The exterior and interior in Bonn Bad Godesberg
On a sunny and warm spring day I accompanied my wife to an appointment in Bonn Bad Godesberg. We found there directly a very beautiful park where I could pass the time with our dog until my wife wanted to pick us up again in two hours. It was a remarkable two hours in which…

Steamroller
A seminar weekend has come to an end. I have given the participants everything I could and they have all gone home, mostly happy. Almost all of them. As I take my bag to the car, I meet Claudia. We start talking and I learn that she had been skeptical about the event in the…

How real are we?
Got up earlier than usual, physically did more than usual. Late afternoon. We sit in our armchair and slowly sink into an exhausted slumber. We sink and sink. Our physicality dissolves. Deeper and deeper we sink. Heavy as lead, thrown into the middle of the silent, deep and dark ocean. In this moment: If we…

The experiences in nature are complete
The experiences we can have in nature are complete. In the growth of a tree, the falling of a raindrop, the running of a river, the blowing of the wind, the burning of the fire, and the constant change of these things, we can experience everything about our true existence. We can learn that there…

We are in a perpetual state of emergency
Money – the only direct resource available to us in our society – has the perfidious property of losing value. To lose nutritional value – because that’s what it’s all about at its core. A fundamental property of money is to make us anxious about the continuation of our existence. What will I still get…

Separation from the world through money
Money as a means of satisfying needs has the characteristic that we receive it from people. It has no connection with the gifts of nature, which all other living beings receive directly. Our ancestors as hunter-gatherers also received the gifts of nature directly. They went into the forest and hunted. They went through nature and…

For Jesus there was only one way
Jesus had to accept what people thought of him as punishment. If he had argued to change his tormentors‘ minds or asked to be spared, he would have lost his way. He would have got involved in the game of the reasoners and played according to their rules. To twist the truth about argumentations and…
