Visit to the Meitheal Community in Ireland


We were invited to visit the Meitheal Community in County Donegal, Ireland, and in July 1987 we arrived there.  The Meitheal Community was an eco-centre and community of spiritual people living together and working for personal, environmental and planetary transformation. This community was connected with Findhorn Community and followed Eileen Caddy’s inspiring example.


In the Community itself we were met very warmly and felt immediately at home. There were about fifteen to twenty people in the Community, some of them living there, others travelling to it every day. The atmosphere was very enthusiastic, with a lot of energy and a variety of activities – quite similar to Findhorn. We were introduced to everyone and the next morning we started our life there not as visitors or guests, but as members of the Community, despite the fact that I was invited to give an extensive seminar there.


The main activity of the first day was to visit the ancient Grianan Ringfort. Grianan Ringfort is a stone ring fort surrounded by earthworks on the top of Grianan Mountain, some 244 metres high. The fort has an internal diameter of 23.4m, and has a massive stone wall almost 4m thick. There are several stairways giving access to the top of the walls. Within the walls are a number of small chambers. The Grianan Ringfort is also known by its Irish name of Grianán Ailigh, and the name is roughly translated as “Stone Forts (or Temple) of the Sun”. The Grianan Ringfort is an Iron Age stone fortress and is believed to have been the seat of the Kingdom of Aileach. It was a political and cultural centre during the time of the early Irish chieftains from approximately 800 BC to 1200 AD.


We were very impressed by the Ringfort and I felt a strong spiritual presence inside and around it. I even suggested on one of our seminar days to have the sacred dance Paneurhythmy(high cosmic rhythm) within the Ringfort grounds on the green area. This idea sounded very interesting and the participants accepted it with joy and appreciation.


So, after a few days I started my workshop in the Meitheal Community with the Paneurhythmy on the green inside Grianan Ringfort. In my life I did Paneurhythmy in many places, sometimes quite unusual, for instance, on the top of a high summit in Bulgaria, on a sea shore, in public parks, in private houses and in spiritual centres, but definitely the Paneurhythmy inside the meadow of Grianan Ringfort was one of the most unusual. During the dance I felt as if the ruins of the Ringfort were revived and light beings, connected with it, dormant from centuries, were resurrected and ready to fulfil again their sacred functions in the temple. Symbolically, our Paneurhythmy dance was building an etheric temple above the Ringfort, opening its doors to the new generation of worshipers. Their joy, and our joy, was very subtle and real. It was one of the highlights of my seminar in Meitheal.


After this inspiring Paneurhythmy we decided to clear the spring in the vicinity of the Ringfort. It was completely neglected and dirty. In general, cleaning springs is a very rewarding deed and of course we felt these vibrations. As a whole the Grianan Ringfort and its surroundings were revived and renewed: in a sense we felt that we built a rainbow bridge between the distant past and the present. Interestingly, now Grianan is a well appreciated megalithic monument in the National Heritage of Ireland and attracts many visitors.


Three Visions from the Golden Age


The First Vision


On the first day of our visit to the Grianan Ringfort I had a very unusual spiritual vision. When we left the Ringfort, the whole space around was transformed ethereally and I saw a magnificent metaphysical picture. The ethereal space of the Earth was fused with the celestial world and on this enormous screen I saw cosmic beings with physical bodies on Earth and with extended astral bodies in the higher worlds. The peace, the spiritual knowledge and the beauty of these beings was extraordinary – they were creating a cosmic-spiritual space of Love in direct contact with myriads of light beings in Creation. I was told that they are representatives of the human race from the first Golden Age. Indeed, the land of Ireland still keeps the Akashic Chronicles from this first Golden Age.


Now, at the end of the Indo-European Cycle, the Book of the Living of the human race is open (the Akashic Chronicles containing all the good deeds) and humankind is able to read from it the initiations through which it has passed, including the most ancient ones, in order to bring them into the New Cycle of Existence.


After my vision a strong insight came to me: the Irish people have a wonderful example from their ancestors for developing the higher spiritual emotional, intellectual and will  bodies; the higher emotional body manifests the great richness of human virtues; the higher intellectual body contains enormous treasures of spiritual knowledge about the Universe, the Earth and all Kingdoms of life on it; the higher will body allows them to become mediators between Heaven and Earth and to write their names in the Book of the Living. Thus, the Irish people could now build the bridge between the first Golden Age and the New Golden Age, becoming an inspiring example for the rest of the world. Then, of course, the Twelfth Universal Gate of the Heavenly Jerusalem will be opened and millions of people will be able to enter into the Holy City, the Kingdom of God with many mansions, by following their example.


The Second Vision


This wonderful vision reminded me of another vision in the sacred mountain Rila in Bulgaria ten years earlier. I was with a friend of mine walking on a Plateau when I had a very interesting vision. The mountains were crystal clear and little by little they started vibrating ethereally. I understood that something unusual was going to happen. Indeed, the curtain between Heaven and Earth fell away and I saw a whole new spiritual world. Such a spiritual reality I have never seen before – it was like a living astral cosmos with human-like beings full of kindness, spiritual presence, knowledge, peace and harmony. Despite the fact that they were ‘mythological beings’, I could observe some of their activities and relationships.


Interestingly, their world was full of great purity, harmony and kindness. It was as if they had never participated in the spiritual story of humankind, including Hermes, Moses, Buddha, Zoroaster, Christ and others. I was very surprised and even mystified – who are these people and what is their spiritual world, what is their Initiation? Little by little an answer came within me: You are seeing the oldest Initiation on Earth, the first Golden Age, the epoch of the ‘Vedic civilisation’. These living Beings were the ancestors of humanity who lived before the Fall when the Earth was a Garden of Paradise.


I was immersed in the beauty and the spiritual nectar of this world for quite some time and did not like to leave it. Later I realised that I was in contact with the Divine ancestors of humankind of whom the Master Beinsa Douno spoke when he said: they organised the primal “cosmic” earth – what was once “paradise”. On that “cosmic earth” still live those perfected forefathers of men who completed their evolution. They are the great ancestors of humanity. Those creators of the past, those great ancestors, again today, descend to our earth. And they will transform it into a paradise.


Between the two visions, in Grianan and in Bulgaria, there were some similarities, but important differences too. The human beings in the vision from Rila were much further away in time, almost in a mythological epoch. The human beings in Grianan were from the previous Golden Age, thousands of years ago, but still part of our human race.


The Third Vision


Here it is very interesting to compare both visions with a third one, which happened in the summer on the following year (1988). Then I was in the United States, invited by a friend of mine for seminars on Paneurhythmy and Mandala Meditation.


We were in northern California in places very sacred to the American Indians. The group which gathered was from a mystery school connected with the spiritual tradition of Lama Anagarika Govinda and others. California is a Mecca of spiritual groups of different traditions, especially the Indians. On the eve of our seminar the group started a dance ritual with which they celebrate the full moon in August, in accordance with the Indian tradition. The ritual dance had to continue throughout the night and in the morning we had to meet the sunrise. We decided to dance the Paneurhythmy after this.


Of course, I joined their spiritual ritual dance in the evening. When we started the dance, I felt a very special emotion – I felt that I made contact with the ancestors of the American Indians. I experienced great warmth and a very deep connection with them. I felt their love for the earth, for nature, for the whole solar system and the universe. I knew in advance about their appreciation of Nature, but on this sacred place I felt this very vividly, very powerfully, through the contact with the American Indians themselves. I felt their sacred relationship to the Earth as Mother Earth and their great care and concern for its future because of the polluting and destruction by our civilisation.


The next day, when we started our sacred dance Paneurhythmy, I felt again the presence of the Indian Ancestors. It was in the atmosphere, in the joy of the people who were dancing, in the natural transition from the Indian ritual dance during the night to the circle of the Paneurhythmy and entry into the great cosmic spiritual rhythm of life. Then I experienced their great joy in the Paneurhythmy itself because the spirits of the ancestors finally relaxed – there is a future for the Earth and the future is in the Paneurhythmy or at least in this type of sacred dance. They felt that they somehow passed the ‘mystical torch’ of the first vibrations of the sacred Earth in purity and virginity to this new purification, spiritualisation and illumination of the Earth through the Paneurhythmy. The feeling was extremely deep and moving.


If the vision on Rila was in a ‘mythological time’, the vision in Grianan Ringfort was from the previous Golden Age, the vision connected with the American Indians was from the recent history. In other words, the vision in Rila was connected with the ‘metaphysical ancestors of humankind; the vision in Grianan Ringfort was connected with the people from the previous Golden Age; the vision in California was connected with the Indian ancestors living in our epoch. Thus, we have the mythological plane, the metahistorical plane and the cultural-historical plane.


All three visions are connected in their appreciation of the Earth and the living Cosmos and with the great spiritual state of the human beings. Somehow these visions represent the spiritual past of humankind that we have to resurrect and bring its fruits into the New Cycle of Existence. They are also very important for the opening of the Twelfth Gate of the Holy City leading to the coming New Heaenly Jerusalem Golden Age. In this regard, my vision in Grianan Ringfort, the connection with the previous Golden Ages, was very important as a basis for the spiritual work in our time.
