Dears Friends,

I have had many intense discussions with people who read “Triumph Of Love Over Ego” in its first German version. I have taken the insights gained from these discussions into consideration when I revised, expanded and completed the second edition of this book and would outline them as follows:

1 This book does not aim to ban ego and egoists from this world – that would mean all of us would be banned! There is no shame in being egoists, because we were not taught to be anything else. We are all egoists, to a greater or lesser degree. And yet we need to pull together and work together for a better world. This is why this book has no interest in judging or condemning egoists and egoism. Ego originates from a lack of love, and egoists are people who have had no, or very little, experience of love. Love is the only way out of ego. That is why we should treat our own ego, and other egoists, with consideration, patience and love.The more an egoist is exposed to true love, the more his ego shrinks in size and the more he grows in spirit.

2 This book is written in simple language, so that it is accessible to anyone. But this simplicity should not deceive us into assuming that we’ve comprehended all there is to comprehend by skimming or speed-reading through it just once. It is really important to understand that this easy-to-read text has very deep and far-reaching consequences, but we need to be prepared to comprehend it and act on it!

3 My next point is the fact that a mere understanding of something does not necessarily get us anywhere: 1) we need to really grasp the insights given in this book, and their consequences; 2) we must compare our own life to the content of this book, to acquire self-awareness; 3) we need to correct the weaknesses we have identified in our character and our life by putting our newly acquired insights into practice. Any insight is useless if we do not act on it and integrate it into our life. It is only by amending our behaviour that we are able to master our own shortcomings and distinguish ourselves from the egoists. It is also important to realize that even simple insights need to be implemented. Implementation tends to be much more difficult than simply understanding something.

4 How to read this book: we can read this book in any way that makes sense to us. We can open it haphazardly and read whatever we find. We can pick out those topics from the list of contents that are currently of interest to us. But I would urge you to read this book all the way through. Only then are you likely to be able to comprehend the inner principles and the essence of this book in its entirety. When watching a movie, it pays off if you resist the temptation of fast-forwarding to the exciting bits, and it is the same with this book: try to resist the temptation of first reading only those chapters that you are particularly interested in. Many topics build on and complete each other. I have written this in a way that repeats important insights in different contexts. This way I can support you within every topic and every chapter, so that we can advance together towards the inner triumph of love over ego.

5 The purpose and the aim of this book is a transformation in our consciousness and in our soul. This means that we need to truly consider the content of a chapter, so that we can absorb it. Only when we revise our thinking can insights from this book be of use. Similarly, we need to revise our emotions, feelings and perceptions. The transformation in our spirit helps us to attain more divine, harmonious and benevolent emotions that lead us towards our true being of light, love and perfection. This way, we are more and more able to leave behind negative and ugly deeds, thoughts, feelings and intentions and instead become more beautiful, healthy, wealthy and happy! So – let us be light in our consciousness and in our soul. Enlightenment is entering into a state of light in our consciousness. Salvation is entering into a state of light in our soul.

Let there be light!
