Your Compass

As a teenager, Beat had a great thirst for knowledge and planned to travel the world, experience adventures, get to know different peoples and cultures, start a family, and lead a happy life in prosperity. Over time, all of these wishes came true until, at the age of 59, despite being in good physical shape, he suffered a cardiac arrest while jogging and collapsed. He was in the afterlife for minutes and only survived thanks to professional help. This near-death experience changed his consciousness forever. After waking up from the coma, he once again pondered the profound questions that had always preoccupied him: Where do I come from? Where am I now? Where do I want to go? He remembered his inner ­compass, which he had once followed intuitively and could always trust. Memories of his life so far came together like pieces of a puzzle to form a picture, and in conversations with neurologist Phil, Beat found himself again, discovering his new SELF.
