• Free Explanations and Directions for the Use of the Book, The Testament of the Colour Rays of Light In this small booklet, Beinsa Douno and a close disciple of his give instructions for a deeper understanding and effective use of the light/color meditations in The Testament of the Colour Rays of Light. 24 pages. "Success depends on the green colour. Refreshment is included in that colour too. Poverty is born out of an insufficiency of this colour, but its surplus leads to covetousness and stinginess. Therefor when the green colour assumes large proportions, we must turn to the red colour which will tone it down. The inordinate desires in this world produce the green colour. Self-denial means getting rid of the desire for useless things." "All disputes are due to the lack of colours. For example, the lack of the red colour leads to hatred. Let us make use of light, for everything depends on light which is essential to life. We shall include all colours in this life and then the seven spirits will unite and humanity will return to its original source."

• The Viola Bowman Collection Viola Bowman studied with Beinsa Douno in Bulgaria, before moving to the United States. She is one of the pioneers of Paneurythmy in this country. She has written 2 books about Paneurythmy, and provided a translations of the book Breathing, and of the Paneurythmy lyrics as they are sung in Bulgaria. Now, as she lives the later years of her life, she has offered her books on consignment for the furtherance of Paneurythmy. All profits from the sales of these books will go towards establishing a non-profit Paneurythmy Foundation to further the transforming work of Paneurythmy in the United States and elsewhere.
• Paneurythmy Volumes I and II. These books contain much of the deeper spiritual philosophy behind Paneurythmy. They include Viola's story of her time with the Master, a profound interpretation of Beinsa Douno's teachings on Paneurythmy and right living, with many quotes from the his teaching, the music and lyrics of Paneurythmy, as sung in Bulgaria, and instructions on the Paneurythmy. Volume II focuses on the Sunbeams and Pentagrams, and includes a special, updated version of the Pentagram symbol given by Beinsa Douno, that I have not seen anywhere else. The movement instructions may not be as precise as in other books, because the initial intended audience was school children. But as sourcebooks for deepening one's understanding of Beinsa Douno and Paneurythmy, these manuals are unparalleled. Vol.1, 120 pages. Vol.2, 82 pages. Volumes 1&2 are sold together for $25. The Master on the Divine Mother Love theme in the Sunbeams: "Until now, man was living for himself. But from now on Mother Love, as an impulse within the consciousness of humanity, is urging an improvement for everyone without exception. Therefore, all people must act together for the well-being and happiness of the whole of humanity". "Unconditional Mother Love is the door through which man can enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Christ also pointed out to us that Love is the only path for salvation of the human soul." "Your Mother is coming."
• Breathingby Boyan Boev. A close disciple of Beinsa Douno conveys a variety of breathing exercises for health and transformation, including various body movements, meditations, visualizations, etc., to be coordinated with the breath. 77 pages $12.00 "When you become sick, breathe and sing. If you hear that somebody is sick advise hime before anything elso to breathe deeply. If he doesn't know how to breathe he lies on his back and says, 'It is God's will.' which means he doesn't wish to make any effort to cure himself. If he thinks as God thinks he will make this effort." "You cannot change your thoughts if you don't change your breathing and vice versa... If man has an incorrect tempo of breathing he loses his correct thinking." "Breathe deeply, calmly and slowly if you want your affairs to go well." "Make an experiment with inhalation to think about the Light and in this way connect with its energies. These energies exist in the air from where you have to extract them. While you think about the beautiful scent of flowers, inhale the air. When you think of certain words as you breathe, you will see how each one has a different influence over the pulse of your heart. When man is inspired by highly elevated thoughts and emotions, the beating of his heart is rhythmical and the pulse is correct." "Inhale and exhale while thinking that your are accepting a white color, that this color falls over you as a shower. Then your inhalation is rhythmical. You count to four and with every inhalation and exhalation you will think about a white color and purity. It is advisable to do this exercise outside in the pure air if you have a garden."
• An English Speaker's Guide to The Bulgarian Lyrics of Paneurythmy, Volumes I and II. In small, easily portable form, Viola presents the Bulgarian transliteration and English translation of the Paneurythmy songs as they are generally sung in Bulgaria. Most of the Paneurythmy lyrics came not from Beinsa Douno, but as inspired lyrics through his disciples. He explained that various valid versions of these lyrics could come into play in the future. Except for those lyrics that came directly from Beinsa Douno (Thinking, Aum, Rising Sun, Ti Si Me Mamo), the version given here is a different version from the English words given by Vessela Nesterova, which were independently inspired. 44 pages $6.00 Joy of the Earth"Joyful the earth in ecstasy, Spins along its heavenly path, Like a maiden pure and gay, Much adored by her chosen man. She is longing for the sun, Stretches out her arms toward him, He caresses her from afar, Kisses his beloved earth, Overwhelmed, she bursts into song."__________________________________________________________________________________________

"There was a young girl in Knjazhevo, who during the time of the battles and conflicts that the Bulgarians had in1918 was wounded because a piece of cartridge had hit her arm. The doctors made her five or six surgeries but could not get the cartridge out and finally decided to cut the arm. Her family came to ask me what to do. I know the effect of the sunrays on iron and said, 'Let her expose her arm for three to four hours daily to the Sun. ' And really one day after three to four months of constant sun treatment the metal piece appeared from the cartridge, fell out and the child was relieved...The Sun produces electricity and magnetism and by that it makes the best surgery. " "Do the following experiment - you are sick, weak in spirit, but it is winter, you can't go out and have a walk. Imagine you are climbing a mountain peak, which you well know, you have been there and experience vividly the whole hourney as if your are taking it at that moment. Climb up the peak and get back.

In the same way, you should consider whether your thoughts, your feelings and actions go in line with your development. When you come across a thought or feeling, you should immediately look into it; where to place it - to the left or to the right. Disciples must know how to sort out, where to place each one of heir thoughts, feelings and actions. Some disciples will succeed twenty-five percent in sorting out, others - fifty percent, still others - seventy-five percent, and the most capable ones - a hundred percent. Disciples must work on themselves to increase constantly this percentage, so that they do not fall into mistakes and delusions."

      • The Way of the Disciple, Nine talks given by the Master to the disciples of the Universal White Brotherhood, at their annual convention, August 1927, "Isgrev", Sofia, Bulgaria, 351 pages, $15 See Review
      • In the Kingdom of Living Naturetranslated by Vessela Nesterova, This book of talks by Beinsa Douno covers a variety of interesting and useful topics, relating to right relationship with the spiritual forces contained in Living Intelligent Nature. "Living nature in its totality is a manifestation of rational forces of different dgrees, which live in perfect unity. They all have a supreme purpose which we call Nature, Law, God, Reason - or that which is without limits or beginning in which all things move, exist, and develop." "Decide sincerely to think clearly, to feel nobly, and to act disinterestedly. When you make this experiment, you will see the results."120 pages, hardbound, $12. (note: These teachings, while fundamentally universal, were also addressed to the mindset of early 20th century European esoteric viewpoints. Consequently, a number of racial references, relating to the concept of a future 6th race, and the white race as a forerunner of this race, are contained in this book. These references, which have parallels in other esoteric teachings from those times such as Theosophy and Anthroposophy, may be seen as offensive from a modern perspective. Please note that Beinsa Douno's fundamental thrust is the liberation of all people, not just white Slavic people. As an example, he played a key role in saving the Bulgarian Jews from the Holocaust. Also, elsewhere (see The Wellspring of Good), Beinsa Douno emphasizes that each race has a unique and valuable contribution to make to the evolution of humanity. As a teacher who addressed many differing needs and perspectives, he suggested that you take from his offerings what works for you, and leave the rest. If you can overlook the small portions of his teachings that were peculiar to his time and place, there are many treasures to be found in this book) return to top
