Prologue

My name is Judy; I am now 44 years old; and I believe in changing the world. How? By helping people find their own personal happy, because many happy people add up to a happy world.

First, let me tell you a little about myself. I was a happy child with a disposition for depression. Of course, no one knew that at the time. Born shortly after the second World War in Germany, my parents grew up with very little money, very little food and very little time for love and affection. My father met his father when he was five years old in 1947, after he returned from two years of Russian imprisonment.

My grandfather was very strict and abusive which, of course, led to a rather troubled childhood for my father. Compared to my granddad, my father was great. Compared to other dads, he was very strict, high tempered, unpredictable, and never refused to give a good old spanking. He was also career-oriented, making a lot of money and granting my brother and me almost every wish possible. As you can see, for me growing up, this was quite a roller coaster and way too much to have to deal with as a child.

When I was sixteen years old, my dark phase began. I loved sad poetry, dark music and anything dramatic. I had dyed my hair black and spent my time obsessed with death, hoping to be rescued by someone handsome who would understand and love every part of me. During really hard times, I cut my arm with an old, dull razor. Not very deep at all, just enough to see a little blood. It helped release some of the unexplainable pain and pressure I felt inside. On top of all of that, I was not interested in anything really, except for hanging out with my best friend. I did not understand the world; my grades were average or below; and it was just not possible to motivate me for anything. Looking back, I am often surprised about how things always just seemed to work out for me even though I did nothing for it. I guess the universe played a very important part in leading me in certain directions.

Eventually I snapped out of it. It was a rational decision, actually. I decided to grow up, changed everything about myself and fell in love with a student of law. I dressed up pretty; my hair was almost blond; I stopped painting dark and gloomy pictures; and I pretended to be happy. No, I actually believed I was happy.

My husband was not a very nice man. I wasn’t able to find a nice man, because when you are broken on the inside, you don’t get what you want; you get what you need. And I needed to learn. But did I understand? No. How could I? I had no knowledge of life and having been raised by a very stern father who would not accept any kind of talk back what so ever, I believed it to be normal to be bossed around and humiliated. I never stood up for myself because I always believed I was wrong. I didn’t want to be overly sensitive or a problem for anyone. I just wanted to be loved, and I did everything I could to make my husband love me. But he didn’t. He was an absolute narcissist, not capable of loving anyone but himself, and I was so far away from the person I was meant to be, that I wasn’t even able to love myself.

And still, we had three wonderful children together. Then, when our youngest was only 9 months old, I had my first mental breakdown. At first, I did not realize what it was because it felt just like a horrible stomach flu. Only I could not vomit. I simply felt incredibly sick physically and absolutely terrified and hopeless mentally. My world had turned black from one second to the next, and I was completely lost. The medication I received started working after about three weeks, and I was capable of taking care of things again. Not the way I functioned before the breakdown, though. Before, I had a part time job, took care of the kids and the apartment and supported my husband with his own business. After the breakdown, I did not feel capable of working next to all the other things I had on my plate. Having to go back to work simply terrified me because I still suffered from anxiety. My husband, on the other hand, was not capable of supporting the family by himself, although he never really admitted it. Me not working made him angry which lead to him treating me even worse. Of course, I let it happen. I gave him the freedom to treat me the way he did. I did not defend myself, nor did I set any boundaries. At first. After many hours of talking to my dearest friend, I realized something was very wrong. But it was too late. So many things had happened that there was no fixing this relationship. After one year of struggle, I left my husband.

My life started to change when I read the book: “Ich Stehe Nicht Mehr Zur Verfügung” by Olaf Jacobsen. It is a German book, and roughly translated it would be called “I am no longer available.” Although the book mostly talked about the roles people play and the energies one can absorb without knowing it, it opened the door for me to a whole new spiritual world. You see, I was always a believer, yet I was never religious. I just cannot identify with any of the religions I got to know. But I always knew, there is more than meets the eye and we don’t come out of nowhere. The book which then ultimately changed my life is called: “Quanten Herz” (quantal heart) by Céline Kever. The book explains the seven hermetic universal principles and offers exercises and tools to change your life. For me, this book made so much sense. I finally understood what life is all about, where we come from and why, and how important it is to take personal responsibility for your life and your happiness.

I did have another breakdown. Thankfully, it was not as bad as the first one. I do have to take medication, because my new psychiatrist explained to me that my condition is inherited. It is caused by a hormonal imbalance, and the medication I receive treats just that which leads to me being capable and awake and enthusiastic about life and love and everything beautiful.

My journey up until now was a long and very difficult one, even if it may not appear so in this rather short summary. I had many, very hard life lessons to endure until I finally found myself and recognized my own self-worth. I have received many chances and opportunities, and the more I learned, the more support I received and the easier it got. After my first breakdown and leaving my husband, I had no job, no supporting family, a rundown apartment and no hope. Now I have a new partner, and we live in a wonderful house with the kids, three cats and four guinea pigs. We own two horses and have jobs and a wonderful circle of friends. I am not where I want to be just yet, but I am very happy where I am.

I sincerely hope that this book will help you go to wherever you wish to be.
