A nine-level shamanic initiation journey through cosmic and earthly portals and a search for balance through sound and the wisdom of different cultures

MIRIT SMILING AT THE COSMIC SOUNDS OF THE HIMALAYAN BOWL (Solstice ceremony, Ljubljana, June 2009)

I. (First dimension)
Pre-historic Spiritual Foundations, the Mythicism and Surgery of Lemuria and Atlantis

The prehistoric wisdom of Europe is much wider and far more important than we usually dare to admit. It is a mirror of wise ancient philosophies of life and subtle perceptions of life, energies and flows. It reflects a search for the wholeness of existence, for the wholesome consciousness of oneness. Life on Earth evolves according to certain laws, which occult and mystery teachings call cosmic doctrine. For hundreds and even thousands of years, this cosmic doctrine has brought a fullness of awareness to people, as well as tools for attaining harmony and broadening the spirit, which enable us to recognise the invisible realms. A prehistoric shamanic journey begins in caves, in the womb of the Earth; it begins in the depths of human consciousness, in the depths of the subconscious, which reflect cosmic-terrestrial eternity, boundlessness and the limitlessness of human abilities and capabilities. When consciously stepping onto the path of sages and shamans, humans must first connect to the Earth and the Universe. This awareness was preserved furthest into our time by Native American tribes and Siberian shamans, as well as by ancient Slovenes and Brazilian and Filipino cosmic surgeons. The symbol of this workshop is the triunity of the THREE SACRED STONES and the ancient KEY OF THE BEAR.

Legends about the exceptional Lemurian and Atlantean civilisations of completeness and perfection keep a memory of timeless and immortal knowledge, important for our civilisation. The myths and reality of Lemuria and Atlantis are reminders, directing us to be loyal to our soul. They direct us towards the broadest multi-dimensional consciousness, which connects the Source, the Origin/Logos of Creation and life, and the physical world.

II. (Second dimension)
Indo-European and Roma Spiritual Heritage and Slavic Culture

The Indo-European heritage is the basis of the wisdom of the ancient Slavs and Slovenes, as well as that of Indian (Vedic) rshis, jyotishis and yogis and Tibetan lamas. Their philosophy of life, death and existence is much broader than today’s understanding of life’s laws of the material and immaterial. However, modern science is now drawing closer to that philosophy day by day. We must recognise and fully grasp the origin of the material and spiritual worlds and the way they work, in order to understand ourselves and the events in our lives and in the world. The consciousness and cell memory of the human body keep the codes of the original and primordial. To cleanse and awaken eternal and timeless cell imprints means to awaken your dormant abilities, all your as yet unknown talents. It means to bring the harmony of perfection to life. The workshop is aligned to the symbolism of THE DANCE OF VISHNU, SHIVA AND SHAKTI. The Indo-European spiritual heritage is still alive in gypsy (Roma) thought, in their ceremonies and the initiations of the “GREAT MOTHER” (PUER MATER).

III. (Third dimension)
Slavs and Greek Heritage

The connectedness and oneness of sound and movement, called mousikê, is very important in the Greek spiritual tradition. It is the basis for recognising our abilities and the resonating Universe, a part of which we are – from subquantum “super strings” to large organisms in the material world. Everything, both the material and spiritual, the visible and invisible, is, in its core, frequency undulation, which is also the pulsing of sound. Frequency-sound vibrations constitute living (and non-living!) organisms, as well as human beings, whose destiny is to seek (and to find) the golden fleece, the essence of life – the immortal awakened consciousness of the Original Logos, the consciousness of an all-connected oneness. In order for this adventure to succeed and to find harmony, happiness, health and abundance, we must first be tempered through relationships, through apparent opposites, which are a part of the great jigsaw puzzle, of the great mosaic. Life was offered to us so that we could overcome painful separation and division, comprehend and begin to live a fulfilled wholeness of a multi-levelled, multi-dimensional reality. Ancient Greek wisdom, principally the wisdom of Orpheus and Pythagoras, was present in the Slavic folk culture through to the second half of the 20th century. Among the Slovenes, Orpheus takes the role of a fiddler, who sets off “to the gates of hell”, that is into the hidden contents of his unconscious, where numerous memories and other saboteurs of happiness dwell. Cosmic doors are opened by the APPOLLO AND ORPHEUS key of constant and eternal changing.

IV. (Fourth dimension)
Slavs and Egyptian Spiritual Teaching

Egyptian secret and hidden knowledge, just like that of the Greeks, is a part of the philosophy of antiquity, which was important in the creation of European and Slavic spiritual culture. Ancient philosophies from various regions and lands were all very similar, only the names were different. Egyptian and Slavic spirituality, mythology, science and art have, almost until the modern era, preserved the ancient enlightened wisdom of the immortal and eternal immaterial soul, and of the meaning of life’s journey and the laws of spiritual growth. Slavic and Egyptian mythology remind us of the overlooked, or lost, spiritual, cosmic part of our earthly existence, about the principle of life and the essences and power of consciousness, or the soul. They remind us of the universal laws of the spiritual within the material world, of the magic of life and death and the alchemy of the material and immaterial, visible and invisible, audible and inaudible, eternal and mortal... The alchemy of important knowledge and knowings takes place in the symbolism of the Egyptian EYE OF HORUS and the Slavic and ancient Slovene SVENTOVID.

V. (Fifth dimension)
The Celtic-Illyrian Spiritual Tradition and the Slavs

The Celtic-Illyrian tradition stems from the Indo-European spiritual heritage and from the even older indigenous culture of today’s Europe. Teachings and spiritual knowings, passed down through centuries, have preserved a sensitivity for the earthly and the cosmic right up to our time. This is reflected in myths and legends, in sound images, languages and rhythms (as well as in writings – in the runes), in ceremonies, customs and the primordial memory of the human essence. Everything that was and everything that is happening right now is imprinted in our consciousness and body cells. Through their rich symbolism, the Celts and Illyrians left messages from those who lived before us for posterity. They also left traces in Slavic and Slovene culture, as they, millennia ago, researched the universal, archetypal, human and primordial; they explored harmony, perfection, that which is conditioned with time and the timeless. What is of worth gets passed down through the ages, through generations ... Do we actually know what great knowledge our distant ancestors left us, so that we could live more wisely, peacefully and better? It is worth delving into this ancient knowledge, which can serve us well even today. Our ancestors sought and realised cosmic consciousness, just like we do today. Let us listen to them and find “the holy grail” within ourselves – the enlightened connectedness of all levels (dimensions) of consciousness, reality, of our very being and existence. The key to this workshop is the solar eye of the GOD BELIN and the Celtic Goddess BRIGID (the Goddess of the hearth).

VI. (Sixth dimension)
A Vedic, Balinese and Ancient Slavic Spiritual Quest

Unfortunately contemporary humans lost the awareness of their multi-dimensional being long ago. They forgot the age-old knowledge of the inter-dimensional journey across the levels of consciousness, across the worlds; they forgot how to listen attentively to the invisible and inaudible. They no longer know how to listen with their heart and inner ear. For them, the enchanting worlds of the soul are unfortunately predominantly lost. Over recent centuries, they willingly overlooked the dimensions beyond the physical (third) level. Our thoughts and emotions are a mirror of the majestic sound waves of the boundless, infinite, eternal, which create everything that exists. A harmony of mind and feeling brings us peace, joy, abundance and unlimited creativity. That is why a mastery of controlling our mind and emotions is the answer to our quest for happiness. Priests and healers (balians) from magical Bali, ancient Vedic rshis and jyotishis, as well as ancient Slovene kresniki and bajalniki, were exceptional masters of this. The ancient Vedic wisdom still lives on in their teachings. The sixth level opens us up to the Balinese iridescent diversity – to the light of sound, to the rich symbols of light and spirit. The keys to this workshop are (Vedic) Balinese symbols for the light of sound and thunder, as well as the sceptre, or the spear, of the Slavic God PERUN.

VII. (Seventh dimension)
Balkan, Baltic and Viking Spiritual Warriorhood and the Orient

The miracles of the multi-dimensional-journey reflect the miracles of the boundless, and this is also the case in the Slavic (Balkan) world. These miracles are reflected in our consciousness and in the awareness of a seven-dimensional reality and of the cosmic creative sound which enables a truly miraculous cosmic surgery on Earth. The high-dimensional, high-frequency sound of the seventh level/dimension of our consciousness and reality is the messenger of the universal Logos, a herald of the Cosmic Intelligence of life; it is a barely perceptible whisper of the Universe (Surat Shabd Yoga). We listen carefully to it in our thoughts, visions and ideas, in songs and movement, in the rhythms of nature and cosmic cycles ... In the first millennium of the Common Era, being a conscious spiritual warrior was a great honour and a responsibility – this was also the case in Baltic countries, among the Vikings. Existence requires of us attunement, alignment to the pulsing of the Universe, to the cosmic and earthly cycles and rhythms. The light alphabet (of the sixth level) is created by the high-frequency sound of the seventh dimension, which is a tool for manifestation, for the embodiment of our souls’ visions. The light-sound language, or the spear (including the spear of THOR), of sacred geometry is a switch, an elevator, which takes us up to the unimagined levels of our being and existence and takes us down into the universal life rhythm or pulse. Doors to the highest planes of existence are opened with seven tones, seven colours of the rainbow, and with the Slavic (Balkan) symbolism of seven (4 + 3) – the physical world and the Holy Trinity. The diversity of seven is also manifested in the SEVEN-HEADED DRAGON.

VIII. (Eigth dimension)
Siberian, East Slavic and Hawaiian Spiritual Power

The ancient Slavic spiritual heritage is a majestic mirror of the wisdom of the ancient world, of both antiquity and pre-history; it is a mirror of cosmic-Earth ethics and aesthetics. Like other Slavic peoples, ancient Siberian Slavic sages listened attentively to the breathing of the Sky (the Black Sky), to the Galactic Centre (the power of the wormhole). In this way, they sought their own centre within the Principle and Source of life; they sought fulfilment and an effective healing and spiritual power. The Slavic heritage, overlooked far too long, remembers and keeps, even in its recent folk history, the universal core of human existence and the eternal quest for the meaning of life. It also remembers and preserves the universal laws of spirit and a means for connecting to all forms of life on Earth and in the Cosmos; it keeps the meaning of a multi-dimensional harmonious resonance with the whole. Harmony and euphony. Kahunas, Hawaiian masters of spirit, were exceptional in those explorations. The so-called eighth dimension is a messenger, a transmitter of the Primordial Idea, Logos, into the frequency (light – sound – material) waves of life, into the material and immaterial. Attaining those levels of reality is a part of the difficult to comprehend, “divine” Great Mysteries; it is the primordial idea, or the “plan”/code/matrix of life and existence. We touch the soul’s Great Mysteries in our own centre, in the centre of our heart and soul (consciousness). Our Slavic ancestors were well aware of this. The keys for climbing the axis of consciousness, the Slavic sacred tree, all the way to the summit, where a golden apple grows (the symbol of enlightenment and ultimate knowing of all levels of existence), are unconditional love and the silence of mind – in connection with the breathing of the “open Sky”, the Source: Siberian kams call it the BLACK SKY.

IX. (Ninth dimension)
The Sacred World of the Ancient Slovenes and the “Dreamtime” of Native Americans and the Aboriginal Peoples of Australia

The ancient Slovene spiritual quest stems from the indigenous, Indo-European and Slavic ancient philosophy of life and from the eternal all-connected spiritual wisdom, which has been preserved up to our time through elements of the so-called folk culture of past centuries. It represents a distinctive relic of a distant cosmic-earth ethic and a way to a harmonious existence and a co-living with the Earth and all forms of life on it. The sacred knowledge of the ancient Slovenes is a unique, ecologically attentive, way of living without conflict. Knowings passed down through centuries, immortal teachings and the very core of the initiation journeys of our planetary ancestors, can be seen in the remnants of the ancient Slovene past. In it, the Triunity, the Holy Trinity (TROČAN) of the earthly – spiritual – cosmic is reflected. When those three are linked in our thoughts and deeds, unusual and miraculous things happen, which foster harmony and euphony of the current moment and of everything that life offers us. The limitations of time disappear. A portal into the infinite and boundless, into the Field of all possibilities and countless opportunities, opens up. Everyone makes their own choice and everyone shapes their own reality. Triunity is the path and goal of all human quests, it is the very essence of the way of life of spiritually aware travellers and spiritual, light warriors; it is the core of the awakened all-connected multi-dimensional consciousness, the essence of the centred cosmic-earthly mission of our existence, which alone can fulfil the soul’s yearning. By becoming familiar with and reviving ancient Slovene and Slavic teachings from different countries, we are able to re-live the majestic experience of our distant ancestors (especially those who lived before the Common Era!). Their teachings unveil the so-called “DREAMTIME” (of the Native Americans and the Aboriginal peoples), as well as a shortcut to the summit of the sacred mountain, to the top of the sacred tree, where the persistent and spiritually open warrior is bestowed with golden apples – the symbols of perfection. Such is the path to the goal, to where our yearning soul, embodied in the physical world, unerringly leads us. You are invited to discover and celebrate the overlooked, to get to know and experience the age-old knowledge, which answers the questions of who we are, why we are, and, primarily, how to co-live in harmony. The key for the cosmic doors of the ninth level, or to it, is the triunity key of the Galactic Centre, of the Source, the harmony of spirit and the earthly world – the HOLY TRINITY or the ancient Slovene TROČAN.
