For People Ready to Finish Spiritual Seeking
You've been on the path for years. Maybe decades. The search can end. Are you ready?
Direct transmission and guidance for complete self-realization
This Is For You If...
You've been seeking for years. Maybe you've studied with teachers, read the non-dual classics, understand the territory intellectually. You've practiced meditation, attended retreats, explored different paths.
Maybe you've had glimpses and moments where the separate self dissolved and everything was obvious. But it faded, and the seeking continued.
Or maybe you're right on the edge. You can sense that recognition is close. Something fundamental is shifting. But you haven't fully broken through to stable, embodied realization.
You're exhausted with the search. You're ready for it to end.
Not through more accumulation. Not through more years of practice. Through recognizing what was always here.
Why You Still Feel Like Something's Missing
They told spirituality brings:
- Permanent peace
- The end of seeking
- Unconditional happiness
- Freedom from the sense that something's missing
And yet... you still sense subtle incompleteness. Not all the time, but enough that you know something hasn't fully landed.
You're not wrong. In your lived experience, something IS still missing. Not in the absolute, you are already complete, but in how that completeness is recognized moment to moment.
Not because you failed, or because you need another technique, but because there's a difference between initial awakening and complete self-realization. What you've experienced is real, but incomplete. The promises you've heard?
Those describe what happens when the seeking actually ends.
The difference isn't subtle:
Initial awakening: Recognition comes and goes. Seeking and subtle discontentment continues (even if it's seeking to stop seeking). The separate self is seen through, but subtle veils remain. There's progress and completely new baseline of wellbeing, but not completion.
Self-realization: Recognition is stable. Seeking ends, not through achievement, but through the dissolution of what creates seeking. The promise becomes lived reality.
This isn't about getting more awakened. It's about finishing what you started... clearing the final obscurations so the recognition you've tasted becomes your permanent ground.
That’s the difference between understanding non-duality and actually living and embodying it.
What We Do
Clear Ground works directly with all the layers (gross & subtle bodies) of your being through energy sessions. No more teachings. No more practices to accumulate. Direct transmission that clears what's in the way and supports what's ready to emerge.
The work is systematic (guided by developmental understanding of where you are), complete (addresses all dimensions, not just one), and efficient (6-12 months rather than decades).
From wherever you are to stable recognition. That's what we do.
What Clear Ground Stands For
Intellectual Honesty
We don't pretend to know what we don't know. Energy work creates real shifts, but the ultimate mechanism remains mysterious. We're honest about that uncertainty rather than wrapping practices in elaborate cosmologies.
Direct Experience Over Belief
You don't need to believe anything. You just need to be willing to experiment and observe your own experience. The proof is in the recognition, not the framework.
Complete, Not Partial
Clear Ground works across all dimensions (physical, emotional, mental & spiritual) because you're a complete human being.
Results Without Achievement
We track what shifts and support noticeable transformation. But we're not strengthening a belief in a separate self trying to achieve awakening. The paradox: there are results, and no one getting them.
For People Ready to Finish
This isn't for everyone. It's for those who've done the groundwork and are ready for completion. We filter carefully because the work requires real readiness.
What Makes This Work Different
Most spiritual paths say: "Practice these techniques for years and maybe awakening will happen."
Clear Ground says: "You're already close to recognizing you're it and there is nothing to do. Let's finish this systematically in 6-12 months through direct transmission."
The difference: We're not building something new. We're removing what's in the way of recognizing what's already here.
You Don't Need More Knowledge
You've already read enough, understood enough, practiced enough.
You've might have studied the maps: Buddha's teachings on no-self, Ramana Maharshi's Self-inquiry, Eckhart Tolle on presence. Maybe Rupert Spira and Francis Lucille on non-dual awareness. Byron Katie's inquiry. Even Abraham Maslow's self-transcendence at the peak of human development.
They're all pointing to the same recognition - described in different languages across millennia:
Buddha: The end of suffering through seeing no-self
Parmenides: "All is One"
Jesus: "The Kingdom of God is within you"
Ramana Maharshi: "I am That"
Contemporary teachers: Non-dual awareness, presence, the truth of what you are
You understand the concepts. You know the territory intellectually.
What you need now isn't another teaching, another technique, another framework to master.
What you need is what actually supports the breakthrough: direct energy transmission that clears what obscures recognition and stabilizes what's already emerging.
This isn't a path of knowledge. This is how the seeking ends.
But how does this actually work? And why is it different from what you've already tried?
The Paradox
There's a paradox at the heart of this work: Until the I-thought gives up completely, there are practices, maps, and guides that support the journey. After full recognition stabilizes at Stage 6, they naturally fall away.
I spent 6-7 years in systematic awakening practice, progressing through the stages on pretty much on my own. Multiple times I thought "I'm already done", yet a subtle sense of discontentment remained.
Then in Spring 2025, I started working with a teacher. In 5 months, I went from Stage 3 ("I am the universe") to Stage 6 (Self-realization). Not because I achieved something through effort, but because direct energy transmission dissolved what was obscuring recognition.
When I reached LOC 1000 on September 11, the I-thought finally gave up. The discontentment dropped completely. That 5-month acceleration showed me what direct transmission can do.
The discontentment test: How do you know if you're actually complete or just convincing yourself? If there's still a subtle sense that something's missing, even if you've had profound experiences, even if you understand non-duality intellectually, it might indicate you're not done.
At Stage 6, when the I-thought gives up completely, the discontentment drops. Not because you achieved something, but because recognition stabilized. If you're genuinely complete, if the I-thought has given up and there's no subtle discontentment, you won't be reading this.
But if you've told yourself "I'm already there" while still seeking, still attending retreats, still trying to understand your way to freedom? That might be the pattern keeping you stuck.
How Clear Ground Actually Works
Most approaches leave something out.
You can study non-duality for years, understand witness consciousness and emptiness intellectually, and still be completely identified with the separate self. Understanding without recognition.
You can have genuine awakening experiences: moments of no-self, boundless awareness, but emotional reactivity continues, old wounds resurface, shadow material runs the show. Spiritual experience without clearing what's underneath.
Or you can work in therapy or do shadow work, breathwork, bodywork or other therapeutic modalities for years, process trauma, integrate parts, become emotionally mature... and never touch the fundamental recognition that ends seeking. Clearing without realization.
Or recognition happens, maybe even stabilizes, but it stays on the meditation cushion. The moment you're back in relationship conflict, work stress, or life complexity, the separate self reasserts itself. Realization without embodiment.
Clear Ground is different because it works with all of it... systematically, until complete. All within the paradox of the Absolute and the relative.
The Four Dimensions
REALIZATION — The fundamental work. Direct recognition of non-dual awareness, not just understanding it. This is what the stages measure. Already complete from the absolute perspective, progressively stabilizing through the relative journey. Primary work until self-realization (Stage 6 / LOC 1000).
WISDOM — Spiritual intelligence. Self-inquiry, direct investigation, understanding the nature of consciousness. Not replacing experience, but supporting it: loosening mental fixation, opening understanding, enabling recognition to land.
CLEARING — Shadow and emotional purification. Releasing stored trauma, integrating disowned parts, completing unfinished emotional business. This isn't separate from awakening as uncleared shadow actively blocks recognition and creates spiritual bypassing.
LIVING — Embodiment and integration. Nervous system regulation, building capacity to hold recognition in all circumstances—not just in stillness, but in relationship, work, stress, challenge. After self-realization (Stage 6 / LOC1000), this becomes the primary focus.
How Transmission Works
Direct energy transmission operates across four layers where the separate self lives as contraction and identification:
Physical - Body identification, nervous system patterns, chronic tension
Emotional - Reactive patterns, trauma, defended structures
Mental - Beliefs about self and the world, conceptual self-image, the I-thought itself
Spiritual - Subtle witness position, final subject-object duality
Through Wisdom, Clearing, and Living, transmission systematically works on these layers. As contractions release, Realization naturally stabilizes.
This wholistic approach is why the timeline for Self-realization is 6-12 months instead of decades depending on where you are right now. Most likely you are feeling a strong pull towards this work, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this.
In our approach nothing is bypassed. Physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual dimensions are worked on simultaneously. Recognition doesn't just happen in meditation, it stabilizes across your entire life. The work is complete, not partial.
The Paradox
There's a paradox at the heart of this work: Until you see through the illusion of a separate self, there are practices, maps, and guides that can support the journey. After recognition stabilizes, they naturally fall away.
Energy transmission isn't about a separate self trying to achieve awakening. It's direct experiential work, not intellectual understanding, not mental effort. Just experiencing that naturally evolves until the I-thought gives up on its own.
Where you probably are
You've been seeking for years. You've had experiences, moments where something shifted, where the separate self dissolved, where everything was obvious. But it faded. Or maybe you're experiencing something stable but it's not quite... complete. Something's still in the way.
The question isn't "Am I enlightened yet?" The question is: "Where am I, and what's the most direct path from here to completion?"
This is where a map helps and we will get to it next.
The research is clear: For the majority of people awakening unfolds through recognizable patterns. Ramaji's work on levels of consciousness (LOC), Dr. Jeffery Martin's 15+ years studying persistent non-symbolic states (fundamental wellbeing), and traditional contemplative maps all point to the same territory, described in different languages but mapping the same ground.
And also neuroscience is starting to learn what's happening: in awakening, the default mode network (the brain's "self-simulation" system) dramatically quiets. The narrative of "me" as a separate entity moving through time dissolves.
We're not talking about "levels to achieve" that creates or inflates a spiritual ego. We're talking about recognizing where you actually are so we can work with what's present, not waste time on what you've already moved through.
Most people who find their way to Clear Ground are somewhere in Stages 2-5. They've had glimpses or initial awakenings. Recognition has started but hasn't fully stabilized. The separate self is loosening its' grip but not completely seen through yet. The I-thought is still present even though it is a master at hiding.
If that describes you, here's the good news: You're close. Perhaps very close.
The map below shows the six stages from seeking to complete recognition. Read through and see where you recognize yourself. Not to judge or measure progress, but to understand what's actually here now and what's ready to shift next.

Where You Are
You're on a spiritual journey, seeking something you sense is real but haven't yet directly experienced. You've read the books, understand the concepts, maybe had glimpses, but nothing has stabilized.
Peak experiences happen, moments of expanded awareness, oneness, profound clarity, but they fade. You return to your normal state of consciousness, and the seeking continues.
The sense of being "someone in here" looking out at a world "out there" is unmistakable. Try this: Say "I," "me," or "mine" out loud a few times. Notice where you feel that sense of self in your body, behind your eyes, in your chest, somewhere in your head. That palpable sense of being a separate someone? That's what hasn't been seen through yet.
What Your Experience Is Like
- You're clearly on a spiritual path, trying to "get" somewhere
- Enlightenment or awakening feels like something to achieve in the future
- Meditation and other practices require effort, there's a "you" doing them
- Peace and clarity come and go based on circumstances or practice quality
- The world and other people feel fundamentally separate from you
- You're working to improve or purify yourself to eventually reach awakening
- The question "Who am I?" is still theoretical, not experientially alive
What People in Stage 1 Often Say
"I've been meditating for years but nothing's really happened."
"I understand non-duality intellectually but don't experience it."
"I had this amazing experience on retreat, but it completely faded."
"I feel like I'm close but can't break through."
"Maybe I'm just not one of the people who can wake up."
What's Needed
Direct recognition of and a glimpse into your true nature, the initial shift beyond the purely personal self. For some people, this happens spontaneously through personal suffering, loss, or deep depression. For others, through grace when inviting the Divine into their lives. For others still, through direct pointing practices with a teacher. Despite what one might think, it seems to be quite rare to awaken just be reading or listening to spiritual talks or for example doing mindfulness meditation.
Clear Ground facilitates the breakthrough to Stage 2 (initial awakening) and all the way to Stage 6 (the Absolute) through direct energy transmission, typically within 12 months of focused work.

> Stage 2: Realization of No-Self | Initial Awakening (click to learn more)
Where You Are
Something fundamental has shifted. You've directly recognized, not just understood, that there's no continuous, solid "me" running the show. Thoughts happen, but you're not them. Actions occur, but there's no separate doer making them happen.
This is real awakening. Initial, but real.
Try this: Notice a thought arising right now. Is there actually someone thinking it, or does it just appear? Watch your hand move. Is there a separate "you" moving it, or does the movement just happen? If you look closely, the doer is absent. Actions occur, but no one is doing them.
The relief can be enormous. The burden of being a separate self, having to manage everything, figure everything out, make it all work begins to lift.
What Your Experience Is Like
- Direct recognition that "I am not the doer", actions happen spontaneously, not through personal will
- Thoughts, emotions, and sensations are witnessed rather than identified with
- A sense of being awareness or presence that observes everything
- Personal agency and responsibility feel different or absent
- Liberation understood primarily as freedom from the personal self
- Experiences of emptiness, spaciousness, or being the "witness"
- But the world and other people still appear as separate objects "out there"
- A subtle "watcher" or observer remains
What People in Stage 2 Often Say
"There's no one here doing anything, it's all just happening."
"I'm not my thoughts anymore. They just come and go."
"Who would be enlightened? There's no one here!"
"Everything feels lighter, like a burden was lifted."
"But I still feel separate from everything else."
What's Still Incomplete
The personal self is seen as empty, but the world still appears solid and separate. Subject-object duality remains, there's still a "you" (awareness) observing "everything else" (the world). The witness hasn't dissolved yet. Unity hasn't been realized. You're free from the personal self but not yet one with everything.
What's Needed
Deepening beyond the witness into actual unity. Clearing of remaining identification with the observer.

> Stage 3: Realization of Cosmic Self (click to learn more)
Where You Are
Consciousness has expanded dramatically. The boundaries between "you" and "the world" have dissolved or become transparent. Everything feels like it's happening within your awareness, not outside of it.
This is often what people imagine awakening to be—a profound sense of being one with everything, of the universe being extensions of your own being.
Try this: Look around the room. Instead of seeing objects "out there," notice if they appear within awareness, like images on a screen. The screen (awareness) contains everything, and you are that screen. Not a person having awareness, but awareness itself in which everything appears.
The sense of presence is palpable, pervading everything, holding everything. You might feel like consciousness itself, boundless and all-encompassing.
What Your Experience Is Like
- Boundaryless awareness, no longer feeling confined to your body
- Everything appears within your own consciousness, like a lucid dream
- Profound sense of presence or beingness pervading all reality
- The universe feels like extensions of yourself, not separate objects
- Deep experiences of unity, oneness, cosmic consciousness
- "Enlightenment" as many traditions describe it feels achieved
- Blissful, spacious, expansive states are common
- But there's still a subtle "you" experiencing this oneness
What People in Stage 3 Often Say
"I am everything. The universe is happening within me."
"There's no separation, it's all one consciousness."
"I feel infinite, boundless, like pure awareness."
"This is it. This is what all the teachings pointed to."
"But... if I'm one with everything, who's experiencing that oneness?"
What's Still Incomplete
Here's the subtle trap: if you feel "one with everything," who is feeling that? Subject-object duality remains, there's still a "me" (cosmic consciousness) experiencing "everything else" (the content of awareness). The experiencer and the experienced are still split, just more subtly than before.
This is often where people think they're done. Many traditions stop here and call it complete enlightenment. But there's another shift available.
What's Needed
Recognition that even the cosmic self is still a subtle form of identification. The one experiencing oneness needs to be seen through. Dissolving the subtle subject-object split.

> Stage 4: Nondual Devotion and Surrender (click to learn more)
Where You Are
Something has softened profoundly. The attempt to control, understand, or manage the spiritual journey has released. What emerges naturally is deep surrender, not to a separate God "out there," but to Reality itself, the Divine, the Supreme Being, or whatever you call what's ultimately real.
This isn't intellectual belief. It's felt devotion, love for existence itself, gratitude for what is. Not seeking anything from it, just loving it for its own sake.
Try this: Notice this moment exactly as it is. Can you sense a willingness to let it be exactly as it is, without trying to change, improve, or understand it? That quality of allowing, of "Thy will be done", that's what characterizes this stage.
The effort of spiritual practice transforms into allowing grace. You realize: you can't force awakening. Something beyond the personal is needed. And paradoxically, that willingness to surrender is what allows the next shift.
What Your Experience Is Like
- Profound devotion to the Divine or Supreme Reality arises naturally
- Complete willingness to surrender personal will, "Not my will, but Thy will"
- Love of Reality for its own sake, not for what it gives you
- Recognition that "by God's grace you think of God" (Ramana Maharshi)
- Opening to receive help from what's beyond the personal
- Transcendental love that feels more fulfilling than cosmic oneness
- Deep trust in the process, in what's unfolding
- The "Dark Night of the Soul" may occur as final obstacles surface
- But still a subtle distinction between devotee and the beloved
What People in Stage 4 Often Say
"I can't do this alone. Grace is what's needed."
"The love I feel for God/Reality/Truth is overwhelming."
"Surrender is the practice now, not effort."
"It's not about me achieving anything, it's about allowing what's here."
"But there's still 'me' surrendering to 'That.'"
What's Still Incomplete
The devotee and the object of devotion remain subtly separate. There's "you" loving "God" or "you" surrendering to "Reality." This is a beautiful, profound stage, and some practitioners intentionally remain here because the ecstasy of divine love feels complete. As Ramakrishna said, "The devotee wants to taste sugar, not become sugar."
But complete non-duality means even this subtle division dissolves.
What's Needed
Supporting the final recognition that devotee and beloved are not two. The surrender deepens until even the one surrendering is seen through.

> Stage 5: On the Verge of Complete Illumination (click to learn more)
Where You Are
You're very, very close. Most characteristics of complete realization are present: deep peace, clarity about the nature of reality, profound freedom. But something subtle remains. Usually, it's a slight preference for inner peace over engagement with the messy world.
There's a kind of enlightened hermit quality, you see clearly, but you'd rather not be too involved with the complexity and noise of ordinary life. Not because you can't handle it, but because the tranquility of solitude feels cleaner, simpler, more true.
Try this: Think about a challenging, chaotic situation: noisy family gathering, difficult work project, messy relationship dynamics. Notice: is there a subtle pulling back, a sense that "that's not where freedom is"? That subtle filter, that's what remains. Some could call this a "peace prison" keepinf you detached from the world.
You're at the very edge. The final shift is often just a willingness to fully embrace everything—not just the peaceful clarity, but the full catastrophe of human life.
What Your Experience Is Like
- Exhibits most characteristics of complete realization
- Deep inner peace, tranquility, and clarity
- Profound understanding of the nature of reality
- Freedom from most suffering and reactivity
- But maintains subtle distance from "the world" or worldly concerns
- May prefer solitude or retreat from complexity
- Like an enlightened sage who sees no value in ordinary engagement
- Clinging to inner peace rather than embracing everything equally
- The last veil: a belief that "the world" is something to transcend
What People in Stage 5 Often Say
"I have everything I need in this peace. Why get involved in drama?"
"The world is just maya/illusion. Why engage with it?"
"I'm free, but most people aren't ready for this."
"Relationships and worldly concerns feel... unnecessary."
"There's a subtle sense that something's still... not quite..."
What's Still Incomplete
The residual preference. The subtle filter that says "inner peace is true, worldly engagement is not." This creates a last veil of separation, not between self and other anymore, but between "what I prefer" (peace, silence, solitude) and "what I don't" (complexity, noise, engagement).
Complete realization includes everything equally. No preference. No filter. Just what is, whether that's profound silence or chaotic noise.
What's Needed
The willingness to fully embrace worldly existence, not as something to transcend but as the very expression of what you are. To see that washing dishes is as "spiritual" as sitting in meditation. That the messy, complicated, fully human life is not separate from the Absolute.
This final shift often happens quickly once the willingness is there.

> Stage 6: Complete Realization of the Absolute | End of Spiritual Seeking (click to learn more)
Where You Are
The seeking is over. Not because you achieved something, but because you recognized what was always true: there is no separate self. There never was.
Not as a concept. Not as an understanding. As your lived reality, every moment.
Try this: Look for the one who's reading these words. Actually look. Is there anyone there? Or is there just... awareness, reading happening, but no separate "reader"? That absence you're sensing, that's not emptiness in the sense of "nothing." It's fullness, completeness, but with no center, no separate "you" that it's all happening to.
Everything continues: work, relationships, preferences, personality. But the fundamental weight of being a separate self is gone. The search for what you already are has ended. What remains is simple being, present as all that is.
What Your Experience Is Like
- The seeker is completely gone, only the Absolute remains
- No sense of being a separate "someone" anymore
- Realization that "I am" is just pure consciousness, not a person
- Everything recognized as the play of this one consciousness
- Not "oneness" (which implies union of two), just this, all there is
- Complete freedom from any sense of separation
- Not a state to maintain, it's the recognition of what always is
- Ordinary life continues, but without the burden of separation
- No preferences about how things should be vs. how they are
- Deep okayness regardless of circumstances
What People in Stage 6 Often Say
"There's no one here. There never was."
"I am this. All of this. Nothing separate."
"The search is over. I was always what I was seeking."
"Life is exactly the same and completely different."
"How could I have missed something so obvious?"
(Often, they say very little as there's nothing to explain or defend)
The End of the Journey
This is not a state to be achieved but the recognition of what you already are and always have been. The search for "who am I" is complete. The answer: You are the Absolute itself, appearing as this apparent individual. All there is and ever will be is this Primordial Consciousness, and you are That.
There's nowhere to go because you never left. Nothing to achieve because you already are what you sought. The separate self that was seeking is recognized as having been a dream within consciousness, real as an appearance, but never actual.
Life continues: work, relationships, challenges, joys. Personality, preferences, history all remain. But the fundamental illusion of separation is gone permanently. The weight lifts. What remains is just this. Alive. Free. Complete. Living through "don't know mind".
What Remains After
There's ongoing integration and embodiment. Old patterns can still trigger, though without weight. Life continues to unfold, but from this recognition rather than from separation.
Some people integrate quickly (months). Others take longer (years). But the seeking is finished. The recognition is stable. What remains is deepening and living.

What is the intention of this Work?
Where this work leads: Stage 6. Complete self-realization.
The separate self is seen through entirely. The search for what you already are ends. There's no path because there was never anyone on a path.
The typical timeline: People in Stages 1-5 typically need 6-12 months of intensive transmission work to reach stable completion.
Much faster than decades of self-directed practice, but this requires direct energy work, not more knowledge.
Important: This map is not the territory.
Reality is far more nuanced than any framework can capture. Some move through quickly, some slowly. Some skip stages entirely. The map helps orient, but direct recognition is what matters and that's what the transmission work supports.
What Actually Changes with Self-realization
The Shift You Can't Quite Imagine Until It Happens
Before awakening, you experience yourself as a separate person navigating a world of other separate things. You're "in here," looking out at a world "out there." Everything is organized around protecting, improving, and improving this separate self.
After awakening to Stage 6, this fundamental structure ("I-thought") dissolves, but not in the way you might imagine.
What the Shift ISN'T
Let's clear up the fantasies first:
❌ Not becoming special or enlightened in any way that makes you superior
❌ Not gaining supernatural powers or abilities
❌ Not instantly dropping all addictive or dysfunctional behaviours, although these start to change
❌ Not becoming emotionless or detached from life
❌ Not instantly resolving all trauma and emotional issues, these will take time
❌ Not leaving normal life behind for a cave or monastery
❌ Not achieving some permanent bliss state where you're always happy
❌ Not losing your personality, preferences, or humanity
❌ Not becoming perfect or never having challenges again
If you're seeking any of these, this isn't the work for you.
What the Shift IS
Perceptual:
The boundary between "in here" and "out there" becomes transparent or disappears entirely. Not as a concept you understand, but as your lived experience. There's still seeing, hearing, sensing, but no separate "seer" behind it all. Life is just happening, without a separate "you" to whom it's happening.
Emotional:
Feelings still arise: sadness, joy, frustration, love. But there's a fundamental shift: there's no one suffering over the feelings. Sadness happens, but not "poor me" suffering. Anger arises, but doesn't stick. Emotions move through like weather: present, real, but not a problem.
Relational:
People and situations are met as they are, without the constant filter of "how does this affect me?" You can still have preferences, boundaries, opinions. But the defensive contraction around a separate self isn't there. Conflicts happen, but without the suffering of "my position vs. yours."
Existential:
The fundamental anxiety of being a separate self, the background hum of "am I okay? will I be okay?", simply isn't there anymore. Not because you've convinced yourself everything is fine by positive self-talk, but because the one who was worried is seen to have never existed as you thought.
Practical:
Daily life continues; work, relationships, responsibilities, problems to solve. But the weight of it all is gone. Things happen, you respond, life moves on. No accumulation of "my problems," no story building up about "my life." Just this moment, then this moment, then this moment.
[How the Shifts Unfold]
The journey from wherever you are to Stage 6 isn't just conceptual or sudden. Your actual lived experience shifts progressively as recognition deepens. Here's what commonly happens:
The Mind Quiets
Early in the work, one of the first things people notice is a decrease in mental noise. Not that thoughts stop, they don't, but the constant inner commentary, the mental chatter, the planning-worrying-rehearsing loop... it slows down. Periods of silence between thoughts become more common. When thoughts do arise, they're less sticky, less demanding of attention.
This isn't forced. You're not trying to quiet your mind. Rather, as energy clears and awareness stabilizes, the mind naturally settles. What remains is a baseline of calm that wasn't there before, not as something you maintain, but as what you are.
Perception Brightens
Many people report that the visual field becomes more vivid, more immediate. Colors seem richer. Ordinary objects, a coffee cup, tree, someone's face, appear more present, more "there." Not in a hallucinogenic way, but as if a subtle filter has been removed.
It's as if you've been seeing the world through slightly dirty glass your entire life, and suddenly the glass is clean. Same world, same objects, but more direct, more alive. Some describe it as everything having a subtle luminosity or clarity that wasn't there before.
This shift isn't about special states. It's about the normal perceptual filtering of the separate self dissolving, allowing direct perception.
Time Loses Its Grip
As recognition deepens, the psychological weight of past and future diminishes. Memories still exist, plans still get made, but they don't have the heavy, sticky quality they once did.
Past regrets and future anxieties lose their charge. Not because you've resolved them or convinced yourself everything is fine, but because the "me" who was carrying them is seen through. What remains is this moment. Then this moment. Then this moment.
This isn't dissociation or avoidance. Paradoxically, you're more present to what's actually happening—including past memories when they arise and future planning when it's needed. But you're not living in past/future mentally while missing what's here now.
The phrase "timeless present" might sound abstract, but it becomes lived experience. Just this. Always just this.
Reality Feels More Fluid
As boundaries between self and other begin dissolving, reality itself can feel less solid, less fixed. Not in a destabilizing way, but more like... everything is less "sticky," less concrete than you thought.
The hard edges between things soften. The sense that "this is definitely real and solid" loosens. It's not that the world becomes unreal or dream-like in a concerning way, you still function perfectly well, but the absolute certainty that "this is how things are" relaxes.
Some describe it as reality having a lighter, more spacious quality. Events happen, but they're not happening to a solid, separate "you." They're just arising in awareness, playing out, dissolving. Like waves on the ocean, real, but not separate from the ocean itself.
This can be disorienting initially, but it stabilizes into a kind of fluid presence that's more comfortable than the old solid-but-anxious way of experiencing.
Peace Coexists with Everything
Here's where it gets interesting: as recognition stabilizes, you discover that peace isn't the opposite of discomfort. They can coexist.
Physical pain happens, peace remains. Difficult emotions arise, peace remains. Challenging situations unfold, peace remains. Not because you're dissociating or suppressing, but because peace is recognized as your fundamental nature, not a state dependent on circumstances.
This is true resilience. Not the gritted-teeth kind where you're enduring difficulty. But a deep okayness that's present regardless of what's happening. The peace isn't disturbed by the discomfort because it's not in the same category. It's what's aware of the discomfort, not what's experiencing it.
People often think awakening means only positive feelings. Actually, it means being completely available to all feelings, including painful ones, without the suffering about the feelings. The feeling is felt, but there's space around it. No problem.
Everything Integrates
Finally, as you settle into Stage 6, a new baseline emerges. It's not that you're having special experiences anymore. It's that this recognition, this peace, this clarity, this fluid openness, becomes your normal.
You're not trying to maintain a state. You're not working to stay awakened. You're not monitoring your experience to make sure you're "still there." It's just... how things are now.
The paradoxes resolve naturally:
- Emptiness and fullness are the same
- Everything matters and nothing matters
- There's nowhere to go and life continues
- You're completely ordinary and utterly free
- Personality remains and the person is seen through
- Life continues; work, relationships, challenges, ordinary moments. But permeated by this recognition. Not as something added on, but as what was always true, now seen clearly.
- The seeking is finished. What remains is living.
Common Descriptions from Stage 6
People who've completed this journey often say things like:
"It's like I've been carrying a heavy backpack my whole life and suddenly realized I could just put it down. The backpack was never real to begin with."
"Everything is exactly the same, and completely different. Same life, same person, but the suffering around it is just... gone."
"The search for peace ended when I realized I was already peace. Not that 'I' became peaceful, but that peace is what I actually am."
"Life still has challenges, difficult conversations, money stress, health issues. But there's no problem with the challenges. They're just what's happening."
"I'm still me, same personality, same quirks, same preferences. But the 'me-ness' of it doesn't matter anymore. I'm not defending it or building it up."
"I used to think awakening would feel like something extraordinary. Instead, it's the most ordinary, obvious thing. Like, 'Oh, this is what's always been here.'"
A Typical Day After Stage 6 Self-realization
You wake up. Maybe there's tiredness, maybe energy. No story about "I'm tired" or "I need coffee", just the sensations of the body waking.
You interact with family. Your kids are loud, maybe fighting. Frustration arises, but moves through. No buildup of "why are they always like this?" or "I'm a bad parent." Just responding to what's needed.
You work. Tasks get done. Some are interesting, some boring. No narrative running in the background about "my career" or "am I successful enough?" Just doing what's in front of you.
A friend texts something annoying. The annoyance is felt, maybe a boundary is set, life continues. No ruminating, no "why do they always..." Just what is.
Evening comes. Maybe there's relaxation, maybe tiredness, maybe you play music or watch a movie. Just happening. No one watching it happen to them.
Nothing special. Nothing extraordinary. Just life, without the weight of a separate self carrying it all.
What Remains
Your personality doesn't disappear. If you were introverted, you're still introverted. If you had a dark sense of humor, you still do. Your skills, knowledge, memories, preferences, all still here.
Your history doesn't vanish. The story of your life is still there if someone asks about it. But it's like talking about a character in a movie you once watched, not "me and my life."
Challenges don't stop. Bills still need paying. Relationships still need tending. Your body still gets sick, tired, old. But none of it is a problem in the existential sense. It's just what's happening.
Preferences remain. You still like what you like, dislike what you dislike. But there's no one clinging to having things be a certain way. Preferences arise, sometimes they're met, sometimes they're not. Either way is fine.
What's Gone
The seeker. The one who was trying to become awakened, trying to fix themselves, trying to get somewhere... gone. Not because they completed their quest, but because they were seen to have never existed as a real, separate entity.
The sufferer. Pain happens, but suffering (the resistance to pain, the story about it, the "why me?") is optional. And when you see through the separate self, that optional suffering just... doesn't happen.
The defender. The constant vigilance around protecting "me" and "mine", my reputation, my position, my rights, dissolves. Not because you become a pushover, but because there's no separate "me" that needs defending.
The future/past weight. The past is just memory. The future is just concept. Neither have weight. Life is just this, now. Then this, now. Then this, now.
The searcher. The seeking for what you already are ends. Not because you found it, but because you realized you were never actually lost.
The Relief
This is what people report most consistently: enormous relief.
Not because something amazing was gained, but because something that was never real was finally seen through.
Imagine you've been carrying a burden your entire life, the burden of being a separate self who needs to survive, be okay, be enough, be happy, be successful, be loved. And then you discover that burden was optional. It was never actually yours to carry.
The relief isn't about circumstances improving. It's about the fundamental weight of separation lifting.
Life continues. But free.
Integration: What Happens After
Stage 6 isn't the end of the road, it's the end of seeking. Then there's living from that recognition.
Integration happens over time:
- Old patterns still trigger sometimes (but without the weight)
- Relationships need to be renegotiated (people sense something different)
- Work might feel different (less driven, more natural)
. New questions arise (how do I live from this? what calls to be expressed?)
- This is why the work includes post-awakening support. Recognition is stable at Stage 6, but embodying that recognition fully takes time.
Some people integrate quickly (a few months). Others take years. Either way, the seeking is finished. What remains is deepening and living.
Is This What You're Ready For?
Not everyone wants this. Some people genuinely enjoy the seeking. Some aren't ready to let go of the separate self (even though it's causing suffering).
But if you're reading this and something in your gut is saying "yes, this is what I've been pointing toward", not just intellectually but felt, then maybe this is your moment.
The transformation isn't about becoming someone special. It's about recognizing you were never the separate someone you thought you were.
And that recognition changes everything while changing nothing.

Maximum Effectiveness, Minimum Effort-ing
After years of intensive practice and elaborate techniques, what if it could be simpler?
You show up bi-weekly for our private sessions.
We check in briefly about what's happening. You share what you're experiencing, ask any questions. Then we do the transmission work - systematic energy work across physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual layers. This supports Realization to emerge and stabilize.
That's it.
No elaborate daily practices to maintain. No complex techniques to master. No years of accumulation.
Just direct energy work that removes what's in the way.
The Timeline
Most people reach stable completion within 12 months of consistent work.
This might sound too fast, especially when you hear that my journey took 19 years. Here's the difference: I spent 13 of those years wandering without a systematic approach, without maps, without understanding that awakening can be approached through progressive stages.
I tried self-development that didn't lead anywhere. I meditated for years without the key element that actually shifts recognition (awareness becoming aware of itself).
You won't need to wander for 13 years because you're starting with what I spent years discovering: a systematic approach, direct transmission, and clear maps.
When I finally found systematic practice in 2019, progress accelerated. When I started working with my teacher in Spring 2025, I moved from Stage 3 to Stage 6 in 5 months.
For people starting at Stage 1, initial awakening typically happens within the first month or two.
Then it's a matter of stabilizing and deepening that recognition through the remaining stages.
This timeline isn't a guarantee, nothing in this domain can be guaranteed absolutely. But it's based on consistent patterns from my teacher Ramaji's students and my own direct experience. If you show up consistently and do the work, completion within 12 months is realistic.
What Happens
Recognition emerges and stabilizes. The separate self is seen through. The search for what you already are ends. What remains is embodying and integrating that recognition into daily life.
What to Expect: The Real Process
You'll sometimes hear that awakening is the most beautiful thing: bliss, divine love, joy, liberation from suffering. These are rea, they do occur naturally as you recognize your true nature.
But that's not the whole story.
On the way to stable realization, shadow material surfaces. Unconscious patterns emerge. Old trauma comes up. Emotional wounds that have been buried need to clear. This is normal. This is part of the process.
Here's the typical pattern I experienced and see in others: There's a moment of opening: clarity, spaciousness, recognition. It might last minutes, hours, even a day. Then purification begins. Anger surfaces. Depression moves through. Old grief emerges. For days or even weeks, you might feel worse, not better.
This isn't regression. It's release. The energy work brings up what's ready to clear from the system. With time these cycles of clarity and purification seemed to happen more quickly and also they weren't psychologically so demanding anymore.
When you transition between stages - say from Stage 1 (pre-awakening) to Stage 2 (initial awakening), or Stage 2 to Stage 3 (Cosmic Consciousness) - there's often a moment where you think "This is it. I'm done. This is the ultimate truth." Everything feels complete. Your intuitions feel absolutely true.
But those perceptions are still filtered through conditioning and unresolved shadow material and seen through the current stage you are at. You're experiencing a genuine shift, but it's not final completion. There's still more to stabilize in the Absolute. It's usually wise to wait on major life decisions in the midst of these transitions and allow time for integration.
I convinced myself I was complete several times during my journey. Each time felt utterly convincing. Each time, subtle discontentment eventually revealed there was further to go.
Having a guide who knows this pattern makes a significant difference. I can tell you when difficult emotions are normal purification versus something requiring additional support. I can point out when you're at an intermediate stage thinking it's final completion. I can help you understand what's normal for your current state and what typically comes next, without getting attached to the map itself.
Self-realization is profound. It's also not all bliss and light. It is actually very ordinary, but you will go through different phases. You'll hear mostly the beautiful parts in spiritual marketing. I'm telling you the whole truth: there's liberation on the other side, and there's real work to get through on the way.
If you're looking for only the good parts, this probably isn't the right approach. If you're willing to work with whatever emerges - including the difficult stuff and the humbling realization that you're not done when you think you are - then we can navigate it together.
What Happens Along the Way
The primary focus is Realization, awakening, and direct recognition of what you already are. But the wholistic approach means other dimensions naturally clear and integrate as this unfolds:
Clearing Inner Obstacles
Old wounds, trauma, and shadow material surface and release naturally. Not because we're focusing on therapy, but because energy work brings up what's ready to clear from the body-mind. We work with whatever emerges. This is essential, not optional.
Wisdom & Understanding patterns
You understand what the wisdom traditions have been pointing at, and what the perennial truth is all about.
You might discover your Enneagram type or other patterns that continue even after awakening. Your personality isn't going anywhere even as the belief to be a separate person drops off.
This isn't about fixing yourself, you're already whole. It's about understanding how certain flavors and tendencies continue, which helps with integration and reduces confusion.
Living Your Life
Once recognition stabilizes, there's still embodiment work. How does this live in relationships? In work? In daily life? We support this ongoing integration as needed, especially after Self-realization (Stage 6 / LOC 1000), when Living becomes the primary focus.
But make no mistake: Realization is the fundamental work. Everything else happens in service of that.
Is this for you?
This is real high intensity transformation work. It's not for everyone. It's for people who are genuinely ready to finish.
This work is for you if:
You have been seeking seriously for 5+ years
You have had glimpses or initial awakening or feel you are close to it
You've done significant practice (meditation, inquiry, etc.)
You are exhausted with the search, ready for completion
You've told yourself "I'm already done" but a subtle discontentment remains
You want systematic guidance without dogma
You can invest seriously in your realization
You're ready to experiment with direct experience, not just read about it
You're willing to trust direct transmission
You can handle paradox, ambiguity, and mystery
This work is (probably) NOT for you if:
You're early in spiritual exploration
You're convinced that your current approach is all you need (if your life is getting better as time goes by, you should follow your intuition)
You want more knowledge and understanding
You're looking for self-improvement or better functioning
You have active mental health crises (stabilize that first)
You're not ready to invest appropriately
The seeking is part of your identity
Why This Moment Matters
You've been seeking for years. You're exhausted. You're close, maybe closer than you realize.
There's a moment in every seeker's journey where continued self-directed seeking yields diminishing returns. Where reading one more book, attending one more retreat, trying one more technique... just extends the search. That moment might be now. If you're reading this and something is resonating, not just intellectually but in your gut, that's worth paying attention to.
The recognition you're seeking doesn't wait for perfect conditions. It happens when readiness meets the right support.
The question isn't "Am I perfect enough for this?"
The question is: "Am I done seeking?"
If the answer is yes, let's talk.
Who's Guiding This Work
I'm a logistics engineer by training. Quite different from this work. Here's my condensed origin story.
When a devastating breakup in 2006 shattered my identity, I did what most people do: I tried to fix myself. Years of self-development and personal growth work, trying to make the separate self better, stronger, more functional.
Eventually I discovered what you might already suspect: improving the separate self isn't the solution. You can't fix what was never broken. You can't perfect what doesn't exist as you think it does.
After 13 years of exploration bouncing from modality to modality, the real awakening work began in 2019 with systematic practice guided by Dr. Jeffery Martin's methodology.
For the next 6 years, I progressed through the stages on my own, from initial awakening to deeper recognition, and convinced myself several times that I was complete.
But a subtle discontentment always remained, so I knew to continue.
Gradually, through systematic energy work across multiple traditions: KAP (Kundalini Awakening Process), VortexHealing (by Ric Weinman), Spiritual Unfoldment Network, and others, I felt my experience shifting and deepening.
In Spring 2025, I started working with my teacher Ramaji, whose Levels of Consciousness (LOC) map I'd known for years. In just 5 months, I moved from Stage 3 (Cosmic Consciousness) to Stage 6 (Complete Self-Realization).
On September 11, 2025, the I-thought gave up. The seeking ended. The discontentment dropped completely.
That acceleration, 5 months with transmission versus years of solo practice, showed me what's possible with the right guide.
I believe a teacher can only guide someone as far as they've gone themselves. Stage 3 was a profound non-dual state, expansive, boundaryless, deeply peaceful. I could have started teaching from there. But I sensed that before guiding others to complete self-realization, my own recognition needed to be stable at Stage 6. Otherwise, I'd be pointing to territory I hadn't fully traversed myself.
Now I can, although aspects of integration, maturation, clearing and living are still ongoing.
During those years, I also trained as a Certified Integral Therapist with Dr. Mark Forman, which influenced how I approach this work, integrating realization with clearing and embodiment.
I didn't take the shortest route and stagnated several times, but this gives me the advantage of understanding the obstacles others face. I can guide you through territory I know intimately - not from books or theory, but from direct navigation.
The seeking can end. I know because mine did.
All the best,
Tuomas
Why I Can Guide You, or Can I?
I'm a new guide. I reached Stage 6 less than three months ago, completing a nearly seven-year journey from initial awakening to the final end of seeking. I don't have client testimonials yet or decades of teaching experience, I've just started working with the first few people drawn to this work.
What I do have:
Direct experience. I went from Stage 3 to Stage 6 in 5 months through the exact transmission work I'm now offering. Before that, I navigated from Stage 1 through initial awakening and deepening largely on my own. I'm not teaching theory, I'm sharing what actually worked.
Systematic knowledge. I spent years studying maps, systems, techniques, and energy work traditions. I came to realization experimentally, not accidentally. I remember how confusing highest teachings (direct path) were without a systematic approach. That's what I offer: a clear path through territory I just traversed.
Transmission capability. Through my background in multiple energy work traditions (KAP, VortexHealing, Spiritual Unfoldment Network) and my experience with Ramaji, I discovered I can facilitate the transmission work that accelerated my breakthrough, along with other complementary energies. After Stage 6 stabilized, I also gained the capacity to sense intuitively where people are on the map.
Fresh memory of the obstacles. I remember what it's like to be stuck at Stage 3, convinced you're done while discontentment remains. I remember the confusion, the false starts, the years of wandering. This advantage of being recent means I can guide you through obstacles I navigated just months ago.
Background in coaching and transformation. My previous venture focused on holistic transformation—habit change and psychological support for lifestyle changes. In 2015 I co-founded a company here in Finland (Muutos.net), and we supported over 50,000 people to lasting change through online coaching before I exited the company in 2023. Working with people is familiar territory for me.
You're an early adopter. There's risk in that. I'm building my track record in real time. But there's also opportunity: introductory pricing, dedicated attention, and working with someone who intimately remembers the territory you're navigating.
If you need extensive social proof and established reputation, wait a year and check back. If you're drawn to this work and trust your intuition, let's talk.
Investment in this work
This work requires significant investment: time, energy, and money.
I know the financial investment isn't trivial. Over the past 19 years, I've personally spent tens of thousands on retreats, courses, books, sessions, workshops, and certifications. Not to mention the time and attention that could have gone elsewhere.
So consider: What have you already spent on your seeking? Retreats, courses, teachers, books. What will you continue to spend if the search goes on for another 5, 10, 15 years?
This isn't another annual retreat. It's not one more modality to try. This is a single investment in finishing the search entirely.
The pricing reflects:
- Deep personalized work over 6-12 months
- Dedicated attention to your unique process
- The level of expertise required to guide someone to completion
- A sustainable practice that serves transformation, not scale
Some people spend several thousand per year on retreats and workshops, year after year, without ever reaching stable realization. This is designed to end that cycle.
If you're ready to finish and can invest appropriately, the value becomes clear. Your intuition will genuinely tell you if working with me right now is the right move. If you're happy with your current practice or teacher, you should probably stick with that. If price is your main concern, this may not be the right time, and that's perfectly fine. Join the email list and return when you're ready.

Questions and Answers
ABOUT THE WORK
What exactly is "energy work"?
Energy work refers to transmission and systematic practices that work directly with consciousness and subtle dimensions of experience that aren't purely physical. Different traditions call this working with subtle bodies, energy systems, or consciousness itself. Modern science is starting to study similar territory through contemplative neuroscience and psychedelics research, but we're early in that research.
What I know from 19 years of practice: when applied systematically across the subtle bodies (spritual, causal/consciousness, mental, astral/emotional, physical/etheric), these practices create measurable shifts in awareness, emotional clarity, and embodied presence. I can't tell you exactly why or how, the mechanism isn't fully understood, but it works.
Do I need to believe in energy or subtle bodies for this to work?
No. You just need to be willing to experiment and observe your own experience. Many people start skeptical and discover they CAN sense these dimensions with practice. The proof is in the direct experience, not the belief. Your energy sensitivity will increase along the way.
Think of it like taste, I can describe chocolate to you, but you need to taste it to know what it actually is. Same with subtle bodies. You'll discover them through direct experience, not through believing what I tell you.
What's the role of the map for stages of progression? Isn't that creating an achievement game or strenghtening the separate self?
The map is a diagnostic tool, not a ladder to climb. It helps you understand where you are and what patterns are normal for that stage. This prevents confusion and wasted effort.
The paradox: there IS a progression (the map shows it), but ultimately there's nowhere to go and no one to get there. The map is useful for navigation, but the destination is recognizing you were never separate from what you were seeking.
We use it lightly, not fixating on numbers or creating competition, but it's valuable for orientation.
Transmission sounds like guru dependence. Won't I become dependent on you?
Fair concern. Spiritual communities are full of unhealthy teacher dynamics.
Here's how I think about it: You're not becoming my student in some hierarchical sense. You're working with someone who has transmission capability and can guide you through specific territory.
The transmission work itself isn't about me having power over you. It's energetic work that happens regardless of personality dynamics. You remain autonomous throughout. You're not adopting my beliefs, joining a community, or pledging allegiance to a teaching.
We work together for 6-12 months with a clear endpoint: stable completion. Then you're done. There's no "advanced training" or "inner circle" to keep you coming back. The whole point is to end seeking, not create lifelong dependency. I'd much rather help you, and once you're done perhaps you'll recommended me to a friend that could benefit from this work.
After Stage 6, there aren't really teacher and student roles anymore anyway. We're just two humans, one of whom traversed territory recently and can point the way.
If at any point the dynamic feels unhealthy or you sense dependency forming, we talk about it directly. I'm not interested in keeping anyone in a program that's become about me rather than their realization.
The best outcome is that in 12 months, you're complete and you move on with your life.
Stages (LOC) map / measurement feels like spiritual materialism. Aren't you just creating another achievement game?

ABOUT READINESS
How do I know if I'm ready for this work?
You're likely ready if:
You've been seeking seriously for 5+ years
You've had glimpses or initial awakening experiences that faded
You understand non-dual language (witness, awareness, no-self, etc.)
You've done significant meditation, inquiry, or other practices
You feel exhausted with seeking and ready for it to end
You can invest seriously (time, energy, money) in completion
You're willing to trust direct transmission over needing to understand everything
You're probably NOT ready if:
You're early in spiritual exploration (less than 3-5 years)
You want more intellectual understanding (path of knowledge)
You're seeking self-improvement or better functioning
You have active mental health crises that need stabilization first
You're not willing/able to invest appropriately
The initial conversation assesses this directly.
What if I'm not sure what stage I am now?
That's exactly what the initial conversation is for. Through that discussion, I can sense where you are and whether this work is appropriate. If you're earlier (Stage 1), I'll be honest that you need more groundwork first. If you're already at Stage 6 (although you know it already), you don't need this work.
Most people who find Clear Ground and resonate with the message are in the right range. The language and approach naturally filters.
What if I've never had a "glimpse" or awakening experience?
If you've been practicing seriously for 5+ years, you've likely had moments you didn't recognize as glimpses—brief moments of no-self, sudden clarity, the world appearing "empty" or luminous. These might have been so brief you dismissed them.
The initial conversation will clarify this.
Why not just continue solo practice and meditation on my own?
You can. Some people do reach completion through solo practice - it's possible.
But here's what I learned from experience: I spent 6-7 years making steady progress on my own through systematic practice. I went from Stage 1 to Stage 3. Then I worked with a teacher for 5 months and went from Stage 3 to Stage 6.
The difference wasn't that I suddenly tried harder or discovered a secret technique. It was direct transmission.
Solo practice can get you far, especially if you're systematic and have good maps. But there's something about direct energetic work from someone who's already complete that accelerates the process dramatically. I don't fully understand the mechanism - nobody does - but the pattern is consistent.
Think of it this way: you could probably learn guitar from YouTube videos and books. Some people do. But working with a skilled teacher who can feel where you're stuck and adjust in real-time? That's a different trajectory.
If you want to keep going solo, do that. But if you've been practicing seriously for 5+ years and recognition still hasn't stabilized, transmission work might be what shifts the pattern.
ABOUT THE PROCESS
What happens in a typical session?
We meet bi-weekly via video (zoom) for 60-90 minutes.
Check-in: You share what's been happening - shifts, challenges, questions, experiences. I assess where you are and what needs attention.
Transmission work : Direct energy work across the three subtle bodies. You'll sit with eyes closed while I work energetically. This isn't passive - you're actively sensing and allowing what's happening. Sometimes there's guidance or inquiry mixed in, depending on what's emerging.
Integration: Brief discussion of what happened and what to notice between sessions.
That's it. No elaborate homework. No complex practices to maintain. Just showing up and allowing the work to happen.
What will I experience during the sessions?
This varies widely by person and stage. Common experiences include:
- Deep stillness and spaciousness
- Emotional releases (crying, laughing, anger surfacing and moving through in the following days after the session)
- Physical sensations (heat, tingling, pressure, energy moving)
- Spontaneous insights or recognition
- Nothing obvious at all (but shifts happen anyway)
The experience matters less than the results over time especially in the following days. Some people have dramatic experiences but slow progress. Others feel little to nothing during sessions but make rapid strides. Trust the process rather than judging by immediate experience.
Do I need to do daily practices between sessions?
Not elaborate ones. The energy transmission does the primary work. Between sessions, I might suggest simple experiments: sitting in stillness, noticing certain patterns, working with specific inquiries - but nothing time-intensive. For maximum impact there are experiments you can do for 15-30 min per day - but they are not mandatory.
This is part of what makes the approach efficient. You're not maintaining 2-hour daily practice routines. You're showing up bi-weekly and allowing the transmission to work.
How long does the work take?
For people in Stage 1-2, it will be somewhere there in the 12 range months depending on how much for it will take with the initial awakening to Stage 2. For people in Stages 3-5, typically closer to 6 than 12 months of bi-weekly sessions. Some factors that affect timeline:
Faster:
Already in later stages (3-5)
Strong energetic sensitivity
Deep willingness to surrender
Fewer psychological blocks
Slower:
Heavy trauma load that needs clearing
Strong intellectual defenses
Resistance to letting go of control
Life circumstances creating stress
6-12 months sounds too good to be true. It took you 19 years - why would I be faster?
Fair question.
Here's what actually happened:
I spent 13 years (2006-2019) wandering without a systematic approach. No maps. No understanding that awakening has progressive stages. I tried endless self-development that didn't lead to realization. I meditated without the key insight (awareness aware of itself) that actually shifts recognition.
Those 13 years were essentially wasted time (of course I learned many things that are useful, but not really for Realization). You won't need to repeat them.
When I discovered systematic practice in 2019, everything changed. When I started working with my teacher in 2025, I went from Stage 3 to Stage 6 in 5 months.
The 12-month timeline isn't me promising something I didn't experience. It's me giving you the systematic approach from day one, the approach I didn't have for 13 years.
This timeline comes from my teacher Ramaji's consistent track record with students and my own direct experience. For people starting at Stage 1-2 (where most are), initial awakening typically happens within a month. Then it's deepening and stabilizing through the remaining stages.
Can I guarantee this timeline for everyone? No. Nothing in this domain can be guaranteed absolutely. But if you show up consistently and do the work, completion within 12 months is realistic.
Some people move faster, some need more time for integration. But it's consistently faster than decades of self-directed seeking without a guide.
What if nothing happens after a month or two?
Honestly, that's very rare for people who show up consistently. Stage 1→2 (initial awakening) typically happens within the first month. From there, continued progress through the stages is consistent if you're doing the work.
If you're not experiencing any movement after two months, we'd have an honest conversation about whether this is the right approach or timing for you. I don't keep people in programs that aren't serving them.
What happens after I reach Stage 6 (The Absolute, Self-realization)?
We complete the intensive work for self-realization. The seeking is finished. Recognition is stable.
Then there's integration: how does this live in relationships, work, daily life? How do you make sense of this new way of being? Some people want occasional check-ins for a few months. Others are complete and move on. Remember, you aren't really paying for X number of sessions, but the support to self-realization. If we can achieve that by 3 sessions instead of 25, that is absolutely fine.
Stage 6 doesn't mean your life stops or you become perfect. It means the fundamental illusion of separation is seen through permanently. Life continues, but from a completely different ground.
What about emotional difficulties or 'dark nights' during the process?
This is important to address honestly.
You'll often hear that awakening is all bliss, divine love, and liberation from suffering. Those experiences are real and they do occur as recognition stabilizes. But that's an incomplete picture.
On the way to Stage 6 (self-realization), shadow material surfaces. Unconscious patterns emerge. Old trauma that's been buried comes up to be cleared. Emotional wounds need to move through the system. This is normal. This is part of how the work unfolds.
Here's the pattern I experienced personally: A moment of opening happens: clarity, spaciousness, recognition. It might last minutes, hours, even a full day. Beautiful. Then comes purification.
In the days or weeks following, difficult emotions surface: anger you didn't know you were carrying, depression that feels like it comes from nowhere, old grief, existential disorientation, physical discomfort. You might feel significantly worse before feeling better.
This isn't something going wrong. It's what's supposed to happen. The energy work brings material to the surface that's ready to clear. The system is purging what no longer serves recognition.
The "This is it" trap:
Another pattern worth understanding: When you transition between stages - Stage 1 (pre-awakening) to Stage 2 (initial awakening), or Stage 2 to Stage 3 (Cosmic consciousness) - there's often a moment where you think "This is it. I've arrived. This is the ultimate truth."
Everything feels complete. Your perceptions feel absolutely accurate. Your intuitions feel like objective reality.
But those perceptions are still filtered through conditioning and unresolved shadow issues. You're experiencing a genuine shift—it's real—but it's not final completion.
There's still more to stabilize in the Absolute.
I convinced myself I was complete several times during my 6-7 years of systematic practice. Each time felt utterly convincing. Each time, subtle discontentment eventually revealed there was further to go.
Why a guide helps:
I know the difference between normal purification and something requiring additional support (like therapy for heavy trauma).
I can recognize when you're at an intermediate stage thinking it's final completion - because I remember how convincing each stage felt when I was in it.
I can help you understand what's normal for your current state of consciousness, what to pay attention to, and what typically comes next—without getting attached to the map or turning stages into achievements.
I remember what it's like when rage surfaces unexpectedly at Stage 3, or when everything feels meaningless at Stage 4, or when you're absolutely certain you're done at Stage 5 while subtle discontentment remains. I can tell you "this is normal for where you are" versus "we need to slow down and address this differently."
You're not navigating these challenges alone, confused about whether you're progressing or regressing or complete.
What I'm trained to work with:
Through my Integral Therapy training and energy work background, I can support emotional clearing as it emerges. We work with whatever surfaces, not bypassing it, but also not making it the central focus. The awakening work IS the clearing work.
When to get additional support:
If you have significant unprocessed trauma, active PTSD, or heavy psychological material, having an additional therapist (not me) alongside this work is wise. I'll be honest about when I sense you need additional support beyond what I can provide.
The honest picture:
Self-realization is the most profound shift possible. It's also not only beautiful moments and expanded states. There's liberation on the other side, and there's real work, sometimes difficult work, to get through on the way.
Most spiritual marketing only shows the good parts. I'm showing you the whole picture so you can decide if you're genuinely ready for what this entails.
If you're only interested in feeling better or having peak experiences, this isn't the right work. If you're willing to work with whatever emerges - including anger, grief, fear, existential confusion, and the humbling realization that you're not done when you think you are - because you're committed to finishing the seeking, then we can navigate it together.
Is this safe? I've heard energy work can be destabilizing.
Energy work and deep consciousness work DO bring up suppressed material: emotions, trauma, existential disorientation. That's part of the process, not a problem.
I'm trained to work with this . I know how to navigate what arises. But you need appropriate support structures: stable life situation, possibly a therapist if there's heavy trauma, people who can support you.
This isn't "spa day self-care." It's serious transformation. If you have active mental health crises, you need to stabilize that first (and let me know before hand). But for people who are ready, the work is as safe as any deep consciousness work can be.
What if I'm not comfortable with "spiritual" language or concepts?
That's actually fine. While I use terms like "subtle bodies" and "awakening," I'm not attached to any particular cosmology. We can talk in whatever language works for you... consciousness, awareness, whatever.
What matters is direct experience, not the concepts. If you're uncomfortable with spiritual frameworks, we work with what you CAN relate to. The recognition happens regardless of the language we use to point to it.
Can this work be done remotely/online, or does it need to be in person?
All sessions are done via video call. Energy work doesn't require physical proximity: consciousness isn't limited by space. I've worked with people internationally with the same results as local clients.
The only requirement is a quiet space where you won't be interrupted and a stable internet connection. The transmission part works even without the video call.
What if I have religious beliefs? Does this conflict with my faith?
This work isn't religious. It doesn't ask you to abandon or adopt any beliefs. Many contemplative traditions, Christian mysticism, Sufism, Buddhist Tantra, Advaita Vedanta. describe similar territories using different language.
If you're a practicing Christian, Muslim, Jew, or any other faith, this work can deepen your relationship with the Divine within your tradition. We're not replacing your path, we're supporting the recognition your path points toward.
ABOUT INVESTMENT
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, for the One year program we offer quarterly payments in addition to the full program upfront. We can discuss specifics in the initial conversation.
What if I can't afford this right now?
Then this might not be the right time. This work requires investment, not just money, but time, energy, and readiness. If finances are a major stressor, that stress can actually interfere with the work.
Join the email list. Work with what's accessible now (meditation, inquiry etc.). When you're in a position to join, reach out. I will be here.
Do you offer refunds if it's not working?
There's no refund policy after we begin, but I also won't keep you in the program if it's not serving you. If after the first month we both sense this isn't the right fit or timing, we'd have an honest conversation.
This is why the initial conversation is so important: to assess genuine readiness before we commit to each other.

ABOUT AFTER
What happens after I reach complete realization? Does life stop?
Life continues. You still have a personality, preferences, challenges. But the fundamental illusion of separation is gone permanently.
You might still feel sad, angry, joyful, emotions arise. But there's no one suffering over them. Challenges occur, but there's no resistance to what is. Work continues, relationships continue, creativity continues, but from a completely different ground.
It's not that you become "special" or "perfect." It's that the search for what you already are ends. Enormous relief. Then just living.
I live a pretty ordinary life with my wife, three kids here in Finland, Northern Europe. On my freetime I play guitar in a punk band with chilhood friends, watch movies, enjoy the nature.
Can I lose it once I reach Stage 6 (The Absolute / Self-realization)?
No. Stage 6 is permanent recognition, not a temporary state unlike Stages 1-5. Once you see and experience that there never was a separate self, you can't unsee it. It's like discovering the earth is round, you can't go back to believing it's flat.
There is ongoing integration and embodiment which is something I am still also experiencing. The recognition deepens and matures. But the fundamental shift is irreversible.
Will this affect my relationships, work, or normal life?
Yes and no.
From the outside, you might look exactly the same. Same job, same relationships, same daily activities.
From the inside, everything is different. Less reactivity, more presence, less drama. Some relationships might shift naturally: people respond to the change in your energy.
Some work might feel less meaningful, other things might call more strongly.
But this isn't about escaping life. It's about engaging with life fully, without the filter of separation.
OTHER TOPICS
Do you work with groups or only 1-to-1?
Currently only 1-to-1. The transmission work is most effective in direct one to one context. Small group work might be added later where each participant will get their personal transmission work during the session, but we combine the sharing q&a session. Larger groups work for for post-awakening integration or community, but the core completion work is individual and later on small group work.
What if I have a question between sessions?
Brief questions via email are fine. The bi-weekly rhythm is intentional and gives time for integration and prevents dependency.
If something urgent arises, we can schedule an additional session if needed.
Can I take breaks during the work, or do I need to commit continuously?
Consistency matters for momentum. Taking a month off due to life circumstances is fine if necessary and unavoidable.
The 6-12 month timeline assumes consistent bi-weekly work. If you need frequent breaks, this might not be the right time.
What if English isn't my first language?
I am not a native speaker myself, so do not expect perfect English and poetic descriptions about the nature of consciousness. Jokes aside, as long as you can communicate comfortably in English, we can work together. The energy transmission doesn't require perfect language, it's about presence and allowing.
I'm already working with another teacher. Can I do both?
Depends on the situation. If it is energy work, mixing transmissions from multiple teachers simultaneously can create confusion. If you're working with someone else, complete that work first or be willing to pause it.
But if it not transmission based, it is ok to work with another teacher as long as you feel it is the right thing to do.
Exception: If you have a therapist for trauma work, that's obviously fine. But I would not recommend simultaneous intensive awakening work with multiple teachers. After all, if you are happy with your current teacher, maybe it is not right time for us to work.
What if I've already reached Stage 6 (Absolute / Self-realization) on my own?
Then you don't need this work, but I'd be happy to discuss integration or post-awakening embodiment.
What's the next step?
If you are drawn to this work, Click "Apply for Initial Conversation." and we schedule a 30 minute video call to explore further. No obligation either way, it's mutual assessment of readiness and fit.
