A Revelation on Experiencing the Nature of the Absolute (from Hermetic Tradition)

The body of texts known as the Corpus Hermeticum is one of the most important compilation of Hermetic teachings. They are attributed to a spiritual teacher who among the Greeks was known as Hermes Trismegistus, and as god Thoth among the Egyptians. The texts were apparently written or rewritten in the first centuries AD, during the early Christian era, though because of the assumption that they are much older they were not destroyed like many other texts that came from that time.

Wisdom imbued in Mantra Om Mani Padme Hum

One of the most popular Buddhist mantras is the one deriving from the Tibetan Buddhism, Om Mani Padme Hum. It is popular among the Buddhist devotes and laymen alike; in fact, it is so popular that you can hear it in the most odd places if travelling in the Himalayan countries, such as Nepal. This mantra is said to have enormous power because of its association with the Buddha of Compassion, Avalokiteshvara. The latter is known in the esoteric teachings as the All Pervading Force of Christ –

A Blue Race and their Mission on Earth

It is becoming more and more common knowledge that we are not alone in this Universe; that advanced star civilizations that are traveling know about us on Earth and are benevolent. Some go further and say that at one point in time, we co-operated and exchanged knowledge with advanced races from other star systems. This is said to have happened in the past, when mankind was more in tune with its inner, true nature. Unlike today, people had faculties with which they perceived more of the

Reflection on the Seven Last Words of Jesus

In an esoteric sense, the life of Jesus Christ provides with an incredible wealth of insights that every initiate (and aspirant to the Path) would do well by studying and trying to understand its deeper significance, and how it relates to us individually, as his life was more than just a historical account or a one-time saving event. When we begin with our awakening process, we start to notice that the lives of great spiritual masters can also be looked at from the point of view of the Path

At the Doors of Silence: Entering Properly to Meditation

Ancient wisdom states: “The terrestrial thoughts must fall dead in front of the doors of the temple.” In that statement lies the key to great success that can come from the practice of meditation. It’s not uncommon that when the meditation practice becomes a routine, we enter it as if we are always ready for it and always know exactly what to do. Though it happens that this assurance can be used against us by the ego and the personality, if we are not careful. That’s why it is important to

An Account about Agartha and the King of the World

The kingdom of Agartha (or Agarthi, as some call it), has been stirring the imagination of many explorers, wanderers, occultists, and all sort of folks. There are many books written on the subject, some of their authors narrating a direct experience they had there, such as Willis George Emerson in his The Smokey God. The kingdom of Agartha is said to be located underground, beneath the surface of the earth, and the reason why it’s said that this is possible is because, as it is claimed, the

Journeying Eternity as a Liberated Soul (Ancient Egyptian Depiction)

One of the funerary texts that is part of the Egyptian Book of the Dead is a book called the Book of Traversing Eternity, which describes what happens to a person who incarnates their Divine Being while still alive. In Ancient Egypt, when someone reached a high spiritual level by incarnating various parts of their inner Being, they would often add “Osiris” or “Horus” to their name, which is a spiritual title rather than the eternal name of the Being that we become aware of once we reach the

The Gnostic Mystery of Lucifer and its Esoteric Meaning

A lot has been spoken about Lucifer, a lot of fear has been conjured up by the name that has been associated with the anthropomorphic Satan throughout the Christian history.

Do Not Allow Thieves and Wild Beasts to Enter and Dwell in Your House

In the universal language of symbols, house is a common representation of your body, or rather the interior of the body, your inner temple. This temple does not only refer to the biological interior of the body, but more to the non-physical parts of it, such as the consciousness, the five psychological centers (intellectual, emotional, sexual, motor and instinctual), the higher bodies (such as astral and mental), as well as other counterparts that some people may have more and others less,

Mantras for Astral Projection

In the teachings of Samael Aun Weor, there are many mantras that are taught as a mean to achieve astral projection. The latter is an ability through which we can safely leave our physical body at will in order to consciously enter the astral plane (which is in the fifth dimension), in order to explore more of the reality than what we know of here in this physical world.  This was an important practice in many esoteric and occult schools of various religions and spiritual traditions, because

The Extraterrestrial Involvement in our Spiritual Evolution (Part One)

There is a lot of things that has already been discovered and revealed about the extraterrestrial presence on Earth.
