Gnostic Teachings Podcast

Everyone who meditates wants to acquire knowledge, understanding, yet few know how to do it, especially at will, everytime they meditate. To meditate on any given object — whether a problem, dream, scripture, mantra, or anything else — requires an exact, scientific approach. Meditation is a science based on cause and effect: successfully acquiring new information thorugh meditation happens because of precise causes. Learn how to meditate on anything in order to gain insight, comprehension, objective knowledge. Reality is already there, one just needs to know how to perceive it.

Our spiritual practice should bring great change to our experience of life: but how? Learn how to provoke, measure, and guide real change in your life through truly effective meditation. By conscious observation of the facts, and through intuition and conscience, we reach comprehension: knowledge of reality. It is this knowledge that initiates the greatest change.

Explains the difference between the spirit and the soul, and the need to create or "synthesize" a new type of soul, which is not animal but truly human. The Sexual Hydrogen SI-12 is explained and how the Solar Astral, Mental, and Causal bodies are crystalized through sexual alchemy, and much more. A quote from the lecture: Every act of sexual alchemy or sexual magic is a baking of spiritual bread. The bread is fed to the inner Being. This is what they called in Egypt the sepulchral cakes of the city of Pe, which is in lower Egypt. Egypt is the body, lower Egypt is the sexual organs. The cakes of the city of Pe are brought up to the city of Heliopolis, which is upper Egypt. God, the Inner Being, feeds on those breads. We have to continue to bake and re-bake in order to make a better bread that is more nourishing. In the beginning the bread is of a certain quality which nourishes the inner Being, but as you remove the impurities and learn how to become more scientific within your own psychological laboratory, a

Continues the kabbalistic explanation of the biblical symbol of Lot escaping from Sodom and Gomorrah. Includes explanations of the Hebrew letters, the four elements of alchemy, the salts of alchemy, the twelve astrological signs, the rapture, and much more. "And (האנשים Ha’Enoshim) the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but .יהוה Abraham stood yet before And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And יהוה said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes. And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto יהוה, which am

Learn about the five souls in Kabbalah, the elements of Alchemy, the mother letters of Hebrew, and much more.  "And לוט Lot and his two daughters remained in the cave, and they made their father drink wine, and they lay with him, for they said there was no man upon earth that could raise up seed from them, for they thought that the whole earth was destroyed. - Jasher 19: 57  The Five Souls: Nephesh נפש: Animal Soul  Ruach רוח: Thinking Soul  Neshamah נשמה: Spiritual Soul  Chaiah חיה: Living Soul  Yehidah יחודה: Universal Soul

The purpose of meditation is to recover the ability to see illusions for what they are, and to see reality for what it is. Only in this way can we become liberated from suffering and find the purpose of our life. The root of our suffering is a profound ignorance about reality: like a blind person running down a dangerous path to chase a figment of the imagination, we chase after illusory images but cannot see where we are going or what is around us, thus we fall into pain again and again. When we comprehend the relationship between desire and pain, we can break the cycle of suffering. That comprehension emerges from observation and understanding of facts. Explains the three causes of suffering (ignorance, craving, aversion) and the universal trinity, also called trikaya: 1. Dharmakaya: truth / reality 2. Samboghakaya: compassion / wisdom 3. Nirmanakaya: intelligent action

This is what every meditator seeks: liberation, emancipation, moksha, samadhi, ecstasy, bliss... there are many names for it, and as many interpretations, but all of them point towards a precise state of consciousness that can be found within each one of us. This is because ecstasy or bliss is the natural state of the consciousness, the state it should be in at all times but which is prevented by our psychological condition. Bliss or liberation is not a physical sensation, but the experience of the soul when it is free of the cage of desire, ego, fear, lust, envy, etc. When out of those cages, the consciousness is revealed in its true nature: happiness, freedom, peace, compassion, wisdom. Bliss or liberation is also not a subjective state or something vague, mild, or uncertain: it is a radiantly clear experience of expanded perception, perfect relaxation and confidence, and effortless insight into even the most perplexing of problems. Any human being can access the state of ecstasy; all that is required is to

Sexuality is the most important and most powerful aspect of any spiritual tradition. This lecture explains the doctrine of sexual transmutation and provides quotes from Hinduism, Judiasm, Buddhism, and ancient Gnostic texts in support it. Explains the Christian Spiritual Marriage, the turning of the Jordan River, White and Black Tantra, and more.

One of the most powerful tools within us is our power of imagination. When developed, it is the lever that opens the perception of the past, present, and future. To hide its true nature people have hidden imagination behind diverting words like "clairvoyance, vipashyana, visions, prophecy, remote viewing, third eye, extrasensory perception," etc., but every one of these is nothing more than imagination in some form or another. Significantly, imagination is a polarity with many levels of development: the higher forms are positive, and the lower forms are negative. Believe it or not, you use them every single day, but without awareness of it. When you change that, you change your life. In this lecture, we will discuss the five primary forms of imagination, and practical exercises to develop our meditation practice effectively.

The ancient sphinx is a deep symbol that hides many valuable teachings about our spiritual potential. By studying the sphinx in relation with Kabbalah, the Bible, the Tarot, and Hebrew letters, we can begin to understand the path towards our full development.

All religions have ritual baths for removing impurities, but few realize the baths are symbolic of alchemy, the transmutation of sexual energy, and kundalini yoga. In fact, the Hebrew prayer used during the mikveh is a powerful mantra for the comprehension and elimination of our psychological defects. Learn about the Hebrew letters and words, Moses, meditation, willpower, the Tree of Life, and much more. Recorded at the 2016 Meditation Retreat. “Find this mysterious being called Who (מי Mi), and beyond him search in vain. But at the other extremity is another being known as What! (מה Mah). What distinguishes the one fromthe other? Who (מי Mi), 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 (מה Mah, the what). Then, what do we know, what understanding of him have we? What have we found out or discovered? Truly, all is mysterious, as at first, and מה( " ".Mah I take thee to witness

The fourth step of Ashtanga Yoga (Raja Yoga) is Pranayama, in which one harnesses the most powerful energy within us so that one can then access the following steps of Yoga (dharana, dhyana, samadhi). Pranayama stabilizes the mind and energy within us, making meditation possible. Includes explanations of prana, ojas, brahamacharya, nadis, and how to perform a basic pranayama exercise. "Or [peace of mind comes] by exhalation and retention of breath... After securing that steadiness of posture [asana] follows regulation of breath or the control of Prana, the cessation of inhalation and exhalation." —Patanjali, Yoga Sutras 1.34 and 2.49 “You can hardly make any spiritual progresswithout the practice of Pranayama.”- Swami Sivananda

The stages of meditative concentration lead to true serenity, and the remarkable quality of pliancy, when the body and mind have become totally pacified and happily serve the will of the consciousness. Therefore, whosoever wants to reach actual meditation needs to know how to recognize and navigate these stages of concentration: 1-2. Tight Focus. Requires strenuous effort. 3-7. Intermittent Focus. Interference of agitation and dullness. Unable to maintain long sessions. 8. Uninterrupted Focus. No interference by agitation or dullness. Able to maintain long sessions. 9. Spontaneous Focus.
 No interference, no exertion. Effortless focus. Complete pliancy and the establishment of perfect shamatha (concentration, serenity).

Explains the real meaning of intelligence, how it is a root aspect of our Being, and how it becomes mechanized into creation for the benefit for self-realization. "We have intelligence, but what we find when we try to do something, we can't see to get to that pure intelligence and just act, to do what we want to do. When we have a problem in life and we want to accomplish the solution to that problem. We want to move forward in life, but what happens? Immediately, there are obstacles. Or we achieve something, we get what we sought, but it ends up not being what we really want, which is some type of contentment, satisfaction, or happiness. We get what we want sometimes but we become jaded by the experience because it is not what we actually wanted - because we were mistaken. We saw the possibilities in a mistaken way. Intelligence (Binah in Kabbalah), is not just about creating. It is the capacity to see into the possibilities, to correctly discern the possibilities of the unmanifested potential."

The Bible is a book of alchemy that explains how to "be perfect as your Father in Heaven," and the way to do it is hidden in Kabbalah and the Hebrew words and letters. Learn about the Tree of Life, the types of souls, the difference between chastity and fornication, and much more.

The meditator ascends the nine stages of meditative concentration (serenity, shamatha) by recognizing the two essential features of concentration, recognizing the obstacles that impede it, and applying the antidotes.  At this stage of the course, students begin a new practice: concentration combined with visualization, and learn how to recognize:  Distinguishing Features of Concentration:  vivid intensity, intense mental clarity  stability, one-pointedness  Faults That Prevent Serenity:  Laziness  Forgetting the instructions  Not recognizing agitation and dullness  Not applying antidotes  Over-applying antidotes

Preparation for Meditative Serenity (concentration, shamatha) is made possible by adopting these simple principles: 1. Preparation: Conducive dwelling, Have little desire, Be content, Abandon useless activities, Pure ethical discipline, Stop thoughts of desires 2. Practice: Effective posture (Relaxation and Wakefulness). Effective practice (Mindfulness: attention is not distracted from object of concentration; and Vigilance: awareness of being distracted) When these basics are being applied daily, you can begin advancing through the stages of meditative concentration, which begin with the first two: First Stage: Settle the psyche by withdrawing attention from everything else, and direct it towards a single focus. Second Stage: Settling continually involves the attention that was directed initially to continue focusing without becoming distracted by anything else.
