Les Grands Secrets de l'Esoterisme Hebraique

The issue begins with an exploration of the esoteric secrets of Hebrew mysticism, suggesting that Albert Einstein may have unlocked profound truths by studying ancient Kabbalistic texts. The article posits that Einstein's understanding of the Hebrew word 'Chideqel' (or ChiDeQol), representing the power to regulate the disintegration of matter, might have led him to comprehend the nature of atomic energy and the mystery of flying saucers. It is suggested that Einstein believed UFOs were piloted by a people who left Earth 10,000 years ago and were returning.

Les Soucoupes Volantes et Leurs Pilotes

This section delves into the idea that UFOs are piloted by beings from Earth's distant past. It references Einstein's quote about flying saucers being piloted by a people returning to their sources. The article traces a lineage from the biblical Genesis, where women first gained knowledge, to a hypothetical ancient matriarchal society. It suggests that this feminine power, associated with goddesses like the 'Vierge Blanche' (White Virgin) and figures like Kali and Isis, was later suppressed by patriarchal forces. The text connects this to ancient civilizations like the Hyperboreans and mentions the 'Black Stone' in Mecca having a counterpart in ancient Mexico. The narrative suggests that after being exiled from a supposed 'Earthly Paradise,' humanity had to work for its sustenance, but 'Angels' later brought advanced knowledge.

La Science des Anges

This part of the magazine discusses the role of 'Angels' in cosmic evolution, describing them as 'genetic revalorizers' who interbred with human women, producing 'Heroes' and 'Giants.' These beings supposedly imparted 'celestial secrets' and divine truths to their human partners, which were then recorded in sacred texts. The article implies that these secrets included knowledge of science and possibly weapons. The era following the 'Angels' departure was marked by conflict, culminating in a deluge. The text then touches upon the concept of 'Abused Mothers,' suggesting that the giants were 'usurpers of the Earth' and that an extraterrestrial intervention occurred at a specific time.

It is proposed that a matriarchal society governed Earth ten thousand years ago, and the offspring of the union between 'Angels' and human women were genetically distinct mutants. The knowledge inherited from these 'fathers' was too advanced for the women to fully comprehend, and this supreme knowledge is said to be contained in the Kabbalah.

La Fuite des Amazones

This section focuses on the 'Amazons,' described as women who once held power and possessed superior science and flying machines. It suggests that these women, associated with the 'Serpent Vert' (Green Serpent) cult, fled Earth before a deluge, possibly to another planet. The article links the Amazons to ancient Andean chronicles, the Venusian visitor 'Oréjona,' and the Quetzalcoatl cult. It also references Eliphas Lévi's assertion that 'Giants were the usurpers of the Earth.' The text speculates that modern patriarchal religions might be supported by a spatial organization that promotes the worship of man and condemns the matriarchal principle.

Contacts et Enlevements

This part of the magazine details several UFO contact and abduction cases. It begins by referencing Charles Hoy Fort's work on alleged abductions occurring long before the advent of helicopters and airplanes, noting that males were typically the ones abducted. However, it highlights two exceptions involving women:

• Betty and Barney Hills: In September 1961, while driving in New Hampshire, they encountered a bright 'star' that turned out to be a large spacecraft. They were drawn into the craft and underwent a medical examination, possibly to assess the physical evolution of Earthlings 12,000 years after a cataclysm.
• An unnamed woman near Buenos Aires: In July 1968, she claimed to have been taken aboard a flying saucer and then released kilometers away.

Antonio Villas Boas

This case details the encounter of Antonio Villas Boas, a farmer in Brazil, on the night of October 15-16, 1957. He was working his field when a large aerial object landed. Four small beings in shiny suits and helmets emerged, took him aboard, and subjected him to an examination. He was then pushed into a room with a female being described as having large, blue, almond-shaped eyes, high cheekbones, and white hair. The article notes that Villas Boas was compelled to have sexual intercourse with this being, suggesting a possible mission of impregnation by an extraterrestrial species.

L'Ecriture des Meres dans le Ciel de Soccoro

This section recounts the famous Lonnie Zamora incident in Socorro, New Mexico, on April 24, 1964. Zamora, a police officer, witnessed a landed object emitting a humming sound. He saw two beings near the craft, dressed in white suits. The beings entered their craft, which then took off rapidly. Zamora managed to sketch a red symbol from the craft. The article analyzes this symbol, interpreting it as an ancient writing related to a matriarchal society and the 'Mothers of the Universal Temple.' It connects this symbol to the letter 'M' (representing mother), the temple structure, and the concept of the 'One Being' or Unknown God. The symbol is also linked to the owl, which is associated with Venus and the feminine principle, and is contrasted with the patriarchal Hebrew view that condemns the owl.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine consistently promotes a view that connects UFO phenomena with ancient history, esoteric knowledge, and a hidden struggle between patriarchal and matriarchal forces. There is a strong emphasis on interpreting ancient texts and symbols (Hebrew, Andean, Egyptian) to understand the origins of humanity and the nature of extraterrestrial visitors. The editorial stance appears to favor a re-evaluation of history, giving credence to ancient myths and alleged contactee experiences as evidence of ongoing extraterrestrial influence and a hidden cosmic agenda. The magazine suggests that a matriarchal society, possibly linked to extraterrestrial origins, was suppressed and that its influence may still be felt today, potentially in opposition to patriarchal religious and social structures. The issue frames UFOs not just as technological marvels but as carriers of ancient knowledge and participants in a long-standing cosmic drama.
