Articles

Who Will Read These Messages?

The lead article introduces Konstantin Borisovich Snitsary, an artist who claims to have received symbolic 'messages' since December 7, 1994. These symbols, initially seen with closed eyes, are now perceived in everyday objects. Snitsary, a graphic artist, translates these symbols into unique and philosophically rich works, which have been exhibited. The article notes that similar symbolic tables have been received by others, suggesting a common source or phenomenon. The author, I. Moiseenko, speculates that these symbols might represent letters of an unknown language, typically containing 25-35 signs without punctuation. He suggests that their creators might have had a less developed abstract mind and received information from a spiritual plane. The symbols often depict human figures, animals, and birds, some carrying emotional weight. Comparisons are drawn to Nazca lines, Mayan glyphs, petroglyphs from the Altai Mountains, and even depictions of beings from the planet 'Three Green Suns.' The article invites readers to research these symbols further.

The Second Life of Karen

This section presents a case study of reincarnation. It details the experience of Karen, a 20-year-old man from Rangoon, who suffered from physical deformities in his hands and legs. These deformities were not attributed to prenatal issues. Karen recalled a past life as the son of a wealthy man who was murdered by robbers. In his past life, he was tied up and left to die, experiencing intense pain and bleeding. His consciousness then transitioned, and he eventually reincarnated as a child of a woman he felt drawn to. The article emphasizes that Karen's family were Christians and did not believe in reincarnation, making his memories significant. A scientist's commentary suggests that the 'energy of thought' released at death can influence the formation of new life, transferring the 'character of past karma.' The author posits that evolution, giftedness, and talent progress over many lifetimes, citing child prodigies like Mozart as examples.

The Urantia Book

This installment continues the introduction to 'The Urantia Book,' a text purportedly dictated by cosmic entities. It explains the book's purpose: to describe the structure of the universe, the development of Earth (Urantia), and the origins of culture, science, and religion. The book is described as devoid of religiosity but grounded in the concept of God as a personality. The preface of the book is highlighted as a challenging but essential part, explaining the structure of a multi-dimensional world. The text outlines seven 'Absolutes' of reality: the First Source and Center, Second Source and Center, Third Source and Center, Paradise, the Divine Absolute, the Unqualified Absolute, and the Universal Absolute. It elaborates on God as the Universal Father and the First Source and Center, emphasizing his infinite and eternal nature. The concept of 'I AM' is presented as a philosophical concession to finite minds, representing the unorigentated cause. The article also touches upon the nature of reality, distinguishing between actual and potential, absolute and sub-absolute, existential and empirical, and personal and impersonal realities. Paradise is described as the static, central point of the universe, the origin of all physical universes.

UFO: An Attempt at a Scientific Approach

This article, by J. Allen Hynek, discusses UFO sightings and attempts to analyze them scientifically. It focuses on 'second kind' encounters, which involve physical traces. The author recounts a case in Van Horn, Iowa, where a glowing object was observed, leaving a circular flattened area in a soybean field. The vegetation appeared to have suffered from intense heat without direct contact. The object was described as cup-shaped with a warped bottom, rotating counter-clockwise, and having a dull grey-black color with a reddish-orange glow. Its size was estimated to be three to four times the visible diameter of the moon. Another incident from Falcon Lake, Ontario, Canada, is described, involving six witnesses who observed an egg-shaped object hovering over a lake. The object moved rapidly and horizontally, emitting white light that illuminated the treetops. Reports of radio interference were also noted. The article mentions that Canadian Ministry of Defense representatives investigated this incident, and their report described the object as egg-shaped with a dome-like top, lacking distinct lights but illuminating the surroundings.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the unexplained, with a focus on UFO phenomena, extraterrestrial encounters, and alternative theories of reality and consciousness, such as reincarnation and the concepts presented in 'The Urantia Book.' The editorial stance appears to be open to investigating and presenting these phenomena, often through witness accounts and attempts at analysis, while also acknowledging the limitations of current scientific understanding. There is an underlying theme of seeking deeper meaning and understanding beyond conventional paradigms.

This issue of KBC magazine, volume 12, issue 11, dated May 15, 1996, delves into mysteries of the cosmos and personal philosophy. The cover prominently features the headline "РАЗГАДКА ТАЙНЫ МАРСИАН" (Unraveling the Martian Mystery), accompanied by an image of an F-15 fighter jet.

UFO Sightings and Physical Evidence

The magazine presents three detailed accounts of UFO encounters, emphasizing the physical traces left behind.

Custer, Washington, USA (January 12, 1965)

Mrs. J. witnessed lights that she initially mistook for a landing aircraft. The lights merged into a bright white source that descended towards her house. Four terrified women and a police officer observed the object, described as 10 meters in diameter with a domed top, absolutely silent, and emitting a blinding white light. It hovered for several minutes before ascending vertically. A circular imprint, 3-3.5 meters in diameter, was found in the 30-40 cm of snow where it landed, with signs of thermal impact on the soil beneath. Oval imprints, 20 cm in size, also led from the landing site to nearby vegetation.

Chapeau, Quebec, Canada (May 11, 1969)

Mr. Chapat was awakened by his dog's barking and saw a bright light source about 200 meters away. The light illuminated the area and cast a shadow of the witness. The light was about 4 meters above the ground before extinguishing, followed by a faint, receding sound resembling a cat's purr. The next morning, Mr. Chapat and his son found a circular imprint and three smaller circular indentations forming a triangle, along with a rectangular imprint 2-3 cm deep near the center. The article speculates these might be from landing gear and a hatch.

Vinces, France (April 14, 1957)

Two elderly French women reported a strange, metallic "spinning top"-shaped object, 1.5 meters high, landing on the road about 100 meters away. It caused a nearby road sign to vibrate intensely. A man 300 meters away heard the women's screams and the sign's buzzing. He found the object had jumped 6 meters high, rotated, and landed on a branching road, causing a second sign to vibrate. The object itself was silent. Investigators and police found that compasses deviated 15 degrees near the vibrating signs and 4 degrees near a "Renault" car, with no deviation near a sign further away.

Martian Mysteries: The Face and Pyramids

The magazine revisits the discovery of a human-like face and pyramids on Mars, made from images transmitted by the American "Viking" probes 20 years prior. The "face" is described as 1500 meters wide and 300 meters high, with details like eyeballs, pupils, and even a 'stone tear' visible with advanced analysis. The pyramids are noted for their similarity to earthly ones, though the article questions whether they resemble Egyptian or Mexican structures more. The author posits that these formations are not accidental but were created by extraterrestrials. The "female face" symbolizes eternal life, the "male face" (a second, less-known "sphinx") represents eternal reason, and the pyramids are seen as protective "roofs" for this eternal life and reason. The article laments that this information has not been integrated into educational curricula, potentially hindering a shift in worldview regarding humanity's place in the universe.

Parenting Philosophy: Beyond Discipline

I. Moiseenko contributes an article questioning the necessity of traditional child-rearing. The author reflects on past hyper-responsibility for her children's actions, leading to suffering for both. She now believes that children are souls with their own tasks and destinies, and that parents' primary role is to work on themselves, not to control their children. Key points include:

• Innate Individuality: Children are born with their own desires, tastes, and opinions.
• Freedom: The greatest happiness for a soul is freedom of action, thought, and creativity.
• Non-Violence: Parents should avoid any form of coercion, spiritual or physical, and instead offer help.
• Self-Improvement: The focus should be on parents improving themselves, not on changing their children.
• Mistakes as Learning: Children should be allowed to make and learn from their mistakes (unless they are criminal).
• Supporting Destiny: Parents should support their children in finding and pursuing their own paths.
• Nurturing Positivity: Instead of eradicating negative traits, parents should focus on cultivating and supporting positive qualities in their children.

The author concludes by acknowledging her past mistakes but expressing acceptance of her children and joy in their successes, even if experienced from a distance.

Magical Talismans and Energy Structures

B. Monosov discusses the ancient technique of magical talismans. Magicians can influence the world with their thoughts, but for prolonged or external effects, talismans are used. A talisman is described as an information carrier that interacts with the owner's consciousness and the surrounding environment.

• Function: Talismans are not designed to physically stop bullets but to alter the owner's trajectory in time and space, ensuring they are not at the point of impact.
• Ectoplasm: Talismans absorb ectoplasm, the substance of the human ethereal body, which is a carrier of information.
• Information Encoding: Magicians create structured ectoplasm clouds, known as 'spells' or 'enchantments,' which are encoded using complex geometric forms, similar to ancient Native American knot writing. These 'mandalas' are planar representations of multidimensional energy structures.
• Mechanism: Spells affect consciousness directly, bypassing normal senses. They can create illusions, including visual, auditory, and tactile hallucinations, and can even manifest as 'magical ifrits' capable of frightening or harming individuals.
• Types: While many talismans are for protection, healing, or assistance, ancient spells could be aggressive, designed to guard dwellings and laboratories by embodying common fears.
• Creation: Talismans can be made from various materials like fabric, paper, or metal, and may incorporate crystals. They are considered complex instruments requiring highly skilled specialists.
• "Items of Power": Talismans are categorized as "items of power" in magic.

The article also briefly mentions natural energy structures, sometimes created by mentally ill individuals, which can negatively affect others. It warns about the potential danger of wearing other people's belongings, especially jewelry, due to accumulated negative energy.

Reader Information

The magazine provides details on how readers can access previous issues at St. Petersburg libraries, including the Russian National Library and the Academy of Sciences Library. Contact information for the editorial office and a list of realization points are also included.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

This issue of KBC demonstrates a consistent interest in the unexplained and the esoteric, juxtaposing extraterrestrial phenomena (UFOs, Martian anomalies) with spiritual and philosophical topics (parenting, magic). The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting detailed accounts and theoretical explanations from various perspectives. There is a clear emphasis on the importance of personal growth and understanding the deeper, often hidden, aspects of reality, whether cosmic or personal. The magazine encourages critical thinking while also embracing the possibility of phenomena beyond conventional scientific understanding.
