Thirteen Thirteen

a bridge between two worlds, a divine human

Meet our Founder, Surinder

Hi there...


If you are reading this page, then you are expecting to know a bit about me. I can give you details about my worldly achievements, however the essence of Thirteen Thirteen is "Truth"—and I am going to share the raw truth that has led me to this point.

The Dismantling (2023 – 2025)

The past three years, beginning on the 3rd of January 2023, have felt like a blur. Life took me  on an unexpected path, from living unconsciously to a total deconstruction of the self. In an instant everything in my life came crashing down; what I thought was true was not. Those I trusted stepped away, those I lived for rejected my existence, those I thought were friends left and absolutely nothing made sense. The more I questioned everything, the more intense the inner war became.


I was scared. I didn't know what was happening to my life as everything was falling away. I felt totally helpless and, in my darkest moments, I felt so very alone.


My first turning point was when I was taken literally to my knees. I was cracked open and I saw "Truth" for the first time. I saw the illusions I was caught in—the ones that had been deeply anchored for a lifetime. To move forward, I had to shed layers of pain and trauma. I had to let go of the roles, the titles, the status, and the material life that kept me bound to the old paradigm. I literally had to lose my mind to find the 'Self'.

The Journey to Enlightenment

Crossing the bridge

The journey led me to a place of absolute stillness—the bridge from the untruth to truth. I was held in a space of "no thoughts," a transition that was deeply uncomfortable, which felt endless but necessary so that the last grips of the ego could dissolve.


All control, fear, lack, unworthiness, urgency, the constant achieving and the need to "force" results gradually melted away. During this time, my body was impacted with deep exhaustion; a physical stiffness had taken over as the old energy moved out. But by the close of 2025, I started to experience an inner movement. I could feel the softness of a new energy emerging.

2026: The Emergence into Sovereignty

Now, in 2026, I step into the world in a State of Enlightenment—a place of inner serenity, peace, joy, and bliss. I move in sovereignty, experiencing a profound freedom from the constraints of the mind and the linear world.


I now embody a deep inner stillness. What is most insightful to observe is that when I am serving clients, I am fully present; I have gained the ability to see through the architectural noise of an organisation and identify, with ease, the unconscious blocks that hold leaders back.


From this state of being, I transmit high frequencies into every client engagement—supporting leaders to create high-impact shifts within themselves and their organisations.

Stepping into the new with a foundation of excellence
