Contest for Gnostic instructors

The organizing committee the XIXth International Gnostic Congress of Anthropology holds a contest for all Gnostic instructors of the World who wish to cooperate in this great event.
To take part as a lecturer at the Congress, the conditions to be fulfilled are the following:


  . Be a instructor certified by one of the three Training Centres belonging to the Gnostic Institute of Anthropology in Mexico, Canada and Spain.
. Present a piece of research (that will be exposed in form of a spoken or audiovisual lecture, or both at a time) in accordance with Gnostic teaching passed on by V. M. Samael Aun Weor.
. For a matter of time, the lecture will have a maximum duration of “one hour”, this is the reason why we do ask that the proposed subjects fit this duration.
 
 
The aim of your participation
Each Gnostic Congress represents a historic event for the development of Gnosis worldwide.
Congresses renew forces which are necessary for this development to rise to higher octaves.
The quality of this renewal partly depends on the research work presented during the Congress.
During the last years of his life, Master Samael used to say that the Gnostic must put an end to the “stereotype sickness”, i.e. the mechanical tendency of becoming tired of the ancient and old fashioned way of doing.
This is why we suggest that instructors who contest sharpen their imagination and inspiration faculties in order to develop real research themes that may bring strength and light to the participants at the Congress.

 
Special suggestion
For your lectures, we suggest to use audiovisual aids as these are one of the most important means to spread knowledge. We all know that it was Master Samael’s intention to increase the didactic use of audiovisual means. In his written work “Technotronics”, Master Samael explained the strong reasons that should lead to the use of an audiovisual system, some of which are detailed hereafter:
Why are Gnostic audiovisual lectures necessary?:

¿Por qué las presentaciones audiovisuales gnósticas son necesarias?:

1º.- Normally, we remember only about 10% of what we hear; however, of what we both see and hear, we remember about 50%. This will be possible thanks to the audiovisual aids that will be used in our institutions.
2º.- Actually, in reality, we are used to perceive information visually. The generations of today have grown up with the influence of TV, cinema, books, cameras... finally, with all kinds of visual stimulations that lead to fascination. Thus, Gnostic audiovisual lectures will lead to check our lectures and to maintain the attention of our audience, would there be two people or thousands.
3º.- Percentages undoubtedly confirm what we are saying. We can motivate an audience with discussions and lectures but approximately 90% of what we say is forgotten or wrongly interpreted by the Ego. However, by means of audiovisual lectures, what is remembered can be increased from 10% to 50%.
4º.- Thanks to audiovisual aids, Gnostics will be able to organize their lectures in a more objective and real way, and in a format that will clearly lead us toward concrete solutions and more realistic lectures…
