It is highly recommend that you read the accompanying pdf before listening to the lecture.

In order that (the fornicators) transgressors of the good law might not participate in it, and therefore the Holy One conceals and preserves it for the right-doers." - Zohar

Meditation Essentials 14 Understand a Problem
Once we know how to meditate on something — especially when meditating on problems that create suffering — new obstacles emerge, primarily our mechanical tendencies to interpret what we see. When we see new information in meditation or in dreams, it is essential to know how to interpret what we see accurately, and the first step is to ensure that we are not deluding ourselves with false interpretations. For this, we need to remember our three brains, the three traitors, and understand the levels of acquiring information: Imagination Inspiration Intuition Learn the guidelines to follow for interpreting visions and dreams, so that you do not fall into delusions or mistakes.

Kabbalah of Genesis 25 Nimrod and the Tower of Babel
The biblical story of Nimrod and the tower of Babel is an esoteric teaching of psychology, and by studying the Zohar, the Hebrew letters, and the Tree of Life, one can understand the path to liberation. This lecture explains the psychological basis of Genesis and the teachings of Jesus, while also indicating the practical method of eliminating the causes of our suffering. "Rabbi Simeon said: "The secret doctrine of Torah and its teaching have relation to two בbaith ( ביתhouses), or more explicitly the human ( ביתhouse) and divine ( ביתhouse), the lower and higher self, as it is written: And ( והיהva'heieh) Hei shall be for a sanctuary (to יIod and וVav); but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense to both ( הHei) the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. - Isaiah 8: 14 "Of these two ( היהHeis), one (in the throat) is a mystery beyond human comprehension, the other (in Yesod), though exceedingly occult, is within the range of the understanding (Binah). "The first ( הHei, in the throat) is symbolized by the Great Voice mentioned in (Deuteronomy 5: 23). 'The Great Voice את הקול Ath Ha'kwol that ceases not,' that is always resounding and speaking within us though unheard and unrecognized by the external ear. By it has been delivered and spoken the esoteric teachings known as 'the voice of Jacob' that they may become known. Now this great interior voice ( הקול- Hei'kwol) and the word ( אתAth) which expresses it are as it were two houses, the one visible, the other invisible. One is the eternal Wisdom ( חכמה עלאה Chokmah ilaah) hidden and concealed in (Daath) the divine mind and sent forth the great interior voice; the other the Voice of Jacob or esoteric teachings expressed by words, especially by the term בראשיתBarashith, or as it may be differently written and explained by the words ביתbaith ראשית reshith, meaning the house or doctrine called ראשיתreshith or beginning." - Zohar

Machinery of the Soul 05 The Alchemical Synthesis of the Soul PDF

Machinery of the Soul 05 The Alchemical Synthesis of the Soul
Explains the difference between the spirit and the soul, and the need to create or "synthesize" a new type of soul, which is not animal but truly human. The Sexual Hydrogen SI-12 is explained and how the Solar Astral, Mental, and Causal bodies are crystalized through sexual alchemy, and much more. A quote from the lecture: Every act of sexual alchemy or sexual magic is a baking of spiritual bread. The bread is fed to the inner Being. This is what they called in Egypt the sepulchral cakes of the city of Pe, which is in lower Egypt. Egypt is the body, lower Egypt is the sexual organs. The cakes of the city of Pe are brought up to the city of Heliopolis, which is upper Egypt. God, the Inner Being, feeds on those breads. We have to continue to bake and re-bake in order to make a better bread that is more nourishing. In the beginning the bread is of a certain quality which nourishes the inner Being, but as you remove the impurities and learn how to become more scientific within your own psychological laboratory, and you bake a better bread to nourish your Being at a superior level.

Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And יהוה said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto יהוה, which am but dust and ashes: Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it. And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake. And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake. And יהוה went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place." - Genesis 18: 22- 33

Meditation Essentials 11 Illusion and Reality
The purpose of meditation is to recover the ability to see illusions for what they are, and to see reality for what it is. Only in this way can we become liberated from suffering and find the purpose of our life. The root of our suffering is a profound ignorance about reality: like a blind person running down a dangerous path to chase a figment of the imagination, we chase after illusory images but cannot see where we are going or what is around us, thus we fall into pain again and again. When we comprehend the relationship between desire and pain, we can break the cycle of suffering. That comprehension emerges from observation and understanding of facts. Explains the three causes of suffering (ignorance, craving, aversion) and the universal trinity, also called trikaya: 1. Dharmakaya: truth / reality 2. Samboghakaya: compassion / wisdom 3. Nirmanakaya: intelligent action

Meditation Essentials 10 Bliss
This is what every meditator seeks: liberation, emancipation, moksha, samadhi, ecstasy, bliss... there are many names for it, and as many interpretations, but all of them point towards a precise state of consciousness that can be found within each one of us. This is because ecstasy or bliss is the natural state of the consciousness, the state it should be in at all times but which is prevented by our psychological condition. Bliss or liberation is not a physical sensation, but the experience of the soul when it is free of the cage of desire, ego, fear, lust, envy, etc. When out of those cages, the consciousness is revealed in its true nature: happiness, freedom, peace, compassion, wisdom. Bliss or liberation is also not a subjective state or something vague, mild, or uncertain: it is a radiantly clear experience of expanded perception, perfect relaxation and confidence, and effortless insight into even the most perplexing of problems. Any human being can access the state of ecstasy; all that is required is to know (1) how to position the consciousness and sustain it, and (2) how to recognize obstacles and extract oneself from them. In this lecture, we will bring together everything explained in the previous nine lectures, so you can understand how to access bliss and experience it for yourself.

Meditation Essentials 09 Imagination
One of the most powerful tools within us is our power of imagination. When developed, it is the lever that opens the perception of the past, present, and future. To hide its true nature people have hidden imagination behind diverting words like "clairvoyance, vipashyana, visions, prophecy, remote viewing, third eye, extrasensory perception," etc., but every one of these is nothing more than imagination in some form or another. Significantly, imagination is a polarity with many levels of development: the higher forms are positive, and the lower forms are negative. Believe it or not, you use them every single day, but without awareness of it. When you change that, you change your life. In this lecture, we will discuss the five primary forms of imagination, and practical exercises to develop our meditation practice effectively.

Gnostic Mysteries 10 Alchemical Bath
All religions have ritual baths for removing impurities, but few realize the baths are symbolic of alchemy, the transmutation of sexual energy, and kundalini yoga. In fact, the Hebrew prayer used during the mikveh is a powerful mantra for the comprehension and elimination of our psychological defects. Learn about the Hebrew letters and words, Moses, meditation, willpower, the Tree of Life, and much more. Recorded at the 2016 Meditation Retreat. "Find this mysterious being called Who (מי Mi), and beyond him search in vain. But at the other extremity is another being known as What! (מה Mah). What distinguishes the one fromthe other? Who (מי Mi), the concealed and hidden One, is he whom all created beings are seeking to know, but after all their efforts and endeavors, by the gaining of knowledge, they only come at last to (מה Mah, the what). Then, what do we know, what understanding of him have we? What have we found out or discovered? Truly, all is mysterious, as at first, and מה( " ".Mah I take thee to witness מה" :this is what the scripture refers to where it is written Mah) (what) shall I liken thee to?" When the temple at Jerusalem was ravaged and destroyed there was heard a voice crying aloud: "What (מה Mah) shall I testify concerning thee? (Lamentations 2:13) "For from the beginning of creation have I testified to thee." Also, is it written: "I call heaven and earth this day to record." (Deuteromomy 30:19) "(מה Mah) (what) shall be likened unto thee." "I will crown thee with crowns of holiness and make thee to rule over the world." So that it shall be said: "Is this the city called Beautiful, etc?" (Lamentations 2:15) "This is Jerusalem, the city most compacted in beauty." "(מה Mah) (what) shall equal thee?" That is, it shall ascend on high, where thou art sitting, and even as thou observest below, the holy people do not now enter the holy city; so I say unto thee I will not ascend there until the people have entered into thy walls below. Let this console and comfort thee. I will not ascend until, under the form of (מה Mah), I become like thee in all things. If the overflow of thy afflictions be like that of the sea, and if thou say there is no healing or remedy for thee, thou thinkest wrongly. (מי Mi) (who) shall heal thee? This is the highest scale of the mystery--the mystery of the being, upon whom dependeth all things. He shall heal and strengthen thee. (מי Mi) of the heavens above is the highest pole, (מה Mah) of the heavens below is the lower pole." — Zohar

After securing that steadiness of posture [asana] follows regulation of breath or the control of Prana, the cessation of inhalation and exhalation." —Patanjali, Yoga Sutras 1.34 and 2.49 "You can hardly make any spiritual progresswithout the practice of Pranayama."- Swami Sivananda

No interference, no exertion. Effortless focus. Complete pliancy and the establishment of perfect shamatha (concentration, serenity).

Machinery of the Soul 03 Intelligence and Mechanicity
Explains the real meaning of intelligence, how it is a root aspect of our Being, and how it becomes mechanized into creation for the benefit for self-realization. "We have intelligence, but what we find when we try to do something, we can't see to get to that pure intelligence and just act, to do what we want to do. When we have a problem in life and we want to accomplish the solution to that problem. We want to move forward in life, but what happens? Immediately, there are obstacles. Or we achieve something, we get what we sought, but it ends up not being what we really want, which is some type of contentment, satisfaction, or happiness. We get what we want sometimes but we become jaded by the experience because it is not what we actually wanted - because we were mistaken. We saw the possibilities in a mistaken way. Intelligence (Binah in Kabbalah), is not just about creating. It is the capacity to see into the possibilities, to correctly discern the possibilities of the unmanifested potential."
