Gnostic Anthropology and Cosmology | Mayan Precepts of Awakening

A continuation of Mayan Principles of Being, this lecture explores the nature of psychological forces, attention, divine states, and mystical reality within The Flight of the Feathered Serpent, a book of Mayan esotericism. To understand the clarion call of its author, it is necessary to confront our current condition and the common state of humanity.

Despite our best intentions, we live in a state of illusion, thinking we are awake, when in truth we are hypnotized and identified with material life, investing our identities within superficial external phenomena without understanding their correlation with the deepest parts of ourselves. It is by cultivating conscious perception and insight into the internal causes of suffering that we can comprehend how to positively change the trajectory of our lives and society, for if we do not truly know ourselves, ennobled action in daily life becomes impossible.

Through meditative techniques like self-observation (actively watching our internal states in body, heart, and mind), self-remembrance (connecting our inner states with divinity), and energy conservation (purifying the way we save and spend our creative capital), we fuel our capacity for awakening our latent potential for the betterment of the world. See how through the mystical lyricism of this powerful esoteric text.
