Gnostic Teachings Podcast

Meditation is the central practice of Gnosticism. Yet, to meditate properly requires that no exertion be made. To learn this requires a daily effort to stabilize the consciousness in equanimity. Includes practical tips, an overview of an approach to daily meditation, the importance of the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path, and much more. This is a lecture from the free online course Meditation without Exertion. Course Description: The key to real meditation is a state of non-exertion, in which the mind returns to its natural state, where happiness, deep wisdom, and intelligent compassion emerge spontaneously. Here, direct knowledge of the truth arrives naturally. This short course provides a comprehensive investigation into what meditation actually is, especially as taught and explained in authentic scripture, in contrast to the thousands of confusing, contradictory theories and practices being promoted today. This is real meditation that results in powerful transformations and insights into existence.
