awaken awareness of your higher self

STEPHEN DANIEL

I walked along a path of forest hillsides and onto a meadow, stepping over a small bridge to a house made of screens. I removed sandals and placed them neatly on a wooden ledge. This recurring dream from my childhood left me feeling a part of something much bigger. Eventually, I learned the house represented struggle, but also the enlightenment of unseen gifts, showing me where I came from.

I often found myself outside my body, moving through the rooms of my family’s home or over the tops of trees, as if I existed without needing a body. I would travel to worlds where the colors were far more vivid and become immersed in the whole of existence. Transcendental experiences have shaped my life, yet in my youth, I had painful conflicts that left me isolated from a deeper understanding of who I was.

I lived on the edge, pushing the boundaries. I should have died. I heard a voice ask if I wanted to stay or leave. I opened my eyes and saw a light. A deep awareness awakened a greater unity within me, and I met myself for the first time. I had discovered my essence and was learning about my higher self, the origins of intuition, creativity, and healing. For the next three decades, I threw myself into learning about the human essence and its potential to connect beyond the limits of our world. I wrote this book to help others discover their essence. Today, with my wife and dogs, I live a rewarding lifestyle with gratitude and love.
