The Nychthemeron is an ancient symbolic mystery of twelve hours, that hide the mysteries of spiritual initiation. Each hour relates to steps in the process of initiation, and in many levels or cycles of development. Nychthemeron: Greek νυχθήμερον, nychthēmero; spelled nuctemeron, nychthemeron, nycthemeron, or nuchthemeron. From the Greek νυχθήμερον, from the words nykt- "night", and (h)emera "day, daytime") is a period of 24 consecutive hours. Nychthemeron literally means "a night and a day" or "the night enlightened by the day." It is equivalent to: "And the evening and the morning were the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth day." - Genesis 1 The beginning of the Nychthemeron is the point where the setting sun intersects the circle of the horizon. Therefore the Nychthemeron extends from the moment when the sun disappears from the horizon till his disappearance on the following day. "Are they Diakonos (Bodhisattvas) of Christ? (I speak as the fool) I am more. I have been in (the 12) labors more abunda

Real spiritual development is a creative process that develops the consciousness and prepares the soul to express the divinity of the Being. Lecture quote: "In the genuine Gnostic tradition-in ancient Egypt, Greece, Mexico, wherever you find the ancient Gnostic tradition-you always find that the highest ideal is beauty. Beauty in Hebrew is Tiphereth, and is found on the Tree of Life (Kabbalah); beauty is related with the Human Soul. This sphere on the Tree of Life (Tiphereth) corresponds directly to our Human Soul, to our human consciousness, and is that which gives us real value, gives us the capacity to be alive. It is the essence, the very nature of our soul. It is with beauty that the soul is developed - by the influence, by the effect, by the development and cultivation of beauty. So, this is the great art: the Great Work. The greatest art is the cultivation of the beauty of the Human Soul - of Tiphereth."

It is also possible to experience God (Atman, Buddha, Allah, or whatever we call That Which Is) for oneself. The truth of existence is that we are deeply connected with each other, and the Divine is that unitive force. But unfortunately, because of the psyche that our own hands have made, because of our own psychology, we have lost the ability to perceive it. This is because of the nature of the psyche that we have made for ourselves. Our psyche is intensely self-obsessed. Our mind is obsessed with its desires, fears, cravings, aversions.

Man, know thyself, and thou wilt know the Universe and its Gods. The more we explore this internal world called “myself,” the more we will comprehend that we simultaneously live in two worlds, in two realities, in two confines: the external and the internal. In the same way that it is indispensable for one to learn how to walk in the external world so as not to fall down into a precipice, or not get lost in the streets of the city, or to select one's friends, or not associate with the perverse ones, or not eat poison, etc.; lik

He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children,

Most people follow a spiritual path in accordance with their psychological habits, the cause of their suffering, thus their spiritual path results in little or no genuine experience of spiritual truth. Real spiritual development begins when we balance the three fundamental areas (three brains) of our psyche and use them consciously, thereby creating psychological equilibrium. This is how one enters the Path of the Balance.  "A perfect equilibrium between personality and Essence, the harmonious development of thought, emotion, and movement, and a revolutionary ethics are what constitute the basis of a fundamental education. - Samael Aun Weor, Fundamentals of Gnostic Education In the staged arts of long ago, the individual would receive information in his three brains: motor, emotional, and intellectual. In the schools of today however, only the intellectual brain receives information. Neurosis and the sick states of the mind are due to this. Mental disequilibrium is avoided by balancing the three brains. - Sam
