In this episode of the Wisdom Keeper podcast, I’m delighted to be joined by Dr. Robert Gilbert a leading scholar of Western esotericism and sacred geometry, particularly the Rosicrucian tradition of mystical Christianity. Using ancient cosmological maps Robert locates our human civilization entering a period of darkness and fragmentation co-emerging with a dramatic expansion of consciousness and global ascension. Robert and I converse about the hidden dimensions of unseen beings, angels, and deities, as well as the similarities between the Tibetan Buddhist tantras and the Rosicrucian path of bio-geometry each repatterning the energy flow in our subtle-body nervous system so we can fulfill our purpose as incarnate souls in the world. I know you’ll enjoy Robert’s wealth of knowledge and coherent synthesis as much as I do. In this episode Robert and I discuss: • The Vedic Yuga cosmology and where we find ourselves in the 25,000-year cosmic cycle. • Entering the Age of Archangel Michael represents the expansion of esoteric knowledge and consciousness. • The signature and call to action of our age: to be highly self-actualized and to forge unique integrations from the fragments of various ancient esoteric knowledge systems. • Origins and character of the Rosicrucian tradition of Christian mysticism. • The secret dimension of unseen angelic beings around us, and the spiritual battle between Luciferian and Satanic forces. • The middle way and middle pilar between spiritual transcendence and worldly attachment. • Similarities across esoteric wisdom traditions East and West including Egypt, Greece, India, and Tibet. • Energy or yogic practices from Buddhist tantra to Rosicrucianism designed to open our heart center, help us remember who we are, and fulfill our life’s purpose.

He is a former U.S. Marine Corps Instructor in Nuclear-Biological-Chemical Warfare Defense and holds a Ph.D. in International Studies. Dr. Gilbert has since 1985 conducted independent research into spiritual science to understand the non-physical basis of consciousness and the material world, drawing on the hidden initiation teachings & practices of great traditions worldwide. He has also extensively researched vibrational sciences and new energetic healing technologies. Dr. Gilbert holds the distinction of being the first non-Egyptian authorized to teach the new science of BioGeometry, developed by Dr. Ibrahim Karim of Cairo, Egypt. BioGeometry offers practical applications of Shape, Sound, Color, Motion, Angle, Number, and Proportion to harmonize life energy and benefit all living beings, as demonstrated at the Egyptian National Research Centre in projects conducted in the early 1990s. Dr. Gilbert recently released a new series entitled Sacred Geometry & Spiritual Science on the Gaia channel, revealing many hidden patterns that guide and control our lives on Earth.
