1. Life and Consciousness Independent of the Physical Body
– How We Survive Death – Reincarnation
The journey of Life neither begins with birth nor ends with death – Life is an eternal, ongoing, dynamic process. The key to and explanation of immortality are to be found in the basic nature of life – the X-structure. During periods of our eternal evolutionary process, we live alternately in a physical world and in a paraphysical* world, which presupposes and entails reincarnation. The X-structure demonstrates that all living beings have, in addition to the temporary physical body, an immortal paraphysical body structure, to which the physical body is connected and completely dependent on. The paraphysical body structure exists and operates entirely independently of the physical body. This means that death is not the end of life; “to die” simply signifies a transition from physical life to a paraphysical continuation of life.
The Cosmic Worldview explains and describes how life after physical death continues on paraphysical planes of existence, and the course of events that lead to a new physical life – the processes of reincarnation and disincarnation. It is through these processes that our life and consciousness are transferred between physical and paraphysical planes of existence. This knowledge naturally also entails a new and profound understanding of past-life memories, near-death experiences, after-death communication, out-of-body experiences and similar phenomena.
The Cosmic Worldview also describes how the paraphysical body structure is constructed and explains how it operates, for example, the unique organic storage units termed talent cores. The primary functions of the talent cores are to store, accumulate and process all our individual experiences, abilities, skills, qualities, etc., in order to make it possible for us to reuse and develop them, and to take them with us from life to life. The talent cores are prerequisites for the development of all forms of life and evolutionary processes. There are three main groups of talent cores: 1. memory-talent cores (M-TC), 2. manual activity organ-talent cores (MAO-TC), 3. autonomous organ-talent cores (AO-TC). The specific AO-talent cores store programs for the creation and development of organisms and are crucial to how things take their form, grow and evolve in a particular way, thereby dismissing the traditional theory that all this complex form-shaping and development is merely genetically programmed. The primary form-shaping and evolving processes, with all the underlying information, are accumulated in the AO-talent cores and activated at the paraphysical level when the reincarnation process begins. The talent cores are highly relevant in the field of epigenetics as they directly exert an influence on the genes of the DNA spiral.
Death is Life’s greatest surprise. – Martinus
2. Consciousness – The Process of Perception and Qualia
– Physical, Semiphysical and Paraphysical Body Structures
The Cosmic Worldview and the X-structure present an in-depth explanation and description of the nature of consciousness and thereby also a solution to the so-called Hard Problem of Consciousness. The X-structure also entails a new understanding of the process of perception, which provides a profound solution to the Explanatory Gap; i.e. how and why we have subjective phenomenal experiences – qualia – which cannot be explained based on materialism and physicalism.
The perception process involves our entire organism complex with its three organic body structures: physical, semiphysical* and paraphysical. Martinus and Per Bruus-Jensen illustrate the semiphysical and paraphysical structures and their processes, which side by side with the activities of the physical brain, constitute the foundation of our ability to experience, think, remember, feel, etc. – in fact, of all activity within our consciousness.
The paraphysical body structures constitute an organic system that exists and functions independently of the physical body, and here we find the talent cores (section 1), which also play a major role in the creation of life experience and qualia. Specialized talent cores termed memory-talent cores (M-TC), store experiences as memories and constitute a unique individual information bank termed the perception archive, which contains an enormous amount of reference material. The information stored in these M-talent cores gives “resonance” to new incoming objective impulses via our physical senses and influences how we transform, interpret and act on stimuli; namely, the transformation of objective reality into subjective reality, which is a central part of the so-called Reality-Consciousness Transformation Process – the X-RCT Process (section 7).
3. A New Psychology – Free Will – Destiny and Future
The X-structure elucidates the underlying elements and processes of all mental activity and thus presents a new and fundamental explanatory model leading to a new era within psychology. Comprehensive, crucial areas and developing factors are added, such as reincarnation perspectives, past life influences, karma, energy constellations (section 9) etc., which introduce new dimensions within psychology.
The Cosmic Worldview also highlights the interaction of free will with the fundamental principles and precise laws of nature that prevail in existence. It provides us with an explanation of the real links between cause and effect, actions and consequences, and thereby also awareness of how we ourselves influence and shape our destiny and future (the law of movement and the law of karma). In understanding this, humanity will develop an increasingly deeper sense of responsibility, empathy, and care for all life.
According to the Cosmic Worldview, humanity is in an evolutionary phase of development where our intuition* is at a minimum level, but will gain strength as part of the ongoing evolutionary process; a phase during which our instinct* is diminishing, while both intelligence* and intuition* are increasing. This progressive change and development in our psyche and mentality leads to an ever greater understanding of life and reality, which also means that egoism will gradually be replaced by altruism. Taken as a whole, this scenario is characteristic of the emerging New Cosmic Paradigm.
*Instinct, intelligence and intuition are three of the seven so-called qualitative basic energies (section 9). Below is a brief description of these three qualitative basic energies, their properties and characteristics.
Intelligence: analysis, logic, rationality, expediency, efficiency, recognition, identification, reflection, calculation, foresight, imagination.
Intuition: synthesis, quintessence, instant understanding and knowing (without needing to think or use logical reasoning and independent of any previous studies or knowledge), penetrating, immediate insight, design and generation of ingenious ideas and perfected constructive creativity.
4. The Cosmic Evolutionary Spiral – A New Era in Biology
– Physical and Paraphysical Planes of Existence – The Repetition
New and ground-breaking evolutionary perspectives signifying a new era in biology. All forms of life evolve in a law-governed evolutionary process in the form of “spiral cycles”, which gradually lead to ever-higher forms of life – the Cosmic Evolutionary Spiral. Every spiral cycle includes six fundamentally different planes of existence through which all living beings move and develop in ever-new ways. (The six planes of existence correspond to the six different basic energy combinations {section 9} and constellations of consciousness in the Cosmos.)
On Earth we know three of these planes of existence as the mineral kingdom, plant kingdom and animal kingdom. These realms mainly represent physical worlds and involve different forms of reincarnation and disincarnation processes. According to the Cosmic Worldview, humans at the current level of development still belong to the animal kingdom. The other three planes of existence are mainly paraphysical and we live on these temporarily after death, during the periods between our physical lives. Further ahead in the cosmic evolutionary spiral, we live and develop in the paraphysical planes of existence for very long periods of time, after which life continues again in physical worlds, but then of an entirely new character; in entirely new physical organisms, and in entirely new physical worlds. The ongoing result of the cosmic evolutionary spiral is the constant renewal and development of all forms of Life – an eternal and ongoing evolution of life and consciousness for all living beings.
In this context, it is worth mentioning that each reincarnation process involves a repetition of earlier stages of development within our current spiral cycle. The beginning of a new incarnation entails activation of the disincarnated individual’s autonomous organ-talent cores (AO-TC, section 1) at the paraphysical level. These talent cores initiate and govern complex processes at the physical level. We can observe and follow these intensive activities and developments from conception, the embryonic period and the entire fetal development to birth – the creating and shaping of a new, unique organism. These autonomous processes and developments comprise what Martinus terms the repetition, which means that we repeat earlier stages of our development. The stages that are furthest from our current level are repeated first and fastest. The early and fast development and repetition include, for instance, gill slits and tail, which are examples of organs and structures that are much less important or no longer needed in further incarnations, (but which have been necessary during earlier stages of development in the current spiral). The AO-talent cores that hold “older” programs and underlie these now less important structures are in various stages of degeneration, but some of them still operate and result in vestigial or rudimentary organs, such as the outer ear muscles, appendix, wisdom teeth and coccyx.
5. The Sexual Evolution – The Transformation of the Poles
– From Egoism to Altruism
According to Martinus, all living beings have two “pole-structures”; one “masculine pole” and one “feminine pole”. In males the masculine pole is dominant, and in females the feminine pole is dominant. Our current development phase entails our moving towards a balance between our respective masculine and feminine poles. This means that humanity is at the beginning of a profound transformation process of its sexuality and mentality, which at the same time implies a transition from egoism and selfishness to altruism and unconditional love.
Martinus explains this evolutionary process as a development from the animal stage to what he terms the real human stage. This current stage of human development can be illustrated by the Sphinx; the animal body (symbolizing the animal stage) with the human head (symbolizing the real human stage to come). This process is termed the transformation of the poles and signifies an organic development from a so-called one-poled state (distinctly male/ masculine or female/ feminine) to a double-poled state, (which can be roughly described as androgynous, a combination of and balance between male/ masculinity and female/ femininity), which means that a new kind of human being is about to develop. Martinus explains and describes the underlying structures and principles of this developmental process, which involves the complex transformation process from animal (one-poled state) and egoism to real human (double-poled state) and altruism. The one-poled state, i.e. sex and gender division, occurs in the physical planes of existence (section 4) beginning in the plant kingdom and culminating in the animal kingdom, where it subsequently decreases and the development of a new double-poled state begins and continues in a maturation process. The double-poled state is completed in the real human kingdom (which is a transition zone where physical life and existence pass on to paraphysical life and existence).
The terrestrial human being is not an animal in the purest sense,
but he/she is not a finished human being either.
He/she is a wounded refugee between two kingdoms. – Martinus
“Sexuality” also takes on a whole new and far wider meaning, helping us to understand more deeply who we are and the developmental phase we are going through. We get new and logical perspectives on the transitional period we are living in, characterized in several different aspects by a sexualized society. The development phase to double-poled state means pervasive changes biologically, mentally and psychologically with subsequent problems and crises regarding sex, gender, identity, etc. All these are characteristic of the sometimes difficult and confusing evolutionary process that we are undergoing on the way to a double-poled state and an altruistic society.
6. The Living, All-Embracing Cosmos – Life-Units and Life within Life
– An Organic and Holistic Structure – Wholeness and Entanglement
The all-embracing Cosmos; in the Cosmic Worldview – Martinus Cosmology, the term “Cosmos” refers to and encompasses everything that exists – all worlds and dimensions, i.e. our own universe and beyond, including all forms of life and reality. Read more …
Life organizes itself as “life within life”, thereby existing in common interaction and mutual dependence. Life within life means that every being is both a macro-being, which provides living space for micro-beings – and also a micro-being, which gets its living space from a larger macro-being. This presupposes a living, organic and holistic structure. All living beings are immortal “life-units” linked together and parts of the infinite and living wholeness; the all-embracing, multidimensional Cosmos. Life is eternal and meaningful for every individual entity as well as for the totality/ wholeness.
The division of the Cosmos (the all-embracing wholeness) into life-units is primarily caused by one of the “cosmic creative principles” (form-creating structuring principles that sustain and organize life and reality, section 9), termed the life-unit principle (also termed matter and life-unit principle). Thus, this principle entails the division of the wholeness and structuring of energy into units/ quanta, such as elementary particles, cells, organs, organisms, planets, solar systems, galaxies, etc. The specific design of all these different life-units involves interaction with the so-called organism principle.
The life-unit principle is responsible for the manifested reality’s fractalized structure and nature, its division into units of any form, including organisms for living beings. In other words, the living Cosmos, on the manifested level, has divided and structured itself into living units/ living beings.
The relationship between and complementarity of wholeness/oneness and duality/separation, as well as the structure of entanglement (how all life-units are connected), are fundamental structures and effects primarily caused by the life-unit principle.
7. The X-Structure; the Nature of Life, Consciousness and Reality – and The X-RCT Process
The X-Structure – the Basic Nature of Life and Reality. As this primordial form is unknown to man, Martinus expressed it with the letter X, also termed the “living Something”, the “living Being”. The X-structure constitutes the ultimate foundation and prerequisite for Life, Consciousness and Reality; for everything that exists, has existed and will exist. The X-structure is in principle the same for all forms of life including the infinite and all-embracing Cosmos, and its main function is the continuous creation of Consciousness/ experience.
The Initial Reality “X0” (the primordial domain of existence) is an all-embracing, immaterial, unmanifested world of emptiness and stillness, containing infinite potential of creative possibilities. The X0-nature is continuously generating a fundamental, indivisible, integrated principle termed the Triplementary Principle X (Triune Operating Principle) with three functional aspects (X1, X2, X3), that characterize all of life:
X1 the Creator and Experiencer – X2 the Creative and Experiential Ability – X3 the Created and Experienced
X1 – the Creating and Experiencing Something (the Creator and Experiencer) – the Subject/ the “I” (the “bearer of consciousness”, the timeless ”central point” we term and refer to as ”I”).
Emptiness, Stillness
X2 – this Something’s Creative and Experiential Ability (the Creative and Experiential Ability) – qualitative “basic energies” and form-creating and structuring principles.
Energy (seven qualitative cosmic basic energies incl. creative principles/ morphogenetic effect constants, section 9)
X3 – this Something’s Created and Experienced Reality (the Created and Experienced) – X3 is the result of the interaction between the Subject/ the “I” (X1) and its Creative and Experiential Ability (X2), represented by movement including the “material illusion” as objective reality (X3 obj.) on one side, and the experience of it as subjective reality (X3 subj.) on the other.
I.e. objective and subjective effects: movement, the “material illusion”, the manifested Cosmos (obj. reality) – and – the experience of it as qualia (subj. reality); the ”subjective reality complex”.
Energy Conversion, Movement (X3 = energy conversion: X3 obj. = movement, X3 subj. = experience of movement; qualia.)
The X-Structure with its Triplementary Principle (Triune Operating Principle) is activating and transforming X0 into X3. This transformation process is termed the Reality-Consciousness Transformation Process – X-RCT Process; the bidirectional manifestation-perception process from unmanifested initial reality/X0, into manifested objective reality/X3 obj. (manifestation) and the experience of it as qualia, subjective reality/X3 subj. (perception).
I.e. the X-RCT Process from emptiness and stillness (initial reality, X0) – to movement and quanta (objective reality, X3 obj.) – to qualia (subjective reality, X3 subj.).
The X-Structure and the X-RCT Process provide a profound solution to the “Hard Problem of Consciousness” (the mystery of experience, perception, qualia) and the “Hard Problem of Reality” (the nature of objective reality).

8. The Five Cosmic Classes of Motion
(This section is a direct continuation of section 7)
Everything created (X3) emerges as an expression of life and implies movement, and thus constitutes a contrast to the X0-nature of emptiness and stillness, (without contrast no experience). Creation involves conversion of energy and manifests itself as movement, namely the five universal classes of motion: The “Primordial motion” (1) and the four so-called ”derived motions” known in the physical world as: Space (2), Time (3), Transformation (4), Matter (5).
The primordial motion has both objective and subjective status and means positional motion “from A to B”, whereas the four derived motions are subjective versions (X3 subj.) and thus alternative representations of the objective primordial motion (X3 obj.), transformed by X1 in interaction with X2.
Martinus states: “The ultimate characteristic of life is movement – Movement is the manifestation of life”. In his teachings to Per Bruus-Jensen, he also emphasized that: “all motions within the infinite Cosmos neutralize each other, confirming the underlying all-embracing X0-nature of emptiness and stillness”.
9. The Qualitative Cosmic Basic (Fundamental) Energies and Cosmic Creative Principles
The Cosmic Worldview presents a completely new concept of energy, by Martinus termed “Cosmic Basic Energy” – in fact consisting of seven extremely subtle, qualitative basic energies (also termed fundamental energies), each of which holds specific properties. Everything created in life and reality consists of these qualitative basic energies, from the very densest physical matter to the most subtle that exists including our thoughts, feelings, memories, etc. In fact, the infinite manifested Cosmos, consists of different combinations of these qualitative basic energies. In order to illustrate the specific qualities, impacts and strengths of the basic energies, Martinus gave them different signature colors and numbers that he consistently used in his symbols. It should be emphasized that the basic/ fundamental energies always operate together in different combinations (Martinus terms this topic “Cosmic Chemistry”). When you know these qualitative basic energies you will recognize them in everything and everywhere. Read more the Cosmic Basic Energies.
The primary basic/ fundamental energy, the “mother energy” holds and operates via a number of so-called “cosmic creative principles” also termed “morphogenetic effect constants”; form-creating and structuring forces that sustain and organize life and reality. For instance, we can empirically observe the effects of the mother energy’s morphogenetic effect constants in what we term the constants and laws of nature with their extremely delicate precision, etc. In other words, the appropriate functioning of the manifested multidimensional Cosmos is a result of these morphogenetic effect constants. The X2-function (section 7), with its creative principles/ effect constants, creates contrasts to the X0-nature of emptiness, stillness, wholeness, infinity, eternity, nonduality and nonlocality which is transformed and structured into energy/matter, movement, life-units, space, time, states, distances, etc. Read more the Cosmic Creative Principles.
The X2-function with its Cosmic Creative Principles/ Morphogenetic Effect Constants operates and functions as “transformation processes”, creating contrasts to the X0-nature e.g.:
• Wholeness → Life-units, separation, quantification…
• Emptiness → Energy/ matter
• Stillness → Movement
• Infinity → Space, distance
• Eternity → Time
10. The Nature of Energy and Matter – A New Physics
From Physics we know that particles constitute an extremely tiny part of matter and that an apparently omnipresent void (99,999…9%) is dominant, i.e. almost 100% is just “emptiness”. Physicists refer to it as the zero point field or the quantum vacuum field and they have realized that it is actually not empty, but in fact, holds unbelievable concentrations of very subtle energy – the so-called vacuum or zero-point energy – without knowing what it is, nor its purpose.
The Cosmic Worldview explains the mentioned subtle vacuum energy as the seven qualitative cosmic basic/ fundamental energies (section 9). It also describes how these basic/ fundamental energies in the zero-point/ vacuum field constitute particles and matter and how particles actually are identical to these basic energies, although in a condensed form. In other words, particles are just densified energy (section 11). Einstein’s famous formula, E = mc² is expanded to X2 = mc², followed by a clarification of the energy concept which is shown to be immaterial at its roots – A New Era in Physics.
11. The Theory of Everything and The Fundamental Energy Theory – FET
Physicists have worked intensively for a long time to understand our physical world, including to unify the four forces of nature: gravity, electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces into what they term the “Theory of Everything”, but so far without any complete solution. NCP X-AIONS has published (2012) Leif Pettersson’s ground-breaking material demonstrating a new model (completely based on Martinus Cosmology); “The Fundamental Energy Theory – FET”, that without any contradiction unifies the four fundamental forces of nature, and thereby meets the criteria for the “Theory of Everything”.
FET is primarily focusing on two of the qualitative fundamental/ basic energies; the “expansion energy” and the “contraction energy”, and how they are underlying and constituting the entire physical world. The other fundamental energies are also involved in these processes but to a much lesser degree. The expansion and contraction energies have totally opposite characteristics, i.e. there is tension between them. FET states that the interaction and tension between these two energies constitute the very basis of what physicists term force, particles, and matter. FET describes and explains the enigmatic dark matter and dark energy, the creation of particles from the zero-point field that in turn elucidates the phenomena of mass (Higgs field), curved space, the mechanisms of gravity and much more. Read more “Physics, Martinus Cosmology and The Theory of Everything – The Fundamental Energy Theory – FET”.
12. Spiritual Science and Intellectualizing of the Content of Religions
Martinus termed his intuitive knowledge “Spiritual Science”, presenting a new world-picture that also involves deep and logical explanations of the content of religions (using Christianity as its point of departure). Martinus clarifies evident misunderstandings and misinterpretations and provides a profound solution to the Theodicy problem which explains the causes of suffering and evil; intellectualizing the content of religions and, even more importantly, demonstrating that Love is the strongest and most powerful force.
Martinus’ Spiritual Science guides us in our ongoing development from faith (instinct-based ) to knowledge, understanding, and direct insight (intelligence and intuition-based ) about Life and Reality – the living, infinite, all-embracing Cosmos that has, through the ages, often been referred to as “God”, the “Divine” etc., of which all living things are part, as immortal life-units.
