Activities
Here you can find brief explanations on the contributions to the various projects.

Archetype
The archetype is the basis of the singularity. In other words: it is the wave which the "ship" (the individual) "rides". The archetype is the "first" appearing from the infinite (collective) - in the form of differentiation - and therefore the first distinguishable element. It is the foundation in the material dimension on which the individuality - the self - is based and from where it emerges.

Cf. Ken Wilber, 2002 in a talk with Johann Munzer (www.vidya.ch/Wilber.htm, in German):
If you take the great spiritual authors, that is Plato or Plotin, you will see that when they write about archetypes, they talk about the way of involution - when Purusha (spirit) reveals itself in Prakriti (manifestation). The first step in the manifest world is SPIRIT, then soul, spirit, body, matter - in this order. This is the Great Chain of Being.
Thus, the first things that are created in involution are the archetypes. They are the most subtle of all possible forms, divine forms on which everything else is based or from which everything emerges. Therefore, the archetypes are on the causal level even at the very beginning.

As-is analysis
It is a sort of map as a reflection or mirror image of two inter-related — interacting — systems, e.g. people and their hometown, a community/town and its surroundings, a company and its location, a managing director and his/her company etc.. This way of observing leads to self-knowledge, from which certain measures may be derived. It can also reveal developmental possibilities through the introduction of additional perspectives. An as-is analysis is therefore like a thermometer, which merely displays the temperature. It is the observer himself who interprets what is being displayed.

Celestial mechanics
A conscious connection with the celestial bodies, taking into account the site-specific qualities. A "cross", i.e. a fixed point on the earth, serves as point of reference. Parallel to that, the course of the luminaries emerges. It is the cosmic motion through space in expression of the quality of time, which the celestial body employs to formulate the specific information. This leads to "cosmic interweaving" at a certain time at a certain place in space. This interwovenness with cosmos, or rather with the cosmic elements, is reflected, among other things, in geometry.

Consciousness physics
It is described as a branch of modern physics, which deals with the scientific description of the nature of consciousness and of reality. It attempts to gain its insights through systematic research and verify them through empirical experiments.

Consultant
Norbert Adam sees himself as a neutral, empty observer, who reflects the situation that reveals itself to him. He acts as mediator between polarities that he sees as mutually conditioning.

In his work he draws on spiritual knowledge from different cultures including the Kabbala, the Tarot, the I Ching, Tzolkin (Maya), astrology, astronomy, numerology, mythology, archetypes, psychology, alchemy, Global Scaling, as well as Chinese (Feng Shui) and European geomantics.

Consultation
In his capacity as neutral, or empty observer, Norbert Adam thinks comprehensively, thus maintaining the focus and the view of the greater commonality. This causes a permanent transformation of any emerging resistance (from without or from within) by gaining new perspectives, things stay in flux.

Geomancy/geomantics
The term geomancy, and therefore the profession of geomancer, has undergone a significant change of meaning and consciousness in the past 20 years. Nowadays, geomancer usually describes someone whose aim it is to harmonise human actions and construction activities with visible and invisible dimensions.

Geomancy is an oracle technique that used to be practised in various cultures and is still, in some places, practised today. It can be understood as a reading of the matrix of life through introspection, in order to gain access to information, in combination with intuitive insight, that human beings are generally refused.
Various modern encyclopaedias give the following definitions:
Geomancy (Greek, "divination through the earth "), the professed art of divination using marks on the earth, especially dots drawn into the sand without purpose, which are interpreted as special figures, especially developed in Arabia. A geomancer is thus someone who practises this skill. Compare punctuation and divination.
Mantic (mancy), in ancient Greece the art of divination generally; in current usage, the unveiling of the future by artificial means, in contrast to divination through introspection (prophecy) and divine inspiration. One of the artificial means is the study of natural phenomena (see also geomancy, astrology, hippomancy, hydromancy, pyromancy etc.). These methods, which are more closely related to magic and are not aimed at a voluntary revelation of higher beings (divination), but rather a forceful uncovering of fate, are based on the world view of the ancient Babylonians. They believed that the world is not governed arbitrarily by a deity, but rather follows a predetermined and unalterable path that is subject to strict underlying principles. All things were supposed to be in direct harmony and interaction with each other and in particular with human beings. By by-passing the deity, they thus hoped to gain insight into the fate of the world and of mankind directly from the state and change of nature. Most of the mantic methods passed on from antiquity to modern times were already fully developed in ancient Chaldea.

Geomantic concept
It is the making visible of the identity concept, the formulation on a larger scale, the projection into space, or the representation of the whole. It has thus become comprehensible and visible as one (a coherent whole).

Identity concept
All gathered information and images are combined to make a whole. The result is an overall picture, an identity, as a manifestation of the many possibilities. Thus, the identity concept represents the idea or the impulse.

Implementing elements
Building on the concept of geomancy, these are sensitive or discreet suggestions in manifold designs for interpretation at a material level.

Integration/integrative
(from: Latin integer, Greek entagros = untouched, unscathed, whole)
rebuilding a whole; rebuilding a unity from different parts; completion; integration into a larger whole. The state it is in once it has been integrated.

Meta-polarity
It is the conscious "ladling" of the spirit, from a superordinate perspective, from unity into polarity. Represented by numbers: From the zero (the infinite, Wu Chi) via the one (unity, Tao) into the two (polarity, Yin&Yang). The sum of possibilities is thus maintained, and there is also no exclusion or the limitation inevitably linked to it within the polar world. This gives rise to balance, centredness, stability and harmony, and at the same time a spiritual connection to the origin (the infinite).

Cf. Volker Ritters, "Raum & Zeit Special Nr. 8 – Verborgene Geometrien, p.52":
The place "beauty" (meta-polarity) is assigned to the master. Its mission is to overcome the polarities in creation. It is to overcome these polarities in order to prepare with its eternal core for the union with God.

Natural oscillation/Singularity
Processes of natural oscillation cannot be suppressed and thus occupy an important position in the universe. Natural oscillations take place at the lowest energy level (i.e. greatest efficiency), while forced oscillations do not. If one knows the natural oscillations, one also recognises the superimposed oscillations.
The gaugeable movements of the earth, the sun and the luminaries give rise to numbers, measurements and their idiosyncrasies in relation to the infinite. This creates an opportunity to discover or reveal that which is concealed/occult – the individuality/singularity (the characteristic nature). This unique quality is the seed, the core, the identity that represents the centre of an organism. It represents the natural oscillation - the self - the singularity.

Radiesthesia
Radiesthesia, which is popularly known by the term dowsing, has always been of great significance in traditional mining and in the search for water. It may be described as the historical predecessor of today’s biocybernetics, which is the study of the regulation and influencing of biological systems through energy radiation of materials, shapes or the underground in the biologically active micrometre and decimetre wave range. Modern physical radiesthesia, which originated in aerial physics, now offers precise measurement and analysis methods. In today’s world, various oscillations act upon the human being as an organism. Today, radiesthesia is again considered a basic method in the construction industry and is often used in preventive health care and in clarifying natural phenomena in the area of geomancy.

Tao
Taoism, which was founded by Lao-Tzu (7th century BC), sees the world in its original state as a harmonious balance between the two elements (forces) yin & yang. It was one of the major religions in China alongside Confucianism and Buddhism. According to Taoism, the world emerged from an original unity (from one to the ten thousand things). This original unity is the Tao (Chin.: the absolute — the way — the word — God). Taoists strive to bring their life into harmony with the universe, with nature and eventually to become one with the Tao in consciousness. Lao-Tzu is also the author of the famous book "TAO TE - CHING", which today serves as inspiration for many people.

Thermodynamics, laws of (excerpt)
First: Energy can neither be lost nor gained. Energy cannot be destroyed. It can therefore be concluded that there are no energy users and no energy sources in the universe, only converters or transformers.
Second: There is no machine that can convert heat into another form of energy completely. Entropy cannot be destroyed. There is high-quality and low-quality energy. High-quality energy can do work, low-quality energy cannot. Entropy can be seen as a measure of chaos.

Time quality & Navigation
By recording all information and possibilities (alpha to omega), over a predefined period (e.g. one year) exact points in time for the most efficient connection to the spiritual qualities will transpire, taking into account the present archetype and the specific singularity of the organism. In this way, the spiritual realm is of the greatest assistance to the material.

Transformation/Neutralization
By changing perspectives, a change occurs from the minor (lower) to the higher order (noble). This is associated with a focus on the common greater of the mutually conditioning polarities. It must be noted that a transformation occurs in human beings automatically as soon as attention is directed toward those elements that were previously hidden.

As C. G. Jung puts it:
"To confront a person with their shadow is also to show them their own light. Someone who perceives their shadow and their light simultaneously sees themselves from two sides and thus gets in the middle [...] He or she knows that darkness and light make up the world. A person can only dominate this opposition through contemplation of them both when he or she frees himself from them by looking at both of them, and thus getting in the middle. Only there is he or she no longer subject to these opposites." (German version in Jacobi 1971, p. 142)

Yin & yang
This is an interaction (one could say a mutual relationship) of two elements. Such mutual relationships can be found in all processes of oscillation (e.g.: kinetic and potential energy, voltage and current, pressure and flow velocity). This in turn means that every process of oscillation has two opposing properties, i.e. when one value reaches a maximum, the other value reaches a minimum and vice versa. Thus these two complementary values create two spectra, which, although they have to be the same, are out-of-phase by 90° in their graphic representation (which is familiar to us from sine and cosine).
