Damanhur…
   A 4th Dimensional Journey

By Darlene Sacca

The founder, Oberto Airaudi, was born in Balangerrp in 1950. From a very early age Oberto, aka Falco (Falcon), displayed exceptional paranormal and healing abilities. His spiritual and personal growth has continued throughout the years with research and study, awakening memories, developing artistic abilities and rediscovering ancient knowledge. In 1975, Oberto, a modern day philosopher, healer, writer and painter founded the “Horus Center’ in Turin in order to present the results of his research to the public and set in motion a more intense phase of experimentation. As the story goes, Oberto, little by little retrieved his memories and opened to higher and higher levels of wisdom and knowledge. He then gathered 12 other visionaries and began building the community and the underground Temples of Damanhur. The building of the Temples Of Humankind began in 1978 and was done entirely by hand.

EXPERIENCING THE TEMPLES

The Temples of Humankind are the visible and tangible example of architectural esoteric thought; touching the meaningful aspects of human existence. Spirituality, philosophy, science, contact with the Divine and interaction with other planes of reality can be explored within this design. The Temples contain scientific knowledge, architectural mathematic, as well as the relationship between colors and the play of light. The Temples of Humankind are declared a work of art by the Soprintendenza alle Belle Arti (Fine Art Authority).

This was the most majestic experience I have ever had. The Temples of Humankind are dedicated to all humanity and are a most precious realization from the deepest sense of our being. Entering the underground Temples and passing through the corridors is a passage into oneself; it is a pilgrimage open to all creeds and convictions. The physical and emotional experience of reverence was so empowering as we absorbed our surroundings in the Hall of Mirrors, Hall of Water, Hall of Earth, and the Hall of Metals. These elements deeply touched our hearts and souls, our mind and senses. Surfacing was our memory of our connection to all and the light beauty that shines within each of us. The Temples of Humankind carry this name because they are devoted to the celebration of creativity in all forms.

In the Temples we laughed, we cried, we participated in sacred ceremony, we experienced cellular activation, and we were in grace. This was truly a journey to another world outside the realms in which we normally live. We were in our bliss. We were home, our spirit was so open that we could feel Divine interaction.

Inside the Temples are many dimensional realities, and I mean this literally. One of the most fascinating fields of research and exploration by Oberto has brought forth a great development to the “Selfica”. (Selfica is a discipline which makes possible the concentration and direction of vital and intelligent energies.)

Falco created structures based upon the spiral and the use of metals, colors, and specific geometric systems and substances. These structures are able to host intelligent energies. These particular energies, called “Selfic,” are living forms — broader forces that can move from one reality to another — linking different planes of existence. Selfic energies belong to a sector of our universe characterized by ultra light speed. When they enter our plane of existence they undergo a sort of deceleration. Creating a structure for a Selfica is like giving the self a body to use.

The largest Selfic structure on the planet, which weighs hundreds of tons, is hosted in the Temples of Humankind. It is said that among its many functions, one of the most important is that of a huge planetary antenna able to provide optimum conditions in which to talk and interact with Superior Forces. The use of Selfica in the Temples has enabled the development of new fields of research linked to healing therapies and the exploration of time and space travel.

The other aspects of our journey were just as profoundly life changing. We discovered our interaction with the plant world and how they can sing with instruments that are capable of detecting electromagnetic variations on the surface of the leaves and roots. These impulses are then transformed into music through a device created in Damanhur linked to a synthesizer. The experience was simply magical.

This wondrous journey into a world of such beauty and Divine energy brought about a new life perspective. I found myself amazed as we discovered our artist within… especially in my ability as a sculptor. Everyday, for ten days, we had extraordinary journeys. This experience of Damanhur has truly changed my life forever. Yes I am still married, I still produce television, and I still have an advertising agency.

Life is good and as I move forward there is a whole new level of existence. I find a depth in my commitment to living life and not just showing up. My current project — production with a new television show called XtraOrdinary Realities, and my advertising agency is now focused on promoting people, places, products and events that have intrinsic value to the whole of life.
