By Cindy Vaillancourt

Are you ready to start your journey as a newly awakened person? You can gain
a better understanding of your own spiritual nature and your many objectives

Waking up to higher levels of consciousness and to our true nature is a
mystical process of liberation and transformation, one bringing inner peace
and freedom. Waking up is about pulling your awareness and consciousness

the possible need for inner healing to bring more joy and love to ourselves
and our family members. We grow, we change, and we become who we’re
meant to be in life. It’s a lifelong journey full of excitement and wonder, and
it’s even more glorious if we choose to see it through newly enlightened eyes.
This spiritual guide offers ways to help you find out who you really are
and what your life’s purpose is beyond your responsibilities, interests, and

INTRODUCTION

God sleeps in the rock, dreams in the plant, stirs

in the animals, and awakens in man.

—Ibn Arabi

Souls reincarnate on this planet for a wide variety of reasons. For those who belong to the family of light, being awake to higher truths and living in love and goodness with the purpose of loving ourselves and others is a great honor and privilege. It is part of our mission.

We chose to come here to reincarnate on earth at this precise time in history. Living on a higher level, our souls chose to come here to wake up and remember that we are more than human. Our souls are ancient.

Waking up to higher levels of consciousness and to our true nature is a mystical process of liberation and transformation, one bringing inner peace and freedom. Waking up is about pulling your awareness and consciousness to the forefront, examining who you are in your heart and mind, and assessing the possible need for inner healing to bring more joy and love to ourselves and our family members.

We grow, we change, and we become who we’re meant to be in life. It’s a lifelong journey full of excitement and wonder, and it’s even more glorious if we choose to see it through newly enlightened eyes.

When we find forgiveness in our hearts and minds, we lighten up. Our energy and our frequency changes for the better. When that happens, we literally change the soup of energy around us in the world. The frequencies become lighter. We contribute to changing the world in this way.

When I began waking up to the higher levels of consciousness in the early 1980s, I was thirsty for a wide variety of knowledge. I delved into numerous books on the occult, looking for answers to questions I had held in my mind for a long time. Often, I felt frustrated because I wanted someone to cut to the chase and tell me exactly what was happening to me and the world around me. I wanted quick answers, not realizing that part of my own awakening required an extended period of study, meditation, exploration, reflection, healing, and growth. I didn’t see the bigger picture and therefore didn’t understand that living my life and being me was part of the formula for inner transformation.

Back then, the internet was just getting started. I found several study groups online and soon began experiencing synchronistic events in my daily life that corresponded directly to things I was learning in my classes and things that emerged during my meditation exercises. For me, learning this hidden knowledge shared only among people with an interest in the occult was very exciting.

My best girlfriend, Lori, and I used to visit a special bookstore during our lunch hour called Magical Journey in downtown Nashville. Upon entering the bookstore, we would hear chimes and other groovy sounds playing. The aroma of incense was inviting, and the bookstore employees always greeted us with the sweetest, most loving faces and smiles who offered to help us find another new book or a cool piece of jewelry.

During one of our visits, a woman approached me and said, You’re the reason why I’m here today! Come with me. I want to show you a book. Lori and I followed the woman after giving each other a quick What’s going on? glance. Then the woman pulled a book from the shelf and handed it to me. It was called Astrology for
