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.
