We are in the midst of the Time of Transition, where we are between the death of the old world while the seeds for the new world are beginning to sprout. Bernhard and Laura explore what this “transitionary” period for mankind is all about, they discuss the various esoteric teachings over the ages who have talked about it, the challenges it brings, the opportunities it offers, and what we need to do to bring this new era into fruition of its highest evolutionary potential.

They talk about the necessity to spiritualize our being in light of the Great Work and how this Time of Transition is reflected in Evolutionary Astrology. They speak about what the end of the Pisces age means and how we can be “seed” people for the coming Age of Aquarius. They talk about how current events are manifestations of the shift between ages, the importance to separate from the herd mentality in order to individuate and bring this world to light in the bigger picture of the evolution of consciousness, the dangers of globalism/collectivism, and the rise of a socialist centralized state that will result in the loss of individual freedom as Sri Aurobindo and other teachers over the ages have warned about. They speak about the splitting of humanity, the importance to speak out and not self-censoring oneself, and how we can work with these energies descending onto the planet, and more.

In the second hour, Bernhard and Laura dive deeper into this purification process and speak about why it’s important to discover our creative gifts so we can unlock how we can contribute to the world during this transitionary age. They speak about how Divine Grace relates to this process and how evolutionary astrology can help us to understand these cosmic forces operate from a more objective standpoint, as well as the meaning behind the Capricorn-Aquarius archetypes. They discuss the necessity and right use of the nature of “judgment”, and why it’s important to not fall into false “non-duality” teachings during these times as a way to spiritually bypass participating in them and taking a stand on the issues that really matter to us.

They also discuss the importance to have a bigger spiritual framework so that we can know what we believe and what to stand for during these times. Furthermore, they talk about the necessity of de-conditioning from the programs of culture, society, and our family, and truly becoming an individualized being, and how truly individualized beings will by nature disrupt the status quo. They also speak about the importance to engage the will and tap into your creative potential to make any changes that are necessary during these times in that process of individualization. They also give various suggestions on what you can do to connect more with your true Self and be an active Force to contribute to the world in a conscious way during this period and more.

As more and more people start to "awaken", many young souls do not know what it actually takes to truly cross the threshold on the path towards awakening. Many seekers over-estimate themselves or under-estimate what The Great Work entails. Most often people mistake an intellectual understanding of the Matrix as "awakening"

In order to escape the Matrix [called "General Law" in Gnosis] it is necessary to align oneself with “The Law of Exception”, engaging in esoteric work with sincere conscious effort. There is a threshold to be crossed, a void, which puts the seeker on The Way. The process and necessity of moral bankruptcy [disillusionment, death of the pesonality] ,which initiates the seeker into “The Way” of esoteric work, is described in various esoteric traditions such as Boris Mouravieff’s “Gnosis”.

“This void, which can only be crossed at the cost of considerable effort or even of super-efforts, operates selectively. The character and the quantity of effort necessary differs for each person, depending upon the nature and degree of deformation of the mind of each exterior man; an individual factor

Man was compared to a cell of organic life on Earth. Because he belongs to this organism, man is subject to the General Law, and it is only when he has escaped it that he is elevated to the Law of Exception. We are not aware of how much we are bound by the action of the General Law. Acting on us as it does on our cells, this law immobilizes us or constantly tends to bring us back to our place. Its strength leaves us little freedom of action outside the limits of its direction and scope. It acts in various ways.


One can say that if man lives ‘like everyone else’, if he does not venture off the beaten track, he will never perceive the existence of this force, or rather this force will ignore him.

But if his enterprises are out of the ordinary, no matter what field they are in, but especially in esotericism, this force begins to act, and stirs up all sorts of obstacles in order to bring him back to the point where — according to the General Law — he must reside.

Even without knowing this force, we have an intuition of its existence and of the many forms which clothe it. The Holy Scripture speak of it more than once, especially where esoteric work is concerned.

Thus, if this conservative force, which is the servant of the General Law, does not succeed in ‘calming’ man by acting directly upon him, it tries to reach him indirectly through the people of his household, either through the feelings they invoke or the coolness and contempt they openly show him. As long as it is not mastered, the force of illusion keeps each one of us in his place, obliging him most often to mistake the false for the true.


Submerged in unreality, instead of advancing, man marks time; one step forward and two steps backwards; two steps forward and one step backwards, and so on. We generally agree to recognize the existence of the danger of Illusion, but rather theoretically; most often, we see its action on those round about us, but not on ourselves. We continue to live day by day in the same old way, so that the power we know as the Devil still triumphs. Whatever name we give it, it remains ever-present.


We live in an artificial, illusory world. The power of illusion which chains us exerts its action individually on each one of us, as well as collectively. Each mind is falsified in a way peculiar to it.


The Way is a one-way street. Meaning that whoever begins to walk it is forbidden to turn back. This is not because of some kind of external imperative, but due to the fact that each step forward on the Way irrevocably modifies the content of whoever has started walking it. It follows that he will become more and more of a stranger to his surroundings; that he will lose more and more interest in exterior life, in which only yesterday he participated fully.
The appearance of things, and especially of beings, undergoes a deep change in his eyes. He will one day be surprised to constate that certain faces which only yesterday he found very beautiful now reveal to him marks of bestiality behind their features: not all, but many of them!

The more man progresses on the Way, the more his feeling of being a stranger is intensified. Soon he will become boring: later still he will become unbearable, and finally, odious. That is why ‘the prophet is despised in his country, among his close relations and in his own house.‘ That indication is precise and leaves no room for doubt. He who wants to start esoteric studies is invited to think it over twice, and weigh it all, before he rushes to cross the moat-threshold. We repeat that it will not be possible for him to return to exterior life and to find his place, his pleasures and his satisfaction there as in the past.

However, as well as the difficulties which are the first results of his evolution, such a man will receive comforting impressions, especially in his human relations.

He will be surprised to perceive one day that certain faces which only yesterday appeared to him ordinary, today shine in his eyes with a bright beauty. It is because his sight, sharpened by esoteric work, has acquired the faculty of penetrating beyond the external crust. It is amongst these brighter beings that he will find his new friends. Their society will welcome him as one of their own. He will be understood among them, and their community of common aims and interests will be a stimulus and a help for all.“

“The Threshold” to be crossed out of the wilderness [living in the Matrix] which grants access to the “The Way” and staircase to transcend the Matrix/General Law is described in esoteric parables such as this ancient one based on Esoteric Christianity [quoted in Gnosis by Mouravieff].

"I see a great building, one enormous mass. In the front wall is a narrow arch with open doors; behind them, dark mists. In front of the high threshold there is a young girl… a pretty Russian girl.

A breeze comes from the dark and icy mists, a current of freezing air, bringing with it from the depths of the building the sound of a slow and muffled voice.


– ‘You who aspire to cross this threshold, do you know what awaits you here?


– ‘I know,’ answers the young girl.


– ‘Cold, hunger, hate, mockery, scorn, injustice, prison, illness and even death?’

– ‘I know it. ‘


- ‘Do you expect to be shunned by everyone? Do you expect to be totally alone?’

– ‘I am ready. I know it. I shall bear all the suffering and all the blows’.


– ‘Even if they do not come from enemies, but from parents, from friends?’

– ‘Yes… even from those…’

– ‘Good. Do you accept the sacrifice?’

– ‘Yes’.

– ‘An anonymous sacrifice? You will perish and nobody… but nobody will even know whose memory to honor?’

– ‘I have no use for recognition and pity. I have no use for a name.’

– ‘Are you ready for crime?

The young girl bowed her head. – ‘Even for crime.’

The voice which was questioning her did not continue right away. At last it started again:


— ‘Do you know that one day you will believe no more in what you believe in now, and come to think that you have been a dupe and that it was for nothing that you have lost your young life?’

— ‘That too I know. Well though I know it, I wish to enter.’

The young girl crossed the threshold.

A heavy curtain fell. Gritting his teeth, someone uttered behind her: – ‘A foolish girl!’


At which, from another place, a voice replied: – ‘A saint!’

“Knowledge of oneself is a very big, but a very vague and distant, aim. Man in his present state is very far from self-knowledge. Therefore, strictly speaking, his aim cannot even be defined as self-knowledge. Self-study must be his big aim. It is quite enough if a man understands that he must study himself. It must be man’s aim to begin to study himself, to know himself, in the right way.

Self-study is the work or the way which leads to self-knowledge. But in order to study oneself one must first learn how to study, where to begin, what methods to use. A man must learn how to study himself, and he must study the methods of self-study. The chief method of self-study is self-observation.

Without properly applied self­-observation a man will never understand the connection and the correlation between the various functions of his machine, will never understand how and why on each separate occasion everything in him ‘happens.'”

– G.I. Gurdjieff, In Search of the Miraculous

“All this insistence upon action is absurd if one has not the light by which to act. The advocates of action think that by human intellect and energy, making an always new rush, everything can be put right; the present state of the world after a development of the intellect and a stupendous output of energy for which there is no historical parallel is a signal proof of the emptiness of the illusion under which they labour.

It is only by a change of consciousness that the true basis of life can be discovered: from within outward. But within does not mean some quarter inch behind the surface. One must go deep and find the soul, the (true) Self [behind the masks of the conditioned personality], the Divine Reality within us and only then can life become a true expression of what we can be instead of a blind and always repeated confused blur of the inadequate and imperfect thing we were.

The choice is between remaining in the old jumble and groping about in the hope of stumbling on some discovery or standing back and seeing the Light within till we discover and can build the Godhead within and without us.”

– Sri Aurobindo, The Integral Yoga

No one is “bailing us” out, no leader, no savior, no authority, until we answer the call of the divine voice within, which lies hidden behind the illusory constructs of personality-identification. It’s a higher state of being, an embodied experience which the mind and intellect cannot come close to comprehending.

The differing states of reality-experience which manifest within (and between) human beings during this time of transition is also becoming more and more apparent, and relates to the Timeline-Reality Spilt, for some people reinforce and fall deeper into a dream state (while dreaming to be awake, mistaking reality for illusion and illusion for reality), getting caught up in the Matrix with all the “traps of agreement” laid out by the occult forces.

Meanwhile, others start to increasingly (and courageously) wake up to their true nature, becoming conscious transducers of Divine Will as frequency anchors within the unfolding of the “cosmic plan”. There is also no judgment about these differing journeys, because the “splitting” from a higher perspective also reflects the cosmic equilibrium and the vast difference in soul lessons for each human being to embody in this day and age.

Essentially, every human being is destined to awaken, each in their own “time” and own way (and over lifetimes) as we play out the cosmic drama/comedy. However, we are far away from experiencing any notion of a “collective” awakening in any near “future”. So, embark on the path, watch out for the traps, don’t be afraid of the dark, and most importantly, enjoy the ride….

"Mass culture is a control mechanism that devalues the individual. It is aimed solely at promoting collectivism. It seeks to enforce the dependence of the individual human on a collective group and the priority of group ideologies over individual life paths. It is, at the base level, the very heart of socialism, communism, fascism and totalitarianism. It employs nationalistic impulses to setup polarities of antagonism that exclusively benefits a set of ruling elites. At the top level, the elites fully comprehend that there are no distinct nations, ideologies or cultural imperatives to speak of. To them, there is only power and no power."

HOW TO BRAINWASH A NATION BY Yuri Bezmenov

The first stage is called "demoralization" which takes from 15 to 20 years to achieve. According to the former KGB agent, that is the minimum number of years it takes to re-educate one generation of students that is normally exposed to the ideology of its country.  Bezmenov claimed this generation was already "contaminated" by Marxist-Leninist values.
Demoralization is a process that is "irreversible". It would take another generation and another couple of decades to get the people to think differently and return to their patriotic values, claimed the agent.

Once demoralization is completed, the second stage of ideological brainwashing is "destabilization". During this two-to-five-year period, asserted Bezmenov, what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the nation, considerably weakening it.

The third stage would be "crisis".
It would take only up to six weeks to send a country into crisis, explained Bezmenov. The crisis would bring "a violent change of power, structure, and economy" and will be followed by the last stage, "normalization." That's when your country is basically taken over, living under a new ideology and reality.

This will happen to your nation unless it gets rid of people who will bring it to a crisis, warned Bezmenov. What's more "if people will fail to grasp the impending danger of that development, nothing ever can help your nation," adding, "You may kiss goodbye to your freedom."”

The cure for imposter syndrome is “apprentice mindset.”

Imposter syndrome will tell you “you’re not good enough to do this.”

Apprentice mindset will tell you “hey maybe you’re not the greatest at this YET but you are capable of learning and getting better.”

Imposter syndrome will tell you “You’re faking”

Apprentice mindset says “You’re still finding your groove in this new skill.”

Imposter syndrome will say “Don’t even start, you’re no good and you’ll fail”

Apprentice mindset says “Start now & be open to learning. You got this.”

Imposter syndrome holds a truth in it:

The only way you can ever get great at something is by allowing yourself to not be that great at it at first.

Every time you feel like you’re an imposter, remind yourself to be an apprentice. 💜
