accumulated by mankind can give the human brain the ability to advance in its
evolution.

In attempting to give meaning to these phenomena, one may well ask: if the psi-fields

regulate processes within each species, in both normal and extreme conditions of
existence, what mechanisms, then, regulate processes taking place in the ecological
system as a whole?

Chapter 4. Formation of the ecological system of planet Earth

The first life appeared in the primeval ocean for a variety of reasons (Chapter 2). Most
crucial was the absorption and neutralization of lethal fractions of solar and
cosmic radiation by sea water. Of equal importance was the rich harvest of simple

and complex organic molecules, generated by atmospheric electrical discharge
from the existing concentration of inorganic molecules present in the sea.

The sea water was constantly being saturated by gases from the Earth’s primitive
atmosphere, an atmosphere consisting of large quantities of carbon dioxide, sulfurous
gases, nitrogen and hydrogen. These were the essential conditions for the beginning of
life. (See Chapter 2 for a detailed description of corresponding qualitative processes
which took place in the primal ocean).

After viruses, the first living organisms were simple monocellular organisms.
Through the process of photosynthesis these early life forms were able to absorb
the visible spectrum of the sun, thereby synthesizing within themselves the
organic compounds necessary for their vital activity. To achieve photosynthesis,
these primitive organisms harvested the needed organic compounds entirely from sea

water, where, as we noted above, they were created through atmospheric energy
discharge.

Photosynthesis is an evolutionary advance that gave an enormous impetus to the
development of life on the planet.

The first vegetable organisms — still very primitive — utilized only a fraction of the
sunlight radiating onto the ocean’s surface. Phytoplankton, for example, absorbs about
1.5– 2% of radiated sunlight. The growth rate of vegetable biomass is a function of its

Biological Eefficiency Factor (BEF).

Phytoplankton conquered the primitive ocean, which then became the home of the
simplest monocellular plants. During photosynthesis phytoplankton absorbed carbon
dioxide dissolved in sea water while concurrently releasing oxygen as a by-product. At
night (when photosynthesis was impossible), phytoplankton lived on the organic
compounds which were synthesized during the day.

These compounds served to replenish the organism and maintain its structural integrity
and activity. Additionally phytoplankton was able to break down organic compounds
and, in the process, (the opposite of photosynthesis), absorb the oxygen dissolved in
