    • Revised the description of my strong interest in cycling:
      Before the Change After the Change

      I'm a member of the German non-profit organization ADFC that advocates for the interests of cyclists.

      Since my early teens I enjoy the cycling. I'm a member of the German non-profit organization ADFC that advocates for the interests of cyclists. In addition, the membership has the advantages as follows:

      Generally the local branches arrange cycling tours at the end of a certain work day and at the weekend. The cycling tours arranged by the local branch ADFC Darmstadt e.V. mostly starts on Wednesdays at 18:30 p.m. and on Sundays at 10:00 a.m. Everyone is warmely invited to participate in the tours: There is no need to be an ADFC member.

    • Revised the description of my interest in spirituality & mindfulness:
      Before the Change After the Change

      In the nineties of the last century I dealed with Hatha yoga and meditation.

      In my humble opinion, spirituality does not necessarily mean to be gentle to every person. Without opposition or provocation the evolution resp. the progress comes to rest. Spirituality is for me primarily to be keen to do a life of mindfulness.

      From 1989 to 1996 I had a strong interest in spiritual questions. So I read books about spirituality. I strongly recommend the reading of the book

      written by Jiddu Krishnamurti.

      The ratings on the German and English (UK) Amazon Web sites emphasize my recommendation once more. This book has deeply affected my thinking and acting.

      Moreover I practised Hatha yoga and meditation in the mentioned period. Hatha yoga teached me a new body consciousness. Results of the latest brain research prove the positive impact of meditation. Bear in mind that meditation can be a play with the fire, this is my own experience. I recommend to have a contact already gathered experience with meditation.

      As a consequence of my strong curiousity I was in constant touch with a spiritual community for some months at that time. But the spiritual leader required sexual abstinence: One of several reasons why I finished the contact again. Whereas Claudia took the decision completely to join this spiritual community. She liquidated her flat in Aachen and left her tableware to me. Still to this day two mugs remember me to her.

      Today spirituality is for me primarily to be keen to do a life of mindfulness. In my humble opinion, spirituality does not necessarily mean to be gentle to every person. Without opposition or provocation the evolution resp. the progress comes to rest.
