Time of Transition (Bernhard Guenther & Laura Matsue)

“[Some of us] have an idea that when we meditate, the heavens are going to open up and we are immediately going to have a powerful spiritual experience, I think that is actually what’s often in the way of us truly having that spiritual experience. We have to do it for the sincere desire to know God, but also at the same time, not expecting anything to happen. Effort is still needed, we have to be receptive, we have to be sincere, we have to be faithful, but we also have to be patient. If we’re entitled, impatient, or restless, obviously, those [traits] can be worked through with meditation, with time, but this attitude also doesn’t help, as it tends to block the action of Grace. This effort, the sincerity, and the spiritual aspiration are still necessary for most. Even though the Grace acts spontaneously, we will experience more subtle forms of Grace through our inner sincerity and through our spiritual aspirations, and at the same time, some can receive Grace very quickly without seeming like they’ve earned it. But I would also argue there still has to be sincerity to integrate it, because if you’ve received Grace, you can have a powerful experience, but you can easily lose the teaching of it.” -Laura Matsue Episode 164 – Beyond Karma: The Mystery of Divine Grace 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/2025/10/30/beyond-karma-the-mystery-of-divine-grace-tcm-164-part-1 @timeoftransition

“Real freedom begins within. All external striving for sovereignty, whether from self-proclaimed anarchists, voluntarists, or freedom-fighting activists, is futile if the inner nature is not transformed. The outer always reflects the inner. Without inner change, external “freedom” inevitably collapses into new forms of tyranny and imprisonment. Gurdjieff called this the trap of the revolutionary mind. Does this mean retreating from life, avoiding action, and meditating on a mountain top until transformation occurs? No. That counterfeit spirituality of escape is another trap, one that Sri Aurobindo warned of. Real work demands both inner transformation and outer action. The two must unfold together, and no stage can be skipped. Humanity also exists at vastly different levels of soul embodiment and consciousness, which shapes this process with unseen karmic processes. Outer action only carries real power when it arises from the real “I”—conscious action from Essence, not from the reactive, mechanical impulses of the wounded conditioned ego. We still have a long way to go on this pilgrimage of ascension in this Time of Transition.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 37, Part 2 - How to Balance Truth and Self-Care 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

“Within all religious and spiritual traditions, there’s often an emphasis on purity. You do certain practices, you meditate in a certain way, you abstain from certain things, and I do think they have their time and place. Because we need to purify our wounds. We need to purify the blockages within our body that are in the way of our receiving God. But what I also learned [during my experience with Divine Grace] is that there’s a Will of God, a Grace of God, that overrides everything. If we focus on maintaining what we think is purity, because we feel fundamentally shameful or unworthy, it then becomes this form of masochism in which we’re almost engaging in all these practices from the point of view that we’re not good enough. Or we think we are just terrible people, which is a filter that will affect everything and every way that you see the world. It blocks you from even seeing the beauty in nature, the beauty in yourself, the beauty in other people, and it also blocks the love of God. Ultimately, this Divine Grace overrides everything; it overrides our errors and our mistakes, what we think is impure, and we don’t need to earn it. It can hit you when you least expect it. It can hit you when you feel the least worthy, and that is really true unconditional love.” -Laura Matsue Episode 164 – Beyond Karma: The Mystery of Divine Grace 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/2025/10/30/beyond-karma-the-mystery-of-divine-grace-tcm-164-part-1 @timeoftransition

“Once you bring your soul back into your body, it's not all love at first sight; you will first awaken to everything you once tried to escape, suppress, or numb. A backlog of unprocessed emotions are being held in your body waiting to be met with compassion and presence. This isn't a mistake. This is the path. The more gently you allow yourself to feel, the more these old energies begin to shift, change, and can finally be let go of. And as they move, your soul refills with vitality, clarity, and light. You can't rise without first descending. The underworld is not a detour—it's an initiation.” -Laura Matsue Episode 53, Part 2 - What Is Inner Work?

“Divine Grace and Divine Guidance are both aspects of Divine Will that operate in our lives and in the world, most often unseen, but never absent. This is not about any religious dogma or spiritual wishful thinking, and it is definitely not about the New Age concept of “you create your own reality.” It’s about the actual forces behind transformation, the Divine Intelligence that guides our evolution, and the light that breaks through when all seems lost. That’s really the essence of Divine Grace. It is a force that moves outside of natural law, merit, morality, or karma. Divine Grace cannot be summoned, manifested, or even earned, and it’s not a reward for good deeds. It arrives when the soul is ready or when a deeper intervention is required from the perspective of Divine Will. Sometimes Divine Grace erupts without warning, and other times, it follows long periods of darkness, suffering, or also through sincere aspiration.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 164 – Beyond Karma: The Mystery of Divine Grace 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/2025/10/30/beyond-karma-the-mystery-of-divine-grace-tcm-164-part-1 @timeoftransition

What if there exists a force that moves outside of Natural and Cosmic Law, beyond karma, beyond cause and effect? What if the most life-changing moment on your path couldn’t be earned, manifested, or predicted? What if it arrived not through effort, prayer, or good deeds, but through the action of a Higher Intelligence that is beyond your control and awareness? We just released our new podcast exploring the mysterious force of Divine Grace and its quiet companion, Divine Guidance. In this conversation, we explore what Divine Grace truly is: a power that transcends morality, spiritual merit, and karmic law. We share personal experiences and powerful historical accounts of sudden transformation that defy logic, disrupt our conditioned sense of justice and morality, and point to a higher Will at work. We also explore the many ways Grace can manifest, from mystical breakthroughs to ego-shattering trials, and how Divine Guidance works more subtly, shaping the soul’s path over time through synchronicities, redirections, and challenges. We discuss how to recognize genuine guidance, how to become more receptive, and how Grace and Guidance often work together to bring about soul-level transformation. This episode is for anyone who has ever asked: - Why do some people's life paths change in an instant while others struggle for years? - How do I know if I’m being guided, or if it’s just my mind, wishful thinking, or projection? - Is suffering always a result of karma, being a victim, or punishment, or could it be a form of Grace in disguise? - What role do effort, merit, and intention really play in spiritual evolution? - How can I become more receptive to Divine Guidance in my life?

“A psychic attack isn’t a unique event demonstrated by practitioners of magic who understand the laws of reality. Through our own impure, crude, and selfish thoughts about others we are sending that energy out towards them and through this we may be psychically attacking others all the time. So too, we are also receiving the energies from those who are sending their unhealed pain into the ether to be received by us when we become the object of their projections. You can create psychic shield after psychic shield to try and protect yourself from the energies of others, but the only definite cure for these energies is compassion. Compassion for yourself and your pain, compassion for others and theirs, and compassion for the collective pain of humanity, who continue to hurt one another under the illusion of separation, not realizing that when they hurt another, they are also hurting themselves. Compassion also doesn’t mean you practice what the Buddhists call “idiot compassion,” where you are practicing compassion without proper awareness of boundaries and taking on abuse. Compassion has many faces and doesn’t necessarily mean taking on what isn’t yours.” -Laura Matsue Episode 3, Part 2 - Occult Forces and 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

“A spiritual war is based on non-physical forces influencing humanity or working through humanity. So, the war is on unseen levels. All the different esoteric spiritual traditions have talked about it in their own way throughout the ages, but we don’t recognize it in our very Western materialistic view of the modern world right now. We’re stuck in five sensory perception, but what we’re actually seeing on the 3D physical level is the manifestation of occult, hidden spiritual forces manipulating and working through humanity from non-physical realms. Spiritual warfare is not necessarily out there, like we may see in physical reality, but the key point to understand is that it works through humanity and, ultimately, through ourselves. The spiritual war is not to be externalized; it happens within and without at the same time. What we see on the physical level is the manifestation, and the cause is in the spiritual realm.” -Bernhard Guenther Episode 133 – 12 Psycho-Spiritual Tools For Spiritual Warfare 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/2024/06/20/12-psycho-spiritual-tools-for-spiritual-warfare-tcm-133-part-1 @timeoftransition

“According to the modern, literalist interpretation of Christian doctrine, you are born in sin, live one life, and are judged by God to either go to heaven or hell, based on whether you’ve accepted Jesus as your personal savior. This is the ultimate religious matrix control system. The verse “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6) has become one of the most powerful tools of religious social population control when taken literally and dogmatically, rather than understood through its esoteric meaning. This phrase is a cornerstone of the “Jesus Savior” matrix program. It teaches that only those who believe in Jesus (as a historical figure, within a specific doctrinal framework) and accept him as “the savior” will be saved and go to heaven. Many Christians who hold this view also claim that no other path, religion, or practice can bring the soul back to God, only Jesus. If you don’t accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you’re doomed to eternal damnation. This creates deep fear, guilt, and dependency, which makes people easily controlled. Historically, this literal interpretation has been used to justify violence, witch burnings, and the brutality of missionary crusades. Today, this dogma has returned in force, with “reborn” Christians claiming that reincarnation is “New Age nonsense” and that yoga and meditation are “demonic.” On the other side of the delusional spectrum, there’s the “reincarnation is a trap” and “Earth is a prison planet” black-pill fringe narrative. This is the real inversion: the corruption of genuine spirituality through religion, and how billions have been led to believe that a book, edited, copied, translated, and revised over centuries, is the literal word of God. People take isolated verses at face value without understanding their esoteric symbolism.” -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 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 To read the full article click here: https://veilofreality.com/2025/07/20/the-jesus-savior-program-and-reclaiming-christ @timeoftransition

“Awakening is not just a single experience that you can hold on to or claim. As people like to say, who is the “I” that’s awakening? Awakening is a return to reality as it is. It’s a return to reality that’s free from the projections of your mind. In the words of Ramana Maharshi, he says, realization, which is his word for awakening, “is not the acquisition of anything new, nor is it a new faculty. It’s only the removal of all camouflage.” In awakening, what falls away is our illusions – our illusions of ourselves, of the world, and what remains is simplicity, a clarity, and a return to your true being. It’s not “your” awakening, it’s an awakening from the “you” that you thought you were. It’s a return to your true nature, stripped away from all the veils that were covering it. So awakening is remembering who you really are; it’s a shift in consciousness, and this is not just a sudden thing. I’ve noticed that it’s a slow unfolding over time. Yes, some people have sudden moments of awakening, where everything has changed for them, but for most people, it’s a slow unfolding over time.” -Laura Matsue Episode 154 – What You Lose When Waking Up (And What You Gain) 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/2025/05/20/what-you-lose-when-waking-up-and-what-you-gain-tcm-154-part-1 @timeoftransition

“Eventually, on the spiritual path, you must stop outsourcing yourself to external authorities and instead learn to trust your body and your intuition above everything. No one knows your path like you do. Only the depths of your being knows the way that is right for you. Learn to listen to that still small voice within you and it will give you the best guidance you could ever ask for. It knows your path better than anyone else in this world because that voice is the future you that is pulling you forward into the person you are meant to be.” -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

“We can see the collective ​shadow ​in ​our ​present ​time through ​intensified ​ ​political ​tribalism, cancel ​culture, and the culture ​wars, with the ​polarization ​becoming ​increasingly ​insane. Each ​side ​identifies ​with ​one ​pole ​of ​the ​moral ​duality, ​so ​to ​speak, good ​versus ​evil, ​right ​versus ​wrong, ​while ​projecting ​their ​shadow ​onto ​the ​other. ​The ​result ​is ​psychological ​splitting ​on ​a ​mass ​scale. ​​This ​means ​that oversimplified ​black ​and ​white ​ideas ​of ​good ​and ​bad ​are projected ​externally ​on ​somebody ​else, ​the ​boogeyman, or on another ​group, ​whoever, ​both ​left ​and ​right ​and ​in ​between. People ​lose ​the ​capacity ​for ​nuance, ​empathy, and ​dialogue, ​and ​become ​​mouthpieces ​of ​collective ​attitudes.

New article, inspired by one of the most common questions I've been asked: “How can I attract a conscious partner and relationship?” Read it here: https://bernhardguenther.substack.com/p/the-essence-of-a-conscious-relationship

“Jung ​warned ​against ​people ​who ​repeat ​the ​words, ​values, ​or ​attitudes ​of ​others, ​even ​those ​of ​spiritual ​teachers ​or ​of ​Jung ​himself, without ​doing ​the ​inner ​work ​that ​gives ​those ​ideas ​a ​personal ​meaning. He ​was ​hinting, ​in ​his ​own ​way, at ​the ​concept ​of ​NPCs, ​who ​copy, ​imitate, ​and ​have ​no ​originality. For ​him, ​imitation ​was ​the ​shadow ​side ​of ​spirituality that ​creates ​the ​illusion ​of ​transformation ​without ​genuine ​consciousness, which ​we ​see ​a ​lot of ​today. People ​have ​an ​idea about ​what ​they ​think ​it ​means ​to ​be ​“spiritual”, but ​it’s ​not ​their ​own — it is about ​the ​divine ​doing ​its ​unique ​work ​as ​an ​instrument ​and ​expressing ​itself ​originally through them. When ​we ​fail ​to ​discover ​our ​unique ​essence ​of ​who ​we ​truly ​are ​deep ​within, ​we ​unconsciously ​imitate ​others, which is ​why ​the ​path ​of ​individuation ​must ​be ​approached ​with ​sincerity ​and ​openness. ​​It ​is ​not ​about ​adopting ​Jung’s ​system ​as ​dogma, ​but ​using ​his ​insights ​as ​a ​map, and ​as ​we ​know, ​the ​map ​is ​not ​the ​territory. The ​goal ​is ​really ​to ​translate ​these ​principles ​into ​lived ​experience ​and ​personal ​realization. Our ​work ​today ​is ​to ​weave ​Jung’s ​concepts ​with ​our ​own ​insights, ​allowing ​them ​to ​evolve ​and ​take ​new ​form ​through ​our ​own ​unique ​direct ​experience. It’s ​not ​about ​imitation ​or ​making ​Jung’s ​work ​in ​ideology ​​or ​dogma, ​that we see in many​ spiritual ​teachings and ​psychological ​modalities; ​it’s ​using ​the ​tools ​Jung ​suggests ​to ​awaken ​the ​unique ​expression ​of ​the ​self ​in ​each ​of ​us.” -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/2025/10/15/a-guide-to-the-path-of-individuation-tcm-163-part-1 @timeoftransition

“Many people want healthy and deeply loving relationships as it is a fundamental necessity for being human; we are inherently connected with one another and need outlets and the freedom to express that intimately and platonically. But from what I have seen, most people do not have the will to evolve themselves to a state of being where they can provide the proper container in order for these loving relationships to happen. Are you ready to take full responsibility for your life and all the patterns that happen in it? Are you ready to stop justifying why you have a certain habit that seems to have affected all of your relationships? Are you willing to sort out your destructive thoughts and emotions, questioning them tirelessly, to find out what is really true and what is your perception being clouded by past relationship trauma and experiences? Are you willing to face your shadow so you don't project it on everyone around you? Are you able to look yourself in the mirror and say: I am worthy, and feel it in every cell of your being so that you will not retreat, shy away, or have your attachment issues get triggered when someone loves you?” -Laura Matsue Episode 92, Part 2 - How to Work Through 5 Relationship Challenges 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

“To individuate is to discover and embody the unique essence that exists at the core of our being, that which is wholly ours. But this uniqueness can’t emerge as long as we’re identified with our roles, the masks we wear, or certain inherited beliefs and expectations that we’ve picked up that do not belong to our true nature. This is why it requires first a process of purification, purifying ourselves of our wounds, of the persona, of the parts of ourselves that we picked up from family and culture. And then differentiation, which is peeling away all that is not authentically us, so that what is innate and essential to our soul can unfold. Jung described individuation as the unfolding of two interrelated movements, what alchemy called Separatio and Coniunctio. Separatio is when we begin to separate mixed elements. In this first phase, we begin to examine the subpersonalities and psychic energies that make up our inner world. We might have a wounded child, an inner critic, a people pleaser, and through self-awareness and self-observation, we begin to disidentify from these parts, seeing them as aspects of the psyche, rather than the whole of who we are. Over time, we tend to blend with these inner voices, parts, and subpersonalities, and we start to think they are who we are. We may have, what they call in Internal Family Systems, very strong manager parts that tell us what we should do in the world, and what we need to do to be productive. We can blend with these subpersonalities to the point where we can completely forget the true self. The point is not to reject these parts, but to differentiate from them, which means learning to hold them consciously, rather than being unconsciously possessed by them. In Jungian language, this is when the ego becomes a stable and observing center, capable of relating to these parts within the unconscious rather than being identified with them.” -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/2025/10/15/a-guide-to-the-path-of-individuation-tcm-163-part-1 @timeoftransition

“In shamanic cultures, they see that a [mental] breakdown is an initiation into the spiritual world. In mainstream psychology, they lack the metaphysical and esoteric understanding of multi-dimensional reality. And this can leave people vulnerable to real spiritual attacks, because of ignorance or claiming that these spirits or hostile forces are just hallucinations. For example, a person experiencing chronic suicidal thought injections may be told it’s purely biochemical or trauma-based, which, of course, in some cases may be the truth. But another cause could be that there’s an entity feeding off the despair and pushing the individual towards self-destruction. So ultimately, without an understanding of occult forces, multi-dimensionality, and the architecture of the soul, even well-intentioned healing modalities simply fall short. These therapists or practitioners are unaware of the astral realm, of thought forms, soul fragmentation, and all kinds of interdimensional parasites, which they dismiss as part of the person’s psychosis. On the other side of the coin, there are people who are aware of entities and try to remove them for you, which can come with its own issues. If the person trying to remove entities has no psychological knowledge, they could be removing a shadow part or a traumatized inner child which can result in further fragmentation and psychosis.” -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

“What people don’t talk about as much is that to heal trauma, you have to grieve - a lot. You need to grieve the life you didn’t have, the love you didn’t get, the years lost, the way you treated yourself and others… We don’t like to feel this way, so most people avoid it. Suppress it. Dissociate. They will stay frozen in their grief for years. And it will show up as depression, stagnancy, and disconnection from their emotions and relationships. It’s some of the most arduous emotional work that a person can ever do, but it’s the only way through because without that grieving, without that letting go, the trauma stays with you. It poisons your body, your mind, and your spirit and makes you keep reliving and recreating the past as if it’s still present. The only way out of this is by going into the emotions that weren’t safe for you to feel when the trauma happened. If you can feel those emotions, it is a sign that you are already healing. “You can’t heal what you don’t feel” has a profound truth in it. When we feel, we remember our souls again. We regain our connection to life and all that is. When we grieve, we heal our hearts and our connection to God and every other living being. Underneath all the feelings you don’t want to feel is your aliveness, your vitality, your laughter, your love for life and others, and your soul.” -Laura Matsue Episode 26, Part 2 - Destruction, Endings, and Rebirth 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
