Dr. Robert Gilbert joins the podcast today to unpack the core teachings of rosicrucianism: a philosophy that synthesizes the best of ancient wisdom teachings and provides a foundation for living a spiritual life. He reveals how humanity lost touch with our intuitive gifts and access to the subtle bodies, as well as the great potential we have for regaining these spiritual powers. He explains how to structure the subtle body in your own life, awaken your energy centers, and direct your life by the power of illuminated will. Dr. Gilbert provides a strong foundation for anyone interested in understanding how to unlock spiritual illumination in a balanced and integrated way.
