3. Inside the brain cells, the ionic code imposes new, obligatory electron
links on the DNA molecules.

4. This results in a qualitative change in the structure of the DNA molecules.
5. Such qualitative changes in the DNA molecular structure are maintained
temporarily, after which the latter reverts to its initial state.
6. During its "life span," the ionic code forms an imprint of itself upon the

etheric level.
7. The "life span" of the etheric imprint determines the duration of the
short-term memory.
8. Stresses, strong impressions and multiple repetitions of the same external
stimulus ensure the formation of an imprint on the astral level.

9. The duration of an external signal's astral imprint is virtually unlimited.
10. An astral imprint is created from hybrid matter, GF, stemming from the
mergence of G and F matters inside the zone of the external signal's astral
projection.

11. Etheric and astral imprints of the external signal together constitute the
system of long-term memory.
12. If an etheric imprint is destroyed in the system of long-term memory, it
can be re-stored through the reverse projection of an astral imprint upon the
etheric level.

Before proceeding to the mystery of consciousness and how we may solve it, let
us take special note of the fact that the recording of information occurs on the
etheric and astral levels of the brain. The physical brain is merely a tool by means
of which the recording of information takes place. That is precisely why researchers
in brain physiology have never been able to deter-mine where the brain stores its
information.

The Chinese philosopher Confucius has said: "You cannot find a black cat in a
dark room if the cat is not there." But — even more confounding — is the question of
life after death.... This has baffled both genuine and armchair philosophers alike, as
well as priests, scientists and just about every mortal who, quaking before the
inevitable, has asked himself — what will happen to me when I take my dying breath

and my last spark of life fades away? Can it be that everything stops and dis-appears
without a trace — the feelings, the dreams, the ideas and creations that have defined
my life? Is it truly possible that all these vanish irrevocably into the silent and
awesome universe? All who read this book will be able to answer this question. There
is no need to develop a blind faith in life after death, only because you are afraid...

To get an answer we need only to grasp the basic concepts and strive to
understand them; if we do not try to conflict with nature, she will gratefully open up
to us and reveal her innermost secrets...

But before reaching any conclusions about life after death, let us probe deeply
and try to un-veil that other great enigma of life — the mystery of consciousness.
