A Few Words from the Author 

Writing The Fourth Testament was a rocky journey, including a divorce, a lot of pain, and an accelerated path, which means a challenging path, to connect with cosmic truth.

It exposed me to many mistakes and embarrassing behaviors, all with the goal of teaching me how to live grounded yet connected with the cosmos.

I believe I've gone through a similar path as most men, following the same illusions and learning roughly the same lessons.

Life isn’t as surprising as it seems, especially when you reflect on your own journey and meet people who are facing the same struggles you once faced. There are many different paths, but only one true way, as the saying goes.

For a man, the key to life is really to connect with our ability to feel, because without this, we are imprisoned in our mind, failing to understand our fellow sisters and failing to understand ourselves.

Many say women have been victims of patriarchy, and that is true, but men have also been victims, often in the role of perpetrator.

In fact, women are closer to enlightenment than men, which, however, offers little comfort when what they truly desire are strong and sensitive men to share their lives with.

Consequently, a man who heals his trauma and connects with his ability to feel is a sought-after gem among healed women.

I have experienced this firsthand. After forty years of feeling invisible to women, something has shifted. I'm sharing this only to inspire men to heal.

Don’t waste your time in the gym, unless you truly love it, of course, but start to feel. This is where you will transform your life.

Get out of your rigid minds and become a bit more feminine. However, not too much, because we are still men who love to create a bold vision, make a plan, and execute it!

To all of you women, I have a few things to say as well.

You need to become more confident in yourself, and hopefully, The Fourth Testament has given you greater confidence to nurture your strengths and perhaps release some of your harmful masculine tendencies.

Did this sound ambiguous? How can you become stronger and less masculine at the same time?

What I mean is that you must become stronger on your own home turf by learning to listen and trust much more in your feelings, rather than trying to be so good citizens by following the established norms of what is right and wrong.

And you must stop believing that sexuality is for men and not for you, because it is almost the opposite, once you have healed a bit more.

Talking about it, I believe your path to sexual freedom is to progress slowly, but avoid the feminine tendency of not progressing at all, as you might be already overburdened by work, children, and an infinite list of to-dos.

How can you deal with this? The short answer is that here you must become more masculine, just like men must become more feminine.

You must learn from men how to put yourselves first, and if your men cannot accept that, you must leave them.

There is no other way.

Probably, learning to put themselves first is as difficult for women as it is for men to feel, which just reflects who we are.

Men are inward-oriented and women are outward-oriented, and so will it be, until we have evolved enough that we can be everything.

Then we have entered paradise.

On a last note, please help me spread The Fourth Testament.

I have no intention to travel to every corner of the world to spread this, but live an amazing life, doing everything I love doing.

Of course, I will work my hours three to four days a week as I believe we all should, but I won’t be there for everyone.

The book is available for free online, but donations from those who have read it or support through buying the physical copy are greatly appreciated!
