Time of Transition (Bernhard Guenther & Laura Matsue)

“People who get stuck in the “New Age” or [dogmatic] religion are often engaging in spiritual bypassing. That's the core foundation and what unites them both. What I'm seeing is sometimes people take the new age pill and engage in wishful thinking, using all kinds of practices and ideas that bypass the inner psychological work. Then they don't find it, or something happens that doesn't fulfill them, and they read something about this or that, almost tempted by a different kind of spiritual materialism. And then they get into Christian beliefs, Jesus saves me and all of that. But you're still just changing from one drug to the other without engaging in the necessary true inner work.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 102, Part 2 - The New Age to Dogmatic Christian Pipeline To listen to this exclusive podcast, check the link below to sign up for our private membership section, where you will have access to over 155+ hours of *uncensored* podcasts where we dive much deeper and speak about topics that we can’t speak about on social media anymore. 👉 Sign up to tune into the full episode here: https://veilofreality.com/membership @timeoftransition

“The main source where this topic [of soulless humans] originated is in Boris Mouravieff’s Gnosis Trilogy, an esoteric Christian teaching that describes two types of humanity. The first type is Adamic man, who carries the divine spark, the potential for soul individuation and spiritual evolution. Then there’s pre-Adamic man, who lacks higher centers and operates from a group’s soul consciousness. So Adamic man and pre-Adamic men are two humanities comprising both men and women by their two human “races with different soul potential.” And this metaphysical distinction has nothing to do with race, intelligence, behavior, nation, cultures, or anything like that; it only has to do with soul potential. Everybody is on the level of a “soulless”, human organic portal until they consciously start to activate the higher centers, and bring the soul to the front. Otherwise, there’s a real danger of projection and spiritual ego.” -Bernhard Guenther Listen to this podcast episode by clicking the link below or by searching Cosmic Matrix on iTunes, Spotify, or any other podcast streamer. https://veilofreality.com/2025/07/08/npcs-soulless-humans-and-agent-smiths-tcm-157-part-1 @timeoftransition

NPCs, Soulless Humans & Agent Smiths In our new Cosmic Matrix podcast, we explore the esoteric reality behind the concept of Organic Portals (Soulless humans), NPCS, how they connect to "Agent Smith Syndrome" and the deeper metaphysical split between two types of humanity. In this episode we discuss: - Organic Portals (soulless humans) - NPCs (Non-Playable Characters - Agent Smith Syndrome Where did these ideas come from? How do they intersect with one another? How are these concepts being distorted on social media? And what is the truth behind these concepts? Bernhard wrote an extensive article over 14 years ago on his veilofreality.com website called "Organic Portals - Soulless Humans." It's still the most-read piece on his website. But he didn't invent the idea, it's based on esoteric and metaphysical source material he cited and expanded on. False Claims Circulating Online about this topic state: "Soulless humans make up 95% of people" "They're all evil or narcissists" «The vaccine turned people into soulless humans" "They were created by alien Al" These are misunderstandings of the topic fuelled by projection, spiritual superiority, and they create confusion. So what's the deeper truth behind the concept or organic portals / soulless humans? To understand it, we must go back to the roots of this concept found in Boris Mouravieff's Gnosis trilogy, which speaks of: Adamic man (soul-bearing humans) Pre-Adamic man (who are soul-less in this cycle) This split has nothing to do with external factors like intelligence but with soul potential. In his work, he outlines how soulless humans appear biologically and socially normal, but lack an individuated soul. They are animated by a group-soul structure, like many animals, but lack higher centres for conscience and spiritual discernment. They serve as transitional beings - a bridge between group-soul life and future soul individuation. They serve as transitional beings - a bridge between group-soul life and future soul individuation. But they are not evil. Most are kind, helpful, salt-of-the-earth type beings. They are simply not here to experience higher spiritual levels of awareness in this cycle, but are here to experience life through the first 3 chakras. Key distinctions: - Adamic humans have a Divine spark and potential for awakening. - Pre-Adamic humans do not yet possess that spark - functioning from group-soul consciousness. But... key nuance - even Adamic (souled humans) act like pre-Adamic humans until they engage in the process of inner work to develop the real "I" (the individuated soul) How does this connect to "Agent Smith syndrome"? According to Boris Mouravieff, "the Matrix" (what he calls "the general law") pushes back through unconscious individuals around you, especially through soulless humans, once you begin to wake up. Like, in the Matrix, how Agent Smith could insert himself into different people in an attempt to keep Neo asleep. This is when friends, family, coworkers, can suddenly act like “agents" of the system, trying to pull you back into unconsciousness and derail you on the path of awakening. This is not out of ill will, but because of what Mouravieff called "the general law" working through people to keep humanity asleep. Since this topic requires nuance and depth, we intend to demystify it with taking knowledge from several spiritual traditions: Esoteric Christianity, Eastern philosophy, and Rudolf Steiner's Anthroposophy Listen here: https://veilofreality.com/2025/07/08/npcs-soulless-humans-and-agent-smiths-tcm-157-part-1/

“Encoded within the daimon is the creative spirit, the inner voice, the guiding spirit, the muse that helps us find our voice and vocation. But if we turn away from the daimon and say, Oh, I’m not good enough, not smart enough, not talented enough, then the daimon, which is the source of the creative spirit, constellates negatively and becomes a demon. The greatest poison in the psyche is unexpressed creativity. The daimon, which could be our savior, is the connecting energy to the higher self, that connects us with the creative source of the universe, with our genius, and with our Buddha nature. If we repress our creative expression, whether it’s because of our own stories or because the world is oppressing our creativity, the daimon becomes a demon. And that demon is another way of describing Wetiko.” -Paul Levy Episode 111, Part 2 - Undreaming Wetiko, The Nightmare Mind-Virus - Paul Levy To listen to this exclusive podcast, check the link below to sign up for our private membership section, where you will have access to over 155+ hours of *uncensored* podcasts where we dive much deeper and speak about topics that we can’t speak about on social media anymore. 👉 Sign up to tune into the full episode here: https://veilofreality.com/membership @timeoftransition

“Find spaces both online and offline where you can just talk to real humans and share your true self. We need to foster human relationships and do tangible things with people that don’t involve screens, like going for a hike, working in the garden, walking the dog together, and even cleaning together. It’s important to do these little things that we take for granted and share these experiences with people in an embodied way – and to honor your nervous system because your nervous system thrives in relationships with other humans. It creates safety, and it creates co-regulation. We take so many aspects of this for granted in this increasingly individualized and isolated world.” -Laura Matsue Listen to this podcast episode by clicking the link below or by searching Cosmic Matrix on iTunes, Spotify, or any other podcast streamer. https://veilofreality.com/2025/06/06/the-psychological-spiritual-and-esoteric-aspects-of-the-ai-revolution-tcm-155-part-1 @timeoftransition

My father escaped socialist-communist East Germany in 1964 after enduring imprisonment. For 55 years, he couldn’t speak about it. It made me reflect deeply on freedom, what it truly means, and how easily we take it for granted. Read it here: https://bernhardguenther.substack.com/p/the-escape-that-changed-everything

“I can do all the physical health stuff, but without a spiritual practice, I don’t feel at my best. I think a lot of people are like that. In a daily meditation practice, you are, number one, trying to clear the unprocessed emotions held in your body from the day, and you are also trying to establish the witness. You learn how to witness your thoughts and bring yourself back to the body again and again and again. That’s the practice. You are not just your body, you’re not just your thoughts, and you’re not just your breath or your energy. Beneath and within all these is the unchanging, blissful Self.” -Laura Matsue Listen to this podcast episode by clicking the link below or by searching Cosmic Matrix on iTunes, Spotify, or any other podcast streamer. https://veilofreality.com/2025/03/04/the-alchemy-of-physical-and-spiritual-health-tcm-149-part-1 @timeoftransition

“There's no easy road to authenticity. Authenticity is not just this gateway to more love and authentic relationships, where everything's going great. No, it will actually expose relationships that are not working. It may disrupt relationships, and your authenticity may trigger people. There's no such thing as painless authenticity, as Gabor Mate said. In fact, from a bigger picture perspective, the whole matrix program wants people to be inauthentic and not authentic. It programs people to stay and not question authority, to just go along. Don't trust your gut feelings, don't trust your intuition, and don't have original thoughts.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 66, Part 2 - Living Truthfully in a World of Lies To listen to this exclusive podcast, check the link below to sign up for our private membership section, where you will have access to over 155+ hours of *uncensored* podcasts where we dive much deeper and speak about topics that we can’t speak about on social media anymore. 👉 Sign up to tune into the full episode here: https://veilofreality.com/membership @timeoftransition

“It’s time to create, thrive, and be the “seed people” of the new world we envision. Focusing on negative timelines in black-pill territory [belongs to a timeline we don’t need to return to]. It’s time to move from paranoia to pronoia. It is realizing that the Divine/Universe is conspiring in your favor, and life is not happening to you but for you. The illusion that we are “independent” from the external world is the hardest to break. It requires harnessing your creative power with vision, focus, healthy optimism, and following your bliss. Action and activating the will are needed, too. The most valuable assets in the information age are your ability to focus, hold attention, and be very discerning about what and to whom you give attention and what beliefs you buy into (many of them are unconscious).” -Bernhard Guenther Listen to this podcast episode by clicking the link below or by searching Cosmic Matrix on iTunes, Spotify, or any other podcast streamer. https://veilofreality.com/2024/12/29/how-to-thrive-in-2025-a-psychospiritual-guide-tcm-145-part-1 @timeoftransition

“Western society is in a state of decay, which is normal and natural. Civilizations move through different seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. And just like the seasons of life, civilizations are cyclical. When we think about evolution, it’s the changing of form, structure, and the change of anything, evolution is a continuous state of becoming. It’s happening whether we’re engaging with it or not. People will ask, why is society going this way? Why do things seem like they’re getting worse? Because part of evolution is involution, which means that for a change to occur, there must be involution first, which is the destruction of something that already exists. There is a form of destruction of what already exists happening because there has been stagnation. So, in order for us to evolve into a new form, we actually need to destroy what is currently there.” -Laura Matsue Episode 110, Part 2 - A Guide to Spiritual Warfare and the Great Awakening To listen to this exclusive podcast, check the link below to sign up for our private membership section, where you will have access to over 155+ hours of *uncensored* podcasts where we dive much deeper and speak about topics that we can’t speak about on social media anymore. 👉 Sign up to tune into the full episode here: https://veilofreality.com/membership @timeoftransition

“Here is a reflection to think about or to journal: what do you need to say no to? What are you no longer available for? What yes might your no be making space for? Because the more that we take on things that don't resonate with our own body, feelings, and soul, the less time we have for the things that do. And then think about what values, roles, and relationships no longer feel aligned with your soul, that you might need to let go of in order to continue this journey of descent into the underworld where the heroine must reclaim her body, soul, and feminine traits.” -Laura Matsue Listen to this podcast episode by clicking the link below or by searching Cosmic Matrix on iTunes, Spotify, or any other podcast streamer. https://veilofreality.com/2025/06/21/how-the-heros-journey-is-different-for-women-tcm-156-part-1 @timeoftransition

All these aspects are mistakenly labeled as spiritual and tend to be accepted at face value. One is easily misled into the astral circus thinking that it is ‘spiritual’. The whole new-age community becomes enamored of an endless array of ‘masters’, ‘ETs’ and legendary figures, most of whom cause one to go weak with muscle testing [out of integrity, based on falsehood].” - David Hawkins, The Eye of the I

Luciferian Temptation Disguised as Ascension. From an occult and esoteric perspective, thinking you’re awake while lost in delusion is more dangerous than being asleep without pretending to be awake. Overestimating your level of consciousness and inflating your identity through labels like “starseed,” “gridworker,” “lightworker,” or “indigo” creates a false sense of specialness. This blocks the humility needed for sincere, grounded psycho-spiritual work, which is the foundation of real awakening. Your true soul-being is not identified with any labels; only the ego is. The spiritual ego is harder to break than the ego of someone still asleep in the matrix. This is the root of spiritual narcissism, which is becoming increasingly common. The illusion of being special or chosen becomes a mask for unresolved childhood wounds, insecurity, and unhealed trauma. Whether it’s claiming to be an ambassador for ET races, a chosen contactee for the Galactic Federation, a starseed on a special mission, or a self-righteous reborn Christian convinced they have special access to God, it all feeds the same inflation. Any identity that reinforces specialness and attachment to spiritual labels becomes a trap. It also opens the door to hostile forces. This is the Luciferian temptation. Hostile entities, often disguised as benevolent beings, feed on this self-importance and spiritual inflation. They reinforce the illusion of specialness through flattery and seductive downloads that keep the person trapped in spiritual delusion. The New Age astral circus is filled with alluring deceptions, including channelings of alien beings, extraterrestrial federations, and assertions of access to special light codes and DNA upgrades to facilitate “ascension.” Many people accept these ideas at face value. The belief that “resonance equals truth” becomes a dangerous justification for spiritual bypassing and occult manipulation. As Gurdjieff said, the most dangerous state is to dream you are awake while still fully asleep. In that condition, the person believes they are awake and spreading truth, when in reality, they have become a puppet for forces they are not even aware of. That kind of delusion is harder to break than ignorance because it is protected by pride, a sense of specialness, and an inflated spiritual identity that believes itself to be awake and has access to “inside” or “special” knowledge. This creates what esoteric traditions call a false foundation, which is more difficult to break down than a generic false personality. The ego structure fuses with a spiritual identity and mistakenly believes itself to be awake. At best, you get distracted, waste some time and energy, but eventually learn some valuable lessons. At worst, you become entrapped and regress while dreaming of being awake. The esoteric traditions warn against getting lost in the astral occult maze, where deceptive beings reside. Godspeed. Bernhard Guenther ——————— “So preserve yourselves, my brothers, from the calamities of this place [the astral realm], for distinguishing it is extremely difficult! Souls find it sweet, and then within it they are duped, since they become completely enamored of it.” - Al-Arabi (Sufi Master) ——————— “Many ‘spiritual’ teachings come from ‘astral’ realms of consciousness, which in themselves can be seductive, unending, and pleasurable, but they do not lead to enlightenment/true awakening. Some misleading figures claim special private instructions from God [or ETs] and become self-proclaimed prophets and visionaries. Avoid the attractive but irrelevant. There are endless astral realms and universes, each with its own masters, spiritual hierarchy, and belief systems. Many are quite intriguing, gratifying, even joyful and thrilling, but the unwary can be easily entrapped by these fascinating, esoteric doctrines and beings. These distractions all rely on form and specialness [appealing to ego]. The whole field takes on a carnival-like atmosphere, with reference to spaceships, UFOs, extraterrestrials, and prophecies.

I posted this before but it bears repeating. The number one regret people have on their deathbed is: “I wish I had the courage to live a more truthful and authentic life, not what others expected of me. I didn’t live my own life.” Here are six more common regrets people have shared before dying, based on the work of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, who worked with thousands of terminally ill people and helped them transition: “I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.” “I wish I had been more loving to the people who mattered most.” “I wish I had not spent so much time working.” “I wish I had taken more risks.” “I wish I had chosen work that was meaningful for me, not just for money, security, and status.” “I wish I’d allowed myself to love more and let go of pride and resentment.” These are things to contemplate, especially now, in an age of endless distractions and information overload. As Gurdjieff said, the moment you’re born, you live on borrowed time. And we never know when our time will come.

“Entities feed off certain frequencies; they feed on all the projections and the emotional loosh, the friction between human beings, their lower nature, and frequency. It’s sustenance for them. It’s very easy for people who excessively and compulsively use social media to become unconscious portals for these occult hyperdimensional entities and hostile forces working through them. Hence, the Agent Smith syndrome. Anyone can easily become a portal for them and then target others by means of distraction, personal attacks, or trolling. These entities feed on all kinds of narcissistic behavior, self-importance, and attention-seeking, as well as projections, triggers, passive aggressiveness, gossip, and slander in online conflicts and arguments that get personal very quickly.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 95, Part 2 - Learn How to Do Shadow Work on Social Media To listen to this exclusive podcast, check the link below to sign up for our private membership section, where you will have access to over 155+ hours of *uncensored* podcasts where we dive much deeper and speak about topics that we can’t speak about on social media anymore. 👉 Sign up to tune into the full episode here: https://veilofreality.com/membership @timeoftransition

“Many women have forgotten how to foster themselves, meaning they don't take care of their emotions and inner life. They may realize that their drive to succeed has been driven by someone else's goals.   For them, it's usually driven by a deep unconscious need to please their parents, especially how they have internalized their father. And most of all, they've learned how to succeed by emulating masculine traits, but they've had to cut off parts of their feminine nature to do so.   This realization begins a process of initiation where the woman has to descend into the underworld to retrieve the parts of herself that she's cut off. She has to meet her grief, her rage, and her dark feminine side. It can take weeks, months, and even years to go through this, but most of all, she needs to learn being instead of doing.” -Laura Matsue Listen to this podcast episode by clicking the link below or by searching Cosmic Matrix on iTunes, Spotify, or any other podcast streamer. https://veilofreality.com/2025/06/21/how-the-heros-journey-is-different-for-women-tcm-156-part-1 @timeoftransition

“A big aspect of Jungian shadow work and inner and psychological work, is facing the potential for evil within us. This is a humbling and confronting process, and you need healthy ego strength to do this work. An individual with solid ego strength approaches challenges with a sense that he or she can overcome the problem and even grow as a result. That’s really what you need to understand in light of what’s happening in the world. It’s also my motto, so to speak, all there is are lessons, everything can be a teaching function. From a deeper spiritual, esoteric perspective, people need to understand these evil forces provide a deeper teaching function; they are all we need to learn in order to graduate to the next level in our evolutionary journey. If you can face the evil within, you can contribute to the healing of evil in this world, transmuting it, and bringing in the light. The more you understand the evil within you, the more you can face it externally.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 98, Part 2 - What Facing Evil Can Teach You To listen to this exclusive podcast, check the link below to sign up for our private membership section, where you will have access to over 155+ hours of *uncensored* podcasts where we dive much deeper and speak about topics that we can’t speak about on social media anymore. 👉 Sign up to tune into the full episode here: https://veilofreality.com/membership @timeoftransition

“When a woman’s need to achieve becomes an addiction, she may experience a physical illness or an accident that potentially stops her in her tracks and makes her ask, what is all of this that I’m doing for? Because in spite of all her achievements and having everything that the world told her would make her happy, she feels empty inside. Maybe she feels lonely. Betrayed. She often feels like she lost something because she has. When a woman rejects the feminine and its negative qualities, she creates an imbalance within. In Jungian terms, she is now animus possessed. She is over-identified with logic and efficiency but at the cost of a connection to her body, feelings, intuition, and feminine nature. She might even consciously mourn this loss. She might notice a loss of time for family and creative projects and feel a numbing of her body and emotions.” -Laura Matsue Listen to this podcast episode by clicking the link below or by searching Cosmic Matrix on iTunes, Spotify, or any other podcast streamer. https://veilofreality.com/2025/06/21/how-the-heros-journey-is-different-for-women-tcm-156-part-1 @timeoftransition

How The Hero’s Journey is Different for Women Many women have been drawn to feminism as a knee-jerk reaction to patriarchy in a male-dominated world. In that process, many lost connection to their sacred femininity. As a counterbalance, we’ve seen a cultural and social shift to the other extreme with the rise of the “trad wife”, the “dream woman” for the conservative male crowd, who is expected to be a homestead mom, raise the kids at home, cook, look pretty, and serve the man. This oversimplified dynamic is also reflected in the polarity relationship movement, which promotes a shallow view of male-female dynamics, claiming that women need to submit to their leading men, who are supposed to be providers. All these approaches are mostly externally focused and based on superficial personality traits and role-playing of how a feminine woman and a masculine man are supposed to act. Then there’s the “Divine Union” and New Age approach to what a “Divine woman/Goddess” or "Divine masculine" is supposed to be, full of expectations and “shoulds.” It’s a misappropriation and externalization of Hieros Gamos, which is actually an inner process and may or may not result in an outer relationship. Even if a woman seems to have it “all”: the husband, children, looks, a career, a house, money. It all looks perfect on the outside (as many like to portray on social media), but she can still feel depressed, lost, and unfulfilled inside, cut off from her soul being, masked by an idealized image presented to the world. On the other side, many women are lonely and jaded, secretly or openly jealous of other women, and projecting blame onto men for their own sense of emptiness and unfulfillment. The loss of essence and sacred femininity, along with over-identification with the physical body (driven by social programming), shows up in the rise of cosmetic surgeries, botox, and fillers, which have become normalized, even among women in their 20s and 30s. To reconnect with her essence and soul, a woman must go on her Heroine’s Quest, which differs from the Hero’s Journey popularized by Joseph Campbell (which is more geared toward men). Our latest podcast is a powerful exploration of the Heroine’s Journey, a psycho-spiritual map of feminine awakening. The Heroine’s path is an inward descent a woman goes through in her process of individuation, marked by the rejection and eventual reclamation of the feminine, the healing of the mother wound, and the integration of a new inner masculine, her animus. I also highly recommend that men listen to this episode. I learned a lot from it as Laura mapped out the journey. While centered on the feminine experience, this journey is deeply valuable for men. It offers insight into the inner world of women, which can help a man support the women in his life and enrich relationships through conscious awareness and shared themes such as soul loss, transformation, and integration. This episode also includes practices and reflective questions for each step of the Heroine’s Journey.
