Einweihungsroman
​
Annika, eine junge Wissenschaftlerin wird entführt. Auch ihr Verlobter, Prof. Berg, der sie verzweifelt sucht, ist in Lebensgefahr. Es geht um die Daten für eine epochemachende Erfindung. Eine fanatische, mitleidlose Sekte, und ein mächtiger, skrupelloser Konzern, sind hinter dem Geheimnis her. Es wird ein Wettlauf mit der Zeit. Die Spur führt nach Prag, wo Prof. Berg auf mysteriöse Weise in einem mysteriösen Haus, nach einem Unfall erwacht.

Das "Erwachen" ist das zentrale Anliegen jeder Initiation und Geistesschulung. Dieser besondere Zustand des Bewusstseins, in dem man erfasst, dass man ist, ist die Grundlage jeder selbstbestimmten Persönlichkeit und das erste Ziel aller okkulten Traditionen. 

"Die meisten glauben, dass "Wachsein" ein Offenhalten der Sinne und Augen und ein Aufbleiben des Körpers während der Nacht sei. Von nichts ist der Mensch so fest überzeugt wie davon, dass er wach sei; dennoch ist er in Wirklichkeit in einem Netz gefangen, das er sich selbst aus seinen Gedanken und Gefühlen, dem Hirngespinst, aus dem die Träume sind, webt. Er bleibt ein Träumender." Schreibt Gustav Meyrink, der wie kein anderer Geistesforscher, das Mysterium des Wachseins erfasste, erklärte und beschrieb.

In diesem spannenden Thriller wird das "Erwachen" von unterschiedlichen Standpunkten ausgeleuchtet. Die suggestive Bildsprache, durchwoben mit bekannten und unbekannten Zitaten von Gustav Meyrink, zieht den Leser immer tiefer in die Welt des Protagonisten, in der Traum und Realität nicht mehr zu unterscheiden sind. Diese kafkaeske Verwirrung, und die gegebenen Instruktionen, bewirken das Erwachen, das wie eine Initiation zu einer neuen Selbsterkenntnis führt.

MAGIC & MYSTICISM IN THE 3rd MILLENIUM

​TO THE FINAL LANTERN

Novel of Initiation

​It is not just the title, the entire book could have been inspired by Gustav Meyrink. Stejnar makes skilful use of Meyrink’s mastery of words and brings his spirit back to life. He weaves together well-known and unknown quotations of his into his story, until he merges with him to form a unity. What Meyrink began, Stejnar completes with this book. The reader finds themselves and awakens.

Annika, a young scientist is kidnapped. The man she is engaged to, Professor Berg, looks for her desperately, and his life is in great danger, too. It is about data for an epoch-making discovery. A fantastic, merciless cult intends to prevent humanity from taking this step at any price, and does not stop at torture and murder. A powerful, unscrupulous company is also chasing the secret. It is a race against time. The trail leads to Prague, where Professor Berg awakes after an accident in a mysterious way in a mysterious house.

Awakening is the central goal of every initiation. This special state of consciousness where we recognise that we exist, is the basis of every self-determined personality and the first goal of every occult tradition. While a person is not awakened, engaging with magic and mysticism doesn’t make much sense. Only an awakened spirit is able to free itself from the powers that the person is dependant on because they support them. "Most people believe that 'being awake' is about opening your senses and your eyes and staying up during the night. One of the things people are most convinced of is that we are awake; however in reality we are caught in a net that we ourselves weave out of thoughts and feelings, the phantasms woven from dreams. The person remains a dreamer."

Gustav Meyrink wrote, understood, revealed and described the mysticism of being awake like no other spiritual researcher. We are trapped in a body, deadened by its urges and hypnotised by its brain functions. We believe we are awake, but in truth we are directed by thoughts and they trap us in the mental treadmill of the everyday in the anteroom of consciousness. In this exciting thriller, the "awakening" is illuminated from understandable points of view and described in different ways so that what is presented actually gives you access to this mystery.

The suggestive imagery, woven through with well-known and unknown quotes from Gustav Meyrink, draws the reader, without them realising or being able to do anything about it, deeper and deeper into the world of the protagonist. A world in which illusion and reality can no longer be told apart. Eventually we start to investigate whether we are moving through the world of the living, the dreamers or the dead.

It is an enormously perplexing experience when, while reading a chapter, you are no longer sure if you are awake or dreaming. But it is precisely this Kafkaesque confusion that, in the end, effects the awakening that, in the same way as initiation, leads to a new knowledge of the self. In reading, a mechanism is set in motion that alters consciousness and gives the knowledge that you have of yourself an entirely new quality.

Everyone who knows the work of Stejnar and Meyrink should read this book.
