Journey to Spain – Preparations – A Home for my Paintings

Friday, June 7th, 2024

In August 2023, there was an announcement that a European May Call celebration would be organised by WTT-Spain, and shortly afterwards, I heard that it would be in Córdoba, Southern Spain. At first, I thought, oh, that’s a long way. But then an idea developed: I was in contact with Jesus Rosauro from Murcia, Spain. I had met him and his mother Ursula at group lives in India. In a zoom call, Jesus showed me where he and his mother and grandmother were living – a huge farmhouse and a renovated barn house with long rooms which previously had served as a chicken hatchery. It now serves for meetings of groups of the catholic church – but they have no relation to it.

An idea came to me: Could this be a place for all the physical paintings which I had once produced for an exposition in Berlin 2015-16. Since then, the paintings had been ‘sleeping’ in our basement, together with some other artwork of earlier times. The idea was warmly received by Jesus and his mother Ursula. Plans developed for a car ride to Córdoba (about 2000 km each direction) with several stops on the way at homes of group members. Last January, the plans became concrete. I assigned all paintings and the related material to Jesus for 1 Euro to avoid custom and tax issues. Before starting the journey, I documented the material – the paintings, the books and the photo albums which I kept as scrap books

Albums and collections
Books about poems and paintings
Extract of the list with the paintings, titles in Spanish, from the 2015 customs declaration
Wrapping and packing the paintings

I felt very happy that I now could give all the work with “warm hands” to a place where the paintings are well received. I had waited since long for this moment. There was no interest in the work within my family. And time and again I noticed that for appreciating the paintings, people need to have an occult understanding and feeling for these “Images of Synthesis“, giving a visual expression to realities of the Wisdom Teachings. I also gave a stick with all digital high resolution material, presentations and videos about the paintings to Jesus and to Joan. A seed for the future.
On 23rd of May, the journey started.

15 Gemini Paintings

Sunday, May 12th, 2024

The air sign Gemini is ruled by Mercury and is connected to the throat centre and language. Humanity, the fourth kingdom of nature, is the throat centre of the earth. With right speech we can develop right relationships and enjoy friendly, harmonious relations. The spirit of the sign of Gemini is the goal of humanity: to feel that the other is not another, but a brother. This is what Maitreya stands for. He wants to initiate humanity into this principle of brotherhood.

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

Gemini – Descent and Ascent of the Divine Spark

Saturday, May 11th, 2024

According to the Wisdom Teachings, we are sparks of the divine. This is our inner nature. We are also known as solar angels. Like a ray of sunlight coming from the source of light, we have descended into earthly matter. As souls, we have gone through aeons of development on earth. We have entered a body again and again, forgetting that we are a spark of divine light. On the spiritual path, we are now beginning to turn once again to the source of light. We are developing more subtle bodies through which we are able to rise up out of dense matter. And the light of the inner sun begins to shine through us more and more.

To depict the sphere of the sun, the divine origin, in the upper part of the picture, I used a photo of a sunrise in which a ray of sunlight emerges as a reflection. I worked the ray into a line of light that leads from the white-yellow disc of the sun at the top to the point of light in the heart of the embryo at the bottom of the picture.

The beige-coloured sphere below the solar disc is designed with a NASA photo of Mercury. Occultly, “Mercury and the Sun are one”. For the luminous sphere below, I edited a photo of Venus. It symbolises the level of buddhic energy, the light of the soul.

For the background of the lower half of the picture, I used a photo of mountain ranges taken during a flight over the Alps. They symbolise the different levels of the earthly world. The snowy mountains in the upper part have merged with the sphere of Venus. This indicates the sphere of Manas, the mind, which merges upwards into the light of the buddhic sphere and downwards into the dense and darker material planes.

A field of light opens up into these darker spheres, in which an embryo shape is visible at the bottom. A delicately transparent human silhouette rises up from it, designed with an image of the human nervous system. The coloured spheres of light on the vertical ray from the embryo to the sun represent phases of human development.

15 Taurus Paintings

Saturday, April 13th, 2024

Taurus contains the principle of beauty in creation. Venus, the ruler of love and beauty in form, is the regent of this sign. Form is only a vessel through which beauty is reflected, but it is not beauty itself. Waves of beauty radiate through a flower. Its beauty lies in its completeness, not in the matter of the flower. Man and woman are also attracted to each other through beauty. Our reaction to beauty is expressed in the initial stages through desire, then aspiration and in higher levels through love. It finds its highest expression in bhakti, devotion to the divine.

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

Taurus – Vaisakh Full Moon Meditation

Friday, April 12th, 2024

At the Taurus Full Moon, the Moon is in the opposite sign of Scorpio in the lunar constellation Visakha. The Taurus Full Moon is therefore also called the Vaisakh or Wesak Full Moon. Since time immemorial, it has been celebrated in the Himalayas as the Vaisakh festival, and since Gautama Buddha as the festival of his enlightenment.

Every year in Aries, Sanat Kumara, the Planetary Logos, receives the Plan for the year as an impulse from higher circles. At the Vaisakh Full Moon, he passes it on via Gautama Buddha to the enlightened beings on the planet, whom we generally refer to as the Masters of Wisdom.

After intuitively receiving the annual Plan, the sages gradually send it to their disciples, who in turn transmit it to the advanced thinkers and leaders of humanity. Especially at the time of the Taurus Full Moon, we should align with it to receive a fresh dose of will energy for the work of goodwill.

The picture depicts a meditator whom I have designed with elements of an old Buddha statue. The head is imbued with the orange and golden yellow colours, from the photo of a sunrise, which extend beyond the shape of his body. They symbolise the Buddhic Plane of the Light of the Soul. Towards the top, they change to shades of blue and open up to a dark blue sphere, the Super-Soul or the Atmic Plane.

The round sphere surrounding the head in the background indicates the Vaisakh Full Moon, through which the energies are received. The meditator is focused on the Ajna centre above the eyebrows. He contemplates the energy movements in his body, represented by the fiery centre line, the Antahkarana. Energies rise up through the throat to the head, and energies are received through the head centres and transmitted downwards and into the environment.

15 Aries Paintings

Tuesday, March 12th, 2024

In the zodiacal cycle of the year, Aries represents noon and is considered the most radiant and enlightened sign. Aries represents the upper part of the human head. The head centre in turn is the most radiant centre, corresponding planetarily to Shamballa, the centre “where the will of God is known”.
Aries is associated with the 1st Ray of Will, which is embodied by Moses, the Lawgiver. Moses is depicted with two horns or rays on his head. They symbolise the dawning of the light of the law in man through the centre of the head.

Aries – The Impulse of the Divine Will

Sunday, March 10th, 2024

The fire sign Aries is associated with the energies of Will. The Aries glyph symbolises the strength and power of Aries just like the ram it represents. Aries is the impulse or birthplace of true ideas that unfold into activity. In Vedic wisdom, Rudra is the lord of Will and Fire. It is the Will that leads creation from seeming nothingness to manifestation. Rudra is usually referred to as Shiva and on the supra-cosmic level as Agni, the deva of fire. Shiva means the auspicious one who bestows bliss.

Rudra is peaceful, blissful and embodies calmness. People with a calm, balanced attitude can express power in a much stronger way than the seemingly powerful. The Will both builds as well as destroys. With the power of will and the appropriate fire, the Lord can remove obstacles such as pride and egoism of the personality and thus bring out the hidden light of the soul.

The colour of Rudra is pure red, which represents Divine Will. The will of Rudra can be invoked by meditating on the red colour of the sky during the morning hours. However, only advanced students can work with red; all others are advised to contemplate the softer colour variations of orange or pink.

The image is an expression of the energies of will with the hues of fire. From beyond the upper edge of the picture and from higher circles, the impulse precipitates down and appears in the form of the Aries glyph. From there, a fiery stream flows downwards.

The head in the centre of the picture was created using a photo of a Shiva statue. The statue shows an inward-facing expression with a peaceful, blissful smile. I surrounded the head with blazing fire, through which a leaping ram is rushing forth. The image of the ram comes from a fresco in the Palazzo Schifanoia in Ferrara, Italy, created by Francesco del Cossa between 1468 and 1470. It has been digitally restored and integrated into the flaming tones of the painting.
