This work of fantasy fits into the diversity of abstract art. Trilingual, it offers fascinating possibilities to immerse yourself in the mystery of xenolinguistics, to revel in the abstract. The text of abstract literature is complemented by abstract graphics with discrete rotational symmetry. It is not exactly the legendary book with seven seals, but it requires already to engage unreservedly and to delve into the intrinsic riddle, to sink in its aesthetic appeal of the playful, apparently seemingly random-senseless, to dissolve. Thus, the enigmatic work also stimulates to reflect on literature and language in itself, to reflect on what is important to us in literary works, what expectations we have in this regard, what motivates us to engage in a work, to open it up. Why not this, but that? What do we take with us from the content of a work, how do we understand this, what to do if the riddle does not open up? Is literature similar to painting suitable for abstraction?

The riddle of life is simply this. For some mad reason in this mad world of ours, the things which men differ about most are exactly the things about which they must be got to agree. Men can agree on the fact that the earth goes round the sun. But then it does not matter a dump whether the earth goes around the sun or the Pleiades. But men cannot agree about morals: sex, property, individual rights, fixity and contracts, patriotism, suicide, public habits of health – these are exactly the things that men tend to fight about. And these are exactly the things that must be settled somehow on strict principles. Study each of them, and you will find each of them works back certainly to a philosophy, probably to a religion.

In 1918 Max Heindel wrote: “The process ofpreparation for the Aquarian Age has already commenced;and as Aquarius is an airy, scientific, intellectual sign, it isa foregone conclusion that the new faith must be rooted inreason and able to solve the riddle of life and death in amanner that will satisfy both the mind and the religiousinstinct.” As we have in the past evolved five senses bymeans of which we contact the present visible world, soshall we in the far distant future evolve another sensewhich will enable us to see the denizens of the EthericRegion, including those of our dear ones who have left thephysical body and inhabit the ether and lower DesireWorld during the first stage of their career in the spiritualrealms.

H. P. Blavatsky The Key to Theosophy

Religion

This masterwork by H. P. Blavatsky traces the broad outlines of the Wisdom Religion, and explains its fundamental principles; meeting, at the same time, the various objections raised by the average Western inquirer, and endeavoring to present unfamiliar concepts in a form as simple and in language as clear as possible. That it should succeed in making Theosophy intelligible without mental effort on the part of the reader, would be too much to expect; but it is hoped that the obscurity still left is of the thought and not of the language, is due to depth and not to confusion. To the mentally lazy or obtuse, Theosophy must remain a riddle; for in the world mental as in the world spiritual each man must progress by his own efforts. The writer cannot do the reader's thinking for him, nor would the latter be any the better off if such vicarious thought were possible. [mehr]

The Yogi Philosophy may be divided into several great branches, or fields. What is known as “Hatha Yoga“ deals with the physical body and its control; its welfare; its health; its preservation; its laws, etc. What is known as “Raja Yoga” deals with the Mind; its control; its development; its unfoldment, etc. What is known as “Bhakti Yoga” deals with the Love of the Absolute. What is known as “Gnani Yoga” (The yoga of wisdom) deals with the scientific and intellectual knowing of the great questions regarding Life and what lies back of Life − the Riddle of the Universe. Each branch of Yoga is but a path leading toward the one end − unfoldment, development, and growth. [mehr]

Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (German: [ˈhɛkəl]; February 16, 1834 – August 9, 1919[1]) was a German biologist, naturalist, philosopher, physician, professor, and artist who discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms, and coined many terms in biology, including anthropogeny, ecology, phylum, phylogeny, stem cell, and the kingdom Protista. Haeckel promoted and popularized Charles Darwin's work in Germany and developed the controversial recapitulation theory ("ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny") claiming that an individual organism's biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarizes its species' evolutionary development, or phylogeny. The published artwork of Haeckel includes over 100 detailed, multi-colour illustrations of animals and sea creatures (see: Kunstformen der Natur, "Art Forms of Nature"). As a philosopher, Ernst Haeckel wrote Die Welträtsel (1895–1899, in English, The Riddle of the Universe, 1901), the genesis for the term "world riddle" (Welträtsel); and Freedom in Science and Teaching[2] to support teaching evolution Thomas Henry Huxley PC FRS FLS (/ˈhʌksli/; 4 May 1825 – 29 June 1895) was an English biologist (comparative anatomist), known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.[1] Huxley's famous debate in 1860 with Samuel Wilberforce was a key moment in the wider acceptance of evolution and in his own career. Huxley had been planning to leave Oxford on the previous day, but, after an encounter with Robert Chambers, the author of Vestiges, he changed his mind and decided to join the debate. Wilberforce was coached by Richard Owen, against whom Huxley also debated about whether humans were closely related to apes. Huxley was slow to accept some of Darwin's ideas, such as gradualism, and was undecided about natural selection, but despite this he was wholehearted in his public support of Darwin. Instrumental in developing scientific education in Britain, he fought against the more extreme versions of religious tradition. [mehr]

Running throughout nearly all of the teachings and messages of Jesus, is to be found the constant Mystic Message regarding the existence of the Spirit within the soul of each individual—that Something Within to which all can turn in time of pain and trouble—that Guide and Monitor which stands ever ready to counsel, advise and direct if one opens himself to the Voice. "Seek ye first the Kingdom, and all things shall be added unto you." And, again, as if to explain: "The Kingdom of Heaven is within you." This is the Mystic Message which gives one a key to the Mysteries of the Inner Teachings. There is but one real Occult Philosophy, and we find it in evidence everywhere—once the Truth is grasped, it is found to be the Master Key with which to unlock the various doors leading to the esoteric phase of any and all religions or philosophies. The Yogi Fathers, centuries and centuries ago, solved the Riddle of the Universe, and the highest efforts of the human mind since that time have but corroborated, proven and exemplified the original Truth as voiced by these Venerable Sages. Let us read the words of Jesus in the light of this Ancient Wisdom. [mehr]

The mystery of one's own existence is forced upon you. It is surely possible to negate it. However, that does not help to solve it. This work of abstract literature unfolds not only the riddle of being a lush metaphor as a non-linear narrative in which the audience at the end of a chapter can select the sequel. As an equivalent of a labyrinth it may also stand for the maze of life itself. The task is to decide between many alternatives, often only pseudo alternatives, without too much to understand or to persist in order to fully indulge in the aesthetic enjoyment. The end, however, is set as a dead end. But there are many ways, detours and errors that can cause a lot of fun. Furthermore, the work invites to meditation, contemplation, reflection on literature itself, abstraction as such. Where does the need to understand and interpret everything come from? What does literature mean to us, reading or receiving it? The extensive fantastic narrative of abstract literature in each chapter is supplemented with an abstract graphic. Abstract text and abstract graphics complement each other in a synthesis of word and image to form a coherent complete work of the abstract.
