Time of Transition: The Battle for the Soul

The Splitting of Humanity and The Choice between Awakening or Assimilation

What this post covers:

• Why I’m launching this Substack as a space for deeper reflections and uncensored exploration beyond the noise of social media.

• Reflections on the deeper shifts unfolding within and around us as we move through a critical phase in humanity’s spiritual evolution.

• The hidden layers of the current spiritual war: AI, Transhumanism, disembodiment, and the influence of occult forces during this Time of Transition

• The intensifying splitting of humanity and how to navigate it by remembering who we are, anchoring the Divine, and consciously engaging in the Transition.

A Call from Within

For the past year, I’ve been sensing a deeper shift within myself and in the world.

It is one of those transitions I’ve felt and experienced at different junctures in my life. It feels like something is pulling me forward while letting go of some old, outdated layers.

There is an inner call to shift and align with something that wants to emerge.

After many years of walking this path, I now know that it is the Divine nudging me once again into the unknown and letting go of the past.

It is another shedding and a continuing process of death and rebirth.

It is about being receptive to the spiritual impulse and letting go of control, which the ego always likes to cling to.

This is easier said than done, for the majority of us, most of the time.

The Spiritual War Intensifies

I can sense and feel the splitting of humanity more intensely lately.

Many people have experienced that “splitting” over the past 5 years as a result of the plandemic and the totalitarian, draconian lockdowns that were imposed on humanity.

It resulted in ruptures in relationships, family, and friends, with devastating consequences and unseen metaphysical repercussions because of the COVID-19 vaccine, which, in my view, is a black magic spiritual weapon.

We are in a spiritual war, and it is now morphing into a different phase.

Hidden Forces Behind the Scenes

Many in the truth and freedom movement speak about being in a spiritual war, but most stay focused on the outer 3D aspects of the matrix (The Globalists, Zionists, governments [left, center, & right], WEF, Illuminati, “secret societies” or a specific group, etc).

The hidden spiritual war is not as obvious, but it will be more covert and deceitful, and fuelled by the rise of AI and Transhumanism.

It won’t be based on overt fear and control, or information warfare, but rather on hidden temptations that many people are already succumbing to.

The lure of comfort, in light of the rise of AI and Transhumanism, and following the path of least resistance are the most powerful attractors.

We’re standing on the edge of a massive evolutionary threshold that has the potential to either amplify your creative power, or erode your very humanity and the essence of what makes you human.

AI and the Subtle Takeover of the Soul

But AI is not the real threat, and I’m not anti-AI or against technology.

The question is not whether AI will take over, but if you can use the friction of these accelerating times of change to become who you are meant to be, in the process.

If you don’t make conscious efforts to evolve by:

• Harnessing your creativity

• Strengthening your willpower

• Expanding your attention span

• Shutting out distractions

• Refining your ability to focus on what truly matters

• Develop spiritually

• Cultivating your connection to imagination, inspiration, and intuition

…you are at risk of being overtaken by the forces of AI and Transhumanism.

This takeover will occur quickly and discreetly, as it already is.

Many people are already addicted to their phones, social media, and endless 60-90 second content, algorithms designed to keep the easy dopamine hits flowing and novelty coming.

These AI-based algorithms have already taken over, eroding people’s attention spans and ability to focus, think, and be creative.

This mental, emotional, and spiritual decline is accelerating, and AI will intensify it.

As the saying goes, what you don’t use, you lose.

Many people are losing their ability to think critically and be creative because they spend too much time consuming shallow content.

Increasingly, people are also now utilizing AI to craft their entire social media posts and comments, and some even carry on entire conversations with others entirely through ChatGPT.

As a writer and someone familiar with the voice of Chat-GPT, I find it easy to spot. The phrasing, the excessive em-dashes.

Soon, there will be more AI content on social media than original content created by human beings.

This makes everyone start to sound the same, like hive-mind NPCs (Non-Playable Characters), as ahrimanic beings overtake them.

According to Rudolf Steiner, these are the occult forces of materialism.

They obstruct depth of thought and feeling and inspire humans to merge with machines by pushing out the soul and turning humans into programmable automatons.

As a result, more people are becoming increasingly absorbed by the outside world and losing the connection to the real “I” within.

This is all part of the splitting of humanity.

But while many people will get further entrapped in artificiality and superficiality, others will yearn for more soul, depth, and quality, and these people will find each other.

Why I started this Substack

I see Substack as a platform that attracts this kind of person, and it’s one of the reasons why I started my own.

Inspired by my wife, Laura, who recently started her Substack, I feel compelled to stay true to my inspiration and creative process by focusing more on what I am good at: long-form content and writing.

I was never into writing short posts with catchy, clickbait phrases that do so well on social media.

I’m not interested in dumbing myself down to chase the algorithm.

It’s about quality and depth over quantity and superficiality.

Over the past two decades, I’ve written over 100 articles and essays on my website, Piercing the Veil of Reality, spanning a range of 2,000 to 40,000 words.

Some topics I write about require that depth.

They can’t be compressed into oversimplified bullet points or social-media-friendly posts and carousels.

This Substack will complement my main website, offering more frequent updates, deeper personal reflections, timely commentary, and serialized insights that go beyond what’s possible on social media.

I’ll explore psycho-spiritual evolution, esotericism, depth psychology, shadow work, spiritual warfare, Divine forces, and more.

A Spiritual Litmus Test

If you allow yourself to become mentally and spiritually atrophied during these times, stop thinking for yourself, and instead outsource all your creativity, problem-solving, ability to think, and learning to AI agents, I sense that you will risk losing a connection to your soul in the long run.

The solution is not to reject AI, either.

It is a powerful tool that, if used wisely, can benefit humanity in incredible ways.

Ahriman has positive aspects when integrated through higher values and Divine Truth stemming from the true Self.

It’s about using AI with a higher level of consciousness, creatively, in service to higher principles, and under the guidance of your true Self.

Technology is merely a tool. It can either serve the soul and spirit, or enslave.

But you can only make that distinction if you are already in touch with your soul essence.

This brings me to the necessity of psycho-spiritual work during these times, to anchor yourself in the Divine and embody your soul, in this lifetime.

The real task is not to keep up with technology nor reject it, but to reclaim what makes us truly human.

In a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, we’re called to become more soul-infused humans anchored in qualities no machine can ever replicate:

• Intuition

• Imagination

• Inspiration

• Presence

• Embodied love and compassion

• Relational intelligence

• Higher purpose

And the capacity for each one of us to live a life of meaning, connected to who we truly are and connected to nature, as an expression of the Divine within.

This part is unique to each of us and cannot be replicated or imitated by any machine.

The Long Game of the Dark Hyperdimensional Forces

This hidden spiritual war is nothing new. It is ancient.

What I’ve been writing and speaking about for over 25 years regarding hyperdimensional interference, entity manipulation, and the splitting of humanity has become more self-evident and intensified.

The hidden dark forces that have had a grip on humanity for thousands of years are only accelerating their long-planned endgame.

Here it is in a nutshell:

From a larger hyperdimensional Matrix perspective, the long-term agenda is the full takeover of the human body by occult hyperdimensional forces.

These dark spiritual forces are referenced in all occult, spiritual, and esoteric traditions and are given various names.

They work through humans.

We are all affected by them to varying degrees.

Hence, the spiritual war is within and through us and has always been.

This “end game” strategy involves priming and genetically and energetically modifying human beings, which affects their soul and their afterlife experience.

They do this through various means, like:

• mRNA vaccines

• Transhumanism (artificially modifying the body and merging it with machines)

• Pharmaceuticals

• Toxic GMO foods

• Environmental Toxins

• AI dependence (resulting in atrophy of thinking for oneself and creativity)

• …and others

And especially through head-centric living and what I call the “trauma matrix installment” program, which results in:

• dissociation

• disembodiment

• and chronic [nervous system] dysregulation

All of these then create entry points for hostile spirits to take over the human body via dislodging the soul from it.

The Spiritual Vacuum and Entity Invasion

Due to the increase of technology, there is also an increased focus on a materialistic view of life, which creates a spiritual vacuum that can become dangerous to humanity, as Rudolf Steiner has warned.

In today’s materialistic world, many prioritize comfort and convenience over spiritual growth, resulting in a growing disconnection from their true Selves and Spirit.

Excessive, irrelevant, shallow media consumption, over-identification with the physical body, and a materialistic mindset weaken the soul connection, making individuals more susceptible to external occult influences.

It creates a vacuum, which then gets filled by something else:

“As humans increasingly withdraw their souls from the physical body [due to the influence of the forces of materialism], this body is increasingly exposed to the danger of being occupied by other entities.

And if the souls are not prepared to accept impulses that can only derive from spiritual knowledge [and spiritual practice], then the body is taken over by demonic forces.

Humanity is approaching this fate, whereby it is possible for bodies to be filled with demonic forces.”

— Rudolf Steiner (1917, abridged quote)

We are also in a time where we are being flooded with both corrupted and distorted spiritual teachings, from the New Age arena to the revival of dogmatic religious beliefs.

Many of them are outright creations or have been greatly influenced by these deceptive spirits themselves.

These ideas fuel spiritual bypassing and the anthropomorphizing of God, which involves projecting human traits onto an external deity.

This can lead spiritual seekers into further deception, as they “dream of being awake but are deep asleep,” as Gurdjieff alluded to.

Beyond the Black Pill: The Spiritual Maturity to Face Darkness

This is not about being “black-pilled” (a term used for an extremely negative and pessimistic state of mind that views humanity as doomed), having no hope, nor do I see only darkness and evil ahead.

In my experience, the black-pilled view is a disempowering state of mind, rooted in victim/blame consciousness.

I can empathize with people who feel this way, as I have had my moments of black-pilled-ness when contemplating the state of humanity.

However, for the most part, I am now seeing it all with excitement, like a grand adventure —the archetypal battle of light vs. darkness.

The dark forces and evil are both part of the Divine creation.

They are necessary forces that serve a cosmic teaching function and provide the friction to act as catalysts for the evolution of consciousness.

As the Mother (Sri Aurobindo’s collaborator) said:

“The hostile forces are tolerated in the world only because they put man’s sincerity to the test.”

— The Mother

What does she mean by sincerity?

It means stopping to lie to yourself and taking full responsibility for the state of your consciousness and your life.

It is also about having sincerity in your psycho-spiritual work and being sincere in your aspiration and surrender to the Divine, so that you can spiritualize your being and fully transform the lower animal nature.

“The role [cosmic function] of the hostile forces is to test the sincerity and readiness of the individual, humanity, and the earth itself for spiritual ascension.”

— Sri Aurobindo

When I reflect on this broader perspective, I no longer view things in black-and-white terms.

Everything is becoming more nuanced, and rather than making judgments of what is “good” and what is “bad,” I see it all as part of the divine play unfolding.

God’s Will doesn’t work according to our human morality, human logic, and what we want to see according to our own, largely conditioned, preferences.

The Divine sees far beyond space and time.

The Divine Paradox of Suffering and Awakening

If you look back, you can see the paradox of how suffering tends to lead to a deeper awakening.

Over the past 5 years, we have been subjected to an intense onslaught of the hostile forces attempting to enslave humanity via medical tyranny (COVID shots), losses of freedom, and ongoing censorship.

Many people have lost friends and family, their livelihoods, and faced numerous hardships.

However, the intensity of all of this also forced many people to question everything they were told and taught.

It inspired many to question their own lives and the choices they were making.

It forced them to focus on what truly matters.

It also resulted in immense disillusionment for many people.

Those who recognized the teaching function of everything that happened and didn’t succumb to the temptation of getting stuck in the victim-blame game were able to use the chaos of these times to let go of what needed to be let go of and align with a deeper call from their soul.

For many, it initiated a profound journey of awakening.

In other words, something good came out of a seemingly bad situation, in the context of the evolution of consciousness.

We all have our individual roles to play during these times, and the Divine attempts to do His work through us, as unique transducers of Divine Will.

Yet, we also need to make an effort to receive the spiritual impulse via the inner purification process and a sincere aspiration to our higher Nature.

There are also Divine forces supporting and assisting us, and we can receive their guidance.

Yet, they won’t just save us or bail us out of our situation, but they act according to Divine Will and will refrain from interfering with the soul and karmic lessons we need to learn for our own development.

The Time of Transition

I chose the title “Time of Transition” for my Substack because we are currently undergoing a massive transition on a cosmic, global, and human level.

It affects all dimensions and beings across the planes of creation.

I have also had many “transitions” in my life, just like this one I’m sensing now.

When reflecting on your own life, I’m sure many of you can relate.

Perhaps you can also sense, or now see retrospectively, the Divine force (God) guiding you and nudging you, not only through blissful experiences and amazing synchronicities, but also through experiences that:

• Go against what you thought you wanted to happen

• By taking away parts of your life and certain relationships

• Revealing your wounds and making you face your shadow and all of what you were afraid of and were hiding from

But all of this led you to your authentic self, to a more fulfilling life with a deeper purpose and a higher vision.

The Law of Ascent and Descent

Or maybe you are deep down in the pit right now, with no light in sight, wondering, “Why me?” or “God, have you forsaken me?”

I have had these moments too.

I have been on the brink of suicide a few times, when my life fell apart and I descended into the hell realm within my own psyche, lingering in despair and shame.

These dark experiences were being augmented by all kinds of hostile demonic entities feeding on my suffering.

Yet, each time I was able to climb my way out of it, and after the descent, I emerged stronger and reached higher levels of consciousness.

Through these experiences, I learned the most important lesson and Divine law on the path:

The Law of Ascent and Descent.

It states that you can only truly rise to higher levels of consciousness and raise your frequency as deeply as you are willing to go.

The more you can explore the shadow within yourself, purifying your being by descending into the underworld, the higher you climb.

The path toward awakening is not a linear road upward to heaven.

It spirals up, down, in, out, back, and forth, expanding on all levels and bringing everything unconscious within us to the surface, along the way.

Anything that is asleep within us will be put under the spotlight of Truth to be purified in the Light.

As Sri Aurobindo said:

“None can reach heaven who has not passed through hell.”

And as echoed by Carl Jung:

“No tree, it is said, can grow to heaven unless its roots reach down to hell.”

This law not only applies to us personally, but also to the collective.

The darkness must be made conscious within ourselves and in the world, for they are both interrelated, since all is One.

The Esoteric Context of the Shift

So, this is the evolutionary process we’re in during this Time of Transition.

Boris Mouravieff, in Gnosis, refers to the “Time of Transition” as a phase marking the shift of the ages, a concept also mirrored in other esoteric teachings, both Eastern and Western.

This period offers a rare opportunity.

It calls on a fraction of humanity, those who answer the call, to consciously engage in the Great Work: to become individuated, spiritualized, and capable of anchoring the Divine Force.

Through this process, they contribute to the transmutation of the world and the liberation of the earth from hostile, anti-Divine influences.

If this evolutionary task is not fulfilled, the consequence will be cataclysmic destruction, similar to the fate of Atlantis or the symbolic account of the flood in the story of Noah’s Ark, and there will be a necessity to repeat the entire cycle.

Our Role in the Transition and Divine Manifestation

Ultimately, the Divine will overcome all of our ignorance, falsehood, and evil in the evolutionary process.

However, we cannot sit back and simply let God do His thing.

We still have to play our part and consciously participate in the Manifestation as conscious transducers of Divine Will, acting as His instrument.

Just like Arjuna on the battlefield with Krishna, the key message of the Bhagavad Gita is that non-action is not an option in the face of the battle.

It’s not about being passive.

All of these pacifist ideas have been used for spiritual bypassing across the ages, and are also based on the corruption of spiritual teachings.

The ignorance they create has only served the hostile asuric forces.

But here’s the trick:

These times are not about being “neutral” or “sitting on the fence;” it is about having the courage to hold a position, yet also without attachment to it.

It’s about acting without concern for defeat or success, and acting only in concentration on the Divine.

That’s what Krishna taught Arjuna: to take action, without attachment to the outcome.

It’s the work and duty of the Karma Yogin.

It is when you stop acting purely for personal and selfish reasons and desires, but for something greater than yourself.

In these times, this perspective gives me something higher to aspire towards.

These are exciting times to be alive, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

To be continued.

Godspeed.
