How does a gardener love a rose?
Isn't its beauty rooted in his heart?
A rose means nothing to a rat.
What do we discover then in our love, 
but ourselves? 

When the 'fire' of love goes out in the world,
a new 'Ice Age' begins.
The challenge is to re-light the fire, and this in record time,
before the real Ice Age returns and overtakes us. 

How can one grow roses in a frozen land?
Does one 'melt' the world to do it?
Or is the task simpler,
like melting the ice in the heart? 

When the fire of war seems like peace,
how can we reach for the fire of love that is peace?

preliminary edition 10/07

Amidst the snows of Moscow,
a single flower promises a new spring,
It uplifts the 'seascape' as it nourishes a daring love.
a love so rare that it seems impossible to trust. 

preliminary edition 10/07

A club of dreamers,
seeking flowers in a rut,
in the badlands where flowers cannot grow,
But there are butterflies - our aimless guides with coloured wings of science,
sentinels of sweeter lands. 

preliminary edition 10/07

As rain falls in a long- parched land,
many windows are flung open;
love flings aside barriers, transparent and fragile,
 of a glass that has no strength against love. 

preliminary edition

Do we live by water and bread, alone? 
We become a live in joy, sometimes with a daring to be true to ourselves,
we become a movement set in motion with an imperative of its own,
aiming to pull the world  up behind us, as love grows into life. 

preliminary edition 12/06

When the meadow becomes too 'small' to flourish its flowers ,
do we need to set it ablaze and start anew?
Or do we simply make it a richer place,
nourished with the Principle of Universal Love? 

preliminary edition

In times of a great drought that consumes the world, we need rain.
In the human world we need love;
we need to loosen the seals that have held back its flow?
But can we develop the science for it,
even the science for enriching the parched landscape of sex?

preliminary edition

People say forest fires are natural,
but human fires are not - fires in ice!
Can we heal both scenes?
What should be impossible with the Principle of Universal Love? 

preliminary edition

When 'paradise' becomes the place to flee from,
where do we go?
There is a mountain in China, called Lodging,
a historic place for healing.

Other Novels by Rolf A. F. Witzsche

As the 'roof' of our world is disintegrating,
and its 'sheltering wings' fail that gave rise to civilization,
in order for us to live 
our 'roof' must be rebuilt,
 the 'famished affections' must be nourished as never before...
But can we meet that challenge? 

What are the limits of our humanity?
Are there any limits?
We face physical limits, perhaps - the distance of space, maybe.
but are there limits to the mind, to love? 

In the night of the terror by nuclear bombs,
we can only dream of the sun.
But our love, the sunshine of the human heart, remains,
and so we discover ourselves as being surrounded by our own light,
that is brighter than the sun.

 Discovering Infinity

A series of 12 books of

Each volume of the series pertains to a unique level of thinking. This classification was put on the table by Dante Alighieri in the 14th Century with his three part epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Dante takes us through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise in three successive steps. This corresponds to Volumes 1-3.  However, Dante takes two persons through these stages, a pilgrim and his guide. Volumes 4-6 represent the journey from the standpoint of the guide.  (More about the series)

All science books are available FREE as e-books

The pilgrim on his quest seeks enlightenment,
His path traverses Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, mapped out by Dante.
But who will guide the seeker? Will it be Science?
Our roots are in universal history, but our future will be Science. 

When the 'giant' becomes an empty shell,
the inevitable happens.
But the hell inside this shell can be a place for discovery,
In time we'll find an exit from this hell of horrors, 
even while the light is still dim. 

When Saturn is devouring one of his sons
he does so not with 'greed' to nourish him
but out of fear.
The giant cowers in fear, fearing the poet, and reacts in rage. 

Does healing the soul equate to healing the body?
Is there a God, Christ, and divine Spirit,
and a divine Principle of scientific mental healing?
What healed mankind in distant ages?
Was the medicine Mind?

When the future determines the present with love,
we discover the heart of our humanity.
Thus we discover the emptiness of the 'fire' that would destroy it.
We also discover a brighter 'fire,'
a flame that glows with the light of universal love? 

Unknown to the world, Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, created a scientific monument in the form of a vast pedagogical structure for discovery and scientific and spiritual development. All of her major works come to light as but parts of this single structure.  She poured ten major constituent structures into one, single, seamless pedagogical structure. The book presents an exhaustive exploration of it.

Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, was first published in 1875. It documents her understanding of what she termed, "the final revelation of the divine Principle of scientific mental healing." Since it is a part of her pedagogical structure, a special edition has been prepared that incorporates that linkage.

A collection of 26 Bible lessons is presented in this book, each fully printed, one per week to cover half a year. The biblical texts are interspersed with corresponding elements from Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. The historic lessons from 1898 are uniquely edited with an extensive scientific overview that links them to Mary Baker Eddy's pedagogical structure.

The science of love to heal the world of fascism and society of its smallness in thinking, based on advanced concepts by Mary Baker Eddy

Is evil a power
or a negation without power?
Is darkness substantial,
or is there substance only in light,
against which darkness cannot stand?

Our bread comes not from the sky,
nor does it come from the Earth.
It is the product of the human mind,
drawn from the discovery and application of universal principles,
our infinite dimension.

"Woman is the highest term for man."
Mary Baker Eddy, (1884)

Is our goal victory,
or to raise the standard of achievement?
