E81 - Dr. Robert Gilbert: The Forgotten Wisdom Of The Rosicrucians: A Framework for Spiritual Actualization | Know Thyself

In this podcast, Dr. Robert Gilbert takes us on an insightful journey into Rosicrucianism and Gnosticism. He introduces the idea that "In the beginning was the memory," highlighting the need to reclaim our innate knowledge and purpose in every lifetime. The discussion covers the evolution of human consciousness, our disconnection from subtle realms, and the current chance to regain clairvoyant abilities while nurturing our subtle bodies for spiritual growth. Dr. Gilbert addresses the challenges of discernment in a world filled with fragmented spiritual information, the risks of ego inflation, and the necessity of self-observation and mindful practices. These tools help us develop an "illuminated will" and navigate the influences of Luciferic and Ahrimanic forces. Ultimately, the podcast inspires listeners to embark on a journey of self-discovery, embrace mindful living, and serve others, all while striving for a new golden age of human consciousness.
