A Message From The Past, An Answer For The Future (Jalandris)

The lead article, attributed to Jalandris, describes a past cataclysm that was swift and violent but not entirely unexpected for those who could discern the warning signs. For decades prior, the Earth experienced increasing earthquakes, tidal waves, storms, erratic weather, famines, floods, and deaths from radiation due to a disappearing magnetic field. Negative psychic energies from global anger and warfare exacerbated these disruptions. A significant omen was the build-up of ice near the poles, causing the Earth's axis to wobble and creating instability.

The cataclysm itself was triggered by a comet passing close to Earth, a rare planetary alignment exerting gravitational and magnetic pressures, and a global war. This resulted in a planetary reaction within 24 hours, causing the Earth's poles to shift, continents to convulse, mountains to rise, islands to sink, and oceans to displace. Ice caps melted, raising sea levels, and hurricane-force winds ravaged the planet, creating massive "graveyards" of debris. The aftermath saw the poles settle into a new configuration, quakes subside, and storms abate, but very little survived. The Earth's geography was transformed, climates reversed, flora and fauna became extinct, and the human race was nearly obliterated, leaving only scattered survivors.

Fortunately, some survivors, foreseeing the cataclysm, preserved special knowledge to stabilize the Earth. After the planet calmed, these "men of wisdom" surveyed the Earth, mapped its energy centers and lines, and organized survivors to build structures like pyramids and stone circles globally. Meditators and transmitters of psychic powers harmonized to energize the world system, linking with the heavens to receive solar magnetic winds. This revitalized the magnetic field, shielded against radiation, and created a high-altitude water vapor canopy that tempered weather, created a temperate climate, and reduced polar ice build-up.

The earth energy system also positively impacted human life, enhancing plant growth and enabling levitation and air travel. Humanity could communicate telepathically and live in harmony with natural cycles. This led to a state of harmonious existence and the realization that Earth, Cosmos, Life, and Mind are ONE. This period, remembered as the Golden Age, was an era of perfect bliss, plenty, tranquility, and transcendence, where many developed spiritually and left the physical dimension.

However, as more "Adepts" departed, jealousy, divisiveness, and aggression resurfaced. The global earth energy system, requiring global cooperation, became ineffective and was abandoned. The purpose of the energy system and structures was forgotten, leading to a decline in magnetism, dissipation of the water vapor canopy, increased storms, and the re-accumulation of ice caps. The Golden Age ended, and the means to prevent another cataclysm were lost.

The last major pole shift occurred around 10,000 B.C., destroying Atlantis and causing the extinction of mammoths. The Golden Age, when megalithic sites were built, ended about six thousand years ago. Current signs mirror the pre-cataclysmic conditions: rising earthquake activity, famine, a vanishing magnetic field, increased cancer deaths, and the threat of nuclear warfare. The planet's axis wobble, due to ice cap build-up, indicates a crisis point. Potential triggers for a new cataclysm include Halley's comet in 1986, a global war in the 1990s, or a planetary alignment on May 5, 2000, likely a combination of these.

Despite the grim outlook, the article suggests that knowing this history allows for a change in course. The ancient system, designed to prevent cataclysms, existed and operated successfully for millennia, failing only because human operators forgot their purpose and brotherhood. The question is whether this ancient system can be revitalized today. The knowledge is preserved in myth and ancient sciences. All that is needed is awareness, will, and effort to restabilize the Earth. The author emphasizes that humanity must put aside differences and work as one mind, as few survivors were able to build the system before. The potential exists to recreate the Golden Age.

A Letter to Readers (Jalandris)

This section introduces EARTH ENERGY as a unique publication dedicated to exploring mysteries such as ley lines, megalithic monuments, dowsing, pyramids, bio-energy, ancient magic, geomancy, and prehistoric psychic phenomena. The editor invites readers to share their thoughts, comments, and insights, which may be reprinted. The publication is sent free of charge, with donations appreciated to cover costs. Reports will be sent bi-weekly or monthly. Editors of other publications are welcome to reprint materials with proper credit.

The editor expresses anticipation for feedback and the opening of communication lines, envisioning readers as "Earth Energy Researchers" exploring the past and building the future Golden Age.

Psychic Civilization -- Past and Future

This section delves into the nature of ancient civilizations and human potential.

Prehistoric Drawings and Dolphin Intelligence

Referencing the prehistoric drawings of Lascaux, the text suggests a mysterious understanding between humans and other creatures, beyond analytical capacity. It highlights research on cetaceans (dolphins, porpoises, whales), noting their larger brain cortex and advanced association areas. Dolphins possess sophisticated sonar/vocalization emitters capable of projecting three-dimensional sonar representations. They vocalize among themselves and can adapt their speech to human hearing ranges. The text contrasts this with human utilization of less than 10% of their brain potential, questioning what increased powers humans might possess if the other 90% were unlocked.

The Loss of Ancient Knowledge and Eidetic Memory

Evidence suggests that ancient mankind possessed powers of perception and communication similar to dolphins but lost them over generations. Writing, often considered a great invention, is presented as a step backward by Plato, encouraging forgetfulness and the appearance of wisdom rather than true wisdom. Ancient peoples, it is argued, did not need writing because they possessed eidetic memory—total recall. As mankind degenerated, this ability was lost, necessitating methods like writing to aid memory.

Prehistoric Myth and Memory Systems

William Thompson's work suggests prehistoric myth indicates the end of an older system of thought, not an early developmental stage. De Santillana and von Deschend's research on myth indicates ancient literature aimed to preserve half-forgotten knowledge. They observed a gap between modern analytical terms and the mythic system, which was based on memory, not structured systems. The structure of myth comes from a time when there were no systems in our sense, and searching for one is unfair.

Ancient Memory Systems and Pygmy Intuition

Studying modern primitive peoples, who lack writing, offers insight into ancient memory systems. Anthropologist Patrick Putnam observed that African Pygmies, who do not count beyond three, lack an elaborate system. However, Jean-Pierre Hallet found they possess an intuition of quantity, able to comprehend mass at a glance. Hallet noted their quick grasp of written numbers and mathematical calculation compared to neighboring peoples educated through book-learning.

Paleolithic Cave Art and Nature Connection

Much lost wisdom involved Nature, with which prehistoric man had intimate contact. Paleolithic cave paintings are believed to have had meaning and purpose. Andre Leroi-Gourhan's statistical analysis of European cave art revealed patterns in the placement of animal depictions (bison, bovidae, horses) and sex signs (female signs predominantly in center chambers). This suggests a complex order and arrangement, analogous to a Catholic cathedral, pointing to a sophisticated religious or philosophical worldview.

Psychic Powers and Neanderthals

Prehistorian Philip Stern suggested ancient peoples were closer to the natural world and possessed powers beyond our current ken, akin to a dog's sense of smell or a bat's echolocation. Dr. Paul S. Martin proposed that the senses of Neanderthals were sharpened, suggesting they might have possessed tremendous psychic power and acute awareness, providing a selective advantage. This awareness could include knowing the location of animals, tribes, and enemies, and understanding the ground beneath them.

The Parable of the Five Senses

A parable illustrates how individuals with psychic abilities, who perceive beyond ordinary senses, may be misunderstood by those with limited perceptions. The story suggests that society, like the island people in the parable, often ridicules or ignores those who describe phenomena beyond conventional understanding.

Physical vs. Psychic Civilizations

The text distinguishes between two types of civilizations: physical and psychic. Physical civilizations are based on outward, artificial characteristics like empirical intelligence, physical strength, the wheel, writing, metallurgy, urban dwelling, and large-scale agriculture. Examples include dynastic Egypt, Sumer, and post-Shang China.

Psychic civilizations, less studied by archaeologists because their remains are not purely material, are based on inner, natural characteristics: psychic and supermental powers, and psi-electrical forces. Examples include the Paleolithic civilization, Megalithic culture, pre-Shang China, pre-classic Mexico, pre-Inca Peru, and the lost cultures of Atlantis and Lemuria. These civilizations lacked artifacts of physical civilizations but utilized psychic and earth energies for transport, eidetic memory instead of writing, natural energies instead of metals, telepathic communication, and lived in harmony with nature, reducing the need for agriculture and animal domestication.

Super-structures and Psychic Legacy

The material mark left by psychic civilizations were super-structures of large block construction, incorporating mathematical knowledge and used as astronomical/geodetic instruments. These monuments, such as Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid, and Baalbek, are seen as the product of a single, world-wide psychic civilization, not separate ones. The chronological evidence suggests psychic civilizations are far older than physical ones, indicating that humanity once possessed superior mental capabilities that have since degenerated.

The Return of Psychic Abilities

However, the magazine notes a contemporary revival of psychic abilities, suggesting a new age is dawning where materialist limitations will give way to broader applications of the mind. It posits that humanity, currently a physical civilization, will, as the spirit of the Ancients returns, rise again to the heights of a truly psychic civilization, heralding a new Renaissance.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the cyclical nature of history, the existence of past advanced civilizations (particularly the "Golden Age" and "Psychic Civilizations"), the potential for human consciousness and psychic abilities, and the looming threat of another global cataclysm. The editorial stance, as expressed by Jalandris, is one of urgent warning about present dangers, coupled with a hopeful message that humanity can avert disaster by rediscovering and reactivating ancient knowledge and energies, thereby ushering in a new era of spiritual and conscious evolution. The publication positions itself as a vehicle for this rediscovery and a platform for like-minded "Earth Energy Researchers."
