Count Hermann Keyserling once said
truly that the greatest American superstition was belief in facts.
or so says John Gunther
Who is Keyserling?
Count Hermann Alexander Keyserling:
Philosopher, Author, Public Speaker.
Founder of the School of Wisdom in 1920.
Born July 20, 1880 in Raykull, Estonia.
Died April 26, 1946 in Salzburg, Austria.
Count Hermann Keyserling is the founder of the School of Wisdom in modern times. Count Keyserling is the first Western thinker to conceive and promote a planetary culture, beyond nationalism and cultural ethnocentrism, based on recognition of the equal value and validity of non-western cultures and philosophies. He founded the School of Wisdom in Darmstadt, Germany in 1920 based on the original Schools of Wisdom which prospered over two thousand years ago in Northern India under Buddhist rule. Unlike other spiritual leaders of the day, he did not set himself up as a guru, or establish any kind of personality cult. Instead he encouraged the equal participation of many others, including his friends, Carl Jung, Richard Wilhelm, Rabindranath Tagore, and Hermann Hesse. Hermann Keyserling was a heriditary Count from the Baltic country of Estonia. His families position and estate in Estonia went back centuries, to the early days when Estonia first became a province of Germany. One of his ancestors is the Count Keyserling who commissioned Bach to create the Brandenberg concertos.
The school is designed to facilitate individual understanding of the "meaning of life". The approach is Holistic and Multi-Cultural. The non-denominational teachings of the school synthesize and include all the great religions and spiritual cultures of the Earth, and the latest insights of psychology, music, math and science. The school's goal is not more knowledge, but a transformation of being -- the attainment of Wisdom by personal realization of your place in the Infinite, and your role on Earth.
