After finishing his business studies, Franz Artenjak started working but, his mental state deteriorating, he was hospitalized at the age of twenty-seven at the psychiatric hospital of Gugging. According to Artenjak, all actions are predestined, and everything is connected. For example, drinking milk can provoke high atmospheric pressure. He also believed that he could foresee the fate of those around him. Artenjak’s theories find origin in his first visionary experience on 19 January 1961  ; at that moment, Artenjak saw God – a white magnetic force, an angel of light. His drawings reflect the full cosmological system that he developed.
