Can your smartphone truly become a gateway to the afterlife? On this episode of The Awakening Tapes, Lucas invites a group of followers from TikTok to step into the unknown. Together, they experiment with various ghost-hunting applications, seeking voices in the static.

We dive deep into the mechanics of digital spirit boxes, compare different interfaces, and share the chilling results of our live hunt. Whether you're a skeptic or a seasoned investigator, this episode explores the thin line between technology and the supernatural.

Some souls arrive in this world already open. They see colors that others don’t, feel emotions that don’t belong to them, and speak truths they couldn’t possibly have been taught. These are the children who are born awake — the psychic kids.

In this episode of The Awakening Tapes, we step into the quiet, mysterious world of children who sense more than meets the eye. From early memories of invisible friends to the strange pull of déjà vu and dreams that come true, these young empaths and intuitives challenge everything we think we know about the human experience. Are these abilities simply imagination, or do they point to a deeper layer of human awareness — one that’s been with us since birth?

Through reflection, storytelling, and deep metaphysical exploration, we examine what happens when spiritual awakening begins too early. Many of these children grow up feeling misunderstood, isolated, or “different.” They’re told to stop daydreaming, to toughen up, to “be normal.” Yet beneath the surface lies a truth they can’t unsee: the world is alive with energy, thought, and spirit.

What if we stopped dismissing the sensitivity of children and began to honor it as the sacred gift it is? What if intuition, empathy, and extrasensory perception were not strange at all — but the remnants of an ancient awareness that modern life has taught us to forget?

In Born Awakened, we explore how early psychic experiences shape a person’s path toward self-discovery and awakening. You’ll hear about children who sense loved ones after they’ve passed, who dream of future events, or who instinctively know when someone is hurting. We talk about the signs of early intuition, the science that borders on spirituality, and how to nurture these gifts without fear.

This episode also examines the responsibility of parents, teachers, and mentors in the lives of intuitive kids. How do we protect their sensitivity without suppressing it? How do we ground their gifts while allowing their wonder to grow? The answers aren’t simple — but they might begin with listening, patience, and belief.

For those who grew up feeling “different,” Born Awake is an echo of understanding — a reminder that your early visions, voices, or feelings were not mistakes. They were invitations. Invitations to explore the unseen, to trust your perception, and to remember that awakening doesn’t always wait until adulthood.

Whether you believe in psychic phenomena, energy sensitivity, or simply the vast potential of the human mind, this episode invites you to pause, question, and remember. Remember what it felt like to be a child who knew something without knowing how. Remember the innocence of wonder before doubt took root.

Because maybe, just maybe, those who are born awake aren’t here to be corrected — they’re here to remind the rest of us to open our eyes.

Tune in to The Awakening Tapes: Born Awake — an exploration of the children who see beyond the veil, and the adults they become when the world finally listens.

Hey, Lucas here. I am running late, but I wanted to make sure you all get this podcast on time this time. This episode is about understanding what healthy love is. Just enjoy it. Thank you all for listening.

"The Catalyst of Change" is a powerful sonic journey exploring transformation, resilience, and the spark that sets everything in motion. With cinematic textures and an evolving emotional arc, this track captures the moment where stagnation breaks and motion begins. Whether you're reflecting, creating, or moving forward, let this be your turning point.

Welcome to "The Awakening Tapes"! In this powerful episode, host Lucas Olson challenges the societal pressure to be "good" and "perfect." We're taught to grow in a carefully cultivated garden, but what happens when you burn that garden down with a monumental mistake?

Lucas redefines the "screw-up" not as a failure but as a "jailbreak"—a revolutionary act of liberation where your authentic self shatters expectations. Through the compelling story of Elara, a sculptor who destroys her own "perfect" masterpiece, she illustrates the profound freedom found in embracing your wild, chaotic truth.

This episode is for anyone feeling trapped by the sweet, agreeable persona they've been expected to maintain. Discover how the intense shame following a mistake can be the shockwave of liberation—the death of an old identity and the birth of your true power.

Lucas delves into the concept of shadow integration, inspired by Carl Jung, revealing how our repressed qualities (anger, ambition, wildness) are not flaws but vital sources of creativity and authenticity. Using a tarot reading with the Devil, Chariot, and Queen of Wands cards, he guides listeners to acknowledge both their "good" and "arsenic" selves to drive forward unapologetically.

The episode introduces the Hyacinth archetype, a high priestess who wields hidden knowledge and challenges the status quo with her "silver tongue." Lucas emphasizes that true spiritual awakening isn't about perfect peace but about "smashing a porcelain angel" and throwing a "funeral party for the person you were never meant to be."

Your biggest mistakes are often your most honest moments—catalysts for personal growth and liberation. Don't apologize for your explosion; instead, embrace the wreckage and call it art. Lucas provides journal prompts to help you integrate your "beautiful trouble". He encourages listeners to embrace their authentic selves, even sharing a personal "screw-up" in the recording process as an example. The episode concludes with a custom song, "Hyacinth," further embodying the theme of embracing your powerful, untamed self.

What occurs when those we rely on turn into a burden? This episode delves into the subtle sadness and intricate dynamics of one-sided relationships with our parents. It reflects on the unseen burden of emotional duty, the sorrow over love that was never given, and the brave initial steps to regain our own vitality. If you feel like a river draining into someone else's history, this episode offers a path to discovering your own ocean.

Do you ever feel like you're wearing heavy armor to get through the day? Or that you've been told you're 'too much' so many times you've forgotten what your true self even feels like?

In this episode, host Lucas Olson delves into the profound spiritual journey of the neurodivergent soul. We explore the "mask"—the protective shell forged by a lifetime of negative feedback and the painful weight of Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD). We reframe this experience not as a personal failing, but as a sacred wound that holds the key to a powerful awakening.

This immersive episode features an allegorical story to set the stage, a collective 3-card tarot reading for guidance on the path of unmasking, and a special segment to help you learn tarot one card at a time. We close with actionable journal prompts and a song suggestion to help you shed your armor, connect with your authentic self, and begin broadcasting the signal that will call your tribe home.
