Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac and is related to the eighth house of darkness and death. Its colour is black and its metal is lead. To the average person, Scorpio seems frightening, for it brings darkness and loss of consciousness. But to those who courageously and ceaselessly strive for deeper knowledge, the mystery of darkness and death is revealed.

Picture to the month of Scorpio: A few weeks before his transition November 2022, Master KPK (Dr K. Parvathi Kumar) gave a prayer called “Master CVV Sharing“. It refers to Master CVV’s mission to connect the spiritual groups and share the creation and building of an energy grid around the Earth, thus helping to uplift humanity and the Earth into the realms of Light.

The prayer is intended to remind us to consciously connect the individual Kundalini with the group Kundalini and with the Kundalini of all spiritual groups that are oriented towards the Hierarchy. From there the spiritual Kundalini may merge with the Kundalini of Humanity and the Earth Kundalini, and further with the Kundalini of the Hierarchy, and up to Shambala. All global groups may remain connected and the energies be shared with all groups to uplift the Earth to the Kings of Beauty.

The image visualises the linking and merging of the individual Kundalini with the Kundalini of the global groups. For this I used elements from various earlier paintings. The image is centred on the central axis as the planetary Kundalini and indicates the spiritual upward movement leading beyond our planet.

At the bottom, you see individual persons forming a group, the rainbow snippets symbolizing the different Kundalinis. Out of the group rises a greater form with a longer Kundalini symbolizing the humanity. It is looking up to the huge lighted form symbolizing the Hierarchy and Shambala with a white spot at the top surrounded by an aura of light. The white central axis over the planet might be seen as the Kundalini of the Earth aligned with the higher centres.

Yesterday, 9 October 2023, was the 149th birthday of Nicholas Roerich (9 October 1874 – 13 December 1947). On this occasion, the Anima team shared a video they recorded last August in the Roerich Museum in Manhattan about Roerich’s years in New York (“Who was Nicholas Roerich and what did he do in NY?”).

Even if it is in Spanish, you can activate the automatic subtitles or just enjoy the visual tour of the museum that is offered in the video.

Before humans coming, nature is there. Before and independent of our experiencing, the creative power of nature expresses itself and shapes the forms. Last Sunday, my wife and I were at a valley near the Eiger North Face. There is a small road going uphill from Meiringen through the Reichenbach (Rychenbach) valley in the Bernese Alps towards Grindelwald.

The valley was illumined by soft, golden autumn light shining through the trees. We had a look at some places and then stopped at the parking near the Rosenlaui glacier canyon.

Over eons of time, water from the Rosenlaui Glacier had dug a deep gorge into the stones, pressing through the rocks with great intensity. Humans had cut an uphill pathway into the sidewall of the canyon and through tunnels at medium height between the riverbed and the upper end of the gorge.

We experienced awe-inspiring moments when we approached the canyon and then stood inside, surrounded by rock faces. When we went through the gorge, the Sun just lit up the chasm and illuminated the drops of water falling from above. Rapids, roaring waterfalls, darkness, then spashing sunlight – intense impressions.

As the path became tight, I had to keep my hand at the handrail when looking downward or upward. It is an experience like going through a time of crisis, where you have to look for each next step only and go forward slowly. Along a path others have prepared before but which you have to walk yourself.

On this pathway through the rocks, you can only climb uphill, the path being too small for two directions. It comes again out of the abyss at the upper end. In a crisis, you will also come out again at the upper end when you have walked through into a new phase of life.

Outside, there was a small rock garden with many little towers of pebbles, “stone people”. Seen from the here, the chasm looks quite small.

We went down again and then through the valley to the Schwarzwaldalp (“Black Forest Alp”) on the pass road from the Haslital over the Grosse Scheidegg pass to Grindelwald; the small hamlet now consists just of a hotel, a simple tourist hostel with a restaurant, and an old sawmill.

The sawmill in its present size dates from 1896. It was constructed for building a spa house which burned down in 1943. An old man together with his grandson was operating the saw slowly cutting the trunk to wooden planks.

During lunch on the terrace of the hostel, we were surrounded by hikers, bikers and tourists which the post buses had brought uphill. Later, we we went a bit further along the road towards Grindelwald, which is blocked for non-public motor vehicles, and down to the Reichenbach river. When driving back from the mountains, we were still under the spell of the intense beauty and wildness of the Alpine mountain nature.

It was 1st of January 2020 in Visakhapatnam, India. In a talk with Master KPK, I spoke to him about the need of creating a digital archive to collect all video and audio material, publications and transcriptions and relevant photo material related to the World Teacher Trust, meaning mainly the work of Master EK and Master KPK. At that time, the material was dispersed on various personal computers and hard-disks. He agreed and found it an important idea.

9 months later, the archive project was started with a team of 7 members – highly qualified, living in different corners of the globe. In the meanwhile, it was Corona time. The need for digital collaboration had highly increased – and there was time for these members to come together – their jobs were on “home office”. For about 2 years, we followed an intense rhythm of meetings, of concept-discussions and of building up a cloud-based archive structure. And then we collected many terabytes of material, mainly saving video recordings from seminars and teachings in various languages.

I asked Master KPK to give a name to this archive. He said “Kombo Cave”. I didn’t understand what it means; and I didn’t find anything on the web. So, I asked again. He answered: “Kombo Cave is the name of the cave where the scrolls of wisdom of Pythagoras were stored – but don’t ask me more.” I understood. We named the cloud archives Kombo Cave. And: “Inspired by the lives and teachings of the great Teachers of Eternal Wisdom”.

It is non-public, just for those who work with the material. Later, an area is planned to be made accessible to interested seekers – but we are not yet there. The cloud space, however, gives possibilities for certain group collaborations.

When Corona started to recede, the personal job work load of the team members increased again. It became more difficult to continue with the pace of the free goodwill work for the archives. We did some re-structuring. Video editing – in a team work – takes a lot of time; qualified members capable of doing such work are very rare (video consumers are plenty….).

We searched for other ways. We wanted high quality, not quick “social media friendly video spots” but videos with wisdom teachings for seekers. It is a different level.

It took quite some time to create the intro and outro templates for the videos, with the motive “sunrise and sunset at the Master Mountain in the Nilagiris“, for the titles, with the right music. We finally found a very experienced Indian bamboo flute player to give some sequences from the “Maitreya song”.

For bringing out these videos, we just prepared a YouTube video channel for the WTT-Global and have taken over another channel, where several videos about Master KPK’s teachings etc. had been published already previously. We did a re-branding to give it a new outlook. The address of the new channel is https://www.youtube.com/@WTT-Global.

Now, in time for Libra Equinox, the video “Autumn Equinox Discourse” by Master KPK, September 21 2020, (59 min.) has just been published on YouTube. It is the first video publication with the new design. Other videos are soon ready to be published.

Libra reminds us to maintain the right balance in life. The time of Libra equinox assists us in rebalancing, harmonizing and remaining more within our centre.

The Images of Synthesis for the month of Libra illustrate the related symbolism. You find there all previous Libra paintings with detailed explanations in four languages (en/de/es/fr). You can also download print-versions for free.

Each year during the 4th ascending moon phase of Virgo, we celebrate the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the lord of wisdom and the cosmic principle of Jupiter, as well as the birthday of Sripada Srivallabha, the first avatar of Lord Dattatreya in Kali Yuga. Dattatreya being the cosmic teaching principle, Sripada also expresses the energies of Ganesha.

3 September 2011, I did a painting uniting Ganesha and Dattatreya, called “Sagittarius: The Tree of Wisdom and the Waters of Life”. Here is the description.

Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, representing the teacher and the search for wisdom. In the Eastern teachings the cosmic Jupiter is symbolised by Ganesha, the elephant-headed God, the incarnation of divine wisdom. The principle of the Teacher on the cosmic plane is Lord Dattatreya, the higher potency of Lord Maitreya, who is worshipped as the world teacher. Dattatreya is illustrated as a youth with 3 heads. The tree related to Jupiter, wisdom and meditation, is the Ficus Religiosa.

I started with a photo of a statue of Ganesha reading a book of wisdom. Behind him there is the trunk of a Ficus Religiosa. In its crown there are the three heads of Lord Dattatreya. Above you see the eyes of Lord Narayana. Looking into these magical eyes leads you to the inner dimensions. The brilliance of the higher energies is visualised in the white flame between the eyes, hinting at the third eye, the divine opening.

I created with crayons the movements of the ascending and descending etheric flow and the flames surrounding the heads of Dattatreya. I was fascinated by the innocence of the childlike looks that are full of divine peace and radiance.

As for Lord Ganesha, he seems to enjoy sitting there under the Ficus tree and reading the book of eternal wisdom. Everything is a part of the flowing movements and the mystery of Creation.
