Gnostic Teachings Podcast

A basic introduction to a fundamental basis of Gnostic Psychology: the Sensual Mind, the Intermediate Mind, and the Inner Mind.

Discover the important difference between the consciousness and the intellect, how to simultaneously travel on the vertical and the horizontal path with equilibrium.

The next step after Self-observation: the transformation of impressions. "Life has an objective. A superior world is the objective of life. Thus, the Gnostic teachings teach us how to live in a superior world, how to live in a solar and immortal humanity; if one would not accept a superior world, transformation would then not have a purpose, this is obvious." - Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of the Dialectic Read the lecture transcription: Transformation of Life

How our daily life is influenced by karma, how different types of people make mistakes in life, and how awakening consciousness overcomes suffering.

The meanings and symbols hidden in the Kabbalah about the four-letter name of God: Jehovah or YHVH. Read the lecture transcription. Let us study the mysterious Tetragrammaton. τετραγράμματον is a Greek word that addresses the four Hebrew letters יהוה which according to Kabbalah spell the name of the Divinity. The Holy Bible, the Torah, and the Tanakh are books written based on the Zohar of the Kabbalah. In Gnosiswe always state that the doctrine that Moses gave to humanity was given in three ways: The Zohar , which is the spirit of the doctrine The Talmud, which is the soul of the doctrine The Bible, which is the body of the doctrine So the Bible itself and all the stories and the descriptions that we find in it are based on the spirit and the soul of the doctrine. In the Bible we find many stories related with the life of many prophets. In esotericism we name those prophets Aeons or Masters of the Day who reach the realization of their Being. They achieve complete Self-Realization. So, we call them Aeons

Gnostic Psychology recognizes that humanoids have three centers of intelligence within: an intellectual brain, an emotional brain, and a motor/instinctive/sexual brain. These are not physical brains; they are divisions of organized activity.

How to awaken the consciousness and the importance of psychological equilibrium. "It is written, “Narrow is the way that lead- eth unto light.” Whosoever wants to follow this path, “let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (the three factors in the revolution of the consciousness: to Die, to be Born, and to Sacrifice [Mark 8:34])." - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah

Another approach to viewing the situation we find ourselves in and how to change it: Gnostic psychology, Shakespeare's Macbeth, and the consciousness.

How to discover into real knowledge (Gnosis) through the development of conscious initution or intuitive understanding. As this lecture is primarily concerned with the Kabbalah, be sure to have a copy of the Tree of Life on hand in order to follow along with the lecture. (See: Tree of Life)

The Key of SOL  (Subject, Object, Location) is an introduction to Self-observation and inner self-remembering, practical techniques used in order to awaken the consciousness from moment to moment. "We wander in the streets with the consciousness asleep; we are in our house, in our job, in the body shop, in the office, etc., with the consciousness profoundly asleep.  We drive our car and we go to the factory with the consciousness tremendously asleep. People are born, they grow, they breed, they get old and die with the consciousness asleep; thus, they never know where they come from nor the objective of their own existence. What is most grave in this matter is that all of them believe that they are awake. For instance, many people are preoccupied in knowing many esoteric things, yet they never occupy themselves with the awakening of their consciousness.  If people had the purpose of awakening here and now, then immediately they could know all of that which for them are enigmas; this is why skepticism exists,

Continues the explanation of the Five Centers and Psychological Equilibrium given in other lectures. Includes the two superior centers, the creation of the soul and how to interpret visions and dreams.

The Sanskrit word Kundalini is derived from "kundala," which means ‘coiled," and is descriptive of the form of a specific energy when it is latent or "sleeping" in the common person. When through specific science this energy is activated or awakened, it illuminates the nervous system and energetic centers, activating superior senses and abilities. In Christianity, this energy is called the fire of Pentacost. In Judaism, it is the Shekinah. In Aztec mysticism, it is called Quetzalcoatl. In Buddhism, it is known as candali or tummo: "she who terrifies the ego." This lecture describes how to awaken the kundalini, the spiritual energy that is the basis of all existence. Read the lecture transcription. Lecture quote: "It is important for all sincere, serious spiritual seekers to have a very strong understanding of what Kundalini is because it is the energy that facilitates all spiritual development. The Kundalini is at the base of all existence. It is the raw foundational energy that the spiritual seeker wants to

Explaining the Path of the Lunatic (from Lunar), the Intermediate Path, the Spiral Path and the famed Straight Path, or the Way of the Bodhisattva.

There is a profound difference between ideas or beliefs about spirituality and the experience of spirituality. True spirituality or religion is not to be believed, but realized, actualized, in the heart. This lecture covers the difference between the Doctrine of the Eye (theories, beliefs, and ideas) and the Doctrine of the Heart (intuition, conscious faith and direct experience). This relates to both exoteric and esoteric schools, the exoteric being the "public and exterior," and the esoteric the "hidden or secret" doctrine.

Everyone talks about awakening the consciousness, but how many can define it? This lecture explains the human consciousness and the practical method to develop it. Includes the nature of perception, states of consciousness, meditation, and clairvoyance. Read the lecture transcription. Lecture quote: "In any spiritual or mystical tradition, or even in philosophy, there is a lot of discussion about consciousness, mind, or self. The purpose of religion or spirituality is to realize that self, to know that self, or to have Gnosis (direct knowledge) of that self. From that foundation it becomes obvious that we need to know what that self is, what the consciousness is, what the mind is. Our common interpretation or definition of consciousness has to be revised. Because we do not have a proper understanding of what consciousness really is, we suffer. Truthfully, you could say that the cause of all suffering is ignorance of consciousness or ignorance of self. By coming to know the self, or knowing what the consciou

Self-observation, Lucifer our psychological trainer, and the three aspects of the psychological gymnasium: 1) our spouse, 2) our friends, family and acquaintances, 3) and strangers. Also an explication into the nature of Genotype (inheritance), Phenotype (education) and Paratype (circumstances). This lecture was recorded at the 2007 Gnostic Retreat.

The required qualifications for any spiritual student or teacher, and advice for any student seeking spiritual guidance in relation to schools, teachers and teachings. Also, how to find your true Master. Read the lecture transcription. "The eastern traditions emphasize the importance of finding a teacher. However, this tradition has been imported to the west and has now been mingled with idiosyncrasy of our western mentality and there have been some unexpected results. In the west, we have a very different perspective of a teacher. In the western traditions we have a different point of view, which is rooted in both Greek and Hebraic psychologies, whether we are aware of it or not. All of us who have been raised in the west, have been formed in an environment in which the teacher is seen as a spiritual authority, as someone who can tell us what is right or wrong. In the east this is not so. There is a striking difference between eastern and western psychologies on this point, and you can see it if you look at

This lecture discusses seven very different types of people and how they see and experience spirituality and religion.

Real faith, the value of belief, and the means of true salvation. Faith is not a matter of believing or disbelieving, but practical experience. With the acquisition of true faith in the consciousness, as opposed to belief, one understands the true meaning of salvation. Read the lecture transcription. Lecture quote: There are always discussions or arguments related with this topic of ‘salvation.’ in which the fundamentalists or believers state that they are saved just by believing. Thus, indeed this word ‘believe’ is something that should be studied. If you look in the dictionary, ‘believe’ is made from two words: ‘be’ and ‘lieve’ (livid, lividus). "Be" is related to that famous phrase, ‘To be or not to be,’ while ‘lieve’ is related with love: ‘livid’ from Latin ‘lividus’ which is related with a strong emotion, love, desire. Thus we have be-liever (be-liver, be-lividus). So, thus ‘believe’ is ‘to hold dear or love emotionally that which is desirable,’ or that in which you put the ‘lividus,’ your liver in, as

The foundations of any real spiritual path is self-knowledge (gnosis), which also provides an opportunity to change the world.  Through self-improvement, the individual can directly impact the emergence of a better society. Read the lecture transcription. Lecture quote: "Those individuals who have stood out in the course of time, such as Beethoven or Mozart or Jesus, are individuals who learned how to awaken the consciousness, to utilize the consciousness itself as the commanding intelligence to dominate and best use this organism that we inhabit.  This is actually the whole reason, the whole purpose of the existence of all the ancient mystery schools.  If we look at and study any ancient mystery school such as the Essenes, the Greeks, the ancient Aztecs, the Tibetans, any of the ancient mysteries, we discover that their primary message was intensely psychological."
