Esprit Scientifique et Sciences Ignorées (Scientific Spirit and Ignored Sciences) by M. GORIN, engineer

This article explores the nature of scientific inquiry, distinguishing between mathematical and empirical sciences. It highlights how mathematics can predict discoveries, citing the example of Neptune and Pluto. Empirical sciences, like biology, often begin with observation, as with the microscope. The author emphasizes that scientific spirit requires an open mind, not prematurely dismissing unexplained phenomena. He shares personal anecdotes, such as observing an "effect Luxembourg" where a French radio station's signal was interfered with by an English station on the same frequency, contradicting established interference laws. Gorin defines scientific spirit as openness to life and nature, urging against definitive pronouncements without thorough study. He criticizes scientists who overstep their expertise into unrelated fields. The article discusses unusual observations like a bright blue sun and the green ray, and personal experiences with phenomena like ball lightning. The author also touches upon the limitations of current science in explaining all observed phenomena, suggesting that many mysteries will be solved in the future.

The Third Path: Unknown Sciences

Gorin then delves into "ignored sciences," which he has explored through personal experience:

• Hypnotism: Discusses its historical use in medicine for treating mental illnesses and hysteria, citing Charcot. He questions the physical resilience and lack of pain during surgery under hypnosis, and the post-hypnotic obedience of subjects.
• Autosuggestion: The author shares his use of autosuggestion to resist cold and pain, recounting an incident where he suppressed foot pain caused by a nail.
• Magnetism: He describes using magnetism to alleviate migraines and improve the condition of sick relatives, questioning whether it's merely suggestion when physical improvements are observed.
• Telepathy (Transmission of Thought): Details experiments conducted with his father, involving finding hidden objects through directed thought, using a binary system of 'yes' or 'no' guidance.

Astrology

Gorin distinguishes "scientific astrology" from charlatanism, defining it as the creation of a horoscope based on precise birth date, time, and location. He notes the complexity of calculations involved and mentions that even polytechnicians are involved in astrological studies. After twelve years of study and approximately 150 horoscopes, he claims to have achieved significant accuracy in predicting past and future events. He addresses the argument of precession of the equinoxes, suggesting it's a misunderstanding of how astrological systems work.

Radiesthesia

While not personally gifted as an operator, Gorin explains that pendulums and rods amplify unconscious movements. He recounts a personal experience where a radiesthesist accurately diagnosed a lung spot that was later confirmed by X-ray, despite it not being visible on a previous scan.

Spiritism

He acknowledges the negative perception of spiritism due to fanatics but notes that respected figures like astronomer Flammarion and scientist Sir William Crookes were spiritualists. He mentions Crookes's work with the radiometer and X-rays.

The New York Blackout of November 9, 1965

This section, based on a text by M. Pélissier, an EDF engineer, analyzes the technical causes of the massive power outage that affected New York and parts of the northeastern United States and Canada. It explains how the tripping of a power relay at the Sir Adam Beck power station, due to an unexpected surge, led to a cascading failure across the interconnected grid, causing outages lasting up to 13 hours.

The Mystery of the Ica Engraved Stones (Peru) - A Supercivilization 65 Million Years Ago?

This extensive article, compiled from contributions by José Maria Cano, Jesús Maria Sanchez, and José Ignacio Pereira, with input from J.J. Benitez, presents the findings of Dr. Javier Cabrera Darquea, a Peruvian professor. He has collected over 11,000 stones from the Ocucaje desert, near Ica, Peru, featuring detailed engravings.

Contents of the Collection

The stones depict a wide range of subjects, including:

• Paleontology: Representations of extinct animals, including dinosaurs like the Triceratops and Stegosaurus, suggesting the engravers coexisted with them 65 million years ago.
• Anatomy and Surgery: Detailed illustrations of surgical procedures, including what appears to be a cesarean section and brain or heart transplantation, showing advanced medical knowledge and the use of instruments and even what seems to be an extracorporeal circulation device. The use of gloves by surgeons is noted.
• Astronomy and Astronautics: Engravings depict constellations, astronomical observations, and what are interpreted as flying machines or spacecraft. One stone shows a map of the Earth with continents in their ancient positions and mentions of "Mu" and "Atlantis." Another stone illustrates three moons, suggesting Earth had multiple satellites in the past.
• Humanoid Figures: Some stones show figures with large heads and unusual body proportions, possibly representing a different human race or advanced beings.
• Geographical Information: Stones include maps and depictions of geographical features, suggesting knowledge of global geography.

Theories and Interpretations

Dr. Cabrera suggests that these stones represent a library of knowledge from a civilization that predates known human history, possibly existing 65 million years ago. He proposes that these beings may have harnessed electromagnetic energy from the Van Allen belt using pyramid-like structures for power. The article also speculates on the cause of this civilization's disappearance, possibly due to an energy imbalance leading to a cataclysmic event when Earth's three moons fell.

Specific Engravings Discussed:

• Fig. C.2: A partial view of a stone showing two physicians performing a C-section, with a tube connecting the surgeon's mouth to the baby's, suggesting artificial respiration.
• Fig. C.1: A representation of a brain or heart transplant operation, with multiple surgeons and complex equipment.
• Fig. B.1: A "world map" showing continents and pyramids, possibly related to energy capture.
• Fig. B.2: Depicts flying machines and a figure using a "umbilical cord" to attack a reptile, possibly an extraterrestrial.
• Fig. A.1: A map showing the distribution of the Ica stones and related sites.
• Fig. A.3: Illustrates a surgical procedure on a heart, with tubes and a complex apparatus.

The article concludes by noting the geographical proximity of the Ocucaje desert, Nazca lines, and Machu Picchu, suggesting a connection between these ancient sites. The professor's upcoming publication will detail his eight years of research.

Observation of an Aerial Luminous Phenomenon by MM. ALOS and GARCIA, members of A.D.E.P.S.

A witness, M. C... B..., observed a stationary red-orange light in the sky near Draguignan, France, in August 1973. The light, appearing at 10 PM on a clear night, was described as having a diameter larger than a star and was initially thought to be a point of light. After disappearing, it reappeared and seemed to respond to flashlight signals, changing volume and position. The witness's wife, a Jehovah's Witness, interpreted it as a diabolical manifestation, while the witness felt a sense of connection and sought understanding. The phenomenon eventually disappeared.

Earthquakes and Luminous Phenomena by Jacques BONABOT (GESAG, Bruges)

This section connects seismic activity with luminous phenomena, referencing a previous article on the Agadir earthquake. It reports on an earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico in August 1959, preceded by a bright light observed by refinery workers and a coast guard. The article cites Dr. S.W. Visser, who notes that luminous phenomena are often reported during earthquakes, though sometimes dismissed as confusion with stormy weather or auroras. Visser suggests that geophysics might be involved in these unknown phenomena. The article also mentions a 1933 earthquake in Sumatra associated with a volcanic eruption and unusual lights.

Kirlian Effect Precisions by Raymond LAUTIE, Docteur ès Sciences

This article elaborates on the Kirlian effect, a photographic technique developed by Semyon and Valentina Kirlian. It describes how a simple apparatus using a capacitor and high-frequency electromagnetic waves can capture a luminous halo, or 'aura,' around living objects. The author, a doctor of sciences, uses this technique to assess the vitality of plants and people. He discusses the complexity of these 'auras,' comparing them to concepts of the astral body or biological plasma, but leans towards simpler physical explanations. Lautie notes that the Kirlian effect is influenced by frequency, intensity, and magnetic fields. He emphasizes its practical applications in dietetics and agriculture, allowing for the assessment of plant health, dehydration, and even the differentiation between chemical and biological farming methods. The article also suggests potential applications in medical diagnostics, such as detecting weakened organs or cancerous cells, and understanding the mysteries of acupuncture.

Insolite (Unusual)

Electrical Phenomena in the Doubs

This report details unusual electrical events in the village of Bouverans, Doubs, France, in the spring of 1975. These included washing machines "agitating," livestock becoming agitated, three cows electrocuted, and a butcher receiving an electric shock. An EDF (Electricité de France) official suggested a rare atmospheric overvoltage phenomenon, where atmospheric surges could be channeled through grounding systems and into homes. The article notes that similar incidents have occurred in the Doubs region.

Fish-Men

This brief section references a 1970s report about "fish-men" or "men-fish" encountered by divers and fishermen off the coast of Mexico, illustrated by painter Molino. It also mentions a more recent report from Tanzania about the capture of a "fish-man," though the government denied its existence. The article questions whether these are surviving ancient species or crews of mysterious underwater vessels.

The "Holy Face" Appears Nightly in New Mexico

This short piece reports that ecclesiastical authorities are investigating an image resembling Christ that appears nightly on the wall of an old church in Sangre de Cristo, New Mexico. Thousands have visited to witness the phenomenon, which authorities are investigating without immediately attributing it to a supernatural cause.

Service Librairie

This section lists books available for purchase through the "LIBRAIRIE DES ARCHERS," including titles on health, nutrition, parapsychology, UFOs, and ancient mysteries. Notable authors featured include H. Ch. Geffroy, Daniken, Kolosimo, and Uri Geller. The bookstore will be closed during August.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores phenomena that lie outside mainstream scientific understanding, including ancient mysteries, paranormal events, and unexplained aerial sightings. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting evidence and personal accounts while acknowledging the limitations of current scientific knowledge. There's a clear interest in ancient civilizations, extraterrestrial hypotheses, and the potential for undiscovered scientific principles. The publication aims to inform readers about these "ignored sciences" and "human and cosmic problems," encouraging critical thinking and further investigation.
