“Only life intensely lived provides lasting wisdom.” —Samael Aun Weor “Only life intensely lived provides lasting wisdom.” —Samael Aun Weor The Gnostic Academy of Chicago provides a place of learning and worship. We explain how all mystical traditions and religions offer transformative knowledge for the alleviation of suffering. We study the nature of the complete human being through a variety of perspectives and subjects, for each religion complements, educates, and guides through the rich diversity of inner principles and forms. Through study and practical exercises at our center, one identifies, comprehends, and intuits the universal thread connecting all religions, which is the experiential wisdom of an awakened consciousness.
