Featured Content

Book Review: 'No Death?'

The journal features an advertisement for the book 'No Death?' by George W. Meek. The book is described as a comprehensive examination of the question of whether physical death is the end of consciousness. It claims to offer a calm and objective appraisal of ideas, searching for correspondences with world religions, and asserting that death is not the end, even suggesting reasons why individuals cannot truly die. Critics in six countries have praised the book for its brilliance and its exploration of creativity, consciousness, religion, and science.

Letters to the Editor

The 'Letters to the Editor' section showcases reader engagement with the journal's content. Evan Teller offers two fundamental thoughts: one on how Ouija responses are influenced by personal desires and the need for psychology to address this, and another suggesting that Edgar Cayce's predictions are often parabolic and that 'Earth Changes' signify shifts in man-made social behavior, with a warning about a 'sportsman's goal' to take over the Earth. Ed Bielfeldt expresses his strong liking for the magazine and renews his subscription for three years. D. M. Beauregard, a new subscriber, shares his enthusiasm for the journal's content and his anticipation for future issues. Jim Heit writes about an article on Mt. Shasta and a person named Bonnie, seeking to connect with the author or Bonnie herself, mentioning a 'special birth' on the mountain. The editor responds, confirming that William Hamilton, the author of the 'Bonnie' article, has had his address shared widely and that a second part of the article is included in this issue. Jim Heit is also offered a colored photograph of Mt. Shasta for a small fee. Robert Soderberg praises the publication's quality and informativeness, questioning how they maintain low costs amidst rising paper and postage prices. The editor explains that reader support, writers who are passionate about the subject, and unique advertisers contribute to their ability to keep prices low. Mrs. Theodore Annonson renews her subscription in memory of her late husband. Edith Bartoe shares her interest in 'Bonnie' and her own experiences with tunnels, referencing her published books. The editor encourages her to promote her books. Ernest Bellam proposes a theory that the Great Pyramid was an electrical generator and inquires about crystal chips found in its debris.

Editorial: The New Golden Age

The editorial discusses the concept of 'enLIGHTenment' and a coming 'New Golden Age.' It posits that just as humans can raise their vibrational frequency, so too is the planet undergoing a frequency change. To align with this planetary shift, individuals must also raise their personal vibration through awareness, understanding, truth, honesty, loyalty, and courage. The editorial emphasizes that this is not a passive process but requires active work and struggle. It suggests that by living truthfully and helping others to understand, one can instantly raise their frequency. The message concludes with an encouragement to forgive the past and look forward to a new, eternal future.

Strangenews

This section compiles various brief reports on unusual events and phenomena:

• Ariel-6 Satellite Anomaly: A British satellite's energy systems shut down over specific global locations, likened to a 'Bermuda Triangle' phenomenon.
• Sun's Radiation Drop: A new satellite has detected a significant drop in the sun's radiation output, potentially linked to sunspot activity and magnetic field changes, with implications for global temperature and a possible 'little ice age'.
• Dinosaur Sighting in Africa: A mysterious elephant-sized creature with a long neck and claws, known as 'MOKELE-MBEMBE', was reported in the Congo, with locals identifying it from pictures of a brontosaurus.

• Mysterious Gas Closes Schools: A pungent gas affected multiple schools in Hong Kong, leading to evacuations.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the nature of consciousness, the possibility of life after death, ancient mysteries (Atlantis, pyramids), unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs), cryptids (lake monsters, dinosaurs), and spiritual evolution. The editorial stance, as expressed in the editorial piece, promotes personal growth, raising one's vibrational frequency, and embracing a new era of awareness and enlightenment. The journal appears to be a platform for exploring fringe topics and alternative perspectives on reality, encouraging reader participation and critical thinking within its specific worldview.

This document is a collection of articles and advertisements, likely from a magazine focused on paranormal, ufological, and speculative topics. The primary content revolves around a critique of a UFO-related article, an interview about pole shift theories, and a fictional narrative about Atlantis.

Article: The Fickle Finger of Fate

This section, presented as a "FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION" notice, is a strong rebuttal by John A. Keel to an article titled "Anatomy of a Hoax" published in the November 1980 issue of Fate magazine. Keel identifies the article's authors, Karl T. Pflock, Ted Bloecher, and John Carlson, as members of the "old Washington NICAP inner circle," whom he accuses of "fascistic tactics and their obstructionist policies." Keel asserts that the Fate article is untrue, misinterpreting printed material, quoting out of context, and fabricating derogatory material without basis in fact. He states he possesses tape recordings, letters, and documentation from 1968-70 that support his claims regarding Thomas Monteleone. Keel references Chapter 14 of his book, "The Mothman Prophecies," as an example of their misrepresentation.

Keel recounts an incident in January 1970 when he was invited to be a panelist on the Long John Nebel radio show with Thomas Monteleone. Keel declined, explaining in writing that he felt Monteleone's story was not a physical experience. Nebel read Keel's disclaimer on air to an audience of millions. Keel also mentions that Monteleone had confessed in letters that he feared his public contactee status was hindering his chances of becoming a science fiction writer. Monteleone later became obsessed with repudiating his story to gain acceptance among science fiction writers and published an article in OMNI magazine in 1979 claiming he had made up his contact experience. However, Keel states that Monteleone privately maintained his contact story was true.

Keel concludes that the Washington NICAP group used Monteleone to discredit his entire body of work and his professional reputation as a journalist of over thirty-five years, deeming this intent "malicious and libelous."

Interview: John White, Author of "Pole Shift"

This section features an interview with John White, author of the book "Pole Shift." White explains that a "pole shift" is a theoretical global event where the Earth's axis is displaced or the poles move. He describes two main theories: one where the planet tumbles end-over-end, and another where the Earth's crust slips around the molten interior, causing a shift of the poles relative to the surface.

White presents dramatic and controversial evidence for past pole shifts. This includes frozen mammoths and other large animals found in the Arctic, preserved in midsummer condition with grasses in their stomachs, indicating they died suddenly and were flash-frozen. He notes that these animals were grazing in temperate zones, not the current arctic climate.

Further evidence includes trees with leaves and fruit found under arctic permafrost, ancient maps depicting an ice-free Antarctica centuries before its official discovery, and global myths and legends of lost civilizations and cataclysms. Geological evidence cited includes ice ages, magnetic field reversals, fossils of raindrops and jellyfish, coral in Alaska, mountain building, animal extinctions correlated with global volcanism, and continental drift, all theoretically explained by pole shifts.

White calls a pole shift "The Ultimate Disaster" due to its immediate effects: enormous tidal waves, hurricane-force winds, massive earthquakes, volcanic activity, drastic climate changes, and altered geography. He suggests that polar icecaps would melt rapidly if moved into the tropics, raising sea levels, while new ice caps form. This event could decimate or even extinguish large numbers of organisms, including humans.

White clarifies that his book "Pole Shift" deals with predictions and prophecies of another pole shift occurring soon, by the end of the century. He emphasizes that he is acting as an investigative journalist reporting on these predictions from various independent sources, including ancient prophecies (Bible, Hopi, Nostradamus), contemporary psychics (like Edgar Cayce), and scientifically-oriented researchers. He notes that while the scientific community has largely dismissed the idea, his book aims to draw attention to the strong case supporting pole shifts and their potential scientific grounds.

White states he is not predicting the end of the world but is calling for a full-scale international scientific investigation into the topic, which could be crucial for civilization's survival into the 21st century. He addresses concerns about causing panic by stating his intent is to raise a question and issue a timely warning, not to create fear, and that he would be happy if the predictions proved unfulfilled.

Chart: The Pole Shift at a Glance

This chart, compiled by Dr. C. Ralph Campo and pre-printed with permission from John White's forthcoming book, provides a tabular overview of various sources and their predictions regarding pole shifts. It lists sources like Hugh Auchincloss Brown, Charles H. Hapgood, Immanuel Velikovsky, Edgar Cayce, and Hopi Prophecy, along with estimated dates of past pole shifts, predicted dates of future shifts (many around 1999-2000 or May 5, 2000), previous and next North Pole locations, speed of pole shift, and potential trigger mechanisms. Comments range from "Feels shift may be under way" to "Pole Shift not explicitly predicted."

Article: I REMEMBER ATLANTIS! PART 111 - ESCAPE FROM THE HELL BOMB!

This fictional narrative continues the story of Atlantis. It describes a global exodus from Maldek as the "Omertian Air Armada" prepares to bomb the "Alpharian capital." The bombers fly at an altitude of forty miles for safety. Upon releasing the "Hell Bomb," the spacecraft speeds away as Maldek explodes, creating vast clouds of dust, fire, and steam. Tidal waves surge, the planet splits open, and it shudders convulsively before exploding into pieces. These pieces form the Asteroids, orbiting where Maldek once was.

The crew of the spacecraft experiences intense psychological trauma following the event, with some going mad, crying, laughing hysterically, or screaming. The Hell Bomb's work is done, leaving Maldek as a memory. The Asteroids are formed, but huge chunks of the exploded planet also fly in all directions, posing a threat to Earth and the Moon, which are now orbiting closer to a collision course with these "terrible giant meteors."

About three months away from Earth, this swarm of debris gives the scientists of Atlantis a critical window to prepare a defense. They have already suffered greatly in a war with the "Swern" and their allies, and the rising sea levels from "Martian oceans" have also caused concern. Many Atlanteans despair, believing the gods have abandoned them. Others turn to violence and crime.

The scientists work tirelessly to find a defense against the approaching meteors, utilizing telescopes, computers, and anti-gravity ray machines. They decide on a plan involving "Repulsion Ray Machines" set up in three locations on the Western Isle, designed to draw power from the Earth's interior and beam it at the meteor swarm to deflect them. The plan involves a central machine to regulate the power and ray field. The narrative ends by stating that unforeseen complications arose, dooming man's efforts and bringing an abrupt end to civilization in that geological era, with a preview of the next issue discussing "THE ATLANTEAN RAYS AND THE TRIANGLE."

The editorial stance, particularly in John A. Keel's piece, is critical of mainstream UFO organizations and investigative journalism that distorts facts. The interview with John White presents a strong advocacy for the pole shift theory, urging scientific investigation. The fictional Atlantis story taps into themes of ancient advanced civilizations, global disasters, and survival.

This issue of WAY OUT WORLD! presents a collection of unusual and unexplained phenomena, ranging from UFO sightings and ancient mysteries to spiritual channeling and unusual weather events. The magazine aims to explore the 'Weirdies, The Off-Beat, The Best of the Beasties!' and encourages reader submissions.

UFO Sightings and Encounters

Madrid UFO Fleet (November 28, 1979)

The issue details a significant UFO event over Madrid, Spain, where Radio Madrid interrupted its normal programming to provide live coverage. Thousands contacted the station, reporting a UFO fleet. Witnesses described circular craft, one with square windows, and another as a circular ball with a smaller ball inside. A doctor observed a luminous flash with orange, red, and violet hues over the 'Monumental Square of Sales' for ten minutes. The broadcast emphasized its authenticity, referencing Orson Welles' 'War of the Worlds' broadcast. During the incident, some radio communications, including those for civil protection and the Red Cross, were reportedly cut off. This report is attributed to 'La Nacion' of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Egyptian UFO Sighting (November 23, 1979)

'Akhbar el Yom' reported that a British pilot, en route to Athens, sighted a UFO in the western desert area of Egypt (Dabaa region). The object appeared to be aflame as it crossed the sky at supersonic speeds. This report is also cited from 'La Nacion'.

'Light Bulb' UFO in Eastern Europe

'Prediction Magazine' reported on a curious UFO phenomenon in Eastern Europe. In 1977, three scientists camping near Serpokhov, Russia, heard strange voices and then observed a large, light bulb-shaped object emitting a violet glow. Estimated to be about 500 feet away and 80 feet tall, the object rose unsteadily, spiraled silently into the sky, and disappeared into a cloud. The next morning, a circular depression, about 15 feet in diameter, was found in the grass at the site. Similar sightings were reported in the area, with a total of eight logged by the end of 1979. A 14-man team is studying these reports.

Iranian Sky and U.S. Threats

'The Korea Herald' reported that Iranian officials claimed the U.S. was sending flying saucers, remote-controlled helicopters, and weather balloons over Iran as a psychological war tactic. Following the abortive U.S. commando raid, reports of such sightings increased. The Oil Ministry announced U.S. helicopters had flown low over the gulf, spraying foam. Students occupying the embassy claimed to have fired on a suspicious helicopter. An army 'political-military expert' stated that flying saucers were being sent into Iranian airspace from U.S. Naval vessels to frighten the public.

Ancient Mysteries and Lost Civilizations

Loltun Cavern's Ancient Artifacts

This section, Part Two of an article by J. Manson Valentine, Ph.D., discusses the Loltun Cavern's artifacts and their implications for a pre-cataclysmic culture. The cavern's stalactitic ceilings suggest it was once flooded during cataclysmic times. Stalactites and megalithic sculpturings on stalagmites are noted, some depicting monstrous beasts and bearded giants. The author dates the human skill evident in these formations to a remote period, at least ten to twelve thousand years ago, predating cataclysmic events. The cavern is described as a sacred site where important religious ceremonies were performed, and where the Maya still tread with veneration, believing the spirits of the 'Ancient Ones' dwell there. The article questions the identity of the sculptors and transporters of enormous stones, referencing mysterious stalactites and levitation feats.

Lost Cities and Ancient Subterranean Passages

An article by Patrick O'Connell explores the theory of a 'tunnel-network' used by UFOs, possibly dating back to pre-historical times and existing in various countries. Based on Aime Michel's theory, UFOs might use South Pole-based tunnel entrances to avoid the Van Allen belts. 'LA RAZON' reported that Chilean scientific sources are accepting this tunnel theory. The article references Harold T. Wilkins' 'Mysteries of Ancient South America,' which mentions Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky's observation of a rock near Arica, Chile, with hieroglyphics visible only under specific sun angles, interpreted as a clue to ancient tunnel entrances. These tunnels are said to connect to legendary places and possibly the 'Nephilim,' a golden age race from Central Asia.

The Tunnel of the Inca

Figure 1, a map by Harold T. Wilkins, illustrates the 'Tunnel of the Inca' (Socabon del Inca), with its southern terminus in the Atacama Desert. Dotted lines indicate mysterious extensions from Cuzco, suggesting tunnels through which Inca Tupac Amaru fled in 1533. The map also notes the potential existence of the Inca's Stone City, 'El Gran Paytite,' undiscovered in the forests.

Atlantis and Lemuria

Figure 2, a Mercator's Projection map, shows the approximate positions of Atlantis and Lemuria, with suspected tunnel entrances marked by asterisks. It also depicts potential tunnel routes from Okinawa to Pacific islands, and subterranean worlds connecting to Shangri-La (Agharti) in Inner Mongolia.

Other Reports and Features

U.S. Heat Wave

The issue includes a report on a severe heat wave in the U.S., particularly in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, which experienced 25 consecutive days of 100-degree temperatures. The heat wave had claimed over 1,000 lives in 20 states, with significant fatalities in Alabama, Georgia, and Missouri. Forecasters saw little immediate relief, with the heat expected to last into September in some areas. The National Weather Service director suggested a slight chance of pattern change, but without guarantees. State agriculture departments reported impacts on soil moisture and crop losses, with Arkansas farmers facing an estimated $500 million loss.

European Cold Snap

In contrast to the U.S. heat, Europe was experiencing a cold summer. Rain and low temperatures damaged vineyards in France and West Germany, delayed harvests in Britain, and caused snow in mountain passes. Hoteliers faced a significant drop in business. Agriculture experts predicted a poor wine harvest and issues with fodder for livestock. West Germany reported significantly above-normal rainfall and reduced sunshine hours, with temperatures barely reaching 60 degrees. Swiss farmers brought cattle down from Alpine pastures due to heavy snowfalls.

'An Encounter With The Guardians'

This section presents channeling messages from 'Tuella' via the City of the Sun Foundation. Capt. Avalon of the Galactic Council expresses concern over humanity's indifference to these matters and urges preparation for future events, suggesting personal steps should be completed by spring 1981. The messages predict significant celestial alignments in 1982, leading to intense electrical storms, lightning, and a three-day period of darkness and flashing lights. Viewers are advised to stay indoors, unplug electrical appliances, and call upon spiritual entities for protection. Adverse weather and geological disturbances are also anticipated.

World Messages for the Coming Decade

This section advertises a book titled 'World Messages for the Coming Decade,' a 'Cosmic Symposium' of 27 Extra-Terrestrial Communiques received telepathically by 'Tuella.' The book is divided into sections on World Chaos, World Changes, World Guardians, and World Deliverance, sponsored by Lord Kuthumi and the Great White Brotherhood. It discusses topics such as how to act during earth changes, how space ships manage geological disasters, planetary alignments, weather performances, the meaning of UFO phenomena, the role of the Guardian Action, the Ashtar Command, interplanetary fellowship, the Saturnian Council, and evacuation phases.

Other Advertisements and Features

The issue also contains advertisements for a Vitamin Chemist (Donald J. Shields), Cosmic Channellings (Lu-Ah-Mah), and a Dowsing Necklace. A feature on 'The Kings and Queens of Egypt' offers colored prints based on paintings by Winifred Brunton, daughter of archaeologist Brunton.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO phenomena, ancient civilizations, subterranean mysteries, and spiritual or channeled messages. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into unexplained events, presenting various reports and theories without necessarily endorsing them, but encouraging readers to consider the possibilities and prepare for potential future events. There is a consistent focus on the 'out of the ordinary' and a blend of scientific reports, historical accounts, and esoteric beliefs.

A "Tour Update" section lists future tours to Egypt with Atlantis Rising throughout 1981 and into early 1982. Contact information for Atlantis Rising, including Mark Singer at their Tulsa, Oklahoma office, is provided for reservations and information. The tour price of $1598 is guaranteed until January 15, 1981, after which it increases to $1776. A land-only package from Europe is available for $842.

Thought Operated Computers

An article titled "THOUGHT OPERATED COMPUTERS!" discusses research by Dr. Donald Childers at the University of Florida. He is developing a technique to detect and interpret brain waves, potentially allowing direct thought commands to computers. This research is based on evoked responses, where specific brain wave patterns are recognized when a subject is presented with a stimulus. The article suggests potential applications for individuals with handicaps and explores the idea of a direct link between the human brain and computers.

Coming Cataclysm

Another section promotes a book titled "COLLAPSE & COMEBACK" by Metascience Publications, which discusses the "COMING CATACLYSM." The book suggests that the transition from the Piscean to the Aquarian Age will be cataclysmic, influenced by human actions and geological changes predicted for the years 1979-2000. It links these changes to social, economic, political, and geological events, as well as UFO sightings and the observations of scientists and mystics. The article urges readers to understand these changes and learn how to attune themselves to positive developments.

UFO Incident in France

A detailed report describes an incident in Cergy-Pontoise, France, involving Frank Fontaine. Fontaine, aged 19, and his two friends claim to have seen a brilliant light, the size of a tennis ball, which grew larger and rested on a car's hood, causing their eyes to burn. Fontaine then vanished for a week, reappearing in the same spot with no memory of the intervening time. Police are skeptical and have involved experts from the Group for the Study of Non-Identified Aerospace Phenomena. The report notes that no physical traces were found, and Fontaine's account remained consistent.

Infrasound: "Deafening Silence"

An article by Joan O'Connell, editor of the New Atlantean Journal, discusses "INFRASOUND: 'DEAFENING SILENCE'." Sourced from The Los Angeles Times, it explains that infrasound consists of very low-frequency sounds that are inaudible to humans but can affect the body. Dr. Richard W. Procunier of Lockheed Labs notes that exposure to infrasound can cause nausea, disequilibrium, disorientation, headache, and blurred vision. The article speculates whether this technology, or similar phenomena from the Atlantean Era, could be used to create havoc or, conversely, be applied for health and healing. It connects infrasound to natural events like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as well as artificial sources like machinery and aircraft. The article suggests that understanding and knowing about these vibrational frequencies is key to overcoming negative impacts.

Past and Future

A book advertisement for Edith F. Bartoe's trilogy, "KEY TO THE FUTURE," "TELL THE WORLD," and "NOW IS THE TIME," is featured. These books explore connections between diverse cultures and ancient history, raising questions about prehistoric esoteric advancement, ancient scientific development, and medicine. The advertisement suggests that the past holds keys to our future.

A notice to subscribers requests that they provide their present mailing label when changing addresses or renewing subscriptions, due to a transition to a new computer system.

The Pyramid's Secrets

An article reprinted from "FORGOTTON AGES" discusses legends and historical accounts related to the Great Pyramid of Giza. It mentions that after an earthquake in 1356, Arabs robbed the Pyramid of its casing stones. Legends suggest that ancient knowledge is preserved within the Pyramid, with inscriptions intended to prevent wisdom from being lost. The article recounts a tradition from Ibn Abd Alhokim about Saurid Ibn Salhouk, who lived before the Flood and built the Pyramid with thirty rooms filled with riches, utensils, and various instruments, possibly for celestial observation or other purposes.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of ancient civilizations (particularly Egypt), spirituality, holistic health, consciousness, and the potential for both hidden knowledge and future cataclysms. There is a strong interest in esoteric studies, UFO phenomena, and the connection between ancient wisdom and modern science. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, encouraging readers to explore possibilities beyond conventional understanding and to prepare for potential global changes. The emphasis on Egypt as a source of ancient wisdom and healing energies is a central theme throughout the issue.

This issue of The New Atlantean Journal, identified as the WINTER issue, delves into a variety of paranormal, metaphysical, and predictive topics. The cover prominently features the question, "Is Bigfoot strolling in the ash?", accompanied by a sketch of a creature. The issue includes articles on numerology, prophecies, unexplained phenomena, and ancient mysteries.

Articles and Features

This issue of 'The Cosmic Flea Market!' features a collection of advertisements and articles related to esoteric, metaphysical, and ufological topics. The primary content revolves around a conversation with 'Bonnie,' who shares information about ancient civilizations like Lemuria and Atlantis, their inhabitants, technologies, and eventual destruction. The magazine also includes advertisements for various books, newsletters, psychic services, and esoteric products, alongside a section dedicated to 'The Cosmic Flea Market!' which lists numerous items for sale.

Conversation with Bonnie: Lemuria and Atlantis

The core of the issue is a transcribed conversation between William Hamilton and a 'Lemurian girl' named Bonnie. Bonnie recounts the history of Lemuria and Atlantis, detailing their origins, societal structures, and technological advancements.

Origins and Early Lemuria

Bonnie states that early Lemurians originated from the Planet Aurora, seeking refuge on Earth due to excessive solar radiation. They entered the planet through polar entrances and established a city called Shamballa, ruled by a hereditary King. Those who remained on the surface degenerated into what is referred to as the 'fourth race.' Bonnie corrects the spelling of 'Hyper Beings' to 'Hyprobeans' or 'Tripolians.'

Races and Degeneration

Lemuria had sub-races, but was considered one race. Approximately 200,000 years ago, the Lemurians, who were about 12 feet tall, began to shrink, with the fourth race being about 9 feet tall. Their skin tones varied, with Atlanteans having a reddish hue and Asian and Lemurian skins being yellowish. Mental degeneration led to warfare among them.

Technology and Extraterrestrial Contact

Both Lemuria and Atlantis possessed advanced technology, including air and space travel, allowing them to travel to other planets. They were members of a 'Federation' and had contact with extraterrestrials. The Lemurians were living under the 'Law of the One,' with major groups including the Uighers, Maga-Mayas, and Quetzelcoatls. Some Quetzels migrated to North America, Scandinavia, Central, and South America.

The Destruction of Lemuria

Lemuria's destruction was caused by a natural catastrophe involving the blowing out of Archean gas chambers, which created cavities within the earth. This event, occurring about 15,000 years ago, coincided with erratic magnetic fields.

Atlantis and Crystal Technology

After Lemuria's destruction, Atlantis became increasingly vindictive. The Atlanteans experimented with huge 'fire crystals' that generated energy from cosmic sources. These crystals, which had no moving parts and changed colors, built up uncontrollable energy. This crystal technology is suggested to be the power source for flying saucers, capable of hyperspace travel.

The Destruction of Atlantis

The destruction of Atlantis was a result of their own advanced technology. They used vibrating crystal rays, bounced off satellites, to target China and India. The Atlanteans' major crystal, located near Bimini, became uncontrollable. They attempted to use a moon as a missile aimed at China and India. The moon was diverted from its course, but the uncontrolled energy caused it to fall to Earth, splitting in two and destroying Atlantis.

Other Civilizations and Concepts

Bonnie mentions that Atlanteans also engaged in biological experiments like cloning and used 'things' as slaves. Some people left Atlantis to build a city called Telos near Mt. Shasta. The 'Center of the Universe' is described as the 'seat of God' and the generation of energy, accessible in the astral plane.

Book Reviews

The Excalibur Briefing by Colonel Thomas E. Bearden:

This section includes a review by J. O'Connell of Colonel Thomas E. Bearden's book, "The Excalibur Briefing." The book is described as a definitive work that expands understanding of paranormal phenomena, covering UFOs, bioenergy, thought photography, psychic surgery, psychokinetics, cattle mutilations, and warning about Soviet psychotronic mind control research. The reviewer notes that the book is difficult to read due to its technical wordage and implications, suggesting it requires rereading. The book is said to present a more technical view of good versus evil and the nature of creation. A key point is that the book does not offer a utopian future or easy solutions but rather outlines the problems humanity faces, including "INTERDIMENSIONAL WARFARE." The book is 288 pages, illustrated by Hal Crawford, and costs $8.95 plus $1.00 for postage and handling. It can be ordered from Col. Thomas Bearden, POB 1472, Huntsville, AL 35807.

The review also mentions specific illustrations and topics within the book, such as "The Second Billings UFO Sighting," "The Moray Radiant Energy Device," and "Cattle Mutilations."
