Jai KumarGeorg Sieberer alias Jaya Kumar. Born in 1940. At the age of 22 broke off his studies at the University of Vienna to go to India, in quest of a `higher truth`. There, under the name Jai Kumar, he became an ascetic monk and follower of devotional Vaisnavism, the religion of the world sustaining god, Vishnu. Taking his devotional practices as a stepping stone to primarily aspire for knowledge of transpersonal divinity. Upon the death of his guide, he was compelled to return to Europe after 12 years. Jay published, in German, the book Du bist der Einzige Ausweg (= You are the only Way Out), which reflected his personal experiences as a devotee. From then on he was almost exclusively engaged in philosophical reasoning about the roots of our personal being and, in sequence, on the background of physical reality as understood by science. Throughout these post-Indian years, I have had practically no contact with persons who would have followed not to say shared my observations. To sustain myself I found jobs, which left me sufficient time to think and to write down my findings. The recently published German book Der Weltgedanke is my first attempt to make a part of this accessible to others, the here presented similarly titled manuscript is my own translation of the German book into English with some modifications and additions. Though I have approached my topics in a popularly accessible form, I wonder if the book will find more than precursory readers: Aside from the demerits of my presentation, worldly reality is too hardboiled to easily reveal the taste of its inside yoke.
