Articles and Content

Till våra läsare (To Our Readers)

This editorial, written by Sune Hjorth, addresses the readers' concerns about the state of Earth and the lack of information regarding extraterrestrial visitors. Hjorth suggests that 'Pleiadians' have tried to provide examples of a better civilization through their home planet, Erra. He contrasts Erra's advanced society with Earth's 'sick civilization' and mentions the historical event in ancient Egypt where a high-ranking person suffocated a young pharaoh. He also speculates that Jesus, who was crucified 2000 years ago, might have reincarnated and will return with extraterrestrials in a UFO. Hjorth also promotes his new UFO book, 'Rymdmänniskor på Jorden!' (Space People on Earth!).

Rymdfolket och det sköna livet på Erra (The Space People and the Beautiful Life on Erra)

This article describes the planet Erra, located in the Pleiades star cluster, as a highly developed world with a pure atmosphere and a population of 500 million. The inhabitants enjoy a high standard of living, with an average lifespan of 1000 years, due to their healthy, vegetarian lifestyle and advanced spiritual development. The article highlights that Erra's inhabitants live in harmony with nature, with individual homes surrounded by gardens, and travel in silent, electromagnetic vehicles. They work only two hours a day, with advanced technology and robots handling most labor. The society is free from corrupt politicians and operates on principles of freedom, justice, and mutual respect, with no need for money as everyone's needs are met.

Varför döljer man sanningen om UFO? (Why is the Truth About UFOs Hidden?)

This article, referencing David Icke's book, argues that the truth about UFOs is hidden by a 'global elite' and negative extraterrestrials who conspire to establish a totalitarian New World Order. The elite manipulates public opinion through the media, while negative aliens plan to take over Earth. The author claims that revealing the advanced societies of positive extraterrestrials would thwart these plans. The motive for secrecy is to prevent humanity from gaining a broader perspective on life and to maintain control by suppressing knowledge of better societal systems. The article also touches upon the power of bankers and the financial system, suggesting it's a tool for control.

Rymdvännerna varnar - vi måste göra något åt överbefolkningen! (Space Friends Warn - We Must Do Something About Overpopulation!)

This section warns about the catastrophic consequences of overpopulation on Earth. The article states that Earth's population has grown exponentially, from 300 million 1000 years ago to six billion by the late 20th century. It claims that Earth can only sustain 530 million people for dignified living conditions. The author points to irresponsible childbearing in developing countries as a major cause, leading to widespread poverty, starvation, social unrest, and conflict. The article also criticizes religious doctrines that oppose birth control and highlights the discrimination against women as a factor contributing to the problem.

Rymdvännerna varnar: vi misshandlar Jorden! (Space Friends Warn: We Are Abusing the Earth!)

This article discusses the mistreatment of Earth by those in power, citing the testing of atomic bombs as a prime example. It recounts the events leading up to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, suggesting it was a provocation to draw the US into World War II. The author criticizes the continued nuclear testing by various nations, leading to environmental destruction and posing a threat to world peace. The article also mentions the discovery of a large planet beyond Pluto and the uninhabitable state of Venus. It touches upon the exploitation of oil and natural gas, warning that these resources are vital for cushioning impacts from meteors and asteroids, and their removal could destabilize Earth's crust.

Återfödda berömdheter i vår UFO-organisation! (Reincarnated Celebrities in Our UFO Organization!)

This extensive article explores the concept of reincarnation, suggesting that individuals often reincarnate with people they knew in past lives. It claims that several members of the Swedish UFO organization are reincarnated historical figures, including prophets, pharaohs, and gods from ancient Egypt. The article details the story of Osiris, Isis, Horus, and Seth, and claims that Osiris is now Nils Jönsson, Isis is Ester Dahlström, Horus is Nora Dahlström, and Seth is Rune Dahlström. It further connects figures like Juja, Tuja, Anen, Amenhotep III, and Nefertiti to modern individuals, including Josef Östlund and Anette Kozika. The article also discusses the reign of Amenhotep IV (Akhnaton), his religious reforms, and the political intrigues of his time, suggesting that Tutankhamun, who was married to Ankhesenpaaten, is now represented by Sylvia Dahlström.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a worldview that integrates UFO phenomena with spiritual and esoteric beliefs, particularly reincarnation and ancient astronaut theories. There is a strong anti-establishment sentiment, criticizing governments, financial institutions, and mainstream science for secrecy and manipulation. The publication advocates for a more conscious and spiritually evolved humanity, capable of understanding and interacting with extraterrestrial civilizations. Environmentalism and concerns about overpopulation are also prominent themes, framed within a spiritual and cosmic context. The editorial stance is critical of materialism and promotes a holistic view of existence, emphasizing personal responsibility and spiritual growth.

Title: UFO-KONTAKT
Publisher: Sveriges UFO-förbund (SUFO)
Document Type: Magazine Issue
Issue Date: Not specified
Language: Swedish
ISSN: 1103-6842

This issue of UFO-KONTAKT, the official organ of the Swedish UFO Federation, features a striking cover with a drawing depicting a man observing a UFO in a starry sky, alongside a prominent headline concerning the Turin Shroud and the survival of Immanuel (Jesus) from crucifixion.

Article 1: Nora's Past Life Experiences

The first article details the extraordinary experiences of an individual named Nora, who claims to have vivid memories of past lives. She describes a profound connection with someone named Eje, referring to him as her 'twin soul.' Nora recounts a traumatic event where she was nearly murdered, and Eje's subsequent actions, including placing gold in her grave and performing black magic to bind souls, to prevent her grave from being plundered. She expresses pity for him, noting his lingering guilt in his current life.

Nora's past life recall extends to existences in ancient Egypt as Horus, Anen, and Tutankhamon. She also remembers being a medicineman, a Carolinian cavalryman from Jämtland, an English sailor from the late 16th century, and a jester in a medieval English manor.

Furthermore, Nora shares memories of experiences after death. She recalls seeing herself lying dead on a platform in a forest clearing after dying as a medicineman, an experience her father also had from a higher vantage point. In another instance, she describes being in a finematerial state after death when her current brother, as a young Viking, died at sea. She was able to help him realize he had transitioned to the finematerial state and overcome his agitation.

Nora concludes by emphasizing that these memories can feel like a dream but are perceived as true upon waking, suggesting that materialism needs to be re-evaluated as not all existence is purely material.

Article 2: The Turin Shroud as Proof of Immanuel's Survival

The lead article, "Svepningen som bevisar att rymdsonen Immanuel överlevde korsfästelsen!" (The Shroud proving that the space son Immanuel survived the crucifixion!), presents a controversial theory about the Turin Shroud. It argues that the prepared linen cloth, in which the unconscious prophet Immanuel (referred to as 'Jesus Kristus') was wrapped after being taken down from the cross, bears a full imprint of his body, including his face. The article posits that the presence of bloodstains on the cloth indicates he was alive, as dead bodies do not bleed.

This narrative is linked to the historical accounts of the Turin Shroud, as depicted by historian Ian Wilson in "The Turin Shroud" (1978) and researcher Holger Kersten in "Jesus lived in India" (1994). Due to the volatile conditions in Palestine, the Shroud was allegedly moved out of the country, eventually reaching the city of Edessa (modern Urfa in Turkey). It remained hidden until its discovery during the reign of Emperor Justinianus in the 6th century.

In the 10th century, the Shroud was brought to Constantinople and kept in a silver shrine in the Hagia Sophia as its most sacred relic. When the city was conquered by Western crusaders in 1204, a Templar knight reportedly took the Shroud to France, where it was secretly kept within his family through the late Middle Ages. In 1578, it was transferred to Turin, northern Italy, and remained a possession of the House of Savoy until 1988, when it was bequeathed to the Papal Church in Rome.

The article criticizes the Christian church for its reliance on the Pauline doctrine of atonement through Jesus' sacrificial death. It suggests that if Jesus did not die on the cross around 32 AD but lived for another 80 years in Srinagar, Kashmir, the 'doctrine of atonement' would be invalidated.

The Vatican's alleged actions to discredit the Shroud are also discussed. When Pope John Paul II persuaded the House of Savoy to bequeath the Shroud to the Church in 1988, fabric samples, claimed to be from the relic, were sent to laboratories. These samples, allegedly taken from a garment from the late 13th century found in a church in southern France, were dated to the late Middle Ages using the carbon-14 method, thus attempting to cast doubt on the Shroud's authenticity.

The article expresses skepticism about the Swedish clergy acknowledging that Jesus did not die on the cross, nor that the Gospels are falsified versions of the true account written by Judas Iskariot and translated into Swedish by the author.
