I love Gothic, Sci-fi, Vampire, Witch, Rune and Tolkien Fantasy Genres like "DUNE", "BLADE RUNNER", "THE CROW", "BATMAN BEGINS", "UNDERWORLD", "DRESDEN FILES" and "LORD OF THE RINGS." It probably started when Bram Stoker's "DRACULA" penetrated the pristine veneer of the Christian Matrix and enraptured me into a deeper world of dark white bliss. I had similar feelings with Hesse's "Demian" and Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" but Dracula really possessed me with The QUESTION Of DEATH and reawakened something in me that I would now call Gothic Mysticism or to be more precise GOTING/GOTHING. How can the Christian Light destroy the Night? How can our finite sun/son destroy the infinite power of the DARK SIDE of the universe that gave it life and is continuously creating and destroying countless other suns/sons?

As a CERTIFIED LIFE SKILL COACH I enjoy coaching People to fulfill skills and behaviours from Goals they set. In many ways the Coaching approach I use is similar to Jungian Art and Drama Therapy. The goal is personal transformation through Art. For Example if you are SCREENWRITER I focus on concrete GOALS like a TREATMENT, FIRST DRAFT or SHOOTING SCRIPT as signs of your personal growth.

Born in Germany, I attended public school through to university in Canada. After school I started working in the entertainment business in different categories including Puppet Artist, Lighting Director, Video Artist, Writer and Producer of Films. Currently I belong to the Directors Guild of Canada as a THIRD ASSISTANT DIRECTOR.

My real passion has always been MYSTICISM. After practising different spiritual disciplines including Yoga, Scientology, Tibetan Buddhism, Kundalini Meditation and Jung's Individuation process, I focused my energies on re-awakening the "Goting/Gothing". I became a CERTIFIED LIFE SKILL COACH to help actualize this Goting/Gothing.

The Goting is the indigenous spiritual process of Northern Europe, which erupts in the form of Gothic Architecture, Books, Music, Art and Movies through out the Ages. In today's pop culture a New Ager would call his version of this process becoming "Enlightened". In Jungian terms it would be called the "Individuation" Process where the Alchemical like Archetypes of Vampires, Witches, Wizards, etc. magically transform blood in to the "Exlire of Life" - mortals into "Immortals". This is what happens to Paul Atreides, the protagonist of Dune, when he drinks the "Water of Life". Transformed he cries out - "Father ... Father the Sleeper has Awakened! (See "Dune......The Water of Life (Alternate)" in my Favorites.)

In the medieval Judeo-Christian MATRIX this Goting would be condemned as a heresy and Heretics where burned at the stake. Medieval mystics like Meister Eckhart may of transmuted this Goting to more acceptable Christian terms like "turning to the Godhead" (note the similarity between God, Goth, Got, Gott) but he was still excommunicated by the Vatican. Directors like George Lucas of Star Wars tried to call it the "Force" but the Wachowski Brothers of the "Matrix" realized that the process of breaking out of this Matrix is taking the Red Pill -- "turning to the Dark Side", the Jungian Shadow, the Faustian Mephistopheles, following the God of Dreams - Morpheus. (See "The Red Pill (1/3) " in my Favorites.)

The Canadian psychiatrist Dr. Buck coined the modern term "Cosmic Consciousness". The Zen Buddhists called it "Satori" and the Chinese called it "The Tao". The Tibetan yoga Milarepa called it the "Dharamakaya". In today's culture the Goting is best understood through the philosopher, arguably the greatest philosopher of the 20th century, Martin Heidegger. In Heideggarian terms I would simply call the process "the silence ToBe".
