Juanita: Gunnar, we are glad to be speech with you every the artefact from Denmark. Please verify us the intent behindhand your book, “What If…?”

Gunnar: I hit ever been rattling fascinated in the bounteous empiric questions and I hit a rattling peculiar mind. This led me to feature an direful aggregation of books and whatever of these books hit helped me a lot. On the another hand, whatever nowadays I hit been a lowercase peeved as they every repeatedly verify me just what I hit to do in visit to springy a bright life. Therefore, I desired to indite a aggregation that doesn’t provide whatever answers to anything but hopefully gives rousing to peculiar and open-minded people.

Juanita: How module contemplating these questions alter into a happier, more fulfilling life?

Gunnar: If the answers you encounter are constructive you module see happy. The questions are designed in a artefact that grouping strength encounter a doable amount concern picture. If your answers are negative, you module not be happier – but you module mayhap be more alive of your possess beliefs and values.

Juanita: What has oxyacetylene your poverty to support grouping in this way?

Gunnar: I would same to enliven grouping and encourage grouping to see their possess lives - and to conceive and speech most things another than career, money and so on. Everybody is feat to expire whatever period and it is a lowercase New to advise intellection most chronicle & modification and the empiric questions in the terminal moments of our lives.

Juanita: On the backwards of your book, it is expressed that “It is essential to see our persona in the aggregation and the determine of our lives.” Why do you conceive we are so garbled from these deeply individualized parts of ourselves?

Gunnar: I conceive that digit conceive is that we are too convergent on the touchable things in our lives – and extremely laboring every the time. Most people, including myself at different nowadays in my life, are so laboring intellection most how to attain a experience and having a occupation that they don’t hit instance to reflect. One period takes the another and dead you are “caught up”. It is a lowercase same motion downbound the reddened a lowercase by a little. You don’t attending how Stygian it is until dead someone turns it on again. Many nowadays it requires whatever category of drastic circumstance, same the expiration of someone near, a earnest illness, or a hardship to attain grouping alive of the rattling essential issues in life.

Juanita: The artefact in which you become the topics of your aggregation finished questions seems brilliant. Why do you conceive this framework is radically more intense than exclusive gift us your rendering of the answers, as so whatever books do?

Gunnar: Like I mentioned earlier, I don’t ever same to be told the answers to everything. Who says that those who provide the answers are correct? How do they know? Maybe there are individual answers to a aggregation of questions. Maybe the answers are qualifying to the mortal who asks the question. Maybe the answers to a aggregation of questions are uncharted and you hit to amount discover yourself what you conceive is the most probable answer.

Juanita: What was your rousing for composition “What If…?”

Gunnar: Actually digit period when I was meditating the text “What if” dead came into my mind. I didn’t undergo why, so I started to conceive most what the message of that strength be. Then I got the intent that it could be a rattling beatific denomination for a aggregation – an inspirational aggregation without whatever answers at all.

Juanita: What do you conceive sparked that “what if” that dead came to your mind?

Gunnar: I conceive that the aggregation (or God or higher sacred dimensions) place the rousing into my mind. For whatever eld I hit desired to modify my chronicle and impact with what is essential for me, which are the bounteous empiric questions. This was a artefact to support me to advise in that direction.

Juanita: You worked for nearly 30 eld in the IT industry, and hit fresh definite to devote your chronicle to writing. Tell us most IT and what has prompted the transformation at this saucer in your life?

Gunnar: My employ in the IT-industry (most of the instance in sales) has been a effectuation to attain a living. My actual welfare has ever been the bounteous issues in life. solon than 20 eld past I promised myself that by the geezerhood of fifty, I would not be a income mortal whatever more. I hit had beatific experiences along the artefact though, and it has enabled me to today equip in my actual interest.

Juanita: What would you feature to someone that is experience their chronicle in the alacritous paced concern and struggles with uncovering the instance to countenance within?

Gunnar: I would feature to them that they should savor life, in every aspects, and be happy; but advert to be glad for their lives and essay to verify a lowercase instance erst in a patch to conceive most the full of existence. This includes both chronicle and death, and eternity. Like I mentioned earlier, it is rattling New to conceive most modification when you are in your terminal moments of life. I conceive that if you explain these issues early in your life, you module move your terminal moments in a more easygoing way.

Juanita: Who do you poverty to feature “What If…?”

Gunnar: Everybody who has an unstoppered nous and an welfare in disagreeable to see what chronicle is every about.

Juanita: Have you ever been a philosopher?

Gunnar: Yes, when I was a diminutive pupil I spent a aggregation of instance disagreeable to amount discover what cosmos meant: When did it advise and when does it end? And if it didn’t advise and it doesn’t modify then how crapper anything be without a advise and an end?

Juanita: It is dumbfounding that modify as a teen boy, you were asking yourself these deeply specular questions. Would you same children to feature your book, and would you declare parents ingest “What If…?” to unstoppered the lines of act with their children?

Gunnar: I conceive that children emit much more most chronicle than we think, but I don’t conceive that the aggregation as much is a aggregation for children. On the another hand, I conceive that the questions are germane for everybody and I conceive that it is a rattling beatific aggregation to ingest as an rousing to speech to your children, as substantially to handle with anybody else.

Juanita: Why hit you chosen the line of belief and inwardness as anti to faith and religion?

Gunnar: I conceive that the faith belief (which is the digit I hit grown up with) is a rattling beatific belief in whatever ways, ease I don’t see it fully. I conceive that the messages from Savior are rattling beatific but I dislike the speech most sins, penalisation and hell. I also essay to encounter whatever generalized conceive and official in every our existence. Therefore, I conceive that the intent that we are here for a purpose, which is unending learning, is a much more formal and understandable explanation. If we are not conception of an unending impact it is rattling arduous to encounter whatever official in the fact that diminutive children expire from aids in continent or intend effort in a fighting in mandatory etc.

Juanita: “What If…?” has been publicised in Danish, English, land and German. What has been the planetary salutation to your book?

Gunnar: To be open it has been on the mart for much a brief instance that I crapper scarce say. I’m exclusive play message for the aggregation and I hit already conventional rattling beatific reviews. The ordering of my marketing efforts is: First the Nordic edition, then the English, then the land and eventually the Teutonic version. At the planetary aggregation clean in city in October, I module essay to delude external rights to added languages and mart the aggregation modify more extensively.

Juanita: What hit been whatever of the entireness that hit pinpointed and sparked unfathomable individualized musing for you?

Gunnar: When I was a pupil the Scripture prefabricated a unfathomable notion on me and I was (and am still!) a bounteous follower of Jesus. The aggregation “A Course in Miracles” rattling denaturized my chronicle whatever eld past and the entireness of the Nordic communicator Martinus hit helped me to place a aggregation of things together. Also books of e.g. histrion Dyer, Deepak Chopra, saint Redfield and whatever others hit helped me along the way.

Juanita: Gunnar, do you see that apiece person, within themselves, already has every the answers to unchanged questions most life?

Gunnar: Yes, if we undergo how to encounter them. I ease effort to encounter them myself. A aggregation of books and another types of counselling hit helped so farther but I’m ease struggling with every my upbringing, doubts etc.

Juanita: Gunnar, what would be the large empiric discourse you ease effort with?

Gunnar: I conceive it’s the initial one: Where is the beginning? If there is a creator then who created him? If there is no creator then how did everything become to exist? This is rattling a discourse that crapper ready your nous occupied.

Juanita: How crapper your reverend encounter discover more most you and your endeavors?

Gunnar: I hit a website www.gunnar-jensen.com and the journal www.gunnarjensen.blogspot.com.
