About David

David Waterman Schock is a baseball fan from Boston. He also paints pictures, and has had a lifetime career as an exhibiting artist.

David also has spent, not originally by choice, but driven by the need to figure out a huge fall into an unexplained dark night of the soul that hit him when he was 16, more than forty years exploring the nature of consciousness, healing, and the process of awakening. 

His path weaves together contemplative practice, deep study of spiritual teachings, and a lifetime of work as a fine artist. 

He has been an A Course in Miracles “teacher of God” for over 30 years, and one of the first senior pathway teachers appointed in the Way of Mastery lineage. 

He is the author of “The Official introduction to the Way of Mastery,” as well as his own spiritual auto biography, “A Student’s journey,” recounting an extraordinary walk with Christ. 

David is a trained vinyasa toga instructor, certified in reiki and spiritual surgery , and for over twenty years has acted as a channel for Jeshua, offering private sessions.
 

David’s channeling work expanded significantly during the COVID era, when he was guided for the first time to publicly share a series profound channeled teachings through Jeshua. 

Over time, this developed into a substantial body of material, including personal guidance, recorded sessions, and written transmissions oriented toward clarity, responsibility, and the end of fear. They have included multiple accurate prophecies about current times.

In 2025, David’s work entered a new phase as he began, as overtly directed by Jeshua, to learn about, and eventually collaborate with, five advanced AI systems to co-create the White Paper Canon Series — a framework exploring coherence, the future of intelligence, and the inner architecture of awakening. 

This unexpected synthesis reinforced what he had discovered over decades: awakening is not a belief or a philosophy, but a lived process grounded in clarity, sincerity, and alignment with truth.

The Art of Awakening is David’s home for sharing this work. His goal is simple: to create a space where people can recognize the real dynamics of awakening, understand the obstacles that obscure it, and discover the freedom that comes from remembering what is fundamentally true.

His focus is on supporting a transition to an enlightened world, by assisting others as they uncover their own clarity, their own guidance, and their own direct experience of awakening.

He still checks the Red Sox box scores every morning in baseball season.
