The souls of mankind and of all living creatures that inhabit the Earth — where
do they come from and where do they go after death...? And what, actually, is a soul

or spirit? How do souls appear and what do they signify? Is a soul material, and, if
so, what kind of substance is it made of? And why are so many people incapable of
seeing it, hearing it, or perceiving it in any way?

Perhaps it is just an illusion we are all eager to believe in. The mere notion that,
with the physical death of the body, we lose all our thoughts and feelings, all our
discoveries, great or small, but still our own — and all our revelations — drowns us
in a sea of deadly melancholy.

Is that why we try to conjure up beguiling fantasies -just to quell the fear of
death that lies within our soul? But is this the only source of our desire to know what
awaits us in the hereafter?
And, aside from that — are there many people who are even capable of feeling
or seeing radio waves or any other forms of radiation? I think not. And only thanks to
invented devices does the invisible become visible and tangible. But these devices

merely compensate for our limited ability to perceive reality through our senses.

In essence, the problem lies in the imperfection and limitations of our
senses — rendering selective and limited the input bombarding our brain from
the surrounding world. For example, our eyes can see only the optical radiation of
our star, the sun, [(4-10)10 m] comprising less than one percent of the total radiation
-8
in our surrounding space. And we base this only on the data from our present-day
science. But what if this knowledge is limited?

In the recent past, two hundred years ago, no one suspected the existence of
radio waves or other forms of radiation. The mere notion would have seemed

heretical or absurd. Nevertheless, they existed long before man first appeared on
Earth; they have been here since the birth of the universe, the home of our solar
system.

If ninety-nine out of a hundred men are blind and only one can see, it does not
make him wrong if no one else perceives what he is seeing — even if everyone else's
eyes, feel just like his when touched. It would be far more fitting for the blind to try
recapturing their sight and viewing reality through their own eyes — no matter how
far-fetched their sighted comrades' observations seem. Or, failing this, find new
devices to help them see the now (to them) unseeable.

But how can the blind become sighted? Is it possible, in principle? Of course it

is! The only solution is for man to attain a totally new level of evolutionary
development.
