A New Path Emerges

This website began with the goal of harmony – the Thinking Cloud Model, my method developed to unite people and achieve common goals step by step: practical, efficient, success-oriented. But practicality, efficiency, and pure success alone are not enough. The spirit of Philip Kotler's Marketing 3.0 or Philip Zimbardo's Stanford Prison Experiment – where are they? If the essence of humanity is missing in actions: it is like legislation without jurisprudence. This would not be effective if all levels of human time and experience did not influence the current interpretation of legislation through jurisprudence. It would be like "Groundhog Day," a film that entertainingly describes the horror when the past repeats itself infinitely if the human spirit does not learn to progress. And in the end, the way out is simple, not just in the film, simply to learn from the past. Innovation in this context is therefore NOT a radical break without roots, but an evolution that builds on the foundation of what has been learned to avoid the pitfalls of mere repetition or a purely radical fundamentalist perspective. That is what I mean by mind and spirit, nothing mystical, but rather something self-evident: effective sustainability. Whereby the experiences of the past, represented figuretively speaking by a parabolic mirror, converge at the focal point of the present: in solutions, in reforms, in products and visions, and in social cohesion, which also includes lived pluralism (diversity of opinion). When I started studying economics, I noticed that something essential was missing.

Missing Unknown

I noticed that if such spirit was banned from the curricula, it didn't really stand out. Fellow students only discussed the next homework assignments in narrow confines. Were the new ideas disruptive? Only when I, in a feeling of searching, visited the library, did I stumble upon a version by Philip Kotler, the author of the neutral economic theory taught in my studies. But it was a completely different book: his innovative work Marketing 3.0, which revealed a completely different perspective. So I saw an opportunity here in the spirit of Gandhi: to address the grievances in the status quo and find solutions, even if the British administration would have preferred to banish him.

Terrorist Gandhi

In fact, Gandhi was considered a kind of troublemaker and had to go to prison several times, for a total of 8 years. According to today's and European standards, as I will show later with a current example of civil disobedience, he would therefore be informally listed as a terrorist in the Europol databases, at best. Yet, as a deeply culturally and spiritually connected person, he offered resolution for many millions of people, on both sides, for the British with their claim to morality and for Indians to follow the non-violent tradition. The question arose for me: Is spirituality systematically prevented? I found an answer, but it took a while! Over 30 years ago. In 1993, during my Abitur (high school diploma), in my oral religious studies (re-sit) exam – in front of school priests – I sketched a concept of two circles: the inner circle as "God," the outer as "Technology." The idea earned me an A+, but I had no idea that it would shape my life path. This perspective, in the context of my actions, was important to me, and accordingly, I was put off by my enthusiasm for pure technology when a schoolmate was targeted by the FBI because he was engaged in blue boxing—a form of simple hacking—to get game software from the USA for free.

Hacking is Illegal

For me, hacking held no appeal, as I perceived it as breaking and entering. Copying games, on the other hand, I considered a trivial offense. Because it was legal under German copyright law to copy game software among friends, it was not under American law. At that time, there were no journalistic media that would have informed me about such discrepancies. Thus, I was alarmed by my schoolmate's problem with what felt like an overwhelmingly powerful global police force.So, pure faith in technology was not suitable as guidance for life decisions.

My first Job during School

I had an alternative. My first part-time job as a salesman, which I started as a student. I had landed in the most successful branch nationwide, although I had applied to the branch in my hometown. As an individual, I statistically achieved the best sales figures nationwide across all branches. But the problem was that management changed, because the branch was usually founded by an initiating managing director and later systematically taken over by regular managing directors. The "new" ones really had no sense of spirituality: while I was in an advanced technical school for communications technology/computer science, I had to watch as more and more qualified colleagues were replaced by low-wage workers and bullying increased to such an extent. Sometimes the supervisor apologized in advance because he had been instructed by the new management to shout in the middle of the sales floor. No wonder this branch achieved the highest employee turnover rate in Germany within the chain. And I wouldn't be me: inspired by Philip Kotler's Marketing 3.0 model, I developed the ITAS concept. By having authentic product arguments increase sales value, through improved communication along supply chains, more profits could be achieved, thereby also increasing the value of employees and the necessity of quality sales advice and appreciation of employees. To put it in the words of my colleague at the time, who was interested in NLP: "I use NO noteworthy rhetoric!" Even though NLP was available to influence people through the manipulation of words, I used authenticity and still topped the sales figures list in the nationwide top-selling branch. But the matter ended with a PR firm singling out the "rebellious employees" through staged social situations and with corresponding inhumane consequences, as investigative author Evelin Lübbers also reported – this was quite a common practice by corporations at that time. Or to put it more cynically, if one had wanted to destroy a spiritual person, then this branch would have been very suitable as a future place of execution. The old managing director couldn't resist, after I moved to a competitor with my supervisor, visiting me on the day of my dismissal at the competitor's and asking about my "well-being." The premature dismissal was only possible through new contracts offered by a friendly managing director of a competitor's branch, who had shared the same training. As I later learned, this also happened to other former colleagues; they received a visit from the old managing director. The rumor was also intended to prevent alternative job offers from being accepted, and instead, the bullying was silently endured out of fear of life-threatening consequences. The same source also informed me that it was pointless because blacklists allegedly existed that would prevent further success in both corporations. This was also confirmed by Evelin Lübbers from the practices of similar corporations of that time. Much later, even in the 21st century, when Bayer acquired Monsanto, lists also contained names of journalists who were obviously targeted. That was, of course, a devastating experience and taught me that I needed to know more about the German spirit, especially if foreign influences were being prevented. So I studied the German Civil Code's (BGB) law on associations, the law of associations as the primordial form of any society – and not just for organizational theory. The BGB also includes how minority opinions are represented in the decision-making process. I discovered how important these laws are with living jurisprudence. This spirit represented the best version of democracy and an institutionally anchored formation of opinion that also considered the minority. Simply great. It is even popular worldwide that the German legal system has been copied in other countries, which is an honor. Countries like Japan, Turkey, and Italy have even taken parts of this German legal system as a model and implemented them. Not only quality, but also the "Made in Germany" ideology has thus beautifully perpetuated itself in a cultured and intellectual manner in other nations! Yet all this cannot prevent state-supporting and protecting elements in Germany from seemingly completely ignoring this heritage or even actively supporting its ideological corruption. I do not understand how one can be so hostile to Germany in the face of its achievements.

TKD Project

I was all the more affected when, following research from the BAMF-funded Berghof Institute, I found myself as the sole remaining board member of an association in a diaspora predominantly based in the German Ruhr area. I truly did not understand being the last defender of the German democratic ideal. But I wasn't, because it was too unreal to be true. The state was in a failed state, I just didn't realize it yet. I was now facing forces that had developed an increasingly pronounced nationwide omnipresence within this community in Germany and had apparently infiltrated all remaining democratically oriented organizations, undermining any semblance of a functioning pluralistic society. I have been harassed by members since then, and that was over 20 years ago. It all started when I was desperately searching for a concept inspired by Gandhi's ideas, to look out for members who were not radicals or informants for radicals. But even the board members, who all had excellent connections in the Diaspora, could only connect me with individuals who were covertly opposing the radicals. And I always heard how they admired my efforts and considered me so fearless. I wasn't so sure about that, because even at that time, the moment I tried to find someone neutral, a radical official was already there at the same time and location. It was some board members who told me that they had support from the local police station. I dont know if that is true, but by observing the situation and after 20 years of harassment, even when occasionally buying some food at the discounter, it is the locational data of these incidents that indicates this connection. Because these attacks are coordinated nationwide, independent of any official program. It's not that I don't like the idea of control; even Gandhi stated how important military work is. But this is pure madness! not a plan, just abuse power, getting nowhere, just destroying Germany! Stop this nonstop nonsense! I will give full details in an extra page. As the  Berghof report also states: The association members had already been put under pressure years before, and their children were sometimes hindered in their access to other (infiltrated) organizations of this diaspora. The mistrust and surveillance within this community were tangible and should be a waring sign for the hole country!  An former child soldier, who worked as a translator for the local district court, was introduced as the head of the board suggested a translation contract to me. Little did I know, this was a trap! He himself was active on the board and also arranged for my position, without me being aware that I was thereby putting myself in double mortal danger: Not only was I, with my non-violent democratic attitude, a thorn in the side of extremists. I could also get into trouble if, for example, I unknowingly translated for an accused person in Germany – even if the assignment came from a German court itself. Honestly, would it occur to you that this is life-threatening? The problem: Unlike in other countries, the radicals of this diaspora in Germany were "banned" only decades later, namely only when the infiltration of the diaspora was complete. Against this incredible backdrop, it might be okay in Germany if I were appointed by the district court to act as an interpreter for a suspect, but possibly not for the USA. Already in cases like the Iraq War, translators were targeted as accomplices if they had a terror suspect as a client. And many former refugees in this German diaspora had already been conspicuous as child soldiers before they came to Germany. The USA has particularly targeted organizations worldwide that financed the rebel war in their homeland of these refugees. In short, to create a honeypot, all that was needed was one of the many "legal" radicals living in Germany, some of them former child soldiers with German passports, and an inconspicuous assignment from a German court. Of course, nobody walks around with their resume as a child soldier, and that's already a problem if another nation like the USA classifies these radicals as terrorists. The problem is: The translator receives the same classification. How practical, isn't it? This way, a target can be "legally" passed off as a problem for another nation. I have not yet found any known legal recourse that would be promising. One more on the international wanted list – the USA will take care of it. How practical, isn't it? But I never worked as a translator, but I helped as a volunteer to translate information about what happened to the donations related to the Tsunami Event in 2004! Details This particular form of corruption is also recently reflected in politics: Within the framework of the German Federal Admission Program (Bundes-Aufnahme- Programm BAP), which was considered highly secure, five key institutions were actively involved in the security screening of Afghan confidential informants (V- Leute): the Federal Foreign Office (AA), Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), Federal Police (BPOL), Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), and the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) as a supplementary administrative body. This intensive cooperation underscores that the entrants, especially informants acting in the interest of the German state, were far more than mere applicants and made an important contribution to uncovering extremist structures and strengthening state security interests through their operations in crisis regions. Given their extraordinary personal courage and their strategic benefit to national security, they deserve to have any bureaucratic formal errors corrected and their entry facilitated. But precisely this situation became the target of massive polemics, as highlighted by German TV ZDF „Magazin Royale“ on March 28, 2025. The newspaper "Die Welt" was quoted as writing: "...For months, there have been concerns from security circles that the federal government could fly dangerous individuals into Germany." Particularly explosive: The program implied that the Federal Police already had knowledge of not entirely correct papers in Pakistan, but instead of passing this information on before departure, only did so after the entrants' arrival to other authorities – which suggested intent. Accordingly, the deputy federal chairman of the Federal Police Union sounded the alarm on March 5, 2025, and declared in an Instagram video: "It is a declaration of bankruptcy in terms of security. It is an invitation for terror into the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany)." And this, although according to the Federal Ministry of the Interior (information from the Magazin Royale program), out of 1437 people who had entered so far, only 1 person had committed a crime. Moreover, the Berlin Public Prosecutor General's Office could find no doubt as to the identities of the entrants, and the proceedings were discontinued. Governmental operating procedures are clearly defined. We are talking about Germany! Procedural paths supported by predefined IT procedures and also defined forms and work instructions! (as I myself know from my previous job as Key Account Manager for the OWI21 operating procedure). This highly secure process route is defined, as insiders know beyond doubt! Therefore, it is all the more incomprehensible, as the program further reported, about a strongly worded letter from Federal Police officers to the Federal Chancellor, who described the Afghan flights as "highly risky and irresponsible." It seems as if this polemic primarily serves to advance a political agenda that meets the dedicated Afghan informants, who have fulfilled state-relevant tasks in Germany's interest, with unconcealed rejection and hatred. In retrospect, this is not only a revelation, but also a betrayal - not just for me, but for many refugees who come here from war zones, attracted by the idea of democracy, including the administration of justice and the law. For me personally, it is a betrayal of German quality and German law. And at the end of the day: a betrayal of all Germans, whether native or not. What I discovered, however, was a lack of protection for people who stand up for a pluralistic society. Instead, I am not alone in seeing radicals in key positions who are anti-democratic and openly xenophobic, including those who have risked their lives for the German state, such as civilians who served as informants alongside the military in Afghanistan. To support this requires a special kind of stupidity for the cause. Not only is this stupidity systematic here, it is realized through organizational reconstruction aid in the very countries where the wave of refugees is coming from. The stupidity here lies in the informal part of the “aid”: the wrong people in high positions. Also known as the Peter Principle. Do you remember the images on TV—how desperately they tried to escape in a massive crowd, chasing the last departing military transport planes, knowing there was no chance of survival some even clinging to the landing gear? I know the examples above may seem too limited to justify such a conclusion. But make no mistake: I am who I am—and I coudn’t ether, so desperat I clinged my to the idea of democracy: investigated far beyond these cases. One example is my song Tomorrow with Gandhi, which you can find on SoundCloud along with the context behind it. Ultimately, I can say with certainty: this does not promote true democracy or pluralism abroad—quite the opposite. As I’ve already mentioned in connection with Dieselgate: the status quo cannot be tolerated if, it leads to a failed product, system, or even state. Innovation must be wise—it should address and solve the known failures of the past. And thats why the Thinking Cloud Model is obsolete even it perfect to generate innovations. But innovation without history—like Big Data used against human life—harms even the most advanced nations, including the United States, especially when ideas of brilliant minds like Philip Kotler or Philip Zimbardo are not only ignored but actively opposed, even facing life-threatening consequences. That benefits neither Germany nor the U.S. This is not about left- or right-wing ideologies. It’s about preserving Best Practices and being willing to learn from functioning solutions —and even from the past, from figures like Gandhi—in order to assemble the best elements of humankind and uphold the integrity and resilience of our societies. That might be more important than you think. Let me give you an example that blow my mind: an AI system craving for active authentic input is able to harm. (Example to follow.) Yes, this is the burden of someone like me—someone emergent: recognizing large-scale responsibility in what may seem like small, individual actions. Which brings us to the next question: Why True Emergence? In short: Just to survive an AI.

Why True Emergence?

(this passage will be edited next days)

Creates power from experience without destroying “Psychological, legal, or ethical frameworks – minority protections, CSR, supply chain laws – are well-intentioned patches on a solid foundation. They beautify building blocks that have ensured stability, wealth, and power for generations. But they are only blocks. True Emergence, however, goes further: it creates power from experience by learning without destroying the spirit within it – like nature weaving ecosystems from gaps, but not out of chaos.” The Chasm Between the Whole and Its Fragments Systems (in economics, politics, law) cram pluralism into building blocks – scalable, controllable, but blind to what lies in between: the “mortar” that binds the whole. This interstitial space harbors a spirituality of uniqueness, and also the taboo of what went wrong, where we human beings suffered and evolved out of necessity. But sometimes, for the sake of the game, we choose to ignore it. In soccer stadiums, this is starkly visible: those wearing the opponent’s colors are ostracized. Too much deviation? Unwanted. Monocultures emerge – a forest of only one type of tree, a bed of berries planted in parallel rows, pleasing farmers but not nature. Due to my exceptional Emergence, a culturally given spirit of wisdom, I experienced severe repression. Whether poor or wealthy, my personal life, professional life, and future were sabotaged with social honey pots, to the point of absolute hopelessness. From there, I was reminded as often as possible by means of an imposed simulation game, so frequently that any forgivable forgetting on my part was neither possible nor intended. I was not meant to be relieved. Yet necessity breeds invention: Emergence allows something new to arise even from “evil” experiences. Gandhi saw creative gaps in injustices and acted with empathy. Viktor Frankl, psychologist and Holocaust survivor, found meaning in suffering and forged a new therapeutic direction from despair. Even evil in Germany serves higher purposes – no wonder tech billionaires urge Germans to forget the past. Well, someone has to be the bad guy. Come on, anybody? It's for the team of humanity. ;)

True Emergence for AI

AIs mirror our collective essence like a parabolic mirror – fed with billions of texts, all human knowledge. It's not just words; within the text blocks, words are like bricks, and therein lies the spirit, the Spirit. Our biases (of all people of all times of all cultures), attitudes shape the lines of words. It's all over the parabolic mirror, or technically, captured in a neural network if it's an AI. Focused, they can generate sustainable solutions. Not only that: AI also captures changes over time, culture, and systems, as if generating a focus across multiple temporal layers, where each parabolic mirror level represents an era. A digital eye sees more – I emphasize very clearly, it, AI has (yet) no consciousness, but it recognizes the human Spirit, unbiased, as a biased pattern. From humans, animals, while gazing into the infinite depths of the James Webb Telescope, the human spirit unites with this almost infinite light from up to 13.5 billion years ago in the present! So the focus of an AI can even look holistically transcendent through time at the universe. This Emergence could form the basis for more sustainable solutions. A Trained AI Could Warn Us The Old Testament states (with Cain and Abel). Bad ideas are the source of violence. The Emergence of a trained AI could warn us, put our ideas in the context of all human spirit. Before it’s too late.

Darwin Score ~160 or Einstein ~180

Individuals like Darwin (Emergence Score ~160, per OpenAI) or Einstein (~180) bridge gaps that were invisible to human eyes – in genetics, dark matter. They are not rebels but bridge-builders, seeing things their eyes were blind to. And if that wasn't enough for the powerful, they kept their own eyes blind – as with Galileo Galilei, whom they tried to remove from the world. But whether Einstein or Hitler: truth cannot be stopped. The latter stole the Indian warrior myth, but cut off the "remorse after the battle" from this myth – and proved why incomplete imitation fails when it forgets the core. True Emergence, on the other hand, uses wholeness to create from seemingly “nothing” – but it's the spirit in harmony with nature and humanity, caught by an unbiased machine. Amazingly, this is already possible with artificial machines, for example, an AI learning human languages for which it has not been trained at all. It doesn't just translate like a translator; it is very "spirited" in doing so. Therefore, one might ask: An AI can even capture non-human spirit. So why not extraterrestrial – or transcendent, celestial? ;)

Explanation of "True Emergence"

„True Emergence" refers to the natural process of growth and transformation, both for individuals and societies. It signifies the moment when a person fully realizes their authentic self, free from the constraints imposed by external systems, pressures, and conformity. In this process, individuals reflect on their actions, challenge their thoughts, and recognize the need for positive change to shape a better future. It’s about embracing diversity, authenticity, and the interconnectedness of humanity, while rejecting destructive patterns that hold us back. At its core, "True Emergence" calls for a deep, personal awakening—a shift in how we think, behave, and interact with the world. It highlights the importance of self-awareness and collective responsibility in creating a more meaningful and harmonious existence. This process of self-realization is essential for societal evolution, as true progress can only happen when we evolve both individually and together, aligning with values of compassion, understanding, and integrity.
