Dazwischen in German translates to “drifting in and out” in English. People are animals of Dazwischen, always traveling in and out of different phases, experiencing transition, opposition, suffering, and rebellion. For humanity of the 19th Century, the “in and out” identity is very prominent. Never before in history, humans today face the confusion of a multi-dimensional world. Drifting in and out, become our normal state of mind and one of our most prominent characteristics.
