Chapter 2

The Power of Love

(...) If extraterrestrials were to beam me onto their spaceship and ask me what I had to report from this planet, what special things I had experienced... It would be exactly this story here... The story of the power of love and the awakening of the soul...

But where should I begin? Best to start where the story began, many years ago, on a magical night, with a very unusual dream, because before I met her for the first time, I dreamed of her, and of the incredible feeling. I woke up in the morning and was in love, but not just in love—such an intense feeling of love for a woman unknown to me, from whom I had said goodbye in the dream, at some kind of airport. Not a modern airport, an older or smaller one, my memory is blurred, but I can still remember all too well the intense feeling that the dream had triggered. I had never had such a dream before, nor have I since, and I wouldn't have thought it possible that a dream could trigger such an emotional and physically palpable reaction.

A few weeks or months later, I met her for the first time... (...)

(...) In the coming weeks and months, it began—it became supernatural. The most incredible coincidences and synchronicities occurred, in such quantity and quality that they made me doubt reality, showing me that there must be more behind the visible... And of course, that there was some strange connection to this young woman. But back then I was too absorbed in my ego and my conquest plans to recognize it as the magical soul connection. I probably also lacked the consciousness and spiritual understanding at that time. Perhaps everything was part of a story that would only be resolved several years later. As for the coincidences, I had never experienced anything like this in my life—a phenomenon I hadn't paid attention to before, but which, given my fundamental interest in the supernatural, would have certainly caught my attention earlier: signs and signals from the universe, anomalies in everyday life that were impossible to overlook... (...)

(...) The world kept turning, I kept changing, new people and experiences came into my life, but this feeling for this woman would always remain—rarely almost forgotten when the noise of the world was too loud, sometimes like a gentle murmur in the background, and sometimes loud like a storm, impossible to ignore. Long before I delved more deeply into the nature of being and the structure of the world, I compared this feeling to a melody that is beautiful, rare and precious, like an incomparable, magical song that touches the heart deeply.

And her name was extremely magical, like a powerful spell. Every time I heard or read her name somewhere—and of course that wasn't rare—I automatically had to smile, and my heart felt warm. But years would pass before we saw each other again. There was often much time between our encounters, a strange, externally determined rhythm of rare, possible reunions... (...)

(...) By now I had also come across a Twin Flame video, and I subsequently began to engage more intensively with the subject. What I had experienced in the past months—the shift in consciousness, the new feeling about life, the coincidences, the intense and overwhelming feeling of love, feeling her energetic presence, my story in its entirety, what had happened years ago—everything suddenly made sense. And the newly gained insight accelerated the inner process enormously. (...)

(...) Unlike usual when a possible meeting was approaching, I wasn't nervous days in advance, which was due to my new consciousness, but when the day came, to be honest, it looked completely different. The afternoon was a true battle of the mind, of consciousness against the ego. Fears and doubts came to the surface of the mind. What if everything was just in your head? This whole Twin Flames thing is just too incredible, you're getting carried away with something... What if you somehow embarrass yourself in front of her? Or something "goes wrong"? (...)

(...) What can I say, I was quite nervous in the hours before, back and forth between "I'm cool and relaxed and know everything I know" and "oh my God, everything will go wrong, the beautiful illusion will soon be over." The easiest thing would have been not to go, but of course, after all that, that wasn't a serious option, although it was briefly suggested by my mind. What I had learned in the past months helped me enormously to finally wrestle down my ego. That, a glass of vodka with orange juice, and a brief request to God to help me calm down. I had already said that since summer, I could no longer rule out the existence of God—not as a person, but as a working force in the background, and what can I say, it helped... (...)

(...) In the days and weeks after our reunion, there was then a veritable explosion of coincidences and synchronicities. For example, the very next morning, my first activity was going to the supermarket, where someone called out her name through the aisles... In the evening, I found her name in a conspicuous advertisement under a YouTube video. It could continue endlessly. At some point, I began to write down all the coincidences in a list so I wouldn't forget them and to document them for myself. And then, of course, came the mirror numbers, which I had noticed less before, but which now became my constant companion in everyday life. Within one week, for example, I received a 7.77 and 11.11 receipt when shopping at the supermarket. Though it was mainly the 1111 that crossed my path in all variations. (...)

(...) The Twin Flame process also accelerated once more in general. The reunion had motivated me—full of energy and determination, I approached the new year. The inner transformation continued and even intensified. I began with meditation. After initial difficulties, which probably everyone faces at the beginning, I learned to meditate almost masterfully within a very short time. Once again, I was amazed myself, as I was actually rather a more restless nature, could hardly sit still or do nothing at all. I found pleasure in it and meditated daily from then on, easily finding deep meditative states, even instinctively developing my own methods and tricks (more on this in Chapter Seven). The regular practice led to even more consciousness anchoring itself in my everyday life. I perceived life very consciously and awake, the world became clearer and "more real," but at the same time even more magical. It seems to be true, as they say, the world reacts to awakened consciousness—synchronicities became normal. I instinctively developed a different, new way of seeing, which I consciously used as often as possible, and then often internally marveling, looking at the world as if through new eyes. When you look without thinking, you suddenly see things as they really are, with all the little details that you otherwise wouldn't notice (more on this later, see Chapter 7). I often walked through parks or looked at the trees and bushes on the roadside, delighting in how uniquely beautiful everything was, how changed, more real everything looked. Places I had known for years revealed new perspectives and hidden details. Lights now also had a particularly intense effect on me, whether from street lamps, traffic lights, or the headlights of passing cars—the light had a new strength, brilliance, with a clearly visible extended "aura" and far-radiating coronas of light. (...)

(...) It felt as if I was standing between the old and the new life. I was in the midst of an unmistakable transformation. The year was no less magical than the past one, which I had thought could not be surpassed, even though the changes were still not completely visible on the outside. The greatest transformation was still taking place within. And the transformation was not yet quite complete. Consciousness continued to develop, smaller tests and challenges arose, which I mastered better and better. In addition, I felt how my perception continued to change, and at first subtle spiritual abilities emerged or further developed. None of this was planned—everything arose intuitively. (...)

(...) During the summer, a very astonishing coincidence occurred. When I arrived at my workplace, I first triggered an alarm. Shortly after, two lamps lit up in the garden there in broad daylight. When I noticed this and wanted to take a photo with my phone, it was exactly 11:11... But that wasn't enough yet—it got much better and more magical. When I entered a room shortly afterward, I wanted to ask the person there what the triggered alarm was about, and the radio was playing the line "My love is a flame, burnin' within" (from the song "Stumblin' In" by Cyril (original by Chris Norman & Suzi Quatro)), exactly at the moment I entered... That's the kind of coincidence where you can't stop marveling, but which also gives you certainty and trust. The next day, when I was sitting in my kitchen thinking about whether I should at least tell my spiritually interested friend about the lamp and the 11:11, at exactly that moment in my thought process, in a video that was playing in the background, the phrase "light my lamp" fell... (...)

(...) You can see from the story that my experience with the Twin Flame phenomenon goes far beyond ordinary 3D relationship dramas and heartbreak romances. It goes strongly into the "superparanormal" and mystical. I have now reached a point where one must be careful of the so-called "spiritual ego," not to completely take off, but here too, love is the force and anchor that keeps me grounded.

But with all the development and transformation, my Twin Flame has also brought me back to my old self, from which I had distanced myself for so many years. I read and write again, work on my creative projects as I used to love doing, and I believe in magic, miracles, love and God again. It's a new, old self—free and true—and it feels good to have full control over oneself again, or for the first time ever in this life. Overall, all of this makes me very content and happy. My life has become good and is on the way to becoming much better. In flow and harmony with the universe and myself, I see everything quite relaxed and easy, and simply let things come to me, in complete trust in myself and the divine powers, if we want to call them that. (...)

(...) At the beginning of December, the time had come—the book went online, the days and hours accompanied by a true fireworks display of coincidences. Sometimes incredible series of meaningful synchronicities, almost like direct messages from the universe, signaling to me that an important phase of my life and the connection had begun. At some point, I stopped noting them all down, only writing the most important and spectacular ones in my list.

On the day of publication, I experienced a very special, actually incredible coincidence, one of the most beautiful I've ever experienced: While shopping at the supermarket, I heard someone say "Merci" at the deli counter, exactly at the moment I walked past the chocolate brand of the same name. At home, I then noticed that the address of the video about the history of Tarot, which I had uploaded to my channel the day before, contained exactly the name of my deceased pet. Tears came to my eyes when I looked at all the other possible YouTube links with the randomly generated numbers and letters, and realized how unlikely that actually was... And what it meant, what this coincidence once again said about reality. (...)

(...) And regardless of what we call it, what label we attach to it, whether we are Twin Flames or not, the story I have told you is magical and supernatural. It shows that there is much more than what the eyes can see. If you are not in this process yourself, all of this may be hard to believe or comprehend—how you transform yourself naturally and instinctively, and are gently pushed along by an invisible force, or how you can feel and love another person from a distance, just like that. I hope I could offer you a small glimpse into my magical world, inspire one or the other, and show the potential of this phenomenon and true spirituality. Above all, my narrative shows the incredible power and force of love, which can change ourselves and the whole world. And perhaps it can also help others remember who they are and how magnificent and strong each and every one of us can be. It is worth following the truth of the heart, because what is true will always find a way. (...)
