Glorian Publishing (formerly Thelema Press) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing humanity with the essential wisdom that resides in the heart of all the world’s great mystical and religious traditions. That wisdom is called Gnosis: the universal wisdom of the awakened consciousness.

Gnosis is the universal balm that dispels ignorance, which is the root of suffering. Glorian is dedicated to the proliferation of the Gnostic teachings through all forms of media.

Gnosis

The light of spiritual wisdom has expressed itself in many forms, according to the needs of any particular time and place.  Those forms have been called “religions” but all spring from that one light: the source of all religion.

All religions are precious pearls strung on the golden thread of divinity. - Samael Aun Weor

We call that primordial, root religion “Gnosis.”

Gnosis is the spiritual heritage and birthright of all humankind.

Gnosis is the exact science that leads to conscious experience of the divine.

Gnosis—a Greek word for “knowledge”—is the synthesis of all the world’s religions.

The student of Gnosis is not asked to believe anything or follow anyone. Instead, they are given practical tools that—if used sincerely—lead to personal, direct experience of the truth.  Only in this way can real change occur.

The Staff of Glorian

Our staff is made up entirely of volunteers who receive no financial compensation for their contributions. Nonetheless, driven by the sincere wish to help others, in only a few short years Glorian has created the following resources for humanity:

  • A ground-breaking DVD revealing the ancient knowledge of sacred sexuality long hidden in all the world’s religions
  • More than thirty high-quality books
  • World-renowned websites, including 14 free online courses, hundreds of articles, and an extensive glossary of spiritual terminology
  • Over 170 free lecture downloads and a free online radio station
  • An online store available to anyone in the world
  • Annual, international retreats open to anyone

Book Publishing

Our special focus is on the writings of Samael Aun Weor. Between 1950 and 1977, he wrote over seventy books in Spanish, all of which explain the universal meaning hidden in every great religion and mythological tradition. For thirty years, our translator (a student of Samael Aun Weor) has been preparing English editions of these works. Glorian began publishing these translations in 2001. Beginning in 2008, Glorian will begin publishing works from other important contributors to the Gnostic tradition.

Radio

Glorian also operates Gnostic Radio, a free online radio station and lecture library. The streaming radio broadcast is currently available direct and through Live365. The lecture library features a comprehensive collection of Gnostic lectures available for free download and podcast.

Video

Glorian produced and released its first video in 2007: "Sex: The Secret Gate to Eden - Alchemy, Kabbalah, and Tantra hidden in the Mysteries of Adam and Eve." Additional videos are being prepared for production.

Websites

Our websites rank in the top ten in Google searches for “gnosis” or “gnostic.” Our Gnostic Teachings website has received almost 4 million visitors since it was launched in 2005. All of our websites are free and unrestricted.

Retreats

Glorian sponsored non-sectarian, public International Gnostic Retreats in 2007 and 2008. Both sold-out and received rave reviews. You can learn about retreats at the website.

Our Goal: Universal Relief from Suffering

All of our book publishing, websites, radio lectures, and videos have been made possible by donations from people around the world. Anyone and everyone is free to study the teachings of Gnosis, regardless of their religious, political, or sectarian affiliations, thus our books, websites, and other projects are made available to everyone without restriction or regard to race, sex, country, flag, politics, or culture.  Gnosis is for all of humanity.

Glorian regularly makes donations of books and other materials to prisons, libraries, hospitals, hospices, and other facilities where people are seeking knowledge. To support our free book program or request materials for your organization, please contact us.

Glorian Publishing provides books and support materials to all of the Gnostic schools under the guidance of Samael Aun Weor. For information about ordering books for your school, please contact us.

Glorian Publishing, in cooperation with the variety of Gnostic Institutions around the world, welcomes all of humanity into these studies.
