The cosmos of hereditary material is a real world. All the laws of physics that you encounter every day apply within it as well. Sooner or later, beings will arise there who will wonder how that world came into existence and how it functions, what the purpose of its existence is, whether their own existence within it is an exception or a rule, and why the dear God allowed the suffering of those who believe and do good deeds. Their researchers and theorists will likewise be troubled by the fact that, due to the principle of uncertainty, events at the atomic level cannot be measured or predicted with precision. The limitations imposed by the mental abilities of those engaged in research and theory-building, the material capacity of society to support the increasingly expensive experiments they devise, and the destructive impulses of those who have seized power will, for them as well, bring into crisis the belief that they will, even in the distant future, come to understand the world in which they live.
Had you been born under the same conditions, you would differ little or not at all from your ancestors who lived several tens of thousands of years ago. Had the last Ice Age lasted until the time in which you live, something that in no way depended on your ancestors, none of my writing, nor your reading of this book, nor the influence of what is written in it on the beings who live in the invisible worlds would have happened!
Nor are the beings who currently live in the invisible world on your planam, your planamians, able to accelerate their evolutionary and cultural development by altering the climatic conditions that prevail on that planet, because those conditions are, among other things, the consequence of events related to your body and your spirit. They are an integral part of your reason, and only you can provide them with favorable conditions for the evolution of the physical structure of their bodies and brains. In their hereditary molecules (and in the hereditary molecules of the beings who live on their planams) are recorded all the changes in the spiritual component of the picture of the world that you have been building since your birth; and the physical structure of the planet on which they live, as well as the organic structure of their bodies and brains and their hereditary molecules, is your hereditary material, whose activity is influenced, among other things, by the current state of your body and brain and by the changes in the material and spiritual components of the reality in which you live. They are your “self” more than anything else that could bear that name. You are physically closer to each one of them than is any being from the world in which they live. Unaware of your existence, and of the existence of the planet on which you live and of the cosmos of which it is a part, they too will call an inspiration their insights into the necessity of the existence of “the other world” and of a supernatural being capable of creating everything that exists in the “Solar System” in which they live and determining what will happen within it, how, and when. If the inspiration of their “prophets” will, in essence, depend on you, conclude for yourself who you are, and what you are to them!
If you are not among the fortunate ones who understand (?!) how energy and matter are “two natures of one existence” (Energy = Matter), that is, if it is not clear to you what the theories of relativity and quantum theory are “telling” us, the only way for you to arrive at correct answers to those questions “on your own” is to try to explain to the beings who live in the invisible world on your planam, and that again means to yourself, the physical interconnectedness of their existence and yours. Among other things, this mental experiment requires you to imagine your own “physical presence” in the world in which your planamians live.
The beings who live in the invisible world on your planam have as much awareness of themselves and of the world in which they live as you have of them and of the world in which they live, namely – none. At present, none of these beings possesses a complex brain structure. This, however, does not mean that you cannot imagine and attempt to realize one among the many possible higher levels of development of their bodies, brains, and reason. I say possible because, regardless of your ability to exert a “supernatural” influence on their environment, their genomes, and their minds, the beings who live on your planam will never gain awareness of the existence of the invisible component of their own existence, nor of the existence of you, the “owner” of the matter and energy from which everything in the “Solar System” in which they live is built, both living and nonliving, both visible and invisible.
Your (imagined) “stay” in the invisible world on your own planam and your “interacting” with your planamians would allow you to realize what it was that made the reality in which they dwell almost incomprehensible both to the researchers living on that planet and to the researchers living on Earth. You would understand that this “something”, in both cases, was the lack of awareness of the existence of the cosmos in which is located the planet inhabited by the being whose organic structure of hereditary molecules, as energy, and whose linear genetic text encoded within them, as matter, constitute everything that exists in the Solar System in which they (the researchers who live on your planam or the researchers who live on Earth) live, including the planet they inhabit and all the beings that live on that planet.
In order to be able to think “seriously” about the creation and evolution of the cosmos in which you live, the planet on which you live, and the beings that live on that planet, you must firmly believe that, even in your own case, such a cosmos truly exists, and that it is physically connected with the cosmos in which you live in the same way that the cosmos in which you live is physically connected with the reality in which your planamians live (the invisible world, the cosmos of hereditary material). Events in those two truly existing worlds invisible to you (the cosmos in which your planamians live and the cosmos in which lives the being whose planam is called Earth, and who calls us, the Earthlings, its planamians) have, up until now, been influencing your life in an uncontrolled way. The book you are reading offers you the possibility to understand those influences and direct them to your advantage.
The path followed by researchers who seek to understand the reality in which they live, to comprehend how genes control the growth and form of a living being, and to grasp the true nature of human consciousness will remain a dead end as long as their research is not grounded in a firm conviction that living beings possess both a visible and an invisible component of their existence, and that every cosmos, including the one in which they live, is a cosmos of hereditary material. The same limitations will, of course, also apply to the researchers who, God willing, will soon be engaged in studies of the creation and evolution of the cosmos, the genome, and human consciousness within the invisible world. The persistent insistence of your planamians on the claim that the matter and energy from which everything that exists in the cosmos in which they live (the invisible world) is built were present there from the very moment of its creation, and that this cosmos is only two to three times older than the planet on which they live, as Earthlings currently claim, would render their efforts to make any significant advance in understanding the reality in which they live not only futile, but also childishly naïve. The cosmos of hereditary material in which they live is built from the hereditary material of all the beings that currently live on Earth, and they will be unable to recognize the traces of the existence of hundreds of millions of generations of ancestors of those beings in the otherwise inexplicable high degree of development of the physical structure of the cosmos in which they are located, of the planet on which they live, and of themselves. Because they will never possess awareness of the existence of invisible worlds, they will never learn that the relationship between the age of the “Solar System” within which they live and the cosmos of hereditary material in which it is situated is analogous to the relationship between your age and the age of the planet Earth. In their scientific theories there will never be room for “creation out of nothing”, because it will never occur to them that the creation and evolution of matter and energy in some part of the cosmos in which they live are the direct consequence of the birth of a being on Earth, and that they unfold according to a project encoded in the hereditary molecules of that being.
The probability that researchers who lack awareness of the existence of worlds invisible to them will succeed in deciphering how the cosmos in which they live and the planet Earth on which they live were created and evolved is equal to the probability that someone who believes that the beings currently living on that planet are only the second or third generation since the creation of life on it will succeed in understanding when and how those beings were created and in what way they evolved. To reduce the existence and evolution of all beings that have ever lived on Earth to merely a few hundred years is, of course, impossible; yet researchers would find it just as difficult to defend any other theory of the creation and evolution of living beings if, by some miracle, all traces of life on that planet older than a few hundred years were erased, and they themselves had no contact with other living beings except visual contact. These are precisely the conditions under which the inhabitants of Earth who possess consciousness of their own existence, until quite recently, formed their theories about the origin and evolution of the matter and energy that make up the cosmos of hereditary material in which they live. What they saw while observing the sky above them was nothing other than the invisible component of the existence of the hereditary material of all beings that were then living in some other cosmos on the planet inhabited by the being from whose hereditary material everything that exists in our Solar System is built, and of whose reason we, Earthlings, are an integral part.
Thanks to your simultaneous “presence” both “here” and “there”, you would be in a position to determine whether those researchers who live on Earth are right who claim that most events at the atomic level are neither conditioned nor caused by anything that belongs to the cosmos in which they live (?). I assume it would not take you long to realize that what will happen on your planam in the future cannot be fully determined by the knowledge your planamians possess in the present, for the simple reason that events related to the matter and energy of which the cosmos of hereditary material in which they live is composed are also influenced by events related to the physical structure of the bodies, brains, and hereditary molecules of the beings who currently live on Earth, and even by the reasons of those beings. You would thus understand that these are not random events, neither conditioned nor caused by anything, but rather the influence of “something” that truly exists outside the three spatial and one temporal dimensions of the cosmos of hereditary material, and that directly affects the course of events within them.
The missing link in the chain of cause and effect constructed by those who study events at the atomic level on Earth is called awareness of the existence of invisible worlds. They are unaware that the cosmos in which they live is a cosmos of hereditary material, and that what will happen on Earth in the future also depends on what will happen in the future within the body, brain, hereditary molecules, and the reason of the being from whose hereditary material it is built.
I hope it is now clear to you how far ahead of his time Planck was when he claimed that reality lies beyond what can be represented[1]. Dirac was no less “far-sighted” when he advised his fellow researchers to be ready at all times for the possibility that beliefs they had long held might be wrong[2]. I believe that even these two giants of human thought did not expect the changes in the understanding of the reality in which they lived to be as radical and all-encompassing as the changes that will be brought about by awareness of the existence of invisible worlds with which our cosmos and the beings that live within it are physically connected, but this in no way diminishes their genius.
The beings who live in the invisible world on my planam keenly feel the frequent changes in my body and mind caused by my way of life and by my reflections on invisible worlds. In order to atone, at least to some extent, for such behaviour, I will turn to the verses of Mak Dizdar.
“The earth is sown with a deadly seed
But death is no end
For death indeed is not
And has no end
For death is just a path
To rise from the nest to the skies with the blest”[3]
So there you have it, my dear planamians: whenever you find yourselves in doubt about how to act in a situation in which it may seem to you that, through my fault, you will not live to see the next day, “look” into your genomes and seek out the places where I have inscribed these verses of Mak Dizdar. All your problems will instantly become less important, for you will understand that the hardships I put you through had their meaning.
