Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)

This two-volume work focuses on transcultural management and leadership in the third millennium. The author challenges the prevailing interpretation of the terms “intercultural” and “transcultural” by employing the principles of quantum physics, neurophysiology, biology, and epistemology from various cultures, eras, and civilizations. The core of the work lies in the construction and modeling of a transcultural level that transcends and integrates the intercultural approach, thereby enabling a more comprehensive understanding and management of cultural affairs in global politics and economics.

• The Relationship Between Intercultural and Transcultural Management
• The Role of Consciousness in Intercultural Competence
• The Importance of Unity and Diversity in Global Management
• The Cultural Challenge of the Third Millennium
• The Quest for a Sustainable Global Civilization

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

• DIE GROSSEN KULTUR-REVOLUTIONEN: RÜCKBLICK UND AUSBLICK: This chapter analyzes five major cultural revolutions of the past five hundred years, arguing that their underlying principle is the idolatry of abstract mental principles and a relentless pursuit of absolute truth through dialectical processes. The chapter then explores the need for a constructive meta-revolutionary approach that transcends the dialectical cycle of reactions and counter-reactions.
• THE CULTURAL LABOUR OF MANKIND: This chapter examines the concept of the “laboring of cultures” as a symptom of creation gravitating toward unity. It argues that the mind's tendency to cling to components of the whole creates a disconnect from the totality of life, leading to various dialectics of diversity. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the importance of realizing the oneness of life through love and understanding.
• CULTURE THERAPY: This chapter explores the concept of culture therapy, arguing that the cultural dimension of man needs to be managed in a way that prevents and cures culture-based conflicts. The chapter introduces the Transcultural Profiler, a diagnostic and therapeutic tool that can be used to assess and re-establish the balance of a system's cultural architecture.
• THE THIRD MILLENNIUM GLOBAL CIVILISATION FORMULA. INTEGRATING THE RELATIVE AND THE ABSOLUTE: This chapter addresses the problem of cultural instability and the inability of cultural means alone to solve it. The author suggests a shift in perspective from the relative to the absolute, arguing that the latter can provide a more sustainable and efficient way of managing cultural diversity. The chapter explores the interconnectedness of the relative and absolute realms and proposes a holistic transcultural management model for integrating the two.
• KULTUR UND BEWUSSTSEIN – DIE BEDINGTHEIT DER INTERKULTURELLEN KOMPETENZ DURCH DIE PSYCHOLOGISCHE ENTWICKLUNG: This chapter examines the relationship between consciousness and culture, arguing that the former conditions the latter. The chapter presents two models, the first outlining the six stages of psychological development, the second illustrating the six stages of intercultural development. The author then highlights the interconnectedness of these two models and their crucial role in achieving transcultural competence.
• THE MAGIC OF THE ONE: THE ONE AS THE REGULATOR OF UNITY AND DIVERSITY: This chapter explores the unifying principle behind diversity, arguing that the concept of “Oneness” can be used to understand and manage cultural differences. The author draws on the Mandelbrot set and Daoism to illustrate the mathematical and philosophical principles of Oneness and its relationship to diversity. The chapter then examines the potential for transcending the dialectic of unity-diversity through the realization of a more profound awareness of Oneness.
• SUMMUM UNUM – THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE: This chapter explores the concept of the “one life” and its diverse forms, arguing that the oblivion of the common source is the root of diversity conflicts. It emphasizes the need for a reconnection to the source of life to heal the life-threatening disconnect and integrate diversity in its unity. The chapter concludes by suggesting that a shift in perception from the superficial to the essential can lead to a more complete understanding of life and diversity.
• RESPECTING FOREIGNERS: This chapter examines the I-We-They principle, highlighting the prejudice associated with the term “foreigner” and the need for a more inclusive approach to cultural interaction. The chapter presents two real-life examples of successful intercultural encounters, demonstrating how reducing distance and increasing complexity can foster greater understanding and integration.
• DIVERSITY AND COMMON GROUND: This chapter explores the complex relationship between diversity and common ground. The author critiques various approaches to resolving this dilemma, including Marxism, intercultural research, and dilemma theory. It then introduces the 360° Transcultural Synergy Model, a holistic approach to managing diversity by integrating the relative and absolute.
• CULTURAL AWAKENING AND WOLRD PEACE: This chapter delves into the concept of culture as the cosmological DNA of the micro-macrocosmic continuum. It argues that the cultural DNA, with its interconnected information, holds the key to achieving a more sustainable and peaceful global society. The chapter emphasizes the need for a metacultural awareness that recognizes the importance of cultural integrity for the well-being of all living organisms.
• THE TOTAL CULTURAL SOLUTION: This chapter explores the notion of totality and the human mind’s capacity to encompass it. The author uses the metaphor of a circle to illustrate how cultural diversity can be integrated in the unity of the center. The chapter discusses the role of consciousness, the importance of choosing a transcultural perspective, and the transformative power of viewing the world through the lens of the One.
• DIE GLOBALE ALLIANZ DES DRITTEN MILLENNIUMS – EIN ENTWURF: This chapter examines the global cultural imperative for a sustainable global civilization. The author argues that the current state of human affairs is marked by a fragmentation of consciousness and a pursuit of individual or group survival at the expense of the whole. The chapter proposes a shift to a more integrative, solidaristic consciousness as the foundation for a global alliance.
• DIE DEUTSCHE IDENTITÄT: GEDANKEN ZUR IDENTITÄTSFRAGE MEINES VATERLANDES: This chapter addresses the complexities of German cultural identity, highlighting the historical and ongoing struggles to reconcile various cultural strains. The author critiques the approaches to managing cultural change, especially the attempts at Americanization and Russification. The chapter then proposes a transcultural Germanization as a model for achieving a more balanced and integrative cultural identity.
• EINE KULTURELLE EINHEITSFELDTHEORIE – EINE KULTURPHILOSOPHISCHE BETRACHTUNG: This chapter explores the concept of a unified field theory in culture, arguing that the Creator is the ultimate principle that governs and connects all aspects of creation. The chapter emphasizes the importance of recognizing the Creator as the essential source of life and the need to understand the connection between the Creator and the created. It then outlines a path to a deeper understanding of culture and its relationship to a unified field.
• DIE DÄMMERUNG EINES NEUEN INTERKULTURELLEN PARADIGMAS – EIN ENTWURF: This chapter examines the current state of intercultural research in Germany, highlighting the need for a more nuanced and comprehensive approach. The author critiques the limitations of existing intercultural frameworks and proposes a shift to a transcultural paradigm. This paradigm shift involves the expansion of consciousness beyond the mental realm to a higher, metamental dimension.
• MEDITATION AS MEDIATION THROUGH THE CULTURE OF TRUTH: This chapter explores the power of meditation as a means of achieving inner peace and transcending cultural conflict. The author argues that true cultural freedom can be attained through a connection with the divine, a communion with the Source of Truth. This communion allows one to cleanse the mind of cultural conditioning and experience the liberation of a Culture of Truth.
• INNER CULTURE - INTER CULTURE - OUTER CULTURE: This chapter delves into the interconnected triad of inner, inter, and outer culture, highlighting the importance of understanding the mechanisms of the mind in shaping our cultural perceptions. The author explores the concept of a quantum cultural optic, emphasizing the need for both an atomistic and holistic view of culture. It then discusses the role of consciousness in shaping our understanding and management of intercultural relations.
• BUILDING THE WORLD OF TOMORROW: This chapter explores the challenge of building a sustainable future. The author emphasizes the importance of recognizing the cyclical nature of human affairs and the need to identify and discard corrupting elements of the past. It then examines the role of ethical consciousness in navigating the duality of human existence and proposes a superquantic approach to building a world of tomorrow.
• DIE MENSCHEIT AM SCHEIDEWEG DER ZIVILISATIONEN – DAS WAHRE PROBLEM UND DIE WAHRE LÖSUNG: This chapter addresses the fundamental religious and cultural roots of societal problems, arguing that the current cultural malaise is rooted in the fragmentation of religious consciousness. The author highlights the dangers of ignoring the religious dimension of human affairs and emphasizes the importance of a renewed understanding of the relationship between God and humanity.
• DER BRÜLLENDE LÖWE – DAS DRITTE JAHRTAUSEND UND DIE SUCHE NACH DER MENSCHLICHEN IDENTITÄT – THIRD MILLENNIUM GLOBAL IDENTITY STRUGGLE: This chapter explores the human quest for self-knowledge and the search for a true identity. The author examines the limitations of traditional approaches to this question, both secular and religious. He then suggests a shift to a transpersonal, transcultural, and transcendent view of human existence, emphasizing the importance of a superquantic consciousness for achieving a global identity.
• DIE WEIHNACHTSKULTURELLE EPIPHANIE: This chapter examines the meaning of Advent and Christmas as symbols of the arrival of the Messiah and the possibility of human redemption. The author contrasts the true meaning of Christmas with the commercialization of the holiday and emphasizes the importance of a personal journey of liberation and the birth of Christ in the heart.
• DAS SUPRARATIONALE INTERKULTURELLE MANAGEMENT: This chapter explores the potential for a supra-rational approach to intercultural management. It begins by outlining the limitations of the rational-analytical approach and emphasizes the need for an expansion of consciousness to a higher, noetic dimension. The chapter then presents the Transcultural Profiler, a model for understanding and managing cultural complexity through the integration of the relative and absolute, the transcultural and the intercultural.
• REFORMATION UND KULTURELLE DEKONSTRUKTON: This chapter explores the historical impact of the Reformation on German cultural identity and the subsequent fragmentation of the Christian world. The author argues that the Reformation is the root of a fundamental historical malaise and that the present state of German affairs is a consequence of this ongoing process of disintegration. The chapter concludes by calling for a return to the unity of the divine covenant as the only path to healing and reconciliation.
