In this profound video, we embark on a journey of spiritual growth, exploring the concept of sovereignty healing and its deep connection to the wounded king within. By delving into the realm of shadow work, we uncover the importance of acknowledging and healing our inner child, allowing us to integrate the divine masculine and divine feminine aspects of ourselves. This inner work is reminiscent of the legendary grail quest, where the pursuit of wholeness and self-awareness leads to a profound transformation. As we navigate the complexities of our own psyche, we begin to understand the significance of embracing our divine masculine and feminine energies, ultimately stepping into our sovereignty and claiming our rightful place as empowered individuals. Through this process of healing and self-discovery, we unlock the doors to a more authentic, whole, and balanced version of ourselves, ready to embark on a path of profound spiritual growth and inner transformation.

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Last time, we talked about a figure in Arthurian myth
and tradition known as theWounded King, but we really
didn't discuss how to heal fromthese wounds, and that's what
we're going to be talking abouttoday In this video.
I'm going to be giving multipleexamples of how to do it and
how it impacts our lives andprevents us from being sovereign
(00:24):
beings, and what even being asovereign being even means.
So some of the things thatwe're going to be going over are
childhood trauma, making it sothat way we understand that
there's a shadow work that needsto be done, and what shadow
work is, what the dynamics arethat cause us to behave in ways
(00:46):
that we don't necessarily like,things of this particular nature
, that we're going to go on withit, and so, if this all sounds
fascinating with you, let'scontinue forward.
Now, why should you trustsomeone like myself on this?
I've been studying mythologyand history for almost 15 years
now.
It is a passion of mine, and itis how I have chosen to
(01:09):
overcome my own demons and makemyself a better person, by
understanding the lessons ofhistory and what the stories
have to tell us and how to takethe journey that needs to be
taken within.
So let's begin your own questfor healing and potentially even
going on your own true grailquest, just like all the
(01:32):
mythologies of not just theDothraian tradition but
throughout the world.
Actually endeavor us to goafter some sort of healing
vessel and welcome to ForbiddenKnowledge some sort of healing
vessel, and welcome to ForbiddenKnowledge.
Last time the Wounded King wediscussed how the difference
(01:53):
between something that's like aninjury versus a wound, and a
wound is something that doesn'theal over time.
It's something that's stillthere and continues to cause
problems as time goes onward.
Something that just is aninjury is something that has to
take time to heal.
Naturally, most of these woundsare so deep-seated inside of us
(02:16):
that we don't even understandtheir implications for ourselves
and they make it so that welash out against others or
create these abuse victim cyclesthat are going on with it.
In sight of the arthuriantradition, we have it popping up
through ancient indo-europeanunderstanding of what the king,
being a sovereign being, isn'tsupposed to be wounded or
(02:39):
injured or in any way, shape orform.
Because the relationship withthe land for more on that, go
and re-watch that video.
That's there and I'll put acard up somewhere around here in
order to make it, so that way,you can go and do that.
Now, what this has to do withour modern sense of self is that
Percival, first off, his namemost likely means pierce the
(03:01):
veil or pierce the valley, soyou have a valley.
Pierce the veil or pierce thevalley, so you have a valley
which is a shape like this, andit's a shape of the grail, of a
in and of itself and whatnot.
And you have a feminine ideahere, right?
This is the ancient symbol forwomanhood uh, an inverted
(03:21):
triangle like that and anancient one for manhood.
Is this, the pyramid, oneinverted with it, and you have
to pierce the veil for what'sgoing on there.
So, or pierce the valley, andwhat that symbolizes is balance
between the masculine and thefeminine, already in his name
(03:43):
and what needs to be done therein terms of going.
He's not the only one that goeson a gruel quest, but since he's
the one that we used last time,we're going to use him as our
example and, if it's perfectly,because he's also called the
welshman or the fool.
So he's someone who's ignorantof the ways of the world.
He is someone who is known asthe Welshman, which in ancient
(04:06):
time periods for England and forthe British Isles meant
foreigner, as in someone whodidn't understand the ways of
that particular culture that hewas in or that she was in.
And what this means is thatPercival is very childlike, and
(04:26):
you can see that in the storieswhere he doesn't understand
anything about the ways of theworld and men and knights and
ladies and all these otherthings that go along with it.
And it's our inner child thathas been wounded effectively and
makes us up, when we grow upand become a king or a queen or
(04:49):
a sovereign being, that wecannot actually become whole.
And making it so that way, theonly one that can heal us is the
originally wounded child that'sgoing on there.
So there's always something inmost people's lives that have
happened to them while they wereyounger that they never got
over.
That has become a huge part ofwho they are today and it
(05:11):
impacts the world around themand impacts themselves and all
the relationships that are goingon with it.
And until they're able to goand deep dive what that is and
overcome what that is, they willcontinuously make the same
mistakes over and over and overagain, and this will cause
problems for themselves and forthe world around them, hence why
(05:34):
it's referred to as thewasteland inside of the
Arthurian tradition, that it issomething that is not productive
, something that is not abundant, something that is not abundant
, something that is doing thingsthat are exact opposite of what
most of us claim that we want.
We, most of us, want peace andabundance, and we want love, and
we want freedom and we want allthese other great things that
(05:57):
all humanity practically wants,and yet we as a species, don't
have that.
So clearly there's somethingelse that's getting in the way
here.
Now.
All this is playing out isbecause we don't have a balanced
dynamic.
We have to, where we fall intotypically one category or
another.
We fall into the abuser or theabused cycle, the abuser victim
(06:21):
cycle, and this typically pansout in childhood.
And'm going to give an exampleof and whatnot, and this is one
that's, you know, pretty obvious, but it is still something
that's true for many people.
And so let's say that you camefrom a household where your
parents didn't get along wellwith it and that your father was
(06:43):
physically abusive to yourmother at this, and you witness
it as a child.
You're six, seven years old, orwhatever.
You don't understand what'sgoing on.
You don't understand theimplications of what's happening
there with it, but you aretraumatized by that particular
event.
What happens here is is that youmake it so that way
unconsciously.
You have to make a choice.
(07:03):
Do you want to be the onethat's getting injured, like
your mom, or do you want to belike your dad, where he's the
one that's causing the harmphysical harm to your mother?
And if the child chooses to belike the mom, then they're
(07:23):
choosing to make it so that way.
They don't want to do harm toanybody else and they've chosen
a morally correct one, but theyhave also made it so that way.
They have this victim mentalitynow and that causes problems
going forward for themselves andfor the world.
That causes problems goingforward for themselves and for
(07:44):
the world because now you'restill playing the same
imbalanced dynamic and it leadsto a lot of improper thinking on
multiple different things thatare going on and the actions
that are taken, and it is uh,creates and perpetuates the
cycle of abuse, because now youare going to be making it so
that way.
Unconsciously you are seekingout people who are going to
(08:05):
abuse you or putting yourselfunconsciously in situations
where you can be used and abusedin various different forms,
depending on how that plays outin your life.
On the flip side, if you chooseto make it so that way, you are
the child in this example andthat you don't want to be the
one that's getting harmed withit, and that you would rather be
(08:27):
the one that's taking it out onpeople, because that's the only
choice that you see as a kid.
Unconsciously, you don'trealize there's a third option,
which we'll talk about in amoment that then you're the one
that becomes the one that doesthe abuse, the one that allows
that for them to go and do thatand wants to dominate others and
wants to have power over themand wants to make it so that way
(08:49):
they are beneath you and thatyou are in charge.
Again, this creates a hugedynamic that has a bunch of
problems for what's going onwith it.
So if you think that thisdoesn't cause problems, I would
suggest looking at anytotalitarian regime in history.
It's because the people becametoo subservient to other people
that were above them that wedecided they wanted to rule over
(09:11):
them, and it's perpetuatingthat cycle, which always leads
to destruction and chaos and toother things that are going on
there.
So, yes, this will lead to awasteland, quite literally, if
we allow it and we don't changethings inside of ourselves.
Right, you can see this withhitler, stalin, popat, mal,
(09:31):
plenty of other examples.
Those are just from the 20thcentury alone in terms of
tyrants and tyranny and thatkind of thing.
From what's going on, okay, andit allows the psychological
components to continue onwardand making it so that way.
There's all these problems fromthat.
Now the next thing is is thatthere's the third option, which
(09:55):
we don't see as children, whichis that we can choose to neither
be the abuser nor the abused,and it makes it so that way we
can choose to go and stand upfor ourselves, do no harm but
take no shit.
(10:15):
Masculine and feminineprinciples there, with the
non-aggression principle ofdoing no harm to anybody else,
and the self-defense principleof not allowing yourself or
anybody else that you see thatcan't defend themselves,
becoming abused, and stoppingthat by implementing the
self-defense principles.
And this can take multipledifferent forms, depending upon
(10:37):
the situation, of course, butthe point is is that it needs to
be balanced, just like thestory in and of itself is
suggesting, with Percival's ownname, piercing the veil or
piercing the valley.
So this is a big part of what'sgoing on there.
Percival is somebody whorepresents this function, the
(11:02):
child that comes into this world, that doesn't understand
anything about the world, andit's only through him, it's only
through him that can thewounded king be healed, and
therefore the entire wastelandbe healed, after he has obtained
the grail and understands theother hollows that are there.
(11:22):
This is a big part of what'sgoing on on that particular
front.
So the better understanding ofthis dynamic and how this can
play out in your own life.
You need to ask questions ofyourself like well, where are
areas that I allow things tohappen to me that I don't want
to happen to me?
Or where do I go and constantlycause problems for other people
(11:43):
that I don't want to happen tome?
Or where do I go and constantlycause problems for other people
that I don't want to causethose problems for any people
anymore?
This is why the question thathe failed to ask is whom does
the grail serve, or somethingalong those lines with it,
depending upon the story, hefails to ask that question.
After seeing these things, hedoesn't even go on the quest for
what's going on.
He hasn't realized that he hadalready witnessed the solution
(12:07):
to his problems and because hewas too naive to do so.
Then that doesn't happen now,on a mythological motif for
what's going on here, mostpeople are wondering well, okay,
are the stories just all maleoriented?
Why is it always men that aregoing out and doing the action
and that kind of stuff?
It is because of the fact thattaking action and going and
(12:30):
doing that is a masculinecomponent and principle for
what's happening.
It is not because of thewriters or authors being sexist.
It's because of the time periodfor them witnessing these two
ideas for what it is.
Men were the ones that were atthe outside of things.
They were the ones that werethe protectors of society.
They didn't allow people to goto the inner core of their
(12:53):
society, which were women andchildren, due to how unsafe a
lot of these areas and timeperiods were, with raiders and
with people who wanted to doharm to other people and whatnot
, and also just because of thefact that men were the ones that
would go out and do the huntingand all these other things with
it.
I'm explaining the historicalaspects and why this is being
(13:14):
done with it, rather than likeour modern sensibilities and
whether women should be treatedone way or not.
That's not the point here.
I'm trying to explain why theancient stories are the way that
they are.
So the men were easily seen,they were easily understood,
they were right there in thefront of things with it, whereas
the women weren't.
They were always behind thescenes, they were always more
(13:36):
subtle, they were always morehidden, but they weren't any
less powerful for what was goingon.
Proof of this is still evenfound within the arthurian
mythos and tradition.
In and of itself, that's an oldcrone hag type archetype that
shows up, that gives percivalabsolute crap for him not asking
(13:59):
the question that needed to bedone with it, and and she
represents the goddess inside ofthe traditions that we talked
about before on the last episodeand the merging of that with
that for the king and how thatworks for the Indo-Europeans as
well as other people.
But they were the main ones andyou make it so that way she is
(14:22):
the one that is responsible,pushing him to go and like,
actually find stuff with it, andbecause of her giving him crap,
he actually goes and tries torenew his quest in order to find
the grail again and to actuallysalvage the situation and save
the wounded king.
And so you have that internalaspect, the internal component
(14:46):
that's going on there, and hehas to go and deep dive that
internal aspect of himself, thedeeper, more subtle aspects,
which is why he has to alsopierce the veil for what's going
on in order to recover thetreasure that he needs to, in
this case, the hollows,specifically the grail and all
(15:09):
that it comes into being with it.
We're not going to talk aboutthe grail on this particular
episode in terms of what itrepresents and what that's.
That'll be multiple episodes inand of itself, but this is kind
of where things are and whythey are that particular way.
Now, if you've gotten anythingfrom this, I would really
encourage you to like andsubscribe, because it'll really
(15:29):
help the channel out and it willalso help other people who need
this material in order to helpthemselves get out of the
situation, whatever that is forthem, that the world making the
better decisions and betterchoices and moving humanity
upward rather than, you know,continuing to have the same
(15:58):
cycles of history that we haverepeated over and over again.
Now to continue onward, we alsohave another component here that
needs to be discussed, and thatis the whole balance idea that
we've talked about beforebetween the male and the female.
Now I've been touching on thissomewhat.
(16:19):
But there's also thehemispheres of the brain and you
have one that functions verylike a masculine, traditional
understanding of it's veryanalytical, very logical, very
much wanting to serialize andcompartmentalize things and all
that other stuff, and veryfact-based.
Then you have the other side,which is the creative, intuitive
, generative side, and these twoprinciples have to be balanced
(16:42):
again in order to make it sothat way you can function
properly in life.
If you go too far to one side,it causes all these problems for
you and with your relationships, and the same thing for the
other side with it, and youdon't want to get too out of
whack.
Most people fall into one orthe other.
(17:02):
In our modern world, more people, at least in Western culture,
fall into the left brainanalytical, logical trappings of
stuff with it, and then, uh,you know you also have, where
there are, problems that pop upfrom the other side as well, or
(17:23):
you're too much, uh, not takingaction, too submissive to not
doing anything with it, versusthe other side, which is very
uncaring and not giving a damnabout anything other than
themselves, which both cause toomany problems with it.
Again, the balance has to bethere, and that's what these
ancient stories are telling usfor, what it is.
That's what the ancient HebrewStar of David is about.
(17:46):
David is about the masculineand the feminine coming together
, for the two there in balanceis what it originally intention
and meaning behind it was and is.
So we also have anothercomponent that's going on here,
and that is the fact that youhave to go on some sort of deep
(18:11):
dive into your own self andunderstanding that which you can
view the stories that we'regoing on that are having to do
with the hero's descent into theunderworld or into some other
plane of existence and whatnotworld or into some other plane
(18:33):
of existence and whatnot andthat will be what we will be
talking about more in our nextepisode, and so I hope you got
something from this today.
I enjoy putting these out foryou and I look forward to seeing
you in the next one, and if youmissed the Wounded King, then
please go and watch the lastepisode regarding him.
Thank you very much.
Last time, we talked about a figure in Arthurian myth
and tradition known as theWounded King, but we really
didn't discuss how to heal fromthese wounds, and that's what
we're going to be talking abouttoday In this video.
I'm going to be giving multipleexamples of how to do it and
how it impacts our lives andprevents us from being sovereign
(00:24):
beings, and what even being asovereign being even means.
So some of the things thatwe're going to be going over are
childhood trauma, making it sothat way we understand that
there's a shadow work that needsto be done, and what shadow
work is, what the dynamics arethat cause us to behave in ways
(00:46):
that we don't necessarily like,things of this particular nature
, that we're going to go on withit, and so, if this all sounds
fascinating with you, let'scontinue forward.
Now, why should you trustsomeone like myself on this?

That's there and I'll put acard up somewhere around here in

And making it so that way, theonly one that can heal us is the

So there's always something inmost people's lives that have

(05:11):
impacts the world around themand impacts themselves and all

From what's going on, okay, andit allows the psychological

There's all these problems fromthat.
Now the next thing is is thatthere's the third option, which
(09:55):
we don't see as children, whichis that we can choose to neither
be the abuser nor the abused,and it makes it so that way we
can choose to go and stand upfor ourselves, do no harm but
take no shit.
(10:15):
Masculine and feminineprinciples there, with the
non-aggression principle ofdoing no harm to anybody else,
and the self-defense principleof not allowing yourself or
anybody else that you see thatcan't defend themselves,
becoming abused, and stoppingthat by implementing the

And this can take multipledifferent forms, depending upon
(10:37):
the situation, of course, butthe point is is that it needs to
be balanced, just like thestory in and of itself is

piercing the valley.
So this is a big part of what'sgoing on there.
Percival is somebody whorepresents this function, the

therefore the entire wastelandbe healed, after he has obtained
the grail and understands theother hollows that are there.
(11:22):
This is a big part of what'sgoing on on that particular
front.
So the better understanding ofthis dynamic and how this can
play out in your own life.
You need to ask questions ofyourself like well, where are
areas that I allow things tohappen to me that I don't want
to happen to me?
Or where do I go and constantlycause problems for other people
(11:43):
that I don't want to happen tome?
Or where do I go and constantlycause problems for other people
that I don't want to causethose problems for any people
anymore?
This is why the question thathe failed to ask is whom does
the grail serve, or somethingalong those lines with it,
depending upon the story, hefails to ask that question.
After seeing these things, hedoesn't even go on the quest for
what's going on.
He hasn't realized that he hadalready witnessed the solution
(12:07):
to his problems and because hewas too naive to do so.
Then that doesn't happen now,on a mythological motif for
what's going on here, mostpeople are wondering well, okay,
are the stories just all maleoriented?
Why is it always men that aregoing out and doing the action
and that kind of stuff?
It is because of the fact thattaking action and going and
(12:30):
doing that is a masculinecomponent and principle for
what's happening.
It is not because of thewriters or authors being sexist.
It's because of the time periodfor them witnessing these two
ideas for what it is.
Men were the ones that were atthe outside of things.
They were the ones that werethe protectors of society.
They didn't allow people to goto the inner core of their
(12:53):
society, which were women andchildren, due to how unsafe a
lot of these areas and timeperiods were, with raiders and
with people who wanted to doharm to other people and whatnot
, and also just because of thefact that men were the ones that
would go out and do the huntingand all these other things with
it.
I'm explaining the historicalaspects and why this is being
(13:14):
done with it, rather than likeour modern sensibilities and
whether women should be treatedone way or not.
That's not the point here.
I'm trying to explain why theancient stories are the way that
they are.
So the men were easily seen,they were easily understood,
they were right there in thefront of things with it, whereas
the women weren't.
They were always behind thescenes, they were always more
(13:36):
subtle, they were always morehidden, but they weren't any
less powerful for what was goingon.
Proof of this is still evenfound within the arthurian
mythos and tradition.
In and of itself, that's an oldcrone hag type archetype that
shows up, that gives percivalabsolute crap for him not asking
(13:59):
the question that needed to bedone with it, and and she
represents the goddess inside ofthe traditions that we talked
about before on the last episodeand the merging of that with
that for the king and how thatworks for the Indo-Europeans as
well as other people.
But they were the main ones andyou make it so that way she is
(14:22):
the one that is responsible,pushing him to go and like,
actually find stuff with it, andbecause of her giving him crap,
he actually goes and tries torenew his quest in order to find
the grail again and to actuallysalvage the situation and save
the wounded king.
And so you have that internalaspect, the internal component
(14:46):
that's going on there, and hehas to go and deep dive that
internal aspect of himself, thedeeper, more subtle aspects,
which is why he has to alsopierce the veil for what's going
on in order to recover thetreasure that he needs to, in
this case, the hollows,specifically the grail and all
(15:09):
that it comes into being with it.
We're not going to talk aboutthe grail on this particular
episode in terms of what itrepresents and what that's.
That'll be multiple episodes inand of itself, but this is kind
of where things are and whythey are that particular way.
Now, if you've gotten anythingfrom this, I would really
encourage you to like andsubscribe, because it'll really
(15:29):
help the channel out and it willalso help other people who need
this material in order to helpthemselves get out of the
situation, whatever that is forthem, that the world making the
better decisions and betterchoices and moving humanity
upward rather than, you know,continuing to have the same
(15:58):
cycles of history that we haverepeated over and over again.
Now to continue onward, we alsohave another component here that
needs to be discussed, and thatis the whole balance idea that
we've talked about beforebetween the male and the female.
Now I've been touching on thissomewhat.
(16:19):
But there's also thehemispheres of the brain and you
have one that functions verylike a masculine, traditional
understanding of it's veryanalytical, very logical, very
much wanting to serialize andcompartmentalize things and all
that other stuff, and veryfact-based.
Then you have the other side,which is the creative, intuitive
, generative side, and these twoprinciples have to be balanced
(16:42):
again in order to make it sothat way you can function
properly in life.
If you go too far to one side,it causes all these problems for
you and with your relationships, and the same thing for the
other side with it, and youdon't want to get too out of
whack.
Most people fall into one orthe other.
(17:02):
In our modern world, more people, at least in Western culture,
fall into the left brainanalytical, logical trappings of
stuff with it, and then, uh,you know you also have, where
there are, problems that pop upfrom the other side as well, or
(17:23):
you're too much, uh, not takingaction, too submissive to not
doing anything with it, versusthe other side, which is very
uncaring and not giving a damnabout anything other than
themselves, which both cause toomany problems with it.
Again, the balance has to bethere, and that's what these
ancient stories are telling usfor, what it is.
That's what the ancient HebrewStar of David is about.
(17:46):
David is about the masculineand the feminine coming together
, for the two there in balanceis what it originally intention
and meaning behind it was and is.
So we also have anothercomponent that's going on here,
and that is the fact that youhave to go on some sort of deep
(18:11):
dive into your own self andunderstanding that which you can
view the stories that we'regoing on that are having to do
with the hero's descent into theunderworld or into some other
plane of existence and whatnotworld or into some other plane
(18:33):
of existence and whatnot andthat will be what we will be
talking about more in our nextepisode, and so I hope you got
something from this today.
I enjoy putting these out foryou and I look forward to seeing
you in the next one, and if youmissed the Wounded King, then
please go and watch the lastepisode regarding him.
Thank you very much.
