“We went through all different stages. It is indeed not a shortcut method. Really listening, looking into each others eyes, being honest, no judgments no fears, staying with your own experience while next to you somebody is screaming, crying or having the giggles. It all builds up slowly.

It wasn’t easy, you get fed-up, exhausted, annoyed, you want to go home, you think you are crazy doing this, more exhaustion. But once you pass this, it gets very interesting, the energy became very powerful. Different parts of my body started to feel opening, my heart, my third eye, other places in my head. Many sensations, a strong heart pulse, extreme cold, then hot, feeling engulfed by love, loosing boundaries.

I don’t consider myself Enlightened after this, but it surely has been an incredible time with very special experiences. The technique itself doesn’t have any religious input, at the same it could fit any; the energy certainly became sacred towards the end.

Searching ‘Who am I?’ has given me, in a very short time, an incredible insight into many aspects of my life. In that emptying mind all sorts of clear connections were made. So much understanding of patterns in my life. And behind all that, I re-connected very deeply with this strong part of me, that desires to merge with what many people call God, and which I cannot name. Maybe it’s light. At one stage I wanted to live like this every day, like a monk or so. Doing everything contemplating, with full attention and grace, and with gratefulness. But I realized that in our age we have no time to meditate full-time for years. The planet needs people to live and work in the community too; transformation and healing are so necessary. And that’s why this technique is so wonderful; retreating for a few days and reconnect with our deepest self and our spiritually, cleansing ourselves and hopefully experiencing the Truth, whatever it may be. It is an experience that will always stay with you.” E.V.H
“Three days of ‘Who am I?’ On that last walk in the cool night air I could hear crisp and clear the sound of leaves turning, blown by the wind on the path. With every slow step: ‘Who am I?’ I put everything into my contemplation. Then: trees, night sky, path and I became suddenly familiar. The bell rang for the last session I went back into the room, awkward and happy, but hardly daring to say to my partner: I was always here, I am the world.” S.A

"I understood the river and the rocks. Barefoot I entered the cold river but this time it was neither cold nor warm, it was just water. Water was just water. I understood the stream." S.T.
