Time of Transition (Bernhard Guenther & Laura Matsue)

“In ​order ​to ​really ​land ​at ​a ​higher ​state ​of ​consciousness, ​you ​need ​to ​walk ​through all ​the ​oppositions ​and ​attacks, ​all ​the things ​that ​will ​be ​flying ​your ​way; ​you ​need ​to ​look ​at ​them and ​transcend them.

You ​will always ​have to face polarity and the dichotomy of opposites and integrate them to land ​at ​a ​higher ​state ​of ​consciousness.

[On David Hawkins’ Map of Consciousness], the human ego exists from zero to around 950. All of a sudden, there’s a personal aspect of the ego, and there’s an impersonal aspect of the ego, and the impersonal aspect continues up the map until a very high point, which a lot of people aren’t aware of.

David didn’t just say that once you are enlightened, it’s over and you are done; he said enlightenment is something that can be diversified. It exists from a state of 600–1,000, and even when you are in that range, you will still have attacks.

Even Jesus, who went into the desert, was tempted by Lucifer, and he was already at a very high state of consciousness.”

“Child ​abuse ​has ​been ​an ​epidemic ​for ​multiple ​generations. ​I ​can ​see ​how ​a ​lot ​of ​us ​have ​been ​subject ​to ​child ​rearing ​practices ​that ​were ​abusive, ​that ​aren’t ​acceptable ​now, and we ​do ​have ​this ​epidemic ​of ​trauma.

I ​can ​also ​see ​how ​hard it is ​for ​people ​to ​look ​at ​that ​because ​it’s ​painful ​and ​it ​can ​unravel ​a ​lot. ​I ​know ​for ​myself, ​I ​encountered ​what ​I ​would ​call ​a ​type ​of ​evil ​in ​my ​family ​of ​origin ​at ​a ​very ​young ​age.

I’ve found that facing ​that evil, ​the ​wounds, ​and ​the ​trauma ​it ​caused ​within ​me ​was ​my ​turning ​point ​to ​awaken ​to ​something ​deeper. It’s like it ​almost pushed ​me ​to ​the ​brink ​of ​really ​seeing ​the ​state ​of ​humanity, ​and ​it ​pushed ​me ​to turn towards ​God ​as ​well.

Through ​facing ​this ​archetypal ​evil, ​we ​can ​actually ​rediscover ​our ​true ​nature. There ​is ​almost a ​holistic ​place ​for ​evil ​in ​the ​evolution ​of ​consciousness. ​It’s ​like ​what Carl Jung said, “No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.

The ​deeper ​we ​can ​understand personal ​evil, ​the ​evil ​we’ve ​been ​subjected ​to, ​and ​then ​archetypal ​evil, ​the ​more ​we ​have ​a ​chance ​to awaken.”

“Disillusionment is a necessary and inevitable stage in the process of awakening. But the real disillusionment that leads to a true Awakening [not an external information-based intellectual “awakening”] and way out of the matrix occurs when we realize the “terror of the situation,” as Gurdjieff called it.

The embodied recognition of the terror of the situation results from facing yourself, the inner journey to “know thyself”, study yourself, and engage in sincere inner work to make the darkness conscious within yourself.

It requires ongoing in-depth psychological, somatic, trauma, shadow, and spiritual/esoteric work. It is far from easy but uncomfortable, confronting, and messy.

The ego and wounded self want to avoid it, coming up with all kinds of unconscious resistance resulting in excuses and justifications along with unconscious trauma responses, projections, and interferences to distract you from the work and the necessary descent into the depth of your Being.

It is far more tempting to project our pain, anger, and fear externally instead of looking within. Hence, the real work requires the attitude of a warrior: will, determination, self-responsibility, sincerity, courage, and 100% commitment.

Any weakness and blind spot will become a significant hindrance on the path and be used by adverse forces to target and tempt the seeker away from the truth of his Being, keeping him chained in Plato’s cave, distracted by the shadows on the world stage.”

“My theory is that the central black hole [Sagittarius A*] switches on and off and causes this fluctuation in the course of a yuga cycle [which also aligns with the rise and decline in human consciousness]. I expect that sometime in the next 1200 years the central black hole is going to switch on, and that will drive the entire process of change.

The James Webb Space Telescope has already detected that the central black hole has become active in 2024 and is giving out bright flashes of light regularly, something that has never happened in the past few hundred years.

That means that the central black hole is already starting to send radiation to us, which could be an important factor in the climate emergencies and the warming events happening right now. If the central black hole is giving out more radiation, then the core of our Earth is also going to heat up a little more.

This can heat the oceans and cause the warming events and fluctuations in the weather, which is also driving the conscious evolution happening right now.

A lot of people are getting tired of the drama and the negativity of the outer world. They are seeing through the deception and waking up and asking questions, which I think is being triggered to a large extent by the central source switching on.”

“Soul embodiment is key to counteracting the technocratic takeover, transhumanism, the elimination of the soul, and the alien invasion through our bodies.

I can see how, even through the COVID jab [and all the trauma and fear since then], they have tried to disconnect us from our creative spirit, the daimon, and our soul essence. They want to use us to create their reality through us.

The way out is to reject that via a conscious connection to the divine, to our daimon, and to our spirit. We also do it by removing anything that's in the way; hence, it goes back to the psychospiritual work, shadow work, trauma work, and ancestral work, to reclaim our creative spirit, the daimon.

We need to nurture that connection, to access it, and also to understand it. It's not under your ego's will or the whims of grandiosity and self-importance; that's not how it works.

And that's how these forces get us as well, when we identify with our creative impulse and want to get attention for it. Then the devil comes in and gives it to us, appealing to our lower nature.”

My latest video is an audio-visual narrated essay exploring the deeper psycho-spiritual, psychological, and occult forces that shape our relationship with money, scarcity, and abundance, including the Matrix Scarcity Program, shadow projection, false spiritual beliefs about money, and the deeper work of reclaiming the money force in alignment with Divine Will and our deeper purpose.

“In a spiritual war, your level of consciousness is your ultimate weapon and protection. The higher you rise, the less you can be controlled by fear and shame.

The war is spiritual, but it works through psychological operations. These operations target those anchored in lower states of consciousness, where guilt, shame, and lack of self-knowledge thrive.

The only way to rise above this is to raise your consciousness. When you do, you cut off the food source for the spiritual beings hostile to humanity.

And when you cut off their food source, you stop battling the shadows on the wall (like in Plato’s Allegory of the Cave).

Instead, you reclaim your life force and energy. You can then use that energy to create from a space of love. And through you, God’s vision for a new earth can begin to take form.”

“The whole Lindsay Clancy trial is seen through the lens of a materialistic worldview, since we live in the “dark age of materialism,” very much removed from our spiritual nature, where most people are embedded in this view.

In that context, any moral or psychological issues are reduced to biological issues, brain chemistry imbalances, psychological delusions, or hallucinations.

Obviously, those explanations and diagnoses have their place, we don’t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but there’s another layer and framework we can use to understand what Lindsay Clancy went through.

Especially considering some of the ways she described her experience and the testimonials of various clinicians about this void. What I’m talking about is the spiritual and occult level of reality and the potential for spirit or demonic possession that could have influenced this tragic act.

Not every autonomous psychological issue, voice, or vision is necessarily generated by a person’s psyche or is just a hallucination. It’s also important to recognize that most spiritual and esoteric traditions, as well as indigenous and shamanic cultures worldwide, recognize the possibility of a discarnate entity influencing or possessing a human being.

In more extreme cases, entities can completely take over the person’s body and bodily functions. It’s only in our modern Western culture, which has become increasingly removed from spirit, that tends to deny the spiritual world because it cannot be measured through a modern scientific instrument.”

“Can you hold the tension between opposites without identifying with either side, without any preferences of outcome, without likes or dislikes, without desire? Are you able to go beyond Hope or Fear, Attraction or Repulsion?

Can you withdraw all projections (positive and negative) and stay with that friction internally in your body without externalizing - without blame or savior projections?

That's where the rubber hits the road when it comes to the Great Work to transmute Lead into Gold, connecting you to Truth, the Divine within and without, which will eventually transmute the world.

It's also the only way to prevent a global catastrophe, another dark night, and the fall of civilization as it happened in many cycles before.

This usually manifests as cataclysms (from floods, comet bombardments, earthquakes, climate change, to solar flares) and wars, as the masses are distracted and look outside themselves as if the external world is separate from them.

It's not an easy process, as I have experienced myself (and keep experiencing), for a lot of stuff does and will come up that you can't blame on anything or anyone externally anymore.

Holding the tension of opposites is not to be confused with neutrality, apathy, pacifism, or the “middle ground.” It's not that truth lies in the middle of two opposites. It is not dissociation. It's not an intellectual or philosophical exercise.

The INNER process of holding the tension of opposites will inevitably result in “necessary” suffering. It is what is called “conscious suffering” in esoteric science to ignite the alchemical fire within to give birth to the real “I” that stands above and beyond all opposites as an expression of the Divine.”

“In Jungian psychology, the mother archetype is universal, and the mother complex is personal. It develops around our actual experience of being mothered and everything we psychologically associated with the concept of the mother. Every person has some relationship to motherhood because they were once a child. Our mother complex contains our experiences of safety, protection, abandonment, love, dependence, guilt, and our resentment. All sorts of feelings are constellated around what we experience as our mother. For women who become mothers themselves, another layer is added because their own maternal identity is activated.

When we encounter a story like Lindsay Clancy, people are not necessarily responding only to her, the individual woman, they’re responding to the unconscious material around their own mother, their experience of being a child, their experience of motherhood, and their own internal image of what a mother is supposed to be.

Someone whose psychological survival depended upon believing a mother would never do these things will experience enormous rage towards any attempt to humanize Lindsay. This case triggers people’s mother complex and tells us why so many different people are looking at the same exact woman and seeing entirely different people.

One person sees a loving mother who became extremely mentally ill. Another sees an evil mother who killed her children for selfish reasons, and this is what makes the public response a giant projection screen for the collective mother archetype and everyone’s individual mother complex.”

“All authentic spiritual and esoteric traditions, East and West, agree on one thing: sincerity is the foundation of the path. It is the prerequisite for giving yourself to the Divine without conditions. But sincerity is not what most people think it is. Many believe they are sincere while lying to themselves.

Real sincerity is radical honesty. It is the willingness to see yourself without spiritual makeup, without pretense, without polishing the image. It is the capacity to admit: I am not as conscious as I think I am.
Sincerity is the sword that cuts through self-deception, spiritual bypassing, and inflated narratives. It strips away the ego’s disguises, the stories we tell ourselves to avoid seeing the raw truth of who we are, what drives us, and where we still hide.

It demands that we face life without self-deception, without victim-blame consciousness, self-importance, pride, or self-pity. It’s easy to appear sincere on the surface, to say the right words, put on a smiley face, adopt the right persona, or project a polished image, and yet be fundamentally insincere in the deeper work.

To be sincere means to confront your own lies, especially the ones you tell yourself. It enables you to engage the parts of yourself you might otherwise prefer to avoid. No knowledge, information, psycho-spiritual modality, technique, mantra, or spiritual system can compensate for a lack of sincerity.

Hostile forces can easily manipulate those who are insincere and dishonest with themselves. Insincerity opens the doorway to adverse forces and the Luciferic temptation.

Sincerity is the ultimate spiritual protection. It is more powerful than any visualization, prayer, device, crystal, or affirmation. Because none of those work without sincerity.

Sincerity creates a frequency that aligns you with the Divine, making it harder for deceptive forces to reach you. It is the attitude of engaging in the inner work without excuses and committing fully.

Yet the ego can easily hijack the concept of sincerity. When someone says, “But I am sincere!” it’s often a sign they’re lying to themselves. Being convinced of one’s own total sincerity is usually a form of unconscious insincerity, a red flag of ego inflation.”

“The ​paradox [with Lindsay Clancy] ​is ​the ​good ​mother ​versus ​the ​devouring ​mother. This great mother archetype has never been purely benevolent. ​The ​mother contains opposites; she gives life, she ​takes life, ​she ​nourishes, ​she ​devours, ​she ​creates, ​and ​destroys.

In that sense, she also mirrors Mother Nature itself: the earth gives birth, feeds and sustains life, and is also the same earth in which all living things will eventually die through death, decay, and even destruction.

The same mother that creates a beautiful forest can also, in essence, instill a forest fire. Culturally, we tend to split these two sides apart. We want the nurturing mother over here and the terrible mother over there.

Psychologically, that’s understandable, because children need to experience their caregivers as fundamentally safe and good. But Lindsay’s case destroys that separation because testimony describes her as a woman deeply invested in her children and in her identity as a loving mother. Yet she’s also the same mother who ultimately killed them.

Her perfectionism in this case makes it even more interesting, because the perfect mother creates a very powerful shadow. Lindsay strongly wanted to be this ideal mother: always there for her kids, always patient, nurturing, and never experiencing resentment, rage, or the desire to escape.

But real mothers experience all kinds of feelings. A mother can love her children while feeling exhausted by them. She can feel love for them and anger at her lack of space and her lack of need. She can want to protect her children and also desperately want someone to take them away from her for a while.

These opposites do not ordinarily produce violence in women. They are part of our ordinary psychological ambivalence, but if the conscious identity becomes, “I am a good mother, therefore I can’t have any of those other feelings,” the unacceptable material gets suppressed into the shadow.

Then the shadow contains whatever the personality cannot recognize as itself. For a person identified as loving, competent, selfless, and maternal, the shadow becomes rage, aggression, hatred, or fantasies of escape. Because this activates the mother archetype, it triggers the mother complex.”

“If you hold a negative view of men or women in general, you will find and attract precisely those kinds of men and women. This is why people who have very low opinions of men/women end up in cycles of toxic relationships that they don't desire.

If you hold deep appreciation and love and reverence for the sex you're attracted to, you genuinely appreciate men or women, you feel safe with them, love them, & value them - you will attract more high-quality partners.

Also, having the self-worth to say no to people who don't match your desires is critical, too. Why is this true? Because if you hold a negative view of men or women, you will LOOK for that, even in men and women who don't have those traits.

If that's you, it's likely some relationship trauma from your past is being projected onto the present. When you find men or women who match your negative ideas of men or women, it will confirm your negative orientation and bias.

Yes, good men and women are out there, but typically, they'll be turned off if you approach them as if they're evil/selfish/the enemy. Which is a massive turn-off for anyone with self-esteem and secure attachment. Your negative lens of men or women will even repel the good ones.

Change your beliefs about men and women through healing your relationship traumas and your relationship to yourself if you want to attract the relationship of your dreams.”

“The core signs of the Fourth Turning are collapsing trust in institutions, extreme polarization, economic instability, the breakdown of our shared reality and narratives, ​and immense psychological strain. It’s the ​death of an old cultural story that’s happening right now.

People ​are going through monumental shifts in their personal lives. ​Collectively, ​we are witnessing the peak of public distrust in institutions across both the left and the right. ​This reflects both the Fourth Turning and the rebellious, anti-authoritarian energy of Pluto in Aquarius being involved in this triangle.

It’s no longer about left versus right; both institutional frameworks are outdated and will need to be dismantled and rebuilt as new values eventually replace them. All ​of ​these ​will ​be ​themes ​and ​the ​process ​we ​will ​continue ​to ​go ​through ​in ​the ​next ​five ​to ​eight ​years.

“The “truth ​movement” and anarchism oftentimes neurotically reject all authority, ​even to the point of rejecting God. ​I’m not taking myself out of the equation; I can relate to the father wound of an emotionally absent father and ​not really being mentored. Through ​this ​unconscious ​resentment, I ​rejected ​all ​authority.

There is truth in needing to question authority. ​I can see this in myself and, by extension, in ​many people in the truth movement, where they reject ​all authority. Everything ​is ​bad, the government ​is ​always ​bad, we ​need anarchism, ​no rulers, ​and no ​hierarchies.

It ​takes ​extreme ​forms and goes ​against ​natural ​law ​because ​there ​are ​necessary ​hierarchies, and ​there’s also healthy authority. People ​have lost the idea of what healthy leadership means.

​This doesn’t ​mean ​that ​we ​need ​to ​worship ​authority; we do ​need ​to ​question ​it, ​but ​there ​needs ​to ​be ​a ​healthy ​relationship ​with ​it ​because ​sometimes we ​need ​to ​be ​guided. ​People ​can easily ​reject God; a lot of anarchists are atheists. ​They ​don’t respect, realize, ​or ​recognize a ​spiritual ​reality ​or ​God.

Ultimately, when you go into spiritual work, ​it is surrendering yourself to God’s will, to ​the ​
“​authority” ​of God. Rejecting ​all ​authority can result ​in the left-hand path, a “black ​magic” ​type, ​which ​is ​the ​worship ​of ​ego where you think, “​I ​can ​do ​whatever ​I ​want. ​I’m ​my ​own ​leader.

There’s ​some ​truth ​there, but ​ultimately this ​goes ​beyond ​that, because ​we ​are ​a ​vessel ​for ​God ​and ​we ​need ​to ​surrender ​to ​God’s ​will ​and ​accept ​God’s ​authority, ​not ​the ​authority ​of ​some ​biblical ​God ​who ​punishes ​us. ​That form of God is ​people ​projecting ​their ​own ​unconscious ​father ​wound ​onto ​God.”

“Shadow work is not about indulging in the shadow and acting it out, nor is it about repressing or suppressing negative emotions. It has nothing to do with inaction or simply letting external evil run rampant.

It is also not about forcing yourself to feel or think positive thoughts and emotions. This only pushes the shadow further underground and gives it more unconscious power. That is the dark side, or limitation, of stoicism and forced thought control: what appears to be self-mastery can easily become repression.

Instead, shadow work is about fully feeling, integrating, and transmuting these unconscious patterns through an internal alchemical process.

This process allows you to reclaim the energy trapped within the shadow and transform it, which can help you genuinely raise your frequency and level of consciousness according to the law of ascent and descent.

This law states that you can only rise into and truly embody higher levels of consciousness to the degree that you are willing and able to descend into the depths of your own being and shadow, through cycles within cycles, again and again, until enough of the shadow has been integrated for you to become firmly established at a higher level of consciousness.

But many people can overestimate themselves. There is always the Luciferic temptation for the ego to become spiritualized while the shadow is pushed even further underground. In that case, what appears to be spiritual development can actually become another form of inflation and delusion.

It can establish what some esoteric traditions call a “false foundation,” which can be even harder to break through than a hardened ego structure. We see this a lot these days, where narcissism has become normalized, especially spiritual narcissism.”

I recently had a great conversation with Beth Martens, exploring deeper questions behind the work I’ve been sharing for many years.

At a time when so much attention is focused on external events and the challenges unfolding in the world, we kept returning to one central principle:

The work begins within.

We explored the relationship between our inner world and the larger forces shaping humanity, including:

- The path of psycho-spiritual transformation and inner purification

- How humanity’s level of consciousness relates to collective events

- The Yuga Cycle, Ekpyrosis, and this Time of Transition

- G.I. Gurdjieff’s work and its relevance today

- Humanity’s shadow and how it is reflected in the outer world

- The importance of discernment in times of confusion and uncertainty

- What may be unfolding in the world and what is being asked of those committed to “the Work”

The influences that have shaped my own work and perspective

If you feel called to look beyond surface events and explore the deeper forces influencing both the individual and humanity as a whole, I hope you find this conversation meaningful.

“Some ​people fall into a passive form of spirituality. ​They ​believe ​that ​surrender ​to ​divine ​will ​means ​not ​acting, ​not ​committing, ​not ​making ​any ​choices, ​not ​making ​any ​effort, ​and simply letting things happen or going with the flow, as if God will do everything for them.

The ​spiritual ​path ​does ​not ​ask ​us ​to ​become ​passive ​bystanders ​who ​merely ​observe ​everything. But forced ​personal ​will ​and ​mistaking ​surrender ​with ​having ​no ​will ​at ​all ​are ​two ​extreme ​distortions ​of ​what ​aligned ​conscious ​will ​is ​really ​all ​about.

Will ​is ​also ​one ​of ​the ​most ​important parts ​of inner work; it is very ​necessary, because ​without ​will, ​you ​cannot ​focus or ​concentrate.

There’s ​no ​capacity ​to ​stay ​with ​discomfort, ​and there’s no progress because you get distracted; you cannot commit, so ​we ​need ​to ​build ​up ​our ​will.

Many ​people think the spiritual path is about giving up the will, ​just ​going ​along ​with ​the ​flow. ​Spirituality ​and ​the ​concept ​of ​non-​attachment ​have ​become ​very ​distorted ​this ​way.

Before ​the ​will ​can ​actually ​be ​surrendered ​to ​the ​divine, ​it ​has ​to ​be ​developed, ​purified, ​and ​really ​brought ​under ​conscious ​control so ​we’re not mechanically acting based on unconscious wounds, ​shadow programming, ​and conditioning.”

It’s about releasing the conditioning patterns that get in the way of expressing your authenticity and keeping what serves you.
