Magazine Overview

Title: VIMANA
Issue: N° 11
Date: Mars 70 (March 1970)
Publisher: C. E. R. E. I. C.

This issue of VIMANA magazine, published by C. E. R. E. I. C., focuses on ancient cosmogonic calendars, cataclysms, and astronomical knowledge, particularly from Mesoamerican civilizations.

Le Calendrier Cosmogoniq ue des Prêtres Mayas (The Cosmogonic Calendar of the Mayan Priests)

This section, authored by Guy TARADE, explores ancient beliefs about Earth's history and celestial movements. It begins by referencing archaeological findings in the Grimaldi caves, where human skeletons of different types were found in distinct geological strata, suggesting significant climatic variations. These variations are linked to changes in the angle of solar rays hitting the Earth's surface.

The article then introduces the work of Jean Barles, a former high-ranking official who presented a memoir to the Academy of Sciences proposing that the Earth has a second rotational movement around itself. Barles' research into prehistoric migrations led him to identify an unknown physical phenomenon: points on the globe occupying different positions relative to the Earth's axis over time. He calculated that these shifts caused surface points to receive solar rays either perpendicularly or obliquely, leading to climatic displacements in a northeast-southwest direction. The complex work of Jean Barles suggests that Earth's movement resembles that of a wobbly top, and posits that a massive bolide collision millennia ago caused Earth to experience cycles of ups and downs as it slowly recovered.

Un Satellite de la Terre S'est Ecrase en Argentine il y a 6.000 Ans (A Satellite of Earth Crashed in Argentina 6,000 Years Ago)

This segment details the discovery of nine craters in the Campo Del Ciclo region of Argentina, arranged in a line over 16 kilometers. A team of American and Argentine scientists, led by Dr. William A. Cassidy, concluded that these 'giant funnels' were created by a natural satellite of Earth that disintegrated in the atmosphere about 6,000 years ago. Carbon-14 dating of charcoal found in one crater established the age of these depressions at approximately 5,200 years. This event is suggested as a possible cause for the upheavals observed by archaeologists in the Grimaldi caves.

Changement de Climat en Migrations (Climate Change and Migrations)

Profound climatic changes are presented as the cause of large-scale human migrations and the collapse of established social organizations. The legacy of the Maya is cited as proof. The article mentions the Aztec belief that they were degenerate descendants of brilliant civilizations that preceded them, attributing the construction of pyramids to 'gods' rather than humans. The arts, architecture, and the invention of the cosmogonic calendar are linked to the ancient inhabitants of Tula, initiated by Quetzalcoatl, the 'Feathered Serpent'. The Aztecs, like the Hebrews, condensed their knowledge into sacred texts, notably the 'Popol Vuh' and the Cosmogonic Calendar, which is described as a synthesis of sacred texts.

L'Heritage Precolombien (The Pre-Columbian Heritage)

This section discusses the Mesoamerican belief in successive world cycles, each ending in cataclysms. This idea is central to the myth of the 'Four Suns' in the cosmogonic calendar and the 'Popol Vuh', the 'Bible of the Quiché Mayas'. Ethnologist Raphaël Girard is cited as stating that the Popol Vuh is the oldest document of humanity, predating the Rig Veda and Zend Avesta. Discovered in the early 18th century by Father Francis Ximenez, its symbolic language makes its full meaning esoteric. The Popol Vuh is unique in affirming that Earth has undergone multiple 'ends of the world'. The texts are considered valuable scientific documentation, placing them in the archives of our planet.

The Popol Vuh's accounts shed new light on human genesis, describing the first inhabitants of Earth as plant-like creatures with human capabilities, whose civilization was destroyed because it did not respect the divine order. A new race emerged from the earth, initiating horticulture, religion, and communal systems. This race was also exterminated, leading to a new sun and a new cycle. The current generation, having mistreated animals and misused domesticated beings, faces punishment, with monkeys in American forests believed to be the degeneration of this race.

Le Monde Antidiluvien (The Antediluvian World)

The sun that dominated the creation preceding the Flood was named 'Naui Atl' by the Pre-Columbian priests, meaning 'water'. The word 'ATL' is linked to the ocean that, according to Plato, covered the lost continent of ATLANTIS. The Aztec account of this cataclysm aligns with the Christian writings of Saint Peter, who described a world formed by water that perished by water, with the current heavens and earth reserved for judgment.

This aligns with Plato's account in the Critias, where the gods punished the wicked Atlanteans with earthquakes and cataclysms, causing the island to sink. The text draws a parallel between Plato's philosophy and Saint Peter's teachings, highlighting the recurring theme of massive upheavals occurring when humanity becomes corrupt and material forces dominate spiritual ones. This is presented as a fundamental law of universal geodynamics.

La Prochaine Apocalypse Vue Par Les Initiés Azteques (The Next Apocalypse as Seen by Aztec Initiates)

This section discusses the Aztec concept of 'Naui Ollin' (Our Sun), which signifies movement and earthquake. The Aztec calendar, particularly the 'Stone of the Sun' housed in the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, is described. The article details the 'Stone of the Sun' and smaller, ritualistic calendars made of gold or silver. These calendars synthesized cosmogonic knowledge and were used as talismans. The arrival of the conquistadors led to the concealment of these artifacts.

The 'Stone of the Sun' features the image of the sun god Tonatiuh and hieroglyphic symbols representing the four previous ages of the world: 'Sun of Water', 'Sun of Rain', 'Sun of Wind', and 'Sun of the Tiger'. These symbols are compared to Christian esoteric imagery. The calendar also includes a crown of 20 symbols, each representing a day of the pre-Columbian month, and four 'V' shapes indicating directions. The Aztec calendar consisted of 18 months of 20 days, plus 5 'inauspicious' days, which represented original chaos and occurred annually between December 17th and 21st, coinciding with the sun's lowest point in the sky.

The initiatory clergy used these instruments for four purposes: as a dynamic talisman for initiation, as an agrarian tool for precise calculation of agricultural activities, as an astronomical abacus, and as a divinatory mirror. The calendar was revered for its precision in determining planting and rainy seasons.

Devination et Cosmogonie (Divination and Cosmogony)

Mexicans, like other ancient peoples, were deeply concerned with the 'heavens' and sought to understand and evade cosmic threats. The Popol Vuh is presented as a testament to this, recounting multiple 'ends of the world'. Secret archives of ancient South American civilizations reportedly hold proof of numerous human organizations destroyed by cosmic cataclysms.

A dominant affirmation throughout the history of ancient peoples is 'Knowledge, that is to say Science = Danger'. Initiates often withheld knowledge from the common populace. The Maya, in particular, are described as having calculated time back 400 million years before their era, which began in 3331 BC. Tormented by cosmic anxiety, they discovered that certain celestial conjunctions were mortal to nature and humanity. Their complex astronomical calculations, involving vast numbers, provided solace. Their mathematical meditations were not in vain; modern astronomical calculations for the year (365.242198 days) are compared to the Maya's (365.242129 days), and their calculation of Venus's revolution (584 days) is contrasted with today's (383.91 days).

Un Culte Etrange (A Strange Cult)

Venus played a significant role in the religious life of Middle American peoples, divinized as 'Quetzalcoatl', the 'Feathered Serpent'. This is linked to the Theosophist idea that 'Lords of the Flame' from the Star of the Shepherd were initiators and guides of early humans. Alternatively, for the Aztecs, the brilliant 'Vesper' (Venus) might have represented the image of Paradise Lost.

Robert Charroux estimates that Venus entered our solar system less than 12,000 years ago, a hypothesis supported by archaeological data, such as a poem found in Ugarit (Syria) dedicated to the goddess ANAT, who is identified with Venus. A migration from Venus to Earth is not ruled out, considering the possibility of advanced civilizations using sophisticated flying craft akin to 'Flying Saucers'.

Anticipating a future cataclysm, this advanced civilization may have dispersed throughout the universe, including Earth. The Harris papyrus and Ipuwer papyrus describe a cosmic upheaval of water and fire that caused the South to become the North, indicating an inversion of the poles. The biblical flood is presented as a localized catastrophe, but the possibility of a past planetary explosion causing chaos in the universe is raised.

Venus, on its original orbit, may have caused Earth to tilt. Archaeologists have discovered a ceiling panel in the tomb of Semout, architect to Queen Hatshepsut, depicting the celestial sphere with zodiacal signs and constellations inaccurately oriented. The Orion-Sirius group is mentioned as occupying a specific position.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue of VIMANA are the cyclical nature of time, ancient cataclysms, the wisdom of pre-Columbian civilizations (particularly the Maya and Aztecs), and the potential influence of celestial bodies like Venus on Earth's history and mythology. The magazine adopts an investigative stance, exploring esoteric knowledge, ancient theories, and archaeological findings that challenge conventional historical and scientific narratives. There is a clear emphasis on the idea that ancient peoples possessed advanced knowledge, particularly in astronomy and cosmology, and that their understanding of cosmic cycles and potential dangers was profound. The editorial stance appears to favor the exploration of alternative historical and cosmological perspectives, often drawing parallels between ancient myths and modern scientific concepts or unexplained phenomena.

This issue of "Top Secret" (Issue 9) delves into the potential dangers associated with the year 1975, drawing connections between ancient astronomical observations, calendars, and prophecies. The content is primarily in French and focuses on esoteric interpretations of celestial events and historical cycles.

Astronomical Anomalies and Ancient Calendars

The issue begins by discussing an unusual depiction of the Orion constellation on a panel, which appears in the West instead of the East and seems to move in the wrong direction. The author suggests this reflects an ancient understanding of the sky, possibly from Egypt, before the celestial positions shifted. This ancient perspective is linked to the idea of a "new world ending" caused by the planet Venus, whose new orbit and presence would have significantly impacted astronomical and divinatory calendars.

The Mayan divinatory calendar is then examined. It is described as functioning on 15 cycles of 10 days, with 13 and 20 being significant numbers in their esoteric system, representing the sun and man, respectively. The text emphasizes the mystical view of humanity being intrinsically linked to the cosmos.

A specific aspect of the Mayan calendar is highlighted: the relationship between Venusian and Earth years. It is stated that 5 Venusian years are equivalent to 8 Earth years. The astronomical calendar also incorporated a system of 4 signs and 13 digits, resulting in 51 distinct groups. A period of years was considered dangerous, with priests fearing the sun might extinguish.

The Significance of 1975

The article posits that these ancient fears were not mere fiction but were based on an unknown celestial mechanical law, the secret of which has been lost. It draws a parallel to the Hebrew Kabbalists' practice of the jubilee, which involved periods of rest for the land. A calculation is presented: 50 years plus 2 years equals 52, suggesting a cyclical pattern.

The main focus then shifts to the question: "Will 1975 Be a Dangerous Year?" To find a significant date in pre-Columbian history, the text turns to archaeology. It references an ouvrage by Henry Garnett titled "L'Archéologie : Découverte du passé" published by R-S-T. Garnett's work is cited regarding excavations in the Temple of the Serpent of Tenayuc. An edifice built there to obtain the 'surois' from the gods at the end of the world, after a period of 52 years, was constructed in 1299 and subsequently elevated five times. By adding 13 centuries of 52 years to the base year of 1299, the calculation arrives at 1975 as a crucial date.

Prophecies and Cycles

The issue concludes by suggesting that past prophecies indicate we are currently at the end of a cycle. It implies that the Mayan priests might have been correct in their predictions, and the near future will confirm this. The text expresses certainty that the dreaded passage was not a fabrication but a tangible manifestation of celestial mechanics.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue include the interpretation of ancient calendars and astronomical observations, the cyclical nature of time, and the potential for catastrophic events linked to celestial phenomena. The editorial stance appears to be one that takes ancient prophecies and esoteric interpretations seriously, suggesting that hidden knowledge from the past holds keys to understanding future events, particularly concerning potential dangers in 1975.
