The topics in the book are as diverse as life itself. They touch on big questions and small recognitions, on the cosmic and the personal. Below is a selection of what is covered.
“I was essentially born with it. But at first, I couldn't quite place it.”
Adinda van der Werf grew up with a gift she couldn't name. She heard things, saw things, knew more than she could explain. She always put it somewhat in the background; life went on.
Until a profound loss led her on a search. She visited a spiritual person, seeking the soul connection she so deeply missed. And on the spot, she discovered something that made everything fall into place: she could do it herself too.
Since then, she has consciously opened her channel, serving as a conduit for the Elders: our ancestors from another civilization, the same forces behind the pyramids, the Mayan structures, and the Borobudur. Together with her mentor, a medium nearing eighty, she channeled and transcribed messages that were meant to be passed on. This began in 2011. In 2013, they told her: you are writing a book.
“I’m just a go-between. Nothing more, nothing less. If they pass something down from above, I pass it on. That’s it.”
For fifteen years, she wrote down whatever came to her. She let go and trusted the process; this is how this book was written. This book is the result, for everyone who feels there is more than what we see. The Elders themselves describe it as follows:
“The story about us is less important. Throughout the centuries, we have sought translators for our story — in the style of the time and with stories that people could understand. We must hold back while you must stand on your toes. We offer advice hoping that humanity will listen. We are conscious survivors of Atlantis, placed here to attempt to save the Earth. Knowledge is only power if one uses it. To convert power into strength.”
Their goal is clear: to make people think. Not to be scared, but to awaken. They want to help people move forward, not with imposed answers, but by raising questions that were already there.
Adinda describes it this way: they never mean it negatively, even if some topics are heavy. They want humanity to reflect on who we are, how we treat the Earth, and where we are headed. That is what this book asks, nothing more and nothing less.
Sometimes it's a confirmation of something you already felt. Sometimes it's a recognition. Sometimes it's a new insight.
THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF YOU'RE ALSO ASKING YOURSELF THAT QUESTION
Who are we, really? Why are we here? Why does it sometimes feel as if there's something around you guiding you, confirming you're on the right path? These are the questions the Ancients want to raise. Not to impose answers, but to encourage people to think for themselves.
The Other World Speaks is not a book you read cover to cover. You pick it up when something is going on in your life, you open it to a section that resonates with you, and you see what it does for you. Sometimes it's a confirmation of something you already felt. Sometimes it's a recognition. Sometimes a new insight. Always an invitation to look beyond what you're used to.
AS ABOVE, SO BELOW
Everything the Ancients wished to convey begins with one principle: as above, so below. Everything is connected. What happens above resonates in our daily lives, and vice versa. This connection is what we call the lemniscate, the eternal interplay that never ceases.
From this principle, the book unfolds like an onion. Layer by layer. From the divine spark from which everything originated, to the universe, to the world, to humanity, to you as an individual, as a soul. And then back again.
“Above cannot exist without below, and below cannot exist without above. It is the eternal, and it resides in every life.”
What's in the book?
THE SOUL AND ITS EMOTIONS
Why do we have emotions, and what are they really? The book explains the composition of the soul, how emotions are connected to energy, and why certain feelings recur. Recognizable for anyone who sometimes wonders why something hits them so hard.
THE ORIGIN OF EVERYTHING
How did we come to be? From the divine spark to humanity, peeled layer by layer, from the cosmic to the personal and back. Philosophical in nature, but always connected to the question that every human being asks sooner or later: who am I and what am I doing here?
THE ANCIENTS AND ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS
Who are the authors of this book, and do you recognise them? The book delves into ancient civilisations such as Atlantis and the Mayans, into structures that we cannot explain with our current knowledge, and into what they are still trying to tell us today. Adinda recommends everyone to read this part in any case.
MOTHER EARTH, TECHNOLOGY AND OUR FUTURE
The earth is not a stage, it is a living soul. The book describes how it reacts to what humans do, and what that means for how we live. But it also looks ahead: at technology, at the fast-paced world in which we are becoming increasingly dependent, and at the new generation that is asking different questions. Timely and relatable for anyone wondering where we are headed.

WHAT DOES THE BOOK OFFER YOU?
For some, it's a confirmation of something they already felt but could never quite articulate. For others, it's a recognition. For still others, it's a piece of peace, or a guiding principle in a constantly changing world.
The book is for people who feel different and want to understand why. For people who are searching for meaning in a fast-paced, materialistic world. For people who have experiences they can't quite place, or who have been through a lot and are seeking peace. And for people who are simply curious and open-minded.
You can apply it everywhere – in your work, in your family, in your relationships. Adinda describes it as a tool you pick up when you need it, and put down when you're done.
READY TO READ IT YOURSELF?
If you've read this and something inside you says: I want to know this, trust that feeling. That's exactly what this book is for.
You don't have to be ready for it. You don't have to read it cover to cover. You don't have to do anything with it. Pick it up, read a bit, and see what it does for you. That's enough.
“Whether you pick it up or not - both are fine. But if you do pick it up, it will give you something.”
