Logic does not bring the solution
For millennia, philosophers have argued about the substance of the world. For millennia, the great thinkers of this world have tried to refute each other with their logic and to substantiate and establish their own views on content and cause. Quibbles are quibbled about terms, the words are occupied once with this and another time…

Circles in circles
Every time I see my father, I go through a cycle. A life in suffering – a samsara that I have to accept in silence -, a liberation in dying – when I go again -, a death – when I am free from him – and at the next visit a rebirth in suffering.…

Overcoming the world
Already in my childhood the world of pure matter, the evil and material in form of my father confronted me. These were the years in which I overcame the world by overcoming my father – as the concentrated form of the soulless material world. After I had already overcome the world with him once, nothing…

Multimedia materialism means: Many mediators stand between us and the world. And the world they mediate to us is that of things. That means: Existence in a being distant from the soul, uprooted from the direct experience of the world as a totality of matter and soul.

The free will
If we look at the results of twin research, which examines identical twins who grew up separately, we can guess how significant the effect of our genetic – material – destiny is on our lives. For example, these twins, who never knew each other and grew up in completely different families and environments, named their…

Strong ego – weak ego
The more the ego works, the stronger is the limitation of a human being. The narrower are the limits in which the human being defines himself. The smaller is the area in which he defines something as „right“, because according to his „view“. In the reversal conclusion is for him with it almost everything else…

Is not everything in pure materialism then born exclusively of the survival instinct?
Considering all this, can’t one come to the conclusion that all human action, that everything man has created, is based exclusively on the survival instinct? On an expression of this instinct which has already exceeded the healthy measure? On a hatred that no longer merely wants to cope with an emergency situation, but has taken…

Evil is the misguided survival instinct
Evil is based on a misguided form of the survival instinct. If we think of the term survival instinct, we may think of the hopeless flight of the deer from the wolf, the panic-stricken fight of the pigeon when it finds itself in the clutches of the cat, or the mouse which, at the sight…
