It probably comes as no surprise when I say “you’re engaged in a constant conversation with the Universe”. Sure this isn’t news, but have you found a consistent way to read the signs? How often do you catch yourself thinking “I should have listened to my gut this time” in retrospect? Maybe you even feel disconnected from Divine Guidance or alone in the cosmic scheme of things? Did you know that’s also a ‘Dark night of the Soul’ symptom, especially when you have felt plugged in before? I’m guessing you’ve experienced synchronicities like the repeating number phenomenon, or just happening to think about a friend, only for them to call moments later. Let’s talk about honing in on that, and importantly – taking action.

Back to the opening of this hopefully thought provoking little read, maybe all of that ‘sign stuff’ is old hat for you. If you’re drawn to a post like this, perhaps you lean closer to the group that’s not really sure about this ‘ Universe language’ yet, or have fallen into the rabbit holes of ‘why do I always see 11:11?’ and ‘is this really happening’. Numbers do mean something, just for the record and angel numbers are a thing but it can get a bit much, especially when you start realising the frequency of communication. If that’s not you, and you’ve moved through that – fantastic, now spare a thought for those a little over their head with this experience…especially right now.

Sure, that can be a part of the honeymoon stage of this spiritual evolutionary step but it can also reach overload status, bonus points for a splash of ‘officially freaking out‘ because now they’re so full on and melted into every interaction. Personal experience level aside, the bare roots of this post is that the signs are everywhere. In fact, this very post started because of a sign I got!

To backtrack slightly, I’ve mentioned that Awakened Power has been a few years in the making. To me, it’s a mini entity on it’s own and one I don’t think will ever stop evolving. It grows as we do and will outlast me. You may know by now, if you’ve been following the journey online – Awakened Power has been partially active on the socials for a while but this website is the next stage to it’s online development. The conception of this project came to me after I experienced my own spiritual awakening in quite a scary, unprepared, and reality-shattering manner which in hindsight of course I’m insanely grateful for every moment. At the time though, WOW it was dark! Back then, I had already started toying with this concept that includes podcasts and fronting that scary, judgy camera and lots of *shutters* self-focused marketing because of visions I was constantly being presented with that defied my personal inclinations and made no sense. The signs were smacking me from every angle.

Before, I had just accepted this stuff as a part of life, I’ve never known different just like intense, prophetic dreams and activated Clairsenses. I used to think everybody operated like this. It was a way of being I didn’t think about operating somewhat in the background, though always getting my attention when needed. I have spent my life dedicated to the Occult Arts but I didn’t understand just how intricate, consistent and powerful the Universal Language is, that ‘light-codes’ existed beyond internet buss terminology, how ever available our spiritual support teams are and how serious it can get, Astral-dimensional-repercussions speaking – when you start cracking the code and having an undeniable impact; more on that later.

The problem was, I didn’t think I was ready to take action on Awakened Power, in this example. I tried to put failing brakes on this steam-train that was being gifted to me for a few years. The signs had to become larger and more obvious, not because I wasn’t receiving them but because I wasn’t taking aligned action. I should have learned from years of mystical schooling and Divine intervention that the Universe demands to be heard, but I’ve always liked a little resistance, apparently. This makes so much more sense knowing I am a 1-3 line in my body graph and there’s some human design side conversations to come in the future. I will say, your level of resistance will directly correlate with the severity of lessons you need, something you’ll hear me say repeatedly. Something your biological system, and/or the Universe has probably tried to show you too – are you ready to listen though?

I needed distance and time to allow the spiritual wildfire to combust under me. That got turned up even more, when I watched a close family member also go through an extremely dark awakening. Experiencing it myself wasn’t enough. Yes, it flipped my world on it’s head but my backstory and the way I’m wired made me take a very internal process of just getting through it. Logic defying mystical experiences were my reality of course, why would I not ride this one out too? When I saw the devastating effects of someone I love, facing that battle alone but surrounded by people – myself included, I realised just how unprepared our society is to ‘handle’ a spiritual emergency. Not to mention the many things that can go horribly astray during that process.

I understood first hand this including being deemed as crazy because we are in a system that was literally created to support this disgusting programming, the systematic hijacking and spiritual warfare that needs to be royally demolished. The false matrix and spiritual awakenings just do not mix! There is a brewing tangent we’ll sidestep for now – deep breath Carlie. Luckily, plugging fully back into the Divine Matrix, showed me there was a way around this – and quite literally, with persistent visions and intense downloads.

Disclaimer on this though, we need a little fine-tuning on terminology because ‘guidance’ is too broad and not always in your best interest. Universal or higher-wisdom type guidance is ALWAYS there for you and is what this post is about. There are also signs and guidance that come from a connection to your higher self and is felt internally, this is normally called body or inner wisdom. Another guidance to become aware of is seemingly well meaning but with non-constructive and derailing outcomes, we’ll call it ‘distraction infiltration’ and that too is from external sources. This is almost always a sign of coming under the influence of the False Light, and driven by specific higher dimensional entities (remember, higher doesn’t mean ‘better than‘) that use physical vessels to deliver their goals. At first, it can be nearly impossible to understand the difference.

We’ll split hairs on this another time, but let’s touch on the first two types. Divine guidance normally feels really good, like you’re being cosmically held and supported. There are clauses to this but that’s a topic for later too. Inner wisdom can feel more protective, there are definitely positive feel-good aspects also but most people don’t notice them. We all however know what a gut feeling is, even if we ignore it at first. This is your intuition and is the conversation happening between you and your higher self, translated through signals in your biological system. If you ignore this inner wisdom, it will dial down in subtly of signals, but the energy will still go somewhere and this is when physical manifestations such as stomach ulcers and attention grabbing back pain exists to get your attention instead.

Needless to say, that’s all pretty deep content deserving of its own post, or several, later. The point is I have personal intense experiences-turned-motivators and a lot of Divine Guidance that brought me to the path of Awakened Power. It never goes away, always invading my thoughts, thankfully but whenever I return to actively working on it behind the scenes, stuff gets a little …weird, freaky, perfectly nonsensical by societies standards and always in such magickal ways.

Signs are here , mostly to push us in the right direction of alignment with our souls purpose, but they can be disguised. This is true for my latest attempts that have been ramping up towards the last stage of this year. I normally find at these times, as I start making measurable progress on the planning, business aspects and ‘witchy-stuff’ – something seemingly not so positive happens. I say seemingly, because this is often in the form of spiritual awakening or emergency symptoms that causes server physical or emotional suffering to someone I care deeply for; as is the case once again. It always feels like a Cosmic, ‘move-it-along, NOW’ and I am propelled forward.

Why do I share this? Sometimes, the signs are disguised in ways that could distract you on a surface level and cause you to slip back ‘into the feels’ but that’s not the intention. We need to be able to develop enough spiritual discernment to see them for what they are and turn pain into purpose, again in this example. It’s not always a repetitive numbers, a lot of the time, your signs will come through those you love because there is already an energetic bond and easier level of receptivity established. Kind of like the Universe saying “Well, if you don’t want to listen to me – listen to this one“. Us humans, thinking we know best and our emotions, right? It can be hard to see bigger picture thinking when you are in the thick of situations, so don’t judge yourself when you realise signs you’ve missed – that’s part of your training too.

For me, this does always inspire me to basically pull my finger out and start sharing content that is going to help others navigate through their own inner journey. To energetically give some support so they don’t have to deal with the blowout. I too, also have to take a big, deep light worker/shadow soldier breath (SS4L, and if you get the reference, we NEED to be friends, stat!) and know that in the bigger scheme of things, their higher selves chose this path too. Even if it was a trial by fire path, everything happens as it’s meant to, although the free will piece complicates it – what is meant to be can only be delayed not destroyed.

It doesn’t make it not suck a bit though, relieved only somewhat when it’s involving someone you can at least talk about this side of things. Horrible when it’s someone so closed to the deeper currents, caught up in logical reasoning for things that even hinting at this topic would invoke such cognitive dissonance it would nearly outweigh said ‘suckiness‘ or sadly and hopefully only temporarily, terminate contact because you’ve just become officially a little too out of touch in their eyes. But even that would be part of their planned path, so sometimes, you need to be the messenger regardless – just protect your energies my little light worker, don’t get bogged down!

For me, this time felt very different, though. This time I instinctively knew ‘now is the time‘. With spontaneous channeled messages coming through, the urgency was loud and clear. This will happen, you’ll only get subtle hints for so long before ‘shit gets real’, as they say. I’d already had some big spiritual breakthroughs recently, and when I noticed the next wave of symptoms manifesting in a loved ones and collectively, the next part of a ritual came to me that has been in the making since the conception of this project. Like a movie from the astral planes, it played out in an instant in front of me, like many ‘downloads’ do, like the “logo” for the Awakened Power. For it is not a really logo at all but a spell in it’s own right, sealed into a symbol, an energy form that will perpetually grow in power and reach. I realise that is not something I have publicly delved into just yet, and for good reason. It’s now 99% ready to enter the next stage, and the final pieces fell into place with the catalyst of an external need for it. Needless to say this Witch has been busier working with various energies than I thought I’d need to be for a while – and damn it feels invigorating! 2025 is going to be a crazy one, who’s with me?

What does this all have to do with listening to signs from the Universe? I want to help you develop your own language to communicate consciously with the same Divine energy that flows through us all and demonstrate this by example. I want to help you identify the signs that are already being given to you multiple times a day. Everyone will have their own flavor of this, BUT tuning in is the important part. Sometimes it’s just hearing the right sentence from somebody at the right time that acts as a cosmic key and activates abilities to perceive a reality beyond most beings’ current comprehension . That’s the design of this game, it’s really beautiful and intricate when you think about it – allowing space for discovery and curiosity.

When you tune in properly, expect two things to become obvious. Firstly, you’ve had signs in the form of people, conversations, scenarios, things in the natural world, and ‘ahaa moments’ your whole life. Read that sentence again! When you start to see them for what they are or have always been, expect periodic floods of little flashbacks that will make you shake your head, if not even audibly laugh at how obvious they are/were. You will be frustrated at things that ‘slipped past you’. You’ll feel like you’ve been let in on a secret in joke. Let the Universe have it’s fun and ‘told you so’ moment. This will settle, somewhat – or perhaps you just adjust better. Secondly, it is like the Universe does a little happy dance to the tune of “OMG, they FINALLY get it” and gets a little overexcited that the communication channels are open.

If you are actively on your spiritual awakening path, then this can lead you into what is affectionately known as the honeymoon phase. If you reach this phase, you’ll likely feel like you’re in a beautiful but somewhat weird, dreamlike daze. You’ll see the world with a whole new perspective, and the connectedness of everything becomes hilariously obvious. Things may even start to seem a bit unreal (there might be a good reason for that), and everything you thought you knew, gets flipped upside down. You may receive a download, or many, of innovative, creative, or drastically revealing thought-forms. And from personal experience, these are NOT things to ignore.

Honour these new found gifts and embrace being a channel to divine information. Never forget the action part though, aligned action! Some people go their whole lives actively seeking such experiences, don’t dishonour them by not following through! When you learn to tune into this, you have a responsibility to show gratitude for the information you receive through action, like building or sharing. The scope of audience will vary for everyone, perhaps you are meant to encourage your family with some ‘soft-tips’ on conscious choices; or you’re drawn to reach as far as possible with your words and visions before you get another Universal-push-along, OK that time I was talking to me!

What was that sign that started this post? Well I had been busy on my behind the scenes Awakened Power work again when I had the sudden thought to open the planning document for this project that I started a few years back. Amongst that was links to a temporary site so I could start ‘sand-boxing’ my ideas but I had honestly forgotten I had even set it up.

Yay past me and in a face palming moment, I opened this site and was taken to the dashboard showing my one and only post so far, dated 1 year ago exactly. This is not the first instance of that on this particular leg of my journey (I’ll share another story inline with that soon, some Goddesses are so calculatedly persistent, I love it!) but to drive it home a little deeper, it was also exactly the same time – to the minute – as my previous published year old post, 2:10am…and I am hearing you, Universe – loud and clear.

I’ll end this by saying it is possible to consciously fine-tune your own unique language with the Universe and I want to help you do that but it’s also really important to act and acknowledge the beautiful gifts you are given. So my final words are that of gratitude. Sometimes I’m still caught off guard and taken back by the immensity of blessings we get when we are open to receiving them. I know I’m on the right path and I’m thankful beyond words for every moment like this discovery that makes me stop and go “WOW”.

When was your last moment like this? I’d love to hear about it…drop me a line or leave a comment on this post.

Blessed Be xo
