Reader Letters / Discussion

This section features a series of letters and responses, primarily between A. Anders and H.-J. Heyer, exploring personal paranormal experiences and their interpretation within broader theoretical frameworks.

1. Letter from A. Anders (Pseudonym):

The author, wishing to remain anonymous, shares several personal experiences that defy conventional explanation. These include:

• Three Black Figures: As a young child, the author recalls three humanoid figures, clad in black cloaks and hats, entering their room through the window. Despite their appearance, they seemed friendly and playful.
• Orange-Red Light - "Ding": Around age eight or nine, the author and their mother witnessed a bright, orange-red light filling the living room. They describe it as a round object that vanished quickly. A small newspaper article later mentioned a similar object seen over the North Sea.
• Three Gray Beings: After moving to the countryside at age ten, the author's mother reported seeing three small, gray beings standing by her bed, staring at her. She was not frightened and eventually fell asleep.

Anders expresses a desire to discuss these experiences with others but feels societal pressure to conceal them, leading to anxiety. They seek competent guidance to understand these events and overcome their fears.

Poltergeist (A. Anders):

As a teenager, the author experienced a cupboard detaching from the wall and moving towards them, only to stop and be pushed back by unseen forces. They describe being unable to move or call for help during the event.

Double Perception (A. Anders):

At 15, the author and a friend encountered an orange-red sphere, about 30 cm in size, hovering near the cellar door. The sphere seemed to react to the friend's fear. The author experienced a sensation of being a "bundle of energy" and levitating slightly, feeling a strange connection to the sphere.

Light Sphere (A. Anders):

At 18, the author woke up feeling an unusual sensation and saw a light-like entity. They describe a feeling of being a "bundle of energy" and levitating. This experience was accompanied by fear of unseen beings behind the door.

Yellowish-White Light (A. Anders):

Later in life, after moving out of their parents' home, the author witnessed a yellowish-white light through a skylight. The object changed color to pure white and shot upwards. The author's husband also saw it briefly.

Touched by Feet (A. Anders):

Another experience involved feeling a gentle stroking on their feet while in bed, which their husband denied doing.

The Mummy (A. Anders):

At 26, the author woke to see a mummy-like being that placed a bandaged hand on their forehead. The author felt paralyzed and unable to move or speak.

Hypnotic Gaze (A. Anders):

The author describes an encounter with a being dressed in black with a hood, possessing a triangular face and dark gray skin. The being's gaze was intense, with a red rectangular light in its right eye, inducing a trance-like state.

Tugging at the Duvet (A. Anders):

A recent experience involved feeling something tugging at the duvet.

H.-J. Heyer's Reply to A. Anders:

Heyer expresses gratitude for Anders' letter and trust. He proposes expanding their correspondence to contribute to UFO research. Heyer asks Anders to share more paranormal experiences, including poltergeist phenomena and invisible presences previously discussed.

Heyer introduces a new theoretical perspective, suggesting that conventional scientific models are insufficient to explain such experiences. He proposes a shift towards an "expanded worldview" and outlines the principles of the current scientific model before introducing a new one.

The "Old" Worldview: Heyer describes the conventional view of humans as material beings in a material universe governed by physical laws, with consciousness arising from brain processes. This view leaves no room for paranormal experiences.

The New Worldview: Heyer argues that our perception of reality is based on images created by our minds, not direct perception of an external reality. He uses the example of seeing a cup to illustrate that what we perceive is a mental construct. He posits that the material world, including our own bodies and brains, are mental constructs or "images" created by the mind or spirit. The universe, including space, time, and matter, is a creation of the individual's mind. There is no objective "out there"; it is all self-created.

Heyer explains that the mind creates images itself, creating the physical body and brain, and also the material environment. He suggests that dreams are a manifestation of this process. The ego, with its rigid structures, prevents us from realizing this, as it seeks to stabilize rather than change itself. However, certain individuals, like Anders, possess "second attention" rules that allow them to perceive beings from other realms.

Travelers: Heyer suggests that beings from other dimensions are aware of Anders due to their ability to access these "second attention" rules. These beings seek to learn the rules of our material universe to visit it. Anders, as a "traveler," can learn from these beings and potentially visit their universes, gaining control over space and time and achieving great freedom.

The Sorcerer: Heyer explains that by consciously altering their mental structures and rules of perception, individuals can subtly change their reality, becoming "sorcerers" who influence the world, unlike scientists who merely study it.

Carlos Castaneda: Heyer recommends Castaneda's works as further reading on these topics, including "The Teachings of Don Juan" and "The Art of Dreaming," and suggests secondary literature on Castaneda.

2. Letter from A. Anders:

Anders expresses gratitude for Heyer's response and acknowledges understanding his perspective. They mention that their dreams have already shown them visions of other worlds, which were impressive but not disturbing. Anders states they have begun reading "The Teachings of Don Juan" and are determined to overcome their fear of their experiences not fitting into the conventional worldview.

H.-J. Heyer's Reply to A. Anders:

Heyer reiterates his thanks and proposes a collaborative approach to UFO research. He asks Anders to write down and send more of their paranormal experiences.

The Ghost Hedgehog: Heyer recounts an experience from October 3rd where he woke up around 4:30 AM and saw a hedgehog-like entity at the foot of his bed. He immediately recognized it as not a real hedgehog but a projection or apparition, similar to UFO sightings or descriptions in Castaneda's books. He describes the entity as medium-sized, breathing audibly, and visibly pressing down the duvet as it walked over his legs, confirming its apparent physical presence.

Other Sections

Poltergeist (H.-J. Heyer):

Heyer suggests that poltergeist phenomena, like the moving cupboard described by Anders, are caused by the mind influencing the material world. He proposes that Anders could try to empathize with the "mind" of these entities to receive images from their world. He reassures Anders that if they experience a sudden shift to another reality, they will eventually return to their familiar structures and should not fear it.

Other Reality (H.-J. Heyer):

Heyer interprets Anders' experience of wiggling their lower abdomen as a way of holding onto the "foreign perspective." He suggests that Anders can train this ability and use these feelings as "keys" to travel to other "secret rooms" or realities. He notes that the focus on the lower abdomen relates to how these "rules of perception" are formed.

Regarding the "mother-like" sphere, Heyer explains that every human is a "spirit being of pure light" as perceived by these entities. The friend's fear stemmed from not being ready for this level of awareness. Heyer concludes by stating that understanding these letters will help Anders interpret future supernatural experiences and derive benefit from them, offering further assistance.

The Ghost Hedgehog (H.-J. Heyer):

This section details Heyer's personal experience of seeing a hedgehog-like entity in his room. He interprets it as a manifestation of an entity from another realm, possibly related to his recent reading of Fiebag's "Sternentore" and contemplating the nature of material manifestations of UFOs. He notes the entity's apparent physical weight and audibility, suggesting it was more than just a visual illusion.

DEGUFORUM, Issue 12, December 1996, is a German-language publication focused on ufology, paranormal phenomena, and alternative perspectives on reality. This issue is characterized by a robust exchange of letters and responses between readers and the editor, H.-J. Heyer, delving into complex philosophical and experiential topics.

Reader Letters and Discussions

Personal Experiences and Theories

The issue features several reader letters detailing personal encounters and interpretations of unusual phenomena. One reader recounts an experience with a materialized hedgehog that vanished when a light was turned on, leading to a discussion about Castaneda's theories on 'dream bodies' and 'second attention'. This reader grapples with the concept of reality and how different 'attentional sets' might shape perception.

Another reader shares a dream about their cat giving birth in an unusual location, which later proved to be accurate, highlighting the predictive nature of dreams. Further experiences include dreams of being on alien planets, guided by an unknown entity, and witnessing celestial events.

Poltergeist activity is described, including unexplained noises and the movement of objects, such as a record player. The reader questions the scientific explanation for such events and suggests they are manifestations of a mind seeking to express itself.

'Shadow beings' are a recurring theme, with one reader describing encounters with dark entities, one of which appeared at their bedside. Another reader's aunt reported seeing similar 'shadow beings' before significant deaths.

Editor's Responses and Philosophical Stance

Editor H.-J. Heyer engages directly with the readers' experiences, often challenging their reliance on conventional scientific frameworks. He argues that 'cultural laws' and societal conditioning, rather than natural laws, limit human potential and understanding. Heyer posits that our perception of reality is subjective and constructed through 'interpretation', and that the 'empirical self' (EGO) fears change and the unknown.

He critiques the reader's adherence to empirical science, stating that it has not advanced the study of UFOs in decades. Heyer suggests that the 'virtual' nature of phenomena, as seen in magic tricks or even UFO reports, is often mistaken for reality. He advocates for embracing intuition and personal experience, even if it contradicts established norms.

Regarding time travel, Heyer dismisses the notion of physical journeys through space and time as understood by classical physics, suggesting that 'future humans' might interact with the present through means beyond our current comprehension. He emphasizes that our understanding of reality is limited by our 'cultural laws' and the consensus reality imposed by society.

Specific Topics Discussed

• Materialization and Dream Bodies: The reader's experience with the hedgehog leads to a discussion of Castaneda's concepts of the 'dream body' and how intention can manifest physical forms.
• Dreams and Prophecy: The accuracy of dreams in predicting future events, such as the cat's birth, is highlighted, questioning the dismissal of dreams as mere 'foam'.
• Poltergeists and Unexplained Phenomena: The poltergeist incident prompts a discussion on the nature of consciousness and its potential to influence the physical world.
• Shadow Beings and Entities: The recurring theme of 'shadow beings' is explored, with Heyer suggesting they might be manifestations of the subconscious or entities from other realities.
• Nature vs. Cultural Laws: Heyer argues that 'cultural laws' (societal norms and beliefs) are more restrictive than natural laws, hindering human potential and the understanding of phenomena like UFOs.
• Subjectivity of Reality: The editor repeatedly emphasizes that reality is not objective but is constructed through individual and collective interpretation.
• Time Travel Paradoxes: The debate touches upon the possibility of time travel, with Heyer suggesting that conventional physics' limitations do not apply to potential future interactions.
• UFOs and Mass Media: Reader Harald Görres criticizes the role of mass media in creating confusion around UFO phenomena, urging readers to rely on personal investigation and intuition.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the limitations of empirical science, the power of subjective experience and consciousness, and the questioning of established societal norms and beliefs. The editorial stance, primarily articulated by H.-J. Heyer, is one of challenging the status quo, encouraging readers to look beyond conventional explanations, and to trust their own perceptions and intuitions, even when they contradict mainstream scientific or societal consensus. The magazine positions itself as a platform for exploring the 'unknown reality' and the 'unexplainable'.

DEGUFORUM, Issue 12, December 1996, is a German-language magazine focused on fringe science, UFO phenomena, consciousness, and alternative theories. This issue features a lively exchange between correspondents HE and Gö, book reviews, and reader contributions that challenge conventional scientific and philosophical paradigms.

Correspondence: HE and Gö

The core of this issue is a debate between HE and Gö, exploring fundamental questions about reality, consciousness, and the limitations of scientific understanding. HE challenges the prevailing evolution theory, arguing that it fails to account for the full spectrum of human experience and consciousness. He posits that consciousness is a singularity that creates space and time, and that the universe is a manifestation of this consciousness. HE criticizes the materialistic worldview, suggesting that it prevents a deeper understanding of reality and that true knowledge comes from expanding one's own consciousness and correcting one's personal belief systems.

Gö, while acknowledging the influence of upbringing on worldviews, remains more grounded in empirical observation. He questions HE's assertions about consciousness and time, particularly his hypothetical scenario of flying into a black hole, which HE uses to illustrate his theories on time perception. Gö also expresses skepticism about direct alien contact, suggesting that many claims are misinterpretations or fabrications. He emphasizes the importance of scientific verification and expresses concern over the uncritical acceptance of paranormal claims.

Key Themes and Discussions

Time and Consciousness: HE elaborates on his concept of time, distinguishing between physical time and a deeper, unknown temporal dimension. He uses the black hole scenario to illustrate how time perception can be altered, suggesting that consciousness itself shapes our experience of reality. He argues that consciousness is a fundamental, un-split singularity that creates space and time, and that the universe is a projection of this consciousness. This leads to the idea that all existence is interconnected and that individual consciousness is part of a larger whole.

Critique of Evolution Theory: HE and Gö engage in a discussion about the limitations of the evolution theory. HE suggests that it is a narrow perspective that doesn't encompass the full scope of consciousness and spiritual development. He implies that evolution, as commonly understood, is a process that can be manipulated or misunderstood by those seeking to maintain control.

The Nature of Reality: The correspondents debate whether reality is objective or subjective. HE strongly advocates for a subjective reality, where our perception is shaped by our internal consciousness and belief systems. He argues that science itself is a construct, a way of creating a reality that fits within its own limitations, rather than discovering an objective truth. Gö, while acknowledging the role of upbringing in shaping worldviews, seems to lean towards a more objective reality that science attempts to describe.

Alien Contact and UFOs: The magazine features several book reviews and discussions related to UFOs and alien encounters. The idea of alien visitation is explored, with skepticism from Gö and a more open, albeit critical, approach from the reviewers and HE. The concept of 'mimicry' in alien encounters is introduced, suggesting that these experiences might be shaped by human expectations and consciousness.

Book Reviews

"Sternentore" by Johannes Fiebag: This review discusses Fiebag's book, which presents his 'Mimicry Theory' to explain UFO and alien encounter reports. The theory suggests that these experiences are integrated into human consciousness in a way that adapts to the observer's existing worldview. The reviewer finds Fiebag's work to be a significant contribution to understanding the UFO phenomenon, highlighting its focus on the psychological and experiential aspects of encounters.

"Roswell - First Contacts with a Hyper-civilization" by Rene Coudris: This review is highly critical of Coudris' book, which presents channeled material about the Roswell incident and alien civilizations. The reviewer, while acknowledging the author's attempt to present new information, dismisses the channeled content as unscientific, filled with contradictions, and lacking in genuine understanding of scientific principles. The reviewer questions the publisher's decision to release such material, labeling it as 'sheer nonsense' and a 'scam'.

"WISSENSCHAFT OHNE GRENZEN" (Science Without Borders) Magazine: A brief mention is made of this magazine, which covers topics like Paleo-SETI, UFO research, myths, alternative medicine, and archaeology. It is presented as a publication that explores grenzwissenschaftliche (fringe science) phenomena.

"IT'S A HOAX!" Magazine: This satirical magazine is advertised as a source of humor, satire, and comics related to fringe science and other topics.

Reader Letters and Discussions

Several reader letters and discussions are included, expanding on the themes of consciousness, time, and the limitations of scientific paradigms. One correspondent discusses the concept of 'intensity' as described by Castaneda, relating it to the difficulty of recalling extraordinary experiences. Another letter delves into the idea that our perception of reality is a construct of our own minds, using a hypothetical scenario of a surgeon misconnecting sensory organs to illustrate how subjective experience can differ from objective reality.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

DEGUFORUM consistently challenges established scientific and societal norms. The magazine promotes critical thinking, encourages readers to question conventional wisdom, and explores topics often dismissed by mainstream science. There is a strong emphasis on consciousness as a fundamental aspect of reality and a belief that understanding these phenomena requires looking beyond purely materialistic explanations. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into the paranormal and unexplained, while maintaining a critical eye towards unsubstantiated claims, particularly those presented as scientific fact without rigorous evidence. The magazine seems to advocate for a more holistic and integrated understanding of reality, one that encompasses both the scientific and the experiential, the known and the unknown.

Title: DEGUFORUM
Issue Date: December 1996
Publisher: DEGUFO e. V. (German Society for UFO Research)
Language: German
ISSN: 0946-1531

This issue of DEGUFORUM features a cover story titled "Hypothesis: With the Rainbow, the Image on the Retina is the Object Itself," exploring a complex theory linking UFO phenomena to consciousness and quantum physics. It also includes a press review on the discovery of potential water ice on the Moon by the Clementine mission.

Article: Hypothesis on UFO Phenomena

The issue delves into a profound hypothesis concerning UFO sightings, suggesting a fundamental connection between these phenomena and human consciousness. The author, H.-J. Heyer, begins by referencing a book that discusses a Roswell-related medium, questioning the authenticity of the information provided and suggesting it might be inspired rather than factual.

The Libyan Sighting Case

The article then focuses on a sighting case presented in DEGUFORUM Nr. 11, which occurred in Libya. The author notes that UFO research in recent years has increasingly recognized an essential connection between UFO phenomena and consciousness. Encounters with phenomena often attributed to 'extraterrestrials' are described as deeply personal spiritual experiences, often accompanied by strong emotions. The interpretation of these experiences is shaped by the observer's existing knowledge and worldview, making the observer an active participant in shaping the perceived image.

The Rainbow Analogy

Reinhard Nühlen's presentation of the Libyan case sparked a detailed hypothesis in the author's mind. The characteristic of the phenomenon is compared to a rainbow, which lacks an objectively determinable size. Drawing on Descartes' explanation of rainbows, the author explains how light refracts and disperses through water droplets, creating distinct color bands at specific angles. The subjective experience of color is determined by the angle at which sunlight enters the observer's eye. This subjective aspect is conceptualized through the angle of incidence.

Holography and Dimensionality

The concept of holography is introduced as a related principle. In holography, a laser beam is split, and one part illuminates an object while the other interferes with the reflected light on a film, creating an interference pattern that contains information about the entire object. When this pattern is illuminated, a three-dimensional image of the object is reconstructed. The author emphasizes that this process, like the rainbow, involves subjective elements related to the observer's perspective (angle).

The Four-Dimensional Hypothesis

The core of the hypothesis extends this concept to a four-dimensional understanding of reality. The author proposes that what we perceive as an object is actually an image projected onto the four-dimensional plane of our experience, or a projection into spacetime, contrasting it with holography's projection within spacetime. This means that an object's description requires not just spatial coordinates (where) but also temporal coordinates (when) for every point within the object.

Quantum Physics and Reality

Quantum physics is invoked to explain how physical reality is constructed. Objects are described as accumulations of particle waves governed by quantum laws. These objects are essentially three-dimensional images created by electromagnetic and nuclear processes. The uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics is highlighted: conjugate variables like position and momentum, or time and energy, cannot be precisely determined simultaneously. This inherent uncertainty is seen as the gateway to understanding space and time relativistically.

Spacetime Deformation and Singularities

The hypothesis posits that the perceived extent of space is rooted in the uncertainty of an object's location, and time's duration is rooted in the uncertainty of a specific moment. This implies that all physically manifest objects belong to a space described by the theory of relativity. The author suggests that the characteristics of the desert phenomenon point to an object of higher-dimensional complexity that deforms the fabric of spacetime. This deformation, when projected into our perceived reality, creates the observed shape. The author proposes that the object responsible for such a strong distortion of four-dimensional spacetime is a singularity, akin to a black hole.

The 'Warp Shell' Concept

The article elaborates on the concept of a 'warp shell' surrounding a singularity. This shell is described as a region of highly curved spacetime. The observed phenomenon, such as the 'desert phenomenon,' is interpreted as the projection of this four-dimensional spacetime distance onto the perceivable three-dimensional space. The subjective size of the perceived object depends on the observer's proximity to the singularity. This effect is explained by the temporal curvature near the singularity, which can cause apparent acceleration without actual spatial movement, potentially leading to strong electromagnetic fields.

Possible Origins and Nature

The author speculates on the origin of such an object, considering it could be a natural phenomenon, possibly a mini-black hole, or even something artificial, like a time machine from another dimension. However, the prevailing impression is that it is a natural, albeit unusual, phenomenon. The article concludes by stating that while the existence of such an object is theoretically possible, its origin and nature remain speculative, with possibilities ranging from cometary ice deposits to artificial constructs.

Press Review: Water on the Moon?

This section reports on the "Clementine" mission, which used radar to detect what scientists believe might be water ice on the Moon's South Pole. The discovery, announced by the US Department of Defense, suggests an ice surface of about 150 square kilometers in the Aitken Basin.

Clementine Mission Details

The "Clementine" satellite, a joint project between the BMD (successor to SDI) and NASA, was launched in January 1995 at a relatively low cost of $75 million. Its mission was to map the lunar surface, particularly the far side and polar regions. The satellite was equipped with advanced sensors, including a laser altimeter and a radar imager.

Aitken Basin Findings

Scientists were particularly surprised by findings in the Aitken Basin, a large impact crater. The laser measurements revealed a significant topographical relief, with crater rims up to 12 km higher than the floor. This relief is attributed to the basin not being filled with lava, unlike other large ring structures on the Moon's near side. The basin's location near the South Pole means it receives little direct sunlight, resulting in extremely low temperatures (around -230 degrees Celsius).

Radar Echoes and Interpretation

The most puzzling data came from radar echoes within the Aitken Basin. A contiguous area of about 150 square kilometers produced radar echoes that differed fundamentally from those reflected by other lunar surface features. After extensive discussion and comparison with radar echoes from Greenland and Antarctica, scientists concluded that this anomaly might indicate the presence of water ice.

Implications of Water Ice Discovery

If confirmed, this discovery would be a major scientific sensation, as it was previously believed that the Moon had been dry for billions of years. The origin of the potential water ice is speculative. One theory suggests it could be from comets that impacted the Moon in the early solar system, with the water sublimating into ice in the cold polar regions. Another possibility is that the ice is a remnant of the Moon's formation. The article notes that if the ice is indeed present, it might be located in the Earth's core today, a statement that seems to be a misunderstanding or misstatement in the translation/OCR, as the context is the Moon's core.

Poetry Section: "Schicksal" (Fate)

This section includes a poem titled "Schicksal" by H.-J. Heyer (1988), which speaks about embracing one's destiny, the importance of personal growth, and the danger of letting others control one's life. It encourages self-reliance and inner strength.

Editorial and Imprint

An editorial section wishes readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year for 1997. The imprint details the publisher (DEGUFO e.V.), editor-in-chief (Hans-Joachim Heyer), editorial staff, layout, production details, subscription prices (DM 30 for domestic annual subscription, DM 7.50 for single issues), and contact information, including an internet address and email.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the nature of reality, consciousness, and the interpretation of anomalous phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, exploring complex theoretical frameworks (quantum physics, relativity, holography) to understand UFO sightings and other unexplained events. There is a clear emphasis on subjective experience and its role in shaping perceived reality. The inclusion of the press review on lunar water ice suggests an interest in scientific discoveries that challenge existing paradigms, even if they are not directly related to UFOs. The magazine encourages critical thinking and theoretical exploration, as evidenced by the detailed hypothesis presented on the cover story.
