This lecture is about discovering the truth within ourselves. It explains the Four States of Consciousness:
Eikasia: Dream, Delusion
Pistis: “Vigil,” Irrational Belief, Opinion
Dianoia: Self-cognizance, Dialectical Analysis
Nous: Objective cognizance, Intuition
Also, the Tree of Life in relationship to psychology and meditation, and the Three Natures of truth according to the Yogachara school of Buddhism.
“When you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will understand that you are children of the living Father. But if you do not know yourselves, then you live in [psychological] poverty, and you are the [psychological] poverty.” – Gospel of Thomas
τέλειος (teleios) is a Greek word for:
(1) that which is perfect;
(2) consummate human integrity and virtue;
(3) the realization of one’s ultimate purpose in life
We find τέλειος in the Bible, when St. Paul states, "We speak wisdom [σοφία, sophia] among them that are perfect [τελείοις, teleios]… We speak the wisdom of God in a mystery [μυστήριον, mustérion], even the hidden [ἀποκρύπτω, apokruptó] wisdom [σοφία, sophia], which God ordained before the world unto our glory… " – 1 Corinthians 2
We understand there is a hidden side of every religion which has been largely forgotten. This hidden wisdom can be called gnosis. We study gnosis as it is found in the great world traditions, especially the hidden or esoteric levels of instruction. For example:
✝ Christianity: Gnosticism, Alchemy
✡ Judaism: Kabbalah
☸ Buddhism: Vajrayana
🕉 Hinduism: Yoga Sutras of Patanjali
☪ Islam: Sufism
☀ Ancient: Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Mayan, etc. mystery traditions
