PREFACE

This book is for people who would like to learn a little more about themselves. For it is only true self-recognition that leads the way to love. Depending on your level of awareness, it will allow you to rediscover your own feelings, and also to perceive feelings you have never felt before. In this process of recognition, each story reflects the person reading it – but you have to feel your way into it rather than simply thinking about it. In my experience, once you have read through half of this book, it is a good idea to take a short break and give your body the opportunity to experience the new thought processes that have been introduced to you. You will need time to accept this new feeling, this new knowledge of yourself, and to let it take effect inside you.

If you want to do something good for your body, begin by simply taking a deep breath, to activate your powers of self-healing. If you breathe consciously, without thinking, the healing process begins. Your subconscious absorbs everything; everything you have ever seen, heard and experienced is stored in every cell of your body. No matter how important it is, everything is connected to you. The things you speak of today, everything you think and do, will continue to be a part of your experience tomorrow, and for the rest of your life. The unconscious storage of thoughts accumulates and becomes a burden. We carry it around with us from the very beginning of our lives, and the load becomes heavier as time goes on. Look at yourself in the mirror; look at your body and how it changes from one year to the next! Perhaps you feel unhappy with your life – you have no idea why; you simply accept that that is the way it is. This unconscious acceptance means that you are giving yourself up, refusing to recognize and heal yourself. I am not talking about a doctor or medication. I am talking about you, yourself. You are the best doctor there is. You are the person who can restore yourself back to health. The condition for this is, of course, that you answer the most important questions in your life with a ‘yes’. Is it what you want? Do you think you are worth it?

Once you have made the decision in favour of your own life and health, anything is possible! You are your own healer, and you hold so much power within you. You have everything you need to lead a happy and healthy life, all you have to do is to find the way and allow it to happen.In my experience, it is well worth the effort of choosing this path, experiencing yourself more deeply and orienting yourself in a completely new way. If you are prepared to recognize yourself, even a little, enormous powers will be released within you. Powers that can move mountains. At a certain point in my life, I suddenly had the feeling that something was not quite right. My attitude towards myself made me call my previous lifestyle into question and I asked myself what I could do for myself to improve my life. I realized that I was the only person who was able help myself, no one else could. There is an old misconception that human beings have always had – the idea that you can be saved by others. But that is merely the result of being manipulated by other people. I needed to be prepared to stand up for myself. I had to draw from my own strength so that I could change things for myself. Of course, the easiest and most comfortable way is to think: I don't want to do that, it sounds like far too much hard work! Okay, that is fine. … I don't want to is a clear statement, but it is also stems from a negative attitude towards yourself. If I decide against helping myself, it means that I do not wish to change because I do not value myself. As the saying goes, a man’s will is his kingdom of heaven. I might add at this point, greetings to the ego, which is nourished by fear!

In any case, for the first time I noticed who my director was, who was controlling my life and pulling all the strings. I wanted to feel my inner being, I wanted to go through life hand in hand with my heart. I wanted to experience the greatest happiness, the greatest bliss imaginable. I even dreamed of being on cloud nine, never thinking about how hard you fall when you come back down to earth. I have never heard of anyone who stayed up there for any length of time.The cloud dissolves for everyone at some point in time, like a bubble that bursts. What a pity, life could be so beautiful! So what now? I asked myself, dismayed. Happiness must have somehow slipped through my fingers. It had escaped me, the good life. I came to the conclusion that it was vital to regain control of the thoughts in my head (I mean all those little grey cells that pretend they are thinking). Hurrah, I had done it! I had decided for myself! And since that moment I have been very careful to monitor the things, my head constantly wants to think or needs to talk about. Since this encounter with myself, and the very personal agreement I made with my thoughts, which I now determine myself, I am on the way to love!

A thought is the worst thing that can happen to you.

MORE THAN MERE THOUGHTS

Once I had understood that neither the television nor the radio – not even my mobile phone and all the daily newspapers put together – were as interesting as I was, the next few days were a little unexpected. Within a very short time, my view of the world and of myself had changed completely. I would never have believed that I could live without the media. I noticed that I was no longer afraid. Suddenly, everything felt so free and easy. I was curious about this change, which seemed to have come about without me actually doing anything. I wanted to know more about myself so that I could interact with myself more easily. So, I stayed close to myself. That was a very wise decision, I realized later.

I had never really had anything to do with myself, or even had time to think about myself. It felt as though I was meeting myself for the very first time; up until then I had been wearing rose-tinted glasses. I had no idea what was going to come of it, but one thing I did know: things inside me could not stay the way they were at the moment. Something had to change, but how? No idea! At that moment, everything in me was shouting out towards the heavens, Help! Who is going to save me? It sounds stupid, but I was completely exhausted, everything was so chaotic, up and down the whole day long. When you experience that kind of thing, or rather recognize it in yourself, it shakes you up. It is a little like being woken up by a deafeningly loud alarm clock. I was whirling around in a sea of thoughts so violently that I actually wondered whether I was going to die. Had my time come? But I hadn’t even started to live properly! Was someone playing games with me, or had I missed something? These were the effects of the huge boomerang I had created for myself in my previous existence. A state of confusion still lay ahead of me, apart from the few insights that life had brought me so far. What now? It was like a slap in the face, this needs to completely rethink everything. I recognized that this chaos was the result of carelessness, neglect, disregard and forgetting myself. I had no idea where this different way of thinking had suddenly come from. Somewhere, at some point, certain words must have been uttered, words that a synapse in my brain had just been waiting to grasp hold of.

The inner reaction came quickly, at full speed. Something had broken away inside me; I suddenly had strange feelings without knowing where they came from. I just had to try and cope with it all. I did not recognize myself in this state! I had never experienced feelings, thoughts and realizations of this kind before. I sometimes even felt as though I was going mad. This thought was sobering and not very encouraging, and I felt like throwing myself onto the ground and beating it with both fists, shouting out Why? Why? whatsoever, I kept these absurd thoughts to myself. I noticed that complaining was getting me nowhere! I had to do something, but what? The first thing I decided to do was to slow down a notch. For me that meant deciding not to begin each day by showing the world what I wanted or proving what I was capable of. Instead, I waited for the day to show me what it had in store for me. Whether I would be able to recognize it straight away was another matter. First of all, I just wanted to set off and get away from myself – I mean, to stop thinking so much. It was no longer necessary for me to tell other people what to do – why should I? I simply had to learn to observe what happened of its own accord. I had to take care of myself, of course, but other people would have to find a way of coping on their own.

This course of action had certain advantages, because if I treated myself with more awareness, I was also likely to get along better with my neighbours. If I was content with myself, it would encourage others to relax and be the way they were.

And I would no longer need to criticise everyone and complain about them. I understood: everyone is the way he or she is! I congratulated myself for gaining this insight, which was to prove extremely beneficial to me. Another logical conclusion was that I would get to know my fellow human beings better as soon as I had more knowledge of myself. I would be able to see my environment far more clearly. That may seem a little difficult to understand at first, but it is not really. In the following chapters I will explain how, step by step, I began to experience my life more consciously, trying to understand the processes and connections that made up my life. I noticed from my own bodily reactions how simple life is if you take the time to do something for yourself each day. Five minutes are enough. You are worth five minutes of your time, I thought at the beginning of my journey towards self-recognition. I was delighted with myself for managing to set these five minutes aside. In the meantime, I have increased the five minutes to sixty a day. I have succeeded in finding a whole hour for myself, and I am very happy about that. In the beginning, I found it useful to read books that helped me to learn about myself. It was enough to read a page a day, understanding a little more as time went by. When it comes to personal well-being, it is already half the battle if you read - not only with your head, but also with your heart. At least, that was what I experienced, and it was wonderful. It felt like I was starting a whole new life. In fact, I believe that really was the case, because reading a page a day was only the beginning.

Within a short time, I had changed my life for the better, and my vale of tears had subsided. My bookshelf was becoming fuller from week to week, and I really began to understand what I was reading. I developed a different view of things, because I had never looked at my own actions from this angle before. Everything changed, it became easier, and all I had to do was to take a closer look. That is how I saw it then, and I continue to experience it in the same way today. There is nothing better than your own life.

Everything I have written in this book is based on things I have experienced in my own life, things I know more about now. Each individual will have his or her own experiences and insights, and that is exactly the way it should be. Every person is different, and every person has the right to be different. My stories are meant merely as tips for you. They are written from my point of view, because they are facts that I have experienced myself. They have given me the knowledge I needed to accept and use aspects of my daily daily life in a more relaxed, open-minded, understanding and perceptive way. If you have gone through several deep valleys in your own life, if you are asking yourself Why me? How many more times do I have to go through this?, then you are probably thinking that life is conspiring against you. But without going through these deep valleys, you will never experience the highest points of your life! Believe in yourself, even if it seems there is no way out. I thought exactly the same thing, but in the end, it was this very feeling of hopelessness that helped me out of my despair. Not knowing how to carry on helped me to find a way to carry on – it may sound paradox at first, but it was the solution. Looking back, I can say that I never knew what was coming next, what was going to happen.
