Content Summary

Ond Bråd Död (Sudden Death)

The lead article, "Ond Bråd Död," posits that the suffering and disasters in the world are more than just divine punishment for sin. It is described as a consequence of humanity's denial and blasphemy of holy things, coupled with a profound indifference to harm as long as it doesn't affect them directly. The article suggests that the current global turmoil is a concluding phase, a final reckoning with past violent actions, driven by a "will of evil." The path out of this "jungle" is presented as "VISHET" (Wisdom), which, when paired with "KÄRLEK" (Love), provides a clear understanding of the true relationship of all things and inner peace, even amidst chaos. Wisdom is characterized as a unique quality that has been proven by great spiritual figures throughout history. The article emphasizes that the certainty that everything is divinely ordered is the sustaining element in life, achievable through will and the inner spiritual resources, particularly the "will to overcome."

Ur Våra Mästares Liv och Lära (From the Lives and Teachings of Our Masters)

This section, retold by Gulli Bergvall, continues the teachings of Baird T. Spalding. A spiritual being explains that "God is the central point within you, children of immortal spirit." It asserts that nothing can cause despair or anxiety because the "Almighty God created you as a living soul." It states that the same power that was in Jesus is within everyone, referred to as the "mantle of the spirit." This spiritual armor, when worn tightly, makes one impervious to all destructive forces, even those created by humans. If the outer form is destroyed, it will immediately reappear in its spiritual form. The text explains Jesus' choice of the "Golgotha-way" not to escape his fate, but to demonstrate to his loved ones that they possessed the same power. He showed that his perfected body could overcome death, and that once the spiritual body is developed, nothing material can destroy it. After his crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus' body was so spiritually developed that he could elevate the consciousness of those around him to perceive him. This is likened to the need for people today to raise their consciousness to understand spiritual truths.

The article further elaborates on the concept of the "spiritual body" and how it transcends physical limitations. It discusses how the veil of mysticism was lifted, and the temple curtain tore, signifying the overcoming of death. The teachings suggest that by raising one's consciousness to a higher plane, one becomes invisible to those in a lower, perishable state of consciousness. The power of thought is emphasized, stating that "what we see, we create." The concept of the "water of the cattle" is used metaphorically to represent the mirror through which thought-images are reflected to the soul, forming reality. It notes that only a portion of the assembled individuals are truly sincere and developing spiritually; others find the effort too great.

Gralskalkens Ödesväg (The Gral Knight's Destiny)

This section, attributed to "Gralskalkens Ödesväg," discusses the Gral's journey to Earth, its placement in the Keops pyramid, and its subsequent replacement by a skillfully made copy due to the influence of "black magic." It introduces the spiritual hierarchy that governs the world, with "God, Sanat Kumara" as the highest being on Earth. The article states that our "God guides our destinies" and our prayers are answered when they are of the right quality. It recounts how the spiritual hierarchy intervened when the priests of Egypt, in their arrogance, took the holy Gral, threatening its downfall. The Gral had to be saved from "black magic," which was rapidly growing and posing a danger. The text mentions a retreat place in South America for many of the world's spiritual leaders and introduces "Brother Philip" and his book "Secret of the Andes." It also mentions "God Meru," a figure from Norse mythology, who belongs to the world's spiritual hierarchy and was tasked with handling the priests fleeing Egypt and saving the Gral. The Gral was then hidden in a safe place. The article distinguishes between the "true Gral," safeguarded by God Meru, and the "false copy" hidden in the Keops pyramid.

Att Tro På Egen Förmåga (Believing in One's Own Ability)

This article emphasizes that the success of any undertaking depends on one's attitude and belief in their own abilities. However, it cautions against overconfidence, stating that true belief must be subordinate to faith in the "Divine Power." The article calls for aligning oneself with the Divine in fulfilling any task, assuring that if this is done, the work will be of the highest quality, with any deficiencies in human ability being compensated by spiritual leaders. It states that our spiritual hierarchy needs our help for what is currently awaiting the world. The text explains that the plane from which they operate is so high that their methods must be adapted to reach us, and our contribution, however small, is valuable. It encourages readers not to doubt their ability to participate, as the spiritual beings would not ask for help if they didn't believe we could provide it. It highlights the joy of serving this higher purpose.

The article further discusses the importance of mental discipline, learning to create thoughts and give them form. It states that thoughts already have form when they leave the brain, but we must consciously shape them into images that will perform the work. These images are filled with divine power if the thought is pure and free from selfishness. It asserts that if our work is done with love and wisdom, under divine guidance, it will achieve its intended goal without fail.

The text then addresses global issues like war, riots, and natural disasters, attributing them to humanity's "slackness" and the overwhelming burden of unjust actions. It draws a parallel to the time of Christ, who died not to take on individual guilt but to save the Earth from the heavy burden of humanity's negative influence. The article suggests that in these times, the world will be saved from much of its malicious, evil will through the love Christ taught and the wisdom of his works. It states that humanity is now mature enough to see the truth, and that Christ will reappear to show that his gift was meant to be received differently and that it is not too late.

När Anden Får Vingar (When the Spirit Gets Wings)

This article focuses on the experience of being under the "Highest's protection" and surrendering completely to Him. It describes how our outward perspective can be distorted, magnifying the patterns around us and obscuring the "light of the higher realms." When the spirit gains wings, which happens when we free ourselves from the near-at-hand, we can reach new experiences. The article suggests that the "heavy atmosphere of the lowest planet" is a positive thing because it is where we fulfill our assignments, which involve lifting heavy matter to higher, freer altitudes and teaching others how to do so. It clarifies that the essential part of our task is not the material work itself, but the spiritual understanding gained from higher planes.

It discusses the difficulty for highly developed individuals to grasp this work, attributing it to the fact that activities originating from higher planes are not perceived by the earthly mind, thus appearing as "nothing." If the secret of its true value were revealed, the work could be performed more methodically. The article addresses the conservative mindset that hesitates to engage in new endeavors, preferring comfort and familiarity. It argues that all pioneering work is experimental and that progress requires trying the new. It acknowledges that proof is often demanded but even evidence is dismissed. Nevertheless, it encourages continuing individual work and leaving those who refuse to listen. The primary obstacle to overcome is ourselves, including envious thoughts and unwillingness to forgive those who wrong us.

The text then delves into the concept of "mind-power" and how it creates forms. It states that our will is primary and sends help to those in need. "Will-power" is described as "etheric power," the strongest material available. It is the "God-power" in the thought-form we send out, a remedy for many ailments. The article laments the small number of people willing to work with this "help-activity" to combat human suffering, but expresses hope that more will listen.

It warns that thoughts sent out must be pure and free from any evil intent, otherwise the sender will suffer damage in proportion to the thought's content, illustrating the law of cause and effect. Friendly thoughts create peace in the mind. The article explains that the new aspect is learning to see the sent thoughts in their true light, as real things manifested on the plane from which they originate. It mentions that in past times, this was used consciously and called "magic." However, with the elimination of Lucifer's influence, the term "magic" is no longer necessary.

Asagudarnas Tid (The Time of the Asagudar)

This section discusses the ancient history of continents like Atlantis and Lemuria, and their connection to the peoples of South America, Africa, and Asia. It describes the spiritual guidance provided to the Nordic peoples after the ice receded, by beings from the Himalayas known as the Asagudar. The article characterizes the Nordic people as having a mix of ruthlessness and strong will, with a strict sense of honor and a commitment to their word. It also mentions the Vanir people, who lived by the sea, and the Greek gods, who were admired for their beauty. The Nordic people valued strength and action. The article contrasts the ancient view of the afterlife as a somber existence with the enjoyment of life on Earth, where the soul became bound to the body. It explains Lucifer's power as a necessary negative force for maintaining universal balance, and that what appears dark or evil is part of a divine plan.

It recounts the story of two moons, Azatlan and Luna I. The inhabitants of Azatlan, who were connected to Earth, misused destructive means and chemical science, leading to their moon being on a collision course with Earth. A rescue expedition was launched from the North, evacuating the population of Azatlan, with many sent to Atlantis and others remaining in the North, becoming ancestors of the Nordic people.

Krishna - hinduernas Gud (Krishna - the Hindu God)

This is a brief mention of Krishna as the Hindu God.

Eken; av Gulli Bergvall (The Oak; by Gulli Bergvall)

This is a brief mention of an article titled "The Oak" by Gulli Bergvall.

Radhakrishnan: Idealistisk livssyn (Radhakrishnan: Idealistic Outlook on Life)

This section briefly introduces Radhakrishnan's view that the ability to perceive spiritual truth depends on the soul's nature, which can be improved through intellect, emotions, and will, via prayer and contemplation. It states that the spirit comes alive when its forms are broken, and human nature is a life that desires to grow, not clay waiting to be shaped.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a spiritual and metaphysical worldview, emphasizing the power of consciousness, divine guidance, and the interconnectedness of all things. It presents a narrative of humanity's spiritual evolution, the influence of higher and lower spiritual forces, and the importance of aligning one's will with divine will. The editorial stance appears to be one of esoteric teaching, aiming to enlighten readers about hidden truths, ancient wisdom, and the path to spiritual enlightenment and overcoming material limitations. There is a strong emphasis on love, wisdom, and the power of thought as tools for personal and global transformation.

This document, identified as issue number 5 of volume 3, is written in Swedish and appears to be a magazine or newsletter focused on spiritual, mythological, and potentially extraterrestrial themes. The content is largely textual, with no visible images on the provided pages.

Ancient Cataclysm and Lemuria

The first section details a cosmic event involving the planet Azatlan and a satellite. This collision caused Lemuria to break away from Earth, with a significant portion sinking into the ocean and another part joining Azatlan in orbit. The Earth was thrown off its course, and Luna was ejected from Earth's orbit. The surviving moon is described as the former Azatlan with parts of Lemuria. This event caused immense structural changes to Earth, forming mountain ranges like the Andes, where God Meru and his spiritual hierarchy are said to reside. Despite the catastrophe, life continued, particularly in the North, though the people did not improve their ways. The Asagudarna, described as the 'spirit powers' of Norden, eventually withdrew when they found their efforts to uplift humanity futile.

The narrative also touches upon the impending arrival of Christ's energy, stating that it would take many millennia before his manifestation. The true Grail is said to be in the possession of God Meru, representing pure humanity.

Krishna: The Hindu God

The second major section discusses Krishna, the Hindu God, drawing parallels with Christ. It posits that Christ is the solar system itself, a being beyond human comprehension, who descended to Earth through a virgin birth to elevate humanity. This mission is said to be reaching its completion, with preparations for his 'awaited return'.

A comparison is then made with Krishna, who, according to the Bhagavad Gita, describes himself as the supreme ruler of the universe, without beginning or end, the source of all existence, and the divine self residing in everyone's hearts. Krishna states he is the beginning, middle, and end of all life and consciousness, and that he is the glory among radiant things. He emphasizes his role as the creator of the universe, distinct from it yet present within it.

The text explains that Krishna is entrusted to the Indian people due to their inner disposition, which embraces vastness and possibilities without limits, including a unique perception of time and a capacity for accepting numerous reincarnations. Unlike the West's stress and haste, Eastern cultures are characterized by a serene state of mind. The article concludes that Krishna is a God belonging to all peoples and all worlds.

'Eken' (The Oak) by Gulli Bergvall

This section features a poem titled 'Eken' by Gulli Bergvall. The poem is a prayer or invocation to a divine 'Lord' (Herre), expressing the speaker's identity as embodied prayer and longing. The speaker identifies as a tree, with roots in heaven and branches reaching towards light and stars, absorbing light and singing praises. The poem speaks of an 'unsung prayer' bound by cold and starlight, with the core meaning being a desire to become one with the light and be taken to the Lord. The speaker then realizes a connection to the 'Ashvattha tree', seeing themselves as a reflection of this cosmic tree, with roots in heaven and a crown shading the earth.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around ancient cosmologies, spiritual figures (Krishna, Christ, God Meru), and the concept of divine intervention or presence in the universe. There's an exploration of catastrophic events in Earth's ancient past and their impact on civilization. The editorial stance appears to be one of exploring esoteric and spiritual traditions, drawing connections between different belief systems and presenting them as facets of a universal truth. The comparison between Krishna and Christ suggests an inclusive approach to spirituality, viewing divine manifestations across different cultures as expressions of the same ultimate reality.
