Greek Mysteries 02 The Path of Balance, Part 1
Most people follow a spiritual path in accordance with their psychological habits, the cause of their suffering, thus their spiritual path results in little or no genuine experience of spiritual truth. Real spiritual development begins when we balance the three fundamental areas (three brains) of our psyche and use them consciously, thereby creating psychological equilibrium. This is how one enters the Path of the Balance. "A perfect equilibrium between personality and Essence, the harmonious development of thought, emotion, and movement, and a revolutionary ethics are what constitute the basis of a fundamental education. - Samael Aun Weor, Fundamentals of Gnostic Education In the staged arts of long ago, the individual would receive information in his three brains: motor, emotional, and intellectual. In the schools of today however, only the intellectual brain receives information. Neurosis and the sick states of the mind are due to this. Mental disequilibrium is avoided by balancing the three brains. - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah This is a lecture from the free online course Greek Mysteries. Course Description: Symbolized in the mythologies of the Gods and heroes, monsters and wars, are profound truths about our souls and the path to reach a divine state. These lectures were originally gven live and unscripted on Gnostic Radio.

The myth of the abduction of Persephone hides the powerful knowledge of the Eleusinian mysteries. Includes discussion of our three brains, the consciousness, the ego (klipha), the Divine Mother, Hades, and more. Orphic Hymn 29 to Persephone (Greek hymn 3rd B.C. to 2nd A.D.): "Hymn to Persephone. Daughter of Zeus, Persephone divine, come, blessed queen, and to these rites incline: only-befotten, Plouton's [Haides'] honoured wife, O venerable Goddess, source of life: ‘tis thine in earth's profundities to dwell, fast by the wide and dismal gates of hell. Zeus' holy offspring, of a beauteous mien, Praxidike (avenging Goddess), subterranean queen. The Eumenides' [Erinyes'] source, fair-haired, whose frame proceeds from Zeus' ineffable and secret seeds. Mother of Eubouleos [Dionysos-Zagreos], sonorous, divine, and many-formed, the parent of the vine. Associate of the Horai (Seasons), essence bright, all-ruling virgin, bearing heavenly light. With fruits abounding, of a bounteous mind, horned, and alone desired by those of mortal kind. O vernal queen, whom grassy plains delight, sweet to the smell, and pleasing to the sight: whose holy form in budding fruits we view, earth's vigorous offspring of a various hue: espoused in autumn, life and death alone to wretched mortals from thy power is known: for thine the task , according to thy will, life to produce, and all that lives to kill. Hear, blessed Goddess, send a rich increase of various fruits from earth, with lovely peace: send health with gentle hand, and crown my life with blest abundance, free from noisy strife; last in extreme old age the prey of death, dismiss me willing to the realms beneath, to thy fair palace and the blissful plains where happy spirits dwell, and Plouton [Haides] reigns." Plato, Meno 81a (4th B.C.): "Sokrates : There were certain priests and priestesses who have studied so as to be able to give a reasoned account of their ministry [i.e. the priests of the Mysteries]; and Pindar also and many another poet of heavenly gifts. As to their words, they are these : mark now, if you judge them to be true. They say that the soul of man is immortal, and at one time comes to an end, which is called dying, and at another is born again, but never perishes. Consequently one ought to live all one's life in the utmost holiness. `For from whomsoever Persephone shall accept requital for ancient wrong, the souls of these she restores in the ninth year to the upper sun again; from them arise glorious kings and men of splendid might and surpassing wisdom, and for all remaining time are they called holy heroes amongst mankind.'"

An extensive examination of the most important foundations for a strong meditation practice. Includes a detailed explanation of the important scripture "Three Principal Paths" by Tsong Khapa. "3. Without pure renunciation, there is no way to end this striving for pleasant results in the ocean of life.

Leisure and fortune are hard to find, life is not long; think it constantly, stop desire for this life. Think over and over how deeds and their fruits never fail, and the cycle's suffering: stop desire for the future. "5.
