Editorial and Member Communications

The editorial team thanks members for pointing out an error in the previous issue's cover number, clarifying it was 3/96. They express concern that event announcements are not reaching members in a timely manner, attributing this partly to members not sending in information about local events. The newsletter is published monthly, at the end of each month, to inform members about upcoming and past activities.

Correspondence, Messages, and Advertisements

For those interested in linguistics, the KPU archive contains the journals "Orbis - Bulletin International de Documentation linguistique" from 1965, with translations available in manuscript form. AOS Publishing is preparing a book by I. Wiesner titled "Bohove a apokalypsy" (Gods and Apocalypses). A request is made for a computer program for Commodore 128 D or C 64, specifically a Czech text editor with printing capabilities, with a note that disks will be sent in return. The club's audio archive has received a lecture by E. von Daniken from his 1990 visit to Prague (2 x 90 min cassettes), and members can send their own cassettes for copying. J.K. is thanked for sending a demo version of a biorhythm program. The newsletter also mentions an offer from American publisher Adventures Unlimited, with copies available for 14 CZK plus 6 CZK postage. Information is sought regarding "letters from planet UMMO" for the UFO center in Plzen. Kopp Verlag has sent a catalog of UFO and archaeoastronautics literature (in German), with copies available for 20 CZK plus postage.

Events and Conferences

Klub Hyperion (SR) is organizing a congress titled "Neobjasnene fenomeny a veda" (Unexplained Phenomena and Science) in Bratislava, Slovakia, on May 4, 1996. The congress will take place at the Dome kultury Zrkadlovy haj, Rovniankova 3, Bratislava - Petrzalka, from 10:00 to 18:00, with a banquet starting at 19:00. Registration is at the Klub Hyperion address or at the congress. The basic fee is 90 SK, with discounts for students and pensioners (50 SK), and the banquet costs 480 SK.

Skeptic Group and Lectures

The skeptic group "Sysifos" is recommended for those interested in the views of opponents of anomalous phenomena. They are holding lectures on May 2, 1996 (healing by faith, alternative medicine) and May 16, 1996 (risks of alternative medicine for patients) at the aula of Jungmanova ul. in Plzen, both starting at 14:00. Previously held lectures included topics like acupuncture, GPZ, homeopathy, macrobiotics, parapsychology, and psychotronics.

Seminar in Usti n.L.

An apology is made for incomplete information regarding a seminar on April 20, 1996, featuring Ing. V. Patrovsky at the Narodni dum. It is clarified that the event was in Usti n.L. and began after 9:00 AM with an attendance of about 50-60 people. Due to conflicts with present listeners, most attendees left before 12:00 PM.

Travel Opportunities

The travel agency BON Tour (Vl.Dvorak, Brnicko u Zabrehu 91) is offering trips to Marian apparition sites, including Medjugorje and Fatima, as well as tours to Lourdes, the Matterhorn, Pyrenees, St.Michel, Bretan, Monaco, and Israel (Nazareth, Jericho, Sion, Dead Sea). The agency is considering organizing trip number 3 (Lourdes, La Salette, French Riviera, Monaco) from Plzen if enough KPU members are interested, otherwise, individual arrangements are suggested.

Psychoenergetic Society (PES) Publications

The Psychoenergetic Society (PES) publishes the quarterly journal "Mandala Nova" and other publications focused on spiritual personal development, particularly in relation to healing. Available items include older issues of "Mandala" (5 CZK), "Mandala Nova" 1-4/95 (20 CZK), and 1/96 (25 CZK), with an annual subscription for 1996 costing 120 CZK. Other publications include books on spiritual healing, following Christ, mystical concentration, the Aquarian Gospel, dowsing, clairvoyance, and research on fundamental radiation and mental energy effects on living organisms.

Concept for Research into Anomalous Psychological Phenomena

The KPU outlines its research concept for anomalous psychological phenomena, divided into several key areas:

I. Gathering reports and information on anomalous psychological phenomena in the Czech Republic (Program Poltergeist).
II. Collecting information on the occurrence of anomalous phenomena worldwide and analyzing them.
III. Establishing a spiritual-psychological counseling service and collaborating with transpersonally oriented psychologists and psychiatrists.
1. Studying alternative models of the universe's structure, including mythological texts, cosmogonies, scientific conclusions, and alternative theories (Hanak, Nemcik, Moraek, Novikov, etc.).
2. Investigating the role of psychic energy, including analyzing mythological texts related to humanity's place in the universe, C.G. Jung's theory of the collective unconscious, and findings from transpersonal psychology.
3. Researching anomalous psychological and psychotronic phenomena, including developing classification and terminology, analyzing theories of the Earth's crystal structure (icosahedron-dodecahedron system of the Earth - ISDS), and studying theories of dragon lines, geo-anomalous zones, and telluric currents.
4. Investigating the occurrence of anomalous phenomena at cult sites, astrological verification of collected reports, psychotronic research of anomalous phenomenon sites, and geological surveys.
IV. The role of the observer in the origin and course of anomalous phenomena.
a. Examining the observer's previous psychological states and experiences, including physical and health development.
b. Continuous work and ongoing observation of the observer regarding the influence of anomalous phenomena on their future life.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The newsletter consistently promotes information sharing among members, encourages participation in events, and provides resources for further study in areas like UFOlogy, parapsychology, and alternative healing. There is a clear interest in both documenting anomalous phenomena and critically examining them, as evidenced by the inclusion of the skeptic group Sysifos's activities. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, seeking to inform and engage its membership in these complex subjects.
