Erst durch das Christentum entstand im Frühen Mittelalter aus einer Reihe heterogener Stämme eine Einheit und somit die Grundlage für den Kulturraum Europa. Häufig floss bei Missionsversuchen Blut, denn die Missionare wollten ja die heidnische Kultur zugunsten einer christlichen überwinden. Letztlich aber war der Siegeszug des christlichen Glaubens unaufhaltsam. An seinem Endpunkt stand ein Europa, das durch die lateinische Sprache, durch Liturgie, Kirchenbaukunst und Kultur bei allen Unterschieden zu einem einheitlichen Gesicht fand.

Säulen im Regierungsbezirk, Obeliske auf Theatern, Prachttreppen, Atlanten, Putti und korinthische Kapitelle - die Hauptstadt ist voll von antiken Bezügen, ästhetischen Diebstählen und häufig auch von einem epochalen und stilistischen Durcheinander. Vom Brandenburger Tor bis zu unscheinbaren Hinweisen - die Stadt an der Spree zeigt sich als Meisterin des Zitierens. Nur muss man in der Lage sein, diese "Zitate" auch zu lesen, zu verstehen und einzuordnen.

Das "Tao te king" ist ein unerschöpfliches und tiefgründiges Weisheitsbuch, das auch die Menschen außerhalb Asiens unmittelbar anzusprechen vermag. Als Verfasser dieses Werkes wird Laotse vermutet, die Textkritik geht von einer Entstehung des Textes etwa 400 vor Christus aus. Die Grundidee von Laotse besteht in der Vorstellung vom Kreislauf des Kosmos, die in der Beobachtung des Einzelnen liegt und erfahrbar wird. Basis ist die unauflösbare Einheit, deren Pole Yin (das Passive, das Dunkle, das Weibliche) und Yang (das Helle, das Aktive, das Männliche) sind.

Everybody dreams, but there are few who place any importance to the phenomena of sleep. Before we can begin to comprehend or even analyze dreams, whether our dreams are symbolic or otherwise, we must first divert from our mind our materialistic conceptions of what the individual called man really is. he external or physical man is no more the man than the coat he wears. The physical man is only an instrument of which the real inner man or soul expresses itself in the physical universe.
