The way I met Theo was interesting, even to me, to me that had recently met Mies and got insanely attached within a few days, as if meeting and connecting with someone so deeply wasn’t enough, I also had to meet Theo.
It was because of Mies that I met Theo, actually. Mies thought that it will be good for me to meet someone like Theo, as it was for himself; but even when I wasn’t convinced, I still wanted the help Mies talked to me about, and I ended up meeting Theo.
The first thing I can mention about Theo is this air of nobility that he has all over himself, or at least that’s how it felt for me, and I still wonder where does that come from, but maybe that is connected to Theo coming from such a faraway place... from such a long time ago; also, from his renowned background.
Mies stayed with me for as long as the situation allowed him to, and I can’t even explain the importance of his presence for me, he didn’t just give me the courage and motivation, but he was there with me and I couldn’t be any luckier to had met him, I will never get tired of mentioning this. Mies helped me to calm down and gave me the tools to get the most of this encounter... for my research of the truth. It was Mies that told me that I had to be relaxed, go with the intention to find the truth and the truth only, and that I had to know what my questions would be.
I felt extremely little the first time we met, I could tell even then who was the one in charge; also, I must say that it was a very intimate meeting, as it was only Theo and I at the end, which made me even more anxious while wondering constantly what would he think of me and what his attitude towards me will be, considering that, there I was, pretty much empty-handed, ready to ask this master-mind for guidance and countless questions, in exchange for what? This is something I still have to figure out.
But coming back to Theo, the formalities were brief between us, almost nonexistent; Mies told me that Theo knows me already, and I believe everything Mies says, why should I doubt him anyway? Therefore, other than my name, I said nothing else about me; but since I didn’t know Theo I had to ask who he was. There is no space for many questions in this kind of meetings though, which meant I had to get it all out of one question only, was that even possible? I asked Theo to introduce himself, and as daring and invasive as this can be, and even with such a personality, Theo answered me and took his time to describe himself. I even had to sit down because of the length of such a detailed answer, I was profoundly thankful with his attitude towards me, it was a real honor. I, certainly, wasn’t expecting him to be that nice, even if no one told me he was going to be bad to me, or anything similar.
The description Theo gave me may sound arrogant for others, but I want to clarify that when picking a guide, your guide is supposed to be honest, straight-to-the-point and objective, therefore Theo didn’t say anything out of arrogance, but just trying to enlighten me regarding who he really is.
Theo said he was wise, that’s the main idea I got from all what he said, he also said he was powerful, don’t ask me what kind of power he was referring to though, because then again that was asking a bit too much, but I had nothing to worry about and I got it, he gave me this feeling as if saying between the lines “don't be afraid,” there was a certain kindness in his fiery eyes, and that kindness was pushing me to trust him and I did. But this was just the beginning of a journey that, apparently, started the day I was born but just began to be told to me the day I met Mies, and I wasn’t looking forward to the end of it just yet.
I did ask Theo a second question that same day, addressing my main concern in that very moment, in fact, the question that was my reason to go to him; and then again, to my surprise, Theo replied seriously to my request and gave me some kind of peace of heart that I didn’t know I could be able to attain through that path. After all, have you ever gotten a sense of tranquility through keys? Not simple keys, actually, have you ever hold wisdom's keys? Well, Theo was their personification.
