Writing and constantly searching for and finding things eyond the horizon is the basis of my activities as a scientist and as an author.

Exploring consciousness and social change in all its depth, asking the right questions that are rarely asked and finding answers that lie outside the norm, however provisional they may be, searching for a basis for explanation and finding it again and again ... this has driven me for over 30 years.

My long and extensive academic career still helps me today. It includes everything that goes with it: two doctorates - one in economics; another in military sciences, specializing in military security technology; a habilitation in military sciences, Venia Security Theories - still the only woman in the German-speaking world, and an honorary professorship, specializing in military security technology; various leadership roles in higher education and as a freelancer, always as the first woman).

After my academic career, which had become too narrow for me, I left the top and made a change that was characterized by a deep search for the meaning of existence. This requires courage, curiosity, openness, discipline, dedication, trust in life and the willingness to move without so-called safety rails. 

The academic-scientific background continues to be an essential basis for my work, because it enables me to take a well-founded, comprehensible and solid approach. It gives me the inner space to delve into areas that are not necessarily associated with science at first glance.  

Therefore, my path as an author, scientist and human being was neither straightforward nor always easy. I never allowed myself to be assigned to disciplinary areas or a specific genre. I have always been interested in connections, contexts and backgrounds that move and interest me. Nothing of them have been obvious or clear at first sight. But they have proven to be there.

Answers are always provisional. I feel that asking the right questions is the higher art. I was often the first to deal with a question in depth. In doing so, I liked to go off the beaten track, which I found boring. I still find the complementary nature of approaches much more interesting. I still like to shake the usual comfortable foundations. 

That is why I am now an advocate of a truly interdisciplinary, awareness-based science that is also suitable for everyday use. Both are possible, even if the approach may be new and much of it is still unknown. But that is precisely what makes it so exciting for me to move forward and find the first answers.  

Today I do not have to meet expectations as a person, as an author or as a scientist. For reason, it is easy for me to go my own way in a consistent manner.   

 My motto is: live the original freely.
