Transformation of Energy 03 The Metallic Planets of Alchemy
Learn about the influence of the planets across the course of life and their importance in alchemy, or the science of transformation. Lecture quote: "We have to understand and comprehend that the fluid of the Logos is related with the seven main metals, because when we talk about the planets we always refer to the law of heptaparaparshinokh, which is the law of seven, the law that organizes. And that reminds me, or brings into my mind, the Book of Revelation; it is stated there that the lamb, which is a symbol of fire, or that fluidic energy, has seven eyes and seven horns. And it is because the Solar Christ or that fluidic energy organizes itself in this solar system, and in any solar system, through the law of seven, which are represented by the seven planets, related with the week. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which is of course a wrong organization, because the right organization of the planets is Moon the first, Mercury the second, Venus the third, Sun the fourth, Mars the fifth, Jupiter the sixth, and Saturn the seventh. So here we find the seven metals of the earth, silver for the Moon, quicksilver for Mercury, copper for Venus, gold for the Sun, iron for Mars, tin for Jupiter and lead for Saturn. So these seven metals are, we will say, in the kingdom of metals in any planet, the seven physical vehicles, in order for that fluidic force of the Logos, of that lamb of seven eyes and seven horns, to manifest in our world, in the earth. This is how we understand and comprehend that the Logos in its septuple activity helps the evolution of every single element in the earth." Read the lecture transcription.

Daath 03 The Wives of Adam
The real meanings hidden in the symbols of Cain, Abel, and Seth and the mark or seal of Revelation. Lecture quote: "Daath [דעת] is Hebrew and means knowledge. It is spelled with three letters: Daleth [ד], Ayin [ע], and Tav / Tau [ת]. The Tree of Knowledge is one of those symbolic trees described in the myth of Adam and Eve. In order for us to grasp the meaning of Daath, we have to first grasp that Adam and Eve are a myth—not a myth in the sense that it is not true or not real, but a myth in the sense that it is a mystery. Adam and Eve is a mystery—a story that contains and hides the truth. The mystery of Daath relates to the entirety of what we are as Being." Read the lecture transcription.

Transformation of Energy 02 The Pancatattva Ritual
The Pancatattva Ritual is an ancient ritual known in India whose goal is the transformation of substances into higher energies. Panca is a Sanskrit word that means five, and tattva is a Sanskrit word that means truth, suchness, true being; We understand that a tattva is a vibration of the Ether, which in its place is a transformation or vibration of Prana or Solar Light. Pancatattva refers to five vibrations or five types of energy, harnessed by those who want to merge into the highest forces of the universe. Lecture quote: "From the point of view of Gnosis, in fact, in any real spiritual tradition, we understand that everything that exists has its origin in the womb of the Divine Mother. That womb is a vastness, an emptiness we call the Akash or Akasha. It is a primordial substance, but it is also not a substance. You could say it is “undifferentiated matter,” but it is before matter. It is called Mulaprakriti, which is the great womb of Divine Mother space, and from that womb arises everything that exists, everything that manifests. So, in synthesis, we are saying that all atoms, all matter, all energy in its root is derived from this womb. The womb of the Divine Mother space is symbolized in the Book of Genesis as the primordial waters. Likewise, in many other traditions we have the Great Ocean or the Great Waters from which life emerges; and you have this tradition in Hinduism and in various traditions in central and South America. Those waters are feminine and they are the raw material or the raw source of all manifestation." Read the lecture transcription.

Daath 02 The Duality of Knowledge
The sexual mysteries hidden in Genesis; the creative fire of God in the union of man and woman. Lecture quote: "Those of us who have some background in the Jewish or Christian religions are familiar with the story of the man and woman in the primeval garden, who, it is said, were there in complete innocence and happiness, without any manner of suffering or death. It seems a fairly common understanding that if you have a story about a naked man and a naked woman in a beautiful garden, somehow sex must be part of the picture; there must be a sexual aspect. Yet, unfortunately for many centuries, public religions have failed to explain the sexual symbolism hidden in this ancient story. This is much to the detriment of this world, because in fact an in depth understanding of the tree of knowledge of good and evil is precisely the doorway out of suffering. It is the doorway back to Eden. We know this is true because the first letter of Daath (knowledge) is Daleth, which in the Hebrew language symbolizes a door; this is the doorway back to Eden. It is through knowledge, through Daath or Gnosis (Greek for knowledge), that this fallen humanity can return to a state of happiness, a state of ecstasy or bliss, which in Hebrew is Eden. The word Eden literally means bliss or pleasure. This again points out to us that the garden of Eden and the story of the tree of knowledge must have something to do with sex. The very name Eden means pleasure." Read the lecture transcription.

Daath 01 The Doorway of Knowledge
The meaning of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil [עץ הדעת טוב ורע] depicted in the book of Genesis / Bereshit. Lecture quote: "The doorway to knowledge is what we seek when we enter into a religion, or any kind of spirituality, that doorway of which Jesus spoke in the Gospel: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened." - Matthew 7:7-8 To knock on that doorway, we have to know where it is, and to aid us we have many religions in the world, many mystical teachings throughout all the different groups and ages of humanity. Contained within them all are the clues that can guide us towards that singular door which does not reside in only one religion or in any force or group outside of us. That door is not in any book. It is not in any priest, preacher, or master. The doorway is within ourselves. This is why the ancient Greek oracle said, “Man, know thyself.” The doorway that we need to knock upon and pass through is within." Read the lecture transcription.

Samael the Fifth Angel 03 Advent of Samael
Kabbalah explains how the angel Samael is related to the astrological signs, the tribe of Dan, Esau and Jacob, the book of Revelation, the plague of locusts, and the second coming of Christ. Lecture quote: "The spelling of Samael is the letters סמאל: Samech, Mem, Aleph, Lamed. Samech means support. Mem means water. Aleph means breath. Lamed means to teach. Therefore, Samael means “to hold up in the waters the teachings of the breath of God.” "Samael’s force in the physical body is in the blood. Samael controls the forces of Esau in the liver. Through the blood he blesses Jacob. Yes, through the blood, because Jacob is the heart and Esau is the liver. Both relate with the blood. So, the fiery energy, the forces of Samael in the physical body, work in the blood. So the vesture of Samael in our body is our blood. Through the blood, Samael works, whether down or up depends on how we utilize our sexual energy, as already explained when Jacob is fighting with him."

Samael the Fifth Angel 02 Sacrifice of Samael
Kabbalah explains how the angel Samael works through the sephirah Geburah to fufill the will of God. "Jahavah Elohim said to Samael: “Since it is so, give me advice. (Jehovah Elohim asked Samael for advice) on what I should do, so that the children of Jacob would accept it, as you say.” "Samael said to Jehovah Elohim: “Master of the universe, there is a need to bribe them. Take light from the light of the legions in heaven and impart it to them. By this, they will accept her (the Torah) and here is some OF MY LIGHT, which I will give first. Thus, Samael removed from himself the light that enveloped him and gave it to the Holy One, Blessed Be He, to present it to Israel." - Zohar Read the lecture transcription: The Sacrifice of Samael.

Samael the Fifth Angel 01 Sons of Samael
The Angel Samael in the Garden of Eden, and his offspring. Lecture quote: "We have learned that Samael, THE ANGEL, descended from heaven riding on this Serpent at that time. All the creatures saw his image and fled from him. Then SAMAEL AND THE SERPENT approached the woman with words, and brought death upon the world." - Zohar "This is profoundly different from what is taught in Sunday schools. Samael is the name of an angel, a very important angel who unfortunately has been removed from the Christian religion and has been trampled in the mud in the Jewish tradition, but in the very scriptures it is stated that Samael is a great angel."
