Think of the course of a river – can we see that in a spiritual context?
And how on earth could we get the Laws of Nature into that picture?

-Do all these rivers in our Norse myths have anything to do with man’s life?
-They are all about the cycles of renewal, these perpetual nourishing cycles of evolution.

Pitch for Þund 1 min 17 sec:

The text for 1 minute pitch Þund (above):
28 Þund

Þund is a river. A mythological river. One of many many in Norse mythology. Can you imagine a river flowing towards the ocean, becoming one with it. Then water evaporates from the ocean-surface, forms clouds, which move with the wind. Hitting mountains they become rain or snow. Brooks come into being, and also ground-water-beds are formed in the earth. Nourishing all life. Brooks flow down mountain-slopes, forming rivers, which eventually flow towards the ocean. What a beautiful cycle as symbolic language for our evolution! We transcend, imbibe correlation and knowledge, return to the world of thoughts and actions.
Dharma is that which upholds. Cycles are really nourishing and upholding all life. And we should know the purpose and goal of life: evolution towards perfection, enlightenment.

More to ponder on:

* why would this analogy work 1)rivers and 2)the cycle of gaining knowledge from within? (consider ocean clouds rain springs brooks rivers)
* has every phenomenon its dharma its purpose, its road/way/path to its goal?
* where from does the flawless and all-powerful orderliness come?
* what price-cup do einherjar enjoy – humbly and even-minded?
* can we know which actions and thoughts are in tune with the mighty flow of life’s purpose?
* will we know “right action” when we start nýsa niður?
* what makes us, accidently, get into hrímþursar and goats’ urine? (stagnation on our evolutionary path)
* can we consider to be some lack of proper education when we know nothing about our spiritual evolution not even told what we are here for? know not what we should be doing as a living man on earth?
* can we know that which nobody teaches us?
* can we know all, live all, live in accordance with the mighty flow of Þund if we nose down to The Field of All Knowledge?
* do highly evolved men understand better than those on low stages?
* what would be, and why, the huge difference of cognition by a crude man and by a pure man?
* why do we live in a body?
* is a body any boundaries as it is all Gungnir?
* is mind able to expand to Glaðheimar, unbounded width?
* does a man who lives Glaðheimar spontaneously support Þund with all his thoughts and actions?
* is his power all-evolutionary?
* where does negativity not exist?

Pitch for Sanskrit and Old Norse 1 min 10 sec:

The text for 1 minute pitch Sanskrit and Old Norse (above):
29 Sanskrit and Old Norse

Here we have something that you might not have come across anywhere before so marvellously laid out. The striking similarities, and connectedness learned from etymology, between Sanskrit and terms and names in our ancient mythology. An amazing likeness of terms and purpose. Scholars seem not to know, as one (a lady), partaking in a European language-forum, holding a degree in linguistics, exclaimed: …as unrelated languages as Icelandic and Sanskrit! She was all wrong due to shallow education.
In this skræða we also learn that icons and cues in the relative world are not to be worshipped. They only indicate that we should be looking for Reality. A reminder on that there is _inside_ something worth seeking and searching.

More to ponder on:

* why would I be so taken in with the research and findings of Keshava Deva Shastri and Christian Andreas Holmboe on correlation of Sanskrit words and their equivalents in Old Norse mythology?
* have you ever heard about this before?
–if yes, then who told/taught you?
–if no, then should this be taught?
* should etymology be a part of teaching our mother-tongues?
* what about teaching Gaelic origin of many many words in Icelandic — which has been right from the times of settlement?
* do we know how Greek Latin got into our languages?
* could Hebrew words be very old in norræna / Old Norse (Stig Bergmann: lost tribes of Israel)
* the grammatical case instrumentalis is beautifully used in Icelandic (–in Latin we say sica vulnerare, instr.; by a sword to wound; in Icelandic we say felmtri sleginn, instr.; by fright struck, in English we say snow-covered ground, instr.–)
* an Icelandic scholar, a woman, expert in etymology of our European languages, spoke about “as unrelated languages as Icelandic and Sanskrit” on an meeting of etymologists; should she, holding a university degree concerning these matters, not have known about the long-ago-published papers by Keshava Deva Shastri and Christian Andreas Holmboe?
* did Max Müller meddle up with the tree of languages as a favour for the British? did he minimize the role of Sanskrit?
* do scholars learn and teach the invented wrongs and lies?
* can you write your name in runes?
* what is a stung rune, stungin rún?
* what are fjárrúnir hagalsrúnir týsrúnir in the 24-rune fuþark?

Pitch for Huginn Muninn Valhöll einherjar 1 min 34 sec:

The text for 1 minute pitch Huginn Muninn Valhöll einherjar (above):
30 Huginn Muninn Valhöll einherjar

Now what would Huginn and Munnin be? Ravens? Real black feathered ravens living with a real Óðinn in his real halls? What is Valhöll? Who are einherjar? I bet you have got it all wrong due to all-wrong interpretations from scholars and others who claim to know all this stupidity of our primitive forefathers. Huginn is a yogi, Muninn is a munih, enlightened living men.
Have you ever heard of a man living higher states of consciousness, being enlightened? Huginn and Muninn are enlightened men living in Valhöll the hall of the enlightened einherjar, fully alive. There are _states_, or stages, of consciousness each one clearly distinct from the others. We all know waking, sleeping in deep sleep, and the dreaming state. But far too few of us know that 4^th one, transcending. That is easy to try out; we only learn the easy technique. See TM.org.
We can get some explanation of the higher states, but we will not fully understand until we get there ourselves. It’ll come in time.

More to ponder on:

* lots of words and word-stems in ancient Norse culture are derived from Sanskrit
* are there other similarities found between the two traditions?
–note: Veda are these four: rigved (samhita, ginnungagap;
–10 mandala of rigved: Prakriti earth water fire air space mind intellect I Purush)
–samaved (rishi óðinn), yajurved (devataa vili), atharvaveda (cchandas véi) — (Vedic literature are the other 36)
* can there occur a drastic confusion when we are trying to sort out and distinguish between: 1)on one hand the knowledge given by crude men living low states, and 2)on the other hand the pure knowledge conveyed by the enlightened ones?
* if yes, then tell me: do we not see the difference until we become enlightened ourselves?
* we only understand the stages, or states, of consciousness through which we have gone,
* we, for example, do see that animals understand differently/less that we do;
* we need to understand that the pure ones are explaining for us that which we do not understand until we get to know our pure consciousness ourselves
* we might well, though, listen to what they tell us about what awaits us all
* a technique, that really works for transcending, to get mind effortlessly to the least exited state, is a necessity
* lots of systems are around which only keep mind in the sphere of thoughts (the word meditation is wildly used)
* we shall have to know that those who offer mind-straining systems, (–i.e. not transcending at all–) can be really convincing, convinced themselves, and good salesmen
* when we speak about really transcending, mind is effortlessly seeking its origin, where there is not thought
* the term spirituality is often used by institutions (and individuals) for _thoughts_ about our higher inherent nature;
* do they know that pure consciousness is easily lived without any intermediaries, without these (expensive) so-called spiritual institutions?
* we should not worship the enlightened one, only learn what he is saying
* we can dearly love an enlightened man (both genders) for telling us, and he will love us for understanding
* we should not worship institutions, not confess belief in such worldly things
* can the words of the crude ones be termed as skáldfíflahlutur? skáld(poet)-fífl(a silly man)-hlutur(share)
* referring to which myth about mjöður (mead of wisdom) and skáldfíflahlutur? (note here Gunnlöð Hnitbjörg Kvasir
Bölverkur, Óðinn as an eagle, delivering wisdom into Ásgarður)
* isn’t it priceless that our spiritual heritage has been preserved?
* did Snorri write it on hide?
* is it possible that the “funny” symbolic language, which was not understood, actually saved forni siður (our ancient traditions) from being destroyed during the dark ages?
* was this primitive “junk” too funny and naïve to be dangerous to the new system? Therefore not destroyed?
* was there a massive propaganda to belittle forni siður?
* is that still to be found? (–not only brainwashed men, but also official institutions who are still at it?–)
* will there always be something to save Truth during dark ages?
* does the collective consciousness of nations get heightened during satyuga (good ages)?
* will understanding then be gained?
* Óðinn is an expert in disguises – he bears some 108 meaningful names
* have his many names a meaning conveying, truly and rationally, the plot and message in context of the particular poem or myth in which he appears?

31 pure nervous system

Nothing is more precious than our human nervous system, and nothing more important than its purity. We are polluting it all the time, not knowing what we are doing, not pricing duly our precious Sleipnir.
It is not human to err. We cannot bear the name “a man” until we are perfectly pure. The simple purifying act _is_: to nýsa niður. TM is a technique easily learned, all-natural. Transcending is the only act, action, that does not bind us. Here we find the apples of Iðunn.
By nýsa niður we purify the whole physiology. When we are pure, we shall _see_. See what? That we are not the daughters of Rán, but are Ægir of Rán. Not just the surface of Ægir, but we are Ægir.
We are not here to toil. We are not here to make a fake look. Not here to impress others. We are here to become pure.

More to ponder on:

* is it human to err?

* do we understand the word meiðmar?
* what is it we give back to Nature for her gifts?
* can anger blind us, be the cause of irrational thinking, wrong acts?
* what can we do to rid ourselves of accumulated filth?
* do we know, perceive of, that we are un-pure?
* do we claim our condition to be absolutely fine as it is?
* are ama-clogged channels just normal? (ama=impurities)
* who would be in the greatest need for the knowledge?
* what effects do stress-producing events have on a crude man?
* how do stressful events affect the enlightened/pure one?
* note: the enlightened still gets his Skuld back — only they do not take the little worldly seas to be but Gungnir
* what is: to sacrifice oneself into consciousness?
* is this word, sacrifice, used abnormally (kill, make superficial rites)?
* does our physiology allow for mind to expand to infinity?
* is our body an obstacle (boundaries) — or is our body a marvellous tool?
* is it difficult for Jesus to love all mankind as himself?

* can we get to that state effortlessly – i.e. to see all as oneself?
* which priceless attributes are damaged by consuming alcohol, drugs, narcotics?
* do we all realize our priceless human attributes, the ability to allow mind to expand into boundless Glaðheimar
* the undeniable intelligence at hand in ginnungagap is mirrored in the Laws of Nature, the flawless flow and order of all there is;
* the phenomena in the universe, so many, so flawless, and so perfect, are completely devoid of any error
* our individual intellect and intelligence is this same intelligence mirrored from ginnungagap — now as attributes of a living man
* and we should know where from our faculties and aptitude come
* we shall have to nurture our boundless, but slumbering, gifts from their very origin, ginnungagap/consciousness — which we do by transcending regularly
* intelligence, creative power and the desire to create, abide in consciousness

The text for 1 min pitch tröll jötnar þurs-maidens wights dwarfs (above):
32 tröll jötnar þurs-maidens wights dwarfs

You might have come across the translation “giants” for the divers and entirely different big powers. This is, flatly, not adequate. Exposes utter lack of understanding terms and their functions.
Tröll are our ignorance, of which we must rid ourselves; we do not see our ignorance because of our ignorance.
Jötnar, eotens, are colossal eaters, the useful sweeping-up department; but -as free radicals in our body they are a very bad squad.
Þursar are old, now useless, states/stages of evolution. We have to leave them behind. Evolving is the purpose of life.
The main thing is to know what we are doing here, I mean, what we should know about what we should be doing here, i.e., I mean: we should know what we are doing here.
But that is not enough. We shall also learn how to avoid stagnation, ignorance, and the danger of “not-doing-anything” regarding the only worthy goal. Óðsmál will teach you how to reach the goal, the easiest way to evolve fast towards perfection, siddhi, enlightenment, the goal of human life-spans.

More to ponder on:

* what is the fundamental difference between theocracies and ancient traditions?
–besides the fact that Heathenry, forni siður (ancient traditions), is neither sold not bought for money
* forni siður gives fulfilment in life and good health
* forni siður is completely useless for gaining power over others
* forni siður is all about understanding the purpose of life
* we all gain fair winds for all good deeds and evolutionary actions, regardless of systems or life-style we might cherish, by nýsa niður, laying our Bifröst (pronounce Biff-roest;
* please do not say buy-frost for Bifröst)
* we can, in this context, read the book Óðsmál – The Unseen Reality (2013) (available on Amazon) and here FREE Óðsmál – The Unseen Reality: Science of Consciousness in Heathenry by odsmal.org
* and the Óðsmál book 2015: How to Lay the Bridge Bifröst – available on Amazon and here FREE How to Lay the Bridge Bifröst, Layer by Layer as if Drizzling Invisible Star-dust by odsmal.org
* is acceptable that education is used to destroy? can we call it education?
* are we educated if we violate the Laws of Nature?
— if no, then what is education and what is not education?
* are the Icelandic words menntun (education) and menning (culture) from the same stem as Icelandic maður (man, mankind, humans)?
* could Nature have been turned into the bad skessa (trolless) in the mountain?
* during the dark aces, Icelanders were not allowed to enjoy the beauty of Nature, — we should rather draw curtains for windows as not to watch Nature, and read psalms and gospels, go to church, for the salvage of the soul
* note again that the ek, the I, individual consciousness ones made, the most subtle of makings,
connects to the element earth, the last to become,
* once the ek / I created, do we begin to fill the garage with stuff
* do wights live, i.e. do they “have a life”, in folklore?
* some folklore and popular stories have been manipulated to the worse; — the original meaning of elves being helpful and good, has been turned to their revenge and evil actions, contrary to the original – Why would that be?
* can some old fairy-tales and bed-time stories have a deeper meaning than we might spot at first sight?
* are we sure to understand concepts, names, poems, godspells found in our forni siður?

Til umhugsunar:

* hver er grundvallarmunurinn á guðveldum og fornum siðum?
–fyrir utan, að heiðni gefur ekki peninga heldur lífsfyllingu og heilzu,
—heiðni er ónothæf til valda
—heiðni gefur aðeins lífsþekkingu
* en allir menn fá meðbyr til allra góðra verka við að nýsa niður
–lesa má í þessu sambandi Óðsmál – The Unseen Reality (2013) (fæst á Amazon og ókeypis hér Óðsmál – The Unseen Reality: Science of Consciousness in Heathenry by odsmal.org) og Að leggja Bifröst, lag fyrir lag og ókeypis hér Að leggja Bifröst (Icelandic version) by odsmal.org
* er ásættanlegt að menntun sé notuð til eyðileggingar? menntun sé notuð til að stríða gegn náttúrulögmálunum?
–ef nei, er hér þá misnotkun á hugtakinu menntun?
* eru orðin menntun og menning samstofna orðinu maður?
* gæti náttúran verið skessan í fjallinu?
* um tíma var Íslendingum bannað að njóta fegurðar náttúrunnar; þeir áttu frekar að draga fyrir glugga og lesa sálma og guðsorðabækur, og fara í kirkju sér til betrunar
* athugið á ný að ek, einstaklingsvitund hið fíngerðasta og fyrst skapað, tengir sig höfuðskepnunni jörðu hinni grófustu
–(og við förum að fylla bílskúrinn af dóti)
* eiga vættir sér líf í þjóðsögum?
* eru sumar þjóðsögur og þjóðtrú orðnar misþyrming á upprunalegri merkingu?
* geta þjóðsagnavættir og ævintýri haft dýpri merkingu en talið er við fyrstu sýn?
* skiljum við örugglega hugtök, nöfn, kvæði, goðsagnir í forna sið?
