Lectures
At that time there was no lecturehall. Martinus thought that there ought
to be one, so an area of land behind the houses was bought. On this land
there was a farmhouse. Later known as the swedish house. The first lecturehall
was put up there. Build over a public holiday and a few week- ends. It held
about a 100 people and was very primitive with a cementfloor, long green
benches and a primitive podium made of brom handle. There was also a primitive
slideprojector and a little room with a grammofone of which Martinus used
to play some music, before starting his lecture. This helped the audience
get into a quiet state of mind before the lecture. This was the first lecturehall.
The next was built in 1949. It was a little bigger, and was built on the
same area of land as the first one. It was however still not big enough,
because more and more people were becomming interested, and in 1961 the
present lecturehall was built. It has since been renovated and has been
painted white. So there have been three lecturehalls in all, giving som
indication of the growth of interest of Martinus´work.
