From the earliest days when I first learned to form words—yes, in Dutch—I found myself quietly asking the universe: why was I born into this life? As gentle memories of other lifetimes surfaced, I hoped the answers would become clear. Yet, the mystery only deepened. Perhaps, as we walk this path together, you may find a reflection of your own soul’s journey within these pages. I invite you to join me as I share the unfolding of my story.

2001
I met Robin in 2001, who would become not only my soulmate but also my beloved husband. He was the one who brought my first novel, My Love, We Are Going Home, into the world. Many years later, the novel was retitled The Reality Shifters.
Robin and I had already been exchanging letters when he accepted my manuscript, but here’s the funny part: I was convinced he was a woman! In the Netherlands, where I was born, Robin is a trendy name for girls. So, you can imagine my surprise…
The first time Robin called and I heard his deep, gentle voice, I was so surprised I nearly dropped the phone. All those heartfelt letters, written with a Dutch woman in mind, suddenly took on a new meaning. I remember feeling both amused and a little shy. Yet, as destiny would have it, I soon found myself packing my bags for Cape Town, where our souls could finally meet and walk together.
There is a quiet magic in meeting your soulmate later in life. We each bring with us a suitcase filled with stories, a few gentle lines of experience, and a deeper well of wisdom. Such relationships are woven from threads of true respect, honest conversation, and a profound gratitude for each shared moment.

Robin was always the mystic, drawn to the depths of kabbalistic teachings and the wisdom of the Rosicrucians. He delighted in exploring the hidden pathways of the spirit, weaving together Hermetic insights, Christian mysticism, and the subtle mysteries that call to the soul.
As for me, I was the curious cat, always poking my nose into Spiritualism, science, and the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. Edgar Cayce’s work was like dessert for my soul.
Together, Robin and I embarked on a shared adventure, publishing books under the name Kima Global Publishers. Our small publishing house became a gentle gathering place for authors from many paths, each carrying a longing to bring light into the world. Some wrote about healing the mind, others about finding enlightenment through creativity—a path close to my own heart.

As we move towards June 2026, I sense the winds of awakening growing ever stronger. This journey is not simply a change of mind, but a gentle, soul-deep transformation in consciousness. Rudolf Steiner once spoke of a time when future technologies might draw upon the etheric forces of humanity, tapping into the life field of our collective being, with deep spiritual consequences. I have explored these pathways between transhumanism and unity consciousness in my own writings.
In these times, as artificial intelligence becomes ever more present, it can be difficult to discern what is real and what is simply clever programming.
Robin left this earthly life in January 2023, after a long illness. Caring for him during those final months was both a challenge and a blessing, a sacred time I would not trade for anything. The world’s fascination with A.I. seemed distant, as if we were sheltered in a quiet space of our own.
Each day, new voices and channels emerge on social media, gently guiding the flow of our thoughts and feelings. Rudolf Steiner warned that humanity’s collective energy could be influenced and shaped by unseen forces. He spoke of materialistic energies, which he named Ahrimanic and Luciferic, that seek to draw us away from our true essence.
The twenty-two years Robin and I shared have gently prepared me for the path that lies ahead. Together, we devoted ourselves to moral practices and meditation, seeking to purify our karma and support the world’s spiritual evolution. I did not know then that I would one day continue this journey on my own.
We were all Born With a Destiny Number — Here’s What It Means
Sometimes I marvel at how my destiny number, 8, aligns with the path I have chosen—much as Edgar Cayce’s journey has always inspired me. It gently reminds me why I felt called to bring forth my visionary novel series, Awakening to Our Ascension, with its promise that what we can imagine, we can make real. While the art of manifestation feels familiar to me, the dance with abundance, especially in the realm of finances, is still unfolding. I am learning to understand the delicate balance between sharing my gifts and receiving support in return. Life has blessed me with unexpected journeys—airfares gifted, even sea voyages—yet the true gift of storytelling, especially through writing in English, my second language, remains a mystery I am still exploring. The presence of dyslexia is another companion on this path, inviting me to discover new ways to express the stories I wish to tell.
I used this link to calculate my family and friends, just for my own understanding.
There is a quiet sense within me that my work is not yet complete. There are more stories to share, such as my final novel in the Ascension series titled: The Prophet’s Game, and the workbook on the Body Codes of Light, which weaves through all my books. And perhaps, there are still other projects waiting to be born.
Robin carried the energy of the number 6, the healer. I sensed that part of his journey was to heal the wounds of his childhood, and I offered him my loyalty and support. I now understand that he had to work gently with his shadow, learning to let go of the old feelings of abandonment. He did at the end.

As I bring this article to a close, I hope that you have found something here that resonates with your own journey.
