The ninth and tenth precepts explained by the Zohar are compassion and veneration, which are hidden in the book of Genesis: "And your compassion and your veneration shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that creeps on the ground, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered." - Genesis 9:2. These precepts are intimately related with our sexual life, and prayer. "And Elohim said [to the alchemists], behold, I have given you [the Chaiah or soul of the mercury of] every חיה herb bearing [זרע zera semen or brute mercury or] seed, which is upon the face of all the earth and [the Chaiah חיה or soul of the mercury of] every tree, which is in the fruit of a tree yielding zera semen or brute זרע[ mercury or] seed; to you it shall be for food. - Genesis 1:29

The word practical means "applied, not merely theoretical." Thus, practical spirituality is something experienced and lived. This new course will describe how to live an essentially practical approach to religion: how to experience what is described in the scriptures of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity. Structurally, we will utilize the simple and effective approach of Yoga as taught by Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita, and Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. This is not a course of theory, belief, supposition, guesswork, or fantasy. Instead, the student will learn how to awaken their own perception of reality, and transform their experience of living, by setting aside harmful and useless behviors, and adopting behaviors that benefit themselves and others. In the first lecture, we learn about practical point of view of the course, and how to begin utilizing it in our daily lives: through using consciousness, attention, awareness. We also begin learning about how Krishna, the great teacher of Yoga, explained the three brains and how to use them spiritually: Karma Yoga: the path of work Bhakti Yoga: the path of devotion Jnana Yoga: the path of self-analysis and knowledge Raja Yoga: the path of psychic control Finally, we also study the eight steps of Raja Yoga (Ashtanga), as taught by Patanjali. The eight steps are: Yama: self-restraint Niyama: precepts Asana: posture; relaxation Pranayama: harnessing of life force Pratyahara: suspension of senses Dharana: concentration Dhyana: meditation Samadhi: super-conscious state, blissfulness, ecstasy

Note: Re-recorded,with new material (the original lecture was titled simply "Elohim"). Throughout the Judeo-Christian scriptures, the Hebrew word Elohim is utilized, but few know what it means, since it was improperly translated to mean "God," even though the word is plural. Learn about the real meaning of the Elohim, the Multiple Perfect Unity, and how it relates to our spiritual development. "Elohim stands in the congregation of El, who judges in the midst of the Elohim. I have said, you are Elohim; and all of you are children of עליון Elion [the Most High]. Nevertheless, as Adam you shall die, and fall like [Tiphereth] one of the princes." - Psalm 82: 1, 6, 7 "Lift up your eyes on high and behold who has created these." - Isaiah 40:26. Lift up your eyes on high. Where? To the place whither all eyes are turned. There [at the magnetic center - the root of the nose] between the opening of eyes. There you will recognize the mysterious Ancient One who created these and is the object of research. And who is he? It is Mi (who) that is called the summit of the heavens above, for all things exist by his will. Because he is the object concealed and invisible after which all seek. Therefore is this mysterious being called Who (Mi), and beyond him search in vain. Delve at the other extremity [of your spinal coumn] where is another being known as What! (Mah). What distinguishes the one from the other? Mi (who), 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 Mah (the what, the Divine Mother Kundalini)." - Zohar

"The Great Prakriti is my womb; in that I place the seed; thence, oh Bharata, is the birth of all beings! Whatever forms are produced, oh Kountreya, in any womb whatsoever, the Prakriti is their womb and I am the seed-giving father. Sattva, Rajas and Tamas these three Gunas (aspects or qualities) born of the Prakriti, oh mighty-armed one, bind fast the embodied to the body. Of these Gunas, Sattva which from its stainlessness is luminous and good, binds by attachment to happiness and by attachment to knowledge, oh, impeccable one. Know thou, oh, Kountreya, that Rajas is of the nature of passion, the source of desire and attachment; this Guna binds fast the embodied being to action. But know thou, oh, Bharata, that Guna Tamas is born of ignorance, deluding all embodied beings; it binds fast the embodied being, by heedlessness, laziness, and sleep [asleep consciousness, the sleep of consciousness]." - The Bhagavad-Gita

Take heed therefore that the light [φῶς] which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth enlighten thee." - Jesus, Luke 11 "All sicknesses have their beginning in some of three substances: Salt, Sulphur, or Mercury; that is to say, they can have their origin in the world of matter, the sphere of the soul, or in the kingdom of the mind." - Paracelsus

Learn how the Bible and the Zohar (the spirit of the Bible) hide the knowledge of Kundalini and initiation, in the Hebrew letters and symbolic stories. Scripture References: "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as Jonah יונה [a dove]. For as Jonah [יונה a dove] was three days and three nights in the [final Nun] big fish's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of [ה Hei] the earth." - Matthew 10: 16; 12: 40 "A great fish [letter Nun Final] coming from the left swims through all these waterways to poison and corrupt them. Its scales are as steel. From its mouth comes forth a lurid flame and its tongue is like a sharp sword. Its object is to force its way into the sanctuary of the great ocean to pollute and defile it and thus extinguish light, and causing the waters to become frozen, and the great circulatory water system may cease to operate. "The occult meaning of this mystery is expressed in the words of scripture, 'Now the serpent was wiser than any beast of the field which יהוה אלהים had made,' (Genesis 3: 1). This Ida serpent wished to accomplish his aim by first corrupting the brooklets below [in Yesod] and making them impure and bitter, so that flowing back to the great ocean their fountain head, it might become polluted. This is why he first seduced Adam and brought death into the world and entered into the heart of Adam from the left side. "There is, however, another serpent that comes from the right. These two serpents [Pingala and Ida] are they that are closely attached to [Sushumna] Adam during his lifetime, as scripture saith, 'of all the beasts of the field that יהוה אלהים had made,' these two are the most cunning, crafty and subtle in tempting and destroying Adam. Woe unto him [the Initiate] who allows himself to be led on and seduced by the serpent, for death irretrievable is his doom, physically, morally and spiritually, both to himself and to those associated with him, as in the case of Adam who wished to know and become expert in nature's secrets and occult science. In revealing them and exciting within him a fictitious joy and happiness, the serpent acquired that influence and control over Adam that contributed to and brought his ruin and downfall and thus caused him to suffer, as also his successors. From the day that Israel came to the foot [Yesod] of Mount Sinai, the impurity and corruption wrought by the serpent has not disappeared from the world [Malkuth]. - Zohar This lecture is from the free online course Gnostic Mysteries The scriptures of the Gnostics hide incredible knowledge for the sincere seeker: but to understand them, you must first understand Kabbalah, Hebrew, and Alchemy.

This course reveals the essential clues to understand how we got to where we are now. Learn about the reality of the development of the soul as it is hidden in the Kabbalah, the Bible, the Hebrew letters, and the Zohar.

The explicit instructions to see and commune with God, by means of the Aron Kodesh (AR-K). Lecture quote: "Anyone who has heard of or participated in Christianity or Judaism knows about "the Ark." Most Christians and Jews would say there are two Arks. But in fact, when we examine the scriptural evidence we discover there are not two Arks. Even if we study only the literal meaning of the scriptures we will find there are many more Arks in the Bible. If we rely on the Latin and later translations of the Bible, we can find at least four Arks. But if we look into the actual scriptures in the Hebrew language, we discover that there is not a single Ark anywhere in the scriptures. The word Ark does not appear in Hebrew, ever. Our English word "Ark" comes from a Latin word. We need to understand that this idea that we have inherited of a literal "Ark"—be it a boat or a box—is just a symbol, a myth. The real meaning is far more important and far more mysterious."

Explains the worldwide crisis in relation with evolution, psychology, ethics, and the use of the mind, especially in relation with spiritual initiation, which can be black or white. A quote from the lecture: When we use our sexual energy in relation with spirituality, it needs to be clearly elucidated that certain types of behavior develop our Consciousness by liberating it from the ego and that other types of behavior develop our ego. Both ways can give us experiences, both ways can empower the Consciousness to have an experience outside of our body or in the astral plane, but, only if we liberate our Consciousness will we be able have true objective knowledge. If you awaken your Consciousness in desire then you are what Homer would call a king in hell. You're developing those powers but you're developing them in hell. It's better to be a beggar in heaven than a king in hell. This is something that most people don't realize: that there are two ways.
