When You Rise, the Shadows React — But So Does the Light

By Julie Tourangeau | julietour.com

Every time I rise—spiritually, emotionally, professionally—I feel it.

A strange shift. Not in myself, but in the people around me. People I once trusted, people who used to admire my work or walk alongside me in spiritual conversations… begin to twist, pull away, or even betray. And I used to wonder, Why does this happen every time I elevate?

Now I understand.

This is what a spiritual war looks like.

It rarely arrives with horns and red eyes. It comes through people. Through projection. Through distortion. Through wounds left unhealed and emotions left unchecked. And it’s not just in this lifetime—it’s a pattern that repeats through many.

The Spiritual War Comes Through the Familiar

Jesus wasn’t betrayed by strangers. It was his own circle. His closest disciple handed him over. Peter denied knowing him. The people he once healed and fed turned on him when the powers that be demanded blood. And why?

Because his presence stirred everything unresolved in them.

Anne Boleyn, too, wasn’t just executed by “the court.” Her own uncle helped engineer her downfall. People in her family, people who once celebrated her rise, flipped the moment her light disrupted the order. She was scapegoated not simply because she was bold—but because her boldness unveiled deep truths that scared them.

And I’ve lived this, too.

There have been moments in my life where people who once looked up to me—professionally, spiritually, or personally—began to behave strangely the moment I stepped into more of my truth. They shifted into judgment, gossip, and sabotage. But this is not a reflection of me—it’s a reflection of the spiritual law at work.

When the Light Increases, So Does the Resistance

We live in a vibrational world. And when someone rises, that energy radiates out—it disturbs the comfort of the status quo. And if someone close to you has emotional vulnerabilities or unhealed trauma, that rising light can trigger them. In that moment, they become susceptible to energies that are not theirs—energies that are orchestrated.

Yes, I believe this is coordinated—just not in the way the physical mind expects. These forces don’t need to sit around a table to plan. They only need openings: jealousy, bitterness, fear, ego. And they will move through people who don’t even realize they’ve become pawns in something larger.

This is how the spiritual war works.

It’s not abstract.

It’s intimate.

It’s disguised.

And it’s ancient.

Synchronicities Show Us We’ve Been Here Before

At 14, I had a vision—of standing condemned, accused by a crowd, executed not for a crime but for being a voice of inconvenient truth. I didn’t understand it then. But years later, I found myself walking through the Loire Valley in France, standing inside Leonardo da Vinci’s spiral staircase. And something awakened in me.

I later learned that Anne Boleyn was raised near that very region, in a court where Christian mysticism quietly flourished. It wasn’t just politics and art—there were sacred texts circulating. Hidden gospels. The real early teachings of Christ. Esoteric philosophies. Da Vinci encoded truths in his art. The same truths that Anne may have absorbed in her formation. That I remember now.

And what if these synchronicities aren’t random? What if we are remembering—not just facts, but roles we’ve played? Wars we’ve fought? Truths we’ve spoken before?

Discernment Is Your Protection

This is why I stay vigilant—not fearful, but intentional. I hydrate. I meditate. I cleanse with sage and prayer. I protect my mind and energy field. And I choose my inner circle with discernment. Because if the people around me aren’t spiritually anchored, the war doesn’t need to go far—it walks right in through them.

But here’s the beauty: energy is just energy. And even when dark energy moves through others, we can transmute it. Jealousy becomes fuel. Betrayal becomes clarity. Sabotage becomes spiritual velocity. It’s like the force they try to use to drag you down becomes the exact pressure that propels you upward—if you stay grounded in the truth of who you are.

This Is Not Punishment. It’s Propulsion.

So many of us feel alone when this happens—when the people we loved or trusted suddenly turn on us. But you are not alone. You are not crazy. You are not being punished. You are being initiated.

Jesus didn’t curse his betrayers. He transcended them.

Anne Boleyn didn’t crumble in fear. She met her end with dignity—and her legacy only grew.

And me? I choose to rise again and again—not because it’s easy, but because my soul remembers something deeper than the pain.

The Resistance Confirms the Calling

So if the shadows rise when you step into your light, it’s not a sign to shrink. It’s confirmation. You’re disrupting something. You’re breaking a pattern. You’re walking the path of those who came before you—truth-tellers, soul-liberators, mystics, and prophets.

And just like them, your resurrection is already written.

Let them try.

Let them twist and project.

Because in the end?

We rise.

Not Everyone Is an Avatar: Logos, Atlantis, and the Truth Behind Divine Embodiment

By Julie Tourangeau

Recently, someone I love insisted that we’re all avatars.

They were referencing physicist Tom Campbell’s My Big TOE, a theory of everything that describes reality as a kind of simulation, where consciousness plays out through virtual characters—avatars—across time and space. According to this view, you are the player, the character, and the experience, all in one. Everyone is divine. Everyone is an avatar. All is learning.

It sounds expansive.

But something in me said—no.

Because here’s the truth I’ve come to remember:

Not everyone is an avatar. And not every consciousness carries the Logos.

What Is the Logos?

In ancient Christian and Hermetic traditions, Logos means more than “word.”

It is the divine intelligence, the sacred ordering principle of the cosmos.

It is truth, justice, love, and moral alignment—woven into creation itself.

The Gospel of John opens with:

“In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God.”

The Logos is what formed the world, but it is also what redeems it.

It is the moral compass embedded into the fabric of being.

To embody the Logos is to live in divine alignment, not just awareness.

Consciousness Alone Is Not Enough

Yes, we are all expressions of Source.

Yes, we are all fragments of one universal intelligence.

But that doesn’t mean every person is aligned with the divine.

Awareness is not the same as wisdom.

Consciousness without the Logos is like a sword without a sheath—dangerous, ungrounded, and capable of great harm.

The idea that “everyone is an avatar” becomes spiritually reckless when it’s used to erase discernment, accountability, and truth.

Good Intentions Are Not the Logos

It’s tempting to say that anyone with good intentions is a divine avatar.

But good intentions alone do not make you a vessel of the Logos.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

You can want to help and still enable harm.

You can care deeply and still act inside a matrix of delusion.

You can be sincere—and still be wrong.

In the realm of the Logos, intention must be married to alignment.

Compassion must walk hand-in-hand with discernment.

Spirituality must include truth, not just comfort.

An avatar isn’t someone who means well.

An avatar is someone who sees clearly, acts righteously, and lives in alignment with divine law—even when it costs them comfort, approval, or belonging.

The Fall of Atlantis: What Happens Without the Logos

In esoteric traditions, Atlantis didn’t fall because of science or storms.

It fell because of spiritual arrogance.

The Atlanteans had immense power. They manipulated energy, bent reality, and channeled cosmic forces.

But they believed:

“We are gods. Therefore, we can do anything.”

They stopped listening to the Logos.

They used their gifts to control, conquer, and dominate.

They lost their alignment—and with it, their civilization.

That same pattern is playing out now.

Modern spiritual circles are repeating Atlantean errors:

• “There’s no good or evil, just vibration.”

• “We are all gods.”

• “Everyone is perfect as it is.”

These sound enlightened.

But when used to deny suffering, bypass accountability, or excuse harm, they become distortions of truth.

Not Everyone Is an Avatar

The word avatar originally meant something sacred.

In Sanskrit, it refers to the descent of divinity into form—a soul who chooses to carry the divine blueprint into the world.

In early Christianity, Jesus was called the Logos made flesh—not because he was above humanity, but because he embodied divine truth in the face of empire.

He was not playing a simulation.

He was holding the pattern.

Likewise, in Hermetic teachings, the avatar was not a character in a game.

It was a vessel of divine order—a person who had undergone inner alchemy and chose to live in harmony with sacred law.

To the Hermetics, as to the mystics, the true avatar:

• Purifies the self

• Aligns with truth

• Walks in service of something greater

They don’t just wake up.

They commit.

The Danger of Declaring Divinity Without Alignment

Today, we are flooded with declarations of personal divinity.

But without the Logos, divinity becomes self-worship.

It becomes narcissism in sacred language.

It becomes another Atlantis—polished on the outside, rotting from within.

To say “I am god” while ignoring justice, truth, and love is not awakening.

It’s the beginning of collapse.

You Didn’t Come Here to Play the Game. You Came to Remember the Pattern.

You are not just an expression of consciousness.

You are here to carry something ancient and unshakable:

The Logos.

That means your life is not a simulation.

It is a temple.

And what you build with it matters.

When others say, “We’re all avatars,”

You can say:

“Only those who choose the Logos truly are.”

And then you live like it.

For Those Who Remember

If you’re reading this and it lands in your bones, then you already know.

You’ve seen how misuse of spiritual power can break worlds.

You’ve watched how the false light rises, blinds, and consumes.

You’ve remembered what happens when the Logos is ignored.

But this time, you’re here to speak.

You’re here to walk.

You’re here to restore the balance.

You are not here to level up in a game.

You are here to be a flame—steady, ancient, and sovereign.

This is not a simulation.

This is a sacred return.

A Memory That Changed Everything: Fear, Reincarnation, and Awakening

I’ve wanted to share this story so many times, but now feels like the right moment. Some truths take years to fully understand, to find the words that do them justice. From a heart that remembers—like a French rose pressed between the pages of time—to yours, I offer this glimpse into a journey that began long before this lifetime.

When I was 14, around the time I was becoming a confirmed Catholic, I had a vision of a past life. Not a dream, not a fleeting thought—an undeniable memory. I saw myself standing before a crowd, their faces twisted with fear, hate, and misunderstanding. Then came the sword to the back of my neck. I was a good person, yet they did this to a good person. The injustice, the pain—it was too real.

That vision changed me. I was supposed to perform in a talent show, something I had never shied away from before. I had played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. I had sung with confidence throughout my childhood. But after this vision, I called off. Not because I was sick, but because something deep within me recoiled at the idea of standing in front of people. It wasn’t stage fright. It was something ancient.

But fate had a way of making me face it.

On my last day as a student, at graduation—a day when speeches were expected, not performances—the teacher who was doing my 8th grade graduation speech unexpectedly asked me to sing. No one else. Just me. It was unusual. A final test, perhaps. And in that moment, I stayed present. I overcame the fear just long enough to do it. But even as I sang, I felt the weight of something unfinished. The fear lingered, buried beneath the surface, waiting for me to fully understand. I was relieved when the applause hit my ears.

Years later, I researched the name of the person I had remembered being. Her personality, her family, the dynamics of her life—it was too aligned to dismiss. It was me. But what do you do with a truth like that? I tried to ignore it, focus on the present, move forward.

Then, over 20 years later, I went to France.

The moment I arrived in the Loire Valley, I knew I had been there before. One particular staircase pulled me in. Later, I found out it was built from a Leonardo da Vinci drawing—a double-helix design, mirroring DNA strands centuries before they were discovered. And then I learned something even more startling: da Vinci and the person I remembered being had lived in the same part of France at the same time. She was just a young lady then.

I asked for a sign. If this is real, let me see something clear from da Vinci himself.

The weekend after I returned from France, I came across a video analyzing one of his paintings. This was a suggested video from 4bidden knowledge, I didn’t even search for it, Hidden within it was an encoded da Vinci sketch over a figure’s head—a symbol of reincarnation from Egypt. The figure? The video narrator Robert Edward Grant, a cryptologist, speculated it was the person I remembered being- which are two people the world never connected in any history lesson I’ve ever attended. The suggestion? This soul had returned again and again, like Christ. The same code, but the opposite Egyptian eye is also over the head of Jesus in The Last Supper, suggesting they are the same soul. Robert Edward Grant called her « The Bullet », and I felt that. Her life was tragic, but she inspired great changes.

In that moment, memories flooded back—not just of my past life, but of teachings, of knowledge I had always carried without knowing why. It put my entire spiritual journey of profound synchronicity in context. (This is post Free Yourself from Grief being published.) This inspired me to delve more into the early teachings of Jesus which confirm he actually taught reincarnation and was an animal activist like myself no less.

Da Vinci understood. He was a Rosicrucian, someone who tracked incarnations, encoding wisdom for those who would come after him. He performed rituals, had visions, and grasped truths that most of the world still ignores. He was awake in a world that sleeps.

And I will always be grateful to him.

Because it takes a unique soul to walk this earth fully aware, to see beyond the illusions, and to dedicate themselves to lifting humanity toward its highest potential.

Some of us remember. Some of us wake up before others. And when we do, we have a choice—turn away in fear, or step forward into the unknown.

I choose to step forward. 🌹

Walking the Path of Logos: From “Crazy” to Inevitable Truth

Revisiting my first blogpost from over a decade ago, “The Perception of Crazy in an Evolving Society”, I can see patterns more clearly than ever after years of truth seeking and research.

A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I, or are the others crazy? – Albert Einstein

When I wrote my first blog post, I talked about how society labels the greatest innovators, thinkers, and truth-seekers as “crazy” until time catches up with them. This is a pattern that has played out for centuries. It’s not just about ideas—it’s about Logos, the divine truth and reason behind all things. And when someone embodies that truth, the world resists—until it can’t anymore.

I’ve lived this firsthand. I know what it’s like to be admired, then suddenly turned against. To have people support me, then try to sabotage me. I know what it’s like to survive financial and legal attacks just for walking a path that challenges deception. But Logos protects its own.

The people who change the course of history—Jesus, Anne Boleyn, Rousseau, even modern truth-seekers—are always ridiculed at first. The system will do anything to keep people asleep because the moment enough of us wake up, their illusion collapses.

When Truth Is Too Big to Ignore

Jimi Hendrix once said, “You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like Heaven.”

He was right. Because in a world built on deception, truth is insanity—until it isn’t.

Jesus was called a blasphemer. Now, billions follow his teachings.

Anne Boleyn was branded a traitor. Now, history sees her as a reformer.

Rousseau was exiled for his ideas. Now, his philosophies shape democracy.

Marie Antoinette was a scapegoat for a corrupt system’s collapse. And now? People see the truth behind the narrative.

The same pattern plays out today. Health freedom activists are silenced. Corrupt institutions brand truth-seekers as conspiracy theorists. Ancient wisdom is rewritten to fit the status quo. But history tells us exactly what happens next:

Logos always returns. Truth always wins.

Why They Try to Silence Us

“Don’t let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you’re crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you’re lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you’re greedy.” – Robert G. Allen

The world doesn’t fight every idea—only the ones that threaten its foundation. If an idea seems absurd but harmless, it’s ignored. But when it has the power to shift consciousness, health, politics, or spiritual awareness, it gets attacked, censored, and erased.

• The true history of the Sphinx? Rejected.

• The suppression of holistic health and the corporate control of medicine? Censored.

• The return of Logos through reincarnation? Buried by dogma.

This is the reality: They only silence what they fear.

Breaking the Cycle: The Age of Awakening

Every time Logos incarnates—whether as a person, an idea, or a movement—it faces resistance. But once an idea reaches enough people, there’s no going back.

And right now? We are at the tipping point.

If you feel like the world is against you, if you’re tired of being called crazy, if you know deep down that something bigger is happening—then you’re in good company.

You’re not crazy. You’re ahead of your time.

History belongs to those who walk in truth despite the cost. And the cost is always worth it.

Keep speaking. Keep exposing. Keep questioning.

Because Logos always returns. And this time, we’re here to finish what was started.
