"The "Great Awakening" is not just an external event. It’s not just exposing all the corruption and evil in the world. It’s as much, and even more so, an internal process.

It's about facing our shadows, wounds, traumas, conditioning, attachments, identifications, and disillusionment to be reborn in the true Self.

It's about allowing anything that is not in alignment with TRUTH and who we TRULY ARE beyond the programmed personality mask to be washed away by the metaphorical waves of change and burned away in the fire of transmutation.

No one can escape or run away from what is unfolding. No place in the “old world” is safe from it."

“Remember, in 1984, the Party only got people to state “2+2=5” by exhausting them psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually until they could no longer bear it and were forced to accept the new false reality. The people eventually became so depleted that they were willing to accept lies as truth.

This is your sign to remember to take good care of your health emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

We win the spiritual war by making sure we tend to the flame inside our hearts and souls and doing what we can to keep it burning bright.”

“By sanctifying all your actions, no matter how small, as a sincere offering to the Divine and recognizing the beauty of creation in gratitude in everyday life, you help lift the consciousness of humanity more than trying to expose all the psy-ops and conspiracies in the world.”

“You need time alone to clear the psychic debris in your mind and the thoughts and ideas you pick up from others. You need silence and boredom to tap into your creativity.

Most people are terrified of being alone with their thoughts, never mind plumbing into the depths of their psyche and all the memories and images that reside there, so they fill their lives with noise, information, social media, YouTube, and podcasts, constantly keeping themselves busy. They are often running away from themselves and their feelings.

Yet it is only through quiet moments of self-reflection, where you are willing to explore your deepest fears and confront yourself, that you also discover your deepest gifts. It is in this silence that you can begin to hear the voice of your soul again.

You need silence and solitude to remember who you are. When you take time to change your inner being, your whole life changes afterwards.”

“Nothing ever occurs by chance or as a random occurrence. Every single action or effect has an underlying cause, and there are no exceptions to this — ever.
 
There is a higher divine order. The seeming “chaos” in the world or our personal lives is based on ignorance of universal laws, divine will, and our limited monkey mind perception.
 
The causes are set up in the invisible/unseen or unknown to us and then manifest in the visible as the effect. The ego lives under the illusion that it is in control.
 
In other words, the inter-relationship between a specific cause and effect is never truly clear to us in our very limited mental perception. Hence, we all can easily mistake symptoms for causes.
 
There is also a collective process regarding the bigger picture of the evolution of consciousness, which we are all affected by and influenced by—and this manifests differently for each of us.”

“[With the fall of Atlantis and ancient Egypt] we need to look at what is happening now, not from a place of, “Oh my God, here we go again, we’re doomed.” That’s a disempowering mindset.

Instead, we need to see this as a spiritual opportunity to redeem the mistakes made in Atlantis through our own awakening, right use of power, and alignment with natural and divine law.

This is really important, and it’s not going to be easy because we also have different Soratic spirits operating through transhumanism who can influence us.

Even in Steiner’s time, you didn’t have access to the spiritual mystical knowledge that we do today; it was very hard to find. The amazing thing is that now, through the Internet, you can gain access to any information, any tool. The question is: Will you actually apply it to your life?”

The Danger of Misdiagnosing Entity Attachments

“Awakening, in its truest sense, is an internal process. It’s when the veil lifts not just from society, but the ones covering the connection to your soul and God. It’s a remembering of who you were before you were shaped by your conditioning, before you became the version of yourself that you needed to be in order to survive.

And that process is not always pretty because it’s a stripping away, a death. It often requires a descent to the underworld and a willingness to endure a dark night of the soul.

And it can cost you everything, but in return, it gives you the one thing that can’t be taken away—your true self, the real you, your essence beneath the masks you wear, the wounds you carry, and the illusions you’ve been clinging to

Whether you found this awakening through a healing crisis, a dark night of the soul, a relationship breakup, or maybe the chaos of the world has made you ask deeper questions, like “Who am I really?” Awakening will ask the same thing of all of us: the courage to let go of the person we were, so we can become who we really are.”

“It's easy to fall into fear and paranoia right now. I almost see an injection of Soratic or Asuric forces, along with cynicism, fear, and all this negative influence from the media, but we need to stay spiritually strong during this time.

This is a spiritual war. A war of our souls. But it’s also an opportunity, which is so important.

Don’t fall into the trap of victimhood, blame, or fear. We need to raise our spirits. That's the key and the antidote to counteract these forces and not give in to temptation.”

“When you realize that it was never you, your ego that you identify with, your personality that is truly in charge, but a greater intelligence, the divine spirit, God is steering the ship, it’s something larger than you.
 
The big question is, who's the “I” you think you are, and the different sub-personalities who think they are in charge? When I look back, I can see through all the distortions of my wounded, conditioned personality, that God was always working through me, even in some of the decisions I thought were mine.
 
Or God steered me towards a certain direction where I didn't understand the causation or the end effect and looking back, connecting the dots, now I realize God was always guiding me, but I was not in charge even though I thought I was.
 
You give up the illusion of control and realize that the ego is just meant to be an instrument, a servant, but it is not in charge. And the more you are connected to yourself, to your essence, then there's a certain flow that becomes available.”

“The first thing you lose when you wake up is your false identities. Certain roles, titles, masks, maybe even certain sub-personalities you once identified with, those will begin to dissolve.
 
You lose connection to a persona which may have taken you a long time to construct, and the false self begins to fall away to reveal the true self, which can be an ongoing process.
 
You may realize that some relationships depended on you staying wounded. People relate to your old self, but you no longer do.
 
So you have a choice: will you revert to a false identification of a wounded self that you’ve already let go of, or will you be who you really are, and will that relationship have space for you to be who you are? That’s the real test of relationships.”

“Just being your true self takes an essential amount of bravery, because we live in a world, especially in the Western world, where people are just fake-nice to each other. They relate to each other from one fake personality to another.
 
So even by the essence of just being your true self, that can trigger people because you're not playing along with this social game they've all collectively agreed to play. The second that you're being your true self, it just brings up all sorts of stuff in people, mostly on a subconscious level.”

“What looks like love is most often, especially at the beginning, pure projection. It’s our soul’s attempt to find itself in another.

The man with his anima leads with feeling and fantasy. The woman with her animus leads with judgment or ideology. This is an example of a man who is anima-possessed versus a woman who is animus-possessed. They are not integrated, just possessed.

Emotional vulnerability meets intellectual resistance, and connection becomes conflict because they are almost polar opposites. Then there’s idealization and disillusionment.

The man who projects his anima onto the woman sees her as a goddess or muse. While when she projects her animus onto him, she sees him as a wise man or savior. The fantasy shatters. Love turns into blame, withdrawal, resentment, and power struggles.”

A superpower over the next few years will be the ability to focus, concentrate, and hold your attention for long periods on what truly matters, amid increasing distractions and temptations.

It will be the ability to tap into your creative spirit, stay connected to your true Self as a unique expression of the Divine, and bring forth your specific creative gifts and talents that the world needs from YOU during this Time of Transition.

We are entering an incredible era of magnificent opportunities for a greater awakening, creative potential, and abundance (which is not to be mistaken for just money).

At the same time, there is the danger and temptation to take the path of least resistance, lose your soul, and become enslaved by an artificial, disembodied entrapment.

The choice is ours.

“Being healthily detached with what happens on the internet is a crucial survival skill. So many people these days are psychologically and emotionally controlled by what happens on their screens. In this Information age, this leaves them vulnerable for various forms of psychological warfare.
 
Pay attention to your body and your emotional state when you’re online and pull yourself away when you notice yourself becoming tense and miserable. Remember to nurture your heart by focusing on what uplifts your mind, body, and spirit.

Instead of focusing on the next psy-op, remember to water the flowers (metaphorically speaking) of that which brings you joy in the world around you. In a time of so many shadows being revealed, you will be the beacon of light shining in the darkness.”

“Identification with a race (or the physical body) is essentially a lower state of consciousness (so is pride and taking "pride" in one's race, heritage, culture, ancestry, or family line) that most humans (about 80%) are still trapped in.
 
On higher levels of consciousness, one becomes more identified with one's Divine essence, the eternal true Self, and less and less identified with the body, skin color, family, ancestry, and culture.
 
This is not an intellectual disidentification or mental rejection. The intellect and mind are in the way of the higher inner realization, as most people are caught in the mental realm.
This also doesn't mean or imply that one doesn't take care of one's body, family, or even nation, but there is NO IDENTIFICATION with any of it.
 
Your sense of self and self-value are not attached to any of that, for you have found the kingdom within.”

As more people use Chat-GPT to create entire posts and articles, there will be more demand for soul-infused creative writers that no machine will ever be able to replicate.

People disconnected from their soul essence tend to gravitate more toward AI-created content and may struggle to distinguish it from authentic human-created content.

They may also imitate others, and in some cases, plagiarize others because of their lack of connection to their creative daimon.

And that’s fine. As I wrote in my recent article, it is part of the splitting of humanity.

Writing is not just about the correct phrasing, the words, the grammar, hooks, or a wide range of vocabulary, or all the other “how to be a good writer” technical skills.

It is the consciousness behind the words of the writer that makes the words come alive (or not).

It is that energy force that emanates from the words (be it on the screen or in print) that affects the reader.

Each type of writing has an elemental being that has been created through it, and it affects you.

When I read the works of spiritual masters, or anyone who is truly authentic (connected to their essence), the words have a deep impact on me.

They touch something deep inside of me, way beyond the words themselves. It is the energy of the state of consciousness they were in when writing it.

It’s as if my soul essence recognizes theirs, and I truly feel inspired: infused with Spirit.

That’s how we inspire each other.

When you are connected to your creative spirit and grounded in essence, all comparison and competition become irrelevant, because you’ll be able to provide something only YOU can do as a unique vessel of the Divine.

As Ralph Waldo Emerson said:

**“Every man has his own vocation. The talent is the call. This talent and this call depend on his organization, or the mode in which a general soul incarnates in him.

He inclines to do something which is easy to him, and good when it is done, but which no other man can do.

He has no rival.

For the more truly he consults his own powers, the more difference will his work exhibit from the work of any other.

When he is true and faithful, his ambition is exactly proportional to his powers. By doing his work, he makes the need felt which only he can supply.”**

AI may be able to write a technically perfect article or book, just like a robot will be able to play Beethoven’s 9th Symphony note for note on the piano with technical, superb precision, even with all the dynamics, but to the person in touch with their soul, it will feel clinically cold, lacking depth, feeling, and soul.

As I wrote before, it’s not black and white for me, and I’m not anti-AI. The key is to remain connected to your soul’s essence, nurture it, and develop it.

It is the Key to the Kingdom of God within - the infinite source of creativity.

I know it is tempting, but if you use ChatGPT to summarize books and don’t read them yourself, you’re doing yourself a big disservice that can also detrimentally affect your soul evolution.

As a test, I uploaded a couple of my favorite books from Rudolf Steiner and Sri Aurobindo to ChatGPT and asked it to summarize them extensively by chapter.

It looks impressive at first sight, but if you’ve read the books, you’ll notice the inconsistencies and watered-down summaries.

Moreover, I realized the most important part of reading a book: it’s your personal journey, and as you read the words, they leave impressions on you that penetrate into your soul.

I also have the tendency to underline sentences and paragraphs that I find important, that inspire me, or that I want to revisit and contemplate. I make notes, etc.

The ChatGPT-generated summaries hardly covered the sections I found most profound. It missed some of them completely.

There is a resonance that happens when reading books at certain sections that is unique to each of us. What you find important may be different from what I find important.

Your soul may remember it, or may need to be reminded of it, or it may be something you need to learn for your particular karmic setup and soul evolution.

AI and ChatGPT will never know exactly what you need to hear on a soul level when summarizing a book. You can customize it with the most elaborate prompt, but even you won’t know on a conscious level what your soul needs to hear.

It happens in the process of reading books. You know it when the big aha moment comes, sometimes to the point of goosebumps, tears, or laughing out in joy.

You will also be affected by the consciousness of the author of the book, which helps you absorb the information beyond just mental intake.

Don’t fall into the trap of the path of least resistance. Books take time to read because they take you on a journey. And that’s the beauty of it.

Instead, make time to read books consistently. Everyone has their own routine and preferences. Here's mine:

The first thing I do in the morning is take my dog on a walk (he wakes me up at sunrise), then do my meditation and prayer, and then sit down to read for about an hour (usually outside in the sun).

I won’t touch my phone or computer before I’m done with that.

You can get a lot of reading done this way. Consistency is key.

Godspeed.
Bernhard
