Time: 0.25

Hi guys.

Time: 1.208

Ehm...

Time: 2.75

The book.

Time: 4.416

My life’s work...

Time: 6.458

actually.

Time: 7.583

It’s based on deep emotional trauma

Time: 11.708

and life itself.

Time: 13.416

And it’s amazing

Time: 15.541

How life’s lesson’s get to you.

Time: 18.458

It’s all in here.

Time: 20.625

And I beat the deepest of myself,

Time: 23.375

coming to the surface

Time: 24.875

Right here..

Time: 26.333

In this book

Time: 27.416

It’s all coming.

Time: 28.916

I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Time: 31.375

I’m going to read chapter number six...

Time: 34.5

"Olaya."

Time: 36.666

To move forwards sometimes you’ll have to go back...

Time: 40.125

In this case...

Time: 41.625

It means going back to...

Time: 43.708

my years as a squatter.

Time: 46.958

And in a squatters home,

Time: 48.666

which was a large abandoned orphanage,

Time: 51.583

I was surrounded by 'free thinkers'.

Time: 56.333

Poets.

Time: 57.875

Artists.

Time: 59.166

and musicians.

Time: 60.875

Dwelling there with free minds.

Time: 63.25

Letting go...

Time: 64.916

Letting go off judgement...

Time: 66.291

Off pre conceived notions,

Time: 68.5

Allows you to see where you really are at.

Time: 76.041

…I’d come out and get dressed.

Time: 78.041

And do my exercises right there by the waterside.

Time: 81.333

Completely in control and within myself.

Time: 84.208

And in that state I was able to do

Time: 86.541

somersaults,

Time: 87.458

perform splits,

Time: 88.708

Do push-ups,

Time: 89.625

Whatever!

Time: 91.083

It was like my body had gained an unknown told power.

Time: 96.916

And the more I did it the stronger this power became...

Time: 101.916

It was within my awakening to this power that I met the woman I would marry.

Time: 107.666

I was at the gathering

Time: 109.583

at the squatters home,

Time: 110.666

and saw her dancing.

Time: 113.458

She was so beautiful.

Time: 115.333

Long curly hair, bright eyes, full lips.

Time: 118.208

Just lovely!

Time: 121.416

There she was.

Time: 122.708

Dancing right in front of me,

Time: 125.416

and I was mesmerised.

Time: 127.25

Just...

Time: 128

absolutely transfixed.

Time: 130.291

And then...

Time: 131

To my astonishment.

Time: 132.708

She came over and sat down next to me.

Time: 135.708

She told me her name...

Time: 138.833

"Olaya."

Time: 140.916

So beautiful.

Time: 143.5

Something was happening there.

Time: 145.541

There was an energy between us.

Time: 148.208

But then suddenly...

Time: 149.458

she was gone.

Time: 151.083

I had gone for a quick dip in Vondelpark’s pond…

Time: 154.416

and she had disappeared.

Time: 157.541

I was heart broken.

Time: 159.333

So I went and sat down on the stage where they do performances in the park.

Time: 163.958

And then…

Time: 164.875

from out of nowhere...

Time: 167.333

I felt hands on my back.

Time: 169.541

It was Olaya,

Time: 171.125

and she was giving me a massage.

Time: 173.791

And in that moment I truly let go...

Time: 176.916

No fear.

Time: 177.833

No inhibition.

Time: 178.875

I just grabbed her and hugged her.

Time: 181.333

And I knew right then and there...

Time: 183.958

that we were in love.
