Do you believe in souls, spirits, God, and perhaps even reincarnation? The author does, and he presents a compelling case for his beliefs through his model of consciousness. According to this model, there exists a state of elementary consciousness at every point in space, which he terms the ‘C-layer.’ Souls and spirits are conceptualized as closed systems within this layer, while God is identified with the entirety of the infinite C-layer.

The author finds empirical evidence for his ideas in phenomena such as near-death experiences, hypnotic regressions to past lives, young children recalling previous identities, mystical revelations, and transcendental LSD experiences. These topics are explored in detail throughout the book.

But if you believe in God, does it necessarily follow that He intervenes in the material world – the ‘M-layer’? Not necessarily, but after careful examination of the evidence, the author concludes that God indeed interacts with the material world, particularly in relation to organic evolution. He hypothesizes that God constructs models within the C-layer, which serve as molds for the development of organisms. This concept is strongly inspired by Rupert Sheldrake’s theory of morphic resonance, which is also discussed extensively in the book.

By the end of this thought-provoking work, you may find yourself, like the author, convinced not only of God’s existence but also of His integral role in shaping the foundation of everyday life.

Peter Pedersen was born in 1949 in Jutland, Denmark. He quickly became an avid reader and developed an interest in the sciences. He studied at Aarhus University, but became increasingly dissatisfied with quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. As a consequence, he had neither opportunity to nor interest in pursuing a university career after his final exams in physics and astronomy. Instead, he became for some years a teacher in the Danish equivalent of grammar school or high school. He has continued his experimental and theoretical studies of physics, and the results can be found in this book.
