Reading and
Writing Addiction was able to catch up with Annamaria Marta Furedi, Author of “Protector:
Recovering Memories.” We are excited to share this insightful interview today
with our readers.
When did you first discover that you enjoy writing and
wanted to become a published author?
Very early, as a
child.
What is your favourite and the most challenging aspect
of writing?
Generally I write, when I feel I have something to
share, something I don’t want to keep inside. It’s a very challenging, but
absolutely rewarding activity.
Tell us about your latest release. How did you come up
with the title of your book.
Protector: Recovering
Memories refers to the main essence of knowing so many past incarnations.
Together they make an incredible great context and each lifetime gets its own
special meaning and significance within the big picture. And I think this
knowledge should be shared with the widest audience. The discoveries are not
only my own, it’s not my privilege to own them. So I feel.
What do you hope readers are able to get from reading
your story?
I use my past
incarnation episodes as a sort of ‘case study’, to look at what reincarnation
is, and how it works. We all have our own karmic issues and even if they are
rather unique there are several common traits. The laws of the universe are the
same for all of us. And I believe that we can learn a lot from each-other.
Who are some of your favourite authors?
I read a wide
range of books, I don’t have favourite authors.
Do you have any advice for writers looking to get
published?
Be patient, work
diligently and never give up on your dream.
The book contains the description of two past
incarnations, Almost and Lisabeta. I’d
like to bring up the Lisabeta episode, it is one of the past lives you could
recollect. As to your husband H, are you sorry about the way you behaved?
Yes. I felt
ashamed, I think that comes out from between the lines. I am sorry about it.
Our marriage was a very unfortunate one. The disaster was predictable at its
very start. Simply, we weren’t a match.
About Nicholaus, who was your childhood friend and
later your lover and partner, what you feel about him now?
I still feel a lot of love about him. I don’t think
this will ever change. There is an interesting thing about him. His nation
choice – he was my father at Wingless Angels, and he very disliked Germans.
Then, some centuries later he was born to a militarist German family… The turns
of life… The turns of karma… By my observation this kind of thing happens quite
often.
It’s very touching to see that loved ones meet again
and again, and they may feel the same, no matter how much time went by.
Absolutely. Time is not so important from the soul’s perspective.
Could you achieve some improvement? By meditation or
other way?
Very good question. Yes, I did! I managed to turn the
memories connected to him positive in the latest months. To achieve this I had
to travel to Germany – and there I’ve heard something that helped me to heal
it. It was a talk from a man named Gunagriha. He is a disciple of Sri Chimnoy
who was a famous guru. So, he said that instead of mourning what was ruined and
what went dead, we shall be happy that we were given time to be together, happy
that we got moments to share. This caught me. I instantly knew: this will be
it, this is the word I was looking for so long. Suddenly as I thought at Nic I
was able to feel differently, I saw this relationship in a whole new light. I
am able to feel thankful for the days when we could be together, when we could
give and accept love to and from the other - no matter how the relationship
ended. This is just wonderful! Since this Eureka moment I feel much better.
How his memory influences your private life?
It’s not easy
to live with it. Anytime I had a relationship, or a possibility of it, I always
felt that this is just not it… But I learned to shift it aside.
You keep making comparisons?
Sometimes,
yes. I do my best to ignore this feeling, because I don’t want to be the victim
of our common past. And as long as he can’t remember anything, I can’t do much.
It takes two to solve this.
What would you say if you met him?
Hello, long
time no see… Well, I don’t know. It depends how we meet again. It would depend
on how much he knows. Also it would depend on the place, on the day, on the
weather, on the actual magnetic field of the Earth, pff, and dozens of other
things. I can’t tell, really. Hopefully it’d go well.
What happened before this Lisabeta episode?
I had a short
life in England, in the nineteenth century. I lived in a rather miserable environment
and I died after I gave birth to a girl. I was no more than 18-19.
Where in England? In London?
I don’t know,
it was a big city. Maybe Birmingham or London, I can’t tell.
You know, this symbol looks close to Radiohead’s sign.
At least this was my first impression! I really like them. It looks very like
it. Weren’t you inspired by that?
No. Actually I’ve
sent them some poems many years before, including this sign. It was back in the
middle of the nineties, around 1997. They were drawn on small postcards, I
decorated them with this sign.
Wow, they might
have used it, then! What did you think when you saw theirs? You certainly noticed the resemblance!
Of course. From my
part, it’s fine if they used it, and it’s fine if they didn’t. It’s okay. I use
this ancient sign as a signature long ago because it sums up my goal of writing,
presenting anything. In case they had been inspired by it, that’s great.We are
in this world to inspire each-other.
Would you tell me more about the Byzantine prince? In
the book you did not go into detail, you only mentioned him on the margin.
Exactly. I don’t think it is wise to go into details
just now, and it may not be too important. Before presenting it I want to see
how people receive posthumous memoirs in general. Also, it might not even be
safe to publish it. I’ll see. Firstly I’d like to sell the movie script, more
like.
Any other thing you’d like to
mention?
Yes. We plan to
bring together a Meetup event in December. It will take place in London, and hopefully
in Brighton. For more info, come
to the Meetup
Event and also visit www.greenismycolour.com

Furedi loves to transform the ideas, notions and emotions
that come to her into words. The author
has written novels, essays, poems, tales and songs in several languages. In 2001, Furedi’s script “The Soldiers of
Peace”, won a special screenwriting competition award and an excerpt of the
script went on to be included in the 2003 compilation of the Young Talents’ Anthology of County Somogy
by the venerated poet and philologist Arpad Papp. After a liver transplant in 2012, Furedi was inspired
by the feelings and events of that time to write the biographic book “Somebody
Died So I Can Live” released in 2014. The author published the translation of
the Japanese Tales, the "Urashima Tarou –
Japanese Folktales" in 2014 and her first book on reincarnation, “Protector: Recovering Memories” in 2017.
In her spare time she enjoys learning about
photo editing and is currently studying Python programming, data visualization
and automation. Furedi’s big dreams are to sell her movie script and to build a
shelter for unwanted turtles.
