Dear visitor,

my name is Torsten, and I am the founder of Astrobiomancy Ltd. Originally hailing from Germany, I am now living and working in Cyprus, and I am fluent in both English and German. I am also the author of the book “Fat – Chance to heal”, which was written under the pseudonym Walt Satyre (an anagram).

With that said, isn't it interesting how often we use the words "I" or "my" in our daily language? In the short descriptive paragraph above they were used five times. The funny thing is, that which is being described doesn't really exist. This "I" that we talk about all day long is imagined, and with it, all its pleasures and pains, its joys and sorrows, its loves and hates.

Countless people are looking to better their lives in one way or another, whether it is improving health or relationships, manifesting wealth and abundance, or the elusive goal of reaching enlightenment. Almost everybody is seeking something, believing that it will improve their existence if only they could have it.

Most likely, you are one of those seekers. I was one of them, too. Always searching, always wanting, always trying to do this or to get that. Yet as soon as a goal was reached, it was replaced by another. It was never enough. Satisfaction was there, but always only for a moment. A neverending cycle. It only ended when I realized that I was the problem. Literally.

Today, this life is characterized by an almost uninterrupted state of peace, stillness, contentment, gratitude and love, interspersed with moments of joy, and even bliss. The mind is quiet when it is not needed. This silent peacefulness radiates outward, but it is totally unremarkable and unobtrusive. It can be felt by those who have trained their energetic perception, yet most of us never realize it when we are in the presence of no one in particular, because we tend to put our own labels on who and what we perceive. As long as we identify as a distinctive I, there must also be a not-I, or a you, and that you will be whatever it needs to be to fulfill its purpose in the story. Once the identification with that particular I is gone, however, the you is gone as well, and all that remains is the story itself. Now, we are the story.

This story, in the case of Torsten, included years and years of learning about spirituality, metaphysics, psychology, astrology, healing, diets, and many other things. There were countless hours of meditation and self-inquiry, as well as more and more refined energy work, removing all kinds of blockages and other stuff in what may be called the various energetic bodies of the self. All of that led to a steady expansion of the sense of self. To call it a bigger ego would be entirely correct, but it might lead to misunderstandings :)

Now, while the same I is still alive and well, and always will be, whatever form it may take in the story, it must no longer be protected, and its standpoint must no longer be defended, because it was realized that no matter what happens to that I, it endures in some form or another. What has changed, is that the former identification with a separate self, be that a human being, a soul, or whatever, has turned into identification with all and nothing simultaneously. This state is characterized by a relative absence of resistance to what is, and with that comes a lightness and ease which is unlike anything that is felt while there is still a strong identification with a limited self. While the ego remains, and keeps interacting with other egos as it must, in order to play its part in the story, there is no longer a sense that this is all of who or what I am.

Reaching that state, or any higher state, is not an accomplishment, because there is no one there who could take credit for anything. It just happened, like all of creation just happens. It is natural to feel a pull towards more expanded states of consciousness at some point in life, because it frees us more and more from resistance, desires, attachments, and all that keeps us shackled to the wheel of reincarnation. Therefore, help and guidance are offered to those who yearn for an experience that is, from their perspective, better.
