Editorial Stance and Recurring Themes

Beyond Reality consistently explores themes of the paranormal, unexplained phenomena, ancient mysteries, and alternative theories regarding human history and consciousness. The magazine appears to embrace a perspective that is open to investigating and reporting on subjects often dismissed by mainstream science, as evidenced by its coverage of UFOs, ESP, psychic abilities, ancient astronauts, and reincarnation. The "Letters to the Editor" section indicates a readership actively engaged with these topics and seeking further information and connections. The magazine's editorial stance seems to be one of encouraging exploration of these subjects, providing a platform for diverse viewpoints, and challenging conventional explanations.

The magazine is published bi-monthly and is available via subscription or single copy purchase. It also offers back issues for sale.

Title: Beyond Reality
Issue: 11
Volume: 1
Date: (Assumed 1974 based on context and page numbering)

This issue of Beyond Reality explores a range of topics related to unexplained phenomena, ancient mysteries, and the fringes of science. It features articles on UFO sightings, theories about ancient extraterrestrial contact, the enigmatic continent of Atlantis, and the unique artistic process of Curtis Watkins, who paints under hypnosis.

The Dogon Tribe and Sirius

The article "The Dogon Tribe of Mali" by Robert K.G. Temple presents a fascinating theory that this West African tribe possesses ancient knowledge about the star Sirius, including details about its companion star, Sirius B, that modern astronomers only recently confirmed. Temple's book, "The Sirius Mystery," suggests that these beings, possibly from the Sirius star system, visited Earth around 5000 years ago and left behind knowledge preserved by the Dogon people. Officials from NASA are reportedly investigating these theories.

The Mexican 'Silent Zone'

Another piece details a mysterious area in north-central Mexico known as the "silent zone." Located about 230 miles from the Texas border, this region is characterized by a complete radio blackout, malfunctioning compasses, strangely mutated plant and animal life, and an abundance of fallen meteorites. Discovered in 1969 by Mexican engineer Harry de la Pena, the area has drawn the attention of government agencies like NASA and the U.S. Air Force, especially after an Atlas missile was drawn into the region during a 1970 test-firing.

UFO Encounters in Chile

The magazine reports on several UFO sightings in Chile. Radio announcer Oscar Bravo of Puntas Arenas described seeing two bright, orange objects that later turned greenish and moved rapidly in a 'V' formation. Additionally, passengers on a bus in southern Chile reported oval-shaped objects following them, estimated to be about 50 feet in diameter. Another incident involved a six-man army patrol who witnessed two large, glowing objects with flashing red lights descending from the sky, one of which landed in the foothills.

The Hypnotic Art of Curtis Watkins

An extensive feature focuses on the artist Curtis Watkins, who creates art under self-hypnosis. Described as exciting and fantastic, Watkins' technique involves entering a trance and programming himself to paint, with him acting as an observer. He recounts strange experiences, such as signing his own signature in his subject's handwriting on a portrait, and another portrait featuring braille that spelled "French" along with musical notes and a white cane, despite neither he nor the subject knowing braille. Watkins is also contracted to illustrate a book about the Pascagoula abduction case, creating portraits of the aliens from the subconscious recollections of the abductees, Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson.

The Mystery of Atlantis

The article "Atlantis: Fact or Fiction?" by Garnette M. Ammerman delves into the legendary lost continent. It examines Plato's account, arguing that his detailed description suggests it was a real place rather than a fable. The piece touches upon various investigations and discoveries, including people who seem strangely different from their surroundings, such as the Canary Islanders and the Basques, who are theorized to be descendants of Atlanteans. Geological evidence, like the submerged Dolphin Ridge in the Atlantic, is presented as supporting the idea of a large landmass that once existed in the region. The article also recounts Captain David Robson's 1882 discovery of a mysterious island south of the Azores, which yielded artifacts but was never found again, suggesting it may have been a transient feature related to volcanic activity.

Biblical Prophecies and Spaceships

Ronald Pokatiloff's article, "It may sound like science fiction, but much evidence points to the conclusion that only time travel can be the answer to the many strange, and until now, unexplained mysteries found in the Biblical scriptures, such as the saga of Ezekiel," proposes that biblical prophecies and descriptions of divine encounters might be explained by time-traveling spacemen. He references Josef Blumrich's book, "The Spaceships of Ezekiel," which interprets biblical passages as descriptions of spacecraft and astronauts encountered by the prophet Ezekiel in 593 B.C. The article details Ezekiel's visions of oblong structures with helicopter blades, landing legs, and mechanical hands, and his transportation by a spaceship.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of Beyond Reality consistently explores themes of the unexplained, the extraterrestrial, and ancient mysteries. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, presenting various theories and accounts without necessarily endorsing them as fact, but rather as subjects worthy of consideration and further research. The magazine seems to cater to an audience interested in UFOlogy, ancient civilizations, parapsychology, and alternative interpretations of history and religious texts. The recurring emphasis on evidence, even if speculative, suggests a desire to bridge the gap between the extraordinary and the potentially rational.

Title: Beyond Reality
Issue: 22
Date: 1977

This issue of Beyond Reality delves into a variety of esoteric and historical topics, including theories on the lost continent of Atlantis, paranormal phenomena, ancient Egyptian occultism, and the nature of extrasensory perception (ESP).

Atlantis: Myth or Reality?

The magazine explores multiple theories regarding the location of Atlantis. One theory, supported by Edgerton Sykes of the Atlantis Research Center, places Atlantis off the Azores, citing the discovery of ancient stone statues dredged from the sea. Another perspective, championed by James W. Mavor, an engineer from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, suggests Atlantis was centered in the Aegean Sea on the island of Thera. Mavor's book, "Voyage to Atlantis," details his expedition exploring the Minoan civilization buried beneath volcanic ash, which he believes is the lost Atlantean culture. He presents evidence of pottery, frescoes, and structures that align with Plato's descriptions, and notes the catastrophic volcanic eruption of Thera that submerged a significant portion of the island.

Further theories propose Atlantis's influence on civilizations in the western Atlantic, such as the Aztec and Toltec cultures. The text highlights similarities in architecture, like the corbeled vault and mortar techniques used by the Maya, and the stone-on-stone vertical thrust in Yucatan and Mexican architecture, suggesting a connection to Atlantean methods. The commonality of distinct structures like temples, pyramids, and stone circles worldwide, often possessing calendrical significance, is also noted, as is the practice of mummification.

An account is given of Edgar Cayce's prediction that discoveries off the coast of Bimini in the Bahamas would provide evidence of ancient Atlantis, expected around 1968 or 1969. Robert Ferro and Michael Grumley's book, "Atlantis: the Autobiography of a Search," documents their adventure and discoveries near Bimini, including underwater remains of pillars dated to 15,000 B.C., which they believe were part of a large structure or road.

The article notes that oceanographers now agree that large landmasses once occupied the area now covered by the North Atlantic before the Americas. The catastrophic collapse of Thera is compared to the 1883 Krakatoa eruption and the 1902 Martinique disaster, emphasizing the scale of destruction.

Avatar Power Chants

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to promoting "Avatar Power Chants," presented as a method to achieve wealth, health, love, and other desires. Geof Gray-Cobb, author of "The Miracle of New Avatar Power," claims that by repeating specific chants, individuals can invoke a magic power to bring about instantaneous results. Numerous testimonials are provided, detailing successes such as winning lotteries, receiving unexpected money, resolving legal issues, rekindling relationships, and achieving financial stability. The article asserts that these chants work regardless of belief and can bring about miracles within days or even hours.

The Enigma of the Weinberg Phantom!

This article recounts the alleged paranormal experience of Elizabeth Eslinger, who was incarcerated in a jail in Weinsberg, Germany, in September 1835. Eslinger complained of being visited nightly by a bizarre phantom with the shape of a man dressed in a flowing black robe. The apparition was described as having a projecting chin, forehead, deep-set eyes, a long beard, and a face resembling dried parchment. It made crackling noises, blew cold gusts of air, and pulled her body. While Eslinger could not touch the apparition, it could touch her with an icy cold touch that felt like burning tears. The phantom reportedly spoke, claiming to be a Catholic priest from the fifteenth century and begging for prayers. Other prisoners in nearby cells could also hear him.

A physician named Kerner investigated the case. On October 15, he joined Eslinger in her cell and heard rattling sounds, while Eslinger saw the phantom. Kerner's attempt to command the apparition to leave was met with more rattling. Three nights later, Kerner, his wife, and the wife of the prison warden all witnessed and heard similar phenomena. Further investigations involved a judge named Heyd, who, along with Kerner, felt a cool wind but saw nothing. The warden's wife and her niece also reported seeing a yellow light, sparks, smelling something rotten, and hearing an unearthly voice moaning and begging for prayers. The apparition reportedly took the form of a shadowy figure of a man, floated out of the cell, and later vanished.

Other prisoners, including Frederica Follen and Catherine Sinn, also reported encounters with similar phenomena, such as being grabbed by the throat or hearing crackling sounds.

Occult Secrets of the Pharaohs

This section, an excerpt from Christopher Hill's book "Rays From The Capstone," explores the religious and mystical beliefs of ancient Egypt, particularly concerning pyramids and the deity Osiris. The article draws parallels between the Christian concept of Christ as a savior and the Egyptian belief in Osiris. It explains that Egyptians built pyramids as funeral homes for their rulers and believed that the soul could be saved under certain conditions. The myth of Osiris, his murder by his brother Seth, and his resurrection by his wife Isis, resulting in their son Horus with an all-seeing eye, is recounted. The concept of the 'Ka' or spirit body needing life force for the afterlife is discussed, leading to the practice of mummification and the preservation of the physical body.

The article details the process of pickling the dead body, removing and preserving the brains, heart, and entrails in airtight jars. It mentions the construction of the Cheops pyramid around 2590 B.C. and the ancient Egyptians' worship of Prana (life force) and the sun's rays. The Pharaoh was seen as a manifestation of Horus and later as the 'Son of Re,' connecting royal power with divine energy.

The text also touches upon the role of Imhotep and the development of the priesthood, noting how political ambitions led to the perversion of original religious concepts. The temporary monotheistic campaign of Akhnaton against the priests of Amon is mentioned. The article discusses the use of the Pi-Ray Orgone Accumulator Coffer as a tool for accumulating life force and the significance of the Egyptian Ankh symbol (Crux Ansata) as the key of life, associated with water and consciousness.

Psycles: A New Form of ESP

This article introduces 'Psycles,' a purported new form of ESP linked to a mysterious timing of personal troubles. The author recounts an incident where a hostess's nephew fell while retrieving old photos. The author suggests this fall was not accidental but a deliberate, albeit subconscious, response to an upsetting stimulus that occurred 37 hours earlier during a therapy session where the therapist probed a new area of his subconscious. This 'timing' is presented as a precise tool for understanding the hidden reasons behind injuries, misbehaviors, and sudden illnesses, suggesting individuals are more responsible for their troubles than they realize.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the paranormal, ancient mysteries, and alternative belief systems. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into phenomena that lie outside conventional scientific understanding, presenting accounts and theories that challenge mainstream views on history, consciousness, and the supernatural. The inclusion of testimonials, historical accounts, and speculative theories suggests a commitment to exploring the unexplained and the occult.

This issue of Beyond Reality, dated from the 1970s, explores a variety of intriguing topics including biological rhythms, extrasensory perception (ESP), unexplained phenomena, and historical mysteries. The magazine features articles on the 'circadian rhythm' and its potential connection to ESP, a historical account of the 'Gloucester Sea Monster,' and an investigation into 'Cattle Mutilation: Witchcraft Rituals or Space Invasion?' It also includes reports on NASA's space program advancements.

The Circadian Rhythm and its Half-Wave

The lead article by Dwight H. Bulkley introduces the concept of the circadian rhythm, a biological cycle averaging 24.8 hours, which governs numerous physiological processes in living creatures. The article posits that by examining the 'half-waves' or 'troughs' of these rhythms, particularly at 37-hour intervals, researchers can uncover surprising connections and understand the underlying reasons for accidents and illnesses, a phenomenon termed 'homeostasis.' The author suggests that instances like an aunt's spontaneous action aligning with a nephew's unconscious need point to subconscious communication and ESP.

Several case histories are presented to illustrate these 'psycles.' One involves a woman attacked and raped, where both she and her husband had a premonition 37 hours prior. Another case describes a woman who was almost raped, with the event occurring 37 hours after a tempestuous date, suggesting a symbolic re-enactment. The article also touches upon a suicide attempt occurring 36 hours after an intense emotional disturbance, linking these events through the 'psycles' timing.

The Gloucester Sea Monster!

This feature recounts the historical accounts of a sea monster sighted in Gloucester Harbor, Massachusetts, in early August 1817. The creature, described as serpent-like, at least 60 feet long and dark brown with peculiar humps, was seen by a Coast Guard crew, residents, and the lighthouse keeper. Despite numerous sightings and a reward of $50,000 for its skin, all attempts to capture or slay the creature failed. It was noted for its elusive and docile nature. Sightings continued sporadically through the 19th century and into the 20th century, with the last reported in July 1960. The creature remains an enigma.

Cattle Mutilation: Witchcraft Rituals or Space Invasion?

Authored by Howard and Lovola Burgess, this article investigates a bizarre cattle mutilation incident in Dulce, New Mexico, in mid-June 1976. The investigation, led by State Police Officer Valdez, revealed a cow that appeared to have been surgically butchered, with specific parts removed. Notably, there were no human or animal tracks around the carcass, but unusual four-inch pod prints were found, leading to a suspected landing site of a tripod-type vehicle. Evidence of higher radiation and an oily substance were also noted. The article suggests that such incidents are part of a larger, organized operation possibly involving extraterrestrial visitors, highlighting the skill and resources required, which are beyond those of ordinary cattle rustlers.

Reports from NASA

This section includes brief reports on NASA's activities. One article details technicians loading hydrazine onto the European Space Agency's GEOS spacecraft at Kennedy Space Center for a late 1977 launch. Another report features a photo of a gigantic iceberg, the size of Rhode Island, taken by NASA's Landsat satellite. A third report describes the new Space Shuttle Space Suit, designed for greater mobility and less exertion than the Apollo suits. Finally, a piece by Samuel Belil highlights new high-resolution TV cameras being developed by RCA for NASA's Landsat-C spacecraft, capable of producing detailed maps of remote Earth regions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the unexplained and the mysterious, including biological anomalies (circadian rhythms), psychic phenomena (ESP), cryptids (sea monsters), and potential extraterrestrial activity (UFOs, cattle mutilations). The magazine's stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting evidence and case studies that challenge conventional explanations and encourage readers to consider alternative possibilities. The articles often lean towards suggesting non-conventional or even extraterrestrial origins for the phenomena discussed, particularly in the cattle mutilation and ESP sections.

This issue of Beyond Reality (Volume 41, Issue 41) features a diverse range of articles exploring paranormal phenomena, psychological concepts, and controversial events. The cover story, "LIVE YOUR RE-BIRTH" by Christopher Follett, delves into the psychological and alchemical aspects of birth and conception recall. Other significant articles include an investigation into cattle mutilations and potential UFO involvement, a detailed account of a past-life regression session through hypnosis, and a report on the tragic exorcism of Anneliese Michel in West Germany. The magazine also includes promotional material for a book on witchcraft.

Cattle Mutilation: Witchcraft or Space Invasion?

This article investigates a cattle mutilation case, presenting photographic evidence of alleged UFOs captured in the sky above the site. The investigation team noted unusual radiation levels at the landing site, approximately twice the background level. Samples of an oily substance and tissue were collected for analysis, but the substance disappeared from the test container, and the tissue analysis yielded no conclusive results. The article highlights the difficulties encountered with authorities and experts who were dismissive of the findings, citing a state police officer in Taos, New Mexico, who denied animal mutilations, and a veterinarian who attributed them to animals eating dead cows. The authors express frustration with decision-makers who refuse to acknowledge unexplained phenomena.

Live Your Re-Birth

This feature, by Christopher Follett, explores the concept of reliving one's birth and conception through psychological means. It references Sigmund Freud's theories on birth trauma and anxiety. Johannes Fabricius, a Danish history teacher and author, is quoted stating that humans have the capacity to recall their birth and even their embryonic existence. The article also mentions Dr. Claus Bick, a German physician who claims to have induced patients to recall pre-birth experiences through hypnosis. The process of re-experiencing birth and conception is linked to Jung's concept of "individuation" and spiritual rebirth. The article suggests that unassimilated birth dreams can lead to neurosis and that drugs like LSD might help free individuals from birth-related angst.

Alchemy and Rebirth

The article connects the alchemists' pursuit of purifying metals to a search for divine meaning, possibly aided by hallucinogenic drugs. It highlights a book by Fabricius, "Alchemy - The Medieval Alchemists and Their Royal Art," which interprets alchemical symbolism. The book contains over 400 reproductions of alchemical art. Fabricius reiterates that human memory can recall the process of birth from the unconscious level. Dr. Claus Bick's work with hypnosis is mentioned again, supporting the idea of recalling pre-birth experiences. The article emphasizes that re-experiencing birth and conception in dreams is vital for maturity and integration, forming part of Jung's "individuation process." It notes that feelings of primordial angst often surface in the late twenties and thirties, and that unaddressed unconscious manifestations can lead to neurosis.

Travel Through Endless Lifetimes

Authored by Rev. Dee Kuespert, this article discusses reincarnation and regression by hypnosis as controversial subjects that offer answers to questions unanswered by orthodox religions, particularly concerning unexplained suffering and death. The article explains that hypnotists have developed techniques to distinguish true regression from fabrication. The author is working on a research study to provide concrete evidence of reincarnation. A regression session with a 19-year-old female, referred to as "Miss A," is detailed. In this session, Miss A recalls mundane events from recent past lives, including watching a movie about the Civil Rights Movement, getting her hair fixed, and participating in church choir practice. She also recalls being in the sixth grade, the last day of school, and being in the second grade with her teacher, Miss Jackson. Further regression takes her back to being one year old, playing on the floor, and having a favorite toy, a pink stuffed doll named Patty. The session continues to regress further, to a time before Miss A was born, where she experiences a pre-birth state of comfort and freedom. The voice then shifts to that of an "old southern woman" named Marian Wesley, who recalls her life in 1876, her death at seventy-two, and her burial in Creekville, Georgia. The session is ended due to the late hour.

Further Regression

Miss A is then regressed to being twenty-five years old, on her birthday, having just birthed her third child, a boy named Andrew Marcus. She describes her life on a large farm in Creekville, Georgia, where she lives with her husband Marcus and her other children, John Matthew (five) and Sarah Ann (three). She mentions her house is called "Wesley Place." The session then goes back even further, to a state of comfort and openness before birth, where one can go anywhere and have anything desired. The subject then experiences a life as "Marian," who is being buried in 1876, having died of old age at seventy-two. The regression then goes back to before Marian was born, to a state of pure consciousness and freedom.

Code Name: "Canon 1151"

This article by Ramona Cortez details the tragic case of Anneliese Michel, a young German school teacher who died of starvation on July 1, 1976, after undergoing an exorcism ritual. The Roman Catholic Church code-named the ritual "Canon 1151." The exorcism was authorized by Josef Stangl, Bishop of Wurzburg, and involved Father Arnold Renz. Anneliese, who suffered from epilepsy and chronic fits, received no medical attention for over a year. She weighed only 75 pounds at death. The case has caused significant controversy in West Germany, with many believing exorcism is an outdated practice. Anneliese's mother, a devout Catholic, expressed shock that no one believed in the devil despite her daughter's death. The German government has taken a serious view of the matter, with over ten manslaughter suits filed against the priests and bishop. The article notes that it had been over two hundred years since an exorcism was performed in Wurzburg.

Witchcraft Promotion

This section is a promotional advertisement for a book titled "THE MAGIC POWER OF WITCHCRAFT" by Gavin Frost and Yvonne Frost. It claims that witchcraft can bring wealth, love, protection, and power. The book reportedly offers step-by-step instructions on various spells and rituals, including a "Witch's Money Jar" that fills with money, a "Witch's Money Magnet" to multiply money, and a "Witch's Black Mirror" for psychic visions. It also claims to teach methods for healing, telepathy, influencing others, and finding a desired partner. The advertisement highlights testimonials of people who have allegedly benefited from these practices, such as receiving money, expensive gifts, and even miraculous healing. It also promotes the ability to see into the future and manipulate time. A no-risk coupon is provided for ordering the book.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of Beyond Reality include the exploration of the unexplained, the paranormal, and the human psyche. The magazine appears to adopt an open-minded stance towards controversial subjects like UFOs, reincarnation, and witchcraft, presenting them as subjects worthy of investigation and discussion. There is a clear interest in challenging conventional explanations and exploring alternative perspectives on reality. The editorial stance seems to encourage readers to maintain an open mind, as stated in the "Travel Through Endless Lifetimes" article: "an open mind can bring peace and understanding, but a closed mind keeps us in a tight little trap of fear of the unknown."

This issue of Beyond Reality magazine explores a diverse range of topics related to the unexplained, including advanced technology, psychic phenomena, ancient mysteries, and UFO investigations. The cover prominently features the headline "UFOs May Doom Life On Earth," suggesting a focus on government findings regarding extraterrestrial threats.

Letters to the Editor

A letter from Michael Cohen discusses advanced propulsion systems, including fusion and anti-matter power, and questions the government's handling of nuclear technology research, such as the NERVA rocket engines and nuclear aircraft projects. Cohen suggests a possible connection between the billions spent on nuclear aircraft and the "modern" UFO phenomenon. He also criticizes the book being reviewed for praising ancient astronaut technology over contemporary scientific advancements.

Peter Sellers' Guiding Voices

This section details comic-actor Peter Sellers' experiences with the afterlife, clairvoyance, and Spiritualism following a near-fatal heart attack in 1965. Sellers claims to hear "guiding voices" that have revitalized his career, including advising him to reprise his role as Inspector Jacques Clouseau. He states these voices are "always correct" and can predict future events. Sellers attributes his renewed success and inner peace to these psychic encounters, considering them "incredible proof" of psychic power.

Spacemen From Other Dimensions

This article, continued from page 13, presents a theory that spaceships mentioned in biblical texts originated not from alien worlds, but from a future Earth. The author, referencing Edgar Cayce's readings, suggests that advanced civilizations existed on Earth in the past, possibly with interstellar capabilities. The theory posits that these were not alien beings but future humans traveling back in time. The article also touches upon ancient Hebrew health codes, suggesting they may have been influenced by future earthmen, citing examples like leprosy regulations and the timing of circumcision.

UFOs May Doom Life On Earth

This feature article, prominently displayed on the cover, claims that a secret Air Force report admits UFOs pose a real threat. It asserts that the government, despite initially calling UFOs a hoax, conducted a top-secret investigation called Project Blue Book to trace their origins. The article promises to reveal "alarming truths" and "official U.S. Government findings" that shocked scientists. It highlights the government's efforts to communicate with extraterrestrial life and mentions a scientist reporting a UFO sighting on the same day as the National Science Foundation's communication attempt. The article lists extensive contents available in the "Project Blue Book" report, including case listings, photos, sketches, and official procedures. It also correlates UFO sightings with significant historical events like President Kennedy's assassination and the Pueblo incident, suggesting a connection between UFO activity and societal upheaval.

Psyles: A New Form of ESP

This section, continued from page 33, introduces "Psycles" as a new form of ESP, described as an unconscious, distance-spanning form of communication. The article uses examples like traffic tickets, near-accidents, and confrontations within families to illustrate how subconscious communication might be at play. President Ford's limousine incident in October 1975 is cited as an example, linking it to a potential confrontation with his son Jack. The author suggests that humans have been "engineering the most fantastic things" subconsciously and that there might be an "omniscience" guiding life. Keeping a diary is recommended as a way to explore and solve personal problems through understanding these subconscious motivations.

Secrets of the Pharaohs

Continued from page 29, this piece discusses the energy produced by pyramids. It states that a symbol representing the pyramid can generate the same energy as a physical pyramid, making the latter unnecessary. The article mentions three pyramid energies: a positive green energy from the capstone, a negative green energy flowing downward, and the Pi-ray, a life-preserving energy known to ancient Egyptians, used to keep mummies moist. The Pi-ray was directed at a specific angle from the capstone to the mummy coffer in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid.

Atlantis: Fact or Fiction?

This article, continued from page 22, explores the concept of Atlantis. It suggests that Edgar Cayce's readings imply a highly advanced civilization with aircraft, radio, and wireless power transmission. Cayce spoke of Atlantis sending ships and establishing colonies worldwide, with an ample supply of copper. The climate was equable, and architecture featured roofless stone buildings. Navigation was advanced, possibly using a compass. Crete and Atlantis shared sea power, imperialism, public works, and bull ceremonialism. The destruction of Atlantis is described as occurring in at least three catastrophic events between 50,000 B.C. and 10,000 B.C., possibly due to man's misuse of resources like atomic energy. Edgar Cayce predicted that the land of Atlantis would rise again, with records verifying its history. The article questions how to explain missing islands, advanced civilizations among less advanced cultures, and the philosophical story of a lost continent without considering Atlantis.

Cattle Mutilation: Withcraft or Space Invasion?

This section, continued from page 41, examines cattle mutilations. The author notes that the parts removed were done so surgically, and the time and location were precise. "Footprints" were measured, and the landing area was checked for radiation. The reaction of other animals was observed, and a two-month-old calf disappeared. Notably, no human signs were found, but over a dozen people, including state and Indian officials, witnessed and verified the facts. The article mentions a $18,000 reward offer for information, with no takers, suggesting the perpetrators are not motivated by typical financial gain. It also humorously references "Bionic Coyotes" as a possible explanation.

Live Your Re-Birth

This article, continued from page 43, features Johannes Fabricius, a Dutch historian and author, discussing unconscious manifestations in art and everyday life. Fabricius interprets Edvard Munch's painting "The Cry" as an expression of primordial birth angst, with the fjord representing the vagina and the embryo-like head undergoing birth. He also sees symbolism in Grimm's "Little Red Riding Hood," where the wolf swallowing Granny and Red Riding Hood represents the birth process. Fabricius links the popularity of films like "Jaws" to unconscious birth anxiety. The article mentions Dr. Arthur Janov and Primal Therapists guiding patients to re-experience early traumas, including birth. It concludes that buried memories of birth may be key to self-knowledge.

This issue of Beyond Reality delves into a variety of paranormal and speculative topics, with a strong focus on mind control, climate change, and unexplained phenomena. The magazine features articles that aim to inform and intrigue readers about subjects often considered controversial.

"Automatic Mind-Command": The Power to Control Others

The lead article, "How to Make Others Secretly Do Your Bidding with the Astonishing Power of Automatic Mind Command!", introduces a method claimed to grant users the ability to control the thoughts and actions of others without their awareness. Scott Reed, described as a leading mind-power expert, author, and psychic advisor, is credited with this revelation. The article provides testimonials from individuals who allegedly used this power to gain financial advantages, resolve personal issues, and influence social interactions. Examples include a factory worker receiving unexpected funds, a woman recovering lost rent money, and a boss apologizing to an employee. The method is presented as simple to learn and apply, requiring only a few minutes to get started, and promises instant life changes, including wealth, love, and peace.

"Unusual Universe": Climate Change and Environmental Concerns

Authored by Curt Sutherly, this section explores the concept of unusual climate changes and the potential for a new ice age. It notes that seasons are no longer what they once were, citing the extreme weather of the 1977 winter and earlier anomalies like a virtually non-existent spring in the Eastern United States. Climatologists are reportedly concerned about drastic climatic shifts within the next century or two. The article outlines four key facts: a steady decline in northern hemisphere temperatures since 1940, mankind's contribution to atmospheric heat, the link between volcanic activity and glacial periods, and the influence of galactic dust lanes on solar activity. It discusses the "Little Ice Age" and the potential impact of man-made thermal pollution from urban sprawl and industrial facilities, which may counteract natural cooling trends. The potential threat to the Earth's ozone layer from aerosol sprays is also highlighted, with fears of increased ultraviolet radiation and ecological disruption. Research teams from NCAR and NOAA have confirmed damage to the ozone layer, though government action is reportedly hampered by industry influence.

Further exploring climate change, the article touches upon theories involving space dust, citing researchers like Fred Hoyle and W.H. McCrea. McCrea's theory suggests that as the solar system passes through galactic dust lanes, the sun burns more intensely, leading to increased solar radiation and potentially a new ice age. The article also mentions a contrasting observation by researchers M.J. Salinger and J.M. Gunn, who noted a temperature increase in New Zealand while the northern hemisphere experienced cooling.

"The Haunted Schoolhouse": A Night of Psychic Investigation

This article, by Gary Parsons, recounts a night spent by a group of psychic researchers in the Fredonia Normal School in New York. The school, which burned down in 1900 resulting in the deaths of six students and a janitor, is rumored to be haunted. Students today report hearing voices, organ music, and footsteps. The psychic researchers spent seven hours inside the building, using infrared photography and tape recorders. They concluded that "psychic activity was definitely rampant there," reporting sightings of a young female face, moaning sounds, singing, and a male figure. One researcher described a vision of fire engulfing the building. Odd sensations, rappings, and sounds of running feet were also reported. Pets brought to the building for a pet show acted strangely, though they were normal outside.
