«The Final Appeal to Mankind» by Nicolai Levashov
Compounding the problem, man in his ignorance and contempt has seriously disrupted
nature's balance, causing the extinction of thousands of living species and the outbreak
of lethal epidemics such as AIDS. How did this all come about?
At a certain crossroads on the path of his evolutionary journey, man took a wrong turn.
As Socrates observed, “To know the world, you must first know yourself.” People took
no notice of this advice, but tried to master knowledge of the universe without the
necessary prior knowledge of themselves. And thus their descendants, following in
their footsteps, arrived at the present impasse.
No knowledge can ever be absolute, but one path can lead towards the truth, while the
other leads away from it, despite their sharing a common starting point. How can one
tell which leads where?
When man first tried to grasp the nature of the universe, his mind could not fathom the
profusion of questions flooding him all at once. He then filled the gaps in his
knowledge with axioms and postulates that allowed him to construct a working model
of the universe. Had he pursued the correct path of knowledge, this model of the
universe would have led him to a new and higher level of understanding, rending aside
the veil of mystery from the unknown. This, in turn, would have made for an ever-
deepening and fuller grasp of the universe.
In other words, had man pursued the correct path of knowledge, his expanding
awareness would have left fewer gaps in his understanding and less need for filling
them in with theoretical constructs. By contrast, his pursuit of the erroneous path gave
rise to more and more theoretical gaps, a state of affairs which should serve as a
warning. Modern science has more gaps than ever before and understands even less
now about the fundamentals of nature, as shown by the fact that increasing amounts of
experimental data tend to contradict what we have accepted as the basic laws of biology
and physics; modern science is frightened to find itself on the brink of an abyss.
In medieval times, religion was the persecutor of science. For many years man fought
for science’s survival and finally triumphed. It would be a consummate tragedy if now
modern science became the Grand Inquisitor of the New Knowledge — the new and
deeper grasp of nature and natural law. This book, The Final Appeal to Mankind, is
a beginning “alphabet” and “grammar” of the New Knowledge. It embodies
answers to such questions as the nature and origin of the Earth; the structure and
function of the seven planetary layers and why there are only seven; the riddle of
biogenesis and the laws of evolution. You will come to know the origin of intelligence,
the time of its emergence, and its essential characteristics; how mankind came to exist
upon this planet; the great enigma of life and death, and what transpires after death.
You will also come to grasp the unity between microcosm and macrocosm, fathom the
mystery of the black holes, the history and destiny of man, the nature of the universe
and much, much more. The information offered here is neither mysticism nor science
