Book One: Wolfgang | ||
Fairy tales and myths demonstrate that
for thousands of years human beings have tried to tell stories that
could be told in no other way than by means of symbols or dream
language code. Book One constitutes the entrance to a mighty
“magical landscape” where no rules apply except those of the
landscape itself. In these regions the perennial question is: dare
we take another step forward? If we dare do so – no matter what we
will get to hear – it may happen, for instance, that one could be
given the task of placing Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings on
top of Wagner’s opera cycle The Ring of the Nibelung, as if
we were having on our hands two transparent maps which – when lit
from behind – coincide to reveal longitudes and latitudes as well as
a wealth of parallel stories. As a culmination, a cunning mechanism
is revealed: The Cursed Ring. At a first glance it does not
look particularly dangerous, but later on it turns out to be capable
of blowing to atoms the consciousness, building a false
consciousness on top of the right one as well as sending humanity
“back to the stone age”, as far as evolution is concerned.

Book Two: The Ring and the Pyramid | ||
After having made our way through “the
secret door” of the pyramid, we enter a completely new landscape – a
world hidden to those who dare not be true to themselves. In fact,
here a violent struggle between good and evil prevails, a battle
between God and the Devil – and only the brave is able to keep their
balance. To compensate, the new magical landscape shows us the right
weapons for this battle, and as we saw earlier on, the strongest
weapon of evil was The Cursed Ring, capable of forcing even
the coolest hero to his knees. As a counterpoise we have the human
being’s own awesome consciousness, and the very pyramid structure
from Book One is just the beginning: here we have a structure that
turns out to describe the most intimate processes of the
consciousness. As it transpires, this fantastic building may be
“x-rayed” by something we might call intuitive geometry, by means of
which we may map not only the details of the consciousness but also
the nature of “the good, the true and the beautiful”. Indeed, these
qualities make up “the weapons of the Light”, and in the end they
are stronger than the Ring. |

Book Three has been written 20 years
after the publication of the first two books. It has been written
over a period of approximately 10 years and it totals about four
times the first two books. Because of its bulk this part of The
Ringbearer’s Diary has been divided in three volumes, which
simultaneously turn out to represent the extremes of the Darkness/evil
– and the way out of the Darkness, respectively. So, Part Two of
Book Three slowly develops into an actual diary that translates all
the preceding discoveries into daily practice and Part Three brings
everything together. |

The second part of Book Three describes
the journey out of the limitations and blockages that abound in our
world history and cultural history. At the same time we now travel
with a new superior vision through the consciousness and through
myths and fairy tales. We contain an inner “World Tree” that simply
cannot be felled or poisoned – if we travel in the direction of the
true and the noble, nothing can stop us. This is what the
consciousness tells us, while its last details are being mapped. |
Book Three: The
Sphinx Part Three: The Redemption |
Not yet available |
We have now come so far in our journey
that – to the tenacious reader – a huge amount of concepts and
events create especially significant contexts. Now a lot of
associations have been connected up with many different details and
in this way a whole new form of language actually arises whose full
depth may be acknowledged only by those who have followed from the
beginning. The technique highly resembles Wagner’s use of
remembrance motifs, also called leitmotifs. So, parallel to
examining Wagner’ s latest compositions, i.e. the third act of
Götterdämmerung as well as the entire opera of Parsifal, Wagner’ s
extensive use of this technique – where the singers sing what they
mean, while the orchestra tells us what they really think – is
linked to the many details of our story. No longer are we dealing
with an examination of musical works, but with the use of great art
as an actual door opening on worlds lying behind. |
