hello! I have been reading the teachings of Samael aun Weor and other articles and courses on this website now for a few months. I have reading about our consciousness and how to awaken it. I understand that we are more than just these physical vehicles. That being said, I would conclude that if we are more than physical we can experience that non physical. however, while reading these teachings on various topics there are questions that come up in regards to the Bible. there are things that are taught here that you could say aren't in the Bible. i.e. Samael aun Weor teaches that we get 108 lives. things of that nature. I understand the answer that is most likely given. There can be no understanding without awakening the consciousness. I understand that the questions I have are not in the Bible but also they are not spoken directly against in the Bible either. It has been said my many that Gnostic teachings are some of the oldest false teachings in history. to that I say who declared them false? I try to have an objective view on everything. I am open to explanation however I do struggle to give answers to people when they declare that these teachings are "adding" or "taking away" from the Bible. Are these questions something i can only know once my consciousness is awakened? Are there articles with "cold hard facts" as they say? I would very much like assistance regarding all of this due to the fact that something in me wants to stop suffering, and come to a knowledge of the truth
