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 is educated as a physicist. During his years as a student, he became very sceptic of the philosophies of quantum mechanics and relativity, and this has resulted in the book The Two Layers of Physics. He became a teacher in the Danish equivalent of grammar school, but soon suffered a severe mental crisis. Having previously been a convinced atheist, he now became open to the spiritual sides of existence. After years of studies and speculation, this has led to the present theoretical work.
