"The Tree of Life" by Paul Vigay

This article analyzes a crop formation that appeared near Barbury Castle, Wiltshire, in May 1997, which resembled the "Tree of Life" symbol. The author, Paul Vigay, used his "Thoth™™" computer software to overlay a geometrically perfect Tree of Life onto an aerial photograph of the formation. He notes that the geometry of the crop formation is incorrect when aligned with sacred geometry, suggesting the outer circles may have been moved to align with tramlines, potentially indicating a 'hoaxed' formation. However, Vigay finds the formation significant, suggesting that crop circle research has moved beyond the physical to a more spiritual plane. He discusses the Qabalah and its representation as the Tree of Life, a "map of the Universe" with ten Sephiroth, representing different aspects of existence and divine names. The article details the four worlds of the Tree of Life (Atziluth, Briah, Yetzirah, Assiah) and the significance of its twenty-two connecting paths. It also touches on the symbolism of the Tree of Life in relation to chakras, numerology, and life energy, and its connection to Eastern traditions that emphasize personal experience over theory.

The article further explores the Qabalah's philosophy of balance, harmony, and the realization that complex problems often have simple solutions. It emphasizes that each individual has a unique purpose and is a vital part of the cosmic jigsaw. The author believes the "Tree of Life" formation is significant not for its quality but for the lessons it teaches about the Tree of Life itself, which many may not have encountered before. It also serves as a reminder of the balance between scientific and spiritual, ego and ordinary, love and fear. The timing of the formation in 1997 is linked to the seven-year cycle since 1990, a period of significant energetic shifts and awareness changes.

"Occam's Beard" by Paul Vigay

This article, subtitled "How to Blunten his Rozor!", critiques the use of Occam's Razor by skeptics to dismiss paranormal phenomena. William of Ockham's principle, "Entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity," is explained. Vigay argues that skeptics use this to discount explanations like aliens or higher intelligence in favor of simpler, man-made explanations for crop circles. He points out two flaws in this application: it ignores the time or epoch when making cuts, and what seems complicated today might be simple tomorrow. He uses the analogy of explaining a television set in the Middle Ages to illustrate how a lack of understanding doesn't invalidate an explanation. Vigay suggests that dismissing complex phenomena like crop circles, with their intricate geometry and lack of caught hoaxers, is arrogant and subjective. He advocates for open-minded research, exploring all avenues without fear of ridicule.

"Spiritual Growth" (Multiple Articles)

This section comprises several interconnected articles by Paul Vigay exploring themes of consciousness, energy, and spirituality.

The Message of Crop Circles

Researching crop circles has led the author to explore UFO research, meditation, new mathematics, physics, and spiritual awakening. The author refers to this path as "From Science to Spirituality."

Pieces of the Jigsaw

The author believes that all unexplained phenomena are linked, forming a cosmic jigsaw puzzle.

Synchronistic Research

Many researchers have experienced coincidences or synchronicities, suggesting an underlying order.

Linking the Pieces

All unexplained subjects are believed to be interconnected, requiring arrangement to form a complete picture.

Harmonic Resonance

This theory posits that everything in the universe consists of harmonics that create resonance. The interaction of these waveforms shapes the universe. This is illustrated with the example of a violin string causing objects to vibrate. The theory is presented as simple yet capable of explaining complex phenomena, including life after death and crop circles, based on quantum physics and atomic interactions.

Spiritual Growth (Waveforms and Reality)

The author explains that waveforms combine to create a unique "signature harmonic" for each object. He proposes that by understanding and manipulating these waveforms, individuals can "create their own reality." This involves tuning frequencies to achieve a desired outcome, even canceling out unwanted waveforms.

Harmonic Healing

This concept suggests that by detecting the waveform of a disease (e.g., cancer) and generating a resonant harmonic, it could be canceled out.

Forgotten Knowledge

The author believes that humans can harness untapped potential (90% of the brain) through meditation and the power of the mind, a concept popularized by Rupert Sheldrake's "morphic resonance."

Electromagnetic Research Findings

Vigay has detected electromagnetic anomalies around crop formations, suggesting that genuine crop circles disrupt electromagnetic fields. These signals resonate with the crop's harmonic, causing stems to bend. This effect is often spiral or vortex-like, consistent with crop circle floor swirls.

Vortex Energies

These are described as multi-dimensional, creating ripples and resonances in spacetime around crop circle sites, going beyond atmospheric vortex theories.

Crop Circle Testing

Visiting crop circles leaves minute ripples of harmonics. Vigay notes that anomalous EM readings in crop circles generally return to normal after about eight weeks, suggesting the original signature is restored.

Positive Results

Specific formations like the 'treble Julia set' and the Koch curve exhibited anomalous EM readings, with the latter's report to appear in the next issue. Vigay believes crop circles appear near Earth energy points like ley lines or sacred sites.

The Keys to Consciousness

Five key aspects are identified: Harmonics (sound), Colour (light), Location (sacred sites), Time, and Frequency. The culmination of these creates the energy that shapes reality.

Remembering the Past

The author suggests that current knowledge about these concepts is not new but ancient knowledge being rediscovered globally, possibly through a "global consciousness" phenomenon.

Explaining 100 Monkeys

This principle describes how knowledge spreads rapidly once a critical number of individuals grasp it, akin to a collective consciousness.

Explaining ESP and Telepathy

Thoughts are described as brainwave forms that propagate and can interact with others, explaining ESP, psychokinesis, and telepathy.

Moving Matter by Sound (Cymatics)

Ernst Chladni's work on cymatics, demonstrating that sound can move matter, is discussed. Vigay speculates this may have been used to move large stones for ancient structures like Stonehenge and Avebury, citing an account of Tibetan monks levitating a stone slab.

The Next World

This section discusses frequencies beyond human senses and the scientific investigation of life after death by figures like Sir Oliver Lodge. It suggests that the soul resonates at a higher frequency after death, enabling communication with mediums.

Suppressing the Evidence

Orthodox science and the church historically suppressed research into these areas, but the author believes this knowledge is becoming more accessible.

Crop Circle Music

Vigay created a cassette tape of music derived from crop circle pictures and is investigating its potential to enhance meditational techniques.

Connecting with People

Interactions between people are explained through harmonic perspectives, where waveforms either align (phase) or conflict (out of phase), affecting relationships.

Ancient Knowledge

Ancient civilizations, like the Egyptians and Mayans, are believed to have understood and utilized harmonic resonances for their monuments and calendar systems.

The Future

This is presented as a preliminary article introducing Vigay's ongoing research into these interconnected topics, aiming to share findings in future issues.

"Laugh a minute with the USAF!"

This short piece humorously critiques the US Air Force's explanation of the 1947 Roswell UFO crash as a weather balloon. It highlights the absurdity of the official report released for the 50th anniversary, which attempts to explain alien body sightings by claiming the USAF was involved in testing "anthropomorphic dummies" in the 1950s. The author finds this explanation "absurd" and indicative of a cover-up.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the exploration of unexplained phenomena, particularly crop circles, and their potential spiritual and symbolic meanings. There is a strong emphasis on interconnectedness, with concepts like harmonic resonance, sacred geometry, and consciousness linking diverse subjects from crop circles and UFOs to personal spiritual growth and ancient knowledge. The magazine adopts an open-minded yet critical stance, encouraging personal experience and investigation while also dissecting skeptical arguments like Occam's Razor. The editorial stance is one of belief in genuine unexplained phenomena, advocating for a holistic approach that integrates science, spirituality, and personal discovery. The issue promotes the idea that understanding these phenomena can lead to a deeper understanding of oneself and the universe.

This issue of Enigma magazine, dated 1997, focuses heavily on the controversial HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) project and a comprehensive listing of 1997 UK crop circle formations. The magazine also touches upon broader themes of consciousness, unexplained phenomena, and the nature of research.

HAARP: Exposing the Real Agenda

The lead article by Paul Vigay, the magazine's editor, investigates the HAARP project, describing it as a US Department of Defense initiative for ionospheric research based in Gakona, Alaska. Vigay expresses concern that HAARP's true purpose is disguised and suppressed under a veil of secrecy, with implications that could be "literally Earth shattering." The project, initiated in the early 1990s, is noted to be potentially operational by 1998 or fully by 2002.

Vigay connects HAARP to the work of Nikola Tesla, suggesting that the US government is attempting to recreate Tesla's discoveries on a large scale for "rather sinister and dangerous" purposes. He questions the lack of major headlines or public concern from environmental activists.

The article highlights the confusion surrounding HAARP's purpose, suggesting the US military has deliberately "muddied the water" to obscure its true function. Officially, HAARP is described as a facility for upper atmosphere and solar-terrestrial research, using a phased radio array transmitter to "stimulate small, well-defined volumes of ionosphere" and measure atmospheric changes. However, the official documents become vague regarding transmission capabilities, leading to "science fiction like rumours."

The existence of the complex is confirmed, with photos provided. The origins are traced back to patents by Bernard J. Eastlund, an engineer working for APTI (a subsidiary of ARCO), who was initially hired to find uses for natural gas reserves. Eastlund's patents, twelve in total, reportedly included concepts for transmitting power without wires, achieving nuclear-sized explosions without radiation, and altering Earth's atmosphere. These patents were later acquired by E-Systems when they bought APTI, which had no net income and few assets, suggesting the patents were the primary acquisition target.

The article posits that HAARP could be a "multi-purpose system" with potential benefits like cheap power transmission or repairing the ozone hole. However, it argues that the potential dangers outweigh these benefits. It suggests HAARP could be responsible for creating the ozone hole, along with rocket fuel emissions from the space program. The author criticizes the government's focus on aerosol cans as the cause of ozone depletion, calling it an "exaggerated myth" to cover up their own activities.

Clare Zickuhr, founder of the "No HAARP" campaign, is quoted as saying, "The military is going to give the ionosphere a big kick and see what happens." Barbara Zickuhr likens the project to "boys playing with a sharp stick, finding a sleeping bear and poking it in the butt." The implications are global, with the potential for irreversible damage to the ionosphere, rendering it unable to protect Earth from solar radiation.

The article also touches on "Weather Modification," suggesting HAARP's technology can change atmospheric molecular composition, increase ozone and nitrogen, and break down chemicals like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to diminish the Greenhouse Effect. However, the overriding concern is the "mist and secrecy" surrounding the project, indicating the government is hiding the "real agenda."

"Stranger than Fiction" explores the possibility of mind control techniques using ELF frequencies to modify behavior patterns. The author suggests that HAARP testing might have been responsible for the spontaneous explosion of TWA-800 over Long Island on July 17th, 1996, as destroying enemy planes and missiles was an original aim of Star Wars projects.

Vigay recommends the book "Angels Don't Play this HAARP" by Jeane Manning and Dr. Nick Begich for further information.

Editorial and Recurring Themes

The editorial section, written by Paul Vigay, reflects on the nature of research and consciousness. He argues against turning crop circle research into a dogmatic system akin to the "church of the middle ages," emphasizing that "there are no experts." Vigay discusses his intention to undertake a "harmonic resonance research project" to "piece together the various jigsaw pieces of the cosmic jigsaw" and advance consciousness.

He believes crop circles have served their purpose in making people communicate with themselves and others, and that individuals who have investigated the subject for years have likely "interpreted the message" and now desire "something more." He suggests that people no longer need to investigate crop circles themselves but rather "investigate ourselves," as the message is eternal and crucial for awakening consciousness.

Vigay invites readers to contact him with agreement or disagreement, stating he is not an expert but is sharing his views. He also promotes "Enigma" magazine's subscription details and a special offer for clubs and shops, as well as information about the "I.R.C.U.P. UFO Database."

The recurring themes in this issue are the potential dangers and secrecy surrounding advanced technological projects like HAARP, the historical and scientific legacy of Nikola Tesla, the unexplained phenomenon of crop circles, and the pursuit of higher consciousness and understanding of the universe. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, skepticism towards official explanations, and a belief in the importance of personal investigation and spiritual awakening.
