In the prophetic vision of
St. John about the New Jerusalem the twelve gates of the Holy City
symbolise the different paths of the world religions leading to the
Origin of Being. In his books, The Second Coming and The Teaching and the Cause of the Spirit of Truth Leon Moscona interprets the vision of St. John as a majestic
Zodiac-Mandala embracing the whole Hindu-European Cycle of human
history. The New Jerusalem is a model of the Kingdom of God where there are many mansions – the spiritual worlds of the world religions.
The Bulgarian nation is well
known for its religious and ethnic tolerance. In the centre of Sofia,
coexisting peacefully and carrying out their spiritual activities for
many decades, are the Orthodox church “Sveta Nedelia”, the Catholic
church, the Jewish synagogue, the Muslim mosque, the Armenian church,
the Russian church, the church "St. Sofia", the cathedral "St. Alexander
Nevsky" and others. In the light of the archetype of the Holy City from
the Apocalypse we could visualise Sofia as a projection of the Heavenly
Jerusalem on Earth.
For this purpose the
spiritual group visits the various Temples and participates in the
services, which are performed. The camera "goes" from service to service
in the Temples showing the participants of the group as part of the
congregation and showing special frescoes and icons, accompanied by
appropriate music. The text, which is narrated, is from the books of
Leon Moscona revealing deepest meaning of the service which is performed
in each one of them. For instance, in the church "Sveta Nedelia" the
believers pray to Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life, in the synagogue they pray to the One Who Is, to the I am that I am, in the mosque the faithful pray to Allah who for them is the Essence of the World. Accordingly, the musical track includes inspiring music, songs and chants from the various traditions.
The final scene is in front
of the cathedral "St. Alexander Nevsky". This cathedral square is a
gathering place of the people and has witnessed many historical events,
festivals and celebrations. The video track will show (from the T.V.
archives) the historical gathering on the 10th of November 1989 when the
Bulgarian people celebrated the fall of the communist system. The
excitement, the inspiration, the feelings of freedom, joy, friendship
and eventfulness at that meeting were unforgettable. Everyone who was
present at the gathering remembers it well and may do so for the rest of
their lives.
This time the scene could be
like a realisation of the most cherished dream in the minds and hearts
of the human beings for many centuries and millennia – the dream of
peace, love, harmony and mutual understanding among all peoples. With
appropriate, inspiring words, channelling the blessing from the Book of Revelation (21: 3-4), we could envisage the First Day of Eternal Peace, the joyful
decision of humankind to establish the New Jerusalem civilisation on
Earth and to live in peace, love, harmony, wisdom and truth forever: And
I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God
is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and
God himself will be with them and be their God.He will wipe every
tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning, or
crying, or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
The cathedral square could
be appreciated as a place for the spiritual assembly of representatives
of various world religions. The names and the paths of the religions are
different but the purpose is one and the same – to experience the
Living God, who was, who is and who is to come. In essence the
various spiritual communities carry different parts of the ‘tabernacle’
in the New Jerusalem where the united humankind will perform its Divine
Service.
Among the thousands of
people there could be representatives of different religions, cultures,
ages, social class, gender, etc. All of them however in the New
Jerusalem civilisation have to experience themselves as one wholeness,
God's people, transforming the Earth into a Garden of Paradise. The
music track could include the final chorus from the 9 symphony of
Beethoven “Oh millions, embrace each other” (it is not by chance that this chorus is the hymn of Europe).
The services in the Temples
in the centre of Sofia were connected with the First Coming of the
Divine Masters. As we saw from the Scene The Vision of Christ and Exodus, meeting the Second Coming of Christ strengthened, rejuvenated and
reinforced the Teaching from His First Coming and brought it to a
completion. In a similar way we have to meet the Second Coming (or the
New Coming) of the other Divine Masters. Then we will ascend from Sofia
as the projection of the New Jerusalem on Earth into the reality of the
New Heaven and the New Earth, the Heavenly Jerusalem, where the Divine
Masters and the Personifications of the Divine Feminine are always
present. There we will activate the fundamental archetypes from the last
chapters of the Apocalypse and experience our cherished dream for
eternal peace and harmony on Earth, the New Cycle of Existence of
humankind.
So, the journey to the
reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth has to continue. For this
purpose the participants go to the sacred mountain Rila. From the
Bulgarian Master Beinsa Douno it is known that Rila is one of the oldest
spiritual universities in the world. In its Akashic chronicles are
written many initiations from the spiritual history of humankind. In the
first half of the XX century the Master Beinsa Douno himself revealed a
great new initiation connected with the epoch of Aquarius and the entry
into the new solar culture. The vibrations of the work of the Master
Beinsa Douno are printed in every hill, valley and lake in the areas of
the Seven Lakes and Mussala Summit. This is why it is very natural for
the spiritual journey to continue at the Seven Lakes and there to try to
make a connection with the Living God.
From Rila we have to ascend
into the Highest Divine World and to activate the archetypes of the
Divine Wedding, the Thousand Years Kingdom of Christ, the Throne of God
and the River of Life coming from it and the Tree of Life, which gives
fruit twelve times a year.
