Following a lengthy analysis of the first orbital city project, my team and I decided to change the visuals while adhering to the overall concept of a new society. The Ether 2.0 concept became more futuristic, designed by the architect Luis Daniel Pozo Torres. The city acquired an asymmetrical shape, it became more complex and more functional at the same time. We kept the multi-tiered construction, but added a weightlessness zone and a power station.

The Human Cosmos philosophy of multidisciplinary development comprises several components and directions, one of the most important of which is the visionary super-concept of an orbital city.

The space city is an ambitious goal and project which can unite people striving for progress around it. The final goal behind the development and design of such a city is not the mass resettlement of people to space, but rather the creation of a community of people interested in developing their personal microcosm and exploring the macrocosm. These are people who are interested in science, who take care of their health, who are worried about the future of our planet and are working to protect the environment. To unite around something requires creating something, starting something. …

The Human Cosmos super system offers an on-target personalized self-development plan for you as an individual, rather than for the public at large. Because if you want to change the world, change yourself. Saving the planet starts in your mind.

If you want to become the best version of yourself; if you strive for happiness and harmony and care about the future of the planet; if you want to expand your world to someday touch the universe, focus on these nine areas of personal growth:

• the physical (your body)
• awareness (mental development)
• energy (both inner and external)
• prosperity (money)
• community (your social…

My Human Cosmos philosophy didn’t come to me all at once. I didn’t wake up one day like Mendeleev and come up with a revolutionary concept. It all started unremarkably, because of my interest in architecture.

My passion was urban planning, and I spent a long time working on urban development of cities across Russia. The monocity Krasnoturiinsk, the Moscow River land area, the Bolshoi Usuriiskii peninsula — these were all projects my team and I conceived and implemented. …

The end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century saw the emergence and popularization of Russian cosmism, a philosophical and cultural movement which declared the existence of both a microcosm and a macrocosm, the Universe and the people in it. We are part of a bigger world, and at the same time, we all have our own vast inner world within us. This inner world must be nurtured and developed. Russian cosmism was the first to state that we as humans must live conscious and deliberate lives, weighing our every action, as we each answer for our own microcosm which directly affects the macrocosm. Everything is connected. …

Once you’ve developed the powers of observation, have high sensing skills, found your purpose in life and become more conscious, the moment will come when you’ll feel limited by your own self. You’ll want (and you’ll be able to) develop hidden superpowers. And they are innate in everyone, they simply don’t appear because we don’t exercise the need for them. A person is an adaptive and lazy creature, he will not train himself in abilities that he doesn’t need to survive, and he’s not going to keep sporting a tail when that doesn’t fit into jeans. That’s the reason we lost the extra limbs, and levitation didn’t serve as a form of movement, due to fatigue. …

Earlier, I said that Cosmic Thinking is the high sensation system of the body, fullness of life and multitasking performance. But there is also another aspect to it. A person of the cosmos is not only super-sensitive to her own being, she is also tuned in to the world, its diversity and development.

Bring to mind the average person not engaged in his own development. What are his interests? It’s likely to be: making money, relaxing with cocktails by a pool, buying a house, separating himself from idiots, raising grandchildren and finally life comes to an end. The last one is, of course, not an interest, but a crucial part of the future. When a person develops a cosmic consciousness, he lives with the full awareness that his every action in this world is connected with the Universe. Each thought has its own energy field and effect. And the more like-minded people there are in the world, regardless of their creed, the stronger their effect on humanity. Incidentally, this is an experimentally proven fact: collective meditations have shown that the energy field which develops in the practice begins to be charged with positively charged particles. In the same way, masses of people with similar attitudes affect the world around them. This is very important now, at the time of coronavirus, because the more people panic, the worse it will be for everyone, even the calmest and most resilient people. When some woman fights over a pack of toilet paper, while another lazy couch potato feels sorry for himself and doesn’t care about anything. …

I often say that people need to develop cosmic thinking. In principle, I base all my educational activities and ideology on this. So let’s see what this means.

Imagine that you are in a great hurry to get somewhere. You pop into the coffee shop on the way, grab your takeaway filter coffee, drink it in a hurry, and send an audio message to your colleague along the way. …
