Last Tuesday, a registered parcel from India arrived which I was waiting for: 5 copies of the new book of Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar on “The Seven Waves of Life. The Path of Human Evolution“, sent by Aquarius Bookhouse Visakhapatnam. I eagerly unpacked the parcel and finally held the printed book in hand – a very significant moment which I had waited for since long.

In January 2005, there was a very special group living in Visakhapatnam. The topic of the teachings was “The Seven Races” – an introduction into “Anthropogenesis”, the second volume of H.P. Blavatsky’s (1831 – 1891) masterpiece “The Secret Doctrine“. She presented certain ideas that no others had presented before. Her description of chains, globes, rounds and root races and also the states of planet earth in relation to every race is profound and complex. Master Kumar gave a synthetic introduction into the topic of the seven races. He started his teachings with the words:

“We shall start learning together our own story as we arrived here, how we developed our bodies to be what we are now, how we have lost our identities in the process, and the way to regain such identities. We get into the root of our own being. You will need to read these teachings again and again to assimilate what has been said because it would relate to us, to our most ancient past as we all have been the players through all these waves of humanity. Do not think they are all foreign to us. This is all our story only.”

It was a fantastic seminar – for those who had some knowledge of Blavatsky’s teachings. Others had difficulties with the terms and concepts. I wrote plenty of notes and was profoundly impressed. Thoughts came often back to these fundamental teachings and the encounters with group members there. Now in book form, the teachings are a good read and well digestible, if you are interested to know more about the times of Lemuria, Atlantis and the development of our own past.

Years passed by. When in 2017 Vijay, and Indian friend started to transcribe the seminar, we studied it in the online study group. He finished it in 2018 – a year where I had to pass about two months in hospital and rehabilitation. I used the time for proof-reading and structuring the text for a publication. Already before, I discussed with friends that Blavatsky’s terminology of races, root races or sub-races might be disputed in today’s understanding: In much of today’s world, the word race is much disputed and used with regard to skin colour and ethnic origins. It evokes ideas of racism which was not there in Secret Doctrine. The original definition of the words “root race” has to do with the beginning of a whole wave of evolution. So we searched for another term and asked the Master if race could be replaced by “waves” – human waves, or just humanity. He agreed – and he even had used the term “wave” in an earlier publication.

Proof-reading by several group members and working on the publication, giving of footnotes to sources used, adding images etc. took time. The book was finally published now in 2021 (PDF).

A digital version is very fine, but it is like talking to friends only digitally. For studying spiritual books, I always use paper versions. I wanted to have the book physically, on paper. It took time – for some months, there were difficulties to send parcels to Europe via post due to the pandemia. But now it worked. The books I received will go to people involved in the translation and publication work, just one will stay with me. If you would like to order one, you can do so via Aquarius Bookhouse Visakhapatnam. In the States, you might find it also via Amazon – a friend got some copies shipped from India to distribute them there.

But be aware, it is not a “mass production” with the related global distribution – there is a lot of selfless work behind to make the book available to sincere seekers, especially also the dispatch. Maybe order some books at a time, for some friends, or also some other books which you might be interested in.

I was touched about the way the parcel was sewn into linen and packed inside for the long journey. A precious gift. But don’t mistake having it electronically on your computer or even in paper form on the bookshelf without having integrated the content. It needs patient inner work.

I never met Master EK physically. However, his call reached me already in the early 80s of the last century and it increased over the years. A retrospect.

I first heard of Master EK around 1981/82 through Rudolf M., a mysterious individual, who deeply influenced my spiritual path directly or indirectly over several decades – a story about which I haven’t blogged yet, being very strange. I only mentioned him once anonymously in a blogpost on “Birthday of H.B.P. – An Way into the Secret Doctrine.” It is another story, though deeply linked with my further contacts over 20 years to Master EK.

In the beginning of the 80s, Rudolf gave me several hectographed texts of a still unpublished book, the “Vishnu Purana” by a certain Dr. E. Krishnamacharya (Master EK). Rudolf didn’t mention where he had the papers from. I later came to know that they were from the IPS in Geneva, with which I later was loosely related for a number of years. In the foreword of a later publication of the book, it says: “It all started in 1981, when we asked Dr. Krishnamacharya to give a seminar on the Yoga of Patanjali at the IPS headquarters in Geneva… The articles on the Vishnu Purana were published for the first time in ‘My Light’, the magazine of the World Teacher Trust in India. Dr. Krishnamacharya authorised the IPS to reproduce these articles and helped edit them for the Western mentality. This work was discontinued some years after he passed away, so that only 53 chapters are now available through the IPS, either on paper or through the internet….”

Although I was with an Indian teacher for 8 years and even became a meditation teacher and more, I could not understand the texts and put them into a box in the basement. But somehow the seed of interest was sown.

Rudolf found my then spiritual teacher a fake and told me, probably in 1981, that a real Indian teacher would come and give classes on Spiritual Astrology in Munich, this Dr. Krishnamacharya. I should go there. I said no – I didn’t want to change gurus nor leave my then teacher.
But one year later, summer 82, I left the teacher and his movement and, a little later, also cut the contact with Rudolf for 5 years.

The meetings and the breach with Rudolf happened in my old home town in Germany. In 86, I moved to Switzerland and in 87, I wanted to present this mysterious man to my then girlfriend, my later wife. During the visit, he gave me a booklet with “a very powerful initiation mantram”, the “Mystic Mantrams” booklet (PDF) of Master EK. I was impressed. During about 2 years, I regularly meditated these mantrams every evening.

In autumn 1988, Johannes Weder, a mid-octogenarian theosophist, visited us in our then home in Switzerland. He had heard that we were in contact with Daskalos, the “Magus of Strovolos”, Dr. Stylianos Atteshlis (1912 – 1995) in Cyprus and wanted to know more about him. My mother-in-law had sent a friend to Cyprus to search for Daskalos, and then we went 4 times to Cyprus visiting him (another untold story).

We had a profound exchange with Johannes and he invited us to come to his home in Rodgau near Frankfurt, Germany. He had a huge library with many theosophical books, and, before he might pass over, he offered that I could chose the books I was interested in. We visited him in summer 1989 – and when we left, we had two big banana boxes with treasures of rare old theosophical books and also all the books of Master EK published until then, and further all the manuscripts of Albert Sassi, whom Master EK had met several times in the Nilagiris.

First, these books slept in the banana boxes. I went through them but it was much too much for me to read.

In summer 1990, Rudolf M. settled in Switzerland and initiated the Agni School (dissolved since over 15 years), which I joined for 10 years, from January 1991 on. It must have been beginning of 1992 that Rudolf asked me to translate for the group a longer text which he had written himself, as he said. When I started translating, I felt, I had seen the text before …. in one of the two boxes in the basement. I searched and found it – “Music of the Soul“, by Master EK.
I was much confused and confronted Rudolf, whom we started regarding as a Master, with my finding. He said, “You don’t understand anything.”

I felt shy and intimidated. I now continued translating with this book and when ready, I gave it to the Agni group. Over the next 8 years, until I left, I continued translating other texts of Master EK for the group, about 16 books and booklets, nearly all not published. But the work helped me to go deep, and I thus dived deep into his teachings. The German translations became a great treasure shared on request.
I came to know more about the World Teacher Trust, but members of the Agni School were told not to contact members of other groups, except when we, as a group, contacted the groups. Otherwise, it was considered spiritual treachery.

So I was very much with Master EK but without any contacts to members of the World Teacher Trust. This changed in August 1997, when the Agni School group met with Master Kumar and other members of the World Teacher Trust at a seminar in Germany. From then on, slowly an opening started – it lead to my leaving the Agni School in April 2000, my joining the World Teacher Trust and starting the Circle of Good Will.

I met many people who had met Master EK and told me about their experiences. My inner contact with Master EK kept growing deeper. I started studying all his books, bringing them from India and distributing them for free to seekers. It went again much deeper when online study groups started from 2015 on where we read his books in English and in German.

Yesterday, a German group member told me “A few years ago, with the approval of the Master (KPK), I started a project called ‘My Way to the Trust’. I interviewed people and recorded it at the same time… Since many people didn’t want, I stopped it.” This gave me the impulse to tell this story, on the occasion of Master EK’s 95th birthday (Western counting: 1926 – 1984) on 11 August 2021.

Celebrating the birthdays of the Great Ones always gives a good opportunity to reflect about their life, their work and their teachings. This strengthens our resolve to follow the Path and we can experience the Presence which expressed through them.

Master EK (Ekkirala Krishnamacharya) was born on 11 August 1926 during the evening hours at about 5:30 pm. Around 11 hours after Master EK’s birth but 95 years earlier, Madam Blavatsky was born on 12 August 1831. So we commemorate their birthdays together.

Below you find a short extract from Master KPK’s (K. Parvathi Kumar) talk at the “Master EK’s Birthday Celebration 2020” and some words from Master Kumar’s talk at the “Madam HPB’s Birthday Celebrations 2020” as well as two photos of these great Messengers of Light.

“In one of his poems, Master EK expresses to the Divine ‘I surrender my life at your feet. Please forgive me for any mistakes that I have committed out of ignorance. I believe that everything happens as per your will’.

Madam HPB also lived in the same manner with complete surrender to the Divine. She put everything in the Divine account. She was instructed by her Master to scold HS Olcott, the founder president of Theosophical Society, for no reason. She was given no reason except that she was told to scold him. She used to do so just by having faith in her Master’s word. Master EK also used to scold some people a lot sometimes and we used to find no proper reason. We realise later that the scolding neutralized karma of that person and he progressed in life in a much better way. Master EK saw such acts as the Divine working through him to put his children in the right direction. Therefore, he never worried of the consequences as he was acting completely under the Divine instructions.

Master EK never changed himself for the sake of others. He always lived in the same manner irrespective of who he met. He was there to show us the way and not to please us or do things as we like. He never played for the disciples or audience. He never did anything special to show to the world that he is a Master.

Master EK was always available to the needy, at any hour of the day. He never thought of rest. He used to tell that the Divine never sleeps and that the Divine would question him if he does not respond to someone in need. He never planned to sleep and he hardly used to sleep for few hours a day. In a poem, Master EK requests the Divine, ‘Please allow me to serve you at all times. Please grant me a state where I forget myself and only remember you.’ That is how Master EK forgot himself in service to others.”

“On occasions like this, we should recollect some of her teachings and writings so that we get inspired to read and understand more. It helps us come out of the ignorance and superstitions that we might have. Remember that we cannot walk the path shown by Master of Wisdom if our mind is filled with superstitions. Madam HPB writes, ‘Keep away your superstitions and put yourself to experiment’. If we start reading books of Madam HPB after recollecting her, she herself will show us the way to understand the book. We need to establish an alignment with her to be able to understand her books. This applies to the books of every Master of Wisdom. I started reading her books with Isis Unveiled and it took almost 3 years to complete that book. After that I read Secret Doctrine which also took many years to complete.

As aspirants, we should make it a point to read at least one page of wisdom coming from Madam HPB and Master EK. It expands our consciousness and our awareness increases. The same books can be read again and again because such books reveal themselves as our awareness grows.”

Very often I get questions from spiritual seekers wanting to know something. I like the interactions, especially when I can help people this way. However, there is a danger. Some people tend to behave like little children wanting to be spoon-fed instead of learning how to find answers. There is a proverb saying, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.”

Sometimes, the questions relate to details of the wisdom teachings, sometimes to doubts, sometimes it is curiosity resulting out of a very active mind (for these, there is no end of asking until the interest goes somewhere else). Often, the questioners are group members who do not find the e-mails they have received from the internal mailing list of WTT which I am operating.

This morning, I received the question from a friend: “How long is the Aquarian age to last? Where is the info about this and Master CVV goals for Aquarian age? 240 years ? 100 is already done ? Starting count from 1912.”

Quite a lot of questions in a short WhatsApp post (and good answering takes much more time than quickly asking). So instead of searching the answer on my PC, which I normally do, I better show here how to find.

Some people think that I know everything they ask for, and some started calling me “Ludgerpedia”. That is a wrong impression. I just have learnt how to search and I do this myself on many occasions. I have started this blog also to find things myself which I have written about. It has a very good search engine which you find at the top left, and I often use it myself. There are currently 1,582 posts.

For my own research I have collected over decades big quantities of book PDFs (mostly converted for better search into Word files; I bought for this the “Abbyy Finereader”.), seminar transcriptions (many of them I did myself because otherwise I quickly forget what has been taught there – and why should I always only forget after taking much effort to go to the seminars?) and other material. With these I have composed newsletters, esp. “Lunar Messengers” since 22 years – you find all topics on the good-will website or on the WTT website. There, easily searchable in full text. The search engine on that site is also powerful, you find it at the top left of nearly all pages. Together with friends, I have worked on this website for many years, to allow seekers to find a great treasure of wisdom teachings, especially with the books of Master EK and Master KPK, most of them available for free download in the download areas.

Coming to the questions of my friend: When you search on the WTT website “Aquarian Age“, you find many results. But at the very top of the page, you find “The Aquarian Age” (in various languages). If you click on this, you come to a page “The Aquarian Age“. You find the same text as PDF on the Good-Will website, download section.

In the beginning of this text, you find the explanation for all the questions my friend has asked for. For some details of the questions you need to read the text until the end.

A friend sent me the following pictures about “identifying some of the places in the Himalayas (in Kullu valley and Lahaul) portrayed in some of in Nicholas Roerich’s paintings. It touched me very much to see the paintings together with the real physical places. Since decades Roerich has impregnated me and I have blogged about him and his paintings a number of times. I tried to trace the source of these pictures on the web to give reference but could not find – so they might be copyrighted. Just enjoy.

The 8th May is celebrated as ‘White Lotus Day’, in remembrance of Helena P. Blavatsky (1831-1891), who passed over on this day in the year 1891 – 130 years ago. Madam Blavatsky is regarded as the white lotus that unfolds afresh the beauty and fragrance of new age wisdom. She synthesized the universal wisdom and presented afresh Cosmogenesis and Anthropogenesis, explaining skilfully the story of man on earth. In all she did, she dedicated entirely her life to the noble work of the Hierarchy.

In the book “Symbolism of the Scriptures”, Overseas Messages 9, Master EK explains the symbol of the white lotus and gives a beautiful visuation:

The Goddess of Wisdom, Saraswathi, “is the Goddess who conveys knowledge through the living beings. She is described as seated in a milk white lotus. So, to those who have studied the Indian scriptures, the milk white lotus is a very sacred symbol. It is a symbol of wisdom and the joy that is felt through wisdom. A meditation of the milk white lotus in mind purifies all the mental vehicles within a short period. If you are lucky, within a shortest period, this is three years according to the Masters. The meditation of the white lotus opens up the gates in your personality, so that your Master makes a contact with you. You cannot make a contact with your Master.
Master does not mean any name we think of, which means someone who knows us, whom we do not know. If we think that we know our Master, he is only our idea but not our Master. So, the fact is the Master knows us. We never know who the Master is. That is how it is described in the scriptures. But a meditation of the white lotus daily for a few minutes opens up the gates of your personality that are working as barriers between you and your Master in the form of your belief and your own valuable concepts which you are not ready to part with. So, it is a healing from self-conditioning that we get by meditating upon this white lotus. To make us meditate upon the white lotus while reading the scriptures they have described the Goddess of Wisdom sitting in a white lotus.”

May we remember her HPB’s life and work to also devote our lives to the work for the Divine Plan.

A Russian drama documentary made for Russian Television in 1991 about Helena Petrovna Blavatsky

In the 90s, I wrote a short biography about Blavatsky and sent it to a German documentary film maker proposing to do a documentary – he did not react.
I did not know that in Russia such a documentary had already been done. For the May Call 2005 celebration in Delphi, Greece, I got the text printed and distributed in 4 languages. Here it is in html and PDF version: “H.P.B. – Trailblazer for the Aquarian Age”

There was a pause in the exchange with my friend from the Pacific coast of South America (see the previous blog-posts). Then came an e-mail which touched me very much. It is a bit long but a beautiful example of inner guidance in a situation of danger. In the text I give her interjections in [brackets].
Like in the previous blog-posts, the first two photos are from South America – the following pictures are spring impressions from morning walks through our Swiss neighbourhood and not related to the content.

She: “I’m happy to have the opportunity to write to you again. You may ask yourself why I didn’t write any more. Something very strange happened to me one month ago and I’m still trying to find the real sense of that experience.

In one of my emails I said that some time ago I have been in a kind of ‘looking inside’ and I found the book ‘Jupiter‘ in WTT, as well as Pythagoras and other books from great masters. So, I tried to absorb and implement the teachings in my life. I moved to a flat far from my family (I don’t have neither husband nor children, I solve my life working in the field of information security).

Well, some day I had a dream (my father died last year from a heart attack) and he was dressed in a pure white and he told me, “Now I’m ready to help you!!” I answered… “Dad but no one will see you….” And he replied… “Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter”… That day I just woke up confused and I said… What? – And then…

To make a long story short… Some people who lived close to where I lived got confused, they thought I was another kind of person and those people were surprised and estranged that I did things like getting up early, meditate, going to the beach and say hello to the sea and fishes, walk, doing exercise, talk to the moon and things like that. (Actually they thought I was like an undercover police officer).

I was relaxed because I have been living alone for years but they were like suspecting that I was another person and you won’t believe me… I was one millimeter to death. They damaged my lock, jumped from the floor. Also they came to my house – without my permission – with the help of a person who cleaned there once a week.

I was able to escape because something strange happened … I felt like someone putting thoughts in my mind, like telling me do this and do that, take this taxi, change this way…. things like that…. I had to leave all my stuff in that place. I only could take with me just a little bag that day…
Finally, I travelled from one city to another but the way was full of people so they could do nothing but they crossed a van on the road with a very bad threat on its back. That’s why I had a kind of shock and I also was in a kind of quarantine because I was scared. But now I’m safe fortunately.
I can tell you that I’m aware of violence and war here in my country, but now I’m even more conscious and surprised about that.

During this time many thoughts came into my mind… Why now that I’m trying to do the best I can? Why me if I don’t do anything bad to people? … I don’t even want to damage animals, that’s why I’m trying not to eat them… Why now that I’m trying to be conscious of being grateful with God and the universe?…

I told you a summary of what happened in that time but I really can tell you that it is a miracle that I’m alive… So it’s not enough to be a ‘good person’ to be protected… as I see enlightened beings protected me and helped. But I think that it is not enough to be like ‘good’ (if I can deserve to say that)… but one has to pray for protection even if one thinks that one doesn’t deserve a bad thing… It is like you don’t have guaranteed protection… Beings can be ready to help you but if you pray then you give them a kind of ‘Go ahead’…

I don’t really know how to explain this but it’s like… spiritual beings can do marvellous things in your life but you still have free will. I realised that every single little thing happened because great and big forces (not just physical but spiritual) move the universe and, as a consequence, our hearts… not because something manipulates them but because we are a part of everything.

Finally, I want to tell you that I’m aware to be a volunteer is a process, and I’m aware that it is something for which there is no material retribution, and also I know that maybe my help is not useful now because I don’t have the knowledge that you may need for me to help. I just want to say that I’m here, whatever I be or whatsoever I know if I can help, I am here.”

Me: “Sorry for replying late – it’s not my usual way of replying but there was (is) a big wave of activities around. [Don’t worry, I understand 🙂 ] Thank you very, very, very much for your lines, sharing with me your profound experience. And most happy that you survived. [Thanks 🙂 ]

This is a clear sign of guidance from the spiritual world, maybe with the help of your father he promised to give, in the dream. Before already, in your childhood, you got into contact with the wisdom through the books in the house of your parents, but more so from the realm of the Initiates and Masters of Wisdom. Not having to boast about anything, but you had already resolved before to join into the work, in one way or the other. [Thanks 🙂 I’m grateful for it.]

It is very right that the Hierarchy does not interfere with free will, and that you have to permit them, again and again. The last Lunar Messenger ended with the words:

‘Within the higher octave of love of the Second Ray there is free will and the Masters of Wisdom respect the free will of humanity. They allow as much freedom as each soul wants. They are willing to help, but only when help is asked for. They do not impose their help. Unsolicited help is aggression. Often they say, “We can’t help you even if we want to help because you haven’t ask for our help at the right moment.” When there is a crisis or a calamity, we can drown in our crisis and if we don’t ask for help, no connection is made and the Hierarchy cannot reach us. The Masters are bound by the law of love; this love respects the free will. We may think, ‘What are the Masters doing anyway?’ They have to smile and wait to be asked. So, they wait and wish us well. That is one thing we should deeply ponder about. We can pray from the heart, with the heart.’ [Uff!…Now many things make sense! ]

So you might inwardly ask them about joining with the work at hand developing here, in the context of World Teacher Trust. From my side, I am sure that we will find a way to include you in the work, though as per your skills (information technology) it might need a little time. I would feel honoured if we can build / strengthen the bridge of light with you / this way with Colombia. [And it will be a honour for me to collaborate in build that bridge.]

In case, would you allow me to mention what you wrote? [Yes, absolutely, feel free because in my lines there are no details of these people or places, so it is safe to share.]”

The exchange with the new friend from the Pacific coast of South America which started Mid-January went on for a time in an intense dialogue. This was partly with insertions in previous e-mails, partly with personal aspects that I will omit here. Here are some extracts, my comments partly being from insertions into what she had written before.

And again the first two photos are from South America – the following pictures are from the spring equinox meeting at the Paracelsus Center near Einsiedeln, Switzerland.

She: “I have seen the part you wrote about meditations and morning and evening prayer, but I would like to include all this in my days like something regular and not just a random day like I did before…”

Me: “This is very important and the basis for all progress. Only when you have reached a certain stability, you can slowly grow in becoming useful for the Plan.”

She: “I know what I’m trying to do or what I have read is not even the 1% of what I need to know and practice but like you said, ‘It’s something that grows with the time’…”

Me: “Yes, Master Morya says, ‘Make haste slowly’. The basis of all the activity is the alignment with the energies which we connect with morning and evening prayer / meditation. In case you are interested to know more, let me know.”

She: “I’m interested indeed…. I tried to collaborate with xx and yy last year but they didn’t admit me because ….”

Me: “When some doors do not open, something else is waiting for you. As per orientation and spiritual path, feel free to ask any questions you would like to. I will respond to what you are seeking, and little to what I think.”

She: “These days I’m trying to put order in my life… doing some exercise every day, reading spiritual books every day, going to bed at the same time, trying to respect my time and paying attention to my thoughts… This sounds like a few words but it takes a lot of effort because matter is very dense and has a lot of inertia.”

Me: “You are absolutely right, it is described as ‘hammering the rock’ of our personality – to carve out the beautiful form of the vehicle of the soul. It takes time. And most important is to have an attitude of seeing where one can be of help for the surroundings. This is the basis of any spiritual work, building up a rhythm and following, without ‘feeling’ that ‘I have to follow it’ – just doing it naturally.”

She: “My parents baptized me as catholic but my father always mentioned as a saying ‘The high enlightened beings exist in other planes’ so even if my parents hid their books I always found them so I have read spiritual books since I was 13…”

Me: “You have incarnated at a worthy place! I also was brought up in a very catholic family in Northern Germany, feeling in my youth that I did not find satisfying explanations for life and my spiritual search there.”

She: “Even if I have studied some spiritual fields I just took it as theory but without practice. … Since the last year I have been feeling the sensation of doing the combination of reading and experiencing the spiritual field, otherwise this incarnation might be a waste of time….”

Me: “Again, a most essential realisation – and when it is a call to practice, it is like an awakening – only things we put into practice become part of us. My spiritual journey started early but it was a ‘long and winding road’. …

As per feeling fulfilled, it will come through the alignment with and dedication to Hierarchy and accepting what life offers as needed commitment. This might be, for you also, a ‘seeming divide’ between spirituality work, a (future?) family, job, friends…. In synthesis, there is no such divide. Master CVV – from where the WTT teachings are inspired – says that “My way is living 200%” – he was a mayor of a South Indian city and a great occultist. For me, reading his biography, by Master KPK, was like a thunderclap. Also the biography of Master EK, the teacher of Master KPK.

If you want to collaborate, please let me know your skills, interests, maybe something about your (spiritual) background. And if it becomes concrete, I would need to know availability, endurance, observing the quality of work.”

She: “Well, to answer I will do a mixture of my professional and spiritual experience. (I know professional experience its not necessary but I will mention it just to explain more about my life)….”

Me: “The professional part is as important as any other part. Spirituality is nothing ‘aside’ of the rest of our life; we need to stand firmly in some activity, which is a means for livelihood and for expressing ourselves into a service to society. This is more a question of attitude than of doing anything big….

Your selection of profession has to do with your energy setup and ‘dharma’ / duty. It is very good to continue in this direction as per main professional orientation. Master Kumar became a chartered accountant, and developed a big enterprise on Indian top level performance and reach – while his main focus remained with meditation and wisdom teaching, without neglecting family and social responsibilities. He is a great role model for me and it helped me while in the past I had to balance with family, job and service activities in the spiritual domain.
So for the spiritual path it is very good and important to have a firm stand with an activity in the physical – and thus being financially independent. All really hierarchical activities / in tune with the Plan, are free volunteer activities.”

A day before spring equinox in the northern hemisphere, a radiant morning sun shed its light through the narrow opening between houses into my study and meditation room. The azalea in the flower pot started to shine and also the St.-Germain picture in the background.

On the balcony, the OM sparkled in the shrub, while in the background the morning sun drew contours on the snow-covered mountains.

An Easter egg beamed on the bush in the garden next to the kindergarten around the corner.

And beyond the field path, a shrub was raising its pink blossoms against the dark blue morning sky.

Nine days ago, there was the first spring day with clear blue sky. A week before it was ice cold and snow on the fields. Now the temperature had jumped up. We went out for a walk around Schlosswil, a little village in the surroundings with a castle from the 13th and 16th century. Here are some impressions for you to enjoy.

On the website of the castle it says that there are almost 400 paintings distributed throughout the castle. The apartment corridor is decorated with a cow picture gallery (18th/19th c.) with 31 paintings.
