The spiritual and psychological symbolism of hidden in the stories of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, Noah, Jonah, and more. Lecture quote: "...anybody who wants to know the hidden wisdom of the scriptures – the bible –has to study the tree of life. Otherwise we start building towers of Babel – and creating confusion, because what is written in the Bible – Gnosis - cannot be understood without Kabbalah. The famous Tower of Babel is mentioned by many, and it is because in that tower (according to the book of Genesis) is where the many languages that we speak in the world started; of course every symbol, every story - whether in the Bible or in the scriptures of Buddha, or the Hindus i.e. the Bhagavad-Gita, the Mahabharata, or The Koran or any other sacred book of any other religion, all of them - are written in symbols. Thus, in order to comprehend any sacred book, we need to understand that each symbol can be interpreted in seven ways, in seven manners. The science of the Bible, which is the science of Kabbalah, is the esoteric science given to the western world in order to understand the wisdom of the path. So, remember that the Bible is the sacred book given to the Westerners, in order for them to understand how the path of the self realization is. Thus, when the Bible mentions a tower, we Gnostic's always refer to it - as everything written in the Bible or any other holy book - as something that is always related to the human being, because the goal of life is to create the human being into the image of God."

The psychological and spiritual meanings hidden in the Biblical story written by Moses (Moshe) in the book of Genesis. Lecture quote: "The book of Genesis is a Gnostic book written by Gnostics; the whole book hides the mystery of Daath, the Hebrew word for knowledge, which in Greek is Gnosis. So, Genesis is 100% Gnostic, whose myths hide a lot of knowledge. Remember that a myth is like a coffer, a box, that hides a truth. This mythical truth is behind the scene, veiled by the narrative, veiled by the story; this is how the book of Genesis was written, based on events that happened in the past but written in the manner of stories in order to hide certain secrets or Arcana that only those with knowledge can understand. This is why in this day and age you find a lot of arguments, debates, related with the book of Genesis, due to the fact that they do not have the clues in order to unveil these myths that hide a lot of psychological, cosmological, and natural truths that only the initiates who walk the path of the mystery of Daath, the mystery of knowledge, can clearly see..."

The alchemical symbolism of the ark of Noah and the creation of the soul. Lecture quote: "The Ark of Noah hides the secrets of the Self-realization of the Being, the secrets of Tantra, which are hidden in different verses in the Bible. We need to know a lot of Alchemy and Kabbalah in order to understand what the Ark of Noah is. To begin, we have to state that for this understanding, we, the Gnostics, study two trees: (1) the Tree of Life, and (2) the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, which is Gnosis, because "knowledge" in Hebrew is Daath, and in Greek is Gnosis. So behold here two trees, which are mentioned in the book of Genesis written by Moses. So, when we talk about the Ark of Noah, we have to talk about wood, since any type of wood comes from a tree; yet, the tree related with the wood of the Ark of Noah is not a tridimensional tree as many people think."

Even deeper meanings hidden the symbols of Cain and Abel: the repentance of Cain, the mark of Cain, his children, how Cain is related to Eve and the serpent, and more. Related scripture: "We learned that the beauty of Adam came from the glow of the supernal knot of the brightness that shines, being the secret of the glow of Aba, since he had a Neshamah of the Neshamah of Aba of Atzilut. The beauty of Eve was such that no creature could look at her, since her Neshamah of Neshamah of Ima of Atzilut. Even Adam did not look at her until the time they sinned and their beauty was removed. Only then could Adam look at her and recognize her for the purpose of mating. This is the essence of the verse, "And Adam knew his wife again" (Genesis 4:25). He knew her in everything; he knew her through mating, that is, "knew," in that he recognized her and saw her. We learned that is it prohibited for a man to look at the beauty of a woman to prevent him from acquiring bad thoughts and being torn into another thing, meaning that a drop of semen will be torn from him in vain. So did Rabbi Shimon behave when he came to the city. The friends followed him, and when he saw beautiful women, he lowered his eyes and told the friends not to look. Whoever look at the beauty of women during the day will have those thoughts coming to him at night. When those evil thoughts come upon him at night, he transgresses, because "nor make to yourselves molten Elohim." For the Klipot that nurture from this are called 'molten Elohim'. Furthermore, if he is mating with his wife when he has these evil thoughts, the children born are called 'molten Elohim' (Leviticus 19:4). Therefore, it is written: "Turn not to idols, nor make to yourselves molten Elohim." Rabbi Aba said: It is prohibited for a person to look at idols and women of the nations, to derive any benefit from them, or to seek a cure from them, as it is forbidden to look at a forbidden place." - Zohar This is a lecture from the free online course Kabbalah of Genesis Course Description: The book of Genesis (Hebrew: Bereshit) is a book of Kabbalah that hides profound and ancient knowledge.

Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own traditions. For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Whosoever curse father or mother, let him die the (second) death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Korban, that is to say, a gift (offering), by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your traditions, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye. - Mark 7 This is a lecture from the free online course Kabbalah of Genesis Course Description: The book of Genesis (Hebrew: Bereshit) is a book of Kabbalah that hides profound and ancient knowledge.

And Abel (the soul in the pineal gland) was a keeper of sheep (solar fire of the heart), but Cain (the sensual mind) was a tiller of the (senses of the) ground (physicality).

An explanation of Adam, Eve, the Tree of Knowledge, and Serpent as they relate to our physiology, biology, and soul. Lecture quote: "...when the newly born physical body comes out from within the womb of our physical mother, those elements (archetypes) that God planted in order for us to become a Kosmos Human are still in potentiality within our physical body. So, the physical and vital bodies contain the archetypes that we need in order to develop the "man in the image of God" within. This is why it is written "and there was not a man to till the ground," because we are only an embryo of soul within the physical body. Yes, a soul-embryo is what we are right now. When you see a newborn baby, that is, a newborn physical body, in symbology that is a beautiful Garden of Eden; thus, part of the Human Soul, part of Tiphereth, is within that newborn body, and there is not a man there yet, just an embryo of soul that could become a man if when that physical body reaches maturity, which is about 21 years of age, and such a soul receives the clues of the mysteries of Eden and starts working with their physicality and vitality and begins developing all of those elements described in the verse five of the chapter two of the book of Genesis: Every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for Jah-Chavah Elohim had not caused it to rain upon the earth. - Genesis 2: 4, 5 This means that such an individual still does not know the mysteries of Daath..."

Concluding the Gnostic Book of Revelation lecture series, this lecture is an explanation of the sixth chapter. "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held... And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood... And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads."

Continuing with the Book of Revelation lecture series, Chapter Six of the Book of Revelation and its meaning is explained. "And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four living creatures saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth." - Revelation 6 This is a lecture from the free online course Book of Revelation Course Description: This free online course reveals how you can discover the true meaning of the Revelation or Apoclaypse of St. John, which is a cryptic and mystical scripture at the very end of the Christian Bible.

However, only intellectual speculations have been made and the words of various authorities have been repeated. The present work is the result of tremendous esoteric investigations that were patiently performed by us in the Superior Worlds." - Samael Aun Weor, The Aquarian Message

This lecture is an explanation of the fifth chapter of the Book of Revelation. "And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not... Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the living creatures and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four living creatures said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever." - Revelation 5 This is a lecture from the free online course Book of Revelation.

Explains the meaning of chapter four of the Book of Revelation. "After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. And the first living creature was like a lion, and the second living creature like a calf, and the third living creature had a face as a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those living creatures give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." - Revelation 4 Quoted from the lecture: "This chapter, being the fourth, builds upon the themes set forward in the first three chapters. In the first, we were introduced to a certain level of symbols: John, as the writer of this book, symbolizes the Initiate, or the person who is working to advance on the Path of the Self-Realization of the Being. We were also introduced to the character of the Son of Man, who is the Intimate Christ. The fundamental relationship between them provides the basis upon which the entire book must be understood. John, as the Initiate, represents what in Gnosis is called the Human Soul, and the Human Soul is our essential Human Consciousness, which in us, in our current state, is undeveloped. But by applying the sciences of Kabbalah and Alchemy, the Essence of that Human Soul can be developed towards its full potential. John is a symbol of that." Read the lecture transcription.

Continuing with the Book of Revelation lecture series, the Church of Laodicea and its hidden meaning is described. "And unto the angel of the church of Laodicea write... These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God... I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked... I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." - Revelation 3 This is a lecture from the free online course Book of Revelation Course Description: This free online course reveals how you can discover the true meaning of the Revelation or Apoclaypse of St. John, which is a cryptic and mystical scripture at the very end of the Christian Bible.

Continuing the lectures from the book of revelation, we reach the discussion of the Church of Philadelphia, which in Sanskrit is called the chakra Ajna. "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth... I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name." - Revelation 3 Read the lecture transcription.

The hidden meaning of the Church of Sardis as written about in the Book of Revelation. "And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." - Revelation 3 Quoted from the lecture: "Today we are going to study the fifth church, the church of Sardis, thus we are entering into the mysteries of the word of God, related with the chakra Vishuddha. Marvelous knowledge is hidden within this church or chakra which we are going to disclose as best we can in order for you to benefit from the mysteries of the word of God, because really, if you visualize the tree of life (the ten Sephiroth), you discover that the imaginary man who is placed behind the tree of life has the Sephirah Daath precisely at his throat; and remember that Daath is Hebrew for "knowledge," which in Greek is Gnosis."

This lecture discusses the Church of Thyatira, Chakra Anahata, which is described in Revelation: "And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; these things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass... "I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first. Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the morning star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." - Revelation 2 Quote from the lecture: "Having introduced the first few churches, we have now arrived at the heart. The church Thyatira is related with the heart, which is related with the chakra Anahata (Sanskrit). Thyatira is the 4th of the 7 churches; being the 4th, we understand that it will have a relationship with the number 4, but also when we look at the structure of the Tree of Life and count from the bottom sphere up, we arrive at the 4th: We are talking about Netzach, which is related with the mind, with the mental body. When we study this church Thyatira we are really dealing with important qualities of the heart and mind." Read the lecture transcription.

Continuing with the Book of Revelation lecture series, describes the symbology and meaning behind the Church of Pergamos. "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth. But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it." - Revelation 2 Read the lecture transcription.

I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." - Revelation 2 "He who concentrates at this Chakra and meditates on the Devata has no fear of water. He has perfect control over the water element. He gets many psychic powers, intuitional knowledge and a perfect control over his senses. He has full knowledge of the astral entities.

This lecture explains the meaning of the "son of Man," a title used throughout the Bible, with special importance in the book of Revelation. Lecture quote: "In the gospels, the great teacher Jesus refers to the Son of Man often. But he says it in a way that is very interesting. He never says "I." He talks about the Son of Man in the sense that it is him and it is not him. He says the Son of Man will be persecuted and will rise again. He is talking about himself, but at the same time he is not talking about himself. Why is that? Because he is not the only one. The Son of Man is a symbol of how the force of the cosmic Christ expresses itself through Chokmah, the Second Logos, which is the Son, and becomes humanized in the initiate."

The first lecture in the free online course about the esoteric or hidden meanings of the famous book of Revelation or Apocalypse of John. Lecture quote: "When you read there "the revelation of Jesus Christ," most people immediately associate that with the master Aberamentho who came two thousand years ago, and gave the Venustic Initiation to John, his disciple, which of course we don't deny. It happened like that. But every book that is written Kabbalistically we have to understand internally. All the books written, related with masters, or disciples, are always a guidance for our own internal development. And as the master Samael explains in the book The Pistis Sophia Unveiled, each one of us has to develop his own individual, particular Jesus Christ. So when we read "the revelation of Jesus Christ," we have to understand directly, that it is speaking of our divine particular Nous, atom Nous. And in this case, it is referring to the Bodhisattva, in Buddhist terms." Read the lecture transcription.

How the consciousness enters into nature and suffering, and how to change it through practical work. Includes an explanation of Parikalpita, Paratantra, and Parinishpanna (from Yogachara Buddhism). Read the lecture transcription. Course Description: More than 2,500 years ago, a man decided to find out why there is suffering, and how to overcome it. He succeeded, and became known as "The Buddha," which means, "One who is awake." Since then, there have emerged many variations and interpretations of what he taught, with some believing that his teachings were something he invented or created on his own. Contrary to this belief, he said, "I have seen an ancient path, an ancient road traversed by the rightly enlightened ones of former times. And what is that ancient path, that ancient road? It is just this noble eight-fold path." - Buddha Shakyamuni, Samyutta Nikaya ii.106 Therefore, his knowledge — what in Greek is called Gnosis — existed before he did, and he only taught what he understood of that ancient knowledge. This course examines Gnosis through the lens of the Buddhist Dharma. These lectures were originally given live and unscripted on Gnostic Radio.

The most important mantra in Tibetan Buddhism is Om Manipadme Hum, who precise meaning has traditionally been kept secret. Now the real value of this mantra is available, and it is directly related to sex. Learn about Chenrezig (Christ), Vajrayogini (the Divine Mother), how mantras work, and much more. Read the lecture transcription. Scriptures: "Avalokitesvara [Chenrezig, Christ], gazes with overwhelming compassion towards all the six classes of sentient beings, who are tormented by misery. The compassion that has the Dharma as its focus is the six syllables of om manipadme hum. […] The virtues of the six syllables are immeasurable and cannot be fully described even by the buddhas of the three times. Why is that? It is because this mantra is the quintessence of the mind of the noble Avalokitesvara, who continually looks upon the six classes of sentient beings with compassion. Thus, the recitation of this mantra liberates all beings from samsara." - Padmasambhava, from Sanglingma "The Lotus Born" "Lustful people do not enter the path of liberation." - Padmasambhava, from oral instructions to Lady Tsogyal "As your life runs out like the setting sun sinking away, Death closes in like the lengthening shadows of evening. Now what's left of your life will vanish as fast as the fading shadows; There's no time to waste–recite the six-syllable mantra. The six-syllable mantra, although perfect as Dharma, Is fruitless recited while chatting and looking around; And to cling to the number recited is to miss the point outright. Undistractedly watching the mind, recite the six-syllable mantra. - Patrul Rinpoche, The Heart Treasure of the Enlightened Ones

"To really understand what it means to Take Refuge, to find one's safe haven in these Three Jewels, we have to go deeper than the literal meaning.

A practical introduction to mindfulness, awareness, attention, consciousness, self-observation and Self-remembering. Read the lecture transcription. Scriptures: "What is right mindfulness? Here a bhikkhu abides contemplating the body as a body, ardent, fully aware and mindful, having put away covetousness and grief for the world. He abides contemplating feelings as feelings, ardent ... He abides contemplating consciousness as consciousness, ardent ... He abides contemplating mental objects as mental objects, ardent, fully aware and mindful, having put away covetousness and grief for the world. This is called right mindfulness." - The Buddha Shakyamuni, Sathipatthana Sutra "More than all that you guard, guard your mind, for it is the source of life. - Proverbs 4:23 "The true knowledge that can really originate a fundamental, internal change in us has as its basis direct Self-observation of oneself." - Samael Aun Weor, Revolutionary Psychology "I teach of suffering, its origin, cessation, and path. That is all I teach." - The Buddha Shakyamuni

The Eightfold Path is experienced through comprehension of the power of speech, and how to use our words for the benefit of humanity. "Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!" - James 3

How to act properly while on the Eightfold Path.

The three primary types of suffering and the basis upon which they can be overcome: the correct understanding of the Absolute, the Emptiness. "It is through not understanding, not realizing four things, that I, disciples, as well as you, had to wander so long through this round of rebirths. And what are these four things? They are the Noble Truth of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Origin of Suffering, the Noble Truth of the Extinction of Suffering, and the Noble Truth of the Path that leads to the extinction of suffering." - Buddha Shakyamuni Read the lecture transcription.

Train the mind and consciousness to overcome the causes of suffering. Lecture quote: "The Gnostic Dharma is a science of practical knowledge that must be experienced to be understood. In order for us to really understand what Dharma is, and what Gnosis is, we have to practice. That is why we talk about practical teachings, practical methods that we ourselves can use. The Gnostic Dharma does not exist just for us to think about it or to theorize about it, or to believe in it, but to use it: to experiment. And that experimentation is something that we have to do inside, in our own mind, in our own heart, in our own consciousness. When you look at the Dharma or the teachings from this point of view, you can understand that if a sincere person is really applying the variety of Gnostic techniques in him or herself, practically, really working with them, then it does not matter what they believe. It does not matter where they are from or who they are. Anyone can experiment with Gnosis, with Dharma, and arrive at similar conclusions, because the truth is universal. Just the same way, on whatever part of the planet a child is born, when they start to grow they will universally experience the law of gravity. Every child who is born and begins to grow has to learn to work with that law, to learn to control their physical body in relationship with that law, and this is universal. But there are additional laws, other phenomena in nature, that are also universal, that any person, anywhere, any time, can learn how to work with, consciously, in order to navigate their life in a better way. So, this is the point. Gnostic Dharma rests upon this basis." Read the lecture transcription.

More than 2,500 years ago, a man decided to find out why there is suffering, and how to overcome it. He succeeded, and became known as "The Buddha," which means, "One who is awake." Over the centuries, many details of his life and his teachings have been lost, distorted, or confused. Yet by comparing what remains with the teachings given by other men and women who reached similar development, his full teachings become very evident. Many biographers have presented his life story with twelve essential stages. The twelve stages of the life of Buddha have deep symbolic importance that has rarely been revealed. By comparing these twelve stages with the esoteric knowledge of Gnosis, the meanings of the events of the life of Buddha Shakyamuni are made brilliantly clear. This lecture has been expanded into an entire course, which you can read here.

A profound, advanced lecture about the heights of the path to heaven and the development of objective reasoning within the superior realms of the Bodhisattva. Pertains to the Initiatic process of Resurrection, the complete psychological death of the ego and perfection within the world of Yetzirah. Also moves into the process of Ascension through the Kabbalistic worlds of Briah and Atziluth, whereby the Resurrected Master enters more elevated realms of consciousness until attaining complete and absolute liberation. Lecture quote: "When we read about the ascension of Jesus in Luke 24:51 and Acts 1: 9-11 regarding how He went to heaven, we read in Greek "Ouranon Poreuomenon" - Ouranon or Uranus meaning heaven and Poreuomenon which means a psychological initiatic development that the Initiate has undertaken. This means that the Bodhisattva - through initiation - went to a place where no believer can go; the Bodhisattva went to those spheres that in Kabbalah are named Sephiroth within the world of Yetzirah, that are hidden from the eyes of the flesh or to that which is earthly, tridimensional."

Anastasis, or the process of Resurrection within the Initiate. The two types of Resurrection: with the physical body or the Body of Liberation, as well as the Ordeal of Job. Lecture relates to Binah, the Holy Spirit. Lecture quote: "There are many people who think that because they believe in the Bible or because they belong to a certain religion, especially one of the three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity), that they will resurrect. They disregard what Jesus said: "God is not a God of the dead, but the God of the living." Read the lecture transcription.

Prajna is the transcendent wisdom of the emptiness, the Absolute or Void, which the Bohisattva enters through the previous Paramitas. The fulfillment and expression of Generosity, Ethics, Patience, Action and Meditation, the direct experiential knowledge by which the spiritual aspirant can overcome and understand suffering. Lecture relates to the Sephirah Chesed, the world of Prajna or inner wisdom. Lecture quote: "By Prajna we do not mean the simple insight or simple wisdom that our intellect generally conceives, or attributes to that term "wisdom." We think of wisdom as something that an old person gathers or has, a wise old person, having gained wisdom through experience. This is not the kind of wisdom that we are describing. This kind of wisdom has nothing to do with age, it has nothing to do with time. It cannot be acquired; it cannot, because it exists already. We are starting to enter into something very profound. In order to understand Prajna, we have to move beyond the realm of the intellect." Read the lecture transcription.

The descension and development of the Pneuma (Spirit) in relation to the Bodhisattva. The process of crucifixion within any Initiate upon the Mount of the Skull; the work of the dissolution of the ego in the Second Mountain. Lecture relates to the Sephirah Chesed, the Inner Spirit. Lecture quote: "The path of the cross is the path of the bodhisattva. This is why we stated that we are not the first ones to teach this, just as Jesus was not the first one who took the cross and was crucified on the mount of the skulls. There were many initiates who did it before, because this is an alchemical process in which you have to work with the spirit of God." Read the lecture transcription.

Dhyana, or meditation, as the fulfillment and unfoldment of the previous Paramitas. The importance, practice and science of meditation, the methodology by which the aspirant may comprehend their own suffering. Lecture relates to the Sephirah Geburah, or the Divine Consciousness. Lecture quote: "When we talk about meditation, we are talking about the cultivation of a particular kind of conscious attitude. The word meditation is really misused in the West. When the teachings from Asia began to arrive into Western world, the people who were involved with translating that knowledge and bringing that knowledge to the Western mind used this word 'meditation' in place of a whole variety of words from Tibetan on Sanskrit. So, because of that, Western students who have adopted concepts of Yoga or Buddhism or Hinduism have in their mind "meditation" in a very imprecise way. There is not a clear understanding among Westerners, even Gnostics, that we need to analyze the actual terminology and experience it. We have to arrive at our own experience of the differences between all the terms states of consciousness because our very development is dependant on it; our own liberation depends upon us understanding our own consciousness."

The psychological relationship of the Bodhichitta through the union of Buddhi, the Divine Consciousness, with Tiphereth, the Human Soul. Also explicates the nature of Objective Reasoning in relation to one's level of spiritual development. Lecture relates to the Sephirah Geburah. Lecture quote: "In essence, the symbiosis of the Bodhisattva is the psychological relationship of the Bodhichitta and the Bodhisattva through Buddhi (Wisdom), which is related with the Sephirah Geburah, by means of Nemesis, Karma. Within the initiate of the straight path, Sophia (wisdom) is the concrete outcome of a symbiosis, that is, the psychological initiatic relationship between the Bodhisattva and the Bodhichitta, a mixture of the light of Chokmah (Wisdom – Christ), with the darkness or sapience of sin. This symbiosis is shown in "Ecce Homo" (the Bodhisattva, the Superior Manas) with Objective Reasoning, which emerges on the sixth day of Genesis." Read the lecture transcription.
