S4E2 - Unmasking Evil: Karma, Fallen Angels, and the Energy Veil

What if the darkness in the world isn't just chaos—but a calculated manipulation by spiritual forces? In this riveting episode, we explore the true origin of evil, as defined by the Ascended Masters, and examine the concept of the "energy veil"—a force that distorts our perception of reality and severs our connection to the Divine.

Drawing from spiritual teachings, real-world events, and symbolic scenes from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, we expose how fallen angels operate through karmic vulnerabilities to twist good into evil. Discover how ignorance of spiritual law leads to separation from the Higher Self, and how pride, ambition, and fear fuel our descent into darkness. Most importantly, we discuss the solution—the path of spiritual awakening, and the power of invoking light to dissolve the veil.

Transcript

Hello everyone. This is Mariah Cruz and you’re listening to the Spiritual Deep Dives Podcast.

For thousands of years, there were ancient spiritual truths and mystical teachings passed down only to the highest initiates walking the path back to God.

It hasn’t been until recent times that this secret knowledge has been available to the masses.

Our team spent over 40 years researching many diverse spiritual, religious and scientific sources, recording the wisdom from the ascended saints and sages of East and West, tapping into the akashic records and calling on God’s Holy Spirit to reveal the spiritual truths and science behind the unseen forces that govern our lives.

In this podcast, we will explore these teachings from a unique perspective that you probably have never heard before and show practical ways you can integrate them into your life to resolve deep seated personal problems, accelerate your soul’s evolution and help solve the world’s dilemmas.

In this powerful second episode on Fallen Angels, Nephilim, and Aliens, Stephen and Joseph Macchio dive deep into the spiritual mystery of evil. Is the chaos in our world simply karma at work—or is something more sinister at play? Drawing from the teachings of the Ascended Masters, they explore how fallen angels can manipulate karmic conditions, what the energy veil really is, and how Maya—the illusion of separateness—blinds us from higher truth. Using references from both scripture and pop culture, including a compelling analysis of a scene from the movie, “Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith,” this episode unpacks the seductive path to the dark side and how spiritual energy can be inverted for destructive ends. Don’t miss this thought-provoking discussion that dares to ask: What is the true origin of evil? 

I want to quickly mention that if you're joining us for the first time, we encourage you to listen to the first episode of this series because each new episode released is built on the foundation of all previous episodes.

So let's hear what Joseph and Stephen have to share with us today.

Hello and welcome to our exposé on the fallen angels, Nephilim, and aliens. In our first episode we gave an introduction of who the ascendant masters are. We also mentioned the conditions of this planet and its karmic vulnerabilities and asked if it's possible that karma is being manipulated by certain forces. 

This brings up several questions: Considering everything that's been happening in America and around the world, could the spread of a dangerous virus for example be caused by planetary karma? In other words, are we all reaping what we have sown on a global scale? Is the virus a karmic recompense? Or, could it be a worldwide warfare of embodied and disembodied fallen angels against all of mankind? 

And what about mankind's good karma? Why does it appear that much of the good that humanity does is not always evident? Why does it seem that the bid for peace among various peoples and nations are failing in many cases? If peace is failing on a national and planetary scale, why is the bad karma overshadowing the good karma? 

We believe there are nefarious forces behind all this which brings us to today's topic about the origin of evil. So let's go down this rabbit hole and see where it leads us.

Many people don't believe that evil even exists. This belief comes from the idea that whatever happens is the outplaying of God’s will. Then we have others who say that God would not do anything that could be considered evil. Let's take a closer look into both trains of thought.

As we get into a more detailed understanding of evil, we first want to explain how the Ascended Masters define it. The 'e' in evil stands for “energy” and the letters v i and l mean “veil”. So they are telling us that evil is an “energy veil”. And we all know that when a veil covers us, we no longer see clearly. 

So digging deeper along this line of thinking, we can conclude that evil is a force that is hiding the truth. This concept couples with the Hindu view of what is called Maya. Evil is the result of Maya which causes people not to perceive the universe as it actually is.

So evil is a by-product let's say, of the fundamental ignorance of reality. The reality of the universe, the reality of the self is more or less hidden by this energy veil. 

Maya causes everything to appear as separated or separate. This is a cause of evil, the inability to perceive reality. If nations and peoples were in tune with the God Source and could see themselves as one with God, Maya would fade away just as the mist fades away in the morning when the sun comes out.

The point is, the universe may be Mayic in the sense that it appears to be differentiated, but in reality it's all one, which is a part of Hindu doctrine. If we are one with our I AM Presence as we described in our first episode then the energy veil just fades away. 

It's the energy veil or evil that causes the Individual that's evolving on planet Earth to think that they're separate from their Christ Self and I AM Presence. This is the Maya that is created through ignorance.

The ascended masters talk about ignorance of the law. They say if we ignore the law, then the energy veil descends around us and we no longer see and think that we're one with God. Instead, we believe in duality — a God that is separate from us.

This is a VERY important point to remember. 

When we look at the heinous acts that people like Hitler have committed, could it have simply been the result of Mayic ignorance or is there something more at work through these individuals?

Additionally, on the question of evil, we have to ask ourselves what for example causes people to riot, loot and destroy private businesses. What causes people to hurt and maim and murder? 

What kind of people do this? Or are they people at all? Now isn't that a bizarre concept! But we're going to probe all of these questions in detail. We're going to get to the bottom of what's really going on and what has been the cause behind all the insidious and insane acts against humanity that seem to be increasing by the day. 

We aren't referring to people who harm others out of passion that is fueled by strong emotions for example. What we're talking about are those like Hitler who commit heinous acts like the murder of large numbers of people for example. When we hear of such things in the news we automatically know there's something very wrong with them. They don't think like the rest of us. Normal people just don't take embodiment, grow up to adulthood and all-of-a-sudden decide they're going to murder six million Jews.

I'm sure you can agree that this is a very different kind of consciousness we're dealing with. It's aggressive evil and people with this innate mentality have been popping up throughout history.

So we’re going to switch gears now and talk about the fact that God’s energy is inverted into what’s called spiritual, or absolute evil. This is a key to understanding how so many people around the world are so easily manipulated into doing the devil’s work.

So what do we mean by “energy is inverted”? We're talking about the energy, the light that comes from the Divine Source. When that light enters our being, we have a free will choice to either misuse it or use it correctly. When it's misused, it becomes inverted or changed into absolute evil.

The Ascended Masters teach us that the light is given to us freely, we choose what to do with it and then we make good or bad karma as a result. So we can't blame God because we misused His energy and met with some misfortune because that karma circled back to be balanced. As they say, what goes around, comes around. 

In other words, we do with that energy what we want. So if we're screaming and hollering, being angry or otherwise misqualifying that energy in some way, it gets inverted and becomes part of our negative karmic record.

So we actually make a conscious choice to choose evil, but very few people understand that. Knowing we have this gift of free will to use God’s energy as we desire gives us a lot of power and control, because once that light is released to us God in a sense is out of the picture. 

There are many reasons why some person or masses of people would actually choose evil or to do evil things. One of these is because in the course of their long spiritual evolution, they were unable to maintain their connection with the Higher Self and therefore became vulnerable to the evil forces who use them for their dark purposes. 

Origen of Alexandria's teachings explained that somewhere along the line of evolution souls broke this connection and their love for God grew cold so the energy veil “evil” fell upon them. And through time it became thicker and heavier in the sense that it lowered their vibration so they became more dense spiritually. They were no longer able to tune in to or even recognize the higher vibrating manifestations of God or even the spiritually advanced people walking around them.

In essence, the energy veil puts our consciousness in a sort of twilight zone of being neither here nor there and therefore we become subject to every influence coming from the fallen ones either directly or through our subconscious mind. 

In fact, the energy veil can not only surround an individual, but it can cover a family, a large group of people, a nation and even an entire race of people. As like attracts like, when someone gets involved in evil deeds, they will attract the same kind of people who are also stuck in that energy veil through magnetism. You attract to you those who are like yourself, that is unless you do something to turn it around. 

Reestablishing and maintaining attunement to the Higher Self—to God, takes work. In other words, lifting the energy veil, or removing evil from our world takes a conscious effort and determination.

This energy veil is clearly illustrated in a particular scene from the movie “Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith” where Anakin made the conscious choice to enter the dark side.

This choice is oftentimes made for the purpose of power or control. But the underlying cause may be because of the inherent weaknesses in the psyche which cause the person to be vulnerable to seduction or manipulation. And digging even deeper we have to ask: What are these weaknesses a result of? The answer is it's their own negative karma, which they haven't dealt with. 

We're going to be discussing how to deal with this negative karma at another time by the use of the violet flame and by tremendous invocation of light, whereby this negative energy veil that we're speaking of can actually be lessened, dissipated and transmuted. So no one should lose hope as we're talking about the energy veil. 

So we're going to play for you now the scene from “Star Wars” because it not only shows how someone made the choice to become evil because he was seduced through his weaknesses, but it also perfectly illustrates the modus operandi of the fallen angels. 

So here's the scene:

Palpatine: Anakin, you know I'm not able to rely on the Jedi Council. If they haven't included you in their plot, they soon will. 

Anakin: I'm not sure I understand. 

Palpatine: You must sense what I have come to suspect. The Jedi Council want control of the Republic. They're planning to betray me. 

Anakin: I don't think that... 

Palpatine: Anakin. Search your feelings. You know, don't you? 

Anakin: I know they don't trust you. 

Palpatine: Or the Senate, or the Republic, or democracy for that matter. 

Anakin: I have to admit, my trust in them has been shaken. 

Palpatine: Why? They asked you to do something that made you feel dishonest didn't they? They asked you to spy on me didn't they? 

Anakin: I don't uh I don't know what to say. 

Palpatine: Remember back to your early teachings. All who gain power are afraid to lose it even the Jedi.

Anakin: The Jedi use their power for good.

Palpatine: Good is a point of view. The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way, including their quest for greater power.

Anakin: The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inwards, only about themselves. 

Palpatine: And the Jedi don't? 

Anakin: The Jedi are selfless. They only care about others. 

Palpatine: Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? 

Anakin: No. 

Palpatine: I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a dark lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the force to influence the midichlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. 

Anakin: He could actually save people from death. 

Palpatine: The dark side of the force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. 

Anakin: What happened to him? 

Palpatine: He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself. 

Anakin: Is it possible to learn this power? 

Palpatine: Not from a Jedi.

This scene brings home many interesting points we wanted to comment on because they clearly illustrate how the fallen ones manipulate people and karma itself. 

One of the key moments in this scene is when Palpatine, who represents a fallen angel in embodiment said, “Good is a point of view”. This exposes the logic of the fallen ones because once “good” becomes a relative concept in the mind, it's always relative to something else.

In other words, there is no common ground. There's no anchor point of what is actually good anymore. There's no place you can go and say, “I have done this or that and it's either good or evil.”

Once you believe that everything is “just a point of view”, then you can do the most horrendous things and proclaim that what you've done is a good thing because that's your point of view. You can, for example, justify rioting and setting cars or businesses on fire as a good thing but to someone else, your actions are not good. You see, there's no moral standard. 

So this is a brilliant move by the fallen ones who are on earth today. Just look at all the evil taking place everywhere and watch the video clips where the people taking part in it think they are completely right in their actions. They actually think they are doing something very good when to us, it's clearly evil.

Also, throughout the “Star Wars” movies we can see that Anakin has weaknesses. To start with, there's a certain energy of rebellion in him. It's like he's trying to get back at something. There's also his ambition. Palpatine was playing upon this as well by telling him he could achieve a power greater that any Jedi, which included saving his wife. 

Then we have Anakin's attachment to his mother and tremendous fear of losing her. He was not there when she was kidnapped by Tuskin Raiders and then died in his arms when he rescued her. As a result he developed a deep anger and guilt because he was not there to save her nor did he have the power to keep her alive. 

This fear of the loss of loved ones was then projected onto Padmé, his wife which he defiantly married against the Jedi Code. Palpatine manipulated Anakin by suggesting he could learn how to use the dark side to keep Padmé from dying. 

So Anakin was infected with the desire for the power over life and death to supposedly do good. Spiritually speaking, he wanted to get power right away and didn’t want to go through the testings and the initiations that a soul would need to go through before gaining such powers along with the understanding of that whole mystery of life and death. 

When we look at this concept in terms of real life, we see that people just want power now without going through the necessary training, initiations and testing. This is the energy of pride and ambition which we're going to focus on in Episode three. Pride and ambition are heavily responsible for why there was the great fall recorded in the Bible and also why people move to the dark side in consciousness and in their actions. 

Movies such as “Star Wars” appear to be fiction but in fact many of these science fiction authors and screenwriters are tapping into the akashic records of this or other solar systems, galaxies and even universes. As we explained in Episode one, the entire history of all creation and events are all held within this infinite body of memory. 

We want to clarify that the authors are likely not consciously reading the akashic records but very well could be influenced by the Ascended Masters who are trying to release a certain amount of information to the public en masse. 

What better way could there be to do it than through these kinds of movies? However, some movies are right out of a dimension of the astral plane and don't contain any useful teachings or lessons. They're designed for pure sensationalism or adventure in the astral realms. But a lot of the movies like “Star Wars” really show what happened to different races of people who may not have been a part of our cosmic history but never-the-less have an important history to tell that is necessary for understanding how evil operates and how we can move our spiritual evolution forward.

Now reflecting back on Palpatine, who fell from the Light and became evil. If you notice his tone of voice, it's seductive. It’s the kind that can pull you right in. He knew the whole psyche of Anakin. He probed his psyche and knew exactly what to say to exploit his weaknesses or karma, to initiate his own fall to the dark side. 

The fallen angels also have this mastery. They know how to manipulate and exploit personal, national and planetary karmic conditions to their own ends. This is something we will be digging deeper into.

So this concludes Episode two. I hope it gave you something to think about so you can come to your own conclusions. In our next episode we will uncover the mysterious fall of Lucifer—not as a myth, but as a cosmic event revealed through scripture and the akashic records. Join us as we explore how Lucifer, once a divine light-bringer from Venus, was swayed by a powerful initiate named Peshualga and ultimately chose rebellion over divine service. You will discover the hidden story behind the rise of the Luciferians, the laws of free will in heaven, and the spiritual forces that continue to shape our world. Better than science fiction, this episode is packed with ancient wisdom, esoteric insight, and a deeper understanding of the eternal battle between light and darkness.
