ERNA TWECHUIZEN, numerologist and Tarot reader, born in Belgium, and now Indonesian Citizen, can accurately predict many things about her clients only by counting his or her birthdate. Even, a noted psychiatrist expresses his admiration by putting it “The method you use is amazing because only from his birthdate you know everything about him. When compared with psychiatry that takes a lot of time”. What is Erna’s mystical experience? Why doesn’t she want to be called a paranormal?

I am not a Paranormal.
Erna does not want to call herself a paranormal. ”I feel too proud if I call myself a paranormal”, she said. She prefers to be called a numerologist and Tarot card reader. Her name is difficult to spell. Erna Twechuizen. She tells us repeatedly not to miswrite her name because it is very well connected with the number vibration contained in it. She was born in Belgium (please do not ask my birthdate. I am afraid I am too old, haha, haha, she said). Since she was a child she has felt something “mysterious” in herself. At the age of five years,
for example, she was taken to see a cowboy film by her father at a movie. “Suddenly I was uneasy” she said remembering the event. In no time she took her father out of the movie and said, “The cowboys are liars. They kill the Indians", that was the protest of little Erna. Her father was very surprised.
He asked,” How do you know that?” Erna mentioned a name whom she recently knew was a name of an Indian tribe chief, Apache.

Aware of her ability, when nearing adulthood, Erna studied astrology in Holland for 8 years. From there she paved a way for studying numerology. In her life, Erna used to be married to a famous astrologist and tarot card reader“.
But he mostly used his intelligence", said Erna about her ex-husband.
There, unexpectedly her gift was sharpened. “Several times my husband’s clients called, asking for immediate prediction. When my husband was away
I took his place,” she remembered. Before her friends she always “demonstrated” her ability to predict only for pleasure.

Once in 1988, she set her foot in Bali. Suddenly she felt that she was on her way home. Recently she had learned that Bali was her homeland in the past.
“I have gone reincarnated two times in Bali, near Kusamba and Batu Karu,”
said she.

That is why she feels at home in Bali. she also knows that she had been reincarnated in India exactly near the town called Jaisalmer, Rajasthan province. She once visited the town and witnessed that almost all women there wear red dresses. “Maybe because of that, because I didn’t like wearing red dress in my past life, when I was a child I always refused wearing red dress,” said Erna.
In Bali Erna has started her career as professional numerologist and tarot card reader.

Many figures have been predicted by her. Businessmen, politicians, and people from other walks of life from tens of countries specially come to Bali to meet her but she keeps refusing to be called a paranormal.

A man in his 40-s came to Erna’s Twechuizen’s place, a numerologist and tarot card reader who was born in Belgium but now has turned and Indonesian citizen. By only counting the birthdate of the man, Erna can explain completely about the character, future, reincarnation, together with the unlucky and the lucky number of the man who is not willing to give his name. “It is better that you will not go out at 10am and 3 pm are good time to complete important job,” said Erna to the Balinese man. “I hate you” said the man suddenly and laughingly when Erna said that in some part of his belly there is a scar.

Even Erna can correctly read what is being thought by the man and what his profession is when he is sitting before the wife of Ferdinan Letoati, a man from Kupang who works as a singer in some hotels in Denpasar. “You are interested in politics. That’s good. But this year you will sign a new contract.” said Erna.
“I really hate you, you know everything about me,” said the man once again laughingly.

The way Erna “reads” someone seems to be very simple. She has a scrap of notes of numbers on a piece of a paper sometimes accompanied by reading tarot cards then clearly predict many things, “To know the scar in your belly
I cannot do that with the calculation of numbers or tarot cards. Suddenly there is a “shadow” coming to my mind and I know that it is right,” said Erna to TOKOH.

However, Erna prefers to start her job by counting numbers because to her, every number has its significance. Every number is a symbol. “Every number has its own vibration and that comes from above", said she. Number 7 for example is connected with water, spirituality, meditation and religious service. “But number 7 is not connected with material," said Erna by showing example. Numbers also have connections with planets in the universe. “Number 1 is connected with the sun, and 2 with the moon, 3 with Jupiter. All the planets are connected with the journey of man’s life", explained she, when she was about to give the illustration of the strong connection of number and man.

Everyone has life lesson number, the path of destiny number, and soul number.
“Life lesson number reveals the present journey at the same time it serves as a lesson for the next journey. While soul number is very personal in nature it involves the answer to the question “What I want to do?”, for example",
said Erna.

What is interesting, Erna continued, the zodiac of somebody is changeable. For the man who came that afternoon, for example, according to Erna has the zodiac of Taurus until he was 18 years of age, after that up to 48 years of age, he has the zodiac of Gemini 48 – 78 Cancer, and after 78 Leo. The calculation is a bit complicated. “I had studied astrology for eight years in Holland. Very complicated. Because the calculation can change in terms of hours", Erna said because of its being intricate. She prefers to “play” within the area of numbers and tarot can. Uniquely, Erna has never learnt numerology herself. “This has been my gift since I was born", she said. She likes playing with numbers and unknowlingly she uses the method of Kabala. “Next to Kabala, there is Phytagoras method. Well it is Phytagoras who said that", The World is built out of the power of numbers". The significance of numbers is the key to the world.
“I believe in it although I have never used his method", said Erna.

To her, numbers are important not only that they are related to personal “destiny” but also they are important to calculate the names of company. Numbers are also connected with logo and color. This vibration may influence the operation of a company", said Erna while giving a number of names and logos of companies that she has calculated. Usually after calculating numbers, she also connects them with the prediction through tarot cards. “Tarot cards are good to know the present condition", said she.

The combination of the calculation of numbers with tarot cards will produce holistic predictions. “Not only that, I combine them with the power of mind that
I cannot describe in details. This is my gift since I was born".

Bilocation and Long-distance Communication
Komang Kodyarini has worked at Erna Twechuizen’s place in Renon area, Denpasar since 1998. Once, when she was watching the clothes that she had dried, she saw Erna standing by the car parked at the garage. “I was surprised that Ibu (Mrs Erna) was speechless", said the sweet girl coming from Abiansemal Village, Badung. Komang then was calling Erna, but goodness the answer just came from her study. Komang looked at the study, she saw that Erna was there. She turned again at the garage, Erna’s body that used to stand there was gone. “My neck hair raised,” she said.

“That happened because I put crystal on my forehead", said Erna explaining the strange thing experienced by her housemaid. When Erna put the crystal on her forehead Erna had her divided mind. She had the idea of taking out the key of her car. “Right at that time my astrale body was beside the car. Komang saw me as my own self", said Erna.

That is not the only time she experienced a strange thing. Once when she had serious influenza, she tried to play a VCD of the singer Selina. Without any specific reason her neck hair raised,. quite suddenly Shelina who already died appeared before her wanting to speak with her. “But I said not now", because
I have flu, “Erna remembered the following day, Selina came back and told her that she was shot dead by someone because she knew a crime committed by her President of her fan club. Erna sent an e-mail to her friend in Australia.
“I only write. ‘Listen to Selina’. But the e-mail received by my friend contains the complete life story of Selina", said Erna. The fact that Erna has never known the singer and also her life background.

That is the talent that I have had with me since I was born. The other talent is to communicate long distance. “I often ask my friend to come through concentration. “That is the power of mind", said Erna.
