Keep the flame alive in this distracted world!
Oh let not the flame die out
The flame never dies. It’s only hidden beneath a thick smog. That is it is forgotten, which is to be distracted. What dies belongs to time and that is the personality and the egos. To choose to realize this consciously or unconsciously is our choice.
I'm very fortunate enough to find this channel. I appreciate my gratitude to you for making this awesome series & especially making it available to everyone for free.
Such work needs lots of efforts all from thoughts, emotions and impulses. You worked a lot man. The least I can do for you is like the video, comment, & share to max people.
God bless you man.
I asked for this and it showed up. I was distracted when it arrived but it presisted. Thank you.
I bow down to you!! When majorities only initiate making money from sharing spiritual knowledge , you are the person who delivers such indepth knowledge through this channel.. I'm from India and read many spiritual books and blogs but you described everything in very simplistic way..I honour your decision and action to being such a down to earth person....I will be grateful to you forever..Many Thanks ❤🙏
Indeed, thank you to this compassionate Gnostic instructor!
I think this is the first time I correlated my everyday actions (with) 'restraint' with the relaxation of meditation. 'Listening' to the voice, essentially doing what you tangibly know to be true in each moment, leaves more energy (or less distraction) for the balance and practice of stepping into divinity. Wow! 👍
Wow I have been struggling to get this. For more than 15yrs now. The real magick is in the union
Thank you dearly for this immensely important information! Many beginners, including myself, will benefit greatly from this! Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Listening to your lecture is an extremely important step to practice. As Thomas the Didymus says: "When you find One that has not being son of a woman, prostate before him, He is you Father". Blessed be you.
Man, they always say when the student is ready the teacher appears. Let's just say that I stumbled upon this at the exact moment I needed it. I'm humbled. I am grateful. Thank you.
Take advantage of it to the fullest. Practice these teachings so they may transform the whole of your life. This is what it means to be grateful. For then can you help others.
This saying rings very true for me. When I first stumbled upon spirituality it was by chance that I found Ram Dass, and he was the first that could speak so clearly to my very over-intellectualized mind, and helped me through a tough spot in life. Then I found the channel Astral Doorway over my university’s winter break where I was working in a factory and could listen all day to his various series. I came across this channel a bit later, and wasn’t ready to hear what it had to say, and never really gave it a chance, and I must not have been ready. Then upon giving this meditation series a chance starting yesterday, this channel spoke to me and everything switched on like a lightbulb. It convinced me to start journaling and begin a log of spiritual lessons I find, as well as realizations I have through my own mediation. Very interesting how this principle of the guru appearing when you are ready seems to apply so directly.
What an improvement since gnostic teachings. Happy to rediscover
thanks for the information, it's helpful.
on Ahimsa(do no harm) in mindfulness they add that not to harm yourself, having compassion to ourselves, cause most of the time we beat up ourselves thinking we are not good enough, beautiful enough, strong enough, etc...
when we can have compassion to ourselves and practice acceptance it can be easy to have compassion to others cause how we feel inside manifest outside.🙏
These videos are absolutely incredible! I am loving these. I never understood what meditation was about and I would try it and try it again and again. Getting nowhere. Not understanding the importance of it. You explain it so well and I am so excited to get through each one of your videos. Thank you so much! And thank you to Gene from Astral Doorway for helping me find you!
Glad you like them!
This was all explained in Gnostic Students with this Master but now it was all so simple and clear for everyone starting to learn Gnostic teachings. Namaste
Thank you very much.... so many explanations. And they all make perfect sense to me; they ring in me.
I want to Thank You for this. I've made a Playlist of the 8. The best, understandable, in depth, accurate teaching I've found in almost 12 yrs. of My practice. You made it way easier to comprehend all of these realities. Don't get Me wrong, Ive learned alot from many Teachers on TH-cam and I am very thankful for them all, but You filled in alot of realities I've had trouble with, like actually ....seeing.
I asked SEVERAL times about this and never received a clear answer. Like they were....afraid, or not willing to or just didn't know if it was real. I never went to study clairvoyance because I thought it was in another subject area of its own. And never told or even suggested to, to ...go there. So thank You for this. 🥰😄
Incredible. Bravo! In 2019, I unexpectedly towered into a spiritual process and this video outlines so much of what I had to self discover already. Thanks for adding the missing pieces. ❤
Thank you thank you thank you!!!🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
This is such helpful information and the way you connect it to everyday life makes it much easier to comprehend. So much favor and gratitude💚🙏🏼

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for your gifts to humanity. I am eternally thankful!
You are so welcome
AMEN!
As usual, very easy to follow difficult and necessary topics! Most of all I liked the deeper way of looking at TAPAS, the acceptance of penance. Thank you all for all your efforts for humanity!🙏
Can't just watch this once nor 10 times.
Until fully understood.
Repeat.
it starts now
What was that music at the end i really liked it
Excellent video again. Loving this format of video/lecture combined and how you've emphasised all the key aspects of meditation/yoga in a concise way. I liked how you utilised the video and music, for instance, the part at the beginning when the camera focus fades in and out to symbolise distracted attention. These are great additional resources to the usual detailed and profound lectures. Thank you all for your efforts
Glad you enjoyed it!
🌹
Thank you this is so beautiful!! I am curious about the remark of “no thoughts.” I have been meditating for 6 years and my experience is transcending thoughts, stopping them was a frustrating task.
When our mind is silent we are able to leave our body, or samadhi.
We must transcend our mind by putting it into abeyance by comprehending its many suggestions and distractions. Once steadied, it should heel to our call so as to pacify and allow the ability to visualize to totally arise, with fixation on an image until absorbed within it we leave the body in a samadhi.
This video is a combination of motion picture and slideshow presentation; so, was it edited in an video editing application or a slideshow application?
Thank you 🙏 what is the title of the music at the end? It is very beautiful . I cannot find it in yt. 💕
You won't find it.... :)
Sad :(
@@cf9401 Well, you can hear it in the lectures :)
These are all very good🙏. @23:55, talking about Pranayama not being able to move freely if we are tense-my question then is: some medititational exercises recommend moving Prana by engaging pelvic floor muscles and root lock-thus driving the prana up the spine. This seems contradictory. How would/can I understand this better🤔???
Depends on your goal. If you want to enter meditation, you must become still and silent. All pranayams taught in authentic meditation traditions are intended to lead to stillness and silence. There are many pranayama techniques that are very popular but have nothing to do with actual meditation.
My biggest question is when meditating is being aware of a thought, feeling or impulse just knowing it’s there then say moving back to focusing on breath. That “letting it be” and just moving back to breath, is that disassociating with it.
I know at some point to do the shadow work you need to meditate on the causes of thought or feeling to exercise the ego. I wanted to be sure I wasn’t over simplifying the process.
The initial aim is to develop enough concentration that you do not forget you are meditating. Once you have that, you no longer need to concentrate on breath or simple objects: you should then be meditating on egos, sufferings, problems, etc.
Thank you!!! who is the speaker of this lecture ?
The instructors who teach the lectures and courses are volunteers from a wide variety of backgrounds. Each has years of experience teaching and working with the practices and exercises that awaken the consciousness. Since the goal of dharma, yoga, or gnosis is to follow our inner Being, and to focus on divinity not terrestrial personalities, the lecturers remain anonymous, and do not broadcast their names, faces, or personal information. They do not have spiritual titles or names, do not accept followers, and live their lives anonymously like any other person in society.

Humbling reply!
Music name at the end?
By Emmanuel Jacob www.emmanuel-jacob.com/
I have a question about Brahmacharya - everyone I look online about it is men talking about semen retention, and a lot of traditional websites tend to say don't even marry. I'm an engaged lesbian with no desire for celibacy, but I also have such a minimal sex drive that when my partner and I do the do it's all about our emotional connection and sharing energy. I'm not distracted by sex or masterbation and we both have discussed how sex is just a fun thing we do every couple weeks. but has no bearing on our level of intimacy and love for each other. Does that sound like it can be in line with these teachings?
glorian.org/connect/blog/what-is-brahmacharya
If we abandon everything that makes us seemingly human, how do we maintain relationships? If I'm devoid of desire, why would I want anything? Why would I want to hug my grandmother or love my wife when these people can die or leave me. Isn't wanting that also a cause for suffering?
The word desire used in the video refers to selfish desires like envy, lust, pride, laziness, etc. By conquering them, our true nature is liberated, which is genuine love, contentment, patience, zeal, diligence, compassion, etc.
Really hope someone answer me, I’m 16 and I suffered a lot in these last years from thinking, from asking myself questions that I couldn’t find the answers, I discovered what really is meditation like a month ago and I’m so interested by it, by the consciousness, but I’m having problems to restraint myself, cause I’m doing things i should not be doing, but I’m afraid I can’t let them go, because I feel like they help me to stay alive, even if their harmful and I still wanna enjoy life as society tells to (even if it’s damaging), I don’t know why but I’m afraid that because I’m a teenager I can’t simply be as conscious as an adult and that is blocking me, maybe I’m wrong but I can’t find the answers myself. also I take antidepressants and I’m question that they are some what blocking my “real” consciousness, do they affect this “journey”?
May you all be happy :)
We suggest that you start studying the teachings, especially the introductory books here: glorian.org/books.
I thought aparigraha meant non-avarice, non-possessiveness; not necessarily non-desire?
glorian.org/learn/glossary/a/aparigraha
Thanks, that makes sense! @@Glorian
This contains mostly Hindu references and explanations. So then, which Buddhist scriptures/sutra's might I turn to in order to find similar steps?
The Buddha was Indian and these are the techniques he used to reach enlightenment. In addition, as the course explains, these are not religious steps, but practical, so they apply to any philosophical or religious approach. But if you want something labelled buddhist, try this course: glorian.org/learn/courses-and-lectures/meditation-without-exertion
@@GlorianVicebound here from a different channel. Right right, these steps are universal. Your meditation without exertion should have many of the terms that I'm looking for, as I've been striving to explain my courses in my own words but also staying somewhat consistent with certain religions. Your quick response is much appreciated!
Being completely empty empty sel
We lose what we are not intrested in
I have a desire to write something funny... except humor is probably an ego thing, right?
No.
Comedy is fine and natural.
A knife is not evil, but its intent and use may make it so. Let it be used properly in its place and time to serve us productively.
So, in other words, multitasking messed up my mind.
We must train ourselves to stay focused on whatever task that is at hand. Our whole attention and focus allows us to notice that imperceptible flaw in any situation which awakens the consciousness, if we know how to simply step aside and test for ourselves whether we are within our physical body or outside of it. If we will do a little jump to see whether we will float, or to simply pull our finger to see if it was elastically expand will be enough to alert us and awaken our consciousness.
Will do. Thank You 🙏🏾
“The wealthy acquire their wealth by taking it from others”. While undoubtedly true for some, this is not universally true.
I own a business. The employees voluntarily give their labor, to earn a living. The customers voluntarily give their money, because they will benefit from the service. And, I am “wealthy”, and pay taxes from which the society benefits.
I did not “take” anything from anyone-they voluntarily exchanged their labor or money for their personal gain. All involved are better off than they were before the transaction described.

th-cam.com/video/PFwIOJc2a3Y/w-d-xo.html
@@Glorian“Poverty” is the natural state of mankind-poverty is literally a “lack of wealth”, just as darkness just is a lack of light. By material standards, indigenous people are quite “poor”. Consequently, there is only one solution to “poverty”, and that is wealth creation. Those who create wealth through voluntary exchange with others elevate the overall well-being of humankind-employees have a job, and consumers enjoy the goods or services.
Those who “take” wealth through coercive force or fraud are the problem…i.e. corrupt governments and criminals.
Too many “spiritual” people cast aspersions at the “wealthy”, as if creating wealth is in and of itself somehow harmful. It is not.
And, how much of the “harm” of wealth inequality is really just envy and covetousness experienced by those with a relative lack of wealth? In the United States, anyway, the poorest people, for the most part, have what would be by historical, worldwide standards, a very comfortable lifestyle.
So, whereas superficial spiritual seekers tend to extol the virtuous poor over the exploitative wealthy, the discerning seeker knows that, as always, the truth lies in the middle way, that the greed and ambition of the “wealthy” are no worse than the sloth and envy of the “poor”.
Just one man’s opinion, of course!
Indeed. We provided the links to indicate what the instructor was referring to. Ultimately, each of us are simply receiving the consequences of our previous actions. The problem is that none of us see the truth of that, and instead point our fingers at others.
@@Glorian👍Keep up the Good Work! Every “problem” we have can be solved by our internal work.
T. Vann : Thank you so very much. This is fantastic. I will review this information as much as needed.🤔🙂🙂. Thank you again for being here.🙏🏾💜☀️
