Our life proceeds along a trajectory that we contribute towards every day, and our most significant actions are sexual. Learn how to control where your life is headed: towards genuine, conscious happiness, or towards deeper suffering and delusion. To understand this important, practical work, this lecture studies the solar and lunar bodies, being "born again," the four noble truths, hydrogens and the laws of nature, and much more. "…whosoever drinketh of the [living] water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life." The woman saith unto him, "Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw." Jesus saith unto her, "Go, call thy husband, and come hither." —John 4 "Be sure of this, that no fornicator or impure man... has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." —Ephesians 5.5 "Lustful people do not enter the path to liberation." –Padmasambhava

This lecture asks the question: What is the nature of the impressions of life? It relates the capacity to transform impressions with Bodhichitta, also known as the Auric Embryo. The Auric Embryo (Bodhichitta) is the objective, awakened consciousness. The Auric Embryo (Bodhichitta) is imperishable, immortal, eternal. The Auric Embryo (Bodhichitta) is the result of terrible ordeals and conscious works. Regarding the Transformation of Impressions: We must comprehend the necessity of changing. There exists a superior mode of living we have not yet acquired. Life is actually our impression of it. If impressions are not transformed, the ego continues to develop and cause suffering. As the ego is eliminated, bodhichitta develops, consciousness awakens. To transform life, the transformation of impressions is essential.

Discusses types of prayers and their uses. "When the mind has achieved absolute calm and silence, it can concentrate on the inner Self. This concentration is done with the help of prayer. Pray to your inner Self. Try to converse with your inner Self. Remember that praying is conversing with God. You can pray without formulae; in other words, talk to God, tell Him what your heart feels, with infinite love." "When the mind has achieved absolute calm and silence, it can concentrate on the inner Self. This concentration is done with the help of prayer. Pray to your inner Self.

Since modern scientists searching for our past are is severely limited by the scarcity of physical remains, the modern theories of our origins are very far from the truth. Surprisingly, one well-known anthropologist gave an important clue for learning our true history: "Ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." —Haeckel By studying the phases of development of the human embryo, we can see the mirror image of our true origins, which are far older and more incredible than your school textbooks or Sunday School teachers ever imagined, and in fact relate well with the most cutting-edge modern science and mathematics. This lecture compares the knowledge of modern science with conscious science and scripture, to study the evolution of sex from the ancient past to today, including: Our Ancestors "Polaris": Thule. Non-physical. Asexual (division). "Hyperborea": Androgynous. Reproduced by sprouting. "Lemuria" (Nephilim): gradual appearance into physical world, then division of sexes. Adam and Eve. "Atlantis": Noah "Aryan": contemporary humanity "By Chokmah (wisdom) in Yesod (sex) יהוה hath founded the earth (the body); by Binah (intelligence) he established שמים (fiery waters) .By his Daath (sexual knowledge) the depths are divided [into Abba and Aima, Father-Mother, Adam and Eve], and the clouds distillate the טל dew [sexual energy in Yesod]. My son, let not them depart from thine sight: keep working wisely and discretely…" - Proverbs 3 Three Types of Sexual Energy the energy related to reproduction of the race and the health of the physical body in general. the energy having to do with thought, feeling and will the energy related with the divine spirit (Innermost)

Bodhichitta is a Buddhist term for the enlightened qualities of compassion and wisdom. Many aspire for these qualities but are thwarted by the poisons of attachment, hatred, and ignorance. Bodhichitta is found in the elements of our soul. We must become an alchemist to transmute the venom of our suffering into the nectar of our salvation, through the wise combination of spiritual enthusiasm and transmutation of our creative energies. This lecture encompasses the common, greater, and limitless levels of motivation, and the inner, outer, and secret levels of bodhichitta, how it relates to spiritual birth, the Four Ethers of the Vital Body and how it relates to meditative concentration, the Four Immeasurables, the Six Paramitas, the Windhorse Energy, and Resurrection. Bodhicitta is just like the supreme kind of alchemical elixir, For it transforms this impure body we have taken Into the priceless jewel image of the Victorious One's body. Therefore, very firmly seize (this elixir) called bodhicitta! - Bodhicaryavatara, 1:10

To understand the role of sexuality in our development, we start by examining the first words of the Bible and Torah in their original language (בראשית ברא אלוהים –Genesis 1:1), which reveal a sexual truth that is not visible in modern translations of the scriptures, yet is well-known in all Asian religions: that God is not male, but Elohim, a plural word that means "gods and goddesses" that emerge from AElohim (Parabrahma, Sunyata, the Emptiness). This is explained by the Prajanaparamita Sutra. We then study the Tree of Life to gain insight to in our place in the universe right now, including multiple dimensions, the types of beings in the universe, the four states of consciousness, our endocrine system and its purpose, and much more. This is just the preface of a journey deep into our history, present predicament, and potential future. "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form; emptiness is not other than form, form too is not other than emptiness." – Prajnaparamita, the Blessed Mother, the Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom

Learn how to experience the practical reality of Christ for yourself by following the sexual instructions given by Jesus and other great masters (rabbis). Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Are you a Rabbi of Israel, and do not know these things? Verily, verily, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are accomplished by God." - John 3: 1-21

Every religion and mythological tradition is based on stories of temptation: Adam and Eve, Pandora, Jesus, Samson, King David, etc. Everyone faces temptation, but few know that temptation is the basis of the path to liberation from suffering. When we are tempted, we face those qualities in ourselves that otherwise we would never see — such as our pride, envy, anger, and lust— thus when we are tempted to act on them that is the moment we can choose to deny them, eliminate them, and finally become free of them. Facing and overcoming temptation is the way to actually walk on the spiritual path. "Blessed is the one that endures temptation: for when tried, that one shall receive the crown of life [Kether, Chokmah, Binah], which the Lord has promised to them that love him. Let no one say when tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempted he anyone: But every one is tempted, when drawn away of one's own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death." —James 1:12-15 "Temptation is fire. Triumph over temptation is light." —Samael Aun Weor

This lecture defines the basis of karma and its role in the development of gnosis or self-knowledge. In life, there are three types of action. First are actions that are the outcome of accidents, or simply, they correspond to the law of accidents. Second are actions that are the outcome of karma. Third are actions performed by conscious will; these are truly characteristic of initiates, masters, those who already have an individual, conscious will. Samael Aun Weor, Beyond the Mind (lecture)

In early January, all Christians celebrate Epiphany (ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation, striking appearance"), also called Theophany, Little Christmas, or Three Kings' Day. Yet, they do not know the real meaning of the event, which relates to how the solar force (Christ) emerges in the initiate or true Jew. "Wisdom (Chokmah) is found on (Daath) the lips of the one who has (Binah) understanding, and (Vav) a rod is for the (גו) back of the heartless one." - Proverb 10: 13 "When we have formed our inner Christ, He then enters into all of our vehicles through the pineal gland. The inner Christ has the shape of a small child. He comes out from within (Daath) his Ethereal womb to enter into (Malkuth) our physical body through the pineal gland. This is the descent of Christ into the atomic infernos of the human being. This is the Nativity of the heart. It is how we transform ourselves into Christs. Nature does not leap; this is why our inner Christ is born within us as a small child." - Kundalini Yoga by Samael Aun Weor

The transfiguration of Jesus is a long alchemical and kabbalistic process that occurs within those who follow the path of initiation. First, one must generate Moses and transfigure him. Thereafter, through the exodus, Elijah incarnates and is taken alive into heaven. All of these generations and transformations happen within the spirit, soul and body of the alchemist. Yet, these mysteries are unknown to the uneducated, who have only been fed "milk" for babies: "For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." - Hebrews 5: 11-14 "And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him." - Matthew 17: 1-3

Meditation is only possible from a state of strong concentration, thus: "...concentration is the first and foremost thing a sadhaka or aspirant should acquire in the spiritual path." —Swami Sivananda Concentration practice is taught in every meditation tradition, yet concentration is not meditation itself; concentration is only the preparation for meditation. In yoga, concentration is called Dharana, and is the sixth step of Ashtanga Yoga. The development of concentration is scientific and methodical, and is possible for anyone to achieve. While developing concentration, one passes through stages: Kshipta: wandering Mudha: forgetful Vikshipta: gathering Ekagrata: one-pointed Nirudha: well-restrained This lecture provides an explanation of dharana and many practical tips to help you rapidly establish concentration. "Without wise concentration of thought, the experience of the truth is impossible." —Samael Aun Weor, Spiritual Power of Sound

Explains the qualities of the soul related to earth, water, fire, air, and space, how these qualities are tested on the Path, and common signs of lacking balance of the elements. In the solitude of these mysterious sanctuaries, the neophytes were submitted to the four Initiatic ordeals. The ordeals of fire, air, water and earth always defined the diverse purifications of the neophytes. The neophytes are submitted to the four Initiatic ordeals which are verified in the Internal Worlds. The human being still is not a king or queen of nature, but the human being is called to be a king in accordance to Melchizedeck. Disciples must be tested by the four elements in order to examine them. They are submitted to ordeals in the forty-nine regions of thought. These ordeals are for everyone, man and woman. One can help oneself by having pure thoughts, but this is not enough; Meditation is necessary. - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah

The foundation of initiation is love, and for love to manifest we must embody revolutionary ethics. Revolutionary ethics are the conscious use of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors which transform or revolutionize the energy of life in ways conducive for psychological liberation.

The fifth step of yoga is pratyahara, which literally means "withdrawal." This is the crux of yoga, the lever that lifts the consciousness to the heights of meditation. To master pratyahara, one must first have established the previous four steps of yoga, and then be able to control how the consciousness uses the senses. "When the mind follows the wandering senses, then it carries away one's discrimination, as the wind does a ship on the water..." — Krishna, Bhagavad-gita 2:67 "...concentration is the first and foremost thing a sadhaka or aspirant should acquire in the spiritual path." —Swami Sivananda "When, like the tortoise that withdraws its limbs on all sides, one withdraws the indriya from sense-objects, then consciousness becomes steady." — Krishna, Bhagavad-gita 2:67

Yoga is acheived through the development and perfection of discrimination: the knowledge that reveals what is real and what is not. "The afflictions are avidya [ignorance], egoism, attachment, hatred, and clinging to life. Avidya [ignorance] is the field of those (afflictions) that follow, whether they be in a dormant, thinned out, overpowered or expanded condition. Avidya [ignorance] is taking the non-eternal, impure, painful, and not-self as the eternal, pure, happy Self. The method for the removal of ignorance is the continuous practice of vivekakhyati." —Patanjali, Yoga Sutras "The knowers [who] behold Reality will teach you knowledge—having known which, you will not again succumb to confusion… Even if one is the most sinful of all sinners, one shall yet cross over the ocean of sin by the raft of Self-knowledge alone. As the blazing fire reduces wood to ashes; similarly, the fire of Self-knowledge reduces all bonds of karma to ashes..." —Krishna, Bhagavad-gita "Bliss is the essential nature of man… Man's essential nature is divine, the awareness of which he has lost because of his animal propensities and the veil of ignorance." —Swami Sivananda

Jesus indicated which commandments are most important for us to follow, but to understand them fully one needs to know a bit of hebrew, alchemy and kabbalah, since Jesus is a master of them all. "And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is: Hear, Israel; Iod-Chavah our Elohim is one Iod-Chavah: And thou shalt love את Iod-Chavah thy Elohim with all thy לבב heart,and with all thy נפש soul,and with all thy דעת mind,and with all thy מאד strength:This is the first commandment. - Mark

The fifteenth arcanum of the Tarot is Passion, also called "The Devil," and relates to our ego and the means to eliminate it. Central to that process is Lucifer ("Bearer of Light"), also known as Prometheus, Mefisopheles, Mara, etc. Divinity sends Lucifer to tempt those who want to reach perfection, as seen in the stories of Jesus, Job, Buddha, etc. Lucifer is the serpent made by Jehovah Elohim in order to tempt Adam and Eve through sex. "How art thou fallen from heaven, (הילל בן שחר Hilel ben Shachar) praised one, son of the dawn! how are thou cut down to the Earth, to become weak among the Goyim! And thou has said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of (El ) אל God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; אדמה Adamah will be as the most High. But first thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit (the ninth sphere)." -Isaiah 14: 12-15

In Tibetan Buddhism, the lunar month of Saga Dawa (which in 2017 is May 26 to June 24) is the most important time of year; in other Buddhist traditions it is called Vesak, Vesākha (Pali), Vaiśākha (Sanskrit), Buddha Purnima, etc. During this four week time all Buddhists honor the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha Shakyamuni by intensifying their spiritual practices and acts of generosity. In this lecture we will discuss why this is important and how it relates to each of us, since no matter our beliefs, we have our own inner Buddha, and the potential to become a Buddha. That potential is called Budda Nature (Buddhadhatu, tathagatagarbha, etc), and the best way to develop it is through the full understanding and expansion of Bodhichitta. "…hidden within the kleshas [negative mental traits] of greed, desire, anger, and stupidity there is seated augustly and unmovingly the tathagata's wisdom, the tathagata's vision, and the tathagata's body. Good children, all beings, though they find themselves with all sorts of kleshas, have a tathagatagarbha that is eternally unsullied, and that is replete with virtues no different from my own." —Tathagatagarbha Sutra "Whatever joy there is in this world All comes from desiring others to be happy, And whatever suffering there is in this world, All comes from desiring myself to be happy. But what need is there to say much more? The childish work for their own benefit, The Buddhas work for the benefit of others. Just look at the difference between them!" —Shantideva

If the truth is a fact, it must be a fact we can confirm as true, thus the "self" must be something singular, factual, and provable. This lecture explains how meditation leads to the experience of the real self. Includes discussion of the tree of life, personality, ego, consciousness, and much more.
