Michael on a Journey – Querdenken Technologies for Everyday Life is the story of an interrupted world trip that becomes a profound journey of life.
From the prison cell to alpine meadows, from letters full of light to the courtroom in Stuttgart – it’s a story about inner strength, outer challenges, and the simple tools that help us stay in balance
A journey that continues. Step by step. Consciously. Freely. Truthfully.
In 2020, a world full of possibilities lies ahead of me. My sabbatical is planned, my backpack is ready, and my heart is open to new experiences. I want to set out – on a world trip, away from the familiar, toward what truly matters. But life redirects me – not away from the world, but right into the heart of it.
What began as a personal adventure transforms into a collective movement: the Querdenken movement emerges. What guides me is the desire for truth, self-responsibility, and a life in freedom. What started as wanderlust becomes a journey through Germany – with people who ask questions, build connections, and seek new paths.
My inner compass remains focused on health, wholesome nutrition, and meditation. These become all the more important as external circumstances intensify.
Silent Cell, Loud Messages
On June 29, 2022, my life changes once again: I am arrested. Nine months of pre-trial detention follow – without charges, without a verdict. In the silence of the cell, I feel: I’m on a journey here, too. And I’m not alone. Over 8,000 letters reach me. Many share their thoughts, their concerns, their hopes. And many invite me – into their lives, their regions, their projects.
When I’m released on April 4, 2023, and the regional court rejects the prosecutor’s charges, a new chapter begins. I’ve been stripped of all material possessions – my entire wealth and my companies have been confiscated. Yet inwardly, I am rich: in experience, in connection, in clarity.
I accept the invitations – traveling across Germany, three weeks in an Italian monastery, four weeks in Switzerland. I write, meet people, share thoughts, listen.
This is how my true world journey begins – not as a tourist, but as a learner.
Staying Clear Amid Change
Since October 2024, my court case has been ongoing at the Stuttgart Regional Court. Despite the previous decision not to allow the charges, the public prosecutor continues to try to enforce its allegations. For me, this trial is more than a legal dispute – it’s a mirror of our time. And another chapter of my journey.
To stay in balance, I don’t rely on external security. I use tools that strengthen me on my path:
– Pure water from a reverse osmosis system – a clear symbol of clarity and purification.
– High-frequency technology inspired by Nikola Tesla – a reminder that everything is vibration.
– Living food – nourishment that not only fills but truly nourishes.
– Meditation – daily inner stillness that centers me, clears my mind, and connects me with my inner guidance.
These simple, powerful tools help me stay grounded – in times of change, on the road, in the courtroom.
