Articles and Content

"The Vortices of Space" by COLUMBA

This article presents a theory on the formation of planets, describing them as originating from comet-shaped masses of gases whirled by the Solar System's center. As these revolutions slow, the mass forms a whirlpool, concentrating diffused matter particles and heat. The process continues as the planet cools, forming seas and developing magnetic poles that influence aurora borealis. The author posits that the ultimate purpose of this cosmic process is the spiritual evolution of humanity towards higher capacities through contact with "Cosmic Powers" and virtuous living.

"SUBTERRANEAN SURVIVAL" by Dr. R. Bernard

Dr. Bernard discusses the potential threat of radioactive fallout from atomic explosions, citing a 50% increase in Strontium 90 concentration in the stratosphere. He suggests that seeking refuge in subterranean cities, accessed via tunnels, could be humanity's last hope for survival. He proposes developing methods for illumination and food growth in these underground environments, free from radioactive contamination. The article references Harold Wilkins' theory of ancient Atlantean tunnels built for protection from a nuclear war that caused a deluge and an axis shift. It also mentions a recent discovery of a subterranean city in Brazil, possibly built by Atlantean colonists.

EDITOR'S NOTE (Page 3)

The editor adds a note about Earth's axis shifts due to orbital disequilibrium and recommends a book titled "A Journey to the Earth's Interior, Or Have the Poles Really Been Discovered?" by M. B. Gardner. The editor also theorizes that superior scientists from outer space might have built subterranean cities to preserve human species during Ice Ages.

"POLARITIES" by Ye Editor

This piece explores concepts of polarity in the universe, drawing parallels between the formation of galaxies and solar systems and the dynamics of water in a sink. It suggests planets are hollow, doughnut-shaped globes with heavier particles on the inner side and lighter gases in the center. The sun is described as a "generator" of positive polarity, holding "condenser planets" of negative polarity in orbit. The editor questions the nature of the sun, suggesting its inner layer might be cooler than the outer corona, and discusses the Van Allen Belt as a hotter layer due to atmospheric screening of solar rays. The article touches on the idea of "fire" on Earth and references the "White Flame Phenomenon." It then delves into a theory of spiritual evolution, suggesting that humanity is evolving towards becoming "Gods" and "Goddesses," with the ultimate goal of becoming "SUPER-HUMAN" and exercising Divine Creator's powers through will-power and thought.

EDITOR'S NOTE (Page 4)

The editor's note discusses the sun's temperature and the concept of "fire" on Earth, referencing the "White Flame Phenomenon" from a previous issue. It also posits a theory about the Godhead forming Suns for Souls of godlike stature and drawing lesser souls to planets for evolutionary progression. The definition of "good" and "evil" is presented in terms of helping or hurting spiritual growth.

Excerpt from "THE ANALYST"

This excerpt discusses advanced scientific specialists analyzing sixth and seventh sense centers and organs, implying energetic forces beyond current scientific understanding. It suggests that by controlling atomic orbits, individuals can overcome limitations of matter, time, and space. The text posits that matter and energy are one, existing in different vibratory states. It introduces the concept of "UNITS of ONE" and the division of characteristics, comparing it to light splitting into colors through a prism. The article states that matter can be reduced to solids by decreasing vibration rates and that transmutation is a mental art. It concludes that "The ALL is MIND. All is in THE ALL, and THE ALL is in ALL."

EDITOR'S NOTE (Page 5)

This editor's note emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things, stating that what affects one affects all. It explains that spirit forms can pass through solid objects due to higher frequencies. It suggests that physics will eventually confirm metaphysical truths and questions why humanity is slow to credit such discoveries.

"THE CAMERON CONES" by Rev. V. L. Cameron

Reverend Cameron describes his discovery of strange forces emanating from convex metallic forms, which he terms "energy-accumulators." These cones exhibit negative and positive polarity, similar to magnets. A 22-inch metallic cone with a 90-degree angle could project a "force-beam" about half a mile. He experimented with bouncing this force-beam off mirrors between cones, amplifying the effect. The article references "Round Robin" magazine for further details.

EDITOR'S NOTE (Page 6)

This editor's note questions whether three balls under bell-shaped spaceships are energy accumulators and if the top of a UFO's central pole acts as a positive and negative magnet for phasing directions. It relates this to a "COSMIC ARTS SHRINE" described in a previous issue.

"THE TIME PARADOX" by G. Heard

G. Heard discusses the Michelson-Morley experiment and its implications for the concept of the ether. The experiment aimed to detect the Earth's motion through the ether by measuring the time difference of light beams traveling in different directions. However, the results showed that light beams always had equal transit times, regardless of the apparatus's orientation. This led to the conclusion that the speed of light is constant and independent of Earth's motion, contradicting the prevailing "common sense" understanding of how currents affect travel times.

EDITOR'S NOTE (Page 6)

This editor's note presents a new idea that the sun is cooler than previously thought. It suggests that lower altitudes are warmer than mountaintops because the heat of solar rays is generated by friction with air molecules, implying the atmosphere plays a role in this heating process.

"GODS IN THE MAKING" by A. K. Culverwell

A. K. Culverwell discusses the purpose of evolution as humanity growing into consciousness of its spiritual potential. He encourages aiming high while preparing for challenges. He suggests that as humans evolve, they become more humble and realize their divine nature, becoming "little gods" and "goddesses." The article defines "good" as that which helps spiritual growth and "evil" as that which hinders it. It outlines stages of human evolution from SUB-HUMAN to SUPER-HUMAN. The author believes that as individuals develop their highest capacities, they will attract greater opportunities and responsibilities, eventually becoming "God in human expression."

The article further describes a progression through "Planetary Schools" and eventually working with the "Solar Logoii" to become Planetary Guardians and Solar Logos of new suns.

"NEW AGE SCIENCE" (From Philadelphia "Evening Telegraph")

This section describes an 1890 demonstration by inventor Keely of a model airship weighing nine pounds. The airship's movement (rising, descending, or hovering) was controlled by a silver and platinum wire connected to a sympathetic transmitter. Experiments with metal spheres and musical notes (B flat) showed that specific tones could cause the spheres to rise or fall within a water-filled chamber, suggesting a connection between sound, vibration, and physical movement.

EDITOR'S NOTE (Page 8)

This editor's note relates Keely's experiments to the "three balls" observed under bell-shaped flying saucers, suggesting they might be energy accumulators. It also mentions that striking glasses filled with water can produce tones, and that a sufficiently strong sound can shatter glass, hinting at the power of vibration.

From "PROCEEDINGS" Magazine by G. Van Tassel

G. Van Tassel's article discusses research into negative polarity light, contra-polarity magnetism, and zero polarity balance, asserting that these natural forces do not require fuel. He claims that opposing magnetic polarities can produce more power than gasoline, and diamagnetic application of static electricity can build strong structures. Controlling the differential between magnetic poles allows for the manipulation of natural forces.

T-V INTERVIEW ON F.S. by Riley Crabb

Riley Crabb quotes Allingham, author of "A Flying Saucer From Mars," who in turn quotes French astronomer Charles Messier's 1877 diary entry describing observed objects as "large and swift, and they were like ships, yet like bells."

EDITOR'S NOTE (Page 8)

This editor's note mentions the U.S. Armed Forces building circular flying platforms propelled by air-jets, but points out that they still rely on conventional fuels, unlike the natural forces discussed earlier.

"GENUINE SPIRITUALITY" by Ye Editor

The editor discusses how life-forms evolve by adjusting to their environments and how spiritual planes interpenetrate the material world, though not always visible to the naked eye. He states that matter is a grosser condensation of spirit with a lower vibratory rate. The article suggests that humanity's understanding of "God" has evolved with its comprehension of spiritual realms. It emphasizes the importance of spiritual maturity, achieved through ethics and emulating advanced souls. The editor advocates for "LIGHT OF REASON" over "HEAT OF PASSION" for humanity's progress. The article concludes with the idea that desires and fears are relayed and returned, influencing outcomes, and that "IF WE DO OUR BEST, GOD WILL DO THE REST."

HEALTH HINT

A brief health tip suggests neck exercises to relieve tension and improve thinking.

"DIA NETICS" by L. Ron Hubbard

L. Ron Hubbard's article introduces Dianetics as an organized science of thought, claiming it reveals natural laws governing behavior and offers a therapeutic technique for treating mental and psychosomatic ills. It promises mental stability and complete cure in unselected cases. Dianetics is said to provide insight into the mind's potential, revealing that human purposes are fundamentally constructive. It highlights the effect of prenatal experience and suggests that "unconscious memories" are the source of aberrations. The article mentions "perceptics" as a new field of research and proposes a non-germ theory of disease. It concludes by suggesting Dianetics offers hope for humanity's continued evolution without self-destruction.

EDITOR'S NOTE (Page 10)

This editor's note praises the analysis of the mind in the Dianetics article and encourages readers to send for the booklet "Dianetics: The Evolution of a Science." It ends with a general statement about sages freeing humanity from negative emotions.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a worldview centered on spiritual evolution, the exploration of unseen forces, and alternative scientific theories. There is a strong emphasis on the potential for human advancement through spiritual understanding and the harnessing of natural or cosmic energies. The editorial stance is open to unconventional ideas, often presenting them as potential truths or areas for further research, while simultaneously advocating for ethical living and personal responsibility. The recurring theme is that of a "New Age" dawning, where humanity will transcend current limitations through spiritual and scientific enlightenment.

This issue, identified by page number 9, features articles on spiritual and metaphysical concepts, cosmic theories, and practical advice related to personal development and societal structures. The content appears to be from a publication focused on New Age and esoteric philosophies.

"The Garden of Allah"

The first article, "The Garden of Allah," introduces the concept of Allah as God or Universal Intelligence. It posits that nothing remains static, and everything either retrogresses or progresses according to the Will of a Great Hierarchy. The author encourages readers to move upward spiritually, mentally, physically, financially, and socially. The five known TATTVAS are presented as psychic equivalents to the five physical senses and also as representing the five departments of life: social, physical, mental, financial, and spiritual. The article explains that success in life depends on how well these departments are expanded and utilized, and how well one has meditated upon the five Tattvic centers. A five-pointed star is used to symbolize these departments, with the uppermost point representing the Spiritual, upper right the Mental, upper left the Physical, lower right the Social, and lower left the Financial. The article emphasizes that life's purpose is to fill out these departments evenly and symmetrically, avoiding over-development of any single point. True happiness and peace are unattainable with an over-developed or under-developed point.

An editor's note indicates that this article was found among papers and the author is unknown, with the editor seeking to identify them for proper recognition and apology for its use.

"When Earth Becomes a Sun" by C. Krebs

This article presents an astronomical theory suggesting that at the beginning of creation, all matter was concentrated in a single sun that exploded, forming galaxies. It proposes that when enough souls graduate to a central "Heaven," the accumulated spiritual power will cause Earth's crust to burst, releasing a glorious Light. This explosion will send Earth out of its orbit, and its crust will melt and reform into doughnut-shaped spheres, becoming new planets. These planets will be inhabited by physical creatures from surviving seeds or migrations, and ensouled by spirits who did not "make the grade" in their earthly "school," providing them with further training for higher dimensions. The article notes that each round of evolution involves fewer souls needing this process, leading to smaller solar systems. It concludes by stating that life is the same in all manifestations, and by developing specialized brain-cells, humans can understand the mysteries of creation.

Poetry Page

This section features two poems:

"My Prayer" by L. T. McAllister

This prayer expresses gratitude for life's trials, obstacles, loyal friends, and sorrows, recognizing them as opportunities for growth and learning. The speaker acknowledges that life is a school where suffering leads to growth and asks for God's will to be done.

"Magic Thoughts" by D. L. Schindler

This poem describes thoughts as entities with swift wings that travel and return. It advises the reader to be mindful of their thoughts, to always weigh and say things that are good, and to do their part in thinking correctly.

"Evolosophy Research Bulletin (2) (New Age Electro-Magnetics)" by F. J. Ryan

This bulletin discusses the concept of "internal communications" and the flow of force along specific lines, which can uplift the physical body and potentially levitate it. It suggests that visualizing and feeling this flow can improve meditation techniques. The author believes that sincere effort in using these techniques will be rewarded.

An editorial comment emphasizes the importance of self-reliance and learning to progress independently with Divine Help from within. It mentions that gradations in textural refinement, intensity, and speed of frequencies in force-fields (auras) have an affinity for various tissues and essences of the body.

A quotation from "Son of Perfection, Part II" by Prof. H. Hotema is included, stating that while science recognizes five sense powers, ancient Masters taught of seven, referring to this as a secret of the "Vital Battery" in Revelations.

"Money and Taxes" (Anonymous)

This piece argues that money's true basis is goods and services, and any other basis is artificial. It explains that excessive expansion of money supply leads to inflation, while contraction causes deflation. The author suggests that governments should issue money only to the extent that it can move goods and services produced, which would eliminate the need for debt and improve prosperity.

"Magicians from Mars" by COLUMBA

This is a comic strip depicting a science fiction scenario where characters are pumped through tubes into gas-bags within a spaceship. It shows volunteers shutting off gas-machines and entering tube-ends after disconnection, suggesting an extraterrestrial encounter or adventure.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around spiritual growth, cosmic evolution, the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, and the nature of reality. There is a strong emphasis on self-improvement, understanding universal laws, and a belief in a guiding hierarchy or divine intelligence. The editorial stance appears to be aligned with New Age and esoteric philosophies, encouraging readers to explore deeper spiritual and metaphysical concepts while also offering practical insights on personal development and societal issues like economics. The inclusion of poetry and a fictional comic strip suggests an aim to engage readers through diverse formats.
