This issue of the Swedish newsletter 'BREVCIRKELN.' delves into the nature of telepathy and explores metaphysical concepts regarding the origin of matter, while also addressing the financial needs of the publication.

Om Telepati (On Telepathy)

The lead article, 'Om Telepati,' authored by E.B., posits that telepathy is not a mystical phenomenon but an inherent capability within all individuals. E.B. argues that there is a single, universal mind or consciousness that exists everywhere in space and within every person. This universal mind is the source from which thoughts can be sent and received. The process is likened to that of radio apparatuses, where greater sensitivity leads to better transmission and reception of thought waves.

E.B. outlines a personal method for telepathic communication. This involves visualizing a stream of light originating from the heart center and moving to the forehead, specifically to a point between the eyes. The sender then visualizes the face of the person they wish to contact, or if the person is unknown, they focus on the name, believing the divine mind will visualize them. The message is then sent along this visualized light beam. The author expresses strong conviction in the reception of the message, stating that doubt can neutralize the transmission as it is also registered.

Crucially, E.B. stresses the importance of using this telepathic ability only for good, warning that any harm intended towards others will inevitably be experienced by the sender due to an immutable spiritual law. This law, it is stated, governs thought vibrations and is unerring, unlike human judgment.

Editorial Note on Finances

The editorial section ('FRÅN RED:') addresses a recurring and less pleasant topic: the financial support of the Brevcirkeln. Despite previous appeals, the financial situation has worsened. A significant number of participants, including some who have been members since March 1963, have not yet contributed financially, which is deemed essential for the organization's existence. The editorial states that this current mailing will be the last sent to those who have not addressed this financial aspect. The organization will only proceed once the financial issue is resolved, emphasizing that the level of interest is directly indicated by financial contribution.

Literature

Under the 'LITTERATUR' (Literature) section, a 10-page reprint of a lecture by Pastor Algöt Englesson, titled 'PÅ TRÖSKELN TILL DEN NYA TIDSÅLDERN' (On the Threshold of the New Age), delivered on March 6, 1964, is available upon request for the cost of postage and envelopes. It is noted that readers of 'GALAX' magazine have already seen this material.

Ramon Natalli on the Origin of Matter

Ramon Natalli contributes an article that tackles one of the fundamental mysteries confronting scientific minds: the origin of matter. Natalli suggests that this question may be better answered by metaphysics than by physical science. The metaphysical perspective, he argues, would state that matter simply 'is,' without a specific origin point in the human understanding of the term.

Natalli elaborates by considering a hypothetical point in space from which matter originated. He contends that such a point would itself have to be composed of some form of matter, understandable by humans. Regardless of its size, this point could not be located in space ('here or there') without reference to another object. This leads to the conclusion that a point, a line, or a plane cannot exist in isolation. Therefore, matter is presented as a product of thought.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the potential of human consciousness, particularly in the realm of telepathy and thought transmission, and the practicalities of maintaining an organization dedicated to exploring such topics. The editorial stance is clear on the necessity of financial support for the Brevcirkeln to continue its operations, framing it as a measure of genuine interest. Metaphysical exploration, as seen in Natalli's piece, is encouraged as a means to understand fundamental questions about existence, such as the nature of matter.

DET ÄR INGENTING MYSTISKT MED TELEPATI. INOM OSS SJÄLVA HAR VI ALLA MÖJLIGHETEN ATT BLI MEDVETNA OM TANKAR. NÄR VI INSER ATT DET FINNS ENDAST EN UNIVERSELL TANKE, OCH ATT DENNA TANKE FINNS I VAR OCH EN AV OSS, LIKSOM ÖVERALLT I RYMDEN, ÄR DET ENKELT ATT SÄNDA OCH TA EMOT TANKAR.

— E.B.
