SPIRITUAL JOURNEY 2014: The castle town Carcassonne

The castle town Carcassonne in the heartland of the Cathars is so tawdrily beautiful that it served Walt Disney as a model for the castle in his movie “Sleeping Beauty”. Plunging oneself into the throng of people within the castle walls one is taken back to the Middle Ages immediately. Then one is standing in a small town, which hides behind mighty battlements which have already given shelter and security to the Cathars.

Already in the Middle Ages this faith group, of whom it is said that they have the same origin as the Essenes, has been a thorn in the institutional Church’s flesh, since they refused unwaveringly to acknowledge Jesus as God’s son, but “merely” considered him to be a very enlightened human being. Also gender equality was one of their big concerns and, therefore, male as well as female itinerant preachers propagated the Word of God.

Also the inhabitants of Carcassonne had to make a heroic stand against the superior troops of the king of France and the Pope, nevertheless, the fortress was won in 1209. In the course of our spiritual journey 2014 we are going to have plenty of time to explore Carcassonne and to follow the tracks of the Cathars.

The castle St. Hilarion in Northern Cyprus

In Cyprus we visited a beautiful spot in the Turkish northern part of the island: the magical castle ruins St. Hilarion. This saint, who is declared to be an Ascended Master nowadays, allegedly was buried there and a small Byzantine monastic church erected above his grave. In the 8th century a castle was built in this strategic place, which seems to merge with the rocks at first glance. Even nowadays this place is so romantic that it served Walt Disney as a model for his movie “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. After all, some people still claim that the castle once belonged to a sorceress who charmed her visitors to sleep in a secret garden and afterwards robbed them. We couldn’t feel that, but we were able to sense the energies of Hilarion in the region of the former church all the better.

SPIRITUAL JOURNEY 2014: The Cathars in Toulouse

During the Albigensian Crusades in the Middle Ages the counts of Toulouse were on the side of the “dissenters”, namely the Cathars, who are often mentioned in the same breath with Mary Magdalene and her successors. The town originally carried the epithet “city of hundred towers” and in the course of the religious wars the counts of Toulouse supported those who were persecuted for their faith and harboured them. Hence the town was number one on the hit list of the king of France and the Pope. Although the inhabitants of Toulouse were able to brave the siege for some time, they ultimately had to bend to the superior numbers of the attackers.

We are going to begin and end our spiritual journey through Languedoc in Toulouse. Those who know me well won’t be surprised to hear that I have chosen two beautiful hotels, so that the delightful and aesthetic parts do not go short. On the last day of our circular tour we are going to have the opportunity to visit the most interesting buildings and places in Toulouse, and there is going to be ample opportunity for shopping and rambling about the city.

Mary Magdalene in Paris

In Paris a whole quarter is named after Mary Magdalene, namely the district MADELEINE. The church which bears her name is based on a Greek temple hall and was built in the years 1764-1845.

At first glance the main altar depicts Mary’s ascension to heaven and her arrival in Heaven, respectively – but it could be Mary Magdalene as well. After all, “Mary” was not a name as such in her lifetime, but rather a title inside her religious community. And a statue which is called “The Wedding of the Virgin Mary” could, therefore, depict the marriage of Mary Magdalene and Jesus just as well.

Maybe another question poses itself to the visitor when admiring the huge dome above the altar: Is Mary Magdalene depicted next to Jesus even twice? She is clearly discernible on his right, since one of her symbols is the alabaster jar which she is holding in her hand. But who is the woman on his left? Green-red attire and long strawberry blonde hair at least are unmistakable hints at Mary Magdalene. After all, it was her, to whom he appeared first after his resurrection.

A wonderful week draws to a close

Day 6 of our spiritual holiday seminar week on Majorca: During the last two days the participants kept working hard on the healing of their inner child. By means of exercises, meditations and channelings and with the aid of the symbol cards and the Aura Essences profound transformation processes took place in a short space of time. During leisure time enjoyment, relaxation and a lot of fun were on the agenda.

Tonight we are going to deepen and cement the changes that have taken place in this week in the course of a final ritual. The bottom line of a participant is, “This few days have been more helpful than years of conversational therapy.” Tomorrow we are going to conclude our week with an excursion to the Majorcan capital Palma. I am already looking forward to the next holiday seminar, which probably will take place in Tuscany…

A walk along the beach

Our seminar week „Heal your Inner Child“ is very intense and many participants avail themselves of the opportunity to continue working on their issues with Lutz Mück in single sessions in the evenings. By this means many old blockages and emotional injuries from childhood can be healed in this week. Therefore, it is important to have a day of recreation in-between the seminar days. We used yesterday’s forenoon to go on a beach stroll, some of us even went swimming in the still quite cold water.

Family Constellations with Symbol Cards

Also yesterday the seminar participants started their day with an abundant breakfast on the hotel terrace directly above the beach. Then we went up to our seminar room – which has a beautiful view over the ocean – and intensively “worked” on the healing of our inner child with the help of the energized symbols and essences. Today family constellations took the center stage, which we performed with blocks of wood. A lot got to be realized, delivered and consigned to healing. The symbols not only revealed tender subjects, but they also operated energetically by means of the morphogenetic field and transformed old and sometimes unconscious blockages.

Since experience has shown that this kind of work is very profound, I always have very experienced therapists with me in my seminars. Lutz Mück is always there for the group, whenever too strong emotions should surface. If requested, he also continues to work with the participants individually in single sessions at the end of the seminar day, in case the issue that has come up in the seminar should need further attention.

At lunch time and at the evening we always relax, either by going on a beach stroll, by going to the restaurant, by going swimming (if the sea is not too cold) or by a cozy get-together with the group. Yesterday after the seminar we were visited by Beate Gliedt (spiritual education), Ines Hupfeld (spiritual nanny), Sandra Puhl (spiritual midwife) and Lilly Wong (spiritual healing of femininity), who exchanged views with some women of our group who work in similar fields. And today our excursion is on the agenda. The weather seems to be perfect – so let’s take pot luck and see what the day has ready for us!

SPIRITUAL JOURNEY 2014: Toulouse is much more beautiful than its reputation!

There are so many formidable places, landscapes and sites in Languedoc, the southwestern province of France, that it was very difficult for me to plan a travel route containing the most impressive spiritual highlights of this region. The biggest challenge was to determine the place from where we are going to start out on our circular tour, since the storybook town Carcassonne, which we are going to visit, can only be approached by plane from big Central European countries. Therefore, those travelers who come from smaller airports would have to make a stopover in Paris. And whoever has already had the opportunity to enjoy a changeover at the Parisian airport “Charles de Gaulle” knows that he/she can well do without adventures of that kind.

For this reason, I chose Toulouse as the starting point of our circular tour. Though this town is situated outside the Languedoc region, it nevertheless is historically very important in connection with Mary Magdalene and her successors. Since my schooldays it has been etched in my memory that Toulouse is an ugly industrial town where mainly planes are built. Therefore, before my visit to this metropolis, I still had some reservations about it. However, already after the first ramble about the city I fell for its charms. The picturesque Old Town with its alleys, squares and water courses did not only attract us, but also cast a spell over many other people. The college town is vibrant, people sit out of doors, meet each other in nice little restaurants or parks, and there is a multitude of beautiful shops and a lot of cultural life. Toulouse definitely merits being the starting- and endpoint of our circular tour!

The seminar week has begun

I have been looking forward to this and now the time has finally come. Today was the official beginning of our seminar week in the southeast of Majorca, in the small bay of Santanyí. Our mutual days are going to be spent under the guidance of the Ascended Master Sarah Tamar, the daughter of Mary Magdalene and Easa/Jesus. The main focus of this self-awareness seminar, in the course of which we are going to work with the energized symbols of Mary Magdalene and her companions, is going to be on the healing of the inner child, and all participants are aware of the fact that the following days are going to be very intense. In the inaugural meditation I got to transmit live channeled messages from Sarah Tamar, Mary, Mary Magdalene and Joseph to the group. I am already looking forward to tomorrow and I am anxious to know what the next few days will bring.
