Kosmisk Bulletin - 1970 No 7 juli

Magazine Overview

Title: KOSMISK BULLETIN
Issue: Nr 7 - Årg. 2
Date: July 1970
Publisher: Svensk IGAP journal

Purpose of the Magazine

The magazine's purpose is to be a part of the International Get Acquainted Program (IGAP), initiated in 1959 by philosopher George Adamski. IGAP aims to disseminate a realistic life philosophy grounded in the understanding of the universal laws that govern the cosmos in harmony. The publication seeks to address societal problems such as drug abuse, crime, environmental destruction, and religious conflicts by offering solutions based on this cosmic perspective. It emphasizes that by helping individuals understand themselves and their surroundings, many problems can be resolved.

Kosmisk Bulletin focuses on topics often overlooked by mainstream media, including UFOs and telepathy, but places a strong emphasis on cosmic philosophy, viewing interpersonal understanding and ways of life as crucial for humanity's future.

Editorial Stance and Philosophy

The magazine adheres strictly to IGAP's principle of being based on sound common sense, excluding mysticism and occultism. The content is presented as knowledge that individuals can apply to improve their lives and contribute to a better existence. Kosmisk Bulletin is politically, religiously, and sect-independently published, operating without profit motives.

"Bäste läsare..." (Dear Reader...)

This editorial section questions the necessity of conflict and suffering in the world. It criticizes current protest methods as destructive and calls for a more constructive approach: "DEMONSTRERA!" (Demonstrate!). The author argues that true demonstration lies in living as an example, embodying the principles one wishes to see in the world. This constructive demonstration, based on understanding universal laws and harmony, is presented as the path to permanent positive results. The editorial emphasizes that societal change begins with individual transformation, urging readers to become examples of the desired change.

"Telepati är Verklig" (Telepathy is Real) by Heinz Lohmann

This article asserts the reality of telepathy, citing parapsychological research. It suggests that other mental abilities like clairvoyance and telekinesis may also be rooted in reality. Lohmann posits that as humans evolve, these mental faculties might become more latent, or conversely, develop further. He draws parallels with animal behavior, suggesting animals possess active psychic abilities for survival. The article discusses the concept of a 'cosmic consciousness' emerging in humans, which will lead to harmony, contrasting it with the 'natural defense mechanism' of animal consciousness. The author believes that as humans gain knowledge and spiritual maturity, these psychic abilities will become less necessary.

"Vetenskap" (Science) Section

This section presents brief scientific notes:

• Telepathy Makes EEG Scans: Reports on a 1968 conference in Moscow where Soviet scientist Ippolit Kogan demonstrated the possibility of recording EEG brain activity of individuals transmitting or receiving information, showing that a sender's EEG changes could be mirrored in the receiver's.
• Is Anyone Out There?: Mentions the Pulkovo Observatory in Leningrad installing powerful instruments to search for radio messages from extraterrestrial civilizations, highlighting it as a significant astronomical endeavor.
• Hostile Life on Mars?: Cites a report from Atlantic City where scientist Dr. Harold C. Urey expressed concern about potentially hostile life on Mars hindering human exploration. He suggested sending unmanned probes and small animals first to assess the risks before sending humans.

"UFO-nyheter" (UFO News)

• Himlafenomen i Järna Sågs Även i Arjeplog (Phenomenon in Järna Also Seen in Arjeplog): Reports a correlation between a UFO sighting in Järna and Arjeplog on Epiphany. The object was described as a bright, silent, fast-moving object connected to a cylinder. Experts confirmed it was not a known satellite.
• Tefat från Ett Annat Solsystem (Flying Saucers from Another Solar System): Quotes Professor Harold Salkin, who claimed to have evidence, including photographs and metal fragments, proving that UFOs originate from planets in other solar systems.

"Exploderande Tefat?" (Exploding Saucers?)

This article revisits George Adamski's predictions from the 1950s, noting how many have been confirmed by later scientific discoveries (e.g., Van Allen belts, cosmic rays). It focuses on Adamski's description of small 'telemeter discs' that could dissolve, sometimes explosively, without leaving a trace. A detailed account is given of an incident in Finland on January 7, 1970, where two witnesses observed a fiery red light that exploded into a cloud, followed by a humming sound and a bright reflex on the snow. The object, about one meter in diameter, caused physical discomfort to one witness, including warmth, stiffness, difficulty breathing, and skin discoloration. The witnesses sought medical attention, and the symptoms were attributed to a possible 'magnetic (electric?) beam' or 'electrical explosion'. The incident left no trace in the snow.

"Den Mänskliga Naturen" (The Human Nature) by Thor-Leif Dahnielson

This piece challenges the notion that human nature is inherently egoistic and unchangeable. Dahnielson argues that 'human nature' is not a fixed biological trait but rather a product of an individual's thought patterns and their 'personal opinion'. He contends that this 'nature' is constantly evolving and can be changed by breaking destructive thought patterns. The author uses the analogy of a TV receiver, stating that individuals broadcast what their minds are tuned to. He emphasizes that egoism hinders development and prevents one from experiencing true happiness. The article concludes that the 'heavenly kingdom' exists within a mind free from judgment and division, a mind that is one with all creation.

"Rymdskepp och Gravitation" (Spaceships and Gravitation) by George Adamski

Adamski discusses the principles behind extraterrestrial spacecraft propulsion. He explains that these craft do not rely on heavy fuel but instead harness natural energy. The article delves into geomagnetism, describing the magnetic fields surrounding planets and stars as forming an 'interferensmönster' (interference pattern) that creates invisible bands balancing the solar system. These elliptical fields, akin to alternating current, can be used for propulsion. The author explains that spacecraft utilize half of each bidirectional pulse generated by these fields to move. He also touches upon the concept of 'pro-gravitative' principles, where spacecraft create their own gravitational field that harmonizes with a planet's magnetic field, rendering the craft weightless and allowing for easy movement.

"Perfektion" (Perfection) by Alice B. Pomeroy

Pomeroy explores the concept of perfection, distinguishing between the 'causal state' (Cosmic Intelligence) and the 'effect state' (manifestation). She argues that earthly definitions of perfection focus only on the manifestation, ignoring the underlying cause. The article suggests that all forms in the cosmos are created with a purpose and evolve gradually. Perfection is described as a state of mind, attainable when one understands the interconnectedness of all things and aligns with the universal laws. The author uses the example of a rose and its potential imperfections (like aphid damage) to illustrate that even these are part of a larger purpose within the cosmic order. For humans, perfection involves reuniting the positive and negative aspects of their identity to return to a state of unity.

"Foton" (Photos)

This section likely refers to photographic content within the magazine, though no specific details are provided in the text.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of Kosmisk Bulletin are the exploration of UFO phenomena, the scientific and philosophical aspects of telepathy, and the concept of a higher cosmic philosophy guiding human existence. The magazine strongly advocates for personal transformation and constructive action as the means to societal improvement, moving away from destructive protests. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all things, the existence of universal laws, and the potential for humanity to evolve towards a state of harmony and understanding, both individually and collectively. The editorial stance is one of promoting a rational, yet spiritually aware, perspective on life, grounded in the teachings of George Adamski and supported by scientific inquiry where applicable.
