To understand the role of sexuality in our development, we start by examining the first words of the Bible and Torah in their original language (בראשית ברא אלוהים –Genesis 1:1), which reveal a sexual truth that is not visible in modern translations of the scriptures, yet is well-known in all Asian religions: that God is not male, but Elohim, a plural word that means "gods and goddesses" that emerge from AElohim (Parabrahma, Sunyata, the Emptiness). This is explained by the Prajanaparamita Sutra. We then study the Tree of Life to gain insight to in our place in the universe right now, including multiple dimensions, the types of beings in the universe, the four states of consciousness, our endocrine system and its purpose, and much more. This is just the preface of a journey deep into our history, present predicament, and potential future. “Form is emptiness, emptiness is form; emptiness is not other than form, form too is not other than emptiness.” – Prajnaparamita, the Blessed Mother, the Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom

Learn how to experience the practical reality of Christ for yourself by following the sexual instructions given by Jesus and other great masters (rabbis).  Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Are you a Rabbi of Israel, and do not know these things? Verily, verily, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and you believe not, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are accomplished by God.” - John 3: 1-21

Every religion and mythological tradition is based on stories of temptation: Adam and Eve, Pandora, Jesus, Samson, King David, etc. Everyone faces temptation, but few know that temptation is the basis of the path to liberation from suffering. When we are tempted, we face those qualities in ourselves that otherwise we would never see — such as our pride, envy, anger, and lust— thus when we are tempted to act on them that is the moment we can choose to deny them, eliminate them, and finally become free of them. Facing and overcoming temptation is the way to actually walk on the spiritual path.  “Blessed is the one that endures temptation: for when tried, that one shall receive the crown of life [Kether, Chokmah, Binah], which the Lord has promised to them that love him. Let no one say when tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempted he anyone: But every one is tempted, when drawn away of one’s own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it brings forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.” —James 1:12-15 “Temptation is fire. Triumph over temptation is light." —Samael Aun Weor

This lecture defines the basis of karma and its role in the development of gnosis or self-knowledge. In life, there are three types of action. First are actions that are the outcome of accidents, or simply, they correspond to the law of accidents. Second are actions that are the outcome of karma. Third are actions performed by conscious will; these are truly characteristic of initiates, masters, those who already have an individual, conscious will. Samael Aun Weor, Beyond the Mind (lecture)

In early January, all Christians celebrate Epiphany (ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation, striking appearance"), also called Theophany, Little Christmas, or Three Kings' Day. Yet, they do not know the real meaning of the event, which relates to how the solar force (Christ) emerges in the initiate or true Jew. "Wisdom (Chokmah) is found on (Daath) the lips of the one who has (Binah) understanding, and (Vav) a rod is for the (גו) back of the heartless one." - Proverb 10: 13 “When we have formed our inner Christ, He then enters into all of our vehicles through the pineal gland. The inner Christ has the shape of a small child. He comes out from within (Daath) his Ethereal womb to enter into (Malkuth) our physical body through the pineal gland. This is the descent of Christ into the atomic infernos of the human being. This is the Nativity of the heart. It is how we transform ourselves into Christs. Nature does not leap; this is why our inner Christ is born within us as a small child." - Kundalini Yoga by Samael Aun Weor

The transfiguration of Jesus is a long alchemical and kabbalistic process that occurs within those who follow the path of initiation. First, one must generate Moses and transfigure him. Thereafter, through the exodus, Elijah incarnates and is taken alive into heaven. All of these generations and transformations happen within the spirit, soul and body of the alchemist. Yet, these mysteries are unknown to the uneducated, who have only been fed "milk" for babies: "For every one that uses milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” - Hebrews 5: 11-14 “And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves; and he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him.” - Matthew 17: 1-3

Meditation is only possible from a state of strong concentration, thus:  "...concentration is the first and foremost thing a sadhaka or aspirant should acquire in the spiritual path." —Swami Sivananda Concentration practice is taught in every meditation tradition, yet concentration is not meditation itself; concentration is only the preparation for meditation. In yoga, concentration is called Dharana, and is the sixth step of Ashtanga Yoga.  The development of concentration is scientific and methodical, and is possible for anyone to achieve. While developing concentration, one passes through stages: Kshipta: wandering Mudha: forgetful Vikshipta: gathering Ekagrata: one-pointed Nirudha: well-restrained This lecture provides an explanation of dharana and many practical tips to help you rapidly establish concentration. "Without wise concentration of thought, the experience of the truth is impossible." —Samael Aun Weor, Spiritual Power of Sound  

Explains the qualities of the soul related to earth, water, fire, air, and space, how these qualities are tested on the Path, and common signs of lacking balance of the elements. In the solitude of these mysterious sanctuaries, the neophytes were submitted to the four Initiatic ordeals. The ordeals of fire, air, water and earth always defined the diverse purifications of the neophytes. The neophytes are submitted to the four Initiatic ordeals which are verified in the Internal Worlds. The human being still is not a king or queen of nature, but the human being is called to be a king in accordance to Melchizedeck. Disciples must be tested by the four elements in order to examine them. They are submitted to ordeals in the forty-nine regions of thought. These ordeals are for everyone, man and woman. One can help oneself by having pure thoughts, but this is not enough; Meditation is necessary. - Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah
