Read quickly what you want to know and why he wrote this e-book.
Read quickly what you want to know and why he wrote this e-book.
Who is Mattees van Dijk?
- Mattees van Dijk is a family doctor who’s interested in cosmology and has a passion for existential questions. He wrote his e-book to expose his ideas about the meaning of consciousness to the world.
Can you tell me something about the e-book that you wrote?
- In this e-book I bring scientific knowledge as the basis for the argument that consciousness is not only a product of brainactivity but also a cosmological phenomenon that in fact is the basis for all reality. Our cosmos has a built-in intelligence. The book deals with philosophical questions about how our human consciousness is connected with the consciousness of all , the holoconsciousness. It is inevitable that cosmology,quantumphysics,evolutional science, cognitive science should be discussed.
Our great Dutch compatriot Spinoza was the founder of modern pantheism. Pantheism is making a come back.Also existential and spiritual questions and the science of consciusness is in the picture again in science. My e-book is trying to fill the gap between science and spiritual life, but it keeps a sober look on this matter.
So what is the reason you wrote the e-book?
- The reason is my search for the meaning of life and the miracle being human just fascinates me so much that sharing my ideas with other readers could only become possible by writing this e-book.
How do you think the bookmarket will look like over five years?
- I predict a great future for the e-book and I think they will become more sophisticated and grow to some audiovisual presentation, with more interaction with the readers and maybe even in virtual reality. The difference between blog, website, e-book, presentation, film will gradually disappear. Still I’m convinced the paper book will for ever stay with us.
I think, though, that the paper book will be replaced by a foldable digital device.

Do you read e-books yourself?
I still read nore paperbooks than e-books, but e-books are very comfortable when you’re traveling or mobile. The threshold to choose for an e-book is low. Just visit the website of the provider and buy. But you miss the smell of books in the bookstore.
What is your goal for the upcoming year?
-I hope that my e-book still becomes a greater success because I’m passionately backing up its content. I hope the media will find my e-book and hope to be interviewed once at Dutch TV.
What makes you proud?
- I’m proud to have written a very good book in my spare time with my busy job as a doctor.

What would you do different next time?
- Nothing, sorry.
- Nothing, sorry.
What is your golden advise for authors who are
considering to write an e-book?
- First of all you have to realize that marketing is very important and the art of writing is a talent which cannot be learned easily. The most important thing is passion. Feel deep involvement with your e-book. Look for a good publisher who believes in your e-book, thinks with you and has the same involvement. They are also hard to find! Just realize that you’re not finished with writing you’re book. The real work starts then! An e-book doesn’t sell itself unless you are a famous writer already or some other famous person.
