Life can be experienced from a total other point of view, if you'd realize that life itself depends on your beliefs and disbeliefs.

Our journey into this world is one that enables us to learn and enjoy the many varieties of life expressed within the boundaries of this universe.

To know that you are one of the co-creators, that you have an interactive part in all there is, would stabilize your position as an entity and gives you much more decision power in what to experience in your daily lifetime.

Here are three major reasons why you are here:

• TO LEARN
• TO ENJOY
• TO SHARE

You are NOT here TO SUFFER !

Suffering is a condition derived from ignorance, and a disorientation of the true meaning of life.

That does not mean your life will be smooth all the way!

"To suffer for a reason is different
than to suffer out of ignorance"
- THEN

Suffering can be an integral part of life's experience in order for us to learn. There can be no lessons without accomplishments and therefore "suffering" in that context is part of a human's potential to evolve. It is the other part of suffering based on no valid reason that produces stress and contributes to the many unhappiness endured in the world today.

The 'THEN materials' will try to help you find YOUR answers, and yes... we know that many of you might have lost trust in anyone who could give any answers to these, but we can only ask you to keep an open mind to what THEN has to say.

If you are interested in establishing more awareness and understanding of YOU as a being and LIFE itself, we encourage you to READ THIS BOOK and CLAIM YOUR TRUTH which is your legacy. Remember...
 

So if you're really a Truth Seeker, then...

READ THESE MATERIALS !!

and unleash the power of your inner self !

I wrote the dialogues just "as is"; neither to introduce a certain belief system nor to convince people otherwise. It was an urge to express my freedom of speech without the boundaries of traditional belief systems. Call it fiction if you like and as a side effect of all fiction, you might even recognize possible ideas that would fit into your way of thinking.

I did not write this book to attack the main stream of thinking or even as a parody to the so popular New Age channeling. I wrote the dialogues as a summary of questions I had in this lifetime, answered by a source willing to do this entirely for my own satisfaction.

The experience I had was of such magnitude that it was impossible for me to return to my previous way of thinking, for it is said that "a mind once expanded can never regain its original dimensions".

I made many notes of which several I did not even publish due to the extreme unorthodox nature of the material. I first have to cope with it myself before being tempted to release them afterwards.

The notes I published in this book were not always placed in the order it was given and where I felt appropriate, provided with additional comments in brackets for sake of clarity.

It took me almost 30 years to finally decide to come forward and share this experience and received materials with others, mainly because I myself considered it too weird to reveal and probably would be resented anyway. On the other hand I noticed an increase in awareness the last years and a cry for answers to basic questions, people have been struggling with for many centuries.

It was a journey guided by an inner voice I came to know as THEN and I hope your own inner voice will be stimulated to surface after reading this material.

Thomas Dewar once said, "Minds are like parachutes -- they work best when open," and in that light you are invited to read.
