About The Author

Duane Borsa

Duane Borsa spent his childhood in Mississauga, Ontario, in a close-knit community shaped by Catholic faith and family togetherness. His parents modeled a strong, committed relationship that Duane internalized as his ideal. He excelled in sports, pursued creative interests, and maintained deep friendships. When his family moved to Mission, British Columbia, during his teenage years, Duane continued thriving. Teams, friends, and opportunities surrounded him. By external measures, his early life was filled with light.

But internal reality diverged from external appearance. As Duane moved through his twenties and thirties, his own choices led him through profound suffering. He experienced multiple broken marriages. Each relationship ended in heartbreak, yet he remained a hopeless romantic, convinced that the next one would finally be different, giving everything to each new person only to watch the relationship collapse. Alongside the relational devastation came addiction battles that felt impossible to win. Pornography, cocaine, and sexual bondage consumed increasing amounts of his energy and attention. Suicidal ideation visited him regularly, sometimes mildly as a passing thought and sometimes with such intensity that he found himself at the edge of actually doing it.

What kept him alive during those darkest moments was a persistent voice reminding him that others would suffer profoundly if he were gone. That small internal witness prevented him from ending his life multiple times when everything else felt lost. It wasn’t hope exactly. It was a sense of responsibility to people he loved, a recognition that his death would damage others who depended on him, even if only emotionally.

In early 2025, Duane decided to leave his old life behind completely. He moved from Vancouver to Quesnel, British Columbia, a quiet country town where he could start fresh without the triggers and patterns that had consumed him. There, he began genuine spiritual work for the first time. Not the religion of his childhood, but a direct connection to what he calls the Source, God, or Creator energy. He stepped away from traditional employment and organized religion, choosing instead to help his community directly and work on spiritual practice and manifestation.

Through this work, Duane experienced the transformation he documents in his book. He learned to process trauma, release addiction, and reconnect with spiritual realities that had always existed but remained hidden beneath layers of pain and distraction. He discovered that the beings he encountered during spiritual experiences were real, and that his expanded consciousness was revealing truths about existence that contradicted mainstream narratives about what is possible.

At fifty-five years old, Duane is living what he describes as his happiest chapter. He owns a few material possessions. His spiritual wealth has grown exponentially. His daily life is marked by gratitude, community service done on his own terms, and direct engagement with Source. He wrote ‘Cosmic Awakening’ because he felt a clear calling to share this testimony. God made it clear to him that others struggling with the same addictions, heartbreak, and suicidal thoughts needed to know that recovery is possible, that there is genuinely a path back to wholeness, and that the universe is far more supportive and alive than most people have been taught to believe.
