Den Tredje Akt

Boka er nummer tre i ein trilogi om å bli seg bevisst sin åndelige opprinnelse. Et oppgjør med dødsangseten som er plantet ned fra våre kulturelle teologier, der splittelse og segresjon er satt som skille mellom oss mennesker, for å dele vinneren fra taperen. 

Dette primitive livssynet som etter kvart har blitt et kollektivt adferdsmønsteret, skaper videre ein mengde indre og ytre konflikt i dei individer som prøver å tilfasse seg denne modellen, definert som Den Første Akt i boka.

Den Andre Akt, er når individet ikkje lenger klarer å innfri den kultiverte modellen, og begynner å søke sin opprinnelse og åndelige tilhørighet. 

Den Tredje Akt, er når individet oppdager og erkjenner sin tilhørighet med alt som er, og velger å leve i tillit til at ingen hendelser er tilfeldig, at alt som skjer er me sjølv skaperene av, og derav begynner å ta ansvar for våre tanker, holdninger og gjerninger fra ein kosmisk bevisshet klarhet om enhet. 

Blue Tide

With my 25th album, Blue Tide, that is a complete instrumental, I have followed the magic of the intuitive and the impulsive, where the imprints from cultivated thinking did not catch up. The project started from a moody blue feeling one evening, where I said out load with my guitar in my hands; "I don't think I have it anymore". Next experience was like God replied; "So you don't?.. we'll see about that"! And like magic was dropped down on me, new and original ideas popped in one by one.

Next day I went through the video that my loved one Kari had recorded from this happening, and this strong blue light brightened up through the windows on the recording.

This could be a nice cover for an album I thought, and from there I was lightfully guided through the recording sessions in my studio, that happened naturally impulsive and without no boundaries or limitations from the ego-control perspective. Only pure creativity from the source of music was guided through my hands, that followed the inputs willingly and trustfully.                                                                

After six weeks from the beginning of August to mid September 2024, 11 pieces of beautiful new guitar-instrumental music was recorded, with rhythm guitars, bass guitars and solo guitars. A half year later, after editing was done in also felt as guided moments, I began to record keyboard sounds and sometimes B3 organ on different tracks. Since my son Kenneth was occupied, I hired the Portuguese session drummer Nuno Oliveira that lives in London, who did a remarkable good job!

For me, this project is showing the way of God. How the essence of Love still works through those who are blessed with a humble heart and attitude. God love to surprise those who have accepted in fully to be an instrument for divine creativity based on enthusiastic and inspirational Love. The album also marks, by each song title, a sentence that tell how the humanly cultivated mind is limited compared to the essence of God.. whom guides so surprisingly original and beautiful when the receiver is open and not competitive, but in trust and in love with the source that creates.
