Popularly called "the Wheel of Samsara," the Bhavachakra is one of the most important symbols in Buddhism, being an illustration of everything that exists and how existence functions. While the superficial, public-level meanings are fairly well-known (such as the three poisons, the twelve nidanas, the six realms), few know that the actual purpose of the symbol is very deep, revealing the inner workings of our mind, and thereby illustrates the source of suffering (samsara) or liberation from suffering (nirvana). This is a lecture from the free online course Bhavachakra: The Wheel of Becoming: The Real Message of Buddhism Course Description: Popularly called "the Wheel of Samsara," the Bhavachakra is one of the most important symbols in Buddhism, being an illustration of everything that exists and how existence functions. While the superficial, public-level meanings are fairly well-known (such as the three poisons, the twelve nidanas, the six realms), few know that the actual purpose of the symbol is very deep, revealing the inner workings of our mind, and thereby illustrates the source of suffering (samsara) or liberation from suffering (nirvana). "Those who are suffering or who fear suffering, think of Nirvana as an escape and a recompense. They imagine that Nirvana consists in the future annihilation of the senses and the sense-minds; they are not aware that Universal Mind and Nirvana are One, and that this life-and-death world and Nirvana are not to be separated. These ignorant ones, instead of meditating on the imagelessness of Nirvana, talk of different ways of emancipation. Being ignorant of, or not understanding, the teachings of the Tathagatas, they cling to the notion of Nirvana that is outside what is seen of the mind and, thus, go on rolling themselves along with the wheel of life and death." - Buddha Shakyamuni, Lankavatara Sutra

Every religion describes basic elements (air, fire, water, earth) as the basis of all manifested things, but few people realize that these are not literal, physical elements, but allegories of psychological and spiritual forces within us. Genuine spiritual awakening is based on harnessing and directing these forces within ourselves, and developing the Fifth Element, the "quintessence," (the kundalini) whose true nature was always kept secret, until now. "From Atman did space come into being; from space, air; from air, fire; from fire, the waters, from the waters, the earth; from the earth, plants; from plants, food; and from food, man..." - Taittirīya Upaniṣad "The Magi in their wisdom asserted that all creatures might be brought to one unified substance, which substance they affirm may, by purifications and purgations, attain to so high a degree of subtlety, such divine nature and occult property, as to work wonderful results. For they considered that by returning to the earth, and by a supreme magical separation, a certain perfect substance would come forth, which is at length, by many industrious and prolonged preparations, exalted and raised up above the range of vegetable substances into mineral, above mineral into metallic, and above perfect metallic substances into a perpetual and divine Quintessence, including in itself the essence of all celestial and terrestrial creatures." - Paracelsus, The Aurora of the Philosophers Read the lecture transcription.

"Know yourself, and you will know the universe and its gods." - The Oracle at Delphi "As fire is the direct cause of cooking, so knowledge and not any other form of discipline is the direct cause of liberation, for liberation cannot be attained without knowledge." - Shankara

As difficult or uncertain as life may be, there is a way to transform life—and death—into a source of benefit. By learning to be present, here and now, we can learn how to transform our perception and experience of each moment. Change is possible through the activation of attention, conscious will, self-observation, and self-remembering. By learning about our intellect, heart, and body, their distinction from perception, we gain the power to transform ourselves and our future. Discusses spiritual psychology, meditation, transformation of energy, use of attention, time, relativity, and prophecies for our future. "...Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. [...] Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." - Matthew 24 This is a lecture from the free online course Self-knowledge: The Importance of This Moment Course Description: The fundamental basis of all spirituality is the urge to escape from suffering, and the means to do it is always the same: awaken the consciousness, and liberate it from conditioning.

The stories of the Exodus of the Israelites and the ordeals Job suffers in the hands of Satan are deeply related, and symbolize processes of initiation on the path to develop the soul completely. This lecture describes how initiation relates to Kabbalah, and explains Exodus, sexuality, the Tree of Life, and the three types of Adept—Adeptus Minor, Adeptus Major, and Adeptus Exemptus. This is a lecture from the free online course Gnostic Moses: The Herald of Christ Course Description: One of the most important figures in religion is משה Moshe (Moses), yet his true identity and importance has been hidden for centuries behind the veil of Kabbalah. This course removes the veil so that anyone who wants to see the truth can do it. To follow Christ, the energy of life, is to incarnate that force within. The way to do this is hidden in the Bible and the Hebrew letters. This course explains the symbol of Moses in relation with our spiritual development and the spinal column, and discusses the Zohar, Genesis, the teachings of Gurdjieff, and much more.
