Editorial: A "Weird Encounter"

The editorial, written by Joan O'Connell, recounts a bizarre encounter reported by six members of an army patrol in the Chilean desert on April 25, 1977. Two bright objects descended from the sky, with one landing in the Andes foothills and another hovering near the patrol. The leader who investigated vanished and reappeared later, exhibiting time loss, memory loss, and a five-day advancement on his watch, along with beard growth. O'Connell suggests that such cases are typical of mental and physical contact, but notes the unusual physical manifestation of beard growth. She proposes a unique investigative approach: "REVERSE all the logic that you had previously arrived at!" She argues that contactees are often given one story, but a different reality exists, likening it to a tactic to mislead investigators away from a terrestrial UFO base.

Letters to the Editor

Several letters discuss various topics:

• Sylvia Berl (Ca.): Comments on a cover drawing, theorizing it represents telepathic waves and currents used by Earthlings to communicate with other contactees and galaxies, emanating from the sun.
• Ralph Randall (San Jose, Ca.): Renews his subscription and expresses enjoyment of articles on discoveries in the Bahamas and a "huge Sphinx" in Wyoming.
• Mary and TAL Levesque: Praised as "true explorers" for their work, including the "Sphinx" discovery.
• Dr. Valentine: Hailed as a "true pioneer in the field of Atlantean Re-Discovery."
• John Davies (Orland Park, Ill.): Proposes a law to protect Bigfoot from being hunted, believing they exist.
• Joan O'Connell: Responds to John Davies, stating that a similar bill was rejected by the Florida legislature due to a lack of strong credibility for the subject, but expresses continued support for protecting Bigfoot.

Strange News

This section presents a collection of unusual news items:

• Russian Woman Fights Death's Call: Sofia Misilevich in Moscow reportedly died and revived 24 times, a phenomenon Tass called "beyond the limits of usual notions of medicine."
• 5 Husbands Lost to the Vampire: In South Sumatra, a 25-year-old woman was suspected of being possessed by a vampire after her five husbands died of acute anemia.
• Jesus Heir to Fortune: A retired schoolmaster in London left over $44,000 for Jesus Christ, to be held for 80 years.
• A God is Acquitted of Murder: An elephant in Nepal, believed to represent the Hindu god Ganesh, was found not guilty of murdering two peasants.

• U.S. and Russia to Study Bermuda Triangle: The Soviet Union and the United States will cooperate on a study of the Bermuda Triangle, involving nine Soviet vessels in a project called "Polymode."

"The Old People" and Ancient Civilizations

An article titled "SASQUATCH, BIGFOOT, YETI, 'EARTH GUARDIANS', ANCIENT AND PRESENT: 'THE OLD PEOPLE'" discusses beings who have been on Earth longer than humans. It posits that humans are not native to Earth but evolved from native creatures. These "Old People" are described as highly evolved, capable of materializing and dematerializing at will, and often residing in underground installations built by early Earth colonizers. They protect their homes with mind force fields. The article suggests that humans must establish a working relationship with the Old People to explore ancient sites. It also touches upon "Space Brothers and Sisters" who interact with the Old People, sometimes exchanging cattle parts for nutritional supplements for the Old People, which humans might perceive as mutilation.

Books and Services Advertised

Several advertisements appear for New Age related materials:

• Books by THE NEW AGE ASSEMBLY: "THE PATH OF THE RAINBOW" ($3.95), "THE END OF THE RAINBOW" ($2.95), and "BRIGHT NEW WORLD" ($2.35).
• XAT Medicine Society of Seattle: Offers high-quality pow-wow drums and hand drums.

Pyramid Power: A Sub-Atomic Energy to Expand Consciousness

An article by Dean Hardy explores "PYRAMID POWER: A SUB-ATOMIC ENERGY TO EXPAND CONSCIOUSNESS". Hardy suggests the Great Pyramid of Giza was built to help expand human consciousness by acting as an antenna that refocuses light into sub-atomic particles, referred to as cosmic light, orgone energy, or life energies. Achieving "Oneness" with this energy can lead to entering the sub-atomic or etheric world, where time and space cease to exist. He notes that the builders understood mathematics and Earth's dimensions far beyond modern science. Hardy describes building a large pyramid in Allegan, Michigan, designed as an antenna to refocus light. He mentions that entering the pyramid can cause a sensation due to increased electrical impulses in the nervous system, and visitors have reported distortions of time, contact with entities, and accelerated clairvoyance.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The New Atlantean Journal consistently explores themes of the unexplained, ancient mysteries, extraterrestrial phenomena (UFOs), and alternative energies (Pyramid Energy). The editorial stance, particularly in the editorial section, encourages critical and unconventional thinking, advocating for reversing established logic when analyzing paranormal events. The journal also demonstrates an interest in ancient civilizations, psychic phenomena, and the potential for human consciousness expansion. The publication appears to be a platform for disseminating theories and reports on subjects often considered fringe or pseudoscientific, aiming to inform and intrigue its readership about the "unknown, unexplained, and unexplored."

This issue of "The Cosmic Pulse" (Issue 9) features a collection of articles exploring topics related to unexplained phenomena, ancient mysteries, and alternative science. The content spans from personal experiences with pyramid energy to in-depth archaeological investigations and discussions on potential extraterrestrial influences.

Pyramids as Antennas and Consciousness Expanders

The issue opens with a personal account of experiencing the "Music of the Spheres" within a pyramid and the belief that one must develop attunement to receive energy from such sources. The author recounts building a pyramid for his dyslexic son, based on plans from Kenneth Killick of Ottawa, Canada. The article posits that pyramids are antennas, originally built to expand consciousness, and that their effectiveness is related to light frequencies. It suggests that modern knowledge allows for the construction of smaller, home-based pyramid models. The concept of the human aura is linked to this energy field, with Kirlian photography cited as proof of its existence and ability to capture energy emanating from objects like pyramids.

Advertisements offer blueprints for building pyramid antennas and generators, promoting "SuperMental Knowledge" and "Mystifying Pyramid Energy."

Underwater Archeology in the Bahamas: The Bimini Road

A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to an article by Dr. J. Manson Valentine, reprinted from the "Explorers Journal," titled "Underwater Archeology in the Bahamas." Valentine presents a theory that if the submerged plateaus of the Bahamas were once dry land, they might yield signs of ancient human occupation. His research, spanning nearly twenty years, involved photographic surveys and dives, particularly along the western chain of Bahama keys. He describes numerous bottom patterns suggesting human fabrication, including straight lines, double-margined tracks, and geometric configurations.

Of particular interest is the discovery off the northwest coast of North Bimini on September 2, 1968, where Valentine and companions found an extensive pavement of rectangular and polygonal stones, arranged in what appeared to be engineered courses. These stones, some large and rounded, others smaller forming a mosaic-like pavement, are compared to megalithic work. Valentine notes that the "Bimini Road" complex is oriented fourteen degrees out of parallel with the natural beach rock.

Subsequent investigations, including those by oceanographer Dimitri Rebikoff using his underwater vehicle "Pegasus," have recorded extensive stone work, with the main causeway measured at over three hundred meters. Rebikoff's findings tend to confirm the artifactual character of the site. However, some marine geologists have proposed natural explanations, suggesting the stones are simply king-sized slabs arranged by nature. Valentine counters this by highlighting specific characteristics that defy natural formation: the flint-hard micrite of the stones, their straight-sided and parallel courses, the angled avenue, the curved corner, and the overall rectilinear configurations.

Valentine speculates on the function of these structures, suggesting they might have served as ceremonial centers, drawing parallels to other ancient sites worldwide like those in England and Peru. The article notes that the "Bimini Road" phenomenon is still emerging from the seabed, with features like a wall becoming the side of a huge triangle and a rectangular area appearing.

The article concludes by stating that Dr. Valentine's article will continue in the December issue, including photos of "Spur" or "arrow" symbols, hexagonal rings, and other formations.

Other Articles and Features

"Could it be possible?"

This section continues the discussion on the Bimini findings, suggesting that such majestic artifacts are incomprehensible unless one considers extraterrestrial intervention or metaphysically generated energies. The author notes changes in the seabed since 1958, with new, unnatural features becoming visible, possibly due to shifting sediments. These include straight divisions, right angles, and triangles, as well as abutting rectangles on a grand scale. The article also mentions paired dark lines and a large rectangular area on the east side of North Island.

"The Cross and the 'Energy' Photo"

This section presents a photograph taken by Judy Luckwell at a seaside service in St. Petersburg, Florida, which she interprets as a manifestation of energy following a healing, representing the risen Christ. Others have interpreted the image differently, seeing a Buddha, a church, or an outer-space creature.

"ALPHA #1"

This is a description of an "amoeba-like invisible UFO" photographed by the author on August 25, 1957, in the Mojave Desert. Five successive photographs were taken using infrared film, capturing the object's movement and its relation to local terrain. The object was described as not directly tangible.

"The Americas Have Egyptian Roots"

Authored by Dr. Ron Anjard, this article challenges the traditional view of history, suggesting that early visitors to America included not only Vikings but also Celts, Iberians, Libyans, Phoenicians, and Egyptians, predating Columbus. Evidence cited includes the Davenport Calendar Stele from Iowa, which bears inscriptions in Egyptian hieroglyphs, Iberian-Punic, and Libyan. Other examples include a dedication to the god Bel in Vermont and bilingual inscriptions found on the Cimmarron River in Oklahoma, linking Egyptian and Libyan languages. The article also mentions Libyan inscriptions in the southwest and their connection to the Zuni people.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of ancient mysteries, unexplained phenomena, alternative theories of history, and spiritual or energetic concepts. There is a clear editorial stance favoring the investigation of unconventional ideas, including extraterrestrial influence, ancient advanced civilizations (like Atlantis), and the potential for human consciousness to interact with subtle energies. The publication appears to cater to an audience interested in ufology, archaeology, and esoteric or spiritual subjects, often presenting evidence and theories that challenge mainstream scientific and historical consensus. The inclusion of advertisements for related books, services, and products reinforces this focus.

This issue of UFO Magazine, dated April 18, 1977, with the cover headline "DID PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER ACTUALLY SEE A UFO?", delves into a variety of topics related to ancient mysteries, unexplained phenomena, and potential government disclosures.

Ancient Civilizations and Extraterrestrial Contact

The magazine explores theories suggesting significant ancient Egyptian influence in the Americas, predating Columbus by 2500 years. It highlights linguistic similarities, such as the Micmac language being 60% Egyptian and the Wabanaki language being 40% Egyptian, and notes the use of hieratic scripts similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs. Evidence presented includes ancient Pima chants with Arabic vocabulary, suggesting creolized dialects from Arabic provinces. The article posits Egyptian influence in various North American regions, including Nova Scotia, New England, Oklahoma, and Iowa, with ancient Libyans established in the Southwest and West. Other ancient visitors mentioned include Celts, Iberians, Israelites, and Romans.

Mayan Evidence

The connection between Egyptian and Mayan civilizations is explored through circumstantial evidence. Similarities in pyramid structures, with Central America having three times as many pyramids as Egypt, are noted. Both cultures are described as great astronomers, observing stars from dark cells within temples. The Mayan calendar is stated to begin at 3374 BC, making it their 5351st year, which aligns with ancient historians' dating of the 1st Dynasty of Egypt around 3200 BC. The extensive carving of hieroglyphs on Mayan structures and a peculiar Egyptian-like feature on a colossal head found at La Venta, Mexico (a speaking tube from a giant ear between stone lips), are cited. The article claims Mayan, Hebrew, and Egyptian languages had only consonants, and that Quipas (knotted cords) were used as mnemonic devices by Aztecs, pre-Incas, Mayans, and Egyptians, as well as the Chinese. Further evidence points to extensive contact between Mayans and Phoenicians.

Pyramidology and Astrosonics

Tal Levesque presents "The Painted Pyramid Theory," suggesting that the Great Pyramid was once painted with dazzling colors, with red ochre paint found on remaining stones. An experiment is proposed involving painting a pyramid with bands of color corresponding to planets, sounds, and smells, noting their symbolism. A connection is drawn between the mathematical design of the Great Pyramid and the types of craft seen by George Adamski and George W. Van Tassel.

Michael Heleus' article, "SUMMARY OF REMAINDER OF PYRAMID 'ASTROSONICS' ARTICLE," posits that the pyramid's base diagonals suggest levitation was used in its construction. It argues that the pyramid's dimensions are related to cosmic cycles and planetary periods, particularly the Jupiter-Saturn cycle, which influences business cycles and astrology. The Great Pyramid is described as a transceiver for planetary energies, capable of being manipulated or rebroadcast, acting as a giant talisman. The article also mentions the significance of the King's Chamber coffer and the resonance of the chamber to the Schumann resonance, linked to altered states of awareness. The builders are credited with incorporating cosmic forces and mathematical constants like pi and the Golden Mean into the pyramid's design to create a cosmic model for societal transformation.

Strange Things and Monster Mania

The "MONSTER MANIA!" section compiles various unusual and unexplained reports:

• The "Ear-Eater": A strange animal in Jasper County, Mississippi, reportedly ate the ears off hogs cleanly.
• Bird Attacks: In California, swallows and gray swifts attacked homes and chimneys in an unexplained frenzy, spreading southward.
• Shark Capture: A mysterious 12-foot shark with a glowing mouth was captured near Hawaii.
• Giant Squid: Speculation that giant squid may be taking over the Pacific Ocean due to the decline of sperm whales, potentially leading to attacks on small boats.
• Outbreak of Worms: Millions of reddish-green worms appeared in Venice's Grand Canal.
• Giant Skunks: Reported in Java, these skunks are described as being as large as German Shepherd dogs and capable of climbing trees.
• "Loch Ness Monster" Reports: Similar mysterious creatures were reported in a remote mountain lake in Soviet Central Asia and a Canadian lake near Montreal. A Japanese creature named "KUSSIE" was also mentioned.
• Fence-Leaper and Deer Disembowler: A creature in Mill Valley, California, reportedly walked on hind legs, screeched, and left behind disemboweled deer carcasses.

UFOs and Government Disclosure

The cover story highlights that President Jimmy Carter, while Governor of Georgia in 1973, was reported to have witnessed a UFO. During his presidential campaign in 1976, he promised to release government information on UFOs. The article references a "U.S. News & World Report" item from April 18, 1977, suggesting the government might make "unsettling disclosures" about UFOs, reversing previous official policy. The magazine promotes three recordings: "THE UFO MESSAGE," "REVELATION 666," and "SECRET SEA," claiming they contain comprehensive information about UFOs, biblical codes, and explanations for phenomena like the Bermuda Triangle.

Other Features

• The Mystery of Medicine Wheel, Wyoming: This section discusses the "Indian Medicine Wheel," a large stone circle in Wyoming, and shares a legend about a wheel descending from the sky, leaving behind stones arranged in a pattern.
• The Crystal Skull: The article describes a famed crystal skull, possibly of Atlantean or Phoenician origin, recovered from Mayan ruins. It notes its craftsmanship and potential use by the Knights Templar.
• Florida Research Report: This segment mentions the Florida Research Report (FRR) and its upcoming presentation of drawings by a woman abducted by an entity with unusually long fingers.
• Space Talk!: A column for readers to ask questions, contact researchers, and search for lost information. It includes an example of how to build a scaled-down model of the Cheops pyramid for sharpening razors.
• Advertisements: Various advertisements appear for esoteric knowledge publications (NOSTICA), pyramid products (Cheops Pyramid Company), occult supplies (ESP Laboratory), and special recordings related to UFOs and biblical prophecies.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes the idea of ancient extraterrestrial contact influencing human civilization, particularly through Egyptian and Mayan cultures. It champions the exploration of unexplained phenomena, UFOs, and alternative theories regarding ancient structures like the Great Pyramid. There is a strong emphasis on the potential for government disclosure of UFO information, positioning the magazine and its promoted materials as sources of truth. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-minded inquiry into mysteries, ancient history, and paranormal events, encouraging readers to question official narratives and explore esoteric knowledge.

This issue of "Health Guide for Survival" is a compilation of articles focusing on alternative health methods, paranormal phenomena, and future predictions. The magazine is presented as a guide for readers seeking to understand and improve their health and well-being through unconventional means.

Health Guide for Survival: The Dr. Carey Reams Method

The lead article, "Health Guide for Survival" by Salem Kirban, introduces the revolutionary urine/saliva test developed by Dr. Carey Reams, a biophysicist. Kirban recounts his personal experience undergoing this test, which he claims can accurately determine present and future health problems without any physical examination. Dr. Reams' method involves analyzing urine and saliva to understand body chemistry and then suggesting a specific diet, often involving a 3-day fast with lemon-water and distilled water, to restore the body to its normal range. The article highlights Dr. Reams' success in helping individuals with serious conditions such as cancer, heart trouble, arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, leukemia, and breast cancer, emphasizing that healing is attributed to God and the body's life forces, not direct medical treatment by Dr. Reams.

Kirban shares several compelling quotes from "Health Guide for Survival," including warnings about hidden heart attack dangers, the accuracy of Dr. Reams' tests, and the effectiveness of his dietary approach for various ailments. He mentions specific cases, such as a dentist with leukemia who recovered, and emphasizes that leukemia is one of the easiest conditions to correct. The article also touches upon the importance of proper nutrition, criticizing the use of vitamins as a crutch and stating that cobalt and chemotherapy are harmful.

Measuring Pyramid Energy

Dewey Cummings, writing in "The Cummings Corner," details his method for measuring "Pyramid Energy" (PE) using a pendulum with a small pyramid attached. He explains that traditional methods for checking PE products were unreliable. Cummings discovered that when the pyramid pendulum is held over a properly aligned pyramid, it exhibits specific movements, including circling and then swinging on a north-south axis. He developed a system of measurement called 'pyrens,' based on the diameter of the circle the pendulum makes, to quantify the PE output of various items. He notes that some items he expected to be potent were not, and vice versa. He also found that the pendulum would not function if suspended from an external support or if the chain was insulated from his fingers, suggesting a direct connection is necessary.

Future Destruction and Cataclysms

This section presents a stark warning about impending global issues. An article titled "FUTURE DESTRUCTION" and "CATACLYSMS: Their Warnings" discusses a CIA report that predicts significant global political and economic upheaval due to climate changes. The report indicates that the world has entered a period of adverse weather that will reduce crop production and lead to widespread famine. The cause cited is additional solar radiation penetrating the Earth's atmosphere. The unfavorable weather is expected to last for at least 40 years, potentially centuries. The report, based on a study by Dr. Reid A. Bryson, forecasts major droughts in India, famines in China, and the loss of Soviet wheat fields in Kazakhstan.

Accompanying this are two photo-essays. "Waiting for water" shows the effects of drought in Northern California, with officials making emergency plans to buy water and residents being asked to conserve. The image depicts a dry reservoir and cracked earth.

Ghosts & Poltergeists

This section explores various paranormal accounts:

• Psychic Energy Troubling? (Virginia): Virginia state police are investigating a mysterious eruption in a mountain home where objects were moved and furniture toppled. Dr. J.G. Pratt, a professor at the University of Virginia Medical School, suggests the phenomenon may involve the discharge of psychic energy from a 9-year-old foster child under stress.
• The Spook Spot! (New Guinea): Ghosts of two taxi drivers are reported to appear nightly in Port Moresby. One ghost is described as having a dead man's face, while the other, who died in an accident, is heard rattling doors and windows.
• Jazz Group Claims a Ghost!: Entertainers in Shanklin, Isle of Wight, claim a ghost wearing mutton-chop whiskers and a gray suit is ruining their acts and want it exorcised.
• Dr. Spook? A Ghost Haunts BMA! (London): The British Medical Association headquarters is reportedly haunted by a shimmering, veiled figure, possibly connected to the former home of novelist Charles Dickens.

The section invites readers to share their own "Spook" stories.

Astral Projection is Real!

This article discusses "Astral Sounds," which are claimed to automatically trigger out-of-body experiences (OBEs). Listening to these sounds is said to stimulate a pleasure center in the mind, creating a warm vibration and leading to visions, peak experiences, and enhanced psychic ability. The article asserts that "Astral Sounds" are the newest, easiest, and most effective method for astral projection, with thousands of tape cassettes in use worldwide by individuals, medical professionals, and institutions. The tapes are fully guaranteed against defects.

A Secret Method for the Mastery of Life

This section features an advertisement for a free book from The Rosicrucians (AMORC) titled "A SECRET METHOD FOR THE MASTERY OF LIFE." The book is said to reveal knowledge that built the pyramids and temples, focusing on secret methods for developing inner power and mastering life through the application of natural laws. The Rosicrucians state they are not a religious organization and offer the book without obligation to those with a sincere desire to improve their lives.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are alternative health practices, the potential for self-healing through unconventional methods (like Dr. Reams' test and Rosicrucian teachings), and the exploration of the unknown, including paranormal phenomena and psychic abilities. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting skepticism towards conventional approaches and advocating for the exploration of these alternative paths, presenting them as potentially more effective or insightful. There is a strong emphasis on personal empowerment and the discovery of hidden knowledge for self-improvement and survival in a world facing potential crises.
