3.3 Martinus
By Mary McGovern of the Martinus Institute
"Martinus …is a man whom to know is to take into one's heart. He embodies the intelligence, the selflessness, and the love,
which constitute the essence of his moral and practical teaching." -Paul Brunton
In 1949, the novelist Ingrid Okkels wrote to Paul Brunton introducing him to the work of Martinus, a Danish spiritual teacher.
This resulted in Paul Brunton visiting Martinus in Copenhagen on 14th and 15th of July, 1950. Paul Brunton and his wife
Evangeline Brunton followed this up with a longer visit from May to August, 1952 during which they stayed with Martinus
at the Martinus Institute and spent 2-4 evenings per week being given a thorough introduction to his world picture.
Martinus (1890-1981) presented what he called the "eternal world picture," a spiritual cosmology, which he communicated
through his books, articles, and symbols. He explains the ongoing evolution of mankind and shows that all our experiences,
dark as well as light, contribute to our ultimate initiation as cosmically conscious, fully evolved human beings.
Paul Brunton wrote an article that was intended to be a preface for Martinus’ book Mankind and the World Picture
which was later published in the English edition of the Martinus Institute’s magazine Kosmos no. 4, 1990.
Recently the Martinus Institute published a special 100th anniversary English edition of Kosmos that is
replete with interesting articles and images.
Paul Brunton visited Martinus for a third time in September 1956. There are some photos of Martinus and PB in our gallery
and on their website.
New documentary film about Martinus made by the Danish film director Lennart Pasborg. It has an English voice-over
and optional English subtitles.On YouTube!

PB ran a bookstore with his pal, Michael Houghton, which failed within months of opening. During this time, the two friends rented an
apartment in Tavistock Square—rooms which were fated to house a more successful publishing enterprise a few years later—for it became
the first home of The Hogarth Press, run by Virginia Woolf and her husband. In 1922 Houghton opened The Atlantis Bookshop in Bloomsbury,
which is still in operation today; in 1927 Houghton also wrote The White Brother: an Occult Autobiography under the pen-name Michael
Juste, which centers on a character named David, loosely based on Brunton.
