Green stone or The Salons is a place in Rila Mountains with very strong and pure cosmic energy. There are some big stones on it, organized in a way that make the space between them look like salons or rooms. The Occultists see there classrooms, where beings with higher consciousness, invisible for us, learn their lessons. This is the place where Earth and Cosmic teachers gather to learn the history of our planet. On that hill is part of the Cosmic Library of Agartha. There are many marble stones in the area, and the rule is that you have to bring as many stones to The Green Stone, as you want to take from there. "Give, to receive. The view from there is unusual and stunning - giant rocks, covered with little white marble stones, the whole impressive Malyovitsa part of Rila in front of us, and from the other side - a perfect view of The Contemplation Lake, The Lake of Purity and the flat place near the fifth of The Seven Rila Lakes, where every year on 19th of August, gather thousands of people to celebrate The Divine New Year.

They are followers of the Bulgarian spiritual leader - Peter Deunov (Beinsa Duno), they are dressed in white and they dance.

This is the story about the Green Stone and I will let you judge for yourself how much of it you should believe.

I didn't dance, neither I was dressed in white, but I was there and witnessed the event happening near The Seven Rila Lakes from my save from the crowd spot at the distant Green Stone. There were probably less than 10 tents there, some of the people were a little strange in a good way and it was an indescribable "event" just to be there. This is actually the reason why I am writing about it so late, the other is that I have only some photos from my phone, but still I think that they worth sharing.

We hiked to The Green Stone in the afternoon of 18 august and arrived at the right time to prepare our tent and to watch the sunset. At some point it looked like it was raining everywhere else but not here, so the sky was amazing!

It is not a touristic spot, it is close to a pretty unpopular pathway and most of the people that pass by there, don't even notice it. Few people change their way, pass by the Green Stone and sometimes they just come and ask "What is this place?! I can feel something different". No, it is not a joke, yes, the energy is exactly that strong.

People do believe in these occultist stuffs or just feel that it may be the truth, so they take care of the place pretty well voluntarily.

This man, for example, have been there every year on the same date since 36 years. He was cleaning the place from horse "traces" and gave us a long lecture to be careful there and not to leave any traces. He called us "The Guardians of the Fifth Salon" :D and told us everything about the place, about the energy and so on.

According to Beinsa Duno on that day - 19th august the Sun sends to the Earth the most powerful flow of spiritual energy.

Beinsa Duno took his students to a spiritual camping around The Seven Rila Lakes for the first time in 1929 and in 1936 he began creating the paneurhythmy dance. The seven lakes symbolize the seven chakras and the place is considered to be one of the energy centers of the Earth.

Every year on 19th August, we - the souls, sent to the Earth to learn, receive a gift - a new load of energy for growth and creativity and we have the free will to reject or accept it. And our connection with the universal love kind of depends on that choice.

The Paneurhythmy (the dance) on the next day performed by the people dresses in white. The followers of Beinsa Duno call themselves The White Brotherhood. This is not a religious sect. Happy New Divine Year.

Leaving was not easy, as you can see from the photos, it is just too beautiful there. The blueberries and raspberries around the pathway were not helping also and we spent an hour or two more coming back because of them. They were looking more like cherries or according to my friend - like pears. :D.
