One of my first "aha" moments with spiritual awakening was discovering the 17th-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza. You can listen to the audio recordings that really resonated with me on audible.com: "Baruch Spinoza: The Giants of Philosophy" written by Thomas Cook and narrated by Charlton Heston, and "New Jerusalem: The Interrogation of Baruch de Spinoza at Talmud Torah Congregation: Amsterdam, July 27, 1656" an L.A. Theatre Works production written by David Ives and performed by Ed Asner and others.
You can find an examination of Spinoza's life and writings here: Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/spinoza/#Biog)
And you can find a short biography of Spinoza here: Great Thinkers—Baruch Spinoza (https://thegreatthinkers.org/spinoza/biography/)
