New aspects of The Law of Attraction – the most important natural law in your life.
My book ”The Art of Attraction” – New Aspects of the Law of Attraction” is out now on Amazon.com / .co.uk and it explains in clear and logical terms how this fantastic natural law works. The book presents lots of good advice about how to make the law work for you, so that you can attract the things and circumstances in your life that you most want.
Fact box: It is irrefutable that there is a law of attraction. This law has been known to physics for more than 100 years, and it decrees that energies on similar wavelengths attract each other. We make use of the law when we listen to the radio, watch television and speak on our mobile phones, because these means of telecommunication make use of the law of attraction for the transmission of electromagnetic waves. This means that we make use of this natural law every day. But the law of attraction also affects our personal lives through the magnetism that our thoughts hold. Our thoughts are”something” even though we cannot see them – they are electromagnetic waves that are measurable. When we think of something, we quite simply attract what we are thinking about or wishing. So there is every reason to ”do some weeding in your thought sphere” and only think positive and happy thoughts. Be careful about what you think – because you attract it….
The magic of life really dawns on you when you understand how the law of attraction works. Once you consciously start to work with your thoughts, so that you focus on the aspects that you want and desire, then you have taken a major step in the direction of mastering your life. And there is not a shadow of a doubt that the law works. The more you concentrate on positive thinking, the more positive things will happen in your life. This is not just wishful thinking, but sheer physics. Negative thoughts vibrate on a completely different wavelength than positive thoughts, and with the vibration you send out, you attract wavelengths from the universe that are a vibrational match to your own wavelength. Happy and positive thoughts attract happy and positive vibrations from the universe, and negative and pissed off thoughts plus worry and pessimism attract negative vibrations – and those negative vibrations can induce illness and ill health.
In ”The Art of Attraction” the physical laws behind the workings of the law of attraction are explained, and you get a lot of advise about how to become a better attractor of what you want. The book underlines the enormous power of thought, because we are what we think. It is our thoughts that have determined where we live, who we are with, what we do and also our relationship to our surroundings. And it is also our thoughts that constitute the most important factor in our health, because with thoughts of illness, pessimism and worry we attract negative vibrations and consequently ill health. Today the power of thoughts in connection with healing is becoming more and more recognized, also within the field of traditional medicine, so there is every reason to practise positive thinking. It can save your life...
The book also points out that we are the ones who decide what we think. This is a very important point. We decide which thoughts are being thought in our heads– nobody else does. If a thought isn’t pleasing to us, we can just let it go and think about something pleasing instead. We have the world’s best ”built in” measuring device to determine if a thought is good and appropriate or bad and inappropriate: our emotional guidance system. If a certain thought makes us feel bad, then the emotional guidance system has passed verdict, and it means that we should immediately throw that thought overboard and find another thought to focus on. When we feel discomfort around a certain type of thought, be it illness, worry, terrorism or politics, then there is every reason to ”change channels” and find a thought that gives us positive feelings. We have millions of thoughts on millions of wavelengths at our disposal, so why linger on the ones that make us feel bad? The book gives lots of instructions about how to become good at choosing your thoughts, and the better you get at choosing positive thoughts the more happiness and joy will you attract. Because what you focus on and what you attract and what manifests in your life is always a match – every time, no exception.
Does it sound too simple? Then read the book and try for yourself. It is guaranteed to work because the law of attraction is the most powerful natural law of the universe. And you can make it work for you!
This is what the press wrote:”Else Byskov’s book is very easy to read and it has many good and diverse arguments that urge you to start improving your mix of thoughts. It is a book that reveals both humour and insight, so you become both happier and wiser by reading it.
This blog is a forum for understanding the logic of post mortem survival. There is no death, only an exchange of bodies - from a physical one to a spiritual one.

Detox your thoughts - now!
Detox your thoughts – now!
It is becoming more and more evident that our thoughts are an important factor in our health. This is no longer something that is only valid within the field of alternative health care – even at hospitals you are now told to think positively about your own healing in order to speed up your recovery. And it helps! There is no longer any doubt that positive thoughts and visualizations can enhance our health.
According to Martinus, the Danish visionary, our thoughts are not just important – they are THE most important factor in our health. Our thoughts have the power to kill us or to make us lead healthy lives.
Our thoughts are electromagnetic radiation and with this stream of energy we magnetize our body. When we magnetize our body with happy and positive thoughts this has a good effect on our general health. With happy thoughts we simply send “good vibes” into our body and this will enhance the immune system and make us stronger, fitter and more radiant.
When we magnetize our body with pessimistic thoughts, then this negative energy will also affect the body. But in this case the result will be fatigue, proneness to illnesses, pessimism and even depression. We simply undermine our health with negative thoughts.
What kind of thoughts should we avoid then? Well, these would be the most toxic thoughts: worry, envy, hatred, revenge, jealousy, greed, disdain, self-depreciation, self-hatred, irritation, anger, pessimism and unlove. We would do our health a favor if we could detox our thought sphere of those thoughts.
But how can we do that? Where is the delete button for our thoughts? Well – there is no delete button for thoughts, because even if we shout “NO” to a thought, it is still predominant “in there”. The only way to get rid of unwanted thoughts is to find a happy replacement thought and put that at the forefront of our thought sphere.
A replacement thought could be a vision of yourself in the most desirable position that you can think of: you have just won a million dollars, been crowned a beauty queen, won the Nobel prize, won the Tour de France, won an Oscar, won a trip around the world, published a bestseller, regained your health, run a marathon, climbed the Matterhorn, established a successful business etc. Make a replacement thought that reflects your highest desire and your deepest wishes, and have this though ready in your mind.
Now, when a pessimistic and depressing though crops up, then you send it packing to Siberia where it belongs with the happy replacement thought. Once you have practiced this for a few days, the toxic thoughts start getting tired of the game and eventually they pack in and stop cropping up. Your thoughts sphere will then be dominated by happy and positive thoughts – you have then simply performed a thought detox. And it won´t be long before you can see the effects: improved health, improved circumstances and improved finances. With happy thoughts you simply attract all the things you have ever dreamed about. The law of attraction sees to that, because: as you think you vibrate and as you vibrate you attract.
So why wait? Start your thought detox today.
You will then not only have helped yourself, but you will be a positive light in the world and your “good vibes” will spread out to others and help raise the energy level of the whole planet.

The first shall be last, the last first
The first shall be last, the last first.
Many hard core materialistic scientists are adamant in telling us that our consciousness is a product of chemical processes in the brain, that the near-death experience is just a figment of a contorted imagination, that death is the final outcome of life and that we only live one life. Then our consciousness is extinguished and that is it. Finito. They know better and they readily ridicule those who have a larger perspective and a different view than theirs.
However, as none of the above has ever been proved, those who adhere to these theories are pure believers. They believe in something that they cannot prove. They are not the levelheaded scientists that they claim to be.
Today many, many people are open to a new way of seeing the world. The evidence for the survival of conscience is growing every day and more and more results from serious research into past life recall and reincarnation is putting a new way of looking upon the world on the agenda.
Many people have trouble believing in reincarnation because they say that there is no comprehensive philosophy that explains the larger perspective comprising many lives on Earth. But that is not true. A complete comprehensive philosophy comprising both the physical and the spiritual levels of existence has been presented by the Danish 20th century visionary Martinus. My 4 books about Martinus’ fabulous, logical and beautiful world picture all explain why reincarnation is much more than just a belief. A new world picture is emerging and in time it will topple the old.
The future belongs to those who can see beyond the physical plane and who are open to a new way of seeing the world: a larger perspective full of logic, beauty and love. In order to be open for a new way of seeing the world our intuition has to have been awakened. If your intuitive ability is still asleep, you will be closed-minded.
Our intuitive ability is awakened on the strength of our experiences and sufferings in former lives. When we have learned humility and no longer think that we already know it all, then we become open for a new and much larger perspective on life, death and the mystery of both.
Those whose intuitive ability has been awakened are often not so “fancy people”. They don’t hold high positions, they are not professors or dons, they don’t flash jewelry around or drive fancy cars. They don’t want to show off or impress others with their money, intelligence or wit. They are humble people. They are “the last” – and they will be the first to see that there is more to life than just a single lifetime. They are the ones that are awakening.
The “first” are all those who think they already know it all. They are the self-important scientists and all the high members of the clergy: the Pope, the cardinals, the priests and the high and mighty. They have not yet learned humility and they are still fast asleep. Their intuition is still dormant. They will be the last to see and accept that a new world order is about to topple the old. They will be the last to see that the universe is a much more magical place than they had ever imagined.

The One-life Theory Sucks
The One-life Theory Sucks
Else Byskov
Today many, many people believe we only live once. Those who adhere to the one-life theory are mainly supporters of a purely materialistic worldview, and they think that their predominantly atheist and godless way of seeing things is far superior and far more scientific than anything that has to do with a spiritual outlook on life. And yet the one-life theory has never been proved scientifically. It is, at best, only half a theory. It is an unproven claim that we only live one life. Nobody has ever been able to come up with hard-core scientific proof that our consciousness is extinguished at death.
When the one-life theory has never been proved it is nothing but a belief. So those who adhere to the one-life theory are the true believers, as they believe in something that has never been proved.
On the other hand there is a growing amount of evidence for the claim that our consciousness survives the death of the physical body and that reincarnation is much more than a belief. Serious research is taking place at universities in both Europe and the USA into phenomena that suggest that our consciousness survives the death of the body such as the near-death experience, children that remember past lives, regression therapy, after-death communication, death-bed visions and afterlife experiments. The evidence for the survival of consciousness is growing every day, whereas those who adhere to the one-life theory are still standing empty handed when it comes to proving their claim. Please see my website www.deathisanillusion.com or my book “The Undiscovered Country” for a more detailed presentation of the evidence for life after death.
The one-life theory is really based on a limited understanding of what matter is. The one-life theory walks hand in hand with the idea that only what can be seen and touched is real. This way of envisaging the world limits the scope of existence to that which is visible and palpable, and it is sometimes referred to as “the sticks and stones view” of the world. It excludes the possibility that invisible “stuff” can exist. This view is clearly going to be short-lived, because nobody who lives in the western world today can be ignorant of the fact that “matter” exists in the shape of invisible rays and waves. We make use of these invisible rays and waves every day when we receive television and radio, when we speak in our mobile phones and receive wireless Internet, so claiming that invisible “matter” does not exist is simply an expression of ignorance. It is an outdated view based on ignorance about electromagnetic radiation, and it is tantamount to claiming that the Earth is flat. It is totally out of touch with the reality we are all living in.
So what does the existence of electromagnetic radiation have to do with the one-life theory? What does it have to do with life after death and reincarnation? It has everything to do with it, because once we have realized that the world cannot be reduced to what we can see and touch, and once it becomes clear that “matter” can exist in forms that are both invisible and impalpable, then we have to expand our worldview. There is much more to the world than meets the eye, and the rays and waves of the electromagnetic spectrum do not only comprise radio, television, X rays and micro waves but a whole range of rays and waves that we do not yet know about. We are only using a fraction of the wavelengths and frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum for our transmission purposes, but the rays and waves exist in inexhaustible numbers and a very important characteristic of the waves and rays is that they can carry information. Information is whirling all around us in the shape of the electromagnetic radiation that entertains us and helps us communicate with each other.
We have only just landed on the shores of the enormous continent that consists of electromagnetic radiation, and even though we have harvested a beneficial crop from the shores, we have not yet ventured inland into this huge realm. There is so much more to explore and we are only just beginning.
One thing that the existence of invisible “matter” means is that we have to be open to the idea that our physical body is not the only body that we have. It is actually so that we have a body consisting of electromagnetic radiation in addition to our physical body. This means that we have a solid, physical body that we can see and touch plus a much more ethereal body that is not visible. The ethereal body sits as an electromagnetic field around the physical body (all living beings have such an energy body), and as this electrical field is measurable, its existence cannot be refuted. We can simply measure that an electric field is in existence around our physical body. This field is sometimes referred to as our aura, and it is an electrical reality. Its existence is factual because we can measure that it is there.
It is this field that holds the key to an understanding of life after death. The field consists of electromagnetic radiation and it holds our consciousness. Our consciousness is not limited to the brain as has hitherto been believed, but it surrounds and penetrates the body as a field of energy. The energy field holds all the information about our “I”; it holds our thoughts and talents, our personality and mindset, our intelligence and morals, our whole self. All these aspects of who we are, are embedded in the electromagnetic rays and waves as information, and they are electrical in their nature. Our consciousness is an electrical reality and it holds both information and force. All types of electricity contain force. The force in our electrical field is identical to our life force. This means that the force of our consciousness is identical to our life force and it holds all the information about who we are. This information is not based in the genes, but it is a result of experiences that we have gathered over a whole number of lives. We cannot come to any conclusive understanding of who we are without taking our former lives into consideration, because everything that we are is a result of what we have done, learnt and experienced in former lives. All this information is accumulated in the field which holds an unlimited capacity for storage of information.
Our consciousness in the shape of our energy field or aura holds our life-force and “I”, and when the physical body is rendered useless through injury, illness or old age, the consciousness cum life-force pulls out of the now useless instrument – our physical body. But because the consciousness consists of a type of matter that is unaffected by all kinds of physical injury, it is just as intact as it was when it was still connected to a physical body. As the consciousness holds all information of the particular individual that I call me, I am still exactly the same as I was when I still had a physical body. There is no difference, and all those who have had a near-death experience confirm that they were exactly the same after they had left their physical body. This means that there is no death – what we see as death is just a change of focus on part of our consciousness. Our consciousness goes from being focused in our physical body to being focused in our energy field or spirit body. Death is an illusion and we are eternal being because the essential core of our being consists of something that is indestructible: energy.
We have to understand that we are so much more than mere physical bodies and when we realize that we have an energy body in addition to our physical body, and when we know that the world cannot be reduced to “the sticks and stones view”, then the sky is no longer the limit. There is much more to the world that what we can see and touch, and the exploration of the undiscovered continent of the rays and waves of the electromagnetic spectrum opens a whole new horizon that we are only just beginning to see.
The shortcomings of the one-life theory are many: it hasn’t been proved, it cannot explain the growing amount of evidence for post-mortem survival, it cannot explain where our talents and morals come from, it cannot explain our fates and why some people live happy lives whereas others live in misery, it cannot explain where we are coming from and where we are going, it cannot explain the mystery of life and it certainly cannot explain the meaning of it all. It will not do as an explanatory model for the future. In other words: it sucks.
What all this means for our worldview and our understanding of who we are and where we go when we pass over has been explored in my books “The Undiscovered Country”, “Death Is an Illusion” and “Ten Great Ways to Understand the World - The Larger Perspective on the Leading Edge of Thought” – all available on Amazon.

The Human Consciousness Project
The Human Consciousness Project
By Else Byskov, author
According to our spiritual masters death holds the greatest possible surprise to man: there is no death. This, however, is exceedingly difficult to accept by the modern, intellectual individual, who wants scientific proof for the claim. Consequently many people living in the western world today believe that we only live one life. They are convinced that our consciousness will simply cease to exist when we have drawn our last breath. Very few people believe that we will ever be able to come up with conclusive proof that our consciousness survives the death of the physical body. They think that this is just superstition or wishful thinking.
However, there is a growing body of evidence in the empirical world that does not fit with the one-life theory. Among this evidence the near-death experience is probably the best known, and this intriguing phenomenon has been the subject of scientific scrutiny for various decades now. To begin with those who had experienced being alive outside their body were met with disbelief and sometimes ridicule, but now they are finally being taken seriously. A large scale research project named “The Human Consciousness Project” has been established by the Nour Foundation, which is a public charitable and nongovernmental organization in special consultative status to the United Nations. The project involves leading scientists in the field of consciousness studies from the USA, Europe and Canada, and its aim is to come up with conclusive evidence that our consciousness can exist independently of the physical body.
This is a controversial idea, as the general view has been that our consciousness is just a by-product of electrochemical activity within the brain. This has been the accepted view, notwithstanding the lack of any scientific evidence or even a plausible biological explanation as to how the brain would lead to the development of mind and consciousness. Nevertheless, the generally accepted view is that consciousness is a by-product of brain activity. However, this view is now being questioned because it seems that consciousness can exist independently of the brain. Consciousness could be a self-sustained unit and this assumption is based on the observation that many near-death experiencers have been able to observe objects and goings-on in an out-of-body state. In spite of the fact that their body was declared clinically dead on the operating table, they were able to observe what was going on in the space surrounding the body. After resuscitation the near-death experiencer would for instance point out that she had observed a particular object on top of a cupboard in an adjacent room. Or she would know what her family members waiting in the corridor were wearing. When the medical staff went to check, they did indeed find the exact object in the described location or the precise garment worn by the family member. The patient had been able to see this while she was flat on her back with no vital signs.
Because we are now able to resuscitate people with cardiac arrest, there is a growing number of people who report lucid, well-structured thought processes while their body is clinically dead. It has been established that 10-12 % of all people who have been resuscitated following a cardiac arrest report that they were alive in a body of a much lighter and finer type of matter than their physical body. They found that the experience of being dead was exceedingly pleasant – so pleasant that they were very reluctant to return to the body.
It is the observation of particular objects placed above the range of normal vision that is key in the “Human Consciousness Project”. The idea is to place various objects in and around resuscitation rooms in places that are only visible from just below the ceiling. If the person with cardiac arrest is able to observe and describe the object, then this indicates that consciousness survives the death of the body and that it can exist independently of the physical organism. It will eventually mean that we will be taking the first steps towards scientifically proving that death is an illusion.
This is, of course, what our spiritual masters have been telling us all along, but as many modern people are more comfortable with the scientific approach, it seems that we are getting closer to the point where spirituality and science can finally link up and join hands.
The near-death experience is not the only type of evidence for the survival of consciousness. Other important fields of research are: children that remember past lives, after death communication, regression therapy, death bed visions and the afterlife experiments. The evidence for life after death is growing every day whereas there is no evidence for the one-life theory. Today we can say that those who claim that death is the end of life are the true believers. They believe in something that cannot be proved and that has no support in the empirical world. Nobody has ever been able to prove that our consciousness is extinguished at death. On the other hand the evidence pointing out that death is not the end grows on a daily basis.
The key to an understanding of how consciousness can survive the death of the body is to realize that it is not only physical matter that is real. Matter also exists in the shape of invisible rays and waves. These have been defined in the electromagnetic spectrum, and it is this type of matter that we make use of when we talk on our mobile phones, receive television, radio and wireless internet. As we make use of this type of matter every day it is pointless to claim that invisible matter does not exist. It is also in this type of ray-formed matter that our consciousness exists in the shape of an energy field that sits in and around the physical body. The field holds our “I” and all the characteristics of who we are, and we are just as alive and kicking without a physical body as we are with it. What we see as death is just a passing from one state of matter to another. When we die, our energy field pulls out of the body, but as our consciousness and self consists of energy, it goes on existing in exactly the same way as the electricity that lit up our lamp goes on existing after we have turned the lamp off. Energy cannot cease to exist. We are eternal beings because everything that makes us into the person we are sits in our consciousness in the shape of our energy field or aura. It is this entity that survives the death of the body. The physical body can be defined as an instrument for the consciousness forces of the “I”. Death is an illusion.

By Else Byskov, author
According to our spiritual masters death holds the greatest possible surprise to man: there is no death. This, however, is exceedingly difficult to accept by the modern, intellectual individual, who wants scientific proof for the claim. Consequently many people living in the western world today believe that we only live one life. They are convinced that our consciousness will simply cease to exist when we have drawn our last breath. Very few people believe that we will ever be able to come up with conclusive proof that our consciousness survives the death of the physical body. They think that this is just superstition or wishful thinking.
However, there is a growing body of evidence in the empirical world that does not fit with the one-life theory. Among this evidence the near-death experience is probably the best known, and this intriguing phenomenon has been the subject of scientific scrutiny for various decades now. To begin with those who had experienced being alive outside their body were met with disbelief and sometimes ridicule, but now they are finally being taken seriously. A large scale research project named “The Human Consciousness Project” has been established by the Nour Foundation, which is a public charitable and nongovernmental organization in special consultative status to the United Nations. The project involves leading scientists in the field of consciousness studies from the USA, Europe and Canada, and its aim is to come up with conclusive evidence that our consciousness can exist independently of the physical body.
This is a controversial idea, as the general view has been that our consciousness is just a by-product of electrochemical activity within the brain. This has been the accepted view, notwithstanding the lack of any scientific evidence or even a plausible biological explanation as to how the brain would lead to the development of mind and consciousness. Nevertheless, the generally accepted view is that consciousness is a by-product of brain activity. However, this view is now being questioned because it seems that consciousness can exist independently of the brain. Consciousness could be a self-sustained unit and this assumption is based on the observation that many near-death experiencers have been able to observe objects and goings-on in an out-of-body state. In spite of the fact that their body was declared clinically dead on the operating table, they were able to observe what was going on in the space surrounding the body.

Finding Answers to the Question of Post-mortem Survival
Prologue to “The Undiscovered Country”.
Finding answers to the question of post-mortem survival.
Is this life all there is? Is one life all we’re getting or is there life after death? The latest research results certainly suggest that life continues in some other form after death and that reincarnation is much more than a religious belief. This book presents data from the latest research into the question of the survival of consciousness and offers logical and rational arguments supporting the idea that there is nothing final about death.
When I had finished writing my first book “DEATH IS AN ILLUSION- A Logical Explanation Based on Martinus’ Worldview” (published in 2002), I had so much material left over that another book was called for. In “Death Is an Illusion” I present a general introduction to the work of the Danish spiritual intuitive Martinus and his fascinating world picture, and although the book explains why death is not the end, it does not specifically focus on the factual evidence for this claim. It is the evidence for post-mortem survival that is the focus in “The Undiscovered Country”. In connection with the writing of “Death Is an Illusion” I researched a large number of titles by contemporary scientists such as Kenneth Ring Ph.D., Ian Stevenson M.D, Brian Weiss M.D., Roger Woolger Ph.D., Elisabeth Kübler Ross M.D., Erlendur Haraldsson Ph.D., Peter Fenwick Ph.D., Gary E. Schwartz Ph.D., Pim van Lommel Ph.D., Joel L. Whitton M.D. Ph.D., Edith Fiore, M.D, and many more. All this research reveals evidence that death is not the end, and it constitutes the sources from which I draw in this book. The research also puts forward the idea that the death of the physical body does not mean the cessation of consciousness, and that indeed our core being, our “I”, is as alive and well without the physical body as with it. Our “I” simply does not die.
Not only does this book present the scientific evidence for the survival of consciousness, it also explores the very question of the nature of consciousness. When one delves into the question of what consciousness is, one will eventually come to the conclusion that consciousness is everywhere. Not only is death an illusion for the individual, but it also is for what we regard as dead matter. Life, not death, rules supreme. Life, not death, permeates the universe. We are, indeed, alive in a living, conscious universe.
The theoretical foundation for these claims rests on the logical explanations offered by the Danish spiritual intuitive and mystic Martinus. The empirical evidence for the survival of consciousness presented by the above mentioned scientists and the theory put forward by Martinus support and confirm each other perfectly, and taken together they present a very strong support for the idea that our consciousness, or soul if you like, survives the death of the physical body. However, this is not a religious book in any traditional sense, and I’m not trying to convert anybody to any type of belief system. All I want to do is to show the reader the sheer amount of evidence that supports the idea that our consciousness or “I” survives death. This evidence is not only highly interesting and encouraging, but also very comforting for those who may be afraid to die. Believe me, death is “just” a passage from one form of existence to another, and if we are to believe those who have actually died, the so-called near-death experiencers, being “dead” is something exceedingly pleasant, and something that we should look forward to with comfort and anticipation. You may think that I’m exaggerating, but I’m not – and this book will convince you that death is an illusion.
And also, of course, I want to present core ideas from Martinus’ cornucopia of spiritual treasures, because his fantastic work has been and still is the great passion of my life. My life changed focus completely when in 1995 I chanced upon his work. From having been an atheist for more than 30 years I became a person who could suddenly see something much grander than a dead universe ruled by chaos and chance. I cannot say that I became a believer, because I do not subscribe to any established religion, but I became able to see that there simply had to be a spiritual level of wisdom beyond the physical world. There had to be a universal intelligence somewhere that had made all this possible. Believing that everything had come into existence by mere chance, random selection and accidental mutations became to me an impossible idea. It became self-evident that creation cannot be done without intelligent planning, and because all the evidence for intelligent planning is out there, I had a strong urge to focus on it and make its existence obvious to more people. With its unwavering logic and extraordinary revelations Martinus’ work deserves a much more central role in today’s belief-system discussions, and this book will convince you that spirituality and science can link up, hold hands, and together constitute a much-needed basis for a revision of our traditional way of interpreting life, death and the mystery of both.
So, if you feel that there is more to the world than meets the eye, if you feel drawn to a perception of the world with a stronger focus on spirituality, if you feel there has to be more to life than just these few years on Earth, if you feel that you want to explore the question of the survival of consciousness and the non-existence of death, and if you want to become acquainted with the work of the great mystic Martinus, then you should read this book. And… please be prepared to accept the idea that life never ends. Death is not what it seems. It most certainly isn’t over when the fat lady sings.
“When a living being believes that he is identical to physical matter he is subject to the biggest illusion that exists” Martinus.

A Logical New World View in Ten Easy Steps
A Logical, New World View in Ten Easy Steps
The book “Ten Great Ways to Understand the World – the Larger Perspective on the Leading Edge of Thought” by Else Byskov is out now on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. A Danish version is out on Saxo.com
Have you ever worried about the future of the world? Have you wondered where we are going and what it is all coming to? Have you been looking for logical answers to the big questions without finding them? Then look no further.”Ten Great Ways…” presents a new, appetizing, logical and positive way to understand the world.
The book introduces an alternative to the materialistic world view that is currently the one most people adhere to. This new way to understand the world argues that we are on our way towards a world where there will be no more war, terrorism, social unrest, unhappy fates and doomsday visions. This change will come about as a result of a constant refinement of our consciousness based on our reaping of experiences over many incarnations.
Today the one life theory, which the majority of people in the western world still adhere to, is being undermined by a growing body of evidence that death is not the end and that we have lived before and will live again. In tune with the emergence of this evidence (which is presented in the book) we will soon have to revise our old world view and include a spiritual level of existence in our way of envisaging the world. It is becoming increasingly clear that invisible, intangible matter exists in the shape of the rays and waves of the electromagnetic spectrum, and this simple fact tells us that the world does not end where visible and tangible matter ends. There is much more and we cannot come to any conclusive theory about the world as long as we do not take a spiritual level into account. With the realization of the existence of spirit comes a need to see the world in a new light and in a much larger perspective.
“Ten Great Ways…” presents 10 highly plausible, positive and holistic ways to understand the world, and these ways encompass the indispensible existence of an intelligent creator, the existence of spirit, the necessity of reincarnation, the secret to the creation of our fates, the importance of the law of attraction, the immortality of all living beings and the evidence supporting the idea that we are inhabiting a living planet in a living universe where we are all one.
If you want to see the bigger picture in a non-religious and convincing way then read the mind-blowing book “Ten Great Ways to Understand the World – the Larger Perspective on the Leading Edge of Thought” by Else Byskov.
