Extraterrestrials – (Why) Are They Here? (Part 1)

These days it’s no longer a question whether extraterrestrials exist or not, but whether they are visiting Earth, for how long, and what is their mission. Until “recently” it was believed that planets orbiting stars/suns is a rarity. Even in that case it was said that there is a minimum of 20 000 civilizations across the Universe. This number was based on mathematical calculations of probability and taking into account that there are approximately 100 billion galaxies in the known Universe.

Sceptics and Spirituality

A while ago I read a good book, called the Red Lion by Maria Szepes. In it there is one interesting story about scepticism. It's interesting how there are people who have so many arguments to disprove things they are not opened to. Sometimes what they say can seem logical, explaning in details why such and such is or isn't so. Don't be fooled with their "logic", because it is based on their own intelectual rationale. Intelect in itself is very limited, which makes logic limited too. Often

Beings of Light

A while ago I’ve read one inspiring poem about the beings of light and have decided to write a bit about this topic. I have very little experience with them, but the ones I do have have had quite an impact on me. The first of such experience was when I was around 6 years old, an experience which have influenced me profoundly. It was always pushing me to search and question, and eventually it brought me to the discovery of the practice of astral projection.

Plato’s Cave

Some years ago I encountered this video and have heard of this analogy by Plato for the first time. It’s really remarkable analogy, and this specific animated version of it is very good. Plato was a philosopher who was very aware of the esoteric work, and was probably applying it himself. The analogy is about a person locked in a cave, together with other people. They are tied and cannot move – they can only see the back wall of the cave, upon which are projected the shadows of people

Why Orgasms Are So Spiritually Harmful

Sexual energy is a very powerful energy that is part of the human being in many ways. It is a creative energy, which can be observed by the obvious example of procreation, but it can also be used to transform oneself spiritually. Sexual energy is often mistaken for lustful sensations and emotions that manifest in genitals, torso and the mind, but it is actually a different thing. It is a force that sustain us, and that can ultimately liberate us from all suffering. Using sexual energies to

Don’t Close the Door to Truth

The Buddha told a story to his monks: “A young widower was devoted to his little son. But while he was away on business, the whole village was burned to the ground by bandits, who took away the little boy. When the father returned and found only ruins, he was brokenhearted. He thought that the charred remains of an infant was his own child, so he organized a cremation, collected the ashes, and carried them always in a special bag.

1st Key to Awakening – The Death of the Egos

Alchemy (in the East known as White Tantra) is a practice used for transmutation of internal energies. At one point in the history, the concept of “alchemy” was very popular among people. Exoterically it means transformation of lead into gold. Many people have tried to unravel the mysterious and obscure sacred writings of old alchemists in order to start making gold and to become rich. However, they didn’t know that the essence of alchemy goes much deeper than purely physical

The Spiritual Path to Awakening

Many secret schools existed in the past that were teaching this very path, some of them are the Hermetic Order, the Rosicrucian, the Freemasons etc. It can also be found in legends, myths and arts of the past – it is depicted in the story of Odyssey, Jason and the Argonauts, the quest of knights for the Holy Grail, in the opera the Magic Flute by Mozart, and many others.

The Wheel of Samsara, and the purpose of human life

Before I can write about the spiritual path and the 3 keys for awakening, I will say how the universal esoteric teachings, further clarified by Samael Aun Weor, state about the reason why we are here in this physical dimension, and about evolution and devolution. This post is a glimpse of something that has much more depth, but the general idea is here:

You will

Who will transcend this world? Who will transcend the realm of the dead, and heaven, too, with all its gods? Who will find the true and shining way of the path? You will. Even as the gatherer of flowers discovers the finest and rarest, so you will gather the teachings and transcend this world.

Spirituality behind the Winter Solstice

Around the world, there are many sacred ancient sites aligned to some special times of the year – winter and summer solstices. Some of those sites are Stonehenge and Glastonbury in England, Chichen Itza in Mexico, Temple of Karnak in Egypt, Newgrange in Ireland, statues on the Eastern Island (Rapa Nui) and many other sites around the world. It’s interesting that the ancients saw a big significance in it and have had a special ceremonies and celebrations during the four times of the year –

Fanatical worship

“Ananda said to the Buddha: “I think there has never been a teacher as great as you, nor will there ever be one as great in the future.” The Buddha asked: “Have you known all the awakened ones, the buddhas of the past?” “No, Honored One.” “And are you able to know all the buddhas of the future?” “No, Honored One.”

Maya – The Source of Illusion

Maya is a well known concept in Eastern religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, etc, and it is more and more known in New Age circles as well as in Esoteric traditions worldwide. The concept entails that the entire third dimension in which we live is a material dimension created for beings to learn through suffering and paying karma, and to eventually start removing animalistic and negative impulses which consequently leads to knowledge of oneself and the reality of existence.

Gnosis means knowledge

Gnosis means knowledge in Greek. I will say something about my understanding of Gnosis in the way I came to know this concept in the last several years. “Know thyself and you will know the Universe and the gods.” This is written on the entrance of the temple of Apollo in Delhi, Greece. This phrase in short says what Gnosis is about. It’s about attaining the knowledge of the Universe through the knowledge of oneself. It is not a type of knowledge that we can get by reading it in a book
