Now, it is indeed necessary to make a full differentiation between alaya-vijnana and sunyata [...] Alaya-vijnana is a purely psychological concept. Sunyata is undoubtedly an ontological concept [...] One thing is the frightening and terrible machinery of relativity, and another thing, absolutely different, is the Illuminating Void...  - Samael Aun Weor, Dharmakaya (lecture) This advanced lecture clarifies the difference between the alaya-vijnana and the Illuminating Void. It also speaks about building the Tree of Life in the world of Yetzirah, and, its connection with Nirmanakaya and Resurrection. Discusses how the Four Worlds of Kabbalah are related to the Three Realms of Samsara along with the Illuminated Void. Also covers: Samatha (meditative concentration), the Eight Dhyanas in relationship to the Illuminating Void, the necessity of vipasyana (insight), and power of tantra in combination with samatha to achieve liberation, and discussion of the Prajnaparamita Sutra mantra: gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha!

People today mistakenly believe that the word Gnostic refers only to a few groups that were active in the Middle East almost two thousand years ago, and left behind the so-called gnostic gospels or gnostic scriptures. In reality, those groups were not isolated or unique. They were part of a worldwide tradition found on every continent, whose roots are not in the physical world at all.  In fact, Jesus, the greatest gnostic of all and the inspiration for the so-called gnostic scriptures and the modern Christian tradition, is a master of Kabbalah and Judaism. He is a master of Egyptian, Indian, and Tibetan teachings. That is why we find so much of them in his teachings. Therefore, the so-called “gnostic” and Christian scriptures are not separate from those other traditions. All of these teachings are rooted in the same source, so it is a mistake to try to isolate one from another. That only leads to confusion and misunderstandings. https://glorian.org/connect/blog/what-is-the-gnostic-church

Artificial Intelligence and Authentic Intelligence

"Wherever there is life, there is consciousness. Consciousness is as inherent to life as humidity is to water." —Samael Aun Weor, Sexology https://glorian.org/connect/blog/what-is-consciousness

What is Consciousness?

Christ is a force, not a person. Christ is selfless love, the power of sacrifice, compassion. This is not just an ideal: it is a living substance, a quality of consciousness, that in Buddhism is called bodhichitta. Christ can incarnate within the prepared individual. Jesus incarnated Christ. So did Buddha, Krishna, Joan of Arc, and many others. The whole purpose of the spiritual path is to earn that right: to become a bodhisattva, an incarnation of Christ. Christ Mass is a preparation for and a celebration of that possibility. https://glorian.org/connect/blog/why-give-at-christmas

"Perfect mental equilibrium is of vital importance for those who want spiritual progress. Almost all the aspirants of esotericism easily lose their mental equilibrium and usually fall into the most absurd things. Whosoever yearns for direct knowledge must ensure that their minds are in perfect equilibrium... Mental disequilibrium is avoided by balancing the three brains." —Samael Aun Weor  https://glorian.org/connect/blog/three-brains-and-five-centers
