13 October, Cecilia González and Eva Soto of the Anima team had a conversation with me about “Paintings of Roerich”. We go in a deep understanding of four paintings chosen by me. The conversation about Nicholas Roerich in general and about the painting “The Messenger” has been published as Part 1 on YouTube on Friday 20 October 2023.

Part 2 contains our conversation about the paintings “Chintamani”, “The Mother of the World” and “Order of Rigden Jyepo” (a name of Sanat Kumara). Part 2 was published by Anima Channel today, 3 November 2023. I just uploaded Part 1 and Part 2 also on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@ludgerphilips.

Blogpost about sport, art and religion

At the moment, the attention of media and of millions of people is focused on Qatar and the FIFA World Cup. Without a particular interest in football, I therefore have also followed this global phenomenon a little. In meditation this morning I remembered that I had read an article a week ago:

In “Das Magazin“, a weekend supplement of our regional Swiss newspaper, a writer made fun of an installation by the Berlin-based world-class Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Elisasson, who had realised circular mirrors in the Qatar desert. The writer found it “completely ballaballa”, meaning crazy. It somehow caught my attention: In a video presentation about my paintings (Creativity and Originality), I mentioned Elíasson and his work.

I found it interesting: In the past, art and religion have been closely associated. Religion and art have much changed their roles and both have become much more mundane in most of their expressions. For millions of people sport has taken over the role of religion:

Quasi-religious fervour of ascetic aspiration in a hatha-yogic style drives athletes’ and sportsmen’s /sportswomen’s devotion to extreme efforts in their training to strive for their very highest. And huge crowds of people gather in the cathedrals and temples of sport for their quasi-religious devotional celebrations – at the moment, in Qatar’s soccer arenas. There are also very many sects and beliefs among the followers. A gigantic effort was made to hold the big celebrations in a desert state. Many discuss the sense and nonsense of such events. Some avoid them, others travel there to participate.

When Eliásson now says in his artistic and context statements that “There is no artistic connection between my sculpture and the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022”, this might be his intention and understanding but the exhibition is financed and organized by the state of Qatar and the opening of the exhibition coincides with the FIFA World Cup – “honni soit qui mal y pense“.

Here are the photos of the circular mirror installations in the desert, reminiscent of the ball religion celebrated nearby in football stadiums. The ball, the sphere, the circle are deeply occult symbols of the world, of creation. May the world’s attention go beyond the mundane levels to understand and practise the deeper spiritual aspiration to the highest and thus gain the experience of bliss, mundanely aspired by sport.

The Anima Channel team asked me for an interview about the Paracelsus Center in Einsiedeln, Switzerland, with which I am involved since 1999. And with Anima since the start in August 2020. They wanted to know more about the place of the Paracelsus House and how a group of people is keeping it alive and vibrant.

They had visited the place end of May and done some videos about Paracelsus in English and in Spanish The interview was on 13 July, Cancer full moon morning. The video was published today.

More about the Paracelsus Center and the Paracelsus Magazine here.

The 1st of May is celebrated as the birthday of Count Saint Germain, also called Master CSG. For this occasion, a team from WTT Spain has realised a beautiful video (16 min) with international support. It has also been prepared in Spanish.

The video presents facets of the biography of the Master, based on the book “Master CSG” by Master KPK (Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar). It highlights the activity of the Master in the field of ritualism that is conducted through the ritualistic temples all over the globe. Master CSG works largely through esoteric ritual and ceremonial magic, being vitally interested in the effects, hitherto unrecognized, of the ceremonial order of the Freemasons, of various fraternities and of churches everywhere. Here is the English PDF of the book. It also exists in German and in Spanish.

Count St. Germain is also called the Master of the Seventh Ray, the Violet Flame. The book “Violet Flame Invocations” (PDF) by Sri Kumar gives profound insights into this sublime energy.

The French and German versions of my new video just went online, the English version was done a few days ago: “Wisdom Teachings: Continuity of Consciousness” is from the series done on the basis of texts from the Lunar Messenger. The text is also available in html-form on the WTT website.

About the content:

Those who have once had an out-of-body experience are no longer afraid of death because they know that they will not die when they leave the body. The mundane identity is always mortal, whereas the supra-mundane identity as soul is immortal. The soul is the ‘solar principle’. As solar principles we continue to exist, and we take on bodies again and again, life after life. The continuity of identity is maintained. To acquire this knowledge, we were born with a physical body on earth…

My elder brother Winfried gave me access to his archives of fantastic pics he took while he still could do bicycle tours – he went into the solitudes of Scandinavia and other countries. I used some of his pics for the video, besides finds from my own huge photo archives.

The video was done, like the last ones, with a layout developed for the Friends of the World Teacher Trust, and it was also published on the Friends of WTT YouTube channel.

I started arranging some texts of the Lunar Messenger as video presentations. Here is the latest video on “Sleep and Turiya”.

You know what sleep is – or at least you think you know. However, we are not aware when we are sleeping, so we don’t really know it. At the transition from wakefulness to sleep or vice versa, we pass a threshold that separates both states.

The wisdom teachings emphasize the importance of remembering this point. At this moment, we experience the original state of consciousness and life. It is also called Turiya in Sanskrit, meaning the 4th – the 4th state of consciousness besides waking, sleep and dream states. The new video explains more about it.

There is a new YouTube channel for “Friends of World Teacher Trust”, https://friends.wtt-global.org. It is a platform where people who feel related to the WTT can communicate and teach the essential wisdom teachings of the WTT coming from Master CVV, Master EK and Master KPK. The idea behind: to welcome people who relate to World Teacher Trust teachings and would also like to teach to friends, relatives and like-minded persons.

So, I publish my new videos there, also in German and French.

Together with international cooperation, the WTT Spain brotherhood prepared a beautiful video on “Healing Prayer” in 4 languages.
The video was given to Master Kumar with much love for his birthday on 7 November.

Here is the text of the Healing Prayer:

Let us form the Circle of Planetary Healers.

Let the Chief Life descend and penetrate.

Let Merry Life preside over and function.

Let Healing happen at all levels.

Let mineral, plant, animal and

Human be Healed and Harmonised.

May the Angels cooperate

And fulfill the plan of Healers upon Earth.

Master KPK

When working on the video presentation on “Creativity and Originality“, a friend gave some help. He showed me how to do the recording on my PC. Thus, I realise the French version as well. I learnt a bit about doing video presentations. So, the idea came to realise the text of the Lunar Messenger Libra 2021 on “Symbolism 7 – The Eagle” as a video, using some of my paintings as illustrations.

And when the English version was ready, a German and a French version followed 🙂 A Spanish version was beyond the scope of my language skills or of knowing friends who could do it…

However, I saw that it is a good way to bring thoughts from the teachings of eternal wisdom into another format – as an inspiration to put them into practice. I need to see in the next weeks how much time remains for continuing such work myself…

I didn’t want to publish them on my YouTube account – since we are working on creating the framework for “Friends of the World Teacher Trust“, a new YouTube channel came about.

[Correction:] A friend just sent me the link to a video of Factly, an India fact checking site explaining that the video is not from the Olympic Games 2021 but from a visit of the Indian Prime Minister Modi in Mongolia in 2015. It is not from Olympic Games in Japan, so I changed the title of this blogpost . The video as such is authentic, the explanation not. It is nevertheless inspiring. So I keep sharing it.

A friend today shared a video from the opening celebration of the [wrong: Olympic Games 2021 in Tokyo]: A large group is performing Yoga Asanas in artistic arrangement, while “OM Maitrey Namaha” is being sung.

Very nice that this is being performed at such a major event, which is currently the focus of attention worldwide. May this be an example for other occasions and other countries.
