Abstract

Richard Wolfram introduced the term gestalthaftes Sehen as an expression for concepts conceived Of in the early 20th century by Wolfram and three student.friends. Other new terms included second sight, and Ekstase as a means of communicating with Germanic ancestors. Some of their thinking implied -statebuilding." Their way led, however, to treating alternate insights as alternate facts, always a questionable procedure. I have inserted a new term for understanding this period, "Depth Ideology" and see this as one aspect Of memory ethnology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
