Picture to the month of Leo

When many people come together in a joint spiritual alignment, a field builds up as a vessel into which high energies can flow and manifest in this way. Even though individuals may not realise it, this raises the consciousness of all, and there is also a strong impulse into the larger collective consciousness. Such an influx of energy is much greater than is possible for individuals. This field of consciousness is not limited to a time of meditation, but is also expressed in being together and, even more profoundly, in greater co-operation.

In ancient times in the East, sages and their disciples would come together for long periods of meditation, ritual and sharing of wisdom teachings. In modern times, people meet for group livings with a spiritual orientation. They are often brought together by a teacher, but also through the power of collective group action.

In the centre of the picture you can see the influx of energy in both a vertical and horizontal direction, represented by the reflection of sunlight in camera shots. The ray of light begins at the cosmic level and anchors in the physical level. The upper background shows the petals of a lotus flower, a symbol of the unfoldment of consciousness. The power of group inspiration is depicted in the lower half.

For the design of the lower half, I combined elements from three photos of different group livings. In the foreground you can see the scene of a discussion group at the 100th May Call celebration in Switzerland in 2009. For the background, I used a photo of a group life in northern Germany in 2015.

Next Sunday, there is the second full moon of Cancer. This full moon is celebrated as the full moon of the teacher (Guru Poornima) and it is dedicated to the great Master of Wisdom Vedavyasa. Vedavyasa is the teacher who arranged the Vedic wisdom into 18 Puranas, and he gave the great epic poem Mahabharata with the Bhagavad Geeta as well as the Bhagavatam.
It is said that he has ascended to higher planes but gives his presence at this full moon.
Here you can find the “Invocation of the Hierarchy of Teachers“

Master KPK used to give Guru Poornima messages – here is a collection of these messages given by the Master from 2007 – 2022 at Bhagyanagaram / Hyderabad.
This is the Guru Poornima Message 2011:

Your Teacher is in you. This is the truth.

You will find your Teacher depending upon the degree of sincerity with which you aspire to follow the Light, to follow the Truth.

As far as possible, apply whatever little knowledge that you already hold, in your daily life.

Be truthful to yourself. Be sincere in what you do. Be intent-full. Be playful in your pleasure time.

Do not submit yourself to too many rules and regulations. Your sincere aspiration leads you to a guide, a teacher in the outer world. If he is a true Teacher, he leads you to the Teacher in you, who awaits you in your heart. He shows you the way to find your Teacher in your heart.

He may let you initially to depend upon him, but he would not let you to be his dependent for all times to come.

A true teacher leads the true aspirant to the One Teacher who is in the heart of one’s own being. He gives the technique and also gives certain tips to establish contact with the Teacher in you. The purpose of a true teacher is to lead you to the Teacher in you, who leads you further to the Truth in you.

You will realise in due course that, verily the Truth, the Teacher and you are but one and the same. Be sincere in your approach and wait with patience.

Alignment to the cardinal points of the year by celebrating equinoxes and solstices, is of great spiritual importance, to recollect our purpose, thereby recharge ourselves and move forward on the path. Summer solstice is the moment of entry of Sun into Cancer and it is good to inwardly prepare for this moment and orient the personality to the Soul.

Like in previous years, we met again to celebrate the solstice at the Paracelsus Center of WTT near Einsiedeln. We were 6 persons having come from Austria, Germany and two parts of Switzerland – long-time friends. We wanted to start with a fire ritual on the mountain ridge near the Etzel pass. The weather report had announced intense rain. When we approached, we saw heavy dark clouds hanging in the air and it was raining a bit. However, the weather map showed a little area without rain clouds approaching. We asked the devas to wait until after the fire ritual. When we arrived on the pass, the rain stopped.

We walked to the fire place, started singing the mantrams of the fire ritual, and when the flames rose, there was the presence of an uplifting energy.

As soon as the fire ritual ended, I packed the material and told the group to quickly prepare for leaving and that the time window was about to close. However they continued chatting – within 2-3 minutes, wind and rain set. We thanked the devas for having waited until the end of the fire ritual.

It rained most of the day, partly with thunder and lightning – appropriate to the beginning of Cancer, a watery sign.

At the Paracelsus Center, we prepared the room for the celebration and did a solstice alignment contemplation. I then spoke about the energies of the time and the place.

The start of the Paracelsus Center
25 years ago, on 8 June 1999, there was the start of the Paracelsus Center. (Here you find some words about the beginnings spoken during the celebration of 20 years of Paracelsus Center).
The center was started by the then Agni School (Agnischule). The group dissolved in ca. 2005. Later, I think in 2003, the WTT-Global took over running the Paracelsus Center.

You still find the website of the Agni School (it is the very first website I had created in 1999) in the Web Archives, with information about Paracelsus and the Paracelsus Center. The website of the Paracelsus Center is also still available in the Web Archives, I created it in 2000, shortly before leaving the Agni school (the background colours inside don’t show correctly).

Here are some pictures from the start of the Paracelsus Center I recently scanned. We had met with the members of the Agni School and some friends for planting two trees (which did not survive long…) at the start of renting the center. In December 1999, around the birthday of Paracelsus, there was the official inauguration of the center with Master KPK (Sri Kumar) giving a seminar on Paracelsus in Einsiedeln, and all participants coming to visit the center – with much snow outside.

At the summer solstice celebration, we did a walk in nature in the afternoon, continued with aligning to the energies of summer solstice and concluded with a Cancer full moon meditation. We were pleased to see that a month ago, on Vaisakh full moon, Guru Prasad and Ramana had visited the Paracelsus Center at the beginning of their European tour and had left some words of thanks in the guest book. As an expression of our gratitude for being able to meet in this deeply spiritual place, we also wrote some words of thanks in the book.

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac. Cancer is the dusk hours of the year and Cancer represents the home and the mother. The Sun in Cancer is said to be at home with itself. The soul finds its rest in the heart. The quality of the heart is love and belonging. It creates warm relationships. At home, in the heart, we can reflect on our life’s purpose and tune into divine intention to enable inner revelation. For the ordinary person, Cancer represents instincts, for advanced humans, intuition.

Coming from Cordoba with Ursula and Jesus, we had an overnight stay at their home in Murcia. Next morning, we drove along the coast to Denia north of Alicante, where we met the travel group with Guru Prasad and the members of Denia group for lunch at a Greek restaurant in the old town. The group has a beautiful meeting space two floors above the restaurant.

While the others were taking a nap in the early afternoon, I wanted to go back to our car to fetch my camera and to cover the windows – we had quickly left the car on a big parking at some distance and it was very hot. I did not have a mobile but thought I would find the parking. There were many little streets and somehow I took a wrong direction and lost the way. For quite some time, I searched in a large area and then decided to go back but didn’t find that way either. A young man with a mobile showed me the way back to the restaurant. When arriving, I felt dizzy from the heat. A doctor and other group members took care of me, and I spend the afternoon and evening prayer lying down. My friends went to the parking with the mobile. Then we went to the home of Alejandro and Alba from Denia group, where we spent the night and enjoyed their hospitality and some nice talks.

I slept in the room of their youngest son Tiziano, 16. I had already talked with him in Cordoba, since he was much interested in my paintings and in the subtle world. And now in his room, I met again the gnome with the baby which I had taken a photo of in Cordoba, not knowing how this gnome had come to the May Call 🙂

The next day we continued our northward journey to Blanes, a town at the Mediterranean between Barcelona and Girona. We stayed in the house of Isabel. She is offering her home to WTT group activities. 11 years ago, I had met her when I visited the Minakshi project in the Girona area; it had to close. The new house in Blanes started on 7 November 23, the birthday of Master KPK; it is in a way a continuation and a very beautiful place. We received a warm reception by Isabel, her partner and a friend, and we communicated with an automatic voice translation app German-Spanish.

In the evening, Isabel and Domenec gave us a foot reflex zones and polarity massage, and I went to bed in a state of very profound relaxation. Next morning after breakfast, we started the journey back. When we approached the border between Spain and France, we saw helicopters “standing” over the highway area and wondered why. As we came nearer, we saw many police cars.

The motorway was closed. All cars and lorries were diverted onto an ordinary road. I tried to get back to the highway at the next access – also closed. As we crossed the pass in the Pyrenees via the side road, we saw many tractors in a row on a motorway bridge. Obviously, farmers were blocking the highway and a demonstration was going on, just before the European elections. We made slow progress. It was only after crossing Perpignan and with a delay of 3 hours that we got back on the motorway and headed fast towards north.

The next day, together with part of the group, we moved to the Castillo de Maimón at the outskirts of Cordoba, the site where the May Call Day celebration was going to take place.

The name of the castle refers to Maimonides, a medieval Jewish rabbi, philosopher, astronomer and also physician of great renown, who was born and lived over years in Cordoba but later had to flee. We had seen his statue in the old Jewish quarter of Cordoba.

Inside the Castillo, there was a beautiful hall with a little fountain in the centre, where we met for some rituals.

The general group meetings, however, were in a smaller hall where the Cordoba group had arranged a beautiful altar and decorations. The group opened the May Call celebration by singing some songs with the fiery temperament of Southern Spain.

Spontaneous musical contributions were going on outside and in the evening, also with dancing. The enthusiasm caught the entire group.

There were inspiring talks by Guru Prasad and other group members, which were simultaneously translated into 3 other languages and broadcasted via Zoom. And there was also a video talk Master Kumar had given at the same place in Cordoba in 2015 – it was like seeing him live again.

The May Call Day celebration was indeed a day for reception and distribution of the Energy of Synthesis, the day of group initiation started by Master CVV in 1910 and celebrated since then.

For the fire ritual on May Call Day and the water ritual on 30 May, we gathered in the big hall. It was an intense experience of group consciousness and togetherness.

Besides the general group meetings, there were exchanges in small groups, like coordination of audiobook publishing or preparing the next year’s European May Call celebration. Above all, there were plenty of exchanges with old and friends – days of great intensity.

When we left the place in the morning of May 31st, full of joy, we suddenly saw in front of us a Jaguar having a number plate with KPK – the initials of Master KPK. We smiled about this greeting from the subtle planes.

Sunday, 26 May. The highway took us from Murcia through rugged and arid regions and slowly climbed higher and higher. We passed Granada and went over a mountain range up to 1400 meters. It was hot, but there were patches of snow on the mountains.

On the route to Cordoba, pink oleander bushes bloomed for long stretches on both sides of the road – it looked a bit like “Barbieland“. The temperature rose and the countryside looked desert-like; as we approached Cordoba, it was 35°C. It got even warmer over the next few days.

We arrived in the afternoon and stayed at the Hotel Delicias for the first two days. Late in the evening, part of the group members from Germany arrived and also the tour group with Guru Prasad, the son of Master Kumar. For Monday, the Spanish members had organised a guided tour to the old town of Cordoba and the Mosque-Cathedral for our group.

It was a very interesting 3.5 hs tour through the old Jewish quarter and the “Mezquita-Catedral” and the tour guide gave many interesting and humorous insights.

After the tour, the group met for lunch in a restaurant. In the afternoon, members of Cordoba group offered us a ride to the group centre some kilometres outside the city. A surprise:

Through an avenue of palm trees we came to a beautifully arranged building surrounded by plants and flowers and a little fountain at the entrance.

It felt like being in an ashram. Inside, there were numerous objects of spiritual symbols and mandalas an artist-group member had created. The name of the group is Karuna_a – Karuna is a Sanskrit word for love and compassion. And the _a stands for anahata, the heart centre.

The group gave us a warm welcome, sang some songs with vibrant dynamism and offered some sweets. You could feel a great commitment. Outside, the temperature had come up to 38 °C, but the many plants around the house created a cooler and serene ambiance.

Later, group members drove us back to the hotel – the impressions of the visit continued to resonate inside.

Picture to the month of Cancer
When the soul leaves the physical body at death, it continues to exist but only experiences through the causal body. In the time between leaving the physical and the next incarnation, the soul makes movements that are described as travelling through the lunar and solar spheres.

After a time, the soul seeks reincarnation again in order to satisfy unfulfilled desires. As if in a vortex, it moves down to the physical plane to re-enter a womb. With a liberated soul, there is no downward pull, but it can descend again for the benefit of humanity.

To illustrate the movement of souls through the etheric spheres between death and rebirth, I edited the photo of a fossilised ammonite shell. The subdividing chamber partitions (septa) indicate the many force fields through which the souls move. In the background, I placed a picture of the moon and above it a depiction of the earth.

The septa taper in a spiral towards a point, the symbolic point of earthly incarnation. At the centre of the circular and spiral structures is a star, the I AM as the centre of our existence. I inserted an illustration of the mother’s womb behind it, which forms a light or birth canal downwards: The soul or solar angel on its way to put on physical garments.

However, the star is also solar in nature. The stars in the upper part of the picture indicate the souls that move liberated outside the force field of rebirths in higher planes of existence.

From Onda, we went further south and arrived in the afternoon at Murcia, reaching finally the place where I wanted to bring my paintings. As we drove around the city on the motorway and approached the area of the farm of Jesus and Ursula, we suddenly saw a huge statue of Christ on a mountain reminding of the Christ on Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro and like blessing the surrounding.

We drove through some small streets and then saw the farmhouse of Ursula and Jesus.

They gave us a warm welcome. There were also a brother of Ursula and a Dutch friend from the office of Jesus.

We parked the car in front of the house and started unpacking.

I felt very happy to see the beautiful space very well suited for the paintings. Jesus showed me the house and the room where the images are now stored. Then we had some hearty talks.

After evening meditation and dinner, Jesus and Ursula showed us the area. There was a great sunrise behind the mount with the statue of the Christ – a sublime moment.

Early next morning, after morning meditation and breakfast, we started towards Cordoba together with Ursula and Jesus.
