Extraterrestrials 101 - We Do Not Need To Be Afraid

There’s a moment in every awakening journey when life no longer makes sense the way it used to.

The rules you followed stop working.
The beliefs that once anchored you begin to crack.
And the identity you built to survive starts to feel painfully small.

That moment is where real transformation begins.

In a recent episode of The Journey of an Awakening Spirit, I sat down with Dr. Scott Guerin, award-winning author, psychologist, and spiritual educator, to talk about what awakening actually looks like when it’s lived, not theorized. His story mirrors the quiet struggle so many high-achieving women experience: doing everything “right” on the outside while falling apart internally.

The Problem: Living a Split Life

Dr. Guerin’s early life followed a familiar script. Deep involvement in organized religion. Academic success. A respected professional identity. And yet, behind the scenes, his personal life unraveled, divorce, financial loss, and a profound internal collapse.

This is the hidden pain so many silently carry.

You can be capable, accomplished, and admired, yet feel disconnected, exhausted, and hollow. Not because you failed, but because the life you’re living is no longer aligned with who you truly are.

The Cause: Separation From Inner Truth

What emerged from our conversation was a powerful truth: awakening doesn’t begin with angels, spirituality, or higher dimensions. It begins when the illusion of separation breaks down.

Separation from your intuition.
Separation from your body.
Separation from your own divinity.

For Dr. Guerin, this rupture came through a “dark night of the soul”, a total collapse of the external structures he trusted. That collapse forced him inward, into meditation, silence, and eventually into a deeper relationship with his own inner guidance.

This is where many people stop.

Because going inward means facing what was buried. Old wounds. Suppressed anger. Fear. Shame. The parts of yourself you learned to hide in order to survive.

The Shadow Work No One Wants to Do

One of the most profound moments of our conversation centered on shadow work, the willingness to see and accept every part of yourself, not just the polished or spiritual ones.

Not to fix them.
Not to erase them.
But to integrate them.

This is the work that restores coherence.

Until we stop rejecting parts of ourselves, we remain fragmented. And fragmented people stay stuck in survival mode, reactive, fearful, and disconnected from their power.

The Solution: Alignment Over Ascension

Awakening isn’t about escaping the human experience. It’s about inhabiting it fully.

Dr. Guerin shared how developing relationships with spiritual guides, angels, and higher intelligences didn’t replace his inner authority, it strengthened it. Over time, the guidance became quieter, not louder. Because true awakening teaches you to trust yourself.

That’s the shift.

From needing answers…
to embodying truth.
From external validation…
to inner sovereignty.

We also explored the larger collective awakening happening on the planet, old systems breaking down, institutions losing control, and humanity being pushed toward a higher level of responsibility and self-awareness.

This isn’t punishment.

It’s preparation.

Why This Matters Now

If you feel unsettled, restless, or like the world you once knew no longer fits, you’re not broken.

You’re responding to misalignment.

The path forward isn’t fear. It isn’t withdrawal. And it isn’t waiting for someone else to save you.

It’s coming home to yourself.

Awakening doesn’t make life easier, but it makes it real. And from that place, peace, clarity, and purpose stop being ideas… and start becoming your lived experience.
