The magazine aims to provide a platform for researchers and enthusiasts to explore and discuss these intriguing subjects.
This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated March 2020 (Issue #31, Volume V), delves into a diverse range of topics, from historical religious phenomena to indigenous cultures and contemporary discussions on extraterrestrial contact. The cover story, "Bellas y Guerreras: Las Vírgenes que Tomaron Occidente," by Félix Ruíz Herrera, examines the origins and evolution of Marian apparitions in Western culture, linking them to historical events like the Crusades and the Cluny reform. The magazine also features an exploration of the Selk'nam people's cosmovision and shamanistic practices, presented by Rafael Videla Eissmann, and introduces the work of Marshall Vian Summers concerning extraterrestrial intervention.
Bellas y Guerreras: Las Vírgenes que Tomaron Occidente
Félix Ruíz Herrera's cover story traces the historical roots of fertility cults and their transformation into Marian worship in the West. It discusses how the early reverence for the maternal womb and goddesses of antiquity evolved into the widespread veneration of the Virgin Mary. The article highlights the role of the Cluny reform in unifying religious practices and examines the supposed 'Marian apparitions' that became prevalent in the West. It suggests that these apparitions may have been influenced by Eastern mystery cults and the sacralization of natural sites. The text also touches upon the motivations behind the Crusades, driven by religious fervor and feudal pressures, and the complex interactions between different Christian and Eastern groups.
The article further explores specific Marian advocations and their legendary origins, often linked to natural locations like caves, trees, and springs. Examples include Nuestra Señora de las Cruzadas, Virgen del Madroño, Nuestra Señora de la Regla, and Nuestra Señora de Valvanera. The narrative also recounts the story of Silvestre bringing an image of the Virgin to Olmedo in the 1st century, its subsequent hiding, and its reappearance to King Alfonso VI, which was credited with aiding in the reconquest of the city. The role of Pelayo in the early stages of the Reconquista and the legend of the Ark of the Covenant are also mentioned. The article details the story of the Virgin appearing to Prince Alí of Toledo, leading to his conversion and the establishment of the sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de Sopetrán.
The Selk'nam: Cosmovision and the Jon
Rafael Videla Eissmann presents an article on the "Jon: The Powerful Magicians of Fire," exploring the cosmovision and anthropogony of the Selk'nam people of Tierra del Fuego. Building on previous installments, this article focuses on the 'jon' (or 'xo'on'), an initiated caste of magicians with extraordinary powers. Their origin remains a mystery, and they are believed to have disappeared with the extinction of the Selk'nam in the early 20th century. The article highlights the work of ethnologist Martin Gusinde in documenting their traditions. The supreme divinity of the Selk'nam is Temáuquel, the creator, who sent his messenger Quenós and the immortal hóhuen race. The jon are described as magician-shamans who possessed profound knowledge and powers, often induced through autohypnosis and chanting, without the use of stimulants.
Anthropologist Anne Chapman's insights are also presented, detailing the shaman's attire and ritualistic practices, including trance induction through intense concentration and chanting. The article emphasizes that the Selk'nam shamans did not rely on external substances for their altered states of consciousness. Historian Carlos Keller's description of the jon's powers and their connection to the astral body ('huáiyuhuen' or 'wáiuwin') is also included, distinguishing between the external world and the internal, dream-like realities experienced by individuals.
Allies of Humanity
The magazine introduces "Los Aliados de la Humanidad" (The Allies of Humanity) by Marshall Vian Summers. This section highlights a group of individuals from various worlds who have been observing extraterrestrial intervention on Earth for over twenty years. Their mission is to prepare humanity for contact with a larger community of intelligent life in the universe. The article mentions "Book 1" as a free download and announces the upcoming publication of "Book 4 | Freedom in the Universe." Summers emphasizes that humanity must earn its freedom through its own efforts, offering wisdom, perspective, and warnings.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
This issue of Phenomena Magazine consistently explores themes of the mystical, the historical, and the unexplained. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into phenomena that lie beyond conventional understanding, whether they be religious miracles, ancient indigenous beliefs, or potential extraterrestrial encounters. The magazine aims to provide readers with detailed historical accounts, cultural insights, and contemporary perspectives on these subjects, encouraging critical thought and a broader understanding of human history and its place in the universe. The inclusion of sources at the end of articles suggests a commitment to research and providing readers with avenues for further exploration.
This issue of Phenomena magazine, dated March 2020, presents a diverse range of articles exploring paranormal phenomena, ancient mysteries, and unconventional scientific theories. The cover prominently features a headline about the CIA's acknowledgment of psychic abilities, with an article by Luis E. Annino delving into this topic and its potential connection to David Bohm's physics.
Articles
The CIA Admits Psychic Abilities Are Real, But Cannot Discover the Science Behind Them
Luis E. Annino discusses a declassified CIA document from 2000 concerning Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV) technology developed between 1981-1983. The document states that CRV "functions with remarkable precision" but admits an inability to explain conventionally why the coordinate serves as a stimulus. The CIA considered David Bohm's quantum mechanics model a plausible hypothesis for the mechanisms involved. Bohm's theory of the 'implicate order' suggests that the cosmos is populated by quantum black holes connecting the 'explicate order' of spacetime to a realm transcending it. These are termed 'holosferas' and are linked to the Eastern concept of 'Akasha.' The 'explicate order' is the world of ordinary objects and consciousness, while the 'implicate order' contains sub-quantum variables responsible for quantum unpredictability. Bohm, an idealist, believed consciousness was primary, preceding the physical world and generating it from a 'deposit of meaning.' This 'holomovimiento' principle is rooted in the implicate order. The article notes the CIA's interest in Bohm's work due to its implications for subjectivity and the potential for measuring these dynamics.
The 'Jon' and the 'Huáiyuhuen' of the Selk'nam
This section explores the concept of 'jon' among the Selk'nam people, described as individuals who possess knowledge of an 'inner world.' These individuals, through deep concentration and chanting, enter a state where they perceive a reality far greater than the external world. Their 'huáiyuhuen' is a spiritual essence, distinct from 'cáspi' (the soul), which is immortal and reincarnates, remaining on Earth to enter new 'jon.' The 'huáiyuhuen' communicates with the 'jon,' revealing unseen wonders and guiding them. The article draws parallels between the 'huáiyuhuen' and concepts like the astral body or 'doble' in other traditions (European esoteric, Tantric, Egyptian, Chinese, Hindu, Indian Aryan). It mentions that 'jon' can send their 'huáiyuhuen' to distant places, like the Moon, to gather information. The text also touches upon the Selk'nam understanding of illness, relating it to 'cuaque,' which can be a physical agent or an impalpable entity affecting the mind and soul, a concept similar to what Western doctors describe.
Bibliography
A comprehensive bibliography is provided, listing numerous works related to the indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego, particularly the Selk'nam and Yamana, as well as broader topics of mythology, archaeology, and ancient civilizations. Authors include José María Beauvoir, Esteban Lucas Bridges, Anne Chapman, Alberto María De Agostini, Carlos R. Gallardo, Martin Gusinde, Carlos Keller, Francisco P. Moreno, Roberto Rengifo, and Rafael Videla Eissmann.
A Subterranean City in Rockwall?
This article by Rocío Moreira investigates the mysterious subterranean structures discovered in Rockwall, Texas. The city is said to contain stone walls extending deep into the earth, forming corridors and chambers, with an estimated area of 20 square kilometers and an age of over 20,000 years. The discovery is traced back to the mid-19th century when early settlers encountered strange stone formations. In 1852, the Wade family found a rock wall while digging a well, leading to the town being named Rockwall. Further excavations revealed cubicles and passages. The article recounts newspaper reports from 1886 detailing the discovery of a giant fossilized skull and a large underground room with marble columns. Later excavations in 1922 and 1949 uncovered more evidence of the extensive underground complex.
Reader's Mail: Paranormal Events in Poland
This section features a letter from a reader named Sebastian, originally from Poland, who moved to an apartment in Bydgoszcz in 2019. He describes experiencing strange phenomena, including his daughter seeing shadows and furniture moving on its own. He managed to record a video of these events and sought help from a priest, but the phenomena persisted, leading his family to move to a new apartment after two months.
Other Content
The magazine also includes advertisements and mentions for various related media and services, such as "Criptobotánica" with Javier Resines, "La Teoría de la Distorsión" by José Antonio Carav@ca, "Demonios" blog and radio program, "Jorge Ríos Informe Enigma," "Vision VNI Victoria Entre Ríos," "Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique" by Dolores Cannon, and "Café Ufológico de Mendoza."
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue revolve around the unexplained, the paranormal, and ancient mysteries. The magazine appears to adopt an open-minded stance, presenting accounts of psychic abilities, indigenous spiritual beliefs, and archaeological enigmas without immediate dismissal. There is a clear interest in exploring the intersection of science, consciousness, and phenomena that lie beyond conventional understanding, as evidenced by the inclusion of CIA documents and theories from physicists like David Bohm. The editorial stance seems to be one of inquiry and exploration, encouraging readers to consider alternative perspectives and investigate further, as indicated by the bibliography and the invitation for readers to share their own experiences.
This issue of Phenomena Magazine, dated March 2020 and identified as issue #31, is primarily in Spanish and focuses on two major investigative articles: one concerning a purported UFO sighting in Chilca, Peru, and another detailing the life and psychic abilities of Edgar Cayce, particularly his connection to the legend of Atlantis.
Rockwall Mystery: Inscriptions and Rings
The magazine begins with an article by Rocío Moreira discussing a mysterious site in Rockwall, USA. It describes the discovery of a two-ton stone wall with strange inscriptions that have not yet been deciphered. In 1967, Frank X. Tolbert found a wall with an archway. In the early 1970s, two rings, 15 and 30 centimeters in diameter, made of a tin, titanium, and iron alloy, were found embedded in the stone. While many geologists and archaeologists consider it a natural formation, locals believe it to be the remains of an ancient underground city. The article suggests that the local hypothesis is more plausible but leaves open questions about who built it and why, pondering if it relates to antediluvian societies or the Nephilim.
UFO Sighting in Chilca, Peru: An Investigation
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to an investigation by Bibiana Bryson into a reported UFO sighting on February 1, 2020, at Playa Yaya, Chilca, Peru. The event was a vigil organized by enthusiasts. Initially, a bright light was observed, and participants took photos. Upon reviewing the high-exposure photos, one witness noticed a person on a cliff with a powerful flashlight. The investigation, including comparative photos and analysis, suggests that the light was not a UFO but a powerful LED flashlight, possibly a 'Searchlight' or 'Spotlight' type. The article includes testimonies from witnesses like Fran Bao and Miguel Centeno, who describe seeing lights and a person with a flashlight. Fran Bao initially thought the lights were from people but later suspected a staged event. Miguel Centeno also observed a powerful flashlight. Cesar C. corroborates that the light came from a person on the cliff, not from the sea. The investigation concludes that the event was likely intentional, possibly an attempt to promote tourism or test reactions, and not a genuine extraterrestrial encounter. The article also touches upon the technical aspects of light measurement (lumens) and camera sensitivity (ISO).
Edgar Cayce and Atlantis
Another major article, written by Darío Fernández, explores the life of Edgar Cayce, known as the 'sleeping prophet.' It details his birth in Kentucky in 1877, his unusual childhood abilities (memorizing books by sleeping on them, communicating with imaginary friends and spirits), and his early career selling insurance. Cayce's psychic abilities manifested more strongly when he was hypnotized. He worked with hypnotists like 'Hart, the man who laughs' and Al Layne, during which he would enter a trance and speak as 'we,' diagnosing and prescribing cures for people, even at a distance. The article mentions his move to Texas and his work in finding oil deposits. It also recounts his involvement in creating a card game about the stock market and his subsequent readings for Arthur Lammers. In 1925, Cayce moved to Virginia Beach, Virginia, to open the Cayce Hospital, where he diagnosed illnesses and prescribed treatments. His readings also covered occultism and esotericism. The article highlights a prediction Cayce made about the stock market collapse in 1929, which led to the closure of the hospital and marked the end of his public life. The connection to Atlantis is emphasized, as Cayce's readings frequently discussed the lost continent, its history, and its eventual destruction.
Other Content and Features
The magazine also includes a section on 'Registros Akashicos,' linking Cayce's 'group studies' to astrology and karma. It features an invitation to join the 'PLANETA UFO Argentina' Facebook group for information exchange on UFOs and unexplained phenomena. The issue also showcases various past covers of Phenomena Magazine, highlighting its history and diverse content, including articles on topics like the CIA's Operation Mirage, the UFO phenomenon, cryptobotany, alien abductions, and ancient mysteries.
Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance
The recurring themes in this issue are the investigation of unexplained phenomena, particularly UFO sightings and ancient mysteries, and the exploration of psychic abilities and alternative theories. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical investigation, aiming to debunk hoaxes (as seen in the Chilca case) while remaining open to genuine mysteries and historical enigmas like Atlantis and the work of Edgar Cayce. The magazine promotes itself as a platform for scientific investigation of the inexplicable, encouraging readers to engage with these topics critically and to contribute to the ongoing search for truth.
This issue of PHENOMENA, dated March 2020, issue #31, features a cover story titled "TESTIGO DE OTRO MUNDO" (Witness from Another World), subtitled "LA HISTORIA REAL DE UN ENCUENTRO CERCANO" (The Real Story of a Close Encounter), directed by Alan Stivelman. The magazine explores themes of the Akashic Records, Atlantis, UFOs, and ancient mysteries.
The Akashic Records and Edgar Cayce
The issue begins by discussing Edgar Cayce, a renowned psychic, and his concept of the Akashic Records. These are described as a universal memory, a 'flash drive of the Universe,' where all information—past, present, and future—is stored and can be accessed through concentration and study, akin to obtaining a 'password.' Cayce himself dedicated his life to perfecting his ability to access these records.
Atlantis and its Legacy
A significant portion of the magazine is dedicated to Edgar Cayce's extensive readings on Atlantis. He spoke of 'Poseidia,' one of its main islands, and described a golden age led by a spiritual society called 'the Law of the One.' Atlanteans were technologically advanced, possessing flying vehicles, submarines, and devices similar to computers, powered by crystals. These crystals had various uses, including energy, healing, and agriculture. Cayce also mentioned that many Atlanteans were luminous beings, not dependent on human bodies, and lived for up to 10,000 years. The continent eventually suffered a schism, leading to its destruction around 10,500 BC, possibly due to the misuse of technology by the Arian faction, who were against the 'Law of the One.' Followers of the 'Law of the One' reportedly migrated to places like Egypt, Bolivia, Yucatán, and Arkansas.
The article speculates on the fate of the Atlantean crystals, suggesting they might still be at the bottom of the ocean, possibly near a submerged mountain range that could be remnants of the lost continent. The author posits that humanity is not yet ready to handle such advanced technology.
Mama Banga: A Modern Prophetess
The magazine introduces Mama Banga (born Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova in 1911 in Macedonia) as another example of someone who could access records similar to the Akashic Records, possibly due to a traumatic childhood event that left her blind but gave her the ability to hear a voice providing future information. Her prophecies reportedly included warnings of a world war.
UFOs as Time Travelers
Another prominent theme is the hypothesis that UFOs are not extraterrestrial craft but rather 'chrononauts'—time travelers from our own future (1,000 to 3,000 years ahead). This theory, supported by figures like Lieutenant Colonel Philip Corso and Dr. Bruce Goldberg, suggests that these future humans are visiting our time to facilitate spiritual growth. They might be our own descendants, using hyperspace engineering to travel through time. The article also references Fabio Zerpa's earlier ideas about UFOs being potential time travelers, citing Einstein's theories.
Michael P. Masters, a professor of biological anthropology, is also mentioned for his book "Objetos Voladores Identificados: un enfoque científico multidisciplinario para el fenómeno OVNI." Masters suggests that UFO occupants might be future anthropologists, historians, or linguists studying our past. However, the magazine also presents a counter-argument, criticizing Masters' theory for ignoring the vast diversity of UFO phenomena and the often violent or non-human characteristics of alleged occupants, suggesting his explanation is too simplistic.
Ancient Wonders and Extraterrestrial Influence
The issue features a section titled "10 MARAVILLAS QUE PODRIAN TENER ORIGEN EXTRATERRESTRE" (10 Wonders That Could Have Extraterrestrial Origin). This section examines several ancient sites and artifacts, questioning their construction and purpose:
1. Pyramids of Egypt: Built around 2700 BC, their construction without known machinery raises questions about how massive stones were elevated.
2. Stonehenge: Created around 2500 BC in England, its purpose is debated (temple, observatory, cemetery), and the difficulty of moving and placing its massive stones suggests possible non-human assistance.
3. Moai of Easter Island: These large statues, located on a remote island, pose a mystery regarding their transportation from quarries, especially given the lack of trees on the island.
4. Crop Circles: Appearing since 1976, their perfection and complexity lead some to doubt human origin, despite claims by some farmers.
5. Dogu Sculptures: Created around 500 BC in Japan, some attribute their forms to extraterrestrials, while historians link them to fertility rituals.
6. Ave de Saqqara: A wooden sculpture from 200 BC found in Egypt, resembling an airplane, leading to speculation about extraterrestrial aviation knowledge transfer.
7. Antikythera Mechanism: A complex Greek device from 87 BC, found in a shipwreck, considered an early analog computer for astronomical tracking.
8. Nazca Lines: Geometrical and zoomorphic figures in Peru, visible from the air, with theories ranging from water markers to alien landing strips.
9. Modern Transport in Hieroglyphs: Depictions in the Temple of Osiris in Abydos allegedly showing helicopters, submarines, and aircraft, sparking debate about ancient Egyptian technology.
10. Wandjinas: Australian Aboriginal representations of spirits, resembling typical grey aliens, whose appearance is debated by anthropologists.
Other Features
The magazine also includes a section on "CRÓNICA SUBTERRÁNEA" (Subterranean Chronicle), "ONIRIA MISTERIO" (Dream Mystery), "FLYING DISK FRANCE," "PLANETA UFO," "España Forteana," and "Criptobotánica."
