«I am the way, the truth, and life" (John 14, 6) says Jesus about himself. What does this statement have to do with the misery of the Crucified in the image of the Isenheim Altar? It is always difficult, even impossible for our minds, to combine contradictory elements into a synthesis. The TRUTH, in other words reality, can only be described in contradictions and only in successive steps. Contradictory statements must then come together in us. First of all, however, we have to experience: That is the WAY. Only then unity will be restored through our individual understanding, which is the recognized experience. LIFE is only possible from this recovered unity. This is the theme of the Cross.

Here, at this point, a decisive opening on our part is necessary. Opening up to spiritual tradition so that what it has left behind can serve us like a map. What could we lose in this? At most, our beloved imaginations. It is not about us taking their testimony with believe. We should not believe anything or anyone. In any form whatsoever, all that can be given to us by others is the assertion, as long as we do not take the exertion to connect the assertions with our own perceptions. Otherwise, how can we tell which statement is right and which is wrong? Only by looking at and verifying the truth with our existential experience in the light of a claim. Is the statement consistent with our experience? Is something within us touched by it, beyond feeling and logical understanding? Could it be a lead worth an experiment to follow

With the second opening, a new dimension opens. The four images become more colourful, more vivid, and the theme of suffering disappears. In this world we would like to start here! All indications are that these images describe more joyful, desirable states than on the first opening of the altar. Yes, it is easier for us to accept that I am the altar!

The Veneration of Mary, the Octave and the Enneagram: The purpose of human being in the creation and the cause of his suffering.

I am repeatedly asked, if the relationships and connections that I point out in works of "Sacred Art" could have been put in them intuitively. I consider this impossible, because of the demon-strable complexity of exact mathematical and geometrical ratios. It would be more of a miracle if such works had indeed been created intuitively rather than as a result of knowledge that we can hardly imagine or understand from our view of the world. Understanding these is the pre-requisite to be able to receive the essential message of Sacred Art.

The soul, which has become virginal, takes a different path than the life that flows out. She does not separate, she does not stand out, she remains connected, remains in the same room, and life turns to her – as the faces and figures in this room show. Mary walks out of the building through another gate: straight into the scene of the birth. That is the mystical path of the soul, which gives birth existence.

The birth of Being takes place always the first time and it happens always in the present. To express this properly is not possible with our language. The Eternal Present has not manifested through the birth of the historic Jesus just 2000 years ago, as it is misinterpreted by the church. This happening is neither in the past nor in the future. It is only possible to express it in the present; it is Eternal Present. It does not just happen on this planet, in this solar system, and it does not recur today, sometime or somewhere. In the creation it occurs The First Time, every time and everywhere. The birth of Being-consciousness takes place out of the actual creation in the present moment.

The scenes of the Altar of Isenheim describe the inner states and processes of man, clothed in Christian images, based on a cosmological model. This model is much older than Christianity.

For our glance, caught in duality, the meaning of the picture is quickly clear: victory of the light over the dark, over the low, and over the aggressive. There is no need to look more closely. We think that we know what is in the picture!

 Such are the descriptions and comments on the picture. But is that really what is depicted in the picture?

This work is one of the most beautiful examples of the expression of the ancient knowledge in pictures, it belongs to our spiritual heritage, one of the roots of our Christian ideas. It was pre-served for us 2'000 years through the explosion of the Vesuvius in 79 BC. It transmits “The Knowledge” in the way of the end of the former Age of Aries: the suffering-attitude of the last 2'000 years of Pisces. In this sense is its expression in a way nearer to us in the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. It is amazing, that this room is the one in the best condition in whole Pom-peii! Holy messages have their own life, and they find the way where they are needed.

Dionysus unites in himself both human and divine heritage and after a process of transformation he is accepted as God into immortality, into Olympus. He is called the "thrice born“. Over time, I realized that Dionysus was essentially the forerunner of Christ. This Dionysus has nothing to do with the run-down popular figure of the drunkard. The knowledge of the octave was obviously known in the inner circle of this mystery school.
