It is explorative work that integrates state-of-the-art intercultural research in an innovative and effective formula derived from all major civilizations as well as from science. Those who hold offices in global business, global politics and global cooperation can position themselves better through the insights communicated here. The papers are written in English and German. -------
Interkulturalität ist für die Menschheit nach wie vor ein schier unlösbares Problem. Nutzt man jedoch die komparative interkulturelle Forschung, um die diesbezüglichen Erkenntnisse maßgeblicher Zivilisationen der Weltgeschichte in seine Suche nach dem Stein der Weisen des interkulturellen Managements zu finden, so stellt man fest, dass es in allen Kulturen und Zivilisationen Erkenntnisse gibt, die gleich den Speichen eines Rades in einer maßgeblichen Erkenntnis im Hinblick auf ein interkulturelles Panaceum zusammenlaufen. Ebenso die Naturwissenschaften, insbesondere das Quantenparadigma und die Wissenschaften vom Menschen, allen voran die Neurophysiologie und die psychologische Forschung, bestätigen die kulturübergreifenden Erkenntnisse. Somit kann man davon ausgehen, dass man, gleich der Nabe des Rades, den Kern des Problems identifiziert hat. Die Anwendung dieser entdeckten Formel befruchtet die interkulturelle Forschung und optimiert das damit einhergehende internationale Diversitätsmanagement: lokal, regional und global. Dieser Erweiterung der interkulturellen Erkenntnis und Praxis ist diese Pionierarbeit gewidmet. Forscher, Praktiker, Student oder Laie können hier jener Quelle der Erkenntnis fündig werden, aus der sie schöpfen können, wenn sie einen Beitrag für ein nachhaltiges interkulturelles Management im Bereich der Weltpolitik, der Weltwirtschaft und Weltfriedens leisten und sich als Leader und Manager des Kulturellen strategisch optimal positionieren möchten. Das Werk ist in Deutsch und Englisch verfasst und umfasst zwei Bände.

Objectives & Key Themes
The work aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of transcultural management and leadership in the third millennium, moving beyond conventional intercultural research. The primary research question addresses how humanity can overcome divisive cultural dynamics and achieve a unified, sustainable global civilization through a deeper understanding of the "One" as the regulator of both unity and diversity.
- Integration of the relative and absolute dimensions of existence.
- Development of a holistic "Transcultural Profiler" for management diagnostics.
- Application of quantum physical metaphors to socio-cultural and management phenomena.
- Analysis of cultural history, identity struggles, and the role of consciousness in conflict resolution.
- Restoration of human wholeness as a foundation for global management and world peace.
Excerpt from the Book
THE CULTURAL LABOUR OF MANKIND
The labouring of cultures, nations and religions are but symptoms of the whole of creation gravitating towards unity. The wars of diversity are but a reshuffling and reconfiguration of the totality. We look into the direction of the diverse components. Yet, it actually is about the total which integrates. The singularities of diversity are bound for a singular unity.
The integration of the universe of universes will reveal the mystery of life. What cannot be found in the parts will make sense when the whole becomes evident. It is impossible to understand an organ independently from the biological system it is part of. Similarly, the mystery behind creation will only become evident when its wholeness becomes evident.
The agent which can enable and impede this perception is the mind which focuses on and clings to components of the whole, because it finds security and stability in them and the price of this perceived security is that it misses the totality, which appears as far too vague to provide the security one seeks. And yet the small securities are all time-bound. The only real security lies in the totality of the whole because it transcends individual time.
Summary of Chapters
DIE GROSSEN KULTUR-REVOLUTIONEN: RÜCKBLICK UND AUSBLICK: Analyzes five major cultural revolutions of the last 500 years as regressive, virus-like processes that require a deeper psychological defense.
THE CULTURAL LABOUR OF MANKIND: Explores the concept of cultures as symptoms of a creation gravitating towards unity, emphasizing the necessity of integrating parts into a whole.
CULTURE THERAPY: Proposes a diagnostic and therapeutic approach to managing the cultural dimension, ensuring the balance of systems to prevent destabilization.
THE THIRD MILLENNIUM GLOBAL CIVILISATION FORMULA - INTEGRATING THE RELATIVE AND THE ABSOLUTE: Discusses how cultural waves lead to turbulence and why the solution must come from transcending cultural levels toward a higher, integrative principle.
KULTUR UND BEWUSSTSEIN – DIE BEDINGTHEIT DER INTERKULTURELLEN KOMPETENZ DURCH DIE PSYCHOLOGISCHE ENTWICKLUNG: Examines the hierarchy of consciousness development as the prerequisite for intercultural competence.
THE MAGIC OF THE ONE: THE ONE AS THE REGULATOR OF UNITY AND DIVERSITY: Investigates the "One" or Dao as the unifying principle that balances the centrifugal forces of diversity.
SUMMUM UNUM – THE DIVERSITY OF LIFE: Explores the connection between life and its diverse forms, identifying the "conduits" of life that must remain connected to the source.
RESPECTING FOREIGNERS: Discusses the "I-We-They" principle and how reducing perceived distance increases complexity and facilitates genuine human interaction.
DIVERSITY AND COMMON GROUND: Investigates the Interface between diversity and the common ground of human existence, highlighting the need for a shift in consciousness.
CULTURAL AWAKENING AND WOLRD PEACE: Defines culture in its totality as a construct connecting Creator and creation, serving as a platform for world peace.
THE TOTAL CULTURAL SOLUTION: Argues that a total solution for cultural issues lies in the perception of the whole rather than focusing on fragments.
