ARCHIVE and HISTORY
– Therner & Loeth –
The page Archive and History is primarily intended to highlight the collaboration between the Danish intuitive philosopher Martinus Thomsen (1890-1981) and his student and collaborator Per Bruus-Jensen (1932-2022), focusing on Per Bruus-Jensen’s role and work, but it addresses other topics as well. Archive and History is also a complement to the introductory page Presentation of New Cosmic Paradigm, section 2.2 Martinus and Per Bruus-Jensen – The Cosmic Worldview.
Introduction
We, Arnold Therner, Birgitta Therner and Steen Loeth, are the founders of New Cosmic Paradigm – Advanced Institute of Ontological Principles and New Science – NCP X-AIONS and want to express our gratitude to Per Bruus-Jensen for his many years of teaching us, his trust and heartfelt friendship, and for the extensive material he has given us to manage and convey, based on the unique and intensive teaching he received from Martinus over a period of over 10 years. (Certificate regarding documents etc.)
Certain passages below on this page have a link function and should also be possible to read independently; therefore, there is some repetition.
Below are some examples of material reflecting Martinus’ statements regarding Per Bruus-Jensen, their collaboration, and the work of Per Bruus-Jensen, etc.
The text also includes a brief history that highlights, among other things:
– Sigbritt Therner, founder of the first Martinus Center in Sweden, Kosmos Kursgård in Varnhem.
– Therner & Loeth founders of New Cosmic Paradigm – NCP X-AIONS.
– The background to the concept “Martinus Cosmology”, etc.
Brief Background
Per Bruus-Jensen met Martinus in 1957. Martinus soon realized Per B-J’s extraordinary analytical capabilities and, in 1958, assigned to him the mission to systematize, specify, concretize and thereby further develop the unique intuitive knowledge that Martinus conveyed. Per B-J was tutored by Martinus on a daily basis for more than a decade for this purpose and has since devoted his life to the mission, which also includes advancing natural science and contributing to the development of a new “Cosmic Science”. The comprehensive works and literature of Per Bruus-Jensen are of great ontological importance.
Martinus and Per Bruus-Jensen
The Correspondence Course and the “X-work” (X-værket)
Per Bruus-Jensen and Martinus, 1961
The assignment that Per B-J received from Martinus also included creating a correspondence course that would introduce and comprehensively explain the Ontology of the Cosmic Worldview – Martinus Cosmology – in a systematic and profound way. This resulted in a course consisting of 92 lessons. The entire course was later further developed by Per B-J and compiled in the four volumes entitled »X« – En komplet indføring i Martinus Kosmologi (»X« – A complete introduction to Martinus Cosmology), the “X-work”. The Correspondence Course is a valuable complement to the more complex X-work (1-4) totalling over 1800 pages.
The Correspondence Course and the X-work have been prepared by Per Bruus-Jensen in close collaboration with Martinus, and highlight areas and topics that Martinus did not address in his own books, constituting crucial complements to them. The Correspondence Course and the X-work are important parts of the source material of the Cosmic Worldview – Martinus Cosmology.
Supplement – Note
Due to its complexity, Per Bruus-Jensen refrained from explaining X0/ the X0-factor in the Correspondence Course and the X-work. Later in his writings, he explicates and defines X0 as a fundamental and integrated part of the X-structure.

At the Royal Library in Copenhagen*, there is an original hardcover special edition (in two volumes) of the Correspondence Course that Per Bruus-Jensen created at the behest of Martinus. As an expression of his full approval of the course, Martinus personally signed the material and wrote an introduction, see Martinus’ text below.

Summary in English:
Dear readers!
Per Bruus-Jensen’s correspondence course represents a comprehensive and systematic presentation of my main work “Livets Bog”/ “The Book of Life” and clarifies some of the most basic and at the same time most complex areas of the cosmology (the Cosmic Worldview). In view of the degree of difficulty and scope of the material, I would like to clarify that the said course in all details and in its entirety has been prepared in collaboration with me personally. During our collaboration, new subject areas sometimes emerge that I have not written about in “Livets Bog” (“The Book of Life”) and which may therefore seem foreign to those who have read my books. The fact that these new subject areas are included in Per Bruus-Jensen’s course is, of course, due to the fact that I find that the material constitutes valuable additions to my analyses. The content of Per Bruus-Jensen’s course has thus in all respects been checked by me personally and is therefore published as my personal responsibility.

Introduction to Per Bruus-Jensen’s Correspondence Course in Martinus’ Cosmology
With Reference to the fact that Per Bruus-Jensen, at my Request and in close Cooperation with me, has prepared the current Correspondence Course in Cosmology, and I have therefore been able to fully control its special Structure and Content, it is Gratifying for me to be able to express that the aforementioned Course is an excellent Help or Guidance toward the Understanding of the cosmic Analyses of the BOOK OF LIFE (LIVETS BOG). Furthermore, the Course is Eminently suitable as a Textbook in the Cosmology presented in the said Work.
Martinus
The introduction to the X-work volume 1, pages 16-17, also includes the introduction that Martinus wrote for the above-mentioned correspondence course on its original publication.
Martinus and Per Bruus-Jensen’s Mission
Below is an excerpt from NCP X-AIONS’ page Presentation of the Cosmic Worldview, section 2.2 Martinus and Per Bruus-Jensen – The Cosmic Worldview, followed by clarifications (*, **) of the said excerpt:
In the summer of 1957, the then 25-year old Per Bruus-Jensen (1932-2022) came into contact with Martinus, and this was the beginning of a very close alliance and collaboration that lasted more than 20 years. Martinus soon realized Per B-J’s extraordinary analytical capabilities and, in 1958, assigned to him the mission to systematize, specify, concretize and thereby further develop the unique intuitive
knowledge that Martinus conveyed. For more than a decade, Per B-J was tutored by Martinus on a daily basis for this purpose. The teaching was very extensive and intensive, usually taking the form of questions and answers between student and master. These discussions were often strenuous for both parties: For Martinus, with access to his intuitive and for him self-evident knowledge, it was sometimes difficult to accept that something remained unclear. For the same reason, however, it could be equally difficult for Per B-J, with his insistence on systematization and “technical” precision, to account for where obscurity lay in such a way that Martinus understood the problem. Nevertheless, once this was overcome, the answer and solution were nearly always immediately evident. It should also be mentioned that Martinus’ teaching and his discussions with Per B-J sometimes dealt with topics and areas which Martinus himself had not put forward in his own literature, but which, for the most part, are to be found in Per B-J’s work.
Below are two examples of what Martinus expressed regarding Per Bruus-Jensen and his work:
He plays a most significant role in my mission and the seminal future of our shared cause. He is absolutely the one who stands tallest when it comes to understanding my cosmic analyses. In all the analyses I have created to date, he has been able to follow me, and he has also begun to have intuitive experiences.*
It has become Per’s task to systematize the material, because it’s not something I’m good at!” **
** During a visit to Sigbritt Therner, Martinus expressed his great enthusiasm and confidence in Per’s ability and his task: It has become Per’s task to systematize the material, because it’s not something I’m good at!”
*** Sigbritt Therner was one of the earliest pioneers of Martinus Cosmology in Sweden. (More information about Sigbritt follows below.)
Excerpt from Martinus’ Letter to Sigbritt Therner (Tuesday 25th of August 1964)
(English translation on the right) The Letter PDF
Dear Sigbritt!
Sincere and heartfelt thanks for your loving letter of the 22nd of August. I was very happy when I read it. It was fantastic for me to read about how the Martinus Center (Kosmos Varnhem) benefits from the great interest and love shown by such a group of people.
I am also glad that they were so happy with Per’s visit. But that was also what I knew in advance. His loving nature and great skill open human hearts to him everywhere. He plays a most significant role in my mission and the seminal future of our shared cause. He is absolutely the one who stands tallest when it comes to understanding my cosmic analyses. In all the analyses I have created to date he has been able to follow me, and he himself has also begun to have his own intuitive experiences. And it means an incredible amount to him in creating his courses and talks. It is due to the power of his skill that he so easily understands my analyses and has become my closest and most prominent and excellent disciple in the cosmic area.
And with that I send greetings of love and once again thank you, dear Sigbritt.

Martinus and Per Bruus-Jensen – Sigbritt Therner and Martinus Center “Cosmos” (Kosmos)
– Therner & Loeth New Cosmic Paradigm NCP X-AIONS
Martinus and Sigbritt Therner, Kosmos, Varnhem, October 1964
As previously mentioned, Sigbritt Therner (1915-2009) was one of the very first to introduce Martinus Cosmology in Sweden, and she was a true pioneer in many different ways. Furthermore, in 1951 she founded the first Martinus Center in Sweden; Cosmos Center or Kosmos Feriehem in Varnhem, which was later inaugurated by Martinus on June 19, 1965 (photos below).
Martinus and Sigbritt Therner
During these early days, Sigbritt Therner also developed a close relationship with Per Bruus-Jensen- Over the years she showed great commitment to Per B-J and his extensive work based on the specific mission Martinus assigned to him; to systematize, specify, concretize and thereby further develop the intuitive knowledge that Martinus conveyed. The mission also includes advancing natural science and contributing to the development of a new Cosmic Science.
This was also an early and great inspiration to Arnold Therner (1947-2018), nephew of Sigbritt Therner, who in 2010 together with his wife Birgitta Therner and Steen Loeth founded NCP X-AIONS is to continue implementing Per Bruus-Jensen’s work, and presenting the Ontology of The Cosmic Worldview, a work and project based on a close collaboration with Per Bruus-Jensen, made possible by his extensive teaching that, for many years, he imparted to the founders of NCP X-AIONS. For more information, see NCP X-AIONS in Brief.
In this context, it should be emphasized that New Cosmic Paradigm – NCP X-AIONS is completely autonomous, and has a more scientific and ontological orientation than the Foundation Kosmos Varnhem, founded by Sigbritt Therner. After Sigbritt’s passing, the activities at Kosmos Varnhem have continued, but with a slightly different focus from that initiated by Sigbritt.

Collaboration and Trust …
We would also like to share the following, which Per Bruus-Jensen told us he has carried with him in his heart throughout the years, namely Martinus’ words to him after his (Martinus’) private birthday party in the lecture hall at the Martinus Institute, Copenhagen, 1975. Martinus, who was very weak after an operation, took Per aside and, clearly moved, said:
Per, I want you to know, that no matter what you do in the future for my project* it has my blessing in advance.
* (my project/work with the Cosmology – the Cosmic Worldview)
Martinus Cosmology (Martinus Kosmologi) – Background to the Name
Per Bruus-Jensen recounts the background to the term “Martinus Cosmology”.
Martinus first referred to his intuitive knowledge as “spiritual science”, but realized that the name could seem strange, provocative and frightening to many. Per Bruus-Jensen explains that he therefore, in 1959, suggested the name Martinus Cosmology, referring to “Cosmology”: the knowledge and science of the ordered Cosmos*. Martinus immediately agreed and implemented the name change, also changing the name of his institute on Mariendalsvej in Copenhagen from “Martinus Åndsvidenskabelige Institut” (Martinus Spiritual Science Institute) to “Martinus Institute”, and the institute’s information magazine was named “Cosmos”.
