UFO Contactee 8 November 1992

Magazine Overview

This issue of UFO contactee, published by GAP-JAPAN NEWSLETTER, International Edition in November 1992, focuses on the controversial topic of Jesus' true story and the law of reincarnation. The cover headline boldly proclaims "Jesus, His True Story and the Law of Reincarnation," suggesting a departure from conventional religious narratives.

Jesus' Real Existence is True

The article begins by asserting the historical existence of Jesus, acknowledging that the New Testament, written about 2,000 years ago, contains descriptions that are difficult to accept without question. The author, Hachiro Kubota, states that as a nonfiction researcher, he finds parts of the story doubtful. A specific example is given regarding Judas Iscariot, where information from a reliable source suggests Judas did not betray Jesus but attempted to help Him. This information was reportedly revealed to Mrs. Alice B. Pomeroy by George Adamski.

While the Gospels by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are similar, they are not identical, leading some scholars to believe there might have been an original text. The authorship of Matthew is also questioned, with some suggesting it was written by an enthusiastic Jewish adherent in Syria, potentially leading to exaggerated or created descriptions.

However, the author confirms Jesus was a real person, citing research by Mr. Shigeru Sakakibara, a Japanese researcher who spent many years in Jerusalem. George Adamski, in his book "Inside The Space Ships," is also quoted as stating that Jesus was a person who came to Earth from another planet through reincarnation.

Historical Context and Biblical Accounts

The article delves into the historical context of Jesus' life, noting his Hebrew name was Jehoshua, later transliterated to Iesous. It mentions his eventual identification as "The King of the Jews" and his crucifixion. The author asserts that by researching historical remains in Jerusalem, one can trace the biblical events, such as Jesus' arrest after praying at Gethsemane, his imprisonment at Caiaphas' house, and his trial before Pilate. The existence of excavated stone steps, which Jesus may have touched, is highlighted as precious remains, though sadly, some have been taken for construction.

History of the Mysterious Holy Shroud

The Holy Shroud is presented as a significant relic proving Jesus' existence. It is described as a sheet of cloth said to have wrapped Jesus' body after the Crucifixion, now stored in Torino, Italy. The biblical accounts from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are cited regarding Joseph of Arimathea wrapping Jesus in a linen sheet and placing him in a tomb. The article traces the Shroud's history, starting with its appearance in Edessa (modern-day Urfa, Turkey) around 30 AD, where it was presented to King Abgar V as a mysterious portrait of Jesus. After being hidden for about 500 years, it was rediscovered in 525 AD during reconstruction work following a flood. It became an object of worship, believed to be a depiction of Jesus. The Shroud was moved to Constantinople in 944 AD and later appeared in France in 1350 AD, where it was first called the "Holy Shroud." It eventually came into the possession of the Savoy family and was later moved to Torino. A fire in 1532 damaged a portion of the Shroud. In 1578, it was moved to its current chapel in Torino, and it is now owned by the Vatican.

Heated Arguments in the Scientific World

The physical characteristics of the Shroud are described: 1.1 meters wide and 4.4 meters long, with a yellowish tone. When unrolled, it shows two rows of triangular patterns and two figures of a man – one front, one back – attached at the heads. In 1898, photographer Secondo Pia's dramatic discovery was made when developing the negative image, which appeared as a positive, revealing a face of extreme solemnity. This discovery created a sensation, leading scientists to study the Shroud. The article notes that the printed face appears three-dimensional, unlike a painted image.

Scientific estimations suggest the man on the Shroud was about 1.76 meters tall, around 30 years old, weighing 79 kilograms, with a mustache and beard. This is contrasted with the often-depicted slender image of Jesus. The article posits Jesus must have had a strong, muscular body to support his missionary activities. Scientific findings also indicate torn skin on the head, bloodstains, broken nose, torn eyelids, and numerous scars on the torso, likely from whippings. Abrasions on the shoulders suggest the man carried a heavy object, possibly the crossbar, weighing around 40 kilograms. Abrasions on the knees indicate he may have fallen while carrying it. A large open wound on the right flank is also noted, along with bloodstains.

Further findings include the insertion of coins into the eyes, possibly a Jewish custom. There is no evidence of the body being washed, explaining the bloodstains. The article mentions that by October 1978, radiocarbon dating had not yet been attempted. However, the radiocarbon dating developed in 1946 was later applied. Despite potential inaccuracies in the method, the Vatican permitted dating in 1988, with results officially announced as the Shroud being made in the 14th century. The article questions this result.

Saw a Reflection of Jesus in a Mother Ship

Dr. Makoto Akiyama, a contactee in Japan, shares his perspective. He states that "space people" informed him that Jesus was a short man with a strong, muscular body and a slender face. His mission was to change the world's direction during an era of authoritarianism. Dr. Akiyama suggests that during a period of his life, Jesus journeyed to the East, visiting places like Tibet, Thailand, and Egypt, to contact individuals with strong mind power and confirm his mission, possibly to develop his abilities. He believes Jesus foresaw future events and acted to prevent the worst outcomes. His decision to be crucified is linked to the need to correct the world's karmic distortion and prevent natural disasters. His resurrection is attributed to the help of spacepeople.

Dr. Akiyama also suggests that the angel mentioned in Matthew's account of the Resurrection was a spaceman who revived Jesus using special techniques. He believes spacepeople were heavily involved in the Resurrection, providing Jesus with unusual physical power. George Adamski reportedly stated that Jesus was not completely dead after crucifixion but in a state of suspended animation.

Dr. Akiyama also claims to have seen a reflection of a living Jesus on a screen in a mothership. This reflection, though blurred and faint, showed a face identical to the one on the Holy Shroud, with Jesus waving his hand, his fingers long and knuckled. He believes this was a recording made by spacepeople while Jesus was alive. Spacepeople, he explains, preserve detailed records of individuals who cooperate with them.

Regarding the 14th-century carbon dating result of the Holy Shroud, Dr. Akiyama suggests the Vatican may have released false information to avoid trouble within the Catholic world.

Adamski was John in His Past Life

The article references a conversation in "Inside the Space Ships" where a lady from another planet states that beings from other planets have been living among us "since time immemorial," and for the past two thousand years, they have carried on their mission in a less perilous way than direct birth on Earth. She clearly states Jesus came through reincarnation. George Adamski reportedly revealed to a few close people that he had been John when Jesus was crucified at Golgotha. This revelation was kept private to avoid ridicule. Mrs. Alice Wells is quoted as saying Adamski had strong supernatural powers, including telepathy and the ability to see distant places and auras.

The Magnificent Portrait of Jesus

George Adamski painted an oil portrait of Jesus based on his past-life memory of the event. This portrait, painted in autumn 1975, was reportedly in Maria's house in Mexico City. The author had the opportunity to photograph it, describing it as a "magnificent" life-size picture. It is noted that the lower part of the body was less carefully painted than the face. After Maria Cristina de Rueda's death, the portrait was burned with her body. The author feels honored to have seen it firsthand.

The Law of Reincarnation

George Adamski affirmed the existence of reincarnation, a phenomenon studied by many. The article states that the "spiritual world" as commonly conceived does not exist, a point also made by Dr. Makoto Akiyama based on information from spacepeople. The essential self of a person moves into a newborn baby's body shortly after birth, not conception. Individuals experience innumerable lives, often across different genders, races, and countries, to learn lessons. Upon spiritual progress, they may reincarnate on more advanced planets, progressing through the universe. Karma is presented as a force that makes one believe in seemingly unbelievable truths.

Questions & Answers by George Adamski (1957)

This section reprints a Q&A from George Adamski's 1957 newsletter. Adamski clarifies his use of the term "Master" to refer to wise beings from other planets, defining it by Webster's definition of someone "eminently or perfectly skilled." He states that no one on Earth has attained Christhood to the place of Mastery. These "Masters" possess advanced knowledge of their bodies, thought, and minds, and have a deep understanding of their purpose and the unity of the cosmos. They exhibit humility and compassion, seeing the cause behind all acts and advising without personality. Adamski explains that these beings helped him understand Earth's history and the destructive patterns of humanity compared to other civilizations that built on peace and happiness. He emphasizes they are normal, physical beings, not mysterious entities. They view death as a transition to a new home, and their new bodies are material forms, as the Life Force of the Divine Creator expresses through manifestation. Adamski criticizes the human concept of mastery as growing beyond the need for a physical form, seeing it as a misinterpretation of life's laws. He believes humanity's inability to recognize its potential has led to the perversion of current teachings.

Adamski also addresses the question of why governments are hesitant to inform the public about space visitations. He suggests it's due to fear of public panic and a lack of adequate protection. He notes that published Air Force reports have admitted the reality of space craft (UFOs) but retracted admissions due to public panic. He places responsibility on the public for these vacillating reports, urging steady citizens to voice their interest calmly.

Finally, Adamski explains why he doesn't defend himself against critics: truth needs no defense and will prove itself over time. He considers his time too valuable for controversies and prefers constructive efforts for the betterment of life.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the reinterpretation of Jesus' life and significance, the historical and scientific investigation of the Holy Shroud, and the concept of reincarnation as a universal law. The magazine's stance, as presented through the articles and interviews, is critical of conventional religious dogma and open to alternative explanations, particularly those involving extraterrestrial contact and past-life experiences. The publication champions the idea that conventional understanding is often limited and that deeper truths may be found in unconventional sources, such as contactee testimonies and esoteric research.

This document is an issue of "UFO contactee", the International Edition, published once a year by GAP-Japan in November 1992. It details the GAP-Japan 1992 General Assembly and provides information about the organization.

GAP-Japan 1992 General Assembly

The annual general assembly of GAP-Japan was held on October 10, 1992, at the Kikai Shinko Hall in Tokyo, Japan. The event was titled "The 40th Anniversary of George Adamski's Contact at Desert Center" and commemorated Adamski's contact with an extraterrestrial from Venus on November 20, 1952. Approximately 210 people attended, most of whom were members of GAP-Japan, supporting Adamski's claims.

Hachiro Kubota, representative of GAP-Japan, delivered a lecture titled "How To Have Cosmic Faith And Courage," focusing on Adamski's cosmic philosophy. Following the lecture, attendees participated in a guided cosmic meditation to unify their minds and Cosmic Consciousness. A telepathy contest was then held, where participants received thought waves carrying five ESP symbols transmitted by senders, and their impressions were recorded. The top three winners received awards. The assembly concluded with a Question and Answer session.

In the evening, a grand dinner party was held at the Ginza Kaikan, attended by about 120 people. The dinner was considered a great success. Before the dinner commenced, two members from Osaka reported witnessing a UFO flying over the Ginza.

GAP-Japan Organization

GAP-Japan was founded by Hachiro Kubota in 1961. Kubota had been an international co-worker of George Adamski since 1954. GAP-Japan is described as the largest UFO-Cosmic Philosophy research group in Asia, with its head office in Tokyo and 17 branches nationwide. The organization publishes the Japanese edition of "UFO contactee" four times a year and the English edition once a year. Monthly meetings are held at the head office and branches to study UFO affairs and cosmic philosophy, with research based on recordings and videos from the head office.

GAP-Japan members are described as earnest followers of Adamski's claims, with their cosmic philosophy primarily based on his books, "Science of Life" and "Telepathy - The Cosmic or Universal Language." Kubota has translated Adamski's books and speeches into Japanese, publishing them as the "New Adamski Complete Works" in 10 volumes.

Some members of GAP-Japan have reportedly developed psychic abilities, including telepathy and clairvoyance, and have claimed to have contacted space people from other planets.

Kubota predicts that by 2010, major world powers will recognize the existence of other civilizations in our solar system. He also believes that Adamski's research on extraterrestrial life will gain increasing global popularity, ensuring George Adamski's immortal legacy.
