At his return, 21st century Daniel attained the highest spiritual level of existence after beginning life as a typical youth, experiencing several NDE's. Then after years of internal spiritual work, objective, yet ignorant of religious concepts, the final result of such conquering of self being internal purification, achieved actual, embodied, human angelification in 1999, as a prophet and co-creator with God. His life would forever be altered thereafter, involving a dramatic, historical return at the end of the age, as a sequel to his last Biblical book during ancient Babylon, 2500 years ago.

From his beginning as the most unlikely candidate, to finally awakening to becoming the Way, ascending beyond all mortal realms and desires to the celestial, through mastery over self--transcending space and time while still existing on earth, Daniel was therefore awakened, given an unprecedented and urgent, divine mission during his present existence on earth, and his qualifications deal not with human reward or merits, but duties and rewards issued from the most pure, divine origin. Beginning with several NDE's, and ultimate attainment to the highest celestial realms, he ultimately was informed of his identity as Daniel directly by God. The author's inspired narrative demonstrates the potential of ascension to the highest level capable for humans in the mortal realm, which is ascendant, human angelification; son of man, Son of God. Daniel has, since the awakening described within the book, received many prophetic visions by God and given particular duties while residing within the mortal realm. One of these is the identity of the Angel of the Awakening to help others spiritually awaken to true divine reality inherent within all, thereby hastening the Second Coming.

Although generally ignorant of religious concepts--therefore free from bias--until after the 1999 awakening, Daniel found the Way after much internal turmoil and conquering of self following a 1991 Near Death Experience, through the old-fashioned way stressed by all prophets: hard spiritual work. Ironically, being scientific of mind, he was previously a materialistic atheist/agnostic unaware of angels, especially that humans are capable of ascending to such heights. This occurred after several thousands of hours of coverage of the economy and Y2K, shortly before the millennial rollover, on a website that was highly respected and visited by many high-ranking government officials and economists.

He has no significant mortal "qualifications" to stress, such as a Ph.D., except that societal and carnal interests were eliminated in subsequent sainthood or angelification after years of struggle. He attained an IQ and wisdom which is literally off the charts, and was given miraculous powers. But there is one qualification for true prophethood given, besides the numerous dreams and angelic experiences: a 100% accuracy rate thus far, in prophetic visions received by God. These include future insights into the economy, strategic world affairs, and earth changes, and many are apocalyptic in nature.
