Rebel in a Human Jumpsuit
"The pursuit of truth in freedom, for freedom's sake - I lost, but was not defeated, grew stronger, became more aware, became more grateful. I won, but I am not a winner. Remember who you truly are." Jacob von Sternberg

To heal the tragic drama in which members of his family met their deaths, he travelled around the world. This journey led him along mysterious paths, let him experience unimagined miracles and meet wonderful people full of kindness.

He eventually achieved the healing of generations through his relentless search and longing to reunite his family on two continents.
He calls this miracle a gift of God and the essence of the Global Generational Consciousness.

"Well, I would call me a rebel in a human jumpsuit. Sounds dramatic, but is not, I was always different but full of respect for all sorts of beings. I love nature, animals, the creation. Every day I wander through the world with open eyes. Embrace the opportunities as they arise and just as life presents itself. I love to talk to strangers. I love to hug.“

The search for my family led me around the world. I had the chance to study so many different cultures, learning their way of living and the luck to make friends with so many different people.

The Global Generational Consciousness is fact for me since I was a child. How could I have a memory of a person I never got to know, because this person was killed before I was even born?

„This is no story of death and grief. It is a story of love and learning. This is a story of reunion and how a forced separation for more than forty years was healed by a miracle.“ These are the first words of my movie script in progress. It seems to me that just now, in this time, this story needs to be told.

In 1947 the sister of my Grandmother, married an G.I. In 1958 both were killed in a fire. The house was emptied, all belongings vanished. There was no trace of the three children, that survived the incident. US Army Officials took the two coffins and the three surviving children. Secretly they flew them out and away. No one was given any information.

All effort to search for them was blocked.

Until 1995. I started on an adventure around the globe to find my family. My family that I loved, but never had. Memories that I had received, but were not mine.

During my expedition I witnessed miracles and met wondrous people. I could go into detail and explain why it was statistically impossible to find my family. I could talk about strict secrecy that was applied to the events of 1958 by the US officials. But all this and much more seems to be proven non effective in a way. Love and unity cannot be stopped if we really want it and have finally decided.

In 1958, my Great-grandparents lost her daughter, their beloved son in law and the surviving grandchildren. My Great-grandmother died from a broken heart soon after.

In order to see ourselves clearly in the here and now, it is important to understand why we had already made the decisions manifesting here, long before. It is not enough to look at the moment to understand what is happening. The sum of our decisions, made aeons ago, draw our reality.

The Global Generational Consciousness can be researched and proven in so many scientific fields. There are different names for the sum. Different labels for single processes and phenomena. I could argue on the level of physics, or dive into the depths of philosophy and psychology. But it is and remains the human being who shapes this reality like no other being.

Every decision that is made is a determination and also a fork in the road. We find enough hints along the way and also help if we ask for it."

Artist Statement:
In order to see ourselves clearly in the here and now, it is important to understand why we had already made the decisions manifesting here, long before. It is not enough to look at the moment to understand what is happening. The sum of our decisions, made aeons ago, draw our collective reality (and our individual reality). Social conditions limit the unlimited space. The gene|rational memory is present to foster creativity in order to overcome the limits and restraints build by injustice and unfair social conditions.

The pursuit of truth in freedom, for freedom's sake - I lost, but was not defeated, grew stronger, became more aware, became more grateful. I won, but I am not a winner.
