Abstract		The solution to the great mystery of life lies in the understanding of its beginning. If life is not a mere chemical phenomenon but also an electromagnetic one, electromagnetic fields should have played an important role in its birth. Contemporary scientific efforts to solve the mystery of the origin of life concentrate on various possible chemica) paths. The most evolved hypotheses try to understand the beginning of life in terms of self-organizing properties of matter (i.e. molecules). Since organisms have very peculiar electromagnetic properties, it is possible and also probable that the origin of life was based on cooperation between dipolar organic molecules and special electromagnetic fields. ln contrast to the prevalent hypotheses of molecularself-organization, a testable hypothesis of self organization of electromagnetic field-and-matter is presented.
