Healing with Selfic Technology

Spheroself, stiloself and other healing tools

"Selfica is an ancient science based on the basic form of our universe: the spiral. It was known by the Egyptians, the Celts, and the Arabs, who used it until the eighth century BCE, and Selfica has been developed at Damanhur for about 30 years. It uses spirals and metals to concentrate and direct vital energies. The objects that are developed from this discipline are called Selfs. They are frequently constructed out of gold and silver, because these are the best conductors, but copper and brass are also used." p. 279

Giunco talks about Selfica

Giunco in the Selfic Workshop, SeLet, at Damanhur

Cicogna Giunco, who has worked on the development of Selfica for many years, as well as being responsible for the Way of the Monks, talked with me. I began by asking her, “What exactly is a Self?”

'Selfs are subtle beings. They have an existence. They have different forms, because they have different functions. The simple ones, those that use metals, copper mostly, rather than alchemical liquids, range in function from amplifying the aura of a person to increasing the sensibility and perceptions, from regulating the immune system to helping the memory, or, for houses or motor vehicles, balancing the environment.

'For every coil or turn in the form of a spiral, there is an increase in the speed at which energy flows along it. Angles, on the other hand, divert the energy. It makes a difference whether you use copper and brass, or gold and silver.

'The person working with the materials has an important influence. I can do this work because I am following the Way of the Monks. For example, when working with copper thread, as I work with it, as I pull it out, as I form it into shape, I can actually charge it with a subtle energy. It is about creating the suitable conditions to create such exchange and transfer energies.'

Selfic circuitry in the Temples of Humankind

Selfic 'cabin' in the Temples of Humankind

"The whole of the Temples of Humankind is a living, active being, full of vital energy that is a result of the interaction between the Selfs, the construction and artwork, and the interaction of those using it. It is claimed that the Temple complex is the largest Selfic structure in the world. It contains some 300 tons of Selfic circuitry built inside its walls and floors, as well as the Selfic qualities that were transferred to the very building materials during the construction process." p. 284
