Nicolai Levashov. Spirit and mind. Vol.1

Do past lives really exist — and if so, why do most of us have no knowledge or
recollection of them? What, actually, is memory? How do we record, store, and
access from memory something meaningful to us but long forgotten?

And what is the brain, per se, and how does it work? How do our brain cells

receive and store information from the outside world?

How do we perceive and sense the surrounding world? What, in essence, are our
feelings and emotions? Are we able to understand the phenomenon of love feelings
and how they arise in the depths of our soul?

Can we attribute them merely to sexual attraction with which Mother Nature has
seen fit to endow us? If it is merely that, how can we explain why a man may feel the

stirrings of love only for a specific woman — and not just for anybody he may
chance to meet on the street, in the work place, while traveling or theater-going?

If it is something other than just physical attraction, what is it — and why can
love disappear or turn to complete indifference — or even mutual hatred at times?
As for human personality — how does one develop a particular psychic
organization and character? Why does one person have great will power while
another, weak individual, is totally devoid of it? How do the different types of
psychic organization evolve and why, in a given individual, may the psychic type

change in the course of one's lifetime?

How does homosexuality originate?
And intuition — what is it? Where does the "spontaneous knowing" that we
experience come from and why do we receive it?

So many questions arise in our conscious mind, but how can we construe the
conscious and subconscious per se?
How do we acquire the ability to think and what is the process of thinking? All
these questions arise in our brain and require answers if we wish to regard ourselves

as truly intelligent beings. Yet one question looms largely and eclipses all the others
— the matter of our Soul, our Spirit.

Where do our souls come from; why do we possess them and where do they go
when we die? What befalls them in heaven or hell, and for what sins are they

returned back to Earth?!
Does our life have a purpose — or is it merely a brief and evanescent moment
between past and future...?
