It's time to tackle a age old question , where do we go after we are finished with life?

Spoilers ahead ,

Sadly I cannot answer that , since I'm still here and anything other than a real experience is questionable at best, even experiences are really murky, since everyone has their own world views and tends to see the world through their own lens.
People tend to repeat patterns and mistakes , without even thinking of the underlying reasons behind the happenings in their life.

What I want to do is mystify you a bit , so we can at least think in different ways , compared to how our lives lead us.

So if you are here now , I give you the option of taking your time and having some hopefully impressive people show you what life is for the select few that break the cycle of repetition.

Hello and since my posts are delayed to infinity as it is :) , without further ado. I give you two Mystics that have their own life to speak for the unimaginable, the infinite and the connections between.

"The Light"

This is Peter Deunov , known to most Bulgarians as a great spiritual teacher.

And to the world at large as Master Beinsa Duno.

He was born in 1864 in once of the main cities of Bulgaria , the coastal city of Varna.

Since his life was spent mostly learning and afterwards teaching and creating once of the most pervasive branches of spirituality in Bulgaria , with many followers across Europe and even the Americas.

Most known for his pan-eu-rhytum dance the pentagram philosophy(Love, Wisdom, Truth, Justice and Virtue) and the many books written based on his lectures and records from students and disciples.


If you want you can read on wikipedia or this site dedicated to him


I will give you a piece translated from his lectures on the topic of the vegetarian diet :

There are many rules one has to go by when eating, if he wants to harmonize the powers of life in his organism.
There are many rules which man has to learn, if his way of eating is to go by his spiritual development.
Eating is not a process, isolated from the spiritual life of man. If one is to lead a egoistical life and has accepted the vegetarian diet only for personal reasons, what good will that do?
If a person is ready to destroy a brother for his own interests,what kind of a vegetarian is he? Consequently, one shouldn't just employ mechanically a given way of eating, but should also change his thought patterns and psychological changes within himself.
He should put good and Love in the center of his being. Cultivate characteristics within himself that make him a conduit of Love. By a way of conscious eating one can cultivate a series of characteristics, ie. He should lead a conscious way of life, for which is required knowledge and will to emptily that knowledge. For generations man should eat vegetarian to educate the cells of his body, to stop killing. For instance , if you tell someone that nothing good won't come out of him, it's like you have committed murder in another world and you will be held responsible. What vegetarian is someone that constantly murders in that way,constantly talking behind people's back and criticizing, constantly judging?
A vegetarian should with his eating cultivate within himself higher thoughts and feelings. Eating is a process , linked with the expression of Love in the physical world. What the food of a man is will be his blood - so will his thoughts. What his thoughts are , so too will be his feelings. What his feelings are , so will be his deeds. It is said: "By their actions you will know them". Incorrect eating, as well as incorrect thinking and feeling equally bring man to death.

"The Dark"

And now for someone far more mysterious , one for who less is known and more is told , if you haven't heard of the monk that defied reality more than once , time and space when he had foreseen his demise and that of the Royal family of Russia and the future turmoil.

He is non other than Rasputin , the village drunk , traveling monk , sexual freak , or whatever else that is pegged on him by people.

Since he is more of a legend than a person , many stories have been made for him, in reality he was a strange man , deemed holy in his time, able to mystify almost anyone, with a mad stare that pierced your soul, with words like silk and with a smell of a boar, he was able to move from the village life to the Royal Court , heal the prince and get all the ladies :D

Afterwards he even governed the nation , when the King moved away to fight on the fields during the first WW.

Shortly after a coup was set against him and he lost his life, followed by the collapse of the Monarchy and the death of the entire royal family.

This "meme" does put everything into context, of how resilient he was , even if he wasn't the best of statesmen.

Some videos , 1st of his early life in his village, 2nd when he healed the prince

And I wanted to link a video, sadly the one I had picked was removed from YouTube , so there is another documentary 48:05 Who is Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin.

Comic relief :D and a poem of mine

The Light

And in the light I will find my shadow

Always right behind my back , waiting

for the time when it can take me and

show me all it's pretty things, everything

it has gathered walking right by my side

I will always have a shadow , til I fade into

The light.

very musical piece favorite of mine
Sound of Silence

poetry by me, inspiration by you, credit where credit is due,
