I’m interested in so much, I meet people and we share our stories. I can take part and draw from my experiences. Having these intense meetings today is due to my decision many years ago not to meet up with friends to talk about the weather, what might be coming tomorrow, or to listen to “hearsay” stories. At that time it was a big farewell round for me, I certainly alienated some of my friends/business partners. Because time is a precious commodity for me, I use every minute to be all the more honest in my nature with other people.
I was born strong willed, my thoughts and perceptions never quite fitted in with society. So I was able to learn loyalty to myself early on. The first time I was 14 years old when I said to my parents: “I’m a vegetarian”. That was in 1980. It was not yet possible to grow big and strong without meat.
It is important to note that I was very lucky and met people who supported me. For the first time in 1974 as an 8-year-old boy I was allowed to see a shaman twice a week. Later followed a training in shamanism and visits to ashrams in India.
I discovered the deeper access to myself through my work as a stonemason, which I started in 1995. There I find peace within myself, learn to distinguish the good thoughts from the bad, similar to my daily short meditation. Family constellations and homeopathy have supported this deep approach.
I like to talk about my experiences, that’s when I feel most comfortable. Being able to be alone is important to me.
