Content Summary

INTERPRETATION OF VENUSIAN FOOTP-INTS by Lillian Laughead

This section delves into symbolic interpretations related to the ancient continent of Mu, also known as Kui, Pan, and Lemuria. The article posits that Mu, the "Empire of the Sun" and "Biblical Garden of Eden," lies beneath the waters. Symbols like a closed lotus signify the end of an old cycle, while a fish represents sunken Mu and the Piscean Age, which will transition to the Aquarian Age. The text explains that Mu sleeps beneath the waves, pervaded by an invisible Trinity. The "third eye" or spiritual eye of the Piscean is closed, representing a cosmic "Erg." The Arabic numeral '1' signifies the Infinite ONE, and Mu being swallowed up by the fish's mouth symbolizes all life returning to the ONE.

The lotus flower, the floral symbol of Mu and the first flower on Earth, is discussed as the "Motherland." A water jug symbolizes the Aquarian Age, from which the new continent will emerge. The article interprets symbols representing colonists leaving Mu, and Mu's emergence in three stages, with a rectangle being a Hieratic letter M. The submersion of "The Lotus" in the Pacific Ocean on "Friday, the 13th" is presented as the origin of the superstition. Lemuria or Mu was divided into three parts by water. "T" represents Tau, resurrection, and the Crux or Southern Cross, signifying the emergence of new life.

The New Continent of the Pacific Ocean, and the New Cycle

This part of the article discusses the emergence of a "New Continent" from the Pacific Ocean, heralding the "New Heavens and New Earth," the "New Cycle," the "New Golden Age," and the "Aquarian or Air Age." This New Mu ("The Lotus") will emerge through volcanic or cataclysmic action. It introduces the "Four Great Primary Forces of Infinite Spirit" which are continually active in the Universe, revolving spherically in vortexes around the Central Sun or Creator. These forces are described as (a) Static Magnetic Field, (b) Electro Static Field, (c) Electro-magnetic Wave, and (d) meson ting Electro-Magnetic Field. Life takes form through these forces, and the human form is universal, made "in the image of God."

Symbols are presented that may represent these forces. The article states that the new, resurrected continent will be brought up through cataclysmic changes in the Pacific Ocean, ushering in the New Age or new Cycle. Colonists (reincarnated) will return from East and West to merge into a new race, facilitated by the coming together of positive (male) and negative (female) lines of force. The ONE SPIRIT is described, with the Sun as the male principle and the Moon as the female principle, from which the Son Creation emerges. The Cosmic Egg, resurrected from the water, brings forth new life. Life takes place through the action of the Four Primary Forces. The left 'V' signifies a closed cycle, while the inverted right 'V' indicates it will be opened. The Seven Planets of Ancient Wisdom will guide the new race. "The Lotus" will emerge as a unit, unifying the three lands. The symbol of the hand represents God's rule and is a universal form. Through purity of living and thought, the spiritual third eye will be opened, leading to telepathy, clairvoyance, and clairaudience, activated by the Electro-magnetic Field. Geometric patterns and the "Music of the Spheres" are described as the cosmic glue holding the Universe together.

THE QUEST by Darold Powers

This article questions whether science truly understands motion, referencing an April 1954 article by A. Kulik in The American Courier. Kulik proposes a theory that there is no motion, suggesting space is filled with inert electrons that are activated by a moving object, causing them to vibrate. The impulse is transferred, not the object moving through space. Physicists observe electrons jumping orbits without crossing space, which aligns with Kulik's theory of impulse transfer. The author congratulates Kulik and explores two implications.

The first implication is that current propulsion methods may be insufficient for long-range space travel. If Kulik's theory is true, propulsion works by activating adjoining electrons, a process not fully understood by its creators. The author suggests that future propulsion might involve activating electrons ahead of the vehicle. Desmond Leslie is mentioned as relating that ancient ancestors propelled flying boats by vibrations, possibly similar to this concept. Modern science could perfect this, and perhaps "space friends" have already done so.

The second implication involves the existence of one or more different universes or systems of nature. The author posits that the vast emptiness between galaxies, where electrons are inert to us, might be perceptible to other intelligences. These inert electrons could form a different universe, a system of nature that cannot fully manifest to us. The author reflects on the feeling of looking into space and sensing intelligent creatures on distant planets, suggesting that our perceptions may need to enlarge to see them, and perhaps they can already see us. The possibility of planets from different natural systems visiting Earth is considered, and their potential influence is questioned. The article concludes by noting the rapid changes in life and the potential confrontation with different systems of nature, emphasizing that "Our universe grows. You and I must grow with it."

This N'That (Column by Jim Moseley)

Jim Moseley reports on an article in NEXUS titled "The Flying Saucer Mystery Solved," where the author claimed to have received irrefutable evidence from a high official source. However, the author now apologizes, stating the documents are no longer in his possession and he cannot elaborate further, cautioning researchers to be "extremely cautious."

• Brief news items include:
• A rare blood disease characterized by an abnormal increase in red blood corpuscles has been discovered in five survivors of the Hiroshima atom bomb blast.
• Japanese scientists report a recent series of Russian atomic explosions in the Lake Baikal area of Siberia.
• A typographical error in "Amazing Prophecy" in The Round House's September issue is corrected: the Saturday Evening Post article was from March 20, 1954, not 1952.
• The author notes the lack of newsprint regarding the scientific expedition to Africa to observe Mars at its closest proximity to Earth.
• A "Voice from the Gallery" is received from Calph Holland, who has recovered from a serious illness.
• A quote from Holland's letter describes "queer goings on" and mysterious voice messages heard on radio frequencies (450-400 V.C.) assigned to aeronautical and marine signals, possibly from space-craft. Rapid "CW" has been heard on sets without PFO, which is considered "impossible" by textbooks, suggesting a speed that would require tape recording to decode.

Other Mentions

• Brookhaven National Laboratories: Weird photos of electrons have been taken, appearing to follow paths backward in time. Physicist Doctor Dirac's theory suggests time travel is mathematically possible.
• University of California: Mentioned in relation to a betatron requiring a mere billion billion electron volts for such results.
• The Mouse: A minimum orbital un-manned satellite, possibly circling Earth in the future, as stated by Prof. S. F. Singer of the University of Maryland.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently explores the intersection of ancient mysteries, theoretical physics, and unexplained phenomena, particularly UFOs. There is a strong emphasis on symbolic interpretation, ancient civilizations (Mu, Lemuria), and the potential for advanced technologies and cosmic understandings beyond current scientific paradigms. The editorial stance appears open to unconventional theories, including those related to space propulsion, time travel, and extraterrestrial contact, while also urging caution and critical thinking, as exemplified by Jim Moseley's column. The publication seems to foster a community of researchers and enthusiasts interested in the "strange & unusual."
