My Wife and Books

In 1903, I married Emma Rauschenbach, my lovely wife. She was from a wealthy family in Switzerland, and we had five  beautiful children together. She died in 1955 (and it really wasn’t from being married to me!), but I continued to publish books for as long as I could. I even wrote and published a book about UFOs, unidentified Flying Objects, which have been rumored to be “aliens”.

I also analyzed, in the book, the meaning and possible psychological significance of the reported “observations” of UFOs. From my analysis of myself and my patients: I know that life has a spiritual purpose, despite our body’s wants, and it goes beyond all materialistic goals. We are to discover and fulfill our innate potential. I studied many religions and this is at the center of all religions! The aim is to meet yourself and the “Divine”. This is where I differed from my old-friend-turned-enemy, Sigmund Freud.

I know spiritual experience was essential to the well-being of the body. How can this be wrong? There is religion to prove it—many people have relied on religion through the years! That infuriating man Freud! He should just admit that I am right and we should rebuild our old friendship. But I digress. Recently, I’ve started to have short dizzy spells and I’ve also noticed my eyesight is getting worse. Perhaps I am to finally meet my “true self” and the “Divine.” Then, that will prove that old Freud wrong! I really do wonder who does have the most popular opinion, though.

My beautiful wife, Emma. RIP.
