130 years after the death of one of the world's greatest composers, a most surprising testimony is born. Written via past life regression therapy, Being Pyotr Ilyich - Tchaikovsky's Inner Life, Revealed by Himself 130 Years Later is an astonishing confession, an unexpected and unique kind of autobiography.
Reincarnated on Earth, the spirit who lived within the 19th century composer discovered their past life through a complex therapeutic process of emotional healing and chose to share it with us.
Chris Nielsen's Being Pyotr Ilyich is the most intimate disclosure possible, offered to those who really want to understand what Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky LIVED and FELT. It is THE STORY OF HIS INNER LIFE.
Written with elegance and a dynamic rhythm, this spiritual book follows the most important moments in Tchaikovsky's life, described in 20 chapters, from his birth, passing through his childhood, his first encounters with music, the drama of his mother's death, his studies at the Conservatory and more.
One of the most confidential topics addressed is the main drama that defined Tchaikovsky's existence: the extremely painful inner conflict between his feminine soul and his masculine body. Homosexuality - or, perhaps, even more accurately called transsexuality - is approached in a profound way that characterises the entire book. An important part is dedicated to Tchaikovsky's dramatic love stories, which give birth to some extremely touching testimonies, full of emotion and written with sincerity and tenderness. His ill-fated marriage or the very special relationship with his 'Mecenas' - in the person of Nadezhda Filaretovna von Meck - are also described in this volume.
Moreover, the composer invites us to peep into his personal creative laboratory. He reveals the intimate creative process behind masterpieces of classical music, such as the 'Romeo and Juliet' overture, the Piano Concerto No. 1 or Symphony No. 6 - 'Pathétique'. We also learn very interesting information about his special relationship to ballet or about what Pyotr Ilyich believed regarding the natural gift of composing, the idea of teaching music, the difference between a mediocre creation and a masterpiece and so on.
As the author clearly states in the introduction, Being Pyotr Ilyich also answers the frequent questions that people have continued to ask following the composer's sudden and unexpected death: "how did Tchaikovsky die? suicide or cholera?" Although you will certainly find explanations to these questions and will understand the family secrets and the greatest drama that led to the composer's tragic death, the story itself is surpassed by the deep meaning that is situated behind the events described.
What is really fascinating is that far beyond the story of his own life, the author allows the reader to penetrate into the intimate dialogue between their spirit and the Divinity itself, a dialogue issued within the regression therapy, in the sacred space that we might call the 'afterlife' or 'life between lives'. Thus, the book is not only the sincere account of an earthly existence, but, most importantly, it relates the astonishing truths about the reasons behind all the suffering that people continually experience during a lifetime.
Written with multiple layers of understanding, Being Pyotr Ilyich may be read simply as the life story of a great composer. However, much more than this, it is a SPIRITUAL BOOK. You will discover a revealing story about how the Divinity plans each of our departures from Heaven to Earth and a new approach to human destiny and to the meaning of our existence.
