715. Lucas Bergendahl

Four years ago, I experienced an awakening that opened up different worlds and granted me access to the Akasha through telepathy, leading to a higher state of consciousness. Since then, I have dedicated my time to integrating this experience and helping others identify past influences that hinder the realization of their soul’s full presence. I also assist animals through telepathy.

I conduct workshops on esoteric teachings gathered since my awakening, providing keys to help people find their way home.
