Mystical Vision of the Cosmic Christ

My mystical contact with Christ happened completely unexpectedly. It is for spiritual events like this that it is said: Unknown are the ways of the Lord.

In 1975, on a beautiful summer day on the Sacred Mountain Rila in Bulgaria, I was with two friends climbing towards the Lake of Purity (in the region of the Seven Lakes). It was a wonderful sunny day, with very fresh "prannic" air and exceptional visibility. When we reached the plateau, we stopped for a little rest and contemplation. We sat comfortably on the grass and everybody went deep into reflection, contemplation or meditation.

At this moment something extraordinary happened to me. As I was sitting on the ground, enjoying the beautiful day and the scenic panorama, everything around me suddenly starting vibrating and I felt that I was entering into a different metaphysical space and time. As in the Book of Revelation, the Spirit took control of me and carried me to the top of a high mountain. From the top of this high metaphysical mountain I saw the image of the Cosmic Christ, filling the whole "sky". Actually, the sky itself was the image of Christ (somehow close to the image from the shrine of Turin, but of course full of life), radiating with incredible light, love, peace, tenderness, beauty and apocalyptic power. His eyes, full of all Divine Virtues, contemplated the whole of Creation. I felt that He was looking at me with great Divine Love and at the same time He was looking through me at myriads of other beings with the same Divine Love, Wisdom and Truth.

Little by little I began to realise the great mystery of Christ as the ideal-subjective essence of the Universe, the active principle, the absolute reality of all living beings, the substance of the “I”, the beginning and the end of human evolution, the whole continuum of perfected spiritual qualities. He appeared as the Light of the Universe, the only Subject of the Universe, God the Son, the One Who has made God known, Who is manifesting the Living God at every moment and in eternity.

This was actually the Divine prototype of the Human Being made in the image and likeness of God. In His Divine eyes I was able to read the whole story of humankind – from the beginning of its evolution up to its conclusion as God's people on sacred Earth, mediators between Heaven and Earth. For me His Divine metaphysical presence on that day was like seeing the living Scroll from the Book of Revelation (Chapter 5) where everything in the evolution of humankind is written.

In this astonishing vision I understood many archetypes from the Gospels, from the Book of Revelation and from many other Holy Scriptures as well. In the first Chapter of the Book of Revelation St. John describes his vision of the Cosmic Christ (9-20) and his Book of Revelation unfolded as a result of this vision. For St. John it was like meeting the Second Coming of Christ Who showed him the mystery of Creation (Chapter 4), the spiritual history

of humankind (Chapters 6-18), the apocalyptic events of its transformation and the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth where humankind will continue its evolution (Chapters 19-22).

My vision of the Cosmic Christ was like a revelation of the mysteries in the Book of Revelation. The vision lasted for about forty-five minutes, but after these minutes I was a different person. The Cosmic Christ revealed to me the three-fold structure of the Universe and the essence of the Human Being as its micro-model. This vision was like an initiation into the Second Coming of Christ and into the mystery of the Book of Revelation by St. John.

My vision of Christ was a living experience which gave fruits over the years and provided answers to the main questions in my spiritual journey. In the light of this vision I understood many of my previous visions much better and the mystical experiences which came afterwards.

Opening of the Heart and Crown Chakras

The next important steps towards developing my Atmic Body were the opening of the Heart and Crown chakras by merging with Christ. On February 1981, a friend of mine blessed me with holy oil from Jerusalem. This blessing had a magical effect on me: my heart chakra was open and I felt incredible light and the presence of Christ within my heart. Mystically I started the journey within my heart towards the Sacred Heart of Jesus manifesting as the Universal Soul. The Divine virtues within the Sacred Heart of Jesus were like a fountain of life, light and love springing in my heart. At some stage, entering into a state of bliss, I felt that my heart chakra had merged with the Sacred Heart of Jesus and my soul was blossoming in the reality of the Universal Soul. This was one of the most exciting and inspiring experiences in my life!

The opening of my Crown chakra happened in Jerusalem, in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, on May 1981. In every trip to Jerusalem I visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and spent hours in prayer and meditation. In one of my meditations I had a very mystical experience when my Crown chakra opened. In the centre of the Crown chakra I felt the Christ presence in me. Of course it was not in my head, it was in a very subtle mystical dimension where the whole universe is just Christ Light and this Light was lit in my crown chakra. This Light gradually began to fill my head, my shoulders, my chest and my hands. I understood what kind of energy came through Christ when He healed the people. It was a great mystical experience for me and I gave thanks to Christ and to God from the depths of my soul for revealing, at least for a few moments, this great mystery. Interestingly, quite a few times when I returned from Jerusalem to Jaffa and lay in bed for the night to sleep, I felt my body full of light. The ‘size’ of the body was much smaller, as of a child, but the substance of the body was living light. So, in the mornings when I got up from bed I was very ‘careful’ not to ‘disperse’ this precious light substance. Of course, I was very happy with this feeling and I wanted it to continue, but little by little it faded away. Nevertheless an inspiring lesson was learned and my Crown chakra was open, although then only partly!

I realized that the whole of Creation is a Divine Temple where the Light of God shines as a great Cosmic-spiritual Sun at its Centre. From this Cosmic-spiritual Sun all the Divine Masters, founders of religions, and the Manifestations of the Divine Feminine, radiate. Over the years I was blessed to link with some of them and to receive their initiations. I was able to contemplate such great Divine Masters as Enoch, Zoroaster, the Lord Krishna, Orpheus and Eurydice, the Enlightened Gautama Buddha and Kuan Yin, the Son of God, Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary, the World Teacher Beinsa Douno and the New Eve and many others.
