Egyptian

In the minds of most people today, the most fascinating and rich civilization in our history is undoubtedy the Egyptian. Yet few realize that all of its beauty and mystery was merely another pearl on the necklace of divine wisdom. That necklace - Gnosis - is the root and source of the original, pure Egyptian mysticism, before it was corrupted by humanity.

This is a transcription of the audio lecture Astrology 02: Taurus, which you can download for free. The zodiacal sign of Taurus - according to the esoteric course of astrology or Astrotheurgy - reminds us that the Logos, the Word, is Theos, God itself, who is not a person, but what we call the Army of the Voice. Taurus opens a very vast scenario in relation with the bull, since we find the symbol of the bull in all religions. Yet before entering into the topic of why all religions have this symbol, we have to explain in detail how we are related to the sign of Taurus. For that we have to apply Alchemy and Kabbalah, because when we study Kabbalah...

This is a transcription of the audio lecture Astrology 12: Pisces, which you can download for free. Let us now dive within the great ocean of the sign of Pisces; a beautiful sign, ruled by Neptune and Jupiter. Pisces is symbolized by two fish united by a hyphen between the hands of Neptune. This is a very profound symbol related with the Monad. We have to explain about the Monad in order for us to understand our situation - or as we say in Gnosticism, our level of Being. The Monad is the Being. We always state that the reason for the Being to be is to be the Being itself. All of us are part of a Monad (a word rooted in "monas" from the Greek language, which means...

Today's lecture is about Arcanum 11 of the Kabbalistic Tarot, which is known by varying names such as strength, persuasion. The image for this Arcanum shows us a woman who stands with great serenity before a lion. The lion has its mouth open. She reaches forward and closes its mouth with her bare hands. The Arcanum 11 at first glance appears to contain a rather straightforward symbolism. But for the Gnostic student, who investigates mythology or the religious symbolism contained in all the world's religions, we find that this Arcanum refers to a vast, extensive, and deeply interconnected symbolism.

Editor's Note: In order to make clear the instructions given below, we have divided the practice of Christic Egyptian Pranayama into two parts: one for men, and one for women.  Although originally given as a single practice and followed by a small note for women to invert the technique, this resulted in a great deal of confusion for students.  Therefore, in the following text, the practice has been written exactly as required for each sex.  Otherwise, this text remains as originally composed.

Editor's Note: The following text was presented by Manly P. Hall in his monumental Secret Teachings of All Ages, and was fully explained in the Arcanum 15 lecture of the course The Twenty-two Arcana of Tarot and Kabbalah. We excerpt it here in order to emphasize the unique and useful nature of the text. Adam, banished from the Garden of Eden, represents (the soul of) man philosophically exiled from (the inner circle of Samech) the sphere of Truth. Through ignorance (of Samech, the Vulva or Volva, the feminine sexual power, the soul of) man falls; through wisdom (Chokmah, the fruit of the...
