SYMBOLION

AND CITY WITHOUT STARS

INSPIRATION

Symbolion and a journey full of stories

In fact, I didn’t start writing, but meditating. Writing and meditation are like old friends to me – inseparable and indispensable. Everything I write stems from my meditations and dreams. In meditation, I experience stories that come to me as parables, and I gradually uncover their meaning. I see stories that not only answer my questions but also possess such depth that I feel compelled to share them. I want them to reach as many people as possible, so they too can experience and feel what I do.

Can you imagine a library full of knowledge, with only one book meant just for you? Would you dare to search for the meaning of life in a small boat on a calm sea, where the only turbulence comes from your own thoughts, with no land in sight to offer refuge? Does God exist? And if so, where can He be found? Is life merely a game? And if it is, what can we gain from it? Is this the ultimate reality, or just its shadow?

Perhaps what truly matters isn’t where we’ll go one day, but who we’ll become along the way and what we’ll carry with us when we arrive.

Lucid dreams give my stories wings

Lucid dreams – do you know them? I have such dreams, and through them, I find myself in unknown worlds where things aren’t what they seem. Their true meaning must first be discovered, and that’s what fascinates me. I’ve woven stories from these peculiar realms into my novel, and thus, Symbolion was born – a parallel world where the boundaries between reality and dreams begin to blur.

How can we say with certainty which of these worlds is real? Perhaps both. Perhaps neither. And it’s this very mystery that draws me in and compels me to explore further.

In the end, you’ll find out that everything is about energy

My partner has been diagnosed with OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder). During one of the most challenging times, when we were running out of energy, I imagined a city where people like us live – but with energy bodies. These are the kinds of characters in my novel. Their energy isn’t infinite: on their journey, they can regain it, but they can also lose it – and if they lose it completely, they may dissolve forever.

Sometimes, I feel like these characters have lives of their own, maybe even when I’m not writing about them. It’s as if I’m just letting them exist. They can do almost anything – except for one thing: they must never give up. And because I am their creator, I simply won’t allow it. This is one of the most amazing privileges of being a creator.

Stories in parables are like a stone that hides a golden egg

I love storytelling. What about you? Do you enjoy mystery, sci-fi, and parallel worlds? If so, my stories are just for you. I wrote this book for readers who not only listen but can also read between the lines. Don’t be afraid to dive into the unknown. Discovering the true essence of reality through stories and parables is an adventure that can transform your perspective – you never know what awaits you at the end. It’s like walking through an unfamiliar landscape in a dream. You know you’ll wake up soon, but everything you uncover along the way stays with you.

As Greta, one of the characters in the novel, says:
„It is so simple to reach black and white conclusions. The truth. People brag so much about that. What do you actually know about the truth? When you uncover one part, you start claiming to know everything. But there will be a deeper layer beneath it. And another and another beneath that, until you get to the very essence. And all of these are the truth. Maybe you will never know them all. And me neither.“

Many answers come to people through dreams. Similarly, many great discoveries and inventions have often been born in the dreams of their creators. If you believe that knowledge is not finite and cannot be confined to a textbook form of transmission, then the world is like a workshop filled with endless creation. Nothing is predetermined, nothing is unchangeable, and there is always something new to uncover.

In the novel, you’ll recognize that you’re in the City because you will never see a starry sky there. Only the parallel reality of Symbolion will allow you to see the stars again. This is a story dedicated to those who have never lost their desire to explore.

My café sanctuary, where inspiration flows effortlessly. A cozy corner with the aroma of coffee, where thoughts easily find their way onto paper. This is where I write best.
