The advent of Christ in the heart of man

Every year, many of us, in fact millions, celebrate Christmas with family and friends. There are festivities, carols, gift giving, and a lot of merry-making. And rightly it should be so, for Christmas is truly a special time of year. Christmas is a time to remember that we too can live the miracle of the Nativity in us.

As Sivananda says: “Christmas is a state of spiritual awakening. To realize the Kingdom of Heaven within yourself, to hold communion with the Lord in the chambers of your heart, to regain your lost divinity, to attain Christ-consciousness or cosmic consciousness, to love all, to include all in the warm embrace of your love is real Christmas.”

And as Master Samael says: “The advent of Christ in the heart of man is a fact that transforms us radically. Christ is the solar logos, perfect multiple unity. Christ is the life that palpitates in the entire universe; he is what has always been, what will always be.”

So let’s celebrate and prepare the way.

Merry Christmas to you all!

The Prayer of Thanksgiving

The Prayer of Thanksgiving

We give thanks to You!

Every soul and heart is lifted up to You,

undisturbed name,

honored with the name ‘God’

and praised with the name 'Father',

for to everyone and everything

(comes) the fatherly kindness

and affection and love, and any teaching

there may be that is sweet and plain,

giving us mind, speech, (and) knowledge {GNOSIS}:

mind, so that we may understand You,

speech, so that we may expound You,

GNOSIS, so that we may know You.

 
We rejoice, having been illuminated by Your knowledge.

We rejoice because You have shown us Yourself.

We rejoice because while we were in (the) body, You have made us divine through Your GNOSIS knowledge.

 
The thanksgiving of the man who attains to You

 is one thing: that we know You.

We have known You, intellectual light.

Life of life, we have known You.

Womb of every creature, we have known You.

Womb pregnant with the nature of the Father,

we have known You.

Eternal permanence of the begetting Father,

thus have we worshiped Your goodness.

 
There is one petition that we ask:

we would be preserved in GNOSIS.

And there is one protection that we desire:

that we not stumble in this kind of life.

 

From the Nag Hammadi Library

Practical lectures and classes on Gnosis!

"The consciousness is our direct connection with our own divinity."

Samael Aun Weor

Once every year we offer an in-depth course in Gnostic Esotericism; we call this course the First Chamber; which runs in two phases, the first phase being open to the general public –currently offered on Tuesdays 7-9 PM,– the second phase being open only to those who have completed the first phase.

This course introduces the esoteric principles needed by every aspirant of the Light, regardless of race, creed, sex or financial means. Each class includes a lecture, a meditation practice and additional exercises to help the student apply the timeless teachings of Gnosis to his/her life so as to experience first hand the presence and compassion of the Divinity that lies within.

Be welcome to join us for practical lectures and classes on Gnosis: the direct knowledge that lies latent in the heart of every human being. 

Albany Gnosis Center offers a free lecture at the William K Sanford Library

Meditation is like love, everyone can experience it, and like love, it exists, within us, since the beginning of time. However, nowadays, meditation is needed more that ever. Current lifestyles demand so much of the individual, dividing their concentration, that developing a sharp-acute mind is a tremendous urgency. 

Additionally, meditation helps to progressively eliminate the sources of discontent and depression, because anger, pride, vanity, self-importance, frustration-all of that- dissipates before the meditator who learns to stand outside their sphere of influence, with the helpful hand of concentration. 

For Gnostics, meditation is for a journey within, meditation brings alertness in our actions, and is the key to living in the present, the best way to live!

Join us at the William K Sanford Library on Sunday May 22, at 2:00 PM and explore the Gnostic perspective on meditation.

Everyone is welcome, Free and open to all!

4/5 Gnosis.
The Mystery of Being Human

“The sun of truth rises in the human being and illuminates his world
when he lifts his mind from the darkness of ignorance and selfishness
into the light of wisdom and altruism.”

Samael Aun Weor - Aztec Christic Magic

Human beings are considered rational, endowed with free will, capable of reasoning. Also they have an innate need of understand their environment, of seeking to explain phenomena and are able to fashion and perfect themselves. What mystery lies behind such powers? We invite you to explore the mystery of being human!

3/15 Who am I, really?

"Man, know yourself and you will know the universe and its Gods,” says the Oracle of Delphi.

As part of the series AWAKEN GNOSIS IN YOU, the lecture  “Who am I really” address why to know oneself is a fundamental, and how to ignore who we are affects not only our relationship with ourselves but with everything around us: the planet, our fellowmen and the universe.

The lecture points out the distinction Gnostic Psychology makes between Ego, Personality and Essence, and how knowing this can transform ones life by helping us discover the root of our emotions, feelings and actions. Because like Tao Te Ching says: "Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom."

We are living in this world for some special reason

We are living in this world for some special reason, for something, by virtue of some special factor… Obviously, within us there is much that we must see, study and comprehend, if we really desire to know something about ourselves, about our own life… Tragic is the existence of he who dies without having known the purpose of his life. Each one of us must discover for himself the purpose of his own life…

Samael Aun Weor
