Martinus (1890-1981) was born in Sindal, a small town in the north of Jutland, Denmark. After finishing his schooling he earned a living in various subordinate positions until 1921,

when he began his work with spiritual science, which spanned the following 60 years. Martinus refers to the event that triggered his spiritual work in Livets Bog (The Book of Life), vol. 1: The cosmic baptism of fire through which I had passed ... had thus released in me entirely new sensory abilities, abilities which enabled me not in glimpses but on the contrary in a permanent state of awake day-consciousness to apprehend all main spiritual forces, invisible causes, eternal world laws, basic energies and basic principles behind the physical world. The mystery of existence was therefore no longer a mystery to me.

The seven volumes of Livets Bog (The Book of Life) together constitute Martinus main work. Livets Bog contains cosmic analyses that describe in depth the eternal structure, principles and laws of life. Martinus supplemented his main work by writing The Eternal World Picture (books of symbols), Logic, On Funerals, Christianity Intellectualised, Collected Articles 1 as well as 28 shorter books and about 200 articles. The Eternal World Picture, vol. 1-6 contains concentrated conclusions drawn from analyses and are accompanied by 100 symbols that are intended to give the reader an easily accessible overview of the cosmic structure of the universe. Martinus works fill thousands of pages and are collectively entitled The Third Testament.
