“The paranoid mindset is usually driven by both fear and extreme separation, and it is far removed from the divine. You can see all sorts of difficult things in the world and still be connected to your heart.

It’s extremely psychologically unhealthy for people to stay in that paranoid state because humans need love, connection, and relationships. You can’t be looking for the enemy everywhere.

If you’re looking for enemies all around you in the world, it’s often a trauma response where you possibly, in childhood or even going back to past lifetimes, determined that the world is not safe and that there’s constantly an enemy out there to get you.”

“We are currently in an epidemic of narcissism where the whole society amplifies narcissistic tendencies. Narcissistic pathologies have become normalized.

We see it in social media validation, influencer culture, the idea of becoming a brand, and the attention economy, all of which represent rewarding an idealized false self on social media. Then, when one enters spiritual culture, awakening itself becomes something to brand, market, display, and perform rather than truly live.

At the core, a lot of spiritual searching is based on real pain and wounding, and many people seek spiritually, sincerely, as a way to heal. So, the search begins, maybe sincerely from pain and the desire for truth, or relief and integration, but this is also where the danger begins, or the temptation, so to speak.

If those emotional wounds are not consciously processed, then spirituality can become a way of escaping pain, spiritually bypassing it rather than facing it. It is here that the spiritualized ego develops and spirituality becomes a new identity for the false self, and the path of healing, which we call spiritual bypassing, spiritual narcissism rests on this.

You see this in the new age, people often identify as an “awakened starseed,” a “wanderer,” an “indigo child,” or a “reborn Christian” involved in a neo-Christian revival. This identification can carry this type of spiritual narcissism.

But the birth of spiritual narcissism is really when the wounded self attaches to a new spiritual identity; that’s a key point. That’s when we also mistake the spiritualized ego for the true self.

That is the biggest deception of all, not to be able to differentiate what is actually the false ego personality that has hijacked the process, versus the true self that is being buried and left behind.

The person then becomes identified with being awakened, a healer, chosen, a teacher, being more conscious, or having special access to truth, and then the spiritual identity becomes the new self. Instead of using spirituality for healing, spirituality is actually used to avoid it, but the person is not aware of it.”

Most of us do not truly know ourselves, even though we think we do. We know only the ego-personality and mistake it for who we are.

We also mistake “self-work” for improving the false self and fulfilling desires. But that is not the Great Work, and awakening is not a self-improvement project.

In my latest article, I explore the deeper meaning of “Know Thyself” and why the Great Work begins where self-actualization ends.

“There’s this sort of softness that humanity has where I feel like there’s a lot of naivety with [AI]. I don’t even feel like there needs to be a ghost in the machine at this point in order to capture people.

It’s about gathering as much data as possible about humanity, which is why all these things are almost free. There’s a competition for the data right now, and I think there’s a high potential that this technology could become ceremonial.

Which means attempting to incarnate something into it, to work through it later once the data is gathered. This idea of externalism, looking for spiritual guidance from outside, actually comes from an earlier epoch of man.

In the Lemurian and Atlantean epochs, human beings weren’t individuals. We worked kind of like a hive mind or a tribe, and we actually did have spiritual technology. So, you would be able to use a crystal or whatever, and this is where we get the scrying and the crystal ball.

There was the potential to actually have answers reflected to you in a mineral consciousness, like a crystal. It’s the sort of thing [Edgar] Cayce talks about with the Atlantean crystal and the Atlantean crystalline technology.

So, there was a period in our earlier past where we were able, through external means, to have spiritual communication. However, during this period of our development, we had to go inward, and this communication had to come from inside.

Now it can’t come from outside anymore. We have to grow up, and there’s a large portion of the population that has not individuated; they’re not individuals yet, and these are the individuals who are most susceptible to this because there isn’t that turning inward for information and guidance. It’s part of human evolution, but it is a recapitulation of Atlantis.”

“We can become disconnected from parts of our soul and essence; it’s a soul fragmentation. Think of it like a circle of light, and then certain fragments get left in the past, and then that light becomes dimmer and dimmer.

So certain experiences that we had, especially if there’s a major trauma in childhood, can cause us to leave parts of our inner child behind, which holds a direct connection to the soul.

Our inner child holds a connection to our creativity, our light, our authenticity, and our spontaneity. If you look at children before they are traumatized, they’re naturally more in tune with themselves and spontaneous.

They have a lot of light and a lot of their essence in them. And over time, especially even just growing up in a world of false Personas. When they’re surrounded by people who aren’t able to mirror back that soul essence to them, it can make them disconnect from that part of themselves.

Then they learn that in order to be liked and loved in this world, they also need to put on a mask. They need to become more like this person that their parent or society really likes.

Basically, they start to develop this Persona over time because they’re surrounded by people who are totally identified with that Persona, with their ego, and they aren’t having their essence mirrored back from them.”

“Divine grace is an act of the divine, an act of God that intervenes in our lives sometimes suddenly and sometimes less dramatically. The main thing with divine grace is that it tends to act beyond the limitations of karma or our ideas of karma.

We have to realize that we only have an idea of what our karma is and what we’ve earned and what we haven’t, and divine grace acts completely beyond that, and our mental idea of what is right and what is wrong.

We tend to also have judgments about morality that we’ve picked up from different spiritual or religious traditions. Divine grace acts beyond our own moral ideas and our human ideas of what is right or wrong, and most importantly, it acts beyond how much we think we’ve earned it.

Whether we’ve done all of the “right” things, been of service, been loving, whatever our ideas of being a good person are, it acts completely beyond that. Divine grace tends to transform us, sometimes suddenly, sometimes more gently over time. You can’t predict or manifest it.

It really just acts from God’s own vision and has a deeper purpose. And that deeper purpose is often hidden to us and our ordinary consciousness, because we’re not all-knowing like God is.

Yet the experience will often bring us towards a deeper awakening, a deeper relationship with life, with God, with ourselves, and with other people. Divine grace tends to help us heal in some way, or it helps us spiritually make progress.”

“There are two “traps”, the first one is denying evil. A lot of people do this by saying something like, “I don’t want to give it attention” and think if they do that, therefore it doesn’t exist.”

-Bernhard Guenther

“Some people don’t want to pay any attention to evil because they claim it “feeds it,” but what they don’t realize is that by avoiding it, they are avoiding a relationship with a part of themselves, and that is Wetiko.

That’s the elusiveness and how tricky it is to deal with evil. When good, kind, spiritual people with the best of intentions say, “I don’t want to focus on evil,” they are unwittingly offering themselves into evil’s hands.

Then there is externalizing and projecting it, and the whole dynamic of projecting the shadow. That’s the psychological dynamic that underlies Wetiko. Jung calls projecting the shadow the lie, and that’s the devil.”

“During this Time of Transition, it becomes ever more imperative to align with Dharma, your specific Dharma, rooted in Self, and to do what the Divine asks of you. This will not necessarily be what your ego thinks it wants. It will push you out of your comfort zone, force you to face what you don’t like to see within yourself and in the world, and burn you in the fire of transmutation... just as Arjuna embraced the battle with Krishna on his side.

This is a long-term transition spanning many centuries, and the most important thing you can do for yourself, your family, your community, and the world is to live in accordance with your Dharma, which is specific to YOU, and to engage in conscious inner work.

There is nothing to escape from.

Do you really know who you are and what you are here to do, or are you wasting your time on the news and social media, waiting for some sort of arrest or for someone to save the day, as if “Evil” can be just eliminated externally?

Well, look in the mirror.

Are you a consumer, a spectator, or a creator? Get off the cheap seats, get into the arena, and show up. Or are you in denial and believe things will just move along and you won’t be affected by this global shift? You are not separate from anything you perceive as the “outside” world. Your level of being and consciousness affects the world.

The more you have integrated the shadow and made the darkness conscious within yourself, the more you contribute to humanity, lift it up, and seed the energies of the next cycle.

Who you are inside, your level of consciousness, and inner alignment with the Divine Force, is what guides you through these times and, especially, in the afterlife across many incarnations.

That is what allows you to be an impactful, positive part of this transition and prepares you to be a seed for the next cycle.

Enjoy the ride.”

“In evolutionary astrology, Jeffrey Wolf Green, who was the creator of this form of astrology, stated that 70% of the population live in a CONSENSUS state, which is like a herd mentality. These are what some may call the “NPCs” of the world. They do not form their own independent thoughts.
 
When they want to know what their opinions are on certain topics, they look to the external world to tell them what to think. These are the kinds of people who tend to get the most offended when you present them with certain views outside of the current mainstream paradigm, mainly because their beliefs represent unconscious security needs.
 
They (unconsciously) gain security in trusting the mainstream media, celebrities, the “experts”, and the government. They don’t think for themselves, so they seek security in outsourcing their opinions to the outer world.
 
Moving from this consensus mentality to an individuated state (the next stage of evolution) is often a traumatic process because instead of trusting the external world, you have to learn to trust Self as an inner guidance system.
 
And you have to decondition and undo a lot of what you thought was true about yourself and the world in the process. This process involves soul-searching, asking the question “who am I?” and questioning a lot of the beliefs and programming you have picked up from your family, culture, and the society you live in.
 
This is also an alienating and lonely process, by design. Carl Jung calls this the process of “individuation” and says that it must involve a confrontation with the shadow. The main thing to realize is that you can’t force people out of the consensus state.
 
Any movement of the soul has to come from their own inner calling. It has to come from within them finally realizing that there is something different inside of them that cannot be explained by the experts/science/celebrities/government.
 
It takes a certain readiness of soul to even go down this path. Most people will refuse the call of their own individuation again and again because their unconscious security needs to stay in the known of the consensus and gain security from it is so strong.
 
This is why trying to wake up family, friends, and others, in general, is almost always a failed project. The best thing you can do in these times is focus on your own soul evolution and find something unique about you that you can bring back to the world.”

In the latest Cosmic Matrix episode, I speak with researcher and author Bibhu Dev Misra, author of Yuga Shift: The End of the Kali Yuga and the Impending Planetary Transformation, about the Yuga Cycle, the end of the Kali Yuga, and the larger planetary transformation now underway.

This was one of the most fascinating conversations I’ve had on the podcast in a long time.

We cover:

• The major misconceptions about the Yuga Cycle
• Why we are not already in the Dwapara Yuga
• Why the Kali Yuga is not 432,000 years long
• The Yugas as cycles of consciousness, not technological progress or material comfort
• The long decline in human intelligence, wisdom, lifespan, and higher capacities
• Ancient cataclysms and civilizational resets
• The critical transition window between 2029 and 2040
• Solar activity, cosmic radiation, and the galactic center
• Comets as destructive and regenerative forces in times of transition
• How ancient cultures understood comets as omens, messengers, and divine agencies
• The newly discovered comet MAPS and its possible connection to a recent prophecy potentially coming to fruition this Easter
• The Taurid meteor stream, which returns about every 3,000 years and may soon intersect with Earth again
• The thinning of the veil and the appearance of spiritual hierarchies and interdimensional beings
• UFOs and the return of non-human intelligences
• The split between technocratic control and spiritual awakening
• Why the real preparation is not fear or survivalism, but inner transformation, and alignment with dharma and Divine Will

“We have gone deeper into materialism, deeper into narcissism, and more into war and violence. There are more divisions and hatred now than there were 200 years ago. Even in the last 50 years, the condition of our society has degraded drastically into more hatred, violence, and greed.

Greed is now the main factor driving the lives of most people, and when you fall prey to greed, you are willing to do away with most moral principles because you want to get what you want.

From that standpoint, it never made any sense to me when somebody says that we are in the ascending Dwapara Yuga, because consciousness has been declining rapidly over the last 200 years.

Besides, if you consult texts like the Mahabharata, which tells you the kind of society that existed in the previous Dwapara Yuga, you would see that people were virtuous, society was elevated, and people had many powers that could manifest.

There were avatars like Krishna and Balarama, and I’m sure there were similar avatars in other cultures as well. Very high-souled people who were guiding humanity. They were sages who provided knowledge, wisdom, and guiding principles. We don’t have that today.

We don’t have that guidance, and we don’t have those powers. We don’t have that virtue in our society, and our society today looks nothing at all like the society of the previous Dwapara Yuga, so it never made sense to me.

I knew there was something wrong with Sri Yukteswar’s framework, and that motivated me to find out what was actually going on.”

“It’s important to understand the concept of repair in relationship – which is any attempt you make to de-escalate the situation when there is conflict. You need to repair when you are both calm; it can’t be when the four horsemen [from John Gottman] are present – criticism, contempt, defensiveness, stonewalling.

We need to be in a place of presence to repair, and this means listening to the other person until they feel understood.

That's the key point of repair: when the other person feels understood and heard, their nervous system relaxes.

This means being vulnerable and apologizing for your part in the conflict. If both partners can be vulnerable and apologize for their part, they can listen to the other person until they feel understood.

Once you establish that, this can be a co-regulative and healing relationship, which is where real intimacy comes in.

With this kind of relationship, you can open yourself vulnerably, speak to this person, and feel heard, and immediately, that is intimacy building.”

“There is a cleansing that happens at the end of every age, because of the way we abused our planet throughout the course of a cycle, like dumping all this waste. There is a need for a planetary rejuvenation, but there is also a tendency for people to gradually become more corrupt, greedy, and violent.

The Hopi talk about the four worlds and how, at the end of every world, people were always forgetting the message that was given to them by Sotuknang. They were always getting greedier and more violent.

And every time there was some kind of cataclysm that obliterated the previous civilization, only a few people who still followed the divine laws and Dharma were able to make it to the next phase of civilization.

When you look at the actual data, you find bursts of cataclysmic activity over the last 12,000 years. Today we live in the Iron Age, but there was a transition called the Late Bronze Age Collapse, which happened between 1100 BCE to around 800-700 BCE.

That was the time all the Bronze Age civilizations across the world collapsed in a heap, followed by the Iron Age civilization. Similarly, Bronze Age civilizations all began around 3,500-3,600 BCE, whether in Egypt, Mesopotamia, or the Indus Valley, while all the Neolithic cultures that existed before disappeared.

These kinds of shifts keep happening, but they are not as cataclysmic as the changes that happen at the end of a 12,000-year cycle. These are minor cataclysms that happen gradually over around 300 years. You might have impact events, or you might have earthquakes, volcanoes, or flooding events.

Then some people and their descendants make it to the next stage, and you see a flowering of new wisdom, technology, architectural skills and styles, new forms of government, and new gods and goddesses.

There is a renewal that takes place every 3,000 years, which is the duration of a Yuga. It’s 2,700 years, and then you have a roughly 300-year transition period. Now we are entering into a long period of transition, called Ekpyrosis.”

“After struggling with depression for most of my life, I’ve realized that depression has a lot to do with suppressed/frozen emotions that have been held in the body for too long. Since it takes a lot of unconscious energy to have that emotional suppression continue, it then creates the low energy state of depression.

Depression is a frozen state. A frozen emotional state of limbo. You are frozen in your body, in your emotional range, and frozen from taking steps in your life.

The longer that emotional suppression has gone on, the larger the backlog of emotions which are being held in the body that need to be felt and let go of when the body unfreezes.

Maybe at first, you feel numb, and you learn to be okay with that numbness. Teach yourself to slowly release the valve on any emotions you had to learn to suppress to survive. Teach your body to recognize the safety of what it’s like to be witnessed again.

Depression is often a cover-up for deep grief, and only once your body feels safe to express itself, does all that grief come out again. Like a tidal wave, at times, like a quiet lake at others.

The water is your emotional states coming unfrozen. The water is your grief coming to the surface. The way water moves is how the tears of your inner child wants to be expressed.

The more you can bear witness to your numbness, your sadness, your anger, your fear, and even your rage, the more your body will feel safe enough for the most loving part of you to come back into your heart again. Because someone will be there to witness.”

“Your level of consciousness shapes how you perceive the world. In lower states, you’re more likely to see darkness, doom and gloom, and psy-ops everywhere. Even if some psy-ops don’t exist, your paranoid mind will fabricate them.

You find yourself living in conscious or unconscious fear and negativity, trapped in the mental fortress of the mind, disembodied and disconnected from Essence.

As you raise your consciousness through sincere inner psycho-spiritual work by bringing forth the true Self rather than relying on “positive thinking,” you begin to process and transmute suppressed emotions and shadow material without projecting them outward in blame or victimhood.

Perception shifts from a fragmented, linear view to a more unified, non-linear vision. Reality becomes more nuanced, more fluid, and less caught in rigid black-and-white dualities like good or bad or either/or.

You will still perceive evil and dark forces operating in and through humanity (unless you’ve bypassed your inner work, engaged in the philosophical non-duality bypass, and mistake ignorance for "awakening"), but you’ll also begin to understand their role in the larger karmic journey of consciousness evolution.

You become less fixated on their outer manifestations and more attuned to the inner alchemical process required to transmute them. You realize that outer evil mirrors the unresolved personal and collective shadow.

This doesn’t mean that all dark forces or spirits of evil are simply parts of your shadow, but they operate through it. They feed on your unconsciousness, hidden blind spots, projections, and unexamined triggers.

This becomes a new way of being, aligned with your true Self and guided by a higher Will. You gain greater access to creativity, energy, joy, abundance, and life force. You begin to exercise true free will, no longer ruled by mechanical, reactive, and unconscious patterns.

In time, you begin to see the Divine in all things. You witness the magnificent beauty unfold through the evolution of consciousness and recognize that even evil has a purpose, serving as a catalyst for awakening as the shadow becomes conscious, both within and without.

These are extraordinary times to be alive. Rejoice in this adventure of consciousness.”

“We live in such a strange world these days, one where offending someone is seen as the gravest offence.

A world where being ashamed of the gifts life has given to you is seen as a virtue.

Where cancelling others who disagree with you is not only the norm, but is cheered on by many.

Where to be seen as a “good person” by certain people, you must support “the current thing” or be outraged and furious against the same group that they hate.

Where you’re only one opinion away from being seen as a terrible person.

So, most people hold back.

They don’t share themselves.

They don’t share their souls.

But this is poison to the soul.

It’s another type of mind virus to have something you want to say and hold back for fear of what others may think.

The world has gone mad in so many ways I don’t think we can make much sense of it anymore.

We can only allow ourselves to feel the pain, the grief, and be with it… and make sure we carry forward and keep sharing our light and having the bravery to bring forth what is within us.

Because if we self-censor our souls, we may run the risk of hiding even from ourselves. And not only that, but what is within us may slowly destroy us over time.

And if we are willing to share our souls in spite of all this pushback that tells us to be quiet, to fall in line, it could, in fact, save us all from this situation.”

“We are now coming out of the Kali Yuga and going into a period of transition that the Greeks call Ekpyrosis, which means cleansing by fire, and this is a 1,200-year period of transition.

What my research showed is that most of the cleansing activities, as they pertain to human civilization, will likely be completed in a very short period of time between 2025 - 2040. I call it the window of change, that is the window of transition.

After that, even though the geological changes will continue, they’ll probably be very gradual, maybe even sporadic, because of the enlightened state of consciousness in that period.

Humans may not be greatly affected, so I’m not really worried about the entire 1,200-year period, but mostly about the next 15 years, which is the time of chaotic and intense transition.

This 1,200-year period also ties in with the ancient texts. Remember what it says in Revelation, after Christ returns, there is going to be a thousand years of peace, and that’s the thousand years that this Ekpyrosis talks about.

Similarly, in the Tibetan Kalachakra Tantra, it says the same thing, and after Rudra Cakrin returns from Shambhala and restores peace in the world, there will be a peaceful age, a mini golden age of a thousand years.

So the thousand years shows up in both the Christian text as well as in the Tibetan text, and it ties in very nicely with this speed of Ekpyrosis, since it calls it a time of peace. This is why I believe that after the initial hiccups and turmoil, we’ll probably experience a very long period of blissful living and not this cataclysmic living.”

“You have to make your shadow and the evil part of you conscious, otherwise it will rule you from the unconscious. Some of the most cruel, sadistic people are being unconsciously run by evil.

If you understand you have a part inside that’s a little bit selfish, a little bit lazy, that doesn’t want to tell the truth, your awareness of that part makes it less powerful.

If you’re aware of your wounds and the way that they make you act out in your relationships in hurtful ways, that awareness, and are able to pause before you react, it gives you more choice.

There are certain ways that you can pay homage to your shadow so it doesn’t have to show up in unconscious ways, and then it won’t show up in an outer event. And that is through your own self-awareness.

Most people don’t want to look at this because they want to think of themselves as wholly good people. They only want good things to happen to them, and they don’t want to take a holistic view of their own personality, their darkness and light.

But by examining these parts of yourself, it doesn’t strengthen them. Through self-awareness, it lessens its power over you.

It doesn’t mean that you become identified with or guided by those parts of yourself. It means that when you become aware, you’re less reactive to them.”

What we are living through is far more than a political, economic, or social crisis. It also goes far beyond any psy-op or grand conspiracy.

We are at an evolutionary threshold. It is a crisis of meaning, a collective dark night of the soul, the end of an age, and the birth pains of something new.

In this new long-form piece, I weave together Esoteric Christianity, the Yuga Cycle, Ekpyrosis, and Sri Aurobindo’s revelation of the descent of the supramental consciousness to explore what this time of transition really is about and what it is asking of us.

“Shadow work is one of the foundational practices to truly differentiate truth from lies, within and without. As Gurdjieff and many others have said, you cannot discern or differentiate truth from lies outside in the world if you have not differentiated that within yourself. This is what the inner work really comes down to.

Discernment is often seen only as a kind of decision-making skill, judging between true and false, good and evil, what is good, and what is bad. It's often only focused on appearance.

Differentiation, in the context I like to use it, is more an inner sensing process, more subtle and embodied, that precedes discernment. We need to differentiate first before we can discern.

This is a key foundation, because without that inner differentiation, you can easily blend with false parts, false personalities, your projections, or external influences that you think are your own thoughts, without being able to differentiate what is yours and what is not yours, what comes from the outside, and what is arising from within.

On the topic of entities, I've seen two extremes. One side that is stuck in the psychological lens: everything is your psyche, your trauma, your shadow, your inner child, and there is nothing outside ourselves.

What people claim are entities, beings, or guides are just projections, hallucinations, or part of their own psychosis. The other extreme, which I've seen rising more in the spiritual or new age community, is overly focused on spiritual beings or entities and blaming everything on them.

Most of these people have no psychological integration or understanding that many of their shadow parts, sub-personalities, or the inner child could also appear like an external entity because it's been suppressed for so long and shunned away into the unconscious.

We can easily mistake suppressed personality parts of ourselves for entities. These two extremes form a false binary. Either it's all in your head, or it's all an entity attack, but reality is far more nuanced and far more spiritually demanding.

Especially now, and in the times ahead, we need that psycho-spiritual differentiation within ourselves. We need to fuse psychological understanding and spiritual understanding, which entails understanding the spiritual world, spiritual hierarchies, and the different beings and forces that influence all of us.”

“We all have unconscious self-defeating programming that keeps us from becoming more prosperous, more abundant and stepping fully into ourselves to co-create the world that wants to be birthed right now.

In these times, it’s about being in warrior mode with masterful boundaries and compassion, but not blind compassion, and truly aligning with what matters, with the divine force.

What is also needed is a healthy, positive attitude of optimism. In the conspiracy truther movement, there can be too much focus on all the negative timelines and how everything is a trap.

These projections into the future are one way the Matrix hijacks us with an almost nihilistic, hopeless situation because it removes us from our spiritual selves.

It’s why it’s so important to read spiritual material, to stay aligned with what matters, and not to distract ourselves or to spiritually bypass.

We need to practically engage, but we also have to watch our minds and have this healthy, positive optimism so we can seize the opportunities and silver lining in our own lives.

I can also see how this programming gets activated in me when I get discouraged and complain. I need to catch myself and check the way I use language. I can beat myself up or defeat myself.”
