Machinery of the Soul 01 The Three Brained Machine
An outline of the evolution and devolution of the Three Brains, which are required to self-realize the three primary forces known as Father, Son, and The Holy Spirit in Christianity. A quote: It is necessary for the Earth to transform all of these different types of energy. The Earth needs to transform energy related to the mineral kingdom, the earth needs to transform energy related to the plant kingdom, and also to the animal and humanoid kingdom. Why is that? If you look at all the different organs of the physical body, there are all different types of organ systems, which handle different types of energy, and it is all necessary. The Earth exists in space, and there is a lot of invisible cosmic rays and energy that we are not aware of, that are going into the Earth which are related to the whole solar system. We might know that there are some types of radiation, cosmic radiation, x-rays, etc., but materialistic science doesn't really understand what is going on there. That energy is similar to the different types of energy that go through out body, related to chemical processes which go on in our blood all the time. Our life exists on a cellular level, so, the exchange of energy is within and between cells, and by breaking chemical bonds to liberate energy to run the human machine. The solar system, outside in space, is using magnetism and electricity to transmit that type of energy. The solar system is operating in an electronic sense.

That sounds very strange to us, but the Absolute is an abstract space, and that is where our Being comes from. Our Being manifests into forms... if our Being has the capacity to manifest in any form, it must be beyond form. It is empty of form. No form contains it."

Practical Spirituality 05 The Obstacles to Yoga and Their Antidotes
This lecture continues the explanation of the first chapter of the Yoga Sutras by Patanjali, specifically addressing the chief obstacles to yoga (union), and how to overcome them. The key passage says: "These are the obstacles [to achieving yoga]: disease, dullness, doubt, carelessness, laziness, intemperance, worldliness or sensuality, mistaken notions due to illusions, missing the point, instability, causing distractions of the mind. Pain, despair, tremor of the body, [irregular] inhalation and exhalation are the companions of the causes of distraction [oscillation of the mind]. To prevent these, [one should have] intense practice on one subject." — Patanjali, Yoga Sutras 1:30-32

Kabbalah of Genesis 24 Eden & Menorah
A deep and powerful examination of Kabbalah and Hebrew in relation with Enoch, Metatron, and Abraham. Includes discussion of the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge, the Zohar, the Manna, and much more. "The ring of bronze is emphatically referred to (amongst others) as a symbol of time. Cyclically, it conducts the Gnostic arhat to that ancient patriarchal epoch, denominated the Age of Bronze, or Dvapara Yuga, which indubitably preceded our contemporary Age of Iron, or Kali Yuga... The best authors of occultism have always affirmed that the second transalpine catastrophe, which completely modified the geological physiognomy of the planet Earth, occurred between these two ages. The seventh, among the ten sublime anti-delugean patriarchs, is without any supposition, completely different from the six who in the course of the centuries preceded him... (Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared), as well as the three who succeeded him (Methuselah, Lamech, Noah). Nonetheless, it is clear that among all of this, what is more astonishing for us is the sacred name of Enoch, which when translated signifies, "initiate; devotee; consecrated one; master." The Hebraic Genesis (5:24) solemnly asseverates that Enoch did not truly die physically, but rather "Enoch walked with God and was not; for God took him." Very ancient esoteric traditions, which are lost within the night of the centuries, clearly say that while Enoch was upon the majestic summit of Mount Moria, he had a clairvoyant samadhi in which his illuminated objective consciousness was taken and transported into the nine heavens (which are cited by Dante in his Divine Comedy). In the last one of these heavens (in the heaven of Neptune), the patriarch found the Lost Word (his own Verb, his individual, particular Monad). Posteriorly, that great hierophant wanted to express his vision through a permanent and imperishable monument... Thus, he then absolutely determined with great wisdom to build under that blessed place itself a subterranean, secret temple, which was comprised of nine cellars successively arranged one under another, within the living innermost parts of the mount... Certainly, his son Methuselah was the physical architect in charge of such an extraordinary sancta... The specific and defined contents and the destiny of each one of these cellars or magical caves (which were connected to one another by means of a spiralling ladder) is not mentioned... Nonetheless, the last of these caves is the one which absorbs the whole occult importance. Therefore, the anterior cellars just constitute the indispensable secret path that finally leads to the last cellar, within the greatest profundity of the mountain... Within the latter, the "penetral" or most intimate "sancta," is where the Patriarch Enoch deposited his most valuable, esoteric treasure... The "Golden Fleece" of the ancient ones, the ineffable and imperishable treasure that we search for, is never found on the surface. Rather, we must excavate, dig, and search within the innermost parts of the Earth until finding it... By courageously descending into the innermost parts or infernos of the mount of revelation, the initiate finds for himself the mystical treasure (his divine Monad), that was preserved throughout all the innumerable centuries which preceded us in the course of history... We can still read the following in Revelations 2:17: To him that overcomes 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 knows saving he that receives it." - Samael Aun Weor

Beginning Here and Now: Our Dreamlike State of Existence
Explains the three primary aspects of consciousness, the process by which we find ourselves in our current state of confusion and suffering, and how to free ourselves from this confusion. "We are constantly perceiving the world in a way that doesn't actually correspond to reality. We receive the world, and impress that world upon our mind in a way that does not correspond to the actual state of affairs. When you start to think, "Why do I keep making mistakes? Why do I keep striving at something and I can't seem to get it?" It is because we are continuously seeing the world in the wrong way, and we are basing our actions off misperceptions."

Practical Spirituality 4 The Yoga of Devotion
The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali explain that intense devotion to Ishvara can bring about Samadhi (ecstasy). Learn about real Bhakti Yoga, the real identity of Ishvara, the true Guru or Master, and how the stages of Yoga really work. Includes discussion of the psychological and ethical basis of yoga, what Japa is, and the power of the mantra OM. "Under whatever name and form, it is Isvara who is adored. Worship goes to the Indweller, the Lord in the form. It is ignorance to think that one form is superior to another. All forms are one and the same. All are adoring the same Lord. The differences are only differences of names due to differences in the worshippers, but not in the object of adoration. The real Jesus or Krishna is in your own heart. He lives there for ever. He is your Indweller. He is your partner always. There is no friend like the Indweller. Resort to Him. Take refuge in Him. Realise Him and be free." - Swami Sivananda

Kabbalah of Genesis 23 Iod, the River of Eden
The mysteries of Kabbalah and Alchemy are hidden within allegorical legends, which are like buried coffins that hide spiritual treasures, written by Initiates and rediscovered by Initiates. However, ignoramuses generally interpret these mysteries literally. "In the ancient book of Enoch, the course of the Celestial River of life is described as resembling the letter Iod." - Zohar This profound lecture reveals deep meanings hidden by Moses in the book of Genesis, especially related to the sexual nature of the waters of Eden. Also discusses the hands (יָד), the Tarot, the book of Enoch, the Zohar, the Hebrew letters, the rivers of Eden, the wives of the Patriarchs, the astral body, and much more.

Kabbalah of Genesis 21 Kabbalistic & Alchemical Bodies
This lecture continues the previous lecture "Abraham the Innermost," and explains the symbolism of his wives and children, as well as the meanings of mount Moriah, Mount Sinai, and the Mount of Olives. There is more to us than a physical body; learn about the internal bodies created through alchemy, that "Second Birth" described by Jesus when he said, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the pneuma, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the pneuma is pneuma. The pneuma bloweth where it listeth. . . . So is every one that is born of the pneuma." - John 3 And Paul wrote, "All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of anthrōpos humans, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also epouranios heavenly bodies, and epigeios terrestrial bodies: but the glory of the epouranios is one, and the glory of the epigeios is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a psychikos soul body; it is raised a pneumatikos spiritual body. There is a psychikos body, and there is a pneumatikos body. And so it is written, The first anthrōpos human Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a giving life spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is pneumatikos, but that which is psychikos; and afterward that which is pneumatikos. The first man is of the earth, choïkos earthy: the second man [Chokmah] is the Lord from ouranos heaven. As is the choïkos, such are they also that are choïkos: and as is the epouranios, such are they also that are epouranios. And as we have borne the image of the choïkos, we shall also bear the image of the epouranios. Now brothers, I tell you this: Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, and corruption cannot inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye [the pineal eye], at [Binah] the last trumpet: for [the seventh angel sounded] the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our [Inner] Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as you know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord." - 1 Corinthians 15: 39-58

Christmas Greetings from Glorian Publishing (2014)
Christmas was originally a celebration of the compassion of the Light known as Christ, Apollo, Krishna, Chenresig, and many other names, who comes into the world to save us from ourselves. In gratitude to that Light, and in gratitude to all of you, we offer a bit of spiritual inspiration in the form of a podcast episode about that Light. Includes a reading from The Pistis Sophia, the teaching dictated by Jesus after his resurrection, as well as an explanation of the alchemical word Azoth and how it relates to Christ.

Corruption of Scripture in Early Christianity
Although modern believers assume the Bible has always existed as it is now, that is far from the facts. In reality, the scriptures have been steadily transformed over many centuries, resulting in changes in what people believe about Christianity. By investigating the original scriptures, one can begin to see that modern Christianity is quite different from what Jesus actually taught.
