The Gnostic Center is part of a worldwide network of centers which are devoted to making Gnosis available to all of humanity. It is made up of students and instructors who join together to study, teach, and practice Gnosis. The Gnostic Center , an authentic initiatic school, is a non-profit organization, and is supported entirely by voluntary donations from its students and participants. No instructor or other participant receives remuneration for his or her services.
All courses and seminars offered at the Gnostic Center are very profound and offer a wealth of information, much of which cannot be found anywhere else. Emphasis is always placed on a balanced approach to the development of each individual. Classes consist of various levels of instruction, including public course modules and internal studies. Public courses will be available at the center Saturday afternoon starting at 11.30 am. A new course begins every five months, and usually lasts for 22 weeks. Since Gnosis is a very practical doctrine, some classes contains both a lecture and a guided exercise. The following list contains some of some of the conferences that we will give:
· ORIGIN OF HUMANITY: THE SEVEN RACES
· AQUARIUS ERA AND DIONISIAC WAVE
· EVOLUTION, INVOLUTION AND REVOLUTION

THE GNOSTIC CENTER'S
INTERNAL STUDIES PROGRAM
The internal studies consist of advanced courses that are not available to the public, but rather are open only to students who have successfully completed several public courses. The internal studies, which are held Monday through Friday in the evenings, offer the serious student the opportunity to develop further in both the study and practice of Gnosis by taking a deeper look at all the important concepts and practices that are essential to inner growth. This demands more participation and commitment than in the public courses, but in this way the student obtains a more profound understanding of the Gnostic esoteric work.
SAMAEL AUN WEOR
FOUNDER OF CONTEMPORARY GNOSTICISM
HIS LIFE, HIS WORKS, HIS MISSION
Inspirational Quotes
Samael Aun Weor is the contemporary founder of the Gnostic movement in the 20th century. Gnosis, a practical and timeless knowledge, teaches the direct path to self-realization.
HIS LIFE: Samael Aun Weor left us this complete practical wisdom in over 70 works that he authored and in over 500 cassette lectures given in his lifetime. Born in Santa Marta, Columbia in 1916, he moved to Mexico in the 1950's, and continued his life's work there--that of achieving self-realization while also tirelessly disseminating the Gnostic teachings. Having been born awake, he knew his life's mission. However, as he himself states in his writings, he had much work to complete on himself. He achieved the philosopher's stone, the magnum opus, in his lifetime and left us a complete map of the path that leads to such an acquisition.
HIS WORKS: His writings reveal a profound inner knowledge, knowledge that could only be obtained from profound meditation and work on oneself. He is called the "Master of Synthesis" for his works embrace techniques and concepts of both Eastern and Western traditions. His works reveal an Eastern grasp and familiarity of the concepts of rebirth, karma, reincarnation, meditation to silence the mind and experience reality, (to name a few topics). However, they also reveal an equally thorough grasp and familiarity with esoteric Christianity and Western science. His works and lectures, at all times, encompass both concepts as well as practical techniques.
HIS MISSION: Samael Aun Weor always emphasized and taught practical Gnosticism - the Gnosis. As the definition of Gnosis states, it is the knowledge of the heart obtained only by direct experience. His works include treatises on Gnostic esoteric psychology, alchemy, tarot and kabbalah, cosmology, cultural anthropology, elemental therapy (healing with nature spirits), runic mysteries, dream yoga, astral travel, the Tibetan rites of rejuvenation, the silence of the mind and experiencing reality in meditation, psychoanalytical meditation, esoteric astrology, mysteries of life and death, the education of the child, etc., all of which have an underlying and urgent call to action, to change, and work on oneself.
This change which in essence constitutes awakening from our deep sleep is carried out through revolution, a revolution against the tyranny of ego, against the hold that ego's fascination has on us. This change occurs by putting into practice the three factors for the Revolution of Consciousness, factors that he mentions in every work that he authored.
THE THREE FACTORS: The three factors needed to awaken consciousness, the three factors which are necessary to achieve self realization, are
1): the elimination of ego (Buddhist annihilation),
2): the creation of an authentic man (creation of solar bodies)
3): working for others without expectations, rewards or any type of compensation or recognition.
Thus, he wrote, because he had traversed the path himself. He knew the pitfalls and achievements possible and was able to guide us from his present life experiences, and achievements, and from his recall of his past lives in Tibet and China etc. The essence of wisdom is, then, contained in his teachings.
Samael Aun Weor left us in December 1977. However, his teachings live on throughout the world as thousands of Gnostic students continue to teach this knowledge. While he himself taught, he never charged for such knowledge and it was his wish that the teachings continue to be disseminated in this manner.
Inspirational Quotes from works
by Master Samael Aun Weor
On Meditation:
The Gnostic should drink the wine of meditation in the cup of perfect concentration
The Three Mountains
On Gnostic revolutionary psychology:
Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? What is the purpose of living? Why do we live?
The Greater Mysteries
On the Kabbalah
The Kabbalah is lost in the night of the centuries, there where the Universe was gestated in the womb of Maha Kundalini, the Great Mother. The Kabbalah is the science of numbers.
The author of the Tarot was the angel Metraton. He is the lord of wisdom of the serpent and he was Enoch, the prophet, of whom the Bible talks to us about.
Tarot and Kabbalah
LAW OF KARMA: is an Law of cosmic kind that has its living Foundation in the Law of cause and effect and of the divine Justice Tribunal.
We should know that the presence of the
human being in this ray of creation is
related to the divine, archetype intention to
obtain new solar men from humanity. On
the other hand it is a fact, that man was
created in the image and likeness of Elohim
(gods and goddesses), that in the words of
Moses blend threatening genesis waters of
the first instant. However, that man rises to
the height of the solar intelligences is not
anyone’s obligation, since the man belongs,
par excellence, the principle of free will. So
the man can consequently with his acts
vibrate in tune with God's will, purifying
and perfecting himself. In relation to this
effort is that men introduced, from a very
ancient times, the concept of good. It is also
possible to choose the opposite path doing
the opposite to the divine will who wants
happiness and perfection of all.
Obviously, in relation to this degenerative
impulse or better said of disharmony with
our true origin was introduced the concept of
the Evil.Good and Evil are concepts that the mind
has formed from something much more
profound and meaningful. At this point it is clear that a third option; is possible for those who do not work to refine or do anything associated to oppose to the
divine will. In more common terms we'd
say; those who are not good or bad those who
are not cold nor hot, but LUKEWARM, to
those that are barely content to be one more
little animal of nature, because they live
fascinated with the activities peculiar of the
human state always at the service of the
economy of nature, to those which form the
cohort of the most in this world, sooner or
later the entropy will sacrifice… the abyss is
expecting them as implacably as it swallows
those definitively perverse (those of the path
of the evil), because they are the failure of
the Great solar Experiment of whom we are
part of. Given the multiple wrong concepts that are
currently spreaded on the law of Karma, we
shall say on behalf of the truth that this is
not the automatic cause and effect or is
much less a mechanic law, but it is governed
and provided by Intelligent Principles.
The Palace of Karma is found in the Causal
world, it has as main Regent ANUBIS AND
HIS FORTY TWO JUDGES OF THE LAW.
In the Palace of the Cosmic Justice every
person, every being, everyone has their own
balance where faithfully records our positive
values (Dharma) and negative values
(karma). Karma and Dharma represent the
two plates of the scale balance.As bigger the Dharma is, it will, incline the scale, of a course, in our favor, since it is cosmic capital. As large or serious our
Karma is, the more the balance will incline
against us and we'll be in debt with the law.
It isn't in vain to say that every debt will
inexorably have to be paid. Dharma is depicted with rare and strange coins that the Masters of the Law
accumulate in our favor as we do good deeds
and we sacrifice for our fellow human
beings. WHO EVER HAS NO DEBTS SHOULD NOT FEAR ANYTHING. Karma are outstanding accounts we have accumulated against us because our bad
actions. When the archons of destiny put into action
the law, then the Karma enters into action
and we pay for what we have been charged.
Many violent deaths, incurable sickness,
continuous economic failures, prisons, hunger, misery and pain are the effects of the already developed and in action Karma. Once the debt is paid, its consequence disappears.
The rod with which the man measured
others, with that same is judged. What we
do to others, that's what we get in return, so
we can say that Karma is a law of action
and consequence since what we receive is
exactly a consequence of our own actions, by
the law of cause and effect. Law is law and
the law is must be carried out.
We can pay our Karma voluntarily or wait
for us to be charged. (The latter is too
painful).There is a transcendental axiom which says:
"WHEN AN INFERIOR LAW IS
TRANSCENDED BY A SUPERIOR LAW,
THE SUPERIOR LAW WASHES THE
INFERIOR LAW".
The best way to pay Karma is the path of
selfless help, selflessness at work and
sacrifice for our fellow human beings.
An act of love cancels past acts inspired by
inferior laws; LOVE is the best accessible
religion. Love is law, but conscious love.
The Talion Law of retaliation, eye for an eye,
tooth for tooth, is a lower, instinctive, brutal
and animal like Law. The law of the Conscious love, of forgiveness of our debtors,is better that of the sandalwood, whichperfumes the AX that cuts it.
It is urgent to know, that Karma is not a
blind, mechanical law.Karma is negotiable; we can personally attend to the Palace of the Divine Justice
before Anubis or the archons of the Law
apply for a loan, an extending period or any
negotiation related to Karma. Anyone can do this with the condition of a straight conduct; honesty at work and some degree of awaken consciousness.It is barely logical to think that everything
we are given on loan by not having anything
to pay with at that moment (example: get out
of a prison, to end economic misery, more
years of life, curing any karmic disease, etc)
we must pay for it just to the extent and
term, otherwise, the weight of Justice will
come over upon us like a Damocles sword
threatening to fall from above. When we cannot pay our debts, by unconsciousness or because we don't want to do it then we are asked to pay and we have
to suffer, because the Karma that is not paid
voluntarily comes in the form of punishment, pain and suffering. The Transcendental Axioms of Karma are three:*-"HE WHO HAS SOMETHING TO PAY
WITH COMES OUT CLEAN IN HIS
BUSINESS"*-"TO THE LION OF THE LAW IS
FOUGHT WITH THE SCALE”.*-"DO GOOD DEEDS TO PAY YOURDEBTS".
With justified reason it has been called also
"Law of compensation" because it gives the
man exactly what he deserves. Now we will explain why it is written: "The one who has will be given and the one that has not even the little he has will be taken away" Indeed, Karma relates to everything:
nations, peoples and languages. Cities,
provinces and continents. The karma of the worlds is a kind of planetary Karma … The individual Karma
is a kind of personal Karma.Every life is a Pearl crimped in the invisible thread of the common destiny of mankind. Every wasted opportunity is a rotten fruit unworthy of perpetuate in the tree that
produced it. Time that passes does not come
back, the opportunities are not eternal.
The life we have is an opportunity that we
enjoy once again leveling our balance,
perfecting ourselves working on ourselves
and return victoriously to the Bosom of the
Creator in the fullness of all things, the
happiness of all beings, the consciousness of
all the COSMOS and the wisdom of infinity.
MAN IS A GOD IN POTENCY MOORED
(tied) BY THE KARMA TO THE WHEEL
OF LIFE OF CONTINUOS BIRTHS AND
DEATHS.WE MUST TRANSFORM
OURSELVES TO THE INTIMATE SELFREALIZATION. This is the way of Superman, which is far beyond our theories, far beyond our
mediocrity, which unfolds much more
beyond good and evil in a battle for the
ABSOLUTE LIBERATION.
