Spiritual Orbs at Gebel Silsila

Well my guests had a very unusual experience to get to Gebel Silsila. First of all, the day before we were suppose to go to Silila i asked the driver if he knew how to get there. The driver is a very gentle, soft hearted man and when he looked at me with eyes of an innocent child while he answered me in his double dutch English "I don't know". I bursted out of laughter, it was so funny, first of all the way he said it and second the way he looked at me. On the other hand and in the same time it crossed my mind "how on earth are we going to get there? So I do trust my spirits and thought....well, we are going to be allright tomorrow morning, I always am in Egypt.

When we got out of our hotel I bumped into  Hofny (brother of my agent). He is really a nice and gently young lad. He has the same handicap as the driver, they both don't speak English. As far as I understood, my agent had sent him on the train to Aswan at 4 am, to be with us and to guide us to Silsila.

So that morning our driver got lost,  bless him and so we ended up hiring two local fishermen and their boats to row us across the river to the tombs. We had to take this small metal boats, as their felucca, which they usually take to bring people across, was out of order. It was a real laugh and we all enjoyed the experience immensly. This area of the Nile is the narrowist point, and was once considerd to be the place where the soul of the nile resided.

 

We enjoyed a quiet meditation inside the tombs it was a very happy spiritual experience, and if you look closely you can see spiritual orbs in the room around Hans.

 

Usually when I do visit this particular temple, there is always something unexpected going to happen. Thanks to the spirits and the nice guardians overthere, we had a great day!

Gebel es Silsilah & the Speos of Horemheb

We journey to the south of Luxor to the rock cut monuments of Gebel es-Silsilah,where it was said in ancient times the spirit of the nile resided and the pharoah would awaken it with ritual and offerings, at this point the Nile was at it's narrowist, in the east of Gebel es silsila are quarries but mortuary chapels have been cut into the rock of the west, these chapels have been built so near to the river that they flooded during the inundation of the Nile from the month of May to August, since the dam has been built at Aswan the chapels no longer flood. Because these chapels are so close to the river and cut from rock the Nile could flood each chapel every year which ultimately guaranteed new life and renewal for the soul of the deceased.
On the west bank is a rock cut shrines for Horemheb, Seti I, Ramesses II and Merenptah.

Many of the Talatat used by Akhenaten were quarried from here, and used in buildings at Luxor and Amarna.
In the rock-cut sanctuarys of Horemhebs speos seven gods sit at the back of the chapel that become illuminated twice a year, in the same manner as the four gods in Ramses temple at Abu Simbel

When I have travelled to Silsilah with my groups I have been amazed by the awesome feeling and renewal of energy that surrounds us, and I am sure it cannot be a coincidence that I havve been drawn to this place,as everything happens for a reason.

I have found out that Silsilah in Arabic: سلسلة‎ is a word meaning chain. The meaning of this word in religeon refers to a graduate who acted as a master having his own students. (I am a spiritual guide helping my students and guests on a spiritual path of enlightenment and wisdom) a chain of masters is known as Silsilah, the certification of a master having proof of his chain of masters was the only acceptable legitimation. I find this information very interesting, as I was so drawn to visit this area, and also it makes me wonder about General Horemheb, who was infact a general in the army during the rule of Pharoah Aye, and as his general Aye made him the next pharoah, so you wonder if Horemheb also chose this area as a symbol of ligitemy of his right to rule.

My next trip to silsilah is on 17th december with a group which I am looking forward to, if you would like to no more about my trips to egypt, the next one starts on 9th december 2009 please look at my website on http://www.freewebs.com/spiritualegypt
