The Art of Being Human – The liberated society begins within us
Overcoming the illusion of matter and spirit through an integrative, non-dual physics of existence
Frank Geipel 20.05.2025
Available in English in a few months.
»The most radical reality is not what you think. It is what you are. «
What if all our problems — from personal conflicts to global crises — are based on a single, fundamental error: the illusion of being a separate self in a world of separate things? Frank Geipel dissects the ego as the originator of our inner and outer wars — and shows a way to transcend it without falling into the trap of “I am now ego-free!” Between neuroplasticity and Zen, quantum entanglement and the crisis of humanity, he weaves a scientifically grounded web of insights that profoundly shakes our self-image and heals it at the same time. At its core is Immanent Holo-Fluism (IHF) – the description of a reality that is not a static being, but a flowing process of becoming: as an indivisible whole in which everything is connected to everything else. Socially relevant, with concrete practical tools for everyday life and politics, this book becomes a compass through the crises of our time. It is an invitation to experience the world and your place in it in a completely new way—and to discover a new, profound quality of freedom.
428 pages with over 50 pages of artistic, colorful illustrations of the incomprehensible. Soon also available as a high-quality hardcover edition on photo paper.
»The most radical reality is not what you think.
It is what you are.«
What if all our problems — from personal conflicts to global crises — could be traced back to a single, fundamental error, namely that we are separate beings in a world of separate things? The
author radically questions this illusion and develops a new, consistent worldview: immanent holo-fluism. It is the description of a reality that is not a static being, but a dynamic, flowing
process of becoming — as an indivisible whole in which everything is connected to everything else. An invitation to experience the world and your place in it in a completely new way.
»The silent revolution begins in the mind.«
Frank Geipel dissects the ego as the originator of our inner and outer wars and finds in its ruins the ability to transcend it. Between neuroplasticity and Zen, between quantum entanglement and
the crisis of humanity, the author weaves a comprehensive web of insights that challenges our self-image as a species and leads to an expanded philosophical understanding. Scientifically sound,
socially relevant, with practical tools for everyday life and politics — a compass through the crises of our time. See through the »ego trap« without falling into the counter-trap of »I am now ego-free!« and
discover a new quality of inner freedom.
About the author:
Dr. Frank Geipel, born in 1959, is a practice-oriented scientist who is passionate about researching the fundamental principles of our world. His career has been marked by his ability to switch
effortlessly between the big picture and the finer details. In applied biotechnology, he spent years modeling and developing innovative processes for complex microbiological systems using
unconventional methods.
His irrepressible curiosity as a creative free spirit led him via music to indigenous cultures, where he discovered the fascinating sounds of the Yidaki of the Yolngu in northern Australia.
Inspired by this, he developed practical mathematical and physical models to create extraordinary instruments for musicians using artificial evolutionary algorithms.
His direct, immediate experiences in the tropical rainforests of the world, in contrast to sometimes »alienating” experiences in our superficial »performance
society«, motivated him to write this book out of gratitude and humility: »The Art of Being Human - The Liberated Society Begins Within Us«.
