WELCOME TO MY FIREPLACE...

Stories have been told since times immemorial...

Once upon a time, so I imagine, a shaman must have returned from a journey into non-ordinary realities and began to tell about the adventure. The tribe - sitting around the fire freshly stolen from the gods - listened with eyes wide open. They sensed that they were hearing something very interesting, not only fantastical but revealing important things about the blue-print of life itself.

These days, stories are often belittled as mere entertainment or even regarded as some form of escapism from reality. However, imagination is the most astounding of all our human faculties and the root of all creativity. The deeper we root in imagination, the higher we can grow our branches into the world of innovation. 

"Psychology is ultimately mythology, the study of the stories of the soul."

(James Hillman)

Our very lives are stories and follow the archetypal patterns of a hero's journey. Whenever someone says: 'Life is not a fairy-tale...' I like to respond: 'Oh, but it is. Think not only of the happy ending, think of the epic challenges, think of the immense bravery, and sacrifices required of the heroes.' If we learn to look at our lives as a story, we can learn to become heroes instead of being victims or playing only supportive roles. We can learn how to turn every problem and devastation into a worthy challenge. We can learn the deepest secret of our human existence: that even our smallest thoughts, feelings, and decisions matter and can change the outcome of the whole of creation.    ​

I work with stories on multiple levels and in different forms:

- As a creative writer, I tell those stories which come to me and which I believe will help me, the writer and you, the reader to better and deeper understand the human condition. These stories touch upon some of the greatest questions: What is the meaning of our lives? How does consciousness evolve? How does life go on in the eternal cycle of lives upon lives, deaths upon deaths?

- As a hypnotherapist, I examine stories deep within the unconscious. Sometimes, our inner narratives reach back deep into our personal mythology of origin and into the karmic past. We explore them  in order to find the patterns: the negative patterns (which no longer serve us) in order to change them and the positive ones in order to strengthen them and ensure we reach our highest path in the future. By exploring the stories of our past, present and future, we can:

• reframe negative stories,
• turn weaknesses into strengths,
• reclaim our personal power, dormant energies, and forgotten abilities,
• identify and learn to live our purpose. 

- As a consciousness researcher, I collect and study real-life stories which teach us about the true nature of consciousness. I have seen and experienced many times (seemingly) impossible things to happen. These leading-edge cases of human experience suggest that reality is multidimensional: 

• consciousness can exist out of the body,
• experience various non-ordinary realities,
• survive death,  and
• return again into life.

There are many reported cases of out-of-body and near-death experiences, children remembering past lives, and the like, for us to ignore them. However, in order to investigate such things systematically, we need a new type of science. This new science of the mind must be based on a different assumption than our currently mainstream materialist science. Consciousness can only be studied in any useful way if we assume that it is not matter (i.e. the brain) which produces consciousness but it is consciousness (the mind) which brings forth matter. ​

"I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative of consciousness."
(Max Planck)

"Consciousness cannot be accounted for in physical  terms. For consciousness is absolutely fundamental."
(Erwin Schrödinger)

I have learned through observing the workings of consciousness that the world we live in is a truly magical place. It responds to changes we create in the inner world of our thoughts, sentiments, and energies. We are in essence the same consciousness which is the foundation of all-there-is: we are the creator as well as the created.

We live in a reality born in imagination...
welcome to a universe of wonder!

With love and peace to you from me,
