The subjects are described in a simple and easily understood way, and several of the books are well suited as introductory texts.
AN ETERNAL WORLD PICTURE Martinus (1890-1981) has described in his works - collectively known as "The Third Testament" - a logical, cohesive world picture that shows that all living beings form part of a living universe and evolve continuously towards higher forms of life. The great upheavals and crises of our time are expressive of the downfall of a world culture and the birth of new, humane world society.
A SPIRITUAL SCIENCE In his analyses Martinus shows how our consciousness, psyche and morality evolve through reincarnation and karma according to natural laws that in the course of time result in all experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant, benefitting the individual. Martinus’ collected works constitute a cosmology or spiritual science that can give the reader an optimistic view of life and inspire him to practise tolerance and neighbourly love.
THE THIRD TESTAMENT Martinus’ collected works consist of Livets Bog (The Book of Life) in 7 volume and The Eternal World Picture in 5 volumes as well as a series of other books and a substantial number of articles and lectures.
