>>People come to me after making a clear decision for themselves about personal development.
For most people, I think, it's a journey they embark on of their own free will.
They want to reach their potential.
What's the destination of your journey? All the way to Enlightenment.
And then back to normal life after that?
Yes, exactly... this is very important for me.
I love to discover the magnificence of people's divine self.
I never question that.
Every being is totally complete and radiant - always will be, and always was.
No question about that at all.
But the ego: well... this is just like concrete, plated with gold. Sometimes less, sometimes more.
It's not my role to polish it.
Could you show us the model which you also describe in your book?
The first three (non-material) levels belong to the astal realm...
...corresponding to the first three chakras.
And then there's a big barrier.
Between 9 and 10 is the major boundary.
Up to that point we're subject to the law of karma. Here we can tell lies if we choose to. This is the realm of the mind.
This boundary can only be crossed by those
who are loving, and free of intentions.
That's how we can reach this spiritual quality.
At that point, we become unhurtable. Not the body. The body is always vulnerable.
Maybe I can add here that people often come to me because of conflicts in their lives.
There's an enormous amount to learn from these issues.
It's very important to stabilise one's self-image and self-respect.
That's definitely a part of spiritual work. You have to work honestly on all the personal chakras.
We learn to take a clear position, standing up for ourselves,
but in a fair and friendly way.
I'm aware that everyone who's aiming for a true spiritual goal
will be attacked by astral forces.
If people are attacked, and they don't yet know how to deal with this,
I'm there for them.
Im willing to accompany them on their journey
so they can continue on their path without fear.
It's good to have a hand to hold on to.
Do you recomend to your students that they should meditate regularly?
Yes, always. But I also can understand there are times when they can't do that.
I never assume that a person's spiritual path has to be completely straight.
That's very seldom the case.
These personal journeys sometimes bend and waver like this.
After all, we're all here for the experience.
