- Spiritual Awakening means waking up to your true authentic self, and raising your level of consciousness by deepening the connections between your body, heart, mind and soul. It involves learning to embody more presence and relax into your beingness, so you you can experience the simplicity, beauty and richness of living life in the present moment.

Why I Wrote This Book
When I was researching and writing my first book, The Science of Spirituality, my focus was on understanding truth about life, the universe and everything from an intellectual perspective. But once I reached that understanding, I realised that something was still missing. Intellectual knowledge might satisfy the mind, but doesn’t truly satisfy the soul. Real truth must be felt. It must be lived and embodied.
That insight shifted my entire direction. My search turned inwards, and it was through this inner exploration that I began to uncover the deeper truths of human existence and our evolutionary path through life.
Awakening to Wholeness is the fruit of that journey. It’s the result of years of first-hand exploration into the dynamics of psycho-spiritual transformation – how we heal, grow and awaken. This book distils everything I’ve learned about effective psychological healing and spiritual development into one clear, concise, accessible volume.
It isn’t just another book recycling familiar ideas. Every insight shared here comes from personal experience and deep inquiry. I’ve only included what I know to be genuinely effective – practices, principles and perspectives that have proven themselves in my own life and work.
If you’re ready to move beyond concepts and into direct experience… to truly awaken to your wholeness… this book is for you.
Awakening to Wholeness: Book Contents
Awakening to Wholeness includes 7 insightful chapters and 28 informative diagrams and tables to support your understanding.
Chapter 1: Human Consciousness
The first chapter explores the psychological and spiritual makeup of humans. Early parental interactions shape a false sense of self, around which the ego forms. Our true-Self, calm and loving, emerges when we feel safe. Life events cause us to oscillate between this true nature and our reactive ego-self. The chapter outlines a two-fold path to freedom: psychological development to release identification with the false-self, and spiritual development to reconnect with the true-Self.
Chapter 2: The Human Condition
This chapter details the personality, including sub-personalities and the “inner child.” It focuses on subconscious behaviors – like the ego, inner critic and emotional patterns – that hinder growth and cause suffering. It explains why life is designed this way and how accepting reality reduces suffering.
Chapter 3: Human Potential
All beings have an innate drive to evolve and realize their highest potential. Psycho-spiritual development aligns with this process. Consciousness grows through experience, not theory, as life develops the soul’s awareness and essential qualities, which define the purpose of existence.
Chapter 4: Personal Development
Personal development involves “growing up” psychologically by overcoming childish, reactive patterns. It means mastering thoughts, emotions, and the body to release fears, insecurities and limiting beliefs. By removing psychological barriers, we reveal our inner beauty for a fulfilling life.
Chapter 5: Self-Help Techniques
The ego and personality are tools for soul development, but focusing only on psychological healing is limited. Spiritual practices often overlook deep psychological blocks. This chapter offers simple self-help techniques for an integrated approach to psychological healing and personal growth.
Chapter 6: Spiritual Development
Spiritual development means “waking up” by raising and expanding consciousness to reconnect with the true-Self. It’s about embodying higher consciousness in daily life, not transcending it. Spiritual evolution stems from “being” not doing, through practices like meditation, mindfulness and prayer.
Chapter 7: Awakening, Realisation & Enlightenment
This chapter explains awakening as the gradual unfolding of consciousness, Self-realisation as a sudden shift to realising the true-Self, and enlightenment as the ultimate, permanent shift to the soul’s perspective.

Selected Excerpts From The Book
A: True Self, False Self and the Ego
The Self is both a field of consciousness and a point of consciousness, which is the core of our being. The Self (or monad) is the centre of our field of awareness (or soul), and our field of awareness (or soul) is an extension of our Self. The Self has two primary functions: Directing our life (intelligent will) and Experiencing our life (intelligent awareness).
B: The Personality & Ego Formation
The degree of authentic personality that we are able to express is proportional to the number of ego structures we have, and the degree to which we are identified with them. Our true-nature shines out from the core of our being through our personality. If the personality is full of ego structures the light of our true-nature is blocked, so our expression is more likely to be inauthentic.
C: Ego Structures & Holes
There are two main types of ego structure, each of which requires a different approach to healing and reintegration: (1) Protective Structures are created to protect us from the distressed exiled parts of our being. (2) Coping Structures help us to function in the world without our authentic personal qualities.
D: Two-Fold Path of Awakening
Before we can permanently rediscover our true-Self, we need to neutralise the “inauthentic” charge of our false-self. This involves Becoming Self (he psychological aspect) and Being Self (the spiritual aspect of the path).
E: The Human Condition
A human being isn’t a single entity, but a composite of several distinct yet integrated components. Each is an independent consciousness that operates on its own plane of consciousness, yet they all work together as a unified whole.
F: Destiny, Free Will and Karma
how much free-will do we have if we live most of our life on autopilot? Will is not free if it is bound by the effects of our conditioned behaviours. Will is only free if we have sufficient conscious awareness to use it in a considered manner.
G: Presence and Pure Awareness
The ego is a mind-created “problem”, so it cannot be “solved” by the mind. We have to use a higher level of consciousness – the pure awareness of our soul. Presence is embodied pure awareness – a palpable feeling of fullness within the body.
H: Healing and Reintegration
Effective healing and reintegration requires the soul’s presence to intimately connect with the exile, hole or ego structure. Put simply, it requires taking the “healer” (the soul) to the “patient” (the exile, hole or ego structure).
I: An Introduction to Meditation
Meditation is often used for stress relief and relaxation – to relieve the symptoms of an ego-driven life, but it was originally intended to be a way of dis-identifying with the ego-self and developing a deeper connection with our true-Self.
J: How To Meditate
This article covers meditation posture, difficulties and distractions, the two main types of meditation, and it finishes by guiding you through a simple meditation practice. It’s not difficult – in fact it’s the simplest thing to sit in pure awareness.
K: Self Realisation & Nonduality
Most people are suffering from mistaken identity. The self-we-think-we-are was created by our mind, so it cannot awaken because it’s not ontologically real. We have to awaken from that false-self in order to awaken and realise our true-Self.
L: After Enlightenment
Life after enlightenment is completely different to, yet exactly the same as, life before enlightenment. The still, silent backgroud awareness becomes the foreground, and the objects of experience fade into the background.
