"Free Will, Illusion or Reality?" (Editorial)

This editorial, written by Joan O'Connell, discusses the "contactee" phenomenon. It describes a typical scenario where an individual encounters a UFO and alien beings, leading to a "physical loss of time" and after-effects like sleeplessness, tension, and a feeling of lost free will. The editorial notes that this experience has been reported by a wide range of people, including housewives, singers, farmers, military personnel, and police officers. It suggests that under hypnosis, contactees reveal different "stories," indicating layers of the subconscious. The piece emphasizes the importance of "KNOWLEDGE" for researchers and advises arming oneself with psychic and physical knowledge to understand these phenomena. It encourages looking beyond the obvious for startling answers.

Letters to the Editor

One letter from Mary Hardy in Allegan, Michigan, discusses pyramid energy and its connection to cosmic light, suggesting that pyramids act as antennas that can interact with alien energy fields. She also mentions the secrets of the Cheops pyramid and the Atlantean Society's influence on Egyptian civilization.

Another letter from Trevor (James), author of "THE COSMIC PULSE OF LIFE," recounts a near-disastrous event where his printing plant and business were destroyed by fire shortly after a printing contract was signed for his book. He notes that despite the setback, the publication was expected to be released later.

"STRANGENEWS!"

This section presents a collection of brief, unusual news items from around the world:

• SIDEWALK TESTED AFTER DOG DIES (New York, 1/20/77): A dog died on a Harlem sidewalk, and a utility employee's test with a light bulb indicated possible electrocution.
• MASS ON LOCH BOTTOM (Edinburgh, Scotland, 1/13/77): Sonar detected a large object in Loch Ness, speculated to be a sunken boat or the monster.
• FRENCH 'WEREWOLF' ARRESTED (Senlis, 12/16/76): A man was arrested for allegedly being a "werewolf" responsible for eight murders.
• 'FOSSIL' PIG FOUND ALIVE IN PARAGUAY: A University of Connecticut biologist discovered a pig thought to be extinct for over two million years.
• WITCHDOCTORS HELD IN TWO FIRE DEATHS (Johannesburg, S. Africa, 12/30/76): Villagers witnessed a couple being burned alive after being accused by a witchdoctor.

"Communicating With Aliens"

This section features a cross-sectional drawing of a "ventla-type spacecraft" originally published by George Van Tassel in 1953. The drawing illustrates how positive primary radiation from the sun is converted into propulsive power in the "light motor." The text states that infrared photographs of similar vehicles, made directly from the invisible state, are consistent with Van Tassel's telepathically obtained description of spacecraft propulsion from nearly 30 years prior. The drawing is courtesy of the Ministry of Universal Wisdom, Inc.

"STAR SYMBOLS FROM MY GREAT GRANDFATHER"

This article by Michael Smith (Kwasind) recounts stories passed down from his great-grandfather, a Cheyenne medicineman. The great-grandfather shared a name given through ancestors from the Star Council of the Seven Sisters, who allegedly built cities and pyramids on Mars and colonized parts of North America. He spoke of a time when different races would recognize each other as "real people" and emphasized finding oneself in relation to creation and understanding what it means to be a "MAN." He also discussed the concept of the Great Spirit and the law of God being similar across different religions, referencing a legend of a white man like Jesus living among the Indians. The great-grandfather believed in purification for individuals and the Earth Mother, and described a sacred pipe sent from the Seven Sisters to Mars and then to Earth, guarded by a Martian animal.

He also described his great-grandfather's unusual bright blue eyes and immense energy, despite being 106 years old. The great-grandfather believed in the existence of twelve planets around the sun (now eleven after one was destroyed), and mentioned cities and pyramids on the Moon. He described copper headbands with crystals used for communication and scepters as energy rods for healing. The article also mentions descriptions of underground cities connected by tunnels across North America and various ancient peoples, including Germanic tribes, Japanese, Hawaiians, and African tribes.

Editor's Note

An editor's note mentions that Michael and Pat Smith are living in Boise and that Michael is available for counseling and "medicine" instruction. It notes that this article was first read in "INNER FORUM."

Advertisements

There are advertisements for "Jack Gillen Predicts" (a book by Grand Trine Publications) and the "NEW LEAF BOOK STORE," which specializes in metaphysical, mystical, occult, self-help, and inspirational books, as well as astrological supplies.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The New Atlantean Journal consistently explores themes of the unknown, unexplained, and unexplored, with a particular emphasis on UFOs, extraterrestrial life, and paranormal phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of serious investigation and factual presentation, even when dealing with subjects considered incredible. The journal encourages critical thinking, knowledge acquisition, and looking beyond conventional explanations. There is a recurring interest in ancient civilizations, cosmic connections, and the potential for humanity's evolution through understanding these mysteries. The publication also seems to have a spiritual or metaphysical undertone, as seen in the discussions of energy, consciousness, and the "Great Spirit."

This issue of UFOPHENOMENA, titled 'PARAPHYSICS', explores a range of paranormal and unexplained phenomena, with a strong focus on photographic evidence and eyewitness accounts of UFOs, alien beings, and other unusual occurrences. The magazine features articles on psychic photography, alleged alien encounters, and the mysterious properties of pyramids.

Psychic Photography: The Story Behind Page 151

Terry Allison recounts his experiences with psychic photography in 1975, where during a session with his wife Renee, he sensed and attempted to photograph a 'giant of a man'. While the photos did not capture the entity as expected, they revealed frames of Renee's aura, including fiber-like threads and the complete aura. Allison suggests this 'giant' is a guardian of Renee and has only appeared one other time. He offers instructions for readers interested in experimenting with psychic photography, requiring a 35mm camera with a lens that can be kept open for short periods. A complete set of instructions, diagrams, and processing guidance is available for $3.00, plus tax for Florida residents, by sending a self-addressed envelope to T. L. Allison in Pinellas Park, Florida.

UFO 'Traffic Control?'

This report details a sighting by Richard Golding in Santa Cruz, California, on September 1, 1976. Golding observed a silvery-grey saucer-shaped object, approximately 10 feet across and eight feet high, land at the intersection of Center Street and Walnut around 3 a.m. The object reportedly emitted a clicking sound and green gas before disappearing. A smoke-like cloud hung in the air for a time before descending.

Youth Claims Seeing 2 Green Men from UFO

In Malone, Wisconsin, on August 5, 1976, a youth named Mark reported that a UFO landed on a farm, and two green men were briefly seen before they disappeared. Mark stated he saw the men when he shone his car's headlights on the area, and they then vanished.

Strange 'Gypsy-Like' Ufonauts!

This article describes an encounter reported by Michael Lusignan, a 38-year-old patent examiner from Arlington, Virginia, in Georgetown Clear Creek, Colorado, on June 18, 1976. While lost near Echo Lake, Lusignan reported seeing two rectangular objects float down from the clouds. He then encountered about 15 men, women, and children dressed like gypsies or American Indians, who were whispering in an unintelligible language. The report notes that no details were provided on how the vehicle or occupants left the scene.

Alien Being Photographed?

Witnesses from a remote community in Italy claim to have captured the image of a genuine visitor from outer space on film. Ufologist Stellio Asso, along with his daughter Maria Grazia and artist Roberto Molino, reportedly photographed a 'small man' just under 4 feet tall, wearing black overalls. The being had two upward-slanted slits for eyes and disappeared right before their eyes. The source is cited as the National Examiner, dated January 6, 1977.

Unexpected Photographic Effects

This section, featuring photographs reprinted with permission from Trevor James' book 'The Cosmic Pulse of Life', focuses on capturing invisible objects in the skies. The reader is encouraged to be aware that the images depict objects photographed directly from an invisible state.

Bravo #3: Strange, Plasmatic Fauna

In January 1959, near Mt. Wilson, California, strange, plasmatic fauna, invisible to normal human sight, were photographed. The author used a Praktica FX-2 camera with high-speed infrared film, exposing at f1.9 and 1/100 second. These organisms are described as pulsating and changing form when spuriously visible, and are suggested to account for numerous UFO reports.

Little Red Critter

In November 1975, the author photographed an invisible critter from an airliner at 30,000 feet between San Jose and Long Beach, California. Using a 'dark spectrum' technique with Super 8mm Ektachrome 160 film, four successive photos were taken, showing the critter 'warping out' or shrinking from perceptibility. The 'dark spectrum' technique involves placing an 18A filter over the camera lens to create artificial darkness, allowing UFOs and critters to appear on film in full color.

Bioforms in Movies

Frames from infrared motion picture footage show bioforms around the author in the Mojave Desert, California, before sunrise. These bioforms reportedly change shape, position, and divide at tremendous speeds, with the entire sequence occurring in approximately a quarter of a second. The author suggests that these materializations into the infrared occur in response to specific positions, motions, and orientations of a 'target human', and that similar factors govern UFO materializations.

Bravo #1: Fusiform, Invisible UFO

On April 5, 1958, near dawn, a fusiform, invisible UFO was photographed with unfiltered high-speed infrared film near Giant Rock, California. The object had a luminous corona, and the author contends that many such cigar-shaped UFOs are living organisms from a 'critter' family of invisible atmospheric denizens.

UFO 'Occupants'!

This section presents various drawings of alleged UFO occupants reported from around the world. Included are depictions from South America (sketch by Kigne Sanchez Vera), a drawing by Hal Crawford of an occupant from Rawlings, Wyoming, U.S.A., the Kelly-Hopkinsville 'Goblin' based on a U.S. Air Force sketch, and an occupant from Sweden.

Building a Large Backyard Pyramid?

This advertisement offers blueprints for building a large backyard pyramid for maximum energy, suggesting a combination of Cheops with a special lamination process and an antenna to refocus cosmic or etheric light. Blueprints for outdoor and indoor antennas are available for $20.00 and $8.00 respectively, or information can be obtained from Dean E. Hardy in Allegan, Michigan.

The Pyramid Guide

This section promotes 'The Pyramid Guide', an international bi-monthly newsletter. It claims that pyramid replicas and free energy accumulators produce supranormal phenomena such as mummification, sharpening, levitation, and auric field alteration. A sample copy and resume are offered for 50¢, with a one-year subscription costing $6.00 ($10.00 foreign airmail).

Amazing Discovery in the Bahamas

Divers near Bimini uncovered an ancient wall buried under four feet of sand in 30 feet of emerald blue water. The Bahamas Antiquities Institute is planning a major excavation and research of the site, believed to be the first evidence of a sunken prehistoric city in Bahamian waters.

Pyramid Kit

An advertisement for a 'Pyramid Kit' is featured, which includes four cast aluminum corner fittings, one cast aluminum apex fitting, and an assembly manual. The kit allows for the construction of any size pyramid from 2 to 10-foot bases, with fittings designed to duplicate the angles of the Great Pyramid of Cheops. The kit costs $29.95 postpaid and is available from 'GREAT PYRAMID CONSPIRACY' in Seattle, Washington.

Heaven and Hell by Emanuel Swedenborg

This is an advertisement for Emanuel Swedenborg's book 'Heaven and Hell', introduced by Colin Wilson. It is described as a comprehensive description of life hereafter based on Swedenborg's spiritual experiences. The paperback version is 426 pages and costs $2.25, available from the Swedenborg Foundation, Inc. in New York.

I'm Putting You On To Something!

Dewey Cummings shares an anecdote where his son explains the significance of a 'biocosmic generator' which is a replica of the Great Pyramid of Giza. The son asserts that the Great Pyramid is more than a tomb; it is a structure of immense engineering and architectural complexity, possibly not built by humans. He explains that scientists are studying the pyramid's ability to alter light energy by using Earth's magnetic field and cosmic energies to produce a high-frequency energy, termed 'bio-cosmic' or 'Pyramid Energy'. This energy is said to be beneficial for humans, animals, and plants, aiding in ESP, meditation, and promoting faster growth.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO phenomena, paranormal photography, alleged encounters with non-human entities, and the exploration of esoteric energies, particularly those associated with pyramids. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting eyewitness accounts, purported evidence, and speculative theories without overt skepticism, aiming to inform and intrigue readers interested in the unexplained and the 'paraphysical'. The magazine acts as a platform for sharing such accounts and promoting related products and services within the New Age and ufology communities.

This issue of "Treasures" magazine, dated September 1976 (Volume 4, No. 1), published by New Atlantean Headquarters, explores a range of paranormal and unexplained phenomena, with a strong focus on UFOs and ancient mysteries. The cover headline "Treasures AND UFOs" sets the tone, hinting at the interconnectedness of hidden knowledge and extraterrestrial encounters.

Articles and Features

Pyramid Energy: A Bio-Cosmic Generator?

The issue opens with a personal account of "Pyramid Energy," presented as a revolutionary force that can purify and improve substances, heal ailments, and even enhance life. The author, who claims to be a state distributor for "Pyramid House" in Miami, describes experiments where a small pyramid generator purified water and wine, strengthened plants, and remarkably, healed his mother-in-law's painful, stiff hand, enabling her to play the piano again. He asserts that Pyramid Energy has revolutionized his life, bringing less stress, improved health, and a new career, suggesting that one day it might be recognized as a "bio-cosmic generator."

The Hopis Get Prophecy Sign From UFOs

This reprinted article from NAJ discusses how UFO sightings near Prescott, Arizona, and the Hopi village of Hotevilla are interpreted by traditionalist Hopi leaders as signs of the approaching "Purification Day." Chief Dan Katchongva of Hotevilla explains that Hopi legends, including petroglyphs and ancient guidance by a star (now believed to be a flying saucer), foretell this event. The prophecy includes the division of land and a coming "True White Brother." Mrs. Tawangyawma estimates Purification Day is within the current generation. The way to escape destruction is to "go back to their teachings." The event will be preceded by a massive explosion of natural causes, possibly a volcanic eruption, followed by a migration of Indians to Oraibi. The Hopi believe the saucers are piloted by Kachinas.

The Migrations of the Atlanteans

Authored by Maxine Asher and reprinted from NAJ, this article explores theories about the origins and migrations of ancient cultures, particularly focusing on Atlantis and Lemuria. It suggests that Atlantis may have spanned the Atlantic, extending from Ireland to the Bahamas and moving towards Mexico and Honduras. Another theory posits that survivors of a Pacific continent, Lemuria or Mu, migrated to California and then down to Mexico. The article highlights giant megalithic heads in Guatemala as evidence of early pre-Olmec survivors of an ocean culture. It also considers the possibility of Mayan origins from the final Atlantean holocaust around 11,000 B.C., noting similarities between Mayan characteristics and Atlantean traits, as well as comparisons between Mayan glyphs and the Phaistos Disc. The underwater Atlantean temple blocks at Bimini Island and other archaeological findings are cited as corroborating evidence. The author concludes that the migratory patterns of Atlanteans remain a puzzle requiring written records for validation.

Treasures AND UFOs

This article by Joan O'Connell explores the intriguing connection between treasure hunting and UFO sightings, particularly in Florida. It mentions the ongoing search for lost golden bars at White Sands, New Mexico, where Dr. Daniel Fry had his first encounter with a landed saucer in the 1950s. The article highlights the Brooksville, Florida area as a site with "portals" or "windows" and numerous UFO reports, including a famous landing case involving John Reeves. It also notes that treasure hunters are often found in the same areas where UFO reports are prevalent. The author mentions local tales of "lost cities," Indian inscriptions, and even Roman coins found in Florida, suggesting a rich history of both terrestrial and potentially extraterrestrial interest in the region. The piece concludes by posing the question: "Who is chasing What? Depends on what you are searching or researching!"

The Florida Research Report (FRR)

Compiled by Joan O'Connell from reports sent to New Atlantean Headquarters, this section provides a chronological list of various phenomena reported in Florida between September 1976 and February 1977. Incidents include Bigfoot sightings, UFO reports from various cities (Jacksonville, Tampa, Live Oak, Coral Gables, Palatka), a "Sea Monster" report, a search for a missing shrimp boat, the discovery of microscopic magnetic particles in the Gulf, fish kills, whale deaths, "skyquakes" (booms and quivers), a disabled cruise ship in Miami, and an "Adamksi" type of UFO seen in Brooksville.

UFO Abduction Cases: Is There a Role for Hypnotherapy?

Authored by Bryan Dickeson, this article examines the use of hypnotherapy in investigating UFO abduction cases. It notes the controversy surrounding the reliability of hypnotic testimony, as psychologists generally agree that what a person says under hypnosis is a representation of their beliefs, not necessarily actual fact. The article points out that some early abduction cases, like the Betty and Barney Hill incident, have faced challenges upon re-evaluation. It criticizes the "glib" use of hypnotherapy by some UFO investigators, suggesting it can be used to push biases rather than gather objective information due to "improper" questioning. The author outlines common similarities in abduction accounts, including the sighting of a UFO, feelings of fear and immobility, being taken into the UFO for examination, and then finding oneself outside again. It also notes characteristics in abductees that resemble catatonic schizophrenia, such as agitation, a need to justify the incident, hallucinatory activity, and a distorted sense of time. The article emphasizes the importance of careful recording of hypnotic sessions to preserve details before they are affected by time and publicity, and stresses the need for investigators to be more thorough and sympathetic towards abductees.

The Hidden Purposes of the Great Pyramid

This article by Michael C. Heleus, "As Revealed By Astrosonic Resonances," proposes a new method for understanding the purposes of ancient structures like the Great Pyramid of Gizeh. It introduces "Astrosonics," defined as "star-sound," a discovery from 1973 that suggests reproducing the periodic motions of planets as sound can create astrological effects. The author suggests that by correlating ideas and frequencies with specific lengths, one can understand why certain lengths were used in structures like the Great Pyramid. The article notes that the base length of the Great Pyramid (9141.1 British inches) and its diagonal (12,927.5 inches) show a correspondence to the speed of sound. It also mentions Peter Tompkins' observation that the Pyramid's base corresponds to the distance the earth turns in half a second, suggesting a possible connection between levitation by sound and the construction of the Pyramid. The article indicates that the discussion will continue in a future issue.

Medical Parascience: The New Preventive Medicine

This advertisement promotes "Parapsychic Systems," led by Henry Stowers, Ph.D., which blends esoteric sciences like biofeedback, I Ching, Tarot, biorhythms, and medical astrology with standard medical practices. They offer diagnostic counseling and educational services. The ad also includes contact information for Parapsychic Systems in Morse Mill, MO.

The Power of the Pyramids

This section features a personal testimonial from Rev. Dr. Paul L Lynch, a "World-renowned psychic," describing how placing a pyramid under his chair and on his head has increased his strength, vitality, thought forms, brain stimulation, reflexes, and psychic powers. He claims to be more "Cosmic-Aware" and refreshed. The testimonial also includes an offer to purchase pyramids from "Temple of Divine Living" in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the unexplained, the paranormal, and ancient wisdom, often linking them to UFO phenomena. There's a clear interest in alternative explanations for reality, including "Pyramid Energy," ancient prophecies, extraterrestrial contact, and the potential of the human mind and consciousness (as explored through hypnotherapy and psychic abilities). The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting various theories and personal accounts, while also acknowledging the need for careful research and critical evaluation, particularly concerning the use of hypnotherapy. The inclusion of reprinted articles suggests an effort to draw from a broader pool of research and perspectives within the UFO and paranormal community.

This issue of the magazine, though not explicitly titled, focuses on Dewey Cummings, presented as a "SCIENTIST - MYSTIC SPEAKER ON PYRAMID ENERGY." The cover prominently features a portrait of Cummings and highlights his engaging speaking style and frequent appearances on television and radio. The publication appears to be distributed by Pyramid House, Inc., with contact information provided for speaking engagements.

Dewey Cummings: Scientist, Mystic, Speaker

The main article introduces Dewey Cummings as a captivating speaker who educates and entertains his audience. He is known for demonstrating the effects of "Pyramid Energy" by erecting an open-sided pyramid and inviting audience members to sit beneath it. The article describes varied reactions, including giddiness and trancelike states, noting that those who resist the effects are often the most amusing. Cummings is praised for his ability to read audience reactions, interjecting humorous or serious insights at opportune moments, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats.

Testimonials from a veteran booker and a syndicated columnist highlight Cummings' unique approach. The booker found him "most interesting and to be one of the most knowledgeable people speaking from your own experiences." The columnist described him as "refreshingly" direct, without trying to "convert anybody," and noted his lectures have produced "unforgettable results." He is described as a West Point graduate, well-versed in physics and metaphysics, and a "most interesting gent."

Background and Philosophy

The article delves into Dewey Cummings' unique background. He was an outstanding scholar who earned an appointment to West Point. After graduating with a Science and Engineering degree, he advanced in private industry, becoming a respected engineer and creative thinker. He also purchased secret technical equipment for the U.S. armed services.

During the 1960s, Cummings became a highly paid consultant, specializing in solving complex business problems. It was during this period that he realized he had acquired knowledge from unknown sources and had previously used psychokinetic powers for feats of physical prowess, such as boxing and archery. This realization dramatically altered his life.

He renounced the use of psychic energies until he could understand their origin and proper usage, believing them to be potentially dangerous. He then began an intensive study of scientific, psychological, and metaphysical subjects. This led him to become fascinated with pyramids and their energies. He conducted numerous experiments with a detached, scientific attitude, making new discoveries and finding his life's mission.

Pyramid House, Inc. and Pyramid Energy

Currently, Dewey Cummings dedicates his time to working with pyramid energies, emphasizing their usefulness to people of all backgrounds. He founded Pyramid House, Inc., a firm organized to distribute tested and guaranteed, inexpensive devices that produce Pyramid Energy more effectively than other devices. He serves as President and guiding force of the organization, utilizing the firm's products in his research. With ample access to Pyramid Energy and extensive contacts with other researchers, he is positioned as a leader in his field.

Cummings' emergence as a speaker is attributed to his subject matter, scientific expertise, informal and humorous manner, and dynamic personality. These qualities combine to make him respected and enjoyed by diverse audiences in various settings, from colleges to conventions.

Advertisement: The Rosicrucians (AMORC)

Page two features an advertisement for a free book titled "The Unpublished Facts of Life" and "The Mastery of Life," offered by The Rosicrucians (AMORC). This organization is described as an "age-old brotherhood of learning," not a religious organization. The advertisement suggests that hidden truths about personal power, accomplishment, and the mastery of life's problems have been preserved in their archives for centuries. They invite interested individuals to write for the free book, which promises to explain how to use one's faculties and powers of mind. A coupon is provided for sending requests to Scribe MHE at The Rosicrucians (AMORC) in San Jose, California.

Another address listed is for THE NEW ATLANTEAN RESEARCH SOCIETY in Pinellas Park, Florida, which also appears to be related to the distribution of information or materials.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The primary theme of this issue is the exploration and promotion of "Pyramid Energy" through the charismatic figure of Dewey Cummings. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting esoteric and metaphysical concepts, particularly those related to ancient structures and their purported energies, presented in an accessible and entertaining manner. There is a clear emphasis on personal empowerment and the unlocking of hidden human potential. The inclusion of the Rosicrucian advertisement further reinforces the magazine's focus on ancient wisdom, self-discovery, and the pursuit of knowledge beyond conventional scientific understanding. The overall tone is one of fascination with the unexplained and a belief in the existence of untapped human capabilities and energies.
