Abstract: : tröll jötnar þursar - not ““ at all ! Which is what?

A priest teasingly (and haughtily) said: Heathens believe in tröll and jötnar and þursar. Now, what does the priest actually mean by his term “belief, believe in”?

We should understand the meaning of terms and names in our Norse mythology. Names convey half the story. Óðinn has many names in context to the message of the / poem. We should understand the meaning of terms tröll, and jötnar, and þursar, so to know their roles in our lives. Reading manuscripts is a tricky , there are many traps. As a funny example, misreading þursa-meyjar III for þursa-megir III. Óðinn gives meat to his dogs, Geri and Freki, what is that meat? Who are the world’s first famous drag-queens?

Þrymskviða poem - see how our kids can --meaningfully and with profound understanding-- perform a ritual on a blót: - Edda poem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd36sEtq7Q4 English version, Icelandic version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unkIswNeb-k

Þursar are old evolutionary states. How can ever get married to that?

Tröll, jötnar, and þursar are not typically seen around. They might be tiny, or invisible, or not counted for in daily life. But they are here, none the less. No way giants !! Giants (meaning big ones, gigantes) is a terribly misleading translation. This occurs due to utter lack of understanding of the meaning of terms. Tröll and jötnar and þursar are so tricky, that we can term them invisible to the naked eye.

“Not for real” applies to tröll and þursar, and means here: we should not be dragging any nuisance along in life. But jötnar are a necessity, even though sometimes they are too fast, too quick at breaking down our stuff.

Now which is what?

* Tröll (plural nominative case; singular nominative also tröll) are our unseen ignorance. Sadly, our ignorance is the very cause of our not seeing our ignorance. We drag tröll along, they bar our sight, besides, that we have no idea what real life is without them. As we see it, this is how life should be (--in its full glory--). We know not better.

We see not because of our ignorance and base state of consciousness. See not Sun, goddess of enlightenment What a dilemma! How can we amend an un-seen problem!

Fenrir The ignorant man feeds , Fenrisúlfur; Our only enemy is our tröll, our ignorance; the ignorant man sees that not. We realize not how we feed Fenrir. See not our lack of our innermost nourishing all-pervading intelligence.

The role of Mjöllnir in this ignorance-context, is to rid us of our (unseen) tröll (ignorance). We, perhaps, know not that there is anything to batter away? We might even start thinking there are some enemies somewhere out there who make our life difficult, or become annoying for us. Blame them, these imagined enemies, for something in our lives. There are no enemies but our tröll (unseen ignorance). Ignorance is so blinding.

Reminds of the Churchian fool-prove argument: -If thou believest not (/knowest not) that Satan exists, then that is a proof of that thou art completely possessed by Him. It proves that Satan has gone into thee, and brainwashed thee to the extent that thou deniest His existence. - Yes, a fool-prove proof.

Þór ber tröll (batters tröll) and so lets in the rising Sun in the east

Mjöllnir, mjöll meldur mjöl mölun, words which indicate grinding to flour or dust, or even to be blown away - gone with the wind. In the Faroes-language also whirl-wind, or going in circles. We shall learn how to wield Mjöllnir. -OK, Þór batters away our tröll of ignorance - but how do we wield Mjöllnir? -By nýsa niður. The rest takes care of itself, or Mother Nature takes care of the rest. Or goddess , the sin-sieve. Goddess Syn is the refusal of filth and sin, she stands for our purity. Her name tells us all this.

Goddess Syn, so motherly: -No no! my boy. Thou art not entering like this! Her name Syn refers to: refusal denial synjun sin satt sattva satya truth. She is a sieve into purity.

* Jötnar (singular jötunn) are the recycling of so-called “matter”, or that ever-flickering and intangible in the universe, of which we make an awful lot of rubbish. We might call it “our stuff”.

(yellow on picture, recycling dept.)

Our jötnar are the most necessary recycling department: mould, rust, decay, corrosion. Our surplus creation of useless stuff would become a serious problem without our jötnar. Let alone the garage full of toys for grown-ups, but, seriously: we should not have filled the oceans with plastic, and our air with smog.

* Þursar (plural singular þurs) are old evolutionary states. We drag þursar along. When a more evolved state of man (of each individual, or mankind as a whole) takes over, the ones, now past and useless, must go. We have to let go of that what is no longer useful.

"The important thing is this: to be able, at any moment, to sacrifice what we are for what we could become." Maharishi

We have seen that þursameyjar (þurs-maidens, daughters of the old extinct not-needed þursar) take over: Skaði Þjazadóttir, Gerður Gymisdóttir. Gunnlöð Suttungsdóttir, Þursameyjar III.

Gerður garden, protection that closure, fence, paradisos, of Skaði (Skanda Skandinavía) - Our inner Skaði Njörður Baldur dilemma Gunnlöð she who lures to battle, gunn guð, verb laða to lure

I work on þursameyjar III - 3 þurs-maidens, the misreading from a manuscript, to make those happy who learned about them in school in the wrong context. Now we see that they are here - still going strong.

Skaði öndurdís - öndur from according to C.A.Holmeboe.

Do we know that Skaði, the þurs-maiden, robustly rushes into Ásgarður and demands Baldur the sun-god as compensation for her father’s death?

Skaði öndurdís, Skaði seeks Baldur, Gunnlöð and - the of wisdom, Gerður in the fence of material life.

Skaði in us seeks Baldur sun-god on the highest peaks of human life, but we are stuck with Njörður, our life in a body. So we make a beautiful compromise: Do both. 9 nights in each.

Note that 9 nights, or 9 days, in our , means no real time. The number 9 is here the timelessness of the unworldly, where time and space is not.

Njörður man is torn between spiritual and material life the dilemma of a love-triangle, hmmm?

Evolution to the highest is what we make a body for. Now we shall understand why we have decided to be born.

Q. Why does not anyone teach us, tell us, what we are here for? A. Óðsmál does. Child’s play to understand every term.

In Skírnismál Edda poem, sends his divine ray, , to Gerður, to point out to her that there is more to life than material wealth --as good as abundance is for us--. Hrímþursar are stagnation on our evolutionary path, þursar old states of evolution, now to be discarded.

Byggvir and , Freys servants, barley-guy and dough-kneading-girl. Freyr wants us also to enjoy material bounty in life.

Do not go in for scholars’ interpretation of Gunnlöð in Hnitbjörg --meant for school-kids-- in their Edda poems edition:

©Jóhann Briem

Bölverkur uses worm-holes to get into Hnitbjörg for the mead of wisdom. This is both physics and theosophy from our forefathers.

Rati gnaws, Óðinn in guise of a worm, and in guise of an eagle his stomach full and a bit heavy.

Suttungur was not going to let go of the mjöður. The old can be tough to rid oneself of. But Gunnlöð gave it away freely - in the cave inside us, Hnitbjörg. Note: Reading manuscripts is not an easy task at all. Besides that our huge grammar often is a source of severe trouble. There are to be found wrong readings of manuscripts, which have mislead us, - such as þursameyjar for þursamegir.

Apart from additions made by some that misunderstood the context and the plot, and “corrected“ (hmmm?) to fit into their wrong understanding.

þursameyjar (-meyjar maidens) was a mis-reading in manuscripts of þursamegir (-megir, mögur, mac, meaning sons). Icelandic mögur (son) same word as Gaelic mac (son).

Lots of Gaelic in Icelandic since settlement of Iceland (800+sth). Þursamegir iii (þurs’-sons three) þurs-macs (sons) are the three qualities of Mother Nature, the rulers of the world ! triguna:

. sattva rajas tamah Reading manuscripts is not an easy task at all. Grammar: megir noun masculine plural nominative (sons), meyjar noun feminine plural nominative, _or_, feminine singular genitive (maiden)

Þursameyjar III (þurs-maidens three) or þursamegir III (þurs-macs (sons) three)

Þursamegir III appeared on the stage when Æsir (the gods) were about to work out the Big Bang : tefldu teitir í túni “unz kómu” (played happily in The Field “until came” þursamegir III) - the Laws of Nature happily being arranged in perfect order in the Unified Field of Total Natural Law - unz = until - until

Almighty Nature’s 3 qualities, the 3 guna: sattva rajas tamah showed up !!! The rulers of the world. They are guna, qualities, found in everything. Even in us. They are the bossy III qualities of Almighty Nature ámáttk mjök. They are in all created things, phenomena, and (thereby) in us.

In addition to jötnar (recycling of stuff), we also have Geri and Freki who stand for the recycling of the “meat” we leave behind, when we ourselves pay a visit to for a coffee-break between life-spans.

In the end of the stories, the hero jumps out of the wolf´s belly fully alive. Óðinn gives meat to his dogs, while Óðinn(/we) live on wine (flow of knowledge) alone. Wine in myths and fabulae is not alcohol.

Note: We know that some sun-gods have been changed to grape-wine intoxication symbols (Dionisos, Bacchus), but Tammus, Jesus, and Baldur were lucky not to suffer this distortion).

Our bodies go to the dogs for recycling after use, but önd skal lifa og aldreigi týnast ( shall live and never perish). Nothing ever dies. The death of a man is just discarding the recyclable Gungnis-case that we made for this particular life-span, when this life-span is no longer supported by the owner’s Urður Verðandi . It was ever- changing all our life anyway.

body is Gungnir we are consciousness

Óðinn æ við vín eitt unir - Óðinn, our consciousness, always by wine/flow alone always dwells Consciousness flows in sheer delight - we flow in sheer delight

We ourselves, the real we, do not go to the dogs. Oh, no. Our individual consciousness expands to be universal consciousness when no longer fenced in the cage, the case, our home-made body made of Gungnir.
