The Book Of Anglion (Condensed Version) (5)
by J. Dean Fagerstrom
(34) These events occurred as part of what Maxine had once termed 'the spiritual curriculum of learning' begun in 1954. While their numerical aspects are amazing they remain as spiritual teaching-aids, part of the curriculum I accepted so many years ago.
(35) On the day my father left the world I was in Los Angeles, about a thousand miles from the town where my father was. At around 4 AM on the date of 19550526 I was awakened to see a wonderful sight in soft pastel color, as though a Cinemascope screen had been super-imposed on the opposite wall. I sat up and gazed intently at the scene. I saw my father sitting on a white stone slab, one having no sides or back, just a flat alabaster-like slab of stone. On either side of my father was an angelic person dressing my father with a deep blue gown and placing an even deeper blue-toned stole around his neck. At this my father smiled and lifted his right hand in farewell as he and his two companions slowly elevated and disappeared from view. I got up and made coffee and strolled around the two rooms of my modest apartment, finally going out for breakfast. On returning my landlady was excitedly telling me to call a certain operator. When the connection was made I heard my mother telling me the news of my father's passing. It was exactly the time I had watched the ceremonial acts of the two angelic persons preparing my father for his ascension. A couple years later, as a soldier in Germany, I wrote to the records bureau and received a copy of my father's death certificate, and confirmed the same time of death as just reported.
(36) One may have surmised that my father and I were very close, and this is true. We shared many of the same spiritual affinities, great admirers of the arts and the classical music of the ages. We were different in the respect that the family, very religious of nature and behavior, valued the external acts of worship and church affairs while my father and I might wander into the lovely countryside of coastal Oregon and share a bottle of wine and talk about music, art, science, literature and any number of related topics. I am grateful that it was the Lord's good pleasure and love to allow me to observe the most intricate details of my father's uplifting, his smile of love as he bade farewell. He was a humble and happy man, always poor in the pocketbook but wealthy of the soul. Since that memorable day in 1955 my father has appeared on four occasions.
(37) After Helga's ascension, in the early hours of 19830617, she appeared to me while I was at work. In a similar manner as previously described the opposite wall of my small office disappeared and a heavenly scene appeared. I saw a dancing figure in the distance as I gazed down a white stone boulevard. From my perspective I was looking down this endless stretch of beautiful highway as one might stand in the middle of a freeway. On either side was a curb about a foot high, and as I continued gazing at this spectacle I realized that the curbing did not appear to narrow with the sides of the street itself, but continued in an endless extension, perfectly parallel. The explanation is simple; what I was seeing was not in time or space and therefore no illusion was possible as would be the case were one to gaze down a railroad and observe the rails appearing to narrow at some point. Helga was pirouetting in her approach, a wonderful grace in her movements. She came very close and smiled radiantly as she grasped me as we embraced and kissed. She had this to say, in part: " You have to come up to a higher plane of understanding about several things. It will appear to you as an extension of your former pathway, but another phase is about to dawn. We are all very happy for you. Keep love in your heart and all shall be well." We embraced again and Helga danced back down the alabaster highway, as I have chosen to call it.
(38) The 'other phase' referred to was undoubtedly in reference to the Aphax encounter a few years later.
(39) The preceding events described serve to show how an ex-theologian with a crush on reality determined to find a new pathway in life, one no man or teaching had ordained but which had come from the Lord alone based on a willingness to accept a new curriculum of heavenly teaching as Maxine had termed it.
(40) We would like to show why the ND is infallible as an identifier of so many things numerically. The provincial date of the supreme encounter, 19530313, is added by its corresponding UND, 715374, and to this the Divine NC: Lord Jesus Christ, which in correspondence is 408737, and to this is added the NC of my first name, Justus, or numerically 131231. This gives the sum 20785655 and whose PN is 167 (x124465). One cannot afford to speculate on why 167 is a PN as well as my cumulative ND, and neither why the Divine ND 367 is also a PN, and added successively to 167 forms the NC of CSS as shown above. NC is perfectly epitomized in this equation, using the analog aspect, the resultant digital outcome and finally the prime number function. The rudiments given in the preceding paragraphs should act as guidelines for those desirous of becoming proficient students of TBA. CSS is the earthly arm representing Anglion as noted before. Those at CSS have no personal plans or agendas; the purpose is to receive heavenly information from Aphax and Anglion societies and process it according to the guidelines set forth by Maxine.
(41) A basic understanding of prime numbers and their function is essential in proceeding with TBA. Very simply stated a prime number is a factor that is no longer divisible by any number except itself or 1. It is a pristine number in this sense, one that has relinquished its superfluous values in order to become identified in its purest form. It is a distilling process as well. In a work by Emanuel Swedenborg entitled Heaven and Hell paragraph 263 briefly notes how numbers from a heavenly society descend to a lower community and are there read as spiritual truth; this passage also talks about prefixes which are placed before a given number, and which then act as an introduction to the subject treated. It is noteworthy to reflect on the fact that Swedenborg used paragraph numbering in consecutive manner in all his works, the same thing Maxine advised me to do several years ago. The provincial date of birth of Swedenborg, as already shown, is 16880129. This date as a mathematical factor divides by 64183 and reveals the PN 263 appropriately enough considering what preceded above. As a guiding notation one should be aware that TBA has nothing whatever to do with traditional 'numerology' or any branch of the same. There are no obscure codes or arcane notations involved, either. TBA makes use of the prime number table and the other two functions, analog/digital, as explained. Since the PN 89 is the PN of the word Anglion, or 1573965 divided by 17685 - I was asked one day by Maxine what I thought about placing 89 before the NC of my first name, Justus, or written as suggested: 89131231. At first Maxine asked me what this configuration of numerals signified, and I said: it means that I am to represent Anglion at CSS. She then said: proceed with your computation. This number, 89131231, factors by 93527 and reveals 953 as its PN. If 953 is programmed and successively added to my provincial date of birth, 19320207, another date will appear after 598 additions: 19890101, the provincial date of the Aphax encounter. When I first saw this result a few years ago it seemed astonishing that mathematical dates correctly written in eight-digit manner, would produce such a result. As one will note we are dealing with simple arithmetical processes although the outcome of many things yet to be seen will appear incredible were it not for the infallible prime number table.
(42) The Gospels state that Jesus Christ was born during the reign of Augustus, and from whom we derive the name of the month August, the sign of Leo, meaning lion. In one book of the Word the messiah is called the Lion of the tribe of Judah. The traditional date of Christmas really has no meaning other than its rightful tribute to the God of love. There were no shepherds in the fields with their flocks in December unless one is referring to Australia. On 19690811 my son David was born. It was not until 1997 that Maxine offered a word about this most auspicious date. She said I might accept this birth as a sign that my research was correct. The significance here does not rely on the circumstances so much as upon the numerical impact of 10811, the properly written date of the Divine birth.
(43) Maxine said several years ago that instead of using the term 'subtract' that the term used should be reduce. In view of this advice one will note that reduce will be used frequently but never the arithmetical term 'subtract'.
(44) Since my corrected date of birth is 19370207, as explained previously, the corresponding correct date of the Divine birth, 10811, is reduced once. This will result in the PN 4519 (x4284). The result should bear some sort of significance contextually. We add the UND-B of Swedenborg, 618539, to my UND-B, 707669, the sum being 1326208 and whose PN is 797 (x1664). From the above PN 4519 we now reduce the Divine ND 367 and also my own, 167; this leaves 3985 whose PN is also 797 (x5). A genuine context will confirm countless things, the few thus far given only a sampling of what is to come.
(45) When we refer to the Divine NC we mean the words Lord Jesus Christ, the entitlement 'Lord' signifying an acknowledgment that Jesus Christ is Lord of heaven and earth. When the Lord was on earth He was 'in His human' from year 10811 until 360407, meaning the corrected date as compared with traditional chronology as 30 A.D. The Divine NA was 13023 days from birth until the crucifixion on 7 April 36 A.D.
(46) There is another method of forming a numerical matrix. In the following example we use the PN of the Divine NA, 13023, which is 1447 (x9). The NC of Jesus Christ is 405043, its PN 13967 (x29). 1447 x 13967 is 20210249. Obviously this result can be divided only by its two mathematical elements as just shown. From 20210249 is reduced my UND-B 707669 and reveals the PN 325043 (x60). We now add back the NC Jesus Christ, or 405043 to 325043 showing 730086 whose PN is 17383 (x42).
(47) This PN and key, 17383, will be shown as a very revealing number as we proceed. Before showing what 17383 signifies we must explain what is meant by the Anglion Quorum. The quorum's number is the total of ten names as to their respective NCs. This list is as follows: Lord Jesus Christ )( 408737. Emanuel )( 5415353. Aphax )( 17816. Ernest )( 595512 (my father). Edith )( 54928 (my mother). Harry )( 81997 (the name of a Swedenborgian minister and close friend). John )( 1685 (my youngest brother who passed away in 1969). Helga )( 85371. Maxine )( 416955. Justus )( 131231. This sum as the added NCs of ten names shows 7209585.
(48) Perhaps an expected reaction concerning loved ones and family members in such a context as shown above would tend to imply a highly subjective approach to the subject introduced. This is not the case whatever as Maxine explained years ago. She informed as follows: " At birth you were assigned what we term a 'designated series', and which means that your numerical series acts as a mathematical model for the sake of transmitting spiritual truth through numerical correspondence. "
(49) We now divide 17383 into 7209585; this shows 414. 13023. This is the method used to show a divisor and its quotient, the latter underlined, the number to its left the whole-number as division. It is highly confirming that from these ten names' NCs the result reveals the Lord's NA, the number of days in His human. The symbol used above, )(, means 'corresponds-to'.
(50) We now program 17383 and successively add it to 13023 -as though we were going to arrive at the number shown above, 7209585; but at a certain point we halt in this addition process. The number 725726 appears. From the NC of CSS, 1704515, is reduced 725726 and this leaves 978789 and whose PN is 367 (x2667). It probably is no wonder that the Divine ND has appeared since, as demonstrated before, 367 added to 167 reveals 1704515. (See No. 40).
(51) Maxine once told me that the PN 101 signifies conjunction of individuals and societies as to affinities and mutual spiritual pursuits. The aggregate number above, 7209585, shows the PN of 1223 (x5895). From the key PN 17383 is reduced 1223 and shows 16160 whose PN is 101 (x160). This among several other reasons is why 17383 was formulated.
(52) The essential tools and equipment used in both the journals and TBA are rather simple and inexpensive. In the mid 70s I bought several calculators of ten-digit capacity and a date function. This latter feature is very important since it shows the eight-digit year-month-day day in this sequence, the only correct way to state this information. It also shows the day of the week of any given date from 1901 to 2099, as well as the number of days between any two dates in that time span. I also have the prime number tables in four volumes, from 1 to over half a million, a vital reference system in this work. These simple tools provide the means to get the 'donkey-work' done. A few years ago someone had written a book in which certain of my experiences were related, and later, after two television appearances, a very kind woman called me. She was a mathematician. As we talked about mutual topics of interest she offered to help me locate an extended prime number table, and that is how this kind person helped in this vital need. Another person, a physicist, having access to a very sophisticated computer system -helped me locate a certain PN which we may now discuss. The two words: Numerical Correspondence reveals the very large NC of 36995711144848. This number factors by 36944 and reveals the PN 1001399717. The first thing one should realize about PNs is that they are surrogates of some other number as just depicted above. Whenever we use the large PN just noted it is underlined, not only because it is a PN but also because it signifies numerical correspondence in a specific manner. The symbol for this PN is NC. When this underlined symbol occurs it simply designates 1001399717 as distinguished from the more general subject of numerical correspondence as a generic topic.
(53) The pertinent correspondences of Anglion and CSS are shown in the following table.
(54) Emanuel Swedenborg ……………………………….. 1559968050
Justus Dean Fagerstrom …………………………….. 6176048710
Provincial Founding date of Anglion …………………..17720127
UND of above ………………………………………………649218
Provincial Founding date of CSS……………………….19870509
UND of above ………………………………………………727849
NC: Anglion………………………………………………..1573965
NC: The Center Of Sacred Studies……………………….1704515
Sum of the above: 7778262943
PN of above sum: 2131 (x3650053)
(55) As noted entire names are shown above as to their respective NCs, thus avoiding any ambiguity as to what is depicted. The importance of the formulation above relies on its PN, 2131. The NC of the word English is 5573918, its PN 197 (x28294). From NC (meaning 1001399717) is reduced 197 and shows 1001399520 whose PN is 2131 (x469920). It should be obvious that the use of the word English does not refer to English 101 in a mid western college but rather to the analog source from which the numeric digital results emanate. The provincial date of Anglion's founding, 17720127, was disclosed by Maxine along with many other details to be shared later.
(56) The table shown is very explicit in its break-down, and where numbers are concerned this aspect is imperative as anyone will acknowledge. One principle Maxine stated many years ago sounds like this: You are not required to attempt 'proving' anything; the functions you have been shown, especially the prime number function, make use of the known in order to reveal the hitherto unknown. We abide by this principle throughout TBA.
(57) A further explanation regarding the Anglion quorum may be necessary. Initially I had my own concerns about mentioning so many family members, friends and those like Emanuel and Maxine who appeared at the times stated. Angels will not tell anyone what to do where it concerns one's spiritual progress. The Lord does not permit any violation of a person's free will in a matter since such an act would make one a hypocrite by not acting from the freedom of love in the soul. A conversation with an angel occurs in one's deepest sources, at first manifested as an affinity and love for the good and true. As spiritual truths are stored in the mind and heart and genuinely acted from in daily life these things act as the connectives to an angelic mind, and wonderful conjunctions may occur as a result. The fundamental principle one always confronts is the world-ego, that illusory and psychotic aspect of the mind many individuals accept as their true selfhood. Once the ego is relinquished and replaced by a love for the truth everything changes in dynamic ways. Those members of the quorum are no more 'special' than I; we simply have learned how to love, and to become willing to do the Lord's will in both heaven and earth. Heaven, in real terms, is a new human society, a social order where giving and sharing is of the highest value as opposed to gain for the self. Those members of the quorum, or Anglion society, are usually represented by their emissary angel, Maxine, although at certain times individuals have encountered me as reported. No attempt is ever made to prescribe such a heavenly protocol; the Lord governs all things in perfect ways. Yet even in the most intimate framework of a social and familial context the members of Anglion have been caused to make themselves known in unmistakable ways since CSS acts as the earthly ambassador of Anglion. No one on earth ever made such plans or organized any such structure. It was only little by little that I understood Maxine's constant tutelage to the best effect. This final unity occurred on 19890101 as stated.
