«Do not seek and you shall find»

The plant spirit revealed to me the mystery of the magic carpet and soon I began to fly over the landscapes of my meditations and dreams. Some years earlier (2004) I received a symbolic message regarding this connection: I had been practising the dance of the whirling Sufi-Dervishes for some time and in this context became aware of the initiation into Surat Shabd Yoga (spiritual connection on light and sound) and it occurred that I saw a caravan of camels passing by on the sandy dunes in front of my inner eye, when I was told the five sacred words (simran) during the initiation.
