UFO-Kontakt - 2003 4

Magazine Overview

Title: UFO-KONTAKT
Issue: Nr 4, 2003
Publisher: Organ för Sveriges UFO-förbund (SUFO)

This issue of UFO-KONTAKT, published in Swedish, delves into profound questions about the origin of the universe, the meaning of life, spiritual existence, and the afterlife. It critiques the suppression of these topics by religious, political, and economic powers, and also the denial of the presence of extraterrestrial visitors. The magazine suggests that mainstream society is distracted by superficial entertainment and sports, diverting attention from more significant societal issues.

Editorial Stance and Contents

The editorial, "Till våra läsare!" (To our readers!), by SUNE HJORTH, expresses concern about the potential cessation of the magazine's publication after twelve years due to the editor's uncertainty about continuing. It highlights the persistent human interest in fundamental life questions, spiritual existence, and past lives, which have been systematically suppressed. The issue aims to shed light on spirituality, drawing from interesting literature.

"Världsalltets, livets och andevärldens mysterier" (Mysteries of the Universe, Life, and the Spirit World)

This article challenges the materialistic view of science, arguing that it fails to adequately explain the origin of life and consciousness. It posits that humans are spiritual beings inhabiting physical bodies temporarily. Evidence cited includes near-death experiences, memories of past lives, and the phenomenon of channeling. The author suggests that the universe is composed of energy at various frequencies, with the spiritual realm existing at a higher vibration than the physical. It references the concept of a universal creative force, "Skapelsen," as the origin of the universe, from which spiritual beings emerge and incarnate to evolve towards perfection.

The article further explores the idea that the development of life on Earth, from single-celled organisms to complex animals and humans, was a deliberate process by the universal consciousness. However, it notes that humanity's development on Earth has gone awry due to widespread selfishness, materialism, and lust for power, leading to conflict and suffering. The importance of recognizing one's spiritual self and utilizing its power and knowledge is emphasized.

It also touches upon the teachings of "Immanuel" (Jesus), emphasizing self-responsibility and spiritual development rather than blind adherence to religious dogma. The article distinguishes between the universal creative force and created beings, including those from space who were sometimes mistaken for gods. The core message is that individuals must learn to follow the eternal laws of creation to achieve happiness.

"Den sanna historien om Atlantis och Lemurien ?" (The True Story of Atlantis and Lemurien?)

This section presents the sensational claim that two large continents, Atlantis and Lemuria, disappeared into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans approximately 11,500 and 26,000 years ago, respectively. It references Plato's dialogues, which recount the story of Atlantis as told by the Egyptian priest of Sais to Solon. Atlantis, a powerful kingdom ruled by Poseidon's descendants, eventually succumbed to its rulers' lust for power and imperialistic ambitions, leading to its destruction by earthquakes and floods.

The article also incorporates the theories of German physicist Otto Muck, who suggests that the Azores are remnants of the sunken Atlantis. Muck attributes the cataclysm to a cosmic disaster involving a celestial body from the asteroid belt. This event is linked to the formation of a massive cloud of ash and vapor, potentially causing the sudden death of mammoths in Siberia and a shift in Earth's axis. The disappearance of Atlantis is also proposed as the reason for the redirection of the Gulf Stream, affecting ice ages in Scandinavia, and explaining the migratory patterns of eels.

Furthermore, it is revealed that Otto Muck was the reincarnation of the Greek philosopher Plato. The article also discusses the Pleiadian and Sirian perspectives on the destruction of Atlantis and Lemuria, attributing it to power struggles and conflicts involving extraterrestrial beings and human factions. The Sirian version suggests that internal conflicts within Atlantis and the destruction of the rival civilization of Jonien led to Atlantis's downfall.

"En känd skådespelerskas fantastiska upplevelser!" (A Famous Actress's Fantastic Experiences!)

This article focuses on the experiences of Hollywood actress Shirley MacLaine, who has explored profound life questions and had extraordinary experiences, including past-life regressions and communication with spiritual entities. Her book "Out on a Limb" (1983) is mentioned, where she discusses her observations of global suffering and her realization that societal development had taken a wrong turn due to political self-interest and materialism.

MacLaine's journey led her to believe in a higher spiritual dimension and that her true self is a spiritual being incarnated in a physical body. She learned about reincarnation and the idea that humans have lived multiple lives, with the purpose of spiritual development. The article highlights her encounters with mediums and spiritual guides, including "John," who identified himself as her spiritual leader from past lives. Through these experiences, MacLaine gained insights into the nature of consciousness, the interconnectedness of all things, and the importance of spiritual growth.

Her experiences also involved communication with extraterrestrial beings and learning about different vibrational frequencies in the universe. The article emphasizes that positive, loving thought has the highest frequency and is part of the divine creative force that sustains the universe. It also touches upon the concept of karma and personal responsibility for one's destiny, contrasting it with the doctrines of traditional religions.

Shirley MacLaine's later book, "El Camino" (2000), detailing her pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago, is also mentioned. During this pilgrimage, she experienced visions that connected her to past lives, including a life as a Moorish woman and a connection to historical figures like Charlemagne and Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme. These visions suggest a recurring theme of leadership, political ambition, and the struggle for power across different eras.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the limitations of materialistic science, the existence of a spiritual dimension, the concept of reincarnation, and the influence of extraterrestrial beings. The magazine promotes a New Age perspective, emphasizing personal spiritual growth, the interconnectedness of all beings, and the idea that individuals are responsible for their own destiny. There is a critical stance towards established religions and political systems, which are seen as hindering spiritual awareness and individual freedom. The editor's personal reflections on the future of the magazine suggest a dedication to exploring these unconventional topics, even in the face of potential publication challenges.

This issue of UFO-KONTAKT, the quarterly journal for the study of facts concerning extraterrestrial flying objects and alien civilizations, published by Sveriges UFO-förbund (SUFO), delves into ancient civilizations and their potential connections to extraterrestrial contact. The publication, with ISSN 1103-6842, is edited by Sune Hjorth, who also serves as the chairman of the board, alongside board members Ivan Jonsson and Gunnar Elvenfalk.

Lemuria and Atlantis: Visions of Past Civilizations

The issue features an account of Shirley's visions of a past civilization called Lemuria. This civilization, which existed approximately 50 million years ago, had about 50 million inhabitants and its capital was Ramu, located where Hawaii is today. Lemurians were characterized by their pursuit of harmony, collective consciousness, and spiritual development, with selfishness and materialism being rare. They communicated telepathically and had long lifespans due to their harmonious physical structure. Their music was used as a form of sound therapy with healing properties, contrasting with the disharmonious music of the modern world.

Shirley also learned that Lemurians were extraterrestrials who colonized Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago. They not only settled on Earth but also accelerated the evolution of native primates, possibly through genetic engineering and interbreeding, thus bridging the 'missing link' in Earth's evolutionary chain.

Lemurians established daughter colonies, including one on Atlantis. However, Atlantis's development took a negative turn, influenced by technologically advanced extraterrestrials. The collective consciousness and sense of community were lost, replaced by a desire for self-assertion and control over others. This led to a hierarchical society and a pursuit of world domination by a ruling class.

Shirley participated in a program to counteract this negative development in Atlantis but found it difficult to make a significant impact. Selfishness and social injustice led to unprecedented crime, and resources were diverted to military and police forces, mirroring issues in the modern world. John, Shirley's guide, noted that when individuals start thinking only of themselves, it signals the beginning of the end for a civilization.

The loss of spirituality in Atlantis resulted in a competitive, corrupt, violent, and murderous society. Shirley eventually returned to her Lemurian homeland, but even there, she noticed a decline in collective spirituality and the emergence of Atlantean tendencies.

Tragically, Lemuria was eventually destroyed by massive earthquakes and floods, causing the continent and its 50 million inhabitants, including Shirley and John's bodies, to disappear into the ocean. While Shirley perceived this as a natural disaster, the article suggests it might have been an act of war by Atlanteans, citing information from "Sirian sources."

Technology and Spirituality

The magazine emphasizes that technological and other knowledge can be used for both good and evil. It stresses the importance of spiritual development keeping pace with technological progress. True security is achieved when knowledge acquisition is combined with wisdom and a positive attitude towards other beings.

The article criticizes the media-manipulated public for allowing power-hungry and profit-driven individuals to control the world. It questions whether even the spiritually advanced Shirley MacLaine fully grasps the radical societal reforms needed for a society based on freedom, justice, and true democracy. The author advocates for legislative limits on income and wealth, replacing the current market economy driven by private banks and corporations with a democratically planned economy that meets everyone's basic needs. The importance of national independence is highlighted as a means to achieve such reforms.

A well-ordered and prosperous world, the author argues, cannot be established without addressing the issue of uncontrolled population growth in poorer countries, which are exploited by Western financiers. A seven-year "birth stop" has been proposed by extraterrestrials and beings from the higher spiritual world to Eduard Meier, a contact person in Switzerland.

Book Reviews

The "Läsvärda böcker" (Worthwhile Books) section features reviews of two books:

1. Judas Iscariot: Mästarens lära och liv (1994): This book, translated from a Swedish manuscript, claims to reveal Jesus's true teachings, differing from the Gospel of Matthew, which it suggests is a falsified copy. Judas Iscariot is portrayed not as a traitor but as a faithful disciple entrusted with recording Jesus's life and teachings. The review states that the original Aramaic scroll was stolen by the Pharisee Judas Ihariot and sold to the Jewish priesthood. The true teachings of Jesus, as rediscovered in 1963 with the help of extraterrestrials, are presented as a more accurate version than the Pauline Christianity that followed.
2. Sune Hjorth: Rymdmänniskor på Jorden (1996): This book is described as a summary of the author's years of study regarding the presence of extraterrestrials on Earth, both in the past and present.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue revolve around ancient civilizations (Lemuria and Atlantis), their potential extraterrestrial origins, and their downfall due to a loss of spirituality and a rise in materialism and power-seeking.
