PSI Bladet - 1984 No 2

Magazine Overview

Title: PSI-BLADET
Issue: NR.2
Volume: 8.-9. ÅRGANG
Date: 1984

This issue of PSI-BLADET, published by NORSK FORENING FOR PSYKISK STUDIUM OG INFORMASJON, focuses on cyclical theories of history, ancient symbols, and esoteric knowledge.

Cycles of National Development

The lead article, "Et brev fra samme seer skrevet julen 1902 om periodisiteten i den nasjonale utvikling," presents a theory of cyclical national development. It posits that every viable nation goes through an evolutionary cycle of 1000 to 3000 years, divided into six phases, akin to days with morning, midday, and evening, followed by rest. These cycles are influenced by numerological principles. The article suggests that Norway has completed four such phases and is in its fifth, which began in 1814. It notes that significant changes and events in Norway and Iceland often coincide with these cyclical shifts. The author argues that these cycles are not random but follow predictable patterns, influencing national character and historical events. The text highlights that periods of spiritual and material decline, or 'dark periods,' are followed by times of renewal. Norway and Iceland are seen as having entered a new, brighter phase, with Norway potentially becoming a beacon of light for Europe.

The article further elaborates on these cycles, suggesting that individual nations have their own cycles, and that the development of peoples can be understood through these patterns. It contrasts the spiritual development of some nations with the material focus of others, such as the Indian people's focus on contemplation and the Jewish people's focus on wealth, suggesting these approaches have led to significant errors during their respective fifth phases of development.

Ancient Symbols and Their Meanings

The Swastika

The issue features an article titled "Svastika" by GUDS KVERN, which explores the ancient symbol of the Swastika. It states that this symbol, often misunderstood due to its appropriation by Hitler, was originally a symbol of the sun and the eternal cycle. The article traces its presence across various cultures and time periods, including its connection to the 'eternal circle' and the 'evolutionary cycle.' The Swastika is described as representing the 'spinning wheel,' a timekeeper of evolution, and the 'mill that grinds and renews.' The vertical line of the symbol represents the spiritual and upward-striving aspect, while the horizontal line represents the material. The article also links the Swastika to other symbols like the Christian cross and the Ankh, suggesting they represent different stages of understanding the balance between spirit and matter.

The Great Pyramid

Another significant section is dedicated to "Den store pyramide" (The Great Pyramid). This article describes the Great Pyramid of Giza as a monumental structure that functions as an astronomical instrument. It highlights the builders' profound knowledge of astronomy, earth's relationship to the solar system, and planetary distances. The article suggests that the pyramid's dimensions contain coded information about historical events and future occurrences, based on the laws of periodicity. It references works by John and Morten Edgar as sources for further study.

Pyramid's Interior and Initiation Ceremonies

The article "Pyramidens indre" (The Pyramid's Interior) provides a profile of the pyramid's internal structure, detailing known chambers and passages, including the King's Chamber and the Queen's Chamber. It suggests that the pyramid's layout is designed to represent the Egyptian tau cross (T) and that a yet-unopened room may contain papyrus scrolls of immense historical significance. The text posits that the various rooms and passages were used in 'initiation ceremonies' that symbolize the evolution of human life and the soul towards a state of spiritual attainment, referred to as 'Christus-stadie.'

There is a strong suggestion that the Gospels' accounts of Jesus' suffering and crucifixion are veiled narratives of his initiation into these mysteries, possibly occurring within the Great Pyramid. The period of Jesus' life between the ages of 12 and 30, during which he is not mentioned in the Gospels, is speculated to have been spent in Egypt, potentially as a disciple in these mystery schools.

Other Features

"Fra Evigheten til Timeglasset" by Willy Buzzi

This section reviews Willy Buzzi's book, "Fra Evigheten til Timeglasset" (From Eternity to Hourglass). The book, published in 1984, is described as a collection of essays exploring themes such as time, the mystery of obelisks, the mineral kingdom, human existence in time, and the concepts of death, the devil, and the hourglass. It also touches upon homunculi, the dilemma of the soul, religion, witchcraft, the UFO phenomenon, and science fiction. The review notes Buzzi's aim to foster awareness and a deeper understanding of these subjects.

Natural Medicine and Astrology

The magazine includes a "Naturmedisinsk Spørrespalte" (Natural Medicine Q&A Column) where readers can submit questions about natural health remedies. It also features an "Astrologispalte" (Astrology Column) where the contributor, Ragnhild Hansen, shares her interest in astrology, attributing it to her birth chart (Uranus in conjunction with her Sun). Readers are invited to send in their astrology-related questions.

Hand Analysis

An advertisement for the International Research Institute of Palmistry & Astrology, directed by Dr. S.K. Kamlesh, offers hand analysis and astrological services. Dr. Kamlesh is presented as an expert in ancient sciences like Ayurveda and Astrology, capable of providing insights into personality, success, health, and future possibilities.

Reader Contributions

Under the heading "Lesernes meninger eller opplevelser" (Readers' Opinions or Experiences), a reader named Ragnhild Hansen shares an anecdote about an encounter at a train station, suggesting the presence of unseen helpers.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the cyclical nature of history and human development, the significance of ancient symbols and their esoteric meanings, and the exploration of spiritual and occult knowledge. The magazine appears to promote a worldview where universal laws, often expressed through numerology and ancient wisdom, govern both individual lives and the destiny of nations. There is a clear interest in phenomena beyond conventional scientific understanding, including astrology, psychic studies, and UFOs. The editorial stance seems to be one of seeking deeper, hidden truths and promoting a spiritual understanding of the world and its history.

This issue of "NÆRKONTAKT AV TRAUMATISK GRAD" (Near Contact of a Traumatic Grade), published in the autumn of 1984, focuses on a compelling UFO abduction case involving three English women. The magazine also explores themes of spiritual initiation, ancient rituals, and alternative health practices like Ayurveda and Hatha Yoga, alongside astrological services.

UFO Abduction Case: Three English Women

The cover story details the experience of Rosemary Hawkins, Valerie Walters, and Viv Hayward, who claim to have been abducted by aliens. The incident occurred late at night near Atcham, Shropshire, when their car was stopped by strange red and white lights. During hypnosis, facilitated by UFO expert Harold Harris and conducted by doctors from North Manchester General Hospital, the women recounted their experiences.

Rosemary Hawkins described seeing sharp, white lights with hints of yellow and red, emanating from a spacecraft. She felt herself floating and experienced a sense of being observed by 'four-foot' beings with round bodies and no distinct faces. She described them as friendly despite her fear.

Viv Hayward, the driver, reported losing control of the car and being pulled upwards. She described the beings as approximately 4 feet tall, with strange noses, thin arms, and wearing green cloaks. She felt them probing her body and causing pain, particularly in her legs.

Valerie Walters described seeing the lights and feeling a strong, uncomfortable sensation. She felt herself being carried and heard voices telling her not to be afraid. She also noted the presence of a female alien who was fascinated by her shoes.

UFO expert Harold Harris, an attorney, stated he had no doubt the UFO existed and that the women's accounts were consistent, despite being hypnotized individually. He highlighted the 'missing time' of 20 minutes as a crucial element. Dr. Joseph Jaffe, a hypnoterapeut, found the case extremely interesting and noted the need for further research. Dr. Leslie Davies and Dr. Albert Kellar, who participated in the hypnosis sessions, confirmed that the women were under full hypnosis and their accounts were involuntary and truthful, with Dr. Kellar noting significant physiological reactions during the sessions.

Spiritual Initiation of Jesus

The magazine also presents an interpretation of Jesus's spiritual journey, drawing parallels between his experiences and ancient initiation rites. The text describes a process involving fasting, trials in a garden (likened to Getsemane), and an examination by priests in a large hall, culminating in a vow of chastity, poverty, and loyalty. This is compared to the 'King's initiation' and the reception of a white robe and priestly insignia. The narrative then moves to Jesus's trial before the high council, his referral to Herod, and his subsequent condemnation, drawing parallels to the events leading to his crucifixion. The text suggests that Jesus's kingdom was not of this world and that he chose the cross for humanity's sake.

Health and Wellness

Two courses are advertised: one on Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine focusing on holistic health, and another on Hatha Yoga, a psycho-physical system for strengthening the body and mind. Dr. S.K. Kamlesh, director of the International Research Institute of Palmistry & Astrology, is offering these courses in Norway, emphasizing personalized treatment and the benefits of these practices for vitality and well-being.

Astrological Services

Astrolog Arvid H. Foss is offering weekend seminars on 'Fantasireiser/astrologi' (Fantasy Journeys/Astrology) and astrological consultations. The seminars involve guided fantasy journeys to explore one's inner world and strengthen the will to act. Consultations include a detailed horoscope analysis and a 1.5-hour conversation, with options for recording the session. Contact persons are listed for various cities in Norway.

Book Reviews

Several books are advertised at the end of the issue, including "JESUS – DØDE I KASHMIR (INDIA)" by Andreas Faber Kaiser, "Hitler har sagt det" by Hermann Rauschning, "NIETZSCHE" by Anders Ryste, and "FREDENS SOSIOLOGI" by Fredens Sosiologi.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine appears to have a strong interest in paranormal phenomena, particularly UFOs and alien encounters, as evidenced by the prominent cover story. It also explores spiritual and esoteric topics, suggesting a belief in alternative explanations for life's mysteries and a focus on personal growth and well-being through various disciplines like spiritual initiation, ancient wisdom, and astrological guidance. The editorial stance seems to be one of open-mindedness towards unexplained phenomena and a promotion of holistic approaches to health and self-discovery.
