A series of 12 novels 

 "The Lodging for the Rose"

The series explores the Principle of Universal Love -- a most challenging proposition in a world where love is shunned, mankind is torn by divisions, society darkened by isolation, and the nations are threatened by war and economic insanity that put into question our very survival. But can the ancient seals be broken in our 'advancing' world world that have kept the book of the Principle of Universal Love tightly locked down for millennia, socially, politically, culturally, and economically?

The series unfolds in a fictional world in which the present paradigms are left miles behind, fading as mist of twisted history and stubborn dark ages of self-denial that were spent in the sewers serving empires.  

Free online access to the complete text of the novels has been provided by the author for all who cannot afford the printed books.

A more detailed introduction to the novels is provided on the website:

A living art garden 
of the invisible shapes that shape us
in the wide landscape of love

How does a gardener love a rose?
Isn't its beauty rooted in his heart?
A rose means nothing to a rat.
What do we discover then in our love, 
but ourselves?

Other Novels by Rolf A. F. Witzsche

As the 'roof' of our world is disintegrating,
and its 'sheltering wings' fail that gave rise to civilization,
in order for us to live 
our 'roof' must be rebuilt,
 the 'famished affections' must be nourished as never before...
But can we meet that challenge? 

What are the limits of our humanity?
Are there any limits?
We face physical limits, perhaps - the distance of space, maybe.
but are there limits to the mind, to love?

 Discovering Infinity

A series of 12 books of

Each volume of the series pertains to a unique level of thinking. This classification was put on the table by Dante Alighieri in the 14th Century with his three part epic poem, The Divine Comedy. Dante takes us through Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise in three successive steps. This corresponds to Volumes 1-3.  However, Dante takes two persons through these stages, a pilgrim and his guide. Volumes 4-6 represent the journey from the standpoint of the guide.  (More about the series)

All science books are available for free as e-books

The pilgrim on his quest seeks enlightenment,
his path traverses Hell, Purgatory, and Paradise, mapped out by Dante.
But who will guide the seeker? Will it be Science?
Our roots are in universal history, but our future will be Science.

Unknown to the world, Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, created a scientific monument in the form of a vast pedagogical structure for discovery and scientific and spiritual development. All of her major works come to light as but parts of this single structure.  She poured ten major constituent structures into one, single, seamless pedagogical structure. The book presents an exhaustive exploration of it.

Mary Baker Eddy's book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, was first published in 1875. It documents her understanding of what she termed, "the final revelation of the divine Principle of scientific mental healing." Since it is a part of her pedagogical structure, a special edition has been prepared that incorporates that linkage.
