Spiritual Enlightenment

Why do so few people achieve spiritual enlightenment — despite a deep desire to awaken? Through more than two decades as a guide, I have watched the same pattern repeat itself. There are nine main reasons why 99% of all seekers never cross the threshold. Not because the goal is unattainable, but because they turn back when the journey becomes difficult. This article reveals the most common traps — and shows you how to avoid them.

Imagine a place where time does not exist. Where space has no boundaries. Where everything flows together in an infinite dance of consciousness. This is the place your soul calls home. Yet it chose to leave this state and incarnate on Earth – one of the most demanding places for a soul to be. Why? In this article, I share my own crystallization points, including the burnout that nearly took my life, and explore how life’s trials are actually portals to transformation.

This article explores various traditions and practices that can lead to spiritual enlightenment. The path up the mountain has many trails – from the stillness of meditation to nature-based shamanic practices – but all require one crucial factor: a competent guide. Without proper guidance, one risks false awakening, where the ego dresses itself in spiritual garb and creates an illusion of progress. The article also warns against psychedelic shortcuts that rarely lead to lasting transformation, and presents the proto-shamanic path as a holistic approach to self-realisation.

Most of us live in a prison we don’t know we’re in — built by our senses, our thoughts, and everything we’ve been told about reality. Science confirms we perceive perhaps one percent of what actually exists. The rest is hidden behind layers of filters we don’t even know are there. Spiritual enlightenment is about breaking through these illusions to discover who you truly are — timeless, boundless, and one with all that exists. You are not just a grain of sand. You are the entire desert.

In a world overshadowed by crisis and uncertainty, there exists a path back to something you never truly lost—your original, pure nature. This third article in the spiritual enlightenment series explores the journey from the root chakra to the crown, revealing why most shortcuts to awakening fail and what it truly takes to transcend the “grain of sand” existence and reconnect with your infinite inner desert. Discover why the final leap into enlightenment cannot be made alone.

Ancient wisdom traditions speak of being “twice-born”—a profound spiritual awakening that requires the death of the ego, not the body. In this article we explore the shamanic death: a conscious transformation where the ego shifts from being the soul’s ruler to its advisor. Drawing from his own journey through burnout and spiritual crisis, he reveals the practical steps to navigate “The Dark Night of the Soul” and reclaim the innocent joyfulness that still exists within you.

The day you were born, you had a shining pure mind – full of presence and joy. But through childhood, this purity was buried beneath layers of others’ rules and expectations. An ego took over and pretends to be you. This article explores how we lose contact with our true nature – and how you can reverse the process and rediscover the infinite “Sahara” beyond the tiny grain of sand we call “self.”
