    Articles | What is Gnosis and Gnosticism?

    Genuine spiritual life is direct experience of religious truths. The basis of all mystical traditions is personal verification of divine reality. Therefore, the Gnostic tradition as a locus of practical spirituality leaves beliefs and theories behind. Explore resources on how to awaken such potentials within oneself:

    Gnostic Gospels | Beyond Good and Evil in the Gospel of Judas

    Gnostic Gospels | Beyond Good and Evil in the Gospel of Judas

    This lecture builds on controversial gnostic motifs in Transcendent Betrayal in the Gospel of Judas. By rebelling against one's own false notions good and evil, the initiate recognizes and submits to divine will even when it is contentious, scandalous, and displeasing. Therefore, mystical revolutionaries transcend incipient beliefs and hypocritical sanctimony to perform that which is truly good, even when it is inconvenient and misunderstood.

    Gnostic Kabbalah 04 The Universal Tree of Life

    Gnostic Kabbalah 04 The Universal Tree of Life

    Gnostics utilize kabbalah for its profundity, accessibility, and synthetic power. When consciously utilized, kabbalah becomes incredibly practical for interpreting diverse religious symbolism, creation stories, and the development of the soul. Contrary to popular assumption, the tree of life is not merely a Jewish paradigm, but an essential, eternal, and universal representation within all cosmologies and mythologies. A continuation of Kabbalah: The Legacy of the Initiates, this lecture will explore the mystical significance of divine life in the kabbalistic tree, the ten sephiroth (spiritual emanations), and how specific Hebrew letters, words, and names relate to aspects of being, Hinduism, Arthurian legend, Nordic runes, Tantric Buddhism, and much more.

    Practical Initiation | The Hermit and Relationships

    Practical Initiation | The Hermit and Relationships

    To pursue inner esoteric development, spiritual aspirants seek to become "hermetically sealed" from the world. Many struggle to balance this psychological isolation with worldly responsibilities and relationships. Through examining the mysteries of Arcanum 9, this lecture explores why "The Hermit" is an essential spiritual archetype for living a healthy life and navigating social relationships.

Preachy

More preachy than informative

The dramatic………… pause

Such great content, but he loses me with the giant pauses every few words. It would be much more effective if the sentences were complete.
