Psychology

All of the ancient religions and mythologies are actually veils for a profound and practical psychology. Thus, hidden in our most beautiful and cryptic myths are eternal truths that can guide us towards the true goal of religion: religare, or union with truth. The path to accomplish this is through a deep knowledge of oneself.

"...while we are bottled up in the mind, what can we know about the Truth? Perhaps we know what other people say about the Truth. But what do we know? The important thing is not what other people say, but what we experience through ourselves. Our problem is how to get out of the mind. For this goal, in order to emancipate ourselves, we need a science, a wisdom. This science, this wisdom, is found within Gnosis. When one knows the how and the why of the mind, when one knows the different functionalisms of the mind, then one can control it. Thus, the mind becomes a useful and perfect instrument through which we can work for the benefit of humanity." - Samael Aun Weor, The Revolution of the Dialectic
