“When you have never faced your own shadow or potential for evil, you can be genuinely shocked when you encounter that darkness in others and even deny it and defend them or get into cognitive dissonance because it’s too disturbing to face.

Carl Jung even mentioned that a lot of people who have not faced their own shadow are far more vulnerable to manipulation by evil forces that hide behind the mask of sanity, charm, and so-called niceness in human form.

But what is being revealed through the Epstein files and elite pedophile rings, sex trafficking, and all of that goes far beyond sexual desires or sexual fetishes or just hooking up with “gorgeous women” or “hot chicks.”

It even goes beyond attraction to children, especially when viewed through an esoteric or occult lens, because at that level, you are dealing with some sort of Asuric, Soratic, or demonic forces and entities that are working through and possessing certain members of the powerful elite.

These are individuals who basically function as empty vessels for forces most humans have no awareness of. Humanity is not on top of the food chain. There are powerful nonphysical beings that feed on suffering, torture, and indulgence in the lower nature working through human puppets.”

“Joseph Campbell says the demon you swallow gives you its power, and the greater the pain, the greater life will follow. I believe in the same vein that the trauma you can overcome gives you its power too.

Many don’t realize the spiritual power you need to generate to get out of a very dark place as you battle evil, within and without. But the more darkness you can face within yourself and the world, the more light you anchor after that journey.

The more you can “descend into the wound” and rest in the mud of your deepest pain, you’ll eventually see that that mud turns into a lotus and reaches toward the light.

The more darkness you can face within, the more light will follow. This is the process of alchemical transformation. This turns lead into gold. Suffering into strength. Facing trauma can turn into a deeper connection to life and the divine intelligence encoded within it.

The demon you swallow can then turn into an angel. The things you are most afraid of facing often contain the exact medicine your soul needed. The more you can face suffering with strength, the greater the light that will follow.”

“Things are continuing to heat up as we near the Saturn-Neptune conjunction on February 20th. There will be historical moments occurring both collectively, and many who are being hit personally by this transit will have personal events of intensity as well.

Themes of Saturn and Neptune on a psychological and spiritual level:

• Loss of faith and moments of extreme disillusionment with also the possibility for
• Deepened faith forged through suffering.

The world is very heavy right now. We are being forced to face many harsh and tragic realities. Disillusionment and these kinds of reality checks are part of waking up.

The moments we feel most alienated and separated from God are the moments we are most primed for a spiritual breakthrough. But Saturn-Neptune doesn’t want us to get there by lying to ourselves, getting caught up in denial or idealism.

During the last Saturn-Neptune conjunction in Capricorn, we saw the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was also at this time that mass media via television started to grow. This time it is in Aries, giving it a war-time fervour.

Aspected by Pluto in Aquarius, we can see moments of rebellion and anarchy are happening, while media is now being taken over by fake AI videos and influencers. It is hard to know what’s real anymore.

During another Saturn-Neptune transit (the square) the Truman Show and the Matrix were released. We have to remember that things are not always as they seem. The only way we can see the truth of what is happening to the world, is to cleanse the doors of perception: consciousness.

The Saturn-Neptune conjunction can give us the courage to face reality, no matter how tragic, without illusion, and be the embodiment of our spiritual values. Moments of suffering can call us to be of service to the people around us.”

“Most people are caught up in the tunnel vision of the 3D manifestations of the “Matrix,” like the Deep State, the Globalists, the Central Bank, the Fed, the WEF, the Illuminati, Zionists, or any other “secret society” or institution they focus on, missing out on the occult hyper-dimensional aspect of the “matrix control system.”

Most of the powerful psychopaths in power are nothing more than empty vessels and puppets of powerful anti-divine asuric/archonic occult hostile beings.

Many murders and other violent crimes (including pedophilia and rape) committed by psychopathic individuals (be it individual killers, rapists, or politicians in positions of high power giving orders to kill or engaging in sexual ritualistic abuse) can be attributed to these occult malevolent entities.

They possess, or work through, their human puppets to feed on the “loosh” of suffering – it’s a very “delicious” frequency “meal” for these beings, for humanity is not “top of the food chain” – frequency-consciousness speaking.”

“In order to individuate, we must examine the personality we have developed to adapt to our family, environment, society, and culture, because much of what we consider our values or beliefs is not truly our own.

They are internalized from parents, teachers, peers, media, government, or the collective culture of our era. The first stage of individuation asks what is authentic to me and what merely reflects my conditioning.

It is a stripping away of imitation and conformity, so that something original, one’s genuine essence, can begin to emerge. Something that is your own and not just repeated or taken from your surroundings.

Carl Jung described the Persona as a segment of the collective psyche. We all wear a mask or social identity to function in society; it is normal and is necessary to a degree, but it is not our total Self.

When we mistake this Persona for our true Self, that’s when trouble kicks in, and suffering begins. The Persona mimics individuality, but it is not the true individual, the capital S Self.

The false persona allows us to play roles and fit into the social order, but it is not an individual in the true sense. When we mistake the Persona for the Self with a capital S, we live as copies of the collective ideal rather than original expressions of life.”

“Our level of consciousness greatly influences how we see ourselves and the world. A person full of love can find beauty everywhere, a person full of hate will find ugliness everywhere.

According to David Hawkins, who outlined the map of consciousness, our level of consciousness also determines how we experience God.

Those who live primarily in the state of guilt, fear or anger see God as vindictive, punitive, and vengeful, while those who live in higher states of consciousness like acceptance, reason, and love, see God as merciful, wise, and loving.

A common misconception about having a certain level of consciousness is that we feel the same all the time. This is not true; we all have a baseline level of consciousness that we can deviate up and down from.

Your baseline state of consciousness is different than you having a temporary fleeting emotion. It's healthy to have a wide range of emotions. But if we are mainly stuck in one dominant disempowering emotion and it doesn't change, it's a sign that we have some emotional healing to do.

The more you can be present with your feelings, allowing yourself to fully experience them, breathing into them, and letting them go, the more you will change your state of consciousness.”

In this episode, I sit down with Daniel Harner, a clinical psychologist and psychospiritual mentor who has dedicated the last 25 years to connecting what most teachings keep separate: Jungian shadow work, Hawkins' map of consciousness, somatic healing, and non-dual realization.

Daniel shares his journey from Austria to Sedona, six years studying directly with David Hawkins, deep Jungian analysis, and what he discovered when the path demanded more than any single framework could offer.

"You do need to know what evil and darkness look like. You have to have experienced it within yourself and in direct experience as a face-to-face moment at some point in your life.
Without you walking through your own fear of death, your own fear of darkness, and your own projections on what evil is, you will never be able to advance meaningfully spiritually."

— Daniel Harner

Together we explore:

- David Hawkins' Map of Consciousness: how it really works and where it's been misused
- Bridging Hawkins' non-dual framework with Jungian shadow work and somatic integration
- How the luciferic temptation operates even at high levels of consciousness and targets the seeker at every stage of development
- Why spiritual teachers fall from grace
- How serious transformational work attracts resistance, opposition, and unconscious sabotage
- Why you must face the darkness within yourself before you can advance spiritually
- The distortions of pop-culture shadow work and spiritual bypassing
- The sacred role of the mentor-student relationship and the projections that come with it
- Where AI fits into the evolution of consciousness
- What authentic psychospiritual transformation actually requires in these times

“On David Hawkins' map of consciousness, from 0 to 200 is pretty much the underbelly of consciousness. This is what Jung would denote as the shadow. This is the darker side, the animalistic, or the primal side of human nature.

In Freudian psychology they would contextualize it as the id, meaning everything that's underneath are animalistic drives, and at 200 it is this demarcation, this threshold that when you cross over into a state of consciousness, it is characterized by courage and really a sense of integrity, where you say okay, I am here, I am present, and I am strong.

Whereas everything below 200 makes you kind of go weak. From 200 going upward, it's like there is a different energy behind it that drives you upward to a higher state of consciousness.

Below 200, you're almost in a hive mind, in the state of the collective, the unindividuated state. You, as an individual, don’t actually realize that you exist. You are so entrenched in a collective hive mind consciousness that you almost have no ability to take personal responsibility.

Basically, you could say a human being who calibrates below 200 is playing out the Karpman drama triangle between rescuer, victim, and perpetrator.”

“People who are really having extreme mental, emotional, and spiritual difficulties in their life are normally energy vampires to the people around them, and they have a soul that is not very strong and to the front. It becomes the perfect entry point for other forces.

Their soul, their psychic being, is not strong enough to reject these forces, and they get taken over. You see this in cases of schizophrenia, which is very common, and drug addiction, especially crack, heroin, and even opiates, which are really intense.

A lot of the mainstream pharmaceuticals that we prescribe for mental illness also dislodge the psychic being and the soul enough for other beings to enter. If you want to go down a rabbit hole, you can see the level that the mainstream medical industry is working from; on an occult level, it’s to keep people imprisoned.”

"The danger of most pseudo-spiritual paths is that they stimulate the ego, whereas the authentic path will suffocate it."
- Paul Brunton

Do you truly want to awaken, or just be happy in your dream state?

Everyone wants the truth, until it reveals aspects of themselves they'd rather not see.

Without disillusionment, shocks, and facing the darkness within yourself, you won't be able to progress spiritually.

Worse, you may attempt to perfect the false self and spiritualize the ego, taking on a spiritual identity.

This is very common in New Age pop-spiritual circles and dogmatic religious circles alike.

Why do so many seekers begin the inner work but drop out halfway or worse, delude themselves that they are already "awake" or have integrated the shadow?

The answer isn't what most people want to hear.

In this article, I explore the hidden mechanics behind why transformation stalls, the esoteric Law of Seven, the Luciferic temptation of spiritual pride, and the belief that one has already done the work, and what it actually takes to cross the threshold.

I've had to face this in myself. More than once.

What's behind the wave of public baptism videos, "Christ is King" posts, Bible-thumping influencers, and "reborn Christians" calling yoga and meditation "demonic"?

Is this really a return to God?

Over 100 years ago, Oswald Spengler predicted this exact phenomenon.

He called it the "Second Religiosity": a return to dead religious forms at the end of a civilization's life cycle.

Not spiritual rebirth, but civilizational sleepwalking dressed in holy robes.

He called it "mock-religion." Hollow, performative, and corrupted.

But there's a deeper layer: how hostile occult forces actively steer this process and why the real spiritual war is within and through us, not out there.

New article exploring the occult, psychological, and esoteric dynamics behind the neo-Christian revival.

“Dr. Hawkins was a mystic and very much in a transcendent state of consciousness. He said, the more you commit yourself to the truth and the light, the more adversity you're going to pull up from the unconscious. So, the more set you are in your intention to become unconditionally loving, the more you will bring up the adversary of love.

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

If you want to land at a high state of consciousness, you always have to face polarity and the dichotomy of opposites. You basically have to walk through and integrate them to land at a higher state of consciousness.”

“What we’re witnessing right now, and increasingly so over the past 6 years, is a textbook manifestation of [Oswald] Spengler’s Second Religiosity playing out in real time:

the wave of “reborn” Christians,

the New Age to dogmatic Christian pipeline,

the rigid literalist Bible-thumping,

the labeling of yoga, meditation, astrology, and shamanism as “demonic” or “Luciferian,”

the missionary zeal of “accept Jesus as your savior or go to hell,”

the compulsive need to post “Christ is King,”

the obsession with Jesus as a historical figure and Biblical literalism,

to announce being “saved by Jesus,”

to record oneself being baptized for public display,

and the rise of “Christian” influencers.

People are reverting to a medieval form of dogmatic mentalized Christianity, devoid of the inner Christ consciousness that infused the original teaching even before the Bible was produced.

The forms are reoccupied, but the cathedrals are not being built from within.

When religious forms are no longer alive and infused with Spirit from the inside, they have to be enforced from the outside: through posturing, dogma, moral absolutism, social shaming, and the demonization of everything that doesn’t fit the program.

The less inner spiritual embodiment and realization of the “kingdom within,” the more aggressive the outer proclamation and the need to proselytize.

This is why you see former ayahuasca participants, Burning Man “Burners,” and New Agers violently condemning their past as “satanic” after converting. They are often judgmental of others for still engaging in these practices and beliefs, or feel superior to them because they have been “saved.”

They’ve swung from one extreme identification to another. One pill for another. One escapism to another.

The dead giveaway of this shallow neo-Christian revival is the need to make a public display of the conversion, the baptism, the Bible thumping, the new “Christian” identity.

Carl Jung called it a flight into the opposites. It provides temporary psychological relief but suppresses essential parts of the psyche that remain unintegrated and continue to feed the shadow.”

“Elementals feed off attention and emotional resonance; they find entry points through unconscious identification. For example, we all have unconscious core beliefs we are not aware of, like, “I'm worthless. I'm not good enough. I will never find love,” whatever it may be.

These unconscious negative core beliefs can attract negative thought forms. That's why only trying to think positively is just symptom management.

Emotional reactivity can also attract or feed certain elementals, especially unprocessed anger, grief, shame, mental fixation, and looping thoughts, and ultimately, energetic porosity when your aura is already weak; all kinds of elementals can come in.

The more you dwell on a thought form, the more you identify with it, and the more emotional charge you give it, the more you attract elementals of the same kind.

From the mental astral plane, they get embedded in your aura. So you can even originate some thoughts yourself, but it will attract the same thoughts on that frequency. All of your recurring habitual thoughts are elementals embedded in your aura.

They can easily be activated with a corresponding trigger, emotion, or event, and over time, as we grow older, we have more and more of these habitual thoughts, and if not integrated or transmuted, these elementals can drain your energy, influence your behaviors, desires, decisions, and aims in life.

That’s why the questions, “Where do your desires come from? Are they truly yours?” are so important to ask yourself.”
