FROM DREAM TO REALITY
The place of Eden within us
and the point of decision
|
At the core of my being, in the depths of my soul, I feel the reality of peace. So deep, so clear, so true. The term “EDEN” comes up again and again. Not as an utopia, not as an “unattainable heavenly paradise”, but very concretely – on earth, in being human, in being together.
Many people today feel this reality. In my perception, this has changed a lot in recent years, more and more people are writing about it, talking about it and allowing themselves to feel it and bring it into the world. And everyone goes their own way. And so do I. As one of many.
I dedicate this page here to this level of my being and my path with it, and make it available, because it is always – so far indirectly – part of my work, indeed, to be honest, the deep ground of my being. Because actually everything revolves around it:
To embody
the inner reality of Eden
in very concrete, real life.
This is what my life and my work revolves around.
This is my greatest good, the deepest concern of my soul,
what makes the most sense to me and is my greatest joy.
That sounds so beautiful. When I am clearly connected to it, it is. AND… this reality confronts me with life as it is in such a strong way that sometimes I could simply fall into despair. The world as it is is… so different. And I experience many people in exactly this conflict – at the inside it is so clear, we all want the same thing… and life often looks so different. And often it’s simply exasperating…

… this is such a comprehensively healthy field that tears regularly run down my face, my breathing is deeply relaxed and I feel the flowing of joy and deep love through me. It is a natural and sacred space in every cell.

And in the presence of this reality, everything that does not correspond to this frequency becomes visible and tangible. Not because it is “wrong”, but simply because it is not at home in this space. Everything that lives in separation, that has had painful experiences, that has isolated itself, that values and strives for power, that fights, comes up here. All, really ALL experiences that people have ever had in separation come up here.
And this is where it gets exciting:
How do I, how do you,
who strive for love, unity, joy
and are confronted with all that is not,
handle all of this?
What do we do with it, in ourselves and in the world?
Every day we are confronted with all the layers and realities of separation, trauma, injustice, horror and pain that live in the world and within us. This is ALSO a reality that we have to deal with. There is no point in escaping into a beautiful utopia if we are physically and really living in the world as it is right now.

How is that supposed to work – to even dream of something like “Eden” in the face of all this? Isn’t that just utopian? Isn’t that just a plain cover-up? A great dream, but – let’s be honest… – when it comes to “real” life, isn’t that just unreal and stupid to worry about? At least that’s how my inner critics see it with absolute certainty.
And yet…
It is there. These peaceful levels keep bubbling up, no matter what happens to me. No matter how violent it is and no matter how scared I am. It is there. And whispers the reality of this frequency unabashedly and constantly into my heart.
And I listen. I’ve been listening to it all my life in one way or another. There were times when it was completely gone, but then it reappeared. And at some point I just couldn’t help but acknowledge this level within me as REAL.
This IS there.
It DOES exist.
REALLY.
And now? What to do with it? The other has not miraculously disappeared. The world is still the world it is. I continue to be who I am. And I turn loop after loop, going my own way with it. And as crazy as I sometimes find it myself… I never stop looking for a way to share this with others. Where I can encourage and support those who also feel this within themselves to take it seriously and find their way to deal with it, to be with it, to walk with it.
And for me – and everyone I’ve ever met with it – sooner or later it’s hitting…
Points of decision.
Deciding which reality I trust.
Which reality I give priority to.
Which reality I choose.
Which path I choose.
And which path I then WALK.
It is always a matter of recognizing, then deciding and then going. Over and over and over again. In all possible facets, on all possible levels. In all the places where life shows me where I have not yet made up my mind.
That is the way. At least that is my path. And the path on which I accompany others.

If there is one thing that I would describe as a fundamental difference on this path, it is the inner attitude in with which I encounter life – that what appears inside or outside of me:
Do I see what life gives me
as FOR or AGAINST me?
Do you see what life gives you
as FOR or AGAINST you?
For me, gaining awareness of this fundamental inner attitude is at the heart of everything that is to come. And I’m not talking about an affirmation or “covering it up” here. I’m really talking about the fundamental attitude of ones entire system, which is determined by the deepest layers.
And in my experience, the awareness of the levels sinks deeper and deeper, step by step. And it gets interesting at the points where “I” perceive life as being “against me”… But there is a fundamental decision about the basic direction – which gives us our basic orientation, which we can refer to on our path. And it makes a massive difference whether the decision there is FOR or AGAINST:
In the attitude that life is AGAINST me,
I experience myself as the VICTIM of life.
What I am and what happens to me
I experience as suffering.
In the attitude that life is FOR me,
I experience myself as a PARTNER of life.
Through what I am and what happens to me,
I am invited to get to know myself and life even more deeply
and to reconnect with what is whole.
And that makes all the difference. This step alone, a change in our inner attitude, can move worlds. And provide orientation, a compass for a truly new life – within ourself, in our personal life, for everyone around us and ultimately… for the big picture.

I personally believe that only from this level
– the innermost point of decision in every human being –
we can transform this world.
From the way it is now – into a real Garden of Eden. And yes, I believe that this is possible. Without even the tiniest idea of how long it will take. But when I look far and deep, I see life and everything that is like this: On the way to paradise. As crazy and crude as that may seem. As little as we understand it and as terrible as it sometimes seems. Life is a permanent invitation: to make a decision.
And when I look at the world as it is right now, with everything that is coming to the surface… Then yes, I find it terrible. But it also shows me that it can only come up because our capacity to see it has grown. To see ourselves, what we are, what we are doing to ourselves and the world, and all the multiple corners where we – EVERYONE – is still stuck in separation, judgment and fear. And I see and experience more and more people standing up and acknowledging their alignment and – going for it. For themselves, for their children, for their environment, for the world.
And every single one counts.
Every step, every point of decision counts.
Nothing is left out.
Everything and everyone is important.
And that is exactly what is currently giving me the courage to go further. And to dare to step out of my personal circle and stand in the world with my truth. To become visible. Because so often it has helped me to hear from others who are on this path. So often it has helped me to be reminded by others when I couldn’t do it myself.
And that is also a reality: you cannot walk this path alone, it is far too much. This path can only be walked together. And everyone who shows themselves and confesses gives others the opportunity to show themselves and confess, and to grow together. Step by step into the experience of a new world.
It is here, among us.
