The Druids – A branch of the White Brotherhood…

THE DRUIDS – A BRANCH OF THE WHITE BROTHERHOOD
First: according to the Druids the Teaching chooses the disciple and not the other way around. And this is why they have a rule. The Druids do not allow their disciples to look for and to bring other disciples to the Teaching.
Regarding Justice, they believe that it becomes deadly to the ones who are not loving and strong enough.
In their Teaching there is a special attitude towards the number 3. And this is why I will give you some important rules of theirs, which are in threes, which are contained within the number 3.
For example, in their Teaching there are three Dignities of Wisdom, I will list them:
1.To know of everything.
2.To experience everything.
3.To be away from everything.
I will only hint at them briefly.
To know of everything is the Way in which the disciple is liberated from the endless labyrinths of the ego. This is what this idea means. Only then do they touch the living language of the Invisible, the language of Wisdom. As you have seen, the first law is connected to Wisdom.
Second: to experience everything, this is the method of Love, the method of penetration. Because only Love is the power which penetrates in the Deepest and most Mystical cores of life.
To be away from everything – third – this is the method of Truth. This means to be unattached and free. Why? Because only the free person can enter Deeply into themselves and consequently, even deeper – in Eternity as well. At the same time, to enter into yourself, this means to enter into the Eternity of Truth.
According to the Druids there are three signs that show there is cruelty hidden within a person:
1.When you scare animals for no reason.
2.When you pick flowers and plants for no reason.
3.A very delicate sign and mark, when you ask for mercy and charity for no reason (the matter is when there is no true need).
There are three signs in the person (again, according to them) which show that there is compassion in them. Of course, these things can be meditated upon in order to discover their depth, but these are the deep signs:
1.To understand children’s feelings and pleas (of course, in a Divine way).
2.Not to disturb resting animals.
3.Again a very delicate rule, a rule of the White Brotherhood as a whole: To be sincere with strangers. Of course, here a specific measure of awareness must be achieved, but I will not comment now, I am only presenting this. This sincerity is aimed towards God Who is within the person and observes this sincerity in the person, which is an attitude towards Him.
According to the Druids the Right action is found only where the Truth is known in a Real way. Before I continue about the Druids with the threes, I will tell you something about them in short: all Druids were Celts, from the Celtic race, but few Celts are Druids, this is the Essential thing. The word Druid means Oak and symbolically it means Sage and One initiated in Wisdom.
According to the Druids a True Magus is the one who was born a Magus and for the rest – disappointment awaits.
For the Druids the Word is both a Key and a method of gaining knowledge, which does not belong to this world.
According to the Druids there are three things that Sages avoid:
1.Expecting the impossible.
2.Regretting what cannot be mended.
3.Fearing the inevitable.
These are very important, very precise – I can say with a clear consciousness – Kabbalistic rules.
One Druid Initiate says: “When I achieve blissfulness, I must continue onward, to look for other meaning”. So the meaning of the Druid’s life consists in the Eternal seeking of Truth. This is why I said to you that according to the Master as well, when a person finds the Truth, they continue seeking it, this is an Eternal question.
The Druid-disciple must find within themselves a door which leads to whole spheres of new perceptions and insight. This is their obligation. This is why to the Druid-disciples no ready solutions to spiritual questions were given, and this means that they had to create these themselves in their process of discipleship.
According to the Druids the Deep Reverence towards Truth is a measurement for the quality of our Soul.

THE DRUIDS – A BRANCH OF THE WHITE BROTHERHOOD
(Continued)
According to the Druids the disciple must pass through very big trials in order to enter into Initiation. (Briefly, why this is necessary.) This is mandatory and necessary because when a person is Initiated, they will receive new perceptions of Truth. These perceptions have nothing to do with clairvoyance. Here I only want to remind you that the disciple does not walk on the path of clairvoyance, which is an old, backward degree from the past. Clairvoyance is not the Path of the disciple, the Path of the disciple is much Deeper. I remind again that when the disciple becomes Initiated, they will receive many new perceptions of Truth.
According to the Druids in their biggest disharmony and suffering the Druid-disciple achieves their biggest stability. All of this means that for the Druids, same as in the Teaching of the White Brotherhood, suffering is a necessity because it brings a new spiritual growth. So it is in this world.
The Druid-Master blesses the suffering of their disciple and it is said that this is one of the Master’s key functions, because the unblessed suffering (I only add here) cannot produce reasonableness – the matter is of Divine reasonableness. One unblessed suffering (by a Master) cannot bring this Reasonableness, which turns into Divinity.
The other important moment is that, according to the Druids suffering attacks the weakest point of the disciple and helps them rise and be liberated from this weakness. In the big trial the Druid-disciple gains mastery over themselves and then they earn powerful invisible helpers. (Here is one of the methods for the disciple to gain Powerful, Invisible Helpers.) After they pass the big trial, the Druid-disciple speaks familiarly with the invisible world because the invisible world is already their friend.
As we talked in previous lectures, the Druids’ favourite number is 3 and so I will tell you again, some things connected to the number 3. There are three reasons which can exclude the Druid-disciple from the Teaching, this also applies to the disciple of the White Brotherhood, I will list them:
1.Murder
2.Lying
3.Not keeping a secret, entrusted to them
According to the Druids the person has three faces, I will list them again:
1.What the person thinks of themselves
2.What other people think of the person
3.What the person themselves are – the most important one.
To the Druids silence is a method of acquiring personal Might.
According to the Druids there are three things that require constant vigilance:
1.The hand
2.The tongue
3.Desire
According to the Druids the only way to find out what a true Initiate is, is to abandon all attempts in that regard, because there will be no result.
According to them, Truth goes against the world and the common “truth” in the world is the truth of the snake, the truth of the ego.
They give a measure of whether the person is listening to their inner voice in the Right way. I will tell it to you briefly. According to them, if you are listening to your inner voice in the Right way, you will attain Divine certainty in your life and you will achieve the Right action (this is a measure). So: If you are listening to your inner voice in the Right way, you will attain Divine certainty, not human certainty. I only want to add: With many people, there is a dangerous optimism, a dangerous certainty, which is fed by the mind. The mind also gives a seeming, temporary assurance, an optimism which is worth nothing, not its smiles, not its way of thinking. This is why here we are speaking of a Divine certainty which comes from the Spirit – this is something much more than optimism.
According to the Druids the physical world constantly dwells in the spiritual world. On this matter, in the upcoming lecture I will discuss the occult point of view regarding parallel worlds, so that you can see this very deep question, because one such parallel world is the Tree of knowledge of good and evil, and the True, internal parallel world is the Tree of Life, of which we will speak more next time.
Stonehenge is connected to one of the main Masters of the Druids and to the Druids themselves – we are speaking of Merlin. In short, this is a Cosmic energy Centre of Wisdom, but on earth. For the Druids this is a Sacred area. In this place, the Initiated Druids, in a specific hour and with a specific ritual, enter into very high fields of Wisdom.
I will tell you what the Druids think of the tree, and later I will tell you some very important ideas of theirs for the colours black and white. I will only hint here, I will tell you more further: when the person is wearing white clothing and carrying bright thoughts – according to the Druids – they then become invisible to the dark forces of the astral world. This colour of the clothing and this inner world composed of bright thoughts make the Druid-disciples more independent, unnoticeable and invisible to the dark forces in the astral world. In next lectures I will dwell on this more.
I will tell you here especially what they think of the idea, called the Tree.
According to them the Tree is a symbol which connects the Heaven and earth. They say that leaves and branches capture the Sun’s energy and fruit has another task: conserving the Sun within itself. The Tree sends solar juices into the roots, i.e. in the physical world. This is why they say that Trees are Divine Images. And they say in the end: people are Trees.
According to the Druids a person can become what they think because similar energy can attract similar energy.
Their measure for becoming a True Druid is the following: In order to become a True Druid, you must gain authority over light and darkness, this means you must be beyond polarities.
According to them fear is the first and heaviest chain which binds you on your Path of attaining the Secret.
The next important moment regards only the Druid-Initiates, because they also have a few degrees, same as the Bogomils and the disciples (of the White Brotherhood). According to them the Initiated Druid does not depend on any person on earth. They bear responsibility only before their Divine Conscience. I am saying Divine, not human, not mixed.
In the Teaching of the Druids, the measure is given which attains the Supreme Aim in life. I will say it briefly: If you draw your knowledge from within, you will reach the Supreme Aim. Again, said shortly, like the Master speaks – short, Deep and clear.
I will tell you something, an idea of theirs about the Cup. According to them, the Cup symbolises Mastery because it governs the so-called sea, which means the emotions of the astral. In short I will remind you here of an exercise given by the Master for the one who wants to govern their astral world. One very simple exercise, which despite being simple, is very valuable in its implementation: You fill a cup of water almost to the brim, there must be very little water spilling with very slight movements. So almost to the brim, almost horizontally… And with this cup you start to go around the room, making an effort to not spill the water; you are learning to walk slowly and learning to simultaneously control your hand, the movements and forces of the astral world. It is a very simple exercise, this exercise can be done by anyone who wishes to… And you have heard that some people carry similar things on their head even, so it must be much easier with the hands.
According to the Druids the True discoverer does not look for new land, but for a new gaze at life.
I will tell you something more about Stonehenge: Stonehenge is a Celtic Entrance into the Deep and Sacred Cave within the person. Some time ago we spoke more of the symbol of the Cave, here I will say their idea more. This is an Entrance and in Celtic this is exactly what it means: Portal. Here I would just like to remind you that the Old Bulgarian Sacred language has a direct connection to Sanskrit and Vatan. You might not have studied this language, but it is one of the Deepest Ancient languages, I will not dwell in detail here on its Secrets, on its letters, but it is a Sacred language. In this connection I would only like to tell you what the word Varna means in this old language – it means a Portal, an Entrance, and simultaneously it means a Cosmic Gate. This is why here in Varna many people meet with all sorts of abilities and gifts, with a different kind of exchange. Precisely because here is a Portal, a Cosmic Portal of big Cosmic powers, where these powers exchange and they have their mission in the future. So Varna is truly an exceptional Centre, an exceptional town. But another time… I have an idea especially for Varna, a lecture or an idea that I will dedicate, for the ones who value this idea and this town.
So, as I said, in Celtic – Portal, this also means a Way towards the Sacred Knowledge of the Divine. If we go even deeper, we must say the following regarding this symbol of the cave: according to the Druids this Entrance is the female passive principle (as you see, a very Deep and Mystical matter) and it symbolises the Cave of the world from which the world itself originated. This is the symbol of the Mystical Entrance from the past towards the future. And something else – this is the idea of the Earth-Mother.
According to the Druids the power and Divinity of this Sacred symbol – the matter is of the Entrance, the Portal, the Cosmic Gate, is concealed far beyond the boundaries of this world. So, this world cannot encompass its Depth.
I will give you another measure – of when a prayer is strong, according to the Druid-Masters. One very important measure, as many people are praying and I have observed in occultism – some pray sincerely, some have developed strength of the thought and think that it is decisive; others have developed strength of the heart and think that is decisive. But there is something else which is more important and I want to show it to you through their measure: According to the Druids the spell or the True prayer… (the word prayer in the past meant spell, but later, because this word is a little bit dangerous, they called it prayer – it is safer. But prayer – this is White magic, it is also included in this system of white magic. It is no coincidence that the Master says: Formulas are magical instruments in the hands of the disciple, something very important and requiring a lot of responsibility)… According to the Druids the spell or the True prayer are not a matter of strength and energy, but a matter of Spiritual authority in the invisible world.
According to the Druids nothing must be called good or bad, it is just ‘’something other’’. And according to them: neither light, nor darkness must be called good or bad, they are simply something else.

FERYLLTT
(The Sacred Book of the Druids)
They say: The biggest mistake of the world is the lost discipleship.
The fate of the person is resolved only in self-rising. So the person has to rise on their own, from their inner dwellings – this is actually the idea of the sunrise – they call it self-rising.
In fate, they say, there are currents and whirls which can be studied and re-shaped. This is why the Druids say: Create your future while there is still time. There was not always time. This is why I recently told brothers and sisters this: Right now the smallest thing that the disciple must be occupied with is constant positive thoughts – their lowest level, their smallest level, their bottom – constant positive thoughts. I will not explain here, because it is a long matter, what they create. They create a very distinct atmosphere: they simultaneously create a gentle atmosphere and at the same time an enormous power. But this is another moment, we will explain another time. This is the lowest level – constant positive thought in all conditions.
One of the big Masters of the Druids, he is a Priest called the Priest Faron. The Druids believe that he is reincarnated from the First Solar Race, from the Race of the Gods. He says: “Coming out of destiny happens only through one Great Law.” And then he says: “Development is the Law of one very firm decisiveness.” – Here we are not speaking of evolution, where there is no such law. There the process is slow and it can be prolonged to no end. Development is a Law of a very firm decisiveness. And then he adds: “Let the past be stricken by your decisiveness. Create within you the Great book of agreement; and anyone who resists development will be destroyed.” – This regards those who deny Love, Wisdom, Truth, Impeccability etc.
“Never allow yourself to sink in this black, bewitching world. In this world there gapes a treacherous abyss, a pit enveloped in darkness. In this world Annwn is working.” – Annwn in the Celtic language means the underworldly abyss of destruction. – “A life lived is such only when it has been devoted to the Supreme Wisdom. Whoever has devoted themselves to this Supreme Wisdom they become a Key for other beings. They become a Gate towards higher worlds, just as it happened with Myrddin.” – Myrddin, this is the Celtic name of Merlin, another big Master who is misrepresented in this world. He also says something about the future. He says that the future is concealed even from those Supreme beings who create it within the person. So even they, creating it within the person, working together with the person through Love, even they do not know it. Of course, clairvoyants seemingly know it… but this is another matter.
Ferylltt, the Sacred book, has simple messages. It says: “Be a hunter of insights, because you live in a world amongst unknown forces.”
“Know your own Solar world.” – This is the idea of self-knowledge.
They say: “Words are not simply words, they are messages of energy”. This is why later we
will speak of the language of Christ. He has said one thing, He has invested one energy, and all the bibles from start to finish have been wrongly translated. Absolutely every nationality that you could think of, excluding the Aramaic language in which Christ spoke, and we will give some examples.
They say: “Do not make the new world wait for you”. Of course, the new world is within you,
but – do not make it wait.
Whoever loves Truth, according to Ferylltt, is surrounded by a Sacred wall. The matter here is not of amulets, but a Sacred wall, but you must have loved Truth in a special way, i.e. without any compromise. If you begin to compromise, Truth begins to recede.
“The Secret Power is always found where other powers are not expecting it.” – so says Ferylltt.
They say: “The Sage does not give the question an answer. They give a Key.” – There is a big difference between an answer and a Key. Later when we will be saying something about the Aramaic language, we will see what Christ said and how even His disciples were asking because they cannot understand. And He speaks very clearly, both with words and with energy.
In Ferylltt it is said that only in patience there is observation. Patience captures what is Right out of what is being observed. This is the method of the Sage. So if you ever have a question like this – a little bit more waiting; in waiting, there ripens what is right. Patience is a method of Love.
About fire, they say that the fire within the person is a Sacred Substance. This is the Key through which you read into Annon – this is The Waters of Truth, or as others know it, Akasha. Annon in the Celtic language means The Waters of Truth, or said differently, Akasha. Said another way: Without Fire, without Sacred Love, without this Substance, no one can read in Truth. They can see in the astral world as much as they want to, even pleasant things, but they can never read in Truth.

VICTORY OVER EVIL
(Or understanding evil)
One of the Ancient Sages, the matter is about one of the Great White Brothers who in this world is not presented in the light he deserves at all, even though three books have already been published in Russian. The matter is of one of the Ancient Elders of the Druids – Merlin. Everything that has been spoken so far of him is so shallow, that I am surprised how these things can be presented, but the world presents them… But this is one of the Greatest and Most Ancient Sages and Elders who governs a particular category of consciousnesses and people, one of the Greatest White Brothers and in time he will lead this race, his race, to the White Brotherhood.
He says: “Create yourself while you are in the present, while there is still time”.
From “The Ascending Way” by Merlin
Excerpts from “Ar Havaraya” – Rules of the Living Spirituality by Eleazar Harash
Be Ascending in death.
The Ascending Spirit passes through death and robs it. The Ascending Spirit passes through death unnoticed, because death does not have eyes for what is Primordial, for what is Truthful. It can only capture what is sinful, what has fallen. It does not know that, which is Ascending in the person, because death itself does not have an Ascension in itself.
-Merlin
Be Ascending, without expecting support.
Do not wait for angels to guide you, because you have been before they have been. When you are in the world, listen to your Heart. When you are in the otherworld, listen to your Soul. When you are at war, listen to your foresight. When you are in peaceful times, listen to your observation. And when you are in the biggest tension, listen to your Peace. This is the Ascending Way.
-Merlin
Be a Seeker.
The True Seeker roams in the darkness and does not get lost. The True Seeker penetrates into the darkness and does not get lost. The True Seeker roams in the light and does not get lost. Who is the True Seeker in the person? This is the Ancient Spirit within the person. It pervades the darkness, it pierces the light, it enters into the fire, it swims in water and it always remains whole. It is before the creation of things. Darkness, light, fire, water, are consequences, they are secondary. And the Spirit is Essence, it is Primordial.
-Merlin
Be strange.
Be dark in the Dark and it will lose your trace. Be light in the light and it will lose your trace. Be flowing in water and it will lose your trace. Be careless in the wind and it will lose your trace. Be burning in the fire and it will lose your trace. Be loving in Love and it will know you and it will summon you into itself. The Dark, the light, the water, the wind and the fire do not know you, but Love knows you, because it has the most Ancient Eye. It is the strangest Essence. Be strange like it.
-Merlin
Be strange.
To be strange, means not to evince external love. The strange person conceals their Sacred Essence, they do not sell it externally, in the world. The strange person has escaped from good and evil. They are neither positive, nor negative. They live in themselves and they revere the Quiet.
-Merlin
Be Ancient.
That, which is Ancient within us, is the Secret of our Spirit. Only the Spirit within us knows the methods of Anciency. When our Spirit sacrifices itself in servitude of people, only it knows the right way. People think that such a person has sacrificed himself for them, but he has sacrificed for Anciency. People think that he is close to them, but such a person does not create friendship with people. He is a friend only to Anciency, only to the Truth.
-Merlin
Be Seeing.
To see, this is a life in the invisible. To see, this means to choose your Essence for a Guide. To see, this means to have devoted your life to the Essence, concealed within you. The Essence, which is concealed within us, is seeing. It has no name, it is only symbolic, i.e. Sacredly-Concealed. It is called “The Sacred”. The Sacred is one Sublimely-Bright light. That is what sees within us.
-Merlin
Be Noble.
The Truly Noble person has overcome happiness and unhappiness. Otherwise they cannot be Noble. The Truly Noble person has overcome contentment and discontent. The Truly Noble person is not a person anymore. They turn into a Being without any form. They have overcome the world. They are only a guest in the world, because their Soul has begun to live within the Sublimely-Bright Light.
-Merlin
