Falco and the temples of human kind
« on: June 30, 2013, 07:50:00 PM »
'Falco' - an intalian artist and mystic, past away recently. He was the initiator of the creation of the Temples of Human Kind and it's surrounding eco/spiritual community of Daman Hur. Their filosofy and style is a bit too new-agy for my taste, but without a doubt, their temples and village is the most fantastic piece of art I have ever been ... into.

I'm not sure whether he had any astonishing attainments, but without a doubt he promoted mysticism and did create fantastic art. An promote an alternative lifestyle.

Here is link to where the temples can be viewed online: http://www.damanhurwelcome.com/index.php/en/
There is no way of getting to see the details and beauty of this place without being there, but the intensity of effort might shine through a bit.

This is the notice of his death: http://www.damanhur.org/component/content/article/43-home-articles/1814-con-te-falco
This is his biography: http://www.damanhur.org/component/content/article/43-home-articles/1818-biography-of-falco-oberto-airaudi

Thank-you, mapeli, for posting information about Falco and his community Damanhur.  He might have been a mystic.  One would have to study his work to find the evidence of the fruit of the contemplative life to be sure.
