Smell your coffee, slurp your coffee, enjoy the taste. Feel the warmth of the cup in your hands and take in the color that promises the wished‑for joy of the moment. Use all your senses to be here and now.

I would like to share with you the ongoing journey of understanding and embracing the inner self.

My own deep dive began more than a year ago, bringing me so many new insights that I can no longer keep them within. It is this feeling of overflow that creates a natural wish to share. Never thinking I would write a book, my ideas of what should be included in order to present the whole puzzle expanded to two books... then three... the latest prognosis shows four.

I must acknowledge that it is only thanks to God for my (effort to) honestly lived life, trying to understand and make sense of everything that ever happened to me, both within and around me. With my medical, spiritual, and social background, my whole life has been one huge, complex mental adventure. Heavily misconceived, yet still dynamic, with always something going on. So when the circle of misconception was broken, I had an enormous amount of material to reprocess, reintegrate, and build a new image from scratch. I am amazed every day by this process, by the new connections and beautiful insights about the core of the human being and its natural unfolding.
