About Eva Gattnar
Author & originator profile
Dr. Eva Gattnar writes at the boundary between what can be seen and what lies beneath it.
With a doctorate in biomedical engineering and over two decades spent building systems, modelling processes, leading digital transformation at Siemens and Philips, coaching executives, and teaching at universities, she did not set out to become an author. The writing emerged from a shift in perception so fundamental that no existing form could contain what became visible.
The Morning Star Trilogy, with its three books AURORA (book one), PHOENIX (book two), and MADONNA (book three), alongside the trilogy’s companion gnosis SHEKINAH, and its companion codex ALEPH, was composed through the application of Applied Remote Viewing: a disciplined perceptual methodology Dr. Eva Gattnar developed that accesses information beyond the reach of ordinary analysis. The novels are not imagined. They are perceived and transcribed from direct encounter with the deeper structures of reality, consciousness, and the human condition.
Dr. Eva Gattnar’s literary voice carries the precision of her scientific formation and the intensity of what was seen when that formation was extended beyond its conventional object. The Morning Star Trilogy belongs to the tradition of visionary fiction that uses narrative as a vehicle for direct encounter with the nature of reality: alongside Doris Lessing, Hermann Hesse, Olga Tokarczuk, and the prophetic-mythological tradition from William Blake through Carlos Castaneda. Her works are published by Tamaya Press.
She lives and works in Zurich.

Extended biography
For press, catalogue entries, interviews
Dr. Eva Gattnar (b. 1976, Germany) is the author of the Morning Star Trilogy and its companion codex ALEPH, published by Tamaya Press. Her wider body of work encompasses Applied Remote Viewing (ARV), a disciplined perceptual methodology she developed within the framework of Immersive Remote Perception, at the intersection of systems science, heart-brain coherence research, and the direct exploration of consciousness.
Her intellectual formation began in computer science, with a diploma and Master of Science from the Technical University of Nuremberg (Outstanding Academic Studies Award, top 5%; SAP University Alliances Award, best diploma thesis in Germany). Her doctoral research at the Technische Universitat Ilmenau, supported by the Ernst von Siemens Doctoral Fellowship (top 10 doctoral candidates worldwide across all Siemens research), produced a generic model for the automated extraction of hidden process patterns from complex clinical systems through hierarchical clustering and semantic transformation. The doctorate (Dr.-Ing., Magna cum Laude) generated over 20 publications across international peer-reviewed journals, IEEE and Springer conference proceedings, and academic book chapters, and established the foundational insight that would later extend from clinical informatics into the field of human perception: complex systems contain hidden structures that surface analysis cannot detect, and rigorous methodology can make them legible.
Following almost two decades at Siemens and Philips in business development, strategic partnerships, and digital transformation leadership, and a Global Executive MBA (EADA-HHL, Women in Leadership Scholarship), her path moved through entrepreneurship in health technology, seven years of university lecturing and curriculum development across multiple institutions (including authored curricula in business intelligence, information retrieval, and knowledge management), and ICF-accredited executive coaching at ACTP level, where she also served as a teacher within ICF-accredited coaching programmes. A sustained parallel engagement with the science of human performance, heart-brain coherence (HeartMath Institute), brainwave entrainment and altered states of consciousness (Monroe Institute), and independent research into the optimisation of the mind and body as the instruments of perception deepened the bridge between her analytical training and the direct exploration of non-ordinary perception.
This convergence, from computer science and AI learning algorithms through systems modelling, clinical informatics, coaching methodology, and consciousness research, produced the wider body of work now gathered at evagattnar.com: the Morning Star Trilogy and ALEPH as its literary expression; Immersive Remote Perception (IRP) as its theoretical framework; Applied Remote Viewing as its practical methodology; the Living Image Method™ as its core inner process; and a growing architecture of educational and institutional forms including Tamaya Society (Tamaya School, Tamaya Press, Tamaya Institute) and MoniKaa Initiative.
Her literary work did not emerge from imagination in the conventional sense. It emerged from direct perceptual practice, from Applied Remote Viewing sessions that access information beyond the reach of ordinary analysis. The Morning Star Trilogy is both a work of visionary fiction and a record of what becomes visible when inherited assumptions about reality loosen and a different order of perception takes their place.
She lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland.

Foundations in computer science and systems thinking
Her intellectual formation began in computer science, with a diploma and Master of Science from the Technical University of Nuremberg, where she received the Outstanding Academic Studies Award (top 5%) and the SAP University Alliances Award for the best diploma thesis in Germany. Her early work in enterprise systems, business process transformation, SAP consulting, and business intelligence established the first layer of what would become a lifelong inquiry into hidden structures within complex systems. The same foundational competencies that later proved essential to her work in consciousness, pattern extraction, process modelling, algorithmic learning, and hidden-structure identification, were already present in this earliest phase.
Her doctoral research at the Technical University of Ilmenau, supported by the Ernst von Siemens Doctoral Fellowship (awarded to the top 10 doctoral candidates worldwide across all Siemens research), produced a generic model for the standardised and automated capture of clinical process cycle times and events through hierarchical clustering and semantic transformation. The doctorate (Dr.-Ing., Magna cum Laude) generated over 20 publications across international peer-reviewed journals (including IADIS and IEEE proceedings), Springer conference proceedings, and academic book chapters, and was recognised with the Outstanding Paper Award at the IADIS International Conference and an invited research talk at the University of Oslo. She was additionally certified as a Medical Informatics Expert by the German Society for Medical Informatics (GMDS).
The foundational insight of this research, that complex systems contain hidden patterns and process structures that surface observation cannot detect, and that rigorous methodology can extract them, became the intellectual precursor to her later work in consciousness and perception. The methods changed. The inquiry did not. Where her doctoral research used computational algorithms to extract hidden timing patterns from clinical information systems, Immersive Remote Perception uses the human perceptual system itself, calibrated through heart-brain coherence and theta-state access, to extract hidden informational patterns from reality at deeper levels.
Corporate leadership and digital transformation
Following her doctoral work, she spent almost two decades in senior roles at Siemens and Philips, working in business development, M&A, management consulting, strategic partnerships, and digital transformation across the DACH market. At Philips, she led the Long-term Strategic Partnerships team for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, reporting directly to the market leader and presenting to the global board. Her expertise lay at the intersection of clinical technology, innovative business models, strategy development, and the integration of design thinking, agile development, and open innovation into healthcare enterprise solutions. She holds a Global Executive MBA from EADA Business School Barcelona and HHL Leipzig (Women in Leadership Scholarship, best female MBA candidate), and an Executive Programme in Hospital Management and Health Services from HHL Leipzig.
University teaching, curriculum development, and coaching
Alongside and following her corporate career, she lectured for seven years at multiple universities including FOM University of Applied Sciences and Wilhelm Buchner Hochschule, where she developed and authored university curricula in business intelligence, information retrieval, web information systems, and knowledge management. She also served as a scientific reviewer for the American Association for Information Systems (AMCIS) and the German Society for Medical Informatics (GMDS).
Her executive coaching work was grounded in ICF-accredited professional coaching at ACTP level (International Coaching Federation), with certification through Henley Business School (Financial Times Ranking 18th worldwide) and training in values-based cultural transformation through the Barrett Values Centre. She served as a teacher within ICF-accredited coaching programmes and worked extensively with leaders, executives, and founders across sectors, cultures, and organisational contexts. She is additionally certified as a design thinking facilitator and mentor.
Health, performance, and the body as instrument
A sustained parallel inquiry into human health, performance, and the optimisation of the body as the instrument of perception led through multiple dimensions: certification as HeartMath Resilience Coach and Trainer (heart-brain coherence and intuitive intelligence), studies with the Monroe Institute (brainwave entrainment, Hemi-Sync technology, and altered states of consciousness), and independent research into frequency medicine and health technology. This work, conducted through Pontinova Experience, her Zurich-based coaching and leadership development practice, established a critical practical insight: consciousness work requires a properly prepared body. Without physiological coherence, the stilling of the analytical mind, the descent into theta brainwave states, and the heart-brain alignment required for deeper perception are not sustainably accessible. This dimension of her work extends into Tamaya Institute as it develops.
The emergence of Immersive Remote Perception and the literary work
The convergence of these trajectories, from computer science and AI learning algorithms through systems modelling, coaching methodology, heart-brain coherence research, and the direct exploration of altered states and non-ordinary perception, produced the framework she calls Immersive Remote Perception. Where classical remote viewing extracts discrete data fragments through rigid procedural stages, IRP works through immersive, scene-based, multi-modal perception grounded in the science of heart-intelligence. Applied Remote Viewing emerged as the practical deployment of this framework. The Morning Star Trilogy emerged as its literary expression, composed not from conventional imagination but from direct perceptual practice through multiple Applied Remote Viewing sessions.
Today, her work unfolds across several connected fields: the Morning Star Trilogy and ALEPH; Applied Remote Viewing Consultations and Training; a companion course to AURORA: Awakening into Freedom™ – a course about consciousness, illusion, identity, and the nature of reality; a companion intensive to AURORA: Riding the Matrix™ – introducing Applied Remote Viewing based on real-world examples as the methodology through which AURORA was conducted; a companion movement to AURORA: Aurora Leaders™ for those in positions of responsibility; The UnReturn™ as the existential horizon of the wider work; and a growing institutional architecture encompassing Tamaya Society (Tamaya Press, Tamaya School, Tamaya Institute) and MoniKaa Initiative.
She lives and works in Zurich, Switzerland.
The literary Work
Morning Star Trilogy: Series Overview
he Morning Star Trilogy is a symbolic and monumental body of work that leads the reader through rupture, remembrance, and transformation. It does not proceed in a purely linear way, but unfolds as a layered encounter with consciousness, reality, and the human condition.
AURORA opens the first light. PHOENIX carries the fire of trial and transfiguration. MADONNA marks the movement into return, integration, and new beginning.
Together, the trilogy traces a passage through illusion, shadow, awakening, and reorientation – not as doctrine, but as a living encounter with what is most fundamental in human experience.
These books are not meant to be consumed at a distance. They invite the reader into a deeper confrontation with reality, with the structures through which life has been interpreted, and with what begins to change when perception itself is no longer the same.
Book One
AURORA: The Living Banner of Truth
Book Presentation
“Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein
AURORA is the first movement of the Morning Star Trilogy and the threshold into Eva Gattnar’s wider body of work. It opens a non-linear journey through consciousness, reality, and the human condition, moving across shifting layers of perception, time, and lived experience. As the first light of the trilogy, AURORA confronts both the fractures of the human world and the deeper potential of awakened consciousness.
At its core, AURORA is a book of remembrance. It does not merely tell a story; it invites the reader into a destabilisation of inherited certainty and into a deeper recognition of what reality may be when surface appearances begin to loosen. In this sense, it functions both as novel and threshold.

Book Two
PHOENIX: The Final Trial
Book Presentation
“The dream is not the dreamer. Awaken to your true self.” – Lakota Sioux
PHOENIX is the second movement of the trilogy and carries the fire that follows first recognition. If AURORA opens the field, PHOENIX intensifies it through rupture, trial, transfiguration, and the difficult threshold experiences that arise when older forms of identity can no longer remain intact.
It is a book concerned with passage: with what must burn, what must be faced, and what becomes possible when transformation is not only imagined, but undergone. PHOENIX deepens the existential and symbolic movement of the trilogy and brings the reader closer to the consequences of awakening.
Also available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
Book Three
MADONNA: A New Beginning
Book Presentation
“The fruit of love is service. The fruit of service is peace.” – Mother Theresa
MADONNA is the third book of the Morning Star Trilogy and opens into return, integration, and a new quality of presence. Where AURORA opens and PHOENIX transforms, MADONNA turns toward embodiment: what it means to live differently once something essential has changed.
It is a book concerned with the refinement of being with love, tenderness, coherence, relationship, and the possibility of inhabiting life from a less divided consciousness. In this way, MADONNA completes the movement of the trilogy not by retreating from the world, but by re-entering it in a different form.
Also available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
Gnosis
SHEKINAH: The Second Coming
Book Presentation
SHEKINAH is the companion Gnosis to the Morning Star Trilogy. Where the trilogy renders the gospel-narrative through perceptual record, SHEKINAH operates as direct knowing. It is an articulation from recognition rather than argumentation toward it.
The book sits in the lineage of medieval mystical wisdom-literature. Closest cousin to Marguerite Porete’s Mirror of Simple Souls, the Hekhalot literature, and the Pistis Sophia. It is the voice of the indwelling presence, speaking through verses.
The first verses appear within MADONNA, where the trilogy’s protagonist encounters the work as the mentor’s source-text. The complete volume publishes as companion gnosis alongside the trilogy’s completion.
Codex
ALEPH: The Truth about Reality
Book Presentation
ALEPH is the companion codex to the Morning Star Trilogy and a more concentrated expression of the wider philosophical and existential field from which the books emerge. Neither conventional prose nor poetry, it moves in a different register: distilled, direct, and concerned less with narrative progression than with recognition.
It can be approached as testimony, inquiry, and invitation. ALEPH turns toward the deeper questions beneath the trilogy: consciousness, reality, freedom, remembrance, illusion, and the structures through which life has been interpreted. Where the trilogy unfolds these themes symbolically and narratively, ALEPH gathers them into a more immediate and contemplative form. ALEPH is not separate from the trilogy, but its inner companion: a codex that deepens the work and opens a more direct encounter with what it points toward.
Also available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
Book One, Two and Three
MORNING STAR TRILOGY: Bundle
The Complete Collection
What begins as uncovering of hidden truth in AURORA deepens into transformation in PHOENIX, and ultimately into a new relationship to reality in MADONNA: one that is shaped not only by what is seen, but by what can be lived, integrated, and brought into form.
The trilogy works with archetypes that are older than any single tradition. The awakening force that destroys illusion. The fire that consumes what cannot survive the truth. The feminine intelligence that receives, integrates, and gives new form to what has passed through destruction.
Each book can be read as a standalone encounter. But the full arc is designed to be experienced as one continuous movement: a journey that begins with the fracturing of inherited reality and ends with the possibility of inhabiting a deeper one. AURORA opens the threshold. PHOENIX carries it through fire. MADONNA brings it into form. The journey does not end with the last page of AURORA. It begins there.
