What Is the Ego? How Is It Created? How Is It Deconstructed?

Posted by Nuno on 17.11.25 under Spirituality 101.

The ego are the parts of your awareness and self-perceived identity that arise out of the perception of not being God, and indirectly from questioning the existence of God/Source/Creator to begin with. This doubt arises from incarnating in the physical world. Doing so places upon you the metaphysical veil, which blocks out or makes it difficult to ascertain this truth. (…)

How Do We Learn Spiritually if We Don’t Remember Past-Lives?

Posted by Nuno on 05.10.25 under Metaphysics (General), Spirituality 101.

Note: this explanation doesn’t mean I think this is “how things are supposed to be”. I’m simply discussing how our reality metaphysically works, at this time. As always, text contains links to terms in the glossary. The Metaphysical Veil Obscures The Spiritual Nature of Reality, and of Ourselves When the spiritual self plunges into incarnation the metaphysical veil descends upon (…)

Is Earth a Prison Planet? My Take.

Posted by Nuno on 15.09.25 under Metaphysics (General), Spirituality 101.

On occasion, this idea pops up on spiritual platforms: that planet Earth is a place where souls are spiritually imprisoned, and that some groups, entities, empires etc., subjugated divergent individuals by condemning them to incarnating on Earth without awareness of their past. And last but not least, the idea that when you cross over the Light you see is a (…)

Posted by Nuno on 11.07.25 under Metaphysics (General), Spirituality 101.

The following is an adaptation of material that was written for a client, as part of a online time slot to explain and answer questions about the concept of spiritual/metaphysical aspects.

Does Hell Exist?

Posted by Nuno on 30.05.25 under Metaphysics (General), Spirituality 101.

The concept of Hell portrayed in religion does not exist in a literal sense. There is no such a thing as a realm of eternal damnation to which you’re sent for all eternity based on an arbitrary measurement of good deeds and sins. Life would be infinitely depressing and pointless if you had a single opportunity to be judged (without (…)

What is a Chakra?

The human body is composed not just by the physical biology but also of superimposed counterparts of immaterial nature called “subtle bodies”. These subtle layers are akin to versions of the physical body but made of energy rather than physical matter, stacked and contained within each other like the layers of an onion, being the physical layer the innermost one, (…)

Synchronicity: What Is the Spiritual Meaning of 444?

Posted by Nuno on 01.05.25 under Metaphysics (General), Spiritual Awakening, Spirituality 101.

One of the things you may experience with the advent of spiritual awakening is an increase in synchronicity, which often accompanies the awakening process itself. As you’re exploring synchronicity and being shown certain sequences of numbers, letters, or symbols, one that might pop up repeatedly is the 444, or sequences of the number 4. Repeating sequences, in particular those with (…)

A Starseed is a spiritual being who chose to come to incarnate on Earth from higher stages of spiritual progression i.e. from Densities higher than the Earth’s current 3D. The term refers to a person who, despite being human, spiritually is not “from” planet Earth.

Angels Don’t Incarnate as Humans?

We’ll often say in the spiritual field that angels have their own spiritual nature and hierarchies, and don’t incarnate as humans. So is it true, false, or somewhere in-between? First and foremost, the Angelic Realms are a hierarchy of spiritual progression separate from our own. We, the spiritual entities incarnating in the physical plane (in this instance on Earth as (…)

Is Being Mean to Others Part of “Being True to Myself”?

Posted by Nuno on 09.07.22 under Life and Society, Spiritual Awakening, Spirituality 101.

I’ve often described spirituality as the personal process of always being true to yourself, or at least involving this to a large extent. However, in trying to be genuine and respect your feelings, you may at points find yourself at odds with your own anger, resentment, frustration, and so on. Emotions can be strong, powerful, intense, and may at have (…)

Do You Choose Your Next Life, or Is It Chosen for You?

Posted by Nuno on 14.02.19 under Akashic Records, Spirituality 101.

A fairly common theme and question regarding reincarnation, is whether we choose the next life and its circumstances, such as our parents. Or, if these things are chosen for us, imposed and dictated by an external authority. Or even, if they are random, assigned in a chaotic manner. To begin with, no circumstances in your life are random in a (…)
