       AUTHOR

      Renke Liebig (German 1986). He has written for some years a diary to write down his personal story. Thus many short articles were created, which he presents in his first book TATA‘S DISCOVERIES. He speaks German, English, and Spanish. He has used his language skills to write the book in these three languages. He studied in Germany, in the Netherlands, and in Chile. Formally he was enrolled in the faculty of business studies, but life had other plans. A deep aspiration for something different kept him from his studies, but not from writing. He loves to hike. He has made three long journeys on the Camino de Santiago in Spain (Camino Francés, Via de la Plata, Camino del Norte). From there comes his maxim for life, which he wishes for everyone with enthusiasm: ¡Buen Camino!

       PROLOG

      It was a hot day in summer. I have finally made the way. The Camino de Santiago in Spain. I walked many kilometres by foot. I have listened to a pilgrim´s mass for the completion of the way. There it was said, that the way is not over here at all. The way begins really now. I heard the words, but I did not understand them. Only later the topics were clearer to me. I always wanted to write a book. But I did not know about what. So I decided simply to write every day a little bit. At first I was writing a Blog on the internet. It was exciting to see, how more and more articles were created. I did not want just to blog. Now I wanted to write a book. So I have put the articles, which I have written, into a story. The book is called TATA‘S DISCOVERIES. It is about Tata, who is at first a doctor and supports humans. Then he becomes a patient himself and humans support him. At the end Tata is neither doctor nor patient anymore, but simply a human being, who experiences life.

       INTRODUCTION

      Tata is dreaming a little bit. He rest in his self. It is still. Thoughts are forming itself into words. He laughs. A laughing which is not from this world. The cosmic laughing. It pulls him into a peculiar moment, the quantum moment. It is still again. A timeless thought strives into his perception. Questions appear. Who am I? What is time? What is ego? These questions blow the rational mind of Tata. He awakes from his dream.

      I am asking myself: Am I crazy? Am I enlightened? Am I crazy and enlightened? I move into the beingjoy, into the lifejoy. I cope with an identity crisis. I am going through diseases en masse. I arrive at the Tata-Realization of Being, Thinking, and Doing.

      A pilgrim appears barefoot before my inner eye. The first chapter shows humans, which I have met during my journey in Spain. Words are forming itself in my thoughts to an attitude:

      Give, what you have. Thus you receive, what you need.

      1. HIKING

      May I present myself briefly? I am Tata, the boss of the university of universe. My special field is the experience of consciousness. Many humans appear in this field in my perception. Thus I created a space, where I get in contact with them. If necessary, I give advices to the humans. They are looking for support, however often I don‘t give them, what they are wishing for initially. I give them, what they need from my point of view. Articles are created with each human and visitor, which are written for them and with them.

      A tall woman enters the room with a big backpack on her back. She presents herself as pilgrim. She has many questions about the ways of this world. She wants to know more about the insights, which I have collected on my journeys.

      I remain silent for a long time. Afterwards I hand over an article with the name CAMINO DE SANTIAGO. It is a summary about the adventure and key moments, which I have experienced on the ways.

      Here is the article CAMINO DE SANTIAGO.

      1.1 CAMINO DE SANTIAGO

      TATA

      I am interested today about the current development of the numbers of pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. Pilgrims are humans, who travel the last 100 km by foot or the last 200 km by bicycle towards Santiago de Compostela.

      The Camino de Santiago is popular. But why is that so? I was walking the Camino de Santiago by myself, the Camino Francés and the Via de la Plata. At first I have seen the sporty challenge as my reason. Religious reasons play also an important role for pilgrims to connect stronger with God. The landscapes in Spain are fascinating. Above all the Spaniards give a new definition to the word temperament. The fellow pilgrims are talkative and are always open for discussions. One should not underestimate the spiritual dimension of these ways. Humans want to go more slowly through life. Uncountables are in a hurry and under permanent stress in everyday life. The reasons are complex, at least for the mind. Health, family, work, or money. They want to break out of the hamster wheel of endless consumption and live their life. Simply live, not so complicated.

      I recognized that I was walking with higher attention on the way every day. This was leading me into deep meditation. So I have connected myself with the environment. The separation of inner and outer dissolves. You become one with the surroundings. You are working on a lot of past memories; the mental suffering becomes diminished with every step. The way gives you the energy to work on the problems. One becomes more present. The way gives everyone ideas for new projects. Nevertheless you are bound to the now. One plans his day, his route, his equipment, his refuge of destination. Problems will be tackled and thus dissolved. One recognizes himself in the humans, whom are on the way. Through the infinite conversations with the fellow pilgrims one knows himself again.

      The ego, the past, and the future have no power. The now becomes more and more present. Only this one step counts. A high concentration is needed, to make this one step. The rest is repetition.

      The Camino de Santiago gives us diverse, creative impulses. Inspirations, which are missing in everyday life.

      I noticed on the journeys that I didn’t speak neither English nor Spanish. This experience has awaken the ambition to study intensively both languages. Stories shape this experience. I moved like lightning in the rat race. I was asking myself all questions of the world. I did not realize that my ego found always new ways. I was looking for the solution within my thoughts, but I never watched at my thoughts. I didn’t discover neither the deep consciousness, nor the time, nor the ego.

      The ways of the earth have a different meaning to everyone. I got energy through the way, physically and mentally. I remind me of the way in difficult times and its positive energy.

      The pilgrimage took hours, days and weeks. Every day was like a new life. New encounters, new landscapes. I have welcomed old fellow-traveller with special joy. Thus is created a feeling of belonging, of togetherness. It is like a big family. Blissful!
