In The Bock Sa-Ga Pt I

Ior Bock

THE ANCIENT TIME CAPSULE PART 1- IOR BOCK

A well known and respected Finnish historian, Ior (pronounced EE-OR) Bock was born on the 17th January 1942. His father, Knut Victor Böxstrom, died on 11th May 1942. From that time only three of the Bock family remained, Ior, his mother Rhea, and his sister Rachel.

From the age of seven, Rhea and Rachel had Ior sit with them every day to listen and learn the family tradition of the Bock Sa-Ga. Ior was not allowed to ask questions through these sessions as it is considered that by listening one learns more than by talking.

According to Ior, the Sa-Ga is based largely on the teaching of sounds, which must be heard and experienced and has therefore been passed down orally from generation to generation in this way. Each descendent was taught from the age of seven to the age of twenty-seven, taking a full twenty years to comprehend and master this knowledge. Thus the Sa-Ga was transmitted to Ior through the years 1949 to 1969.

After his father died, a man named Bror Gustaf Bertil Svedlin adopted Ior and Ior's name was changed to Bror Holger Bertil Svedlin. Svedlin died in 1950 when Ior was eight years old. In March 1968, Ior reclaimed his original family name. As a young man, Ior gained employment as the head guide of the Museum Fortress of Viapori (Sveaborg) in Finland. Each year Ior spent time in Goa, India putting together the historic theme for the following season at the museum. In the summer of 1968 Ior made his first academic presentation at the museum. In the years that followed, Ior became a very well known and respected historian and was involved in the production and development of a number of television documentaries.

In 1984, Ior began to relate his family history and the details of the Bock Sa-Ga. When Ior first began to release the information, it was met with a great deal of disbelief, controversy and accusations that the Sa-Ga was just a set of stories. Many of these people are now reconsidering their position due to astounding and significant discoveries over the past few years confirming that the Sa-Ga is indeed based on fact and not fiction. In June 1999, Ior Bock was attacked by a man in his sister's apartment in Helsinki. Ior was stabbed in the back a number of times. His heart stopped for 10 minutes. Paramedics managed to revive him but the attack left Ior a quadriplegic.

Now, nearly three years later, Ior can drink tea with very little assistance and continues his daily talks and release of the Bock Sa-Ga material. His mind is still very clear and he still smiles even though nearly all that he had has been taken from him.
