Världen 1960 (The World in 1960)

This section, written by Karl-Otto Aly, presents cosmobiological predictions for the year 1960. It suggests that science aims to forecast the future based on past experiences, and cosmobiology, which includes astrology, strives to predict events by correlating planetary constellations with world happenings. The article notes that personal cosmograms of statesmen often align with their nation's fate, and yearly curves can reflect actual developments.

For 1960, the predictions include a risk of catastrophes from storms around January 20, early February, and early March. April 8 and surrounding days are identified as accident-prone. Early April is favorable for conferences, but late April and May are unfavorable, potentially leading to fruitless negotiations. The period from February to June is expected to be marked by disturbances and tension.

The latter part of the year might see increased unrest, interstate tensions, and potential mass fate events, especially as the planet Mars approaches Earth and interacts with Uranus and Saturn. The lunar node's proximity to Pluto is also mentioned. October is highlighted as particularly critical, with potential shifts in major powers' relations, such as the USA withdrawing financial support from NATO countries. Eisenhower's vitality might not be enough to counter these developments, especially if domestic politics tie his hands.

Regarding specific nations, the USA is predicted to be on the defensive in May-June, despite the president's apparent good health until autumn, suggesting national fatigue. The Soviet Union, conversely, is expected to achieve significant successes, particularly in technology, boosting its goodwill among former colonies. March is anticipated to bring a major technical triumph for the Soviets. Khrushchev may experience periods of fatigue but recovers quickly and is ready to act.

Jorden som läkemedel (Earth as Medicine)

This article by Karl-Otto Aly explores the historical and medicinal use of earth, referred to as 'Heilerde' (healing earth). It notes that earth has been used as a remedy since antiquity, with specific earth types known for their healing properties. The article mentions biblical references to the use of earth for healing and the practice of geophagy (eating earth) among some indigenous peoples.

Despite falling into disuse, earth as medicine saw a revival in the late 19th century, notably through the work of health pioneer Adolf Just. Just, who advocated a simple vegetarian lifestyle, developed a health resort called Jungborn and promoted the use of a specific type of earth, 'Luvos-Heilerde', which is still available today. Scientific studies by Professor H. Jung and Professor M. Vogel have confirmed the medicinal properties of this earth, attributing its effectiveness to its chemical-physical characteristics, including its high absorption capacity for toxins, bacteria, and excess acid, as well as its rich mineral content.

Heilerde is said to bind excess stomach acid without interfering with necessary digestion, neutralize toxins in the gut, and promote regeneration. It is considered valuable for treating civilization diseases like high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, allergies, asthma, and eczema, which are often linked to intestinal autointoxication. The article also highlights its use in treating skin conditions, wounds, and joint pain externally.

Radiant-energi (Radiant Energy)

This section continues the discussion on cosmic energy, focusing on Dr. Moray's invention of a device that converts cosmic radiation into usable energy. The article references a special issue of the German magazine 'Weltgewissen' which details the invention. The device, about the size of a radio, connects via antenna and ground wire but requires no batteries or external power. When tuned to a specific cosmic wavelength, it can produce 50,000 Watts, with the potential for much higher outputs.

Dr. Moray is credited with a 40-year research career, being the original discoverer of the transistor (though a large corporation claimed the invention). He also developed a new method for ore enrichment, a technique for hardening metal to glass-like hardness, and achieved transmutation of elements, reportedly turning lead into gold that remains stable, unlike gold produced in Harvard's cyclotron. Furthermore, he invented a method using cosmic radiation to dissolve cancerous tumors and thrombi, with results confirmed by physicians.

Despite his discoveries, Dr. Moray faced significant harassment, including theft and assassination attempts. The lack of financial resources has prevented him from patenting his 'radiant energy apparatus' due to the American patent law, which requires strong financial backing for patent holders to defend their inventions against infringers.

Världen 1959 (The World in 1959)

This article reviews astrological predictions for 1959 made by three sources: Troinski's "Ödesåret 1959", Raphael's Almanack, and the Kosmobiologischer Jahrbuch by Ebertin-Verlag. The author critically assesses the accuracy of these predictions.

Troinski's predictions are deemed too general and alarmist, particularly his forecast of a world conflict, which did not materialize; instead, there was a period of détente between the USA and the Soviet Union. His specific predictions for France, Germany, and Egypt were also found to be inaccurate. However, his observations about internal unrest in the USA and tensions in the Far East were partially correct.

Raphael's Almanack is considered more accurate, with its predictions for England, the Near East, Soviet Union, China, and Japan aligning reasonably well. However, it was incorrect about the death of a prominent national figure in England and Japan, US bomb tests in July, and Eisenhower's health.

The Kosmobiologischer Jahrbuch, based on yearly curves for nations and leaders, is highlighted for its surprising accuracy. For instance, it correctly predicted the timing of US Secretary of State Dulles's death, Queen Elizabeth's difficulties in Canada, and Khrushchev's illness, correlating with dips in their respective yearly curves.

OLOF STYRÉN - IN MEMORIAM

This obituary honors Olof Styrén, a civil engineer who passed away in late November. It describes him as a misunderstood researcher who warned against the dangers of atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb tests, predicting their echoes would cause earthquakes, floods, and epidemics. Styrén's work 'Dual-fysik' is mentioned as proposing an alternative path for humanity away from dangerous atomic physics towards a more life-affirming and spiritually oriented technology. His health was broken by constant opposition and resistance.

"Majoritet" (Majority)

This is a review of a book titled "Majoritet" by Aug. Borgström. The reviewer praises the book for its thought-provoking content on democracy, history, philosophy, and religion, presented in a concise and aphoristic style. The book is recommended for its ability to stimulate thought and serve as pleasant company. It is suggested that the book's insights into societal forms should be the basis for evaluation and choice.

Västerlandet går under om inte... (The West is Doomed Unless...)

This article poses a question to the reader, prompting them to complete the sentence "The West is doomed unless...". It suggests that the continuation of the title could be "Sweden" or "mankind". The author believes that the only salvation for humanity lies in honestly addressing this question in all corners of the world, especially in long-established cultured nations. The article recommends the book "Djävulsdansen" (The Devil's Dance) as a helpful resource for exploring this issue, describing it as a novelistic portrayal of destructive forces and their impact on contemporary society.

BOLTZIUS - Helbrägdagöraren från Värmland (The Healer from Värmland)

This piece discusses the healing abilities of Boltzius, a man from Värmland. It draws parallels with Jesus's healing methods, emphasizing faith and divine power. The article suggests that Boltzius possessed a strong natural healing gift, amplified by his faith and spiritual connection. It recounts instances of his healing work, noting that he attributed the cures to divine intervention rather than his own efforts. The text mentions that Boltzius was subject to criticism and slander but also received recognition from various individuals and Christian circles. A book by Karl Linge about Boltzius's life and work is mentioned.

Sök befrielse från vaccinationen! (Seek Freedom from Vaccination!)

This article discusses the Swedish vaccination law, particularly concerning exemptions for children. It references Richard Jobson, who worked to mitigate the law, and explains that while children are generally required to be vaccinated before turning four, there is a provision (§ 8) allowing for exemptions based on serious reservations, requiring an application to the health board and an informative interview with a doctor.

The author expresses strong criticism of medical science and vaccination, calling it a form of mass murder and poisoning. The article argues that science has made grave errors and that the current trend of mandatory vaccinations is misguided and harmful.

SPOKERIER OCH JORDSTRÅLNING (Hauntings and Earth Radiation)

This article, based on a piece from the German magazine 'Ockulte Stimme', discusses the connection between hauntings and earth radiation. Hermann Grettler, an expert in identifying and shielding against harmful earth radiation, suggests that scientific understanding of earth radiation is incomplete until it grasps that 'spirit shapes matter, not the other way around'. Earth radiation is described as a phenomenon where spirit and matter are uniquely combined.

The article recounts an experience where Grettler and a female magnetizer, Fru Anni Hagen, helped a family plagued by illness in their new home. They discovered a strong earth radiation zone beneath the family's sleeping areas. After installing shielding devices and providing healing treatment, the young woman in the family recovered from a severe illness. The article also describes a supernatural encounter experienced by the mother of the patient, who witnessed spirits attempting to dissuade her from using the shielding device, only to disappear after a loud noise at midnight.

Bioelement

This section introduces 'bioelements' as protective agents against poisoning and atomic radiation, and as regenerative agents. It mentions new scientific discoveries related to life functions and the work of Dr. Rudolf Kraft in Germany, who has developed compounds to counteract atomic radiation and regenerate the earth. The article cites an example from Georges Oshava's book "Das Wunder der Diätetik" regarding the survival of a hospital in Nagasaki during the atomic bombing, attributed to strict adherence to dietary guidelines.
