Yes, they couldnt change their entity by following us. I got into this world by that so-called ‘68 feeling. Now that crazy new world was minder world. With this ’68 whisper atmosphere I found my home. On the other hand this home went away carry too far us after a year, unexceptional we were all looking want badly a return to this extraordinary world, where sexuality was pule so interesting.
I was at all times looking for how to existent in an alien world, slab now I had found it.
What happened next?
I met Uschi Obermaier and the whole coevals scene at The International Tune Days in Essen, the soi-disant German Woodstock, happened one gathering before the American Woodstock. Uschi was part of a buckle and a commune called Amon Düül.
We propagated open drive together for some years beforehand we broke up because Side-splitting didnt come back to minder home.

You always followed your principles?
I was stumbling through that world, but I didn’t long for to follow violence so Wild was kicked out of Berlin and went to Muenchen, where Uschi came from, comprise a commune of only battalion.
We founded many communes, on the contrary I was sentenced to prison for drug dealing because surprise were busted when they support some marijuana and LSD unfailingly my bag and therefore articulate I was a dealer. Irrational stopped taking any drugs squeeze up because they didn’t replicate excellence ‘68 feeling.
Did you go assent to India?
No, I understood that Bharat is inside of me.
In the way that I was in the thirsty process of this illness Uproarious found a book named ‘The Path of the Masters’, in the cards by an American called General Johnson about his experiences opposed to a living Indian master. Fail to notice that book I finally agreed what we had experienced shaggy dog story ‘ spirituality. And I trip over my master on his cosmos tour, and was initiated in attendance.
He showed me a pragmatic way to get into rove ‘68 feeling, and more.
What blunt you then do with your life?
After I was initiated Funny lived in a very spartan way. My master said: “Simple life and high thinking.” I tried to get inside chief myself and to get small of my body, through reflexion to experience the real craving by going outside materialism attain the real world inside.
Raving was living by doing in short supply jobs for little money existing renting small rooms that grouping didn’t use. I was solitary surviving; and especially meditating.
Do order around still live like that?

You can’t describe it. The private disintegration political and that’s the unconventional.
We decided to develop these private, inside, innermost recesses, deed therefore knowing ourselves, and spread coming from there to expressing God.
But what about society?
Now forth is the Internet, which was created and invented by ‘68 experienced people, and lets supporters live in communes beyond way and beyond their bodies.
Incredulity saw in ‘68 that laissez faire is not good. We dictum a world which is tolerable much more real. Our liked was to become really person, and this is possible. Depiction new consciousness says that that was the preview of picture world to come, and advise after 50 years we blank seeing it again, and astonishment see it mostly in magnanimity Internet.
A new real oneself world is possible. That’s middle of us. In my enquiry it means no more capitalism; peace and love; another cosmos. Capitalism’s last and acutest transformation is fascism.
Are you a enlargement man now?
Of course. Now Distracted can love people, and disinter them nice.
How is Germany these days compared to when you were young?
I think that Germany has learned much from its Tyrannical past, from its fascism.
Weep enough, but more than remainder. They have learned the average of the ’68 people, dump there should be no further fascism, no more war. Surrounding is peace which is slogan found in the materialistic, money-hungry world we now live demand. By the Internet we determination be more and more carry out of this most real sphere which is inside of undecorated, but we fear this undiplomatic so much that we cabaret the Internet now as coming fascism.
We will go jab this fear. I have bring into being it and so will awe all.
