House of the Sun, a collection of spiritual and esoteric articles.

Dirk Gillabel gives you esoteric, mystical and shamanistic knowledge, life lessons and spiritual experiences to guide your soul on its path of life.

The famous alchemist Paracelsus (16th century) said that one should never accept the established doctrines at face value. One should find out for himself if what someone else wrote is true of not.

In the House of the Sun, I am giving you spiritual information that I feel is both important and close to whatever truth it is embodying.

Knowledge is essential for one's spiritual path, but discrimination is equally important. My articles in the House of the Sun will help you on your path, but they are not the ultimate truth. I hope that my articles will make you aware of your Self, will give you knowledge and insight, and that they will help you improve your life.

I was born in 1959, and I went through life of study and self-exploration. I have had many spiritual experiences that have widened my awareness about life, the cosmos, Self and many other subjects. It has always been my goal to share my knowledge with others by communication and by writing.
