Editorial: A Journey Into The Ultra-Dimensional - Or - The Final Phase-Shift!

By Joan O'Connell, the editorial discusses a profound shift occurring in humanity and the planet, referred to as 'phase-shifting'. This shift involves an evolution of consciousness and physical form, moving towards higher frequency levels and the development of a 'Light-Body'. O'Connell explains that this is not a new phenomenon but a culmination of a long process, with outward signs including climatic changes and increased solar activity. The shift will result in the merging of Man's physical and subtle bodies into a single, unified form. The editorial also touches upon the concept of 'parallel universes' becoming reality and the existence of 12 'openings' into alternate worlds. It highlights the role of 'Light' groups in stabilizing these transitions and mentions that many individuals have a pre-incarnationary 'job' related to this process. The concept of a 'New Land' is presented as a place of Love and Learning, a new beginning for 'New Man', with a separation occurring between those who elevate and those left behind.

Letters to the Editor

This section features correspondence from readers. 'Ruthe' from Stoneham, MA, expresses willingness to pay more for the subscription, to which the editorial board responds by valuing all readers and not wishing to increase prices. Mrs. Genevieve Pilkington from Chicago, IL, finds the journal interesting for its insights into antiquity and Atlantis, praising the work and eagerly awaiting future issues. Orestes Wilson from Reading, PA, comments on prophecies and 'Project: World Evacuation', noting that predicted 'huge natural catastrophes' and the 'second coming' in late 1982 did not materialize as expected. The editor responds to Orestes, suggesting his article on prophecies in the current issue might offer explanations and encourages examination of 'channeled' material.

An Open Letter to Our Readers

This letter, from the editorial staff, is an apology for the lateness of the issue, the first in their publishing history since 1963. The delay was caused by an automobile accident and subsequent financial difficulties. They assure readers and advertisers that the content will still provide full value. Several reader comments are included, with Mabel Keith from Okla. City, OKLA, calling the magazine 'the most exciting and yet authentic in source material'. Another reader, whose name is withheld, thanks the journal for its 'nudge' and mentions their 88th birthday, expressing a hope to 'find the door into the next dimension'. The letter also notes the importance of renewals in keeping prices stable.

A humorous note is included with a graphic stating: 'IF YOU FIND MISTAKES IN THIS PUBLICATION, PLEASE CONSIDER THAT THEY ARE THERE FOR A PURPOSE. WE PUBLISH SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, AND SOME PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LOOKIN'C FOR MISTAKES!!!'

A New Model of Late Prehistory-Related Etymologic Evidence (Part Two)

By Michael Baran, this article delves into the legendary figurehead of Atlantis, Poseidon, and analyzes Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' (Book XI, fable 1). Baran interprets the 'Phaethon' myth as a symbolic account of a world-destructive cataclysm caused by a comet, leading to violent disruptions of the earth's crust and vulcanism. He suggests that Ovid's narrative, which mentions Poseidon venturing out into a chaotic maelstrom, is a subtle way of introducing the Atlantis theme. The article discusses Ovid's description of a 'genial land surrounded by the sea' and its 'cavernous, all-productive parent', which Baran theorizes supports his theory that Atlantis was undermined by deep excavations for a powerful force. The text also references James Churchward's work on Lemuria and suggests that ancient writers used mythic symbolism to describe events they did not fully comprehend.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around ancient civilizations (Atlantis, Lemuria), spiritual evolution and New Age concepts (phase-shifting, light-bodies, frequency levels), prophecies, and unusual phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one of exploring the unexplained and unknown from a spiritual and esoteric perspective, often drawing connections between ancient myths, modern spiritual beliefs, and unexplained events. There is a strong emphasis on personal transformation and the evolution of consciousness. The publication also maintains a critical yet open approach to reader contributions and news, presenting a variety of topics under the umbrella of the 'unexplained'. The inclusion of 'Strangews' suggests an interest in peculiar and often humorous real-world occurrences that defy conventional explanation.

This issue of "Communicating With Aliens" (Volume 6, Issue 10, dated December 1953) delves into speculative connections between ancient myths, historical linguistics, and potential extraterrestrial or advanced ancient civilizations. The cover prominently features the title "Communicating With Aliens" alongside a detailed cross-sectional drawing of a "ventla-type spacecraft."

The Tempest and the Bermuda Triangle

The issue opens by examining Charles Berlitz's assertion that Shakespeare's play "The Tempest" might be a documentary on the Bermuda Triangle. The author highlights Shakespeare's use of phrases like "still-vexed Bermoothes" and other mythical, magical, and Atlantean themes, suggesting these might relate to unusual atmospheric disturbances in the Bermuda region. Specific references to Poseidon, "Jove's stout oak," and Prospero's intent to "bury it certain fathoms in the earth" are analyzed for hidden meanings, possibly relating to depth, gravitonic wave-frequency patterns, and ancient knowledge of Atlantis.

Etymological Connections to Atlantis and Cain

The article explores the potential origins of the name "Cain" and its connection to Atlantis. Helena Blavatsky's theory that Atlantis was the home of "black magic" and the race of Cain is discussed. The etymology of "Cain" from the Hebrew "Qayin" is linked to similar ancient terms like "Brahmin" and "Aryan." The word "cay," meaning "island" in the southwest North Atlantic, is proposed as a key to the "Cain" allegory, with the bi-littoral "c-a" potentially carrying a negative connotation. This "c-a" sequence is noted in numerous place-names across the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa, areas bordering the Atlantic, suggesting a widespread influence or connection.

Theories on Atlantis and Deep-Earth Activities

Further theories on Atlantis are presented, including the idea that its land base was "honeycombed" with underground gas-filled chambers, rendering it geologically unstable. This instability is linked to crustal disruptions from comet passages. Edgar Cayce, the "sleeping prophet," is mentioned for his readings on Atlantis, including statements about crystal-energy ray technology and "elevator in buildings in the earth," suggesting deep-earth activity. The connection between Atlantean energy rays and "internal influences of the earth" is also noted.

Ancient Civilizations and Migrations

The article touches upon the Neolithic period (10,000 to 5,000 B.C.) and metal-working sites in Asia Minor, including Troy, which Homer suggests was an Atlantean colony. Other sites like Bogazkoy, Catal Huyuk, and Cayonu are analyzed for "ca" and other suggestive sequences. The possibility of ex-Atlantean migrations eastward is considered, potentially veering north towards the Black Sea, where traditions mention Amazons and a mating with the Gargantes tribe. The "g--g" sequence in terms like "gargoyle" and "gorgon" is also noted.

The "Ventla-Type" Spacecraft and PULSOR

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to a cross-sectional drawing of a "ventla-type spacecraft" made and published by George Van Tassel in December 1953. The drawing illustrates how positive primary radiation from the sun is transduced into propulsive power in the "light motor." The article states that infrared photographs of such vehicles, made directly from the invisible state, are consistent with Van Tassel's description of spacecraft propulsion obtained by telepathy nearly 30 years prior. The drawing is courtesy of the Ministry of Universal Wisdom, Inc. Additionally, the back page features an advertisement for YAO INTERNATIONAL's "PULSOR," a device described as a modern electronic microcrystal composite transceiver designed to correct and amplify the body's aura and polarity, offering protection from electromagnetic bombardment and promoting stress reduction.

"Golden Eagle" Contributions

Two contributions are signed by "Golden Eagle." The first is a poem titled "ALL YE PEOPLE OF THE OLD," urging boldness and action. The second is a letter addressed to "Dear Ladies and Gentlemen," reflecting on humanity's repeated failures and the potential for destruction, referencing biblical accounts and the importance of unity and learning lessons to find peace. The author expresses hope that this time humanity will learn and avoid past mistakes.

Conclusion and Future Perspective

The author concludes by suggesting that if the presented insights have merit, much of prehistory may require revision. The deductive approach to historical problems needs modification, with more emphasis placed on a liberal and rational inductive approach that aligns theory with observable facts. This approach, the writer believes, will lead to a more accurate view of the past and better equip humanity for the future.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the enduring mystery of Atlantis, its potential influence on ancient civilizations and languages, and the possibility of advanced ancient or extraterrestrial technologies, including spacecraft. There is a strong speculative and interdisciplinary approach, drawing connections between mythology, linguistics, archaeology, and modern phenomena like UFOs. The editorial stance appears to favor exploring unconventional theories and challenging established historical models, advocating for an inductive approach to understanding the past and shaping the future. The inclusion of the PULSOR advertisement suggests an interest in alternative technologies and personal well-being, possibly linked to concepts of energy and polarity discussed in the context of ancient wisdom and modern science.

This issue of "UFO" magazine explores a wide range of topics, from the nature of prophecy and ancient mysteries to spiritual communication and extraterrestrial influences. The cover prominently features a book advertisement for "UFOS KEY TO EARTH'S DESTINY!" by Winfield Brownell, promising revelations about suppressed UFO mysteries.

The Nature of Prophecy and Truth

The opening article, "The Opposing Force," discusses the concept of an "Opposing Force" that utilizes prophecy, both true and false, as a tool. It suggests that this force aims to check the dissemination of Truth and that the constant transmission of prophecies, some of which may be false, can lead to disbelief when a genuine revelation occurs. The author questions the nature of "They" who weave a tangled "web" of information, concluding that "TRUTH? IT IS WHAT YOU MAKE OF IT."

Crystal River: An American Stonehenge?

This article by Joan O'Connell, Editor, highlights the Crystal River site in Florida as a significant Indian mound complex. It describes the site as a primitive solar observatory with a calendar of sand, shell, and stone, and notes the presence of stelae, suggesting contact with cultures in the Yucatan. The article mentions a large temple mound and over 450 burials. It also connects the site to recent discoveries in dowsing and ley lines, with the New Atlantean Research Society seeking further research. The area is also noted for UFO sightings and Bigfoot encounters, drawing parallels to Stonehenge.

New Understandings of Past Wonders & Revelations from Ancient Sites

Dr. Ronald D. Anjard's article delves into ancient ruins and their possible connections to extraterrestrial visitors. It discusses a book about Ponape, where psychic impressions suggest ruins originated in the late Pleistocene era, with beings landing according to a preconceived plan. The article touches upon the migration of these beings, their experiments with animal forms, and the manufacturing of bronze. It also examines unexplained features on Pacific islands, including Easter Island statues, and links them to Lemuria's sinking and a culture transmitted from beings who could see "far looking in direction southeast." The article suggests that the Giant Statues (Moai) are related to a "time for the return to the skies" and that Earth was considered a "transmigration point in space."

Further exploration of ancient sites includes "circle-henges" and megalithic structures in the British Isles and France. The Ring of Brodgar in Scotland is mentioned, with a psychic's interpretation of its connection to the Arctic Circle and dramatic changes in Arctic nights over 20,000 years. The article discusses fluctuations in seasons, meteorite showers, and great upheavals, suggesting that Ice Ages succeeded in finishing off large remnants of civilization.

The Journey

A poem by Eve Langdon-Smith, titled "The JOURNEY," offers a spiritual and ethereal narrative of travel through various realms, including Eden, Hyperborean, Arcturus, and mentions Atlantis and Mu. It speaks of karmic dreams, lifetimes, and a search for the Holy Grail, concluding with a reflection on learning and rebirth.

Exploring Atlantis

This section advertises a new series of spiritually channeled information brought forth through Rev. Frank Alper, D.D. The series, titled "EXPLORING ATLANTIS," covers topics such as "The Great Healing Temple," "Crystals & Magnetic Energies," "Atlantean Chants," and "Other Experimental Civilizations." An order form is provided for the Arizona Metaphysical Society.

Can the Dead Get in Touch with the Living?

This article explores the possibility of communication between the living and the dead. It uses the example of the mysterious appearance of a bird on the coffin of Rufina Sy, who was murdered by her husband. The article posits that this could be a coincidence, or that the spirit of Rufina may have manifested as the bird to reveal the truth, or that the spirit used the bird as a medium. It suggests that spirits can communicate in various ways, citing an instance of a father communicating with his deceased daughter through a butterfly. The article concludes that heinous crimes, such as murder, cannot remain hidden due to constant communication on a subconscious or supra-conscious level.

Book Advertisements

Two book advertisements are featured: "THE SECRETS OF FLYING SAUCER PROPULSION" by Noel Huntley, which promises to answer questions about UFOs, their origins, propulsion systems, and antigravity, and "MATTER, LIFE, EVOLUTION" by John C. Elliott, D.A., M.S., which offers insights into spirit rebirth and a new Space Age philosophy.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the exploration of unexplained phenomena, ancient mysteries, and spiritual or esoteric beliefs. There is a consistent thread of questioning established narratives and seeking deeper truths, whether through archaeological evidence, spiritual channeling, or paranormal experiences. The magazine appears to adopt an open-minded stance, presenting various theories and possibilities without necessarily endorsing any single one, encouraging readers to consider different perspectives on reality, truth, and the nature of existence. The editorial stance seems to be one of encouraging critical thinking and exploration of the unknown.

This issue of LIGHT VOAYGES is dedicated to the exploration of reincarnation and past lives, featuring a cover advertisement for "REINCARNATION* PAST LIFE VOYAGE IS THE KEY" hypnotic cassette tapes priced at $12.50 each. The publication is presented as a "LIGHT VOYAGE T.M. PRODUCTION" with a mailing address in Glen Arm, Maryland.

Articles and Content

A MESSAGE FROM THE SPHINX

This section presents "Psychic Voices" and recounts a tour to Egypt from May 10th to 26th, involving 22 participants who visited ancient centers of Initiation. The editor shares a message received by a participant identified as "R" while meditating before the Great Sphinx. The message, attributed to the Sphinx, speaks of unchanging wisdom, the rediscovery of lost knowledge, and the Sphinx holding a "portal" to understanding. It alludes to ancient secrets within its heart and the eventual revelation of a forgotten pyramid. The Sphinx calls for ancient ones to re-enter and for "children" to find the keys to unlock their minds and ancient wisdom.

The message continues, explaining that the symbols are keys to the minds of the ancient ones, and their wisdom is safe because it appears foolish to the uninitiated. It states that the ancient ones are returning, acting as living libraries, and that the time for revelation is now. The Sphinx identifies itself as "GUARDIAN" and "REVEALER."

This piece is reprinted from "FORGOTTON TIMES," POB 12124, Ft. Wayne, IN 46862.

KNOW THE SECRETS OF THE PYRAMID

This section explains that pyramids are electromagnetic condensers generating a "Standing Columnar wave." It suggests that Atlantean engineers could control weather using energy fields and a device called the "Ark of the Covenant." Pyramids are described as antennas for this system, and it is proposed they can be rebuilt in the present time. The text recommends two books for further information: "PYRAMID ENERGY EXPLAINED" and "PYRAMID ENERGY AND THE SECOND COMING," both costing $6.00. Information and books can be ordered from Dean and Mary Hardy at 3252 Lakeview Drive, Allegan, Michigan 49010.

KEYS TO THE CHAMBERS OF THOTH - THE HALL OF RECORDS - HAVE YET TO BE FOUND

This article, from the "Ancient Mysteries Research Institute" (P.O. Box 12124, Fort Wayne, IN 46862), discusses an ancient Egyptian manuscript, the Westcar Papyrus. It recounts the story of Pharaoh Khufu seeking a sage named Djeda, who possessed knowledge of the "IPWT of the WNT of Thoth." The text explores the meaning of "IPWT" and "WNT," with "WNT of Thorth" generally interpreted as a sanctuary or library of books. Thoth is described as the magician who classified creations and set down formulae. The article notes that Khufu was not interested in finding the secret chambers themselves, but in the "IPWT" (designs, plans, locks, or instruments) to copy for his tomb.

Various translations and interpretations of "IPWT" are presented, including "designs or plans of the dwelling" (Faulkner), "locks" (Erman), and "an object or instrument used in the connection with the working of magic" (Budge). The word is associated with seals, used for securing spaces, and the "Divine Sealer" held the title "Keeper of the Records," responsible for protecting, classifying, and interpreting the sacred documents.

The location of these seals or keys is described as the "House of Sapti" in the city of On or Ani (Heliopolis). The word "Sapti" can mean "revision" or "taking stock," and Budge translated it as a proper name referring to Septi, the fifth ruler of the First Dynasty. The "House of Sapti" is described as a special library room with sandstone walls, containing a secret niche with a box holding the "IPWT seals or keys" to the chambers of Thoth.

Djeda prophesied that Khufu would not find the keys himself, but that three sons born to Red-dedet would. This is interpreted as referring to the first three Pharaohs of the Fifth Dynasty (Userkaf, Sahure, Kakai), but also suggests a hidden meaning of future individuals who will find and open the Hall of Records. The article mentions that parts of Heliopolis are still buried beneath modern Cairo.

It then connects this to the psychic Edgar Cayce, who between 1901 and 1945 gave over 14,000 trance readings, many about past lives in ancient Egypt. In reading no. 3976-5, Cayce was asked who would uncover the history near the Sphinx, and he answered that "THREE" would make of the perfect way of life, acting as channels for truths preserved in the earth.

Articles

The Universal Remedy by Tony Bond

This article introduces VITA FLORUM, described as a unique spiritual healing agent derived from flowers. It is quoted by a British Doctor as having the potential to heal "everybody and everything." Dramatic evidence of its healing energy is presented through Kirlian photographs, which show the 'corona' and 'life force' emitted from a fingertip before and after taking VITA FLORUM. The article claims VITA FLORUM can heal virtually anything in the body, mind, and spirit, for both humans and animals, and even plants and soil. Unlike Bach Flower Remedies, it requires no diagnosis and is a single preparation. Elizabeth Bellhouse, the discoverer of VITA FLORUM, was reportedly guided divinely to its preparation method 13 years prior. The article includes testimonials, such as that of Jean St. John, who was saved from disfigurement by a gas stove explosion. Frank Rowe, a chrysanthemum breeder, notes improved vigor in his stock after using VITA FLORUM. A remarkable case describes a severely disabled 22-year-old man who learned to walk and talk after receiving VITA FLORUM. Dr. Alec Forbes, an authority on fringe medicine, calls VITA FLORUM a potential "magic bullet" and a harmonizing agent that facilitates psychological and spiritual growth.

VITA FLORUM is described as a cottage industry in Somerset, England, with a large customer base due to word-of-mouth recommendations. The product comes in various forms, including water, ointment, lotion, massage oil, talcum powder, animal preparation, soil conditioner, and foliar spray. It is available from VITA FLORUM products in Toronto.

Astrological Earthquake Predictions for 1983

Written by Allan J. Grise, this section provides astrological forecasts for seismic activity in 1983.

Cataclysms: When Atlantis Hit the Skids (By Gardiner James)

This article explores the disappearance of Atlantis, attributing it to a cataclysm. It references Plato's "Dialougues" and Critias, suggesting that Atlantis sunk during an earthquake approximately 9000 years before Plato's time. This period aligns with the Astrological Leonian Age (11,100-8,900 B.C.E.), when the Sun was at the Vernal Equinox in the Occult House of Leo. The author posits that a "super-stellium" during the latter years of the Leonian Age could have caused a devastating earthquake and other celestial discomforts, leading to the demise of the Atlantean Continent.

The article suggests that Atlantean Astrologers were aware of impending dangers but their warnings were ignored. Those who listened escaped to Europe, carrying "Great Knowledge" but unable to reproduce the advanced technology. The author claims that by analyzing celestial influences and planetary dynamics of Precessional Ages, historical events can be established. The article concludes that Atlantis existed and sunk beneath the Earth's waters, and its existence is no longer a myth.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The journal consistently explores themes of alternative healing, spirituality, and esoteric knowledge, often linking them to celestial or mystical phenomena. The VITA FLORUM article promotes a holistic, spiritual approach to healing, while the astrological section focuses on predicting earthly events through planetary movements. The Atlantis article connects ancient myths to astrological ages and cataclysmic events. The overall stance appears to be one of exploring unconventional beliefs and phenomena, presenting them as potentially valid explanations for events and human conditions, often with a spiritual or mystical undertone. The journal also includes advertisements for related services and products, such as biorhythm charts, metaphysical directories, and books on mysticism.
