Introduction
I am David Lacopo, a humble guide and founder of the Golden Light Academy (https://goldenlightacademy.com/). My life’s work has been dedicated to the exploration of consciousness, the pursuit of enlightenment, and service to humanity. My journey has been a tapestry woven with experiences of both profound light and impenetrable darkness. It is through this vast spectrum that I’ve come to understand awakening not as a sudden revelation, but as a gradual unfolding born from struggle, crowned with divine illumination. I offer you a glimpse into my sacred path a journey from despair to transcendence, and a beacon for those seeking their own light.
The Turning Points
From a young age, my life was touched by forces unseen. At nine years old, I experienced my first Dark Night of the Soul. Night after night, I found myself suspended alone in the vast void of space, gazing upon Earth from a distance, overwhelmed by the terrifying concept of eternal nothingness. The emptiness stripped me bare, until, at the end of that harrowing week, an angel appeared radiant and compassionate lowering a sphere of divine light onto my head and filling me with profound knowledge and peace.
Life, however, had more lessons to impart. In my late teenage years, my path took a turn, because it was necessary for me to experience darkness fully, to gain a complete understanding of both light and shadow. For fifteen years, I endured profound darkness. Demonic presences, emotional torments, and relentless fear became my companions. Depression and anxiety consumed me; my state of consciousness fell into what felt like a bottomless pit, mimicking death itself.
Yet, these experiences were sacred initiations. They refined me. The turning point did not come from the outside, it emerged from within. I realized that if consciousness could fall, it could also rise. Studying the Holy Bible filled me with divine love and empowered me to face and overcome the darkness that had long tormented me. It was through these sacred scriptures that I found the strength to break free and reawaken my connection to my Higher Self, whom I know as Achquelin, guiding me back into the light.
A Core Teaching or Experience
One of the most transformative realizations I’ve carried forward is this: Our state of consciousness is the gateway to all experience. We are not prisoners of fate. We are sculptors of our own journey. Darkness thrives on fear, dragging our consciousness lower; but light nourishes the soul, lifting us toward enlightenment.
I found in the Tarot a sacred mirror not for divination, but for self-discovery and spiritual growth. Each Major Arcana card holds a divine energy, a key step in the evolution of consciousness. Through daily contemplation, I did not merely study these energies, I embodied them.
This teaching informs how I live and how I serve. My Life Purpose Force is IV The Emperor a divine calling to serve faithfully, to act with righteousness, and to remain open to divine downloads that illuminate my path. Every challenge, every joy is filtered through this lens: is this lowering my consciousness or raising it? Is it leading me toward unity or separation?
Meditation is also foundational to my practice, especially active techniques like the Golden Light Visualization. Meditation is not a retreat but a sacred engagement. It is where the mind’s chaos stills, and the soul’s whisper can be heard. I teach others not merely to meditate but to contemplate to engage consciously with the divine energies in their lives, to move beyond knowledge into wisdom.
Reflections on Service and Collective Awakening
Service is not a burden; it is a natural unfolding once the soul awakens. When the illusion of separation dissolves, what remains is pure love, unconditional, radiant & eternal. I believe humanity stands at the edge of a great awakening, a shift from a consciousness dominated by fear to one illuminated by unity and compassion.
But this awakening is not inevitable. It requires the courageous act of turning inward, confronting one’s own shadows, and ascending through the divine energies that shape our reality. Each individual who raises their consciousness uplifts the whole of humanity. Each act of love, each moment of mindfulness sends ripples through the collective.
I guide my students to recognize that they are not bystanders. They are active co-creators of this awakening. Through meditation, contemplation, and daily dedication to personal growth, each soul becomes a lighthouse in the storm.
Conclusion
If there is one principle that I hold closest to my heart, it is this: All that we are is a channel of love. No darkness is too deep; no soul is too lost. Every moment is an invitation to rise, to awaken, to serve.
I offer this message of hope: trust your journey, even when it winds through shadows. It is in the struggle that the soul’s light is refined and prepared for its highest purpose.
I am filled with gratitude for the path that has unfolded before me and for every soul who has joined me along the way. The road ahead is long and winding, but with love as our guide, we will surely reach the summit.

A Meditation for the Path Ahead
Close your eyes.
Breathe in the silence.
Within the silence, hear the whisper of your soul.
Within the whisper, feel the pulse of the universe.
And within the pulse, know that you are never alone.
You are the light, and the light is you.
Walk forward, with love.
