This bothers me quite a bit and gives me frustration. It’s the way our society is living. We have buried our emotions so much that we aren't even in touch with ourselves now. We have become disconnected. Why did this happen? For starters it goes back to our childhoods.

You all know and heard things like this " Hey why are you crying, stop it only babies cry" Our parent and peers taught us this and what has it done? We have grown up to think emotions are weak and this has cost us dearly.

Addictions are through the roof along with illnesses and obesity too. All of our diseases and addictions trace back to our unresolved emotions buried deeply within us. i have no scientific background so i can't prove it scientifically but i feel strongly about it. Many of us are not willing to look at the true source of our problems.

We would rather not go there and cover it up with alcohol abuse or the next high. But I believe in order to be truly free we have to look deep within. We have to dig out those roots that were planted in us.

This take a lot of courage and this is why i think shadow work is so important. Shadow work is the wiliness to look within at all of our unresolved emotions and pain and to allow it to come to the surface to be resolved. Imagine what the world would be like if we were taught this growing up?

Anyways those are just my thoughts

...and we need to support a good opening post like this one! Well said!

I took a minute to look up the meaning of shadow-work. To be honest, I am not sure if I had heard of it before although from the opening post I had a good idea. And I felt that I, myself, have been doing this for many years - some things take time but the rewards are felt quickly when you make progress.

With a quick search...

What is shadow work? The shadow work meaning is as follows: Working with your unconscious mind to uncover the parts of yourself that you repress and hide from yourself. This can include trauma or parts of your personality that you subconsciously consider undesirable. Anyone can do shadow work on their own.

I can feel that many Canadians were traumatized when the peaceful protesters in Ottawa were met with brutality from a hired (from the UN?) police force.

People have lowered their heads. Here in Canada Bill C-11 is another threat to everyone. We are seeing lay offs of people in Canadian media now. Some might think this is a good thing, but the play might lead us to have fewer and fewer sources of news sources to review and get at the truth. Other people might not want to speak out online for fear of negative consequences.

We need to support everyone that we can at every opportunity - help people feel confident, supported and loved. Then they will likely do their own shadow-work.

I have heard that in the east there is a tradition, that it is acceptable for a person entering middle age, usually 40ish, to take some time to find a guru and learn to meditate with the intention to seek an inner knowing and a deeper meaning of some import. I believe even a few years is considered a reasonable devotion of time to the practice.

This pursuit often leads to shadow work, as it must if the adept is sincere and honest with themselves. No progress can occur until the person meets their repressed side. Under the proper guidaince the meditations and other work will of themselves require sometimes profound introspections.

Shadows are intimately tied to our emotions in many ways including stifling them as Jay82 (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?121333-The-importance-of-facing-our-emotions-shadow-work&p=1562893&viewfull=1#post1562893) describes. Shadows are a term coined by Carl Jung to describe the personality traits and beliefs that we reject about ourselves because they are too painful to accept. Shadows are hidden deep within our unconscious mind and we are unaware of their existence because we have ‘disowned’ them.

Here are two books I have published for a friend who wants to remain anonymous. These books describe shadow work from different perspectives. The first book we published (The Inconsequential Child) was about his personal journey toward awareness of the problem and the path he took to "overcome emotional neglect". The next describes how to do shadow work but within the context of the Parent / Child Relationship.

The Inconsequential Child: Overcoming Emotional Neglect
An intimate memoir of one man's journey of self-discovery. The book is written in the form of a letter where each chapter conveys one of the lessons the author has learned during his journey toward emotional well-being, love and hope. The book centers around a series of memories which were the basis of the author's personal psychoanalysis. The memories are written as he remembers them; in his voice, often in first-person, present tense.

The author also offers both real-time and post analysis of the memories that have guided him through his journey. As such, the Inconsequential Child is not a self-help book. Instead, it is a book of possibility. The possibility that you too can heal as you walk along your path toward self-discovery. Also, please note that the author is not a medical professional and he is using a pseudonym.

My Kid, My Shadow: Fewer Triggers, Better Parenting, Less Guilt
Does your kid trigger you? Is he or she struggling, unhappy, lost, or just having a tough time? Are you wondering what you did wrong? Too many parents find themselves in this situation. They are frustrated and feel guilty because they believe they have failed their children and don’t know how to fix it.

This book delves deeply into the root cause of these problems and offers a life-changing method for resolving the issues at their source. As you read ‘My Kid, My Shadow’, you will come to understand the mechanisms at play when parents and children interact, and you will learn why children push their parent’s buttons so easily. You will see that this whole process is all so very normal, and you will realize that you are not the only parent who is struggling.

‘My Kid, My Shadow’ is more than just a parenting book. It is a book of self-awareness and self-discovery. It is based on Carl Jung’s work on Shadow identification and Shadow integration. It describes these concepts and processes in simple, pragmatic ways. If you are interested in pursuing inner consciousness work and self-discovery, you will find the information in this book tangible, practical, and doable.

46 minutes - Posted Oct 28, 2022

SHOW NOTES
Laura and Bernhard talk about how we can use social media for self-work and shadow work. They talk about the dark side of social media, where people project their unconscious shadow, trauma, and pathologies on each other, the importance of boundaries, and what to do to navigate the internet consciously.

In the second hour, they talk about the epidemic of overt/covert narcissism and entitlement on social media, how to work with your narcissism, the lack of relationship and social skills, how plagiarism on social media has become normalized, the Agent Smith syndrome, how occult entities work through people on social media, and more...

Thank you Norman for the link. I listened to the first part and found the content worthwhile and recommend folks listen to it with the following caveats:

I was intrigued because the title was “Learn How To Do Shadow Work On Social Media”. This made no sense to me because Shadow Work is an internal, self discovery process and I could not imagine doing Shadow Work with an external focus ON Social Media. After listening, I would suggest a more accurate title of “Use Social Media To Do Shadow Work”. I believe this is an important distinction because a first time listener will easily be confused thinking that they can actively participate in Social Media and do Shadow Work at the same time. You can’t.

Having said that, I agree with their suggestion to use Social Media to:

Identify things or people that trigger you from Social Media
Do your Shadow Work (in private) so that you are no longer triggered in that way and therefore stop feeding the negative/unhealthy energy.

I like the idea of using Social Media to identify your triggers. The book I listed above (My Kid My Shadow) does something very similar but it uses triggers sourced from the parent/child relationship and then identifies a process for doing shadow work so that you can heal yourself and also heal the parent/child relationship.

The podcast correctly defines shadows as that part of you that you deny or disown. Those traits resident deep within you that you don’t accept or acknowledge as being true for you. But they incorrectly use your outward response or behaviors as examples of shadows. They use anger and bitchiness as typical examples of shadows. I would argue that those external behaviors are not shadows; instead, they are how we manifest our shadows.

Shadows are the underlying trait or belief that cause you to be angry or bitchy. For instance, there are many, many reasons why someone is bitchy. Let’s say I am bitchy because I want to keep people from getting too close to me. My bitchy behavior puts up a wall between me and you and I am therefore not vulnerable. The next question is, why do I need to protect myself in this particular way. Why am I afraid to be vulnerable? The reason is often because of a wound that cut deep, so deep that it altered my way of interacting with everyone in the world. The answer to that question is the shadow. The shadow is the belief or point of view that I developed in response to that wound and often is used as a means of protecting myself from the pain caused by the original wound. Those beliefs (i.e. shadows) become fundamental personality traits and they reside deep within my unconscious mind.

Shadow Work is the process of uncovering those traits that we have repressed and disowned so that they no longer over power us and rule our lives.

Shadow work is very much an internal activity. Social Media is an externally focused activity. Yes, it is a great way to identify triggers which in turn open a small door into your shadows but, one cannot and should not do Shadow Work on Social Media (i.e. do not chronicle your shadow work on social media, keep it private and protect yourself).

If you plan to listen to the podcast, you may want to skip the first 12 minutes.

"The process of Awakening, especially at the beginning - the "Initiation" - is not an experience of a "great enlightenment" with feelings of "oneness, love, and bliss."

It is not merely getting "red-pilled" on an external informational level alone. That's just the first baby step and can become a distraction in itself (or worse, getting black-pilled, getting stuck in paranoia, doom & gloom) if the impulse to awaken is not followed up by the inner work.

Yes, the initial awakening impulse may have aspects of a positive experience at first as well [for some], but ultimately, it is a "Shamanic descent into hell" and suffering, battling with demons and our own thought creations based on shadow projection (that act like entities) within and without.

It brings up everything that is not in alignment with Truth – not what the limited monkey ego mind considers as "truth" in its oversimplified black-and-white thinking and tendency to externalize all evil - but anything within the seeker that stands in the way of realizing the true Self and embodying the Divine Force.

It is Law, and it is necessary; hence, as Sir Aurobindo said, metaphorically speaking: "None can reach heaven who has not passed through hell."

In other words, a true impulse towards Awakening brings up EVERYTHING - our wounds, blindspots, traumas, shadow, the lies we've been telling ourselves, our hypocrisy, and lower nature addictions and weaknesses which we previously have suppressed, avoided, or justified, projected on others, externalized and rationalized away - all of which the occult hostile forces target, tempt us with, and heighten for us to confront and transmute in the alchemical fire within - to help bring forth the psychic being (soul essence) within and to be reborn in one’s true Self.

Likewise, as our eyes and perceptions are cleansed through this initiation [and consecutive initiations] and ongoing internal work, we will see more and more evil in the world as the darkness is coming out of the shadows where it was lurking behind appearances.

Nothing is hidden anymore. All is revealed. Nothing can be unseen, and there is no turning back to the old self and old world. It's a widening on all levels. An Ascent and Decent at the same time. As Satprem noted: "The more Light the Seeker possesses, the more Darkness he uncovers."

You can only rise as high as you are able and willing to go into the depth of your own darkness and shine light into it, i.e., make it conscious. Hence, as Carl Jung said, "One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light but by making the darkness conscious."

We then realize that nothing was hidden all along but that we were living in a dream world, dreaming to be awake. This is the first step, symbolized in the film "The Matrix" when Neo first wakes up in the "real world", unplugs his tubes, and sees fields of humans plugged into the Matrix in their dream state as the machines were "feeding off" of them, harvesting them for energy/life force.

Neo came face to face with what Gurdjieff called "the horror of the situation." It is the first [necessary] shock for the seeker out of many more to come. These "shocks" are tests that not many people pass and hence try to go back to their old life and self, unable to let go.

At the same time, the more we make the darkness conscious, expose and reveal ALL [within and without], the more Light and True Love we can access, see, and anchor within ourselves and in the world - the more creative power, free will, and TRUE freedom we can access as well but this "Free Will" is not "our" own very limited egoic will anymore that lives under the illusion of "independence."

It's a higher level of Being in alignment with Divine Will - our higher/true Self, which acts as a transducer for Divine Will.

Once we tap into that infinite, all-powerful Force in surrender to the Divine, we will have the most powerful effect on the world, guided by the Divine as his faithful servant through every battle and hardship in the ongoing work to spiritualize our Being and the World, transmuting Lead [Ego] into Gold [Spirit].

This is the Great Awakening we're called to - the Great Adventure we're currently embarking on during this Time of Transition. Many of us came here purposely to be part of it - to engage in it and assist others.

But this journey is not a walk in the park. It's a long journey. There are many traps, detours, pitfalls, and temptations steering the seeker away from his mission - nor is everyone ready for it until a future incarnation cycle when the soul is ripe enough to answer the call and engage in the Great Work.

The inner call is the measure. Sincerity, Integrity, Surrender [to the Divine], and an unconditional sincere yearning for TRUTH, whatever it may turn out to be, are the Keys to the Kingdom of God [within]. The doors are shut to anyone else who does not pay with him/herself, for nothing is "free" in the entire universe.

As many ancient esoteric parables ask the question with many tests to pass through to see if the seeker is earnest and sincere: "Are you ready to cross the threshold and accept the sacred sacrifice?"

Godspeed.
Bernhard Guenther "

Jay-82, thank you for making this thread. I had no idea that after my awakening, I naturally started my 'shadow-work' process. I've read some of Bernhard's teachings and his wisdom is insightful and fascinating.

You are so right about people having repressed their emotions. A lot of my shadow work has to do with acknowledging my past traumas.. be it generational, parental and abuse ... it's something I realized as part of my ascension process: at the end of the day: only WE can help OURSELVES.

I turned my focus on meditations and self-healing through the work of Dr Joe Dispenza. His meditation teach you how to stop living in the past, letting go of ego (becoming nothing, no-one, being in no time and being no-where).. I find these meditations to be incredibly powerful and highly recommend them.

I was struck by this post as I am reading Sinead O'Connor's memoir, Rememberings.
I feel haunted by her life and death and have been watching many of her interviews. She was a wise and very soulful person and saw music as her therapy for living-- a means to work through trauma. The subconscious is an incredible part of the human design. So much is filed away here.

I am reminded of the twelfth house in astrology; that which lies hidden; our deep subconscious.
I am reminded of the movie title, The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Who are we without trauma? To feel lightness; to feel love, is to really feel free..Rest in Peace, Sinead.

It brings up everything that is not in alignment with Truth – not what the limited monkey ego mind considers as "truth" in its oversimplified black-and-white thinking and tendency to externalize all evil - but anything within the seeker that stands in the way of realizing the true Self and embodying the Divine Force.

It is Law, and it is necessary; hence, as Sir Aurobindo said, metaphorically speaking: "None can reach heaven who has not passed through hell."

But this journey is not a walk in the park. It's a long journey. There are many traps, detours, pitfalls, and temptations steering the seeker away from his mission - nor is everyone ready for it until a future incarnation cycle when the soul is ripe enough to answer the call and engage in the Great Work.

I like this a lot. Often when I speak of this phase of my own journey in discussions with people, particularly when talking about the shadow work of suppressed trauma memory recall, and not wanting that unfinished work to continue to create timeline fractures and quantic field entanglements for my own living children to resolve because I had not fully cleared these levels or been too lazy to undertake myself (hence the hefty miasmatic load so many starseeds were called to Earth to accept as part of the ground crew mission to assist with clearing, we as the cosmic cleanup crew) I would give the analogy of Gandalf on the bridge with the fire beast. He wants to make safe passage on that bridge
For his companions, so he alone stands the guardian stance and tells the fire beast ‘YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!’ (A minor mantra of mine called for at the right time!!) But, as the shadow descends, it whips his leg and he too must descend into the depths to understand its final demise.

It seems all is lost.

So too does this phase of the dark night of the soul and phantom ego death. I feel it is the phase we are in right now on Earth.

But then later, Gandalf is visible again. Reappeared. He never ‘went’ anywhere. He was just… unseen.

This is the phase when one sequesters
To do the hardest of the inner work, whatever that may be for a given person, it varies greatly I think. Many friends disappear, jobs change, sometimes one looses a home, car,
Partners…. This is learning to trust one’s higher self, the process itself, and deepen into the stillness of knowing God Source Spirit, ONENESS. At one ment. Atonement. Forgiving one’s own shadow is perhaps the most complex task of all.

Forgiveness, I have come to understand for myself, is hard
To acheive if the pattern of behavior that needs forgiving is still in active play. It makes no sense to forgive an attacker who is in the act of attacking still. But, this is where the powerful stance of neutrality and the spiral energy of that zero point comes in… this is Aikido in core conceptualization as I tried to understand it years ago when being hucked around on a mat in old town san diego after my philosophy degree at UCSD taught me that to beleive absolutely nothing was probably the best most self-preservationist and stealthy maneuver possible at that moment in the late 1990s time fields.

Anyhow, after that Gandalf emerges As white… no longer grey.

Sublimation of shadow
Purification of alchemical essence
Restoration of original divine blueprints without all the mind control, the vast shadow that collectively has
Risen and wants to be seen.

It always amazes me that when i use the term ‘mind control’ it still meets
With such a lack of comprehension from very three-dee type people. How can we not acknowledge this very basic level of shadow we are all facing right now?

Not everyone wants to stand on the bridge with the fire beast, because even that gesture forces a recognition of divine mirror, of oneness, in that self-other contemplation. Embracing the shadow, falling down off the bridge <<WITH>> it…. KNOWING… that that is how it is healed.. is the hardest leap of faith. It is me. I am it. Transmute, release.

Complete spiritual deliverance for ones own shadow and even the shadow entities on an external level is an extraordinary act of COMPASSION. Its why in my second interview
With Steve Richards I balked at his refusal to acknowledge the role of compassion in acheiving liberation and true self sovereignty from the trauma timelines of causation.

That interview is still being hosted online here, scroll down to ‘Healing and Integration q and a with Off Planet Radio”

http://https://www.metaholistico.com/holographic-kinetics-media/

Compassion for Shadow is not a comfortable subject. It is not ‘allowing’… there is a important command of one’s
Space that is needed and necessary’… but… compassion itself is not well understood in this world at all.
Which is why we keep doing shadow work on a collective level.

Yes it is there, you have to scroll down a ways to get to a little mp3 player that will then allow you to hear the file. This is a page hosting all holographic kinetics media and this particular interview was not particularly well received because I challenge Steve Richards on a number of points, and the need for compassion EVEN when dealing with dark entities, in fact reading an entity its rights and transiting them IS an act of compassion, and this is not well understood or accepted….

A Journey of 22 Years (Reflections on 9/11)
Piercing the Veil of Reality
Bernhard Guenther
September 11, 2023
https://veilofreality.com/2023/09/11/a-journey-of-22-years-reflections-on-9-11-and-the-current-times/?vgo_ee=Erzi62Wm5gP9TVc0yr2LgGpBp6kapAvy%2Bc1CRzFkvL4%3D%3AuKWY4sTe%2BOFa5putRY5MOL58uwh%2BniWs

https://veilofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/duality-2982827_1920-copy2.jpg

"Twenty-two years ago – when it became very quickly clear to me that the official 9/11 story doesn’t make sense whatsoever unless you see the official story as a fairy tale when the laws of physics were suspended, and common sense lost its meaning – I tried to “wake up” others to see through this mother of all false flag attacks. It was when I started writing my blog and even gave out printed leaflets with my writings from door to door, at stores, and even at shows with my band – the good old days before social media.

Back then, I was naive, for I thought a massive event like that would surely wake people to the truth, but I was mistaken. I learned a valuable lesson that was reinforced each anniversary over the past 22 years because the official 9/11 lie is still firmly in place in the consensus mainstream crowd, if you haven’t noticed. And the same applies to everything that happened over the past three years with this so-called “pandemic.”

Don’t kid yourself that there will be a “collective mass awakening” anytime soon. Yes, for some people, it has initiated a deeper awakening, but many others have sunken more into delusion, and billions of people have taken the jab, which is also detrimental to their soul development (and future incarnations). The jab also gets them primed for the transhumanism take-over of body, soul, and mind, hence the “splitting of humanity,” as many esoteric traditions have foreseen.

You can not and will never ever wake up people en mass via information alone, nor can you force information on people they are not ready for and didn’t ask for in the first place. It’s a violation of free will to give without being asked.

Sure, you can sow some seeds of awareness, and some may blossom, but nothing will ever fundamentally change by information alone, nor will you or I ever understand what “the matrix” is on an intellectual, informational mind level alone.

I’m referring to true awakening, i.e., self-realization and union with the Divine, not some intellectual awareness of the “matrix” and the lies and corruption in the world, which many people mistake for an “awakening” and keeps people only entrapped in the cave, distracted by the shadows on the wall as depicted in Plato’s allegory of the cave. In my current state of Being, I would never claim to be awake in the true meaning of the word.

Hence, it’s also necessary to engage in the necessary inner psychological work, especially shadow and trauma work, so we don’t fall into the trap of spiritual bypassing and over-estimate our level of Being and “awakened state” or mistake all kinds of aspects of our conditioned and ego personality for the soul.

Over the past two decades, I’ve seen many “truth seekers” retake the blue pill (like Cypher in the film) as they age because this path is not for everyone. Dealing with the isolation and attacks of the sleeping masses is far from easy, and the matrix temptations are too alluring – better to go back to sleep and be happy in the dream state.

But I’ve seen people also getting lost In the conspiracy wormhole, becoming extremely paranoid and psychologically unstable, seeing traps and controlled opposition everywhere. There is lots of nonsense out there in the fringe conspiracy world with deliberate entrapments. They have become trapped in their minds, caught in the “2nd matrix” within the labyrinth of their confused minds, as Neil Kramer coined it.

I’ve seen people take the New Age pill as a trauma coping mechanism, identifying as “star seeds” or “light workers” or as any kind of alien race just not “human,” which the wounded ego always likes to feed off in order to feel “special.”

They still wait for the Galactic Federation of Light and aliens to save them and arrest the bad guys, or they still wait for NESARA/GESARA to give them free money and abundance. [That idea, by the way, originated from highly corrupted “channeled material” in the early 90s].

And now we have a new trend of New Agers becoming “reborn” Christians and the rise of a very medieval dogmatic fundamentalist Christian movement that couldn’t be further from the real Christian esoteric teachings [before the church hijacked and distorted it and before even the bible was written [and edited over and over again.] It’s also a trauma response – the need to identify with a religion, teaching, or anything in order to avoid the pain within. It’s unconscious.

There is also a new wave of young New Agers spouting “high vibration cosmic updates” nonsense on TikTok and IG; some of them weren’t even born when 9/11 happened or were just babies. I’ve heard and seen every little thing they talk about before in the 90s. It’s like a strange time-loop déjà vu. In time, they will learn their lessons too.

I also had a little New Age detour in my 20s, so I see it with compassion, but God snapped me out of it quickly via tough grace. But I certainly didn’t take the religious “only Jesus saves” matrix savior trap based on corrupted religious teachings [some people never question the Bible either but take the written stories and phrases literally [as opposed to understanding the underlying esoteric metaphors] and as the “word of God” that can’t be questioned.] Organized religion has always been a mechanism for social control.

Most people still externalize, seeing only evil externally in the world or waiting for someone to save the day, be it Jesus, Trump, Musk, Aliens, or whoever fits their projections and identifications. And that’s ironically how the matrix keeps itself in place, and that’s why not much has changed since that fateful day 22 years ago. I mean change in levels of being and consciousness.

Only now, people’s attention span is even shorter due to social media, and the average IQ has officially dropped over the years, too. It’s always easier to control people who are dumbed down with distractions and information overload that enhance their ADHD.

Not many people turn their vision within, confronting their own darkness, and in the process, connecting to their inner light and then acting, doing, and creating from that space in alignment with essence and the Divine. I’m not saying it’s easy, far from it. I’m not always connected and have my days.

In fact, it’s brutal at times. Sometimes, there is dark despair and strong resistance when I’m being pulled into the depths of my being to bring down the light.

Now I really understand why Sri Aurobindo said, “None can reach heaven who has not passed through hell” – the law of ascent and descent – a divine law mirrored in many other esoteric traditions. He’s referring to the internal process of transformation – the shamanic descent into the underworld to be reborn in the true Self as a conscious transducer for Divine Will.

The internal battle is far more challenging than any external battle I’ve ever fought, and it’s very humbling. Even all the trolls, haters, and personal attacks over the past 20 years don’t come close to the internal struggle.

But this is the way to transform the world, for nothing out there will ever change if your level of being [soul embodiment] doesn’t change. This work is a battle, for there are ancient occult forces in unseen realms that won’t give up their grip and control so easily. They tag right into every single human being, for the war is THROUGH us, always has been, and the matrix is a mind program.

Free will is, for most people, an illusion, for there can’t be free will if you don’t know yourself [beyond your ego personality] and are not aware of your unconscious programmed and mechanical ways of behavior.

As long as you are only externally focused, the matrix forces have you where they want you to be, acting as their conduit, distracted by the shadows on the wall, feeding the polarization of shadow projections between “two sides” as they feed off the generated loosh or people’s complacency of avoiding truth and the darkness within and without.

Yet, the opportunity for a true awakening is always there, and especially now during this Time of Transition, Right here. Right now. We always have a choice, but no one can do it for you, nor can you do it for another.

Godspeed."

A Journey of 22 Years (Reflections on 9/11)
Piercing the Veil of Reality
Bernhard Guenther
September 11, 2023
...
Thank you for posting this onawah. Lots and lots of gems in this complex topic i.e. a person must be truly self-aware in order for them to understand and accept the reality of what happened during 911, and then again with the plandemic (i.e. self-aware means they must have done shadow work).

The article also did a good job reinforcing these tenets about shadow work:

Shadow work is both humbling and empowering at the same time.
Shadow work is very difficult and painful.
Shadow work is a mandatory prerequisite to truly understand yourself and your place in the world.
Shadow work is an internal process that requires the individual to take ownership of their life. Said differently, victim-hood, blaming others, or expecting someone to save you are the antithesis of shadow work.
Shadow work can only be done by the individual, alone.

"The greater the sincerity with which we seek out the truth – and the stronger the voice we use to speak out about our discoveries – the more heightened in intensity the ‘push-back’ reactivity will be, and the attacks we receive shall arrive in ways that catch us completely unaware.

Relationships are (by their nature) amongst the most difficult experiences for human beings to navigate (not just the romantic kind), but for those who are dedicated to truth-seeking and inner work, they can become even more emotionally and psychologically challenging.

Does that mean that pursuing this path is a lost cause – that being part of a larger consciousness-raising movement within the global community is, paradoxically, a lonely and isolating lifestyle? Not at all.

We have to understand (on a primal level) that we are far more powerful than we think we are; there’s a spiritual war underway, and the weapons we possess (in defense and protection of ourselves) are embodied knowledge, awareness, and our aspiration to the Divine - our true Nature - which is calling us forth to embrace this adventure of consciousness as spiritual warriors.

In fact, the greatest deception can be found in occult entities, their human puppets, and the matrix forces fooling us into believing that we are fundamentally powerless and thus incapable of transcending their machinations.

Let us look at this predicament from a different vantage point:

The fact that you are being attacked (and attracting that kind of attention in the first place) shows that you are latching onto something – a larger truth – that is a threat to the Matrix Control System’s game plan, whether it be through the information you share, the ‘voice’ you possess, or perhaps it’s due to simply being who you are (as you shed layers of programming and trauma) and what you are here to do (but may haven’t realized what that is just yet).

Being targeted can show you that you are actually on the right track. It doesn't mean that you "attracted" these interferences to you because of the over-simplified New Age distortions of the "law of attraction" and your "negative" thoughts, just like Neo didn't attract Agent Smith's attacks because of his "****ty attitude."

But being "targeted" is also NOT an excuse for getting in victim/blame mode [self-pity] or martyr/savior mode [self-importance.] Many truth seekers fall into that trap and create more paranoia of being a "targeted individual" as the matrix forces feed into people's trauma and target all the blindspots and weaknesses within.

As Montalk noted: "Attacks serve to identify our own weaknesses, thus providing focus for where to take the next step on one’s path of spiritual awakening."

After all, all there is are lessons and EVERYTHING has a teaching function for your individual soul evolution and for the collective during this Time of Transition in this ultimate adventure of consciousness.

So, activate your spiritual warrior essence, take self-responsibility, and stay grounded in your true Self in service of the Divine.

The reality is that struggle and suffering are inevitable traits to be endured on the awakening path, for they reveal all that is "false" within you and in the world.

The New Age has corrupted this truth by sowing the bypassing seeds of illusion, such as the extremely distorted ideas involving the "You Create Your Own Reality" solipsistic fallacy, so as to have you blaming yourself for your misfortunes.

But it is not black and white, and there ARE moments in life where we do find ourselves in unfortunate situations and challenges that arise through our own blind spots, unconscious core beliefs, self-sabotage patterns, and unconscious behavior patterns due to past trauma, childhood wounding, or refusal to make our shadow conscious which then will act out in the external world as "fate" or we project it on others [as Carl Jung noted.]

It takes a high level of self-awareness, self-knowledge, psychological/spiritual insights, and consistent inner work to know what is "yours" and what is not. This process and the insights gained should be utilized as lessons and reality feedback for your inner work, but there is way more to the ‘larger picture’ story.

At the same time, we do need to be careful in unnecessarily attracting the attention and targeted attacks of "the General Law," which is the esoteric term for the "Matrix Control System" [Mouravieff/Gnosis]. Many truth seekers also fall into this trap of the "revolutionary mindset," as Gurdjieff called it, as the matrix forces trigger people's unconscious stuff to make them react mechanically. "Outrage porn" is a good example of that.

"[..]But it is entirely in his interest not to show the new attitude which he has taken towards exterior life. The ‘World’ will be hostile to him [the seeker], because its own purposes are different; it is not in his interest to provoke this tendency, and even less to keep it alive. The day will come — if he remains in the same milieu — where, apart from rare exceptions he will be openly or secretly hated....

This negative attitude is the result of the action of the General Law [Matrix], which, as we know, tends to keep man in his place. Not being able to do this directly by the action of Illusion, the General Law, when it loses its dominion over the man who ‘moves’, acts indirectly by the mediation of those around him [Agent Smith syndrome]....

The more he progresses with his work, the more he becomes an object of hate. That is why it is said that: ‘no prophet is acceptable in his own country’ and also: ‘A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, among his own kin and in his own house.‘[...]"

- Boris Mouravieff, Gnosis

Blind revolutionary impulses (i.e., truth-seeking without grounding in sincere self-work and carefully-vetted inner knowledge) will transform a person into that which they had sought to fight against: the trap of the reactionary revolutionary mind, which is only focused on the outside world of our third-dimensional reality, locked in a vain struggle against the shadows projected onto the cave wall as we miss the deeper lessons during this Time of Transition.

Hence, the inner and outer work always need to go together, for they are essentially one and the same.

Godspeed

"There Are Deep Spiritual Lessons During This Time of Upheaval so we don’t experience the same fate as Atlantis did and the necessity to repeat the cycle.

Times like these are the perfect "ferment" to dive into the Great Work for alchemical inner transmutation - facing your fears, owning your triggers, taking full self-responsibility, and getting out of your head into your body - to stay grounded, never giving in to either hope or fear which are two sides of the same coin.

It's about staying centered, not being attached to anything but in full surrender to the Divine, trusting the Divine plan, not any human plan - and acting as servants of the Divine expressed in your unique purpose through your unique gifts and talents.

All of that is way easier said than done, of course, and I fall off the wagon myself sometimes and need to re-align on this roller coaster called life - the ascent and descent at the same time for awakening is not a simple linear road up to more love and light unless you engage in spiritual bypassing It’s a widening on all levels.

Everything that has been hidden needs to be revealed within yourself and in the world. As Carl Jung said: “The Tree that reaches to heaven needs to have its roots in hell”.

But I do know if I [my ego-personality] grasp for a certain outcome, I know I’m not aligned anymore. All there is are lessons.

When I’m grounded in my true Self, there is no grasping or hoping for any particular outcome, nor fear of any dreaded outcome, because my eternal true Self KNOWS that whatever happens needs to happen according to Divine Will and couldn’t be any other way.

This is the true meaning of Faith: trusting God’s Will even if we don’t know where it’s all leading.

I’m not talking about some sort of external religious dogmatic "guy in the sky" kind of "god" on whom we have projected human qualities, human morality, and human judgment.

This surrender doesn't imply sitting back in non-action. That passive idea of spiritual surrender is a very common misconception.

Far from it. Conscious action is required in alignment with Divine Will, which expresses itself through your true Self - your essence that can never be touched or destroyed.

But it is buried behind all our wounds, traumas, unconscious shadows, beliefs, programs, and all kinds of conditioned personality masks we have put on and mistakingly identify with.

You need to have a strong will to give to the Divine, and for that, you need to stay focused and get over the short-attention-span epidemic and all the distractions.

Despite how bleak the world may look at times, there is a silver lining and amazing opportunity right now, right here, to step up in your true self and create a new world - not the dystopian world "they" want to create for us with their "Great Reset" and scare you with the announcement of disease X.

But it does require your participation and necessity to connect with people who are collinear, with the same intention and aim - together - engaging in inner and outer work, helping and supporting each other as the spiritual warriors we've been called to be.

Most importantly, don’t forget the universal law of “as within so without, as without so within.” Everything you see in the new world “out there” on the global stage or in your personal life is a reflection of the collective consciousness and unconscious - the collective shadow. Your personal shadow is part of it.

In other words, it’s useless to complain or wait for the world to change or via a savior, political, or institutional change.

If human consciousness doesn’t change, nothing changes, and we may experience the same fate as Atlantis did in a previous cycle, as the Divine will press the ultimate “Great Reset” button…until we learn the lesson, find the Kingdom within, and remember who we are.

Godspeed.
Bernhard Guenther

"A mood of universal destruction and renewal has set its mark on our age. This mood makes itself felt everywhere, politically, socially, and philosophically.

We are living in what the Greeks called the kairos- the right moment for a "metamorphosis of the gods" of the fundamental principles and symbols.

This peculiarity of our time, which is certainly not of our conscious choosing, is the expression of the unconscious human within us who is changing.

Coming generations will have to take account of this momentous transformation if humanity is not to destroy itself through the might of its own technology and science.

So much is at stake, and so much depends on the psychological constitution of the modern human."

- Carl Gustav Jung"

The core message there for me is this: "But I do know if I [my ego-personality] grasp for a certain outcome, I know I’m not aligned anymore. All there is are lessons.

When I’m grounded in my true Self, there is no grasping or hoping for any particular outcome, nor fear of any dreaded outcome, because my eternal true Self KNOWS that whatever happens needs to happen according to Divine Will and couldn’t be any other way."

...That doesn't mean I don't think there is a kind of "Great Reset" in store for Earth via Nature and the 12,000 solar cycle/micronova, but I do think that human in the next paradigm will be operating from a different mindset, and core values much more aligned with Nature...

THE REINCARNATION SOUL-RECYCLING MATRIX TRAP – IS EARTH A SOUL-ENTRAPMENT PRISON?
BY BERNHARD GUENTHER
JANUARY 28, 2024
https://veilofreality.com/2024/01/28/the-reincarnation-soul-recycling-matrix-trap-is-earth-a-soul-entrapment-prison/?vgo_ee=XvF7ZZierhnYjuZapHmI9K4yoiVU5MEJp5G2v1LWe1Q%3D%3APPGOyREhqrS6lHHcAhqzpwZXgh1rbyOK

https://veilofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/rebirth2-1140x642.jpg

"I want to address a topic that seems to have become very popular in the fringe conspiracy scene: the idea that reincarnation is a trap of the alien hyperdimensional matrix to recycle souls to keep us entrapped, providing more “food” for the hyperdimensional overlords.

It also ties into another topic I see many people talking about: “the tunnel of light trap.” According to that theory, we should avoid going towards the light after we die since it is a trap that “recycles” us back into the Matrix and keeps us enslaved on this “prison planet.”

I’ve read about these concepts from various authors and addressed them in past articles. People keep asking me about it, so instead of referring to my articles where I have already written about it, here is a summary of what I wrote before with added commentary.

I agree with some of what these individuals talk about concerning the hyperdimensional matrix, and I don’t dismiss possible deceptions and “traps” in the “afterlife” as a whole. Readers of my work know that I’ve written extensively about the hyperdimensional matrix, occult forces, and false light deceptions over the years:

However, I don’t agree with either the “tunnel of light trap” and “reincarnation is enslavement” theories or the “prison planet” theory/idea, nor that archonic dark forces in the astral are running a “simulation” on Earth. These ideas seem to be clever fringe disinformation coming from the very source/control we try to free ourselves from, ironically. These ideas also tend to install victim/blame consciousness, the real “trap” for it disempowers via externalization.

This kind of idea also appeals to the paranoid intellect. Subconsciously and ironically one can get oneself entrapped by the forces one wants to avoid/escape from. I’ve seen a lot of people feed into (no pun intended) these ideas who also state that they “don’t want to come back here,” “this is the last time,” “I need to leave this fu**ing prison planet, and never come back” etc.

What “I” is having this thought or belief?
The question is, what “I” or part of oneself is having these beliefs and impressions of “not wanting to come back here” or even of “I don’t fit in here,” “I don’t belong here,” “I don’t want to be here,” or “I need to leave this fu**ing world”?

That’s where psychological self-awareness, knowledge, and self-work come in handy. For example, a psycho-spiritual modality like IFS (Internal Family Systems) can give you tremendous insights into where these beliefs come from. It will show you that they do not originate from the unified real “I” and the true Self but are fractured parts [protectors, exiles] of the false self or ego-personality [due to trauma/childhood wounding], which one usually mistakes for the real “I,” the Self.

Having been on this journey and down the rabbit hole of fringe conspiracy for nearly 30 years and having worked with many people in person and in groups, I know these beliefs [I used to have them, too] are usually directly a result of unconscious trauma that originated in childhood, or just emotional neglect from a parental figure. The key word is “unconscious,” meaning people are unaware of it and then project a different cause onto it or identify with the belief, as if it’s coming from their true Self.

I’ve also seen that this kind of information is mainly spread and believed by people who don’t seem to be sincerely engaged in psycho-spiritual and esoteric inner work/practices towards awakening/soul individuation and embodiment, but are mostly hooked on intellectual fringe sensationalizing information. going overboard with the rabbit hole of the hyperdimensional matrix.

I’ve written about the dangers of getting lost in the fringe conspiracy rabbit hole before when there is a lack of psycho-spiritual foundation, which requires inner work and effort. It doesn’t happen by itself nor just by reading stuff. I wrote about it in more depth in a recent article, “The Most Important Skill for 2024 And Beyond”:

There also seems to be a lack of understanding of one’s psyche, shadow, and trauma, not being able to differentiate the different parts within oneself [and disconnected from the real “I” hidden behind those false personality masks/wounded parts] as well as how psychological splitting/fragmentation can get one attached to and identified with these ideas.

Laura and I discussed this “Conspiracy Rabbit Hole Bypass” in our podcast episode “Spiritual Bypassing – A Guide To Spotting It And Stopping It.” The “conspiracy bypass” is an unconscious trauma response that shows itself by getting hooked into all kinds of fringe conspiracies without discernment as an avoidance to deal with painful feelings and unconscious childhood wounds.

https://veilofreality.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-26-at-3.57.26%E2%80%AFPM.jpeg

It relates to what Neil Kramer called getting trapped in the “second matrix” when the pursuit of head-centric information about the matrix over-rides the necessary inner work to truly “awaken” and transcend the matrix or when people mistake emotional bias for “resonating” as I’ve written before in my article “The Difference Between True and False Resonance.”

Suppose someone takes this kind of unbalanced approach (when intellectual head-centric research overrides the necessary inner work and the embodiment process). In that case, the mind can trick one and rationalize claims like the “tunnel of light/reincarnation trap.”

In short, if you believe that you or anyone is trapped here (on earth) or that you are trapped in this body, or via the reincarnation cycle”, the matrix “has you” in its grips through your paranoid mind--it’s Wetiko in action. It lacks spiritual vision, wisdom , soul embodiment, and integration in light of the evolution of consciousness.

The whole idea of mentally imagining in your current life what to do after death (“Am I gonna take a left or right turn after I’m dead to avoid the light?”) doesn’t make sense if you look at it from a soul evolutionary perspective; let alone the fact that the mind can never truly grasp the death experience.

The death process is highly individual based on the individual’s level of being and soul integration. The after-death experience is also based on HOW one is going to die and, most importantly, what state of mind/consciousness the person is in at the moment of death.

I can hardly imagine anything worse than having the fear-based thought that “there must be a trap on the other side” at the moment of death! The thought alone IS the trap and will influence the afterlife experience and may even get someone stuck as an earthbound spirit.

[NOTE: Someone who read this post on FB wrote this as a reply: “I asked my very young daughter, as we were speaking about religion and death, what she believed happens to our energy when we die. Without missing a beat, she says, “Our energy goes to what we believe in. What we support in life, we will support in death”.]

[B]Earthbound Spirits and The Interrupted Reincarnation Cycle

See also Thomas Mayer’s work [Covid Vaccines from a Spiritual Perspective: Consequences for the Soul and Spirit and for Life after Death] and Dr. William Baldwin’s work [Spirit Releasement Therapy], which I have shared and quoted in my writings and webinars throughout the years. Both have helped thousands of earthbound spirits of deceased humans stuck in the lower astral earth realm to be released into the light.

They also confirmed that your belief system, the state of consciousness/mind at the moment of death, determines much of your afterlife experience and can get you stuck earthbound, which is a HUGE issue these days, according to Thomas Mayer, also due to the COVID Jab. More and more souls are stuck as earthbound spirits, and their reincarnation cycle is being interrupted, which is very concerning. More here: “COVID Vaccines – Consequences For the Soul, Spirit, and Life After Death” and “mRNA Vaccines, Transhumanism, and the Battle For Our Souls.”

Entering the tunnel of light is necessary for the soul to progress and be freed so they don’t get stuck earthbound.

Even so-called NDE (Near-Death-Experiences) cannot be taken as “objective” evidence since it’s “tuned” to that person’s level of being and belief system who is experiencing the NDE (even if there are similarities among various NDEs). In other words, it doesn’t necessarily apply to everyone.

Nor can any alien abduction accounts by abductees be taken on face value who claim to have “seen” how the Greys and Reptilians apparently “recycle” human souls into human “containers” to keep us “trapped in the reincarnation cycle” and the “simulation.”

For the record, I don’t dismiss the alien abduction phenomenon, having researched it in depth myself. I co-produced a film about it in 2011: “UFOs, Aliens, and The Question of Contact,” and have worked with many abductees over the years.

However, to paraphrase the late abduction researcher and abductee herself, Dr. Karla Turner [who is featured in the film]:

“Due to the deceptive nature of this [alien abduction] phenomenon and fake virtual reality scenarios implanted/created [as well as fake visions/memories] by these aliens, abductees are advised not to take their experiences and what these beings show them on face value and as the “truth.””

The Level of Being and State of Consciousness at the Moment of Death determines the “Afterlife” Experience

Many people (as far as I’m aware of) who talk about and promote the “tunnel of light/reincarnation trap” and what happens after death miss the essential factor mentioned above: the level of being [level of consciousness] and state of soul integration/individuation which determines the death experience and what happens after death.

The whole point of inner esoteric inner work and Great Work in this physical earthly life and consciously engaging on the path towards awakening in this physical body is about soul individuation, working through Karma [which is also very misunderstood], and lessons from lifetime to lifetime. It’s called the Great Work for a reason.

As many truly enlightened spiritual masters have conveyed:

“If there is an evolution of consciousness in an evolutionary body and a soul inhabiting the body, a real and conscious individual, then it is evident that it is the progressive experience of that soul in Nature which takes the form of this evolution of consciousness: rebirth is self-evidently a necessary part, the sole possible machinery of such an evolution.

It is as necessary as birth itself, for without it, birth would be an initial step without a sequel, the starting of a journey without its further steps and arrival. It is rebirth that gives to the birth of an incomplete being in a body its promise of completeness and its spiritual significance.”

– Sri Aurobindo

Reincarnation has its purpose from a higher soul evolutionary perspective, so it is not a “trap”; it’s a “school.”

The more embodied you are (soul integrated) – the more you are SINCERELY [key word] engaged in the inner work to anchor the Divine (which implies consciously working through traumas/wounds/shadow/ego issues that we all have to varying degrees) – the higher your Level of Being rises, the more Free Will you gain/earn and the more awareness/consciousness you will have – all of which will determine what you experience after death.

In other words, by working on yourself and anchoring the Divine (your true soul essence, the real “I”) within you to raise your level of Being, you will “know” where “to go” after death automatically. You make the “right decision” based on where you are at in your soul evolution and frequency resonance vibration.

For example, people with a low level of being who are just starting to develop a soul (like Organic Portals) re-incarnate mechanically, for they don’t yet have an individualized soul to consciously choose the next incarnation.

On the opposite end of the coin, there are highly developed souls who come back into a body with a mission profile to be of service. Yet, they understand that by incarnating, they also risk creating more karma, which they need to work out. There are many levels of in-between, uniquely tuned to each soul.

It’s entirely self-defeating to “worry” about what to do after dying to “avoid the light” or anything else. It may only get you stuck as an earthbound spirit if you believe that “reincarnation is a trap.”

In a sense, all the esoteric teachings are about growing/preparing the soul in a body in 3D reality (since that’s the density where most progress can be made because of the law of duality and limitations) so the soul knows where to go after death; until we are at a point of evolution where we are able to transcend death itself via spiritualizing the body in complete union with the Divine.

At that point, after this natural process of soul evolution and the evolution of consciousness over many cycles in the “distant future”, no reincarnation or rebirth is necessary anymore as the world and humanity have become fully spiritualized and divinized. That is how you indeed “exit the reincarnation cycle” via soul evolution; it is not a trap in the bigger picture of Divine Will.

More about that topic here: “The Necessity to Surrender to the Divine and Spiritualize the Being.”

I don’t worry or “think” about anything about what might happen after death. At all. I don’t project any thoughts into the “future” about that, let alone any thoughts based on worry/fear.

What I am doing is my best to be sincere in my INNER process in the NOW of everyday life, to learn my lessons, heal wounds and trauma, and gain more awareness with surrender and aspiration towards the Divine, bringing the soul [true Self] to the front [key concept!] and not letting ego-personality [with all its fragmented parts] “run the show” [easier said than done].

This process is actually about facing death every single day and moment, not waiting for it and then “deciding” what to do.

Contemplating and meditating on death is an excellent practice that teaches us to use our lives wisely and consciously and not waste the opportunity that life gives us. It is not about what to do after death, but as Gurdjieff explained in his exercise “The Last Hour of Life,” what we do in each moment.

When we realize that life is impermanent, that we all will die and don’t know when, we can use that contemplation within each moment to realize that what is most important is grounding/resting ourselves deeper and deeper into our true self.

We cannot escape our karma (the consequences of our past based on the universal law of cause and effect), trauma, and wounds until we heal them and learn our lessons, taking full self-responsibility for our specific karmic situation (which is terrifying to the narcissistic ego mind to admit to). There is also no “good” or “bad” karma. There are human judgments, and the idea of Karma has also became distorted. More here: “Soul Evolution, Universal Laws, and Karma in The Body.”

Some people in the fringe movement also don’t believe in Karma, or others have a very over-simplified New Age idea of Karma, as if there is a God who judges based on human morality. I recommend reading “Rebirth and Karma” by Sri Aurobindo for an in-depth exploration of this topic by someone who is an enlightened avatar and not just a fringe conspiracy researcher [link below].

Facing The Spirits of Trauma
Much of what we experience after death is not necessarily alien entities tormenting or deceiving us, but our own (unconscious) traumas, shadow, and pain manifested as “entities,” hence the necessity to heal trauma and integrate the shadow first and foremost in everyday life right here right now in this body in this life. You will not only help/heal yourself but the world as well:

“I am going to talk about death. It is not something many people like to talk about. Do you know why? There is a fear we all feel. They say it is fear of the unknown. I say it is fear of the known but not realized consciously. When we go through life, the traumas we experience stay in us as painful knots and are tightened by the spirits of trauma. If we don’t untie these knots during our lives, we are going to have this done after our physical deaths. It doesn’t matter if we believe in the afterlife or not.

One thing you need to believe is that, with death, the experience of time changes radically. To enter death is, in a way, to enter time itself, and there you’d better be ready. There are many accounts of light and bliss, but this is only a beginning. What comes afterward is also described, but it is just not as well publicized. Angry, malicious spirits come next; they come to suck your blood and torture you by all possible means, but they are your own spirits of Trauma. They will torture you until you untie the knots in your memory and become free.

The only way to pass through their gates [after death] was to look to them in their disguised faces and say, ‘I know you. I know your name.’ You do this, then they have to let you through. You fail, they tear your limbs apart, suck your blood, tear your flesh. If you recognize their names, then are saved from a second death, from annihilation, and your existence will continue. So what am I talking about?

Any guesses yet? I expect that, at this point in my lecture, you will recognize who I am talking about. The spirits of trauma, of course, our psyches’ creations, our representations of hurts and suffering which we have accumulated and which we didn’t have a chance to heal.

The only thing I can tell you now is that we all have the space inside of us where the healing work can be done and is being done all the time for each of us—even though we are completely unaware of it.

The purpose of my talk tonight is not only educational. It serves to make some of the aspects of our work known to Western culture. The reason is that the critical time has arrived. I told you that the unhealed traumatic experiences that gain status of their own and become spirits of trauma continue their existence throughout generations. If they are not healed, they build up, connect, accelerate, enforce and support each other, and become collective entities.

In traditional cultures, rituals of transition are very important. Before going to another of life’s stages, a person must go through a deep initiation ritual, one that basically cuts off all traumatic knots from the past and clears a path for the future. Modern civilization, as you call it, has lost all its psychological rituals. It doesn’t have the means to clear its members of traumatic memories. Therefore, at some point, these accumulate on the collective level and become very dangerous. This dangerous time has come. It could become many times more dangerous now than in previous times when world wars were induced by the accumulated spirits of traumas. The purpose of my visit is to tell you that there is a great danger for all the people on the planet, but there are effective means to overcome it.”

– from “Master of Lucid Dreams” by Olga Kharitidi

The higher your level of Being (based on soul individualization/integration), the less you are subjected to mechanical karma and the more free will you gain until your body is fully spiritualized, i.e., transcend the wheel of samsara, i.e., “transcend the matrix” — which is just a school, even though it seems like a “prison” to the ego mind that lives in fear.

People who firmly believe that this 3D existence is just a “prison” also fall into the victim trap, which keeps them entrapped in the “prison,” ironically. By perceiving the world this way, they may also fail to recognize and connect with the immense beauty of life, the Divine in all.

The word and idea of the “matrix” has also become distorted since it became more popular. We discussed it in our Cosmic Matrix podcast episode #100: “Debunking Popular Myths About “The Matrix.”

I see the matrix control system as a school, and all there is are lessons to strengthen my connection to the Divine and soul embodiment [over lifetimes], but no one is here against their “free will.” Your eternal true Self/Essence wants to be here, but your conditioned wounded ego-personality living under the illusion of separation may not want to be here at all. The moment my mind believes it’s a prison, I’ve given away my power, and I’m no longer acting from my true Self.

This is based on an internal realization when I’m connected to Essence, not a mental concept/belief. It’s not “Stockholm Syndrome”. It’s being aligned with the eternal Self as a pure expression of the Divine, not the egoic personality we mistake for the true Self.

An agreement and choice were made to be “in the matrix” at some level in the “distant past” (even if done via deception/temptation, which is symbolized in “The Fall from Eden”). Ultimately, we are all here to experience soul evolution and the greater evolution of consciousness.

Some of these New Age ascension fringe ideas sound very similar to the old ascetic dogmatic religious ideas that have been used for social control and were also “inspired” by the occult adverse forces: Denying the physical world, seeing physical existence as “evil” (a prison), needing to escape (“rapture”) into “heaven,” and exiting the reincarnation (enslavement) cycle. We see the same idea nowadays, just a different package in New Age Alien fringe lingo.

The Process of Soul Individuation Over Lifetimes
Our body is indeed the vehicle for “ascension.” Still, we must anchor the divine force within ourselves by being grounded in this body and the earth to bring this plane of reality into a higher level of being/existence.

Through this process of soul integration, individuation, and spiritualization over many ages, cycles, and lifetimes, we essentially will transcend death itself while being in this body, not escaping it, as the body is transformed in the process as well.

This is a long evolutionary process over consecutive lifetimes via the process of reincarnation and ties into what Sri Aurobindo meant by stating that man, in his current state, is a transitional being on his way to becoming the Divine Gnostic being as he called it [not to be mistaken for “Gnosticism”].

We are in a transition, and our state of being, including all the matrix manipulation/interferences (seen and unseen), is part of the evolution of consciousness.

More here: “How To Navigate This Time Of Transition And The Birth Of A New Era.”

There is no error in or anything wrong with reality, nor are we trapped here. Everything we experience has its teaching function in light of the process of soul individuation.

The idea that the earth is a prison planet we need to escape from and that reincarnation is a soul trap also instills the victim/blame consciousness in us—which is precisely the disempowered state that the hyperdimensional occult forces want us to get stuck in. Ironically, it creates a “trap of agreement” to get imprisoned through your mind. It’s how Wetiko operates as well.

It may as well be that the hyperdimensional matrix forces are behind these life-denying “reincarnation is a trap” and “life on earth is a prison/simulation” ideas.

To truly transcend the matrix, we must spiritualize our being and the world—not escape life, or this world, or our bodies, and that requires sincere and deep psycho-spiritual inner work with an integral aspiration and surrender to the Divine, i.e., the Great Work of Soul embodiment becoming a conscious vessel for Divine Will is the “way out” of the matrix.

It’s not a place somewhere after death or outside the body. It’s a state of being right here but incomprehensible to the little mind and current level of consciousness of humanity.

However, few people are willing to commit to this (inner) work. It’s easier to get caught up in the mental realm of paranoid fringe conspiracy theories – and that is the real trap – the “second matrix” of one’s own paranoid disembodied and dissociated mind, most often based on unconscious trauma and psychological splitting/soul fragmentation – all of which serve as entry points for occult hostile [alien] forces to implant these “ideas,” “thoughts” and “visions.”

The topics of Reincarnation, Rebirth, and Karma are highly complex topics in themselves and there is way more to it. It goes without saying that spiritual masters who have attained higher levels of truly enlightened consciousness than any of us have more to say about it than any fringe conspiracy theorist, truther, contactee, channeler, or researcher on the internet (myself included).

For that reason, I recommend the work and revelation of Sri Aurobindo (The Last Avatar who incarnated during the Time of Transition) and his writings on Karma, Rebirth, and Reincarnation:
