Martinus and the Eternal World Picture

MartinusWiki is an English reference work about Martinus (1890–1981), the Danish spiritual philosopher and the Eternal World Picture that presents his analyses of consciousness, life, evolution, and the universe. Explore source-grounded articles about Martinus's cosmology and philosophy, from the nature of the self to the development of humaneness and universal love.

Start with the worldview

The central concepts of Martinus's world picture are connected through the triune analysis:

Godhead — the totality of life and consciousness
X1 — the experiencing or eternal self
X2 — the creative faculty and principle
X3 — the created and experienced world
The Living Being — the individual expression of the eternal triune principle

X1, X2, and X3 are best understood together. They describe the relationship between the eternal self, its creative faculty, and the world of experience.

Explore key concepts

Basic energies and the development of consciousness
Cosmic Consciousness and Superconsciousness
Karma, Reincarnation, and the law of cause and effect
Suffering, Humaneness, and Universal love
The Spiral Cycle and the evolution of living beings

-In Martinus's analyses, karma is the law of cause and effect in a living being's fate. In the published English translation of ''Livets Bog 4'', he calls the return of fate a "mirror principle" — neither a principle of punishment nor, in an absolute sense, revenge. Martinus connects karma with [[Reincarnation|reincarnation]], since the results of earlier experience and activity can remain active beyond one physical life.
