Magazine Overview

This issue of "Аномалия" (Anomaly), dated June 1991, is a scientific-informational bulletin from TASS and the Association "Ecology of the Unknown." The cover poses provocative questions about humanoids in the USA and the nature of aliens or beings from another world. The magazine delves into complex subjects including the nature of time, human consciousness, and phenomena related to the unknown.

Club "Crazy Idea": What is Time?

This section explores the concept of time from various perspectives. It begins with a quote from Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass" to set a whimsical tone. The article then traces the philosophical understanding of time from ancient Greek philosophers like Heraclitus and Aristotle, who viewed time as a measure of change and movement, to the paradoxes they identified (Aristotle's 'aporia').

Augustine's view of time as an internal characteristic of the soul, where only the present exists and the past is a memory, is discussed. The text highlights how this mystical interpretation dominated medieval thought for centuries.

The article contrasts this with Newton's concept of absolute space and time, which he believed flowed uniformly and independently. Leibniz's critique of Newton's view, suggesting God would need to constantly maintain the universe's clockwork, is presented. The section then moves to philosophers like Kant, who saw time as a subjective form necessary for perceiving the objective world, and Schopenhauer, who linked it to thought and will. Marx, however, defined time as the form of existence of matter.

In the 20th century, thinkers like Bertrand Russell, Henri Bergson, Martin Heidegger, and Nikolai Berdyaev offered their interpretations of time as a continuous flow, a fundamental aspect of being, or an inner epoch of eternity. Despite these contributions, the article suggests that clarity on the problem of time remained elusive.

The focus then shifts to physics, particularly the work of Einstein and Minkowski, who proposed a four-dimensional spacetime continuum. Quantum mechanics revealed the interplay between time and energy at the particle level. Ilya Prigogine's work on irreversible thermodynamics introduced the concept of 'internal time' with duration, resolving Aristotle's paradox.

Further exploration into speculative ideas includes contributions from Stephen Hawking, who suggested time's arrow might reverse with universal contraction, and Richard Feynman, who described the positron as an electron moving backward in time. Other concepts mentioned are Kurt Gödel's possible time loops and the idea of an eight-dimensional spacetime proposed by E. Raucher. Kip Thorne and Igor Novikov's work on the possibility of time machines for travel to the past and future is also noted.

The article quotes Shakespeare via Pasternak's translation: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, / Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." It then references V.I. Vernadsky's observations on how processes in living matter differ from inert matter in their temporal aspect, highlighting a unique feature of the biosphere.

The text notes a recent surge of ideas, some bordering on the 'crazy' or unaccepted by mainstream science. Nikolai Kozyrev's 'causal mechanics' is presented, suggesting time is a substance filling space, and that it's not time itself that flows, but rather a hyper-plane of simultaneous events. This theory predicts observable effects like additional forces in mechanical processes and changes in rotating bodies.

Another model discussed is Yuri Chugaevsky's physical vacuum theory, which posits a crystal-like medium where excitations are described by a nonlinear equation. This model suggests the possibility of faster-than-light information transfer and phenomena like psychokinesis. It also offers a resolution to the mind-body problem, viewing matter and spirit as different classes of solutions to the fundamental equation. Yuri Fomin suggests our world is multidimensional, and Igor Shmelev describes the universe as a dynamic holographic phase, where past, present, and future coexist synchronously and can be 'read' instantaneously across the universe.

The section concludes by acknowledging that these ideas, while potentially 'crazy,' are physically grounded and offer new ways to understand time.

Congresses, Conferences: France: We Are All Immortal

This section reports on the "Physics and Consciousness" congress held in France. The concept originated from the "Physics and Consciousness" research institute founded by Patrick Druo on Vosges mountain in 1989. The institute aims to unite individuals working on awakening human consciousness. Participants include medical professionals, specialists in physical and mental health, business leaders, engineers, and yoga instructors, all dedicated to advancing a new understanding of human existence.

The institute, established over three years, investigates realms beyond the five senses, suggesting that beyond the physical body and ordinary consciousness lie vast, unused human potentials. This initiative seeks to explore the profound significance of human beings, challenging pragmatic and Cartesian beliefs.

The "Physics and Consciousness" Institute was officially founded in September 1990, with Patrick Druo as its president. The first international congress, organized by the institute, took place in Paris in March 1991. Its primary focus was on the current evolutionary leap in human perception, recognizing the universe as a living entity where consciousness is planetary.

This new perspective encourages a shift away from old ways of thinking, leading to an understanding that beyond the physical world lies a state of pure consciousness, free from the ego. All other states are seen as illusory.

The congress brought together international experts from various scientific and spiritual fields to share their visions of a changing world. Speakers from different origins and continents aimed to enrich the collective experience regarding new perceptual limits and aspects of birth, death, illness, and planetary healing. The event aimed to foster understanding of the dynamic process of cosmic consciousness embodied in physical form.

Brief reports on participant presentations include:

• Peter Russell (UK), a graduate of Cambridge with degrees in mathematics, theoretical physics, psychology, and computer science, discussed the extraordinary period in human history, emphasizing how global crises necessitate fundamental changes in behavior, thinking, and consciousness. He highlighted the inevitable awakening of our true essence and planetary/cosmic function.
• Professor Bernard Herzog (France), an oncologist, psychoanalyst, and artist, presented on the causes of illness and the principles of four states of matter within human psyche, drawing from practical experience and his views on human existence.
• Nancy Mac-Manigle (USA), director of the Monroe Institute, discussed her 20+ years of research into human consciousness and its reserves, particularly the use of 'hemi-sync' technology in professional fields like medicine, therapy, and education.
• Goswami Kriyananda (USA) spoke on exploring various levels of consciousness accessible to human intellect, drawing from Kriya Yoga traditions and ancient spiritual science.
• Patrick Druo (France), a physicist, presented his view that the human mind and consciousness extend beyond the brain, leading to a unified theory of universal intelligence that transcends time and space. He discussed spiritual energy, termed consciousness, from individual, collective, and planetary perspectives.
• Rosetta Poletti (Switzerland), a psychotherapist, discussed spiritual manifestations and their potential for diagnosing and treating illnesses, as well as exploring new types of energy. Her research suggests that physical fields emanate from humans, and that space and time are not the sole governing principles of the universe.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine "Аномалия" consistently explores topics at the fringes of conventional science and philosophy, including the nature of time, consciousness, paranormal phenomena, and extraterrestrial life. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and inquisitive, presenting a wide range of theories and research, from established scientific concepts to more speculative and 'unconventional' ideas. The publication seems to encourage critical thinking and the exploration of the unknown, as evidenced by its focus on 'crazy ideas' and the presentation of diverse viewpoints from scientists, philosophers, and researchers worldwide.

This issue of "Аномалия" (Anomaliya) from June 1991, volume 14, is titled "USA: UNINVITED GUESTS" and focuses heavily on UFO sightings and alleged alien encounters. It includes reports from the USA, Belgium, and Russia, alongside articles on yoga.

USA: UNINVITED GUESTS

The lead story details the experience of George and Shirley Coin, who reported a shared dream about three alien figures visiting their bedroom. George later discovered a small, hard object in his nose, which he believed was an implant. This led him to consult ufologists, and through hypnosis, he recalled a procedure where a small device was inserted into his nose. The object, primarily carbon, was sent for laboratory analysis, with preliminary findings suggesting it might be a microscopic computer.

The article introduces investigator Лю Фэриша and mentions a meeting in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, where the Coin's story was presented. It also highlights the work of Donald Ware, a former US Air Force pilot and researcher for MUFON, who investigated a case of alleged abduction where an implant was inserted into a woman's nostril. Ware and his colleagues, Vicki Lions and Charles Flannigan, faced telepathic warnings to cease their investigation.

Another case involves Bud Hopkins, a renowned ufologist, who received a letter from two police officers reporting a woman being lifted by a beam of light into a UFO. This incident corroborated a previous case Hopkins was investigating, providing independent witness testimony.

Hopkins' research suggests that many abductees first encountered aliens in early childhood. He also investigated cases of artificial insemination and forced abortions on UFOs. The article notes that children are increasingly becoming targets of attention from these entities, citing children's drawings as potential evidence.

Hopkins' perspective is presented: he believes the UFO phenomenon is a serious, potentially revolutionary problem that should be rigorously investigated, rather than dismissed.

BELGIUM: GUESTS FROM COSMOS

This section reports on a significant wave of UFO sightings in Belgium, beginning in late 1989. The Belgian Society for the Study of Cosmic Phenomena (BOIKF) has collected over 1500 credible reports. A detailed account is given of an incident on the night of March 30-31, 1990, involving multiple witnesses, including gendarmes and military personnel. They observed several powerful, colored lights that formed geometric patterns, including triangles and spheres. The objects exhibited unusual flight characteristics, including rapid acceleration and changes in direction, and were tracked by radar. Belgian Air Force F-16 interceptors were scrambled but lost contact.

Analysis by the Belgian Air Force concluded that the objects were not conventional aircraft. The objects were described as large, dark triangles, approximately 30-40 meters in diameter, with powerful projectors and a central flashing red-orange light. Some reports mentioned red and blue lights on the object's nose. The objects moved silently or with a low hum, capable of hovering and rapid maneuvers.

Experts from BOIKF and the military dismiss meteorological phenomena or mass hallucinations, believing the sightings point to material objects of unknown origin.

IN THE SKY OVER LIANOZOVO

This is a personal account from Roman Yurkov, a 9th-grade student from Moscow, who observed an unidentified object on February 26, 1990. He describes it as initially appearing as a point of light, then transforming into a disc or biconvex lens as it approached. The object had an unusual crimson-red color and did not emit light or reflections. Its estimated size was comparable to a five-kopeck coin at arm's length. The object followed a broken trajectory, moving towards the ground, then parallel to the surface, and finally ascending back into the clouds. Yurkov, who was 13 at the time, dismissed his mother's suggestion that it was a bird or kite, and considered the possibility of it being a weather balloon or a typical UFO.

CONTACT. WITH WHOM?

This section features a poem by Natalia S. from Tolyatti, who claims to be a contactee. She describes her ability to channel information on topics of cosmology, time, and existence, often writing complex philosophical texts that even she doesn't fully understand. Her writings are described as containing advanced mathematical concepts, despite her average education. She experiences fatigue and headaches after these contacts. The poem, titled "My hand, writing lines," is presented as a fragment of a larger work, with a pseudonym "Nura Daniаne" attributed to it.

Yoga Section: Discipline of Mind and Body

This part of the magazine provides instructions for two yoga poses:

Matsyasana (Fish Pose)

This pose involves lying on the back, arching the spine upwards, and resting on the knees and crown of the head (or forehead). It is described as beneficial for eye conditions, throat ailments, spinal flexibility, digestion, and skin health. It is particularly recommended for women.

Chakrasana (Wheel Pose)

This pose involves lying on the back, placing hands on the floor beside the head, and lifting the body into an arched position, resembling a wheel. It is said to combat premature aging, improve spinal flexibility, enhance body plasticity, and increase chest and lung capacity. It is considered especially valuable for dancers. The article advises performing it gradually and with assistance if needed.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores unexplained phenomena, with a focus on UFOs and alleged alien encounters. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded investigation, encouraging the collection and analysis of evidence, even if it seems fantastical. The articles present witness testimonies, investigator reports, and scientific analysis, urging readers to consider the possibility of extraterrestrial origins for these phenomena. The inclusion of yoga articles suggests an interest in mind-body practices and alternative health methods.

Title: Контакт. С кем? (Contact. With Whom?)
Issue Date: June 1991 (06.91)
Document Type: Magazine Issue

This issue of "Kontakt. S kem?" delves into the extraordinary claims of Klara Malikova, a resident of Tashkent, who alleges consistent telepathic contact with an extraterrestrial entity named Kovespol from the planet Puatoston. The magazine presents this case through an interview with Malikova, accompanied by reproductions of her drawings and hieroglyphs, and contextualizes it within the broader landscape of spiritism and UFO phenomena.

The Case of Klara Malikova

The central narrative revolves around Klara Malikova, a seemingly ordinary woman who, starting on July 9th, began experiencing involuntary automatic writing and drawing. Initially, her hand produced incomprehensible symbols, which later evolved into intricate drawings and hieroglyphs. She attributes these phenomena to a telepathic connection with an entity she calls Kovespol.

Malikova describes Kovespol as a 'cosmonaut' from a distant planet. Her initial contact involved seeing a faint, cloud-like humanoid figure with antennae near her television. The communication is primarily telepathic, with Kovespol providing short, direct answers to her questions. She recounts how her hand would move on its own, drawing pictures and symbols, and how she felt compelled to continue even when she tried to stop.

One of the key aspects of Malikova's experience is the creation of drawings. The issue features a drawing dated November 19, 1990, described as a result of joint creativity between Kovespol and Malikova. Another page displays a series of complex symbols, presented as an 'extraterrestrial message' for readers to decipher. Malikova explains that Kovespol instructed her to draw with her left hand to develop the other hemisphere of her brain.

She also describes receiving a 'talisman' drawing from Kovespol, which she was told was for her personal use. During the process of receiving this talisman, she experienced a physical sensation of being lifted, which she described as a state of profound relaxation rather than fear.

Malikova's contact is not limited to drawing; she also engages in telepathic dialogue. Kovespol reportedly warned her about an impending ecological catastrophe on Earth, suggesting that his mission, along with others on his 'station' (including one named Ulistira), is to guide humanity. He also commented on the inadequacy of human language for conveying complex cosmic knowledge, implying that the study of alien scripts is necessary.

Regarding the appearance of extraterrestrials, Malikova relays Kovespol's description of his people as similar to humans but taller, with vertical pupils and wider noses, capable of turning their faces without moving their heads. Their planet has a slightly thinner atmosphere and they subsist on vegetation.

Malikova also touched upon the topic of UFOs, stating that Kovespol identified them as belonging to various civilizations and that the abduction of people, as reported in the press, should not be happening.

Thematic Context: Spiritism and Alien Contact

The magazine article "SPIRITISM AS IT IS" by an unnamed author provides a historical and thematic context for Malikova's experiences. It traces the evolution of spiritism from its mid-19th century origins, initially involving communication with spirits of the deceased, to its modern manifestation, which increasingly incorporates themes of extraterrestrial contact and cosmic intelligence.

The author notes that early spiritism rarely involved cosmic themes, but the 'space age' shifted this focus. The article cites the case of George Adamski in 1953, who claimed regular contact with Venusians, Martians, and Saturnians, disseminating information about life on other planets through books. This marked a significant transition in the public perception of spiritism.

The author contrasts the information received through spiritism with scientific findings, particularly in the case of Adamski, whose claims were later contradicted by space exploration. However, the article acknowledges that the pursuit of cosmic information through spiritual means continues.

It highlights various conceptual frameworks used by 'contactees' to explain their experiences. These include the idea of a cosmic union of civilizations, Earth as a grand cosmic experiment, the struggle between good and evil forces in the universe, the concept of a single, unifying cosmic intelligence (sometimes equated with God), and the emergence of robot civilizations.

The article also discusses the potential for deception in such contacts, cautioning that while the contactee might be sincere, the information received could be misleading or part of a larger deception. It references the work of researcher Yu.A. Fomin, who has commented on phenomena related to spiritism and anomalous events, and recommends his book "Anatomy of Miracles."

Editorial Stance and Recurring Themes

The magazine "Kontakt. S kem?" appears to be dedicated to exploring anomalous phenomena, particularly those related to UFOs and extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance seems to be one of open inquiry, presenting claims and experiences of individuals like Klara Malikova while also providing critical analysis and historical context, as seen in the article on spiritism.

Recurring themes include:

• Alien Communication: The methods and content of communication between humans and extraterrestrials, including telepathy, automatic writing, and symbolic language.
• UFO Sightings and Encounters: Reports and analyses of alleged encounters with UFOs and their occupants.
• Spiritism and Psychic Phenomena: The historical and contemporary aspects of spiritism, psychic abilities, and their connection to extraterrestrial contact.
• Interpretation of Symbols: The challenge of deciphering alien symbols, hieroglyphs, and drawings.
• Cosmic Consciousness and Missions: The idea of a higher cosmic intelligence and the purported missions of extraterrestrials towards humanity, often involving warnings or guidance.

The magazine encourages reader participation, as evidenced by the invitation to decipher the 'alien message' presented in the issue.

This issue of "Аномалия" (Anomaly), dated 06.91, with volume 29, titled "Контакт. С кем?" (Contact. With whom?), published by TASS, delves into the complex subject of spiritualism and its implications, alongside a scientific discussion on bioindication.

Spiritualism: The Nature of Contact

The article "Контакт. С кем?" begins by defining spiritualism as a phenomenon involving dialogue with unknown entities, often facilitated by simple tools like spirit boards, pendulums, or rods. It outlines the progression from group sessions to individual, more advanced forms of contact, including automatic writing and direct mental communication, where individuals may report hearing voices.

A significant portion of the article is dedicated to analyzing the information obtained through spiritualist sessions. Researchers have analyzed hundreds of protocols from both contemporary and historical seances over 25 years. The information was categorized into four groups: 1) Verifiable information known to participants; 2) Unverifiable information; 3) Information that is later disproven; and 4) Information that is later verified. The analysis revealed that only 5-10% of the information falls into the fourth category, with many 'contactees' receiving only unverifiable 'cosmic' information.

The article suggests that the 'counterparts' in spiritualist contacts might be informational complexes of deceased individuals who retain consciousness and can activate by drawing energy from mediums. This explains the often intra-species nature of the contacts, implying a connection between informational complexes of living or deceased humans.

It is emphasized that spiritualism is not a harmless activity. Individuals involved can lose their ability to assess information critically, become dependent on their contacts, and may experience psychological issues or even fatal outcomes.

Bioindication: A Scientific Approach to Environmental Health

Another section of the magazine addresses the growing concern over unfavorable ecological factors and their impact on human health, particularly for those in industrial sectors and surrounding areas. It proposes the use of bioindication to assess anthropogenic impacts on natural ecosystems by observing the reactions of living organisms.

• A specific methodology for cellular-level bioindication is presented, utilizing cell cultures from human and animal embryos. This method aims to:
• Study the effects of harmful factors in industries like gas, metallurgy, and chemical production.
• Select special protective agents (protectors) to shield individuals from harmful influences.
• Determine the dosage and application tactics for these protectors in both normal and emergency situations.
• Provide recommendations for occupational pathologists on using protectors for treatment and recovery, including cases of poisoning and burns.

The article notes that these protectors have undergone successful field trials at various enterprises. The developer is identified as the Biophysics Laboratory of the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, located in Novosibirsk. Contact information for the laboratory and for the "Экология непознанного" (Ecology of the Unknown) Association in Moscow is provided.
