The A.I. and Transhumanism take-over will continue through subtle occult agreements. It’s a bargain for our souls, happening by priming human bodies for hyper dimensional beings as the soul becomes dislodged through our manipulated consent. The war is through us.

Letting Go of Comparison and Living From Essence
One of the worst things you can do to your psycho-spiritual health and self-esteem is to compare yourself to anyone, be it diminishing yourself in comparison to someone else and what "better" life you think they lead (especially on social media)
- or feeling superior and "better" compared to someone else, making yourself feel better by putting someone else down - even if only with your thoughts.
Both types of comparisons come from the wounded ego and unintegrated shadow and are often unconscious trauma responses based on childhood wounding.
Both reactions are a betrayal of your soul.
The vast majority of humans suffer from the disease of comparison. The whole world of consumer marketing is based on it.
Modern cult-ure out of touch with spirit and essence breeds envy and jealousy and even installs desires that are not your own and won't ever bring you happiness even if they are fulfilled.
It’s a bottomless hole.
Denial of the act or thought of comparison results in unconscious internalized shame that is masked and suppressed by externalizing judgment and "shit-talking" about others and breeds narcissism - the creation of a fake persona that takes tremendous life force to uphold - an internal split.
Notice how judgments about other people come up right away in your thoughts—very mechanical. Also, note your positive or negative projection and the triggers.
It’s a good exercise for shadow work.
Observe it all without judging yourself or trying to change it—just observe it like an objective witness and feel any feelings that come up.
That is already easier said than done, for most people immediately identify with their thoughts and projections like an automated machine.
There is no free will in reactive identification and resulting reaction. Conscious self-awareness is needed for free will and mindful action.
A healthy, integrated, and individuated human being has not one ounce of the need to compare within himself. He has no competition, no rival. This doesn't imply that he's always "happy" and content, positive, and inspired.
Ups and downs are part of life, but the individuated person does not waste time comparing or gossiping. He doesn't need to belong to a group, tribe, or movement.
But he is also not a loner or alone. His eyes are hooked to the Infinite, to the Divine, in sincere surrender and aspiration.
He knows and sees, with an embodied spiritual vision emanating from his true self, that nothing comes before Essence or the Divine—not your partner, wife, husband, children, country, family, friends, home, stuff, job, career, etc.
It doesn't imply that you don't care for them - but you do not identify with them, and you don't use them or see them as the source of your happiness, which would only breed more suffering.
It’s the difference between conditional love (attachment) and unconditional love, a higher state of being that is a direct expression of the joy of the soul.
Once you have the Divine in your heart [the Kingdome within] and are living from Essence, no one can take it from you, and no one and nothing external can possibly fulfill you.
Nothing is a threat to you. Not even death. It’s the ultimate state of freedom - the soul liberated, being in this world but not of this world.
This state of being is the next level of psycho-spiritual evolution many of us are called to embrace, and it's not easy, for it requires a death/rebirth process and unconditional letting go.
There are layers of trauma and shadow material to work through and integrate [most of which people are entirely unaware of] that keep the door shut to Essence and the Divine. It's a different process for each of us....over lifetimes.
In the words of A.H. Almaas:
"Suffering always arises when you are out of contact with Essence or seeking something other than Essence.
If you value anything - husbands, wives, children, girlfriends, parents, jobs, money, sports, cars, anything at all - over what is true in you, there is suffering.

Automatically, that movement outwards - seeking satisfaction from external reality - wounds you. It is a wound to your heart. It is not that the factors of our external lives or our human desires are antithetical to our [Great] Work.
Like everything else, they can be respected and understood for what they are. But if they come before Essence, there will be suffering, pain, frustration, and anger."
Godspeed.

The Mother Wound: A PsychoSpiritual Healing Guide
The mother wound is one of the deepest wounds we can have. Having a mother wound can affect your self-esteem, your relationships, your relationship with your body, food, sexuality, how you approach life and almost every factor of life.
We discuss the signs that you have a mother wound, how it shows up psychologically and spiritually, what we need from our mother, what it means to have a good enough mother, common core wounds of the mother archetype, and, most importantly, how to heal the mother wound psychologically and spiritually, including exercises to do that.
In the second hour, we will cover how we reenact the mother wound in relationships, how the mother wound shows up in popular culture (left and right), how overly political correctness and censorship relate to the “devouring mother” archetype, and how the red-pill manosphere movement is related to anima projection and the mother wound.
We discuss the anima (the inner feminine) in men, how it affects men’s relationships with women and who they attract and are attracted to, and how to confront the shadow of your mother within you, and much more.

Did your mother show you that she could also regulate her own difficult emotions? Did you feel really seen, understood, and held by your mother when you were experiencing certain difficult emotions? *All* of that shows you how you were supported or not supported by your mother.

If our mother tries to make us fit into some sort of image of perfection, then the encouragement will make us feel pressure because we need to live up to an idealized image she has, and she doesn't mirror us for who we truly are. We need to be encouraged to do things that are truly our interests and not what she wants from us.

Waking Up Is Not About Self-Actualization
One of the biggest realizations I've had and the hard-hitting truth I have had to face and accept over the years was that not everyone is "ready" to wake up, nor will there be a collective awakening anytime soon, for there are vastly different levels of being and soul potential among the 8+ billion people on this planet.
There is also nothing wrong with it in light of the evolution of consciousness. We are all one, but we're not all the same.
No one can be awakened by another, nor can anyone force another to "wake up." Free will needs to be respected, even if it is the "free will" to stay asleep (dreaming to be awake).
You can only "give" to the ones who "ask" sincerely and spread some seeds of awareness. Some may blossom, some won't.
Moreover, the ones of us who are sincerely engaged in the awakening process and truth-seeking know that it is far from easy for a true awakening goes way beyond any informational intellectual/external understanding of the Matrix, which usually ends up externalizing all evil - a trap in itself.
It takes inner struggle, conscious suffering [not giving in to mechanical drives & desires], effort, integrity, self-responsibility, radical self-honesty, and sincerity with patience and humility to cross the threshold out of the ego slumber of the false/conditioned personality to awaken and free oneself from the entropic forces of the matrix which also work through us.
It's not what most New Age/corrupted spiritual teachings and motivational self-help advocates talk about who promise you health, wealth, love, and bliss.
It's not a "mindset" or "being the best you can be." Nor is a religious idea of bible thumping and "accepting Jesus as your savior" [a matrix program in itself - the savior program]
"Awakening" is also not about self-actualization, chasing dreams, seeking pleasure, and fulfilling desires, nor is it simply about being an "individual" or a self-improvement program but becoming INDIVIDUATED (big difference).
The former is still a slave to the ego personality with all its desires; the latter has become a vessel for God and merged personal will with Divine Will, acting our God's Will beyond ego gratification.
As Bud Harris wrote in 'Becoming Whole':
"[...]It is much more than firming up, losing weight, having more positive thoughts, or solving problems and getting on with your life. Individuation is not self-actualization.
The mythologist Joseph Campbell noted that self-actualization is for people with nothing better to do—people who don't know their personal myth or deeper purpose in life."
But no steps can be skipped.
Many of us still need to work on becoming individuals, separating ourselves from the consensus state of the masses and past attachments, and exhausting all personality-based desires before the soul makes the call, takes charge, and embarks on the path of individuation.
And there is nothing wrong with that. The path is just the path, unique to each of us. But there are detours, distractions, and sometimes dead-ends, as well as many temptations that test the seeker.
Most often, emotional "high" experiences are mistaken for "enlightenment" or "love." Yet, it is merely another dream, mistaking an overriding emotional center for higher states of consciousness.
The ego always likes to hijack these experiences for its own agenda, as Gurdjieff, Sri Aurobindo, and others have warned about.
I certainly wouldn't claim to be fully awake in the word's true meaning from an esoteric spiritual perspective.
Moreover and most importantly, before we can "wake up," we need to admit and truly SEE how asleep we are FIRST, realizing our mechanical/conditioned way of thinking/feeling/doing (which is also influenced by our unconscious shadow, trauma, wounding) under the illusion of control and "free will" with various (occult) forces working through us, moving and manipulating us like puppets on strings.

The mythologist Joseph Campbell noted that self-actualization is for people with nothing better to do—people who don't know their personal myth or deeper purpose in life."
But no steps can be skipped.
Many of us still need to work on becoming individuals, separating ourselves from the consensus state of the masses and past attachments, and exhausting all personality-based desires before the soul makes the call, takes charge, and embarks on the path of individuation.
And there is nothing wrong with that. The path is just the path, unique to each of us. But there are detours, distractions, and sometimes dead-ends, as well as many temptations that test the seeker.
Most often, emotional "high" experiences are mistaken for "enlightenment" or "love." Yet, it is merely another dream, mistaking an overriding emotional center for higher states of consciousness.
The ego always likes to hijack these experiences for its own agenda, as Gurdjieff, Sri Aurobindo, and others have warned about.
I certainly wouldn't claim to be fully awake in the word's true meaning from an esoteric spiritual perspective.
Moreover and most importantly, before we can "wake up," we need to admit and truly SEE how asleep we are FIRST, realizing our mechanical/conditioned way of thinking/feeling/doing (which is also influenced by our unconscious shadow, trauma, wounding) under the illusion of control and "free will" with various (occult) forces working through us, moving and manipulating us like puppets on strings.
