Sometimes there seems to be so much ignorance and chaos around us that is hard to make sense of it all. We yearn for a larger and more hopeful world view or some indication of a cleansing and a transformation, or some sign that a world in chaos may be a good thing. In an effort to grasp the big picture we might consider a larger frame of reference. Science and spirituality are often seen as being in conflict, yet, do they share a common understanding of reality? We are in a race between communication and catastrophe. What changes in consciousness are underway? Is humanity waking up to a new level of consciousness? Can we wake up in time? What are the psychological and spiritual roots of our global challenges? How can we awaken from the cultural hypnosis of consumerism and materialism? Pete and Duane’s Window is a program that explores our world in transition including topics such as consciousness, world trends, sustainability, spirituality, and our collective future. The show’s hosts, Peter Russell and Duane Elgin, are internationally recognized visionaries who have known one another for decades, and share an interest in awakening consciousness, both personal and global. As “evolutionary elders,” they see this time as pivotal for our species. Together, they eplore The Roots of Our Crisis -- powerful trends transforming our world and three scenarios for the future: 1) business as usual, 2) unstoppable decline, and 3) profound maturation. What are the psychological and spiritual roots of our global challenges? How can we awaken from the cultural hypnosis of consumerism and materialism? They also explore the foundations of love, how we can bring more of that quality into our own lives. Another point of viewThere is a root from which all knowledge has emerged. Humanity has many names for it; we call it Gnosis, which refers to intuitive knowledge of spiritual truths; said to have been possessed by ancient Gnostics.Samael Aun Weor
Samael Aun Weor remains largely unknown in the
English-speaking world. But in his native Latin America, he is known
internationally as the founder of the Gnostic Movement and author of
over seventy books
about the fundamental root knowledge from which all our most important
philosophical, scientific, and religious traditions blossomed. In recent
years, due to the efforts made by a small handful of people who arrived
in English-speaking countries in order to share their experience and
enthusiasm for the practical and effective science of Gnosis, interest
in Samael Aun Weor has been growing. Each year sees new schools, new
students, and new interest in the man and his message of compassionate
service, individual development, and the urgent need for radical change:
During the course of
several decades, Samael Aun Weor gave thousands of lectures in venues
ranging from auditoriums to the kitchen of a student. Many of these
talks were recorded and later transcribed into Spanish. Gradually, these
lectures are being translated into English.
* According to Hindu cosmology, life in the universe is created, destroyed once every 4.1 to 8.2 billion years, which is one full day (day and night) for Brahma. The lifetime of a Brahma himself may be 311 trillion and 40 billion years. The cycles are said to repeat like the seasons, waxing and waning within a greater time-cycle of the creation and destruction of the universe. Like Summer, Spring, Winter and Autumn, each yuga involves stages or gradual changes which the earth and the consciousness of mankind goes through as a whole. A complete yuga cycle from a high Golden Age of enlightenment to a Dark Age and back again is said to be caused by the solar system's motion around another star. A Yuga (Devanāgari: युग) in Hindu philosophy is the name of an 'epoch' or 'era' within a cycle of four ages. These are the Satya Yuga, the Treta Yuga, the Dvapara Yuga, and finally the Kali Yuga.
