THE WORLD IN THE MIND - ABOUT PERCEPTION, FEAR AND INNER REALITY
Why People See the Same World Through Different Eyes
This is the third volume in the series "Our Time"
As a little boy, I regularly had to walk past a huge dog on my grandmother’s farm.
To this day, I still remember the heavy iron chain.
The dog lay there calmly.
Yet in my mind, this silent animal became something threatening.
Many fears do not arise only from what happens.
But from what people inwardly make of it.
Why people often see the same world through completely different eyes.
Why does a harmless moment feel calm to one person – and threatening to another?
Why are fear, tension and uncertainty becoming increasingly noticeable in our time?
And why do so many people seem unable to find inner calm anymore?
In this personal book about perception, fear and the inner tension of modern life, Bernhard Christoph Lichtinger combines his own experiences of living in a motorhome in New Zealand with observations about control, distrust, inner unrest and the way people experience reality.
Between freedom camping, encounters on the road, childhood memories and experiences from different phases of life, an intense and thoughtful book emerges about how strongly people not only see the world – but inwardly create it.
This book is not a psychological guide.
Not a theory.
Not a quick solution.
But rather a quiet observation about the human nervous system, inner reality and the way thoughts, experiences and emotions shape our view of the world.
For people who:
- often feel inwardly tense
- sense the growing nervousness of our time
- want to better understand why people react so differently
- are interested in perception, psychology and inner calm
- are looking for an honest, personal and profound book
A book about:
- fear and uncertainty
- control and distrust
- meditation and inner calm
- freedom and rootedness
- travel and loneliness
- perception and reality
- the quiet overwhelm of modern life
Bernhard Christoph Lichtinger writes from lived experience – from fractures, detours, new beginnings and encounters that do not need to be invented. His texts emerge where real life leaves its marks.
