Prof Matt Haus
Maverick, Raconteur, Philanthropist
Is it possible that we inherit not only
physical traits from our ancestors, but
psychological and spiritual imprints
too? Professor Matt Haus shares the importance
of genealogy in understanding ourselves
better and releasing ourselves from
feelings of guilt at our shortcomings.
He also discusses the need for an
integration of the masculine and
feminine, the yin and the yang, in order
to take us into the new world and to maximise our creative potential.
Professor Matt Haus came to terms with a
harrowing hijack and kidnapping incident
through the healing power of music. He
found wisdom in the writings of
great existential philosophers and has
been especially impacted by Victor
Frankl’s proposition that we have the
ultimate freedom to choose our inner
state of being, irrespective of external
circumstances.
This philosophy has inspired him to
start up Moments in Time, a project which portrays South
African cancer patients in an annual
calendar, each afflicted with one or
other type of cancer, all from different
backgrounds and with different life
experiences.
“We have been
conditioned to avoid pain in life, but
there is a great deal of merit and
dignity in suffering. Often these
lessons in pain are our greatest
teachers and in fact, a gift from God."
