The Oera Linda Forum

Hello from Australia
I'm an ordinary guy with greying hair on my own spiritual and knowledge quest, I am drawn to the Oera Linda and the wisdom of Minerva contained within the book. Therefore I am keen to follow and join any discussions on the topic, but first I have to introduce myself. Now that is out of the way.
Nice to be here.. Cheers.

Hi Frank.
Just a hint, Australia was called New Holland, New Zealand comes from the Dutch/Frisian Zeeland and Tasmania from Albert Tasman(Dutch)
I hope this makes your own living surrounding interesting in the great search...

Nuytsand is between West and South Australia, named after Pieter Nuyts from Middleburg.

Weil, Thank you very much! I had no idea. I’m Gonny look into him.
If you have more tips, Please let me know.

I think the correct name is Abel Tasman. Another great hardheaded sailor this reminds me of is Jacob Roggeveen, also from Middelburg. He was a character. This reminds me of all these subborn freedom loving heroes we’ve had, Coornhert, the Mennonites from who came the Amish, the boers of S-Afrika, Domela Nieuwenhuis, liberal protestants, we have a great history of freedom fighting and thinking. Almost like it comes from here. I never knew about Frisia, but that we are Freyas offspring doesn’t surprise me. Allthough, our unassuming relaxedness(and brainwashing)let our vigilance slip.

The boers elected their commanders as well, didn't they?

I don’t know, all I know is they were trying to live a free life far from already to their opinion overbearing government in Europe, like the religious settlers in Amerika, and were very brutally repressed for it. They probably did have a decent ‘democracy’ among them, no kings or religious dominator for sure.
I just meant we’ve hatched many protestant movements that were anti-authoritarian, communal, and very principalled. Still having that core of the peoples soul. Even those that stayed were trouble for the would-be rulers, the emigrant were just even more impatient to be selfgoverning and left in peace.I like that these are the predecesors of left-wing thinking to some extent. Because of the stigma on loving our own people, I love how Freya is not right of left but just us being ourselves and it being so plain and unagressive.
Many Dutch and other Freya women who are pretty seriously new-age, and leftist men, floating in the BS-soup of modern thought can, I hope, find how the Freya beliefs could be answering and grounding their spiritual path, rebelliousness and belonging, because it’s a wide view and all us.
