"Die Wahrheit, die du der Welt erzählen willst, musst du in deine Geschichte hineintun. Wenn du deine Wahrheit geradewegs als Behauptung hinstellst, wird sie niemanden interessieren. Kleidest du sie jedoch in deine ganz eigene Geschichte, gewinnt sie an Überzeugungskraft, und die Menschen werden dir gerne zuhören. Doch dafür musst du zuerst das Leben erfahren. Denn die Geschichten entstehen aus der Erfahrung des Lebens." Diese Worte seines indischen Meisters nahm sich Shiva Ryu zu Herzen.

Değişen Kafalar’da Thomas Mann, kadim bir Hint hikâyesinden yola çıkarak kimliğin en kırılgan yerini hedef alır: “Ben” dediğimiz şey, akılda mı yaşar, bedende mi? Bir kaza sonucu başlar yer değiştirir; sevgi, sadakat ve tutku ise bu beklenmedik değişimin içinde yönünü kaybeder. Aynı yüz, başka bir zihinle; aynı zihin, başka bir bedenle yaşamak zorunda kalınca, aşk bile kendi gerçeğini sorgulamaya başlar. Mann’ın ironisi, anlatının her kıvrımında hissedilir: Kahramanlar “doğru” olanı ararken, okur da bir sorunun etrafında dönüp durur. Seçim kime aittir?
