A Meister in the making

Many characteristics once believed to reflect innate talent are actually the results of intense practice for a minimum of 10 years.

(Anders Ericsson, et. al., quoted in Daniel Pink’s ‘Drive’)

T he German word Meister implies the notion of being a master of a craft. The concept originated in the Middle Ages when the artisans emerged as a class in the city states, and the knowledge of the trade was handed down from Meister to apprentice. After many years of guidance, the apprentice earned the right to practice the trade as an established Meister as well. It has been ten years since the Awakening that initiated my spiritual path—and just like with any other craft that we want to master—I learnt a few lessons over the years. It is a process to keep the magic going, and ‘The Way of the Meister’ aims to hand this process down to the next generation of spiritual travelers—you!

I shared my Awakening experience in my first book, ‘The Magnificent Experiment—The Magic of Connecting with your Tao’. One day, sitting in a conference room with some 30 colleagues, something shifted inside of me, and the world became a different place from then on. I discovered divine connections, experienced synchronicity, and had my fair share of spiritual realizations. Mostly, I remember having child-like fun around that time. Ten years later, I would call my Awakening in 2008 as a honeymoon experience of some sort. It turns out, a little work awaits us to make that divine connection permanent. ‘The Way of the Meister’ has similar magical stories as
