Der Mikrobiologe Paul Bálint feiert mit ehemaligen Kollegen in Paris seinen 80. Geburtstag. Er wird geehrt und spürt zugleich, dass die Feier auch ein Abschied ist. Er befindet sich, so sein Freund Steinberg, an der Schwelle zwischen dem „jungen Alter“ und dem „alten Alter“ – einer Phase, in der nichts mehr selbstverständlich ist und sich die Vergänglichkeit in allen Dingen bemerkbar macht. Doch statt sich nur mit dem Verlust zu beschäftigen, will Bálint die neue Lebensphase erkunden wie ein unbekanntes Land: Was bedeutet das Alter für den Körper, die Erinnerung, das Gefühl für das Selbst und die Zeit, für das Verhältnis zu den Mitmenschen, den lebenden wie den toten? Je mehr er sich mit dem Alter beschäftigt, desto deutlicher zeigt sich ihm ein Leben voller neuer Möglichkeiten. Es bietet ihm zudem die große Freiheit, sich ohne Rücksicht auf Konventionen und wissenschaftliche Regeln einen eigenen Reim auf die heutige Welt und ihre Veränderung zu machen. Quelle: Klappentext Luchterhand Verlag Die Novelle setzt mit dem Geburtstagsfest für Paul Bálint ein, das jüngere Forscher-Kolleginnen und -Kollegen für die einstige Wissenschafts-Koryphäe ausgerichtet haben. Doch Bálint verspürt eine tiefe Einsamkeit. Er fühle sich «von der Konversation ausgeschlossen»: «Er war kein Teil der Forschungscommunity mehr. In ihrem Kreis gab es ihn lediglich als eine Erinnerung: gut und ehrenwert, doch längst vergangen.» (…) Subitl und bildhaft erzählt Christian Haller aus Paul Bálints Alltag: Wer er in seiner Nachbarschaft zwar als netter älterer Herr gilt, dem man auf der Strasse freundlich zunickt. Für den sich aber keiner mehr interessiert. (…) Kurzum: Bálint muss nicht mehr, er darf. Diese Verschiebung ist die Folge der Endlichkeit, die absehbar geworden ist. Sie schafft neue Relationen. Und Distanz zu vermeintlich wichtigen Zielen, die es lange Zeit pflichtschuldigts zu erreichen galt. Quelle: Felix Münger, SRF Kultur

**Meditationsreihe: Fokus finden – Konzentration & Achtsamkeit stärken** Dienstags, 9. Juni - 14. Juli 2026, 18:30-19:30 in der Frauenzentrale, Winterthur mit Kathrin Hald (Deutsch), 20CHF https://www.kadampa.ch/winterthur/ Unser Leben fühlt sich oft chaotisch und stressig an. Manchmal haben wir Mühe, unsere täglichen Aufgaben und Pflichten erfolgreich zu erledigen. Es mag helfen, unseren Lebensstil, unsere Routine oder unseren Job in irgendeiner Weise zu verändern, aber im Grunde genommen wird sich unser Leben immer überwältigend anfühlen, wenn wir es versäumen, unseren unruhigen, unkonzentrierten Geist zu adressieren. An diesen Meditationsabenden werden wir erkennen, wie ein abgelenkter, unruhiger Geist unsere Leistungsfähigkeit und unser Wohlbefinden einschränkt, während ein ruhiger, konzentrierter Geist uns glücklich und effizient macht. Wir werden lernen, was Konzentration ist, welche Vorteile sie hat und wie wir sie entwickeln können, sowohl in der Meditation als auch, und das ist entscheidend, in unserem täglichen Leben. **Themenliste** 9\. Juni 2026 \| Fokus finden 16\. Juni 2026 \| Den Geist trainieren 23\. Juni 2026 \| Ablenkungen loslassen 30\. Juni 2026 \| Still und klar 7\. Juli 2026 \| Achtsamkeit für den Alltag 14\.

EXPERIENCE PHILOSOPHICAL SYNCRETISM, INNER ALCHEMY, AND GAME SPIRIT. Try a live (private) session of **Mäng (offline in Zürich or online worldwide)**, a powerful self-exploration game that helps uncover hidden mental scripts and rewire the way you think, feel and act. It is a tool for a really **profound change** that follows the four stages of inner alchemy. A modernized version of an ancient contemplative practice, reimagined as a transformational tool based on psychological insight, symbolic logic, and inner strategy, it is not therapy or coaching in the traditional sense. Instead, it’s an immersive deep-dive into the unconscious mind through metaphor and archetype with a game spirit. 💡 **How it works:** Mäng is built on four stages of real, lasting change: 1. **Discovery** – Identify limiting beliefs and internal programs 2. **Uninstallation** – Let go of outdated patterns 3. **Design** – Create new mental strategies 4. **Integration** – Embed them into your deeper awareness You’ll be guided through this process by the **Master of Mäng**, who offers structure, questions, and insight, while you remain the one making all decisions and discoveries. 🌿 **Who is this for?** For everyone (regardless of beliefs, age, gender, etc.), but more than anyone - for those who didn't find answers or sufficient depth in pop coaching and psychology. 🕒 **Important:** This is a deep game. A full session lasts **4 hours**. Time slots are defined individually. Contact me directly to get an appointment. Price for newbies: 250 CHF

From the moment sin entered the world, death began. Adam and Eve were not stricken dead immediately, but the process by which none of us lives forever in health and wholeness in these earthly bodies started its inexorable march to the inevitable end—death. The Bible makes it clear that by one man’s sin, death came to all mankind, but that by the obedience of One Perfect Man, Jesus, many are made righteous (Romans 5:19). F.F. Bosworth recognized this truth; he also would have people consider that the God Who provided for our greatest need—salvation from eternal death—would also provide healing for the lesser, but still great needs, of health and healing from sickness, disease, and the consequences of sin that we encounter before we die. Join us as we examine the case for biblical healing in the book first published in 1924, ***Christ The Healer*. We meet at True Food Kitchen, Easton Town Center on Tuesday, July 7, 2026 at 6:30 pm.** Get your tickets on [EventBrite](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/christ-the-healer-columbus-ohio-tickets-1989133215995)!

"Do as I say, not as I do." Children tend to have a built-in ability to recognize hypocrisy quicker than many adults, and there are few children who will respect an adult whose actions do not match his or her words. John the Baptizer wanted to make it clear that God himself is in NO way pleased by people who claim to follow Him and whose lives in NO way reflect His character. In fact, the Greek word for "actor" that people used in the first century is *"hypokrites"*. John called out the truth to any and all who would listen--from peasants to the king, even at peril of his own life and freedom--and insisted God does not judge by words alone, but by actions and in truth. Luke Chapter 3 concludes with making it clear to the Jewish and Greek readers of the day that Jesus was not only the rightful King of Israel, but also the true Son of Man--the Son of Adam, Who came to provide a way for those who had followed Adam into sin to return to fellowship with God. Take a look at Luke Chapter 3 and join us at **10 am,** **Sunday, June 28,** at **True Food Kitchen at Easton Town Center.** We'd love to see you there!
