Our mind has the ability to ask the question, why all this? What is the meaning or purpose of my existence on this earth? What of the existence of other people and creatures? What of the existence of the earth and the entirety of the cosmos whose expanse remains unfathomable? The human mind may be able to ask this question, but paradoxically is not able to find an answer to it. We can conceive of any number of more or less probable scenarios as an explanation for what caused the world to exist.
The book shows that, on the rational plane, there can be no proof that a given concept is the answer. The answer can only be found on the basis of individual experience.
In Part I of the book a possible explanation for the meaning of it all is derived, one that does not rely on any unproved hypotheses, ideologies or teachings. It is based on the fact that after hundreds of millions of years of the evolution of life on earth, human beings have emerged and been given the capacity for love – to experience and live love.
Love, understood not as a momentary idealisation connected to powerful emotions but as the deep awareness of being accepted and as an attitude of compassion and acceptance of all people and beings. Men and women who have experienced this love have experienced the ultimate purpose of human existence.
But also for many without this personal experience, love is one of the greatest goods they know of. It is perceived – from the psychological, philosophical as well as spiritual perspective – as one of the highest, if not the highest, values we know of.
Part II, the main section of the book, describes object-free meditation: a personal path leading to experiencing the deep meaning of life.
By describing object-free meditation from four different perspectives, the book shows that this path is independent of religious or spiritual beliefs, but by all means compatible with them as seen through its long tradition within different religions.
It is a path leading inward, to our actual selves as human beings – contained in love. Every human being holds a place within ourselves where love can be experienced as the ultimate foundation. Depending on teaching, religion or tradition, this place has been given different names. Lao Tzu terms it Wuji-nature – which is attained by means of tai chi as a spiritual path – Buddhism denominates it Buddha-nature, Christianity calls it Christ, who is born and lives within ourselves.
Different religions describe differing ways – rituals, tenets and rules of life or physical exercises – to the experience of this fundamental element. Object-free or non-object meditation is one of the oldest and most direct ways.
Part III deals with the decisive final and never-ending part of the path: integrating spiritual values into everyday life.
The text differs from other books with a similar theme in that the author has adopted a visibly open-minded attitude. The book is free from ties to a specific spiritual or religious teaching and does not impose a new ideology on the reader. It is also free from the constricting modern belief in the exclusive primacy of reason and logical thinking in approaching questions about the meaning of existence of human beings. It is founded not on dogmas and traditional assumptions but on experience. What counts is what I myself perceive and experience without and within myself. I employ my reason and my intellect but am at the same time aware of their limits.
The book is written in a universally accessible language and describes complex concepts in clearly understandable manner. The author incorporates the present knowledge of religious teachings, psychology, philosophy and astrophysics without using overly technical language.

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
