“Someone with a fragile ego sees challenges as something to avoid or complains all the time. They struggle in the face of problems and try to avoid them through denial, fantasy, addiction, and distraction.

They lack psychological resilience and have difficulty regulating emotions. They are highly susceptible to the moods and opinions of others. They have poor boundaries and constantly seek external validation, or they suffer from chronic self-doubt.

A weak ego avoids inner work because they lack the stable sense of self to confront pain or their shadow without dissociating, disintegrating and collapsing.

A fragile ego also usually engages in excessive projection, constantly putting down others as a way of blaming and feeling superior. They are also easily subject to inflation; when the ego identifies with something larger than itself and mistakes transpersonal energies for its personal greatness.

For example, “I am special and superior. I am the source of this power. I have a unique truth that others don't.” The core characteristics of an inflated ego is ultimately grandiosity, feeling special, chosen, or superior.

It's about seeing oneself as spiritually advanced and having insight that makes one superior to others. It's about presenting oneself as a guru, a prophet, or the divine masculine or feminine as a queen or king, which people very easily identify nowadays with the distorted divine masculine and feminine “teachings.”

Identifying as a savior, a messiah, or, as Jung called it, identifying with the archetype, is very dangerous. It is the inability to see one's shadow or one's own personal flaws while projecting them continuously onto others.

This grandiosity appears as moral certainty and superiority, black-and-white thinking, being ideologically possessed and rigid. It's about fusing the ego with the superego, the voice of conscience, and there's a lack of psychological humility.

They feel like they are completely virtuous, moral, and good, and evil, the bad people are all “out there.” That's a sign of grandiosity, and ultimately it relates to spiritual bypassing and using spiritual language to defend and prop yourself up.”

“Hostile forces exist, and they are extremely powerful. If we give them more attention than necessary, we are actually inviting trouble.

There are three kinds of forces from the point of view of the anti-divine or undivine. The first are simply the universal forces of nature. That's normal human emotions, obstinacy, greed, envy, and resistance to the light.

They are difficult and bad, but they are what they are and must be dealt with, within ourselves and in others, especially in close relationships. They come in through human relationships, and that's why it's a minefield. Human relationships allow the interplay of these forces.

The second are the adverse forces. They exaggerate and amplify difficulty. If you have a small difficulty, they will blow it out of proportion to put you into a greater state of paranoia, insecurity, or fear.

[All of these] forces are ultimately sanctioned by the divine. At an operational level, they play a role so that we can actually make that ascension journey. The warrior in us is fully called into play to exercise our strongest muscles to deal with them.

When we are rejecting these forces, we are rejecting them knowing that they are part of the divine, but they have to be rejected and not accepted by mistake. It's very, very important to understand this.

[The third] are the hostile forces, which are the worst because they encourage and push us to be anti-divine. There is a difference between undivine and anti-divine. Undivine means I am not what the divine wants me to be because of my stupidity, ignorance, my fear, trauma, unprocessed stuff, or my bypassing.

The origin of the whole satanic movement that we find our world in right now is the [Anti-divine] hostile forces, they are not adverse. They orient the being to say, “Well, I am the divine, not you, therefore I will fight you.” That is most dangerous, and what we are in the grip of with these hostile forces.

They are capable of a level of perversion and evil that is beyond the imagination of the normal human being. A normal human being is not geared to acknowledge that this level of evil exists.”

“Thoughts are not the byproducts of the brain; which is the materialistic view. A thought is an energetic event that arises in subtle planes of consciousness and expresses itself through the receiver of the human mind. It's a vibration that tends to carry a specific quality.

In this framework, the human being is not the one who produces most thoughts, but the receiver, the modifier, and transmitter of them.

Thoughts originate in the mental astral plane, not the physical brain, and the brain functions as an instrument similar to a radio that picks up different transmissions and translates thoughts into language, action, and physical responses.

The brain doesn't create a thought any more than a mirror creates the image it reflects. So most human thinking is mechanical, shaped by habit, cultural, and familial influences. It's shaped by collective currents

When you suddenly see people start repeating the same words, the same slogans, it shows that this thought is not their own.

Only a small portion of thought is consciously formed, and some people have no ability to create any thought; they're just receivers for collective thoughts and the mass movements which they identify with.

This is popularized in the NPC meme, which people find offensive and get very triggered by, but it actually points to an esoteric truth that some people just repeat these programs that they're given.

What they're pointing at is the egregore and thought form that they're being fed through a program from this collective etheric field, and they're just repeating it. What most people experience as their thoughts are borrowed, inherited, or group thoughts that are absorbed from the mental atmosphere that they're in.”

“Limerence is a state of profound romantic infatuation, deep obsession, and longing. It's a cross between addiction and OCD.

I've realized that limerence also has to do with our wounded inner child finally feeling like the projection that we have placed onto the other person, or the idea that we have of that person, will fulfill all of our childhood needs.

Someone might think, “This person will see me in a way that my parents wouldn't. This person will love me deeper than anyone will ever love me.”

This state of limerence is like a drug, and it usually lasts for months to a year on the longer end of the scale. It's literally like being under a drug when you are in the romantic love phase of a relationship.

I would caution people to be very wary in this phase, because when you're under the influence of drugs, you can make decisions that aren’t in your best interest, and you can override a lot of red flags and gut feelings telling you this person may be the wrong one for you.

The state of limerence is something to be very cautious about in the early stages of relationships.”

On this Full Moon in Scorpio, I just released a new article exploring the Golden Shadow, hero worship, spiritual identity, archetypal inflation, Luciferic inflation, and why real discernment cannot be separated from shadow work and psychological self-honesty.

I also touch on how unintegrated shadow material, psychic inflation, and the refusal to consciously face one’s darkness can, in extreme cases, feed suicidal impulses and self-destructive tendencies.

Scorpio is connected to the necessary Plutonian descent into darkness.

Not darkness in some simplistic moral sense, but the confrontation with what has been denied, repressed, split off, or corrupted within oneself, and which is so often projected onto others.

Good energy for some shadow exploration.

Read the article here:
https://bernhardguenther.substack.com/p/the-golden-shadow-luciferic-inflation

“People can become inflated through identification with being a healer, teacher, artist, musician, actor, writer, activist, truth seeker, intuitive, coach, therapist, or spiritual guide. The issue lies in identifying with the role to the extent that the person believes this is all of who they are.

Most people, when they look for their purpose or “dharma,” mistake it for a role to identify with, as if it were a career or job. Even being a musician or artist is not a “purpose” but a role.

Purpose is not a fixed definition. It is the bringing forth of the Self as a vessel and transmuter for Divine Will, which may express itself uniquely through the individual and the roles he plays, or even several roles, for it is never just one thing.

It often runs contrary to what the ego-persona thinks it wants, needs, or desires.

That is the danger of identifying with the mask of the persona rather than seeing it as a role, a costume one wears through which essence can shine, while still knowing that it is not who one truly is beyond the persona.

People can even over-identify with the archetypes of motherhood or fatherhood, to the detriment of the child, rather than simply seeing them as roles they are called to embody consciously.

Carl Jung warned that identification with an archetype is dangerous. It leads to grandiosity and inhibits the process of individuation.

From an esoteric occult perspective, this relates to Luciferic temptation and inflation.

We all do this. Everyone projects both negative and positive images onto others, and we all receive projections from others. We can easily feed on positive projections or feel hurt and offended by negative ones. We can also easily identify with roles and archetypes, mistaking them for essence or the true Self.
Identification with the victim archetype, or the rescuer, is especially pervasive in our culture.

It ties directly into the drama triangle of Victim, Rescuer, and Perpetrator, where most people remain caught, identifying with these roles or projecting them onto others. This often happens through oversimplified black-and-white thinking that casts people as either “all good” or “all bad.”

This is known in psychology as splitting, a very infantile state of consciousness, yet one that remains pervasive in most adults.”

In our new episode of The Cosmic Matrix Podcast, we welcome back astrologer, teacher, and author Mark Jones for a deep exploration of the major outer planet shifts shaping our time.

We focus on Uranus entering Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius, Neptune in Aries, AI, social media, overstimulation, the crisis of attention span, and the deeper spiritual challenge of staying rooted in the soul amid accelerating technological change.

Mark brings his unique synthesis of evolutionary astrology, transpersonal psychology, and spiritual insight to explore Uranus as long-term memory, trauma, individuation, and soul development.

We also discuss the difference between artificial intelligence and the living intelligence of the soul, the dangers of technological progress without spiritual maturity, and the importance of Saturn, boundaries, humility, and self-responsibility as a foundation for real individuation.

In Part 2, we go deeper into Pluto in Aquarius, Pluto’s slowing orbit, Pluto and Uranus transits, and the meaning of planets squaring the lunar nodes, including how they can reveal major soul blind spots and life lessons we may unconsciously resist.

We examine Jordan Peterson’s chart as an example of Neptune square the nodes in relation to his health crisis and the deeper psychological and spiritual patterns reflected in this configuration.

We also explore Uranus square the nodes in Gemini, Virgo, and Pisces, and what this transit may mean for discernment, truth, and the collective crisis of meaning unfolding in our time.

“In this Uranian age, we've witnessed a flight from Saturn, a complex series of events around the Saturn archetype that reached a culmination with COVID, Pluto, and Saturn in Capricorn. The world seems to have shaken off the COVID era like a bad dream, or like some lover that it felt disappointed with the next day.

The world seems to pretend like it never had these COVID protocols, that it never pushed things to the max. Which seems to me increasingly a very Pluto in Capricorn phenomenon - protecting the old and the preexisting wealth and damaging the new generation.

Because whilst you have this tech revolution amongst certain parts of the Bay Area and Silicon Valley and for certain progressive people, a lot of young people, if you look at the mental health statistics, feel completely disenfranchised. Like there's no world for them.

We destroyed our socioeconomic and cultural interrelatedness through hugely extended lockdowns that didn't do an awful lot for death rates. So it's in this context that these great tools come in, this sense of Uranian possibility for a few, a kind of elite, and an increasing disenfranchisement for regular folks and young people who feel distanced.

The flight from Saturn has reached all sorts of corners. The kind of social utopian dream that seems to animate so many, on the one side, versus sober realities. There's a powerful split taking place.

Then we witness politically and in all sorts of ways, how the culture wars have been fueled by this split. You see this hanging onto Saturn aggressively, this fear around Saturn, and the last stages of Pluto in Capricorn, with the wealthy holding onto their assets and the health issues of the elderly who've already lived their life.

[And some people decided], we can just destroy opportunities for young people in the name of this. And I'm not saying it wasn't important to try and save people's lives, but there were a lot of decisions slanted in a certain way, and now we're dealing with the consequences.”

“The process of inner work is painful because the first thing that's going to happen is your ego's idea of who you are, how great you are, how perfect you are, shatters the moment that you start to observe yourself and the mechanical patterns that come from social, cultural, ancestral, and even karmic conditioning.

This creates a crisis of consciousness because, as we develop the creative self, we need to take a step back and say, “I need to observe myself. I need to develop true humility. I need to work on myself.

There's this quest to perfect the soul that needs to be developed as well, which can be a double-edged sword, because if taken too far, it can lead to beating yourself up and making you feel not good enough.

The more we work on developing true humility through our ability to observe ourselves, to work on parts that aren't in line with our true nature, the more that we end up developing higher states of consciousness and awareness.”

-Laura Matsue

“Gurdjieff talked about this, the necessity of self-observation before we can even start the inner work. He talked about the machine, our whole being, these different parts, and being able to observe how they interact.

Self-observation ties into self-remembering, which is the deeper aspect of really being aware of the inner and outer at the same time.

On a practical level, what does it even mean to observe yourself? It means developing the inner witness, because most of the time we engage in life mechanically. We are on autopilot, driven by unconscious impulses. We are identified with what we do. We are checked out and dissociated. We have lost the inner witness.

Whenever your emotions arise, observe them without identifying with them. In esoteric teachings, they talk about not identifying with what you do, or with your emotions, which doesn’t mean to dissociate; you are able to feel it, but you are not that.”

“The birth chart is the ultimate symbol that we're not a blank slate. It is a certain shape, it is a certain pattern, and you came in with that shape and pattern.

In karmic or evolutionary forms of astrology, that becomes about reincarnation. If you want to sidestep the complexity of the religious or philosophical implications of reincarnation, or whether people have to be believers in a certain tradition, what comes to mind is a simpler concept, soul memory.

You're carrying certain memories, you have this shape or pattern that you're attracted to for real reasons. Did it come through an archetypal domain in some sense that you traveled through? Does it come through the uterine process, the work of Stanislav Grof, and the archetypal dynamics of the birth process? Does it come from past lives?

You come from the mystery, but you don't come unformed, this blank piece of paper. You come with certain patterns, memories, and sensitivities. And you come into a world created by the history of other people's actions, as well as other people's memories and psychic sensitivities. This is the complexity of reality.

I was thinking about this with trauma, because let's say there's a family of three children and the parents, and they are forced to move. Two of the children deal with it and one who has a certain chart shape with memories of family loss, becomes inconsolable and has a serious problem for multiple years. This is the revelation of the inbuilt difference.

Now we could look at that psychologically and say, “Oh, they were all at different ages,” but maybe this is the middle child or the older child, not the youngest.

Or you could say it's the developmental stage they're at but when we look at the chart and we see everything in the fourth house, we see Uranus aspecting that in a challenging way, we can see that memories are there in this soul memory of this lack of safety and abandonment, and we can start to understand why one person has this experience.

You have all these challenging memories that people hold, brought up by life events. One loses someone they love, and it brings up subtle resonance in the soul of all the losses.

It brings up subtle resonance in the soul of all the times with the person you lost, that there was a loss even whilst they were alive in terms of the disconnect. So we have all these resonant dimensions.”

My latest article explores why “official UFO disclosure” may be less about revealing the truth and more about formalizing a managed narrative that prepares humanity for a new alien religion rooted in external savior beings, “alien technology,” and false spiritual authority.

I also go into the hyperdimensional and occult nature of the phenomenon, the New Age astral circus of channeling and contactee movements, its connection to transhumanism and AI, and why spiritual discernment is now imperative.

Read the full artilce here: https://bernhardguenther.substack.com/p/official-disclosure-and-the-rise

“We need psychological work along with spiritual practice to create truly embodied change. When we do psychological work without spiritual work, we often end up digging in the mud, and we almost always end up in childhood.

Spiritual work expands that point of view and lets us know that there's a future self, a higher self, that's also pulling us forward. It opens us up to the spiritual sciences and the spiritual realms, where there are benevolent forces as well as hostile forces.

We need to know how to navigate these realms through changing our level of being, through clearing out the traumas and wounds that keep us identified in unconsciousness so that we can align with these higher forces.

One of the main things we can do is hold the tension of opposites. Jung's idea with this is that the psyche always has pairs of opposites – we have light and dark, feminine and masculine, positive and negative, and these inner forces must balance in order to create a third thing.

The third thing is a transcendent function of the self, which is the growth of consciousness. You see this tension of opposites going on constantly in the polarization of the world, with the pendulum swinging between the opposites.

Rather than identifying with either side of a polarity, if you can hold this tension, which involves shadow work and withdrawing your projections, then you start to grow consciousness, and a third way, a third path appears that wasn’t there before.”

“With Uranus in Gemini, it relates to ​trauma ​when ​someone ​disagrees ​with ​your ​perspective, ​which ​we ​already ​see, ​where ​differing ​viewpoints ​are ​now ​seen as harmful ​or ​dangerous, ​and ​everyone's ​retreating ​into ​echo ​chambers.

Then ​there's ​the ​corresponding ​theme ​where ​people ​with ​Uranus ​in ​Gemini ​have ​been ​persecuted ​for ​their ​speech ​in ​past ​lives. So there's ​this ​pervasive ​feeling that ​speaking your ​perspective ​is ​dangerous. If ​you ​say ​the ​wrong ​thing, ​it ​could ​destroy ​your ​life.”

I think this is the product of anxiety, tremendous ​anxiety that ​gets ​projected, and ​we ​can ​trace ​it to a ​number ​of ​things, even to ​superheroes ​taking ​over ​movies. People ​don't ​want ​a ​real ​person. ​They ​want ​this ​magical ​person ​who ​can ​reorient ​reality ​and ​save ​them ​from ​wars ​and ​stuff.

This ​personalized ​form ​of ​anxiety ​has to ​do ​with ​the ​battle ​of ​ideas, which is extraordinarily ​detrimental. ​I ​would ​argue ​the ​evolutionary ​goal ​of ​Uranus ​in ​Gemini ​would ​actually ​be ​to ​step ​back ​from ​that ​and ​see ​the ​polarization.

For ​some, ​Uranus ​in ​Gemini ​​could ​trine ​Pluto ​in ​Aquarius ​and ​provide ​the ​necessary ​detachment ​to ​see ​the ​culture ​wars, ​to ​see ​dialogues, and these ​argumentative ​spaces ​or ​the ​spaces ​where ​the ​argument ​is ​shut ​down ​because ​it's ​unbearable ​to ​people ​as ​the ​immature ​thing ​that ​it ​is.

If ​you ​think ​about ​Gemini ​on ​another ​level, it’s ​the ​Silk ​Road, ​bartering ​hands, the ​trade ​routes ​that ​galvanized ​the ​world and brought ​trade ​into ​Venice ​and ​other ​Italian ​ports ​that ​cultivated ​the ​Renaissance.

It admittedly also ​cultivated ​the ​bubonic ​plague, but ​that's ​the ​problem ​with ​open ​networks, ​isn't ​it? It's ​not ​easily ​determined. ​For me, it has ​to ​do ​with ​the ​level ​of ​consciousness ​of ​the ​individual.

If ​you're ​shutting ​people's ​thoughts ​down, you're ​acting ​like ​a ​child, ​aren't ​you? ​Like ​an ​infant having a ​tantrum, ​not ​wanting ​to ​listen ​to a ​potentially ​corrective ​point ​of ​view.

Or ​their view might ​be ​straight ​up ​wrong, but ​a ​mature ​person ​can ​still ​listen ​to ​it ​and ​go, ​“​No, ​I don't ​think ​so.” ​This ​is ​the ​bedrock ​of ​human ​civilizational ​discourse, and ​we ​seem ​to ​be ​unraveling it.

Taking ​it ​back ​to ​the ​Saturn ​flight, there ​is ​a ​maturation ​crisis ​in ​the ​culture ​because ​it ​is ​effectively ​only ​children ​that ​you ​don't ​tell ​certain ​things ​to. ​You ​protect ​children ​from ​certain ​narratives ​for ​their ​own ​developmental ​stage. ​You ​cannot ​do ​this ​in ​adult ​life ​and ​expect ​civilization ​to ​be ​creative ​or ​dynamic ​in ​an ​effective ​way.”

“Understanding how occult forces work is important because you ​cannot ​protect ​yourself ​from ​something ​you're ​not ​aware ​of.

You ​don't ​need ​to ​become ​a ​scholar, but ​having ​a ​basic ​understanding, ​like ​when ​you ​drive ​a ​car ​or ​cross ​the ​street, ​you ​know the ​traffic ​rules​, so ​you ​don't ​get ​hit.

People, ​especially ​in ​the New ​Age, ​don't ​want ​to ​get ​into these ​topics ​because ​they ​believe that if ​they ​focus ​on ​these ​negative ​forces, they will ​attract ​them, but ignorance ​is ​not ​a ​defense.

All ​the ​occult ​and ​esoteric ​teachings ​talk ​about ​how ​you ​cannot ​defend ​yourself ​from ​something ​you're ​not ​aware ​of. Pure ​ignorance ​or just ​being ​a ​”good ​person” is also not a defense. ​In ​fact, ​that's ​also ​a ​distortion ​of the ​law ​of ​attraction.

There is an idea that if ​you focus ​on ​negative ​things like entities, ​you ​then ​attract ​negative ​entities, but ​the ​opposite ​can ​be ​true ​as ​well.

Opposites ​attract​, and ​these ​entities ​are ​actually ​most ​often ​drawn ​to ​people ​who ​have ​a ​strong ​light ​and ​innocence ​and ​are ​actually ​here ​with ​a ​higher ​mission ​profile. ​Everything ​needs ​to ​be ​taken ​into consideration.

It’s about gaining more information and understanding their modus operandi, without dwelling on it. You let it go and stay out of paranoia because then you attract it even more; that’s the paradox.”

“When a man or a woman is anima or animus possessed, it will almost automatically trigger the anima/animus possession in the other person, and you will see a shadow dance between them.

If she leads with cold logic and control, which can show up as being very opinionated, rigid, being very fixed in her convictions with no room for flexibility, the man will either lead with emotion and become overwhelmed, or he'll disconnect and dissociate emotionally.

For example, if the woman becomes highly critical towards the man (animus possession), he might become moody in response (anima possessed), or he'll cut off completely, and escape into intellectualization and rationalization.

She critiques; he will collapse. He seeks intimacy; she will intellectualize. She expects him to lead; he expects her to feel him deeply and guide him emotionally. This creates a loop of mutual disappointment where neither feels seen or met, and each is expecting the other to live out their soul life for them.

Other common patterns you see are the idealizer and the rebel. One person worships the other's potential. The other rebels against the pressure to fulfill the fantasy.

Or the parent-child dynamic where one becomes overly responsible and guiding, which is often an animus-driven woman, and the other regresses into emotional dependency, which is anima-driven.

If you're a woman thinking, “I gotta get this guy to get his shit together or do his inner work,” he will likely regress into emotional dependency or become emotionally overwhelmed. That is the parent-child dynamic or mutual projection.

Both partners are relating to each other as symbols, not people, unable to differentiate the real person from the projection. This is so common that it's culturally supported.

We live in a society that is, I would argue, 80% externalizing, and you'll even see it in your parents, too. It’s a very common dynamic to have an animus possessed woman and an anima possessed man, and then we repeat those parental dynamics in our own relationships.”

Spiritual Warfare Is Real.

Some take offense at the term because they believe it is too “negative” or outdated.

For others, it brings up unconscious fear, so they would rather put on blinders.

Others say that only “love” exists, that we are all one, and that there is no evil.

All three views often reveal some combination of denial, spiritual bypassing, and unconscious fear.

Evil is real as well, but it often hides behind the “deceptive veil of light,” as Rumi called it.

We cannot bypass the confrontation with evil through a non-dualistic philosophical framework, as many spiritual seekers attempt to do.

Not even Jesus or the Buddha bypassed it or avoided it.

It is part of the evolutionary process at this stage of humanity's progress, and darkness must be made conscious, within and without.

As Sri Aurobindo noted, to engage sincerely on the path of “Know Thyself” and bring forth the true Self is to enter an inner battle.

It takes the form of a spiritual war because there are forces that do not want you to awaken. They especially target those who are on the verge of a deeper awakening.

At the same time, inner differentiation is imperative, as Laura Matsue Guenther recently wrote:

“Most people misunderstand spiritual warfare because they don’t even understand their own inner world.

Evil is real. But it’s impossible to differentiate between what is actually your own shadow vs. what is archetypal evil unless you know your own psyche.

And so many attribute aspects of their inner world to demons. And don’t work on healing their own wounding, which ironically, makes them even more vulnerable to evil.

You have to know yourself deeply to be able to differentiate between evil within you and evil that is coming from outside of you.

Without that discernment, your spiritual battles could easily be aspects of you that are at war with each other.”

In other words, without knowing yourself, your psyche, your shadow, and the various inner parts you mistake for your true Self or for outside forces, you become more easily manipulated.

You become more prone to being used as a pawn by forces that pull your strings from behind the veil. You also become less able to perceive reality accurately.

This inner differentiation becomes even more important as we approach what the esoteric traditions call “the unveiling of the heaven of the gods,” the thinning of the veil between the physical world and the higher realms.

This is part of the destiny and trajectory of the evolution of consciousness through humanity during this Time of Transition.

There are many beings and forces, titans, asuras, Ahrimanic and Luciferic forces, that attempt to derail, feed on, and entrap humanity for their own purposes.

They are cunning deceivers, shape-shifters, and manipulators who often appear as “angels of light.”

Yet there are also true Divine forces, angelic beings, and spirit guides that assist, guide, and offer protection. But they adhere to Divine Will, which is not what the ego thinks it wants, and they respect Free Will.

They will not save you from the lessons your soul needs to learn. They are well aware of the teaching function of evil and do not attempt to “eradicate” it on the impatient ego’s terms.

To differentiate what is what, in the spiritual realm and within ourselves, is one of the most important skills on the path of awakening.

What needs to be integrated?

What needs to be rejected?

What is your own shadow?

What is trauma?

What is an inner sub-personality part?

What is a collective influence?

What is occult interference?

What is true Divine guidance?

Most people overestimate their level of discernment because discernment is directly tied to how well they know their inner world, and how conscious they are of what has access to their being and psyche.

So, if you are not ready to embrace this adventure as a spiritual warrior, perhaps your time has not come yet. And that is fine.

But be careful not to project your unconscious fear onto the very idea of spiritual warfare simply because it makes you uncomfortable.

As Don Juan Matus said,

"Fear is natural.

A warrior is not fearless.

A warrior acts with courage despite fear."

Many are called, but few choose to answer the call.

Godspeed.

“The alien disclosure narrative has now gone fully mainstream. Entire careers and identities have formed around it. New Age disclosure and first contact conferences are everywhere. The deception is sophisticated and it is designed to fool sincere people, not just naive ones.

Most people caught up in the disclosure movement are sincere seekers operating in genuinely difficult terrain where truth and lies are deliberately interwoven.

Others are deliberate plants meant to sell the alien religion and tempt people with “alien technology” as the savior of humanity.

And then you have the endless wave of self-proclaimed “contactees,” “ambassadors,” and “receivers” of special downloads, often inflated by deceptive astral forces that feed the wounded ego’s hunger for significance and self-importance.

As veteran UFO researcher John Keel warned decades ago, the UFO phenomenon is not extraterrestrial but “merely minor variations of the age-old demonological phenomenon,” with our skies filled with “Trojan horses that promise salvation while concealing hostile intent.

I want to be clear: I am not implying that there are no benevolent spiritual forces. There are Divine forces, angelic beings, and powerful spiritual forces that assist and help humanity, even on an individual level, as I have experienced myself.

However, true Divine forces act according to Divine Law and respect the Law of Free Will. They do not “save” us in the way the religious savior program imagines. They do not override our soul lessons, nor do they simply “eradicate evil” on our behalf.

Fully aligned with Divine Will, they act beyond human morality and logic, adhering only to the Higher Will in the context of the evolution of consciousness.

They understand that we need to learn our own lessons. At the same time, they can assist, support, guide, and even offer protection. But ultimately, we need to develop embodied soul strength and bring forth the true Self.

This work entails being able to consciously differentiate what we align with, both within ourselves and in the world. It requires sincere psycho-spiritual work so we can access true free will and no longer be puppets of forces we mistake for parts of our own being or “benevolent” forces.”

“Hyperdimensional forces can mimic divine beings and present all kinds of false spiritual experiences to mislead seekers. They can shapeshift and appear as ascended masters, like Jesus, angels, positive aliens, Pleiadeans, or enlightened sages.

In the realm of the New Age, it happens with a lot of channeled material, aliens, all kinds of ET races, and imposter spirits. They are tricksters and shape shifters who show off by offering people “special codes” or “light language,” making people believe that they’re special or chosen to receive these messages, and others can only get them through you.

That’s a very common trap because it appeals to the insecurity of a person or to narcissism, so to speak, and the ego.

They also adjust their form or “language” to the belief system of the person they are targeting to gain consent to be invited in, which ties into an occult concept called a trap of agreement.

So they get permission based on the law of free will to “take them over,” even if it’s unconscious permission. And it’s very important to understand that the hostile forces don’t appear like demonic monsters and the type of things you see in Hollywood movies, not at all.

Most often, they appear as extremely attractive, wise, and powerful, promising power, knowledge, and even psychic abilities, but it’s in exchange for some sort of loyalty or submission.”

“When people don't believe in the divine, in God, they worship the world. What do we have replacing God right now? We have government, mainstream media, celebrities, all the institutions, and science have taken the place of God.

Look at what happens to us across all levels when we remove the absence of the greater meaning that our relationship with the divine provides us. And I'm not talking about some major organized religion that we need to establish or that we need to all find Jesus.

I'm talking about this direct experience of the sacred, which gives us meaning and spiritual values, which in turn gives us a moral framework for how we live our lives. We don't have that.

In this materialistic postmodern society, truth is what you believe in; truth is your lived experience, and your personal experience of the world is the ultimate reality. Every aspect of morality can be dismantled with postmodernism.”

Why UFO Disclosure Affects Everyone, Even If You Think It’s a Distraction

The official UFO disclosure machine has moved into its next phase.

The Department of War launched the release of UAP files.

Mainstream media is now openly discussing alleged alien species such as Greys, Nordics, Insectoids, and Reptilians.

Trump posted an AI-generated image with a tall Grey alien, and the whole subject is being normalized very quickly.

But our latest episode is not just for people who are “into UFOs.”

Even if you have no interest in UAPs or aliens, or see the whole subject as another distraction, the narratives forming around UFOs, non-human intelligence, hidden technology, and disclosure have long been shaping the collective imagination, and they will increasingly affect everyone.

They influence how people think about human origins, spiritual authority, technology, evolution, salvation, AI, transhumanism, and the future of humanity, especially when understood in light of how non-human entities and forces have influenced humanity from unseen realms for thousands of years.

The deeper question is not simply: “Are UFOs real?” or “Is the government finally telling the truth?”

The deeper question is:

What worldview is being installed through the disclosure narrative?

What are people being prepared to believe, fear, trust, worship, or consent to?

In this episode, Laura and I look beyond the usual “nuts and bolts” extraterrestrial hypothesis and explore the UFO phenomenon through a spiritual, esoteric, occult, and psycho-spiritual lens.

We discuss John A. Keel’s UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse, the possible rise of an alien religion, the New Age astral circus, false light deception, channeled ET beings, Galactic Federations, starseed identities, DNA activations, and the lure of special cosmic knowledge without real inner work.

We also go deeper into Pluto in Aquarius, the Yuga Shift, the thinning of the veil, the unveiling of the “heaven of the gods,” impostor beings, false spiritual hierarchies, how true positive Divine forces actually assist, and why knowing your own psyche is essential for real discernment.

This is where UFO disclosure becomes a doorway into the deeper work of spiritual warfare and embodied sovereignty.
