Magazine Overview

Title: EMF NYTT
Issue: NR II
Volume: II
Date: Autumn 1971
Publisher: Hälsans Förlag
Country: Sweden
Language: Swedish

This issue of EMF NYTT, dated Autumn 1971, is largely dedicated to a comprehensive book list from Hälsans Förlag, covering a wide range of topics including health, natural healing, alternative medicine, Theosophy, spirituality, and UFO phenomena. The magazine also includes organizational news and reports from members.

Editorial Content and Reports

The editorial section begins with a list of recipients for the newsletter, followed by a message titled 'Nytt från EMF'. The editors apologize for any errors in the current issue, stating that the priority was to publish on time before an upcoming meeting, rather than ensuring perfect spelling. They mention that metafysik circles will continue every Thursday, possibly with a new format for lessons.

Economically, the group has seen some improvement with membership fees received from ten individuals. They have paid for their postbox rental and plan to subscribe to 'Sökaren' and possibly 'Arcanum'.

The book club, however, is facing challenges. An earlier survey indicated interest, but few members have paid the required fee. The newsletter urges those interested to pay or withdraw their interest, with payments to be made to Eva Andersson.

A survey included in the previous issue regarding UFOs has received no responses. Readers interested in UFOs are asked to fill out their forms and submit them at the next meeting.

There is a deadline approaching for ordering books at reduced prices. Ordering more than ten books from Parthenon offers up to a 20% discount, while other publishers offer a 10% discount.

The issue also includes a report on a trip to Malmö by Hans Aarenstrup and Jerry Persson to visit Alve Holmqvist. They attended a meeting of Malmö's Interplanetariska Sällskap (MIS), which featured a presentation on UFOs. Representatives from UFO-Malmö and UFO-Tyringe were also present. The presentation included images of star clusters, discussions on extraterrestrial life, and paintings of UFOs and their occupants based on eyewitness descriptions. The report mentions a film screening of 'Forntidens gåtor' (Riddles of the Past) by Däniken, which was showing in Denmark and planned for Sweden. The group also visited the Brevcirkeln-Arcanum printing office.

The following day involved visiting antique shops in Malmö with limited success, and then viewing Alve's collection of foreign magazines and club materials. The UFO-Tyringe magazine 'KONTAKT' is noted for its different format, focusing on articles rather than club news.

There is a clear emphasis on self-improvement, natural living, and understanding the deeper aspects of life and the universe, as evidenced by the extensive book listings and the focus on authors like Martinus and Waerland.
