Acknowledgement
 Firstly let me
acknowledge the Creator for letting us humans be original
creators ourselves, within a
wisely set up Creation. It allows us in a
personally relevant way as HIS Creatures, to go beyond being
mere "humans" as defined by
culture based on its
philosophy. Also I want to
©Burk
Verlag acknowledge that the first human being
to whom I related, my mother, represented my greatest challenge to understand
myself.
For pictures such as the
above, I am am grateful to have got the permission of the
Burk Verlag, to use them
to depict the 144 is-OEGP, here
8Cm, the claim of the necessary (8) Communication (C)
to be multiplied (m).
Very early in my life, my mother let me know that I was very
different to her. I could only cope with that fact by trying to become conscious
of what human life is about. Later I
married Therese, who after seven years of marriage, when I became dedicated to
finding out more about real people, in 1976,
panicked in a non-compromising way. She made me aware of the
prejudices that hold us all back from acknowledging ourselves. In this way she offered me
the ultimate challenge: to understand and overcome the resistance to qualitative growth
in the individual. My daughter, Andrea-Maria, who is now, officially, another man's
daughter, gave me living proof that the bond to
the zeitgeist can be stronger than biological and living togehter ones.
In fact it was a Japanese lady, Tomi Nishimoto, who first acknowledged my true being
in 1968
and gave me the strength and motivation to do, from 1979 onwards, what I am here for. She also gave me the
opportunity to understand culture and cultural conditioning in terms of the
individual human being visiting Japan in 1975. We are all responsible for the cultures we live in,
in the sense to deregulate
them where we are here to revitalize it; we are not just their products
or even their slaves!
More and more, each of us is required to find solutions for the future, or to become part
of the ultimate problem and end up as a symptom
for human thinking catastrophes.
At
this stage in 1986 I had to give in and rely completely on real human beings, and my inner resources
as such. I saw Switzerland bending for the ghost-path, and went to exil
in Australia. Then a new way of relating came into my life with Diane Crisp,
from 1988 back in Switzerland, the
collaborator in writing this book. Our relationship turned into love and commitment to
each other. We both wanted to make the subject of truth and consciousness as open and
joyful as possible to allow us to follow the path we are meant to go.
This is not the end
of a fairy tale! It is the beginning of a common effort to define, present,
communicate and live consciously in synergy while applying and improving Applied
Personal
Science APS®. At last we are not only acknowledging the process that has led to this
book, we also acknowledge the numerous tangible contributions by all the
people we related to.
First of
all we wish to thank Pat Shepherd for her early diligent proof-readings and her
suggestions to reframe passages. Pat happens to be a
9Be>EN personality in the APS®-system, which roughly means complete perfection
projecting whatever still has meaning from the past into the future; one of the possible OEGP,
or open-ended, generative principles this teaching material is about. |
