All spiritual aspirants learn methods of transforming energy, but only those in the highest levels of instruction learn the real reasons why and how. "Pranayama is the control of all life-forces." - Sankaracharya "Pranayama is not, as many think, concerned solely with the breath; breath indeed has very little to do with it. Breathing is only one of the many exercises through which we get to the real pranayama." - Vivekananda, Raja Yoga "The aim of Pranayama is the control of Prana. Pranayama begins with the regulation of the breath for having control over the life-currents or inner vital force. In other words, Pranayama is the perfect control of the life-currents through control of breath. Breath is external manifestation of the gross Prana. A correct habit of breathing must be established by the regular practice of Pranayama. [...] There is intimate connection between the mind, Prana and semen. If one controls the seminal energy, the mind and Prana are also controlled. He who has controlled his seminal energy has also controlled his Prana and mind." - Sivananda, The Science of Pranayama This is a lecture from the free online course Fuel for Spiritual Experience: Meditation and Energy Course Description: Spiritual experiences are not difficult to have if you know the laws of nature that manage them.

This fuel is our oil of gold. It is our Christonic semen. The human being who wastes his sacred oil cannot light his candlestick." - Samael Aun Weor, Igneous Rose "The following Cosmic Law was taught to me upon another occasion: “You must never mix within the same house two contrary forces, because a third force, which is destructive for everybody, is the result of this mixture of two opposite currents.” The Vital Body is constituted of four ethers: A) Luminous ether; B) Reflective ether; C) Chemical ether; D) Ether of life. The first of these ethers is found intimately related with the diverse functions of willpower and imagination. The second ether is found secretly associated with all the sensorial and extra-sensorial perceptions. The third is the foundation of all biochemical and organic processes. The fourth serves as a medium for the forces that work with the processes of reproduction of the races. I learned to liberate the two superior ethers in order to travel with them far away from the physical body during the Second Initiation of the Fire. Unquestionably, clairvoyant and clairaudient perceptions are extraordinarily intensified when one absorbs the two superior ethers in one's Astral Body. These ethers permit us to bring into the physical brain the totality of the supra-sensible memories." – Samael Aun Weor This is a lecture from the free online course Fuel for Spiritual Experience: Meditation and Energy Course Description: Spiritual experiences are not difficult to have if you know the laws of nature that manage them.

And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itself, and a brightness [was] about it, and out of the midst thereof as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire."

"We must delve for the basic science of interpretation of dreams in the Law of Philosophical Analogies, the Law of the Analogies of the Contraries and the Law of Correspondences and Numerology. The astral images reflected in the magical mirror of imagination must never be translated literally, since these are only the symbolic representations of archetypal ideas. These must be handled in the same manner as a mathematician handles algebraic symbols. It is not irrelevant to affirm that such a type of ideas descend from the Pure World of the Spirit. Obviously, the archetypal ideas that descend from our Being become marvelous, for they inform us now about the psychological state of any centre of our organic machine, now about very intimate esoteric matters, now about possible successes or dangers, etc. These archetypal ideas are always covered with the marvelous garment of symbolism. To uncover this or that astral symbol, this or that figure, with the purpose of extracting its essential idea, is only possible by means of the logical and confrontative meditation of the Being." – Samael Aun Weor, The Secret Doctrine of Anahuac This is a lecture from the free online course Defense for Spiritual Warfare: Prayers and Methods for Protection Course Description: Every religion provides methods of spiritual defense for protection against harmful entities and forces.
