Silent Milestones By The Way [Through Life]
Unusual - because no family gobbledygook, no family novel, but cool factual statements - something for everyone.
The author actually only wants to inspire enthusiasm for the new German astrological forecasting methods of his master Lehrieder and explains them in detail in the astrology book published at the same time (Lehrieder's Multiple Directions Predict Lottery Profit Numbers). So that a layman could even predict lottery numbers with a pocket calculator. Or using an astrology program with a US user interface. He wants to show that he's not a fantasist. His professional and hobby CV seems to be ideally suited to this.
This extraordinary, very inspiring book touches the reader with moments and accounts of the author's experiences in a wide variety of fields: criminal investigator, autodidact, karate pioneer, Zen Buddhist.
A treat for the curious: his career as a detective reads almost like a crime novel.
But in all other areas of life, too, he is always on an honest search for the truth - or even for the one, all-encompassing truth and reality. His Zen Buddhist meditation practice and experience, which he repeatedly flashes up and outlines, serves him well and carries him through all of life's tragedies. He even describes his "physics of enlightenment".
The injury to his shooting hand unexpectedly leads him into early retirement as a senior criminal investigator, enabling him to enter the world of business and enjoy the "dolce fair niente" of his various hobbies: management consultancy, IT lecturer, Zen meditation, Japanese martial arts - as a judoka, karate pioneer and aikido teacher - and last but not least as a recognized scientific astrology researcher and consultant.
Based on two books by Victor Ostrovsky on the modus operandi of the Mossad in the assassination of German Prime Minister Uwe Barschel and the prevented assassination of US President Bush, the author also considers the Mossad guilty of the murder of John F. Kennedy. It could also have foiled - via the BND and CIA - the Mossad's plan to kill Barack Obama in 2014, as predicted by an astrologer.
Do we have to prevent the Mossad from continuing to kill disagreeable US presidents in the future?
This very refreshing book is highly recommended - not least because of its razor-sharp gallows humor.
