Alpha Star Base - 1993 11 - nov

Magazine Overview

This issue of "Alpha Star Base Informerer..." from November 1993, published by ORBIS, is a Norwegian magazine focused on esoteric and New Age topics. It features an interview-style opening discussing personal beliefs and the concept of 'New Age,' followed by a detailed article by Folke Strømholm on cyclical patterns and the transition to the Age of Aquarius. The issue also includes a piece on the 'Philadelphia Experiment' and a section on 'Levende Hjerte' (Living Heart).

Cover Story: 'Hun er med i New Age'

The issue opens with a personal reflection framed as a conversation. The narrator is introduced to someone as being 'with New Age.' This leads to a discussion about life's questions and personal beliefs. The narrator expresses a belief system centered on 'Kjærlighet' (Love) and seeing the divine in others, not requiring formal religious institutions. They emphasize intuition and the ability to create one's own life by aligning with universal laws. The text touches upon the idea of inner guidance and the importance of staying centered, even when facing challenges.

A philosophical friend contributes to the conversation, suggesting that at the core, all religions stem from a deep longing for unity. He posits that the search for this 'something' often leads people to look outward, when the answer is within. The friend concludes that the Creator and Creation have met, illustrating this with a child's perspective that God created the Earth and much of the solar system.

Article: 'På terskelen til en ny tidsalder' (On the Threshold of a New Age) by Folke Strømholm

This extensive article explores cyclical patterns in time and space, presenting them as fundamental principles of creation. Strømholm uses the analogy of a boomerang and Chinese nesting boxes to explain how energy impulses return to their source and how cycles contain smaller sub-cycles.

1. Det sykliske system (The Cyclical System)

This section defines cycles as movements that return to their origin, comparing them to a boomerang. The Chinese nesting box analogy illustrates how larger cycles contain smaller, similar cycles. These principles are presented as cosmic laws governing all manifestations in time and space.

2. En indre krise (An Inner Crisis)

Strømholm argues that advanced civilizations reach a critical turning point where technological and scientific prowess are high, but an inner crisis emerges. This crisis manifests externally as energy, ecological, and economic instability, but its root is psychological: humanity's difficulty in recognizing that increased material consumption cannot fulfill inner needs. The external problems are seen as symptoms of this inner crisis.

3. Vannmannens tidsalder (The Age of Aquarius)

The concept of the Age of Aquarius is linked to a transition phase towards something fundamentally different. Various dates are proposed for its beginning (e.g., 1883, 1899, 1945, 1962, 2000, 2011, 2157, 2374). The author proposes a solution based on analyzing underlying cyclical patterns and societal development over the past 250 years. Three cyclical patterns are identified as directly related to Earth's transformation process.

4. Den zodiakale syklus (The Zodiacal Cycle)

This section clarifies the difference between the tropical zodiac (based on seasons and the equinox point) and the sidereal zodiac (aligned with stars). The precession of the equinoxes causes the tropical zodiac's starting point to shift continuously. The text explains that the alignment of the two zodiacs occurred in 33 BC, marking the entry into the Age of Pisces, and will occur again in 2128 AD, marking the entry into the Age of Aquarius. The duration of a zodiacal sign is calculated as 2160 years.

5. Vannmannens terskelsyklus (The Threshold Cycle of Aquarius)

This cycle is defined as the period leading up to the Age of Aquarius, characterized by the "pre-effect" of its energies. The discovery of Uranus in 1781 is identified as the start of this cycle, as Uranus is the ruling planet of Aquarius. The cycle's duration is 360 years. The period from 1781 to 1960 is described as the materialistic/technological phase, marked by industrial revolution and economic growth. The period from 1960 onwards is termed the spiritual/occult phase, beginning with the social upheavals of the 1960s and the establishment of the Findhorn community in 1962/63. The turning point of this cycle was in 1961.

6. Den store høstsyklus (The Great Harvest Cycle)

This is the shortest of the three cycles, lasting 27 years. It is considered the most intense and chaotic phase of the transition. Its start point is identified as 1986, marked by events such as Voyager 2's encounter with Uranus, the Challenger disaster, and the Chernobyl accident, as well as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the Soviet Union. The duration of 27 years is linked to the concept of a 'quantum leap' in consciousness and the symbolic number 999, representing the spiritual nature of humanity.

7. Når starter Vannmannens tidsalder? (When Does the Age of Aquarius Begin?)

Synthesizing the three cycles, the author argues that the Age of Aquarius didn't truly begin in 1781 (materialistic phase) or 2128 (entry into the sign). Instead, the period starting in 1961, with the radical changes in human consciousness and society, is seen as the most relevant start for the Age of Aquarius, as its qualities increasingly influence society. The intensification in 1986 marks a further acceleration. The author suggests that the Age of Aquarius began to exert its influence in the late 1700s, with preparations traceable to the Renaissance, but its true unfolding is more accurately marked from 1961 onwards, accelerating significantly in 1986.

8. Året 1986 (The Year 1986)

This section provides an esoteric explanation for 1986 being the start of the Great Harvest Cycle, referencing biblical numbers like 3½ (representing the end of an era or a turning point). Using the law of analogy, the author divides the period 1961-2140 (180 years) by 7 to find a 25.7-year cycle, leading to 1986.7 as a significant turning point. The shift from the 6th ray (devotion, idealism) dominating the Age of Pisces to the 7th ray (orderly activity, ceremonial magic) for the Age of Aquarius is also mentioned, with 1961 marking the transition.

Article: 'Philadelphia-eksperimentet' (The Philadelphia Experiment)

This article, attributed to Tia'Ra Solera's book "Stjernemennesker – Solens Børn" and referencing Charles Berlitz, details the alleged Philadelphia Experiment. It describes how a destroyer was supposedly made invisible using magnetic generators and sound frequencies, causing the crew to become disoriented and suffer severe health problems. The experiment is linked to Einstein's unified field theories and the code name 'Rainbow.' The article suggests that the experiment involved shifting the ship and its crew out of the third dimension, creating a green fog-like effect similar to disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. It also mentions Dr. Morris Jessup and his theories. The author criticizes the experiment's execution, particularly the involvement of unaware personnel and the lack of consideration for the consequences.

Article: '«Levende Hjerte» ET SENTER FOR LIV' (Living Heart – A Center for Life)

This section presents the philosophy of 'Levende Hjerte.' It emphasizes forgiveness of oneself and others as the strongest creative force. The article states that the ability to create is an inherent birthright and encourages humility and an open mind to embrace the diversity of creation. It contrasts arrogance with the joy of recognizing one's mistakes and awakening to Love, Freedom, and Certainty. 'Levende Hjerte' is founded on three pillars: Love (represented by a rose), Freedom (represented by a feather), and Certainty (represented by a sheaf of wheat).

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes themes of spiritual growth, cyclical patterns in history and consciousness, and the transition to a new spiritual age (Age of Aquarius). There's a strong emphasis on inner transformation, love, forgiveness, and universal laws. The editorial stance appears to be aligned with New Age and esoteric philosophies, presenting alternative interpretations of science, history, and spirituality, often drawing connections between cosmic cycles and human societal development. The publication seems to advocate for a shift from materialism to a more spiritually-oriented existence.

This issue of "LIVING HEART" magazine, identified by issue number 11, features a cover headline in Norwegian: "KJÆRLIGHETEN ER VÅR ARV" (Love is our heritage). The magazine explores spiritual, energetic, and metaphysical themes, including love, freedom, self-protection, energy cleansing, reincarnation, and the nature of dimensions and time.

Love and Freedom

The issue opens with a philosophical reflection on love, describing it as a dynamic, indivisible force that cannot be contained. It suggests that true love is expressed when we choose to meet every person as if they represent the best version of ourselves. This approach to love is presented as the bringer of freedom, as it allows us to interact without thoughts of guilt or fear, thereby liberating ourselves and others.

Seminar with William Bloom: Blessing, Cleansing, and Protection

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to a seminar led by William Bloom, who has taught at Findhorn. Bloom's seminar focuses on techniques for blessing, cleansing, and protecting oneself, one's home, and spaces. He emphasizes that these techniques are most useful when one is already healed and pure. Bloom suggests that music, particularly bass tones, can shift the vibrations in a room, and he personally uses rock and roll with open windows for cleansing. He also advises on how to deal with negative energies by recognizing one's own energy versus that of others, and the importance of self-care to avoid burnout. For self-protection, Bloom recommends visualizing a protective bubble or a flame, or blessing one's surroundings. He also touches upon the concept of 'energy vampires' and how to deal with them.

Energetic Interactions and Boundaries

The magazine delves into the nature of energetic interactions, explaining that objects and places have atmospheres comparable to temperature. It highlights the importance of feeling one's own energy to distinguish it from others'. Sensitive individuals are cautioned about absorbing others' emotions, especially in group settings, and are advised to ask themselves why they are in such situations and when it is time to leave. The concept of 'sending white light' is discussed, with a cautionary note that it should only be done when requested, to avoid interfering with another's integrity. The article stresses that one's own energy field is sacred and should not be invaded without consent. It also mentions that negative feelings can be absorbed from others and that sensitive people might take on the pain of others, such as in a group dealing with depression.

Blessing and Spiritual Priesthood

Bloom asserts that everyone can bless, likening individuals to priests and priestesses. He addresses potential fear associated with blessing, possibly linked to historical persecution. He suggests connecting with one's 'ally' on higher planes and channeling energy through hands, for example, by making a cross sign with equal arms to bless a light. The quality of light is described as an archetypal energy field that balances vibrations, used in rituals worldwide.

Home Cleansing and Energetic Atmosphere

Methods for cleansing a home, both physically and energetically, are detailed. This includes playing music with bass tones, drumming, and consciously blessing cleaning water and tools. It is advised to befriend the space and feel its atmosphere. When negative vibrations arise, such as a child spilling something, Bloom clarifies that the negative energy often originates from the parents' reactions rather than the child's action. He advises against letting personal depressions influence the environment.

Inner and Outer Worlds, and Energy Cleansing

The concept of the inner world being composed of pure energy from cosmic sources is introduced. This energy flows through us, creating atmospheres of varying qualities. The mind can connect with other energies, potentially becoming a channel for anger if not managed. Archetypal energy forms are discussed, which can start as personal and become theatrical. For energy cleansing, one must first be pure. Bloom shares his practice of mentally cleansing his neighborhood daily. He explains that he has learned to handle his own sensitivity and use it as a tool. He also practices cleansing his aura regularly. The idea of telepathic communication and sensing each other's energies is mentioned as integration into the whole progresses.

Reincarnation and Dimensions

A significant section is dedicated to "Reinkarnasjon: Som foroven, så forneden" (Reincarnation: As above, so below), exploring the nature of time, wholeness, and interconnectedness. It suggests that time is divided into time zones, not just life spans, and that individuals exist in multiple time zones. The path out of time and space is through service, where one serves as a part of a greater whole. The structure of the universe, human beings, cells, and solar systems are presented as having the same pattern. The universal language is not necessarily words but an inner understanding of creation's structure.

Time can be suspended, expanded, or shortened. In thought, we are timeless and can travel without limitations. Time is presented as a factor measuring the speed of light. The journey of the soul is described as progressing through dimensions, with the third dimension dividing development into hours, days, and years, while the soul is timeless. The state between lives is an ending and a new beginning.

Individuals are seen as projections of thoughts, and their experiences are stored in a collective 'hard drive' or 'group soul'. When individuals share files, they enter a group soul where experiences are opened, edited, and saved. Experiences are written as they live, visible to all. Individuals are multiple yet their consciousness is the same. The 'in-between life' state is a time for coordinating experiences, but individuality remains.

Group souls are formed, with members becoming parents and children to each other before becoming one. Their shared experiences are for everyone. When they become one, they share these experiences with other group souls, forming larger group souls. Groups with shared karma to resolve are often born in the same area. Shared experiences can lead to memories of past lives. The concept of a 'creation triangle' is introduced, where three individuals triangulate each other to create a sphere representing wholeness.

The Nature of Time and Existence

The magazine further elaborates on time, stating that what we call past lives are happening now. Time is perceived as separate life spans due to time zones, creating the illusion of 'today' and 'tomorrow'. Each second is a time zone. Time that is not divided is one time zone. Time manifests as matter, but we only see the momentary image. In the next moment, we see ourselves as matter in a new time zone, but not the same person. The article asks if we were different in childhood and suggests that past lives are memories from other time zones. Communication across time zones is telepathic.

Jørgen's Encounter on Tilzu

A fictional story titled "Jørgen, eller Gomi..." recounts the experience of Jørgen, a 15-year-old boy who, after receiving a poor grade, is threatened by his father. He hides in a concrete pipe, which transports him to a silver-colored room on the planet Tilzu. There, he meets Albazar, who introduces himself as Tilzu's newest invention and explains that Jørgen is expected and will be called Gomi, meaning 'messenger'. Albazar demonstrates an 'autobobble', a transparent, round vehicle controlled by thought, which can provide food and transport. Jørgen struggles to control it initially but eventually succeeds. The autobobble has a walkie-talkie system, allowing telepathic communication between Jørgen and Albazar.

Further Reflections on Time and Consciousness

The issue continues to explore the third dimension as height, width, and depth, with the fourth dimension being time, where time accelerates. It states that resistance creates development in the third dimension, but where resistance exists, there is no unity. All was once one, but time arose when matter became too dense for light to penetrate. In the in-between life state, there is a different perception of time and unity, though individuals are still recognized as souls belonging to a cycle. The goal of the incarnation cycle is to reach a state where one no longer needs to incarnate. The boundaries between dimensions are seen as boundaries to other aspects of oneself, and the boundaries between time zones are the boundaries between people.

People are interconnected, and their experiences form a collective resource. Those who follow Earth into a new time are those who entered matter with it. Others came as teachers, learning about duality. The next step for many is the unity plane, which cannot develop without the dissolution of matter. Those who cannot follow Earth into the new time continue in the third dimension but are not separate from the rest. This is seen as a part of oneself that cannot raise its vibrations sufficiently. The article emphasizes that what we see outside ourselves that cannot follow the rest is also within us.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around interconnectedness, the nature of consciousness, and spiritual growth. The magazine promotes a holistic view of existence, where love, freedom, and self-awareness are paramount. There is a strong emphasis on energetic principles, personal responsibility for one's experiences, and the interconnectedness of all beings. The editorial stance appears to be one of spiritual exploration and empowerment, encouraging readers to understand and work with universal energies and to recognize their own inner divinity and connection to a larger whole. The inclusion of both philosophical/seminar content and a fictional narrative suggests an aim to engage readers on multiple levels, from intellectual understanding to imaginative exploration.

This issue of "Alpha Star Base informerer..." is dated between 1993 and 1994, with a special announcement for a December issue. The magazine is published by Alpha Star Base, located in Oslo, Norway, and is available via subscription or as loose issues. The publication focuses on themes of spirituality, UFOs, metaphysics, and personal development.

Page 1: Gomi's Adventures and Learning

The first page features a narrative about a character named Gomi. Gomi visits a school on the planet Tellus, which is described as a 'cramming school' ('puggeskole') where students only memorize facts. Gomi then travels to the planet Tilzu, where the educational approach is vastly different. On Tilzu, school is an 'experience place' ('opplevelsessted') where students are encouraged to ask their own questions, explore independently, and develop their specific interests and talents. This contrasts with the 'average' student produced by the Tellus system. Gomi observes a girl who studies a small yellow planet on a large screen and then enters the screen to travel to the planet for direct study. An explorer explains that this technology allows travel to any galaxy or planet by simply thinking about it and entering the screen. Gomi also mentions a personal issue: his father promised him a beating if he received a low grade ('LG') in a math test, which he did. Albazar, a friend, gives Gomi a 'power remover' device as a parting gift, which can render someone powerless. The narrative ends with Gomi experiencing a familiar dizziness as he leaves Tilzu, and a brief scene of a father, presumably Jørgen's, scolding him and tearing up a math test.

Page 2: Gnomes and Poetry

This page features two distinct items. The first is a short piece titled "En gnom i huset" (A gnome in the house), which introduces two gnomes received by the author. These gnomes are described as protectors and carriers of ancient wisdom, tasked with opening the house to luck, happiness, and insight into nature. The second item is titled "«Poetenes evangelium»" (The Gospel of the Poets), discussing Morten Harket's solo album of set poems from Håvard Rem's anthology. It includes the text of Jens Bjørneboe's poem "Salome," which recounts the story of Salome, her dance, and her role in the beheading of John the Baptist.

Page 4: Alpha Star Base Information and Manifestation Themes

This page contains contact information for Alpha Star Base, including address and phone number. It also provides details about their informational newsletter, "Alpha Star Base informerer...", which is published bimonthly. Subscription prices for 1993 and 1994 are listed, along with prices for single issues. Payment is to be made via postal giro. The page also announces that the "Julenummeret" (Christmas issue) will be released in December.

• Several excerpts on the theme of manifestation are presented:
• Responsibility involves not just facing problems but also focusing on planning and the part of oneself that avoids issues. Focusing on what one must work against can lead to inaction and the materialization of one's own inertia.
• Time is a dominant factor in manifestation; the solution and the problem are two sides of the same coin. When one sees oneself as part of the manifestation process, one relates to the problem as both the problem and the solution.
• Taking responsibility for one's situation might mean acknowledging that the problem is correctly placed. Progress requires taking the first step, and then the next.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include alternative education and learning methods, spiritual wisdom embodied by gnomes, poetic and religious narratives (Salome), and esoteric knowledge presented through book reviews and articles on manifestation. The editorial stance appears to be one that promotes spiritual exploration, self-awareness, and alternative perspectives on reality, education, and personal growth, often drawing from metaphysical and spiritual traditions.
