Righteousness

Peter Deunov(Beinsa Douno, the Teacher) was born in the village of Hadardja near Varna, Bulgaria (then part of

the Ottoman Empire) on July 11, 1864, the third child of Konstantin Dunovsky and Dobra Atanasova Georgieva. His father, Konstantin Dunovsky, was the first Bulgarian teacher in the region before becoming a Bulgarian Orthodox priest. He was one of the first to present the liturgy in Bulgarian, the language of the local people, rather than the traditional sacred language of Greek.
From 1932 to 1944 he developed the Paneurhythmy exercises: a sequence of exercises performed to music, to achieve inner balance and harmonization. These exercises continue to be practiced in Bulgaria - especially during August in the Rila Mountains - and, to a lesser degree, throughout the rest of the world by different groups of followers.

ABSOLUTE PURITY – LECTURE OF BEINSA DOUNO

There are many ways to understand Nature, but one is the Way to enter the world of Truth. Truth is the purest of worlds, in which Love manifests itself. Truth is the purest form of Love. What is Love? – The purest essence of this form. Truth is the highest manifestation of Love! The utmost freedom is achieved through Truth. The brightest Light is attained through Love. In an esoteric sense Love is substituted by Righteousness. If you seek warmth and heat, look for Righteousness. Whenever Righteousness comes into the world she raises the physical temperature. Righteousness is the strongest heat of Love, and Love is the essence of Life. When it is a question of Life, you have to know that there is nothing higher than Life. Therefore, Love, Wisdom, Truth and Righteousness are these spheres or worlds, through which Life manifests itself. What is meant by the word life at present is that human consciousness, which contains constant, incessant aspiration for achievements. When we say that we live, we imply a constant aspiration for something, which we are trying to achieve. When a child is born, its consciousness awakens instantly and it begins to desire, to want something from the objective world. If we consider the world of feelings, we are also searching for a certain object in it. If we consider the world of the mind, there we want to study, we are searching for an object there too. Life also exists in the spiritual world and in the Divine world. Therefore, Life manifests itself in all spheres and worlds, but in different forms.
  Consequently, the first task of a person is to formulate a clear idea of God. When you speak about God, you have to attribute all beings to His consciousness – from the smallest to the biggest ones of whom God takes equal care. 
I say, if you want to understand God, you have to be pure. It is said, “Only those with a pure heart will see God.” Sufferings, hardships, misfortunes will come. You are amidst the sea where big storms rise up. These storms will affect the ship as well: they will rock it to one side, then to the other, but harmony and peace must reign inside. If the waves manage to enter the ship, even through the smallest of its cracks, the latter becomes already subject to destruction and death. The negative, impure thoughts from which you should guard yourselves enter in the same way. What about you, do you not contaminate when you travel through Nature? 
No, purity is required of everyone in all aspects: physical cleanness, mental purity and spiritual purity. You say, “Everything is up to us.” It is up to you to observe Absolute Purity in your entire life. Life itself, however, depends on God. If you want to be healthy and happy, let every feeling, every thought and every action of yours be permeated with the idea of Purity. Only in this way will you receive the blessings of God.

Paneurhythmy, created by Master Beinsa Douno, is based on a deep knowledge of the Laws of energy, radiation, frequency and the correlation between tone, form, movement, color, geometry and an idea. Movements correspond to tones, and as we dance the concepts of giving, receiving and renewal, we allow the Earth and Cosmos to do the same. Through us, the Earth opens her portals, her points of power, to give of her own energies, to receive of the Light. The Cosmos itself receives and is blessed and gives more.

Where Peaceful Waters Flow

The clouds break forth the streams of light 
To dance upon the earth,
And cradled in the sands of time, 
Comes a newborn babies'' birth.
A gentle breeze blows through the night, 
It whispers through the grass,
And ripples on the water form 
As rain glistens on the glass.

And you listen to the sound, 
The Lords' presence all around.
He summons us to go 
Where peaceful waters flow.

A rainbow arcs across the sky, 
A promise is displayed.
The graceful flight of a butterfly, 
It takes my breath away.
The autumn leaves in their splendor 
Fall gracefully to the earth,
And stars proclaim their song at night, 
What is their beauty worth?

And you listen to the sound, 
The Lords' presence all around.
He summons us to go 
Where peaceful waters flow

A JOURNEY

Ithaca

When you set out for Ithaka

ask that your way be long,

full of adventure, full of instruction.

The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops,

angry Poseidon - do not fear them:

such as these you will never find

as long as your thought is lofty, as long as a rare

emotion touch your spirit and your body.

The Laistrygonians and the Cyclops,

angry Poseidon - you will not meet them

unless you carry them in your soul,

unless your soul raise them up before you.

Ask that your way be long.

At many a Summer dawn to enter

with what gratitude, what joy -

ports seen for the first time;

to stop at Phoenician trading centres,

and to buy good merchandise,

mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,

and sensuous perfumes of every kind,

sensuous perfumes as lavishly as you can;

to visit many Egyptian cities,

to gather stores of knowledge from the learned.

Have Ithaka always in your mind.

Your arrival there is what you are destined for.

But don't in the least hurry the journey.

Better it last for years,

so that when you reach the island you are old,

rich with all you have gained on the way,

not expecting Ithaka to give you wealth.

Ithaka gave you a splendid journey.

Without her you would not have set out.

She hasn't anything else to give you.

And if you find her poor, Ithaka hasn't deceived you.

So wise you have become, of such experience,

that already you'll have understood what these Ithakas mean.
