Time of Transition (Bernhard Guenther & Laura Matsue)

“When we react to a traumatic event, it can show up as a primitive defense, which we all have. They tend to show up under stress, but they distort reality heavily and can lead to more chaos in relationships rather than integration and healing from the traumatic event. An example of a primitive defense would number one be denial, “This event didn’t happen, it’s fake.” If reality is too overwhelming, the psyche needs to say it didn’t happen at all to defend itself against the horror. This protects against terror and grief but tends to cut us off from empathy and a sense of mourning with others. There’s splitting, which is black-and-white thinking, “All of them are evil. Anyone grieving is brainwashed. It’s the left’s fault, the right’s fault, the deep state, or Israel’s fault.” The world is divided into good and evil, and this gives you a sense of certainty in the moment of chaos but tends to fuel the hatred for those you see as the other side. There’s projection, which exists to offload unbearable feelings. It protects our own sense of helplessness or fear by placing it on a scapegoat or a group we don’t like, and this relieves the tension but fuels paranoid thinking and blame. Then there’s dehumanization: “He got what he deserved.” Or cheering violence. So, pain and fear are numbed by treating others as less than human. These defenses tend to show up after mass traumatic events that leave us feeling overwhelmingly helpless. Primitive defenses are the fastest way to not feel helpless. We need to understand that there’s an intelligence behind the way that we respond to things that are in service to protecting ourselves against unbearable pain. It short-circuits any feelings like grief or vulnerability and replaces them with certainty, rage, or just feeling detached. That is a protective mechanism, but the consequence is that these primitive defenses spread contagiously. One person’s denial or projections permit others to adopt the same attitude. It creates this mass psychosis of echo chambers that tend to fracture community bonds at the exact moment when solidarity and empathy are most needed. And they tend to create the secondary trauma of polarization, where people are not only traumatized by the event, but also by how others responded, which is what we’re seeing now.” -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/2025/09/27/the-eclipse-mass-trauma-and-the-battle-for-consciousness-tcm-162-part-1 @timeoftransition

However, without inner alignment and a fundamental shift in consciousness, people can fall into the illusion of being awake while actually lost in a mental rabbit hole, subjected to psychic, archetypal, and occult forces as well as manifestations of the collective and personal shadows they are unaware of. It relates to being lost in Plato's allegory of the cave, mesmerized by the shadows on the wall while "dreaming of being awake." [Note: I'm not implying that the very distorted and oversimplified New Age idea of "reality creation" or the corrupt "law of attraction" is the answer by ignoring evil and just focusing on positive thoughts as if you live in a solipsistic bubble. Hawkins’ work has also often been misused in this way for spiritual bypassing.] These are just some initial thoughts. I will write an in-depth article on this topic soon. We also talk bout about it in our recent podcast "The Eclipse, Mass Trauma and the Battle for Consciousness": https://veilofreality.com/2025/09/27/the-eclipse-mass-trauma-and-the-battle-for-consciousness-tcm-162-part-1/

People have asked me about the 1998 movie "Snake Eyes" in the context of “predictive programming," and the Charlie Kirk assassination I'm aware of that movie. I have also been aware of other synchronistic movie scripts, clips, or Simpsons episodes, the infamous “Illuminati cards,” and other examples regarding false flag attacks, shootings, and so on, which could be seen as “predictive programming.” This goes all the way back to the movie "The Matrix," where Neo’s ID has the date 9/11/2001. I used to use this clip to “expose” 9/11 as an inside job over 20 years ago, among other things. I also used to call it “predictive programming,” but I no longer do. That label carries an assumption that “someone” is orchestrating everything and “programming” the masses at all times. While I don’t dismiss “predictive programming” entirely in the context of social engineering, it is shortsighted and oversimplified to treat it as an absolute conclusion. Considering Jung’s concept of synchronicity, its relationship to the collective unconscious, quantum physics, and the interconnectedness of everything, it is possible that many other explanations exist, even from a karmic evolutionary perspective, without assuming intentional programming. The mind struggles to reconcile this because it is stuck in a Newtonian, materialistic paradigm of linear time and cause and effect, viewing the world as separate from oneself. I recommend reading "The Eye of the I" by David Hawkins. He lays out the illusion of the Newtonian cause-and-effect paradigm, which most humans are caught in. I see many people get stuck in the “predictive programming” rabbit hole, as I did too. It does not tend to resolve anything and often creates more paranoia and mental loops that may satisfy the conspiracy intellect, which believes it is “solving a puzzle” (receiving some dopamine hits for it) in the search for the boogeyman. Yet have you noticed that nothing truly changes in the long run? No one is ever really fully “revealed” or arrested, and the conspiracies, evil, psy-ops, and wrongdoing continue even as the ego believes it has achieved something by chasing the dangling carrot of “conspiracy revelation.” There will always be more to hook you in and “figure out.” Why? Because there is no shift in consciousness and no inner transformation to positively impact the world. It all remains a mental and external exercise. This also relates to what I wrote in my article “Facing The Deep State And Psy-Op Within Yourself – The Essence Of Shadow Work” in the context of Wetiko: […] Most people, normies and self-proclaimed “awake” truthers alike, indulge in their projections (sometimes truthers even more than normies, ironically). The mind and reality, by extension through the process of projective identification, will always provide them with a “reason” and “justification” to indulge in their projections, augmented by thought injections from occult forces that trigger the unconscious shadow to feed off the emotionally charged projections of the suppressed shadow. As Paul Levy explained in his work, this is also the modus operandi of Wetiko. It tags into the shadow and shows you what you want to see, so it can feed off you even more. That is why trying to expose all the lies, psy-ops, and conspiracies “out there” in the world becomes an endless feedback loop. “You” and the collective psyche, drawing from the collective unconscious and your personal shadow, will “dream up” more of the same while living under the illusion that the outside world is separate from “you.” […] - from https://veilofreality.com/2024/07/19/facing-the-deep-state-and-psy-op-within-yourself-the-essence-of-shadow-work/ "Awakening" doesn't happen by trying to resolve or expose endless conspiracy theories. I’m not implying that we should simply look away and ignore it all.

In our latest podcast, Laura and I explore the assassination of Charlie Kirk through the lens of astrology, trauma, and spiritual warfare, examining both the symbolic meaning of the Virgo–Pisces eclipse and the various conspiracy theories within the truth-seeking community. We discuss how mass trauma, dissociation, and the collective shadow influence our era, while highlighting embodiment, discernment, and individuation as the path forward. Part one begins with the assassination of Charlie Kirk and Erika Kirk’s message of forgiveness, framed within the Virgo–Pisces eclipse themes of martyrdom, sacrifice, and compassion. We explore Charlie and Erika’s astrology, the symbolism of the eclipse, and how these archetypes mirror collective lessons of discernment, grounding, and spiritual practice. The episode questions the official narrative while also critiquing extreme “everything is fake” claims in the truth-seeking community, showing how paranoia, projection, and primitive defenses arise after trauma. We also examine how hostile spiritual forces and COINTELPRO psy-ops exploit trauma, and why the presence of Pluto in Aquarius signals an era of upheaval, fragmentation, and an urgent need for sincere inner work and true discernment ..and more LISTEN HERE: https://veilofreality.com/2025/09/27/the-eclipse-mass-trauma-and-the-battle-for-consciousness-tcm-162-part-1/

“The true measure of how developed one’s soul is and how integrated and embodied we are, is mirrored by how we react to everyday circumstances. It shows itself in our emotional reactions (or dissociation, numbness, suppression) and how easily we get triggered. Thus, we blame others and external conditions or project our unconscious shadow onto others. The point of spiritual, psychological, and somatic work is not about eliminating challenges (even though they might be alleviated to some degree) but rather about how we change, transmute, and transform by facing life and reality directly and use any challenge to bring forth the true Self and bring us closer to God. Thus, we become less identified with ego structure, more "objective" about ourselves and the world (we stop lying to ourselves or keep blaming the external world) and face any challenge with full self-responsibility and empowerment. This process is also the gateway to real Love. Childish and immature love is conditional and demands attention and validation from others. If it doesn’t get what it wants, it blames others for it or itself for not “being good enough,” getting stuck in self-pity, poor-me, shame, self-importance, entitlement, and narcissism. Mature higher love is unconditional, takes self-responsibility, and loves even if it doesn’t get what it wants or prefers. We all have the immature child within us, acting out at various times. In fact, most adults are children in adult suits. If we can spot it, it’s a chance to heal this wounded child, which can also relate to past life trauma and not necessarily related to your current childhood in your present lifetime. This [inner] child needs to experience, express, and feel repressed emotions such as sadness, fear, anger, guilt, shame, etc., without projecting them externally or suppressing them. This process needs to happen somatically—through the body. You cannot think yourself through it, as this only results in more self-deception. Intellectual recognition of your “issues” is not enough and is only the beginning of a much deeper emotional and somatic inner process.” -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/2025/05/04/the-spiritual-warriors-path-of-navigating-the-spiritual-realms-tcm-153-part-1 @timeoftransition

“From an occult perspective on psychic attacks, it doesn’t just happen through people who have negative projections towards you. It’s the topic of all topics, as Don Juan called it. In other realms, higher densities, and in the lower astral, some beings feed off of lower vibrational emotional loosh, and they want to trigger you via a psychic attack. When you get triggered and you meet a certain loosh emotion based on your projections and triggers, that’s food for these entities. It’s kind of the setup for the Matrix control system, which we see worldwide, and it’s the whole reason for humans pitting against humans, beliefs against beliefs. The shadow dance happens with all this friction, and the triggers create a certain frequency that these beings feed off of - all the anxiety, chaos, drama, and the shadow projections. It also happens through other people, the Agent Smith syndrome, with other entities working through them, because you may be a threat to the matrix and establishment or consensus ego, the slumber of the masses. There’s also an occult law from an esoteric perspective. When you’re on the path of truly sincerely wanting to awaken, seeking truth, and coming closer to your inner being, there will be interferences from other beings and entities that don’t want you to wake up because they don’t want to lose their food source. And these forces don’t want you to speak truth or wake up, hence a psychic attack happens to weaken you, to discourage, or implant fear or paranoia within you, tagging into your insecurity. You have to understand these forces are most often more aware of your weaknesses, blind spots, and inner issues than you are. Especially at the beginning of your journey, if you have no self-awareness. And that’s why they target you, to keep you quiet, so you don’t step out of line.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 116, Part 2 - How to Protect Yourself From Psychic Attacks 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 160+ 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 real psy-op is the “conspiracy” that it is all fake: Charlie Kirk is alive. Erica, the entire Turning Point crew, and hundreds of other people are “in on it,” just acting and fooling you. From a Deep State COINTELPRO (Counter-Intelligence Program) perspective, it is entirely possible. I have written about these kinds of operations over ten years ago already. There are Counterintelligence Operations designed to inject fake conspiracies into the “truth movement” to steer truthers away from truth and reality, making them believe they are uncovering a big “secret” and are “awake.” This ties into MKUltra as well. The Deep State psy-op operators understand the psychological weakness of many truthers who, especially over the past five years, have become highly suggestible. Their over-paranoid state of mind leads them to believe that everything is staged, scripted, and acted. These operators exploit the fact that we are aware we are constantly being lied to, amplifying that perception to the extreme for their own purposes. It is COINTELPRO 101. They hardly have to do anything. One “seed” is enough, and the insanity spreads on its own, fueled by an egregore-like entity that infects truthers who resonate with it. They can also mistake that resonance for their intuition. Most people are already in a dissociated, disembodied, and dysregulated state, and conspiracy truthers who spend most of their time on the internet and social media “researching” are no exception, especially if they are not engaged in any embodied inner psycho-spiritual work. It is easy to program a dissociated mind carrying unconscious trauma. That's MKUltra 101. It doesn't just happen behind closed doors in ritualistic settings, but also out in the open and in the collective. It affects "normies" and "truthers" alike, especially if there is a lack of self-knowledge. When the mind no longer trusts reality because of psychological splitting, it becomes highly vulnerable to fake conspiracies. This amplifies schizoid tendencies, convincing people they are awake and on the right track while they laugh at the rest of us, believing we are the ones who are asleep and gullible. It is no surprise that many truthers who fall into this trap also lack emotional intelligence, can be hostile, and develop a kind of grandiosity. It is the same mindset we see with the Flat Earth phenomenon. It is MKUltra trauma-based mind programming combined with social engineering, and this new wave of truthers is more vulnerable to it than ever before. I am not trying to sound pessimistic, but seeing how many people are traumatized without realizing it, convinced they are “awake,” yet trapped in unconscious defense mechanisms that keep them disembodied and imprisoned in the mental labyrinth of the matrix, I can tell you we will see more psychosis and collective insanity in the years ahead. This will be intensified by occult hostile forces and entities feeding the already fragmented mind with thought injections, hardening false beliefs, nonsense conspiracies, and feeding off the grandiosity, anxiety, projections, frenzy, and delusion. It brings spiritual warfare to a whole new level. Soul embodiment and the ability to discern within yourself what is a shadow part, a wounded sub-personality, an inner child part, a defense mechanism, a shadow projection, an entity interference, a thought injection, an egregore, or your true Self in alignment with the Divine have never been more important. Without that discernment and inner differentiation, you risk losing yourself over the next twenty years, as Pluto in Aquarius will only intensify mental instability in those who are already ungrounded. In short: Know Thyself. Without it, your outer “discernment” will always be compromised. Godspeed. Bernhard Guenther

“In a spiritual war, your level of consciousness is your ultimate weapon and protection. The higher you rise, the less you can be controlled by fear and shame. The war is spiritual, but it works through psychological operations. These operations target those anchored in lower states of consciousness—where guilt, shame, and lack of self-knowledge thrive. The only way to rise above this is to raise your consciousness. When you do, you cut off the food source for the spiritual beings hostile to humanity. And when you cut off their food source, you stop battling the shadows on the wall (like in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave). Instead, you reclaim your life force and energy. You can then use that energy to create from a space of love. And through you, God’s vision for a new earth can begin to take form.” -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/2024/09/11/how-to-raise-your-level-of-consciousness-tcm-138-part-1 @timeoftransition

“Soul embodiment is key to counteract the technocratic takeover, transhumanism, the elimination of the soul, and the alien invasion through our bodies. I can see how, even through the COVID jab [and all the trauma and fear over the last five years], they tried to disconnect us from our creative spirit, the daimon, and our soul essence. They want to use us to create their reality through us. And how do they create their reality through us? When we go along with these trends, just because everybody else is doing it. The way out is to reject that via a conscious connection to the divine, to our daimon, and to our spirit. We also do it by removing anything that’s in the way, hence it goes back to the psychospiritual work, shadow work, trauma work, and ancestral work, to reclaim our creative spirit, the daimon. We need to nurture that connection, to access it, and also to understand it. It’s not under your ego’s will or whims of grandiosity and self-importance, that’s not how it works. And that’s how these forces get us as well, when we identify with our creative impulse and want to get attention for it. Then the devil comes in and gives it to us, appealing to our lower nature.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 104, Part 2 - The A.I.

“We are seeing the rise of a toxic form of feminism right now [on the left], and ironically, the red-pilled right, and the toxic feminists are both showing the same trait, which in Jungian terms is being animus possessed. They’re both demonstrating very rigid ways of thinking and of seeing the world. They over-identify with their opinions and become domineering, argumentative, judgmental, and very stuck in their head. Then they turn into persecutors against each other, cut off from the receptivity and the feeling nature of the feminine. We have the devouring mother, and then we have the abusive father in this kind of shadow dance politically now. And I think that one of the deepest healings would be working on animus integration for women. Which is coming into a relationship with the empowered feminine rather than the distortion of the tyrannical, controlling, or overprotective form. This animus possession turns women from victims to persecutors and keeps them stuck in the drama triangle. So it’s really about not falling into any of these roles, the victim, persecutor, or the rescuer, so we can step out of these disempowering cycles that are draining our lives and creating real change. True empowerment doesn’t come from blaming someone.” -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/2025/08/24/how-to-move-from-victimhood-to-empowerment-tcm-160-part-1 @timeoftransition

“There’s obvious polarization happening; there is endless divide and conquer, pitting humans against each other via tribalism and their identifications with their ideologies. This polarization also creates a certain loosh frequency, via the emotional upset and negative emotions they create, where people endlessly project on each other, which is also food for occult hostile forces, which is really deep and far-reaching. So it’s important to understand the concept of holding the tension of opposites and how it relates to shadow work, the foundation of Jung’s work, and the process of individuation. Which is not just to merely become an individual in the context of society, but to individualize, to connect your True Self, the real “I” that is not identified with either side, that’s the core work. The foundation of this practice is also related to shadow work in terms of retrieving your projections or becoming aware of your projections and triggers [in the first place]. It’s a prerequisite to be self-aware and understand when you get triggered and how you externally project and then having the discipline to retrieve those projections so you don’t project your shadow onto others. Because as long as we keep doing that, we keep fueling this madness in the world. And it’s coming out, not only through our interpersonal conflicts, but in global war.” -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/2024/05/10/how-can-we-heal-this-polarized-world-tcm-130-part-1 @timeoftransition

“The more individuated you become, the less likely you are to find people who can relate to you in ordinary society. The point is not to find a way to fit in again but to stay with the process to uncover a real part of yourself that allows you to bring something new to this world by realizing your true nature. Eventually, you will no longer feel lonely; you will feel comfort in solitude - and you will have an inner companion, an inner teacher, who becomes your constant companion. This inner teacher will guide you to express your unique nature creatively to the world. This creative expression of your unique nature will bring you back into the world. Yet, this time, you will be changed: you will no longer be a person strictly of the times you live in but more an individuated soul with a specific message that you can then spread to anyone open to hearing it. You will have a gift to bring back from your journey beyond the ordinary world; you can then “be in the world, but not of the world.” -Laura Matsue Episode 109, Part 2 - Becoming Who You Are Meant To Be 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 160+ 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

“Hyperdimensional forces can mimic divine beings and present all kinds of false spiritual experiences to mislead seekers. They can shapeshift and appear as ascended masters, like Jesus, angels, positive aliens, Pleiadians, or enlightened sages. In the realm of the New Age, it happens with a lot of channeled material, aliens, all kinds of ET races, and imposter spirits. They are tricksters and shape shifters who show off by offering people “special codes” or “light language,” making people believe that they’re special or chosen to receive these messages, and others can only get them through you. That’s a very common trap because it appeals to the insecurity of a person or to narcissism, so to speak, and the ego. They also adjust their form or “language” to the belief system of the person they are targeting to gain consent to be invited in, which ties into an occult concept called a trap of agreement. So they get permission based on the law of free will to “take them over,” even if it’s unconscious permission. And it’s very important to understand that the hostile forces don’t appear like demonic monsters and the type of things you see in Hollywood movies, not at all. Most often, they appear as extremely attractive, wise and powerful, promising power, knowledge, and even psychic abilities, but it’s in exchange for some sort of loyalty or submission.” -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/2025/09/09/deepening-spiritual-discernment-in-an-age-of-deception-tcm-161-part-1 @timeoftransition

“Shadow work is the name of the game, but before we can apply shadow work, we need to understand the basics of it, because projections are coming up all the time, be it on social media or in person.   We can trigger each other and get annoyed by another person, and even with little things, there can be annoyance and irritation. And right away, you might want to judge the other person or put them down.   Shadow projection can also happen not just verbally or by typing, but through your own thought projections. It can really be like a psychic attack towards the other person, and based on an occult law, it will come back around to you at some point.   The moment you’re annoyed or irritated by somebody, that hints at your own shadow, something within you. And then you project it on the other person and judge them, or you might want to put them down. So be very aware of it because this is the time when the rubber hits the road when it comes to shadow work.   Any little irritation or annoyance can also blow up into passive aggressiveness. Or using humor and sarcasm to cover up your own shadow and hostility. That’s the dark side of humor, so to speak.   Or full-on insults, ad hominem attacks, all the way up to physical violence, which we see is happening nowadays, especially on social media.   So we need to check ourselves and the way we deal with it when other people project on us, it can only affect you if there is a part of yourself internally, consciously or unconsciously, that believes it, and that’s when you feel hurt.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 31, Part 2 - From Darkness to Light: How to Evolve Consciousness During Challenging Times 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 160+ 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

We are living through a spiritual war at a critical turning point in human evolution. Esoteric traditions from the East and West have long identified this era as the Time of Transition, where the fate of humanity hinges not only on our choices but also on our level of consciousness, soul embodiment, and most importantly, what we align ourselves with. The splitting and polarization are accelerating. Unseen forces contend for influence over the human soul, and each of us stands at the center of that battle. In a world of disembodiment and hidden interference, the call to reclaim sovereignty and align with the Divine has never been more urgent. Based on over twenty years of research and personal experience, I’ve answered the call to create the most comprehensive program I’ve ever offered: MASTERING SPIRITUAL WARFARE Discerning the Unseen Forces & the Path to Embodied Sovereignty This 10-week program is designed to help spiritual warriors acquire the knowledge, skills, and tools to support themselves, assist others, and walk through these challenging times with discernment, courage, and Divine alignment. The next round starts on October 21st. Limited to 40 people - Application only. Early bird discount ends on September 21st. Apply & Learn More here: https://www.masteringspiritualwarfare.com

“In tropical astrology, the South Node will be in Virgo and the North Node in Pisces until July 26, 2026, representing the collective themes of evolution and the evolutionary arc that we are all working with right now. …Body, mind, and spirit healing belong to the Virgo/Pisces axis. This is where we learn methods and skills to improve ourselves; that’s part of Virgo. We want to refine our body and soul, separate truth from falsehood, and separate ego from our real essence. This better equips us to open up and work with the spiritual realms. Virgo is the daily spiritual practice we engage in, the chop wood, carry water archetype. And Pisces is the spiritual experience, the higher consciousness that comes from that practice – one feeds the other. The right spiritual practice can shift how you perceive reality; it can open you up to higher realms, imagination, and inspiration. And the wrong practice or not having one at all can leave you quite ungrounded, escapist, and lost in fantasy. It’s the same with discernment; the less discerning you are, the more you’re gonna fall for the delusions and illusions of the Pisces side of the axis. So we really want to keep Virgo’s discernment alive on the spiritual path, because Pisces will bring us astral glamour, mysticism, and peak experiences, but also the risks of escapism and illusions.” Virgo grounds us in the body and in reality, but we also need to avoid becoming so critical that we miss the forest for the trees, and that we don’t close ourselves off to the greater realities that Pisces offers, because the self-undoing with Virgo would be nitpicking at everything wrong in ourselves and in the world. While the healthier side is the discernment of recognizing what’s useful, what’s not, and what needs to be released. This is why Virgo is also linked to self-work and self-improvement, which includes inner work and self-analysis. The more you know yourself, your different parts, your inner world, the more you’ve truly healed and the more you’ve cultivated grounded methods that can genuinely help you cope with life, understand yourself, maybe help others, and the less you’re likely to fall for these grandiose astral illusions.” -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/2025/09/09/deepening-spiritual-discernment-in-an-age-of-deception-tcm-161-part-1 @timeoftransition

“Anytime you get triggered, if you want to explore the origin, take it away from the external aspects of the issue and bring it into an internal process and ask yourself, “What is happening in my body right now?” Focus on a pure sensation level and ask, “What am I actually feeling? What does it feel like? What temperature is it? What kind of density?” Describe it as you would a physical object, and then you can get into the feeling. It’s also important to differentiate between a feeling and a perception. Feelings are emotions like sadness, anger, fear, joy, excitement, etc. However, we also have perceptions that we think are feelings, like abandonment. For example, “I feel abandoned” is a perception. It’s important to get to the feeling behind the perception. For any trauma that happened that is preverbal, it’s important to simply allow yourself to experience the felt sense of it. When you feel into the sensation, it will give space for the feeling to arise, and your adult self can see what that actual feeling was. So when you get triggered by something or someone, the first thing to do is to check into your body and ask, “What is happening here?” Then ask, “What am I believing about someone else, myself, or the world when I feel this way?” That gets to the underlying beliefs you hold.” -Laura Matsue Episode 8, Part 2 - Shadow Work, Triggers, and Projections 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

“One of the most important skills to have and really embody for any spiritual seeker, especially in the coming years, is the power of discernment. This is nothing new for the spiritual or truth seeker, and while many people call out the necessity for discernment, they usually focus on the physical aspects of the so-called “matrix,” including government, corruption, media and so on. And we definitely want to be discerning in those areas, but real discernment takes on a whole new level in the spiritual realm, especially now as Neptune has moved into Aries and will stay there until 2036. Neptune in Aries will push or inspire more people to act on spiritual inspiration. On a positive note, it's a very powerful time to take bold soul aligned action that is rooted in spiritual truth. It really has the potential to awaken the inner spiritual warrior who acts in service to the divine. But at the same time there will also be spiritual deception and delusion. An increase in spiritual narcissism, false prophets, spiritual movements, and communities that can easily be hijacked by hostile forces. The Neptunian delusion, so to speak. So as the veil thins, more people will make contact with spiritual beings that can manifest and appear in various forms. Naturally, when you’re engaged in spiritual inner work, as your consciousness expands, you will inevitably make contact with these spiritual beings. But not all of these entities or beings are benevolent, and they can be very deceptive.” -Bernhard Guenther Listen to our latest podcast episode by clicking the link below or by searching Cosmic Matrix on iTunes, Spotify, or any other podcast streamer. https://veilofreality.com/2025/09/09/deepening-spiritual-discernment-in-an-age-of-deception-tcm-161-part-1 @timeoftransition

As I said months ago, polarization and violence are going to intensify. The projections from leftists toward conservatives are escalating, and so are the projections from conservatives toward the left, driven by hatred, rage, and a thirst for vengeance. On the surface, it appears to be a socially engineered race war. But at its core, this is a spiritual war. The only ones benefiting from it are spiritual forces in unseen realms that have been manipulating humanity for thousands of years. And it’s escalating. The war happens through us. It always has. Both sides are influenced by occult forces they do not recognize. This is a hyperdimensional Divide and Conquer operation, with humans generating more “loosh” for these forces to feed on. There is no political solution. There is no ideological solution (be it left, middle, right, or anarchist). There is no social justice solution. There is no "law and order" solution of just arresting and getting rid of the "bad guys". There is no "just post your outrage and prayers on social media" solution There is no "I'm just going to ignore it all and focus on 'positive' things in my illusory solipsistic reality bubble" solution There is no Love and Light New Age solution. There is no religious solution. (Religions were hijacked by the same occult forces long ago, as we can see in the rise of dogmatic, fundamentalist Christians.) None of it will work long term. It's a crisis of consciousness, and it's a war on consciousness. We are functioning at a very low level of consciousness, deeply disconnected from our spiritual nature and from the Divine, lost in the depths of the Kali Yuga. The distraction and illusion of external technological advancement convince us that we are more “evolved,” but in truth, we are like children in kindergarten pretending to be adults. We still have a long way to go during what the esoteric traditions call the Time of Transition—if we want it to be a successful one. What is the “solution,” you may ask? For that, you must take a deep and honest look in the mirror. And I can guarantee that if you’re sincere, you won’t like what you see at first. But most people are not sincere, and so they project onto others and look outward instead. And then you will need to understand the spiritual forces that have been guiding, influencing, and manipulating humanity for thousands of years, and how they also work through you, influencing your thoughts, emotions, desires, and actions. Does this imply refraining from action? Far from it. The real question is: where is your action coming from, and what are you aligned with? May the Divine be with us all. Godspeed. Bernhard “I cannot promise that the Divine’s Will is to preserve the current civilization. The present civilization must change, but whether by destruction or a new construction on the basis of a greater truth is the issue.” - Sri Aurobindo
