My Life Path
Traditional Knowledge and Scientific Culture in Harmony with My Vocation
Mystical experiences have accompanied me since my earliest childhood. So it was not surprising that my natural existential talent kept me experimenting with meditation-like practices and encouraged me to study Western philosophy, Christianity, but also Buddhism and other Eastern wisdom traditions. For me, there was no other way in this life than to follow this call for spiritual maturation and fulfillment and to scientifically investigate the truth of these dimensions of reality and bring them into useful models.
Therefore, I am currently pursuing a PhD (“Doctor of Philosophy”) with a focus on Transpersonal Psychology at UbiquityUniversity.
I earned my previous Master’s degree at the Faculty of Theological Anthropology and Value Orientation at the University of Regensburg — while my focus there was on educational ethics, I am now focusing on the mediation of advanced meditative states up to so-called non-dual states, unity experiences that are often described with the term enlightenment and are very familiar to me from my more than twenty years of contemplative practice.
Developmental Psychology
Curiosity & Compassion for Our Human Consciousness and Its Development
Over the past fifteen years, I have also invested much of my time in the question: how does human development work, what parallels and overlaps exist with mystical practice and how can growth through stages of increasing unfoldment succeed?
With my former student and now colleague Risa Rae, I achieved an important milestone: the partial scientific validation of the results of this research journey and thus of my model of human development. It describes stages and degrees of maturity of consciousness and how these can be passed through in different ways, and makes this maturation process and significant differences measurable. On the basis of an evaluation, it is not only possible to understand humanity in all its facets, but also to sensitively tune in to clients.
I am currently using this model at The New Human University, where I teach developmental psychology and research the effects of the teaching content and practices there on the development of students’ consciousness. My work is also being applied at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences for Media, Communication and Business — where a long-term study with Bachelor students started in 2024 under the direction of Prof. Dr. Marc G. Lucas.
I Look Back on More Than Twenty Years as Teacher & Role Model
What Some of My Recent Clients Say about Me
Though I am personally inclined to introversion, I found myself as a teacher and role model for spiritual practice already in my late teens however, without recognizing it as part of my life‘s purpose.
