This is the story of Sofia who walks into a museum and falls in love with a statue. Day after day, her grueling sentiment grows that she knows him, although he died 25 centuries before she was even born. As she follows her heart's seemingly impossible calling, Sofia gradually reconnects with an ancient body of knowledge. To find him, she must travel to a world beyond our ordinary reality: into the realms of dreaming and dying. Ultimately, she learns that she is not alone: she belongs, like some of us, to the ancient Order. The impossible - through a daring shift in paradigm - can indeed happen.

Traveling to the Story
Writing this book has taken me on a metaphysical adventure as interesting as the story itself which emerged at the end. It all started with some strange images which came to my mind on a cold, dark winter night in the cottage. Ultimately, the ideas prompted me to travel to Greece and find the places where Pasión's story happened once upon a time. I was following a method of intuitive path-finding: ideas which came to me were verified through a series of magical synchronicities.
It was about finding pieces of a puzzle, like an archaeologist would find broken fragments of a bygone reality, to unearth something which happened a long time ago, yet holds an important message for our present and our future.

Milos Island
This lunar looking landscape of the Milos coastline is where Pasión grew up in the 5th century BC and learned to be an artist. He is the man from Ancient Greece whose statue Sofia will fall in love 25 centuries later. |

The Davelis Cave Back home in the cottage I "saw" some underground tunnels in a cave system around Athens which I felt were used by an ancient mystical society. I dismissed the notion as too sensationalist, yet fate led me the Davelis Cave in the Penteli Mountains, North of Athens.
|
Once inside the cave - even though I could find nothing published about it - the thought didn't let me go: could there be something hidden in the bowels of the earth? I had to return to Greece a second time, and with no caving or climbing experience whatsoever, try my luck and find out more...

The Tempel of Hephaestos
The temple was inaugurated only a week before Pasión arrived in Athens - sold as a slave. Little did he know at the time that it will still be standing in two and half thousand years for Sofia to see - a woman of the future with whom his consciousness was mysteriously and forever linked. |

Olympia
Interestingly, the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games have always been part of Sofia and Pasión's story. Interestingly still, they remained part of the plot even after whirling world events rendered the Games impossible this year. Or did they? |
‘What would you say' the director asked her 'is your greatest strength?’
My greatest strength is irrelevant, Sofia thought to herself, what matters is the patient.
Yet, she knew she had to reply something, therefore she said:
‘When I am in hell ... I keep going.’
