A book of stories about living and uplifting civilization. The stories are science-fantasy. They are focused on individual self-discovery and on the discovery of our human potential for a greatness that is rooted in our humanity as human beings. The foundation of the stories is a new type of science. As this science unfolds, the view of our world becomes brighter against the background of a greater honesty with ourselves. All stories in this book are a selection from the epic series of novels, The Lodging for the Rose, by Rolf A. F. Witzsche.
