The Ascent and Descent – Suffering as a Catalyst for Awakening | The Cosmic Matrix Podcast #2 (Part 1)




The Ascent and Descent – Suffering as a Catalyst for Awakening | The Cosmic Matrix Podcast #2 (Part 1)






Everyone is suffering to varying degrees. Do we have to suffer and what is the way out? In this episode, we explore the role of suffering in light of the process of awakening, its teaching function, and how to catalyze suffering into deeper healing. We look at the process of the ascent and descent from a soul evolutionary perspective, the importance of meditation and embodiment, how to transmute pain and negative emotions, how pathology has become normalized in official culture/modern society, and many other topics (Part 1).

This Time of Transition retreat will be hosted by Bernhard Guenther and his partner Laura Matsue, and is an evolution from previous retreats in that it will focus more on the concept of relating and the inner process of union that needs to take place before any outer changes can occur as we move towards transcending the Matrix and healing the wound of Separation.



Placed in the high-jungle of the Peruvian Amazon (commonly referred to as the “Hawaii of Peru”) the setting of this retreat is away from the typical distractions of modern life, allowing us the space to go deeper into ourselves and connect deeper with one another.


We will learn about the bigger picture perspective of the accelerated evolution of consciousness that is occurring right now on Planet Earth, the Matrix Control System and its teaching function, and the importance of creating conscious relationships and community during this Time of Transition. Together we will dive into a wide-array of daily spiritual practices, sharing circles, and explore the fundamentals of self-work and embodiment practices that are necessary in order to anchor the Divine within and align with our individual’s soul purpose. We will also give time to reconnect with our natural rhythms and the natural order around us by going on hikes through the jungle, bathing in waterfalls, and deeply cleansing our body, mind, and spirit.
