Contents and Articles

Extraterrestrials: STARTLING REVELATIONS

This section introduces a book titled 'STARTLING REVELATIONS by UFOs' which explains what happens to entities when planes and ships are zapped from atomically charged vortexes at the Bermuda Triangle. It suggests that three zones in the pyramids symbolize three zones in man, and that finger and thumb whorls are souls' 'time rings'. The text also mentions how the two Aurora Borealis are balanced and feeding mankind and Earth as both are stepped up in frequency and need 'Mana', or color energies. The 'UFO brothers' are said to be coming during Earth's crisis to teach deeper concepts of a Universal brotherhood. This book reportedly involved over twelve years to channel, write, and edit, drawing from Akashic scrolls. It can be ordered from Sari (McNames) at R.R. 2-Box 63-Sunset Pk., Sedona, AZ, 86336, for $5.95 plus $0.63 postage.

Correspondence with Patrick and Joan O'Connell

• H. John Zitko from Tucson, AZ, writes regarding a $7.00 check sent on June 4, 1931, for a classified ad that did not appear. The check was apparently not cashed.

• Frank Magnus from NY NY, encloses his 'COSMIC INFLUENCES' column for Spring '82 and mentions sending other articles soon. He notes that his FALL '31 column predicted an escalation in the Middle East conflict before Sadat's death. He praises the journal as one of the most interesting magazines he has ever seen. A postscript from the editors thanks him and mentions favorable comments on their Astrology column, foreseeing a Spring 1932 period.
• Dave Galvin from Prince George, British Columbia, Canada, wishes to place a brief ad to swap accounts of sentient animal behavior and seeks information on a Canadian channel for 'Light Forces' teachings. He describes a brilliant Northern Lights display on October 14th, which was a straight band of red, and another white display. He relates this to similar displays seen before the outbreak of World War II and World War I, suggesting it might be an ominous sign.

Editorial: MAN...MIND...REALITY

The editorial, titled 'MAN...MIND...REALITY', explores the subjective nature of reality. It posits that reality is in the eye of the beholder and that man exists in both a tangible, 'feelable' world and an 'unfeelable' world. The editorial argues that what is perceived as real is determined by how an individual experiences it, using examples like gravity, love, and sorrow, which are felt rather than seen. It suggests that human beings have physical limitations in their perception, but co-exist with other types of beings in different dimensions. UFOs are presented as vehicles used by 'other beings' to travel between these dimensions. The editorial emphasizes that 'ALL IS MIND' and that one's perception of reality is shaped by their knowledge and thoughts. It poses the question of whether one wishes to be a 'New-Ager' or a 'Stone-ager', offering 'KNOWLEDGE' to those who seek it.

SAUCER SCOOP! UFO MINI-NEWS!

This section compiles UFO reports from a clipping service:

• The Adamski Connection: It discusses the fame of George Adamski and introduces a new case involving Zygmunt Adamski, who was found dead atop a pile of coal in Yorkshire. His watch and wallet were missing, but he had money. His scalp and neck were burned by an unidentified corrosive substance. The coalpile was only accessible from above. A policeman reported seeing a flying-saucer-like object hours before. The coroner recorded an 'open' verdict, admitting that the failure to identify the substance could lend weight to a UFO theory.
• SAUCERS BY THE HUNDREDS! ENGLAND: Three fishermen reported sighting a convoy of over 100 UFOs over Leicester on June 13, '81. They described them as triangles with lights, distinct from planes.
• In Japan: A fleet of 15 cigar-shaped UFOs with flashing red lights was sighted by at least 50 persons on August 31, '31. They flew from NE to SW for about an hour, appearing every two minutes.
• In China: On July 24th, '31, a bright, spinning spiral object was seen between 10:30 and 11:30 pm in 13 provinces, resembling a dragon coiling in the sky.
• In France: In 1978, a similar account of many UFOs was reported in the Hautes-Pyreness, where 20 UFOs performed a 'veritable little ballet' over Bearn province for over 3 hours.

The section concludes by posing questions like 'WHY?' or 'WHO?????'.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of The New Atlantean Journal are UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, and New Age spirituality. The editorial stance, particularly in the 'MAN...MIND...REALITY' piece, emphasizes the subjective nature of reality and the power of individual perception and consciousness. The journal appears to be a platform for exploring unexplained phenomena, alternative belief systems, and spiritual insights, encouraging readers to question conventional understanding and expand their awareness. The inclusion of subscriber letters and various services related to psychic phenomena and spiritual guidance reinforces this focus.

This issue of Saucer Scoop Mini-News! presents a collection of unusual and often sensationalized reports related to paranormal phenomena, strange creatures, and esoteric concepts. The magazine covers a variety of topics, from alleged sightings of cryptids and UFOs to spiritual healing and ancient mysteries.

Mini-News Reports

'Nessie'? OK! (But in Florida?)

A report from Florida details a sighting by John Haney of a sea serpent-like creature in the Gulf of Mexico, described as 10-20 feet long with spines. Simultaneously, a 'dark blue ray of light' was observed radiating from the sunset area. The article questions if 'Nessies' and 'BLUE BEAMS' are connected.

Wallowa Lake Monster

Residents of Wallowa Lake, Oregon, Jan and John Bryant, reported seeing a 'black form about twenty feet long' in July 1931. The creature surfaced, glided on the lake, and had the appearance of a serpent without a visible head or tail.

Python Incident

A brief report mentions a 14-foot python named Monty that attempted to swallow its owner's head while being fed a rabbit. The owner was hospitalized, and three snake teeth were removed from his forehead.

Frog Rain in Greece

People in Narplion, southern Greece, experienced a rain of thousands of small green frogs. Scientists theorize they were sucked up from North African marshes by a whirlwind and carried by an air stream.

"The Healer from Space"

This section details the story of Francisco Ramon Jimenez, a 14-year-old boy from Torente, Spain, who claims to be an extraterrestrial. He believes he possesses the energy to cure all diseases, having discovered this ability three years prior. Patients reportedly gather at his home. Jimenez recounts a dream where he met a man from a flying saucer who gave him instructions for humanity's good. He states that extraterrestrials visit him nightly and have taught him how to cure others, though he cannot cure himself of a birth-related limp.

Crystal Healing Temple

Authored by Norman B. Miller and described by architect John Maschino, this article introduces the concept of the 'Crystal Healing Temple,' a New Age healing environment. It is envisioned as a crystal pyramid floating over a 'cloud covered Tonka in the Sea of Crystal.' The structure is designed to incorporate advanced light, sound, and fragrance technology, including an 'Omegatron Universal Light Projector' and a 'crystal light bath,' to transport audiences into new dimensions of consciousness. The project aims to harmonize spiritual awareness and foster individual relationships with the divine. Celestial Rainbow Light Co. is seeking investors and has drawn up architectural plans.

The Hidden City of Chihuahuan

Part Two of an article by Charles A. Marcoux recounts a tale told by an elderly Mexican to two Americans in 1934-35. The story involves prospecting in Old Sonora, where the Mexican discovered a vein of gold and a hidden cave behind a large rock door with strange symbols. He fled in fear, never finding his mule or supplies. The article then describes a subsequent expedition organized to find the canyon, involving local peons and mules, which set up camp near mountains in Chihuahua.

The Canyon Pass and The Attack

During the expedition, a trail was found leading into a canyon. While trying to retrieve a fallen mule, the explorers were attacked by strange 'animal-men' who seemed to float or glide. These beings shot beams of light, causing men and animals to be cut in half. The American survivor, after investigating the aftermath, fled with a young Mexican boy. The article notes that this incident revealed the existence of 'evil animal-men in the Underworld.'

The Phaestos Disk: An Artifact of Atlantis?

This section, attributed to the Chapel of Aquaria, explores the Phaestos Disk, suggesting it is an artifact from Atlantis. It interprets various symbols and elements on the disk, relating them to celestial bodies, human psyche, ancient cults, and spiritual concepts like the seven chakras and the 'music of the spheres.' The article connects these elements to concepts like the 'Golden Rectangle' and the 'Mystic Saral,' and suggests the disk holds clues to ancient geometries and cycles.

UFO Cover-Up?!

A promotional blurb for a UFO report from 'The Crystal Ball' asks if the government is being blackmailed and questions the silence from various agencies regarding UFOs. It promises sources, an overview, and over 51 illustrations of UFO sightings.

Other Advertisements

The issue also contains advertisements for "Saucer magazines and other phenomena," USA and Canadian flag decals, an "INFO JOURNAL" about mysterious events, and a publication called "BEHIND THE SCENES."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the unexplained, the mysterious, and the esoteric. The magazine presents a wide array of anecdotal evidence for paranormal phenomena, including cryptid sightings, UFOs, and alleged psychic abilities. There is a strong leaning towards New Age spirituality, with articles on healing temples and spiritual growth. The editorial stance appears to be one of open-mindedness and sensationalism, presenting these stories as factual accounts of extraordinary events without significant skepticism. The inclusion of advertisements for similar publications and services reinforces this focus on the fringe and the unexplained.

This issue of THE NEW ATLANTEAN magazine, identified by its issue number '19', focuses on a variety of mysterious phenomena, ancient civilizations, and New Age topics. The cover prominently features an article titled 'MYSTERIOUS INTAGLIOS' by Dr. C. Ralph Campo, DD, Dean of the University of Psychic Sciences.

Membership and Society Information

The magazine opens with an invitation to join THE NEW ATLANTEAN RESEARCH SOCIETY, detailing the benefits of membership, including local representation, journal credits, a membership card reflecting one's position (Area Reporter, Area Investigator, or Field Investigator), a $1.00 discount on renewal, and connections with other members.

A special Christmas gift offer encourages subscriptions by sending a friend a subscription to receive a free New Atlantean Crystal.

Bigfoot's Portal! by Virginia Louise (Part 2)

This article continues the author's personal account of her search for Bigfoot. After a week of storms, her Indian escort informs her that her presence is unwelcome due to tribal displeasure. Undeterred, she plans a return trip, this time with permission to stay on the road. During this trip, her vehicle is blocked by five Indians. They recognize her and ask if she has seen Bigfoot, confirming that it comes from a canyon below. The author narrowly avoids a dangerous situation when her friend has to reverse their vehicle on a steep, narrow road.

She later reflects on the difficulty of finding Bigfoot in a vast wilderness and discusses a theory with her firefighter friend about a possible hidden location for Bigfoot in a canyon ending in a waterfall, suggesting it might be a tunnel entrance. The author notes that Virginia is a remarkable woman who will keep readers informed of further developments.

Mysterious Intaglios by Dr. C. Ralph Campo, DD (Part Two)

This article details a significant UFO sighting. The author, Dr. C. Ralph Campo, along with a witness named Haydee Gladys Figueroa (a registered nurse and graduate of the University of Psychic Sciences), observed a large, enormous flying saucer over the Intaglios area in Arizona. The sighting occurred at 6:30 AM on Labor Weekend in 1980. The UFO was described as beautiful, with a form like a huge water drop and a rainbow of colors emanating from it. They watched it ascend and disappear flying North East at an incredible speed. Dr. Campo mentions previous UFO sightings in Yuma, Quartzsite, over the Colorado River, and in Argentina, but states that the Intaglios sighting was the most spectacular, occurring in perfect daylight conditions. He notes that he was so mesmerized he forgot to take a photograph. The circling lines around the craft in a drawing are explained as wind-waves formed as it ascended. The author concludes that UFOs are real and that this experience was extraordinary.

Music and Ancient Instruments

A section on 'MUSIC' discusses the importance of musical instruments in ancient cultures, noting the absence of stringed instruments. The list of instruments includes drums, rattles, shell castanets, panpipes, flutes, trumpets, and whistles, with the latter two being the oldest, appearing in Chavín times. Examples of instruments produced by Nazca potters are highlighted for their beauty and tuning. Figure 49 displays various ancient artifacts, including a Paracas whistle, a Nazca panpipe, and Mochica drummer figurines, with sources attributed to various individuals and institutions.

Oracle-Stones and Ancient Wisdom

Patrick O'Connell, President of The New Atlanteans, writes about 'MYSTERIOUS ORACLES - STONES OF THE ANCIENTS'. He references Harold Wilkins' account of a mysterious white stone in Cusco, Peru, called 'IURACRUNU', which was believed to function as an oracle and crystal for visions. Researchers speculate it may have originated from Lemuria or Atlantis and acted as a 'Cosmic Computer'. The stone was allegedly destroyed by the Spanish. O'Connell also mentions a letter from Richard Shaver describing a stone with moving pictures, which lost its magic when he pried open a small drawer containing tiny crystal people.

Other Features and Advertisements

The issue includes advertisements for various services and publications:

• THE NEW ATLANTEANS: Offers 'NEW AGE BUSINESSES!' including cash flow problem consultations, flyers, advertising advice, and book sales.

Title: Fortean Times
Issue: No 1 (BM - Winter 1981-82)
Publisher: Fortean Times
Country: United Kingdom
Language: English
ISSN: 1477-0503
Price: $8.50

This issue of Fortean Times, dated Winter 1981-82, presents a diverse collection of articles focusing on unusual phenomena, ancient mysteries, and esoteric beliefs. The cover prominently features a headline about a 'CHICKEN HOLDS WIFE PRISONER' and a variety of other intriguing animal-related incidents.

Atlantean Civilisation and Ancient Mysteries

The issue begins with a contribution from Ian McDonald, an 'Atlantean Englishman', who shares a drawing of an Atlantean Temple complex. These temples, he explains, contained beautiful crystals used for healing and weather control, harnessing the 'Crystalline Forces'. McDonald also expresses a belief in Atlantis and discusses his study of ancient power sites in Wales, Cornwall, and Ireland, including a major site near Cardiff with stone chambers and earthworks. He posits that Ancient Egypt was heir to Atlantis, along with other ancient cultures like the Mayans, Aztecs, Hopi, Arabs, Spanish, and Celts.

Jay Halloran shares his 'Quiet Hour' experiences, describing an impression of traveling through space and finding himself on a porch of a structure resembling the Parthenon in Greece. He felt a sense of depression knowing the impending destruction of a continent, likely Lemuria. Halloran's function in this vision was teaching in a 'Scientific Department' of a school with both spiritual and scientific classes. He notes that delegations from Lemuria were making expeditions to other parts of the world before its inevitable destruction.

A book advertisement promotes 'PYRAMID ENERGY EXPLAINED', a paperback detailing concepts and theories about the purpose of pyramids as interdimensional communication devices. Mary and Dean Hardy recount an experience with a UFO in 1969, where they were instructed to build a pyramid.

Cosmic Influences and Astrology

Frank Magnus contributes 'COSMIC INFLUENCES -- WINTER 1981-82', discussing the astrological impact of Uranus entering Sagittarius and Jupiter entering Scorpio. He predicts a new era in communications, electronics, and travel, a pickup in financial transactions, and the end of recession, but also a rise in inflation. Magnus provides specific astrological forecasts for each zodiac sign (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces) for January, February, and March, highlighting potential challenges and opportunities.

Spiritual and Esoteric Topics

Under the heading 'CLONES!', the magazine presents excerpts from the book 'STARTLING REVELATIONS' by 'SARI'. The text discusses 'Earth Cloning', suggesting that individuals interested in cloning may have past life recall from doing so. It raises concerns about medical science needing to understand the four mind levels and their correlation with the physical component. A significant warning is issued regarding cloning: "A tremendous victory for planet Earth" is not so, as millions of negative souls can enter a cloned body and take possession. The text emphasizes that only the Creator can make man in His/Her Image and cautions readers to leave clones alone, warning that unseen spirits can penetrate them.

Rev. Thomas A. Long's article, 'THE ATLANTEAN SPEAKS: HOPE!', discusses hope as being built on unseen foundations and faith. He refers to the 'Latter years of our Homeland' (10,490 BC to 9564 BC) and the 'Last Generation of Atlanteans' preparing for survival. He speaks of a 'living transition to a higher and less dense, more spiritual human-being'. Rev. Thomas Allen Long also offers a 'LIFE STYLE and SOUL CHART' service.

Fortean Phenomena: Animal Attacks and Unusual Events

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of the unexplained, ancient history, and fringe science. There is a clear interest in phenomena that challenge conventional scientific understanding, such as psychic experiences, UFOs, and unusual animal behavior. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting anecdotal evidence and alternative theories without necessarily endorsing them as absolute fact, but rather as phenomena worthy of investigation. The inclusion of astrological forecasts and discussions on topics like Atlantis and cloning suggest a focus on spiritual, esoteric, and historical mysteries.

This issue of the magazine, identified by page number 39, focuses on the topic of UFOs and their connection to a spiritual order known as the Order of the Vairagi. The cover headline is 'UFO'S OUTER SPACE AND THE ORDER OF THE VAIRAGI', written by Katherine M. Roe.

The Order of the Vairagi and ECKANKAR

The article posits that a group of beings called the adepts of the Order of the Vairagi, many residing in Tibet or other inaccessible places, can answer questions about outer space and visitors. These beings are described as ancient spiritual adepts whose teachings are collectively known as ECKANKAR. It is suggested that ECKANKAR is a comprehensive teaching, with other similar teachings being mere fragments of it. The article notes that a few years prior, this teaching was introduced to the Western world, with an American named Paul Twitchell writing books and discourses on this knowledge, becoming the ECK Master of the time.

These sages are said to possess extensive knowledge of UFOs and space because their spiritual city, Agem Des, serves as a landing site for spaceships, functioning as one of many way stations across the Universe. These visitors are not molested by the 'just men' (the sages) and are capable of altering their states of consciousness at will, traveling in their 'Soul Bodies' at high speeds across the Universe. This allows them to know which planets are inhabited.

SRI Darwin Gross, the Living ECK Master, is quoted stating that Earth has been visited for centuries by planetary and interdimensional travelers of various consciousness states, ranging from 'undisciplined practical jokers' to 'spiritual giants of the God Worlds of ECK', also known as the Adepts of the Vairagi. He suggests that Earth is now a laboratory for intelligences greater than humans comprehend. SRI Paul is mentioned as describing Earth as the 'ash-can of the Universe' and a warring planet, with visitors from other planets and universes mining Earth in various places using space vehicles. This could explain mysteries such as ancient tunnels found by miners in Pennsylvania coal mines that crossed their working tunnels.

Evidence of Past Visitors

The article further elaborates on the ancient tunnels found in Pennsylvania, noting that the coal crumbled when handled. Similar reports come from iron ore mines in the Lake Superior region, where past mining activity by unknown entities is suggested, as local Indians denied working it. Evidence also suggests space people may have worked old gold mines in South America, as iron nails were found driven into walls and screw heads on the ground, despite the local population at that time not having iron-made items.

SRI Darwin Gross states that as countries explore outer space, they are being watched. He explains that not all inhabitants of Earth were born there; many have reincarnated from other planets or higher levels of existence, having not yet learned their spiritual lessons. These visitors are described as intelligent and appearing no different from humans, with diverse skin colors. Interdimensional travelers, or 'light forms,' derive from the astral plane and can appear very real. They have escaped the 'Police network of the astral world' and visit Earth to 'poke fun' at life forms and humans, sometimes frightening them as a practical joke.

The Van Allen Belt and UFO Entry

Visitors, whether in vehicles or light form, reportedly enter Earth at the North or South Poles to avoid puncturing the Van Allen Belt, referred to as Earth's aura or electromagnetic field. The article suggests that since the space program began and the Van Allen Belt was punctured, more light forms have entered Earth's atmosphere, making it easier for them to enter from the astral plane, which interpenetrates the physical plane.

Other Interdimensional Travelers and Ancient History

The Eagle-eyed Adepts of the Vairagi are mentioned as successful interdimensional travelers, with members of their order visiting Earth frequently. They originally came from Venus. The ECK dictionary states that the first ECK Master, Gakko, arrived about six million years ago. The article critiques modern Earth as a 'narrow, provincial place' due to its leaders, especially the priesthood, and notes that historically, people were burned at the stake for asserting the Earth was round or revolved around the sun.

Prophecies and Future Events

The Order of the Vairagi withdrew from fanaticism during times of darkness and are now said to have four million followers in the Western world. SRI Darwin suggests that wars will be fought in the sky, not by nations, but by planetary visitors, unless humanity changes its consciousness. The ECK-Vidya, a book of prophecy, is cited as stating that the Ayran race's current dominance will change within years to the Ulemans, a race from Jupiter, who will descend and occupy Earth and other planets around the year 2100 with absolute ruling power.

The article expresses concern about current surveillance and potential Uleman planning, mentioning underground bases off the coast of South America and the Bermuda Triangle. It touches upon prophecies of a catastrophe related to the movement of the magnetic North Pole, similar to the sinking of Atlantis, which would make coastal areas vulnerable. During such times, people from outer space might find it easier to 'take over'. The issue of UFOs having good or bad intentions is raised, urging readers to connect with friendly extraterrestrials and unite against those with evil intentions.

Book Reviews and Theories

The issue includes a book review of "THE HAHUNA SORCERERS OF HAWAII" by Julius Scammon Rodman, which explores Hawaiian history, the Lost Continent of KA LUA (also known as MU or Lemuria), and the power of the Kahuna. The review highlights the legend of KA LU'A's submersion and the survival of a few who became the ancestors of present-day Hawaiians.

Another section, "THE PAINTED PYRAMID THEORY" by Tal Levesque, discusses Arab legends about the Great Pyramid being painted with colors symbolizing planets and their associated qualities (e.g., Red for Mars/Physical, Orange for Sun/Wisdom). It suggests a connection between the Great Pyramid's mathematical design and the craft seen by George Adamski and George W. Van Tassel.

Other Content

The magazine also features a section on "BOOKS! BOOKS: BOOKS!" offering rare and first editions, including titles like 'INSIDE THE SPACE SHIPS' by George Adamski, 'JADOO' by John Keel, and 'THE GREAT PYRAMID AND ITS DESIGN' by John Phillips. There is also a listing for 'The Hollow Hassle,' a quarterly publication dedicated to finding entrances to the Inner Earth, presented by The Hollow Earth Research Association.

A report on cattle mutilations in Walsenburg, Colorado, dated September 4, 1931, is presented, noting similarities to previous incidents and the lack of leads. The article mentions that cattle mutilations have been occurring nationwide since 1963, with about fifteen since 1973, and none have been solved.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFOs, extraterrestrial contact, spiritual teachings (ECKANKAR), ancient civilizations (Atlantis, Lemuria), prophecies of future events, and the exploration of mysterious phenomena like cattle mutilations and inner earth theories. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting information from various sources and perspectives, often blending spiritual, historical, and speculative elements. There is a clear emphasis on the idea that humanity is not alone and is part of a larger cosmic and spiritual reality.
