Famous People Who Know What Being Awakened Is All About

What does it mean to be "Awakened"? You might have come across this term every now and then, and perhaps wondered what these people were even talking about. Not to be confused with "New Age Religion", being awakened dives deeper into the spiritual aspects of who and what we are. There is a door that is slightly ajar, waiting for you to discover what lies beyond.  There is so much more than just being religious, because often times it is Religion itself that creates division among the people. Being "awakened" has been taught by the Buddha, by Christ, by prophets and philosophers of old times. To be "awake" simply means you have been enlightened into understanding the need for compassion, humility and love towards everything and anything.. To finally "See" simply means you understand of the world within you and around you, leaving behind the egocentric self that drives greed, selfishness and envy. Being awakened and with a spiritual understanding embraces all religions, all cultural differences.

There is a huge awakening movement happening all over the world, and at a faster pace now than ever before. Thanks to the wonderful world of the web, information has never been accessible at such lightning speed as it is now. We have this drive to do our own research into learning new things about One Consciousness. The growth of technology has, quite interestingly, also led many people back to the appreciation of what mother nature can give, making people more interested in organic food and natural health remedies. There is something deep within you that calls out, wanting to reach out and find self-worth and self-love. 

Unfortunately, not many voice out the curiosity and the sharing of what being awakened is. Many still find it difficult to talk about it with others, in fear of being ridiculed and casted as a crazy person. But you'll be surprised at how many others are just like you, in that same state of mind. 

These famous people, that we've listed below, have revealed themselves as being Consciously Awakened. They push aside ridicule and criticism because they firmly believe in their spiritual journey, their thoughts of what the world's governments are doing (and not doing) for their people, and the big change we all need to do and start within ourselves. That we are all part of a grand scheme of things, all inter-connected and all One. That the reality we live in is a reflection of our spirit, our souls, and that we are on a journey to experience Life, be it good or bad. We are part of this One Source that has no name, no hierarchy, no discrimination. That the world we live in are like mirrored layers of mysterious and unexplainable connections to what is inside us, and what is out there.

As above, so below.

Be inspired and learn what there is to know about being Awakened through these famous people.

RUSSELL BRAND

Having become famous for his crazy antics and wild eyes, this comedian-host-turned-actor is now voicing out his stand on this Consciousness Revolution. Having experienced so much self-inflicting abuse, like alcohol and drug problems, there was a point in his life where he did a complete turnaround, leaving behind the kind of dangerous lifestyle a celebrity could go through. He is now an advocate for helping others in getting the correct and proper treatment of drug and alcohol rehabilitation and is not afraid of what he thinks about governments and politics. Hearing all the things he has to say, you'll realize that this amazing human being talks so much intellectual sense about his views on religion, spirituality, about who we are and the difference between relaying on the materialistic, physical senses compared to Consciousness as a whole.  

JIM CARREY

One of our generation's funniest men, it would come as quite a surprise to those who would recently discover that he spoke of Consciousness and Spirituality, and of what it feels like to be awakened. He was also very active in this anti-vaccine campaign. Carey speaks of unknowingly being on a spiritual journey, of finding ones self even when he was a kid.

BILLY CORGAN

Lead vocalist of the Smashing Pumpkins has been voicing out his opinions about politics and the noticeable spiritual awakening that's happening all around the world. You can hear the deep understanding he has of what it means to be awakened in one of his interviews, and how society is being brainwashed into believing that material social status need is more important than feeding our spirit with love and compassion for others.

JOE ROGAN

Stand-up comedian, actor, host and UFC commentator, one wouldn't have imagined his dedication and enthusiasm of what he has learned from his awakening experiences. He hosts a podcast show called "The Joe Rogan Experience" where they talk about mysteries of the world, politics, changes we need to do for ourselves and for the betterment of others. He's a perfect example of an individual who has an open mind and clearly shows this no matter who he is or what he does.

SHIRLEY MACLAINE

This iconic actress began to voice out her thoughts of spirituality, of aliens and of being in contact with otherworldly beings in a transcendental sense. Her books, Out on a Limb and The Camino, engages viewers into her personal experiences that led her from living the Hollywood lifestyle to the humbling aspects and practices of spirituality, which every human being should get to discover and understand and reflect upon. She tells of a journey of how she came to find herself and the questions of the why's of being "contacted" and who she is now because of all those experiences.

Celebrities who are into Music and Sound Therapy

Here's a list of famous people who use and are great supporters to Music Therapy!

Ben Folds, the musician behind Ben Folds Five, is a member of the distinguished Artist Committee for Americans for The Arts, Folds is a leading outspoken advocate for music therapy and music education, and recently participated in a special conference at Sundance Resort that explored how music and art therapy can help a nation’s military veterans.

Joey Fatone of N'SYNC established the The Fatone Family Foundation, which uses a Healing Harmony Music Therapy Program that is making a difference in the lives of the patients at the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, Florida.

Mickey Hart, the former drummer for the Grateful Dead, has connected with the American Music Therapy Association in the past. In fact, in the film “The Music Never Stopped,” the Grateful Dead played an important role in the plot surrounding the main character.

Did you know that he had an album collaboration with the Universe? (*wink)

His new album, called "Mysterium Tremendum" explores the cosmic sounds of the universe, using electromagnetic radiation from other planets and stars, and made them audible through the process of sonification.

Do you have tinnitus? Apparently, these famous people do! 

Did you know that Barbra Streisand suffers from tinnitus? And that Beethoven had also heard these constant whistles and buzz noises all throughout his life? Even Will.i.am. hears beeping sounds everyday, which means he has never really heard utter silence.

The effects of having tinnitus can actually affect a person's behavior and personality. Beethoven was known for his awful temperament, and Streisand has had her bouts of bad temper, blaming her tinnitus. Surprisingly, tinnitus can lead to depression, and the causes have been linked to thyroid conditions, tumors and anemia.

There is such a thing as Tinnitus Retraining Therapy, or TRT, which is similar to behavioral therapy but involves more relaxation techniques. TRT also uses counseling and sound therapy to help in the coping process. It doesn't necessarily mean that these are cures to the condition, but these types of therapies aim to help the individual become less focused on the ringing that they hear, creating a good distraction.

Other alternatives to helping people cope with tinnitus is listening to white noise or the soothing sounds of rain or the crashing of waves upon the shore. 

So what is Music Therapy?

Music Therapy is an established healthcare profession that uses music to address physical, emotional, cognitive, social and spiritual needs of individuals of all ages. Music therapy improves the quality of life for persons who are well and meets the needs of children and adults with disabilities or illnesses.

Music therapy is an allied health profession and one of the expressive therapies, consisting of a process in which a music therapist uses music and all of its facets—physical, emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual—to help clients improve their physical and mental health. Music therapists primarily help clients improve their health in several domains, such as cognitive functioning, motor skills, emotional development, social skills, and quality of life, by using music experiences such as free improvisation, singing, and listening to, discussing, and moving to music to achieve treatment goals. It has a wide qualitative and quantitative research literature base and incorporates clinical therapy, psychotherapy, biomusicology, musical acoustics, music theory, psychoacoustics, embodied music cognition, aesthetics of music, sensory integration, and comparative musicology. Referrals to music therapy services may be made by other health care professionals such as physicians, psychologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. Clients can also choose to pursue music therapy services without a referral (i.e., self-referral).

Music therapists are found in nearly every area of the helping professions. Some commonly found practices include developmental work (communication, motor skills, etc.) with individuals with special needs, songwriting and listening in reminiscence/orientation work with the elderly, processing and relaxation work, and rhythmic entrainment for physical rehabilitation in stroke victims. Music therapy is also used in some medical hospitals, cancer centers, schools, alcohol and drug recovery programs, psychiatric hospitals, and correctional facilities.

Famous People who Lucid Dream

We found an awesome list of celebrities and famous people who do Lucid Dreaming!

Nikola Tesla 

In the sphere of science, the dreaming mind of Nikola Tesla, one of the most fascinating scientists of the 20th century, was able to make entire prototype tests and designs of his inventions only using power of his mind, dreams and visualization. 

There are three moments in which he preceded the implementation of his achievements:

• Imagination
  In the book „My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla“, Tesla said about imagination and early impulses: „Our first endeavors are purely instinctive, promptings of an imagination vivid and undisciplined. Those early impulses, though not immediately productive, are of the greatest moment and may shape our very destinies. Indeed, I feel now that had I understood and cultivated instead of suppressing them, I would have added substantial value to my bequest to the world. But not until I had attained manhood did I realize that I was an inventor.“

• Visualization
  Tesla had strong power of visualization. His power of visualization was so brilliant that he could clearly see an object that even didn’t existed in the real world. He was able to make dream experiments in his mind.
• Visual thinking
  This thinking phenomenon describes thinking in visual mode. It is also called Right brained learning, Picture thinking, Visual spatial learning. Before Tesla inventions were born in the real world, he built in his mind all preliminary work, without drawings and physical prototypes tests. One of the rare scientist who was also visual thinker was Albert Einstein. Thanks to this method he created his Theory of special relativity.

He possessed some extraordinary mental characteristics: an acute sense of hearing, visualization skills so vivid as to mimic reality, and bizarre eccentricities of habit and behavior. His visualizations enabled him to conduct realistic "dream experiments" while he was wide-awake in the lab. As a result, it is very tempting to suggest that, in his virtual laboratory, Tesla functioned one level above the lucid dream state. He had the ability, while being both physically and mentally awake, to run complex visualizations internally with all the realism and automaticity of a lucid dream world.

Salvador Dali 


Have you seen his artworks? One can only fathom at the depths of this surrealist painter's lucid dream experiences which shows so evidently in his paintings. He apparently used dream incubation techniques to further enhance and program his dreams. He also delved, created and developed a method called "critical paranoia", which is a state of mind wherein one is in a state of delusion while maintaining his sanity. 

Crazy genius, I say.

See more of his famous paintings HERE.

Chris Nolan 

As the director of Memento and The Dark Knight, Chris Nolan mined his own lucid dreams to conceive Inception. 

"I wanted to do this for a very long time, it's something I've thought about off and on since I was about 16," he told The Los Angeles Times. "I wrote the first draft of this script seven or eight years ago, but it goes back much further, this idea of approaching dream and the dream life as another state of reality."Intriguingly, Inception's main character, Dom Cobb, is played by Hollywood celebrity Leonardo DiCaprio who also had lucid dreams before starring in the movie. The role of Cobb in the tangled dream-within-a-dream plot is to implant an idea in the unconscious mind of his victim. 

While the idea of shared dreaming currently resides in the land of science fiction, we can't escape the inherent truths of this movie: that the dream architects consciously manipulate the dreamscape with all the realism of waking life. Also like lucid dreams, however, the unconscious mind has its own agenda...

Stephen King


In his 1995 novel, Insomnia, Stephen King writes about lucid dreaming; about an insomniac who begins to see things that are invisible and intangible to others: colorful manifestations of life-force surrounding people (auras), and diminutive white-coated beings he calls "little bald doctors", based on their appearance and perceives other planes of reality and their influence upon the "real" world.  

Could this renown writer have pulled inspirations from dreams and lucid dreaming? 

“Dreams are just another part of life. To me, it’s like seeing something on the street you can use in your fiction.”

"I've always used dreams the way you'd use mirrors to look at something you couldn't see head-on, the way that you use a mirror to look at your hair in the back. To me that's what dreams are supposed to do. I think that dreams are a way that people's minds illustrate the nature of their problems. Or maybe even illustrate the answers to their problems in symbolic language."

The Wachowskis

Famous for the movie, The Matrix, Andy and Lana Washowski were inspired with the aspects and experiences of lucid dreaming and incorporated this concept on how one would know if this reality is merely an illusion or not, which is primarily the meaning of lucid dreaming.

Taking this and pulling ideas from different religions, beliefs and metaphysical awakenings, the sci-fi movie established itself into a single entity that webs out into a vast array of underlying messages.

Who are we? Why are we here? What is our purpose? Are we co-creators? Would you rather live in the matrix or wake up from it? 

Will you take the red pill or blue pill?

Albert Einstein
The genius of the modern world, Einstein had mused on the concept of his dream world. One of his most famous quotes deals with the condition of consciousness: "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."


His theory of relativity was inspired by a dream whereby he was going down a mountainside ever faster and watching the appearance of the stars change as he approached the speed of light.

"Einstein's Dreams" is a 1992 novel by Alan Lightman. It fictionalizes Albert Einstein as a young scientist who is troubled by dreams as he works on his theory of relativity in 1905. The book consists of 30 chapters, each exploring one dream about time that Einstein had during this period. The framework of the book consists of a prelude, three interludes, and an epilogue. Einstein's friend, Michele Besso, appears in these sections. Each dream involves a conception of time. Some scenarios may involve exaggerations of true phenomena related to relativity, and some may be entirely fantastical. The book demonstrates the relationship each human being has to time, and thus spiritually affirms Einstein's theory of relativity.

Which reminds me, I need to find a copy of that book.
