Leon Moscona’s Mystery School of the Spirit
Iva Balasheva, Bogdan Balashev
We appreciate very much the substantial contribution of Leon Moscona for the spiritual development and transformation of contemporary society.
Leon Moscona has set in motion a Planetary Spiritual Movement for social renovation, spiritual awakening and Divine illumination. At the core of this Movement is the Mystery School of the Spirit lead him with a group of devoted people. In deep prayer and meditation they receive vibrations of peace, harmony, love, care, wisdom and truth radiated from Heaven by God and the Divine Masters and transmit them to the Earth, changing gradually its aura and illuminating the collective consciousness of humankind.
The purpose of this Mystery School is to introduce the new Initiation of the Holy Spirit which sheds light on the coming New Cycle of Existence of humankind in the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth.
Leon Moscona's spiritual activities in the Mystery School of the Spirit are numerous and include lectures, seminars, celebrations of the main religious festivals, publishing activities and more. One of the main spiritual activities in the Mystery School is the Summer Assembly in the sacred Bulgarian Mountain of Rila. Since 1999, Leon Moscona journeys with his followers to this sacred Mountain almost every year. There he carries out a holy service before the Living God, the Divine Masters and the Personification of the Divine Feminine.
The Bulgarian Master Beinsa Douno (1864 - 1944), who during the first part of the Twentieth century worked for decades on Rila Mountain with thousands of people, said that this is the place of the oldest metaphysical university on Earth. In ancient times the great mysteries of the legendary musician Orpheus took place on Rila. On the same mountain in early medieval times lived St. Ivan Rilski, a hermit who performed many miracles and became the spiritual patron of the Bulgarian people. A wonderful monastery is set near the place where he lived, a place giving continuity of worship of God for thousand of years, up to our present time.
In this atmosphere of inspiring spiritual presence, surrounded by great summits and crystal clear lakes, Leon Moscona and his devoted friends spend many sanctified days: meet the Sunrise in prayer-meditation, perform the sacred dance Paneurhythmy, walk in the Mountains in contemplation and meditation, listen to inspiring talks and share their mystical experiences - thus developing and experiencing a new attitude and understanding of God, Creation and the human being 'made in the image and likeness of God'.
The Founder of Anthroposophy, Rudolf Steiner, in one of his lectures said that when even one person masters a new spiritual quality it has an impact on society and the human race as a whole. So when Leon Moscona and his close friends meet the Sunrise in deep prayer-meditation and link with the living energies of the Sun, as the Solar Logos, and with the Divine Masters as images of the cosmic-spiritual Sun at the centre of Creation, this act has significance reaching far beyond the work of the group and affects the vibrations of the whole planet.
The same goes for the Paneurhythmy (Paneurhythmy means 'high cosmic rhythm'). This is a sacred dance, given by the Bulgarian Master Beinsa Douno, which lasts one and a half hours. It is performed by pairs moving together anticlockwise in a circle, listening to Divine music and dancing gracefully with concentration. Inspired and guided by Leon Moscona, the dance gradually develops into a spiritual journey in which the participants grow as cosmic-spiritual beings and the circle of Paneurhythmy starts to blossom as a Tree of Life. The pair exchange energies between themselves and at the same time with the others in the whole circle, with Nature, with Earth and with Heaven.
During the meditations, led by Leon Moscona, a sacred service is carried out in front of the Throne of God. Metaphysically, the whole area, with its beautiful seven lakes and majestic summits, becomes transformed like a Divine Temple. In this Temple the altars of world religions established by Jesus Christ, Krishna, Hermes, Zoroaster, Buddha, Moses, Mohammed and the Master Beinsa Douno materialize ethereally and a Divine service is performed. When the service is concentrated, vivid and inspiring, the result is an experience of the Living God.
In the evenings Leon Moscona gives inspiring and insightful talks –revelations about the Book of Revelation and other Holy Scriptures. In them the archetypes from the Apocalypse become keys to the spiritual history, to the present and the future of humankind. Some of the most powerful archetypes are those of the fall of Babylon, the Battle of the Rider on the White Horse, the 144 000 Initiates 'who sing a new song which only they could learn' and the coming new Reality of the Heavenly Jerusalem.
Babylon is the symbol of the contemporary civilization where the negative energies have great influence on people and make them crave for wealth, high social status and power, resulting in egocentric existence and destruction of nature.
The Rider on the White Horse is called “Faithful and True” and “out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike the nations.” This vision depicts the culmination of the apocalyptic battle between the light and the dark forces which takes place in our present epoch. The Movement for the realisation of the Testament of Truth, led by Leon Moscona, is part of the action of the light forces, working for the opening of human consciousness for the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth.
The 144 000 Initiates 'who sing a new song which only they could learn' (Revelation 14: 3) is a symbol of the people from all humankind who are initiated into the coming new epoch in the life of humanity.
The symbol of the New Heaven and the New Earth on which the New Humankind will live with God and the Divine Masters forever is the New Jerusalem. This is the bright future of our world, which is coming closer and closer. This is the ultimate and cherished goal of the Planetary Spiritual Movement for social renovation, spiritual awakening and Divine illumination initiated by Leon Moscona.
The activation of the archetypes from the Book of Revelation and other Holy Scriptures makes them a field for most inspiring and creative spiritual work. In the Mystery School of the Spirit unfolded by Leon Moscona the Holy Scriptures of the world religions, and especially the Book of Revelation, become the archetypal 'framework' for the establishment of the New Jerusalem civilization on Earth, i.e. the reality of the Kingdom of God with many mansions where the many mansions are the spiritual worlds of the religions. This is why this Mystery School of the Spirit is the driving force behind the Planetary Spiritual Movement.
The Movement, initiated by Leon Moscona, is a powerful alternative to life in ecological, social and international tension. It gives the chance for peaceful existence in harmony, mutual understanding and help between individuals, social groups and nations, for great respect for nature and care not only for its preservation, but also for its purification, spiritual elevation and blossoming.
The spiritual work conducted by Leon Moscona is materialized in three books: The Second Coming, published in Ireland in 1995, and translated and published in Bulgaria in 1998; The Initiation of the Holy Spirit and Bulgaria, published in 2002 in Bulgaria and The Testament of Truth - Manifesto published in 2005 in English and in Bulgarian. These books are available in Sofia University library and in Public Libraries in Dublin, London, New York, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, Texas and other cities. A new book The Teaching and the Cause of the Spirit of Truth (approx. 300 pages) is in preparation for publication and soon will go to press.
In 2001 a Web site was launched to spread the ideas and the cause of Leon Moscona to every person who is interested in the mystery of the Initiation of the Holy Spirit and the Planetary Spiritual Movement for social renovation, spiritual awakening and Divine illumination. (www.testamentoftruth.org)
The spiritual ideas of Leon Moscona have been developed in more than 250 lectures given in Bulgaria, Ireland, USA, Switzerland, Germany, UK and Russia during the past twenty years. This is why now we could speak about The Teaching and the Cause of the Spirit of Truth coming through the Initiate Leon Moscona.
Many other reasons for the nomination of Leon Moscona could be given. We believe that there are many other worthy nominees for the Templeton Prize, but we have never experienced such a transcendental power of ideas with direct application in the life of the individual, the nations and humankind as a whole in a single person. That’s why we support the nomination of Leon Moscona for the Templeton Prize for his exceptional metaphysical impact on the spiritual transformation of contemporary society and culture and for his introduction of new spiritual realities in the world.
The New Metaphysics Revealed by Leon Moscona
Janet and Ivailo Hristovi
In contemporary society spirituality finds more and more enthusiasts, people who begin to search for something more than what the material culture offers and who embark on the spiritual path. Our strong desire brought us to various teachings and practices of the main world religions and some other spiritual traditions. For us it was an emotional spiritual journey, which in different ways was leading us to our cherished goal, the Source of Life.
The meeting with Leon Moscona however changed our lives completely and made a lasting impression on our souls. We could even say that the meeting itself was a great insight and real enlightenment. Leon Moscona revealed to us such a majestic picture of the Universe and such possibilities for spiritual realisation, that we were truly amazed and inspired. It was difficult to believe that Heaven could give us such a great blessing. The more and deeper we penetrated into the essence of his Teaching and Cause however, the more convinced we became that this, on first impressions, modest ordinary human being, is an inexhaustible source of spiritual ideas and living mysteries.
As we understand now some of the main aspects of the New Metaphysics, which come through the Teaching of Leon Moscona, in comparison with the existing spiritual traditions, are as follows:
1. Integration
The spiritual traditions accept integration on an earthly level based on the good will of the people.
Leon Moscona develops the metaphysical basis for the integration of all world religions. He presents the religions as different spiritual worlds, introducing different models of the Universe in accordance with the "cosmic-spiritual seasons" (the different historical epochs) in the evolution of humankind. His Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem is a comprehensive vision of the Kingdom of God with many mansions, where the spiritual world of each religion is such a mansion. The Divine Masters, Founders of the religions, are different images of God, the Oneness, the Absolute Origin of Being. In a similar way as the white colour contains within it all other colours, they manifest different aspects of God and reveal different spiritual worlds coexisting together.
2. The Path
The spiritual traditions show the individual path of liberation for every human being.
Leon Moscona shows the path of liberation for humankind as a collective entity. The initiations in the past were possible only for a few because they required enormous effort, even living an ascetic life. Now the mystical path and the esoteric secrets are open for all who choose the spiritual direction in life. Due to the present world situation, humankind as a whole has to make the quantum leap – to enter into the Kingdom of God with many mansions. For this purpose the Heavens traced the Path of Ascent for humankind as a collective journey based on the integration of all religions and the new metaphysics of the spiritual reality.
3) The Initiation
The spiritual traditions reveal one or another spiritual world to the Initiates in each one of them.
Leon Moscona reveals a monumental picture of all spiritual worlds, which could be contemplated simultaneously, in one single act of illumination.
4) The Goal
The spiritual traditions lead towards liberation, enlightenment and merging with God.
Leon Moscona, in addition, reveals the way for co-creation with God. The human beings as channels of the new creative impulse of God (Revelation 21:5) could participate actively in the creation of the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth.
5) Spiritual Direction
The spiritual traditions lead human beings towards the higher spiritual worlds.
Leon Moscona introduces the Path of the Divine Rainbow, which leads to the higher spiritual worlds, but also helps to bring the Kingdom of God on Earth. Thus this Path balances the spiritual ascent and subsequent descent of humankind as mediators from God helping the evolution of all Kingdoms of Life on Earth.
6) Masculine and Feminine Universal Principles
The spiritual traditions have at their base the Masculine universal principle.
Leon Moscona shows the important role and the new place of the Feminine universal principle in our epoch, complementing the Masculine universal principle. He reveals the mystery of the Divine Wedding, which gives birth to the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth.
7) The Apocalyptic Events
The spiritual traditions emphasise either the negative apocalyptic aspect of the End of Time, the Judgement and the event of the New Coming of the Divine Masters, or their positive interpretation, but only as expected events in the distant future.
Leon Moscona emphasises the positive aspect of the apocalyptic events as the greatest blessing for humankind here and now (as described by St. John in Chapters 21, 22 of the Book of Revelation). For this purpose however the people have to embark on the path of spiritual ascent and a 'critical mass' has to be reached.
8) The Concept of History
The spiritual traditions emphasise different aspects of time in relation to human history: for instance, in Hinduism the accent is on the past Golden Age, in Taoism the emphasis is on the eternal cyclical present, in Judaism and Christianity the emphasis is on the future, anticipating the Coming of the Messiah or the Second Coming of Christ.
Leon Moscona integrates the past, present and future in one wholeness through the entry of humankind into the new cycle of existence (in the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth). This new cycle integrates the past (gathering the fruits of initiations from all world religions), the present (meeting the New Coming of the Divine Masters and participating in the Divine Wedding) and the future (co-creating with God).
The list of new archetypal ideas in the Teaching of Leon Moscona could easily be continued. But more importantly for us is, not only the ideas themselves, but also their realisation, the process of their experience and growth in our souls and spirits. At many gatherings, in emotional lectures, prayer meditations, sharings, inspired by the Divine Presence and the Living Word of Leon Moscona we experience the majestic mysteries of the Divine Wedding, of the Reality of the New Heaven and New Earth, we contemplate the new appearance of the Divine Masters and the personifications of the Divine Feminine and we send their glorious light out into the world. In such sacred moments of holy communion with the Living God, the whole space around us changes, it becomes alive and transforms itself into a Divine Temple, filled with the Holy Spirit. There are no words with which one could express this majestic mystery – the greatest blessing, which the Lord gives to "his beloved children".
The main aspects of the New Metaphysics, described above, are not only new ideas but a whole and complete Teaching and Cause of the Spirit of Truth. This Teaching is a new revelation which comes from Heaven as a living impulse for the elevation of humankind onto a higher level of existence.
Our epoch is a turning point in the evolution of humankind. Now humankind as a whole has to adopt the spiritual approach and embark on the path of ascent to higher levels of consciousness. In order for humankind to make this crucial shift there is a need for an empowering spiritual impulse from the higher worlds which could move humankind along the path of transformation and spiritual evolution. This impulse comes now on earth through the Teaching and Cause of the Spirit of Truth revealed by Leon Moscona. We believe that Leon Moscona is an Avatar of Synthesis who offers a creative spiritual programme for the new Millennium.
Krasimira Ivanova
I am convinced that the spiritual work of Leon Moscona is of strategic importance for our time and helps towards the effective resolution of some of the main religious, cultural, educational and ecological problems in the life of contemporary humankind. He offers a rich spiritual Programme for the elevation of the life of human beings to a higher level of consciousness. This Programme also opens great possibilities for spiritual creativity and discoveries.
At the base of Leon Moscona's Programme is a revelation which he received about the transformation of the world on all levels - from the macrocosm to the microcosm. In the spiritual work of Leon Moscona this revelation goes through various stages of 'materialisation', starting from mystical insights and finishing with concrete social action in the world.
First his revelation took the form of new Metaphysics, describing the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth. Then, based on this, Leon Moscona developed the Nine-Fold Rainbow Path, which leads to the new reality. This was followed by the launching of a spiritual Movement for the 'awakening souls from the four corners of the Earth' to embark on the Rainbow Path and to journey to the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth. Finally he envisaged the results of the successful unfoldment of the Movement which could affect the Destiny of people, nations, cultures, even the whole of humankind. (See book The Testament of Truth – Manifesto).
The purpose of these important metaphysical, spiritual and socio-cultural events was to activate the great Divine blessing for the salvation of humankind coming at the End of Time from the "One Who sits on the Throne and makes all things new" (Revelation, 21: 5). In this way Leon Moscona deciphered and activated the positive, constructive and creative aspects of the Book of Revelation.
The New Metaphysics
At this critical time in human history, through his spiritual work, Leon Moscona introduces new metaphysics of the world. He sheds light on the mythological events of the End of Time, the Second Coming, the Divine Wedding in Heaven and the entry into the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth where humankind will start its new cycle of existence. Thus he traces the metaphysical, metahistorical and metacultural transition from the old to the new metaphysics.
According to Leon Moscona's visions we are now at the end of time and this is a critical period in the life of humankind. Humankind cannot endure in the long term if it doesn't comply with the Divine laws and the Divine Path of evolution. So, in order to survive, humankind has to neutralise the influence of the dark forces. The present 'Babylonian civilisation' has to fall and a new civilisation, that of the New Jerusalem, has to emerge. The New Jerusalem civilisation is a symbol of the reality of the Kingdom of God 'with many mansions' based on the Source of Light.
The New Cycle of Existence is directly connected with the Second Coming of the Divine Masters and the manifestations of the Divine Feminine who are leading us to the Kingdom of God. In order to survive and to undergo a spiritual rebirth we have to meet the Second Coming of the Divine Masters and to follow the Gospel of the Divine Mother as well. This New Gospel helps us to bring the Kingdom of God on Earth and to develop life on all levels of existence as a Divine Temple (see the book The Second Coming, The Gospel of the Divine Mother).
The Nine-Fold Path of the Divine Rainbow
In his inspiring work Leon Moscona traces a new spiritual Path for ascent to the new reality. It leads humankind through a process of spiritual development and transformation. The Nine-Fold Path of the Divine Rainbow is a precise and well-developed path given specially for our time (see the book The Second Coming, Part Two). This Path is the Path of ascent to higher levels of consciousness and awakening of the Divine essence printed in every one of us.

The Nine-Fold Path of the Divine Rainbow is a precise and well-developed path given specially for our time (see the book The Second Coming, Part Two). This Path is the Path of ascent to higher levels of consciousness and awakening of the Divine essence printed in every one of us.
In the past the Path of ascent to higher levels of consciousness was only for a few chosen people; today the Nine-Fold Path of the Divine Rainbow becomes a Path for hundreds and thousands of people, for all humankind. The remarkable feature of this path is that there are no restrictions on those who want to embark on it: everyone, regardless of race, culture, religion, social status, education, etc. could embark on it and could return to the original Divine unity in the Kingdom of God where there is a special place for all God's children.
Following the Path of the Divine Rainbow, which Leon Moscona traces, we enter into higher levels of consciousness and we start living with greater purity and high moral values. By developing our virtues and qualities, we start living in the reality of Divine love and we blossom as Divine souls: we begin to love God in ourselves, in the family, the friends, our nation, all humankind and everything which the Lord has created – Nature, the Earth and the whole Universe. Warmed by this love we start working for the elevation and enlightening of all human beings and kingdoms of life on Earth.
People who open their consciousness to God, to Divine Love, Wisdom and Truth, reach a high point of their evolution. On the journey on the Nine-Fold Rainbow Path we could realise the full potential which the Lord God printed in us, we could enter into the Kingdom of God as cosmic-spiritual beings, mediators between Heaven and Earth, remaining still in our daily life but in the most rich and fulfilling way. What is required for this is only the desire within us because the blessings are not given by force. Of course it is a long process but as any path this Path of Enlightenment begins with the first step.
The Movement
Today we are witnessing how Leon Moscona's unique vision has developed into a powerful programme and now gradually inspires a planetary Movement. Groups and people in Bulgaria, Ireland, Switzerland, Germany and other countries, with great love and joy, work for the realisation of the Testament of Truth. The main purpose of the Movement is to change the present situation in the world and to sow the seeds of the New Jerusalem civilisation.
A great cycle of life on Earth, full of difficulties and suffering, is coming to a close and humankind is given the opportunity to enter into the reality of the New Heaven and New Earth, for which the Bible speaks, as the New Humankind. The Lord God changes everything for good and the drama of suffering, joy, historical and spiritual events, everything which humankind has experienced and continues to experience is the energy which will elevate it to a higher level of consciousness. The work of Leon Moscona helps to direct this energy for the entry into the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth.
The spiritual work of Leon Moscona is like a source of living water. Those who drink from it receive faith, energies, power and blessings for a better life on earth. I am firmly convinced that the spiritual contributions of Leon Moscona open great possibilities for spiritual discoveries and self-realisation.
Appreciation for the spiritual work of Leon MosconaProf. Elena Michailovska
I have known Leon Moscona for more than thirty years. I knew him when he was working in the Institute of Musicology in the Bulgarian Academy of Science. Then I was a witness to the defence of his quite unusual PhD Thesis "Introduction to the Categorial Analysis of Musicology". It was unusual because in it Leon Moscona succeeded to break from the official rhetoric at that time, adopted even by the most gifted researchers, and to open new horizons for research in the theory, philosophy and cultural history of Music.
I am mentioning first this early work because, recently, by chance a well-known and respected researcher in the sphere of Social Sciences spoke to me at length about how he came across the "author's abstract" of the Introduction to the Categorial Analysis of Musicology and how much it helped and influenced his present work "Sociology of Music".
In other words, even from that time, thirty years ago up to today, I am a constant witness to the strong influences, which Leon Moscona had and continues to have on various people. These are influences in both scientific research areas and in much wider aspects of life, which direct our attention and our consciousness towards the higher truth and spiritual realities. From this point of view I would like to emphasise specially the influences which Leon Moscona has on our daily life, daily personal contacts and communication, because the latter could be and has to be spiritualised constantly. This is a great help for all of us - to search in our professional scientific fields and to find the connection with a higher spiritual truth and the relevant worlds of Divine origin. These influences – scientific and spiritual - I experienced myself many times from Leon Moscona. His creative ideas were coming to me during the years through my communication with him but always with a strong spiritual presence. For this I am infinitely thankful.
In the early 70's, in the depths of the socialist ideology in Bulgaria, Dr. Leon Moscona started to develop his ideas of a General Theory of Culture. This was his way to overcome the existing communist ideology and to contribute to the understanding of human culture. It cost him a lot of time and energy but his efforts paid off – he developed a precise scientific culturological apparatus which replaced the ideological approach with adequate analysis of any human culture as a socio-cultural organism. Soon the results of his creative work were implemented successfully in many areas – in the history of Arts, in Architecture and Town Planning, in the fields of methodology, philosophy and typology of cultures.
I really like and appreciate highly the books of Dr. Moscona (The Second Coming, The New Epoch of the Holy Spirit and Bulgaria, The Testament of Truth - Manifesto) but with this I would like specially to underline the way in which he tried always to transform the written text into dynamic existential ideas of the greater spiritual field of life. This field requires the awakening of our consciousness and our sensitivity for the higher and more important meaning of our existence, here and now, on this Earth (whether in Sofia, Dublin, or any other place on the planet).
Over a long period of time Leon Moscona worked to develop a new "integrative mythology" in the field of the spiritual life of humankind. The books The Second Coming and The Testament of Truth – Manifesto fulfilled this purpose. Now one could even speak about the General Theory of Religion, which could have profound effects in promoting harmony, mutual understanding and communication between the representatives of all world religions. This Theory, presented in the form of a Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem, could truly make a "unique contribution to progress in research or discoveries about spiritual realities".
From this point of view the spiritual development in the life journey of Leon Moscona appears now much more clear and purposeful. When twenty years ago he decided to consecrate himself completely to spiritual work and for this purpose he left his Institute, even the country - still closed in its totalitarian regime – many people here in Bulgaria didn't understand him fully. Then he was a Senior Scientific Collaborator, with PhD in the History of Arts and, based on his general culturological achievements, he could have had a good academic career, even in the communist system in Bulgaria. He chose however to emigrate to the West, to live like a "monk in the world" and to open a completely new chapter in his life in order to serve the Lord and humankind as a whole.
Time and history confirm his choice and justify the difficult path, which he undertook. Today it is even more clear that, despite the social environment and the conditions of life, the deepest meaning of his scientific and spiritual work remained true to the higher spiritual values. This is the meaning, which is expressed not only in books and ideas but in style of life as well in which smaller or bigger communities of friends and followers are developing all the time around him. For all these people the truth in science is important and significant only when it is also the truth for the Divine reality and providence.
As a result in the person of Leon Moscona we have not only a very creative culturologist and philosopher, but also a living example of a devoted worker for the awakening of humankind, who reveals new spiritual realities. This is why I strongly support his nomination for the Templeton Prize and sincerely hope that he will be awarded this noble prize.
Randi Coray and Karl Zschiegner
We would like to endorse the nomination of Dr. Leon Moscona for the Templeton Prize. We are familiar with the books of Leon Moscona and participate regularly in his Summer Mystery School in the sacred Bulgarian Mountains of Rila. We believe that he has an important spiritual Teaching and essential visions, which could make a deep impact on humankind and its future evolution.
One of the main contributions of Leon Moscona is his presentation of the unity of all world religions. He has a deep knowledge of the essence of the world religions and their interconnection on many different levels. In his Teaching and in his personal presence one feels the respect and the equal worth of each religion. In the depths of each religion we are not separated but one in the same God: "Altogether the religions reveal the ultimate reality of the Kingdom of God with many mansions. This gives great unity in diversity and diversity in unity in the spiritual life of humankind: all world religions glorify the One God, "Who was, Who is and Who is to come" and each religion does this differently." (L. Moscona)
For our contemporary world Leon Moscona's Teaching brings an important message. It opens a tremendous spiritual space and love for every human being. Now we are fighting each other in the name of religion, convinced that only our religion holds the ultimate truth. The insistence upon this uniqueness is the root of so much hatred and conflict between the people. In his Teaching Leon Moscona shows the metaphysical unity of all world religions through the majestic Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem. In this form he reveals the reality of the Kingdom of God with many mansions, which are the spiritual worlds of the religions. This vision could contribute significantly to peace, harmony and mutual understanding between the representatives of all religions.
Our world needs the spiritual Teaching of Leon Moscona and the Truth which reveals the Oneness of all religions: “People with awakened souls exist in all world religions and they form the esoteric spiritual community of humankind". "All religions come from the same Divine source and lead back to it." (Leon Moscona).
This is a well-known truth in any world religion but Leon Moscona expresses it in a new metaphysical language, in new unifying visions of the spiritual reality. This opens great possibilities for new spiritual discoveries in the field of typology of religions and their metaphysical unity.
Now humankind is going through a process in which the people realise more and more that we are not separated from each other but form one Divine wholeness. Every step in the awakening of the individual consciousness influences the whole process of change. For the outcome of this process Leon Moscona uses the beautiful mystical symbol of the Rose of the World (a symbol introduced by the Russian mystic Daniil Andreev). When the Rose of the World blossoms, all religions come together because we have reached the consciousness of Oneness and Divine Love. In this mystical state there is a feeling that the past, the present and the future come together: "When the opening of the souls of the nations begins and humankind realizes that it is one Divine cosmic-spiritual organism, the Rose of the World will start to blossom. The Rose of the World is a poetic image of the integration of all religions, of all spiritual paths and traditions. Each one of them is like a petal of this cosmic Rose with an exquisite spiritual fragrance. It is a symbol of the heart centre of all humankind, which now opens and begins to blossom. The beauty and fragrance of all spiritual paths and traditions come from the depths of the collective heart of humankind – the centre of its Divine origin in God springing from the Universal Soul. This heart contains inexhaustible potential, shines with all the colors of light and love, testifies to the infinite and passionate, always new and deeply moving Divine Love. By fulfilling the Testament of Truth, this sacred heart of humankind will be opened through the great blessings of the Living God, Who creates everything new." (Leon Moscona, The Testament of Truth - Manifesto, p. 70)
The fundamental principle of Leon Moscona's Teaching is that all things have their beginning in unconditional Divine Love. This is the ultimate source of human evolution as well: "All of Creation springs from the Absolute Cause with limitless Love. All things have their beginning in Love. Love is the seed, the impulse, the energy, the strength for growth, the driving force of evolution, the true source of life. Creation is Divine magic, a magic of Love, and everything in existence is born out of the Divine Love of God" (Ibid. p. 16)
There is a deep longing in every human being to experience their Divine origin and to grow in Divine Love. Through the spiritual work of Leon Moscona the realisation of our Divine origin awakens. In his Mystery School we feel that the source of his Teaching arises from deep spiritual experiences, mystical visions and unconditional love.
Leon Moscona's Teaching is innovative, encouraging and stimulates spiritual research and personal growth. It is a Teaching from heart to heart, for the unity of all religions, for peace, love and harmony in the world.
The Spiritual Contributions of Leon MosconaMihail Georgiev
The contribution of Mr. Moscona for the development of the spiritual culture in the world for the past 30 years is exceptionally big, multi-faceted and impressive. Mr. Moscona is one of the spiritual leaders of our time and his books represent a priceless contribution to the spiritual treasury of humankind.
Mr. Moscona has published three books:
1. The Second Coming
2. The Testament of Truth – Manifesto
3. The New Epoch of the Holy Spirit and BulgariaStructurally, the books are developed on a very high level. In them, from a theoretical and methodological perspective, he discusses in detail the most important problems in spirituality of our time and develops a programme for overcoming the spiritual crisis in contemporary society.
The book The Second Coming came as a result of many years of work in the sphere of spiritual culture. It contains enormous spiritual data, which shows a very broad understanding of the evolution of the spiritual culture of humankind for the past few millennia. This book is of a great value because in it for the first time, in tune with the spirit of our epoch, Mr. Moscona has formulated and introduced many new spiritual ideas. Of special interest are the presentation of the Nine-Fold Path of the Divine Rainbow, the Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem and the understanding of the sacred dance Paneurhythmy, created by the Bulgarian spiritual Master Beinsa Douno, as the new type of spiritual practice for the coming New Epoch.
The books of Mr. Moscona fill an enormous vaccum in contemporary spiritual culture because in them he has gathered and appreciated almost all the spiritual experience of humankind until now and traced the paths towards the New Golden Age. From a spiritual point of view these books are extremely important not only because they reconstruct the spiritual experiences from the past, but also because they trace the path towards the dawn of the New Epoch. In them he presents the eternal Divine Truths and the path towards the New Initiation, which is achieved by following the Path of the Divine Rainbow and meeting the Second Coming.
In his books Mr. Moscona also presents the essence of the New Human Being, New Heaven, New Earth and New Jerusalem. He not only anticipates but works practically for the dawn of the New World Religion, based on a New Gospel and the Third Testament. The Third Testament is the Testament of Truth manifested by the new coming of the Divine Masters who lead humankind through the Twelve Gates of the Heavenly Jerusalem towards its Centre.
Of special interest is the accent on the process of Initiation, or on the "crown of initiations", as the way for the spiritual Disciple to enter into the metaphysical system of coordinates of the Heavenly Jerusalem. Mr. Moscona describes some of the most important Spiritual Symbols of the Initiations at the cardinal points of the Mandala of the Heavenly Jerusalem in their co-ordination. The dawn of the New Epoch is revealed in the light of a new integral mythology and a new sacred Space, in which the mysteries of the immanent and transcendent merge, as the sacraments of the Earthly Church merge with those of the Heavenly Church. In this respect the books of Mr. Moscona are especially actual because the contemporary epoch is the threshold of the coming spiritual transfiguration of humankind who on this Path will attain the fruits of the universal Tree of Life.
In his books Mr. Moscona describes the ascent to the top of the Sacred Mountain and the growing of the Universal Tree as synonyms of the process of spiritual perfection. This process consists of Nine Steps which lead to the transformation of the earthly culture into a celestial culture. This transformation could be achieved in the framework of the Cosmic-spiritual School, the task of which is to transform the earthly consciousness into a celestial consciousness.
I dare to state as well that the work of Mr. Moscona is completely unique of its kind despite the fact that it is based on the spiritual experience of humankind accumulated over millennia. Many of his ideas are very close or overlap with the ideas of Freemasonry because he describes the development of human life as building a Divine Temple of Spiritual Light. The building of this Temple is a task of people having different religions, speaking different languages, participating in different spiritual traditions and cultures, but united by the idea of return to the Kingdom of God, or restoring the Temple of Solomon. All of this brings the level of Mr. Moscona's books to a very powerful manifestation of new spiritual insights and revelations in tune with the search of Free-Masonry Light.
One of the innovative features in the books of Mr. Moscona is the description of spiritual phenomena through the prism of participation of the Human Being himself in co-creation with God. The vast historical and cultural frame presented in the work of Mr. Moscona, as well as the analogies with previous and later epochs, give to his spiritual research an exceptionally actual geo-political and culture-identificational context for our time. His work confirms the possibility of spiritual harmonisation of the Inner Being with the Outer Being, especially through the methods of the Paneurhythmy, which is one of the pearls in the crown of the world spirituality in our time.
The Importance of the Teaching of Leon MosconaVirginia Boianova, Veselin Radkov
Today, at the beginning of the XXI century and the new millennium, the attention of more and more people is directed towards human virtues and rediscovery of the great spiritual values in Christianity and other world religions. The dialog between Eastern and Western cultures is active and as a result of this the interest towards various spiritual traditions and teachings is developing intensively. In this regard the Teaching and the Cause of Dr. Leon Moscona from Bulgaria is a unique and priceless contribution to the spiritual treasury of humankind. He metaphysically integrates the world religions and brings a new creative impulse from Heaven for the evolution of humankind. His Teaching is very important for our epoch because it helps the fulfillment of the cherished dream of all spiritual traditions – humankind to become God’s people living on sacred Earth.
The Teaching of Leon Moscona traces the Path to higher levels of consciousness. He brings new creative impulses for the development of human life as a Divine Temple on all levels, beginning with the individual, going through the family, the nation and finishing with the whole of humankind. In this Temple peace, love, joy, purity and high ethics have to remain forever:
• It is not by chance that Leon Moscona pays a special attention to the smallest unit in society – the family. The family, through children determines the future of humankind and the whole Earth. Now thousands, even millions of children live in stress, in the pouted atmosphere of towns, flooded by the stream of contemporary material culture. The appeal of Leon Moscona for a new spiritual impulse in the family has an enormous social importance. Children are the youngest, most fragile and refined souls, who came on Earth in great purity and innocence from the Angelic world, the world with sacred atmosphere and Divine presence. Leon Moscona reveals the reality of this Kingdom of God, the coming new Solar culture and shows the way in which the family and the whole of society could be built as a Divine Temple. In it parents, teachers, psychologists, doctors and social workers are like Divine workers helping every child to develop their Divine nature and to mature into a wonderful Tree of Life –Sons or Daughters of the Living God.
• In this regard Leon Moscona also pays a special attention to the contemporary youth. The young people often do not understand the purpose of their life, their individuality and the way of self-realisation. In a series of lectures presented to teachers and students of Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski, Leon Moscona discussed the way of finding the real meaning and values in life and how to embark on the path of self-realisation as cosmic-spiritual beings. In a very persuasive and subtle way he revealed the role of self-education and the social importance of this process. He opened before the young searching people endless horizons of spiritual worlds and great possibilities for self-realisation. Thus he is helping them to realize the Divine impulse within, which the Lord God saw in every human being. Leon Moscona reveals important methods and spiritual practices for self-realisation of the young people as Divine souls and spirits, able to find their unique place in the universe. In this way they could become worshipers in the Temple of the Living God, channels of the Divine Will for the descend of the Kingdom of God on Earth and for the entry into the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth in the coming New Golden Age;
• Leon Moscona introduces the Nine-Fold Rainbow Path, following which every human being, regardless of age, sex, social status or level of spiritual development, could build all spheres in their life as a Divine Temple where the Holy Spirit comes to remain. Then ‘the human being lives in all three worlds of Creation simultaneously: in the physical world with an illuminated physical body and personality, in the celestial world with a soul in full bloom and in the highest Divine world with an awakened Divine Self.’ (The Testament of Truth – Manifesto, p. 63) By following the Path of the Divine Rainbow the human being will achieve not only the highest goal of the world religions but will become able to receive the initiations of many Divine Masters (a Crown of Initiations) and to co-create with God;
• Leon Moscona reveals the unique mission and the historical task of various nations on Earth. Every nation has to activate its National Soul and National Spirit-Guide in order to bring on the altar of the Living God its endless spiritual treasures which the nation has accumulated/developed over centuries and millennia;
• Leon Moscona consecrates his life and his spiritual activities to the metaphysical integration of all world religions with the highest humanitarian/humanistic purpose – to elevate the whole of humankind on a higher spiritual level. Humankind has to become one spiritual family living in the reality of the New Heaven and the New Earth as the New Humankind. Thus if Christ is a manifestation of the principle of Divine Love on Earth, then the World Teacher Beinsa Douno reveals the principle of Divine Wisdom, while Leon Moscona introduces the principle of Divine Truth on all levels of human existence.
The Teaching and the Cause of Leon Moscona has an enormous actuality and importance for the destiny of contemporary humankind. Its implementation will open the possibility for achieving Divine harmony between the microcosmos and the macrocosmos. It will help the development of new creative spiritual abilities in human beings, making them citizens of the whole Universe. The Teaching and the Cause of Leon Moscona is an integration of the spiritual evolution of humankind during the Hindu-European cycle and at the same time it brings the impulse and shows the direction of human evolution in the new cycle of existence, achieving a New Golden Age, with a New Solar culture.
The spiritual work of Leon Moscona is innovative and without doubt could have a strong positive impact on humankind. It could contribute significantly for the survival, prosperity and elevation to higher levels of consciousness of humanity. In order to realize the Divine Plan, the Divine impulses coming through Leon Moscona have to reach every awakening soul on Earth.
