This issue of BREVCIRKELN, a circular letter for members, focuses on paranormal phenomena, particularly the "Jürgensen case," and includes discussions on UFOs and the causes of disease.

The Jürgensen Case

The issue begins by addressing the "Jürgensen case," detailing how voices and images initially appeared as spiritual word-pictures in Jürgensen's consciousness, followed by a "raw, pulsating heart" and later, phenomena manifesting in empty air, on recording tapes, and in photographs. These are compared to the spiritistic direct voice phenomenon and the appearance of mystical images and texts on undeveloped film or photographs, with messages claiming to be from "spirits" or "Interplanetarians." Jürgensen reportedly explained the "mixed language" of these messages as proof that they were not radio interference, though the author notes this explanation doesn't hold for all cases.

Sven Magnusson, in his analysis, proposes that these "messages" do not come from external spirits but from "soul fragments" of the medium's own psyche. He theorizes that Jürgensen, being medial, unconsciously utilizes his own hidden soul-energies and knowledge of nine languages to create these manifestations. Magnusson asserts that the subconscious mind is capable of such feats, like playing instruments or speaking in tongues, a capability he believes is not universally acknowledged, with spiritualists attributing it to spirits.

Magnusson also addresses the phenomenon of voices being perceived far from Jürgensen's location, stating this is unsurprising for those familiar with supersensory psychophysical phenomena that are independent of space. He further discusses Jürgensen's vivid dreams, which he interprets as visits to Hades or the world of spirits, noting that many people have similar experiences, sometimes so real that they believe them to be actual events upon waking.

Regarding UFOs, Jürgensen's "voices" reportedly described them as "ships of the dead," a statement Magnusson finds peculiar. Despite Jürgensen's potential positive qualities, Magnusson concludes that he is too uncritical to truly understand the phenomena occurring around him.

Elisabeth Lansénor comments on Sven Magnusson's contribution, emphasizing the need for sharp criticism when listening to and receiving impulses from beyond the physical senses. She notes that in Jürgensen's case, "everything that comes within reach is accepted," which can lead astray. Lansénor suggests that to prevent uncontrolled voices, the recipient must prepare themselves by raising their vibrations through prayer, meditation, listening to music, and purifying the air. She believes that a trained recipient will calmly wait for the right impulse, and that these preparations create a "shield" that lower beings cannot penetrate.

Lansénor expresses concern that Jürgensen's "uncontrolled work" is expanding beyond the protection offered by "our space friends" who visit Earth. She critically views the claim that these "space friends" have the mission to guide the dead to the other side, arguing that people have always died without the need for such assistance. She attributes this distorted truth to a lack of self-control.

Paracelsus and Diseases

The magazine then presents a section on "Paracelsus and Diseases," drawing from his teachings. It posits that all existence stems from a single source, "Urkraften" (the Primal Force). Diseases are explained as a result of disobedience to the laws of this force. To make this concept understandable, five distinct "entities" or principles are presented as causes of all diseases, all stemming from the same fundamental principle:

1. Astral: Diseases originating from and affecting the astral body.
2. Venal: Diseases caused by impurities and toxic substances.
3. Natural: Diseases arising from individual characteristics.
4. Spiritual: Diseases caused by magical influence.
5. Deal (Karma): Diseases caused by the workings of the laws of cause and effect (karma).

It is stated that any disease can be caused by one or more of these five entities.

Correspondence and Notices

A letter from Anna-Lisa Helle is included, referencing a letter from Herr Perjons who expressed his disturbance over a reaction to his previous submission, intended to stimulate debate. Perjons clarifies that he is completely alien to and fights against racial discrimination and Nazism, stating this should have been clear from his earlier submissions. Those wishing to discuss this further are invited to correspond directly with Herr Perjons.

Notices include a mention of George Adamski reportedly writing a fourth book, the availability of reprinted circular letters (Series A, B, and D) on topics such as "Radio to Other Worlds," "Reincarnation," "The Missing Years in Jesus' Life," "Vibrations," and "The Universal Religion," available for 50 öre per letter plus postage. Literature is also available upon request for the cost of postage and envelopes.

Specific literature titles are listed: "BSRA - The Ethereal or '4-D' Interpretation of Aerofoms," "GB-12 - What Will We See in Space?" (a sketch by Siv Gryhed), and "The Message of the Verdant World from the Deceased, Famous and Beloved Pope John XXIII" (limited copies remaining). A description of "VanderMeulen's Signal Device" (Series B, Brev 2) is provided, an apparatus that can be built by anyone to inform people who are busy that contact from the other world is desired. The description is brief, covering background, description, drawing, and function, as the full account of its "rediscovery" could not be included due to time constraints.

"Astral Projection - Elementary" is also available. A new book, "At the Threshold of the Unknown" by G.N.M. Tyrrell, is recommended as a fascinating account of psychical phenomena, priced at Kr 8:50.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are mediumship, the nature of consciousness beyond the physical body, the interpretation of paranormal phenomena, and the exploration of alternative explanations for UFOs and diseases. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, while also advocating for critical analysis and personal preparation when engaging with such phenomena. There is a clear emphasis on the importance of self-control and critical thinking, as highlighted in the commentary on the Jürgensen case and the discussion on the origins of paranormal messages.
