The English version of part 2 and 3 is still in progress and will be available soon.
Foreword
I intuitively knew in my youth that I would one day write this book, when I began my search for an inner path to God. Even then, I felt a deep urge to uncover the truth behind this apparent life and its events.
I realized that the problems I brought with me from my childhood and youth had to be fundamentally solved - and that this could ultimately only be done by searching for the reality of God.
In my youth, I began a long search that led me deeper and deeper.
Sometimes I thought I had found the answers, but then I fell into a crisis of faith again and had to search even deeper. When I thought I already knew so much, I was shown that I hadn't actually understood anything yet.
In recent years, I have had numerous mystical experiences in which God revealed to me an inner path.
It is not exactly the path I once imagined in my younger years. Time and again, I had to let go of my own ideas.
This book describes what God has revealed to me through many different experiences over the course of my life.
Ultimately, the important thing is this:
This path works—and it brings us closer to God in a real way.
In recent years, my mystical experiences have become more frequent and intense. Many of them were a true surprise.
The path and the principle behind it have become increasingly clear, and now the time has come to share them with you.
In Part 1: A Mystical Approach, I would like to give an introduction to mysticism - the path of meditation and prayer - from an interfaith perspective.
Here some central concepts are explained and deepened. I would like to invite you to explore the deep levels of being within yourself.
Part 2: The Path of Prayer – Phases and Phenomena explores the nature of mystical experiences, as well as the phases and manifestations on the inner journey to God. In this section, I will share my experiences with you.
Part 3: The Practice of the Inner Path is dedicated to practical application. The central question here is: What must we actually do to advance on this path?
