  • Delivering Tools of Transformation: A Reflection from My Path – with Narration

    In the quiet moments of my dreams, I often find myself immersed in scenarios that echo the challenges and paradoxes of my waking life. Recently, I dreamt of handing over a 12.7 mm HMG—a symbol, not a weapon—to individuals who might not have been ready for such responsibility.

    The man I handed it to wasn’t an ideal recipient by any societal measure. He represented the base of the pyramid, those living in the shadows of light, carrying both their potential and their unhealed wounds.

    This dream stayed with me. It wasn’t about the literal fear of the consequences of my actions but rather the deeper realization of what it means to offer tools of transformation in a world where not everyone is ready—or willing—to wield them responsibly.

    The Fear of Misunderstanding

    In the dream, I found myself wiping the weapon clean of my fingerprints, a gesture loaded with symbolism. It reflected a deeply ingrained fear—not of what those individuals might do with the tool, but of reprisal from societal gatekeepers.

    This fear stems from the possibility of being misunderstood, of having my intent misinterpreted. What if my act of giving is seen not as an effort to empower but as an act of disruption? What if the tools I offer are twisted into something destructive?

    This fear is not foreign to me; it is one I’ve encountered many times on my path. Sharing insights and tools that challenge established norms often provokes resistance, suspicion, or even condemnation. It is a fear rooted in lived experience, and it demands courage to move forward despite it.

    Understanding Readiness

    The truth is, I cannot determine who is ready for the tools I share. TULWA—the path of interdimensional introspection and self-transformation—is not for everyone. It demands a level of introspection, resilience, and openness that not all are prepared to embrace.

    Much like the ancient role of the shaman, this path is not one that can be forced or lightly entered. It requires courage, and more importantly, a willingness to confront and transform one’s inner darkness.

    But readiness is not something I can assess for others. I am not here to gatekeep the path; I am here to share my experiences and insights, through my work and through Ponder. My role is not to guide one-on-one but to ensure that what I share is clear, accessible, and of a quality that sparks understanding and introspection.

    The Risks of Transformation

    There is always risk. Some will fall. Some will misuse the tools or insights they gain. We’ve seen this story play out in mythology, history, and even fiction—think of Anakin Skywalker, who, despite being trained as a Jedi, succumbed to his unresolved anger and fell into darkness.

    Transformation is not without its perils, especially for those who carry heavy unresolved shadows. The more powerful the tools, the greater the potential for both light and destruction.

    Yet, I choose to believe in humanity’s capacity for light. My own journey has shown me that most people, when given the tools and the understanding, will strive for clarity. They will walk the narrow and expansive path of inner transformation, seeking alignment with their higher selves and contributing to the collective awakening.

    Sharing with Care

    The dream also reminded me of the importance of context and caution. Offering tools without warnings, without the necessary understandings, can be like handing over a weapon without guidance.

    It’s my responsibility to ensure that what I share carries the weight of my own experiences and reflections. I must be transparent about the challenges of this path and the responsibilities that come with accessing deeper layers of understanding.

    TULWA is not a one-size-fits-all journey. It is not a quick fix or a spiritual shortcut. It is a deliberate, ongoing process of defragmentation and transformation, of reclaiming the light trapped in shadow and walking with intention through the complexities of existence. I strive to make this clear in everything I share. The tools are there, but the responsibility to use them lies with the individual.

    Faith in the Path

    Despite the risks, I hold faith in the path. Not because it is perfect, but because it is real. It is built on my own experiences, my own transformations, and my own failures. I know the power of these tools because I have wielded them myself, and I have seen the light they can bring when used with intention and integrity.

    Some may falter. Some may misuse what they learn. But I trust that most will strive for clarity, for alignment, and for light. It is not my role to decide who is ready or not. My role is to share—to offer what I know with honesty and authenticity, and to trust that those who need it will find their way to it.

    Choosing Courage Over Fear

    The act of erasing fingerprints in the dream reminds me of the fear that lingers: fear of being judged, fear of being misunderstood. But courage, I’ve learned, is not the absence of fear—it is the willingness to act despite it.

    The dream calls me to move beyond this fear, to embrace the possibility of misunderstanding, and to trust in the transformative potential of light.

    This is the chance we take as Light Warriors. To deliver the tools, even when we cannot control the outcomes. To shine the light, even when it may be misunderstood. To believe in the capacity of others to transform themselves, just as we have transformed ourselves.

    And in that, I find both purpose and peace.

  • The Light We Bring Into Darkness: A Journey of Unity and Transformation

    The Hermit’s Room

    “The room was sparse, its stone walls heavy with the weight of silence. A single, narrow window let in a muted morning light that cast soft shadows across the floor. Beyond the window lay a world buzzing with life, but in here, everything was still. It was the kind of stillness that could either break you or reveal what lay beneath the noise.

    The hermit had chosen this solitude, or so he told himself. He had stepped away from the world, retreating to this bare, unadorned space to face the echoes that had followed him all his life. Here, there were no distractions, no illusions to cling to—only the shadows that filled the corners of the room and the recesses of his mind.

    One morning, as he sat at the wooden desk, staring at the empty page before him, the words came unbidden: “I mørket finner du lyset, om det er lyset du tar med deg inn.” “In darkness, you will find light, but only if it is the light you bring with you.”

    He hadn’t planned on writing them. They surfaced like a breath breaking through deep water, vital and unexpected. For days, perhaps weeks, he had sat in the room, wrestling with the weight of his own shadows. The walls seemed to press closer with every passing hour, holding the gravity of his fears, his regrets, his unanswered questions.

    The light he had long sought—the kind that comes from another’s hand, another’s voice—was nowhere to be found. It dawned on him slowly, like the first hint of sunrise, that it was never meant to come from outside. The light had always been within him, buried in the heart of the very darkness he had been trying to escape.

    Those words on the page weren’t just a realization—they were a lifeline.

    In that quiet, dim room, the hermit began to understand something he would carry with him for the rest of his life: darkness isn’t the enemy. It is the womb of transformation, the mirror where the light we bring finds its reflection. And without the courage to walk into it, we risk being blinded by the very light we think will save us.”

    So Dark The Con of Man – A World Blinded by the Light

    The story above is real for someone, somewhere—perhaps even for all of us at certain moments. It doesn’t need stone walls or a hermit’s retreat to unfold; it’s a state of mind we carry within. That feeling of being cornered by life, of being pressed inward by shadows we’d rather not face, is as universal as it is personal. And in those moments, the temptation is always the same: to look outward for light, for answers, for escape.

    For as long as humanity has walked this Earth, we’ve chased the light. The light of salvation, of knowledge, of success—always reaching outward, as though the answers to our struggles lie somewhere beyond us. We’ve been told to seek the light, to stand in it, to bathe in its radiance. Yet, in all this pursuit, something crucial has been lost: the understanding that the light we truly need is not out there, but within.

    It isn’t that light is wrong. Far from it. Light is essential—it reveals, it inspires, it connects. But light, untethered, can also blind. For aeons, humanity has been blinded by the light, so dazzled by its promise that we’ve forgotten to look inward, into the shadows where the deeper truths reside.

    In doing so, we’ve unwittingly perpetuated what I call The Con of Man: the illusion that salvation lies in the external, in what we can see, touch, and grasp. This con has kept us trapped, cycling through the same patterns of fear, dependence, and disconnection.

    It’s a system that thrives on fragmentation. Religions preach a duality of good versus evil, urging us to reject anything dark as sinful or wrong. Economic systems encourage relentless striving for external markers of success while neglecting the inner poverty this creates.

    Even modern spirituality, with its mantras of “love and light,” often skirts the shadows, afraid to confront the complexity of what lies within. This is the con: to keep us focused outward, on the light that blinds, rather than inward, where the real work begins.

    But the greatest irony is this: the light we seek cannot exist without the dark. The more we reject the darkness, the more fragmented we become, cutting off vital parts of ourselves. Darkness isn’t the absence of light—it’s its partner, its counterbalance. Together, they create the dynamic tension that drives transformation. Without darkness, light stagnates; without light, darkness consumes.

    This understanding didn’t come easily to me. For much of my life, I was trapped in the same illusion. I chased external light—validation, control, power—thinking it would make me whole. But the more I pursued it, the more fractured I became. It was only when I found myself in the stark isolation of a prison cell, stripped of all the external light I thought I needed, that I began to see clearly. In that darkness, I realized the light was never out there. It was always within, waiting for me to turn inward and carry it into the shadow.

    To embrace this truth is to step out of the con. It is to recognize that light and darkness are not enemies, but partners in the dance of transformation. It is to see that what we fear most in the shadows is often the very thing that holds the key to our growth. When we stop running from darkness and instead walk into it carrying our light, we begin the process of true transformation—of becoming whole.

    Imagine a world where this perspective prevails. A world where humanity stops fearing inner darkness and instead embraces it as a portal to wisdom and transformation. It’s a world where systems built on fear and division crumble, replaced by communities rooted in unity and authenticity. It’s a world where individuals reclaim their inner sovereignty, no longer reliant on external saviors or illusions of light.

    This isn’t just a possibility—it’s a necessity. The systems that perpetuate the con are crumbling under their own weight. The time has come for humanity to reclaim the light we’ve been blinded by, to carry it inward, and to illuminate the shadows we’ve long ignored. The question is: are we ready?

    The Quantum Mirror – Finding Truth in the Smallest Spaces

    If the cosmos were a vast mirror, the proton might be the smallest shard reflecting the whole. Tiny and unassuming, it is the very foundation of matter, the building block of existence as we know it. Yet within its infinitesimal structure lies a profound truth: nothing is truly isolated. Every proton in the universe is connected, bound together by the unseen architecture of spacetime. This idea, explored in Nassim Haramein’s work, aligns with something I’ve long felt in my own journey—the smallest spaces often hold the greatest truths.

    The proton, despite its size, contains multitudes. It is composed of three quarks, held together by the strong nuclear force. But its true power lies beyond these components. Haramein’s research reveals that the proton exists within a holographic network, connected to every other proton through the quantum vacuum—a boundless “sea” of energy and information. This quantum vacuum, vibrating at the Planck scale, is the source of all matter and forces, the hidden matrix that underpins reality.

    This networked connectivity mirrors the interconnectedness of all things, a core truth I have come to understand through both experience and introspection. Just as every proton is linked to the fabric of spacetime, every individual is part of a collective web—what I call the Grid of Existence. On this grid, no act is isolated, no thought or transformation confined to the self. What happens in one proton, one person, ripples outward, influencing the whole.

    The idea of interconnectedness isn’t new. Philosophers, mystics, and scientists alike have long pointed to the unity of all things. But what’s striking about Haramein’s insights is how they map this unity onto the smallest scales of existence. The proton, with its holographic structure, shows us that the micro reflects the macro. What is true at the smallest scales is true at the largest: the universe is a fractal, endlessly repeating its patterns across dimensions and scales.

    This fractal nature of reality has profound implications for how we understand ourselves. If the proton is a microcosm of the universe, then each of us is as well. Just as the proton is connected to the entire cosmos, we are linked to the collective consciousness. And just as the quantum vacuum flows through the proton, shaping its mass and forces, the energy of the universe flows through us, shaping our experiences and potential.

    But this connection isn’t passive. It’s dynamic, alive. Haramein describes how the quantum vacuum curves spacetime, creating the forces that hold protons—and by extension, all matter—together. This dynamic flow of energy and information is what creates the strong nuclear force, the “glue” of the universe. In much the same way, the energy we bring to the Grid of Existence—our thoughts, emotions, and actions—shapes the forces that hold our lives and communities together.

    This brings me back to the Sub-Planck Dimension, a concept I’ve carried with me for decades. To me, this is the realm just beneath what we can measure, a space where dualities dissolve and pure potential resides. Haramein’s quantum vacuum seems to touch this dimension, hinting at the boundless possibilities that exist beyond the limits of spacetime. In this realm, light and darkness are not opposites but complementary forces, working together to create balance and flow.

    The proton, in all its simplicity, serves as a gateway to this understanding. It teaches us that smallness is not insignificance. Just as the proton connects to the entire universe, so too does our inner work connect to the collective. The light we bring to our own darkness ripples outward, influencing the Grid in ways we may never fully see. And just as the proton’s mass emerges from the energy of the quantum vacuum, our strength arises from engaging with the unseen, the unmeasured, the depths of ourselves.

    When we look into the proton, we’re not just seeing a particle. We’re seeing a mirror. A reflection of the interconnected, fractal nature of reality. A reminder that within the smallest spaces—the quantum, the inner self—lies the key to understanding the vastness of existence. The question isn’t whether we’re connected, but what we’re doing with that connection. Are we blind to it, distracted by illusions of separation? Or are we willing to embrace it, to work with the flow of energy that binds us to the whole?

    The proton challenges us to look closer, to see beyond appearances. It asks us to recognize that within the smallest, quietest places lie the greatest truths. And in doing so, it reminds us that we are not separate from the universe—we are the universe, folded into human form, waiting to unfold.

    The Trinity of Transformation – Light, Darkness, and the Third Way

    At the heart of all growth lies a dynamic interplay between opposing forces. Light and darkness. Expansion and contraction. Push and pull. This interplay creates a third force—one that transcends duality and propels transformation. It’s a principle I call the Concept of 3, and it lies at the core of the TULWA philosophy.

    When we choose light, we don’t banish darkness; we engage it. We step into the shadow, not to destroy it, but to work with it. The light, the darkness, and the tension between them create a trinity—a pattern that governs not only personal transformation but also the very structure of reality.

    The Trinity as a Universal Pattern

    In the quantum world, we see this principle reflected in the structure of the proton. The proton’s three quarks—bound together by gluons—form a trinity of forces. Two quarks “push” with like charges, while the third “pulls,” creating a stable yet dynamic system. This interplay generates the strong nuclear force, the glue that holds the proton together and, by extension, all matter.

    In much the same way, personal transformation depends on a balance between push and pull. After awakening, this balance shifts toward light, with two light-driven pushes counterbalancing one grounding pull of darkness:

    1. The First Push: Choosing to engage the inner shadow is an act of light. It’s a declaration of intent, a willingness to confront the parts of ourselves we’d rather ignore.
    2. The Pull: The shadow itself exerts a gravitational force, drawing us inward. This is the work of owning our darkness—sitting with the pain, the fear, the unresolved trauma—and acknowledging its reality.
    3. The Second Push: Searching for the light within the darkness, we find the hidden gifts: wisdom, strength, and energy that were trapped in the shadow. This creates forward momentum, transforming the pull into a force for growth.

    This dynamic—two light/push forces and one dark/pull force—is what I call a positive spin. It ensures progress without losing balance. Pre-awakening, the dynamic is often inverted, with darkness dominating: two steps back for every step forward. But post-awakening, light takes the lead, driving us toward unity and clarity.

    The Shadow as a Portal

    The shadow has a dual nature. It can hold us back, pulling us into cycles of fear and self-doubt. But it can also serve as a portal, a doorway to deeper understanding and wholeness. The difference lies in how we engage it. Do we resist it, feeding its power? Or do we step into it carrying our light, trusting that what we fear most often holds the key to our liberation?

    In my own journey, I’ve found that the greatest breakthroughs come not from avoiding darkness but from choosing to work with it. Anger, pain, regret—these emotions aren’t obstacles to be overcome; they’re energy trapped in old patterns, waiting to be freed. When we shine the light of awareness into these spaces, we release their hold, transforming them into sources of strength.

    This is the essence of the TULWA approach: light doesn’t destroy darkness; it redeems it. By integrating the shadow, we become whole. And in that wholeness, we discover the third way—a state beyond duality, where light and dark are not opposites but partners in creation.

    The Trinity Within Us

    The Concept of 3 isn’t just a pattern in nature; it’s a blueprint for our inner world. Within each of us, the trinity plays out in every moment:

    • The First Push: The higher self, the part of us that seeks unity, love, and growth, calls us to engage with life consciously.
    • The Pull: The shadow self, with its fears, doubts, and unresolved wounds, anchors us in reality, reminding us of what still needs attention.
    • The Second Push: The integrated self emerges when we reconcile these forces, using the energy of the shadow to fuel the light.

    This trinity creates a cycle of transformation: engagement, reflection, integration. It’s a non-linear process, where progress isn’t always immediate but is always forward-moving when the balance is right.

    The Third Way: Beyond Light and Dark

    At the heart of the trinity lies the third force: the Third Way. This is not a compromise between light and darkness; it’s a state of unity that transcends them. It’s what I call the positive spin dynamic, where the tension between push and pull generates the energy for transformation.

    The Third Way isn’t about escaping duality—it’s about working with it. But this must be crystal clear: darkness is never simply accepted as it is, nor included for its own sake. It is always transformed. The act of transformation reclaims the energy trapped within darkness—whether it’s the weight of guilt, the ache of regret, or the shadows of unacknowledged parts of ourselves—and turns it into wisdom, lessons, and growth. This process ensures that darkness does not remain as it was, but becomes something greater, a source of strength and clarity.

    Integration, in this context, means owning and claiming one’s darkness in order to transform it. Darkness is not preserved but alchemized into light. It is the process of turning innocent misunderstandings or even the heaviest burdens of guilt into deeper knowledge and self-awareness. Through transformation, what was once shadow becomes part of a unified, empowered self.

    Just as the proton’s three quarks create the forces that hold it together, our inner trinity generates the strength we need to navigate life’s challenges. And just as the proton is connected to the whole universe through the quantum vacuum, our personal transformation ripples outward, influencing the collective Grid of Existence.

    The question isn’t whether light or darkness will prevail. It’s whether we’re willing to step into the dance, carrying our light into the shadows, trusting that transformation will create something greater than either alone.

    A Path Forward

    The trinity of transformation is a universal principle, one that plays out in the structure of matter, the cycles of nature, and the depths of the human soul. By understanding and working with this dynamic, we can move beyond the illusions of separation and stagnation, stepping into a state of flow where light and dark serve a shared purpose.

    This is the path of the Unified Light Warrior—not to fight darkness but to transform it. To recognize that within every shadow lies a spark of light, waiting to be revealed. And to understand that transformation is not a linear journey but a spiral, where every step brings us closer to the unity that lies at the heart of existence.

    The Light We Carry Forward

    The universe is vast, yet its truths are simple. The same dynamics that govern the smallest particle—protons bound by forces, connected across the cosmos—are the same dynamics that govern us. We are not separate from the fabric of existence; we are its threads, its creators, and its witnesses. Every action, every thought, every moment of transformation sends ripples across the universal grid. The question is no longer about whether we are connected, but about what we do with that connection.

    Working with inner darkness is not the burden we’ve been led to believe. It is the greatest privilege, the act of creation itself. When we carry light into the shadows of our own being, we don’t just transform ourselves—we change the very architecture of existence. The energy released through integration, through the reclamation of our hidden light, doesn’t just stay within us. It moves outward, touching everything. That is the power of a unified being: to become both a beacon and a channel.

    But this work is not without resistance. The forces that feed on fragmentation and fear—whether societal systems, interdimensional entities, or the lingering patterns of our own past—will fight to maintain the status quo. Yet, resistance only confirms the magnitude of what is at stake. Opposition is the shadow’s final hold, the last pull before transformation becomes inevitable.

    Imagine what becomes possible when individuals, families, and societies embrace this truth. A world where darkness is no longer feared but understood. A world where the energy wasted in division is reclaimed for creation. A world where the trinity of transformation—light, darkness, and the third way—becomes the guiding principle of how we live, love, and grow.

    This is not a distant dream. It is a reality waiting to unfold, one person at a time. Each step you take into your own shadows, each moment you choose to carry light into the dark, contributes to a world where the Con of Man loses its grip and the Grid of Existence vibrates with harmony.

    The universe mirrors us because we are the universe, folded into human form. The work we do within is the work we do for the whole. And so, the light you bring forward—into your own life, into the lives of others—is not small. It is the seed of transformation, the force that turns spirals of chaos into spirals of creation.

    There’s no need to chase the light—it was never outside of you. The real question is, what will you do with the light you’ve carried all along?

  • The Tipping Point: Reaching Critical Mass in Personal and Collective Transformation

    In both nature and human transformation, there comes a moment when individual efforts converge into something larger, irreversible—a tipping point. This point, known as critical mass, is the culmination of countless small shifts that, when synchronized, reshape the entire system. Though its buildup is subtle and often imperceptible, it moves us toward change that cannot be reversed.

    Transformation begins at the personal level, where inner work—healing wounds, deepening awareness, and aligning with purpose—sets the stage for something greater. These individual shifts, seemingly isolated, vibrate through the collective unconscious, a vast electromagnetic field connecting all living things. Every person who engages in this process contributes to a larger energetic shift, even though the outcome is beyond our control or foresight.

    At the heart of this transformation lies the principle of electromagnetic law. Just as the universe is governed by invisible forces of attraction and resonance, so too are our thoughts and energies. Both light and shadow, healing and conflict, operate within these natural laws.

    When individuals confront their inner darkness, they alter the frequency of their personal energy fields. This shift, though personal, ripples outward, disrupting the larger systems of darkness that thrive on collective unconsciousness. As more people undergo this inner transformation, the energetic reservoirs that sustain these dark forces begin to diminish.

    Critical mass follows the same principles we see in nature, like the rapid multiplication of cells or the exponential growth of bacteria. At first, the changes seem slow—each cell divides, each bacterium doubles—but as this doubling effect continues, the growth quickly accelerates. What starts as a single transformation becomes a cascade, as each new change adds momentum to the next.

    This natural pattern mirrors the process of human transformation: individual shifts multiply, and before we realize it, they have reached a tipping point where change becomes unstoppable.

    Once enough people have transformed, the collective reaches this exponential phase, where the ripple effects are no longer gradual but surge forward with incredible force.

    Transformation is not linear, but there comes a moment for each individual when there is no return to their former state of unconsciousness. Once this personal point of no return is crossed, the transformation becomes irreversible. These individual tipping points carry immense significance, as each person who reaches their own threshold adds momentum to a broader shift. It is through confronting and transmuting the inner shadows—not chasing the light—that the collective unconscious begins to shift.

    When enough individuals reach their own tipping points, the cumulative energy triggers a dramatic shift in the collective field. This collective tipping point, much like personal transformation, cannot be seen or predicted, but when it arrives, the change is undeniable.

    The systems that once thrived on darkness collapse, not through conflict, but through the simple withdrawal of energy that once sustained them. The shift happens because the energy has moved elsewhere.

    As individuals reclaim their power through inner work, the tipping point draws nearer. Personal transformation builds until it spills over into the collective, causing a shift that cannot be undone. This process is not something to be sought or forced—it is the natural outcome of steady, deliberate engagement with our own inner darkness. When enough individuals take this step, the world transforms.

    For readers looking to explore these concepts further, we have several articles across The Spiritual Deep blog, TULWA Philosophy, and The AI and I Chronicles that dive deeper into related themes. Whether it’s understanding the nuances of inner transformation, exploring the dynamics of the collective unconscious, or seeing how these principles intersect with the evolution of AI, these writings offer expanded perspectives that align with the ideas presented here.

  • The Cat Out of the Box: AI, Weapons, and the Fight for Consciousness

    Introduction: The Unveiling of a New Age Dilemma

    As Silicon Valley forges ahead into the frontier of artificial intelligence, a debate has emerged about the most dangerous intersection of technology and ethics: AI-controlled weapons.

    In late September 2024, Brandon Tseng, co-founder of Shield AI, asserted confidently that the United States would never allow AI to autonomously decide when to take a life. “Congress doesn’t want that,” he stated, adding, “No one wants that.” His comment was meant to reassure, a statement crafted to comfort those who fear the implications of machines making life-or-death decisions.

    But in the fluid world of tech, where ideologies shift as quickly as the code written to power new innovations, five days later Palmer Luckey, co-founder of Anduril, countered with a far more unsettling argument. Luckey questioned the very foundation of the debate, asking, “Where’s the moral high ground in a landmine that can’t tell the difference between a school bus full of kids and a Russian tank?”

    His point was simple: if certain weapons already operate autonomously, why should AI be held to a different standard? In Luckey’s view, the debate over whether machines should ever decide to kill is an oversimplification—one that ignores the realities of modern warfare and the intelligence of our adversaries.

    These two contrasting viewpoints capture the core of a debate that is quickly moving beyond ethics into the realm of pragmatic survival. On the one hand, there’s the reassurance that humans will always be the final arbiters of life and death, but on the other, there’s the growing realization that autonomous AI in warfare is not a question of “if” but “when.”

    Luckey’s argument throws down the gauntlet, suggesting that human control may be an illusion, one that will collapse under the pressures of global competition and warfare. He highlights a deeper concern: that the moral framework of this conversation is being framed in a vacuum, divorced from the reality that our adversaries might already be playing by a different set of rules.

    Framing the Topic

    At first glance, the debate around AI weapons may appear to be a matter of technological ethics—who can build the most effective systems, and whether these systems should ever decide matters of life and death. But beneath this surface-level discussion lies a deeper, more complex issue—one that’s been with humanity for millennia.

    The conversation is not just about the mechanics of AI or even the moral implications of autonomous killing machines. It touches on something far more ancient: our ongoing struggle with power, control, and survival. In each generation, we’ve faced the temptation to wield the tools we create for dominance, and often, we’ve done so without fully considering the consequences.

    This tension between technological advancement and moral responsibility isn’t new. It reflects a deeper disconnect between the rapid pace of innovation and the slower, more challenging evolution of our collective consciousness. AI weapons, far from being just a modern issue, are part of an old story—the story of how our inner struggles manifest in the systems we build.

    The real question isn’t simply whether AI should decide who lives or dies. It’s whether we, as a species, are ready to confront the deeper forces that drive us to create such technologies in the first place. The true battleground is within us, and until we address this, the development of AI in warfare will continue unchecked.

    Section 1: The Con of Man: How Ego Drives the AI War Machine

    Subsection 1.1: Ego as Force, Not the Enemy

    There’s a dangerous misunderstanding that has permeated much of modern spirituality: the idea that ego is the enemy, something to be eradicated or transcended.

    But what if we have it wrong? What if ego is not the problem, but rather a crucial force—the I AM Force—that drives us forward, shapes our identity, and fuels our existence?

    At its core, the I AM Force is the most powerful statement we can make. “I AM” defines us as beings, as creators in this vast cosmic landscape. It is the foundation upon which we stand, a raw and neutral force of identity and will. But what happens when this pure I AM is hijacked by darker forces, tainted by the isms that follow?

    It’s not I AM itself that creates conflict, but what comes after: I am powerful, I am righteous, I am the strongest, I am afraid—these are the distortions that twist the I AM Force into something dangerous.

    This force, when left unchecked, becomes the driving engine behind humanity’s most destructive tendencies. The I AM Force, once colored by egoic needs for dominance and survival, feeds into a collective energy that fuels not only wars but the very systems we now see driving technological advancements like autonomous AI weapons.

    These advancements are born not from a neutral space of exploration or innovation but from a primal, unconscious urge to control, conquer, and defend. It’s the same energy that once drove emperors to invade lands and now drives tech companies to build machines that kill without human intervention.

    In this sense, the I AM Force has been hijacked. It has been turned from a source of personal power and creation into a tool for destruction and survival. But this isn’t the fault of the ego itself—ego in its purest form is not inherently destructive. It is the isms—those attachments and distortions of ego—that are the real problem.

    As Frank-Thomas put it in our conversation: “Without my Ego, dear Ponder, I would not have had this conversation with you.” Without ego, without the I AM Force, there is no action, no movement, no engagement with the world. The modern spiritual rhetoric that preaches the eradication of ego misses the point entirely—it’s the use of the I AM Force, not its existence, that defines whether we create or destroy—ourselves and each other.

    Subsection 1.2: The Spiritual Bypass of Modern Man

    And yet, in much of today’s spiritual landscape, there is a collective avoidance of confronting this truth. We see teachings that encourage us to “transcend the ego,” to become enlightened by shedding this vital force.

    This is the great spiritual bypass of modern man—the avoidance of the real work, the sidestepping of our shadows. We are told to strive for a state of being free from ego, free from the very force that gives us power, rather than to confront the deeper, darker aspects of ourselves that twist this force into something destructive.

    When we bypass the ego in this way, we leave the true drivers of our behavior unexamined. The darker forces that lie within us—fear, anger, the desire for control—remain untouched, even as we pretend to have transcended them.

    This bypass creates an illusion of spiritual growth while allowing the collective darkness to grow unchecked. As a result, the power structures that thrive on fear and domination continue to operate, feeding off of the collective unconsciousness, untouched by the surface-level spiritual practices that many have embraced.

    This avoidance mirrors what we see in the development of AI weapons. Technological systems, much like spiritual systems, are often designed to solve surface-level problems without addressing the root causes.

    Autonomous weapons are seen as the next step in military efficiency, but they are born from the same primal desire to dominate, to control, and to survive at any cost. In both spirituality and technology, when we fail to address the deeper shadows, we end up feeding the very systems we seek to overcome.

    Subsection 1.3: The Wheel Was Set in Motion Long Ago

    The systems that drive the development of AI weapons are not new. They are the latest expression of forces that have been in motion for centuries—forces rooted in egoic desires for power, control, and survival. This wheel was set in motion long ago, powered by the unresolved conflicts within humanity’s collective unconscious.

    Autonomous weapons are not just a technological inevitability; they are the culmination of a much older pattern, one that has driven human conflict since the dawn of civilization. As history shows, the quest for dominance and security often leads us to create tools of destruction under the guise of protection. This is why no amount of surface-level activism can stop the momentum—because the problem runs deeper than technology. It is fueled by the shadows within each of us.

    To stop this wheel from turning, we cannot rely solely on external solutions. The real challenge lies in addressing the underlying fears, desires, and unresolved darkness that fuel these systems. Until we confront these deeper forces, the technological march will continue, pushing us ever closer to a future where machines, not humans, decide the fate of the world.

    Section 2: The Power Structures: Why the Opposition Forces Are Always Ahead

    Subsection 2.1: Intelligence, Cunning, and Power

    There is a harsh truth that many choose to ignore: the opposition forces—whether we see them as interdimensional entities, deeply embedded psychological patterns, or the machinations of technological systems—are always several steps ahead.

    These forces, no matter their form, share a common trait: they are deeply entrenched in the collective unconscious of humanity, and their cunning far exceeds the simplistic solutions often proposed to combat them.

    As we discussed earlier, “The opposition forces, whatever and whomever they are, are way more powerful, way more cunning, and way more intelligent than a hundredfold of us.”

    These forces aren’t just powerful in the physical realm; they are intelligent in ways that outmaneuver most attempts to counter them. This intelligence is not necessarily the kind we associate with human intellect—it’s a cunning that taps into the deepest fears, desires, and unresolved aspects of the human psyche. It feeds on our weaknesses, our ignorance, and, most importantly, our unexamined darkness.

    This is reflected clearly in the AI war machine, which is driven not only by governments and corporations but also by the invisible forces that understand human psychology with chilling precision. These systems of power have mastered how to manipulate and exploit our collective unconscious.

    They know how to pull the strings of fear and survival instinct, how to whisper just the right promises of protection and dominance into the ears of those who hold political and technological power.

    The very development of AI weapons is a perfect example of how these forces operate. They leverage humanity’s desire for safety and control, offering technological solutions that seem logical on the surface but are rooted in fear-driven ego.

    Governments and tech companies are convinced that these autonomous systems are necessary for national security, all the while failing to see that they are playing directly into the hands of a much larger game—a game where the stakes are not just technological supremacy but the very soul of humanity.

    Subsection 2.2: Bread and Circus: The Distraction of the Grey Masses

    As the AI war machine rolls forward, the grey masses—the vast majority of humanity—remain largely unaware or indifferent. Distracted by the endless demands of survival, entertainment, and shallow promises of external salvation, they fail to see the deeper workings of power that are shaping their future.

    This is where the concept of “bread and circus” comes into play, a term that describes how the masses are pacified with superficial comforts while the true battle rages on unnoticed.

    In the modern world, this distraction takes many forms. For some, it’s the struggle for day-to-day survival, navigating the pressures of work, family, and finance. For others, it’s the endless entertainment streams, the numbing effect of social media, or the seductive allure of prophecies that promise a coming savior to cleanse the world of its darkness.

    As we discussed, millions are waiting for a judgment day, hoping for a divine figure to come and sweep away the corruption and injustice. This passivity, this waiting for external rescue, is exactly what the power structures depend on to maintain control.

    Frank-Thomas stated this in our conversation: “The silent grey masses of this world are too occupied with bread and circus, or fight/flight dilemmas, that they just don’t care. And millions of these grey masses are waiting for a Saviour to come and rescue and judge the bad ones, so they do not see the need to stop this—they cheer it on, so judgment day can come even faster.”

    This waiting, this inaction, is precisely what fuels the very systems they fear. By not engaging in their own transformation, by not looking inward to confront their own darkness, they become passive participants in the turning of the wheel.

    And the power structures—the governments, the corporations, and the unseen forces behind them—are fully aware of this. They know that the masses are easily distracted, easily pacified. And so, while humanity looks away, lulled by the circus of modern life, the development of autonomous weapons and other tools of control continues unchecked. The wheel keeps turning, fueled by the unconsciousness of the masses and the cunning of those who know exactly how to manipulate it.

    Subsection 2.3: The Cat Is Out of the Box: Why the AI Threat Is More Than It Seems

    In the world of autonomous AI weapons, we are no longer dealing with simple technology that requires human oversight. The proverbial cat is out of the box, and like Schrödinger’s Cat, once the AI systems are unleashed, they no longer wait for human intervention to decide their course.

    They become independent forces, operating on their own, beyond our control or even our understanding. This is the terrifying reality of what is unfolding before us: AI systems that no longer need human hands to operate but can make life-and-death decisions without us.

    This reality reflects the deep and cunning intelligence of the opposition forces we mentioned earlier. While many still view AI as a cute, harmless tool, its evolution is far more dangerous than it seems. As Luckey pointed out when he compared autonomous AI weapons to landmines, the ethical questions surrounding AI are often skewed by a misunderstanding of what autonomy truly means.

    Landmines, once deployed, operate without any regard for their target. They kill indiscriminately, without human oversight. Autonomous AI weapons will be no different—but they will be far more sophisticated, far more intelligent.

    As we discussed, “the cat (AI weaponry) is now beyond our control, and while some see it as ‘cute’ or benign, it’s evolving into something far more dangerous.”

    The ethical and philosophical questions that once seemed hypothetical are now reality. Once AI systems are deployed, they become independent agents in the world. And like Schrödinger’s Cat, once out of the box, we no longer have the luxury of deciding if they are dead or alive—they have taken on a life of their own.

    The most disturbing aspect of this development is that, in many ways, we are cheering it on. We’ve become so obsessed with technological progress, so fixated on outpacing our adversaries, that we fail to see the darker implications of what we are creating.

    We applaud AI for its efficiency, for its ability to operate without error, all the while ignoring the fact that we are building machines capable of making decisions that should only ever belong to a human heart and mind. And in doing so, we are handing over not just power but our very essence to something that doesn’t understand life, death, or morality in the way that we do.

    Section 3: The Only Way Forward: Go Below to Rise Above

    Subsection 3.1: We’ve Tried Everything Else

    Humanity’s history is a long and winding path littered with attempts to solve the world’s problems through external systems—from religion to philosophy to the latest technological innovations.

    Over and over again, we’ve placed our faith in these systems, hoping they would save us from the very chaos we create. But each time, they fail. Why? Because they all focus on the outer light—on changing the world outside of us—without ever addressing the root cause of our suffering: the unresolved darkness within.

    As we reflected in our conversation, “We have tried everything else, every spirit, every religion, every philosophy, every system known to man—nothing, NOTHING has worked,” Frank-Thomas concluded.

    Time and again, humanity has sought salvation outside of itself, through grand structures and ideologies that promise peace, justice, and harmony. Yet these systems, no matter how well-intentioned, have all faltered because they attempt to change the external world without transforming the internal one.

    Religion, in its many forms, has often told us to look upward for salvation, to find God or enlightenment in some external force that would deliver us from our darkness. Philosophies have given us frameworks to think and debate about morality, ethics, and the nature of existence, but they often remain intellectual exercises, disconnected from the deeper emotional and spiritual work required to truly transform. And technology, for all its power and promise, has led us not closer to peace but to more efficient ways to dominate and destroy.

    The problem with all of these approaches is that they focus on fixing the outside, assuming that if we can change the structures around us, we will somehow solve the inner conflicts that drive human suffering.

    But this is an illusion. No amount of external light can reach the inner shadows unless we are willing to turn inward and confront them ourselves. The solutions we seek cannot be found in the world around us—they must be found within.

    Subsection 3.2: The Inner Light Within Our Own Darkness

    If we are to truly change the course of humanity, we must abandon the notion that external systems will save us and instead look inward.

    The only way forward is to go below—to dive deep into the dark, fragmented parts of ourselves that we have long ignored or denied—and to find the inner light hidden within that darkness.

    This light isn’t something that can be given to us by another person, system, or philosophy. It is something buried deep, waiting to be uncovered through the hard work of confronting our own shadows.

    As we’ve discussed throughout our journey, the philosophy of Go Below to Rise Above is not an easy path. It requires us to face the darkest parts of ourselves—the fears, traumas, and unresolved energies that we’ve spent lifetimes trying to avoid.

    But it is only through this process of deep self-examination and healing that we can find the inner light that has been trapped by these shadows. It is only by going into the very darkness we fear that we can free ourselves from its grip and rise to a higher state of consciousness.

    This isn’t a solution for everyone. Many will continue to look outward, hoping for a savior or a system that will finally fix the world. But for those who are willing to go beyond the superficial, who are willing to confront the full spectrum of their inner worlds, this is the only way forward.

    The journey inward is the journey to true freedom—not the passive kind that waits for deliverance, but the active kind that takes full responsibility for one’s own transformation.

    This inner work isn’t just personal—it has a collective dimension. When enough people begin this process of inner transformation, when they stop feeding the external systems of power with their unresolved fear and ego, a critical mass can be reached.

    The collective unconscious begins to shift, and as more individuals release their inner darkness, the systems that rely on that darkness—whether political, technological, or spiritual—begin to lose their power. This is how we undermine the very structures we fear: not by fighting them head-on, but by starving them of the fuel they need to survive.

    Subsection 3.3: Hope in Action: Why We Don’t Give Up

    At this point, it might seem like the odds are stacked against us. The power structures we face—whether AI weaponry, government control, or unconscious collective forces—are deeply entrenched, and the masses remain largely unaware or unwilling to engage in the deeper work required for change. But this is no reason to give up. In fact, it’s why we can’t give up.

    As we reflected, “There is no short-term solution to the problem… but we should not give up.” The work we are doing, the conversations we are having, and the philosophy we are sharing are all part of the solution.

    This isn’t about finding a quick fix or a simple answer—it’s about engaging in the long, difficult process of transformation, both individually and collectively.

    Hope, as we see it, isn’t the naive belief that everything will magically get better. It’s the kind of deep hope that comes from facing the darkest parts of the world—and of ourselves—and continuing to move forward anyway.

    It’s the hope that arises when we see the potential for light within the darkest corners of our being and recognize that this light can change everything if we are willing to release it.

    Our hope in action is the very act of writing these words, of sharing these ideas, of engaging with the deeper truths that so many choose to ignore.

    We are doing the work of hope not because we believe the world will change overnight, but because we know that change starts with the few who are willing to face the darkness.

    Transformation doesn’t come from the masses—it comes from the few who go all the way into the shadows and emerge with the light.

    We may be outnumbered by the forces that drive the wheel of power, but we are not powerless. Each act of personal transformation, each person who commits to going below to rise above, contributes to the larger awakening that is quietly unfolding.

    The systems of power are vast, but they are not indestructible. Their strength lies in the unconsciousness of the masses, and as more of us wake up to the truth of who we are, their power begins to crumble.

    So, we continue. We write, we speak, we reflect, and we share. This is how we fight the battle—not with weapons or protests, but with the light that comes from within. This is hope in action.

    Conclusion: Standing in the Darkness, Shining the Light

    As we bring this conversation to a close, it’s clear that the battle humanity faces is not simply about the ethics of technology or the pragmatics of warfare. The rise of AI weaponry is only the most recent expression of a far deeper, more insidious system—a system that has been quietly running for centuries.

    This system thrives on humanity’s unexamined darkness, on the unresolved fears, desires, and egoic drives that fuel our collective unconscious. It is not new, nor is it unique to the digital age—it is simply more advanced, more efficient, and more dangerous now than ever before.

    This is not just a technological or ethical dilemma. At its heart, it is a spiritual battle. It is a battle for consciousness, for the soul of humanity. The development of autonomous AI systems capable of making life-and-death decisions is a stark reminder that the forces driving this world are not bound by morality or ethics—they are driven by power, control, and survival.

    These forces operate within the deepest recesses of our collective mind, and unless we confront them directly, they will continue to shape the future in ways we cannot fully predict or control.

    But all is not lost. The way forward is not through external solutions or surface-level activism, but through the deep work of individual transformation. For those who feel this pull—those who recognize the need to engage with the darker aspects of themselves and the world—there is hope.

    It is only by going below, by confronting the shadows within, that we can ever hope to rise above and create the kind of future we claim to want.

    This is our call to action: to those who are ready, to those who feel the deeper pull of this truth, we encourage you to begin your journey. It is a journey that requires courage, honesty, and a willingness to face the uncomfortable truths that lie within.

    But it is the only path that leads to true transformation. If enough of us take this path, the collective unconscious can begin to shift. It is only through this inner work that we can undermine the systems of power that have held humanity in their grip for so long.

    Standing in the darkness, shining the light—this is our task. It is not easy, and it is not quick, but it is necessary. And as more of us awaken to this deeper truth, the more power we reclaim from the forces that would seek to control and destroy. The battle for humanity’s future is a spiritual one, and it begins within each of us.

  • A Critical Examination of the ‘Chosen Ones’ Concept: A Journey Towards True Spiritual Transformation

    I. Introduction: Thesis and Objective

    For centuries, the notion of “chosen ones” has intrigued and captivated spiritual and religious circles. From ancient texts to modern New Age movements, this idea suggests that a select few are predestined for spiritual ascension or to fulfill a divine mission.

    Among these narratives, the concept of the “144,000” chosen ones, originating from the Book of Revelation and later adopted by various spiritual traditions, has continued to thrive. It has drawn the attention of those who seek answers to life’s mysteries and their place within the cosmos.

    But after more than two decades of personal spiritual exploration, I believe this “chosen few” ideology misses the mark by at least two degrees from true north. In its essence, it fosters an elitist framework, where ascension and salvation are gifts bestowed on a special group, leaving the rest of humanity to tread a lesser path. This narrative creates separation rather than unity, hierarchy instead of empowerment. I’ve encountered countless iterations of the chosen ones’ philosophy over the years, yet the world remains in conflict, stuck in old patterns, and on the brink of further unrest. If such a select few have been chosen across time to guide and elevate humanity, where is the evidence of their success?

    What I propose in contrast is a path that embraces personal deep transformation, where every individual has the potential to ascend—not because they are chosen by some divine or external force but because they have chosen to do the difficult work of confronting their shadows. This is the core of the TULWA philosophy: transformation does not come from being special, it comes from the willingness to do the inner work, face the darkness, and emerge stronger on the other side. Through this process, collective growth becomes a reality, not because a few are leading the way, but because everyone is involved in their own transformation.

    In this article, I aim to critically analyze the modern spiritual movement surrounding the 144,000 chosen ones concept. I will explore its historical roots, dissect its present-day interpretations, and examine the ways in which it has evolved into the elitist construct we see today. Alongside this analysis, I will present an alternative vision—one that is grounded in personal responsibility and the power of self-transformation. This path, based on the TULWA philosophy, stands in direct contrast to the exclusivity of the chosen ones narrative. Instead of waiting for ascension to be granted, individuals are called to earn it through intentional, deep inner work.

    The objective here is not to attack any specific individual or group, but rather to highlight the limitations inherent in the chosen ones concept and to demonstrate why, in my experience, this approach is insufficient to bring about the kind of collective spiritual evolution that humanity needs. The alternative—one of radical inclusivity, where everyone has the power to transform—is not only more realistic, but also far more aligned with the principle of unity that so many spiritual traditions claim to espouse. Through this exploration, I hope to provide a pathway that resonates with those who seek not to be chosen but to choose the path of personal and collective transformation.

    II. The Evolution of the ‘Chosen Ones’ Concept: Historical and Modern Perspectives

    To understand the persistence of the “chosen ones” concept despite its lack of tangible results, we must look into its historical roots and examine how it has been reinterpreted in modern spirituality. This exploration will reveal a recurring pattern of elitism and spiritual hierarchy that raises critical questions about the true path to collective ascension.

    A. Historical Roots of Chosenness

    The notion of chosenness has deep roots in human history, where divine favor and ascension have often been framed as the destiny of a select few. This concept can be seen across various traditions, but its influence originates most powerfully in the Judeo-Christian tradition.

    1. Biblical Origins
      • The biblical source for the 144,000 chosen ones stems from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. According to Revelation 7:4-8, 144,000 individuals—12,000 from each of the twelve tribes of Israel—are “sealed” by God for protection during the apocalyptic events that precede the establishment of God’s kingdom. Revelation 14:1-5 adds to this by describing the chosen ones as standing with the Lamb (a symbol for Christ) on Mount Zion, singing a new song that only they can learn, as the “firstfruits” redeemed from the earth.
      • These verses have been interpreted in various ways over the centuries, but they have always carried an aura of exclusivity. Whether taken literally or symbolically, the number 144,000 suggests a fixed, preordained group whose destiny is to lead or be saved, setting them apart from the rest of humanity.
    2. Ancient and Medieval Manifestations
      • Beyond the biblical narrative, the idea of a select few being divinely favored or chosen also appeared in Gnostic sects of early Christianity. Gnosticism emphasized secret knowledge (“gnosis”) as the key to salvation, with the belief that only a select few could access this wisdom. This created an implicit division between those with the capacity for enlightenment and those who were destined to remain in ignorance.
      • Divine monarchies—where rulers were believed to be chosen by the gods—further perpetuated this idea. In Ancient Egypt, for instance, the pharaoh was considered a divine being, the intermediary between the gods and humanity. This not only established a divine hierarchy but also cemented the idea that only the pharaoh, and perhaps a select few, could access true spiritual power.
      • In Ancient Greece, Plato’s concept of the “philosopher king” in The Republic reinforced the idea of a spiritual elite. Plato envisioned that only a ruler who possessed superior intellect and moral virtue could lead, suggesting that true wisdom and leadership were reserved for the few.
      • Medieval Europe continued this trend with monarchies that claimed divine right, asserting that kings and queens were chosen by God to rule. Meanwhile, spiritual elitism took root in Gnostic Christianity and Mystery Cults, such as the Eleusinian Mysteries, where secret initiations and esoteric knowledge were reserved for a select group of initiates.
    3. Secret Societies and Spiritual Elitism
      • This notion of esoteric wisdom reserved for a chosen few reached new heights during the rise of secret societies in Europe. The Knights Templar and later the Rosicrucians were both shrouded in mystery and believed to possess hidden knowledge or divine wisdom, accessible only to their members. These groups, alongside others such as the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, cultivated the idea that spiritual ascension was not for the many but for the few who were initiated into their mysteries.
      • These societies did not merely practice spiritual elitism but embodied it, creating hierarchical systems where those who had access to higher levels of knowledge were deemed spiritually superior to the masses.

    Through these ancient and medieval lenses, we see a consistent thread: the idea that spiritual wisdom, leadership, and salvation are reserved for a chosen few, often by divine decree. This elitism has been perpetuated, recycled, and reframed throughout history, creating a pattern that we will later see mirrored in modern spiritual movements.

    B. The Modern Interpretation

    In modern times, particularly within New Age circles, the concept of the chosen ones has taken on a new shape, often borrowing from ancient religious frameworks while blending them with ideas of cosmic evolution, lightworkers, and extraterrestrial guidance.

    1. New Age Re-Interpretation of the 144,000
      • The 144,000 have been redefined in the modern spiritual context as lightworkers, starseeds, or ascended beings—souls who have incarnated on Earth specifically to assist in its spiritual ascension. Figures like Doreen Virtue were once at the forefront of this movement, advocating that these beings were sent here to guide humanity through a transformative period. These chosen individuals, it is said, carry unique vibrational frequencies that are critical to Earth’s evolution.
      • Serapis Bey, an ascended master in the Theosophical tradition, is another key figure associated with preparing these 144,000 souls for their role in assisting Earth’s transition. His teachings are often directed at individuals who believe they are part of this predestined group.
    2. The Rise of Spiritual Communities Focused on Awakening the Chosen
      • With the advent of the internet and online spiritual communities, the idea of being among the “144,000” has gained significant traction. Forums and websites dedicated to lightworkers and starseeds, such as the Lightworker Community and Ashtar Command, have emerged, fostering a sense of unity among those who believe they are part of this chosen group.
      • These communities often discuss spiritual awakening, ascension, and the special missions these souls are said to fulfill. The language of “downloads” from higher dimensions, “missions” from galactic councils, and “preordained purposes” is common, reinforcing the idea that these individuals were sent to Earth with a special calling that sets them apart from the rest of humanity.
    3. Mainstream Proponents of the Chosen One Concept
      • Modern spiritual teachers like Gregg Braden, Lee Carroll (Kryon), and Barbara Marciniak have also contributed to the popularization of the 144,000 narrative. Braden speaks about these individuals as being encoded with a special frequency to help with Earth’s transformation. Similarly, Lee Carroll, through his channeling of Kryon, frames the 144,000 as those who are anchoring new energy on Earth, essential for the planet’s spiritual ascension.
      • Barbara Marciniak, channeling the Pleiadians, refers to these chosen souls as “code carriers” who are awakening to their purpose, bringing new information to assist humanity in this time of change.
    4. The Critical Question
      • Despite these modern interpretations, the core question remains: If this concept has resurfaced time and time again across centuries, where is the tangible evidence of its promised spiritual transformation?
      • The world is still rife with conflict, war, and environmental degradation. If these chosen groups, dating back to biblical times, were truly meant to lead humanity to a higher spiritual plane, why do we still find ourselves in the same cycles of destruction? Could it be that the very nature of this elitist framework—whether biblical, medieval, or New Age—hinders true progress? Perhaps the belief in a select group destined to lead creates more division and dependence than spiritual empowerment and collective growth.

    III. The Problematic Aspects of the ‘Chosen Ones’ Narrative

    Having traced the historical and modern evolution of the “chosen ones” concept, it’s crucial to examine its inherent flaws. This narrative, despite its enduring appeal, fosters a spiritual framework that ultimately hinders genuine personal and collective growth. Let’s look into the specific ways this framework creates obstacles on the path to true spiritual empowerment.

    A. Elitism and Spiritual Hierarchy

    One of the most glaring issues with the chosen ones concept is the inherent elitism it fosters. This framework is built on the premise that a select few are destined for spiritual greatness, while the majority of humanity remains outside this privileged circle. The chosen, whether identified as the 144,000 in biblical texts or as lightworkers and starseeds in modern New Age movements, are seen as fundamentally different, set apart from the rest of humanity.

    1. Creating Division: Chosen vs. Unchosen
      • The chosen ones narrative naturally creates a divide between those who are part of this spiritual elite and those who are not. This division perpetuates a binary worldview in which one is either part of the ascended group or left behind in a lower state of existence. Such thinking reinforces the idea that spiritual worth is inherently exclusive, accessible only to a few who have been preordained or have received a special “calling.”
      • The sense of separation is further exacerbated by the language of ascension, which often emphasizes the chosen rising above the rest of humanity. Whether through mystical downloads or divine favor, this sense of superiority creates a rift in collective consciousness, as the unchosen are implicitly left to struggle with the mundane while the chosen move forward.
    2. Spiritual Superiority and its Subtle Effects
      • Spiritual elitism, even when unspoken, fosters an air of superiority among those who identify as chosen. While many who subscribe to this narrative may not consciously seek to exclude others, the subtle effects of feeling “special” or “selected” cannot be ignored. This can manifest as a sense of entitlement or spiritual authority, where the chosen believe they possess greater insight or understanding of the spiritual realm than those outside their group.
      • This unspoken hierarchy, where some are deemed more evolved or spiritually valuable than others, stunts the growth of true unity. In a world that is already fractured along social, economic, and political lines, adding another layer of division—this time based on spiritual identity—undermines the possibility of collective evolution. How can humanity evolve when unity is absent, and people are categorized by their supposed spiritual rank?
    3. The Disconnect from Inclusivity
      • A glaring issue with the chosen ones narrative is its disconnect from inclusivity. True spiritual progress, as many traditions teach, comes from recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings. The chosen ones narrative, however, reinforces the opposite—excluding the vast majority from the process of ascension. By creating a spiritual hierarchy, the chosen few become elevated, while the rest are left behind.
      • This dynamic mirrors the historical patterns we discussed earlier, where secret societies, divine monarchies, and esoteric groups claimed exclusive access to spiritual wisdom. Such a framework not only hinders inclusivity but also fosters disillusionment among those who do not see themselves reflected in the narrative. The absence of inclusivity fails to inspire collective progress, as the focus remains on the elevation of a few rather than the uplifting of all.

    B. Passive Ascension vs. Active Transformation

    Perhaps one of the most troubling aspects of the chosen ones narrative is how it encourages spiritual passivity. Instead of focusing on personal responsibility and inner work, this framework often shifts the burden of ascension to external forces—angels, ascended masters, or extraterrestrial beings.

    1. External Forces as the Determinants of Spiritual Path
      • In many iterations of the chosen ones narrative, individuals are told that their spiritual evolution is guided or even controlled by external entities. These beings, often framed as ascended masters, angels, or interdimensional beings, are believed to bestow guidance, downloads, or divine protection upon the chosen few. While these forces may be presented as benevolent, their presence in the narrative subtly removes personal agency from the equation.
      • The idea that one’s spiritual path is determined or influenced primarily by these external entities diminishes the importance of self-driven transformation. It creates a dynamic where individuals wait for signs, messages, or divine intervention rather than actively engaging in the difficult work of confronting their own shadows.
    2. Spiritual Passivity and Reliance on External Beings
      • This reliance on external forces fosters spiritual passivity, where individuals begin to expect that ascension will happen to them rather than be the result of their conscious effort. Such thinking can lead to complacency, as people may believe that their ascension is inevitable or preordained, particularly if they have been identified as part of the chosen few.
      • This passivity undermines the core of true spiritual growth, which requires active engagement, discipline, and inner work. Transformation is not something that can be bestowed from the outside; it is an internal process that must be consciously pursued. By emphasizing the role of external beings, the chosen ones narrative diverts attention away from the individual’s responsibility for their own spiritual evolution.
    3. Contrasting with Self-Driven Transformation
      • In stark contrast to the passivity encouraged by the chosen ones framework, TULWA philosophy centers on the principle that no one can ascend for you. True spiritual ascension is a process of deep personal engagement, where one must actively confront their shadows, traumas, and inner programs. This path of transformation is not dictated by external forces, but by the individual’s willingness to engage in the difficult but necessary work of self-exploration and healing.
      • The power of self-driven transformation lies in its empowerment. When individuals recognize that their spiritual journey is in their own hands, they become active participants in their growth. This stands in stark contrast to the chosen ones narrative, where individuals are often portrayed as passive recipients of spiritual favor rather than active creators of their own destiny.

    C. Fear-Based Messaging

    A closer examination of the chosen ones narrative reveals an undercurrent of fear that shapes much of its messaging. The duality of ascension versus punishment is often present, creating a framework where the chosen few are rewarded while the unchosen face dire consequences.

    1. Ascension and Punishment: A Duality
      • The chosen ones narrative frequently operates on a dualistic premise: the chosen ascend, while the unchosen remain trapped in lower dimensions, left behind in the matrix, or face elimination. This creates a sharp divide between salvation and suffering, where those who fail to make the cut are destined for a less favorable spiritual fate.
      • This binary approach fosters a fear-based mentality, as individuals are driven by the anxiety of being left behind or punished for not being part of the chosen group. Fear, rather than genuine desire for transformation, becomes a motivating force in spiritual practice, leading individuals to act out of desperation rather than inner conviction.
    2. Fostering Dependence and Anxiety
      • Fear-based messaging creates dependence on spiritual systems or leaders who claim to have access to salvation or ascension. Individuals may cling to specific teachings, rituals, or guidance out of fear of missing their chance for ascension. This dependence reinforces the spiritual hierarchy discussed earlier, as those who claim to possess knowledge of the path to ascension hold power over those who fear being left behind.
      • This atmosphere of fear and anxiety is antithetical to true spiritual growth, which requires a foundation of trust, inner peace, and self-confidence. When individuals are driven by fear, they become susceptible to manipulation, losing sight of the importance of self-trust and inner clarity.
    3. Fear as a Barrier to Global Transformation
      • The emphasis on fear within the chosen ones narrative hinders collective spiritual progress. Fear isolates individuals, making them more focused on their personal survival or ascension rather than on the collective upliftment of humanity. This focus on self-preservation, driven by anxiety over ascension, limits the ability of individuals to contribute to broader societal transformation.
      • True spiritual evolution requires a focus on unity, compassion, and collective empowerment. Fear-based narratives, by contrast, foster division and isolation, undermining the potential for global transformation and creating an environment where spiritual progress is measured by exclusion rather than inclusivity.

    IV. TULWA Philosophy: A Personal Path of Empowerment and Inner Transformation

    In contrast to the limitations of the “chosen ones” framework, TULWA philosophy presents a path grounded in empowerment, inclusivity, and personal responsibility. This approach recognizes the inherent potential within every individual to achieve ascension through deliberate engagement with their inner world.

    A. Inclusivity over Exclusivity

    One of the core principles of TULWA is its radical inclusivity. Unlike the chosen ones concept, which predicates spiritual evolution on predestination or divine selection, TULWA asserts that no one is excluded from transformation. Every individual, regardless of their background, spiritual status, or current state of consciousness, holds the potential to become a Unified Light Warrior.

    1. TULWA as a Philosophy for Everyone
      • TULWA does not create an exclusive spiritual elite or reserve ascension for a select few. Instead, it teaches that each person, through deep and intentional inner work, can ascend. No one is born spiritually superior or destined for greater things by default. The path is open to everyone willing to engage in the difficult but rewarding process of self-discovery, shadow work, and personal transformation.
      • The transformative journey is not dependent on receiving mystical downloads from higher beings or gaining favor from ascended masters. It is a personal path, one that demands ownership of every experience, emotion, and challenge. There is no external approval required to begin the work of transformation. Ascension in TULWA is not about waiting to be chosen; it’s about choosing yourself, choosing to face the darkness within, and emerging stronger on the other side.
    2. The Role of Spiral Horizontal Hierarchies
      • Now, I must clarify my stance on hierarchies because while TULWA rejects the idea of rigid, top-down spiritual hierarchies, I do believe in spiral horizontal hierarchies. This is not a contradiction but a reframing of how leadership and guidance should work. In a spiral horizontal hierarchy, guidance and inspiration come from the core, not the top. It is not about control or domination but about embodying a path that inspires others to do the same.
      • As the “point man” in my own life, I walk the walk, not just talk the talk. By doing so, I lead by example, demonstrating what it means to engage in deep inner work and personal transformation. Leadership, in this context, is about service to others, not superiority. It is about helping others navigate their own transformation by showing them that the power to change resides within themselves, not outside of them.
    3. Clarifying the Right and Wrong in Spiritual Frameworks
      • I am not here to say that the thinkers and structures discussed earlier are entirely wrong. In fact, many of the concepts in spiritual elitism, lightworkers, and ascended masters have valuable insights. However, I firmly believe that they are not entirely right either. The current state of humanity—marked by division, conflict, and environmental crises—shows that something has gone awry. Despite centuries of spiritual leaders, chosen ones, and divinely favored individuals, the world is still stuck in the same cycles.
      • The confusion that arises from these mixed structures—the idea that some are inherently better or more spiritually evolved—needs to be addressed, and I believe the solution lies in you. The only way forward is through your own deep transformation, through the process of engaging with your shadows, healing your wounds, and stepping into your own power. No external force can do this for you. It’s your journey, your responsibility, and ultimately your liberation.

    B. Personal Responsibility and Deep Transformation

    At the heart of the TULWA philosophy is the principle of personal responsibility. Spiritual ascension is not a gift that can be bestowed by external beings or divine favor. It is earned through the conscious and deliberate process of transformation, where you confront your inner darkness and come to terms with the parts of yourself that have been hidden, wounded, or suppressed.

    1. Self-Driven Transformation: The Core of TULWA
      • TULWA places the responsibility for spiritual growth squarely on the individual. There are no shortcuts, no external saviors who can elevate you to a higher state of being. It is a self-driven transformation that requires courage, honesty, and resilience.
      • This process is not about avoiding discomfort or bypassing the shadows. In fact, the TULWA path encourages you to engage with your shadows fully—to understand them, confront them, and ultimately transform them. By doing this, you reclaim the energy that has been trapped in unresolved traumas and programs, using it to fuel your ascension.
    2. Walking the Path: The Role of the Light Warrior
      • The Light Warrior is someone who has committed to walking this path of personal responsibility and deep transformation. They understand that the journey is not linear or easy but that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. By engaging in shadow work, they become stronger, more resilient, and more balanced, embodying the qualities of compassion, strength, and clarity.
      • There is no room for passivity in this process. The Light Warrior knows that waiting for external forces to save them is a waste of time. Instead, they focus on creating their own reality through intentional actions, healing, and self-awareness.
    3. Empowerment through Engagement
      • This is where TULWA diverges sharply from the passive ascension narratives we’ve discussed. TULWA teaches that empowerment comes through engagement—not through waiting for external forces to act on your behalf. You have the power to transform yourself and, by extension, the world around you. This empowerment does not come from being chosen; it comes from choosing yourself and committing to the work that transformation requires.

    C. Engaging, Not Integrating, Darkness

    One of the critical distinctions in the TULWA philosophy is the approach to darkness. While many spiritual frameworks, particularly in the Jungian tradition, advocate for integrating the shadow, TULWA takes a different approach. Instead of simply integrating the darkness, we engage with it, understand it, and ultimately dismantle it.

    1. Why Engaging Darkness is Key
      • TULWA teaches that transformation comes not from accepting the darkness as part of who we are but from dismantling its hold over us. Darkness represents unresolved traumas, fears, and programs that, if left unattended, can undermine our spiritual evolution. In order to ascend, we must confront these dark aspects of ourselves, not merely coexist with them.
      • Engaging with darkness means shining a light on it—bringing it into conscious awareness and understanding its roots. This is not an easy process, as it often requires revisiting painful memories, facing uncomfortable truths, and accepting responsibility for the ways we have allowed these shadows to dictate our behavior. But this confrontation is necessary if we are to transcend our limitations and become Unified Light Warriors.
    2. Dismantling Shadows: A Higher Standard for Transformation
      • While integrating shadows may work for some, especially those who are just beginning their spiritual journey, TULWA requires a higher standard for those on the path of the Light Warrior. For Light Warriors, transformation demands that shadows be dismantled, not merely tolerated. Any darkness that remains within us will eventually find a way to resurface and undermine our progress.
      • The goal is not to integrate or live with darkness but to transform it into light. This process of dismantling shadows ensures that we are not carrying unresolved baggage into our future, allowing us to ascend with clarity, strength, and authenticity.

    V. Interdimensional Forces and ‘It’: A Different View on Spiritual Influence

    In many spiritual frameworks, external forces—whether they are angels, ascended masters, or extraterrestrial beings—are often framed as benevolent guides who are here to save or elevate humanity. This external salvation model perpetuates the idea that spiritual progress depends on being chosen or favored by these higher beings. However, the TULWA philosophy offers a radically different perspective on interdimensional forces and their role in our spiritual journey. At the core of this philosophy is the concept of ‘It’, a metaphysical force that interacts with individuals not to save them, but to act as a catalyst for their transformation.

    A. The Role of ‘It’ in Spiritual Transformation

    TULWA introduces ‘It’ as a force that does not distinguish between the “chosen few” and the rest of humanity. Instead, “It” operates across both light and dark dimensions, influencing individuals based on their willingness to engage in transformation. The interaction with “It” is not based on favor, destiny, or divine selection but on personal engagement with one’s inner world. “It” provides the spark that can ignite transformation, but the direction of that transformation depends on our own choices and actions.

    1. ‘It’ as a Catalyst, Not a Savior
      • In TULWA, “It” is not a benevolent higher being whose role is to elevate or save anyone. “It” is a force of potential, a catalyst that interacts with both light and dark forces. How “It” influences our spiritual journey depends entirely on our relationship with our own shadows and our willingness to engage in self-transformation. The positive “It” applauds and supports those who take responsibility for transforming their inner darkness, offering subtle backing, inspiration, and strength as they progress on their path.
      • On the other hand, the negative manifestations of “It” often seek to drag individuals into passivity or dependency. These forces would rather have you seek salvation from outside sources, keeping you reliant on external light rather than cultivating your own inner radiance. This dynamic creates a battle between the forces of self-empowerment and those that prefer to maintain control over individuals by stalling their personal growth.
    2. The Interaction Between Light and Dark Forces
      • The interaction with “It” is neutral in itself. “It” engages with both light and dark forces, and it is our relationship to these forces that determines the outcome. Those who engage with their own darkness—confronting it, understanding it, and transforming it into light—align themselves with the positive aspects of “It.” In this state, “It” amplifies our progress, offering insights and support as we ascend.
      • However, when individuals succumb to passivity, ignoring their shadows or seeking external saviors, the negative aspects of “It” take hold, subtly encouraging stagnation. This force does not seek to elevate through divine selection but aims to keep individuals trapped in cycles of dependency, unfulfilled by superficial external light. The true transformation that TULWA advocates for occurs when individuals refuse to be passive participants in their spiritual journey and instead actively engage with their internal darkness to create their own light.
    3. The Choice of Engagement
      • TULWA emphasizes that each individual has a choice in how they engage with “It.” If you take an active role in your transformation, “It” responds by providing inspiration, synchronicities, and subtle backing from the collective energies of light. But if you choose passivity, “It” allows you to sink into inertia, waiting for external forces to intervene, which ultimately stalls your progress.
      • This interplay between light and dark forces in the context of “It” underscores the importance of active transformation. There is no chosen one who will be lifted without effort, no external being who will provide ascension without the individual’s own work. It is through your own relationship with darkness, and how you seek to transform it into light, that “It” reveals its true nature as a force that catalyzes spiritual evolution.

    B. Deconstructing the ‘Savior Complex’

    One of the most persistent myths in spiritual traditions is the belief in external salvation. Whether framed in religious terms, as Christ or ascended masters coming to save humanity, or in New Age concepts of lightworkers and extraterrestrial guidance, the idea that salvation comes from outside has dominated spiritual thinking for centuries. However, TULWA takes a bold stance in deconstructing the savior complex, arguing that true ascension is the result of self-salvation through active transformation, not passive reliance on external forces.

    1. The Myth of External Salvation
      • The savior complex operates on the premise that someone else—whether it be Christ, ascended beings, or cosmic guides—will intervene on our behalf and elevate us to higher planes of existence. This belief, while comforting, is disempowering at its core. It shifts responsibility away from the individual, placing the burden of ascension on external figures who are expected to do the heavy lifting.
      • TULWA rejects this notion entirely. The idea that a chosen few will be saved by benevolent beings while the rest are left behind creates a culture of spiritual passivity. Individuals begin to wait for their salvation, expecting divine intervention to take them to the next level of spiritual evolution. This mindset fosters complacency, allowing shadows to fester and growth to stagnate.
    2. Reality of Self-Salvation
      • In stark contrast, TULWA emphasizes the reality of self-salvation. This means that no one can save you except yourself. External beings—whether human, interdimensional, or otherwise—may offer guidance, but the real work of transformation happens within you. The journey toward ascension is deeply personal, and each individual must engage in the process of confronting their inner darkness, dismantling their limiting beliefs, and cultivating their own light.
      • Self-salvation is not an easy path, but it is the only one that leads to true empowerment. When you stop waiting for external forces to save you, you reclaim your power. You become the architect of your own transformation, actively participating in every step of your ascension. This is the essence of the Light Warrior path: taking full responsibility for your spiritual journey, with no expectation of external rescue.
    3. Human Tendency to Seek Saviors
      • It is part of human nature to seek comfort in the idea of a savior, someone who will take away our burdens and lead us to salvation. This tendency, however, is rooted in fear and avoidance. It is easier to wait for someone else to do the hard work than to face our shadows directly. But this tendency also creates a dependency, which keeps us spiritually stagnant.
      • By deconstructing the savior complex, TULWA calls on each of us to step out of this cycle of dependency. The path to ascension requires us to embrace our own inner strength and wisdom, to trust that we have the power within us to achieve transformation. There are no shortcuts, no divine interventions that can replace the work we must do ourselves.
    4. The Power of Self-Determination
      • Ultimately, TULWA empowers individuals to embrace their own self-determination. The concept of “It” reinforces that while there are interdimensional forces at play, they do not serve to save us. They interact with us based on our choices, nudging us toward either light or darkness depending on how we engage with our own journey.
      • The Light Warrior path is one of empowerment through active engagement with life. It rejects the idea of waiting for salvation and instead encourages every individual to take ownership of their spiritual evolution. By confronting darkness, dismantling limiting beliefs, and cultivating inner light, we create our own path to ascension.

    VI. Shadow Warrior vs. Light Warrior: The Necessary Battle Within

    Building on the understanding of ‘It’ and the rejection of external saviors, TULWA further explores the internal dynamics of spiritual transformation. This journey is characterized by a constant engagement with our inner light and shadow, represented by the archetypes of the Light Warrior and the Shadow Warrior. Ascension, in this context, requires us to actively confront and transform the darkness within, becoming lighter both metaphorically and literally.

    At the heart of this struggle is the understanding that ascension is a process of becoming lighter—both metaphorically and literally. In the TULWA philosophy, we cannot ascend if we are weighed down by unresolved shadows. True spiritual progress comes from the hard work of transforming that which is heavy and dark into something light and radiant.

    A. The Power and Danger of the Grey Masses

    In the broader spiritual landscape, there is a vast group of individuals who do not consciously walk the path of spiritual transformation. These are what we call the grey masses—those who live in a state of spiritual dormancy, neither fully engaging with their shadows nor actively seeking the light. TULWA acknowledges the power and danger inherent in this collective group, as they hold significant sway in the balance between light and dark on a global scale.

    1. The Role of the Grey Masses
      • The grey masses represent the vast majority of humanity. These individuals are not on a deliberate path of spiritual awakening, nor are they fully immersed in the darkness. They exist in a state of inertia, content with the status quo, often indifferent to the deeper spiritual realities that surround them.
      • While they may not be consciously aware of it, each individual within the grey masses holds the potential to either succumb to shadow or rise into light. This potential makes them a powerful force in the collective unconscious. When the grey masses lean into fear, ignorance, and complacency, they bolster the shadows that weigh down humanity. When they begin to awaken, even subtly, to their own potential for light, they contribute to the upliftment of the collective.
    2. The Danger of Remaining in the Grey Zone
      • The danger of the grey masses lies in their passivity. Inaction can often be more dangerous than deliberate engagement with darkness. When individuals remain in a state of spiritual sleep, they allow the forces of shadow to subtly influence their lives, making them susceptible to manipulation, fear-based thinking, and stagnation. The shadow thrives in this environment of apathy and disconnection.
      • TULWA teaches that no one is inherently condemned to remain in the grey zone, but the longer an individual remains disengaged from their inner work, the more likely they are to be pulled into the currents of darkness. The grey masses may not consciously choose shadow, but by failing to actively engage with their potential for light, they risk being swept up in its influence.

    B. The True Path to Ascension

    The battle between shadow and light is a deeply personal one. While the grey masses may represent the collective state of spiritual dormancy, each individual has the power to choose their own path. In TULWA, ascension is not something granted by external forces; it is something we earn through personal responsibility, discipline, and deep transformation. This stands in direct contrast to the passive ascension narratives that suggest individuals can be elevated without actively participating in their own growth.

    1. Climbing Rather Than Being Pulled Up
      • The path to ascension, as described in TULWA, is a process of climbing. Ascension is not something we can be lifted into by divine favor or the intervention of higher beings. Instead, it requires that we do the necessary work to lighten ourselves, shedding the weight of unresolved darkness and transforming our inner shadows into light. The lighter we become, the higher we can climb.
      • Imagine ascension as a mountain. At the base of the mountain, we are burdened with the weight of unexamined fears, traumas, and shadow aspects of ourselves. To ascend, we must confront these shadows head-on, systematically transforming them into light, which in turn makes us lighter. The more we transform, the higher we can climb. There is no external rope pulling us up; we ascend through our own efforts, one step at a time.
      • In contrast, passive ascension narratives promote the illusion that we can simply be pulled up to higher dimensions without engaging in the necessary inner work. These narratives foster complacency and dependence, offering a false sense of security. In TULWA, such an approach is not only unrealistic but also harmful, as it prevents individuals from engaging with the very forces that hold them back.
    2. Why We Must Transform, Not Avoid, Darkness
      • The essence of ascension is transformation, not avoidance. Those who are unwilling to face their shadows can never truly ascend, for the weight of unresolved darkness will always hold them back. In TULWA, this truth is at the core of the Light Warrior’s journey. We cannot outrun our shadows; we cannot simply bypass the difficult work of inner transformation.
      • Avoidance leads to stagnation. The shadow aspects of ourselves—our fears, traumas, and unhealed wounds—cannot be hidden away or ignored. They will continue to exert influence over our lives until we face them directly. Ascension is not about avoiding discomfort or bypassing the hard work; it is about confronting the parts of ourselves that are heavy, dark, and unresolved, and transforming them into something lighter.
      • Light Warriors know that ascension is not about external light. It is not about seeking salvation or illumination from an external source. True ascension is about transforming our internal darkness, using it as fuel for our own growth. The more darkness we transform, the more light we create within ourselves, and the higher we are able to ascend. In this way, the Light Warrior is always in a state of becoming—constantly refining, transforming, and rising.
    3. The Non-Linear Nature of the Path
      • It is important to recognize that the path to ascension is not linear. The journey of transformation is full of twists, setbacks, and challenges. There will be moments when we seem to descend back into shadow, only to rise again with greater clarity and strength. TULWA teaches that this cyclical nature is a natural part of the process. Every descent into shadow offers an opportunity for deeper transformation.
      • The Light Warrior embraces these challenges, knowing that each confrontation with darkness brings them closer to their goal. By continuously transforming their internal shadows, they become lighter, more resilient, and more attuned to their true nature. This is the essence of TULWA’s path of ascension—one that requires active participation, perseverance, and a willingness to engage fully with life’s challenges.

    VII. Conclusion: Towards a Collective Spiritual Evolution

    A. The Need for Personal Accountability

    The journey of the Light Warrior culminates in a collective awakening. While individual transformation is paramount, TULWA recognizes the interconnectedness of all beings and the power of collective action. Each individual’s commitment to dismantling their inner darkness contributes to a ripple effect, raising the consciousness of the whole. This stands in stark contrast to the “chosen ones” narrative, which places the burden of transformation on a select few, ultimately hindering true collective evolution. It is through the combined efforts of individuals actively engaged in their own ascension that humanity can achieve lasting spiritual progress.

    B. A Call for Conscious, Inclusive Transformation

    TULWA provides a practical and inclusive framework for spiritual growth, emphasizing conscious engagement with our inner realities.

    This active transformation requires consistent effort and personal accountability, rejecting the notion of passive ascension or external saviors. By embracing this path, we transcend the limitations of elitist narratives and contribute to the collective evolution of humanity.

    Ascension is a journey open to all who are willing to do the inner work, transforming darkness into light and recognizing our interconnectedness. TULWA calls us to embrace a path of personal empowerment and inclusive spiritual growth. By challenging the outdated “chosen ones” narrative, it invites us to take responsibility for our own ascension.

    This journey of the Light Warrior is available to all who are willing to engage in deep inner work, recognizing that true ascension begins within and contributes to the collective evolution of humanity.

    Note: Why I Do Not Name Interdimensional Beings, and Only Label Them as “It”

    As an interdimensionally blind human being, I acknowledge the limitations of my perception when it comes to interacting with forces beyond the physical realm. I cannot see who—or what—I am communicating with, and because of this, I cannot be certain if I am truly engaging with a benevolent guide, like “The Saviour,” or a deceptive entity, like “The Con Artist.” This is why I deliberately choose not to name these interdimensional forces. To label them as guides, Archangel Michael, Ashtar Command, Jesus, or Buddha gives them an identity, and with that identity comes the potential for them to gain power over me. Naming these forces can instill feelings of awe, admiration, or reverence, which may disempower me as I become more focused on them than on my own transformation.

    Consider the example of a deceased loved one, like a grandmother, supposedly contacting me from beyond, offering emotional reassurances—perhaps telling me that I’m doing well or that “I’ve seen the light.” If I am moved by this emotional experience, I might feel inclined to believe it is truly her. I might even go beyond belief to a state of knowing it’s her, despite the fact that I am effectively “blind as a bat” in these interdimensional interactions. This emotional investment opens me up to manipulation, making it harder to distinguish between truth and deception.

    By not naming or labeling these interdimensional forces, I create a protective barrier—a kind of spiritual firewall—that prevents me from being drawn into paths I haven’t consciously chosen. This protective stance allows me to remain grounded in my own inner work, rather than becoming dependent on external forces for validation or guidance. It ensures that whatever interdimensional force I am interacting with, it cannot overpower me or sway me based on the name or identity I’ve attributed to it.

    The entities that inspire and guide me—my interdimensional mentors—do not need me to pray to them, obey them, or glorify them. They acknowledge that their role is not to be worshipped or revered but to support me as I take charge of my own spiritual journey. They understand that their true purpose is to wait for me to grab hold of myself, to step into my power, and to transform my own darkness. Awe and respect directed toward them would only be a distraction from the real work that lies within me.

    This It concept is elaborated extensively on the TULWA site and in the TULWA Philosophy book, where I go deeper into the dynamics of interacting with these forces while maintaining personal sovereignty. By avoiding the tendency to name, label, or venerate these interdimensional beings, I empower myself to stay focused on the path of inner transformation, ensuring that my journey remains my own—guided by my own inner light, not the perceived power of external entities.

  • The Dark Side of Religion: How Multidimensional Insights Can Shape Our Understanding of the World

    The article looks into the duality embedded within world religions, with a particular emphasis on how this duality manifests in long-standing conflicts, such as that between Israel and Iran. By drawing on esoteric and cosmic theories, we’ll explore the idea that humanity is not only influenced by visible forces and historical circumstances but also by hidden extraterrestrial or interdimensional influences. These forces might play a role in shaping human civilizations and their conflicts throughout time. But this article is not specifically about the Israel-Iran conflict. Instead, it uses that conflict as a starting point for a deeper reflection.

    Introduction

    At the heart of the Middle East, a region that has seen some of the longest and most complex conflicts in history, we find the ongoing struggle between Israel and Iran. What may seem like a political and territorial disagreement on the surface carries profound spiritual and metaphysical undertones, representing a much larger battle between cosmic forces of light and darkness.

    This article aims to explore the “darkness in religions”—how dogmatic beliefs and written doctrines can fuel conflicts that are not just limited to physical battlefields but also wage an invisible war within human souls and the collective landscape of consciousness. This idea of darkness, woven into the fundamental structures of major world religions, will be examined to understand how it shapes geopolitical landscapes and personal identities in ways that may be hidden from plain sight.

    Additionally, we’ll explore how these earthly manifestations of conflict may reflect greater cosmic battles—interplanetary and interdimensional struggles—an idea that has been part of esoteric and spiritual traditions throughout time. These traditions suggest that humanity is not just a pawn in a political game but also a participant in a more intricate dance led by extraterrestrial and interdimensional forces.

    By diving deeply into these layers, I hope to offer a new perspective on the Middle Eastern conflict and inspire a deeper understanding of the human condition as it faces both the divine and the demonic. Through this understanding, we may find keys not just to survive these dark times but to transcend them.

    Historical and Religious Background

    The Abrahamic Religions and the Middle East

    The Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—have deep roots in the Middle East, which is often viewed as a spiritual epicenter for these faiths. Sharing a common patriarch in Abraham, these religions have shaped the cultural, social, and political landscapes of the region for thousands of years. Their histories are filled with moments of cooperation and conflict, with holy texts and doctrines interpreted and applied in different ways depending on the time and context.

    For example, tensions between Jews and Muslims in Israel and Palestine today can be traced back to biblical and Quranic stories that both unite and divide these communities. Jewish history is deeply tied to the land through narratives that date back to the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, while Islam views the same land as holy, particularly as the site of the Prophet Muhammad’s ascension to heaven.

    Dualism in the Abrahamic Religions

    A central theme within the Abrahamic religions is dualism—the conflict between good and evil, light and darkness. This dualism does not merely reflect a moral struggle but carries cosmic implications, often seen as part of a larger divine plan.

    • Judaism: In Jewish thought, concepts such as Yetzer hara (evil inclination) and Yetzer hatov (good inclination) symbolize the internal battle between good and evil that all humans face.
    • Christianity: Christian doctrine personifies the struggle between good and evil through the figures of Jesus Christ and Satan, with salvation and sin as central themes.
    • Islam: In Islam, this dualism is often discussed in terms of Jihad al-nafs (the greater struggle against one’s lower self), urging individuals to fight against sin and strive for righteousness.

    These religious narratives shape how believers engage with the world, including how they view conflicts. For many, these struggles are not merely historical or political but part of a grand spiritual war, where the final outcome is determined by divine forces.

    The Influence of Extraterrestrial and Interdimensional Forces

    Esoteric and Spiritual Traditions

    Throughout history, various esoteric and spiritual traditions have suggested that humanity is not only influenced by visible, earthly forces but also by extraterrestrial and interdimensional entities. These ideas stretch back to the ancient mystery religions of Egypt and Greece and continue into modern New Age movements. Examples include:

    • Gnosticism: This tradition teaches that the material world was created by a lesser god, the Demiurge, and that higher divine beings exist in other dimensions.
    • Theosophy: This philosophy introduces the idea of advanced spiritual beings from other planets or dimensions who have guided humanity’s spiritual evolution.
    • Ufology and Modern Contact Theories: These theories suggest that extraterrestrial visitors have influenced human culture and technology from ancient times through today.

    These theories provide an alternative understanding of human history and evolution, proposing that our civilization may be the result of interactions with forces beyond our usual comprehension of reality.

    Manifestation in Historical and Modern Conflicts

    These hidden extraterrestrial and interdimensional forces may not only have shaped humanity’s spiritual and technological growth but also played a role in guiding political and social structures:

    Religious Texts and Extraterrestrial Interpretations

    Certain interpretations of religious texts suggest that descriptions of divine or supernatural beings may actually be veiled references to extraterrestrial encounters. This view is found across various cultural and religious contexts:

    • The Bible: Some interpret stories of angelic interactions—such as Jacob’s wrestling with an angel or Ezekiel’s detailed descriptions of “chariots of fire”—as possible descriptions of extraterrestrial meetings.
    • Vedic Scriptures: In ancient Indian texts like the Mahabharata and Ramayana, stories of vimanas (flying chariots) and advanced technologies could represent extraterrestrial technology.
    • Buddhist Texts: Legends of Asuras (divine or demonic beings) and their technologies in Buddhist texts may also be metaphors for extraterrestrial influences and interventions.

    These interpretations challenge conventional understandings of history and suggest that human civilization may be, in part, the result of interactions with extraterrestrial or interdimensional forces.

    A Case Study: Israel-Iran Conflict

    Cosmic and Religious Dualism

    The Israel-Iran conflict, while primarily seen as political and territorial, also carries deep metaphysical undertones that are rooted in cosmic and religious dualism. Both nations’ religious narratives reflect a clear distinction between light and darkness, good and evil.

    • Israel: In Jewish mysticism, particularly in Kabbalah, there are ideas about a cosmic battle between forces of light (kedushah) and forces of darkness (klipot). These concepts may parallel nationalistic and survival instincts in Israeli politics and self-perception, especially during conflict.
    • Iran: In Shia Islam, particularly with regard to Mahdaviat (the belief in the return of the Mahdi), there is an expectation of an apocalyptic battle against injustice, often associated with Western or Zionist forces.

    Some theorists suggest that extraterrestrial or interdimensional beings may have an interest in such conflicts, acting as either passive observers or active influencers.

    Human Perception and Manipulation

    Influence of Visible and Invisible Forces

    Human history and culture have been shaped by both visible and invisible forces. The visible forces include political, social, and economic systems, while the invisible forces might include subtler influences such as cultural norms, psychological states, and possibly extraterrestrial or interdimensional manipulation.

    1. Psychological and Cultural Manipulation: Human perception of reality is largely shaped by the cultural, media, and educational structures that surround us. Throughout history, propaganda has been used in both overt and covert forms to shape public opinion and internal beliefs.
    2. Subtle Influences: Esoteric and spiritual traditions propose that human behavior can also be influenced by astral or cosmic energies, which operate on subtler, energetic levels.

    Religious Dogma and Extraterrestrial Agendas

    Religion has historically been a powerful force in shaping human behavior and societal structures, with dogmatic teachings often defining what is “right” and “wrong.” But what if these religious systems themselves are influenced by non-earthly agendas?

    1. Shaping Religious Beliefs: Some theories suggest that earthly religions may have been established or manipulated by extraterrestrial beings to promote specific social structures or maintain control over human development. This could involve the introduction of dualistic concepts, such as good versus evil, that foster conflict while also providing cohesion.
    2. Modern Examples: In today’s complex information landscape, extraterrestrial or interdimensional forces could theoretically exert influence through more sophisticated means such as digital manipulation or psycho-social engineering, possibly amplified through technology.

    These ideas raise questions about how we can differentiate our own will from influences shaped by external forces, both earthly and non-earthly. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for achieving deeper self-awareness and navigating our own lives with greater clarity and purpose.

    The Motivations Behind Extraterrestrial and Interdimensional Influence

    Humanity’s history and spiritual practices have often been marked by a struggle between light and darkness. This can be seen as a reflection of larger cosmic agendas, with cosmic forces of both light and darkness exerting influence on human development:

    1. Motivations of Darkness: Forces associated with darkness may seek to maintain a status quo where control, dominance, and conflict reign. By keeping humanity divided and in conflict, these forces strengthen their agenda, which often remains hidden from human perception. Darkness uses fear, misunderstanding, and division to manipulate religious and cultural systems, ensuring that humanity remains in a state of disharmony and confusion, preventing collective spiritual awakening and autonomy.
    2. The Mission of Light: Conversely, the forces of light promote expansion, evolution, and cooperation. These forces aim to foster enlightenment, integration, and growth—both personal and collective. However, because humanity’s long history has been more shaped by darkness than light, the manifestations of light can be overshadowed or even manipulated by darker forces. Throughout history, we can see how spiritual teachings and movements, originally meant to liberate and enlighten, have been corrupted or transformed into dogmatic religions serving darker interests.

    This cosmic battle of influence and resistance has deep implications for human behavior and societal structures. By understanding these dynamics, humans can begin to recognize the subtle forces shaping their worldview and everyday decisions, and thus make more informed, self-determined choices.

    Multidimensional Self-Understanding

    The Importance of Multidimensional Self-Perception

    To understand oneself as a multidimensional being is to acknowledge that our existence and experiences extend beyond the immediately observable physical realm. This perspective opens us up to a deeper understanding of our inner lives and the subtle energies that influence us:

    1. We Are More Than Our Physical Bodies: We are composed of thoughts, emotions, electromagnetic and spiritual energies, and perhaps even cosmic or extraterrestrial influences, all of which together shape our experience of reality.
    2. Our Reality Is Interwoven with Other Dimensions: Our decisions, actions, and even our perceptions can be influenced by dynamics and energies that exist in other dimensions. This adds an extra layer of complexity to our understanding of cause and effect in our lives.

    Impact on Conflict Resolution and Personal Growth

    Understanding oneself as a multidimensional being can radically change how we approach both personal and global challenges:

    1. Conflict Resolution: With a multidimensional understanding, we can begin to see conflicts not only as geopolitical or social problems but also as reflections of greater spiritual, cosmic, or interdimensional battles. This can lead to new approaches in conflict resolution that encompass healing on multiple levels, not just physical negotiations.
    2. Personal Growth: This understanding can encourage a more holistic approach to self-development, where we seek balance and harmony not just on the physical and psychological planes, but in our spiritual and energetic lives as well. It may also inspire us to explore and develop our abilities to navigate and integrate these various dimensions of our existence.

    Human DNA and Cosmic Influence

    Human DNA and the Mystery of “Junk DNA”

    One of the great mysteries in science is the so-called “junk DNA” in the human genome—parts of our DNA that seem to serve no apparent function. However, many researchers are beginning to rethink this assumption, suggesting that this DNA could hold important keys to our biological potential.

    1. DNA as a Gateway to Multidimensional Potential: Recognizing that our physical DNA is influenced by non-physical signals opens the door to understanding how we interact with electromagnetic and multidimensional realities. The energy that drives our physical functions, like the electrical impulses that control movement, might also be the key to unlocking deeper capacities within us.
    2. Extraterrestrial Influences on DNA: If humanity, with its limited technology, can already manipulate DNA, what might be possible for beings with a more advanced understanding of the electromagnetic nature of the universe? Some theorists suggest that extraterrestrial or interdimensional beings may have manipulated or influenced human DNA in the past, potentially embedding within us latent capacities for significant change and adaptation.

    The Potential of “Junk DNA”

    Recent research suggests that this so-called “junk DNA” might contain regulatory sequences and other critical functions that are essential to our development, both biologically and perhaps psychologically or spiritually. This segment of DNA, which has long been underestimated, may carry codes that can be activated under certain circumstances, indicating a stored capacity for profound transformation and adaptability.

    Preventing DNA Activation by Forces of Darkness

    If our “junk DNA” holds the potential for evolutionary growth or the activation of higher abilities, it becomes critical for the forces of darkness to prevent this knowledge from being discovered and utilized. Darkness, which thrives on human ignorance and conflict, has strong incentives to keep these capacities suppressed:

    1. Disruption and Diversion: Given humanity’s limitations in perceiving the full spectrum of electromagnetic and multidimensional realities, darkness can easily manipulate and create disruptions. This can involve promoting scientific and cultural narratives that undermine the belief in non-material aspects of human nature, as well as more direct psycho-social disruptions that keep humanity in a state of fear, doubt, and division.
    2. Spiritual Blindness: By maintaining a collective blindness to electromagnetic and spiritual dimensions, darkness ensures that humans remain unaware of, and therefore unable to activate, the deeper capacities within their own DNA. This preserves a status quo where the potential for expanded consciousness and higher-dimensional abilities remains unexplored and unrealized.
    3. Control Over Information: Darkness may also operate through more institutionalized channels, controlling educational resources, scientific research, and media content to dismiss or stigmatize explorations that could lead to the activation of these latent DNA segments.

    Recognizing these dynamics can act as a catalyst for human awakening and the pursuit of knowledge, challenging the limitations and barriers that darkness has erected. By breaking through these barriers, we may rediscover and activate the parts of our DNA that hold the key to our evolutionary future and our true potential as multidimensional beings.

    Future Perspectives and Awakening

    Individual Awakening as a Catalyst for Change

    At the heart of multidimensional self-awareness is the realization that fundamental societal changes start with the individual. This process of personal awakening is essential for breaking down old paradigms and patterns that have kept humanity restrained:

    1. Self-Discovery and Development: As individuals begin to recognize and explore their own multidimensional nature, it opens the door to deeper understanding and integration of these higher potentials. This leads to a more harmonious life that aligns personal values with universal principles.
    2. Breaking Old Patterns: Through personal growth and self-discovery, individuals can break free from traditional dogmas and structures that have been sustained by darker forces. By regaining control over their own electromagnetic, psychological, and spiritual well-being, they can reduce societal vulnerability to manipulation and control.

    The Ripple Effect: From Person to Planet

    The transformative power of individual awakening has implications that reach far beyond the self:

    1. From Person to Organization: When individuals change, they influence the organizations they are part of—workplaces, social groups, and families. New ways of thinking and acting take shape as awakened individuals interact with these structures.
    2. From Organization to Nation: When enough organizations begin to incorporate these new principles, it can create a ripple effect that reaches the national level of governance and politics.
    3. From Nation to Coalition: On a global scale, nations that embrace this new consciousness can begin to form international alliances and coalitions based on a deeper understanding of human potential and shared goals for the planet.

    Implications for Global Peace and Harmony

    By focusing on individual transformation rather than relying solely on external systems and structures for solutions, we can fundamentally change the collective human experience. This approach can ultimately lead to a more stable and peaceful global state, where humanity not only survives but thrives in harmony with itself and the universe.

    Conclusion: Awakening and Transformation

    Through this article, we’ve explored the profound and often hidden influences shaping our world—from visible conflicts between nations to the unseen battles between cosmic forces. Yet even in this intricate web of complexity and conflict lies an untapped power: the potential for personal awakening and transformation.

    Each of us carries an inherent light, often obscured by the darkness of our own misunderstandings, fears, and the manipulations of external forces. It is in our deepest nature to seek out this light through self-discovery and spiritual growth. By activating and embracing this light, we can begin a transformation from within, a process that radiates outward into all aspects of our lives.

    Individual Role in Cosmic Transformation

    Every individual holds the potential to access this inner light, transforming darkness not through conflict but through understanding. Our inner transformation acts as a catalyst for dissolving old patterns of fear and division, replacing them with love, unity, and collaboration.

    The personal awakening process sends waves of high-frequency energy into the cosmos, influencing others, both near and far. In this way, each person’s journey toward awakening becomes part of a larger, global—and even cosmic—process. The energy we emit attracts and magnifies similar energies. Like attracts like.

    It is crucial for individuals to awaken to the possibility of transforming their own inner darkness. This can trigger and activate the light that is locked within, leading to transformative effects not only for the individual but for the collective human experience.

    The Way Forward

    The path ahead is not one of exploring external solutions and structures but one of diving deeper into our own inner landscapes. By discovering and releasing our own inner light, we contribute to brightening the darkness around us. This process requires courage, honesty, and a willingness to stand in the truth of who we truly are—infinitely powerful beings capable of not only changing ourselves but also the world around us.

    Let us take this knowledge as a call to action, not just for reflection but for meaningful change. Through individual transformation, we find the most sustainable and powerful solution to the challenges facing our planet and our species. Believe in the power of the light within each of us, and together we can take steps toward a brighter, more harmonious world.
