Karsten Massei – författare

How awake are we to our inner being, our true nature? How much self-knowledge do we really have?In relation to our intrinsic self, we can easily feel like a novice. In truth, we face a long journey before we can fully understand ourselves - and we are equally unpractised in relating to our 'shadow' and inner wounds. The path described in this book is an inward one, concerned with strengthening our individuality. Based on life-long research, Karsten Massei has created a valuable workbook for knowing and healing ourselves. In a series of short chapters, he explains the interplay and tensions between the human individual and the nature of our 'inner and cosmic child'. Both are complex entities but are directly related; both are deeply connected with our destiny. Our experiences with our inner child are often still in the earliest stages - but cultivating a relationship with her, noticing her, holding conversations with her, is vital, and offers us ever deepening experiences. As our insights expand, our frailties, deficiencies and inner wounds become apparent. The being of the inner child wants to educate us to become inwardly truthful and authentic. Only honest engagement with the traumas and vulnerabilities of our soul will enable a true picture of ourselves to arise.Child of the Cosmos contains surprising perspectives arising from the author's personal experiences, opening up a clear path of personal development. The text is complemented with seven special meditations to assist us in engaging with the challenges ahead.

‘Over time I realized that Sophia has long since united herself with the human being. It became apparent to me that her sphere of being has become the sphere of the human soul.’With a strong emphasis on personal inquiry, Karsten Massei provides a unique guide to inner pathways that lead to Sophia, using spiritual writings, meditations and imagery. He reveals Sophia as a goddess who embodies diverse aspects of ancient creative deities – such as Isis, Gaia, Athene and Persephone – who have accompanied humanity through the ages. Though each journey toward her is personal, they share a common goal: to deepen our understanding of life and infuse it with wisdom.This book invites readers to awaken their own direct experience of the spiritual being known as Sophia. Drawing on his personal spiritual investigations – and inspired by figures such as Hildegard of Bingen and Jacob Boehme, who both encountered Sophia consciously – Massei explores her relevance to our time, and her significance for the modern soul. Who is Sophia? How can we come to know her? And what can we do to develop our own insights and relationship with her? These are the questions at the heart of this profound and timely work.‘The gateway to Sophia is wide open… I was surprised that nothing obstructed my entry into her intrinsic sphere except my reticence, or perhaps my sense of inadequacy or lack of trust. Her light illumines our souls, whether we wish it or not.’
