Humans Decoded Podcast

Awakening Isn’t Bliss — It’s the Death of “You” | Kiran Trace – Ep 121

November 13, 2025

What if spiritual awakening isn’t about becoming someone better — but realizing you were never separate to begin with? In this episode, Kiran Trace, Cami and Leela, dive deep into what it really means to awaken into your original nature. Beyond spiritual trends and the search for bliss, this is a raw look at the end of seeking — and the beginning of truth.

Discover how ego death, surrender, and embodied awareness open the doorway to real freedom. This isn’t a self-improvement path — it’s an unlearning.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✨ What “original nature” really means in awakening
✨ Why enlightenment is not what you think
✨ How to stop chasing awakening and start living it
✨ Signs you’re moving beyond the mind
✨ How surrender reveals your true essence
