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.

The next part of the journey began with a surprise: Friday morning, when we arrived at the highway at Girona, I could not speed up the car – the motor was not fully working. I immediately turned to the Girona exit and drove to the nearby petrol station. We invoked Ganesha and whoever might help… And it worked.

A man at the petrol station told us with hands (we don’t speak neither Spanish nor Catalan as it is spoken there) that just around the corner there was a garage – a big one. After short waiting, probably the head of the garage, who spoke a little English, had a look at our car and the spiral alarm light. He then electronically tested the system, did a test ride and gave a little all-clear: The problem had to do with the diesel turbo injection which might return during the journey but we might just restart the car after a small pause. Everything went well with the car during the entire journey – and we gave a big thank-you to Ganesha 🙂

The rain from Girona ended while we drove southwards and it became much warmer. We arrived in Onda in the afternoon. Teresa and Manuel gave us a warm welcome. It is the home of the Muditha group of WTT, and I had visited them already in 2012. (You find more about this group and the others in the Annual Report of WTT-Global, PDF.) In the 1990s, Sri Kumar had installed a Krishna statue in their garden. Two of their sons joined for a group photo with Sri Krishna. We spread some rice grains around as a blessing for the birds – next morning, it was all gone, and some more rice was spread.

Manuel is responsible for the book publications of Ediciones Dhanishtha, the publishing house of WTT-Spain, and they have published plenty of books, also a few new ones this year. I smiled when I saw the Spanish Sripada biography published last year on a shelf in their home. (You find much more about adventures around Sripada and his biography in this blog.)

They have a beautiful meditation room …

… but we sat downstairs for joining the zoom evening meditation of WTT-Global followed by a special prayer of the Great Eagle Garuda, related to reviving the spiritual impulse of Spain.

A hearty evening dinner and talk…

…a morning walk with their beautiful meditative dog through the nearby forest area (while all the dogs of the neighbourhood were wildly barking, he kept quiet, and also during meditation) …

… and then we had to leave for the next stage of the journey. But we met them later in Cordoba again.

Although the journey was long, it was a very precious time. Mathilda, a group member from Berne, accompanied me. She had the audiobook ‘Autobiography of a Yogi‘, and while driving to the south, our minds dwelled in the stories of the book. And often, associations to our lives brought up conversation excursions. I had prepared the different stages of the journey by contacting Spanish group members on the way. I had done a similar journey in August 2012, and we came now again to part of the places or the people.

The first stop was at the home of Mar, a dentist we had visited in 2012 in Girona. Now, she was living with her husband since a few years in Rupià, a little village in the province of Girona, in a beautiful old renovated house.

At the entry, there was a beautifully carved brass plate (you see handing at the wall in the picture above), like cosmic inter-relationships

In the meditation room, I met again the Krishna statue we had seen 12 years ago:

We had evening and morning meditations together and some intense talks. Then we had to bring the luggage back for the next stage of the journey.

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

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.

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).

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.

On 8th of May, the “White Lotus Day”, we commemorate Helena P. Blavatsky, the great Bringer of Light for the Aquarian Age. We have been doing so since the beginning of our blog 18 years ago. If you would like to know more about the life of the Madam, please find here a biographical sketch about the life and work of HPB.

Master KPK often spoke about the greatness of Madam Blavatsky and what she had done for spirituality. He also gave several books about HPB, her teachings and the impact of her life:

• “The Golden Stairs“
• “Teachings of Madame HPB“
• “The Theosophical Movement“
• 3 volumes on “Lectures on Secret Doctrine”, see here (all books are there available as free PDFs).

May we recollect on the White Lotus Day that Helena Blavatsky brought out the truth about the Masters of Wisdom through her books and that she opened the door for us to link to the Spiritual Hierarchy. We pay homage to her by practically integrating the wisdom into our lives.

See below the words of Master KPK from a discourse on 08th of May 2016 at Visakhapatnam:

“8th May is celebrated as White Lotus Day in the Theosophical Societies. On this day, Madam HPB passed over in the year 1891 and after the departure, she attained a permanent place in the Ashram of a Grand Master in Himalayas. Grand Masters themselves declared this day as “White Lotus Day” because to fulfil their grand Plan, Madam HPB was born. She was a highly pure soul which can be compared to a ‘White lotus’. It is said that there was no other being as pure as her, at the time when she was in a body. She went through lot of hardships in her life and worked towards the establishment of truth and Divine Wisdom on the planet. It is considered a highly difficult task because it is the age of Kali and lot of lies was spreading around and the messengers of Kali were very powerful in their work. Through her, the Divine wisdom spread all over the globe.

So on this day, we should recollect her. She keeps giving her presence to all groups which aspire to learn and practice the path to Divinity. She has a body of light and she is always prepared to grace sincere aspirants. She was given the title “Upasika” by the Grand Masters. It means she was highly devoted to the Divine and his work.

She was born in the early hours of 12th of August and she departed on 8th of May. This day is also celebrated in the Ashrams of Grand Masters because she gained a permanent position in the Ashram through her sincere work. She did not care for the physical body at any point of time. She sustained immense pain in the physical to fulfil the work. She did not leave the body until she completed the book “Secret Doctrine”. She was even suggested by Master Devapi to leave the body prior to that but she did not agree and remained in the body until the work was complete.

The truth that the Hierarchy of Masters exist on the planet and they keep guiding the humanity in the path of ascent, is known to very few. Though it is written in the Indian Scriptures, Indians too did not recognize them. We recognized them only when Madam HPB brought out the truth about them through her books. Only through her, we could get a link to the Hierarchy of Masters. She is the gateway to enter the Ashrams of those Masters. That is why we should recollect her regularly.

She is an embodiment of wisdom and through her we were presented with the knowledge relating to Cosmo-Genesis and Anthropo-Genesis. This knowledge was not available to the mankind earlier, in such detail. So on this day, I took time at the beginning of this discourse to recollect her and her work. She is very much liked by all the Masters of Wisdoms and we gain their blessing by remembering her.”

Have a good White Lotus Day!
