![]() ![]() Is there a way out of this endless repetition of old patterns? Although he seems an immense task ahead for humanity, Professor Bache is in the end hopeful that we can find a way through. A university professor (now retired) Bache uses not only his keen analytical mind but also his own research in non-ordinary states of consciousness to trace the roots of the old traumas and patterns that we all carry to one degree or another and which deeply affect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. ![]() In many areas of human endeavor where we would expect something different - such as between religions each of which presents itself as offering a way to a higher connection with the divine and a better human society - we see again and again not only conflict and aggression but war and blinding hatred.

Hoffmann wrote two novels and more than fifty short stories, and he was also a jurist, composer, music critic, draftsman and caricaturist. Much of Hoffmann’s work highlights the corruptibility of the human mind as well as the darker side of human nature hidden behind the “harmony” of the upper classes. Hoffmann (1776-1822), full name Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann, wrote many fantasy and Gothic horror stories that inspired writers and composers alike during the Romantic era, though the works they inspired are not always as dark as his original stories. Hoffmann as the author of the classic Christmas story, “Nutcracker and the King of Mice”, or as the inspiration for the opera Tales of Hoffmann by Jacques Offenbach, his body of literary and musical works extends far beyond those, and he has inspired much of the Gothic literature we are familiar with today!Į.T.A. ![]() |
