Gnostic Teachings Podcast

In accordance with Kabbalah and Alchemy, explains the meaning of chapter four of the Book of Revelation. Quoted from the lecture: "This chapter, being the fourth, builds upon the themes set forward in the first three chapters. In the first, we were introduced to a certain level of symbols: John, as the writer of this book, symbolizes the Initiate, or the person who is working to advance on the Path of the Self-Realization of the Being. We were also introduced to the character of the Son of Man, who is the Intimate Christ. The fundamental relationship between them provides the basis upon which the entire book must be understood. John, as the Initiate, represents what in Gnosis is called the Human Soul, and the Human Soul is our essential Human Consciousness, which in us, in our current state, is undeveloped. But by applying the sciences of Kabbalah and Alchemy, the Essence of that Human Soul can be developed towards its full potential. John is a symbol of that."
