Editorial Content

Letters to the Editor

The letters section includes correspondence from readers sharing their thoughts and seeking information. Dave Galvin writes about Baird T. Spalding's books on "The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East," questioning why Spalding, if his claims of eternal life were true, did not live for an even greater span. He also inquires about "time reverting machines" and the filming of the motion picture "Sermon on the Mount." Kenneth Willoughby proposes that disabled individuals may possess greater psychic abilities as a compensatory mechanism, citing increased telepathy and clairvoyance as potential examples.

Sarah Smith, Secretary of the Mission of Maitreya, expresses enjoyment of the magazine and requests another copy due to interest generated by their advertisement. Isavel Ester DeMille, at 81 years old, renews her subscription and shares her belief in Atlantean connections and her fascination with the figure of Thoth.

Editorial: The Survival

The editorial recounts a narrative of a cataclysmic event where the ground crumbled, the sky was rent by "bloody starshine," and a small temple stood as the only structure devoted to "the One." The location was hidden, and the old Priesthood mourned the destruction of worship and the elimination of those who did not want the old worship to continue. A brilliant "Arc" appeared in the sky, and a small craft descended, inviting a Priest to enter and rebuild humanity, offering a chance to teach "the Love of the One, the Knowledge of Truth and Justice, the timeless eternity." The Priest, feeling he had failed those left behind, accepts this new opportunity.

Ancient Energies: Building for a New Golden Age

This article, from the Ancient Mysteries Research Institute, describes a cataclysm that was swift and violent, preceded by decades of warning signs such as earthquakes, tidal waves, storms, erratic weather, famines, floods, and increased radiations due to a disappearing magnetic field. It also notes the build-up of ice at the poles causing Earth's wobble and instability. The cataclysm itself was a combination of a comet passing close, planetary alignment, and a global war. The result was a planetary reaction that caused the Earth's poles to shift, continents to convulse, mountains to rise, and islands to sink. Ocean waters rose, and hurricane-force winds swept across the continents.

Following the cataclysm, the planet's poles stabilized, and the oceans returned to their basins. However, very little had survived. The geography was transformed, climates reversed, and most of the human race was obliterated, leaving only scattered survivors with lost knowledge and technology. Fortunately, some survivors with wisdom had foreseen the event and preserved knowledge. They mapped the Earth's energy centers and directed the construction of structures like pyramids, stone circles, and standing stones around the globe. Meditators and transmitters of psychic powers harmonized at these sites to energize the world system and link with solar magnetic winds.

The article further explains that the earth energy system had profound effects on the human population, enabling telepathic communication and influencing growth. It describes a "Golden Age" that followed, an era of perfect bliss and holistic being, where humanity had access to limitless energy potential. However, old tendencies like competition and jealousy resurfaced, causing the energy system to fail. The Earth's magnetism diminished, the high-altitude water vapor canopy dissipated, leading to storms and the build-up of ice caps, signaling the end of the Golden Age and the loss of the means to prevent another cataclysm.

Secrets of the Mystic Powers of Crystal

This article discusses the historical use of natural clear quartz crystal for its phenomenal powers, suggesting it was treasured by ancient races for longevity, prosperity, and serenity. It posits that crystal has a measurable electronic charge that enhances mental powers, balances the aura, and brings energy. The Institute of Psychic Research is offering crystals as part of a test program, encouraging readers to share their experiences.

The metaphysical voice of Arizona

This is an advertisement for the OMEGA SPIRITUAL DIRECTORY, a monthly newspaper providing New Age news and insights from Arizona, available via subscription nationwide.

Know the Secrets of the Pyramid

This section explains that pyramids are electromagnetic condensers generating a subatomic energy field. It suggests that Atlantean engineers could control the weather using energy fields and a special box called the "Ark of the Covenant." Pyramids are presented as antennas for this system, and the article promotes two books: "Pyramid Energy Explained" and "Pyramid Energy and the Second Coming."

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around ancient mysteries, cataclysmic events, earth energies, psychic phenomena, and the potential for human evolution and spiritual advancement. The editorial stance appears to be one of exploring alternative theories and esoteric knowledge, encouraging readers to question conventional understanding and to investigate the unexplained. There is a strong emphasis on ancient civilizations, particularly Atlantis, and the idea of a lost or hidden knowledge that could benefit humanity.

This issue of "Revelations of Things to Come" magazine, dated August 6, 1982, presents a collection of intriguing and often bizarre news items and speculative articles, primarily focusing on paranormal phenomena, ancient mysteries, and future predictions. The magazine features contributions from various writers and sources, exploring topics ranging from unexplained events to theories about ancient civilizations and New Age living.

Scoop Snoops into: The Strange!

This section presents several short, unusual news items:

Woman Bursts into Flames

A startling report from Chicago on August 6, 1982, details a woman who allegedly burst into flames on a South Side street for no apparent reason. A witness claimed to have seen her walking across the street before she became engulfed in flames. The body was burned beyond recognition, and identification was not immediately available. A subsequent headline, "Woman Found Burning Was Set Afire After Death," suggests a more complex and grim scenario, with a medical examiner stating the woman was doused with accelerant and set afire at least 12 hours after her death. The cause of death remained unknown, and the witness's account of seeing her walking while aflame added to the mystery.

I Was Struck by King Tut Curse

This item recounts the alleged experience of Lt. George LaBrash, who was guarding the gold death mask of the Egyptian boy King. LaBrash reportedly experienced a heart attack, which his attorney, Mike Hebel, claims was caused by guarding the mask. The article quotes LaBrash saying, "The mask started to hypnotize me." The source for this story is cited as "STAR" dated February 9, 1982.

Townsfolk Riot Over Pregnancy of "Virgin Saint"

A report from Nueva Jerusalem, Mexico, describes a riot involving 2,000 residents sparked by the announcement that a girl known as the 'Virgin Saint' was pregnant. The girl, Maria de Jesus, was famed for her supposed visions of the Virgin of the Rosary. State police were called in when the disturbance erupted, with some residents charging fornication and others believing the pregnancy was due to the 'Divine Spirit.' At least 10 people were seriously injured.

Chinese Attracted to Magnetic Shoes

According to a report from Peking dated September 16, 1982, Chinese doctors have developed magnetic shoes as a new cure for high blood pressure, nervous exhaustion, insomnia, and dizziness. The CHINA DAILY reported that 340 patients in China volunteered for testing, with about 300 experiencing recoveries, 85 of which were described as "Very impressive."

The article further explains that these shoes have permanent magnets in the soles that touch specific points on the foot, which are believed to stimulate the nervous system and relieve pain. Yuan Zhonghus, head of a national research group, is quoted explaining the sensitivity of foot points to electricity.

Pollution Blamed for 2 Percent of U.S. and Canadian Deaths

Washington – A congressional study indicates that as many as 51,000 people in North America may have died in 1930 from illnesses caused by sulfur pollution, such as acid rain. This toll represents nearly 2 percent of the total deaths for that year in the United States and Canada. The study warns that the number of deaths could increase if pollution is not curbed, projecting as many as 57,000 premature deaths by the year 2000 if sulfur emissions remain constant. Airborne pollution, largely from the U.S. industrial belt, is carried by rainfall to New England and eastern Canada, where it has been blamed for making lakes uninhabitable and harming trees and other plant life.

Pulsor: Cosmic Life Force Lens

This section is an advertisement for the "Pulsor," described as a modern solid-state electronic microcrystal composite transceiver that corrects and amplifies the body's natural aura and polarity. It claims to protect against electromagnetic bombardment, which is said to be intense in the modern world, altering body polarity and potentially causing tension, frustration, apprehension, disease, and psychic problems. Laboratory tests on animals have reportedly shown changes in hormones, blood sugar, and enzymes. The Pulsor is designed by Dr. George Yao and is said to create a protective force shield by removing charge from electrons, converting them to neutrinos. It is marketed for protection from environmental contamination, maintaining blood chemistry, and promoting stress reduction. The advertisement lists various forms of Pulsor amplifiers available and provides contact information for YAO INTERNATIONAL in Newport Beach, California.

Revelations of Things to Come by Earlyne C. Chaney

This article introduces the book "Revelations of Things to Come" by Earlyne C. Chaney, a mystic and author with 30 years of experience in writing, teaching, and healing. The book aims to provide answers to profound questions about the future, including the period through the year 2000 and beyond, the possibility of World War III, doomsday scenarios, the emergence of the feminine principle, the return of spacegods, inner-earth people, and the Second Coming of Christ. It also touches upon the Sphinx phenomenon, the fate of California, the lost Hall of Records, and protection during future changes.

The article highlights a specific experience of Chaney's initiation in the Great Pyramid, where a shaft of light superimposed her rosary, symbolizing the transmutation of the vision of Isis into that of the Virgin Mary. It also mentions a UFO and Pyramid photograph taken as Chaney and 200 followers entered the Great Pyramid for an initiation ceremony.

The book promises to provide answers to questions about UFOs, the hollow earth concept, miracles, pole shifts, the anti-Christ, the lost Hall of Records, and the changing human bloodstream. Readers are invited to purchase the book through bookstores or by sending a check or money order to Astara.

The "About the Author" section details Chaney's background and lists her other works, including "Remembering-the Autobiography of a Mystic," "Kundalini and the Third Eye," "The Book of Beginning Again," and "Secrets of Mount Shasta."

Indian Ocean Area – Cradle of Human Race by Dr. Ronald P. Anjard, Sr.

This article explores the theory that the remnants of a great civilization, Lemuria, dating back 25,000 years, lie beneath the Indian Ocean. This landmass, connected to Asia and Africa, is believed to have been submerged by periodic cataclysmic landshifts. According to researchers from the International Society for the Investigation of Ancient Civilizations, the Lemurians were a pure line of Aryan-speaking people.

As Lemuria began to sink, its inhabitants migrated to Asia, Australia, and the Pacific islands. The article suggests that Atlantians also spread into North and South America and settled in the Nile Valley and the shores of the Red Sea. The Lemurians are credited with colonizing the Nile Valley, developing shipbuilding, commerce, writing, and mathematics, and establishing Babylonian and Aryan civilizations. Their literature reportedly developed to a high degree, culminating in the compilation of over 1,000 poems describing their ancestry and religion, known as the Rigveda. Sanskrit is presented as the national language that emerged thereafter, with similarities noted in the languages of the Maoris of New Zealand, Tuscany (Italy), Scots, Hebrew, and Greek, indicating Sanskrit's classical roots.

Historical information from Sri Lanka supports the occurrence of cataclysmic landshifts, and marine biologists suggest Lanka was once part of a great landmass. Professor V.R. Ramachandran of the Society of India believes the Mediterranean race originated in Asia, in the submerged region of Lemuria. The article concludes that evidence points to the cradle of mankind being buried under the Indian Ocean as part of Lemuria.

The Awareness of Life! by Voyko Marco

This article, written by Voyko Marco, Executive Director of International Services for the Consumers International Club (a subsidiary of The New Atlantean Journal), addresses the challenges of modern life, including poor economic conditions and climatic changes. Marco encourages readers to "DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT" and suggests the barter and trade system as a way to navigate economic difficulties. He advises listing one's expertise and needs, and utilizing local newspapers for trade ads. The article also mentions a "terrible Spectre" representing sick and degenerate minds developing within the country, and commends companies for making their products tamper-proof.

The author also discusses self-sufficiency, suggesting growing food in apartments or on owned land. He advocates for pooling resources with family or friends to secure land for the future. The article emphasizes the arrival of a new 'age' requiring awareness and consciousness, and the importance of acting upon what is happening. It highlights the need to control food supplies and suggests growing one's own fruits, vegetables, and raising livestock. The article concludes with a call to action, encouraging readers to seek more information on participating in a New Age community and owning land, providing a mailing address in St. Petersburg, Florida.

A New Model of Late Prehistory – Part One by Michael Baran

In this article, Michael Baran presents a theoretical model that revises current concepts of late prehistoric periods, based on the belief that secrecy-oriented sub-cultures in Atlantis and Lemuria (Mu) tapped unusual energy through deep-earth excavations. Baran asserts that his model is internally solid and supported by external evidence, offering rational hypotheses for ancient cryptologies and modern unexplained phenomena. This overview synthesizes esoteric, legendary, and archival data with modern scientific concepts.

Baran's research suggests that the legendary sub-continents of Mu and Atlantis were real and possessed technological subcultures based on a unique energy source. He believes an ancient polarian-Atlantean-Lemurian power complex shaped human destinies, and that survivors of prehistoric cataclysms are the source of the modern UFO phenomenon. Evidence is presented indicating ancient groups were aware of a natural force related to gravity.

The article posits that these ancients developed techniques to harness this occult resource, located at a level of about ten to twenty miles below the earth's crust, for applications including space flight (UFOs) and megalithic constructions. The Bermuda Triangle is mentioned as another enigma related to deep-earth activities of ancient technologic subcultures. Baran suggests that prehistoric humanity, outside these technologic complexes, attributed these activities to "acts of the gods," leading to mythological formulations. He argues that excessive zeal in gravity-tapping activity in Atlantis and Lemuria induced earth-crustal instabilities, leading to world cataclysms and the demise of these continents.

Baran contrasts this with modern scientific technology, which he believes has yet to appreciate the vast power potential literally under our feet, having confined its activity mainly to surface regions and space. He suggests that probing the earth to greater depths could lead to different technological avenues.

Footnotes

Two footnotes are provided:
1. Baran, Michael: "Atlantis Reconsidered" (Exposition Press, Smithtown, N. Y. 1981.)
2. Baran, Michael: "Insights into Prehistory" (Exposition Press 1982.)

A further footnote discusses how increasing atomic nuclear resonance through magneto-gravitonic fields could lead to bizarre changes in the solidity of objects and phenomena reported in the Bermuda Triangle.

Deep-Earth Energy and Gravitons

This section delves deeper into the concept of deep-earth energy. The author questions whether scientists could be unaware of such a natural energy source, suggesting its existence lies in its unique nature and occult location. Deep-earth regions are proposed to possess a mass-energy ambience unparalleled in the surface world. The article refers to "electrogravitomagnetic fields" and notes that in some cases, electronic effects predominate, while in others, magnetic components are more evident. Phenomena reported in the Bermuda Triangle are attributed to direct deep-earth energy fields with a predominantly gravitonic component.

The concept of a unique mass-energy ambience in deep-earth regions is explained by considering the dense concentration of matter in all directions below the surface, as opposed to the mostly space around surface points. Atomic nuclei are said to emit tiny subparticles called gravitons, which are minuscule in size and mass, in constant motion at the speed of light. These gravitons, like other quantum particles, are minute packets of energy.

As one goes deeper below the earth's surface, the atomic mass and density of emitted gravitons increase, potentially creating an enormous gravitonic ambience. The effect on atomic structure and solidity of an object under such a field could be overwhelming. The Bermuda Triangle is again mentioned, suggesting old Atlantean excavations might provide an escape portal for disintegrative deep energy fields, especially during increased solar activity.

The article states that duplicating such fields near the surface is impossible due to the unique concentration of matter miles underground. The uniqueness of this energy is attributed to the sheer density of gravitons, which exist only in deep-earth regions.

Baran reiterates the question of whether ancient Atlanteans and Muvians tapped this deep-earth resource, suggesting that accepting the hypothesis of a unique mass-energy potential in deep-earth regions, coupled with archaic sources identifying energy-tapping activities, warrants reconsidering the historicity of these lands.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores themes of the unexplained, paranormal events, ancient mysteries, and future prophecies. There is a strong leaning towards speculative theories, particularly those involving ancient civilizations (Atlantis, Lemuria), extraterrestrial contact (UFOs, spacegods), and esoteric knowledge. The editorial stance appears to be open to unconventional ideas and presents them as plausible possibilities, often citing anecdotal evidence, witness accounts, and speculative research. The publication encourages readers to question conventional understanding and explore alternative perspectives on history, science, and the nature of reality. The emphasis on "New Age" concepts, self-sufficiency, and spiritual awareness is also evident, particularly in the sections related to Earlyne C. Chaney and Voyko Marco.

This issue of "Exploring Atlantis" is a spiritually-focused publication, featuring channeled information and articles on esoteric topics. The cover prominently announces a new series of channeled information brought forth by Rev. Frank Alper, D.D., who is described as widely respected for the purity of his channeling. The cover also lists several topics related to Atlantis and healing, such as "The Great Healing Temple," "Crystals & Magnetic Energies," and "The Caste System & Mutants."

An order form is included for "Exploring Atlantis" from The Arizona Metaphysical Society, offering copies for a donation of $10.00 plus $1.00 for postage and handling, with a four-week delivery time.

Is Earth Intentionally Bombarded with Brain Controlling Waves Called "ELF"?

This article asserts that no external energy source or wave can affect one's mind or soul unless permitted by one's own thoughts, emphasizing personal control over one's mental levels.

Stories Etched In The Rocks

Authored by Katherine H. Roe, this article discusses ancient picture writing found on a cliff by the Spokane River in Washington State. These etchings are considered the oldest story in stone in the area. Initially dismissed by some scientists as "rock doodlings," the local Indians deny making them. An Old Indian Chief attributes them to "Big, big white men." Professor O.L. Opsjon of Iceland studied these symbols worldwide and found a man in Iceland who could decipher them, likening the discovery to the Rosetta Stone's role in understanding cuneiform.

The article posits that these messages were created by Atlanteans before their continent's destruction. Four men, possibly Atlanteans, flew to the area to reseed the land after a great ice age. They were later joined by fifty others who arrived in four saucer-type vehicles and a large freight craft. The article speculates that these Atlanteans may have planted Giant Sequoias, Birch, Ponderosa Pine, Spruce, and various bushes found along the West Coast, and also brought animals to the continent. Their seeding efforts extended as far north as the Arctic Circle, and they left messages on canyon walls along Western Rivers.

The Cause of the Ice Age and Atlantis's Destruction

Further details emerge regarding the ice age and Atlantis. The Atlanteans explained that the ice age was caused by the destruction of a planet called Argo, located beyond Mars. The impact of a great asteroid from Argo's debris hit the North Polar Region, displacing the North Magnetic Pole and forming the Arctic Ocean, which led to the ice age. This event, occurring over twenty thousand years ago, caused widespread trouble, including volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tidal waves, and the sinking of the continent of Lemuria.

Legends from "Pigmy Kitabou" mention little people going into underground caves for safety during this cold period. The Atlanteans also linked the constellation of the Southern Cross influencing Saturn to Argo's explosion due to a disruption in the Laws of Gravity. The rings around Saturn are considered debris from Argo.

After the ice melted, the Atlanteans returned to repopulate the continent. They meticulously recorded these events in stone using a special "Ruby Paint" blasted into rock formations with directed lightning from their flying saucers. Three types of messages were left: the Chronogram, Painted Figures, and rock alignments.

In Southern Utah, "The Painted Men of Horseshoe Canyon" petroglyphs depict human figures and animals. Professor Opsjon found similar records in Iceland, Denmark, and Thebes.

The catastrophe that led to Atlantis's submersion was indirectly caused by the displacement of the North Magnetic Pole when the asteroid from Argo hit Earth. The Nordic Saga indicates that in 9564 B.C., a significant shift in the magnetic pole created a vacuum under Atlantis, causing its rapid collapse into the ocean.

The rock messages and surviving Northern European writings suggest the Atlanteans possessed a civilization comparable to our own. The issue concludes with a warning that the magnetic pole is still shifting, and another large movement could cause global trouble.

Centre For The Ray

This section discusses the "Shining Ancient Ones" who handed down knowledge from the stars through glyphs and symbols before Atlantis was destroyed. It traces the history of the first Atlantean race, the Red Skinned Peoples of Adam, their transmigration, and the development of their culture from a simple gathering to a complex empire. The article notes a shift from a balance of science and wisdom to a technologically driven elite, where reason was divorced from intuition, a parallel drawn to the current "White Race." It suggests that Atlantis, like all things, grew old and declined, but its essence was preserved and propagated through "arks" carrying seeds and records to various lands, including the British Isles, Africa, and the Americas.

The article then describes a climb up the mountain Twm Barlwm in Wales, a location chosen by Atlanteans for its high ground in anticipation of continental upheavals. The mist-covered mountain and the carefully planted fir trees are described.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around ancient civilizations, particularly Atlantis, and their advanced knowledge, spiritual insights, and cataclysmic events. There is a strong emphasis on channeled information, extraterrestrial contact (UFOs, interdimensional beings), and esoteric concepts like karma, auric fields, and inner earth dwellers. The editorial stance appears to be one of exploring alternative histories and spiritual explanations for phenomena, often presenting theories that challenge conventional scientific or historical narratives. The magazine promotes the idea that ancient wisdom is being rediscovered and that humanity has a spiritual connection to cosmic events and beings.

This issue of The New Atlantean Journal, identified by its page number 36 and the holiday greeting, presents a diverse range of content. It includes a descriptive piece on a mountain called Twm Barlwm, a detailed chronological timeline of Earth's history and human civilization, information about the "WORLD PEACE NETWORK," and an advertisement for a "TELEPATHY MACHINE."

Twm Barlwm Description

The issue begins with a description of Twm Barlwm, a mountain whose summit is clustered with the foundations of ancient, crumbled buildings, forming right-angled patterns that are not marked on Ordnance Survey maps. The ridge is approximately 1250 feet above sea level, offering expansive views. The mountain is now home to sheep and beetles, but historically, it was a site of mining in Roman times and earlier, with evidence of battles fought and a fortress built. Local legend speaks of an ancient King Barlwm who housed his gold in a tomb on the summit, though no record of such a king exists today. The name "Twm Barlwm" is interpreted as "raised, exposed mound or motte." The peak features a great conical mound constructed from stones on the eastern end, forming a long vertical embankment with low mounds and ditches. This conical mound is surrounded by a lower ringwork and has a flattened top.

The text then shifts to a more mystical and symbolic narrative, describing a clearing mist and a sense of being rooted to the spot by the presence of a great wall. It speaks of an inner eye separating from the outer, a door taking shape, and a narrow corridor leading to an oval sepulchre. Within this sepulchre, a swirling whirlpool of clouds clears to reveal a blue sky, with concentric ripples emanating into it from the cardinal points. The floor is described as lapis lazuli, meant "to cool and relax the receptive arches of the feet." At the center of the circle stands an altar of white stone, filled with water from a nearby well. As the distant star rises, hieroglyphs on temple walls fade into relief, and a ray of the star strikes through an aperture, illuminating the water and making it appear to catch fire.

Further symbolic imagery follows, depicting a woman in soft blue raising her arms, her fingers casting ripples of silver and gold into a bowl of water, which she drinks. A man kneels behind her, listening intently to soundless words. The language of colors is transmitted as a silent work set within new frontiers built upon a new fusion of races, with the tradition of the one unbroken. The narrative mentions many names and forms, including Father, Mother, and Rising Light, and a courtyard where one tree grew from one seed and bore many fruits.

The rays of the sun pass through an upper aperture, casting reflected light into the chamber. Those who held hands in a circle would gather there, as they were one, in one, and by the three. For centuries of darkness, they would not gather upon the mountain top again. The text quotes, "It is foolish and nonsense!" people might cry, not knowing their true substance, thinking they beheld all knowledge, and living forever within the "Eternal Transcience of Illusion." The passage concludes with a sense of unease as "great wings of darkness" beat across the horizon, and the void stirs, suggesting that while the inevitable cannot be withheld, a forestalling is achievable, and a new day dawns when the "white flame touches the brow."

WORLD PEACE NETWORK

Pages 37-38 introduce the "WORLD PEACE NETWORK," a co-creation initiative through prayer and meditation. It invites individuals to become part of a global network that daily offers prayer, loving meditation, and harmonizing thought projections for humanity and Planet Earth. The goal is to consciously co-create a "world at-one" by realizing spiritual oneness. The network encourages forming a "SHARED VISION" and participating in a "Universal Prayer for World Harmony." Becoming a NETWORKER can involve projecting the prayer, distributing information, organizing gatherings, or subscribing to a monthly letter. The TRUTH RESEARCH FOUNDATION is listed as the contact point.

Page 38 provides the text for the "UNIVERSAL PRAYER FOR WORLD HARMONY," outlining steps for prayer and meditation, and suggesting specific times for "DAILY ONENESS PROJECTION" and "WORLD CIRCLE PROJECTION" to amplify the collective effort.

Advertisement: TELEPATHY MACHINE!

Page 39 features an advertisement for the "TELECOM XII TELEPATHY MACHINE!" This device is described as a way to "Influence others at a distance! Send thought messages to friends and loved ones far away!" It claims to be an "actual telepathy machine" based on quantum physics and "psionic 'Black Box'" principles. The ad states it uses "empathetic resonance" to couple thought waves with energy fields, achieving "amazing results." It promises that "almost everyone can operate the device successfully even without prior experience in ESP." The ad lists possibilities such as influencing a boss, attracting a mate, making people like you, and increasing luck. The TELECOM XII comes fully assembled for $74.95 ($85 outside USA), with full instructions and prepaid postage included. A "BONUS OFFER" includes the book 'The Black Box & Other Psychic Generators' and a catalog of "The Unusual" for ordering now.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include ancient history, mythology, spirituality, and the concept of interconnectedness. The "CENTRE FOR THE RAY OF THE PYRAMID" and the "WORLD PEACE NETWORK" suggest a focus on esoteric knowledge, spiritual evolution, and global harmony. The inclusion of a detailed chronology from the dawn of life to historical periods indicates an interest in understanding humanity's place within a vast cosmic and historical framework. The advertisement for a telepathy machine aligns with the broader theme of exploring advanced or unconventional human capabilities. The editorial stance appears to be one that embraces mystical interpretations of history and promotes spiritual development and global peace through collective consciousness and prayer.

This issue of 'ASTROLOGY: KEY TO THE RELIGION OF GOD' delves into comparative mythology, ancient mysteries, and esoteric topics, spanning pages 40 through 49.

Article: Excerpt from ASTROLOGY: KEY TO THE RELIGION OF GOD

The primary article, excerpted from 'ASTROLOGY: KEY TO THE RELIGION OF GOD' by Gardiner James, draws striking parallels between the three-year ministry of Jesus and the play 'Hercules Oetaeus' by the Roman playwright Seneca. The author posits that Seneca's play, written at least ten years before the Gospel accounts, presents Hercules with many similar attributes to Jesus. Hercules, like Jesus, is described as being born of a virgin (Alcmene) and fathered by Zeus (the God-head). He was also called saviour, the Good Shepherd, and the 'Prince of Peace,' sent by the Heavenly Father not to subjugate nations by force but by divine wisdom and persuasion. Hercules, like Jesus, accepted death voluntarily to be elevated to a place in heaven. His mission was to walk the earth of sorrow, humbling himself as a menial servant to bring peace. He retained his divine character but was subject to the laws of the flesh. Abandoned by friends, he suffered in silence. The article quotes Hercules groaning in his death throes, "Take thou my spirit in thy hands," paraphrasing Jesus' reputed words, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." The article notes that nature reacted to Hercules' death with darkness and thunder, and Hercules' final words were "consummatum est" (it is finished or accomplished), mirroring Jesus' words in John 19:30. The Peshitta version of the Bible is cited to read "It is fulfilled" for Jesus' last words. The author argues that the Roman Church might suggest the Herculean play was inspired by Jesus' life, but considers this unlikely, as Rome was unaware of Jesus' ministry and its activities were confined to the Hebrews. Pontius Pilate's role is seen as considering the trial a local Jewish occurrence, unimportant to Roman rule.

Book Review: "INSIGHT INTO PREHISTORY" by Michael Baran

This section reviews "INSIGHT INTO PREHISTORY" by Michael Baran, a 114-page hardcover book published by Exposition Press, Inc. The book explores the disappearance of Atlantis, the power of the Atlanteans, their potential influence on other ancient civilizations, and the possibility of surviving Atlanteans living deep beneath the ground. It also connects Atlantean power to mysteries like the Great Pyramids, the Bermuda Triangle, and UFO sightings. The reviewer praises Michael Baran's foresight and research, stating the book offers possible answers to these questions and is "very well written." The reviewer also notes that Michael Baran has another article in the New Atlantean Journal and considers him a "brave man" for articulating his findings.

Article: THE MC ALESTER, OKLAHOMA CAVE MONSTERS by Patrick O'Connell

This article reports on an alleged inner-earth cave entrance northeast of McAlester, Oklahoma. Explorers describe entering through a small entrance and finding large steps descending to an unknown depth. The steps are reportedly 19" high, 10' from side to side, and 3' in width. The cave has been explored to a depth of a mile without finding an end, and a "bottomless pit" is noted alongside the steps. One group of three cave explorers encountered a "gaint beast" (possibly a Yeti) that walked on two feet. When one explorer was attacked, he fired his .45 caliber Colt at the beast. While the other two escaped, a rock slide covered the cave entrance. After removing the rocks, more monsters appeared, and one grabbed the explorer by the feet as he tried to escape. The three men, who later served in the Korean War, planned to re-enter the cave. Rev. Charles Marcoux wrote in the New Atlantean Journal in May 1981 that the owner of the land, now deceased, would not let anyone near the cave due to missing livestock and the placement of crosses and hexes to ward off evil spirits. Rev. Marcoux also spoke to Victor C. Johnson, who had obtained firsthand facts from the elderly owner. An expedition with Mr. Johnson was postponed. The article speculates about the forces behind the monsters and suggests that the remains of a Great Ancient Civilization might exist in the Grand Canyon, with underground tunnels spreading throughout the Southwest. It also mentions Hopi legend, with Rev. Marcoux believing the Hopi left their underworld civilizations from the Colorado River area, hinting at a future article titled "Sipapu- Cave? Entrance to the Hopi Underworld."

Article: GUIDELINES FOR SPACE CONTACT by Myron (Astar Command)

Reprinted from SAUCER SCOOP, this article provides "GUIDELINES FOR SPACE CONTACT." Key points include:

1. Do not try to contact 'Space People'; they can contact you at any time or place.
2. Prepare yourself spiritually for useful work, which means conscious effort to attune to the highest, most beautiful, and eternal within oneself, and to help others find upliftment, peace, and inner joy.
3. Live each day in Service to the Creator; your aura reveals your worthiness and capabilities.
4. Live each day as if it were your last, collecting your "mental baggage" and living without regret.
5. Negation breeds fear and doubt; evil preys on the unprepared, confused, and ignorant.
6. Spiritual understanding is key to all UFO activity. The Earth is a battleground where forces for Evil employ large ships, similar to Christ Forces. Unprepared Earthlings seeking contact must establish a positive Force Field. Negative forces can abduct thousands of people, animals, water, and vegetation for "nefarious purposes."

Poetry Section

The issue includes several poems:

• "TO ALL EAGLES" by Michael Kings, urging eagles to come home and glow, as "the time is now."
• "NIGHT STALKER" by Joan and Mike, a poem about friendly hawks and the need to stalk and blend.
• "FROM THE GOLDEN EAGLE" to "DENNIS MY FRIEND," about blending, mending, and a new trend.
• A poem addressed to "BROTHERS AND SISTERS ALL," stating "IT IS TIME TO ANSWER MY CALL" and referencing "OUR BASIC LAW" and "OUR 12 AND BASIC LAW."
• A personal reflection from "MY FATHER CREATOR, I AM THE GOLDEN SUN," about having fun and playing.
• "HE TOLD ME" by Richard Shuck, a poem advising to have no fear, unfold, go where directed, experience the trail, gain knowledge, and tell others of time spent clearing errors.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the search for hidden knowledge, comparative mythology, ancient civilizations, and spiritual or esoteric beliefs. The editorial stance appears to be one that explores unconventional theories, draws connections between religious narratives and ancient myths, and provides guidance for individuals interested in spiritual development and potential contact with non-terrestrial or higher dimensional entities. There is a clear interest in phenomena such as UFOs, Atlantis, and paranormal experiences, presented with a blend of investigative reporting and speculative interpretation. The publication seems to cater to an audience interested in alternative histories and spiritual philosophies.

This issue of The New Atlantean Journal, identified by the subscription code 'CMA', focuses on themes of future destruction, ancient civilizations, and the lost continent of Atlantis. The cover prominently features the title 'FUTURE DESTRUCTION ATLANTIS The Lost Continent' and an illustration of a pyramid with pillars, along with postal information.

Ancient Civilizations and Atlantis Theories

The issue presents a speculative narrative about the fall-out from erupting volcanoes and the progress of 'chosen ones' whose stories are preserved in legends and campfire tales of Indian tribes. These beings, referred to as 'Giant Gods,' are credited with teaching advanced methods of planting, medicine, and astronomy, enabling the creation of accurate calendars and the development of complex civilizations through irrigation and new grains. Their appearance across North, South, and Central America at roughly the same time suggests survival from a catastrophe. Their works were inscribed in stone, and they were generally accepted by local natives, retaining a 'God' status.

The author then returns to the present, explaining the basis for these theories. Evidence cited includes:

• Atlantis Remains: Structures around the perimeter of Atlantis on surrounding continents (Americas, Europe, Ireland, England, Africa) show knowledge advanced beyond native populations.
• Stonehenge: Considered either a new beginning or the end of a very advanced civilization.
• Peru: Figures carved in the ground, recognizable only from the air and covering miles.
• Egypt: Pyramids and giant structures are placed in the same category, raising many mysteries.
• 'Mystery Hill' (North Salem, New Hampshire): Exhibits architecture similar to other ancient sites.
• New England Coast: Clues suggest numerous other settlements, including the 'Mullin's Stone' and the 'Brusseau Stone' in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.
• 'Sacrificial Stone' (North Scituate, Rhode Island): Described with a blood groove and pouring lip, similar to one at 'Mystery Hill'.

The author posits that the people of Atlantis foresaw an impending disaster and left a map, including walls outlining their homeland and star alignments, to guide future discovery. This map is described with specific features: walls supported by mountains, ending at undersea mountain sites, double walls separating a canal (as described by Plato), and nine states with a central capital, suggesting an area with ample warmth and moisture for agriculture, supported by volcanic ash. The text also mentions a fracture line running through the capital, indicating a thin earth crust and supporting the idea of hot baths in Atlantis.

The author expresses a desire for research vessels using new technology like 'Seabeam' to map the ocean floor and potentially discover submerged continents or cities.

Book Review: "PRECISION MAP DOWSING"

A book review by Joan O'Connell covers "PRECISION MAP DOWSING" by Hank Smyth, published by ESOTERIC PUBLICATIONS. The book is described as technically perfect, readable for beginners, and a must for the advanced. It covers all aspects of dowsing, from instruments to locating missing persons and treasure. The reviewer strongly recommends buying and using the book, suggesting it will enrich one's mental and physical well-being.

A separate advertisement for Hank Smyth's 'Complete Dowsing Services' is also included.
