Since my own life is of a nature such that I have been able personally to experience the above-mentioned* knowledge in such a state of pure cultivation that in all ways it justifies the divine words "Behold, everything is very good", and can therefore exist only as identical to the absolutely direct answer to the world's ever-present question, "What is truth?", I have felt it to be my duty to make my experience or knowledge accessible to the general public; and under the term "Livets Bog" or "the eternal wisdom" I am endeavouring to demonstrate precisely this, my first-hand knowledge of cosmic realities that, in the form of the superterrestrial providence or divine being, govern the universe.
