Key Articles and Discussions

"I - Du plus grand nombre premier vers la Conscience en passant par les Ovnis"

This section initiates a multi-participant discussion, starting with Gilles Lorant informing Jean Claude about the University of Central Missouri's shared computing project to find large prime numbers, specifically mentioning Curtis Cooper and the record set by the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search. Jean Claude confirms the primality of the exponent and ponders laws relating to prime number generation. The conversation then pivots to the nature of consciousness and its relation to UFOs, with Gilles Lorant suggesting that everything resides in the fine nature of reality and perception, posing the question of how to approach this concept.

Gilles Lorant further explores the idea of a law linking exponents to prime numbers, noting that physics doesn't typically engage with such abstract mathematical concepts. He humorously mentions inscribing a large prime number on an clay tablet, contrasting its longevity with digital storage. He also discusses his personal computer issues and his slow progress reading the book "Ovnis et Conscience."

Philippe Solal responds to Gilles Lorant's critique of "Ovnis et Conscience," acknowledging that the book doesn't claim to hold the ultimate truth but emphasizes the overlooked importance of "consciousness" in UFO research. He shares a Facebook post about the difficulty of proving phenomena involving interdimensional or transcendent aspects, suggesting the need for new validation procedures beyond traditional experimental methods.

Gilles Lorant expresses his appreciation for Philippe Solal's sincerity and his own research direction. He highlights the importance of the book "Ovnis et Conscience" for those curious about the phenomenon and stresses the need to present this "key to understanding" to a wider audience. He also discusses the contrast between classical, materialistic approaches and the need for a more integrated understanding, mentioning researchers like Pierre Letzkus and Marc Auburn.

Philippe Solal shares his personal journey from atheism to a profound spiritual understanding, influenced by his research into UFOs. He sees the UFO phenomenon as a gateway to understanding our place in the universe, the meaning of life, and our connection to the divine and the deceased. He views the unconscious as the "umbilical cord" connecting us to the invisible.

"II - J'y va t'y... j'y va t'y pas ? Si j'y va, qu'est-ce que ça m'fra ?"

This section focuses on out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and related phenomena. Vincent Leroux shares three YouTube videos by Marc Auburn on OBEs, covering possibilities, dangers, and encountered problems. Gilles Lorant expresses his intention to explore these videos, noting the author's desire for discretion. Pierig introduces the "Lucia" device, which stimulates the pineal gland to induce modified states of consciousness, leading to visions and potentially spiritual awakening. He provides a link to a related website.

Vincent Leroux thanks Pierig for the information on the Lucia device and inquires if he has tested it.

Discussions on Dolorès Cannon and Spirituality

Several participants, including Pierre Letzkus and Philippe Solal, discuss the work of hypnotherapist Dolorès Cannon. Pierre Letzkus summarizes her research, which involves deep trance hypnosis to access past lives and communicate with a "higher self" or "subconscious." He highlights her exploration of questions about our origins, purpose on Earth, consciousness, the soul, death, and potential interactions with other beings. Cannon's work, though extensive, is noted as being largely unavailable in French.

Philippe Solal expresses strong interest in Cannon's writings, finding her approach to spirituality compelling. He contrasts this with traditional scientific methods, which he feels have become too rigid over the centuries. He advocates for an "intersubjective" and communicable approach, rejecting "initiatory" paths that exclude objective knowledge. He emphasizes the importance of epistemology and the relationship between collective and individual history in understanding UFO manifestations.

He proposes articulating a metaphysics of the soul with a theory of the unconscious to avoid "psycho reductionism." He stresses the need for reflection on the modes of legitimation and validation of explanatory models for UFO phenomena.

Pierre Letzkus shares a document summarizing Dolorès Cannon's key works.

Epistemological Remarks

This section includes brief reflections on scientific skepticism and the nature of spirituality. The analogy of Galileo's telescope is used to illustrate how established paradigms can resist new evidence. Jung's separation from Freud due to his collective unconscious theory is mentioned. The difficulty of discussing spirituality in a world that often conflates it with religion is highlighted, as is the challenge of linking it to UFO phenomena.

Gilles Lorant agrees with the importance of reading Dolorès Cannon and Stan Grof, particularly for those interested in the spiritual aspects of these topics.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the profound connection between UFO phenomena and consciousness, the exploration of spirituality and metaphysics, and the search for new paradigms to understand reality. The editorial stance appears to be open-minded and investigative, encouraging dialogue and the sharing of diverse perspectives. There is a clear emphasis on moving beyond purely materialistic explanations and embracing the subjective and transcendent aspects of human experience in relation to the UFO mystery. The issue champions researchers who dare to explore unconventional ideas and push the boundaries of current knowledge.

Title: La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo
Issue Date: February 1, 2016
Volume: 11/25

This issue of "La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo" delves into a variety of topics related to the unexplained, personal paranormal experiences, and intriguing artifacts. It features reader contributions, witness accounts, and analytical discussions, reflecting a continued exploration of phenomena beyond conventional understanding.

Personal Experiences and Energetic Phenomena

The issue opens with several personal accounts related to energetic experiences and consciousness exploration.

@Pierig discusses plans to test a device called 'Lucia' with a practitioner named Marc, aiming to evaluate its impact on energy and spiritual levels. He mentions Marc's use of the 'Sound Table' from the IAC and anticipates receiving new equipment. Pierig offers to share his findings with interested parties.

@Vincent Leroux expresses interest in testing these devices and is willing to provide feedback.

@Cristel Seval shares an experience testing devices with Marc and his associate Pierre Emmanuel, who reportedly has a history of out-of-body experiences (SHC). Cristel rates the 'Sound Table' as a 3 out of 10 for pleasantness, noting energetic sensations. However, she highlights that 'Lucia' is not recommended for epileptics, and her own photosensitivity made it difficult to complete certain tests. Despite this, she reports that even a short exposure to the lamp activated her third eye and crown chakras for 48 hours, and also chakras in her palms, which she links to IAC's emphasis on their importance.

Cristel's companion reportedly experienced a 24-hour state of detachment, akin to being under the influence of a strong drug, attributing it to 'Lucia's' power in dynamizing energy centers. This effect is described as sufficient for some individuals to achieve out-of-body experiences or encounter entities and deceased individuals. Marc's goal is to combine technology and training to facilitate such experiences for a broader audience over short periods.

@Pierig confirms the existence of multiple energy centers and recalls an event at the "Salon des Mystères et de l'Inexpliqué 2" in Lyon, where Pierre Emmanuel helped people sense things remotely. Pierig, however, suggests that while these centers are important, others are equally significant.

Anonymous Contributor's Testimony: This lengthy personal account describes a complex inner world experienced within a seemingly small, challenging environment. The author reflects on the difficulty of conveying profound emotions and sensations, and how such experiences can offer comfort. The text touches upon the skepticism of scientists and intellectuals, who await solid proof, leaving many in a state of confused sentiment.

GC's Testimony: This contributor recounts a period of professional and personal crisis following his daughter's departure. He sought help from a master who provided spiritual and physical rehabilitation, including osteopathy and intense commando-style marches. This training led to improved physical and mental control, including the practice of auto-hypnosis and psychosomatic relaxation. He describes achieving feats of visualization, such as mentally rotating objects. He then details his attempts at achieving an out-of-body experience (SHC), inspired by a book on 'Psychosomatic Relaxation.' After initial failures, one evening, while practicing relaxation exercises, he experienced a sensation of floating and then flying, moving outside his body and observing his surroundings. He describes a struggle to return, feeling as if he were fighting against something preventing his return. Upon waking, he realized he had fallen from the sofa. His wife witnessed this event, and he states he has not attempted the experience since, questioning whether it was a dream or reality.

Another Testimony: This contributor recounts an experience they believe to be the opening of Kundalini energy. The experience occurred after reading Carlos Castaneda's "The Second Ring of Power." The author describes a sensation of tingling at the base of the trunk, which intensified and spread throughout the body, feeling more pleasurable than sexual. They felt something trying to exit their head in sync with their breathing, moving up their spine. Fear led them to stop the process by breaking the relaxation state. The experience prevented them from sleeping that night, as the sensations returned whenever they neared sleep. They have not fully replicated the experience but occasionally feel the tingling, confirming its presence. They mention discussing this with friends, one of whom, a pharmacist, had a similar experience after reading the same book and managed to leave their body. The author admits to being afraid of what lay on the other side.

UFO Sighting in Perrigny-sur-l'Ognon

III - A Strange Phenomenon in the Sky Over Perrigny-sur-l'Ognon

This section details a sighting reported by Jean Claude Venturini, referencing an article in "Le Lien Public." On Saturday evening, January 29, 2016, around 6:30 PM, witnesses Guy and Eliane Rondot observed a large, scintillating orange sphere, described as three times the size of an airplane. Guy noted that an airplane passed shortly after, confirming the size difference. The phenomenon repeated a few minutes later, with Eliane also witnessing a cylindrical orange object that glided silently without leaving a trace. Subsequently, three more spheres or balls appeared, exhibiting the same silence and form before disappearing towards the south. Two other witnesses in Seurre, 40 km away, reported seeing the same phenomenon.

Sophie Petitjean, an internet user, contacted the publication to report that she and her boyfriend had seen a similar object in the sky over Seurre, looking towards Chamblanc. She was driving and could not take photos.

Hypotheses and Rebuttals:

Some internet users suggested the Moon as a possible explanation, noting it was full and appeared larger and orange that evening. Lionel recounted his family seeing a "10 times larger than usual" orange Moon near Dijon.

Sophie strongly rejected the Moon theory, stating the object moved slowly and was not in the Moon's position. She also dismissed the idea of Thai lanterns, having seen them before and stating this object was much brighter.

A. Manceau addresses further testimonials, noting that some reader accounts might be misleading. He recounts an event where a group launched lanterns, which were mistaken for a fire, prompting a fire siren that hadn't been used in a long time. He questions how these lanterns could have traveled 40 km to Seurre with little wind and why the fire siren sounded.

A visual aid titled "Modèles de lanternes Clownesques Thaïlandaises" (Models of Clownish Thai Lanterns) is included.

@Gilles Lorant responds to a comment about "Pans" (likely referring to UFOs or unexplained phenomena), questioning their absence in Haute Saône despite a nearby military base. He references a town called Lure, near Luxeuil, and notes that the article's locations are not far from Lure.

Note (1): This note clarifies that the reference to "Sapeur Camembert" was a playful misdirection, and the actual local cheese is "Sapeur Cancoillotte," a local cheese from Clairegoute near Lure.

Curious Object: A Bronze Figurine

IV - Curious Object

@Gérard Deforge reports on an encounter with a retired individual who found a metallic figurine while digging in his garden years ago. The figurine is described as being absolutely non-oxidized and has unusual features: four fingers on each hand and four toes on each foot. Gérard has taken photos and plans to stay in touch with the individual, suggesting they calculate the metal's density and visit the Musée des Arts Premiers in Paris. He speculates that the statuette, which appears feminine, might represent a pregnant young woman.

@Jean Claude Venturini suggests sending the photos to the museum and inquiring if there are other "objects" in the garden.

@Gérard Deforge agrees to propose this.

@Pierig analyzes the photos, suggesting the figurines were made using the lost-wax casting technique. He provides a link to an article explaining the Gaulish lost-wax casting method, detailing how a wax model is covered in clay, fired to melt the wax, and then molten metal is poured into the mold. He explains that this method allows for only one casting per mold. The resulting object can then be refined. He also mentions that for larger objects, an inner clay core is used. The text notes that bronze was highly valued by the Gauls for making weapons, tools, and statuettes, and that it takes on a golden color when new. He also mentions tinning as a method to prevent oxidation.

Diagrams illustrate the lost-wax casting process, showing the mold, wax, internal core, and molten bronze.

Pierig notes that the figurine's feet show a joint line, suggesting they might be small toys. Regarding the four fingers, he believes the artist simplified the design due to the object's small size. He also suggests the figure resembles a female monkey (a guenon).

@Gérard Deforge asks for clarification on the metal used in the figurine.

@Pierig explains that it is typically a bronze alloy, one of the oldest, but other metals can also be used. He elaborates on bronze as an alloy of copper and tin, crucial for making effective weapons and tools, and its historical trade routes. He reiterates the two methods of bronze working: hammering and casting.

@Jérôme Gorritz describes the figurine as a superb representation of a humanoid, possibly non-human, or an ancient human from Earth, or even an extraterrestrial. He compares it to figurines from Acumbaro and considers the possibility of a modern fabrication less likely. He leans towards the hypotheses of an ancient human or extraterrestrial origin.

@Patrice Galacteros reports searching Google Images for similar artifacts but found only vague resemblances to African statuettes from Benin, Neolithic Sardinian artifacts, and ancient Indian (Harappa) statuettes. He concludes by saying he is stumped.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include personal accounts of paranormal and energetic experiences, particularly out-of-body experiences and the activation of energy centers. The publication also focuses on unexplained aerial phenomena, with a detailed report of a UFO sighting, and the investigation of anomalous artifacts, exemplified by the discussion surrounding the bronze figurine. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting witness testimonies and expert analyses without definitive conclusions, encouraging readers to study and reflect on the presented material. There is a clear interest in bridging the gap between subjective experiences and objective investigation, while also acknowledging the skepticism that often surrounds such topics.

Title: La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo
Issue Date: February 1, 2016
Volume: V
Issue Number: 21/25

This issue of "La Gazette des Mousquetaires de l'Ufo" features a multi-part discourse on "Time and Space," drawing heavily from the Urantia Book, alongside personal accounts and reflections on synchronicity and unexplained phenomena.

Discours sur le Temps et l'Espace (Discourse on Time and Space)

This section, presented as "V - Discours sur le Temps et l'Espace," explores the nature of time and space as conceptualized within the Urantia framework. It posits that time is the conscious perception of the flow of events, an arrangement that allows for recognition and separation. The universe of space is described as a phenomenon linked to time, with the Paradis and its Deities transcending both. For human beings, the connection to the physical realm is through the Father's spirit, enabling transcendence of temporal event sequences. As individuals progress spiritually, their perception of events shifts from a linear succession to a more coherent, circular simultaneity.

The text outlines seven different conceptions of space as conditioned by time, emphasizing that space is measured by time. It critiques the confusion of scholars who fail to recognize the reality of space, defining it not merely as a concept of connectivity but as something that the mind can partially transcend. Space is considered relatively finite for all creatures, with the concept approaching the ultimate as one approaches the seven cosmic dimensions. Ultimately, universal reality is in a state of expansion, and surviving mortals achieve identity in a seven-dimensional universe.

The concept of space-time for a material mind is seen as evolving with the individual's spiritual ascent. At intermediate levels between material and spiritual existence, ideas about space-time expand in quality and experience. This growth is attributed to increased clairvoyance and a broadened consciousness. As personalities move towards transcendental levels of resemblance with the Deity, their concept of space-time aligns more closely with the timeless and spaceless concepts of the Absolutes.

Matière, Pensée et Esprit (Matter, Thought, and Spirit)

This section delves into the fundamental realities of matter, mind, and spirit. It clarifies that while the material universe serves as the setting for spiritual activities, God is Spirit. The material universe is structured by cosmic gravity, originating from the Paradis. Physical energy is described as the only reality that consistently adheres to universal law. Spiritual reality, governed by spiritual gravity, is the domain of the Eternal Son.

The text introduces the Conjoint Actor as the universal minister for intelligent beings, reacting to both material and spiritual realities. The gift of intelligence and the ministry to the material and spiritual within the mind phenomenon are exclusive to the Conjoint Actor. The mind is presented as the technique through which spirit realities become experienced realities for created personalities, with the unifying possibilities of the human mind being supra-material.

Three functional levels of finite reality are described: 1. Matter, organized energy subject to linear gravity unless modified by movement and mind. 2. Mind, organized consciousness not fully subject to material gravity, becoming truly free when modified by spirit. 3. Spirit, the highest personal reality, not subject to material gravity and the motivating influence of evolving systems possessing personality.

The purpose of all personalities is identified as spirit. Material manifestations are relative, and cosmic mind mediates between these universal opposites. The gift of mind and the ministry of spirit are the work of the associated persons of Deity, the Infinite Spirit and the Eternal Son. The absolute of spirit and thing converge in the Universal Father.

In the evolutionary cosmos, matter energy dominates, except in the case of personality where spirit strives for mastery through the mediation of mind. Spirit is invariant and transcends mind and matter, which are experiential variables. Matter is described as a philosophical shadow projected by mind in the presence of divine spiritual illumination, but this does not invalidate the reality of matter energy. While mind, matter, and spirit are all real, they do not hold equal value for a personality seeking divinity. The consciousness of divinity is a progressive spiritual experience. The body, while real, does not survive death; mind (identity) and spirit do. The statement that matter is the shadow of more real spiritual substance holds philosophical significance.

Retrouvailles (Reunions)

This section contains personal anecdotes and accounts. Guy Coatanroch recounts re-reading an article by Joël Mesnard from May 2013 about an encounter by Mme Odette Leroy.

Mme Leroy reportedly witnessed two transparent spheres, described as tennis balls about 8 cm in diameter with smoky interiors, hovering near the ground. These spheres ascended diagonally in jerks, with one moving in a straight line and the other veering to the right. They then appeared to open like a "Babybel" or "Pac Man" before vanishing. The observation lasted only about three seconds, and there was no wind. Mme Leroy's husband was the primary witness, as she was alerted too late to see the phenomenon.

Joël Mesnard had apparently not mentioned this to Guy Coatanroch, despite knowing Mme Leroy. Coatanroch attempted to contact Mme Leroy for more information but was unsuccessful.

Following this, Coatanroch reflects on a case of synchronicity and guided coincidence. While practicing music, he thought of Edith Piaf and Marcel Cerdan, recalling the plane crash in the Azores where Cerdan and violinist Ginette Neveu died. He asked his wife if she remembered the tune played by Neveu, which was the theme for a sports program. His wife urged him to watch Antenne 2, where a program was discussing the tragedy involving Cerdan, Neveu, and Piaf, featuring the book "Constellation" by Adrien Bosc. The music that had been in his head was identified as "La vida breve" by Manuel de Falla.

Coatanroch questions whether this is a phenomenon of synchronicity or guided coincidence, noting that such occurrences happen to him and others, like Jean Claude Venturini, who is described as having "Onzémanie" (a fascination with the number 11).
