This week Tony Macasaet and myself, William Kyle Glenn, circle back to our “to be continued” discussion on the 6 steps of spiritual awakening.
Focusing on Step 4: The Void & Step 5: Groundedness
The Void is the cocoon stage of your awakening….the “great rest”.
This is an in between time…no mans land…caught in the middle of your old life and the new.
All the doors start closing off to what you once were yet what you are to become needs a little more time to gestate….a little more time to manifest and morph into reality…
Typically, any suffering that occurs here is in direct relation to ones ill advised attempts to “claw themselves out” of the void or return to who they once were…
There is no going back at this point…(can a butterfly become a caterpillar again once in the cocoon?)
The potential is high at this point of your development to feel “lost” or “confused” but rest assured and have faith in the knowledge that this phase will soon come to pass as you merge into a greater version of yourself…
and start to ground it in!
Groundedness is when you return the “real” world.
You finally start to walk the talk, sink your roots deep, and build a strong, stable, nurturing foundation for this new balanced and awakened you.
In a sense, you have now entered a more mature/“adult” phase of your awakening here.
You are more realistic, more practical, and are able to integrate most of the wonderful lessons of the previous stages into your life in a tangible way.
Most importantly, this is the stage when all that peace and joy finally starts to seep back into your life!
But now it’s here to stay
There’s never been a more important time to become who you really are. Your true authentic self.
So join us today while we discuss these stages and how they played out in our own lives on our ever evolving journey back to ourselves (I’m still grounding today)

We'd love to hear from you!
“…I heard the first two episodes of “Conscious Bro” this weekend and I was blown away! Great show! Really fantastic. It’s exciting to hear two guys in Viroqua talking about the things I think about and read about everyday. Usually the only time I hear conversations like the ones on your show is when I listen to podcasts made in Los Angeles or some other far off place.”
“…wish you were on more frequently I messaged the station, but did not hear back. I truly believe it's a time sensitive message for some to hear about.”
“excellent show! so cheesed to hear you sharing your stories and gifts!!! u rock.”
“Hey guys. I just wanted to say great job on WDRT. Very cool. Made me think. Loved it! I hope you guys keep doing the show”
“Great first show! Really enjoyed it and learned a few things too. Can’t wait to tune into the next one.”
