Seven Years with the Grail Trilogy.

It is now three years since ”The Grail”, the third and last book in the Grail Trilogy, was published. I’ll never forget the day I added the final fullstop to the manuscript. It marked the drawing to a close of a state of mind which had lasted throughout the seven years it took me to write the trilogy, which, as well as ”The Grail”, includes ”The Seer from Andalusia” and ”The Magdalene”.

For seven years I had been the favourite of the gods. For those seven years I had had the feeling of being chosen – of being able to walk on water. It was as if all my qualities had been released during that period. I began to work with healing and it came so naturally that people flocked to me to be healed and to receive help and counselling, so much so that I didn’t realize how much I was overloading my energy system. As far back as 1999, when I walked down Mount Montsegur in the company of the Seer for the first time, I heard myself say that that meeting would give rise to three books that I would write. The Seer didn’t comment immediately, but that evening, as we sat by the fire in our house in the village of Montsegur, he said: ”You are right. You will certainly write three books which will have our meeting as their starting point, but I will only appear in two of them.” And that is exactly what happened.

I have no wish to make a fool of myself, and I am always very careful in the use of such expressions as ’channelling’, ’clairvoyance’ etc. because they have become very over-used these days. There was a time when one could hardly move in the alternative environment without bumping into a wall of clairvoyants who almost fell over each other in order to offer their assistance. It’s also my opinion that one should approach that kind of subject with great humility, because, even though everyone, in principle, has access to these skills, it requires many years of experience in the use of them before one is ready to counsel others. As the Seer said: ”One can’t find more than a small handful of authentic clairvoyants in Europe. And one must always keep in mind that to be clairvoyant is one thing, and to be a seer quite another.”

That I, nevertheless, chance my arm here, is due to the fact that I can see there were unknown forces at work whilst I wrote the three books. I am fully aware of the greater part of the material and take full responsibility for it. That part is the result of my own experiences and reflections, together with the material I have acquired through many years of study. But – and that is what strikes me when I read the books today – there is a lot of material in them which leaves me wondering where on earth it came from, especially material about Mariam Magdalene and Yeshua. At the same time I can see that precisely that material is the result of a kind of channelling which I have been able, subsequently, to follow up on through my insight into the Aramaic language, the Apocryphal scriptures, the Dead Sea scrolls, the Old Testament pseudepigraphicals, Filon and Josephius’ writings, the Vedas etc.

The above-mentioned summer when I finished the last book, was simultaneously the ending of a seven year sojourn in paradise. From one moment to the next the rug was pulled from under me and, for a while, all my privileges were removed. A good friend, Jette Simonsen, from the Sophia bookshop in Aarhus put things nicely in perspective when she said: ”Yes, but Lars, remember now that it wasn’t you who wrote those books. You were merely a channel that was deemed worthy to receive and pass on the material that is woven through the books”. And then she ended off with words that only very good friends can get away with: ” Maybe it’s now time that you read your books yourself and begin to practice some of what they prescribe”. If I didn’t like Jette as much as I do I would surely have throttled her on the spot, but I wasn’t in the least doubt that she was absolutely right.

The three books are magical. One can read them over and over and each time find something new in them. They are filled with information, insights and spiritual guidance that can be used by all, no matter on what plane one finds oneself. There are things in them that I didn’t understand a year ago, but which now unfold themselves as welcome insights in relation to the things I’m working on at the moment.

It has been a great privilege to be allowed to work with the Grail Trilogy. Today I know why that material needed to come through me. It needed to because I, for most of my life and, without knowing it, have prepared myself to be the ”midwife” for exactly that type of material. I am convinced that, when such material is channelled through someone, it can’t avoid being coloured by that person and his/her limitations. But it’s obvious to me that everything that I personally haven’t been in control of, other, higher forces have been more than helpful in putting into place. The three books are now gathered into one volume in English under the title ”The O Manuscript”. It has been updated in those areas where I have achieved greater insight.

”The Grail Trilogy” or ”The O Manuscript” is not for just anyone, but for all and sundry who are ready to read it. If those who need the book don’t find it, the book will surely find them. In this way ”The O Manuscript” is now slowly finding its friends throughout the world.

I’m so grateful that it’s possible.

I’ve now had the bounty of being able to take yet another step on the path and, through new experiences and insights, am in the process of writing a direct continuation of the Trilogy. That work started when, a year and a half ago, I met ”by chance” A.M. some place in the Pyrenees. That was the start of a new journey, whose destination is, at the moment, unclear. But every day I continue the search, step by step, word by word, sentence by sentence.

In deep gratitude.

The Book

This is the trilogy you, dear reader, now hold in your hand. Don’t let yourself be misled by the three subtitles. This is NOT another book about the Holy Grail, Jesus and Mary Magdalene based on the usual theses and theories that, over the years, have become trivialised. Instead The O Manuscript is the result of one man’s moving journey into “another reality” towards a more genuine and authentic way of being. A journey that engages from the outset and, unlike most of the other books in this genre, doesn’t mislead with irrelevant who-done-it riddles. Instead The O Manuscript opens up to the very centre of man’s true mystery. The insight one gets through the author’s meeting with another reality is mirrored synchronistically in the epic and dramatic story of the forgotten feminine power: the uniting of eros and agape, being recounted parallel to the author’s story. Book 1 mirrors the masculine principle, while Book 2 portrays the feminine. Book 3 is dedicated to the mystery of the bridal chamber, where the masculine and the feminine become united as an isogenic entity.

When Book 1, The Seer, came out in the author’s homeland in 2000 it didn’t awaken all that much interest, but despite that the trilogy has since reached cult status in Scandinavia and sold in ever greater numbers. The book also came out at an early date in a Russian translation and is now, with this English translation, on its way out into the wider world.

Book 1, The Seer, takes as its starting point Lars’ illness, his meeting with the Seer and their work on the holy mountain of Montsegur in the southern French Pyrenees. The book is not only a spell-binding introduction to the ancient gnosis of everything’s interconnectedness, but also a critical evaluation of a long list of limiting new age dogmas.
When Lars and the Seer part, the latter hands an old manuscript into the author’s care; a manuscript that, surprisingly, turns out to be a doorway to the events that take place in the following two books of the trilogy.

Book 2, The Magdalene, came out at the same time as “The Da Vinci Code”, and unfolds along two themes: the author’s continuing work with and parting from the Seer and his glimpse into the collective Akasha, where he is confronted with Mary Magdalene as the feminine force’s most outstanding archetype and also as a historic person. Among the book’s high points is the moving description of Jesus and Mary Magdalene’s time together and their mutual initiation in the bridal chamber.

Book 3, The Grail, which on its publication and without any publicity whatsoever, flew straight into first place on the bestseller list, deals with the author’s fateful meeting with Sylvia, an old priestess in The Order of The World Mother. It’s the story of the quest she decrees he must take. We follow him on his twofold path where he meets his own feminine counterpart/anima and at the same time recognises things that bring him to understand the feminine archetype’s significance for our present time.
Among the book’s many high points are the author’s meeting with a nameless Being of Light in a hidden cave on the holy mountain of Montsegur and in Mary Magdalene’s secret cave near Périllos in the southern French Pyrenees.
During the first meeting with this Being of Light Lars gets the chance to travel with The Chariot of Fire (Merkabah) and, during this and the second meeting, receives answers that challenge many of today’s spiritual dogmas.

The books distinguish themselves by being written in such a way that, in spite of their complicated subject matter, they are suitable for a wide readership. The many layers to be found in the texts mean that both beginners and the more initiated in these themes are struck by the authenticity of the words and the author’s ability to bring “heaven down to earth” or ”the reader nearer heaven”.

The O Manuscript is not just another spiritual sweetener but the beginning of a most exciting journey for anyone who reads it.
The books are not to be read merely to be “understood”, but to be absorbed into the very texture of your conscious being and your higher Self.

Dear unknown Friend, dear Sister, dear Brother.

There was once a monastery-like religious community. Each day when the congregation celebrated Mass, the monastery cat disturbed the holy ritual. The abbot therefore asked someone from the congregation to tie the cat up so that Mass could continue in peace.
This went on for many years. When the abbot died they continued tying up the cat up each day just before Mass.
Then the cat died. The new abbot immediately ordered that a new cat should be acquired to be tied up before Mass. Everybody rejoiced since this was what they had always done.
However, one day a newcomer asked why they tortured the poor animal in this way. The question raised a great commotion and the man who asked the question was immediately expelled from the monastery. In order to make sure that something like this would never happen again, some of the scholars among them began writing theological treaties about the necessity of tying up a cat before each and every Mass.

Religions and theology as well as interpretations of historical events have often been the cause of very funny misunderstandings. But usually such misunderstandings have lead to catastrophic results. Usually because both religion and history are expressions of the limitation of those who wrote it.
Throughout time, historiography and religion have been used as a means for power. The truth about the many troubles of the world, e.g. the holocaust, as well as the truth about the many wonders of the world, e.g. Christ, may at any time be seen and read in the great cosmic memory, the Akasha-field, by those who tune in to it. Insight into the flow behind the so-called historical events may be gained through two channels: Either through the horizontal, time-related one, or through the vertical, transcendental, visionary one, which dissolves time and place.

Transcendental visions may always be understood in more than one way. When they are written down it isn’t necessarily because they should be taken literally, or because they claim to be expressions of so called historical facts. They are, first and foremost, allegories about life’s true secrets. They represent the most profound wisdom of the heart that opens us to possibilities that blow to pieces any kind of habitual thinking, all cold facts and all limited ideas of reality with its crushing tyranny. Visions are priceless echoes from the Akasha-field.

The vision about the Grail is first and foremost the story about all that we seem to have forgotten. The Grail is neither a secret, worldly treasure in the shape of a cup, a specific mortal woman, nor a hidden, chosen family somewhere in the world.
The Grail is a state of heart and mind!
A multidimensional consciousness accessible to all who dare: to let go of time’s cosy little crime mysteries; to get up from the soft couch of comfort; to find the courage to set out on the quest for the Grail and to take the quantum leap most people only dare dream about.
I am myself simply an itinerant errand boy who is only just awakening and beginning to understand the language of transcendence, which is accessible to all who are prepared to make the effort to learn it.

This book is a personal document that attempts to describe some personal experiences and acknowledgements. But the chronological order of events has had to give way to the truth, which may be seen between the lines only. It is only in the gaps, where words do not get in the way that the true quest for the Grail and O may begin. I wish you a pleasant journey.
