Piercing the Veil of Reality

Voting, Cognitive Dissonance and Fear of the Unknown

Bernhard Guenther | 20 October

The system is not broken. It is designed that way to keep people imprisoned out of their own choice in a global Stockholm Syndrome. It’s not an irrational “conspiracy theory” but fact that can be proven with a careful study of our real history (not the one you learned in school) including Psychopathology.

2012 – Collective Awakening or End of the World?

Bernhard Guenther | 22 July

We’re half way through 2012. Many prophecies have hinted at this time as The Shift of the Ages and The Time of Transition. If you take a look at the shelves of any spiritual/new age bookstore, you’ll see dozens of books with 2012 in the title. It certainly has become a good marketing bit.

Wanderers, Purpose, and Esoteric Work in this Time of Transition

Bernhard Guenther | 22 April

A topic that has been coming up recently in a conversation with some friends is the idea of “Wanderers” in relation to esoteric work, the awakening process and the Time of Transition we are in. It is something that has been on my mind for a while and wanted to explore a bit deeper, also reflecting on my own life.

Being the change you want to see in the world

Bernhard Guenther | 28 August

Over the years as my eyes have been opened to what is really going in the world behind the curtain and smokescreen of appearances, it became increasingly clear to me that just trying to change the world without changing oneself through sincere self-work is a dead-end road, or, like Don Quixote, chasing illusory windmills.

All you need is Love!

Bernhard Guenther | 10 June

That’s what John Lennon was singing about and it is true, all we need is love. But do we really know what love is? Love is a word that is sung about in songs, written in poems, talked about a lot and it is something many people long for one way or the other, mostly in form of a partner.

National Pride and The Bogeyman

Bernhard Guenther | 7 May

The public reaction to the alleged killing of Osama bin Laden has revealed once again the darker side of America, reminiscent of the response to 9/11 in 2001. Flags everywhere and national pride being displayed with an undeniable disturbing undertone glorifying murder and revenge.

Organic Portals – Soulless Humans

Bernhard Guenther | 18 April

True esoteric work and knowledge can only be grasped and applied by a certain type of human being and another type does not posses this ability in his/her current life cycle. One type has a soul, the other one is soul-less, so to speak. There is no difference on the outside and in terms of personality, but the inner life is vastly different.

The Positivity of Objectivity and the Time of Transition

Bernhard Guenther | 2 February

There seems much confusion about what is supposedly “positive or negative”, “subjective or objective”. Some people claim that there is nothing like “objectivity” and all is subjective.

Know Thyself – Short Film

Bernhard Guenther | 19 January

This video explores the essentials of self-knowledge as a fundamental means to establish true and lasting change in the world, as well as providing insights into the traps towards awakening.

UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact

Bernhard Guenther | 21 November

Our views on life and existence, science and religion, spirituality and evolution, consciousness and psychology as well as reality as we know it would take on a whole new understanding when looking deeper into the UFO phenomena and the possibility of a higher alien intelligence affecting our world.

Reflections – The Importance of Self-work

Bernhard Guenther | 10 November

Lately I’ve been in a more introspective mood. There is a lot happening in the world outside and within, the inner world. Self-work always entails a certain struggle and conflict in order to confront the predator within.

The Illusion of Choice

Bernhard Guenther | 5 November

“I voted”. I saw that update coming up a lot the other day on Facebook at election day, neatly put on a red/blue/white button. What is the underlying message of someone who posts that? To show that one is an upstanding American Citizen doing the “right thing” by executing one’s right to vote? To feel good about oneself? To entice others to vote?

Know Thyself

Bernhard Guenther | 29 October

With people presenting solutions everywhere, be it through the political circus, spiritual leaders, to more progressive movements offering self-sustainable solutions, many people seem to have a plan of how to “fix” the world. Others say all is just as it is supposed to be and all we need to do is to go with the “flow”, focus on “love” and “light” and everything will be good. …

Nine Years Later – 9/11 And The Shift in Consciousness

Bernhard Guenther | 24 October

It’s been nine years since 9/11. Millions of people, civilians and soldiers have died world wide in the following war on terror. The American people have lost basic rights due to the Patriot Act. In Europe and other countries, similar “security measures” have been implemented.
