In the Kingdom of Living Nature translated by Vessela Nesterova Hardbound 120 pages | 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." (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.) | About Peter Deunov: Peter Deunov (also known as Beinsa Douno) was a spiritual teacher of rare attainment, who taught in Bulgaria during the first half of the twentieth century. He was born July 12, 1864 near the Black Sea. From 1888-1895 he studied medicine and theology in the USA. Returning to Bulgaria, he withdrew mainly into the mountains to prepare for his Divine work.
In 1897 he began teaching. In 1900 he set up the "Fellowship of Light," based on Divine Love, Wisdom, Truth, Justice, and Goodness. From then on he traveled throughout the country, teaching and healing, eventually establishing his base in Sofia, where a community gradually grew up around him and regular lectures were given.
He passed over on the 27th of December 1944 leaving a following of 40,000 people. Peter Deunov left an invaluable spiritual heritage in his numerous talks and lectures, prayers, formulas and songs, physical and breathing exercises, spiritual methods and practices for group work, self-development and conscious living.
