In the Astrology course, listeners are introduced to the foundations of Gnostic Astrology and how we can learn to take advantage of the stellar radiations in order to improve life for all of us. This first lecture explains the first sign of the zodiac, Aries, the influence of which ranges from March 21 - April 19. Quoted from the lecture: "Related to Aries, there are certain virtues, certain capacities, that we receive, and in particular it is the potential for Penance, or the gifts that Penance can deliver onto the soul. This is the capacity to withstand suffering, to transform it, and make it into something beautiful, the way the great saints and martyrs have always done." Read the lecture transcription.

Mechanical humanity in contrast to cognizant humanity - and the means to change from one to another. Includes an explanation of the sheep and the goats from the gospels. Read the lecture transcription. The word 'human' is a compound word made of two words: Hum and Manas. The word Manas is a Sanskrit word that means mind. This is why when we say “man,” we are indicating the mind. The mind is characterized by reasoning. Reasoning distinguishes the rational animals (you and me) from the irrational animals. The mind exists in animals, plants, and minerals. It is not just the patrimony of the human being. But, the difference between the mind of the inferior kingdoms of nature and our mind is that we reason. Reasoning is precisely the difference. That is why we are called “man.” The other word in “human” is Hum. Hum is the spirit. This is related to the Latin humus, meaning “earth or ground,” that spirit from which the Man is taken. The “spirituous earth,” the life within the “humus,” is that matter, that dirt, which is written in the book of Genesis, where in the beginning God made the mind (the man) from the humus, or from the dust of the earth. It is a symbol. That dust implies the humus, implies the elements, chemical elements, and other unknown elements (archetypes) in which the spirit of God, the “spirituous earth” is hovering, according to the book of Genesis. When we study the phrase “in the beginning the spirit of God was hovering upon the face of the waters,” that is a statement related with all the kingdoms of nature. The difference between the inferior kingdoms and the human kingdom is that we as rational animals can take advantage of that spiritual force that is hovering within any matter. In order to take advantage of this “spirituous earth,” this spirit of God, we have to have the knowledge about it, because it does not occur mechanically.

A basic introduction to a fundamental basis of Gnostic Psychology: the Sensual Mind, the Intermediate Mind, and the Inner Mind.

The Three Keys of Suffering (the Moon, the fornicating Eve, and the turbid waters) and the Three Fundamentals of the Path (Renunciation, Bodhichitta, and Emptiness). Read the lecture transcription. In the book The Major Mysteries, Samael Aun Weor wrote, The three keys of suffering are the Moon, the fornicating Eve, and the turbid waters. That is all he said about it. He did not explain what it means. Unfortunately, most readers fly through passages like this and do not contemplate them. So in today's lecture we will explore these three keys, and how understanding these three keys shows us how we ourselves have the key to our own suffering. Hopefully, this will encourage you to read more carefully. We have the tool that we need to unlock the cage of our suffering. In fact, we are the ones who crafted our cage in the first place.

Discover the important difference between the consciousness and the intellect, how to simultaneously travel on the vertical and the horizontal path with equilibrium.

The next step after Self-observation: the transformation of impressions. "Life has an objective. A superior world is the objective of life. Thus, the Gnostic teachings teach us how to live in a superior world, how to live in a solar and immortal humanity; if one would not accept a superior world, transformation would then not have a purpose, this is obvious." - Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of the Dialectic Read the lecture transcription: Transformation of Life

How our daily life is influenced by karma, how different types of people make mistakes in life, and how awakening consciousness overcomes suffering.

The meanings and symbols hidden in the Kabbalah about the four-letter name of God: Jehovah or YHVH. Read the lecture transcription. Let us study the mysterious Tetragrammaton. τετραγράμματον is a Greek word that addresses the four Hebrew letters יהוה which according to Kabbalah spell the name of the Divinity. The Holy Bible, the Torah, and the Tanakh are books written based on the Zohar of the Kabbalah. In Gnosiswe always state that the doctrine that Moses gave to humanity was given in three ways: The Zohar , which is the spirit of the doctrine The Talmud, which is the soul of the doctrine The Bible, which is the body of the doctrine So the Bible itself and all the stories and the descriptions that we find in it are based on the spirit and the soul of the doctrine. In the Bible we find many stories related with the life of many prophets. In esotericism we name those prophets Aeons or Masters of the Day who reach the realization of their Being. They achieve complete Self-Realization. So, we call them Aeons or יום Yoms, which means "days," vehicles of the light. Light is the first expression or manifestation of the Unknowable. In Kabbalah, the Unknowable has three aspects, namely: Ain, Ain Soph and Ain Soph Aur. These are the three aspects of the Unknowable that is represented by the last letter Hei of יהוה Iod-Hei-Vav-Hei. Within the Unknowable we find that which we call A-Elohim [אין אלהים] which is the Unknowable Seity. A-Elohim is that Seity which cannot, in any way, be represented because it is an Unknowable Light, Aur in Kabbalah; thus, light-אור-Aur abides in it and emanates from it.

Gnostic Psychology recognizes that humanoids have three centers of intelligence within: an intellectual brain, an emotional brain, and a motor/instinctive/sexual brain. These are not physical brains; they are divisions of organized activity.

How to awaken the consciousness and the importance of psychological equilibrium. "It is written, “Narrow is the way that lead- eth unto light.” Whosoever wants to follow this path, “let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (the three factors in the revolution of the consciousness: to Die, to be Born, and to Sacrifice [Mark 8:34])." - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah
