Lecture 19 — The Three Factors of the Revolution of the Consciousness
Gnostic Anthropology

Samael Aun Weor
The Secret History of Humanity
For centuries, humanity has been caught
between science (evolutionism) and
religion (creationism) fighting about our
origin and purpose. Even though both
sides have some truths, both are crippled
by blind faith in theories, beliefs, and
speculations that are short on facts, and
abundant in contradictions and
shortcomings.
What if the truth about life — its origin,
purpose, and future — could be found
through the union of science and religion?
What if, rather than relying on fanatics who
only repeat what they have been told, one
could learn to perceive and experience the
truth for oneself? This is the essential point
of view of Gnosis: knowledge from
conscious experience. By awakening
consciousness (which is “religion”) to
perceive reality as it is (which is “science”),
one can begin to see that our history is far
more incredible than modern science or
religion suspect… more

On one of the episodes of Star Trek, the
original TV series, the Enterprise suffered
an accident resulting in the existence of two
completely different ships. On one ship
each crewman was “normal” and on the
other, everyone was “evil.” There was a
“good” Captain Kirk and also an “evil”
Captain Kirk. Spock, being a character
normally associated with near perfection,
also had an “evil” version. The episode was
well done because the interplay between
the “good” and “evil” personas made for
excellent TV.
Thought provoking entertainment like this,
pushes us to look more closely at
ourselves. We tend to identify more with the
“good” Captain Kirk, not realizing that we
too have an “evil” component. We get
uncomfortable when it is suggested that
perhaps there is some “evil” within each of
us. Allow yourself to be uncomfortable. Be
brave and look inside. “How,” you ask? All
you have to do is be quiet for a short time.
Then, you will find that images will flash in
your mind's eye. These images are the real
“you.” Ignorance means we “ignore” these
images. Albert Einstein spoke about the
imagination. He said that if we can imagine
something, then it is “real.” That thought can
be a bit scary; but remember we are being
brave.
In this podcast, Mr. E. Jim G. Ross explains
“evil.” Where did it come from? Is it possible
to get rid of it? How does it affect our lives?
These are all questions answered in
Gnostic Lectures, a series of podcasts
bringing you the teachings of Samael Aun
Weor.
If you have listened to all of the lectures to
date, you will be very familiar with Gnostic
Anthropology. This episode is particularly
important because it explains the “core
teachings” of Gnosis. The Three Factors of
the Revolution of the Consciousness
addresses the most important parts of this
very high knowledge.
The three factors are simply:
•
The dissolution of “evil,”
•
The weapons necessary to
accomplish this (transmutation), and
•
Sacrifice for humanity.
If this sounds too simple, it is. You should
listen to the podcast to get a proper
appreciation of what is going on inside each
one of us. This is the “Great Battle” talked
about in the Bhagavad Gita and the Holy
Bible. This is the battle of “good” against
“evil.”
It's hard for people to realize a great truth.
That is, if you destroy the evil within, your
world will change on the outside as well.
This type of “magic” is lost on the vast
majority of people. They keep fighting
“enemies” in the physical world, not
realizing that the universe put those
“enemies” there for us to learn. If we change
our interior, our exterior MUST change in
response to that act.
