WHY "CAFÉ WELTGEIST" ?
.



The Café Weltgeist project originates from encounters
with intercultural interdisciplinary scholars
embodying both
the spirit of the Children of Nature and the 21st Century.

Café Weltgeist is dedicated
to Hermann Hesse's Spirit of

Wholeness
Clarity
Truth
Freedom
Beauty
Love
Depth
and
Foresight



"Weltgeist" (World Spirit)
as used by Hesse's in "Stufen" (see below)

+ because the entire world is participating

+ the Soul of the (human) world, the Old Cultures, fill this Stage

+ Futurists and Young Visionaries meet here

+ the motive of all participants is the well-being of the planet,
of Mother Earth and all her Children, in the more holistic words of the traditional people of the world



The term Weltgeist
+ implies in panlog. systems that there is a deeper meaning to the development of the world:

+ World History is understood as a process, in which individuals and people play a role, unknown to themselves. Taking up this fruitful thought, Café Weltgeist is geared to play a constructive role, to use peaceful growing together of the peoples of this world the most-widely read German author of the 20th Century a long time ago took up this thought, and phrased words which give impulse to the young and old on the break of the 21st Century:


...
"Und jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne,
Der uns beschützt und der uns hilft, zu leben.
...
Der Weltgeist will nicht fesseln uns und engen,
Er will uns Stuf' um Stufe heben, weiten.
...
Des Lebens Ruf an uns wird niemals enden...
Wohlan denn, Herz, nimm Abschied und gesunde!"

Hermann Hesse, Stufen


...

"And in each Beginning, there is Magic,
which Protects us, and Helps us Live.
...
The Weltgeist/World Spirit does not intend to bind or cramp us,
but wants to Lift us, Step by Step, Widen us.
...
Life's Call to Us will never cease...
Well, then, Heart, Let go, and Get Well!"

Hermann Hesse, Stages
