A Quest for Community

A personal journal of my first journeys to Damanhur & Auroville.

Tuesday, October 07, 2003

Our guides explained to us that one of the instruments we'd be using that evening was the set of spheres located in the Hall of Spheres, which was easily accessible from the Hall of Mirrors. Eight large (~ 2-feet in diameter) crystal spheres were arranged in eight mosaic niches along two long walls. A ninth sphere is located at the central point of the narrow wall opposite the entrance. Each sphere is filled with a different colored exotic alchemical liquid, which I've heard said were passed to Damanhur by an esoteric alchemical lineage that had been distilling the liquids for hundreds of years.
