Emerson and Swedenborg ON Mars..... >>That page has also got a quote from Emanuel Swedenborg... are you listening Fred ? hehe "In every idea a multitude of new ideas is lying dormant." --Emmanual Swedenborg members.tripod.com (one of Frederick's favorite gurus!) ;) PS: just love that Sansom quote so much...>> Mars: That WAS a great quote!! Again, many many many thanks to X!! She's a treasure chest of multiple meanings and layers and wonders!! In reference to Swedenborg, you forgot something.... >>"In every idea a multitude of new ideas is lying dormant." --Emmanual Swedenborg "A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam that flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his own thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a sort of alienated majesty." --Emerson>> Many folks forget that Emerson was influenced greatly by the works of Emanuel Swedenborg. There's a key road which runs right through Evanston which is called "Emerson" when it reaches the last few blocks which connect to Sheridan and actually points directly to University Hall where out front of which is the famous "ROCK". One of Evanston's most famous past residents who had had an incredible and lasting influence over the design, growth and development of Chicago was also influenced heavily by Emanuel Swedenborg - ie. architect Daniel Burnham who is the great grandfather of my God Father, the late Hubert "Sailor" Burnham. And, numerically speaking, Emerson (5459165) equates exactly with Everson which is a 15,000 acre ranch in Montana that goes back all the way to 1885 which has been in our family since the beginning. And Emerson turns into Golf (7636) which is 23 "I AM" (x83). 76 = GO and my birthday is 36 days into each New Year. And there are 83 prime days between my birthday and the first day of the New Fifth Era which began 21 years after I was born on 19790429. And Golf is highway "58" which is the year I was born - ie. 1958 - which was the beginning of the 23rd "I AM" Anglion cycle of 89 years since our Lord created the provincial calendar as "an effect" manifesting from "a spiritual cause" which proceeded forth from "ONE End" which is His glorious and perfect divine order and providence. And if you draw a line exactly from the tip of the Bahai Temple and connect it to our house - where we live today - this line will intersect exactly at an intersection where three (3) roads come together as ONE (1) - ie. 1) route 43 as in my age last year, 2) route 58 which is the year I was born which is also Golf Road, and 3) route 14 which is a number which rings in many ways for is the days between "my father's" - earthly father's - birthday and my own and it's also the route which if left to continue would go directly into Dempster Street which is the southern edge of the 1300-1400 block in Evanston where my parents lived when they first got married and where I lived for a while at 1400 Chicago and it's also part of Route 14 which is Northwest Highway which is the area my family migrated to here in Chicago-Montana-Washington which leads into Lake Shore Drive on one side and and Lincoln Avenue on the other side. And Lincoln Avenue goes "against the grain" on a diagonal all the way through Chicago until everything merges ultimately with the Lake and Lakeshore Drive. And the other thing about Emerson-Golf-58 is that it heads due-west to the great town of Elgin Illinois which is where my great, great - and deeply religious and happy and fun - grandfather, Thomas George Fonnereau Dolby came in the mid-1880's with his 13 children from Dulwich England after his first wife passed away. And my deeply religious - some would say crazy - great great grandmother Florence Dolby Wolfe was the mother to my mother's father who is the chap who grew up in Elgin and who's father was a travelling world evangelist who never had two nickles to rub together. So my grandfather headed west to Montana after ag-school in St. Paul and in a little town of Denton Montana he met this spectacularly beautiful incredibly dashing and fun brunette country girl by the name of Dorothea Evers from the old, old ranch which "in them parts" is known as "Everson" for it was a gathering place of goodwill for the original homesteaders for it was the local post office and there were 8 big Ever's brothers who were raised on the rance, one of them being my great grandfather Bill Evers. And just so the symmetry is pefect there's another road, route 19 which is known as Irving Park which stretches all the way on a great diagonal from Elgin and snakes it's way all the way into the great city of Chicago until it neatly and snugly boarders the southern tip of a very famous cemetary known as Graceland which is where the remains of my father's mother and father are interred in a mausoleum with the name of Kaiser. And on the second to the last day of my father's life here on this earth my mother, father and I were standing in prayer out front of this mausoleum in this beautiful cemetary where all the great leaders and founders of this great city of Chicago are buried. And in the middle of this beautiful lake-pond inside Graceland is "Burnham Island" which is where the original Burnham family members are buried. For we had just come from a ceremony, reception and then onto the burial site of my God mother, Sally Burnham, who was this wonderfully cheerful and exceedingly caring and giving soul who lived "a wonderful life." And then after this prayer we drove back through Evanston and around the northshore. There was this "feeling" in the air which was hard to describe for it was as if the Lord was setting this whole thing up as kind of grand conjunction for my father to meet and be around all of these folks from his days here at Northwestern in Evanstone years ago, etc. My father wasn't acting like himself. He was not "with it." He was a bit edgy and got lost a few times. But we had this wonderful weekend. And there was this wonderful final dinner which we all had at a restaurant owned by an old fratunity brother of his which is just around the corner from where we live. And then on his last day on this earth my father played perhaps THE best nine-holes he has ever played of GOLF (7636) in his entire life. And then he and my mom went to another party which they were not expecting to go to where he saw all of these other folks, much like his trip here to Evanston, etc. And at exactly 10:30 in the evening while my mother was watching some baseball on TV he closed his book, turned to kiss my mom and asked - his final words in this world - "honey did I tell you I loved you today?" My mother said "no" and then my dad said "I LOVE YOU" Then he turned and passed away.......but they did get his heart to beat but the next day, 19960903, he finally expired - exactly 23 " I AM" days from the divine birth, August 11th. NOTE: I was just called to note the exactly number of days since that day - 2022, so today is the 2023rd day since that day. It's interesting to note that 2022 = 337 prime and that just yesterday I was called to compute/check the 337 prime cycle since our Lord's birth. The end of the 2128th 337 prime cycle fell exactly on my father's 33rd birthday - like 337 - which was 14 days before I was born. But getting back to finishing this story.... ONE (1) week before all of this happened we were in Tacoma, Seattle and Oregon with our son, Frederick - who was only 2 1/2 years old at the time. We have this priceless picture of my tall, 6 ft 4 inch father walking his beloved West Highlands terrier "Malky" with his namesake grandson, Frederick IV, through the incredibly beautiful green and lanscaped roads near the golf course where he played his last nine (9) holes just over one week later on the Labor Day when he passed and ascended into heaven. I have no doubt whatsoever that "my - earthly - father which art in heaven" is deeply involved in guilding affairs which are of an important spiritual nature here in "the effect" of this word. The Lord gave my earthly father this same spirit of being a true individual which is all part of what real living is all about. It's about telling the truth. It's about helping others. It's about being thankful and walking this "different walk" which is all about making this world "just a little bit better" for those who follow. And for some reason - perhaps it's from the spirit embedded in that quote from Samsom - I am writing and sharing this story here today. Do you see how all these many roads connect, thread and support each other? Emerson, Everson, Burnham, Elgin, Evanston, Chicago, Graceland...... And this is just the itty bitty tip of this vast spiritual iceberg of living fresh water which stands there for all of us to receive when and where and how we are ready to receive and share it, etc. So the quotes from Swedenborg and Emerson are perfect... >>>>"In every idea a multitude of new ideas is lying dormant." --Emmanual Swedenborg "A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam that flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his own thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a sort of alienated majesty." --Emerson>> We are all called to receive this vast and unlimited Kingdom of Heaven which we all were born to receive, share and celebrate!! May God Bless everyone!! For it truly IS "a wonderful life" we are all called to simply receive and share freely and unconditionally with others. 119293!1 Our ONE Lord God in Heaven is Perfect Always! Peace, Light, ONE-LOVE GO!!
