Solve et coagula

John Bjarne Grover

It was in 1977-78 that I read some mysticism and related theories, which I found very appealing and interesting. A relevant world view that was. For example, I bought some books by post from Rudolf Haase's Hans-Kayer-Institut für harmonikale Grundlagenforschung an der Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Wien, published on Verlag Elisabeth Lafite, Wien. (I suppose this is not the reason why Elisabeth-Spital was knocked down some time ago). It was probably in 1978 that I was with Birte Löveid in her car in to Oslo. She was driving and I was sitting in the seat next to her when I mentioned the concept of 'solve et coagula' which I found interesting - could be I had no words for it then but I understood it in terms of a life narrative - whereby life takes shape via a 'solve et coagula' principle. It is an old alchemistic formula which probably was meant to include the alchemist himself - it is the alchemist who undergoes the change when he tries to make gold. I recall that I made a slight notice of it - could be it could have been a hesitation when I said it - as if I suddenly became aware of something. Could be Birte had signalled somehow that an octogon could have been on the market for my own life narrative - I dont know if she knew anything such.

However that be, I never told this very trifling incidence to anybody. It was just too unimportant to be mentioned. Could be she could have mentioned it for somebody else - I dont know about that - but the theory I have arrived at by now is that this comment of mine could have been forwarded by a hidden microphone and radio in the car battery (a battery put in there by somebody else) and sent by radio to some following car. It would have been difficult to hear anything in the motor noise but maybe that was precisely the point - that very fine technology was needed to decipher it and only CIA and some others had that chance at that time. It could have been quite unique surveillance data.

I have earlier believed to have spotted a certain pattern in the names of the iranian presidents since 1979 which seem to have converged on the phenomenon of the small yellow wax roll I found in my bed (along with some very small stones) in late 2013. As I threw the bed cover aside this little wax roll was whirled up in the air and hit my index finger on the very tip - with a notable feeling which made me believe that it was a piece of recursive matter and not something which had been put in there by the 'services'. It looked under the microscope like it contained DNA material, a sort of intergalactic egg that had travelled through the universe and could be fertilized here on earth. Could be this is an old idea and a wellknown phenomenon as 'recursive matter'.

The idea now is that the american administration could have agreed to the iranian revolution of 1979 in order to install this 'solve et coagula' comment of mine (e.g. as 'sölv-egg var gula') on a high level. It could have been the background even for the attempt on the pope in 1981 and the car crash of Ragna Gröver around the same time. I was in Rome in 1981 and was driving the car of Hiliry Harvey sitting next to me when I suddenly changed lane to the right and a car coming from behind drove into the car. The question could later be raised whether the sudden impulse to change lane had been induced in me by some factor such as a comment from the one sitting in the passenger seat - such as I in the car of Birte - in which case, if that were an interesting theory, it could have been verified only by way of a tape recording. But how could that have come about? Answer could be 'only by hidden mike and radio in the car battery'.

In 1982, Jurij Vladimirovitsch Andropov took over after Breschnev in the Soviet Union. If that means 'han dro på V' ('he pulled the V out a little') it could have meant that they could have heard on the recording how I grew a bit hesitating in the course of the pronounciation of the V in the formula 'solve et co-w-agula' - but that would have had to mean that the russians had access to the tape recording - and that could have been enough to drain the whole project of its powers.

Modern 'islamic state' movement could be in extension from this iranian revolution of 1979.

More specifically, I could understand this possible story only after having found the 'lapis philosophorum' myself. I found it in the sink where it rested on the place approximately where the potato-peel-filter found in the bathtub in Ehamgasse in was it 2006 would have been if it had been in the sink (there was no such filter in the sink). In norwegian, the polished part of the 'lapis' could be called 'vært i kanten' - cp. 'Vatikanet' - and I recall that I noticed this and speculated that it was a heap of that very strange kitchen salt in those days which had 'melted' wrong way in the sink ('solve et coagula', so to speak) and been cast to such polished surface against the sink drain. 'Vært i kanten' = 'has been in the edge/brim'.

The brief summary of the plot - if this is the story - could be that if both the official mother and the ultimate PAPA in Rome were linked to the 'lapis philosophorum' via a 'solve et coagula', it could have constituted an attempt of the 'services' to gain authority to the authorship of mine (assuming that it could lead to a 'lapis') via the reduced integrity I could suffer from by way of the 'octogon' on the assumption that marriage exists in all cultures in order to protect the rights of the children and a violation of the marriage integrity means a violation of the children's rights - that is, the rights of the official child of the mother and the PAPA. Hence it could have been about draining my authority - by the comment in the car - from the 'global' project. The philosophy could perhaps even tell that this violation takes place even if the third part in the 'triangle' could have been drugged and raped by the female while the husband stood there watching - because the penis had been inside the vagina, however briefly or shortly - c.p. 'vært i kanten'. 'Hode inni' means 'the head just inside', which means that the alleged 'Houdini' terror in Yemen recently could be linked to this (and an american origin of the project since the 1970's?)

I dont think this would change anything as far as my own authorship is concerned - and if the 'lapis' is a result of my book it is found in the book and not in any intrigues or administration. It is even possible that administration thinks of 'lapis philosophorum' in terms of the 'philosophizing' ('fantasies') that could accompany activation and manipulation of the 'lapis' in the sense of 'foreskin'.

I do not have much evidence in favour of this 'solve et coagula' theory but recall from 1983 that I repeatedly returned to the line "oh med de gule / fingre på bordet..." ('oh with the yellow / fingers on the table...') that haunted my mind somehow (my own line it was). I was smoking and the fingers were a little yellowed.



PS I must add that 'kolve' is a norwegian dialect word that can mean 'to topple' but only in the sense of toppling oneself, to tip over, as e.g. on a bicycle. I dont think you can 'kolve' somebody else.
