Intuitive Awakening

In this  episode, we explore the ancient and enduring idea that life itself is a sacred drama, one in which the soul enters willingly, forgets its origin, and slowly remembers through love, loss, joy, and illumination. Drawing from poets, mystics, philosophers, and sacred traditions across time, this episode invites listeners to see their lives not as random or meaningless, but as intentional participation in a greater cosmic story.
We reflect on the roles we inhabit, the masks we wear, and the moments of suffering that initiate us into deeper wisdom. From Shakespeare’s stage to the Hindu concept of lila (divine play), from Platonic philosophy to mystical Christianity and Sufi devotion, we trace a shared teaching: that consciousness takes form so that love may be known in experience.
This episode speaks to grief and beauty alike, reminding us that pain is not punishment, love is not accidental, and light requires form to recognize itself. We explore what it means to live fully in our human roles while remembering our deeper identity as luminous beings, points of awareness through which the divine experiences itself.

Why do certain images, stories, and figures keep returning, across centuries, cultures, and even card decks?
In this episode of The Intuitive Awakening Podcast, we explore archetypes not as abstract symbols, but as living patterns that shape human experience. Long before psychology gave them a name, archetypes were recognized in myth, ritual, and philosophy as forces that move through the soul and structure perception, behavior, and meaning. They are not characters we invent; they are patterns we recognize because we live inside them.
This conversation traces how archetypes appear in ancient myth and philosophy, how they were preserved visually and symbolically in the Tarot, and why these images continue to speak with such clarity today. We look at the Major Arcana not as fortune-telling devices, but as a symbolic map of human initiation, thresholds of identity, power, loss, choice, and transformation that every life encounters.
Rather than reducing archetypes to personality labels or aesthetic identities, this episode asks a deeper question: what happens when we don’t recognize the archetype we are living? When patterns remain unconscious, they rule us. When they are named, they become navigable.
We also explore why archetypal literacy matters in a time of fragmentation, how these ancient patterns help us make sense of inner conflict, cultural upheaval, and personal change without collapsing complexity into slogans or self-help formulas.
This episode is for listeners who sense that images still carry wisdom, that Tarot is more than prediction, and that myth remains one of humanity’s most precise languages for understanding the soul.

As we stand at the threshold of a new year, the heart begins to whisper its timeless truth, that even through endings, uncertainty, and loss, there is a light within us that never leaves. In this soul-nourishing episode, Deanna invites you into the mystical heart, a space where hope is not fragile or naive, but radiant and enduring.

Drawing from the ecstatic wisdom of Rumi, Hafiz, and the Sufi path of divine remembrance, this episode explores hope as a sacred act of remembering rather than wishing, a return to the light that has always lived within you. Through poetry, reflection, and spiritual insight, you’ll be guided to rediscover how love itself becomes both promise and path: the promise that no darkness can extinguish, and the path that leads us home to the Beloved within.

Together, we’ll explore:
 🌙 What Rumi and Hafiz teach about hope as divine intimacy rather than denial of pain.
 💫 How the mystics understood light as the very essence of being,  the soul’s own radiance.
 ❤️ Why love, compassion, and remembrance are revolutionary acts in times of despair.
 🔥 And how to enter the new year not through striving, but through surrender, to the divine current that has never stopped holding you.

With poetic readings, reflection prompts, and moments of contemplative pause, The Light That Never Leaves is an invitation to soften into grace, to breathe again, and to remember:
You are not seeking the light.
You are the light remembering itself.

In this reflective episode, I journey across time and consciousness to explore the evolution of humanity, Earth, and civilizations.

Part 1 – The Cycles of Civilization:

We examine the rise and fall of civilizations as cyclical patterns mirrored in human consciousness. Ancient cultures, from the Sumerians to the Greeks, understood that societies move through cycles of growth, decline, and renewal, a pattern that is deeply intertwined with spiritual evolution.

Part 2 – Myth, Cosmos, and Consciousness:

 We look at the ancient concepts of the Great Year (Plato’s Timaeus), the Yugas of India, and the Hero Twins of the Maya’s Popol Vuh, stories that encode the rhythm of collective human consciousness. Each cycle offers lessons for the next, and humanity’s evolution is a reflection of cosmic order.

Part 3 – The Turning of the Ages:

 Drawing on texts such as the Hermetic Asclepius (“All things flow in cycles; what rises must fall, and what falls must rise again”), we reflect on how each period of decline carries the seeds for transformation. Civilizations, like human consciousness, move through stages that invite growth, reflection, and renewal.

Part 4 – The Modern Threshold:

 We explore the present era as a unique turning point. With technological advancement and global connectivity, humanity faces a spiritual threshold. Ancient wisdom, including the Upanishads and the Hermetic principle of “as above, so below,” guides us to recognize our role as conscious participants in shaping society and Earth.

Part 5 – Humanity’s Next Chapter:

 Finally, we envision the next chapter of human evolution. Quoting the Emerald Tablet: “That which is below is like that which is above, to accomplish the wonders of the One Thing,” we see that consciousness itself is our creative force. By aligning with the cycles, remembering our inherent wisdom, and participating consciously, we can step into a new era of awakening and balance.

This episode blends myth, history, and spirituality to offer both reflection and practical insight. Enjoy!
