On a Mission to Awaken Five Million Starseeds in Five Years – An Interview with Lily Li

What if the very language of your soul was waiting to be remembered—and speaking it could unlock healing, purpose, and a sense of home beyond this world?

For Lily Li, the discovery of light language wasn’t the result of years of practice but a sudden activation that revealed her true calling. From childhood curiosities about the mystical to the grief of losing her parents, her journey has been one of remembrance—realizing we are far more than human.

As the founder of Quantum Light Language Academy, Lily blends sound, vibration, and quantum energy to clear trauma, awaken innate abilities, and reconnect people with Source. With her 48-volume Dragon Activation series, light-coded jewelry, and free global activations, her mission is to awaken 5 million starseeds by 2030 and help anchor the vibration of the New Earth.

In this conversation, Lily shares why light language is a gateway to remembering who you truly are, how intention shapes multidimensional healing, and ways you can begin activating your own soul dialect.

I am curious about your growing-up years. As a little kid, was there a fascination about life beyond what we can see on Earth, or did that kind of come later in life?

Lily Li: I would definitely say that as I was growing up, I was always open to anything that was out there. Ghosts, spirits, even Atlantis—I had no idea what was real, but I was drawn to it. I also believed in things like the Bermuda Triangle. And definitely ETs.

Fast forward to 2018, when the trajectory of your life changed. Can you walk us through that and how it opened you up to a whole new way of seeing and experiencing life?

Lily Li: In 2018, my mom found out she had stage four pancreatic cancer, and she passed away extremely quickly—within two or three weeks. After her passing, we had the funeral dinner, and I remember thinking to myself afterward, “Oh, it’s Saturday. I can finally go home and relax.”

The next thing I knew, I collapsed at the restaurant. I was unconscious—I don’t know for how long, because there’s a period I still can’t recall. When I came to, all I remember saying was, “Oh, I’m here now.” I wasn’t surprised to be in the hospital. It just felt matter-of-fact.

The doctors didn’t find anything after running a bunch of tests. I knew I was feeling off, but perhaps it was the weight of grief. I gave myself six months to recover.

When you say you gave yourself six months to recover, what does that mean?

Lily Li: I was just feeling off, like I wasn’t myself. I couldn’t really think straight. I often felt heavy-hearted, and sometimes even my head felt heavy. Something was just off. Around that time, I was still going through tests, and I couldn’t drive because they had taken away my license—they thought I’d had a seizure, and it was unexplained. So I told myself, Okay, I’m going to give myself six months to recover. After six months, I’ll be fine.

Were you working at the time?

Lily Li: I had my own business, but I wasn’t working much during that period.

After those six months, which was September—I remember because the kids had just gone back to school—I started noticing something strange. Every time I looked at the clock or looked anywhere, I would see 911. Because of who I am, always curious, I thought, Maybe someone is trying to give me a message. In North America, of course, 911 means “emergency,” so I wondered if someone was warning me.

I started Googling and came across the idea of angel numbers. Sure enough, once I acknowledged what 911 might mean, I stopped seeing it. Then another number would appear—like 747. Again, once I looked it up and acknowledged the meaning, that number would disappear, and a new one would start showing up. It was fascinating, as if I was receiving a series of messages in numbers.

Did you ever have a sense of what that message was, or whether it was your mom or someone else? 

Lily Li: I don’t think it was my mom. I felt it was more of a general message. At the time, I didn’t really understand what people meant by “the universe.” I’d hear the term and wonder, What does that even mean? Maybe it was Source, maybe angels, perhaps spirit guides. I wasn’t sure, but I sensed it was coming from beyond me.

Had you grown up with some sort of spirituality that was informing your experience at that time, or was everything new to you?

Lily Li: If religion is considered spirituality, then yes—I was born Catholic. I went to Catholic school and practiced it when I was very young. But by high school, I started questioning Catholicism. The best way to put it is that I just didn’t understand it, and it didn’t really resonate with me. I thought, This isn’t for me.

Other than that, I was always open. If someone said there was a ghost, I believed it. If someone talked about spirits, I thought, Sure, why not? If there were something I’d never heard of before, I wanted to know more. I’ve always been curious and open to whatever might be out there.

You were just open. So then, a couple of years later, in 2020, you were meditating. At that point, was meditation something you had started to integrate into your life?

Lily Li: Yes, I had started meditating. In 2020, my dad passed away, and I think shortly before his death, I committed to a practice. I told myself, I’m going to meditate for at least 30 minutes to an hour a day and dedicate myself to it.

But the particular experience you’re referring to wasn’t part of my regular practice. It was one of those times when I just happened to go on YouTube and found a meditation video. The woman was guiding us in the usual way—close your eyes, breathe, imagine this or that.

Then, after a while, she started speaking something. And suddenly I began bawling—crying and crying in such an emotional way. But it wasn’t sadness. It felt beautiful, like, Oh my God, what is this? It sounded so familiar, yet I knew it wasn’t human. It wasn’t Italian, Greek, or any language I had ever heard. I just knew—it wasn’t human.

And so as you hear this, what was it? It was what we would call light language, is that right?

Lily Li: Yes.

How did you take that in? Did you then do further research, or what unfolded after that?

Lily Li: It just felt so familiar—like home. That’s why I was bawling. I kept thinking, What is this? This feels like home. Because I’ve always felt like this world wasn’t my true home. Even though I lived in my house with my family, I always carried the sense that this was not my home.

Later, I found out that the woman had briefly mentioned it was light language. So I started researching, and around that time, I also took a quantum healing course. Through that, I discovered the concept of a light language activator.

The way it works is that when you have a question—whether you speak it aloud or in your mind—if you quiet your thoughts, the answer will come to you. Or rather, you’ll recognize it when it arrives. I asked a question, and soon after, a light language activator entered my life. I thought, There’s such a thing? Absolutely, I’m willing to invest—I know I can speak this.

And so, how long did it take you? What was that process like?

Lily Li: For me, it was like a light switch. It wasn’t something I had to study for years, as many mention of their Reiki or healing abilities, for example. The woman activated me, and shortly afterward, I was able to speak three, six, and then countless languages. I stopped keeping track—it was many, many.

Lots of different languages. And as it flows through you, you can feel the difference when you’re moving from one to the other?

Lily Li: Yes.

And are you consciously making the choice to move from one to the other, or is it just flowing through you automatically?

Lily Li: I can do both. I can intentionally call on a particular one, or if I’m working with a client, it often flows naturally. Certain dialects, sounds, or languages carry specific functions. At the same time, because I connect with the client’s higher self, their energy helps guide what needs to come through. So it’s really both.

When I was a Christian, I was introduced to speaking in tongues, which was seen as part of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Later, as a pastor, it wasn’t really part of my church culture, but when I encountered light language a few years ago, it felt like coming home. You call it quantum light language—what would you say is its purpose, for you and for others?

Lily Li: Before I answer, I want to clarify that the term I use is Quantum Light Language Healing—QLLH. It’s the modality I created, which combines quantum healing with light language healing.

As for your question, light language is really an umbrella term. Just like fruits or vegetables include many types—bananas, oranges, broccoli, cucumbers—light language encompasses a range of expressions. It includes light codes, dialects, and even what you just mentioned: speaking in tongues.

So why would anyone want to speak light language? What’s the big deal? Well, every living being has vibration. If you have vibration, you have frequency. If you have frequency, you have sound—even if it can’t be heard by human ears.

Take PlantWave technology, for example. You clip the device onto a plant, and it translates the plant’s vibration into sound. That’s a reminder that everything alive carries a frequency. As humans, we each have a soul dialect. If you wish to tap into it, you can. If you don’t, that’s fine.

But the reason someone might want to is because it’s the fastest way to remember who you truly are. It’s also the quickest way to connect with your higher self, Source, and other light beings or galactic beings if you choose. Personally, I focus on connecting with Source and my higher self, but others may feel drawn to work with different beings.

For me, it’s connecting with the variations of my own galactic higher selves. Some people are more like galactic extroverts—they want to connect with anything and everything out there. I’m not one of those. I prefer to focus on Source and my multidimensional galactic selves.

It’s also one of the healing modalities I use. Light language can be a really quick pick-me-up—if you’re feeling low, it can rapidly shift your vibration. And if you want to connect with specific beings to receive messages, you can do that too. There are so many benefits to light language, and in many ways, it’s the gateway. In fact, it’s the quickest way to activate who you truly are—and to awaken your starseed abilities.

You’ve just explained the benefits of light language beautifully, but what is a starseed? How would someone know if they are one?

Lily Li: “Starseed” is a term many people use, and to be honest, I sometimes use it simply because it’s an SEO catchword. But essentially, it means there are different kinds of souls here on Earth—some terrestrial, some extraterrestrial.

How do you know if you’re a starseed? I’d say there are three main indicators.

First, you feel an ongoing sense of homesickness without a clear reason. You might be strongly drawn to the stars, the night sky, or the idea of extraterrestrial life.

Second, you carry a sense that you have a mission here. Maybe you know what it is, maybe you don’t—but you feel like you’re here for more than just daily routines of work, groceries, and sleep.

And third, if you even hear the word “starseed” and it sparks curiosity, that’s a clue. If it resonates with you, if you feel a pull toward it, there’s a good chance you are one. If you weren’t, the word probably wouldn’t even land in your field of awareness—it would just pass you by.

One of your big goals is to awaken five million starseeds in the next five years—by 2030. Why is that such a passion for you? Why is it such a driving force, and what challenges do you anticipate along the way?

Lily Li: Everything I do is aligned with my current soul purpose, which has three parts: to accelerate cosmic disclosure by normalizing light language, to help anchor in the new earth frequency, and to help heal the collective.

Okay, so three things—cosmic disclosure, normalizing light language, and collective healing. Let’s start with the first one. Why cosmic disclosure? Why are you passionate about that?

Lily Li: Because we are so much more than we think we are. We are not just human beings—we carry incredible innate abilities. Some people call them psychic abilities, but I prefer “innate abilities.” The word “psychic” feels limiting, almost gatekeeping. People hear it and think, That’s not me. I don’t have that. That’s too woo-woo.

But the truth is, we all have these innate gifts. It’s just a matter of whether you choose to activate them, bring them online, and use them. Why would you want to? Because it makes life so much easier.

Think of it as different muscles. Some people naturally lean toward one ability—like claircognizance, where you just know something without knowing why, or clairsentience, where you feel and intuitively sense truth. Once you lean into the one that comes most naturally, it becomes easier to activate others.

And when you begin accessing your innate abilities, life on Earth shifts. You move out of lack—lack of time, lack of money, lack of purpose—and start enjoying life. From that place, you naturally begin asking, What is my soul purpose? And then you’re empowered to live it out, which helps humanity as a whole.

That’s why my mission is to awaken five million starseeds in the next five years. Because as more of us activate, we’re not only elevating our own energy – we’re creating ripples that uplift those around us and the spaces we move through… helping raise the collective frequency of humanity. This is how we help anchor in the vibration of the New Earth.

Five million is a big number, Lily. How do you see this as possible? Obviously, manifesting means having the dream first, but what’s your plan—and what challenges do you anticipate?

Lily Li: The funny thing is, when I first wrote it down, I put one million. Then I clearly heard my higher self say, No—five million in five years. I thought, Really? But then they told me to calculate it. Five million divided by the world’s population isn’t even 0.06 percent – put it in perspective, it’s about 1 in every 10,000 people. In other words, it only sounds big. It’s actually not.

Later, I learned that if even one percent of people are activated at this vibration, it anchors the New Earth, so five million is exactly in line with that.

The biggest challenges I see are twofold. First, many people sense their purpose but are afraid to step fully into it. Second, they hesitate to invest in themselves. In my opinion, the fastest way to activate who you truly are is through your soul dialect—your light language. But people might doubt, that’s just what Lily says. Is it really true?

To overcome this, I’m offering free light language activations for anyone aligned with the mission of normalizing light language and awakening five million souls—let’s call them “curious souls.” There’s no financial cost, only the willingness to participate and to share it with others. Imagine walking down the street and hearing people speaking light language openly—that’s what I envision. Because honestly, I can express myself far better in light language than I can in English. Human language is limited in its vocabulary, which makes it hard to truly articulate what it is you want to express and feel, whereas when you speak your soul dialect, it’s a vibration of your soul, you communicate with clarity.

You mentioned earlier multiple soul dialects. Would you say soul dialect is the same as light language, or do you see them as different?

Lily Li: It’s like asking if a banana is the same as fruit. Yes, a banana is fruit, but it’s also a very specific type of fruit. Soul dialect is like that—it falls under the umbrella of light language but is more precise.

That’s why there are so many variations. Every living thing has its own vibration, its own sound. So when you listen to two people both saying they’re speaking Arcturian, they may sound very different. It’s not that one is right and the other wrong—they’re simply expressing different aspects or dialects. One might be an Arcturian Dragon, another an Arcturian Mantis, and another an Arcturian being.

Soul dialect is even more specific. It’s the unique energetic language of your soul. That’s why no two sounds exactly alike.

What’s happening during an activation? Are you simply speaking light language, and something wakes up inside of me? Does it happen the same way for everyone, or are there different experiences?

Lily Li: Light language is multidimensional, so no two people experience it in the same way. It depends on the intention behind the transmission. For example, if my purpose is to clear negative self-worth energy, what will happen is that the energy begins to loosen and shift.

When I transmit, you may feel physical discomfort at first—like a headache, scratchy throat, or tension in a particular area. That simply means you’ve been storing dense energy there. Everyone’s body responds differently, but those initial sensations are part of the clearing process.

Do you call in a certain dialect specifically for that, or is it whatever flows through you?

Lily Li: It depends. Often, I use my soul dialect, or Source dialect, especially at the beginning. The intention guides which language or vibration comes through.

What’s most important is not to tense up. If you notice something happening—your forehead tightening, your throat feeling scratchy—just acknowledge it instead of resisting. That allows me to help you more effectively.

As the energy loosens, you may feel release sensations such as yawning, coughing, laughing, crying, clearing your throat, or even wanting to move your body. Let it happen. Those are signs your body is clearing the dense energy it no longer needs. Allowing the release helps the activation do its work fully.

Walk me through what a light language activation is like. If I don’t speak light language and I come to you to be activated, what’s the process?

Lily Li: I always clear first, then activate. Generally, there are blockages that get in the way of what you want to bring online, so clearing makes room. After that, I activate what you’ve requested and place the light codes in the areas that are now open to receive.

Do people ever come to you wanting activation, and nothing comes out—like a dry heave?

Lily Li: Actually, no. Before activation, they may not speak it, but afterward they’re usually surprised—“I’m actually speaking it!” In the integration phase, many sound like toddlers at first, repeating a few syllables over and over. That’s normal.

How can someone tell they’re not just making it up?

Lily Li: Practice for three to five minutes. If you’re not thinking about the next syllable, you’re speaking it. You can even test it by letting your mind wander—What am I eating for breakfast? Do I have the ingredients?—while your mouth keeps going. If only three syllables show up—“ada, ada, ada”—perfect. Keep going. After a few minutes, the ego gets bored and steps aside, and your higher self comes through. This isn’t learning a human language; it’s your soul speaking. Keep practicing, and you’ll feel the shift.

One concern someone might have is that this could open them up to darkness—evil spirits or something they don’t want coming through them.

Lily Li: Absolutely, and that’s an important point. The term light language isn’t always accurate, because not all transmissions are of the light. Once in a while, you might come across a transmission that makes your body react—something feels off. You don’t need to analyze it. Just recognize that the intention behind it isn’t for your highest good right now and simply scroll away. Don’t give it more energy than necessary.

The same applies when you’re transmitting light language. Intention is everything. That’s why I always set the intention to connect only with my galactic higher selves, Source, and my higher self. I’m not interested in connecting with just anyone. Set your intention clearly, and so it is.

You’ve developed your own modality—Quantum Light Language Healing. How does that work? How is it different from simply activating someone in light language?

Lily Li: Quantum Light Language Healing, or QLLH, is a modality I created that combines quantum healing with light language healing. It’s powerful because it draws on both. Quantum healing works with energy across space and time. Light language is vibrational sound healing, and when light codes are included, it becomes extremely potent.

Think of light codes like a zip file on your computer. It doesn’t take up much space, but when you unzip it, you discover an incredible amount of information inside. Light codes are like that—they contain vast amounts of healing energy and wisdom.

Because this work is quantum, it doesn’t require you to be physically present. Everything I do is online unless someone is a close friend visiting me in person. And because light language works even at the cellular level, I can work with DNA as well.

Most issues people come with—even physical ones, unless it’s an actual injury—are rooted in stuck emotions. That could be from childhood, ancestral lines, past lives, or even multidimensional origins. I connect with a person’s higher self, and they direct me to where the issue originated. If needed, and with permission, I’ll access the Akashic Records to help clear it.

After clearing, I always place an activation so the empty space is filled with light codes. That way, the dense energy doesn’t return. So in a light language activation, I use QLLH to clear the dense energy that’s blocking you from connecting with your soul’s dialect and light language. I then bring in the activation light codes to activate your remembrance and connection to that.

As people work with you and begin having these awakening experiences—suddenly speaking light language, feeling healed, releasing something that had kept them stuck—how do you encourage them to integrate this into daily life? Some might be hesitant, wondering if they should tell their spouse or coworkers. How do you help them integrate such big shifts?

Lily Li: When people have these profound awakening experiences, I encourage them to look for support in the community. Groups like my ELEVATE community can be incredibly grounding because they offer a space where others are on similar journeys, sharing in the same transformative processes.

There’s something powerful about being surrounded by those who understand the nuances of spiritual growth and personal evolution.  In a supportive environment like ELEVATE, people can share their experiences, receive guidance, and feel less isolated as they navigate their path.  The collective energy can amplify their own growth and help them feel validated as they integrate these experiences into daily life.

It’s about creating a circle where learning, healing, and growth can happen together – because, ultimately, we’re all in this together.

One simple way is to sing it. Many people are probably already speaking light language without realizing it. They hum, make up sounds, or sing little gibberish tunes when they’re in a good mood—that’s often their soul dialect coming through.

So I suggest singing it. Take a favorite tune and fill it with light codes. Others might just think you’re being playful or silly, but really, you’re practicing and integrating. It’s a natural, joyful way to bring light language into daily life without pressure.

Talk to me about your offerings. You have both membership and mentorship programs. What’s the difference, and how can people get involved in working with you?

Lily Li: Yes, I offer memberships, courses, and mentorship programs to meet people wherever they are on their journey.

The membership program is called ELEVATE with Lily Li or simply ELEVATE. This is the most cost-effective way to work with me on a regular basis since we meet live on Zoom twice a month. Members get access to various 30-day courses, such as self-love or inner child work. We also meet biweekly: one session is a Dragon Activation Book Club, where we work with dragon energy through my book series, and the other is a live Zoom for group clearings, healings, and activations.

Beyond that, I have courses for those who want to go deeper. For example, Introduction to Light Language Mastery for people wanting to dive deeper and wanting to know how to understand what they’re channeling. Basically, now that I speak it, how do I use it?  What’s next? I also offer Quantum Light Language Healing, which trains you to use it as a healing tool.

The mentorship program is more intensive. It’s called Inner Mystique Awakening and runs for six months. We work very closely, usually weekly, beginning with clearing layers of trauma—childhood, past life, galactic, and ancestral. From there, I teach light language and quantum healing, guiding you in practicing and expanding your gifts. Later, I introduce additional tools like accessing the Akashic Records and mediumship to help you become a well-rounded healer. I also help enhance your innate and psychic abilities, supporting you in awakening fully to who you are.

I’ve also recently created something I’m very excited about: the Divine Soul Blueprint Activation Package. It includes a detailed 20-page report outlining who you are at the soul level, your divine soul blueprint, as revealed through your Akashic Records, and what blockages may be holding you back—whether from past lives, current life choices, or patterns. Then we do a live session together to clear those blockages. The report also highlights your strengths and purpose, which is so important for people who ask, Who am I? What is my purpose? This package gives them clarity and a path forward.

You mentioned your Dragon Activation Light Codes book series. I thought it was just four or five books—but it’s actually 48! Do you mind showing us a cover? These are all available on Amazon, correct? What’s the purpose of this massive series?

Lily Li: Yes—48 books. The series is based on an Oracle deck by Gayatri Singh, which contains 48 cards. When a friend recommended the deck to me, I could immediately feel that it was supercharged with energy.

Because of my many past lives connected to dragons, I felt called to sit with each card and download the light codes connected to it. For every card, I received pages upon pages of light codes—so much that I ended up with stacks of thick notebooks. Eventually, I was guided to put them into books. That’s how the series was born—48 books, one for each card.

So each book is tied to a specific card from the deck?

Lily Li: Exactly. Each book begins with foundational material—explaining what light codes are, what light language is, and how to work with it. Then the focus turns to the specific card. For example, if the card is Confidence, the book contains pages of light codes that carry that vibration. There’s also space at the back for readers to journal and integrate whatever comes through.

People often find the books very activating. One woman, who works with energy herself, decided to place the Confidence book under her pillow. She told me afterward that she felt more confident and wasn’t afraid to go live on social media anymore. That’s how powerful the codes can be—they shift energy in subtle but profound ways.

So all of the books in the Dragon Activation series are available—the ones currently in print are on Amazon, correct?

Lily Li: Dragon light codes book series – 16 of 48 are currently published – they’re available on Amazon and my website.

And you also have a line of jewelry—is that right?

Lily Li: Yes, I create light-coded gemstone jewelry. These pieces are encoded with light codes to assist you further. For example, if you receive one of my transmissions on confidence and purchase the confidence book, you can also wear jewelry that’s been infused with the same codes. That way, you carry the vibration with you throughout the day.

One woman even bought a bracelet for her friend who had struggled with negativity for a long time. She told me afterward, “No one else would believe me, but I know you will. She’s changed—she’s lighter, more positive, and even taking new steps in her life.” Stories like that remind me how powerful these codes are, whether in books, sessions, or jewelry.

I know we had talked about you actually providing an activation and clearing during our conversation. If you’re still up for it, I’d love to give space for that now.

Lily Li: Absolutely. I love offering collective healing.

What should we do to prepare?

Lily Li: Simply find a space where you feel comfortable and relaxed. I’ll guide you through a short centering meditation, and then we’ll move into the activation and see what comes through.

Sounds good.

Lily Li: Find a comfortable space, close your eyes, and take three deep breaths…

(Lily then guided the audience through a grounding visualization, connecting the root chakra to the Earth and the crown to the soul star, creating a protective container. She led a collective clearing focused on releasing self-doubt and activating remembrance, using light language and codes for several minutes.)

When you’re ready, slowly come back and let me know how you feel.

Thank you. What was happening for you during that process?

Lily Li: I was working on different areas where I sensed stuck energy. Because this activation is quantum, it wasn’t just for you—it was also for anyone who will eventually hear or watch this session.

Interestingly, I noticed something different from my usual sessions: I felt heat in my own body, which doesn’t normally happen. That told me I was transmuting some of the energy myself rather than leaving it fully to participants, which is rare for me.

I also sensed a strong connection with Mantis energy—many who encounter this may feel resonance with that.

How about you? What did you experience?

When you first began, you mentioned clearing self-doubt. As you were speaking, I envisioned these little pouches of self-doubt across my chest—and it was almost like your hands were reaching in and clearing them out. Then I saw stars or stardust filling that space. I also saw imagery around my dad, who’s facing health challenges right now, and felt this empathetic, loving exchange with him.

Overall, I felt lighter, more expansive. Some parts of the language you spoke felt familiar, almost like the way I’ve spoken before. It’s fascinating when that happens, because part of me wonders if it’s spiritual or if it’s just my brain trying to make sense of what it’s hearing. Either way, it was beautiful—and fascinating to hear the different dialects flowing through you. Thank you.

Lily Li: You’re so welcome.

If someone wants to connect with you—whether for your membership, mentorship, courses, or free activations—what’s the best place to find you online?

Lily Li: The best place is my website: awakeningstarseeds.com. There’s even a free “Am I a Starseed?” quiz there. You can also find me through my Linktree, which has all of my social media links. I’m active on TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, and I even have a dedicated Facebook group for light language and light codes, since my mission is to normalize it.

Wonderful. Lily, thank you so much for sharing your story and wisdom with us. Your effervescent smile and energy are contagious, and we appreciate the difference you’re making in the world.

Lily Li: Thank you, David. And thank you for creating this platform and holding space for conversations like this. Truly grateful
