The core of this novel is a conversation between the author and the fictional character called "Raphael". This encounter poses questions that have moved us humans for millennia: Where do we come from? Why are we here? Where do we go when our body dies?

As the title already suggests, these initial topics lead us to questions of how far karma and free will actually influences our actions, and how to assess any guilt of "wrongdoing" when one takes into account, that many actions are not only the result of free will, as much of what takes place on the stage of life, was previously written down in the "Book of Life".

Spiritual knowledge as well as the latest findings in quantum physics are taken into account in this novel. Many of the recommendations given by "Raphael" are based on the proclamations of the spiritual world. However, in no case do they replace medical or psychotherapeutic diagnoses, treatments, applications, procedures or medications.

Love your Enemies

I have known Gerd Steeger personally since 1984 when we both got to know each other while working for the same company, writing computer software in BASIC for MS-DOS computers of the time.

Gerd was very keen to learn about how to programme and was constantly calling me to ask questions on how to solve some problem. He was quick to learn, methodical in his thinking and motivated to get the work done. The art of programming computers requires you to be very precise when trying to solve a problem. You have to understand what each command does and every one has to have the correct syntax so that the software runs without bugs. If something is not working properly, you have to look carefully at every step to find out what is causing the problem and often be very creative in finding new ways to add new capabilities and functions to your software.

This highly analytical way of thinking, once learned, takes a hold of how you think in general. You quickly find yourself looking deeper into controversial news stories in order to find out what really happened. Then 9/11 happened and we both spent way too many hours investigating the reality of that tragic event, but that is not the topic of this book.

We both diversified our interests into other fields beyond programming. I took a deep interest in gadgets, photography, making videos, microscopes, alternative medicine and Dale Carnegie training whereas Gerd took an interest in finance, real estate, cryptology and spirituality. Just like Gerd had learned about programming from me, I learned more about spirituality from Gerd. We have been in constant contact with each other all these years and we both trust each other’s judgement.

Gerd has been working on this book for over 10 years, as a means of collecting what he had learned in his research of the topic. He has been just as thorough investigating this as any programmer is getting his software to work. Over 10 years, he has been writing and fine tuning his knowledge of the topic after discussing this with top experts in Germany and through his own spiritual connection to his deceased mother on the other side. I have been hearing numerous aspects of his research from Gerd over the years and that has also shaped my beliefs on the subject to a certain extent. In order to present his research, Gerd wrote this book in the form of a fictitious conversation with a mysterious figure called Raphael. This gives the story a compelling narrative and pulls the reader into a fascinating story which is also highly educational. I cannot tell you if the underlying message of the book is real, what I can tell you is that I know how much effort Gerd has put into this book and that he is convinced of what is said here and that is good enough for me.

Being British and living in Germany, I am fluent in German and have translated books into English before. Due to our long friendship, I was honoured when Gerd asked me to translate this book into English for him. With his permission and approval, this is not a simple translation, I have rewritten some parts to make them more understandable and readable to an English audience while keeping closely to his underlying story. If you are interested in finding out what is most likely to happen to you when you cross over to the other side, then you will find this book to be compelling reading.

Peter Walker, 28 September 2019

Nobody has been in your life without reason.

While one was a gift, the other was a lesson

and others still, were both.

That this day would become something special for me, was something I would never have guessed. The day began - as you'll read here – according to Murphy's law ("Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong"). It greeted me with a chain of unpleasant events. I got up as usual, brushed my teeth, took a shower, had a wet shave where I promptly cut myself. Although, my blood clots normally, it took quite a while for the bleeding to stop. I then got dressed and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. I filled my mug with hot coffee and just as I was bringing it to my mouth, the handle broke, the cup fell, smashed on the floor and covered my trousers in hot coffee. I changed my trousers and decided to continue my breakfast. This time, I consciously paid complete attention to my breakfast ceremony and there were no more incidents.

I briefly switched on the television to watch the news. The events surrounding the person convicted of rape had now been overshadowed by the continuing coverage of the German Airbus crash in the French Alps. The data had been recovered from the smashed voice recorder and analysed. The story went that it was presumed that the crash had been deliberately caused by the seemingly suicidal co-pilot. The flight captain, had gone to the toilet, and then tried for several minutes to get the co-pilot to open the cockpit door, without any chance of success.

This event had now completely distracted me from my own clumsiness. Imagining that you were the flight attendant or the captain yourself, for example, being perfectly aware of both the circumstances and the consequences of the co-pilot’s action, can cause a shiver down your spine. The flight captain could comprehend the helplessness of his passengers, a feeling of "being at mercy", a feeling of powerlessness. What drama must have taken place in front of that cockpit door until the plane crashed? What fears of death did the captain, flight attendants and passengers experience?
