PREFACE
Dear reader, this book is based on my 50-plus years of research into balancing my life, finding inner peace and being happy with myself. As you will find out, it has been a long, winding road, but eventually I have succeeded. Helping myself has also enabled me to help tens of thousands of my patients, and later on hundreds of thousands of people through this book and my workshops. This book has already been published in Dutch and was a bestseller. This improved and updated English edition contains my latest ideas, discoveries and techniques. I have discovered new ways to help heal our immortal souls, so you are in for a great journey. I have made it really easy for you and it does not require a big investment of your time, but will give you a big return in quality of life. This book offers many tools to enrich your life and heal the past. It can guide you on your path to inner peace. Read it more than once; it gives you back more each time you read it. Then start using the special Emotional Healing Formula and other Emotional Balancing exercises.
Share this knowledge with others and help each other; in the beginning and end we are all One.
Live each day as if it were your last, but with no regrets.
Do it your way, because that is the only way!
I hope we will meet somewhere in this space-time event to share our many healing stories and learn more from each other.
Wishing you a great journey, which in fact is no journey.

INTRODUCTION
THE THREE LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS
With all the doom and gloom around due to the economic crisis, at one of my recent workshops on the Law of Attraction, one participant piped up, Its easy for you to say that we attract what we need; you are successful and you have enough money, but thats not the case for all of us!
I smiled and replied, You are absolutely right, it is easy for me to say, but not for the reasons you mention. Success is not what you think it is. The fact that I have 300 people in the room and you believe I make more money than you is not a measure of my success. The fact is that I attracted this group here, yes, but the question is: was it the result of luck, smart marketing or science? What I want you to believe is that a science is behind it. This science is made up of two parts: Inner and Outer. The Inner part is how I feel about myself. Do I consider myself worthy enough? Do I feel happy about what I am doing? Do I feel that by doing what I am doing I am giving something of value to the participants? The Outer is the marketing, the brochures and the website. I might be able to fool a lot of people with just the Outer part, but they would never come back and would leave dissatisfied with the workshop, if my Inner work did not match their expectations. When my Inner matches my Outer and both are aligned in positive energy, my success will increase and be consistent. Word of mouth is the best marketing that exists.
In the end it is not about money, it is about being happy being you. Do you accept where you are right now? Have you decided to take more control of your future, or are you just going to wait and see if your luck changes? If what you have is not what you want, then you have to do everything you can to change so you will attract more of what you want. And then you keep doing that, changing your strategies until you have manifested what you want. I am willing to do what is necessary. Are you? If the answer is yes, I can teach you how. The end result is always the ultimate success: being happy with who you are, where you are and what you have, and who you share it with.
The workshop participant looked at me and said simply, Thank you!
We all have one thing in common: we want to be happy. Happiness can mean a roof over your head, enough to eat, healthy children or a happy relationship. Some people seek a higher form of happiness, sometimes known as bliss. Bliss is what I refer to as the highest expression of happiness.
In order to reach a state of bliss and maintain this, we need to distinguish between three levels of happiness.
Level 1: Competitive Happiness
This we see in sport, business, war, games, gambling, school, etc. We feel happy when we win and are ahead of others. This form of happiness is always transient, however, and may sooner or later turn against us. Some people get stuck at this level and can become very unhappy and destructive when they lose.
Level 2: Conditional Happiness
This kind of happiness can be seen when we are very happy when we are young, strong, good-looking and full of energy, and become depressed when the symptoms of old age set in. We are happy when a child is born and become unhappy when that child turns into a hyperactive, uncontrollable brat or gets to puberty and rebels against us. We are happy with our friends as long as they are nice to us but not when they tell us something we dont want to hear. When we fall in love everything is fantastic, until a few years later when we are more critical. Conditional happiness never lasts and sooner or later we discover that things were not as we thought they were and we become unhappy with what we have.
Level 3: Unconditional Happiness
With this level of happiness, we need no outside stimulus to feel happy or at peace.
We have accepted the fact that we are fallible mortal human beings, we accept and welcome change, death and suffering. We are comfortable with both discomfort and pleasure, and are not attached to outcomes, but enjoy the process of experiencing life to its fullest. We are grateful for all the blessings and experiences that we have along the way and we are at peace with ourselves and others. We let go of the need to judge or be right, and we forgive easily. We also understand that we are one with the universe. We are, most of the time, in the turbulence-free zone that I call the still-point.
Still-point: the Place to Be
Bliss is the silence of perfection, which is the spectrum of all there is, like sunlight containing all colours. When we are in still-point we feel inner peace, harmony and love, and we know that all is good as it is, even if it is not what we want. When we are not connected to our natural state of being in harmony with ourselves and our surroundings, we feel alone, abandoned, unloved, rejected and powerless.
