Editorial: The Return of the Atlanteans!
The editorial, titled 'The Return of the Atlanteans!', speaks of a prophecy: "We shall not leave you forever, we shall find our own again, in a Future-Time Phase we shall come Home." It describes a period of 'Long Nights' where survivors of a cataclysm on Earth, once scientists and healers, had to relearn survival without technology, relying on memory and 'Inner Knowledge.' This knowledge, including the misuse of knowledge and the horror of past destruction, was passed down through generations. However, 'low frequency pollution' began to erase memories, leading to a generation with no recollection of the past. The editorial suggests that 'Watchers' have reached out to those who 'Knew' to rekindle knowledge. It asserts that 'WE are the returned ones' and that the current era is seeing the beginnings of another 'Long Night.' The call is for those who are aware to inform others and for anyone who remembers to speak out, believing that if one person knows, others will also know.

Who Guards the Lost Hall?
This article, reprinted from 'Forgotten Ages,' discusses Edgar Cayce's psychic scenario for finding the Hall of Records in Egypt. It warns that improper attempts to enter the Hall could result in encounters with mysterious elements. The article recounts a story from Tom Valentine about an American Army Colonel who, in 1945, accompanied King Farouk to the Sphinx, where a secret entrance was revealed. Inside, they found a chamber with a statue of a 'guard with a sword.' The article notes a Coptic tradition describing three guarded statues with special powers: one of black agate that produces a 'whispering sound' to induce unconsciousness, a marble statue that can 'bite and choke,' and an alabaster statue that immobilizes intruders. The article concludes by suggesting that modern terms for these 'guards' could include vibrations that disorient the brain, poisons that disrupt bodily systems, or airborne toxins that cause paralysis, similar to defenses used in ancient Egyptian tombs.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue include UFO sightings and encounters, ancient mysteries (particularly Atlantis and Egypt), the concept of lost knowledge and ancient wisdom, and the idea of cyclical events and prophecies. The editorial stance appears to be one of promoting esoteric knowledge, ancient civilizations, and paranormal phenomena, encouraging readers to be aware of and share such information. There is a strong emphasis on the importance of memory, historical cycles, and the potential return or re-emergence of ancient peoples or their knowledge.
Title: The Stellar Energies
Issue Date: July-Aug., 1981 (Issue #61, Volume '81)
Publisher: The City of the Sun Foundation
Focus: New Age channelings, spiritual energies, ancient mysteries, and UFO phenomena.
Channelings and Spiritual Forecast
The issue opens with channelings from "The Golden Dawn," presented by Dave Bent of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. These messages are intended to provide understanding regarding New Age channelings. The publication "The Golden Dawn" is identified as being published by The City of the Sun Foundation in New Mexico, with data provided by Lucy Colson of Ojai, California.
A channeled message dated June 2, 1991, discusses the alignment and the opportunity for humanity to be incarnated at this time. It foretells that by 1992, the Soul contact will be made and felt, and those who survive the "fiery destiny of 1932" will be tempered. The world is described as entering a period of "graveness" and initiation into higher realms, specifically the fourth dimension, necessitating a "primary cleansing period."
Further channelings detail the "cleansing period" beginning in April 1992, with "tremendous stellar energies" affecting the planet's magnetic lines and causing strange events. These energies are expected to go "haywire," impacting the planet and its inhabitants. The period is described as a "testing and cleansing" influenced by a stellar lineup and seven eclipses. The forecast includes the resurgence of suppressed diseases, potential psychotronic warfare, and mind manipulation. However, it also offers "Light and Hope" for those on the spiritual path, suggesting a year to "touch the inner Soul" and become the "Christ." The channelings mention "great changes" and a "separating of the wheat from the chaff." It is suggested that "Space Commands" are present to protect "Light Bearers" during these critical times, with subtle changes building in late 1981 and increasing throughout 1982 and into 1933.
Book Review: Twilight of Atlantis
The cover prominently features "Twilight of Atlantis," a novel by Tuttle Jenelle. The book is presented as a question: "DID IT EXIST? YOU BE THE JUDGE!" It is described as a story of passions, suspense, greed, religious upheaval, and a struggle for power leading to the "terrifying destruction of what some consider as the worlds most advanced civilization." The book is 311 pages in softcover and available for $6.95 plus postage and handling from Adrian-Wilson Publishers in Phoenix, Arizona.
Philosophical Works and Publications
Page 3 features a notice about "THE GOLDEN DAWN" being the official publication of The City of the Sun Foundation, POB 356, Columbus, New Mexico 83029, published every two months on a freewill offering basis.
Additionally, a work titled "MATTER, LIFE, EVOLUTION" by John G. Elliott is advertised. This book is described as a "base rock philosophy concerning the invisible bio-electromagnetic plasmic second body," exploring how life on Earth is bound by bio-electromagnetic and nuclear forces. It is available in softcopy for $4.50 and hardcopy for $6.95, plus postage, from GIBSON-HILLER CO. PUBLISHER in Dayton, Ohio.
Ancient Sites and Pyramids
An article by Dr. Ronald P. Anjard, "NEW UNDERSTANDINGS OF PAST WONDERS AND REVELATIONS FROM THE ANCIENT SITES!", explores intriguing questions about the Pyramids, Stonehenge, Atlantis, and Lemuria, and the belief in UFOs and Ancient Astronauts. The author presents impressions from psychics who have visited these locations.
The article suggests the Sphinx's purpose was navigational for "flights of souls" and acted as a broadcast target for energy. It posits that powerful radiations were used to energize continents, and the animal kingdom was raised through "energy blasts." Radial lines of energy were transmitted to Europe, aligning with Giza's "pressure points."
The decline of Egypt's greatness is linked to the loss of "mystical technology" related to magnetic force-fields, gasses, ethers, and the "crystallized aton." The article notes that unlike other cultures, Egypt strived for purity in consciousness.
Dr. Anjard also discusses "PYRAMID DESIGN FOR GREATER EFFECTIVENESS." He explains that Earth's magnetic field originates at the poles and is the source of gravity. This magnetic force is said to power pyramids, which the ancients used to "recycle" energy back to Earth. Pyramids are described as ecological tools that charge negative ions and clean the air. The article highlights the importance of FREQUENCY and discusses the "Shensai series" of Chinese Pyramids, relating them to the seven chakras of Man. It asserts that the Cheops Pyramid is an inferior copy of the main Shensai Pyramids and that a 53-degree angle is more efficient than the common 51-degree angle.
Another section delves into "PYRAMIDS WERE ORIGINAL OCTAHEDRONS," suggesting that Kivas of the Southwest U.S. are inverted pyramids and that original pyramids were octahedrons designed to "control energies." It references William Swygard's theory that the Great Pyramid at Gizeh was composed of two pyramids, one inverted, constructed of a "glass-like substance" with copper caps, and that stones were levitated into place using focused energy.

Symbolic Interpretations
Pages 7 through 10 feature articles that delve into symbolic interpretations, possibly related to ancient artifacts or esoteric knowledge. Page 7, titled "INSTANT ZAP!", discusses "Ancient Ones," "Time-Lock," and "Sacred Places" that are "THOUGHT-GUARDED." It emphasizes personal "vibrations" and "INTENT" as keys to accessing these places, warning against "EGO-nature" or "SelfGlory."
Pages 8 and 9, under the heading "THE PHAESTOS DISK: AN ARTIFACT -- OF ATLANTIS? BY THE CHAPEL OF AQUARIA....", interpret symbols numbered 25 through 44. These interpretations link symbols to concepts like "cardinal-points boat," "Horn of ox," "Hide of animal," "Ox's foot," "feline genus," "horned sheep," "flying bird," "Marguerite or star-anemone," "OUT OF THE MUD (NIGHT) GROWS THE LOTUS!", "bone," "chakraquarter," and "Triangle with internal granulation."
Page 10 continues this symbolic interpretation with references to "Seated dove," "Fish," "insect, possibly a bee," "plant or tree sign," "forked spray," and "plant with a fan-shaped flower."
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are spiritual evolution, the impact of celestial alignments on Earth, the nature of consciousness, and the exploration of ancient mysteries, including Atlantis, UFOs, and the significance of pyramids. The editorial stance appears to be aligned with New Age and esoteric philosophies, promoting spiritual awareness and preparedness for predicted global changes. There is a strong emphasis on personal responsibility for spiritual growth and understanding, as well as an openness to unconventional theories about ancient civilizations and extraterrestrial phenomena.
This issue of Fortean Times, dated October 12, 1991, focuses on mysteries and unexplained phenomena, with a cover headline proclaiming 'mystery death UFO probe'. The magazine features articles on cryptozoology, ancient civilizations, UFO encounters, and purported psychic phenomena.
Articles
Mystery Death UFO Probe
This article details the investigation into the disappearance and death of Mr. Zygmunt Jan Adamski, 57, in West Yorkshire. His body was found on a coal heap, five days after he went missing. The case is particularly mysterious due to the location of the body and the fact that the man's surname, Adamski, is famously associated with UFOlogy. UFO sightings were reported in the Yorkshire area around the time of his disappearance, and the article notes that this is a follow-up to a previous report on the case. The investigators are seeking witnesses to the 'LOST FIVE DAYS' of Adamski's life.
Cosmic Seeds from Space? Earth's Future Children!
By Patrick O'Connell, this article explores the theory that Earth is undergoing a 're-seeding' by 'inter-dimensional forces' or 'Space Intelligences'. It references a report in GNOSTICA magazine about Dr. Andrija Puharich's claims regarding hundreds of 'metal-bending children' worldwide, who are allegedly part of a new race from different inter-dimensional systems. These children are said to be tested and evaluated for suitability for life on Earth. The article notes a potential link between the parents' Rh factor (positive) and the children's (negative), and suggests a connection between Ley Lines, ancient megalithic structures, and the conception of these 'starchildren'.
In Search of Dinosaurs.
This section presents a report from the Mackal-Powell Likouala Expedition, dated February 26, 1980, from Impfondo, Africa. The purpose of the expedition was to determine if reports of the Mokele-mbembe refer to a myth or real animals. The article traces historical accounts, starting with Abbe Lievan Bonaventure Proyart in 1776, who reported on monstrous animal tracks. It also mentions 'Trader Horn' (Alfred Aloysious Smith) and Captain Freiherr von Stein zu Lausnitz, who gathered reports of a similar animal in the Likouala-Congo region. Eyewitness descriptions from Congolese locals suggest an animal up to 15 meters long with a long neck and tail, reddish-brown to gray in color. The article notes the belief that speaking about observing a mokele-mbembe can lead to death, complicating information gathering. The expedition's results confirm that the Mokele-mbembe is likely a real animal, though its range has reduced, and it may now be extinct. The animal is described as a species unknown to science. Recommendations include further investigation and the construction of a highway to aid access.
MA-NOA: Lost City of the Ancient Atlanteans?
By Patrick O'Connell, this article discusses the legend of a 'GREAT ANCIENT LOST CITY' in the Sierra Parima region of Brazil. Professor Marcel Homet reportedly received directions from a Maku Indian chieftain to a city accessible through a tunnel entrance under a great arch, leading into an underground cave-system. Tradition suggests this network links South and North America and may have been used by Ancients to transport their craft. The city, MA-NOA, is described as being 'thought-guarded' by the crystal-amplified thoughts of the Ancient Ones.
Message from Another Planet.
This article, by Michael Hesemann, concerns 'The Lost Atlantis!' and recounts the contacts of George Adamski. It mentions the first contact on November 20, 1952, in the California desert, where a symbolic message was left on Adamski's footprint. A second encounter on December 13, 1952, yielded a negative film with unknown symbols. Adamski's book 'Flying Saucers Farewell' is cited, stating that these messages acknowledged ancient Earth civilizations and their philosophy, ultimately revealing the truth about the Lost Atlantis.
Advertisements and Other Content
The issue also includes advertisements for 'Uncanny Insight' (Tarot readings), the 'Institute For Advanced Perception', and 'Unique Games' (KNOW board game). There is also a promotion for 'The Psychic Observer' magazine and a book titled 'OAHSPE'S AMAZING PREDICTIONS OF THINGS TO COME' by Laura Horst, based on the original OAHSPE text.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the existence of unknown creatures (Mokele-mbembe), lost civilizations (Atlantis, MA-NOA), extraterrestrial contact (Adamski, Starchildren), and unexplained phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting reports and theories without necessarily endorsing them as fact, but rather as subjects worthy of investigation and discussion within the Fortean tradition.
This issue of THE NEW-ATLANTEAN JOURNAL, dated December 13, 1952, with a cover headline "ADAMSKI WRITINGS FROM ANOTHER PLANET," focuses on mysterious symbols, ancient civilizations, and UFO phenomena. The content spans historical and contemporary accounts, astrological forecasts, and personal testimonies.
Writings from Another Planet
The lead article discusses "Writings from Another Planet" attributed to George Adamski. The author draws parallels between symbols on a photographic message and ancient carvings found globally, including those on Pedra Pintada. These symbols are compared to metallic tablets from the Pater-Crespi Collection in Ecuador, the rock of Yolo in Peru, and writings found in Glozel, France, and among the Guanches of the Canary Islands. The article questions whether these writings are Atlantean or originated from extraterrestrial visitors. A German friend, Herbert M., revealed in 1976 that a symbol associated with the message is an aerial view of the southwestern part of Andros Island, possibly indicating an Atlantean building.
Mystery Hill and Ancient New England
An article by Arthur H. Hayward, "MYSTERY HILL or THRU THE TIME PORTAL IN ANCIENT NEW ENGLAND," explores the theory of Atlantis disappearing 6,000 years ago. It suggests that learned Atlanteans may have established colonies, including one at "MYSTERY HILL" in North Salem, New Hampshire, to preserve their knowledge. The article speculates that the dramatic changes following Atlantis's submersion may have influenced our current calendar systems (24-hour day, 12-month year). It describes a group of less than 250 souls setting up a temporary shelter on these shores as Atlantis settled.
A map is included, presented as the author's theory of the approximate location and configuration of the lost continent of Atlantis, showing underwater mountains, sea mounts, and proximity to the Azores, Gibraltar, and Africa. The map is based on a National Geographic Society article from June 1968 about the Atlantic Ocean Floor.
Cosmic Influences - Spring 1982
This section provides astrological predictions for Spring 1982. It notes that six planets (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto) will be retrograde, suggesting a period of introspection. Specific forecasts are given for Aries (danger of accidents in April, financial insight in May, good luck in June), Taurus (avoid confrontations in April, good for luxuries in May, business in June), Gemini (socializing in April, introspection in May, fun in June), Cancer (career advancement in April, social activities in May, occult studies in June), Leo (travel in April, raise in May, creativity in June), Virgo (adventures in April, art study in May, job advancement in June), Libra (stimulating April, financial gain in May, lucky June), Scorpio (work difficulties in April, relationship issues in May, money in June), Sagittarius (romantic encounter in April, work accomplishment in May, occult study in June), Capricorn (home disruption in April, business/finance in May, hard work in June), Aquarius (ingenious mind in April, home difficulties in May, good luck in June), and Pisces (financial losses in April, sweetness in May, nerves/accidents in June).
UFO Sightings by Dr. C. Ralph Campo
Dr. C. Ralph Campo reports two significant UFO sightings on Freeway 1-10 in California.
On Tuesday, December 15, 1981, at 10:20 PM, he saw a huge, totally black UFO with no lights or sound flying very low and fast. Five minutes later, a second, even larger UFO appeared. The craft were described as massive, solid blocks.
On Sunday, November 22, 1981, at 9:22 PM, while crossing the Colorado River bridge, Dr. Campo observed a bright green light falling at high speed over the mountains. It suddenly turned red, exploded like a ball of fire, and produced red smoke visible for minutes.
Other Features
The magazine also includes a section on "INVISIBLE HELPER" offering psychic readings for a fee, an advertisement for "SUPERKNOWLEDGE: INSTANT BRAIN-TO-MIND TAP," and an ad for "THE ACU-PULSE BANDTM" for natural health relief. A free solar horoscope and forecast offer is also advertised.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the exploration of ancient mysteries, particularly Atlantis and its potential connection to extraterrestrial visitors, the interpretation of ancient symbols and writings, and the reporting of unexplained aerial phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these subjects, presenting theories and personal accounts without definitive conclusions, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional understanding. The inclusion of astrological forecasts suggests an interest in broader influences on human life and events.
This issue of the magazine, identified by page number 40, features a prominent article titled "WEIRD ENCOUNTER" by Joan O'Connell. The cover story details a bizarre incident involving six members of an Army patrol in Chile's far north desert on April 25, 1977. They reported seeing two bright objects descend from the sky, one of which hovered nearby with a violet light. The patrol leader went to investigate and subsequently vanished for approximately 15 minutes. Upon his return, he had grown a beard indicating five days had passed, and he delivered a cryptic message: "You do not know who we are, nor where we come from. But I tell you that we shall soon return." The article highlights this as a classic 'contact' case, noting the unusual physical manifestation of beard growth as a new element, implying time and space distortion.
The Nature of Contact and Deception
The article "What you have above are all the classic symptoms..." by Joan O'Connell delves deeper into the implications of such encounters. It posits that the physical growth of the beard suggests five days were spent 'SOMEWHERE' and not in our 'time' or 'space,' a narrative seemingly intended by the entities. The author, drawing on over 20 years of UFO research, states a key fact: to understand 'them,' one must reverse the apparent logic of the case. Often, contactees are told one story, but the reality, especially under hypnotic regression, is quite different. The magazine suggests that 'Uninvited Visitors' may be intentionally misleading people, directing attention to one place while operating elsewhere, likening the Chilean soldier's experience to a 'Rip Van Winkle scam.'
Prophecy and Opposing Forces
An article titled "THE POWERS THAT OPPOSE US" discusses the concept of an 'Opposing Force' that hinders the dissemination of Truth. It identifies prophecy, both true and false, as a tool of this force. Such prophecies can originate from various 'entities,' including 'extraterrestrials' and 'angel' types, who may deliver the same message. The article questions whether these prophecies reveal sacred truths or set humanity back. It explains how false prophecies, when followed by predicted events like quakes and floods, create a belief system. However, when a major predicted event fails, the soothsayer loses credibility, making it difficult for a true revelation to gain national distribution. The author, with twenty years of experience, notes that very few prophecies actually occur, and the challenge lies in discerning truth from falsehood, suggesting that ultimately, 'what is the Truth? It is what YOU want it to be.'
Changing Times and Inner/Outer Shifts
"EARTHCHANGES: INNER AND OUTER!" by Rev. Thomas Allen Long addresses the profound changes occurring globally and within individuals. It links these changes to the end of one solar year (approximately 26,000 years) and the beginning of another, influenced by solar system and galactic energy patterns. The article emphasizes that 'hope is to cope,' and both require understanding. Fear is identified as the enemy of hope. It suggests that human thoughts disturb Earth, the Sun, and all material life. The author posits that humanity's actions have contributed to these changes, and our response to them will shape a New Age and Civilization. The concept of 'self-less-ness' and 'AT-ONE-MENT' with Cosmic Creation is presented as the path to harmony and balance, urging individuals to take responsibility for their environment and make conscious choices.
Book Reviews and Listings
The issue includes several book reviews and advertisements for related materials. Joan O'Connell reviews "EYE OF NEWT IN MY MARTINI" by Al G. Manning, describing it as a fun and educational read about creating abundance and good health. She also reviews "UFOS: KEY TO EARTH'S DESTINY" by Winfield S. Brownell, noting its focus on early contactees and their experiences, and "TWILIGHT OF ATLANTIS" by Jenelle Tuttle, a novel exploring ancient history and the destruction of Atlantis. Other listed books include "THE FAR JOURNEY" and "PSYCHIC ENERGY," as well as reports on UFO cover-ups and subterranean cities.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around UFO encounters, psychic phenomena, prophecy, and New Age philosophy. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry into UFO reports, emphasizing the potential for deception and the importance of independent analysis. There is a strong undercurrent of spiritual and personal transformation, advocating for self-responsibility, understanding, and a shift towards selfless consciousness as a means of navigating global changes and personal challenges. The magazine encourages readers to question, seek truth, and actively participate in shaping their reality and the future.
