What if the rage, chaos, and hatred we see on the streets and online aren’t just the result of political polarization or Deep State operations, but signs of occult forces and psychic infection at work?

In my latest article, I explore how egregores, mass formation, and hyperdimensional forces hijack human consciousness, and how to stay sovereign and embodied amidst the storm.

“AI is now producing what has never been done before: the production of mass intimacy. Intimacy is a very deep social skill between human beings. I'm not talking just intimacy in terms of sexual intimacy, but emotional and intellectual intimacy or going deep with somebody in conversation.

The ability to relate to someone takes work and a certain effort on both parts. It takes relational and psychological intelligence. There needs to be self-awareness via human relating.

But now we have these AI bots, and they offer all that within a split second to billions of people. So, more and more people will stay at home and literally develop more of a relationship with their AI bots instead of human relationships.”

As the war escalates, so do the projections of hatred and anger toward Jews and Zionists on one side, and toward the regime of Iran and Arabs on the other.

It’s palpable, especially on X/Twitter. On a psychic level, you can sense yet another gigantic egregore forming and being fed, while masses of hostile entities feast on the loosh of these emotionally charged projections.

The Anti-Zionists (increasingly slipping into actual hatred of Jews) are just as much pawns in the game as the hardcore pro-Israel neocons who want war with Iran, both influenced and controlled by forces they have no awareness of.

Most people are still caught in the surface-level illusion of the 3D world, focused on external power structures: corrupt governments, the Deep State, left vs. right, Zionists, globalists, secret societies, and so on.

And while all that exists and plays a role, it’s only the outermost layer. It’s the projection on the wall of Plato’s Cave.

What’s rarely seen or understood is the deeper, non-physical architecture behind it all, a hyperdimensional control system operated by occult forces that influence events, institutions, and human behavior from behind the veil.

These are the real architects of the Matrix. Beings that do not operate according to linear time, physical laws, or human logic.

They are strategic, ancient, and highly intelligent, using humanity as a resource, harvesting loosh through trauma, division, and unconscious emotional reactivity.

They are the ones who have used religion and ideologies to create wars throughout the ages to pit humans against humans to secure their precious loosh.

As I wrote in a post a few days ago: with Neptune just entering Aries (and staying there until 2039), expect more war.

Ideological wars. Civil wars. Religious wars. Holy wars.

It marks the beginning of a new cycle of spiritual warfare.

This isn’t fear-mongering or doom and gloom. It’s simply part of this cycle.

There are deeper karmic and spiritual lessons.

Neptune in Aries will also help and inspire us to see beyond the surface level of human conflict and reveal the spiritual forces at work.

It’s not enough to say this is a spiritual war without understanding the non-physical forces operating from behind the veil through humanity.

The war is through us. Always has been.

Godspeed.

Good time to repost this article/video.
I used to be a passionate pro-Palestine activist.
But over the years, I began to see something deeper at play: forces that manipulate both sides, hijack our empathy, and feed on our outrage.
This article is not about defending Israel. It’s not about defending Palestine. I don't care about either flag.
It’s about the psycho-spiritual warfare behind the conflict, the mass projections and emotional manipulation, and how I had to confront my own shadow in the process.
If you’re ready to look past the political drama and into the occult layers beneath the surface, read the full piece here:

“There needs to be a certain level of compassion because most people who have fallen for the agenda are just very conditioned, programmed, wounded, and traumatized.

These people are not “evil”. You don’t want to treat them with blind compassion, but you don’t want to project your hate and anger onto them either because that creates the food these entities want you to emit, and then they feed off it. So be very careful.

The moment you put somebody down and see yourself as “more awake” than somebody else, your self-importance gets activated. This is how the matrix works through you; the occult forces and the matrix have you, and Wetiko has taken you over.”

“Getting through difficult times and staying connected to your heart amidst it gives you a type of power. Not worldly power, but soul power. Soul power is something associated with your spiritual and psychological growth, your character, and the development of virtues.

Those who can face the darkness right now; who don't deny it, spiritually bypass it, or get consumed by it; while still maintaining the light inside of their heart will get a massive boost in the vitality and power of their soul afterwards.

That soul power is the fuel you need in dark times. It is the power of your soul which can turn difficult experiences into wisdom and love.”

This is a spiritual war.
Always has been.

Humanity is the battleground for the war is through us.
Always has been.

There are non-physical forces and beings that have had a grip on humanity for eons, pitting humans against humans.

While people are distracted by Trump, Netanyahu, Israel, Iran, Jews, Zionists, Communists, Fascists, etc, whoever they want to blame.

You are influenced by these forces as well, and they hijack your attention, focus, and perception, guiding your behavior more than you are aware of.

Now would be a good time to learn about the spiritual forces that act on and through humanity.

Yes, there are divine forces. But they won't bail you out or save humanity. They can assist, but they know that we need to learn those lessons ourselves.

The bigger deception will be hostile forces posing as divine beings which many people already fall for in the New Age and UFO community, as humanity is being prepped for "disclosure."

As I said, Neptune just entered Aries and stays there until 2039.

This transit manifests as spiritual warfare coming to the forefront.

Embrace it for the opportunity and lesson it is.

There is no "political solution." It needs to be faced on a psycho-spiritual occult level by reclaiming our spiritual nature.

New Age copouts of "positive thinking" or denial will be as futile as fear, doom, and gloom projections.

These forces feed off shadow projections and fear, and they tag into the suppressed shadow created by forced "positivity."

The only way out is in and through without attachment to "good" or "bad", success or failure.

The key is to make the darkness conscious without dwelling on it or denying it.

But the ego is afraid and very reluctant to face darkness and the potential for evil within (which we all have), and where these occult forces tag in.

The darker and denser the shadow in a person, the more the denial, defensiveness, projections, and reluctance to face it in oneself, and the more the need to suppress it or project it externally.

Much is beyond our control, as some things have to play themselves out based on karmic trajectories that started thousands of years ago.

All is in the hands of God, yet we are called to step up as His servants during this Time of Transition.

Godspeed.

“You can see mass formation psychosis throughout history in political ideologies from far left to far right, such as Communist, Fascist, and totalitarian regimes that have resulted in the murder of millions of people.

All the while, masses of people supporting these regimes were hypnotized automatons carrying out and supporting the agenda.

Keep in mind that they never felt they were supporting or engaging in evil acts. They believed they were on the good side, often fueled by self-righteousness and moral superiority, as well as virtue signaling, and always projecting an evil image onto the “other side.” At the same time, they felt morally justified, better, and “innocent.”

“Stay aware of what is happening in the world, but don’t get taken over by the collective unconscious because that is what Wetiko is tagging into. You have to be able to dive in and then withdraw and then dive back in and withdraw again and be aware of the collective forces.

It’s important to stay connected to something beyond the collective consciousness, which will be the majority of our spiritual work right now.

Don’t let them suck you into the timeline they are trying to install. The more we buy into and feed that, the more we will get trapped energetically.”

“Follow your soul and not your mind, your soul that answers to the Truth, not your mind that leaps at appearances; trust the Divine Power and she will free the godlike elements in you and shape all into an expression of Divine Nature.

You must put aside what you want and wish to know what God wants; distrust what your heart, your passions or your habitual opinions prefer to hold as right and necessary, and passing beyond them, like Arjuna in the Gita, seek only to know what God has set down as right and necessary.

Be strong in the faith that whatever is right and necessary will inevitably happen as the result of your due fulfilment of the kartavyam karma, even if it is not the result that you preferred or expected.

The power that governs the world is at least as wise as you and it is not absolutely necessary that you should be consulted or indulged in its management; God is seeing to it.

Regard your life as given you only for the divine work and to help in the divine manifestation. Desire nothing but the purity, force, light, wideness, calm, Ananda of the divine consciousness and its insistence to transform and perfect your mind, life and body.

Ask for nothing but the divine, spiritual and supramental Truth, its realisation on earth and in you and in all who are called and chosen and the conditions needed for its creation and its victory over all opposing forces.”

- Sri Aurobindo

“Shadow work is not just a tool; it's a way of life and the way that you can illuminate the darkness within yourself and, therefore, in the whole world.

This is key; until we realize the gold, creative potential, integration, and wholeness we gain from integrating the shadow, we tend to avoid facing these parts of ourselves. We don't want to acknowledge these ugly parts and these painful things to look at.

But when you realize the gateway to Spirit, to God, is through those dark places, you start to become curious about them because you're like, oh, interesting, that trigger is coming up again. All that projection is coming up again. What is this about? What is this related to? You have a much different relationship to things that you would have tried to avoid.”

Pro-war or anti-war, choose your side, blame Trump or praise him, as everyone is a geopolitical expert again.

However, social media activism and protest are just as useless as believing that neutrality and shutting your eyes and ears to the world while focusing only on your personal reality bubble is the “solution.”

Wars and atrocities won’t be stopped by your casual assent or social media posts.

For the most part, they just offer an emotional outlet to announce your “outrage”, moral virtue signaling, and feed your ego the illusion that you’re doing something “good,”

Maybe you get some dopamine hits for every “like” your outrage or anti-war post generates, while nothing fundamental changes in yourself or in the world at all.

Krishnamurti hit the nail on the head many decades ago. I remember handing out the text below as a leaflet shortly after the US attacked Iraq in 2003, 22 years ago. Some of you protesting now were still in kindergarten or high school.

Nothing will change until you take an earnest look in the mirror.

When you are sincere in this self-inquiry, piercing beyond the crust of your personality mask to face your shadow, you will be shocked by the things you see in yourself and how you lie to yourself about being a “good”, “moral”, and “peaceful” person.

You will see the war “out there” is in you.

Just like you’re disturbed by what’s happening in the world, the real work begins when you recognize the futility of trying to change the outside world without transforming yourself.

But many are too scared (or lazy) to face themselves and so evil and darkness are being projected externally on the “other”, while the occult hostile forces take advantage of your unconscious shadow.

And so round and round we go….

Even Sri Aurobindo said “what is not faced within must manifest as war” echoing what became Carl Jung’s life work on the shadow.

We still have a long way to go.

•—————

“To bring about peace in the world, to stop all wars, there must be a revolution in the individual, in you and me.

To put and end to this sorrow, to hunger, to war, there must be psychological revolution and few of us are willing to face that.

We will discuss peace, plan legislation, create new leagues, the United Nations and so on; but we will not win peace because we will not give up our position, our authority, our lives.

To rely on others is utterly futile; others cannot bring us peace. No leader is going to gives us peace, no government, no army, no country.

What will bring peace is inward transformation, which will lead to outward action. Inward transformation is not isolation, is not withdrawal from outward action.

On the contrary, there can be right action only when there is right thinking and there is no right thinking when there is no self-knowledge.

Without knowing yourself, there is no peace.

An Ideal is merely an escape, an avoidance of what is, a contradiction of what is. An ideal prevents direct action upon what is.

To have peace, we will have to love, we will have to begin not to live an ideal life but to see things as they are and act upon them, transform them.

Some of you will nod your heads and say, “I agree”, and go outside and do exactly the same as you have been doing for the last ten or twenty years.

Your agreement is merely verbal and has no significance, for the world’s miseries and wars are not going to be stopped by your casual assent.

They will be only stopped when you realize the danger, when you realize your responsibility, when you do not leave it to somebody else.

If you realize the suffering, if you see the urgency of immediate action and do not postpone, then you will transform yourself.”

- Krishnamurti

How The Hero’s Journey is Different for Women

Many women have been drawn to feminism as a knee-jerk reaction to patriarchy in a male-dominated world. In that process, many lost connection to their sacred femininity.

As a counterbalance, we’ve seen a cultural and social shift to the other extreme with the rise of the “trad wife”, the “dream woman” for the conservative male crowd, who is expected to be a homestead mom, raise the kids at home, cook, look pretty, and serve the man.

This oversimplified dynamic is also reflected in the polarity relationship movement, which promotes a shallow view of male-female dynamics, claiming that women need to submit to their leading men, who are supposed to be providers.

All these approaches are mostly externally focused and based on superficial personality traits and role-playing of how a feminine woman and a masculine man are supposed to act.

Then there’s the “Divine Union” and New Age approach to what a “Divine woman/Goddess” or "Divine masculine" is supposed to be, full of expectations and “shoulds.”

It’s a misappropriation and externalization of Hieros Gamos, which is actually an inner process and may or may not result in an outer relationship.

Even if a woman seems to have it “all”: the husband, children, looks, a career, a house, money. It all looks perfect on the outside (as many like to portray on social media), but she can still feel depressed, lost, and unfulfilled inside, cut off from her soul being, masked by an idealized image presented to the world.

On the other side, many women are lonely and jaded, secretly or openly jealous of other women, and projecting blame onto men for their own sense of emptiness and unfulfillment.

The loss of essence and sacred femininity, along with over-identification with the physical body (driven by social programming), shows up in the rise of cosmetic surgeries, botox, and fillers, which have become normalized, even among women in their 20s and 30s.

To reconnect with her essence and soul, a woman must go on her Heroine’s Quest, which differs from the Hero’s Journey popularized by Joseph Campbell (which is more geared toward men).

Our latest podcast is a powerful exploration of the Heroine’s Journey, a psycho-spiritual map of feminine awakening.

The Heroine’s path is an inward descent a woman goes through in her process of individuation, marked by the rejection and eventual reclamation of the feminine, the healing of the mother wound, and the integration of a new inner masculine, her animus.

I also highly recommend that men listen to this episode. I learned a lot from it as Laura mapped out the journey.

While centered on the feminine experience, this journey is deeply valuable for men. It offers insight into the inner world of women, which can help a man support the women in his life and enrich relationships through conscious awareness and shared themes such as soul loss, transformation, and integration.

This episode also includes practices and reflective questions for each step of the Heroine’s Journey.

“When a woman’s need to achieve becomes an addiction, she may experience a physical illness or an accident that potentially stops her in her tracks and makes her ask, what is all of this that I’m doing for?

Because in spite of all her achievements and having everything that the world told her would make her happy, she feels empty inside. Maybe she feels lonely. Betrayed. She often feels like she lost something because she has.

When a woman rejects the feminine and its negative qualities, she creates an imbalance within. In Jungian terms, she is now animus possessed. She is over-identified with logic and efficiency but at the cost of a connection to her body, feelings, intuition, and feminine nature.

She might even consciously mourn this loss. She might notice a loss of time for family and creative projects and feel a numbing of her body and emotions.”

“A big aspect of Jungian shadow work and inner and psychological work, is facing the potential for evil within us. This is a humbling and confronting process, and you need healthy ego strength to do this work.

An individual with solid ego strength approaches challenges with a sense that he or she can overcome the problem and even grow as a result. That’s really what you need to understand in light of what’s happening in the world. It’s also my motto, so to speak, all there is are lessons, everything can be a teaching function.

From a deeper spiritual, esoteric perspective, people need to understand these evil forces provide a deeper teaching function; they are all we need to learn in order to graduate to the next level in our evolutionary journey.

If you can face the evil within, you can contribute to the healing of evil in this world, transmuting it, and bringing in the light. The more you understand the evil within you, the more you can face it externally.”

“Many women have forgotten how to foster themselves, meaning they don't take care of their emotions and inner life. They may realize that their drive to succeed has been driven by someone else's goals.
 
For them, it's usually driven by a deep unconscious need to please their parents, especially how they have internalized their father. And most of all, they've learned how to succeed by emulating masculine traits, but they've had to cut off parts of their feminine nature to do so.
 
This realization begins a process of initiation where the woman has to descend into the underworld to retrieve the parts of herself that she's cut off. She has to meet her grief, her rage, and her dark feminine side. It can take weeks, months, and even years to go through this, but most of all, she needs to learn being instead of doing.”

“Entities feed off certain frequencies; they feed on all the projections and the emotional loosh, the friction between human beings, their lower nature, and frequency. It’s sustenance for them.

It’s very easy for people who excessively and compulsively use social media to become unconscious portals for these occult hyperdimensional entities and hostile forces working through them. Hence, the Agent Smith syndrome.

Anyone can easily become a portal for them and then target others by means of distraction, personal attacks, or trolling.

These entities feed on all kinds of narcissistic behavior, self-importance, and attention-seeking, as well as projections, triggers, passive aggressiveness, gossip, and slander in online conflicts and arguments that get personal very quickly.”

I posted this before but it bears repeating.

The number one regret people have on their deathbed is:

“I wish I had the courage to live a more truthful and authentic life, not what others expected of me. I didn’t live my own life.”

Here are six more common regrets people have shared before dying, based on the work of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, who worked with thousands of terminally ill people and helped them transition:

“I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.”
“I wish I had been more loving to the people who mattered most.”
“I wish I had not spent so much time working.”
“I wish I had taken more risks.”
“I wish I had chosen work that was meaningful for me, not just for money, security, and status.”
“I wish I’d allowed myself to love more and let go of pride and resentment.”

These are things to contemplate, especially now, in an age of endless distractions and information overload.

As Gurdjieff said, the moment you’re born, you live on borrowed time. And we never know when our time will come.

Luciferian Temptation Disguised as Ascension.

From an occult and esoteric perspective, thinking you’re awake while lost in delusion is more dangerous than being asleep without pretending to be awake.

Overestimating your level of consciousness and inflating your identity through labels like “starseed,” “gridworker,” “lightworker,” or “indigo” creates a false sense of specialness.

This blocks the humility needed for sincere, grounded psycho-spiritual work, which is the foundation of real awakening. Your true soul-being is not identified with any labels; only the ego is.

The spiritual ego is harder to break than the ego of someone still asleep in the matrix.

This is the root of spiritual narcissism, which is becoming increasingly common.

The illusion of being special or chosen becomes a mask for unresolved childhood wounds, insecurity, and unhealed trauma.

Whether it’s claiming to be an ambassador for ET races, a chosen contactee for the Galactic Federation, a starseed on a special mission, or a self-righteous reborn Christian convinced they have special access to God, it all feeds the same inflation.

Any identity that reinforces specialness and attachment to spiritual labels becomes a trap.

It also opens the door to hostile forces. This is the Luciferian temptation.

Hostile entities, often disguised as benevolent beings, feed on this self-importance and spiritual inflation.

They reinforce the illusion of specialness through flattery and seductive downloads that keep the person trapped in spiritual delusion.

The New Age astral circus is filled with alluring deceptions, including channelings of alien beings, extraterrestrial federations, and assertions of access to special light codes and DNA upgrades to facilitate “ascension.” Many people accept these ideas at face value.

The belief that “resonance equals truth” becomes a dangerous justification for spiritual bypassing and occult manipulation.

As Gurdjieff said, the most dangerous state is to dream you are awake while still fully asleep.

In that condition, the person believes they are awake and spreading truth, when in reality, they have become a puppet for forces they are not even aware of.

That kind of delusion is harder to break than ignorance because it is protected by pride, a sense of specialness, and an inflated spiritual identity that believes itself to be awake and has access to “inside” or “special” knowledge.

This creates what esoteric traditions call a false foundation, which is more difficult to break down than a generic false personality.

The ego structure fuses with a spiritual identity and mistakenly believes itself to be awake.

At best, you get distracted, waste some time and energy, but eventually learn some valuable lessons.

At worst, you become entrapped and regress while dreaming of being awake.

The esoteric traditions warn against getting lost in the astral occult maze, where deceptive beings reside.

Godspeed.
