Temples of Humankind


Day 8-Wednesday (19/12/12)

I drove us to the, “Temples of Humankind”. It was a long trip on the motorways where the speed limit was 130 kms/hour but even when I got up to 130 kms/hour cars were still speeding past me like I was standing still. They surely must have been going 170 kms/hour, at least. It was scary, cars were tailgating and high beaming if people were overtaking. We saw some snow on the way but didn’t seem to be the coldesAlps could be seen in the distance and looked surreal as they appeared to be floating on the clouds! There were a few tolls to pay on the way and we arrived at Ivea and missed one toll road so our directions that we printed in Australia were no good to us after that.
t day. I think it was only about 5 degrees. The snow covered alps appeared to float on the clouds.


We stopped in Santhia and asked directions. It was funny because there were different people who argued with each other about the best way to go. I was a little confused as my Italian was good enough to follow the debate. In the end a very nice lady said she would take us part of the way as she lived in the village just before where we needed to go. We followed her to her village and she motioned the road to take. We made our way up the mountains and asked for directions again at a mechanics garage. We were going the right way and the man, knew we were going to Damanhur.



We arrived at Damanhur 30 minutes before our tour was scheduled to start. I was so relieved to finally be here! It was such a long journey from reading about this place on the internet at home in Australia, to actually be here! It was almost like a dream! We had to be let into the parking area through a boom gate. We were told that if we smoked, we had to go outside the premises as smoking was not permitted anywhere in Damanhur.


Everyone seemed happy and smiled lots. We had a drink in the café and went to the visitor center to sign an insurance waiver before we started the tour. We were joined by an American, who was from Houston, California. He asked if we knew of it and we said we did but chuckled to ourselves because of course we knew where it was! We did geography at school and as Australians believe that we were much more educated and worldly, than most Americans! J



Our guide was one of the original Damanhurians who explained many of their beliefs briefly and how the community was structured politically, economically, and spiritually. It sounded like a well organized community who regularily re orginised itself and altered their constitution when things were at their peak and not when things were dwindling because they understood the energy to make change was at it’s greatest when things were going well. It certainly made sense to me and challenged my thoughts on not changing or fixing something unless it’s broken! When things are broken, the energy, enthusiasm and passion, just isn’t there. It made me think of how it relates to The Hive. They even have their own currency that can be exchanged for Euros and vice versa. Much like the Vatican, not that I went there! She explained that when they first formed, New Age ctivities like astral travel, meditation, was new and they pioneered research into all these fields. I know that all these activities were not new but Old Age traditions that were rehashed into a streamlined and marketable, so called “New Age” for the mainstream. Some of these traditions were lost to most of mankind but there were always keepers and practicers dotted in numerous cultures across the world They believed that the temples were chosen to be constructed because of 4 energy lines that intersected in that place. These energy lines were not Ley lines but lines that connected Earth to other planets where ascended Beings lived. Through meditation in this place they believed that they could communicate with these Beings and receive inspiration from them. These Beings were believed to be Atlanteans amongst others and inspired their selfica machines that were built into the temples and also used for treating numerous health conditions and promote good energies to be present in your home. (peace,inspiration,etc) It was a lot to swallow and my skeptical and logical side took over but I struggled to keep an open mind and listened to her without questions or comments, as she spoke. By the way her name was Magpie something and we were joined by a German lady named Seahorse something. They somehow chose their animal names or it was given by their Atlantean Guides, I wasn’t sure. Everyone had one!

Anyway it was a lot to digest from plant communication and plant songs PranaTherapy to expression of spirituality through dance. There really was a lot that they were into and was really quite interesting. They researched these things in laboratories and were even developing a way of creating meat from a single cell. It was explained that they were trying to make a culture much like the way yoghurt is made! They would patent this if successful and create more income for the community.




Anyway, enough about the talk but I will certainly look into Damurian research further. We saw alters to the Earth, Fire, Water and Air. The Fire altar was the most interesting as it was an open altar surrounded on both sides with pillars. They celebrated Full Moons here and consulted or asked for directions by the Oracle from the other worlds. The buldings were painted with large flowers, plants and featured Daanurians who had passed away. The reason she gave was to always remember them and instead of looking down to see nature, it reminded them that nature was looking down on us and we look up to nature. I liked that idea!
There were many labyrinth walks and even their own stone circle which wasn’t astronomically aligned from what I could tell.
Chalice design of centre, writing given by Atlantean guides which is taught to people by the guides not by the founder.




We were then taken to the Crea centre where we saw art studios, Selfica research labs, medical centres that practice orthodox and unorthodox type treatments. Genetic conditions could be detected from saliva and preventative treatments would be prescribed. All food in the supermarket and café, was tested for pollutants before deemed suitable for sale.





















We were then driven up the mountain on a very narrow road to the temples and was greeted by Falco, the initial founder of Damanhur. He seemed friendly but went back into his home after the greeting. We were led into the temples and asked not to touch the
walls or artwork contain in the temples. We were taken through an interesting passageway to an elevator which took us down to the bottom of the temples where we started the tour. I was speechless at the beauty of the temples. There were mosaics on the floor, beautiful paintings on the walls and stained glass windows on the ceilings and most of the doors. It was explained that many of the people featured in the paintings were real live Damanuhrians and only the positive icons. There were many representations of the 4 seasons and the stages of human life experience. We were lead through secret doorways to different temples which was quite fun and brought out child like wonder in me.
