About the Author
Jörg Starkmuth was born in Germany in 1966. He studied communications engineering, but language and writing always remained his greatest passion. After working as a translator of technical documentation and as a web designer in the IT and telecommunications industry for some years, he finally became a freelance translator, editor and writer.
Besides a great interest in science and technology, already as a teenager, he started exploring the world of frontier science, esoterics and spirituality. Later, his path of life also lead him to psychology and happiness research. Dissatisfied by the apparent contradictions between some of these fields of human experience, he started to wonder how at least the reasonably credible portion of it all could be reconciled in a consistent, holistic world view that would transcend the limited frames of the individual disciplines.
After many years, some essential puzzle pieces finally fell into place, and Jörg Starkmuth started writing down the world model he had developed, based on the work of many authors and teachers and refined with his own thoughts and conclusions. The result is his book The Making of Reality – How Consciousness Creates the World.
Jörg Starkmuth is also the German translator and publisher of several leading authors in the field of out-of-body experiences: William Buhlman, Robert Bruce, and Jurgen Ziewe. He currently lives in Hennef near Cologne in Germany.
