"[Surrender to the Divine] does not mean that you have not to face other kinds of difficulties or that you have not to fight and conquer any obstacles at all. Surrender does not ensure a smooth and unruffled and continuous progression. The reason is that your being is not yet one, nor your surrender absolute and complete. Only a part of you surrenders; and today it is one part and the next day it is another. The whole purpose of the Yoga is to gather all the divergent parts together and forge them into an undivided unity. Till then you cannot hope to be without difficulties — difficulties, for example, like doubt or depression or hesitation.
The whole world is full of the poison. You take it in with every breath. If you exchange a few words with an undesirable man or even if such a man merely passes by you, you may catch the contagion from him. It is sufficient for you to come near a place where there is plague in order to be infected with its poison; you need not know at all that it is there. You can lose in a few minutes what it has taken you months to gain. So long as you belong to humanity and so long as you lead the ordinary life, it does not matter much if you mix with the people of the world; but if you want the divine life, you will have to be exceedingly careful about your company and your environment.
Each time that we have made a decisive step in our spiritual progress, the invisible enemies of the Divine always try to take their revenge, and when they cannot injure the soul they strike the body. But all their efforts are in vain and will finally be defeated, for the Divine Grace is with us. We must never give a chance to the adverse forces to do their mischief — they take advantage of the slightest unconsciousness. It is jealousy, selfish dissatisfaction and hurt vanity that open the doors of the consciousness to the hostile attacks by pulling one out of the Divine’s protection. It is only by refusing to allow these wrong movements to take place in oneself that one can hope to get rid of the adverse influence and its disastrous effects. It is a great ignorance that makes a being answer to the suggestions of the forces of darkness and destruction.
With a true sense of gratitude for the Divine’s infinite mercy, one would be saved from such dangers. 'What are these suggestions that sometimes invade me? Do they not come from outside?' Yes, they do come from outside, from some vital entity that is amusing itself by sending them to you to see how you will receive them... Hostile forces are tolerated in the world only because they put man’s sincerity to the test. The day that man becomes integrally sincere, they will pass away, for there will no longer be any reason for their existence."

"Being honest and sincere means confronting our inner experience and our outer life in a truthful way. Being sincere means not lying to ourselves, not rationalizing, not comforting, not postponing, not bandaging difficulties. Being sincere means grappling with our life and coming to terms with it with a sense of integrity and self-respect.
Over time we gain self-respect by grappling with our deficiencies, by learning that we can do it. If we run away from the difficult parts, we’ll feel like a coward. If we feel like a coward, we won’t respect ourselves.
And we can’t lie to ourselves about what we’re actually doing; on a deep level, we know the truth. So we have to grapple with the difficulties in a courageous way. That’s how we gain respect and value. If we run away from things, there’s no way we can value ourselves.
To have a sense of integrity, we have to prove to ourselves that we’re worthy of it. I don’t mean we have to prove something to our superego. I mean we have to bring forth what we are, bring forth all our resources to confront the difficulties that we have in our life.
As far as I know, we can’t become real, can’t become truthful embodiments of reality unless we take the risks to live that way. We must make the necessary sacrifices to be and to live that reality.
It’s not likely to happen that you sit there meditating, have wonderful experiences, and then suddenly you’re a real human being. Living according to the truth requires sacrifices and risks.
The Work is a self-confrontation, an attempt to be more and more truthful and sincere with yourself. We gain integrity and value by living according to the truth. The Work is not separate from being real, from living our lives. The Work simply guides us about how to go about living life in a real way."

“There is a secret Divine Will, eternal and infinite, omniscient and omnipotent, that expresses itself in the universality and in each particular of all these apparently temporal and finite, inconscient or half-conscient things.
Only, it is not our conscious mental will; it rejects often enough what our conscious will accepts and accepts what our conscious will rejects. For while this secret One knows all and every whole and each detail, our surface mind knows only a little part of things.
Our will is conscious in the mind, and what it knows, it knows by the thought only; the divine Will is superconscious to us because it is in its essence supramental, and it knows all because it is all.
This divine Will is not an alien Power or Presence; it is intimate to us and we ourselves are part of it: for it is our own highest Self that possesses and supports it.
If we surrender our conscious will and allow it to be made one with the will of the Eternal, then and then only shall we attain to a true freedom; living in the divine liberty, we shall no longer cling to this shackled so-called free will, a puppet freedom ignorant, illusory, bound to the error of its own inadequate vital motives and mental figures.”

…The more we uncover and work through our own shadow aspects, our own mechanical programs, our wounds and traumas, the more we see it in others. As the masks fall away, we start to “see the unseen” and a whole new world – the REAL world – opens up. At first this view is not pleasant at all and we may question our sanity. Feelings of despair, depression, shame, guilt, anger, sadness, loneliness, etc. come up. Everything we have been hiding and have suppressed for lifetimes starts to come to the surface. The darkness within and without is being made conscious as we descend into the underworld. The higher we want to rise the deeper we need to go. The more Light we possess, the more darkness we uncover. It’s the esoteric axiom/law of Descend and Ascend as the same time…

Piercing the Veil of Reality
Loneliness On The Path & Transcending The Matrix
Many of us can relate to the sense and experience of feeling alone as we shed the matrix cultural/social programming and sincerely start to seek truth. As we embark on the path we start to learn (or oftentimes “remember”), realize and begin to see a deeper…
Our Cosmic Matrix Podcast has gotten very popular over the past year, even broke into the Top 25 repeatedly in the US, Canada, Australia, UK and other countries around the world. This is surprising but also encouraging to see considering the content of our podcast which is usually not for the average person.
We have also many new followers on Telegram. If you are new to our work, we recommend to browse through all the past episodes. There are many topics we touch upon that are “timeless” and give great insights (with practical tools) for the times we’re in right now and the times ahead: https://veilofreality.com/the-cosmic-matrix-podcast/
As of this writing we have 71 episodes. The first hour of each episode is available for free on all podcast outlets (iTunes, Spotify, etc). We go even deeper in the second hour of our podcasts which are available for members: https://veilofreality.com/membership-subscription-plan/

Christine Northrup on fire talking about this recent resurgence of fundamentalism we've been seeing lately. Whether it's veganism or Christianity or some other "ism" it’s important we don't get caught up in our own personal dogmas and think that "our way" is the only way. This has been a spiritual trap going on for ages and is related to religious teachings used as a tool for social control.

Austrian Police Randomly Check the Vaccination Status of Shoppers After Lockdown of Unvaccinated
Beginning today in Austria, anyone unvaccinated over the age of 12 is not allowed to leave their home except for "essential" reasons such as grocery shopping.
There is no longer an option to present a negative test and police are checking papers on the streets.

⬆️Harsh truths. [see pic of previous post]
Not taking the jab is not just an obvious health measure not to be injected with an experimental mRNA vaccine that not only destroys your immune system over time [especially with ongoing boosters]but it will damage you on a spiritual/metaphysical level as I wrote about here: https://veilofreality.com/2021/08/30/the-metaphysical-consequences-of-the-covid-jab-in-light-of-the-occult-matrix-and-the-way-out/
Refusing the jab is also a powerful statement to counter-act the negative timeline agenda and stand up for freedom. This stance implies making sacrifices and standing up for something bigger than you - for humanity and freedom.
On the other side, taking the jab is also an occult entrapment based on the law of agreement having karmic consequences and is equivalent to “selling your soul” [almost literally in that sense]. It’s like signing a contract of given away autonomy over your body and giving away your freedom as a sovereign being while also supporting the tyrannical globalist fascist take-over. It’s a contract implying that you support this agenda - the enslavement of humanity. They need you “free will” consent even if it is a pressured/manipulated choice by making your everyday life harder.
It’s a heavy price to pay just to travel, go to the movies, a concert or stay in a job, relationship, etc. The splitting of humanity is real. It has nothing to do with Divide & Conquer in this case. It’s a natural splitting based on soul potential and choice for there is way up and down as the Hopi Indians and many other traditions prophesied for this Time of Transition. I wrote about the Timeline-Reality Split here: https://veilofreality.com/2016/08/02/timeline-reality-split-frequency-vibration-and-the-hidden-forces-of-life/

The prerequisite for the Great Work and crossing the threshold toward a real “Great Awakening”. Not everyone is ready for it. Are you?
"The truth of the matter is that most people who say they want awakening don’t actually “want to awaken". They want their version of awakening. What they actually want is to be really happy in their dream state. And that’s okay, if that’s as far as they’ve evolved.
But the real, sincere impulse toward enlightenment is something that goes far beyond the desire to make our dream state better. It is an impulse that is willing to subject itself to whatever is needed in order to wake up.
The authentic impulse toward enlightenment is that internal prayer asking for whatever it is that will bring us to a full awakening, no matter whether it turns out to be wonderful or terrible. It is an impulse that puts no conditions on what we have to go through.
This authentic impulse can be a bit frightening, because when you feel it, you know it is real. When you have let go of all conditions - when you have let go of how you want your own awakening to be and what you want the journey to be like - you have let go of your illusion of control.
Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing through the facade of pretence. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.
In my experience, everyone will say they want to discover the Truth, right up until they realize that the Truth will rob them of their deepest held ideas, beliefs, hopes, and dreams.
The freedom of enlightenment means much more than the experience of love and peace. It means discovering a Truth that will turn your view of self and life upside-down.
For one who is truly ready, this will be unimaginably liberating. But for one who is still clinging in any way, this will be extremely challenging indeed. How does one know if they are ready? One is ready when they are willing to be absolutely consumed, when they are willing to be fuel for a fire without end.”

"For according to all occult teaching the evolutionary creation could have been such but for the intervention of the Powers of Darkness—all traditions including that of the Veda and Upanishads point under different figures to the same thing.
In the Upanishads it is the Daityas that smite with evil all that the gods create, in the Zoroastrian tradition it is Ahriman coming across the work of Ahura Mazda, the Chaldean tradition uses a different figure.
But the significance is the same; it is the perception of something that has struck across the harmonious development of creation and brought in the principle of darkness and disorder.
As a result instead of a world of integral truth and divine harmony created in the light of the divine Gnosis, we have a world founded on the part truths of an inferior cosmic Intelligence in which all is half truth, half error.
These are the forces and beings that are interested in maintaining the falsehoods they have created in the world of the Ignorance and in putting them forward as the Truth which men must follow.
The word “Appearances” refers to the forms they take in order to rule the world, forms often false and always incarnating falsehood, sometimes pseudo-divine.
It [the adverse force] is the Power that keeps up ignorance and darkness in the world—it can only be destroyed when mankind is no longer in love with ignorance and darkness.
These bad conditions are due to the fact that the Ignorance is in possession and the hostile Powers an established authority, as it were, who do not care to give up their hold and there is no full force of Light established in the earth consciousness which would not only meet but outweigh their full force of darkness.”
