Our current everyday worldview is based on rationality and scientific empiricism. Concepts such as „consciousness“ or „subjectivity“ are excluded from scientific thought. Natural sciences are characterized by a rigorous anti-metaphysical attitude.
Modern conceptions of matter, however, contain features that lack any counterpart in classical physics: Nobel laureate Roger Penrose and colleagues are convinced that the physical world arises in the wake of emergence from a Platonic world of ideas or mathematics. These considerations reach into the vicinity of metaphysics.
The universe can thus be understood as a universal self-organizing process that generates semantic information. In this context the question of meaning is raised.
Matter loses on its fundamental levels the characteristics of the material, spatiotemporally fixed; the mathematical, spiritual emerges. Reality derives from the spiritual, matter emerges from spirit. Religions and spiritual traditions speak of a divine.

Dr. Michael Imhof is a German surgeon with more than 100 scientific publications, a painter and thinker who explores the intersections of science and philosophy. On his website "Transhuman Art," he presents a variety of creative projects that merge art, scientific inquiry, and transcendent themes. Imhof is particularly recognized for his books *Nachtwanderungen – Pilger¬reise zwischen Wissenschaft und Gott* (*Night Walks – A Pilgrimage Between Science and God*) and „Wer schrieb den Kosmischen Code?“ („Who wrote the cosmic code?“), which takes readers on a metaphorical journey in search of life's deeper meaning. The narrative follows a nameless monk who encounters various archetypes representing contemporary challenges and perspectives, including scientists who equate themselves with deities, individuals lost in addiction, and those grappling with existential despair. Through these encounters, Imhof illuminates timeless philosophical and spiritual dilemmas.
Imhof’s work is distinguished by its effort to bridge traditional spiritual insights with modern existential questions. His writings and projects aim to inspire reflection on the human condition, offering new ways of contemplating life's ultimate purpose and meaning. Alongside his literary endeavors, his artistic contributions explore themes of transhumanism and humanity’s evolving relationship with technology and transcendence, creating a platform for dialogue at the intersection of culture and innovation.
