Filosofi: Koskmisk bevidsthed (Philosophy: Cosmic Consciousness)

This article explores the concept of 'Cosmic Consciousness.' It posits that humans have three forms of expression: mental, sensory, and consciousness. Cosmic consciousness is described as the divine, immortal consciousness that is the source of life and power in the universe. It is characterized by the absence of sympathy, antipathy, or discrimination, and represents a state of unity where the individual will aligns with the universal will ('Thy will be done'). The author contrasts this with the limitations of the physical, sensory mind, which is subject to earthly desires and leads to conflict. The article suggests that achieving cosmic consciousness is the ultimate goal for humanity, leading to true peace and understanding.

Notits fra Honey (Note from Honey)

This note, attributed to C. A. Honey, discusses upcoming news in 1963 concerning UFOs and science. It announces the renaming of a publication to 'S. P. Newsletter' and mentions upcoming articles on topics like the cost of space exploration, psychic deception in saucer cases, the Syncom satellite, Dead Sea Scrolls, and reports from other countries. It also notes that George Adamski has moved and is using a new name, 'Science of Life,' and will be giving lectures. C. A. Honey also promotes several books, including 'The Secret Sayings Of Jesus' (related to the Nay Hammadi scrolls) and 'There Is A River' by Thomas Sugrue, highlighting their relevance to UFO-related philosophies.

Spørgsmål og svar (Questions and Answers)

This Q&A section addresses several inquiries:

• Regarding Bender's book 'Flying Saucers and the three men': The answer suggests that while the book details events experienced by many people, it may contain falsehoods and 'arranged' incidents by a 'Silence Group' to create confusion and hinder progress.
• Physical bodies of extraterrestrials: It is clarified that beings from highly developed planets visit Earth in their natural physical forms, not requiring transformation into human likeness.
• Adamski's recent writings: Adamski is reportedly working on a new book, which will be announced in the newsletter upon completion.
• Brush Creek observations (1953): The answer confirms that the observations were real, but the machines and people involved did not belong to 'our group,' implying the existence of multiple extraterrestrial groups.
• Jesus' statement on hating family: The question about Jesus' statement in Luke 14:26 is posed, but the answer is cut off.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the investigation of UFO phenomena, encouraging readers to share their observations. There is a strong emphasis on the authenticity of contactee accounts, particularly those of George Adamski, and the interpretation of extraterrestrial symbols. The publication also delves into philosophical and spiritual aspects, as seen in the article on 'Cosmic Consciousness,' suggesting a connection between UFO phenomena and a higher universal awareness. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, seeking to disseminate information and challenge conventional explanations, while also cautioning readers to critically evaluate information and conduct their own investigations.

This issue of UFO-NYT, dated October 1962, features several articles exploring complex themes related to UFO phenomena, spirituality, and the origins of religious practices. The publication appears to be a Danish periodical focused on UFOs and related subjects.

Astral and Psychic Deception in UFO Research Revealed

This lead article, authored by C. A. Honey Svend Larsen, warns against deceptive practices within UFO research, particularly concerning psychic and astral contacts. Larsen distinguishes between the claims of contactees like George Adamski, who purportedly had physical encounters, and those who rely on telepathy or psychic impressions. He argues that the human mind, with its preconceived notions, can easily distort information received through psychic channels. Larsen posits that a 'devilish group' may exploit individuals' suggestibility, leading to negative experiences, including mental distress and even death, as exemplified by a case where a woman died after being instructed to fast by alleged extraterrestrials.

Larsen criticizes the use of 'mediums' by UFO groups, stating that true 'space people' do not engage in such practices. He explains that the information attributed to extraterrestrials often originates from the subconscious of the mediums themselves, influenced by earthly thoughts and ideas. He asserts that while psychic and astral phenomena are real, they are often misinterpreted and that a malevolent force is behind many of these contacts, not extraterrestrials.

He recounts an incident where three men in black allegedly attempted to hypnotize and deceive a man in California, claiming to be Martian police protecting him from an 'evil Martian space man named Monka.' The men's motive was to gain possession of the man's patents. Larsen emphasizes that such deception is not uncommon and is part of a larger effort by a 'silencing group' to control information and maintain public ignorance.

The Origin of Our Present Religious Confusion

This multi-part series, authored by C. A. Honey Svend Larsen, continues with its fifth installment, focusing on the origins of Christmas rituals. The author states his intention is not to attack any religion but to reveal the historical roots of rituals, believing that understanding their origins does not endanger faith. He argues that the celebration of Christmas on December 25th is not historically accurate for Jesus's birth, citing biblical evidence suggesting a birth in late August or early September.

The article traces the origins of Christmas to pagan festivals, particularly the Roman Saturnalia and the celebration of the sun god's birth on December 25th (Brumalia). It highlights that the early Christian church did not celebrate Jesus's birth, focusing instead on his death. The date of December 25th was adopted later, aligning with existing pagan solar festivals. The name 'Santa Claus' is linked to St. Nicholas, a 5th-century bishop, and his legend of secretly giving dowries, which later became associated with Christmas gift-giving.

Furthermore, the series connects Christmas traditions to Babylonian mythology, citing the concept of the 'new sun' and the birth of a divine child. It suggests that five major Christian festivals, including Christmas and Easter, have roots in Babylonian practices. The article also touches upon the concept of 'Yule' as a Babylonian term for 'child' and its association with the winter solstice.

Did Jesus Visit India?

This article, authored by B. J. Bharndari and sourced from Blitz Newsmagazine, Bombay, India, presents claims from Nicolas Notovitch's book "The Unknown Life of Jesus." According to Notovitch, Jesus left his home at age 13 and traveled to India with merchants, visiting numerous centers of knowledge in Nepal and India. The author claims that ancient scrolls found in a Ladakh monastery, dating from approximately 1850 years ago, describe Jesus's visit. These accounts, allegedly written shortly after Jesus's death, are presented as more authentic than the Gospels.

The narrative details Jesus's time in India, where he spent years in Puri and other holy cities, studying medicine, mathematics, philosophy, and religion. He is said to have strongly disagreed with the laws and rules of the Brahmins, particularly their oppression of the working castes. Jesus preached that all are equal before God and that the Brahmins had distorted the principle of monotheism. When the Brahmins perceived Jesus as a threat, they allegedly plotted to assassinate him, but he was warned and fled to Nepal.

In Nepal, Jesus is said to have spent six years among Buddhists, finding their principles of monotheism untainted. After 16 years in India, he reportedly sent a letter to his mother, assuring her of his father's well-being and encouraging her to focus on meditation and acts of love.

The Ether as the Driving Force Behind UFOs

Authored by M. Kahir, this article explores the propulsion mechanisms of UFOs, suggesting that their extraordinary speed, altitude, and maneuverability cannot be explained by current human technology or known natural laws. The author posits that UFOs must utilize an energy source hidden from contemporary science.

The article critiques the prevailing scientific approach of studying natural laws in isolation, arguing for a unified understanding of an all-pervading cosmic ether. It references ancient alchemical philosophies that described the ether as a spiritual and substantial fluid filling the universe. The Greek term 'aithér' is analyzed, suggesting its roots relate to 'eternal' and 'to revolve,' implying a dynamic, universal medium.

Kahir challenges the Newtonian concept of gravity as mass attraction, proposing instead that it is a pressure exerted by cosmic radiation. He cites theories from Le Sage and Maxwell, who suggested that electromagnetic waves and radiation exert pressure. The article references engineer Lewetzow's idea that the universe is filled with radiation from all directions, creating an equilibrium, and that gravity is a result of this radiation pressure being weakened on one side of an object. This concept of 'radiation pressure' is presented as the key to understanding UFO propulsion.

The author suggests that if a material could be found that selectively weakens incoming radiation, it could create a propulsion system for UFOs. The light observed around UFOs is interpreted as a result of radiation energy being converted due to their rotational movement, ionizing the surrounding air.

The article concludes by referencing John Uri Lloyd's novel "Etidorpha," which describes a journey into the Earth's interior and explores 'occult' problems, including the concept of motive energy, suggesting that the principles discussed have been explored in esoteric literature.

European Report

This section briefly summarizes two nearly identical reports from European collaborators, May Morlet and Elaine J. Ackeman, concerning an alleged sighting of extraterrestrials in Milan. The report, originating from the French newspaper Le SOIR, details a police officer, Francesco Rizzi, who claimed to have witnessed two 'Martians' descend from a flying saucer. He described one of the beings and their actions before they re-entered the craft and departed. Police patrols found no evidence of the incident.

AK-JA! (To be translated)

This is a brief note indicating that a lecture by Professor E. Schatzmann on the topic of extraterrestrial life was given in Copenhagen. The professor discussed his findings on meteorites and microscopic algae and arthropods as potential forms of organic life. He also commented on the conditions on Mars and Venus. The note includes a letter from the author to the professor inquiring about 'bradyte' (slow-moving fireballs) and their potential reality as intelligent, non-terrestrial objects.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of reality, the potential for deception in paranormal claims, and the search for alternative explanations for phenomena that challenge conventional science. The editorial stance appears to be critical of unsubstantiated psychic claims and favors a more empirical, though often speculative, approach to understanding UFOs and related mysteries. There is a clear interest in exploring theories that go beyond mainstream scientific paradigms, such as the concept of an etheric energy source and the re-examination of religious origins. The publication seems to advocate for a deeper understanding of these subjects, encouraging readers to question established beliefs and seek out historical and unconventional explanations.

Title: UFO - NYT
Issue Date: Approximately 1963 (based on issue number and content references)
Document Type: Magazine Issue
Language: Danish
Country: Denmark

This issue of "UFO - NYT" critically examines the scientific establishment's response to UFO phenomena and presents accounts of alleged extraterrestrial contact.

Science and the Flying Saucers

The lead article, "Videnskaben... og de flyvende tallerkener!" (Science... and the flying saucers!), discusses the skepticism prevalent within the scientific community, particularly among school astronomers. Dr. Max Gerstenberger, an observatory official, is presented as an example of this dismissive attitude, attempting to explain away UFO sightings as optical illusions or psychological phenomena, possibly influenced by Carl Jung's theories. The article criticizes this approach, suggesting that scientists fear their current knowledge becoming obsolete if UFOs are accepted as real.

It is argued that scientists often resort to ridicule rather than investigation, labeling UFOs as "ghosts" to appeal to a public fascination with the mysterious, especially in the absence of strong religious belief. The text contrasts this with the views of Professor Oberth, a respected figure in space research, who is described as being open to the existence of interplanetary objects. The article suggests that Oberth is considered an "outsider" by his peers for this stance and that the scientific community is reluctant to acknowledge new discoveries that challenge established paradigms.

The article also touches upon the concept of "ether currents" as a source of immense, unfathomable energy that permeates the universe. It posits that UFOs might harness this energy for propulsion, enabling movement and potentially light and heat generation. This concept is linked to the idea that human understanding of energy is limited to gross properties like heat, light, electricity, magnetism, and gravitation, which are merely effects of a deeper, unknown energy source.

Contact on Etna

Another significant section, "Kontakt på Ætna" (Contact on Etna), details the experiences of Eugenio Siragusa, a 43-year-old customs officer from Catania, Sicily. Siragusa claims to have had telepathic contact with extraterrestrial beings on two occasions near the volcano Mount Etna in 1962 (April 30th and September 5th). He describes these beings as approximately 165 cm tall, wearing metallic, one-piece suits with silver-like gaiters and belts emitting a greenish-yellow light.

Siragusa states that these beings communicated messages for humanity, urging against further nuclear experimentation and advocating for peace. He also mentions that the extraterrestrials identified their cigar-shaped craft as "Alfa2" and "Alfa8," capable of carrying 500 disc-shaped objects each. The article notes that Siragusa's accounts were investigated by journalist Renato Albanese.

Further encounters are described, including observations of UFOs by Siragusa and his family over their house in August 1962, and a second meeting with taller beings (around 2.15 m) who reiterated the message of peace and non-interference with nuclear technology. The second craft observed was circular, about 25 meters in diameter, and hovered in the air.

Siragusa's research suggests that extraterrestrials are not necessarily alien in nature but are beings like humans, with bases on Earth in locations such as Etna, Maiella, and near the Po River. He categorizes observers into two groups: those who create a religion around UFOs and those who view them realistically. Siragusa believes these beings have friendly and well-meaning intentions towards humanity, possibly viewing Earth as a base in the cosmos.

Other Sections

Letters and References: The issue includes references to previous articles in UFO-NYT discussing topics like "Free Energy," "Gravity," and "Silicon as UFO building material," indicating a recurring focus on unconventional science and technology.

Congress Tapes: A brief note mentions that recordings from a congress organized by the Fredericia group are available on tape, including segments from Professor Homets and Adamski's lectures, suggesting an ongoing effort to document and disseminate information on UFO-related topics.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the conflict between scientific skepticism and the investigation of anomalous phenomena like UFOs, the potential for advanced extraterrestrial civilizations and their technology, and the concept of unconventional energy sources. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, encouraging the scientific exploration of the unknown and presenting firsthand accounts of alleged encounters, while also acknowledging and critiquing the prevailing skepticism within mainstream science.
