Foreword
Note: This e-book contains thematically appropriate image files at the beginning of each chapter. To ensure you have a pleasant reading experience, I recommend reading the book only in portrait format!
There is hardly anything more moving than seeing the purity of a soul in someone else's eyes. So many people long to let go of all their masks and finally be free from the burden of what they believe others think of them. Interpersonal walls protect our tender hearts. Unfortunately, we pay a high price for this: we isolate ourselves.
Real connection through the eyes can be addictive. Many experience a real endorphin rush during such moments. But tears often flow as well. During large Eye Contact sessions, you often meet people who are so deeply touched in their hearts that tears roll down their cheeks. For me, such moments of healing are genuine highlights.
Of course, there are other experiences too. Your counterpart can become a projection screen. Be aware that what you see is not always the truth. Breaking down interpersonal walls marks the beginning of truly interesting work. Be brave! Freedom is not something that is given to you; it already resides within you. Only our own beliefs bind us. The wonderful thing is that exploring your inner self can be a fascinating journey.
Discovering how I function has always been a grand adventure for me. Yet, the process has its shadow sides. Once you understand how perception works and how the mind operates, you will no longer be easily manipulated. You’ll recognize attempts at manipulation immediately. And as you follow this path, you will recognize a great deal. Ultimately, truth is what we all long for. Lies have short legs, and anything built on them is not enduring.
With this book, I want to promote the popularity of Eye Contact because this form of partner meditation has incredible potential. The younger generation, in particular, can benefit greatly from it. But even those who are seriously pursuing spirituality will find a real gem in Eye Contact. I believe there are many ways to increase peace in the world. Is there a more pleasant way than simply meeting in silence?
All living beings strive toward the light. Freedom is our most precious treasure. Unfortunately, being free and unmanipulable is a bitter pill for some very influential people. They use their power to keep the masses in states of convenience, fear, stress, and illness. All of this tempts people to relinquish their self-determination and submit to control. Politics and media have always been dominated by such forces. If people all over the world committed themselves to honesty, truth, and mutual appreciation, the emperor would stand naked before us.
Heart-opening as a higher goal for all humanity could be very welcome, especially now when so much in the world seems out of place. The need is clear, as shown by the Eye Contact Experiment.
In this book, you will discover many things that are obvious yet have never been noticed or connected. This book is not meant just to be read but to be explored. Perception is one of the greatest miracles. May this book inspire your own explorations, and may you gain new insights each time you read it.
Warm regards,

The Eye Contact Experiment
In 2015, a small group of Australians called “The Liberators” launched an intriguing social experiment under the motto “Where has the human connection gone?” They invited people in public spaces to choose a partner from the crowd who was willing to take a truly courageous step: to engage in several minutes of uninterrupted eye contact with another person. The experiment was highly successful. Hundreds of people participated, and tears of deep emotion were shed. Subsequently, larger events of this kind took place in over 150 cities worldwide. Many participants expressed surprise at how easily they were able to approach others afterward. The press also took notice, with articles appearing in major newspapers and magazines such as Süddeutsche Zeitung, Focus, and Stern, and reports aired on television.
The lack of human connection is a particularly relevant issue in Western industrialized nations. Over the last few decades, our society has changed significantly. The increasing number of single households reflects the direction in which people’s inner lives have evolved. At the same time, we are more connected than ever before through smartphones and social media. Yet, there is often a lack of closeness, nourishing depth, and the certainty that people are truly there for one another. This is precisely the core of the matter: being genuinely available for others. Showing true presence when a friend shares something with you is an act of compassion. It works—though often unnoticed.
In many countries, the Eye Contact Experiment left a lasting impression on participants, creating a demand for regular events.
Eye Contact is much more than just an experiment. It is a profoundly transformative form of meditation that can lead to deep insights. This is the primary focus of this book. Gazing into another’s eyes has become firmly established within the spiritual community and is now offered in various forms in self-awareness workshops of all kinds. In this book, I present the original exercise format, which I know to be effective. It is closest to Zen. Eye Contact shares many elements with Zen. It revolves around pure presence and the wonder of allowing things to unfold without intention. Through regular and intensive sessions, profound processes may be initiated, which can deeply challenge individuals. Take care of yourself! If in doubt, join a group—ideally under experienced guidance—that can provide a supportive environment.
Encounter in silence; authentic and pure;
What is greater than recognizing the kindness
in the eyes of a stranger?
Experiments Provide Insights
Engaging in intense eye contact with others is uncharted territory for many. Experiments are designed to give you the opportunity to gain personal experience with something new.
