Writing and always searching for and finding the other beyond the horizon is the basis of my activities. That is why I also call myself an author and scientist.

Even when I pass on knowledge in conversations, the basis for this is written material. The same applies to my digital presence.

The topics of "consciousness and personal and social change" have occupied me for more than half my life. The focus has changed as I have changed. But exploring consciousness and change in all its depth, asking the right questions, finding answers, no matter how provisional they may be, looking for a basis for explanation and finding them again and again... that is what has driven me for over 30 years.

I like to take a higher perspective, even if the expression has changed as my consciousness has changed.

A long academic career with everything that goes with it (two doctorates - one in economics; another in military science, with a focus on military security technology; a habilitation in military science, Venia Security Theories and an extraordinary honorary professorship, with a focus on military security technology; various management positions in higher education and as a self-employed person, always as the first woman) are still an essential basis for my work, because they enable me to have a well-founded, comprehensible and solid approach - even if my demands on science and scientific work have changed in recent years.

After my scientific career had become too narrow for me, I left on top and made a change that was characterized by a deep search for the meaning of existence. This search was also accompanied by many physical challenges with special experiences that led to a completely new beginning ... and then the consistent following of my path as someone who was and is always before and beyond so-called time.

This has shaped me as a person, as a woman, as a scientist, as an author who is also open to intellectual matters. This requires courage, curiosity, openness, trust in life and the willingness to move without so-called safety railings. It also requires - at some point - the acceptance of one's own fate in order to be able to leave it behind and truly start anew, because on every personal path there are always new starts. 

My path as an author, scientist and human being was neither straight nor always easy. It was and is always characterized by a high degree of unpredictability and diversity. Probably also because I never allowed myself to be assigned to a disciplinary area. I was often the first to deal intensively with a question. In doing so, I shook up the established foundations, which some found extremely unpleasant.

But questions always drove me. And I always wanted to answer them from several perspectives. This path enriched me, challenged me and - it brought me closer to myself than anyone else has managed to do so far.

Diversity in expression is written into my hand. What interested me was always more than just one area. And - I always wanted to go off the beaten track. Disciplinary boundaries never interested me. I found them boring. I still find the complementarity of approaches much more interesting.

Today I am certain - for me there are neither these divisions nor is one more important than the other. Because my identity as an author and scientist is also fed by sources that can be found outside of what you would expect. That is why I am now an advocate of consciousness-based science. The approach is new. The approach is open. Much of it is still unknown. But that is precisely what makes it so appealing for me to move forward and find initial answers.

My scientific qualifications and my critical, questioning approach to questions of our time enable me to approach this complex of topics with its multitude of questions seriously. It is not about mental and intellectual prisons. Rather, I take every liberty to ask questions and find answers to them, which are always provisional for me. The provisionality in the answers is my motivation to continue to grow, as a person, as an author, as a scientist.

My intellectual background and my years of work on consciousness give me the chance to recognize some things well ahead of time and to draw my conclusions.

Because the truly new integrates consciousness into scientific approaches. How? That is one of my tasks.The fact that I no longer have to meet expectations as a person, as an author or as a scientist and that I consistently follow my own path makes things much easier for me. I express my content, my thoughts, my feelings, what moves me deep down in my heart, in a way that I think is right. That requires a high degree of self-awareness, trust and expertise. I have developed all of that over the course of my life - very often with joy and a lot of effort.

Today I trust life and no longer need proof. That makes it easy for me.

Writing is my second nature, maybe even my first nature.

Who knows...

My motto: Live the original freely.
