we are One True Love evolving into being One-And-Apart in True Love 25/04/2010
we are One True Love evolving into being One-and-Apart in True Love
Very simply put, I believe that Existence is True Love as One becoming True Love as One-and-Apart, where every part has free will and is unique. I believe that every part of Existence is helping all the other parts to reach more understanding of Existence, and through that, we will all be able to live freely according to our true nature, which I believe to be True Love.
When it comes to True Love I feel this as a force which comes from the very core of Existence, and it is both light and darkness – it is the true nature of All. I had a vision once picturing this force as a mass of stars and darkness flowing out of something which seemed like a “black hole” in a spiral kind of formless form. With this vision came a deep sense of true LOVE – and I really cannot find the words to describe that, but it has to do with openness.
So far we are still suffering a lot of “birth-pain” in the process of becoming One-and-Apart in True Love, but I think that this is changing, at least in our part of the Universe, but maybe in our entire Universe or even the Existence as a hole – who knows – and that this is what is bringing us the so called New Age.
we are One True Love – spirit and mass – evolving into being One-and-Apart in True Love in constant chaotic beautiful order

Here a fairytale I wrote about this in 2003:
THE FAIRYTALE
“Once upon a time there was True Love in the middle of Nothing. True Love was full of joy and harmony, but it was lonely, it had no one to share everything with.
So True Love made a hard decision, and split itself into billions and trillions of pieces, screaming of pain, but also singing in joy! Because True Love knew, that once all the billions and trillions of pieces had fallen into harmony, it would be able to see and love itself as the wonderful creation that it is! And it would never be lonely again.”

THE SPIRIT QUEST - a pitch for your-big-break
This is my entry in the competition Your-Big-Break.com -
if I win I get to go to New Zealand and make a 3 min film about the country with the people behind Lord of the Rings amongst other things…
I am in love with the idea I have for the film, I hope you like it too:
The Spirit Quest is about two female elves who appear in the middle of a square in Queenstown, New Zealand, right after dawn on a warm summer morning. The younger one of them is on a Spirit Quest – to find the Spirit of New Zealand. Since the Young Elf is reluctant – she would rather have a mission in some distant, cool astral dimension – the older Calm Elf starts to inspire her with tales of New Zealand, its culture and its people.
As she tells her stories we travel over this breathtaking country, getting impressions from its vast variety of realities and places, thus discovering why it can compete with any astral dimension. In the end, the Young Elf finds the Spirit of New Zealand in a very surprising form, which will leave as well her as the spectator happy and warm inside, and the film as a whole will leave anyone thrilled about New Zealand, and Queenstown!

glad lucia! – but where are the tomtar? 13/12/2009
I love watching the pagan/christian celebration of Lucia on national TV, I think most Swedish people do. It’s romantic and very emotional: on an early, dark, cold morning in the midst of December, the 13th, the young members of society come with light, music and beauty to the older members of society, as well as to the newly born. It is an ancient ceremony of rebirth and renewal, and about the existence of magic and blessings in life, even in what seems to be the darkest of times. It is also a celebration of the sun, and the human capacity of handling fire – of bending the elements after our own will, like making light in abundance in the middle of Winter. The ceremony is full of ancient symbols, like the stars (pentacles) on the pointy hats of the so called “stjärngossarna” = the star boys.
Lucia, the saint who is saint celebrated, is a Sicilian martyr who sacrificed her life for her beliefs, and for not having to marry a man she did not love. Traditionally, she is a fairy or a Goddess of light, coming with light and protection for the people after the night between the 12th and the 13th of December, when the dark forces were said to be specially strong.
But pagan traditions around the winter solstice have heavily inspired the current advent traditions in Sweden, as everywhere else. The Lucia procession is a pre-christian, pagan invention, some even say that it has elements from the winter solstice celebration in Scandinavia, being a ceremony which celebrates the return of light and innocence. The winter solstice is on the 21-22 of December, making it too close to the Christian Christmas, and therefor the celebration had to be moved some say.
They might be right, but the 13th of December has for a long time been seen as the as a night when it is easier for evil and and naughty spirits to enter the realm of humans; a night when the doors between the different dimensions where wide open. For this reason it is a tradition to wake during the night between the 12th and the 13th, to be able to avoid the spirits and not come in evils claws in ones dreams. In the morning the children and youth of the society brought light, and there was singing. Probably some bun similar to the “Lussekatt”, a bun with saffran which is served on Lucia, was served already then. The bun is formed like pagan sun symbol:

Thinking about this while watching the followers of Lucia and then herself march into the cathedral of Växsjö, the Lucia celebration also becomes a quite interesting, kind of joint celebration of the mix of cultures, beliefs and ideas that we live in.
Here the first part of the very beautiful 2009 Lucia celebration on Swedish national TV, SVT:
But where Are The Tomtar?
Traditionally the Swedish Lucia should be followed by a group of what we call “tomtar”, practically little gnomes who sing songs about how they sneak into the houses of the humans at night, tasting the food and having fun. They are unfortunately missing in this years Lucia celebration on national TV, probably its for the reason that my father pointed out to me: it’s in a church this year, so they skipped the “tomtar”. They probably do not find “tomtar” church-like enough. That is really a shame.
Just like gnomes in other places, Swedish “tomtar” are known to take care of humans, as well as the animals and plants who live on the farms. They also like to play, and love to get attention. It is of course important to show your respect and gratitude to the “tomtar”, especially at winter. Many people for example put out a small portion of the Christmas porridge for the house “tomte”, to show their gratitude and to motivate the “tomtar” to help them in taking care of their home and it’s inhabitants during the coming year as well.
The relationship between the house spirits and their human family is often described as a warm and loving one in the myths and the fairytales of almost all cultures. But they can also play quite some tricks on you, if you don’t watch out and take care of what you have. Without them, life tends to get really hard if you believe in all the legends. Maybe “tomtar” are not everywhere, but I have a feeling that we are really surrounded with beings which we know very little about, who live their own lives, but who often seem to help out. I find it a bit crazy myself, but there has been so many times when I have experienced concrete proof of such help. So my advice is, the next time you make some nice, hot food for yourself, share a small portion with the beings or spirits who help you – they will love it!
THE FAIRYTALE – EL CUENTO DE HADAS – SAGAN (2003) 26/04/2009
THE FAIRYTALE
Once upon a time there was True Love in the middle of Nothing. True Love was full of joy and harmony, but it was lonely, it had no one to share everything with.
So True Love made a hard decision, and split itself into billions and trillions of pieces, screaming of pain, but also singing in joy! Because True Love knew, that once all the billions and trillions of pieces had fallen into harmony, it would be able to see and love itself as the wonderful creation that it is! And it would never be lonely again.
You are a part of True Love, and so are your friends and so are your enemies. Remember your origin, and you will look upon the world in a different way.
EL CUENTO DE HADAS
Una vez habia Amor Verdadero en la mitad de Nada. Amor Verdadero era lleno de felizidad y harmonia, pero se sentia sólo, no tenía a nadie con quien podía compartir todo.
Asi que Amor Verdadero hacía una decisión muy difícil, y se compartió en billiones y trilliones de piecos, gritando del dolor, !pero también cantando de felizidad! Porque sabía que, una vez que todos los piecos habrián caido en harmonía, !sería capaz de verse y amarse a si mismo por la creación fantastica que es! Y nunca más estaría sólo.
Tú eres una parte del Amor Verdadero, y también lo son tus amigos, y tus enemigos. Recuerda tú origín y mirarás al mundo en una manera diferente.
SAGAN
En gång fanns Sann Kärlek i mitten av Ingenting. Sann Kärlek var full av lycka och harmoni, men kände sig ensam, den hade ingen att dela allt med.
Så Sann Kärlek tog ett svårt beslut, och delade sig i billioner och trillioner bitar, skrikande av smärta, men också sjungande av glädje! För Sann Kärlek visste att när väl alla de billioner och trillioner bitarna fallit på plats, skulle den kunna se och älska sig själv som den fantastiska skapelse den verkligen är! Och den skulle aldrig vara ensam igen.
Du är en del av Sann Kärlek, och så är dina vänner, och dina fiender. Minns ditt ursprung och du kommer att se på världen på ett annat sätt.
DAS MÄRCHEN
Es war einmal Wahre Liebe in der Mitte von Nichts. Wahre Liebe war voll von Freude und Harmonie, aber es hatte niemanden womit es seine Liebe teilen konnte.
Also traf Wahre Liebe eine schwierige Entscheidung, und explodierte in Billionen und Trillionen Einzelteile, schreiend von Schmerz, aber auch singend von Freude! Weil Wahre Liebe wusste, das wenn einmal all die Billionen und Trillionen Teile Harmonie gefunden haben, wäre es fähig sich selber zu sehen und lieben als die wunderbare Kreation die es ist! Und es würde nie wieder alleine sein.
Du bist ein Teil von Wahre Liebe, und so sind es auch deine Freunde, und deine Feinde. Erinnere dich wo du herkommst, und du wirst die Welt anders sehen.
