Manu has combined all his scientifically grounded knowledge, years of expertise, and personal experiences into seven e-books that he gladly wants to share with like-minded people, colleagues, those who are “searching” in their lives, and the curious.

Each book has its own title but together they form the series under the common title “In Me I Trust.” All books, except “The Ultimate Self-Coaching Guide,” are written in English… just so you know.

Out of love for trees and forests, please keep it on the screen. Thank you very much.

Tell me more first about The 7 Seals

Have you ever wondered why the pyramids of Giza have the “4 & 3” shape they do—a square base with three triangular, upward-pointing sides? Have you ever wondered why the number 7 is so widely used in nearly all spiritual and religious traditions, including the major world religions today (7 candles on the original Menorah, 7 Archangels, 7 circuits around the Ka’aba, 7 chakras, and more)?

The question can also be asked this way: Do you want to experience and embody Heaven on Earth?

After reading this book, you will have a deeper understanding of the meaning of the number 7, and above all, what it means for you personally and where you can (re)find these aspects within your own being! Knowledge of these 7 will allow you to experience that Heaven on Earth—provided you put this knowledge into practice. Become your own healer, know your 7 “seals.” The book also contains meditation exercises focused on locating, visualizing, and experiencing these 7 aspects within yourself.

Have you ever heard of so-called Sacred Geometry, including the symbol of the Flower of Life, which can be found in many countries and eras—going back to Ancient Egypt and possibly even further in time? Have you ever heard of the concept of “wu wei”—“doing by not doing,” or “action through inaction”?

The question can also be asked like this: Do you want to learn more about how you yourself help shape the reality you experience?

After reading this book, you will be able to understand a fundamental aspect of the world and life itself—or rather, your world and your life—by grasping the underlying message and meaning of this symbolism. Furthermore, the book describes energetic structures within your being—such as your seven-layered self, one of the three sevens in the 777 message—and helps you comprehend your true nature and that of what we call “Reality.” You co-create your reality—the one you experience.

The book also includes exercises to meditate on these insights or to apply them in your daily life.

Regardless of your religious (non-)affinity, what does the figure of Jesus–Yeshua–Isa mean to you? What do you see in the image of the crucified Christ that hangs at the front of many Christian churches, behind the altar? What does this image evoke in you? And the Stations of the Cross? You don’t have to be Christian to use and apply the messages of this symbolism for a liberated life. Did you know, by the way, that the sacred book of the Quiché Maya, the Popol Vuh, shows many similarities with the holy books of Judaism and—thus—the Old Testament of Christianity? The Maya arrived at very similar descriptions and symbolism entirely independently. Curious how that was possible?

The question can also be asked this way: Do you want to be a more balanced person who, instead of being pulled back and forth between two poles (feeling–thinking, being–doing, negative–positive, bad–good, angry–peaceful, etc.), can consciously use both sides of yourself in balance in life?

For a balanced life and all the positive benefits this can bring you—in terms of inner peace, self-knowledge, true Love, and more?

After reading this book, you will gain insight into the duality—the dual aspects—that are present in your very being. You are a combination of many complementary, opposing poles. These determine how you experience your life. The book describes how you can consciously (learn to) balance these opposites with the help of the insights and messages contained in many spiritual and religious symbols and stories. The message of the book is that only through knowledge and balance of both poles can a person “enter Paradise.” If you want to live in “Paradise,” you should know that it is not a place but a level of Consciousness that everyone can reach. Through our ability to (self-)awareness, we can guide ourselves toward a “paradisiacal” life. This book shows you the way.

These two books provide an overview of the most recent developments in human knowledge regarding the origin of the Universe and… humanity. You’ll get a summary of what sciences developed in the Western world over the past centuries have discovered up to today, from the beginning of this Universe until the day you read this book. In many cases, today’s scientific knowledge is a translation and rediscovery of what the “wise ones” of earlier times had already discovered and tried to convey through symbolism.

After reading Part I, you’ll be able to hold your own in conversations about the origin of the Universe, the various models circulating around it, as well as our solar system and its formation, and the origin of life on Earth… up to the present day. You’ll also learn what distinguishes you as a human being.

After reading Part II, you can view and approach all the information from Part I from a broader perspective—the so-called “bigger picture”—philosophically, spiritually, and in terms of worldview.

Part I offers an overview of recent insights humanity has gained through scientific thinking, mixed with what the wise ones of long ago knew—matters that are at least equally important to understand what Life, your life, is really about.

Part II contains the philosophical and spiritual interpretation of all this. The “why” question is not one that science answers. We must look elsewhere for meaningful answers. This part of the book translates everything again into what it means for you as a human being, in a society of people, part of the greater whole we call Nature, this Planet, this Planetary system, this Solar system, this Galaxy we call the Milky Way, and this Universe.

Your place in all this is… well, read the books.

There are two things in Life that never, ever lie: your body and your life!

There are three insights that are extremely important in your life: 1) you co-create your reality, 2) everything in life is your mirror, and 3) it’s all ‘just’ a story—but it’s your story!

Read in this book how I came to these insights. Read it as an example of how a life—just like yours—can evolve once you look at life’s experiences with an open mind and, above all, an ‘open consciousness’… and start exploring ever deeper layers of your identity—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Self-knowledge is the beginning of all wisdom… and the end of many illusions, and hopefully the end of the Great Illusion. Everything around you is a mirror to look into; that mirror shows how you really are inside. Let yourself be taken along on this journey of discovery—not of distant destinations but of deep destinations… within!

Setting out without an initial destination, yet arriving at the one question of all questions in Life. The answer? Read the book.
