My special connection to “them up there”
Submitted by: Stefanie Jänsch
Gelsenkirchen, Germany- born 1969 in Essen, Germany - went to school with quite a lot success - studied German and English - learned to be a language therapist - been in psychotherapy for about 22 years because of depressions - married, two children of age 11 and 16 - in my biography things weren't always pleasant. Actually most of the time, they weren't. But, as this is past, I don't like to talk or write about them any longer. I try to be thankful every day. I am gifted being able to find a way to understand people. I love to make music, either just singing or playing the guitar, the d-low-tin-whistle, or just spoons or whatever may make a sound sounding nice to my ears. I am able to write poems of some sort of power, and I love to paint, too. I love dancing, swimming, sports... actually there is not much I do not like, as I think about it. At least, meanwhile. And I think this to be very, very good.
Since I was a child, I searched for God. Sometimes I struggled with Him, because things did not develop the way I wanted them to. Once I was very angry with Him, because I felt badly treated. So I told Him that I would never ever believe in Him again, no matter whatever I would say in the future.
That turned me into trouble with my own principles. It was clear that I came to the point where I wished I had never said something like this to God, and I feared He’d never forgive me that. So I turned my face to the sky – still I do this today if I talk to God or His universe – and asked Him what to do to make him forgive me. And suddenly the words came into my mind, just automatically in the same way I sometimes let the universe compose a song through my mind. I heard a voice saying: “Do it vice versa.” “Ok,” I thought, and it took me some time to figure it out; but at last I smiled to the sky and cried out: “Whatever I may have said in the past, from now on I will believe in you forever!” Well, and I did.
I was nine years old that time. And there was this nice guy in my class at school. He was from the States, but his father’s job in Germany was done, so this boy would now leave Germany. I was sad about that, I liked him. So again I turned my eyes to the sky and asked: “Is there any chance for that guy to stay here for a little longer?” It seemed a magical moment, and when I returned into the classroom after the holidays, I really expected the American boy to be sitting in his place. But he wasn’t there. At first I did not understand. My second thought was: “Well, of course, stupid girl! It was clear that he would return home! You should have known that! You are not important enough for receiving gifts like that from Heaven!”
It was about an hour later, when the door opened, and guess who stood there with a wide grin on his face?
“My dad will stay another year in Germany,” he said. I think it was that time that I recognized The Secret the first time. I understood that this could not be “just an accident”.
But through a very tough life concerning my childhood and youth with many bad things, I had no idea how to get along with the following depressions, the wish to die or how to escape from bad thoughts.
Your book helped me through one of the biggest crises in my life. But it was before I read The Secret that I “ordered” a new and very good friend from the universe, a friend who knows how to make Orders To Universe and who can tell me more about the secrets of life, perhaps…
One day later I met Sabine, and she gave me “The Secret”. I read it within two days, and since then every day again. My husband read the book. One week later, the bell rang at the door; he opened it, and there was the postman. I remember that funny impression on my husband’s face, as he said: “You won’t believe this. This is my first universal order. I just ordered it last night. And here it is. It’s a book about guitars. Wow.”
My elder son actually is the best of us in ordering, and he knew in a magical way more than me about universal orders even before he saw the DVD “The Secret”. Which prooves again how things and thoughts never are apart from each other.
After having read the book, I decided to change my life, to work less and spend more time with my family. Shortly after I was offered a job seeming wonderful. But the universe had to send two more people telling me: “You should take this offer, jobs like this aren’t offered every day!” Well, I looked up into the sky and said: “Okay okay. I know, sometimes I don’t listen very well, but I see that you put quite a lot of effort into making me see.” I changed my life, took this new job, and it is the first time in my life I don’t really seem to “work” there. It is fun!
I could write so many examples of how brilliantly The Secret works in this world, whether we know it or not. It would fill another book, and I don’t want to overdo things, so…
But, as a gift to you, I will send you the lyrics of a German song from church, which is called: Thank You for This Good Morning. I sing it every morning under the shower. Makes me feel better. By the way: I have no wish to kill myself any longer. Which, from the point of view of my history that I won’t tell you, really is a miracle, I can tell you.
