"Love is not something to seek, but something to be. It is not confined to relationships, moments, or emotions—it is the foundation of existence itself. Once recognised, it changes everything."

Thank you, Aberjhani! What surprised me most while writing Just Love Her was realising that the feeling of divine love inside remained unchanged for decades since I first experienced it, yet it always felt fresh... a new beginning every time, as if I were experiencing it again for the very first time. This duality of timelessness and renewal was both humbling and awe-inspiring.

Great question, Aegelis! I wouldn’t call it hermitism, but I’ve always valued solitude as a space for reflection and connection to more profound truths. It’s less about being a loner and more about seeking clarity and inspiration in stillness.

This summer, my reading list includes a blend of spiritual exploration and science fiction. Alongside re-reading "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho to draw inspiration for my reflections in "Just Love Her", I'm diving into the "Dune" series by Frank Herbert and revisiting "Foundation" by Isaac Asimov. These sci-fi classics fuel my passion for exploring complex worlds and profound philosophical questions.

When faced with writer's block, I turn to meditation and nature. Spending time in the woods or reflecting quietly helps clear my mind, allowing inspiration and creativity to flow naturally again.

In the quiet of the night, I felt a cold, unseen hand grasp mine. I was alone when I turned on the light, but the handprint remained on my skin. :)

If I could travel to any fictional book world, I would choose Middle-earth from "The Lord of the Rings". I am deeply inspired by the rich, mystical landscapes and the profound journeys of self-discovery in Tolkien's world. There, I would embark on a quest similar to my spiritual journey in "Just Love Her", seeking out the Elves' ancient wisdom and hidden truths and exploring the serene, enchanting woods of Lothlórien. Additionally, the philosophical depth and the quest for understanding reality in "The Matrix" resonate with my explorations of love and existence, making these worlds a perfect backdrop for my continual search for divine love and enlightenment.

One mystery in my life that could be a plot for a book is my mystical search for the divine essence of love. This journey took me through ancient monasteries and secluded woods, where I sought to uncover the mysteries behind the veil of reality. These experiences, filled with profound reflections and meditations, revealed deep insights into the nature of existence and the transformative power of love. This journey of spiritual discovery is the heart of my book, "Just Love Her," and serves as a testament to the profound mysteries within our hearts.

The best thing about being a writer is the incredible journey of bringing characters and stories to life and sharing them with readers who find joy, comfort, or inspiration in my work. With the book "Just Love Her", I had the unique opportunity to explore Seoul, Korea. The process of writing allowed me to delve deep into meditations while walking around the city and landscapes, which was both challenging and immensely rewarding.
Hearing from readers who connect with my book personally is one of the most fulfilling moments as a writer. These interactions are significant, whether it's a message about how a journey resonated with them or how a particular scene provided an escape during a difficult time. They remind me that the hours spent writing and revising are worth it because my words have the power to touch lives.
Moreover, being a writer allows me to express my creativity and imagination. It’s a space to explore ideas and concepts that fascinate me and weave them into a narrative others can enjoy. This creative freedom is both exhilarating and empowering.
The best part about being a writer is the ability to create something that didn't exist before, see it grow, and witness its impact on readers. It's a journey filled with discovery, connection, and the joy of storytelling.

I advise aspiring writers to write from the heart and stay true to their authentic voice. Embrace the quiet moments of introspection and allow your experiences and emotions to guide your writing. Consistency is critical—make writing a daily practice, even if it's just a few lines. Don't be afraid to explore profound and personal themes, as these often resonate the most with readers. Lastly, be patient and persistent; the writing journey is as transformative as the stories you create.

I am currently working on the translation and adaptation of my 1999 book, "Hearts of Love." This foundational work lays the groundwork for the concepts and ideas explored in "Just Love Her." Through this project, I aim to bring the original insights and reflections to a broader audience, enriching the spiritual journey outlined in my latest book.

I draw inspiration from the quiet moments of introspection and meditation. Travelling to Seoul, the city's vibrant energy combined with its serene landscapes provides a perfect backdrop for reflection. My writing is deeply influenced by the connections I feel with the divine essence of love and the personal encounters and meditations that reveal profound insights. Each day, I immerse myself in the gentle whispers of the heart, allowing the presence of love to guide my thoughts and words. This blend of personal experience, spiritual practice, and the beauty of my surroundings fuels my creativity and helps me convey the transformative power of love through my writing.
