Biography
Marcel Messing ( The Hague, 1945 ) studied anthropology, philosophy and comparative religious studies, was a lecturer and dean in higher professional education, a research associate at the Bibliotheca Philosophica Hermetica in Amsterdam and an advisor to the IKON television series Via Mystica. He is a regular guest on the radio and a contributor to the magazines InZicht and Prana.
​
As a speaker at home and abroad, he is known for his synthesis of Eastern and Western wisdom. In doing so, he combines the deeper insights of esotericism with science, religion, art and poetry.
​
From 1991 to 2001, he lived in the French Pyrenees ( Ariège ), where he researched the history of the Cathars, guided excursions and gave in-depth weeks.
​
After a number of years of thoroughly studying the hidden forces behind the world stage, he began to see that the ( spiritual ) evolution of man is seriously threatened. As a result, in 2006 he wrote the book Worden Wij Wakker? ( Will We Wake Up? ) about the hidden forces behind the world stage. The subsequent DVD ‘Wij Worden Wakker’ has now been translated into eight languages.
​
In 2009 he received the ‘Frontier Award’, which he sees as recognition for the work of the WijWordenWakker working group.
​
As chairman of the Lindenhof Foundation, he has been involved in development projects for about 20 years, especially for children (food, clothing, education and school construction). Started in India and continued in Poland, Nepal and Africa (Kenya and Uganda).
​
He is currently working on the third part of the trilogy ‘The Parables of Jesus’, which will be published this autumn. Seven of the nine parables discussed in it show that Jesus’ statements are surprisingly topical.
