It seems, that every culture has three steps or phases you are partly or successive in:

3 cultures:

• Creative – Inventing Things and ideas, taking risks, high failure rate
• Ready made – Using things and ideas, no own ideas, low risk, money consuming
• Recycling – Re-using things and ideas until they are worn out, no risk at all

Because it is a circle – the end of recycling is the beginning of creativity.

1. Believe everything
2. Criticize everything
3. Believe because you know

Problems are solutions in disguise!

A very bright and beautiful woman told me on my trip to India, that I am very “opinionated”. I thought about that: Is this good or bad?
I wondered often why only a few people started to discuss with me every time I gave an opinion but many people started to hate or avoid me.
Now I know. Opinions are for me the starting point of thinking. For most people I have met in my life, opinions were the stopping point of thinking. And if my viewpoint was not the same as their viewpoint – they got angry.
This, so it seems to me, is one of the problems of the world.

“You can work for me. I pay well!”
“No, Thank you. I don’t kill for money, even if it’s only myself!”

If you think about your schooldays – what do you remember most? If this, what you remember most are stories and pictures (inner pictures), then your inner self has decided the worth of StoryWay-Teaching.

Is it possible to transport all kinds of information per Story? I believe in these ideas, because they are more then techniques – Stories and inner pictures are the main way our brain store complex informations.

If you have a closer look to mnemotechniques and “modern” teaching techniques, you will find mostly Storytelling there.

William Butler Yeats: “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”

The StoryWay-Method contains two dialectic ways:

• Analysis and  Synthesis
• Understanding and Change

Every lie has a partner – the person who wish to believe in lies. That’s the reason why stories are more then lies. Stories are deliberately told as something which truth is not in the told facts but in emotions, inner pictures or moralic ideas. (More about this topic you may find here (in german language).

Die Lüge hat einen Partner, nämlich die Menschen, die an die Lüge glauben wollen:

Mehr über die Lüge vom philosophischen Standpunkt: hier.

Eine Story ist deshalb mehr als nur eine Lüge, weil sie absichtlich als etwas erzählt wird, bei dem der Wahrheitsgehalt nicht in der berichteten Tatsache, sondern im vermittelten Gefühl, inneren Bild oder der moralischen Grundaussage liegt.
