As a child he grew up in the artistic and scientific circles of
Holland, meeting the better levels of society and the downside. At the
age of three his parents separated and he was raised within a religious
diversified family. He learned the many perspectives of life, like the
Catholic, Protestant and Jewish teachings, Buddhism, Communism,
Hinduism and esoteric ideas. It made him study philosophy at a young
age. In the early seventies his mother took him on a trip through
India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nepal, giving him a broader experience
of the world. His urge for mental fulfilment and intellectual study
went along with his desire to experience the real world and notice the
many different levels of society.
