LUMIÈRES DANS LA NUIT

Magazine Overview

This issue of "Lumières dans la Nuit," number 7, dated September 1958, is dedicated to exploring profound truths and guiding humanity towards new horizons. The magazine, founded by R. VEILLITH, emphasizes the search for truth and the betterment of human existence on various planes.

Science Sans Conscience...

The lead article, "Science Sans Conscience...", addresses the growing concern that scientific progress, particularly the development of atomic energy, poses a grave threat to humanity. The author argues that science itself is neither good nor bad, but its application determines its outcome. Using the example of fire, the article posits that inventors cannot be held solely responsible for the destructive uses of their discoveries, just as atomic scientists bear responsibility for the deaths in Hiroshima. The piece critiques humanity's relentless pursuit of material progress without considering its impact on physical, moral, and spiritual well-being. It references Alexis Carrel's "Réflexions sur la conduite de la vie" and its three fundamental laws: conservation of life, propagation of the race, and ascension of the spirit. The article concludes that true peace will only be achieved when humanity aligns its actions with these laws, rather than pursuing material progress indiscriminately.

Notes sur le Cancer

Authored by Joseph ANDRE, this section presents findings on cancer. While acknowledging that medicine no longer classifies cancer as a strictly microbial or contagious disease, ANDRE suggests it is a complex degenerative process. He identifies a toxin, named "spherula dentata" by Professor CALLIGARIS, which is activated by harmful ground radiations. These radiations, often unnoticed, create a terrain conducive to the toxin's development. ANDRE asserts that radiesthésie can aid in the early diagnosis of cancer, a feat difficult for conventional methods. He explains that the toxin acts like a microbe but requires an organic deficiency, often caused by exposure to nocive radiations, to develop normally. The article also notes that chemical imbalances in the blood and tissues, influenced by these radiations, can lead to a deficiency that makes the body susceptible. ANDRE's research, conducted with his "bio-révélateur microbien" since 1935, confirms that the "spherula dentata" microbe produces the cancerous toxin.

Numerous "Unidentified Flying Objects" Observed at the Time of the Launch of the First Artificial Satellites

This extensive section, written by R. VEILLITH, compiles numerous UFO sightings reported globally, particularly following the launch of the Sputnik satellites in late 1957. VEILLITH notes that while the reported incidents date back to autumn 1957, the phenomenon is cyclical, with previous peaks in 1918, 1950, 1952, 1954, and 1955, and a predicted resurgence in late 1958/early 1959. The article dismisses the idea that these are natural phenomena or human-made aircraft, strongly suggesting an extraterrestrial origin. It highlights specific sightings:

• October 25, 1957: A UFO was observed over Gaydon airbase in the UK, pursued by a "Meteor" aircraft. It moved at 8,400 meters, displayed six lights, and evaded the pursuit.
• October 31, 1957: In Longchaumois, France, an industrialist and his wife witnessed a large, silent craft hovering near the ground before ascending rapidly.
• October 31, 1957: In Langres, France, a bright, disc-shaped object was seen moving in a curve.
• November 2, 1957: Two jet fighters in Johannesburg, South Africa, attempted to intercept two disc-shaped objects that reflected sunlight.
• November 2, 1957: In Texas, USA, a 60-meter long ovular craft landed, causing car engines and headlights to malfunction, suggesting magnetic force propulsion.
• November 5, 1957: Military police in White Stands, New Mexico, USA, observed a large, luminous object.
• November 7, 1957: Astronomers in Mount Stromio, Australia, observed a bright rose-colored object moving at an unusual speed.
• November 8, 1957: In Santiago, Chile, an object exhibited erratic movements, hovering and changing altitude, defying gravitational laws.
• November 8, 1957: Sightings were reported in La Haye (Netherlands), Marcoule (France), and Bordeaux (France).
• November 8, 1957: An astronomer in Toulouse, France, observed a brilliant elliptical object performing complex maneuvers.
• November 11, 1957: Reports included a cigar-shaped object in Australia and a large luminous ball in Oslo.
• November 12, 1957: Objects resembling "large barrels" were seen over Cyprus, and a "greenish luminous disk" was observed in Graz, Austria.
• November 16, 1957: Spanish journalists in Madrid photographed a bright, rugby-ball-shaped object that ascended rapidly.
• November 18, 1957: A luminous cone was observed in various locations in Western France.
• Late November 1957: A mysterious luminous cone was sighted in Denmark.

The article also mentions the reception of mysterious radio signals by the Americans on November 4th, at a frequency different from Sputnik's, which seemed to follow the Moon's movement. The author speculates on the reasons for the apparent non-contact by these extraterrestrial beings, suggesting differences in consciousness or superiority. The issue concludes by stating that the time for contact and human expansion into space is imminent.

Le Temps se Préparé Sous Terre (Conclusion)

This concluding part of an study by Paul BOUCHET discusses "telluric currents," described as manifestations of the Earth's internal magnetic energy. These currents, known in their marine form, also exist on land, influencing the migration of humans and animals. Ancient Druids are said to have marked these currents with megaliths in Western Europe. The article suggests that these currents are linked to the distribution of natural forces on Earth and that their patterns can be traced through ancient sites. The author also mentions the Chinese concept of the "Veine du Dragon" and the use of these currents for psychic communication. The region of Innsbruck, Tyrol, is identified as a primary center for telluric radiations in Western Europe. The section also promotes Paul BOUCHET's publications, including a monthly bulletin and novels on Druidism.

Les Raisons du Raisonneur

This section challenges the scientific concept of universal attraction, as proposed by Newton. The author argues that attraction is merely a supposition and that the phenomenon of bodies moving towards each other is better explained by a centripetal push from the surrounding ether. The article criticizes scientists for accepting this "supposition" without further investigation, suggesting that true intelligence seeks understanding beyond mere technical application. It posits that the force between two bodies is not attractive but a result of the ether's pressure, which is strongest when masses are in contact. The author contrasts this with the idea of attraction, which he finds less rational and less explanatory.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the critical examination of scientific progress, the nature of consciousness, and the exploration of unexplained phenomena. The magazine exhibits a skeptical yet open-minded approach to established scientific theories, particularly regarding gravity, and actively investigates reports of UFOs and other anomalies. There is a strong undercurrent of spiritual and philosophical inquiry, advocating for a more holistic understanding of life and the universe, guided by fundamental laws of nature and consciousness. The editorial stance appears to be one of seeking deeper truths beyond conventional explanations, encouraging readers to "seek and you shall find."

Title: Lumières dans la Nuit
Issue: II
Volume: III
Date: Third quarter 1958
Publisher: R. Veillith
Country: France
Language: French

This issue of 'Lumières dans la Nuit' features a blend of philosophical discourse and practical announcements. The cover prominently displays diagrams related to physics concepts, specifically attraction and the inverse square law, with accompanying text explaining these principles.

Article: Attraction and the Inverse Square Law

The initial section, presented as 'II -', uses diagrams (Fig. I and Fig. II) to illustrate the concept of attraction and how it diminishes with distance. Fig. I shows a circular representation of attraction and counter-sens, while Fig. II depicts a cross-section with lines of force. The text explains that if an object is at distance D=1 and receives 8 lines, at double the distance (D2) it receives 4, and at quadruple the distance (D4) it receives 2. It further elaborates that the surface area occupied by an object receives lines squared, so at D=1, 64 lines are received (8x8). At D2, 16 lines (4x4), and at D4, 4 lines (2x2). Using 'Kilogs' as a unit, the object weighs 64 Kg at D=1. At D2, it weighs 64 divided by the distance squared (2^2=4), resulting in 16 Kg. At D4, it weighs 64 divided by the distance squared (4^2=16), resulting in 4 Kg. This mathematical explanation clarifies why distance acts as a divisor squared, a concept that a simplistic idea of attraction alone could not account for.

Article: DE L'UNITE DANS L'HOMME A L'UNITE DES PEUPLES

Authored by Joseph ANDRE, this article explores the ideal of perfect unity within the human being and extends this concept to the unity of peoples. The author posits that the ultimate goal for humanity is to achieve this perfect unity, which is a synthesis of thought and action. True unity, according to ANDRE, requires harmony between these two fundamental aspects. Inharmony leads to imbalance and dispersion, while unity, as espoused by PYTHAGORE, is the generative and formative cause of all existence.

The article argues that achieving this internal unity within each human being is a prerequisite for forging unity among peoples. When this unitary harmony between thought and action is realized, it re-establishes equilibrium, leading to absolute order and the cessation of conflict, thus ushering in a fertile peace.

For the individual, achieving this unity means becoming master of oneself, with one's will aligning with universal law. The universal will becomes one with the individual's will, and their laws are the same. This fusion of thought and action, stemming from the grand principle, creates unity within the person. Consequently, the individual has nothing to fear, as all antagonism disappears, and they are no longer subject to internal or external enemies because equilibrium is established between the self and the surrounding environment.

These philosophical principles, when applied to peoples, are seen as the conditions for achieving their unity and, consequently, for establishing peace based on the universal will.
