LED
- Latent Existentialistic Depression –
This is the foreword to my new book “LED” that will be published in 2026. It introduces a new concept called LED, and claims that LED is behind many of our problems, and especially those that are beyond therapeutic methods. It describes how LED is instrumental in defining who you are and who you will become.
LED: A Spiritual Psychology of Belonging
Modern therapeutic and psychological approaches
overlook a profound existential truth,
namely that many people feel out of place in this world
because they carry a deep longing for a place that is not of this Earth,
a place we all intuitively sense as our true home.
You came from somewhere beyond this physical realm. You existed there before arriving here, and the departure from that place left a powerful imprint on your being. This imprint manifests as a persistent, indefinable homesickness — an often painful yearning that resists resolution, no matter how many therapeutic methods you try.
This book is written to address that longing.
Many people struggle to feel a sense of belonging in society. They perceive themselves as different, unable to fully integrate into social norms or participate in communal life. They feel like outsiders — not because they reject the world, but because something within them whispers that this world is not their true home.
One part of them longs to fit in, to be accepted, to be valued. But another part is convinced that they will never truly feel at home here.
This book speaks to that part — a part we all carry, whether we recognize it or not.
I’ve met countless individuals who live with a quiet, constant loneliness. It’s as if they’re on a journey far from their true home, wandering through a landscape that never quite feels familiar. They feel homesick, yet they don’t know what home they’re missing. In their search for relief, they create countless distractions and compensations — and while these may soothe the ache temporarily, the loneliness always returns.
This book explores the root of that experience. It’s not a rare condition affecting a few sensitive souls. It’s universal. Not everyone feels it all the time, but everyone carries within them the potential for this homesickness — a latent sense of disconnection that can surface at any moment.
And that means it applies to you.
I’m writing this book to share what I’ve discovered about this hidden part of our being. What I once believed was a personal affliction, I now understand to be a collective experience — a signature of our era, a reflection of the spiritual period humanity is passing through, a period I have named ‘the Ego-development period’.
I call this part of us, this inner companion of ours, “LED”: Latent Existential Depression. - and an message to you is that LED is not just a reaction to the transition from a spiritual home to this life. Its much more, and there is a purpose with LED!
An active LED can feel like a depression. However, LED is not a psychological disorder. It’s not a trauma, a complex, or a repression. It’s something deeper — a primordial blueprint that shapes your personality from the moment you enter this world. It’s the invisible architecture beneath your consciousness, subconsciousness, and superconsciousness. It existed before your birth, and it continues to influence your life in ways that traditional therapy cannot reach.
LED is like a spiritual DNA — a foundational layer that determines how you experience life, the people you attract, and the inner patterns that form through your interactions. Because it predates your upbringing, it often evades therapeutic intervention.
You can’t treat LED like a trauma, because it’s not something that happened to you. It’s something you arrived with.
This book is the first to explore LED in depth — to distinguish it from psychological complexes and to show why that distinction matters. Complexes can be healed through therapy. LED cannot. But LED can be understood, and that understanding can transform your relationship with yourself.
LED affects us all, and it serves a collective purpose. It’s tied to the evolution of human consciousness. The word “latent” means it’s always present — sometimes quiet, sometimes erupting like a volcano. When you’re aligned with your soul’s path, LED recedes. When you’re off course, it intensifies.
My hope is to help you discover LED within yourself, and to see it not as a curse, but as a guide. It didn’t come to bring you pain. It came to awaken you. And once you understand it, the pain will begin to dissolve.
LED is powerful. When dormant, we do everything to keep it asleep. When active, we do everything to survive. But by naming it — recognizing it — it begins to loosen its grip. You feel freer, not because LED disappears, but because you learn to live with it. You reconcile with it. You see that LED is not your enemy, but a vital part of your development.
We all arrive in life with a baggage. LED is part of that baggage. It reflects who you were before birth, who you are now, and why you’ve become the person you are.
When you begin to understand LED, something beautiful happens. The loneliness softens. The resistance fades. And you begin to feel — maybe for the first time — that you want to be here, that this world can actually be another home.
LED is a life condition, just like your body. You were born with it. You didn’t choose it. But you can learn to live with it — and even thrive because of it.
Insight into LED can guide you back to your original home, the home you came from, but also help you establish your second home here on earth. Once you connect with your own LED you start a journey towards the home you came from, and the home you came to - all at the same time!
This book is your guide to that journey.
