| 0:00.0 | As human consciousness evolves, the form that spiritual traditions take will evolve with it. |
| 0:07.0 | In the evolution of human consciousness, we went from an early state where human beings were effortlessly clairvoyant. |
| 0:13.0 | Over time, this ancient form of clairvoyance began to die out. |
| 0:17.0 | We're in a sleeping trance state all the time, and that's one reason why there's so much destructive |
| 0:22.2 | activity in the world. So the goal is to be conscious all the time through the self-remembering |
| 0:26.1 | process. There's certain things we have to be very cautious of. It doesn't matter if you're a musician |
| 0:30.6 | or you're an artist or you're an architect or whatever. There's always the ego inflation challenge |
| 0:36.6 | that will come in. But on the spiritual |
| 0:38.2 | path, it's particularly deadly. This is very much a time of being able to break the old patterns |
| 0:45.8 | and regain some of our old skills at a higher level. We really do have the opportunity now |
| 0:52.3 | to create a new golden age. |
| 0:58.6 | If you choose the skillful way rather than the unskilledful way, you can get there more quickly. |
| 1:01.9 | You can suffer less and you can help other people to suffer less. |
| 1:06.1 | It's never too late to wake up and start now wherever you are on the path. Hey, everyone. Welcome back to the Know They Self podcast. I am so looking forward to this podcast. |
| 1:17.2 | One of my favorite things is when I get to do a two, three plus hour deep dive into some sort |
| 1:22.6 | of philosophy or new area of life and understanding that I've recently found very fascinating |
| 1:27.4 | and revealing and awakening |
| 1:28.7 | from my own personal path. Today we're going to be diving in deep today with somebody who's a |
| 1:34.0 | leading scholar and Rosha Crucianism, Gnosticism, sacred geometry, the process of self-awakening, |
| 1:40.9 | and so much more. So Dr. Robert Gilbert, thanks for being here. Wonderful. Thank you so much for having me. |
| 1:45.7 | Yeah. The Rosicrucian saying in the beginning was the memory. |
| 1:49.5 | Yes. |
