The founder of this philosophy of life lived in the twentieth century.
She was born in the former colonial Dutch East Indies in 1902. After a lonely childhood in the bush, she moved with the whole family to the Netherlands. She studied mathematics and physics at the University of Leiden.
During this time, an increasingly severe deafness revealed itself, which had a lasting influence on her philosophy of life (“the way in”). She elaborated on this problem in her books “De Blijde Stilte” and “Het Eeuwig Lied” (The Eternal Song).
From an early age, Frida developed her literary talent in books, fairy tales and poems (see the LITERATURE section).
During the Second World War, Frida was active in the resistance against the German occupiers. Because of her resistance activities, she ended up in German captivity, from which she miraculously managed to escape the day before the resistance group of which she was a member, was murdered.
During this period of uncertainty, Frida came to realize that the horror and inhumanity of war and its catastrophic consequences for man and society originated in subconscious motives in the human mind. She therefore saw it as her task to understand the subconscious, and to communicate her acquired insights to the outside world. Insights that shed new light on the meaning of human existence.
Frida died at the age of 83 in 1985.
Her personality, life’s story and process of awareness, together with the authentic and unabridged account of her philosophy of life, were published by Jacob Jean Mulder in the book “De Godsvrouwe Ontsluierd” (The Lady of God Unveiled) (third edition 2012).
