Proto Museum
Universal Spirituality Module
The planetary civilization process has acquired the character of an unstoppable blind ELEMENT, under whose force true values remain suppressed. The mission of the Protomuseum is to establish a balance of civilizational priorities by recognizing and affirming the domain of universal spirituality.
Universal spirituality is characterized by a non-dogmatic approach to the unique Divine reality, i.e. the common root and connectedness to the higher consciousness of all existence, all religions and specific spiritual traditions. An essential determinant of such a comprehensive approach is the recognition of the world’s spiritual heritage as a comprehensive, unambiguous research subject and priority.
Book Metaparadigm
The clouded Planet memory …
most people live in ignorance …
although present, they are absent.
The world’s spiritual heritage, the first reflection of Absolute Knowledge, is a real ‘balm’ for the Syndrome of IGNORANCE. Like stem cell therapy, the healing vibration establishes engrams of original Knowledge. For the axiom of Absolute Knowledge, all human “proto-knowledge” is its pale earthly expression, the sources of which are: the great world religions (sacred scriptures), esoteric knowledge and secular scientific knowledge.
“Metaparadigm” is a comprehensive approach to the world’s spiritual heritage, whose substance it differentiates through a set of proto-knowledge ‘valences’. Their editorial processing creates formats receptive to the reception of the average individual-seeker. The applied editorial procedure of sublimating proto-valences resulted in the formulation of the Metaparadigm standard and quantum, in the namesake book. By systematizing and unifying the proto-valences set, an proto-knowledge algorithm was established.
The book is a contribution to the reach of ancient Wisdom, a shortcut to civilizational trends that reflect the domain of universal spirituality. The main meanders of Indo-European spirituality provide support in deciphering this domain: the Wisdom of the Orient and the spirituality of the West. Theosophical synthesis, esoteric parallels, the holistic paradigm and modern science confirm the common root and implicit, comprehensive synergy of the full register of “proto-knowledge” through the format of – metaparadigm.
A special setting is the “One Book Library”, dedicated to the curation of the Metaparadigm standard.
Main setting
Proto-knowledge Quintessence
– Noogram collection –
In the proto-knowledge register, the world spiritual heritage and universal spirituality itself treatment is still sporadic and partial. Therefore, a comprehensive pioneering engagement is necessary…
Protomuseum uses two formats as tools for the gradual sublimation of protoknowledge. Along with
the book, the second standard for “quantizing” proto-valence is the Noogram format, where the
substance is fragmented to the quintessence of certain sacred writings and teachings. The flux of unified
valences encourages implicit synergy, with the effect of “tunneling” the domain of universal spirituality.
Thematic setting
Patristic Orthodoxy
Path of Hesychasm
This proto-valence is brought to the forefront by two factors:
- suppressed of the purest, original Orthodox teaching – Hesychasm, and
- the publishing feat of the Russian researcher Nikolai Novikov, with the edition Path of Mental Action, dedicated to the prayer life through the application of the Hesychasm method.
In about ten volumes of books, aspects of Orthodox theology from the thousand-year-old lineage of the Holy Fathers are discussed, who interpret the teaching of Christ through the experience of the созерцание (contemplation), of living communion with God. It is a direct, main road to deification intended for every person, both monk and layman.
In the formatting of this reference, Novikov’s voluminous opus was sublimated into about 30 pages in the book Metaparadigm, or rather into a reduced noogram-set of 16 tetrads. This created the conditions for a full contribution to the synergy of proto-valences and receptivity for the average individual.
Accompanied program
Universal Spirituality Forum
The primary target group of the Protomuseum is the outstanding intellectual-seekers category, whose engagement is focused on identifying and researching planetary/civilizational priorities. The Forum of Universal Spirituality at the parent pavilion is an opportunity for these dedicated seekers to meet and systematically exchange experiences through the presentation of their individual works.
Living Culture Module
Universal spirituality implicitly includes altera pars of the living culture, as an inseparable aspect of resisting the civilization ELEMENT. It is a flexible principled parallelism, with a clear deflection from the rut of stereotypes. With its resources, the parent pavilion provides conditions for a wider range of modalities of “withdrawal from the world” and harmonization of the individual inner path through various forms of residential stay, with appropriate spiritual practice and personal routine.
Founder – curator
Dušan Panajotović (1956, Pirot) is a molecular biologist, he completed his postgraduate studies at the Center for Multidisciplinary Studies, Belgrade. His research scope covers several areas: from aesthetics and culture of living, to comparative religion and the paradigm of universal spirituality.
The wider engagement includes the construction of the Spheroid Pavilion and a cycle of student camps and workshops. Visits to centers of Theravada Buddhism, insight into the essence of patristic Orthodoxy, and elaboration of the valences of the world spiritual heritage resulted in the formulation of standards and the book “Metaparadigm”. The crowning achievement of the 25-year engagement is the Protomuseum project (personal magnum opus terminus).
Peculiarity of the opus is that it is the work of one man, carried out on the principle of ‘manufacture’: from investment, construction and management, to software and technical solutions of the book and setting. Comprehensive pioneering endeavors are today within the reach of the possibilities and formats of the individual-seeker, with the accompanying implications of ‘asceticism’ and ‘invisibility’… until the resulting in the late opus phase.
