News from Plato's Cave

Hello Everyone,
in 1982 I met Lama Ole Nydahl and became a Tibetan Buddhist. Lama Ole Nydahl is probably the best known western Buddhist teacher. He has founded over 600 meditation and study centers around the world, from Vladivostok to San Francisco. He gives longer meditation courses to teach the practical methods of Diamond Way Buddhism, such as the Ngoendro - the four foundational practices of the Diamond Way - or Phowa, an advanced meditation practice which is very useful at the moment of death.
Inspired by the example of my teacher I got the conviction, that the mind or more general: a transcendent entity is really existing. Following this conviction I had no doubt that this invisible entity must represent necessarily the ultimate foundation of the (physical) universe. This very conclusion gave birth to the development of what I am calling a MODERN METAPHYSICS
Meanwhile I’ve published several papers and books. The books are only available in German.
The forum of Philosophy Now “Metaphysics as a New Scientific Discipline” gives an idea about my view of metaphysics.
I got an Email Message from a participant of this forum who was wondering where I had got to after dropping a bomb into the forum and running away. He requested me to come back to respond to some of the reactions of that thread, what I’ve already done. It was very inspiring and helped me to precise my own ideas.
Further information you can get on the website:
