Scene Four: The Divine Wedding

 

All activities in Scenes four, five, six, seven and 8 will be performed on the sacred Rila Mountain. The group will form a “spiritual base camp” at the mountain house, “Hija Rilski Ezera”. Like an expedition in the Himalayas, from the base camp the participants will go to different places in order to realise their spiritual goals. The camera could show the arrival of the group at the "base camp", the conditions there and the surrounding areas. (An idea about the life of the group in the base camp is given in the film The New Earth by Rostislava Gencheva and Daniel Draganov, broadcasted on August 20, 2006 on BTV The Reporters).

The fundamental archetype, which will be activated in Scene Four, is the Divine Wedding described so majestically and emotionally by St. John in the 19^th chapter of the Apocalypse (19: 6-9). It has inspired many saints, initiates and people of art. It is not by chance that the famous chorus Alleluia from Handel’s Messiah is written exactly from this text.

In essence, participation in the Divine Wedding, which gives birth to the Reality of the New Heaven and New Earth, will be at the centre of all our spiritual work on Rila. In this fourth Scene however it is important to make a special contact with the Divine Feminine in order to balance within the two main archetypal energies in Creation – the masculine and feminine.

The appreciation of the Divine Feminine is of crucial importance for our time. In order to survive and undergo spiritual rebirth, we have to follow a whole New Gospel which comes from the Divine Mother. It will help us to bring the Kingdom of God down on Earth and to build life on all levels of Being as a Divine Temple. Emerging from the Source of Life, i.e. the cosmic-spiritual Sun which never sets, the Divine Mother creates life in all realms of the vertical structure of the Universe as a Divine Temple – from the reality of the Holy City, through the various celestial worlds, up to the life of humankind on Earth. On Earth She transforms and illuminates the Earth itself, human culture, society, the family and the life of the individual human being. In fact, the event of the Second Coming of the Divine Masters and the coming New Gospel from the Divine Mother are two aspects of one and the same mystery - the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth coming into existence from the Source of Life, the Absolute Origin of Being.

So, the inspiring vision of St. John in the Book of Revelation about the Divine Wedding (Chapter 19: 6-9)refers to the establishment of the new celestial culture on Earth, woven by "the good deeds of God's people". We are invited to participate in the Divine Wedding (Revelation 19: 9), which means to co-create with the Divine Masters and the personifications of the Divine Feminine for the establishment of the Kingdom of God on Earth.

In order to activate the archetype of the Divine Wedding and especially the link with the Divine Feminine, the group ascends to the plateau above the Hija, on a little hill, from where the participants could see a wonderful panorama. On one side is the great view of the Rila Lakes, the PrayerSummit, Haramiyata, the Solons, Malovitsa’s range of summits and the highest Rila summit, Moussala, in the far distance. On the other side is the great plateau next to the Fifth Lake, the summits Kabul, Ostretz, the Lake Summit and the plateau above the Seven Lakes in the form of a “wreath”.

At this scenic place the group will activate the archetype from the 19^th chapter of the Book of Revelation and will try to become immersed in the aura of the Divine Feminine. For this purpose it has to enter spiritually into three Temples, one within the other, corresponding to the three-fold structure of the Universe: the Temple of Nature, the Temple of the Universal Soul and the Temple of the Universal Spirit.

With appropriate prayer-meditation, led by Leon Moscona, the group appreciates the whole area as a majestic Temple of Nature. In fact, when the participants face the Lake Summit, situated at the centre of their view, the mountain range (from Ostretz to the Salons) resembles the altar of a majestic Temple. We are in front of it while the whole space behind us is the hall of the temple. The camera has to capture the extraordinary majesty, beauty, purity and spiritual presence in this Temple. There is something deeply moving in the beauty of the valleys and the lakes, in the surrounding majestic summits, in the meadows, the flowers and the running water of brooks. The words in the guided prayer-meditation will appreciate the Earth as a living Being, Mother Earth, Gaia, who sustains all Kingdoms of life on it. The spiritual task of the group is to experience our planet enveloped in the aura of the Divine Mother, filled with the Holy Spirit who transforms the Earth into a majestic Temple of Light.

As the prayer-meditation continues with inspiring words and songs, another Temple has to be visualised - the Temple of the Universal Soul. For this purpose the space has to become 'alive', resembling an etheric sea of light, love, music, celestial thought forms, inhabited by myriad of angels and light beings. It is a sea of colour rays of light, which are the Divine virtues radiating from the souls. Here the camera could focus on the faces of the participants in the group, especially the female friends, manifesting the virtues of the human soul. They express their love, gratitude, tenderness and devotion to the Divine Mother, to the Mother Earth, to Nature with all Kingdoms of Live in it. The participants in the prayer-meditation feel part of God's people on Earth, with souls in full bloom. The video track could also show inspirational pictures of people who are living in the reality of the Universal Soul.

The third Temple, the Temple of the Universal Spirit, is the one which is the whole of Creation. The dome of this temple is the highest Divine world, the Absolute Origin of Being, the Cosmic-spiritual Sun, from where the images of the Divine Masters and the Personifications of the Divine Feminine radiate. While the male manifestations of the Universal Spirit areconnected with the archetypes of Personification (Babaji), Realisation (Buddha), Incarnation (Jesus Christ), Prophethood (Muhammad), World Teacherhood the Master Beinsa Douno), Emanation (The Holy Spirit), etc., the female manifestations connected with them take the form of family archetypes - those of Sister (Mataji), Daughter (Kuan Yin, Fatima, the New Eve), Mother (Virgin Mary) and Bride (Zventa Sventana). This is the way in which the feminine manifestations reflect the union between the masculine and the feminine universal principles and reveal the Divine wholeness of Being.

In our prayer-meditation in this Temple we have to make direct contact with the various Manifestation of the Divine Feminine and experience the archetypes of the Mother, the Daughter, the Sister and the Bride. This could be achieved through devotional invocation and mergence with their cosmic-spiritual bodies. It is a great joy to experience the love, the tenderness, the beauty, the kindness and the protection of the Divine Mother. But the real mystery comes when, from the womb of the Universal Mother, we are born through the intercession of the Holy Spirit as children of Light.

The prayer-meditation for link with the Divine Feminine, led by Leon Moscona, will include readings and verses from sacred books (especially the Apocalypse of St. John), prayers to the blessed Mother and other manifestations of the Divine Feminine, invocations, guided meditations, accompanied by appropriate music. When the spiritual atmosphere is developed and the three Temples are spiritually present in our consciousness, then the famous chorus Alleluia could sound apocalyptic – the Heavens will open and we will be able to hear what sounded like a large crowd, like the sound of a roaring waterfall, like loud peals of thunder (Revelation 19: 6). Thus the archetype of the Divine Wedding from the Apocalypse will be activated and we will receive an invitation to participate in it.

During this Scene the camera will pay special attention to the images, experiences and the spiritual feelings of the female friends in the group. One of them from Switzerland, who participates every year in the assembly on Rila, has the talent to express the depth of the human soul through her voice in emotional musical improvisations. Certainly she could be one of the main ‘acting persons’ in the Scene and will express, on behalf of the whole group, our great love, gratitude, devotion and passion for the Divine Mother in all her aspects and appearances.
