With great sadness, we must inform you that our CEO and founder Albert de Booij, passed away suddenly on June 14, 2022, at only 74 years old. The team of World of Consciousness and all friends and fellow tigers lose in him a wise man and great inspirer.

Albert was an example to many with his wisdom, philosophical thoughts, broad interests, and international life experience. Not the least to those who closely worked with him.

Albert was a true homo universalis. He was a musician, composer, successful international businessman, writer, lecturer and publisher and studied all his life with the aim of gaining broad knowledge in as many fields as possible.

Over the years he obtained university degrees in philosophy, music theory, and cultural sciences. Only just a few weeks ago we published his last study on World Of Consciousness about the impact of the Veda’s on the West. A concise and accessible work that is fun and fascinating to read. Who would have thought that this could be his last publication? Albert left us several compositions and interviews, which we will share with you in the near future.

Albert lived life to the fullest and enjoyed each day. He was married to his mon âme sœur, the Argentinian artist Solange de Booij-Kirschen.

We will seriously consider how to take the best care of Albert’s heritage. Allow us some time for this. When we have made up our minds, we will inform you about the way forward in line with Albert’s thoughts and ideas.
