What we're about
Join us for meditation sessions and public lectures on the gnostic teachings, a practical, spiritual and scientific methodology for transforming suffering and acquiring personal knowledge of the divine.
Gnosis is the universal wisdom at the heart of all great religions and mystical traditions, and has manifested through innumerable teachers and spiritual guides. At the Gnostic Academy of Chicago, we study the nature of the complete human being through a variety of practices and subjects: gnosticism, meditation, consciousness, Buddhism, kabbalah, alchemy and tantra, yoga, self-transformation, alternative medicine, spiritual initiation, the tarot, astrology, dreams and astral projection, awakening, Kundalini and more.
Gnosis is a revolutionary mystical science aimed at the complete development of the human being. Gnosis is about acquiring direct experience of fundamental mystical truths, to know the mysteries of life and death for oneself, and goes far beyond intellectualism, speculations, beliefs or theories. What we seek to impart is the practical wisdom of how to change our life into something better, through the comprehensive didactic of self-knowledge, compassion and understanding.
These practical teachings are available to all people, regardless of language, culture, race or gender. We welcome people from all religions and denominations toward the study of actualizing our intimate potential.

Topic: Kabbalah: The Yoga of the West
Time: Jun 22,[masked]:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)
Kabbalah, the esoteric or mystical dimension of Jewish thought, embodies universal principles reflected within the heart of all great religions, particularly Judaism and Christianity. While expressed through Hebrew scripture, narrative, folklore, law, and prayer, Kabbalah conveys spiritual truths applicable to all of humanity, simultaneously elucidating conventional Jewish traditions and the path of personal, divine experience.
Many Westerners lack a fundamental understanding of their social, religious, and philosophical roots. Likewise, many Jews and Christians have distanced themselves from the mystical origins of their traditions. This is why Kabbalah is sometimes referenced as the Yoga of the West, for it offers a form of practical spirituality best suited for our modern dispensation. Discover how through the writings of Gershom Scholem, Arthur Green, Manly P. Hall, Dion Fortune, and Samael Aun Weor.

The Rune Laf symbolizes the forces of life and can be performed on the 27th of any month, when divine, solar energies are most active and intense. This rune aids in the elevation of one's mind and heart by attracting, accumulating, and directing these forces. Learn how to practice this simple but profound exercise with a group of like-minded individuals.

The Voice of the Silence: The Three Halls
"Three Halls, O weary pilgrim, lead to the end of toils. Three Halls, O conqueror of Mara, will bring thee through three states into the fourth and thence into the seven worlds, the worlds of Rest Eternal. If thou would'st learn their names, then hearken, and remember." ―The Voice of the Silence
Enclosed within the opening stanzas of The Voice of the Silence is a profound teaching of the four states of consciousness within Gnostic Psychology. Learn the fundamental make-up of cognizant experience, the ephemeral states of conditioned, sleeping consciousness, as well as the awakened state of alert perception and its unification with the Innermost: our divine being.
