Today in accordance with the customs of the citizens of the Federation to call themselves by animal names Oberto uses the name of Falco (falcon).
Born in Balangero, Torino in 1950, Oberto demonstrated notable paranormal and healing abilities from an early age that he immediately committed himself to developing through constant and rigorous experimentation outside of classical academic institutions. His spiritual and personal growth proceeded throughout the years through study, travel and research, the re-awakening of memories, the development of artistic abilities and the rediscovery of ancient knowledge. The path proposed by Oberto Airaudi leads to the re-awakening of the inner Master through study, experimentation, the complete expression of individual potential and the overcoming of all dogmatic attitudes. At the basis of this thought there is the conviction that every human being has a divine nature to be re-awakened, through constant and continuous interaction with others.
Always a reserved person and not inclined towards promoting his own image, philosopher, healer, writer and painter, Falco does not hold decision making roles inside the political structure of Damanhur. He is very active in the field of therapy, art and new sciences. His knowledge, which he himself subjects to continuous verification, derives from the ability to draw on the great reservoirs of human knowledge and the connection Damanhur has created with the Divine Cosmic Forces of the New Millennium.
L.V:
Founder and inspirer of Damanhur, spiritual Master, healer, artist and researcher: Oberto Airaudi is one of the most eclectic personalities known today. Not liking to be defined in one way, which of these characteristics would you say you identify with the most?
Falco:
It is in non-identifying oneself. Every identification, in fact becomes a kind of label that reduces all the other possibilities and opportunities. As far as possible it is better to refuse definitions of this kind. Vice versa, if one plays the 'guru' it does nothing but reduce the person to that label.
L.V:
You teach people to search for their inner Master. What is the fulcrum, the heart of this teaching?
Falco:
It is a path with successive stages. People who want to find a spiritual pathway have an idea of what they want, which is always a child of its time. Almost all tend to reinforce a need for security that is represented by the necessity to have someone to refer to who substitutes the father or mother figure or those who have been incisive in their formation. At this point there are two possibilities. Those who have a constant need to have a Master outside of themselves tend to identify it in some element. However, as soon as they find themselves on the path and this figure begins to
Make them reflect upon non-egotistical principles, or when they are invited to assume roles of responsibility, they immediately change their search for a Master, change location and begin to go in a spin, passing from one experience to another year after year. Then, there is the opposite, those who having overcome the first phase of 'fascination' begin to listen, to really feel, that which is said. As far as I am concerned those who get through the first phase begin to understand that to search for an inner Master means not just believing and thinking. It means giving a meaning to action; using the hands, which are the instrument of action and this, is prayer. Prayer means digging. Those who arrive at the idea of digging, of assuming effective responsibility, that is verifiable, can then begin to search or to discover their inner Master, arriving at the Divinity contained inside of everyone. At this point a figure, who does not speak continuously but who is an effective reference with whom to have a silent link can be useful. Personally I do not speak, or only rarely, with people individually but I make collective discourses in such a way that each person can draw out the part they need from the whole.
I try to pay close attention to this aspect so as to tear away the veils as soon as possible. Identifying the Master in someone else means to not wanting to assume responsibility. Since our path leads in the opposite direction it is necessary that people learn to do this.
L.V:
In your teaching you speak of the 'Re-awakening of the inner God'.
Falco:
The next step in the search for the inner Master is the discovery of uniqueness, the identification of the characteristics of each person. It is important to want to do it individually, assuming responsibility and not waiting for someone else to do it. Inner research passes through balance, which is fundamental to the idea of deification and through comparison with others. Balance means completing all the parts of yourself: the tree is not only the trunk but also the leaves, roots, fruit and branches otherwise it is no longer a tree. This path passes through doing as opposed to saying. Action and doing means not exalting oneself in the search and not wanting to display mysteriousness, a situation into which those who have power often fall. It means responsibility towards others.
L.V:
You founded Damanhur to realize a dream so it is always said. Can you define the scenario of this dream?
Falco:
Dream, by nature is nourished by the events that happen during the day, but in turn it has to educate reality to become a solid element and not only a presumed element, a quasi real. In this way the dream builds. This dream linked to Damanhur is a dream-puzzle in which the dreams of others are put together with mine. Every Damanhurian with his/her choices responsibilities, enthusiasm, willingness to do, adds details and new threads to the dream, which in turn influences and transforms the dream itself.
L.V:
The Temples of Humankind are a gigantic undertaking that has required enormous amounts of energy and willingness on your part and that of the Damanhurians. They seem to be something truly important: why?
Falco:
They demonstrate that it is possible to bring dream into matter, make it become an object and thus establish a bridge between matter and dream, that we can define as spiritual, intimate, divine. It is a demonstration that many dreams can be coordinated and shared. A dream made of the material world, of details that have a meaning. An artistic project must be allowed to give meaning to what it creates.
Lepre Viola:
What possibilities does a guest or visitor have to experience these spiritual aspects linked to the Temples?
Falco:
A visitor must become a pilgrim and not a tourist, a person who seeks to find; not just someone who searches for searching's sake ad infinitum. Before getting to know, or having an intimate contact with the Temples people must speak with Damanhurians. Although this is not easy because everyone has many commitments and is continually running, talking with them can help to distinguish individual characteristics. These characteristics are then re-traceable in the Temples because there are visits, contact with the Temples at various levels. The Temples by nature bring out into the open the nature of the visitor. Those who arrive with envy or similar feelings will find it in the mirrors of the Temples in which they see themselves; those who arrive with a clear mind and with the intent of finding will encounter all that they want and desire. Whoever comes and knows what they wish to find will find it. Those who come by chance like a mushroom seeker, who knows nothing about mushrooms, will not find anything.
L.V:
What are you principally occupied with in your personal research?
Falco:
The use of the mobile laboratories of the large campers that facilitate the research that lies somewhere between physics, spirituality and magic. Research that is directed towards the discovery of what we define as the ' Matrices' of matter. The references, reading keys, of the status of Form. The matrices are the comparisons and my research is centred principally on this. I am also referring to the functions of time, and links with other distant realities in time and space in respect to us. I am involved in preparing successive scenarios, of indicating the roads that could be useful for moving ahead. If Damanhur were a school - and from a certain point of view it is - my research would be aimed at individuating the next 'class', the level of maturation that lies ahead, to indicate to people new ways of being. All this has to do with the development and the growth of our social structure, with different artistic expressions, in identifying a new way to make politics, with our movement 'Con te per il Paese' in agreement with spiritual equilibrium and the inner self.
The numerous projects that Damanhur is developing always have a spiritual aim, directed towards the communal growth of our People, to the search we call 'finding'.
L.V:
How important is the sense of humour - that you cite in many of your theses - on the spiritual path?
Falco:
As long as one takes oneself very seriously it is difficult to learn.
The humorist is the individual who is also able to see things from the outside and it is fundamental to learn to have a detached vision of yourself. He or she who sees things only from the inside is certainly not a humorist, but a centralizer of power, searching only for personal results. Because humour has to demonstrate things that in reality if they were true - would not need to be demonstrated and that decisively distances the research of the inner Divinity. A sense of humour is certainly a key, a mirror, that should be used often. Vice versa, things taken too seriously produce pain and pain is a road from which by nature we need to flee. There is no elevation in pain, spiritual or of any other kind.
Not even when it is put on display. It has nothing to do with spirituality if it concerns misery in a world where you must suffer to have who knows what in the afterlife. This is the life we have to live; it is better to have a sense of humour.
