EU as a haven of harmony?
Dear friends, history is a fascinating thing for almost all of you. However, I personally have to admit, as a former and rather passionate high-school student, that as I grow older, historical events somehow become blurred for me and gradually fade beyond both my conscious and unconscious awareness. I even believe that this is a good process.
I would like to tell you that many months ago I also had an extrasensory experience involving the current President of the European Commission. I never wanted to write about it... I was with her, as well as with individuals of her lineage, and I saw how they communicated each other, what values they held, what they were like on the inside, and so on.
In this context, let me digress slightly. Throughout the entire history of philosophy, and of the sciences that emerged from it, there have been debates on various levels about what is actually happening and how it happens. Do powerful individuals shape their time, or does the age itself shape the influential individuals who emerge from it and respond to it? Does the greater power lie with the masses, or with new ideas? New concepts? A shared social atmosphere, or visionaries? Political visionaries, religious ones, artists, scientists...
However, after what I experienced — in the sense of actually encountering — these unusual individuals connected to Ursula, to whom she undoubtedly belongs, I was prompted to look for connections. And lo and behold, I found some. I admit that I used AI to help me, so below I am attaching the unedited version. I assume that, in light of this, the situation is now much clearer:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The paternal grandfather of Ursula was Carl Eduard Albrecht. He was a medical doctor, psychologist, and psychotherapist:
He was a significant and respected figure in the academic field. Although Carl Eduard Albrecht (1902–1965) was not a globally renowned household name in psychology, he left a profound mark on the study of human consciousness and psychotherapy. Among his main professional contributions were:
A pioneering method of meditation: He drew upon the then-popular practice of autogenic training, a method of deep relaxation. He developed a specific psychotherapeutic method known as Versunkenheit (“immersed awareness”), in which patients, while in a deeply altered state of consciousness, were able to speak spontaneously and describe their inner experiences.
The study of mystical consciousness: He became an internationally recognized specialist in the psychological analysis of mystical states. He initially approached them as a skeptical scientist, but gradually came to the conclusion that authentic mystical experiences were not a psychological disorder, but rather a state of profound mental health and clarity of mind.
In 1951, he published his seminal book Psychologie des Mystischen Bewußtseins (Psychology of Mystical Consciousness). The book went through numerous reprints (most recently in German in 2018 and in an annotated English translation in 2019), and his work demonstrably influenced prominent European thinkers and theologians such as Gabriel Marcel and Karl Rahner.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ursula deliberately inserted herself into her grandfather lineage in order to draw upon — not saying exploit — his intellectual greatness and strength of spirit. Genetically, she certainly does not belong to him, yet this great man somehow gave her his consent to “insert herself into the lineage.” This is why, for example, she was born in Brussels, despite having German parents. Her life and career can serve as a model for understanding the questions I mentioned earlier: Do powerful individuals influence their times, or does the age itself shape these influential individuals who emerge from it and respond to it? Does the greater power lie with the masses, or with new ideas?
If you are interested in questions of this kind, go into them! Above all, do not allow yourselves to be fed intellectual models that are of no use. Follow your own path.
