Martinus has made a series of symbols that use colours and figures to illustrate life’s eternal, spiritual laws and principles. The symbol above shows Martinus’ main symbol of the eternal world picture.
See the symbol with explanation.
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.
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 core of Martinus’ works is Livets Bog (The Book of Life) in 7 volumes and The Eternal World Picture in 4 volumes. The latter contains 44 symbols with explanations. He has also written a series of other books and a large number of articles.
To study Martinus' analyses one does not have to join any kind of organisation - they are openly available to everyone. The Martinus Institute has the responsibility to translate, publish and provide information about Martinus’ works.
