    About this Episode

    Although on the public level bodhichitta is usually described as the altruistic intention to reach enlightenment in order to bring all other beings there too, the real meaning of bodhichitta is far more profound. Learn about prana, rlung, Cheresig, Tara, Mani (Norbu), Christ, and much more.

    This book is recommended in the lecture: Bodhicharyavatara (The Bodhisattva's Way of Life) by Shantideva.

    "Ah, Lord God, my holy Lover, when You come into my heart, all that is within me will rejoice. You are my glory and the exultation of my heart. You are my hope and refuge in the day of my tribulation. But because my love is as yet weak and my virtue imperfect, I must be strengthened and comforted by You. Visit me often, therefore, and teach me Your holy discipline. Free me from evil passions and cleanse my heart of all disorderly affection so that, healed and purified within, I may be fit to love, strong to suffer, and firm to persevere. [...]Love is watchful. Sleeping, it does not slumber. Wearied, it is not tired. Pressed, it is not straitened. Alarmed, it is not confused, but like a living flame, a burning torch, it forces its way upward and passes unharmed through every obstacle." - Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ

    "Bliss rises when the Vital Heat is fanned, When air from the nadis flows in the central channel, When Bodhichitta flows from above, When it is purified below, When red and white meet in the middle, And the joy of a leakless body satiates one, These are the Six Blissful Experiences of Yoga." - Milarepa

    This is a lecture from the free online course Fuel for Spiritual Experience: Meditation and Energy

    Course Description:

    Spiritual experiences are not difficult to have if you know the laws of nature that manage them. Learn the exact science of spiritual practice that leads to the awakening of the consciousness, by means of harnessing the most powerful energies in the universe.

    Within us are the energies that can empower the realization of our full potential, through which we can become completely developed beings. Learn about the steps of meditation, vital energy, ojas, sexual transmutation, pranayama, kundalini, and much more. With these tools, we can reach complete liberation from suffering, and thereby be of great service to others.

    What is the Gnostic Church?

    What is the Gnostic Church?

    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.

    Why Give at Christmas?

    Why Give at Christmas?

    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.

    What Are the Three Brains?

    What Are the Three Brains?

    "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
