Here is the video we’ve just released about the autumn equinox, which is in a few days (in the Northern Hemisphere). This is the fourth video in the series we’ve been making about the ancient spiritual meaning of the solstices and equinoxes – this one focuses on the ancient spiritual meaning of the autumn equinox.
It takes a visually rich deep dive into the traditions, ancient sites, and myths of the fall / autumn equinox to uncover their deeper spiritual meaning and relevance today.
The autumn equinox is a time when day and night are equal, but after which the nights become longer than the days, and darkness becomes greater than light. It was celebrated by ancient peoples for millennia and is still one of the most celebrated religious times of year today.
Why is the autumn equinox such an important religious event and what is its spiritual meaning?
To answer these questions, I travel through the many sites and festivals connected to it across the world.
I explore the autumn equinox tradition of Durga Puja in India, which is celebrated by over a billion people, and the ancient Persian festival of Mehregan. I also look at the meaning of the legend of the Minotaur, the Eleusinian Mysteries, the descent of the feathered serpent Kukulkan/Quetzalcoatl, the hanging of the Norse god Odin on the world tree, the journey of the Egyptian sun god Ra, and the crucifixion of Jesus, which are all connected to the fall equinox.
I explore the alignments of some of the world’s most enigmatic sacred sites to the autumn equinox to interpret their symbolic, spiritual meaning, including the Great Pyramid and Sphinx Temple in Egypt, Ahu Akivi in Easter Island, the Pyramid of the Feathered Serpent in Mexico (El Castillo at Chichen Itza), and the Palace of Knossos in Crete.
I explain how celebrating the equinox was an important component of an ancient religion of the sun that spread to different parts of the world in prehistory. I also explore the role and symbolism of the mother goddess, and of darkness, death and descent, as represented by the autumn equinox.
This video is part of a series about the spiritual meaning of the solstices and equinoxes, which is based on our book Ancient Solstice. You can watch the other videos in this series here:

Once again, the team and I just finished this video in time for the autumn equinox by putting in some big hours in the last couple of weeks. Everyone involved did such a fantastic job. There is a lot of work that goes into making these longer style doco videos with their hundreds of images, illustrations, and 3D graphics – not to mention all the research, music, filming, editing etc. But it’s worth it, as it’s really something special to see these ancient sites and mysteries brought back to life.
Jon did a superb job of editing everything together. Erik did a wonderful job of organizing all the images and clips and creating some of the AI images. Dara also made some of the AI images. Together Dara and Erik brought Minoan priestesses back to life! Dara also recreated the beautiful alignment of the Great Pyramid’s descending passage to the North Star. Julian did another brilliant job of doing the 3D graphics, which allowed us to travel across the world to different ancient sites, and to witness the alignments of the Sphinx Temple and Ahu Akivi. Together, Julian and Erik did the diagram of the Great Pyramid’s alignment to Alcyone and Thuban (based on an existed illustration by Charles Piazzi Smyth). Lucia composed the poignant quote images. Jenny created the true-to-life still of the Sphinx Temple equinox alignment, and cleared the images/clips we needed. And last but not least, Jenny and Jordan put the mighty list of credits together.
It’s been a big project to make these videos about the ancient spiritual meaning of the four solstices and equinoxes, but we finally made it, and I think it’s such an important contribution to the world’s understanding of the ancient celebration of these times of year. I hope they serve as educational resources for many years to come.
Thank you to those of you who’ve supported Mark and I, and the team at the publisher to be able to complete this project – though we’ll be continuing to make videos about these times of year. There is still much to say, as they were the most important days in the ancient world.
Wishing you a very meaningful equinox.
Happy (belated) equinox everyone! I really got a lot out of working on the media for this video, and I think it’s come out so well.
Autumn equinox is my favorite time of the year. I seem to be able to feel the change in the air for the autumn equinox much more than I can for the other times of year, usually in the week or so before the actual event. There’s something about the time of year and the transition into the longer nights and colder days that feels really mysterious, kind of like carrying a candle into some dark chamber to find a hidden treasure. And I also feel this event is a bit easier to relate to, as it feels like it’s the closest to the experience of going through some of the inner and outer challenges and difficulties that come up in life.
I did a simple celebration for this one sitting on the beach and looking across a lake and reading through the Norse ceremony in Ancient Solstice with some simple mantra songs. Wasn’t sure if there would be a sunset as there were clouds, but luckily there was a break in them just above the horizon that the sun kind of burst out of before setting into the trees on the other side of the lake. It felt really meaningful.
Here’s a photo of the sunset if anyone would like to see!
That looks amazing David . Showing up like that 🌅 , a grand goodbye. Almost like; ‘I’m here/ that’s what to chase for, now that I go away.’
Nice description of the autumn change of air and energy, I feel it too.
Hi folks, I’m a long time reader and first time commenting in a long while.
It is interesting how the information about circadian rhythms and health effects of the sun has come up on this site and how some people here have been making discoveries about this information independently. There must be something in the air, or, a quantum entanglement going on, but certainly no co-incidence, as Dara and I have also been looking into this topic since about 1 year ago and have implemented changes from which we are benefiting greatly. It has been a real game changer for us. Glad that people here are getting this information and hopefully improve their health and longevity as a result.
We first heard about the Quantum Biology Collective podcast, listening to their episodes talking about sun light and harmful effects of blue light. We kept hearing from them about Dr Jack Kruse as being the source, one of America’s top neurosurgeons (never been sued in 30 years according to him, unlike most of his colleagues who get sued once or twice a year).
So we looked him up and our minds were blown, such a wealth of information he has been pumping out about quantum biology, circadian rhythm health and mitochondrial health for the last 20 years. He pioneered cold thermogenesis long before Wim Hoff…and for getting sunlight. He is a fierce proponent for decentralised medicine, i.e. getting government or hospital mandates out of the doctor/patient relationship.
Although he uses some colourful language (you have been warned) in most of his interviews, we have a lot of respect for him for the information he has been bringing forward for so long to help people get healthy for free and speaking out against the medical/military industrial complex which brought you covid and the response to it. He takes his hippocratic oath very seriously. He has written medical freedom laws for El Salvador. He is also very knowledgeable about history and in particular the history of certain agencies study and use of blue light to control people. Governments have banned the use of incandescent light bulbs which still had some purple and red in them in favour of all blue light LEDs. Can you guess why? Was it really just to save on energy costs? He has 1 book about reseting your leptin to overcome leptin resistance which ties in with using the sun to improve your circadian health. There is a free guide on this on his site.
He uses some interesting phrases throughout his interviews such as:
‘your wounds create your wisdom’
‘ideation without execution leads to deletion of every good idea’
‘you can’t get better in the same environment that made you sick’
Here is something he once wrote on his forums but echoes what he talks about in podcasts,. This is Dr. Jack’s prescription in a 5 point nutshell: (‘brain surgery without a scalpel’):
“Don’t survive, thrive. Do life soaring. Our cells read and react to our environment; it shapes us and we are shaped by it.
1. Look at the sun every morning and get 30-90 minutes outside every day
2. Be grounded………100% of the time
3. Drink good water.
4. Avoid blue light and nnEMF.
5. Eat seasonally for your zip code.
How hard was that?”
(nnEMF = non-native EMF, the only native EMF is the sun)
Breaking this down further it is 3 things; Light, Water and Magnetism.
In one podcast he gave this list of importance:
1) Sun light 2) Darkness at night 3) Eliminating electro-magnetic fields 4) Quality of your water 5) Social relationships 6) Quality of your food 7) Exercise 8) Your parents (trans-generational genetics)
Other doctors who are good at breaking this information down are Dr Sara Pugh (UK), Dr Alexis Cowan(USA) and Dr Max Gulhane(Aust) – all of whom have done interviews with Dr Kruse and others in this field on Youtube. Another good one is Cameron Borg of Ricci Flow Nutrition.
Dr Kruse has an extensive website jackkruse.com – type any disease or topic you want to learn about in the search box on there and you will likely find helpful information. He also has a paid Patreon site and is quite active on X (Twitter). His is the best health advice we have ever received and there is plenty of it available for free and its free to implement it, he is not selling any supplements.
From what I understand, most modern disease is primarily caused by or contributed to by a lack of sunlight and exposure to artificial light, especially at night (ALAN = artificial light at night). It is all a mitochondrial problem but science is looking for answers in the nuclear DNA genome instead of the mitochondrial DNA genome (which Dr Jack bemoans constantly).
Here is a playlist of videos I put together as an introduction or further education for anyone interested (this one contains no profane language):

– if you are time poor then just watch the 4rd one by the optometrist, ‘Quantum Eye Doc’ – its a great summary of everything, not just eye health.
– some of the channels in this playlist offer discounts with various stores, check out their video descriptions for codes and links.
There is another playlist on my channel which is all Dr Kruse interviews (uncensored but less profane than some).

If you are unhealthy or have a chronic condition and want to try something for free which may very well be the answer for you, this is what I recommend you do. Get yourself to the tropics for at least 3 weeks (within 20 degrees latitude), get some sensible sun exposure throughout the day starting with sunrise, without getting burnt, reset your circadian rhythm. Get the sun in your eyes (don’t look directly at the sun) and on your skin. Your skin is your solar panel for your brain and body. Drink deuterium depleted water. Get your bare-feet in direct contact with the earth. ‘Make like the Sphinx’, Jack says. You want to have a good redox potential. Redox is your ability to hold a charge (electrons), you want a net negative charge to be healthy.
Tina, I am sorry to hear of your insomnia, and going on for so long. I still remember meeting you back in 2011. If you can (and this goes for anyone who wants good health), get sunlight on your stomach and on the back of your calf muscles. We have proopiomelanocortin (POMC) there and it is your internal pharmacy for the production of melatonin, dopamine and seratonin amongst others (aromatic amino acids), which is triggered by the DC electric current of sunlight. Another pharmacy is in your head which needs the light of sunrise to go into your eyes to be properly activated. Maybe you don’t have a genetic issue, but just have an atrophied system due to a lack of sunlight and being blue light toxic. Blue light suppresses melatonin. Use flux on the computer but a better one is Iris as it also gets rid of flicker (which messes with your brain) which you have to pay for but maybe that is worth it? I use Iris. You can also turn on the red colour filter on your smart phone, there are guides online how to. Microsoft computers have an inbuilt thing called ‘Night light’ – not the ideal but better than nothing, turn it all the way up. Also look into getting blue-light blocking glasses. You want 3 lens: yellow is for daytime , orange if for after sunset and before dawn , and red is for 1 or 2 hours before bed . If you don’t have any blue lights on at night then you don’t need to have the glasses on. Have all wifi and bluetooth turned off at night when sleeping and limit it as much as possible during the day – use ethernet cables. If you are carrying your phone on your body, have it in airplane mode. Even on airplane mode, don’t have it near your body when sleeping, it is still emiting some emf. Steve Jobs would not allow his kids to have the Apple products he was selling.
See every sunrise and sunset everyday for the rest of your life and get some midday sun. Doing this at least 80% of the time will be good enough. Do it even if cloudy, the uv still comes through. This sets your main body clock, the Supra-Chiasmatic Nucleus (SCN) and regulates the other clocks in the body, your circadian rhythm. Build up your ‘solar callus’, your ability to spend time in the sun without getting burned. Early morning sun prepares your skin for the higher uv later in the day. When you’ve had enough sun, go in the shade. If your job has you indoors, have several sun breaks during the day. Don’t wear sunglasses unless you have to temporarily.
Keep in mind, sunlight through glass is another form of blue light, so have the window cracked even just a little bit to let sunlight in, including in the car. Use non-blue lights at night and have them lower than eye level if you can.
Nature or the creator made us hard wired to be addicted to the sun as beta-endorphins are released when sunlight hits your skin. Your red blood cells are like little satellite dishes absorbing the electrons to then carry them around the body. When in sunlight, your ATPase production lowers as you are getting electrical charge direct from the sun, we are designed to be solar powered. In the 60’s, Robert O Becker (author of The Body Electric – which Jack recommends amongst others) found that bone emits light. Jack talks about cold makes the body emit ultra-low uvc light for warming.
Did you know that your mitochondria do their own version of photosynthesis? It is the reverse of the process that plants do – humans and plants are a coupled system. Just as light and dark cycles are a coupled system – we need both to be healthy. Your bodies healing and repair systems (autophagy and apoptosis) are active when you sleep – so you need total dark and quiet, use blockout curtains/blinds or an eyemask.
There is an app you can get called dminder pro which will help estimate your vitamin D levels based on your sun exposure. When I started I was at about 37 nmol/litre, just recently I hit the 100 mark. Dr Jack recommends having at least 100+, some others say 60 is enough. I think it wise to have extra in the bank in case you go through a period of not being able to get much sunlight. Cancer is correlated with low vitamin D levels. Sunlight is correlated to longevity and lower all cause mortality. One of the worse things of lockdowns was stopping people getting in the sun.
Studies showing uv is harmful are probably biased by studying uv on its own when in nature it comes with the full spectrum of light.
Near-infrared light therapy will turn off the sympathetic nervous system (turning on para-sympathetic system), for wound/injury healing, atrophy. Stimulates energy production from mitochondria and increases oxygenation. I have not seen Jack cover this but I know from experience using the classical Buteyko method that increasing the amount of CO2 in your body is very healing and allows your cells to respirate aerobically which is much more energy efficient than anaerobically. You need a certain amount of CO2 for you cells to absorb oxygen. Chronic deep breathing and mouth breathing releases too much CO2. Only ever breathe through your nose. Use medical tape at night to keep your mouth closed. This alone vastly improved my health before I found out about the health benefits of the sun and detriments of blue light. Rebounding on a mini trampoline is good for detoxing and clearing your lymphatic system and toning muscles but watch you get a good one where the mat stays flat as you bonce so it won’t hurt your ankles or knees.
If you have an injury or an ill part of the body, get it in the sun. Likewise, protect that part of the body from blue-light. Be fully clothed if under blue-light. Women may find it helps with your cycle to get sunlight on your stomach. Avoid night shift work if you can – seriously consider changing jobs if you are in that boat, your health is more important than almost anything, isn’t it?
Try to eat food from your local area, it has the barcode of the sun in it. Eating food from the other side of the world is a circadian mis-match. Your mitochondria get confused when the light signal in the food does not match the light signal in your eyes and on your skin. This confusion causes illness, inflammation. If eating lots of carbs/fruit then you need a lot of sunlight. Avoid seed oils.
Don’t go to a blue-light gym to exercise – do it outdoors in the sun. Recently the surgeon general of Florida made an announcement about the covid ‘countermeasures’ and included in that was mention of spending time outdoors to get vitamin D. Dr Jack recommends sunlight if you took those countermeasures, and also recommends against taking supplements (which may not be bio-available anyway) for things your body can make if you get in the sun. He also recommends building up the mitochondria in your heart and brain rather than in having big muscles (hypertrophy) – for longevity.
I can say I feel much better, happier and stronger and am sleeping and able to think better after implementing all these changes. I would rather be healthy and have longevity with aging skin than die too soon of something preventable. If using the sun correctly though (full spectrum light, not uv on its own) I think the aging affects might not be so bad. I feel incredibly blessed to know about the religion of the sun, the health benefits of the sun and of CO2. Any one of them on their own is an incredible find, finding all 3 is a miracle.
All the best to everyone with your health and healing journeys!
Amazing David !! 👏🏼 thank you for sharing that information and your seasoned experience with it.
Will see what I can implement from it. To activate the body’s mechanisms properly.
David thanks so much for this thorough synopsis of Dr Kruse’s work! I was going to point to him (maybe already did?) regards the use of sunscreen but with no where near as much of a thorough understanding of his work as you obviously have. I found him in a similar way – realised he is the teacher of the teachers in the field and felt he had so much integrity that I had a trust for him straight away. I can’t follow a lot of his explanations – OK most – but love listening to them because it’s so “quantum”! He obviously knows what he’s talking about and practices what he preaches too – try finding an interview without him shirtless the sun! It’s also just beautiful to realise how much our body, as well as our soul, craves the sun, thrives from it, is healed by it and is governed by it.
I had already figured out that I need to be outside as much as possible (fine by me) and had heard about the benefits of eating seasonally, but Kruse really made me try to implement it more “if you eat a banana in winter in Canada, you’re an idiot!”, he doesn’t mince his words and it makes so much ‘simple sense’ (as opposed to science sense, but probably that too) that we need to bring into our body things that resonate with its environment. I’ve just never really thought that it all comes down to light. But that makes so much sense too.
Have you heard of that German doctor Joanaa Budwig who apparently used a mix of sun exposure, with a linseed and cheese mix, to cure cancer? It’s much debunked but I think her reasoning is sound and anecdotal evidence strong. She talked about how much the sun healed and how linseed has this special property that helps us bring light into the body. Some research shows linen cloth is incredibly healing too.
I also stopped taking any synthetic supplement because I realised from Kruse’s explanation of how synthetic vitamin D actually stops your body synthesizing its own and can really damage your eyes, that I just don’t know enough about how these things interact with my biology to ever be sure I’m helping and not harming (it started to feel suss when it was being pushed so hard in the UK by the mainstream media as a magic bullet). Now I take some high-quality cod liver oil, like my ancestors would have, during the winter and that’s it. I think sometimes when you start to reject pharmaceutical medicine you still take that mind-set into the ‘natural health’ world and think that the more supplements you take the better it’s going to get. At least I certainly did.
Alex and I have been thinking about visiting India this winter where it’s sunny and warm, partly for the inspiration and partly for the sunshine! Trying to analyse it on a health-level (without the value of the experience, though maybe they’re too entwined to separate) I get confused between the benefit of the sun and the grounding vs the breaking of the natural seasonal ‘circadian rhythm’ where winter is a valuable period of rest that allows you to replenish yourself. So it’s interesting what you mention about using travel to hot places for healing … it might tip the decision!
I have one niggly question that I can’t google! Why get light on the back of your calves? The stomach/solar plexus area makes sense … but the calves?
Huge thanks again, I hope this will introduce many more people to the brilliant Dr Kruse and that people’s health and love and appreciation for the sun will blossom.
Hi Ella! I have not heard of that lady with the cancer cure method. I don’t follow or remember all ‘uncle Jack’s’ technical explanations but I get a gist from them. He is interesting to listen to if you can put aside the strong personality and at least in the shirtless interviews you generally only see him from the shoulders up. He walks what he talks. The thing is, the older you get the more sunlight you need according to him as your heteroplasmy rate goes up as you age. I agree he has high integrity, such a rare and valuable thing especially for a doctor not driven by the ‘BigHarma” incentives (‘incentives determine outcomes’). The ‘natural’ supplement world is just another company wanting to sell products – its just marketing. I think 3 weeks away in the sun during your winter time is no problem in terms of seasonal circadian rhythm, particularly if it is to reset your health. Yo can ’embrace the cold’ when you get back! Avoid flying on Boeing 787 planes due to lack of enough shielding from radiation according to Dr Jack.
Yes it is interesting that area of the body is also referred to as the solar plexus. You have POMC there but you also have POMC in the back of your calves. All the best to you and Alex.
Jack Kruse reported that his YouTube channel was removed today! There are still those interviews available that other people have done with him, but it’s insane that his information is being censored.
Thanks for that insight into the Boeing planes David, will try to avoid! I guess getting into shorts as soon as the temperature allows is pretty important too then … All the best, and lots of sunshine, to you and Dara :-)
Yes I saw that Ella , I think that goes to show he is over the target and they don’t like it. He has been suppressed for 20 years. See one of his latest interviews, on the Danny Jones podcast, you will get an education on some important history regarding M*ultra, casinos, JFK, the rollout of the polio vaccine and on issues surrounding 23andme. You will also hear an incredible story about him saving a young girls life, he tears up a bit so he does have a soft side afterall!
Hi David, Tina and everyone,
yes, indeed, the light from the sun and its natural healing properties being rediscovered. There are layers to sun light – a physical one (light, natural EMF, warmth, healing properties, etc), and a metaphysical/spiritual one (which is being revealed more and more on this platform and the work done by Sakro Sawel).
Our overall lifestyle choices/habits are definitely affecting our health, our mind and body connection too. I think our inner world or phyche/spirit also becomes affected by these choices in ways we may overlook or ignore with our left/logical mind.
I too have made many of the discoveries you mention in your post David, and have had to make lifestyle changes in order to facilitate better health. I also would like to encourage anyone interested to explore options – as David has pointed out – in order to improve your situation. In turn it can improve our outlook and our spiritual focus (speaking from personal experience here).
I’ve come across a guy called Dr Jabob Lieberman who talks about sunlight and its benefits. Here is his link in case anyone wanted to check him out https://www.jacobliberman.org
He has written books on the topic and done many talks too – here’s an example of one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3HekrOSkg
There’s a product called ‘Block Blue Light’ available for indoor lighting and glasses, etc to help with setting sleep patterns and also to minimise the effect of blue light exposure from computer screens, mobile phones and other screen devices.
There are even many products for minimising exposure to nnEMF (or man made EMFs) from sources such as wifi, bluetooth, mobile phones, smart devices, etc. Best to ‘wire up’ or use ethernet cables (as you say David) and to reduce your exposure overall. Sleep deprivation/insomnia is one of the main symptoms or effects from these man made EMF sources, the other is headaches, fatigue, brain fog…the list can go on…
Eating according to the season and local produce is another good but simple strategy. You put it well David when you say it carries the energy of the area you live in. No confusion for the body. The quality of that food and the quality of the water also have an impact on health,
Getting full spectrum light exposure – by way of sunlight – is ideal and the best way to get health on track – simple and accessible. I was aware of exposing the abdomen/stomach area to the sun, but I didn’t know about exposing our calf muscles to the sun – I’m going to try that one!
There is much to be said about our ‘modern lifestyle’ as it seems so unnatural, however, our spiritual connection to it is just as important and perhaps more significant for us overall. The Sun in its physical form can be used to remind us of our ‘grass roots’ and to expand into a more spiritual connection with it too.
hi Dimi, I’ve seen Dr Lieberman in the side bar but haven’t checked him out as yet but intended too.
Yes we are good customers of blockbluelight.com.au, we got glasses from Bon Charge and from Viva Rays.
It was interesting to read all of this, David! It’s always so exciting when we find something that works for us and want so much that others also learn about it too. I have definitely felt that often, on so many levels..
I feel there’s a lot of sense in all of this and as I’m trying to implement the advice given here, I’m finding that maybe I am blue light sensitive/allergic (was always trying to stay away from the direct exposure to it), as im very sensitive to quite a few synthetic things we are surrounded with, anyway.
I’ve got the salt lamp (thanks Ella for the reminder) and use only candle light with it after the sunset. Also got the f.lux on the phone. I think there’s definitely a link because ive noticed a slight improvement in sleep but need more time to see how it is affecting me long term. I will implement other things such as changing all of the light bulbs and will get those glasses for blocking the blue light and see what happens…
I feel we all get diseases for different reasons and so need to emphasise different aspects of the healing process related to what we need to change within and without. I found that, every physical issue is related to something we need to tackle psychologically/spiritually and perhaps, following the Sun’s path in this journey also, we connect ourselves more to the wisdom and inspiration within..
David, Ella, some things Kruse says are backed by scientific studies, some things are speculative/theoretical – they could end up being partly or completely wrong.
I believe we should always be careful when giving health advice as there are so many factors since we’re all different, and ideally people should get professional medical advice and do what’s best for themselves.
Hi Jon, when he is being speculative or theorising I’ve seen him state that he is doing so. He often says do your own research to fact check him. He refers to many scientists and their work in his interviews all the time. He openly admits he might not always be correct on everything.
Everyone can use their own discernment and make their own careful decisions, and I agree indeed they should, without having to point that out to them, that’s everyone”s own responsibility.
Having watched many of his interviews and then tried it myself for several months and experienced the benefits, I can now attest to Dr Kruse’s professional advice and others to get sensible sunlight exposure (whatever level that means for you) and avoid nn-emf/blue light as being worthwhile. I find it hard to dispel and can’t see how others doing the same would not benefit also. Everyone is free to regard this with suspicion if they want.
I am not out in the sun all day long but I’m purposefully getting more sun than I was but especially the sunrise almost everyday. I don’t let myself get burned.
I do not know if the lowering of earth’s magnetic field is letting in more cosmic radiation or through the ozone hole over Antartica. Even so I still need some sun.
I hope the light grows within, literally and spiritually, for all.
Fritz Popp, whom Jack references, has shown we are beings of light.
https://prlabs.com/blog/biophoton-fritz-albert-popp.html
Hi David, I really like this notion about humans being the beings of light… Even with all the ego-clouds and ego-filters on our psyche that cause us to see things in skewed ways and therefore react improperly too, I feel we are still, indeed, the beings of light, that under all that rubbish is the LIGHT – our true self. I also liked this quote from Dr. Fritz-Albert Popp from the link you gave:
“We know today that man, essentially, is a being of light. And the modern science of photobiology … is presently proving this. In terms of healing, the implications are immense. We now know, for example, that quanta of light can initiate, or arrest, cascade-like reactions in the cells, and that genetic cellular damage can be virtually repaired, within hours, by faint beams of light…”
It made me think that maybe that is also how the higher beings/angels heal? At least partially? To change the light properties of the beings of light/humans, using their own, more powerful light maybe, in order to heal us… Like for example how the healing with hands happens? I saw a higher being in the astral just put their hands on my neck to unblock my salivary glands that had a stone. After waking up, the stone was gone… We also have healing with hands here in physical, even though not so powerful. All this seems to me like something that works with Light/energy, even though I don’t know how.
That’s wonderful Lucia!
Regards the orange lightbulbs, I’m not sure if that coloured coating would stop the LED light from being damaging … can you still get those incandescent lightbulbs in Slovenia?
David, it’s good Kruse mentions he is speculating when he does so. It wasn’t always clear from your post what could be and what wasn’t speculation.
I’m very happy you’ve found benefits following a particular regimen. Health is a very personal thing – what works for one may not work for all, especially considering the intricacies of everyone’s individual circumstances, and the unknowns in the health realm and emerging theories.
To be clear, I’m personally all for being outside for sunrise, sunset, and throughout the day, grounding, limiting blue light and getting darkness at night (like others commenting having come across this myself from various sources), among other things. I really want everyone to have the best of health, and make the best decisions for themselves.
Hi Jon, I don’t really put much weight on scientific studies if I’m honest. I don’t have the training to actually understand real science papers, I have tried! I’m also not that interested because I’ve come across lots of people providing evidence of scientific fraud through manipulation of stats, data omission, experiment design that skews outcome, and generally what topics get funding and by whom. So I’m pretty disheartened by “scientific studies” now and lean more towards a sense of my own logic and intuition regards who to listen to and what’s important for me to pay attention to and implement. I choose people to act like mediators for me who can explain the gist of the science in a language I can understand and who can also understand when studies are useless because they’re essentially corrupted. Kruse seems to me to have integrity and actually be providing information because he’s a real doctor (apparently the word comes from Latin for teacher) and isn’t going to win financially.
If you look at the history of medicine there’s one side of the story that goes: naturopaths, herbalists and homeopaths and traditional energy medicines like acupuncture have been demoted since the rise of Rockafeller medicine and petro-chemical pharmaceuticals, which captured the health industry through the education and legal system. The scientific studies we have been told are the gold standard are often just part of this manipulated monopoly. I don’t think our traditional modalities of healing were replaced by something superior and more scientific, it seems it was a tragic move away from real health (going hand in hand with changes in the food industry, often the emergence of new ‘wonder foods’ like seed oils came backed up with plenty of scientific studies and then managed to drag people’s health down to a new low while making billions for the manufacturers) and certainly away from a person-centred, individualised medical model, which I’m totally for and glad you brought up, it’s an important part. I didn’t mean to give the impression I was giving blanket medical advice. Everyone is a unique landscape of energies and needs tailored medical management for ill-health. Saying that we’re all human and all thrive under similar ingredients and influences – good clean food is going to benefit everyone, what kind of food that is is person-specific. I think the sun must be good for everyone, the amount is unique.
I’ve had times where I was very sensitive to light and would get migraines even if indoor lighting was too bright, so I’d basically wear sunglasses all the time. Fortunately that’s in the past :)
Even simple questions like “is fasting healthy” are so complex with so much conflicting information, I feel like the only way to reliably be healthy is to listening to your own body and intelligence.
Definitely going to try some of these things, particularly around lighting.
Thank you Lara and team for the video, the article, the interesting and practical comments and everything else!
It seems a lot! Is there a way I can help?
Best wishes 😊
Regarding The Spiritual Mother, I recommend this documentary on Our Lady of Guadalupe. Luckily I could find it dubbed in English.
https://youtu.be/2lA5NUHqC88
The Virgin of Guadalupe is arguably the most venerated deity in Mexican Catholicism. In retrospect to my childhood, I think catholicism here has a polytheistic taste because of the many different deities that are venerated, In part due to propaganda but The Virgin of Guadalupe I now consider very distinctive because of all the miracles involved in her apparition and what it entailed.
The Basilica of Guadalupe holds a record of 11 million people attending during the festivity of The Virgin of Guadalupe making it, I think, one of the biggest celebrations to The Spiritual Mother in our current times.
For the longest time, I underestimated the veneration for her for my whole life but now I can feel and understand it in a very different way. I’ve never really had a strong affinity for venerating images and I think that has in part prevented me from creating a shrine but I inherited a 30′ tall statue of Tonantzin de Guadalupe from my lovely grandmother so I’m going to make one now. Also, the waterlily jaguar speaks strongly to me, I have to investigate more on that.
Lastly, I would like to share a variation of the Incantation of The Spiritual Sun that I just called “Prayer to the Spiritual Sun”, It is simple and it sums up what I find myself asking for the most but I’ve noticed that calling on the sun with this structure is very lifting. I hope there’s no issue with it and if so, please let me know and I’ll take it down 🙏🏽

Hi Marco,
your prayer is simple, yet contains the words which resonate well for revering the Spiritual Sun.
The documentary you posted about the Lady of Guadalupe is quite intriguing too. Lots of symbolism in the print itself (as explained as proof of it’s meaning or origin) and lots of investigation into the authenticity of the story (which can often be downplayed as myth or untrue with the passing of time). Yet I have come across many stories that have been relayed as proof or evidence that there is a Divine Feminine.
In my tradition, Panayia (ie Madonna or Virgin Mary) is a representation of the Divine Feminine and she has been celebrated and revered often throughout the year. There are many prayers written to her, many sermons also, that call upon her for protection, guidance, help, etc. and also many miracles attributed to her. People pilgrimage to certain locations seeking a miracle from her or to pray or to give thanks. Despite this reverence, it also seems there has been an active effort to obscure her role or to wipe out her significance in our spiritual journey.
Honouring her and developing a deeper understanding of her significance is fundamental and key to my/our spiritual progress – at least that is what I have discovered and I am certain others have come to that conclusion also.
Hello, Dimi. Hope you are doing well.
Pilgrimates to the Virgin of Guadalupe are pretty serious here in México, some undergo penance for long distances before reaching the Basilica.
Regarding her importance as you mentioned, the “Holy Mother of God” prayer is chanted in funerals here (maybe that’s a catholic tradition thing? I don’t know). I’ve never paid proper attention to it and it seems very fitting for us alive trying to die in an esoteric sense.
“… Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen”
Regarding the autumn equinox season, I noticed an interesting correlation. México is a pretty violent country and there’s a lot of criminal activity, 4 of the top five most violent cities in the world are in México as of 2024 according to World Population Review. I occurred that I started hearing about some crimes happening in the neighborhood and my ant mentioned that around this time of year is when crime increases which was interesting because number one, I had been struggling a lot with my own inner darkness these past months and had been feeling like the vibe an ambiance of the city was very heavy and number two because the autumn equinox was coming. Once Autumn arrived I felt much better like a sort of spiritual intervention happened because I was feeling awful and defeated in almost every way possible, one of those days I woke up and the very first thought that welcomed me into my body was “This work is just impossible”, that was a rough day of battle from the very first second of the day but Autumn has helped shift things and I got to perceive the event in a spiritual way in my self that I had not before. Anyway, I looked into crime rates by month and most of what I found presented crime rates throughout the years but this page from the Colorado Division of Criminal Justice shows a Quarterly Crime Trends Report exactly like I was looking for and to my amazement, most of the graphics show a peak of crime in the 3rd quarter! I think this graphic represents exactly how I felt coming out of the summer solstice and the increase in difficulty in fighting my inner darkness, it felt like it was boiling intensely inside.
I thought this was fascinating and I just wanted to share it with you guys 😅
Quarterly Crime Trends Report:
https://dcj.colorado.gov/dcj-offices/ors/doc-res/brf-quartY24Q1
I’ve gone through the new video several times, as there’s a lot to absorb. One thing that stood out to me was the mention of Ra facing the serpent Apep. I thought it was interesting, as I had some dreams of a similar nature some years ago, before I’d heard about this legend.
I also find it interesting that sometimes in dreams, our response to situations can be much stronger than we’d think, in comparison to our daily actions. We know it’s common to see poor actions in dreams when we first try to improve ourselves psychologically and spiritually, unless we’ve put in a continued effort to reduce similar responses in daily life.
But it’s nice to sometimes also see the opposite, where something that would create much terror if it actually happened in daily life, such as a life threatening situation, seems to be met with a determination to succeed, or even nonchalance when it appears in a dream.
Although there can still be an initial apprehension in response to these unusual situations in dreams, it may quickly be overridden by a strength that seems uncharacteristic, based on our impression of ourselves in daily life.
These types of dreams still appear rarely of course, or at least for me. But it’s nice when they do crop up, as they can give a reassurance that even if things seem to be going badly day to day, or circumstances are far from ideal, there can be an internal strength and determination beneath the surface, which isn’t readily seen by others or even ourselves.
Interesting, Michael, you are mentioning this strength that you found yourself to have in dreams but not being aware of it in daily life. I had some similar experiences where i would fight an entity with so much strength and determination in the astral after a vicious attack but feel if I see the same here would be probably very scared.
This reminds me of some evidence of the souls, through various means, and where it has been discovered that a person’s soul doesn’t necessarily have the same characteristics as in life as in each life we take on somewhat different character traits in order to come to a deeper understanding of different kinds of characteristics and responses that a human can have. Sometimes I have some experiences where that is pointed out to me,such as when I saw a person being caught by police to be taken to a prison. I just stood opposite to this and for a moment felt what that person felt very strongly and I immediately knew that ‘now I know what it feels like for this freedom to be taken away’ – that was what that person was obviously having in their mind in that moment..
Also, in regards to what you’re saying about being somewhere else on our spiritual path but not being aware of it here. I think that too is related to our soul’s strength and also feel it’s deliberately done so that we don’t get too overwhelmed with what we have achieved over there as there’s a lot more to do…
Another fantastic video packed with meaningful information and beautiful visuals!
While all the videos have been great, I think this was the best yet in terms of production values and quality.
The visuals were really excellent as many have mentioned. But I also think the sound design was next-level in this: the choices in music, the sound effects, and the editing—bringing the music volume up just right times, going silent at the right times. Working in tandem with the visuals, it really contributed to creating an otherworldly atmosphere that transports you.
I also think the script was excellent in providing comprehensive information, yet being concise enough to be digestible and to fall within what I think is probably an ideal runtime for this kind of documentary style video, which isn’t easy. It is very “balanced” in that regard, which is appropriate given this is about the Equinox :-)
Thank you Lara and Mark for all the work you do in bringing this information back, and to everyone involved in working on this, a really outstanding job!
I hope everyone had a spiritually insightful and meaningful equinox wherever you may be :-)
Thanks very much for the feedback Matthew. I feel like everyone on the team, myself included, are gradually learning and improving with each video, which is great, because it means that a video production team is emerging.
I also feel like we have a big task, as not only do we need to tackle a subject, but these subjects are often obscure or unique. So rather than making a video about a subject that is popular, we are often making videos about subjects that there is either no, or hardly any, existing commentary on. So it is to break new ground in many ways, and I think we can expect that things will be slow at first, but over time it will surely gain momentum as people start to discover and find an interest in these new and emerging fields.
Hi Lara,
the quality of production and the content is definitely at a new level – higher and higher each time. It is apparent in the actual videos an reflective of the final production.
Up and onwards!
Thanks a lot for this video Lara and everyone! It’s been great to set the tone for the equinox and help reflect on the soul’s journey at this time of year, and overall.
The nine day celebrations of Durga Puja and Mehregan (if I am not mistaken) stood out. I’ve never celebrated the autumn equinox for so long afterword, partly because it’s a busy time, but also because I always interpreted solar alignments at the equinoxes to be very short-term. I mean, solar alignments on the equinoxes last a very short period of time due to sunrise/sunset moving so fast along the horizon at those times of year. It’s different from solstice alignments where the sun stands still and the alignment is valid for quite a few days. I guess the nine day celebrations are not stemming out of sacred sites, but rather are creating their own symbology through the celebration.
Durga Puja is celebrated for nine days, as were the Greater Mysteries of the Eleusinian Mysteries. I personally think there is a lot of scope to have days of celebration around the main ceremony. Otherwise, it feels like these times pass too quickly to fully absorb and appreciate.
Happy Equinox everyone!
Great video Lara and Mark – thank you immensely for the ‘decoding’ of the Autumn Equinox meaning and for the explanation of forgotten spiritual truths related to this time of the year.
Thank you also for the revival of such important spiritual times too.
Also thank you to the team for making this video possible.
Thank you for another amazing video Lara and everyone involved. It feels very important somehow, in the sense of humanity’s understanding of the symbolism of this event. That it is not some sort of weird celebration of darkness, but a reminder of the importance of the inner descent, so that we can extract the light/knowledge from it.
Some really beautiful and meaningful imagery too, light the mysterious look of the fire-tending priestess at 1:45 – a really cool sequence! 😊
I also really appreciate the information about the alignment of the descending passage of the Great Pyramid to the brightest star of the Pleiades – Alcyone, as I have never heard about it before. It made me wonder again, what is the significance of Pleiades for our planet, and why exactly Alcyone was chosen to align to in this special way – being 90 degrees from the descending passage – how would that be utilised? Could it serve like some sort of assurance for the descending candidate, knowing that Alcyone was all the time right above them, even though they could not see it? (or maybe in the astral they could see it sometimes?) Then Thuban at the end of the passage, that one would be visible only once the person started ascending the passage, as a bright marker of heaven/North pole perhaps, to help the person to keep their goal in sight? The great pyramid is indeed so rich in meaning, it seems to have different sections for different stages on the Path of the Sun, what an amazing structure… Now thinking of the tourists pouring there all the time, its really ridiculous. But in the same time, they can’t really damage its internal meaning and the astral use, even if its physical use for initiations has been discontinued.
In the end, I hope everyone had a meaningful and inspiring Equinox! Here in Slovenia we had a beautiful and warm weather, so we managed to do a ceremony in our sacred circle with my husband and a friend who is also interested in the Religion of the Sun. Its been a while since we did a more structured one, and so it was nice to ponder on and implement different symbols into it, according to Mark’s explanations in the book. I am also really looking forward to the planned videos about how to celebrate these times of the year, those should be very inspiring. 🔥
Hi Lucia,
Interesting that you’ve mentioned about the Pleadies. This group of stars seem to have some kind of significance in a many cultures and traditions, including Arabs who follow the religion of Islam which generally condemns the worshipping of elements in nature instead of the One God as most Abrahamic religions do. They refer to the Pleadies as al-najm (lit. the star par excellence),and their prophet Muhammad is also said to have mentioned the Pleadies a few times in their scriptures. The image of the Pleadies can also be found on the logo of Subaru the car brand. It does seem like it really has a kind of significance in human culture in general. As for Thuban and the constellation Draco, I found out that at some point over tens of thousands millions years ago Thuban was the North Star seen from Earth. It used to occupy the nothern celestial pole as Polaris in Ursa Minor does today. However it is due to the precession of the Earth’s axis that our view of the sky changes with time, and in another ten of thousands years or so the North Star will again be a different star from now. The North Star also has a special role to some ancient cultures, because it is located at the northern celestial pole,it is considered to be the head of the stars sometimes. I think there were some decriptions in early Chinese records on how the North Star is is like the head or ruler of all stars, as all stars appear to orbit around it. The North Star to the stars is just like the Emperor to the people of ancient China on earth. I don’t remember if there’s a mention to the precession phenomenon but that’s the importance they attributed to the North Star. To people lived tens of thousands of years ago the constellation Draco would have been located right around the northern celestial pole, if that position in the sky was viewed as some sort of important place, it would make sense for ancient cultures to use a dragon or a serpent as a representation of the obstacle that lies in one’s way of spiritual quest.
Thank you, Lara and the team, for another insightful and inspiring video. We are truly fortunate to have access to such abundant resources on the Religion of the Sun, for which I’m sure many are deeply grateful. With all the effort you. Mark and the team put into research, writing, filming, and sharing your work freely, I hope you’re also finding time to rest.
In this video, your interpretation of the Labyrinth and Minotaur story particularly resonated with me, especially your explanation of Ariadne’s thread, which gave me a whole new perspective.
Wishing everyone an uplifting and meaningful time during the equinox, and thank you again for all your incredible work.
Very, very beautiful production. I love the solemn, mysterious mood with the music, and indeed the graphcis and animations with the Minoan priestesses are breathtaking. You keep setting the bar higher with each video!
It’s hard to wrap my mind around how the Giza pyramids and Sphinx encode such a vast wealth of knowledge. Your tying it into the solstices and equinoxes, the path of the Spiritual Sun, ancient initiations, is truly ground breaking, and I’m looking forward to learning more.
Feeling inspired and uplifted to celebrate the autumn equinox. Wishing you and Mark, and everyone, a peaceful, meaningful, light-filled time.
Thank you Laura. Yes, you wouldn’t know there is so much encoded in the Sphinx and Pyramids just by looking at them. Once you start to realize how much is, you become overawed at the design and engineering that went into them. It’s quite extraordinary that they are the most famous site on Earth, and yet none of this is widely known.
I have not seen the video yet, but I’m looking forward to. All four completed 👏🏼 that must feel good. Thank you for doing that and props to the whole team.
Wishing everyone meaningful days and events at this time of the equinox, and to keep going strong 🙏🏼
It does feel like a major task completed. Thanks to the team and to everyone who supported us (who are part of the team too!).
Yes, let’s keep going strong.
Yes, I agree it’s a major task completed Lara. It reminds me of when you and Mark first completed the cycle of articles on the solstices and equinoxes, which were ground breaking at the time and have only grown in their depth since.
A big thanks to you and all involved in making the video. I’ve listened to it four times through and there’s still a lot to absorb.
The visual aspect is stunning again, like with the last videos. There’s a lot of talent in the small team who put the image and video sequences together. The AI creations are now so realistic that I often wouldn’t be able to tell whether the creations such as the Minoan priestesses are actual people or not!
There’s much to reflect on here, so I think I’ll need to go through the video another few times to fully absorb its content.
Wishing you and everyone reading a peaceful equinox.
Thank you Lara, I wish to everyone an inspired equinox!!
I think that experience really felt like myself falling into a period of darkness or cold winter, and coming out of it having a better understanding on certain things. I believe that was part of my personal journey, and I thought I should share them because it may have some relevance to the topic of this video. The way I like to describe my experience is literally “I fell, and I came back up. ” The nightmares I had on Yomi and the Yokais likely didn’t represent anything related to death,since I wasn’t facing anything life-threatening situation. But more likely represented the state of being I was in at the day. When I got through it I was like “I came out of it”.
Another piece of great work that Lara and her team have done! As always, I really appreciate the efforts being put into making such ancient knowledge available to us and easy to understand! This video resonates with me personally in particular because there used to be a period of time in my life where I was facing great difficulties, it was definitely not a pleasant experience to deal with them, and I had to face a lot of negative emotions such as anxiety and depression,I also suffered from insomnia which could be a really mentally painful experience, there were times where I had nightmares of going to somewhere I believed to be Yomi(the underworld in Japanese mythology), and I saw some horrible things like Yokais. I thought I had these nightmares simply because I was in such a negative state of mind at the time that’s why I dreamt about these things,but after watching this video I think there might had been a deeper meaning to that. During that time it was definitely very hard for me and I remembered I had very little positive spiritual experience, it seemed as if all spiritual lights had withdrawn from me. I cannot describe how difficult for me it was to try to go through this period of great disturbance and difficulty, there were moments that I just felt helpless, and thought to myself that the end of the world was coming. When I finally got through this I felt stronger as a person and I came to understand things which I didn’t know before. Now thinking back to it I feel that it might not had been coincidental or was just some random events that I went through, but more like some kind of test that I had been put through for me to learn and grow. There were times where I questioned the seemingly negative aspects of life as well as existence, but now I think they all have a purpose. At this time of the year,where the days are getting shorter and weather getting colder, I think it’s a good opportunity to reflect on the meaning and purposes of darkness,the seemingly negative aspects of existence. It is only by defeating your inner darkness can you learn and grow. A great takeaway from contemplating on the spiritual meaning of the fall equinox!
There is still a lot that could be discussed about this particular experience of mine. However many of the details regarding it are personal therefore I prefer keeping them to myself. But in this experience I know the negative emotions such as the anxiety and depression I faced was stemmed from a crack or flaw within my own personality that I had,and this period of time the circumstances around just brought me face to face with my own weakness and vulnerability. I was aware that this flaw inside of me had been with me for a long time, but it was during that time where I had to face it like an inner enemy to be defeated. If my imperfection was buried deep down within me before,then it was being brought out fully and I had to fight it. After getting overr this time of difficulty in my life I felt that I had a better understanding of myself and how to better deal with these flaws in my own mind.
That’s excellent Emily – that you were able to see this flaw within yourself, that was not only something present, but had been with you a long time, and that you understood how it was the particular circumstances that brought it to your attention.
Our usual reaction is to focus on what’s wrong with the circumstance we’re in, or wrong with how other people have acted etc., and to see that solely as what needs fixing, rather than ourselves. It’s difficult to learn a different approach. But you did it.
The ‘Maya’ or darkness that we have each enmeshed ourselves in, is the very thing we need to learn from.
Well said Lara. I think as the general saying goes, “You are your own enemy. ” The process of realizing and confronting one’s own inner darkness can always be difficult. And for a time I also used to blame the external circumstances for the situation I was in. I questioned everything and wondered what was the point of me going through all of that,I asked for divine guidance but that didn’t come as I wished, so for a time I felt really helpless. But eventually I realized that it was my own weakness that I needed to deal with and confront,and that was a turning point.
Another interesting fact about this experience is that my recovery period actually happened to have coincided with a period of time in a year where light and warmth returned to my part of the world after a dreadful long winter. It felt refreshing since the cold days were gone and spring had returned,and so did the positive things in my own life. I had a feeling of light returning to my life with the returning of light in the physical world at my part of the world. And I came out of that state of despair having learned things I didn’t before.
Hi Emily, I also have the feeling that difficult situations and circumstances in my life have happened according to plan. I could have done nothing to stop them because I didn’t see them coming, and some were caused by circumstances or people out of my control. I’ve reflected on if I could have changed the course of things but being at the stage I was, everything went exactly as it would have, based on my inner understanding and qualities at the time. I’ve felt that my life on the whole is happening according to plan. As you say, even the terrible difficulties in it are all exactly tailored to us as individuals to learn and grow, and hopefully become more wise and loving and stronger as a result, if we consciously use it to work on the flaws that they are causing to emerge.
I also kinda realized that these dark part of my Self are not actually part of who I really am(I don’t know if this description makes sense), but rather something that could be conquered. It was indeed more of an inner battle with myself more than anything else, and I’m just glad that I was able to come out of it having a better understanding of things.
Yes, that’s right – we’ve created these dark parts over many lives (human and animal) as part of our learning here, but they are not truly who we are, and are temporary. We learn from the suffering they cause us, but most of all, from overcoming them.
Thank you so much for your explanation Lara. It all makes sense to me now. I have heard about some of the stories you mentioned in the video before,but never thought they were symbolic representations of one’s battle with his/her own inner darkness! The monsters of the underworld in Ancient Egyptian legends,as well as the bull-headed monster in Greek mythology,they are all symbolic representations of ones own inner darkness. Perhaps so did the visions of Yomi and Yokais I saw in the nightmares I had. Speaking of that it also reminded me of a Shinto practice in Japan known as harai,which is the act of purifying oneself(such as washing one’s hands with water) before entering a shrine. The practice of purification may exist in many religions, but in Shintoism this practice is said to be have originated from Izanagi’s act of bathing himself in water upon returning from Yomi the underworld. Since the underworld is also often used to represent one’s inner darkness, could this practice also have a symbolic meaning of removing or washing off one’s own inner darkness in order to reach the higher planes where beings that came to be known as gods reside( Takamagahara/ Asgard/Heaven whatever you wanna call it?)?
I think that’s probably right. Most religions have laws and customs around cleanliness and purification , and I would wager that all of them originally meant inner cleanliness, and that it was a reminder to work on oneself. Jesus basically showed that, cleansing people of leprosy and demons, but saying that he really came to cleans sins (loosely paraphrased).
Ritual cleansing has much more meaning to me after understanding what inner cleansing is, and whenever I cleanse myself in a ritualistic way, I always ask for inner cleansing especially.
I watched this video a few more times and felt that it truly resonates with me and the message definitely speaks to me on a deeper level. I think the battle with the darkness within oneself describes it really well. Although I still don’t quite understand what is the Spiritual Mother goddess and what does she represent in this.
Maybe that understanding will come as you connect with her.
Just wanted to say I find your reaction now to this information quite inspiring Emily, thanks.
Because sometimes these ancient cultures can seem distant and the way of the sun’s seasons impersonal. Yes, interesting and intriguing to hear about, but not connected to us and what we face. But because you went through an inner journey of difficulties yourself you can so readily relate to it and connect it to yourself. Then those ancient mysteries become alive ⭐️ and personal (an inspiration, and a comfort to what you felt lonely in facing), like they are you too or you feel this affinity with those who had the spiritual within at that time. And you’re just eager to get closer to that, feel more of it, experience it. And contrary to what I used think we pretty much can, totally. (We might not have a time machine) Through the astral. Also through research. Through visiting ancient monuments and places. Prayer connection. In celebrating ans practicing together with others, we recreate.
It’s interesting to consider how it is that someone is able to get to that spark of personal connection?
Hi Karim,
I didn’t expect myself to relate to the topic of this video either. But when I watched it it just resonated with me so much since I had an experience like that. Ancient spiritual knowledge can seem distant and incomprehensible sometimes, but through learning about their deeper meanings and contemplating on them, as well as through numerous experiences,one can have a better understanding of them. There is a clear difference between understanding the information on a purely intellectual level and actually having an understanding on a personal level,it is through understanding on the personal level that one can actually progress spiritually as one walks his/her spiritual path. As for me I definitely feel more empowered than before after going through this experience, and I feel grateful that by going through this experience with a trial of difficulties made me realize the importance of confronting the darkness within myself.
As for the inspiration for one to make such a personal connection,the only explanation I can think of is that there had been a plan for me,I was being put through an experience like this on purpose by whoever maybe guiding me. This was an opportunity for me to learn and grow. Had I not experienced something like this,I may never have came to the realizations I made through this experience. As Lara said in her video,”it is only by knowing darkness that you get to know light” I have a mixed feeling towards that experience. It was definitely not fun while I was going through it,but it had been a great opportunity for me to learn and grow at the same time.
Hi Emily,
I just want to quote something from the ‘Ancient Solstice ‘ book where Mark writes about the meaning of the autumn equinox: “..it is especially relevant when going through difficult circumstances, as going through these can be a form of descent in one’s own life. Facing hardships can cause someone to descent into the chaos and darkness of their psyche, as reactions and turbulent emotions arise in response…. ,which don’t manifest in ordinary circumstances…. This kind of descent is necessary for gaining knowledge and transforming oneself within” This really puts things into perspective as often people chase around and wish for circumstances that will make them happy and ultimately as souls choose lives less challenging but it is evident that hardships are a very powerful tool for one’s inner development and progress. Imagine a life where everything you want just appears, you get things without much effort and everyone is loving and caring around you. I think there’s definitely some learning in that but the learning and wisdom you get from the hardships is nowhere near to that. What kind of reactions and emotional turmoil you get from those loving circumstances? I think it can lead to even more deception of the self and the world around us. So, whenever difficulties arise, i now treat them as something special, something so worthwhile I need to pay attention to how am I feeling around it and what can i get from it.
One thing, I want to say about insomnia, as I feel a lot of people are going through this. I did another experiment with this one as it’s something I’ve been going through for the most part of this life. So, I’ve been getting around on average 4 hours a night leaving me feeling dizzy and lightheaded, and that felt really difficult causing all sorts of reactions but then I just went into an awareness mode and all this physical difficulties ceased. It’s like I have this belief that if i don’t sleep 7 or 8 hours I won’t be able to go through the day and that was what made things more difficult and so instead I stopped these thoughts and kind of slid into the conscious part of me. It felt like there’s no other option, I either fall or I rise above it. I don’t know if this is applicable to anyone but maybe if we just try things can really turn around..
I’m sorry to hear you’ve been struggling with insomnia. I think it’s good that you identified the anxiety associated with it, as the fear of not being able to sleep can contribute to not being able to sleep.
But there is something I want to mention that may be of help. It’s that modern lights, as well as screens, largely emit blue light. The sun, together with the earth, creates a complex and changing spectrum of light over the course of the day, which regulates every process in our bodies, including telling our body when to sleep and when to be wakeful. The sun emits blue light in the middle part of the day, telling our brain and body to be awake. At sunset this largely turns to red, telling us to start relaxing and to go into a restful state ready for sleep. The problem is that we then go inside and turn on blue lights. So even though we know it’s time for bed, our brain is being told that it is midday. Then when people try to go to sleep, they can’t, or stay up very late into the night. We have changed our light bulbs for this reason, and try to use red light at night, and use programs that turn down the blue light on our computer screens. Getting in cycle with the sun as it turns out, is a number one priority for health.
That’s an interesting aspect Lara, thank you very much for sharing! I can certainly relate to not being able to sleep before midnight or even later, as I am so used to working with computer in the evenings/nights… Its just how things work out sometimes, after attending to various mundane duties during the days, the evening or night is finally a peaceful time when I can do something inspiring. I have been using a program called f.lux that a friend recommended to me, which changes the shining colour of the screen as the evening approaches, to a more natural colour for the eyes. But using different light bulbs is a new idea for me, will definitely look into it!
It would be nice if we didn’t have to work with computers at all, then everything would be much more natural and in line with the natural cycles, but I guess that’s a part of this Kali-Yuga time, and we just have to deal with it the best we can…
Hi Lucia,
Do you know if the app works for phones too? I don’t think the computer is a major problem for me, but I can spend quite a notable portion of my spare time on my phone scrolling through random things, and I don’t know about how to change the color of my phone screen. It would be nice to know if there is any software that could work for most of the devices that we use(i.e. phones, tablets, computers)
f.lux is the program I’m using – it’s a great free starter program for people wanting to get into this. Yes, it would be nice not to have to work with computers into the night. I try and work my routine as best I can so that I minimize time on the computer at night and do other chores, and especially try to get to bed early so I can be out at sunrise.
Hi Lara&Lucia,
I think you ladies really made a good point here. People back in ancient times didn’t really have computers and all the technology that we have today, so they lived their lives in accordance with the natural cycle of day and night. In Chinese we have a saying which literally means “work at sunrise and rest at sunset”. Which describes the way people used to live in ancient times. There is evidence that only up until contemporary times with the invention of lightbulbs and the advance of other electronic technologies that people have started to become more active at night, which can be not in line with the natural cycle. It used to be that people just went to sleep shortly after night falls,but now almost no one in the modern society does that anymore. We can all stay occupied by the electric lights as well as our devices, and the natural cycle of day and night has been largely forgotten. The modern lifestyle can bring many problems and can indeed lead to health issues in some people. If we could really minimize the affects of electronics devices at night and get up early enough to see sunrise, that could be a big step towards having a lifestyle in line with the natural cycle.
I have seen some articles which talk about the studies done on how technology, especially electronic devices can effect people. It seems like a lot of the things that we do in the modern world are not in line with the natural order, but that is one of the characteristics of this day and age. Wonder could there be any prophecy made during ancient times fortold this coming?
Hey Emily,
There are some color filter apps you can get for iphone / android which will adjust the colour of the light coming out of the screen. If you search for something like “f.lux android alternative” or “f.lux iphone alternative” there are some options you could try that people are talking about on reddit etc. There’s also the inbuilt accessibility options that you can use to change the screen color, and you can set them up so the color change can be switched on and off easily. I think both iphone and android also have a similar thing to f.lux built in, like a nighttime mode which makes the screen slightly more orange. So there’s a few different ways you might be able to experiment with and see what works best.
Another good program for changing screen colour on computers (paid, but fairly affordable and has some extra options than f.lux does) is iristech.co
I’m very sorry to hear that, Tina. Have you had any luck improving the digestive issues you once mentioned? I feel it could be related because allergies and intolerances generate a chronic state of inflammatory response in the body which increases cortisol; the opposite hormone to melatonin. I wish you all the best. I have sometimes asked my divine mother for help with my health and I have felt her help sometimes the next morning, I have heard she is a great source of wisdom and knowledge so maybe she could help you find answers.
I will mention some things that help to have good sleep, tried and tested.
Sleep hygiene starts when we wake up so it’s recommended to have sunlight in the eyes early in the morning, this signals the body to increase cortisol production and reduce melatonin to start the waking cycle.
Propper hydration in the early morning helps to get the adrenal system up and running, drinking a good amount of water in the first hour after waking up is a good idea, after all, we tend to be a little dehydrated in the morning because of not drinking water while asleep.
Having some form of physical activity shortly after waking up to get the blood flowing is also recommended as well as deep breathing to regulate the CO2 accumulation that happens while asleep.
Feeding and taking the bulk of our hydration in the daytime is most appropriate because the digestive system slows down as the sun goes down and the digestive system is one of the more energy-demanding systems in the body.
Exercise really helps with circadian rhythm regulation amongst many other beneffits, it’s best to do it in the daytime because the temporary increase in cortisol can disrupt sleep but from what I’ve seen if the only option is to exercise later in the day this is still preferred than not exercising for overall health. Of course, everybody’s circumstances are different but we are not speaking of becoming bodybuilders but rather activating our muscles and nervous system which has all sorts of benefits for our overall health. This made me remember that experience Mark mentioned in the Spiritual OBE book where an ET flexed his abb muscles to teach him that he should stay fit 😂 I had a good laugh with that one.
As Lara mentioned, blue light after the sun has set disturbs the circadian rhythm; warm light and fire don’t disturb the circadian rhythm and I would say it also improves sleep because of the relaxing effect it has.
Leaving the most physically and intellectually demanding tasks for the daytime and taking downtime before bed is also recommended. Having a warm bath before bed is said to aid in conceiving sleep because it’s relaxing and also because of the thermic effect it has. Having a sufficiently cool temperature to sleep is also mentioned on the subject. Interestingly enough having a clean and tidy bedroom is also linked to better quality sleep.
Of course, the demands of daily life and circumstances sometimes prevent us from applying some of these things but we can do our best to cultivate good habits.
Hi Marco, I have improved my digestive system a lot in the last few years but still no improvement in sleep.
Over the years ive done many tests as to why this is happening and got some answers with the DNA test which shows that genetically I cannot produce melatonin but supplementing it doesn’t work.
The thing that does make some difference is avoiding an array of foods, mainly carbohydrates. On the other hand, I have done a lot of asking and it seems it’s pointing to one thing and that is detachment. I won’t go much into this but you probably know what I mean.
I’m glad you have improved your digestive issues. I think I get what you mean.
I also have trouble with carbohydrates and seed oils; seed oils upset my digestive system as well as carbohydrates do but carbs and sugar also impact my brain dramatically. I turn into a depression hub for no apparent reason if I don’t stay disciplined with my food choices.
Your commentary on detachment made me remember this from The Flight of the Feathered Serpent.
“A very simple fact that is actually a physical truth, but that you all believe is only an ethical precept that is impossible to put into practice. Surely you have read or heard it at some point: “Do not resist evil.”
Also, your perspectives and emphasis on past existences have made me reflect and think about many things that I hadn’t before so thank you.
I wish you much strength to fight your battles, Tina.
Some great tips there Marco and others.
I appreciate this theme being raised in general.
For the last four weeks I’ve been doing yoga-type poses (which I combine with my own prayers) each morning, before going to work, and I have been very lucky with the clear skies and sun shining onto me in my living room. This discipline made for such a different start to my days.
I’ve been wanting to ‘respect the nights’ better as I generally rely on the guidance from there. But it’s been tough with going out late multiple evenings a week. Improper sleep sends the whole wheel of balance and work off course..
I was once directly shown in the astral about the light emitted by wireless devices, which I didn’t know about at the time. That radiowaves are forms of light and reach into our brain and keep us awake. I was sleeping right next to a Wifi router at the time and wasn’t able to sleep and very slow to recover from an illness.
In my current flat there is also ‘something wrong’, it might be the amount of signals or some other factor, but I always wake up earlier, energetically ‘agitated’ and not rested, haven’t figured why but that’s how it is. Immediate difference when I sleep elsewhere.
I like the Himalayan Salt lamp Ella mentioned (maybe with a certain bulb), some friends of mine have one, great for ambience.
Will aim for sunrises from now on. Which means decent bedtimes 🙏
Thanks, Marco!
I can relate to this feeling of carbs and sugar affecting the brain. For example if I just have a small amount of carbs, let’s say the amount in about 50g potatoes I get a flue like symptoms, with a bad headache. Fruit and sugar I cannot even touch so to speak. I have a feeling that the reason for this is far more deep than we could imagine. Detachment comes to mind again and that quote you shared fits really well. If we go about our day in a detached and aware way with utilising the tools that we’ve been given we get this deep understanding of what is what as even our perception of things and situations can change then there’s a ‘silent power’ within that nothing can shake..
I also, wish you much strength and determination in your inner work!
Hi Marco, just wanted to say that the story of Mark meeting a very physically fit ET stuck with me too, so funny and down to earth, and yet otherworldly too! 😃 It definitely underlines the importance of taking a good care of our physical bodies as the temples of the spirit. Thank you for some good tips for the sleep hygiene too. My problems are mainly going to sleep late and lack of physical activity, as I don’t have that much work to do outside (except of taking care of the garden), and I am not a naturally sporty person. 😮 So I decided to tackle one thing at a time, and start with changing my sleep routine, which is difficult (I am even more hungry in the afternoon/evening than in the morning and have been like that all my life), but I am trying to do it gradually, so that its sustainable and does not put me off by too much stress and sleep deprivation. This changing of light bulbs idea sounds like a good thing to try too, which could help to make a different atmosphere in the room that will be more conducive to rest and slowing down in the evenings rather than increased mental activity and computer work. Still a long way to go to be waking up at sunrise naturally…
Thank you for your advice Lara;) I am much better with my sleep now. But what you mentioned about the color of light effecting our sleep and wake cycle seems to make sense, and there is scientific evidence that the pineal gland in the brain is indeed sensitive to light and releases melatonin accordingly which helps with sleeping. I don’t know if I can about change the light bulb at my basement because I rent my place of living and I’m not sure if the owner would allow it, but I do find night lights helpful in terms of creating an atmosphere that helps me sleep. I had a night light which gave off a really nice orange glow but unfortunately it stopped working so I got an LED white night light instead. Sometimes I do feel that it’s too bright and I may turn it off if I feel like it is getting in my way of sleeping. I probably should look for a new one with a warmer tone.
If you can’t change the lightbulbs, another way of doing it is to buy lamps, even a cheap desk lamp, and put a blue light free bulb in. This can be a cheap, temporary, and easy way of doing it, that also gives a lot of flexibility.
You can get orange tone bulbs, which are free of blue light, but still have green. Or you can get red tone bulbs that are free of both blue and green light. It’s harder to see with the red bulbs, but they are great for really helping wind down and making you feel sleepy. We use a combination of orange bulbs for the main room lights, and then red bulbs in lamps, which gives the flexibility to switch between being able to see and being able to wind down (while still seeing just enough to get around).
There are even rechargable, portable night lights that are blue free, which you can carry with you as another option.
A dimmer and warmer tone light helps, but a light that is actually specially made to be blue light free is ideal.
Thank you again for the suggestion Lara. I’ll see what I can find.
Hi Emily, I think LED lights are really important to avoid, they seem to be the worst at upsetting our circadian rhythm. I knew some people who were campaigning to get the street lights turned back to the lovely warm-orange ones we used to have in the UK from the LED ones we have glaring everywhere now, as apparently the impact on nature and on people living by them is pretty bad. How about those orange Himalayan salt lamps? I find they’re just enough to read by, with a few candles and make such a lovely ambiance.
I’ve been really enjoying this change in the seasons recently for the encouragement to slow down and go inwards from the growing nights. There a quietness and calmness to it that the summer misses. Plus it’s easier to see the sunrise when it’s at sensible-o’clock!
One other bit of health info I’ve come across about the sun recently is about how sunglasses and sun cream are actually really damaging for us, for different reasons though they overlap. The gist is that sunglasses, by blocking particular rays of the sun, are stopping us from getting parts of light into our pineal gland “the master gland” which then stops it from being able to communicate with our bodies properly. They stop the signal to the body to produce hormones which help the skin absorb the light, actually making you burn more. I see so many people in sunglasses when it’s not even sunny now, I think it’s common advice to wear them to protect your eyes, and even to wear sunscreen whenever you’re outside! It’s probably exposure to screens, and all the damaging chemicals in our food chain, that are actually doing the damage to our eyes.
Sun cream is full of so many toxic, hormone-disrupting chemicals, which are baked into your skin when you’re exposed to the sun. The advice I’ve heard to avoid burning is again, to get sun exposure early in the day, which preps your body to produce what it needs to handle it and then to cover up if you’ve had too much for your skin. I have spent lots of time in hot places, under lots of hot sun, with fair skin, (actually it’s not as fair as Scandinavians for sure!) and not been burned for years following this advice – sometimes I wear lotion I’ve made with carrot seed oil and zinc in. Though I haven’t done this in really hot countries!
It sometimes seems to me that there’s something so back wards and even sinister about the advice that keeps people afraid of and hiding away from the healing effects of the sun …
Studies demonstrating the importance of sunlight throughout the day seem clear (whether what we see or on our skin), but sunglasses can be for safety like when driving and lots there’s lots of glare, so they aren’t all bad. And there are sunscreens/sun creams available that are much better than the chemically ones.
For our skin, I wonder about the bulk of the middle of the day when UV rays are at high levels. I haven’t looked into this much but I know there is decades of research to show high UV is damaging, particularly for fair skin (not to mention the skin-aging effects). Not sure if this “hormone activating process” negates that – are there the studies to back that up?
Hi Ella,
I think the world really has a problem with light, especially in crowdly populated urban areas. The light from artificial light sources are very different from the light patterns seen in nature created by the rising and setting of the sun,as maybe the changing phases of the moon as well. Artificial lights have not only affected people, but wild animals too such as some migratory birds. They would normally use lights from the heavens as a guide on their path of migration, but the lights from cities at night can make them confused, they may run into the glass on windows and hit themselves on the head because they don’t know the glass is there! It seems like there is a worldwide plan or something to put the masses in this artificial setting of modern civilization, while keeping them away from the natural way of living which humanity had abided by for hundreds of thousands of years in the past. Is it really for good though? I doubt it.
Thank, Lara! I will be making those changes and see what happens. It definitely makes a lot of sense.
That’s great Tina. One other thing that Marco and Ella have already mentioned here, which is really important, is to be out to see the sunrise. This is one of the most important things we can do for our health, including our ability to have regular sleep patterns. Mark and I are writing about some ancient practices of the Religion of the Sun to do at sunrise for the next book, including the most important practice of the religion, so it has both spiritual and health benefits!
Hi Lara,
Is it best to be outside , even if cloudy? How long is ideal to be outside at this time?
It sounds like a lovely and beneficial thing to do.
Hello Lara (or anyone understanding this topic), I have been looking into these light bulbs, but I am not sure which ones to buy, it seems many are just called “party lights”, and I am not sure which ones will fit and emit a nice light… Does anyone have a tip of which lights to buy? I didnt find online resources in Slovenia (where I am now) so far, so I had a look at Amazon.de, and found things like these (I was looking for orange ones):

Any advice and resources would be much appreciated!
Hello Lucia
With LEDs – they have to be specifically blue light blocking or natural full spectrum, regardless of what colour they are. The problem is blue light when it is on its own and not with the rest of the light spectrum.
These energy saving LED bulbs you have linked to are energy efficient because they have taken the red and infra-red (heat) out. Also they turn off and on around 100 times per second which saves energy which you can’t see but your brain does register it and this flicker messes with your brain and can be a cause of migraines and headaches. You want to search for blue light blocking LEDs.
By the way, there is a blue-light blocking glasses company called Lucia Eyes. :)
Hi Tina, I get periods of insomnia now and it can be really unbalancing! I find I’m very sensitive to ‘stimulation’ of any kind in the evening and need to approach sleep like I’m putting the breaks on a large van very slowly! If I eat too late or spend time in bright lights or blue lights, game over! I also noticed a pattern with the menstural cycle and the moon that impacts me. Sounds like you’ve got some good advice and are tackling the inner aspects which has to be essential.
I have found the advice about getting morning light and avoiding artificial light in the evening to be really helpful and really interesting. Some very educated doctors are out there saying the best thing you can do for your health is watch the sunrise! Even in chronically cloudy places like the UK, where it’s tempting to say “oh it’s miserable out, I won’t bother”, just getting your eyeballs interacting with the early AM light syncs up your whole body to the ebb and flow of life that wakefulness and sleep are part of. Quite amazing really.
Someone reminded me that they used to drink coffee before bed to try to avoid falling asleep so quickly so to have a chance at astral practices. I don’t think they’ve ever had insomnia though! But I have been trying to use my time waiting for sleep for this when I can. Sometimes the best thing I can do is sit up and do a practice to try to ground my mind.
Hi Ella, thanks for the advice. Interestingly I do a lot of work outside and so from February untill October I get exposed to the sunrise and often connect to it internally as i work and go to sleep very early then but the sleep stays the same. I think that alone is not enough, at least for me, so will change the light bulbs to the red ones, as Lara suggests, and see if that would work. I also found when i wake up at night that often I have to eat something in order to get another hour or two of sleeping. Obviously we are all different and react differently to various stimuli. On the other hand, I am glad to be going through this as it gave me a chance to work through some very stubborn inner states that otherwise wouldn’t show up. One of the most important reason to work through this right now, for me, is to be able to practice astral projection.. All the best!
Thank you so much, grateful and inspired to learn more.
Wonderful. I am so looking forward to watching this video. Thank you to everyone involved, especially Mark and Lara. I will be in the southern hemisphere and celebrating the spring equinox though I wonder if the Autumn equinox in someway still applies to us living this side of the equator? Due to the alignment of the north pole star with the north pole, I wonder if the energies of the planet are dictated by the northern hemisphere as I’ve heard the unique energies of Christmas emanate through the whole planet and not just the northern hemisphere at the December Solstice. Could it be the same for all equinoxes and solstices in someway are dictated by what is happening more so in the north?
Hi Anthony, that’s not something I’ve come across in my own reading. The majority of cultures that are known to have followed the ancient Religion of the Sun were in the northern hemisphere, so it’s hard to tell whether the emphasis on the north, particularly the northern celestial pole, is due to their location, or some other overall planetary structure. The unique energies of Christmas emanating throughout the world may be caused by the energies generated by so many people celebrating it, rather than something from the planet itself. I think there is a strong pull culturally from what happens in the northern hemisphere over the southern, as that’s where the overwhelming majority of people live – something like 87% of them. Of the 13% of people in the southern hemisphere, a very small number of those are english speaking, again with the vast majority of english speakers in the northern hemisphere, so I think it’s to be expected that the celebration of the opposite equinox or solstice in the southern hemisphere is going to feel completely outshone. Nevertheless, the event in nature that happens in the southern hemisphere is real, so its not the effect of nature that is small or weak, but the numbers of people and their level of interest.
Thanks Lara. Yes It makes more sense to align with the solar celebration with that of the season and position of the sun one finds themself located. I heard that from midnight on the 24th of December a special Christic energy affects the whole planet for 24 hours. And this energy I believe comes into the North pole via the Polaris star.
