The Central

This book helps you to get to know yourself in a fundamental yet concentrated and simple way. You can simply read it or you can engage with it. With the help of numerous “exercitii”, you are repeatedly invited to observe and experience yourself from two perspectives.
On the one hand, there is your learned story, which began early in your life and with which you began to adapt in order to be loved or at least tolerated. It has something of an inner atmosphere that has become a habit for you and that determines your everyday life in a somewhat mechanical way, constantly repeating itself. This inner atmosphere helped you as a child to maintain your place in the family, but the older you get, the more it becomes an obstacle to you living your other side, namely your radiance, your Essence, your actual individual nature. Whenever you have the feeling that “this can't be all there is,” something in you remembers this forgotten and buried erotic power.
Such a dichotomy can be found in many psychological and spiritual teachings. The special feature of this book is that both sides are brought together to a central denominator. A simple red thread runs through both your learned story and your “Essence”, which accounts for your unmistakable individuality on both sides. You have not learned to perceive it, because complexity and confusion almost always have a preserving and stabilizing function in the old story.
The book invites you on a journey that can increasingly bring you into contact with the simple, constantly recurring basic formula of how you create pain, fear and suffering in your life. At the same time, the ability to “remember” your splendor and radiance may become stronger and stronger within you, opening the doors to a different perspective in which an unfamiliar lightness and joy form the basis of your life.
However, all of this will only happen if the desire to come home to yourself is stronger than the mechanical compulsion to maintain your usual daily routine. The book is an invitation, but not a promise.
