| | A Higher
Consciousness
The writer in Japan 1963, with "tongues of fire". With a burn injury
from an electric arc on a Swedish ship. Notice the word "SONY" in the background. If we
take away "Y", we get another word that is from our unconscious. An
example that shows how our unconscious always is included.
This is a really interesting part. I will deal with some of
the essentials in life. And I take myself as an example, not because I want it
but because it is necessary.
Now suppose that there is a God who wants to show us
his existence. Then it can be as I will explain here.
And the word is the connection between an event in the future and an
event now.
About the Word
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. That was with God in the beginning. Through that all things were made;
without that nothing was made that has been made. In that was life and the life
was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not
got domination by that.
The Gospel according to St. John 1:1-5
About the Holy Spirit and Tongues of Fire
They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on
each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in
other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
The Acts of the Apostles 2:3-4
Consider: "The Holy Spirit" and "other tongues" are
mentioned here.
About the Helper, the Holy Spirit and
the Spirit of Truth
When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the
Spirit of
truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.
The Gospel according to St. John 15:26
Consider: "The Spirit of truth" (in
Swedish "sanningens Ande") is
mentioned.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
will teach you all things, and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
The Gospel according to St. John 14:26
Consider: "The Holy Spirit" (in
Swedish "helige Ande") is
mentioned.
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on
his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to
come.
The Gospel according to St. John 16:13
Consider: "Spirit" (in Swedish "Ande") is mentioned here. We can
also hear the spoken word.
As we can see of the above, "The Helper","The Holy
Spirit"
and "The Spirit of Truth" are all one and the same. Then, there
must be something we don't fully understand.
About the Spirit of
Truth and the Spirit of Error
In the first letter by
St.John is written: Whoever knows God listens to us;
whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of
truth and the Spirit of error. Consider:
Wien we are listening, we hear the word.
About Future and Time Past
I will now show how we can imagine that there really is a higher
consciousness, a higher thought, that connect us together and act for a common
aim, without that we know about it. That is possible if the future event already
has occured in another dimension of time, possibly a world without time, but
part of our own world and in connection with our unconscious.
To show that there is a higher consciousness, I will go back to biblical time
and show that events and people in our time can be connected with events and
people in biblical time. In other words, I will try to show that there is a
greater consciousness and that time past and the future are connected together.
To get credibility in what I am saying, I have to take into
account as much as possible that seems to indicate that there is a higher
consciousness, a God, that influence us. .

When I grew up, on the country side, three of our
closest neighbours had the name "Helga", "Helge" and
"Helge". "Helga" and
"Helge" is in Swedish the same word as "Holy". So there is a trinity in the word
"Holy". |
| Another of our neighbours had the name
"Augusta",
which leads the thought to the name "Augustus". The emperor
"Augustus" received the title "God like promoted" by the Roman senate, on January
16th, 27 BC. Gives biblical time. |
| The house nearest to my home as
a child (the house is now gone), had an owner by name
Hannes Johansson, which leads the thought to Johannes, in English John. For example
the evangelist St.John.
I think that the owner of the house before him was his mother by name Iva
(IVA). The numeral 4, is with Roman numerals written as IV. There were four
evangelists.
The family lived on a place with the name Båtskärsnäs ("Båt" is in
English "Boat"). |
| During last years three new houses have
been built close to my home as a child. I can connect the profession
or the name of the
first owner to the word "carpenter". According to St.Mark 6:3, Jesus himself
was a carpenter. |
| The famous Swedish botanist Carl von Linné
(1707-1778) made 1732 a scientific exploration expedition to the northern
part of Sweden. About my home village Sangis he wrote that "Our Father"
ends in the
village. By that he meant that in the village we speak Swedish, but in
the next village to the east, also in Sweden, people speak Finnish. Thus, he
spoke about the language and the word, and possibly unconsciously about the
prayer "Our Father", in which we can find the word "holy".
Carl von Linné worked for many years in Uppsala.
I have myself a certain connection to the town Uppsala. When I had to do my
military service, I became placed at the signal troops in Uppsala. I became
after a test chosen for education to a morse signaller. But Uppsala is
located far from home, so I applied for transfer closer to my home. At
that time I also played football in my "home team". I was educated to a under water explorer (frogman), at the
engineers, as I had good physics. I applied myself for that education. It
was an interesting but physically demanding education. Later on I became an
engineer. And later I became Master of Science.
Before that I was for some
years a sailor on Swedish oceangoing merchant vessels,1962-1964. We
visited many interesting places as Israel, Texas (Baytown), Japan and
other. I have passed through both the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal. I have gone
much on the water. |
| My grandmother and grandfather were the owner
of a small part of land in the village. The name of the land was "Betsen".
Close to this part of land is today a day nursery located (Home for children).
If I replace "s" with "l" in the word "Betsen", then I simply can associate to the
word "Betlehem". If I am standing at "Betlehem" and look to the
north and maybe a little to the east, then I can see a twinkling "star".The
"star" is twinkling all the time, day and night, all the year
round. This is symbolicly
"The Star of Betlehem". In this case the "star" is
located on the top of a TV-pylon. |
| In my home village by name Sangis, we also speak
another tongue, a very old language, a farm language, maybe thousand years
old. |
|
Close to my home as a child is a small
part of
land, which my parents called "myran" (in English "myrrh").
It's an old part of bog land (the Swedish word for "bog" is
"myra"). The dwelling-house has for many years been painted in a yellow
colour, and for many years we have heated the house with firewood, which
causes smoke from the chimney. The place is in accordance with the Bible
expression, "gold, smoke and myrrh". |
| My home as a child was a farm.
To the farm belonged a dwelling house, an out house for cows and other
animals, fields and forest. In the out house there was a hay-barn, room for
firewood, room for tools and other rooms. Thus a rather long
building.
We had often swallows (the Swedish word for "swallow" is
"svala"), in the out house and they were building their nests in the hay-barn or in "svalen"
, the walk way between the hay-barn and the part of the building where the
animals stayed.
One brother to my father had the name "Hugo".
In the Swedish translation of the Bible, published before the year 1917, the name
for "The Helper" was "Hugsvalaren" (in English "The
Comforter"). |
|
For many years we had post-box numbers in the
village. In my home the number was 333. Nowadays we have road numbers. Ours
is 30. The digit 3 occurs frequently. |
| A famous Swedish writer by name Viktor
Rydberg, (1828-1895), has rather well, unconscious of it, rather well given a description for
the location of the house in the poem "TOMTEN" (In English "Father
Christmas"). Viktor Rydberg wrote among others about the
Trinity, and he was of the opinion that the Trinity was in conflict with the words of
the Bible and the human sense. I will later try to give an explanation.
Nowadays I am the owner of a "TOMT" (In English "building
site") close to the house.
This part of land that is mine, is in reality two building sites. I bought
this part of land and wanted to divide the land to one partition, but the
surveying forced me to make two partitions. I then connect the
second "TOMT" (building site) to Rovaniemi in Finland. Why I do
that is easier to understand after reading my next part.
To attract tourists, people in
Finland like to present Rovaniemi as the town of "TOMTEN" (Father
Christmas). On the streets are big footprint painted, to show that
"FATHER CHRISTMAS" has been there. I have myself been many times
to Rovaniemi. |
| In the Swedish Bible-translation from 1917 is
a map of Palestine from the time of the Old Testament. If I accept that "The
Salt Sea" in the Bible is the sea where I live, the northern part of
Gulf of Bothnia, then I can recognize, with a little bit of imagination,
"the heath land" to the east of my home village and on the Finnish
side of the border places as Enare Lake (Kinneret Lake), Salla (Salmon),
Rovaniemi (Ramon) and Simo (Bet Hajesimot). That means that the position
might have a relation to the word and to the time.
But have I myself any connection to these places? Yes, I have.
As I am born and have grown up not far from the Finnish border, it has been
natural to cross the border sometimes and for example visit restaurants.
Because of that I know some Finnish girls. Many years ago, I have visited
Enare Lake, together with a woman from Rovaniemi. I have visited Salla,
together with a woman from Salla. And I also know a woman in Simo. I think
that these women helped me to discover the map in the Bible. Without them I
think I should never have seen any similarity. There was by me an interest
to these places. Because of that I saw the map. |
| My grandmother can be said to be from "the
house and lineage of David", as it is written in the Bible, because she
was born in the same house as a man by name David. My grandmother had a
sister by name MARIA JOSEFina, also from "the house and lineage of
David". In the Bible is told that as JOSEF was of "the house and
lineage of David", he went to Bethlehem together with MARIA in order to
be registered for tax. |
| In the Bible is also told how Jesus feeds 5000 men,
besides women and children, with 5 BRÖD (in English "loaves") and two
FISKAR (in English "fishes"), and what remained when all had
been eating was 12 KORgar (in Endlish "baskets") full. At another time
he feeds 4000 men, besides women and children, with 7 BRÖD and a few small FISKAR,
and what remained
when all had been eating was 7 KORgar full.
In
my fathers family they were 12 brothers and sisters, 5 BRÖDer (in English
"brothers") and 7 of them sisters. They were even FISKARe (in English
"fishermen"). Among other things they made by hand two fishing seines.
One for bigger fishes and one for bleak and Baltic small herring (small
fishes). As the family lived on a farm, with some fields and some forest,
there were also KOR (in English "cows"), as a rule
between 7 and 12.
And certainly, I can also walk on the water - however, only
during wintertime when the water is frozen to ice. |
| Across the river that divide
the village in two parts, are two bridges that from people got the names "New
bridge" and "Old bridge". The "Old bridge" is
located higher up in the river. Higher up counterflow.
If we imagine that the "Old bridge" is time past, the "New
bridge" is present time, then the future time should be in the sea. The river is
then the time flowing along. Then , if the waterlevel
in the sea is increasing, then the waterlevel at the bridges is also
influenced. |
| Not far from my home as a
child were three houses and three persons with biblical names,
"Esther", "Reuben" and "Laban".
"Laban" had another name, but was mentioned as "Laban"
when he was young.
Why, I don't know. Whether "Laban" had two daughters, I
don't know today.
In reality there were three women with the name "Esther". The
neighbour "Kalle", (the house is now gone), had a daughter, "Kalle's
Esther". Some hundred meters further away lived "Karl-Johan's
Esther" and some hundred meters away in the opposite direction lived
" Fisher's Esther". |
| God is big and the human being
is small, we say. As a gift from above there are two lakes close to the
village by name "BIG Lake" and "SMALL Lake". |
I
will now add up the words and then I get the following words:
Holy, Augustus, John, Jesus, the word, "our father", Bethlehem,
"the star of Bethlehem", tongues, "gold, smoke and myrrh",
comforter, three, big, small etc. and texts from the Bible. Everything points to biblical
time. Is that just
pure chance without any meaning, or is there a higher thought trying to awake
our attention? I think the latter is right. As I am born January 16, and have name-day
January 13, and as I have the word "John" (St.John), I go to the Gospel according
to St.John, chapter 16, verse 13. There we can read the following as I showed
earlier. "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all
truth. He will not speak on
his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to
come". "Spirit of truth" is in Swedish
translation "sanningens ande". Now notice that all letters in the word
"sanningens" (in English "the truth") are included in the
word "Sangis", my native place. Then we might imagine that the word
"sanningens" (the truth), formed first, is in fact formed with respect
to the word "Sangis". That should mean that the future event give us
the word. About
the Double Meaning of the Language
Now suppose that the connection to the word is by
God. I then start with the words in the Trinity, that is: the Father, the Son and
the Spirit (in Swedish "Fader, Son, Ande"). In the Swedish translation,
I get the word "Anderson" from the two words "Ande" and
"Son", and by adding "r". And the end justifies the mean. Tryning
to understand what God says, I now write a famous expression in which I change
the word "ANDE" to "ANDErsson": "I FADERN,
SONENS och den helige ANDErssons NAMN (In English "in the FATHER'S, the
SON'S and the holy SPIRIT'S NAME")". I
now write the names, where God is "God Father".
|
Gud (in English "God"), Jesus, Knut -
common letter is "U". |
|
Father, Christ, Andersson - common letter is "R". |
We get the word "UR", which in Swedish also is the name
for a watch,
thus leading the thought to the time.
Now remains the most difficult, namely try to
interpret the above obtained information. Time past, present time and the
future ought to be a Trinity, where it can be understood, that Jesus acted in
time past, people now living are acting in present times and thus, God
should be acting in the future.
God acting in the future seems to be reasonable,
as all creation take place in the future. What exists today is already created.
And then it is also possible to go back in time all the way to Big Bang (the
birth of the universe), and say that before Big Bang existed the future. It must
also be better to create a universe if the future is known, than to create a
universe and afterwards see what it became from everything. Maybe is it then so,
that time past and the future exist at the same time, where our consciousness is
connected to time past and our unconsciousness is connected to the future.
But if it is so that God influence us unconsciously
with regard to an event in the future, then let us see how Samuel Morse
(1791-1872), the creator of the Morse alphabet, has designated the letters U and
R? The Morse alphabet is built-up with short and long signals, or let us say
small and big signals. U in the Morse alphabet consists of small, small, big after each
other and R
consists of small, big, small.
About the Son of God
Now when we have come so far, can we give an answer
to the question if Jesus was the son of God? And the answer should then be yes
and no. As God, for us unconsciously, can influence so that a man and a woman
meet each other, and the result is a relationship and children, then it is
possible to say both yes and no. Furthermore it is possible that God is part in
our genes. It should means that many of us can be named
children of God.
About
Rebirth
I will in this matter also mention some words about
rebirth.
Already Plato, (Greek philosopher, 427 - 347 before Christ), discussed the
matter. From him we have what is called "Platonic
copies", ideas which are born again, a renewal of the reality in a known
manner.
As I see it, rebirth is reality because the future event
unconsciously affect us and give us the word connected with the future event.
And that is possible if the future event can be said to have occured, though in
another dimension of time. Then it is the future reality that unconsciously give
us the word. And when the future reality occur, there is a connection through
the word backwards in time. If I for example in "Simon's house" know
three persons with names closely related to Joseph, Mary and Magdalene, then
perhaps I could say who the persons in the Bible were.
About the Universe
If the connection to the word is from God, then
perhaps we could say that the universe once will stop its expansion and go in
the other direction. The word universe is built up from the latin words "uni" =
one, unity and "verto" = turn back.
To the question if there is life in the universe
maybe we can give the answer yes, as we have given the star constellations name
as Great Bear, Hare, Swan and so on. (Maybe we should rename the
star connstellations and give them name as Paradise, Peacelovers, Kindness and so on).
The Free Will
Now there is another important question. Am I chosen
or is this what I have written something I have discovered by myself, and with
my own free will? My first name in full is "knUT torVALD", ("UTVALD" is in English
the same as "CHOSEN"). Or maybe better "kn U t torVALD".
A Father Had Two Sons
|
The fact is that I can recognize myself somewhat
in the story about the Prodigal Son. I have grown up on a farm and I have once in my youth helped my father to slaughter a calf.
And that was not at all fun. But it was necessary. |
| It is written about music and
dance. In Sweden
we say that on my name-day, twenty days after Christmas Eve, we dance
Christmas out or "Twentieth Knut, we dance the Christmas out". |
| It is written that he made a journey to a
country far away and I have for many years worked in foreign countries. I have been away for long
times, but I have always returned "to my fathers house".
|
The Lost Son
And He said: "A man had two sons.
The younger of them said to his father:
'Father,give me the share of the estate that falls to me.' So he divided his wealth between
them.
And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and
went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate
with loose living.
Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occured in that country,
and he began to be impoverished.
So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, and
he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were
eating, and no one was giving anything to him.
But when he came to his senses, he said: 'How many of my father's hired men
have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger!
I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him: Father, I have sinned
against heaven, and in your sight;
I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired
men.'
So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off,
his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and
kissed him.
And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your
sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'
But the father said to his slaves: 'Quickly bring out the best robe and put
it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;
and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate;
for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has
been found.' And they began to celebrate.
Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the
house, he heard music and dancing.
And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things
could be.
And he said to him: 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the
fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.'
But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and
began pleading with him.
But he answered and said to his father: 'Look! For so many years I have been
serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have
never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends;
but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with
prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'
And he said to him: 'Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine
is yours.
But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and
has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.' "
The Gospel according to St.Luke 15:11-32
About
the Year 1999
Some people with knowledge of the Bible, are of the opinion that the
numbers of the verses in the Book of Psalms are in accordance with the years in
the 20th century. For example should the Psalms around 40 tell about the years
of war around the year1940. As I am writing this in the year 1999, thus the Psalm 99
should give information about the year 1999. In the Swedish Bible this Psalm is called
"The
Threefold Holy".
The Threefold Holy
The LORD reigns, let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned above the
cherubim,
let the earth shake!
The LORD is great in Zion, And He is exalted above all the
peoples.
Let them praise Your great and awesome name; Holy is He.
The strength of the King loves justice; You have established
equity; You have
executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt the LORD our God And worship at His footstool; Holy is
he.
99 Psalm 1:5
Consider: Cherubim = Angel like a child; A supernatural creature that is
considered to be close to the divinity. (From National Encyclopedia, NE)
About the Last Days of a Millennium
The phrase "in the last days" dosn't necessarily
means the last days of the universe. As I write this at the end of 1999, I allow
"the last days" means "the last days of a millenium".
And it shall be in the last days, God says,
that I will pour
forth of my Spirit on all people,
and your
sons and your daughters shall prophesy...
The Acts of the Apostles 2:17
Consider: prophesy = preach
Consider: that the "Spirit" is mentioned here ("Ande" in Swedish)
About Our Unconsciousness
To give a simplified picture how our unconscious works, it is possible that
our unconscious is built up something like a chessboard, where the time is at
the top and the place along the side (birds, for example, have a built in
compass, which they use for navigation). If the place and time are given, then
we automatic get the word . And if the word is given, then we get the time and
the place. As the time and the word are common to all, it can be several people
acting against the same event. It is also possible to compare with a car battery,
where our unconscious (plus
terminal) is connected to the future and our conscious (minus terminal) is
connected to past time. Plus and minus forms a closed circuit. Now it is certainly more complicated
than that, it's only an example.
Future and Past Time
In this connection it can be mentioned that
Einstein has showed that the future and past time exist at the same time. How we
apprehend when a star explodes in a distant galaxy depends on how we are moving.
If we are moving in a certain direction, the star exploded yesterday, but if we
are moving in another direction, the star explodes tomorrow.
The Meaning of Life
I think we have to search for God in our own genes and in
what happens around us. At the same time it seems like we all are connected
together by an invisible band. Sometimes I get the sense that God gives us the conditions, the
big,
but we must ourselves improve the details, the small. I also think there is a
meaning with life. It should be rather meaningless with a Universe, if there
were no life that saw and observed that there was a Universe. But I also think
there might be a deeper meaning with life. We can be needed to make a better
Universe. With the thought it is possible
to travel as far away we want in just a moment.
Summary
I have now given examples how a higher consciousness can be thought to affect us.
There is no doubt that still there is much we haven't understood yet, but in the
future we will look at it as something natural. In the last part I will tell
about my private experiences, which have affected me in my apprehension.
