Secrets entrusted toa few THERE are some things that cannot be generally told — things you ought to know. Great truths are dangerous to some—but factors for personal power and accomplishment in the hands of those who understand them. Behind the tales of the miracles and mysteries of the ancients, lie centuries of their secret probing into nature’s laws— their amazing discoveries of the hid- den processes of man’s mind, and the mastery of life’s problems. Once shroud- ed in mystery to avoid their destruc- tion by mass fear and ignorance, these facts remain a useful heritage for the thousands of men and womenwho pri- vately use them in their homes today. THIS FREE BOOK The Rosicrucians (not a religious Gre Rosicrucians anoro organization) an age-old brotherhood of learning, have preserved this secret wisdom in their archives for centu- ries. They now invite you to share the practical helpfulness of their teachings. Write today for a free copy of the book, “The Mastery of Life.” Within its pages may lie a new life of oppor- tunity for you. Address: Scribe T.P.K.

I See by the Papers... QUOTE OF THE MONTH “Tt is my opinion life exists on Mars or Venus . . . For traveling there, nuclear power for rockets 1s promising. When we get it, we'll have space ships of 100 tons or more, about the size of Columbus’ Santa Maria. The kind of people who go off on space journeys will be like Byrd flying over the South Pole . . . like Perry going to the North Pole.” — Dr. Harold Urey Scientist and Nobel Prize Winner MUSIC FROM OUT THERE Ee TAKE time to comment on the scientific disagreements about life on other worlds. Such life exists. It doesn’t. We’re going to get there soon. We aren't. It’s discouraging to those of us who realize our ignorance to listen to men who ought to know disagree with one another. On the one hand, for instance, Dr. Harlow Shapley, Professor Em- eritus of Astronomy at Harvard, raises some very sharp questions about the idea that other intelli- gences in the universe are trying to communicate with us. This idea is behind some of our own nation’s radio astronomy work, for example. Dr. Shapley feels that while or- ganisms probably exist on planets out there they are too far away to make communication practicable. It could easily take 20 years to get the answer to one question, for ex- ample. Meanwhile, what has hap- pend to the man who asked the question? This sort of thinking is nonsense to Dr. R. N. Bracewell, a Stanford University professor and co-author of a leading text on radio astrono- my. Dr. Bracewell suggests that a communications satellite may al- ready have been dispatched by an- other civilization, may even now be in orbit around our sun. Dr. Brace- well says that this satellite may

8 have a recorded message for us to be broadcast when activated by the proper radio beams. Dr. Bracewell notes that in 1927, 1928 and 1934 strange radio “‘ech- oes” were heard that never have been adequately explained. He says that it is possible that these were transmitted by such a radio satel- lite. The echoes in question seemed to be reflections of radio pulses from Holland. Such a pulse travels at a speed that takes it around the earth in one-seventh of a second. But these “echoes” came back after three to 15 seconds. The delay must indicate that they were reflected from something in space. The Stanford scientist doubts that the National Radio Astrono- my Laboratory at Green Bank will get results from trying to contact . the three nearest stars thought cap- able of having habitable planets. He reasons that for a good chance of success there ought to be about 1,- Q00 star candidates, which encom- passes an area of 100 light years. Scanning such an area over genera- tions is much too big a job, he says. The most practical way to do it is by a satellite storing information, And that’s why he thinks such a satellite from out there already may be orbiting about our sun. oa) EVEN FARTHER “OUT THERE” 0 YOU WANT to know how far some of these scientists think FATE |. creatures on other planets may have evolved? Dr. Freeman J. Dyson, of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton, recently wrote in Science that it is reasonable to believe that intelligent beings in some areas would long since have expanded fo the uttermost levels of their avail- able living space. What would they do then? Well, . Dr. Dyson suggests that having reached the limits, they might set about “disassembling” a planet like Jupiter, for example. Then they might rearrange the matter into a shell completely enclosing their star —the source of energy. Such a shell, assembled at a distance of about 186 million miles from a star like our sun, would completely enclose it and be only two or three yards thick. Dr. Dyson has now proposed that. astronomers try to detect such hid- den stars by infrared radiation. CoO ON THE OTHER HAND... BS top astronomer, Dr. | Richard Van Der Riet Wooley, the Astronomer Royal, recently at- tacked talk of interplanetary travel. “Tt’s utter bilge,” he says. “The whole exercise of a genuine landing on a planet and a safe re- turn is so difficult and expensive that the value of the thing should be seen in some proportion,” he de- clared,

FATE Another difficulty, of course, is the hazardous radiation of the Van Allen belts, which circle the earth and would peril any space traveler. The radiation belts of other plan- ets may be even more dangerous. Two Caltech scientists recently es- timated that Jupiter has a radia- tion belt about 100 trillion times that expected from the Earth’s belt. That would be mighty hot for a space man. io a) SOME SECOND THOUGHTS T IS rroNIc that man _ should dream of conquering space when his information is still so fragmen- tary. For example, Dr. Paul W. Hodge, of Harvard College Observatory, suggests that our measurements of the universe may be wrong because we have been using a faulty “yard- stick.” E. E. Salpeter, of Cornell Uni- versity, reports that a type of star called a “neutron star” would be so dense that a particle of it the size of a dust grain would weigh more than the biggest ship. And, in contrast, our own sun ap- pears to be truly dense only in its center —a relatively small core. The rest of it must be pretty thin and gassy. The National Academy of Sciences has reported that a pile of men weighing as much as our sun would be 5,000 times hotter. The sun is hot only because it’s so big.

I SEE BY THE PAPERS Well, make what you wish out of all this. We prefer to forget it. oO CLOSER HOME c PUZZLES us—and we hope it puzzles you too—that some men are sure about what’s going on in Space and on Mars but are mighty doubtful about things hap- pening every day on Earth. In Portage, Pa., near Johnstown, last July 3, Mrs. Dixie Lewis, 22, was hanging up clothes in the back yard of her mother’s home, at 608 Makin Street, when she heard a loud swooshing sound. She looked up, saw something slamming down from the skies, and barely jumped aside in time to be missed. It was, of course, a chunk of ice. It hit with a thud, made a deep in- dentation, and broke into pieces scattered over a 40-yard area. Two small boys playing in the back yard miraculously escaped being hit by the shattering pieces, which appear- ed to break along sheer lines into flat platelets. Police Chief Victor Fukas said the original chunk of ice must have weighed about 25 pounds. He said it was light green, smelled like soap. Henry Rockwood, chief of the U. S. Weather Bureau at Pitts- burgh, said: “The only logical con- clusion is that the ice came from iced wings on an airplane.” He didn’t explain why that would smell of soap! il STUDY OCCULT SCIENCES AT HOME! @ READ HOROSCOPES The most complete course ever written.

12 NIGHT MUSIC | ee C. C. CRAVATH is a veteran jurist of the Laguna Beach- San Clemente Judicial District of California, He lives in Laguna Beach. Last June Judge Cravath faced a mystery which had not been solv- ed at press time. Late at night, the Cravath’s pi- ano would play —after the judge and his wife had retired for the night, It had happened on two suc- cessive nights when the judge re- vealed the strange case. The piano hadn’t been used for years. But in the stillness of the night, notes were being struck on it. They were strong notes. We weren’t able to make out whether the piano actually played a tune but it was playing something. loo) A CRY FOR HELP RS. EMMETT G. North was home alone in Aina Haina, Hilo, when the tidal wave warnings sounded in the Hawaiian Islands on Wednesday, May 25. Her home was in the threatened area. But Mrs. North was unable to save herself — by the usual means. For she is crippled. She is unable to go downstairs. She is unable to get to her feet if she should fall. After she heard the radioed warn- ing, Mrs. North called her hus- band’s office. He was out of town on business. Richard Webb, an of- FATE fice worker, called police, tried to get an emergency announcement on the radio. Finally he talked to Civil Defense. No use! Webb was told that no help could be dispatched to Aina Haina. He called Mrs. North fre- quently to reassure her. But, although Mrs. North’s body is crippled, her mind is not. A visitor to the Islands from Idaho, Thomas Powers, 70, drove past the North home looking for friends. He did not even know there was a tidal wave alert in the Ha- waiian Islands. But after he was past, some sense told Powers that help was needed. He turned his car around and returned to the North home. He assisted Mrs. North into his automobile and drove her to safe ground. How could Powers have known help was needed? He could not even have heard Mrs. North’s calls for help if she had called — which she didn’t. That is one reason Pow- ers had not heard the radio alert. He is deaf. CO OUT OF THIS WORLD je TIME to time we publish stories of mysterious disap- pearances. Often the men and wo- men who disappear are found, some- times alive and sometimes dead. Of- ten they are never seen again. The latter is true, for instance,

N. Fowler & Co. 1 Tudor St., London EC 4, England eye SEND FOR FREE CATALOG FATE of three Alabama men who vanished without a clue after a Saturday night drinking party more than four years ago. Mysterious “tips” still are frequently received in Ala- bama about the whereabouts of Billy and Robert Dye and Dan Brasher. Recently Alabama authori- ties ruined a 50-foot section of new highway. They had been assur- ed the men’s bodies would be found beneath it. There’s no mystery about such disappearances to Samuel Shenton, a 56-year-old sign writer of Eng- land. Mr. Shenton is secretary of the International Flat Earth So- ciety. Mr. Shenton decided in 1920 that accepted doctrines about the universe are false. The earth is flat, like a plate, he says. “When you travel around the world back to the point where you started, it is just like walking around the edge of the plate. Beyond the edge is a vast ice barrier —from beyond no man has ever returned.” Shenton believes the sun is only 32 miles across. It is a flat lumin- ous disc. So is the moon. The world never moves, he says. Night and day are controlled by the sun’s move- ments. The earth, of course, has a roof over it, but it’s too high up to keep the rain off. Now, according to Mr. Shenton, many of these missing people just walk right off the edge of the world.

I SEE BY THE PAPERS Beyond the solid ice barrier, he be- lieves, may be the thousands of missing people who will never turn up. oo) A THEOLOGY OF HEALING HERE IS AN increasing interest in religious and spiritual heal- ing among the estabished churches. There are many reasons for this; we suspect an important one is that psychology and _ psychiatry have proved through the studies of psychosomatic medicine that the mind clearly influences bodily ills. The influence of such groups as the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship is sn) increasing. There is, at least in the Western countries, a trend away from materialism and toward a more balanced outlook of what a man really is — he is more than 98c worth of chemicals. 3 Recently the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A., after four years of work, has suggested a “theology of healing” built around certain basic convictions: 1. “All healing is of God, wheth- er it occurs through what we call natural law or according to laws which we do not yet know.” 2 Medical science, which utilizes the understood principles of God’s PROPHETIC VERSES OF ANCIENT SEER OPEN THE DOOR OF THE FUTURE! Now, In one volume...

16 natural law to facilitate healing, is a providential blessing and no Christian should scorn it nor con- ' sider it as an inferior substitute for reliance on faith. 3. Christians should pray for the recovery of the sick, and they may properly ask health not only for others but for themselves. 4. Prayer is efficacious for heal- ing. 5. But “healing does not always come to those who pray for it,” however ardent their faith. “God is to be worshipped, not used,” and ‘it is a presumptuous notion that human faith can, as it were, work miracles constantly.” In other words, God’s answer is sometimes no. ioe) PROGRESS IN HEALING CIENCE, meanwhile, continues to progress, slowly but surely, to- ward understanding of what the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., calls “God’s natural law.” Dr. Eugene S. Turrell of Milwau- kee recently told the American Medical Association that there is a link between the patient’s mental and emotional state and death dur- ing surgery. Anxiety may rob the body of energy needed to defend against disease, Dr. Turrell says. Depression and anxiety after an operation slow the healing process. Therefore, Dr. Turrell recommends that surgeons sometimes should de- FATE lay an operation until the patient’s feelings improve. One of the most prevalent mental diseases is schizophrenia. Psychia- trists have been unable to agree that there is a physical basis for this disease. But now Dr. Charles E. Frohman and his associates at the Lafayette Clinic of Detroit be- lieve they may have discovered a clue to physical causes of schizo- phrenia. They have found in the blood serum of its victims a substance that appears to interfere with the conversion of starches and sugars in foods into energy. Schizophrenics, it is noted, are often extremely le- thargic. Work is proceeding . . io a) ABOUT SOME LITTLE BEASTIES Wo THINGS get slow (as if they ever did) we can al- ways turn to the Loch Ness mon- ster or the Abominable Snowman or some other curious and unknown creatures, because the papers are always full of them. A friend recently sent us a clip- ping from a year-old copy of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, de- scribing the unusual experiences of Beppo the circus clown in search of the Loch Ness monster. Beppo is a 31-year-old Englishman named John Newbold. He is an experi- enced skindiver. Beppo was down under Loch Ness water for 10 min- utes one day last year and came

He was given artificial res- piration and taken to a hospital in Inverness, Meanwhile, last June a movie, supposedly of the Loch Ness mon- ster, was shown on British TV. The shot lasted 40 seconds, showed a blurred object which at first was stationary and then moved away lazily, swerving to right and left. Finally the object gained speed and moved down the loch at around 10 m.p.h., throwing a white foaming wake. The movie was taken by Timothy Dinsdale, an aeronautical engineer. He is positive that he FATE photographed the genuine monster after he had spent six days of watching. Describing “Nessie” in some de- tail, Dinsdale claims he took the photographs at 9 A.M. April 23. First he saw a reddish-brown hump nearly a mile away across the loch. The “hump” had a blotch on its left flank. There was no fin, but a pronounced ridge ran along the back. In motion it threw a “pulsat- ing” wake and looked just like the conning tower of a submarine, Dins- dale says. The creature came with- in 400 yards of him and he estimat- ed its neck was six feet and its body he judged to be at least 30 feet long.

I SEE BY THE PAPERS ANOTHER SEA SERPENT Bi ee: BRITISH are taking very seri- ously the sighting of an un- known sea creature a year ago by Tex Geddes, an experienced mari- ner, and James Gavin, an engineer- ing inspector. The two men were fishing near shore when they spot- ted the creature, and watched it from a point two miles away until it came withn 20 yards of their dinghy. Geddes describes the head as rep- tilian, somewhat resembling a tur- tle’s head. The mouth appeared to have distinct lips. The animal’s back rose sharply to a kind of saw- toothed ridge. He estimated the back was eight to 10 feet long at the water line. It séemed to have 19 a long neck and dived gracefully. No teeth were visible. The mouth was described as “cavernous” and red. It may have had something re- sembling a flipper. The back was four or five feet wide at the water line, but rose to a knife-like edge at the top. The creature breathed very noticeably — which means it could not have been a fish. Gavin described the sound of its breath- ing as a “loud, roaring, whistling noise.” The creature was in view for over an hour. It made no at- tempt to molest the pair and they didn’t bother it either. oO OKLAHOMA SHARK AND OTHERS COs icthyologists — both amateur and professional — ANNOUNCING: the THIRD, ENLARGED EDITION of Sydney Omarr’s THOUGHT DIAL (NOW YOU CAN DIAL YOUR THOUGHTS!)

20a had a mystery on their hands last June. In a drainage ditch less than a mile from the business section of Oklahoma City, and hundreds of miles from the nearest salt water, someone found a dead 21-inch ham- merhead shark. Maybe it was a prankster. Maybe not. * * * Maybe this is a mystery too but Prof. Joseph Hickey, of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin wildlife man- agement department, reports that birds are flying farther north than they used to. Several Southern species are now pushing into the northern states and going ever far- ther north. These include the blue wing warbler, tufted titmouse, car- dinal, mockingbird and turkey vul- ture. * * * Is the ferocious piranha fish on its way out? It is if the Brazilian Government has anything to say about it. Fishing Service techni- cians believe they have found a way to poison the piranha without hurt- ing other types of fish. These blood-thirsty little fish are so vicious that ranchers wishing to drive their herds across a ford must sacrifice at least one steer by lead- ing it downstream from the cross- ing, letting some blood and driving it into the water as a victim for the killers. Only then can the rest of the herd cross in safety. Some thousands of square miles FATE of Brazil have rivers infested with piranhas and now Brazil is going to purge its rivers with the powder- ed roots of a jungle shrub called timbo which appears to kill piranha but is harmless to other fish. * * * For years white men of New Guinea .have regarded the native’s tales of a so-called dragon lizard as pure mythology. But a couple of months ago two Administration of- ficers in Port Moresby turned up with the skin and lower jaw of a giant lizard which they found in a village only 70 miles away. The creature appeared to be at least eight feet in length and to have teeth nearly an inch long. Australi- an scientists believe the lizard may be related to the Komodo dragon, which is capable of killing men and pigs. lo a) CHASING NOAH'S ARK N OUR BUSINESS we must report many futile searches. Some are worthwhile, we believe, because one never knows what lies at the end of the rainbow. But some are wild goose chases and one of these later is the peri- odic search for the original Noah’s Ark. Even if we all should grant that there was a flood in the old-fashion- ed sense and Noah’s Ark did indeed land on Mt. Ararat, by what mirac- ulous power of wood preservation

22 could it still be in existence? Yet expedition after expedition goes off bravely to Turkey and la- ter returns empty-handed and dis- couraged. The latest of these showed up in Ankara, June 9. The expedition had been prompted by an aerial photo- graph that showed a boat-like ob- ject (what did Noah’s Ark look like, anyway?). George Vandeman, in charge of the team, reported that all they found was a boat-shaped natural formation, apparently caus- ed by a landslide. Those of you who are itching to make a world-shaking archeological discovery, please stay away from Mt. Ararat and forget Noah’s Ark. CO THE GRAVITY OF GRAVITY I THE FORCE of gravity getting weaker? Scientists have been speculating about this for the past 20 years. If it does, we’re in trouble. There may be some advantages to a weak- er gravitation system, of course — such as making space flight easier — but if gravity gets less we’re in for it. No one can predict everything that would happen under such cir- cumstance. But here are some for instances... If gravity weakens, the earth’s circumference will grow slightly larger each year. The outer shell FATE of the planet will crack. Present cracks will grow wider. We’ve al- ready got enough cracks! The Na- tional Geographic Society says there is one single fracture, 45,000 miles long, that encircles the globe and then some. The reason the moon has only traces of atmosphere and Mars has very little is primarily because neither of these heavenly bodies has enough gravity to hold the at- mosphere. The speed of the elec- trons around the atomic nuclei of gases is so high that they go spin- ning off into space. Is a world a world without any air? _ CO BURNING ROCK STES JOHNSON, 48, of 4310 W. 154th St., Los Angeles, was digging in an excavation for the Golden State Freeway through Bur- bank one day last June. His shovel struck a milky white, glassy rock. “Tt was warm to the touch and seemed to radiate its own heat,” Johnson said. He tossed the rock in- to his pickup truck and drove it home. When he got there, the paint in the truckbed where the rock had lain was eaten away “right down to the bare metal” he told a reporter for the Los Angeles Examiner. He didn’t want to touch the rock again so he wrapped it in his yel- low shirt—-which immediately

FEAR OF DEATH REMOVED BY EVIDENCE FROM THE WORLD BEYOND! English scholars in London, Oxford and Cambridge have been thrilled by a new book, “LIFE IN THE WORLD UNSEEN” This two-volume work reveals the experiences “after death” of Robert Hugh Benson, a widely- respected clergyman whose father, Edward White Benson, was Archbishop of Canter- bury. Robert Hugh Benson communicated through Anthony Borgia, who acted as his scribe. His great desire was to “correct the wrong impression that exists of the life to come, and to try to remove from people’s minds the fear of death.” LIFE IN THE WORLD UNSEEN is one of the most complete accounts of the after-life ever to come back to us. It gives evidence of an after-life that differs in many important and unexpect- ed ways from what we have always imagined. Special limited edition printed specifically for us in London—the very same un- abridged two-volume boxed set—without a single word deleted—that caused so much excitement when published in Eng- land.

By this time Johnston was beginning to worry. He noticed that there was a burning sensation in his fingers. The skin began to peel from the palms of his hands. He called Lennox Sheriff’s sta- tion and asked them to cart the thing away. A Geiger counter show- ed the Sheriff’s men that the rock was not radioactive. What else it was they didn’t know. We’re waiting for a further report. oO SOLUTIONS, SOLUTIONS E DISCUSS this little item with a kind of breathless amusement. Ronald H. Robey of the General Dynamics Corp., San Diego, recently told the American Meteorological Society his theory of green fireballs and green sky glow. Do you know what Mr. Robey suggests? He suggests that there are chunks of cosmic ice scattered through space, perhaps from an exploded comet, and these “ice meteorites”, if we may call them that, give out the green glow when they enter the earth’s atmosphere because they contain frozen nitrogen compounds. Mr. Robey made a laboratory test of similar compounds under deep freeze conditions and found

Page 25

I SEE BY THE PAPERS they give out the same kind of bizarre light. The thing we find so interesting about Mr. Robey’s theories are (1) they admit the existence of “green fireballs” and (2) they ad- mit the existence of cosmic ice. There’s been all kinds of ice fall- ing all around us for years and Mr. Robey is just about the first scien- tist we’ve heard admit it. One point about the green fire- balls, though. Even if Mr. Robey’s theory about their color is correct we still haven’t read an acceptable explanation of their behavior. The man who has investigated them most, Dr. Lincoln La Paz, really doesn’t know. And as for the color, he’s found traces of copper in the air after such sightings. This would also explain the green color. io 2) PRETTY SMALL A younc German physicist, Dr. Rudolph L. Mossbauer, 31, who is now at Caltech, has sudden- ly found himself famous. He has invented a technique for measurements far more sensitive than anything previously achieved —on the order of one part in one hundred million million. The system is called, not sur- prisingly, the “Mossbauer effect.” It is based on the constancy of the gamma rays emitted by the excited nuclei of certain crystals, — Curtis Fuller Electropsychometry “What it is all about” TAPE LECTURE by VOLNEY G.

THREE SECRETS for your adventure in faith By Marcus Back Dr. Marcus Bach is a famed theologian, a bril- liant lecturer and the author of eight pop- ular books. He recently resigned as profes- sor in the School of Religion at the State University of lowa to devote full time to his studies of the basic materials of religion, which take him to all corners of the world. Those who seem favored by chance have found a source of unlimited power—here is how you too can tap it HERE ARE three secrets to successful living; actually they are three in one. And though you may sometimes feel you must travel far and wide to find techniques to live by, chances are these tech- niques are waiting for you in your own back yard — especially if you have the wish and the will to en- gage in the adventure of the se- cret place, the secret concept, and 2 also engage in the secret experiment. Others have done it. So can you. ZEN BUDDHIST in the tem- ple of Sojiji, Japan, gave me a helpful hint for strength and tranquility. He had shown me the meditation room where he and his fellow monks sit on a dais in ab- solute immobility for an hour every morning and where they are disci-

Page 28

28 plined to the blink of an eyelid. His own poise and inner power were so remarkable that I was happy when he told me his secret. He said, “I never leave my place of meditation.” His meaning was clear. Every moment of the day, no matter where his work or duties took him, he kept within himself a vision of himself seated in meditation. That was his mooring. As he went about his many tasks, wherever he might be, he visualized himself there on the dais where he had found har- mony with his true nature, his deepest self, and where he was guided by an understanding of truth. Anyone who has ever gone on spiritual retreats or who has his morning meditation has a good idea of what the monk was driving at. He had learned the secret of the secret place. People in many religions in vari- ous parts of the world have made it a major ingredient in their ad- venture in faith. So can we. When the world gets too big and rough, when we feel we would like to re- sign from the human race, when things get in a tangle and life gets full of knots, we can meet these situations with absolute calm and control if we have a point of spir- itual polarization—a place and a period in which we have found our true self. The more intense our FATE lives, the more we need this mys- tic mooring. The greater the quest, the more we need the “tied to” place. And then we need to learn the art of never leaving it. For you can put it down as a provable fact that those whom Fate seems to favor, have a secret: the secret of the secret place. It can be an actual place like a room or an office, a chapel or a grove, but it develops rather quick- ly into a state of consciousness. It is a vibration to which you attune yourself as you see yourself spir- itually localized in the meditation room. Life’s tensions come along and you distill them with the knowledge that, like the Zen, you are here, but you are also there. Every disharmony becomes a test for evidence that you can karmon- ize. Every crisis is an opportunity for an adventure in faith. In these moments you are called upon to make practical the mystical mood, when the nature of experience re- flects the nature of reality. Emerson once said, “Man is a god in ruins.” But the ruins are never so great but that we cannot find our true self if we have a secret place in which it was once revealed to us. We are never so mutilated but that the vision of our godlikeness can heal us. We are never so lost, but that we can find the way, especially if at some time of the day, at some

S=Ghrist:”’ hour in our busy careers, at some point in our fast-tempoed lives we have recognized the divine nature which: is our real Self. The best focal point for this rec- ognition, as far as Christians are concerned, is the ‘indwelling The localization of His consciousness, in those who believe, makes this the secret strength in the secret place. For there is within each of us the same limitless cre- ative power which was demonstrated in the man Jesus. So when the Zen, who meditated upon the “Buddha- - mind,” asked me how the Chris- tian meditated upon the “Christ- mind,” he already recognized the oneness in the Divine Self. “Who were you, Jesus?” he mused. And I said to him, “He was God come down. Not a God who can be formed into an image or set upon. a wall, who longs for routine prayers or liturgies rehearsed and dramatized. But a God who loves and hopes and weeps with men be- cause He lives as one among them. Who were you, Jesus? You were the I that I would be, the Son of God whose sonship I clearly feel and know when I am truly with you. You were the expression of the best in man, the best that man in his upward climb has been able to perceive and in whose percep- tion I perceive myself. Who were you, Jesus? You were the Spirit of God incarnate. Not something to - ‘THREE SECRETS FOR YOUR ADVENTURE IN FAITH _29 explore or to explain or even to examine, but a spirit to experience by the indwelling light which is mine and everyman’s. You were a power and a presence, known’ and to be known, whose secret source is ever waiting in the secret place. iB THE FIRST secret was sug- gested to me by a Zen, the sec- ond was sparked by a Hindu busi- nessman with whom I was riding in a taxiin old Delhi one day. We were in Chandni Chowk, which means the “Street of Moonlight,” and as we honked our way through the torrent of pedestrians, holy cows, rickshaws, and vegetable ven- dors, we passed a group of outcasts huddling in the shadowy corner of a bric-a-brac building. There they sat in their rags and tatters, fan- ning away the disease-bearing flies. After some reflection my well- dressed Hindu companion said quietly, “Once I sat there as many are still sitting today.” I looked at him again, realizing that the distance between the out- castes and his station in life rep- resented 1000 years. I asked him what had changed him. What work- ed the miracle? What triggered him to action while others still sat dejected on the timeless stones? All he could say was that one day a thought came through to him that said, “This life is the best life you will ever have in this lifetime, rise

Page 30

30 up and make the most of it.” I wanted him to tell me more, but he would say only, “I got to thinking and in thinking I came to myself.” I never passed through the “Street of Moonlight” after that without thinking about this miracu- lous transformation of an out- caste. He taught me the secret of the secret concept. It is this: life is not a series of fragmentary, dis- related events, but one inter-relat- ed, interwoven experience of con- tinuity and purpose and the reai- ization of this truth awakens with- in us a slumbering potential. Most of us make the mistake of looking upon events in life as iso- lated breaks, good and bad. We think that every tragedy stands alone as a unit, that every truimph is a mountain peak above the norm of life. The secret of the secret concept assures us that nothing is accidental. Chance is God at work. A hunch is the whisper of the Di- vine. What we call destiny is cosmic purpose. Coincidence is Karmic law. We make our lives by this realization. We break them when we disregard this immutable law. Life .resolves itself into a point of view. When the thought broke through, the outcaste could have said, “It is not for me. I’m sup- posed to sit here on these stones for the rest of my life. This is my Fate. Something T did in a previous FATE life has put me here.” Instead he said, “Something I did in a previ- ous life commands me to rise! This, too, is my Fate!” The secret of the secret concept says that all things are inter-re- Jated for good because the essence of God is goodness. An analyst of the work of the mystic Jacob Boehme put it this way, “Human apprehension is ad- mittedly limited. The nature of this limitation is that what in God’s comprehenson is ONE is, to human apprehension, TWO. ‘The dark- ness and the light are both alike to Thee, O God,’ but to man it is given to think of two conditions, two circumstances. Thus the actual ONE thing becomes for men TWO things as darkness and light, weak- ness and strength, truth and false- hood. In all men, sight tends to be a surface sight alone and not only that, man does not see all even of what is on the surface. He never sees all of the surface of the ocean, much less the depths.” If you can realize yourself as being a greater person than you are, rest assured that your “kar- ma” is trying to get through to you with the command, “Rise up!” If you ever have even the most fleeting vision of yourself as a bet- ter individual than you are, count it as proof that the better YOU is lurking just beneath the surface. Your Fate is always your highest

THREE SECRETS FOR YOUR ADVENTURE IN FAITH gir good. Anything less is perverted thinking. Imagine what would happen to you if you lived with the secret of the secret concept and really believed that all things are inter- related for good. You could not be frustrated. You could not be neu- rotic. You could never be less than your best. The distance, as I have said, between an outcaste sitting on the ancient stones of Chandni Chowk and a successful business- man in a taxi is 1000 years; it is also a mere instant of self-realiza- tion! [ THE FIRST secret was suggested to me by a Zen, and the second by a Hindu, the third was imparted to me by a Christian, though he is certainly something of an eclectic. He has been called a genius, a phe- nomenon, the man with the Midas touch. More than 10,000 chiroprac- tors reflect his life and teachings. Under his leadership the Central Broadcasting Company grew to be the largest in the Midwest. He be- came president of Stereocolor. He has written more than 20 books. He builds oriental gardens, man- ages more than a dozen enterprises, and has created the largest non- medical school in the world. To all who know him, he is “B. J.” You do not compliment him by calling him Dr. Palmer or Colonel Palmer, even though the titles are well- deserved. And if you say to him, “B. J., how have you been able to accomplish so much in one life- time? How do you do it?” His answer will be, “I don’t. Innate does it all.” And what is Innate? Innate is the secret of every great man’s se- cret experiment: God actively at work in the individual, Or, had we better say, the individual ac- tively at work in God? A man does not “force God” or “entreat God” or even “seek God.” A man simply becomes aware in body, soul, and mind that the limitless power of God is operating in him wholly and completely. Innate is the power of God coming in on man’s right of way. It is divine Intelligence flood- ing the clear channel between God and man. The truth is, success is more a matter of intake than of outreach. Most people are desperately trying to “make good” or “be successtul” or “beat the other fellow.” The prophets preached a different kind of gospel. Jesus, more than any other, put it on the line when he gave us the tip about seeking first the Kindgom of God. His teach- ing was so simple; we insist on making it complex and losing it in the shuffle of life. But every once-in-awhile someone comes along and takes it out of the realm of the- ology and platitudes and translates it into a workable formula.

Page 32

32 “Innate,” B. J. says, “means tak- ing the words of Jesus at face val- ue and really making God an as- sociate in the life of business and the business of life. Jesus healed. Others can heal who work in ac- cordance with God’s law. Jesus took the small things of life and made them large. He took the large things and made them larger. He needed people who, although close to their illusions, could so train themselves that they could take away those illusions and get His vision of service.” Such is the secret of the secret experiment. It means that we take the major aspirations or problems of hfe into the laboratory of the spirit- FATE ual adventure. We may find them part of the psychosis of larger prob- lems or of dreams beyond dreams, but whatever they are, we are going to open the flood gates of our lives to the interpenetration of the Di- vine. When Innate is in contact you are successfully in tune with the Infinite. E HAVE mentioned three se- crets; we have mentioned three religions; they are all rooted in the common ground of faith. These secrets, together with the faith from which they are insepar- able, are your keys to a great ad- venture in living —with them evy- erything is possible. CAT FEAR CAN BE FATAL NXIETY and despair can kill, according to Dr. Jer- ome D. Frank, professor of psy- chiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In a recent talk before an audience of priests, physicians and teachers at Johns Hopkins Hospital, he stated that illness may be a vicious circle, creat~ ing emotions which intensify it, Dr. Frank expressed the be- lief that in both medical and religious approaches to illness the patient must be shaken out of his apathy by emotional ex- citement. The patient, he said, cannot be cured by mere in- tellectual understanding of his problems. Stressing the importance of faith in both medical and re- ligious attempts to cure sickness, Dr. Frank related a case in which a faith healer was asked to pray for three afflicted wom- en without their knowledge. The healer’s efforts were with- out result until the women were told that he was praying for them at a certain hour. The next day each of the three women showed a distinct im- provement. es

Aunt Caroline’s Tryst With Death By P9934 Widsdne Gregson This author was privileged to witness the happy ending to a lifetime of waiting, for death brought back Aunt Caroline’s Confederate bridegroom. WHEN I WAS to years old I went onavisit to a big cot- ton plantation in Helena, Ark., to spend a month with Great Aunt Caroline. I recall clearly how de- pressing I found the atmosphere of the once gorgeous mansion; how silent I found the rooms which a generation ago had rung with the 33 laughter of beautifully gowned peo- ple on my aunt’s wedding night. As I wandered through the lonely house I thought many times of the story I had heard of the way they had danced there in the big front hall under the glittering chandeliers, had toasted the bride and groom, and had listened to the strains of

AF x a ad TGS ee a FLYING SAUCERS re A a ee SS eee AS By Major Donald Ce Keyhoe AJ. DONALD E. KEY HOE’S latest book, Flying Saucers, Top Secret, states that the United States Air Force conceals and cen- sors news of UFO’s or “flying saucers” but in reality believes them to be space ships. While it is difficult to under- stand the reasons for such a cover- up if it exists (Keyhoe believes it A noted investigator claims the U.S. Air Force is suppressing UFO reports—and cites as evidence a@ series of amazing cases. is because the Air Force fears a general panic if the truth becomes known), the author presents per- suasive evidence that this is true. The following four cases are from Major Keyhoe’s new book. CASE NO. 1 “VILLAGE IN THE OCEAN” T HAPPENED in 1956. Cruising at 19,000 feet, a Navy R7V-2 transport —a four-engine’ Super-Constellation —was flying west across the Atlantic Ocean. The next stop was Gander, New- foundland. Final destination, Naval Air Station, Patuxent, Md. The night was clear, visibility unlimited. In the senior pilot’s seat, Comdr. Copyright 1960 by Donald E. Keyhoe.

George Benton was checking the dim-lit instruments. (Since the commander and most of his crew are still on active duty, names have been changed.) At 34, Benton had a decade of Navy flying behind him. He had made the Atlantic crossing more than 200 times. Back in the cabin were two extra Navy air crews, en route home from foreign duty. Most of these men were asleep. As Commander Benton finished his cockpit check, he glanced out at the stars. Then he leaned for- ward, puzzled. A few minutes be- fore, the sea below had been dark. Now there was a cluster of lights, like a village, about 25 miles ahead. Benton looked over at his co- pilot, Lieut. Peter J. Mooney. “What do you make of those lights?” Mooney peered down, startled. “Looks like a small town!” “That’s what I thought.” Ben- ton quickly called the navigator, Lieut. Alfred C. Erdman. “We must be way off course. There’s land down there.” “Tt can’t be land.” Erdman hur- ried forward from his map table. “That last star sight shows —” He broke off, staring down at the clustered lights. “Well?” said Benton. “They must be ships,” said Erd- man. “Maybe a rendezvous for some special operation.” “They don’t look like ships,” said Benton. He called Radioman John Wiggins. No word of any unusual ship movements, Wiggins reported. And no signals from the location of the lights. If they were ships, they were keeping radio silence. “Wake up those other crews,” (in all there were nearly 30 men aboard), Benton told Erdman. “Maybe somebody can dope it out.” In a few moments, two or three airmen crowded into the cockpit. Benton cut off the automatic pilot, banked to give them and the men in the cabin a better view.. As the transport began to circle, the strange lights abruptly dimmed. Then several colored rings appeared. began to spread out. One, Benton ‘noticed, seemed to be growing in size. Behind him, someone gave an exclamation. Benton took another look. That luminous ring wasn’t on the surface —it was something rushing up toward the transport. “What the devil is it?” said Mooney. “Don’t know,” muttered Benton. He rolled the Constellation out of its turn to start a full-power climb. Then he saw it was useless. The luminous ring could catch them in seconds. The glow, he now saw, came from the rim of some large, round object. It reached their alti- tude, swiftly took shape as a giant disc-shaped machine. 37

Page 36

38 Dwarting the Constellation, it raced in toward them, “Tt’s going to hit us!” said Erd- man. Benton had known normal fear, but this was nightmare. Numbed, he waited for the crash. Suddenly the giant disc tilted. Its speed sharply reduced, it angled on past the port wing. The commander let out his breath. He looked at Mooney’s white face, saw the others’ stunned expressions. Watching out the port window, he cautiously started to bank. He stopped as he saw the disc. It had swung around, was draw- ing abreast, pacing them at about 100 yards. For a moment he had a clear glimpse of the monster. Its sheer bulk was amazing; its diameter was three to four times the Constellation’s wing span. At least 30 feet thick at the center, it was like a gigantic dish inverted on top of another. Seen at this dis- tance, the glow along the rim was blurred and uneven. Whether it was an electrical effect, a series of jet exhausts or light from open- ings in the rim, Benton could not tell. But the glow was bright enough to show the disc’s curving surface, giving a hint of dully re- flecting metal. Though Benton saw no signs of life, he had a feeling they were being observed. Fighting an impulse FATE to dive away, he held to a straight course. Gradually, the strange ma- chine pulled ahead. Tilting its massive shape upward, it quickly accelerated and was lost against the stars. Commander Benton reached for his microphone, called Gander Air- port and identified himself. “You show any other traffic out here?” he asked the tower. “We had somthing on the scope near you,” Gander told him. “But he wouldn’t give an answer.” “We saw it,” Benton said grimly. “It was no aircraft.” He gave the tower a concise re- port, and back at Gander teletype messages were rushed to the U.S. Air Defense Command, the Com- manding Officer, Eastern Sea Frontier, the Director of Air In- telligence and the Air Technical Intelligence Center. When the Constellation landed at Gander, Air Force Intelligence of- ficers met the transport. From the start it was plain they accepted the giant-disc sighting as a fact. For two hours, Benton and the rest were carefully interrogated, sepa- rately and together: How close did the object come? What was its size .. . estimated rate of climb any electrical interference noted . . . what happened to the luminous rings? From the answers to scores of questions, the majority opinion

Page 37

FLYING SAUCERS — TOP SECRET. 39 emerged. The flying disc was be- tween 350 and 400 feet in di- ameter, and apparently metallic. No interference with ignition noted; instruments not observed and radio not operating during this brief period. Time for the giant disc to climb to the transport’s alti- tude, between five and eight sec- onds, indicated speed between 1,400 and 2,200 knots; the disc had accelerated above this speed on departure. Not all the men in the cabin had seen the luminous rings. Of those who had, most were watching the huge disc approach and did not see the “rings” disappear. If they, too, were flying discs, in a rendez- vous as suggested, they apparently had raced off while the other one was checking on the Constellation. At one point, an Intelligence captain asked Benton if he had seen any indication of life aboard the disc. “No, but it was intelligently con- trolled, that’s certain.” Benton looked at him closely. “That size, it would hardly be remote-con- trolled, would it?” “T couldn’t say,” replied the Air Force man. The Air Force people refused to answer questions or reveal what the Gander Airport radar had shown about the object’s speed or MANCUVETS. Word was flashed ahead. When the crew landed in Patuxent, Md., they were interviewed again —this time by the Navy. j Five days later, Commander Benton had a telephone call from a scientist in a high government agency. The man was cleared by the Navy. He appeared, showed his credentials, listened to Benton’s report. Then he unlocked a dispatch case and showed him some photo- graphs. The object the Constellation crew had seen was like the third picture Commander Benton was shown, “That’s it,’ Commander Benton said. “Somebody must know the answers if you've got photographs of the things.” The other man took the pictures. “Pim sorry, Commander.” He closed the dispatch case and left. CASE NO. 2 “SHOOTING UP THE UFO’S” NE AFTERNOON a Washing- ton friend of Keyhoe’s office manager sent a photostat copy of an Air Force letter. A month be- fore the friend had written to Gen. Nathan Twining, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and asked him some pointed questions. The letter had been relayed to the Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright Patterson Air Force base, Ohio. Dated July 12, 1957, it was signed by Capt. Wallace W. El-

Page 38

40 wood, Assistant Adjutant. The key paragraph in the letter admitted that Air Force pilots had fired on “flying objects they could not identify but which were later determined to be conventional ob- jects.” Keyhoe questioned Captain EI- wood by telephone and was referred to Captain Gregory of Project Blue Book. Captain Gregory referred him to Theodore Hieatt, a civilian who was Deputy Chief of Intelli- gence at the Air Technical Intelli- gence Center (ATIC). Keyhoe con- tinues ... | PRESUME you’ve been briefed, Mr. Hieatt. It’s clear the Air Force pilots thought these objects were hostile.” “Why?” Hieatt asked crisply. “Captain Elwood’s letter states: ‘The orders to pilots are to fire on an unidentified object only if it commits an act which is hostile, menacing, or constituting a danger to the United States.’ ” “That is correct.” “Then the pilots must have been convinced those UFO’s were either menacing them, or were a danger to this country. Otherwise they wouldn’t have fired.” I waited. Mr. Hieatt didn’t answer. “To commit menacing acts,” I said, “the objects would have to be guided, directly or by remote FATE control. Who controlled them dur- ing these attacks?” But Mr. Hieatt wasn’t an Intelli- gence expert for nothing. “T haven’t seen the letter. I don’t know the facts. I’ll check and call you back.” The phone clicked. Later Hieatt called back. “Major Keyhoe? I’ve reviewed that situation. The objects the pilots fired on were foo-fighters.” “Foo-fighters? But the Air Force claims the foo-fighters were only illusions from war nerves.” “The pilots fired on foo-fighters,” Hieatt said patiently, “and foo- fighters are conventional objects.” ’ “How on earth can an illusion be a conventional object? Do you mean those pilots just imagined they saw hostile objects?” “The pilots fired on foo-fighters, and foo-fighters are conventional objects... “In the future,” he said when I thanked him, “address your ques- tions to the Chief of Staff, at the Pentagon.” Fox THOSE who are unfamiliar with the word “foo-fighter,”’ the name is a term given by Allied pilots in World War ITI to strange lights that followed their airplanes. Sometimes the lights flew with them in formation. Sometimes they . darted about. Sometimes the lights were seen during combat. At first

FLYING SAUCERS — TOP SECRET 41 pilots concluded they were some new enemy invention. But they never were captured; they never harmed any aircraft, and little was ever decided about them. Later the Army Air Forces stated they were merely hallucinations and didn’t really exist. However, they were reported from both European and Far Eastern theaters by both sides in the conflict. This was several years before Kenneth Ar- nold reported the first “flying saucers” But in his telephone conversa- tion, Major Keyhoe impaled Hieatt on the horns of a dilemma. If the “foo-fighters” were illusions or didn’t exist, then why was the Air Force firing at them? But if, as Hieatt insisted, they were “con- ventional objects” it would be fascinating to know what they really were. If our readers wish to find out, we suggest they take Hieatt’s suggestion and write to the Chief of Staff at the Pentagon. CASE NO. 3 “THE HUGE, DARK SHAPE” Ce THE FIRST of August, 1955, shortly after 9 P.M., Mr. W. M. Sheneman, owner of a radio and television store in Willoughby, Ohio, drove up to his home on Chardon Rd. As he got out of his car he saw a large circular object, with a red light on the front rim, come down over a nearby field. At about 800 feet, the machine stopped and two beams of light shot down. As the glow illuminated the ground, Sheneman saw several windows around the edge of the hovering disc. “At this point,” Shenemen re- ported, “I became badly frightened and ran back toward the house. I was so scared I ran past my car, parked with the motor running. I felt the occupants of the object were following me. As I ran up the drive it was right overhead, moving in the same direction J was run- ning. “My wife met me at the back door and said, ‘Turn the outside lights on before it hits the house.’ I said, ‘Hell, no, turn them off and maybe it will miss it.’ Our two children were terrified and quickly got under the dining room table to hide.” After a minute, the Shenemans fearfully ventured a look from the back porch. By now, the disc’s lights were turned off. “Dorothy and I stood there and stared up at it,” Sheneman stated. It was a huge dark shape, he said, hovering less than 200 feet above the ground. “It must have been between 80 and 100 feet in di- ameter. It was so large it extended over the major portion of our house, the breezeway and beyond the attached garage. I never heard any noise, but Dorothy insists she

Page 40

42 could hear a very faint soft hum- ming.” : : Abruptly, the strange machine moved over a wooded area nearby. The Shenemans saw a dome on top, lit up by a white glow from inside. Then the disc raced away, leaving them badly shaken. In 1956, Sheneman revealed the story to friends. One of them sent a report to ATIC (Air Technical Intelligence Center), and later, during a conference at the Intelli- gence Center, three Cleveland in- vestigators urged a personal investi- gation. Ce NIGHT an ATIC major visited the Shenemans, ques- tioned them closely, then told them they had seen a test of a Canadian Avro vertical-lift device developed for the United States Air Force. To back up his claim, the Intelli- gence officer showed the Shene- mans a glossy print supposed to depict the Avro machine in flight. Actually, this was only an artist’s conception of what the device would look like, since not even a mock-up had been built at that time. The first model was not com- pleted until 1959 and it is still being tested. For three hours, the Air Force major tried to persuade Sheneman and his wife to sign an admission that this was what they had seen. They both refused. FATE CASE NO. 4 “THE BIG AIRLINER CHASE” lt was 9 p.m. on April 8, 1956, when American Airlines Flight 775 took off from New York, bound for Buffalo by way of Al- bany, Syracuse and Rochester. At 10:20, the twin-engined Convair cleared Albany Airport, with Capt. Raymond E. Ryan, 43-year-old veteran, at the airliner’s controls. Ryan banked to the left, to pick up the course to Syracuse. Sud- denly a peculiar flourescent glow appeared on his right. “That’s an awfully bright light,” he told First Officer William Neff. As Neff peered out on his side, Ryan watched the light warily. It couldn’t be a plane’s landing light —it was too brilliant, almost blinding. Something strange seemed to be hovering over Schenectady. Both pilots watched, puzzled, as the Convair drew abreast. Captain Ryan started to veer away, to keep a safe distance. Instantly the strange object whirled through a 90-degree turn, then shot ahead of them. In those seconds, Ryan estimated, it had accelerated to about 900 m.p.h. He knew then it was no jet. After a few moments, the UFO quickly decelerated to the airliner’s speed, then gradually dropped back. As it slowed, its brilliant glow faded out. Afraid of hitting the mystery machine in the dark, Ryan switch- ed on the Conyair’s landing lights.

Page 41

FLYING SAUCERS — TOP SECRET 43 Just before the powerful beams lanced ahead, the UFO’s glow re- turned, with an orange tinge. It was obviously pacing the plane, though keeping well ahead. Captain Ryan radioed Griffiss Air Force Base, near Rome, N.Y. When he reported the UFO, the Griffiss tower immediately told him to cut off his landing lights. After he complied, Griffiss called back. “Now we can see an orange ob- ject near you. Our radar isn’t on but we’re going to scramble two jets. Keep on watching the object and report what you see.” By this time Stewardess Phyllis Reynolds had come into the cock- pit and had seen the unknown machine. To avoid frightening the passengers, Ryan told her not to mention the UFO. Since it was dead ahead, it could not be seen from the cabin. The Griffiss tower told them to change course and: follow the UFO. Under Civil Aeronautics regula- tions there was no authority for military control of an airliner. Any deviation from an officially ap- proved course would be the cap- tain’s responsibility, to be fully ex- plained to the CAA and his com- pany. But this was an Air Force order with a note of urgency, and Captain Ryan obeyed. Turning away from Syracuse, he followed the unknown machine. It was now heading northwest across New York State, its speed still reduced, as if to let the Convair follow. Up ahead, where the lights of Oswego ended, Captain Ryan could see the dark expanse of Lake On- tario. The UFO began to pick up speed. The Convair roared over Oswego, and the shoreline passed beneath. The UFO, moving faster and faster, was headed up toward Canada. Abruptly, Ryan changed his mind. Air Force order or not, he would not risk his passengers’ lives. He banked, swung back toward Syracuse. On the return flight, Ryan and Neff puzzled over the missing Air Force interceptors. With their high speed, the jets had had ample time to catch up with the Convair. Perhaps the CAA tower operators at Syracuse would know the answer. Radio contact had been lost with Griffiss Air Force Base and the Syracuse tower had relayed Ryan’s messages. He knew they would monitor all the Convair-Griffiss communications. ‘But when Ryan called Syracuse, the CAA men told him they had no word on the jets. The UFO, he learned, had been sighted by CAA tower operators at Albany and Watertown. But none of them knew what had happened to the inter- ceptors, and the Griffiss tower now was silent. Under the usual Air Force pro-

Page 42

44 cedure, the Convair crew would im- mediately have been warned not to reveal this chase. The CAA men were automatically silenced by JANAP 146. But Ryan was not under security. Whatever the cause, the pilots were muzzled too late. When Flight 775 landed at Buf- falo, the airport tower staff and American Airlines’ operations men already knew the story. Following normal procedure, Ryan had radioed his report before landing. The Buf- falo Evening News learned of the chase and a reporter reached Ryan. On April 10 the newspaper ran the story. “This was absolutely real,” Ryan was quoted. “I’m convinced there was something fantastic up there.” PROOF OF THE COVER-UP HEN H#& became Director of the National Investiga- tions Committee on Aerial Phe- nomena, Major Keyhoe decided to investigate this case further. Everywhere he went, he found there was a cover-up. The pilots were muzzled. Their company, American Airlines, denied every- thing. The Government agencies in- volved joined in the denial. Keyhoe obtained an official copy of the CAA investigations report. It contained a statement from Cap- tain Ryan: “I did not deviate from course at any time. I did sight an object FATE and it was witnessed.” Keyhoe then went back to the Buffalo Evening News. Lenord Kreuger, assistant city editor, de- clared that the News would back its story 100 percent. Major Keyhoe next went to the Civil Aeronautics Board whose safety bureau investigated. The re- port signed by Vice-Chairman Chan Gurny quoted Captain Ryan as not deviating from his course. The report also said that scheduled time for the flight is 49 minutes and that the actual elapsed log time was 48 minutes. The Board concluded that this schedule could not have been maintained if the plane had devi- ated from its course. Meanwhile American Airlines Vice-President Willis Player wrote Keyhoe: “T find that Captain Ryan states unequivocally that he did sight an object. He also states unequivocal- ly that he did not chase it. His flight time between Syracuse and Albany confirms that statement.” These statements ordinarily would have ended the matter. De- spite the Buffalo Evening News declaration that its story was ac- curate there appeared to be no other confirmation. But there was! Captain Ryan, First Officer Neff, and Bruce Foster, a Bell Aircraft Company engineer, had been inter- viewed on Buffalo Station WBEN-

They had been in contact with Griffiss Air Force Base. They had been ordered to pursue the object. They had pur- sued it! There it was — their voices on the tape. So there had been a conspiracy to cover up after all! Except for Palmer’s accidental recording UFO investigators would have been made to look like fools again. C9 “VAMPIRE” ARRESTED IN ARGENTINA OR ALMOST a week early in February, 1960, women in the town of Monteros, in north-central Argentina, were terrorized by the late-night at- tacks of a “human vampire.” At least 15 women, it is re- ported, fell victim to the noc- turnal marauder. All of the women lived alone and had been sleeping with open windows because of a heat wave. They hysterically told of being suddenly pounced on by a vampire-like attacker, who bit deeply into their necks and drank the blood. Finally, early in the morn- ing of February 14, two police- men on patrol duty in the town heard a woman scream. As they ran up, they saw a cloaked fig- ure dash from a house. They chased the fugitive into a cave on the outskirts of Monteros. While one of the policemen stood guard, the other ran back to town for reinforce- ments. When the additional police entered the cave they found the “vampire,” who wore a black hat and cloak, in a deep sleep. Taken to police headquarters, the suspect identified himself as Florencio Roque Fernandez, 25, a stonemason. He admitted he was the “vampire” who had been biting the throats of wom- en in the town, but he could give no explanation for his ac- tions. “T don’t know what made me do it,” he told the police. C9 SHARING THE BREAKS IMMY HANSON, 11, and Marty Dunn, 12, of Minneapolis, Minn., were classmates and noted for being close friends who often did things together. Recently Jimmy broke his right arm in a fall from a swing at school. While playing basketball in the school gym, Marty broke his right arm in the same spot.

of my premonition of that morn- ing. She laughed and brushed off the occurrence as “a coincidence.” The next morning, right after breakfast, I again got a premoni- tion. That night, coming home as before and in the same block as be- fore, I would find a comb. I told this to my wife and she again laugh- ed. But, strange to say, at 11:00 -P.M., I did find the comb in just about the same place where I had found the keys. When I came home I showed the comb to my wife. She waved it away as “just another coincidence.” The next day, just as I was leav- ing the house to go to work, I again got a premonition. This time I would find a long, yellow lead pencil in about the same location as be- fore, at the same time as before. I mentioned this to my wife and she wrinkled her nose and walked away without comment. Returning home that night I found the yellow lead pencil as I had predicted. I showed it to my wife but she only shook her head and changed the subject. The very next morning —I re- member it was a Friday —I got my fourth successive premonition. This time I felt that I would find a $10 bill in the same block as be- fore, under the same circumstances. I mentioned this to my wife and she shrugged her shoulders and walked away into the kitchen. That night, when I finished the 47 last show at the Stanley, I began to think about my premonition and to wonder if it would come true. As usual, I got off the 73 trolley at Penn and Highland. As I walked up the next block to transfer to an 88 car I scrutinized the sidewalk pretty carefully. But this time I saw nothing but concrete. I felt let down. When I got to the car stop I en- tered the lobby of the Sheraden Square theater to wait for my 88 car. The lobby is deep—a good place to stay on a cold, windy Feb- ruary night — and there were a doz- en others waiting for their cars. Finally one of them said that there was an 88 coming, and four or five hurried over to the street car plat- form. I tagged along, the last one of the group, still hoping I would find the $10 bill and looking care- fully at the sidewalk. I saw nothing. Then just as I was about to mount the first step of the car, I did see something green on the ground in the semi-darkness. I stooped and picked up a paper oblong and look- ed at it as I stepped up into the trolley. It was a beautiful, crisp, brand new $10 bill! When I got home, I immediately showed the $10 bill to my wife. She laughed uproariously. “Who are you trying to fool?” she said. “You just made the whole thing up. A big joke.” I finally stopped trying to con-

48 vince her. She wouldn’t believe me. But this last vindication of my pre- monitions had frightened me. To forestall any more such occurrences, I decided to change my route com- ing home. Thereafter, I disem- barked from the 73 car at Center and Highland and took a 75 car, instead of an 88, to Homewood. FATE This meant that after leaving the trolley I had an extra block to walk of an evening, but it was worth the trouble, because it gave me peace of mind. I don’t like premonitions. They upset me. I fear them. I don’t want them. And I have had none, since that time. ee NEW WONDERS OF THE PAST HE Romanian newspaper Scinteia reported recently that 2,000-year-old streets, temples, canals, aqueducts and graves have been discovered at Contana City, on the Romanian Black Sea Coast. Also found was a stone and brick construction with walls six feet, six inches thick and a 2,400-square-yard mosaic, said to be one of the largest in the world.

Peter Hurkos i and the Jackson Family Murders a ee |B aes THE month of June, 1960, there was enacted in the state of Virginia a sequence of events that can only reflect un- happily upon public attitudes to- ward psychic phenomena and ESP. In the center of the stage was Peter Hurkos, the Dutch telepath, a man of admitted psychic ability. Not exactly standing on the wings were various newspaper reporters, police officials, and Dr. F. Regis Riesenman, a _ psychiatrist, who lives in Falls Church, Va. The events around which these principals revolved was a tragic murder case of which the readers of Fatt have been kept informed. The case began with the mysterious disappearance of the Carroll Jack- son family of Apple Grove, Va. They vanished while driving along a rural highway in January, 1959. No word, no clue, of the family was found until March 4, 1959, when the bodies of Jackson and his 14-year-old daughter Janet were found lying under a brush pile in a wooded area near Fredericksburg, Va. Eighteen days later, the bodies of Mrs. Jackson and 6-year-old Susan Ann, 6, were found in a shallow grave near Annapolis. Alf had been murdered. County, state and federal au- thorities cooperated in a nationwide search for the murderer. The FBI alone investigated 1,475 suspects. But no worthwhile clues turned up until late in the Spring of 1960. Then Peter Hurkos came onto the scene and a series of strange 49

Page 48

50 and fantastic events followed. Hurkos, as the readers of this magazine know, (see Hurkos Reads The Future on Channel 10, Febru- ary, 1960, FATE) is a Dutch tele- path and psychometrist who has had some remarkable triumphs in his career. He acquired his abilities, he says, after a skull fracture in 1943. Hurkos’ real name, inci- dentally, is Peter Van Der Hurk, but he is known as Hurkos, al- though for some reason the Wash- ington newspapers persisted in call- ing him “Herkos.” Peter Hurkos was called into the Jackson case by Dr. Ries- enman, 50, who is on the staff of St. Elizabeth’s hospital. As a psy- chiatrist Riesenman had _ been in- terested in the case for a long time because the murderer was obviously a psychopath and might strike again. Dr. Riesenman himself paid Hurkos’ fee of $100 per day plus expenses, because he felt that the police were stymied. Hurkos flew in from Miami, Fla., and Dr. Riesenman met him at the airport in Monday, June 6. The following day, Dr. Riesenman in- troduced Hurkos to Capt. Charles M. Lindsay and Inspector Jack Hall of the Virginia State Police. The four drove to the. Jackson home in Apple Grove and then to the site near Fredericksburg where the bodies of Mr. Jackson and Janet were found. FATE From the first, Hurkos seemed to get startling results. “He knew the first couple of hours,” Dr. Riesenman later said. “He had a mental picture of the killer’s face, plus a mental picture of the killer’s home.” Some of MHurkos’ “messages” were later to prove out in startling fashion. Oe WEDNESDAY the investigators went to the place where Mrs. Jackson’s body had been found in Maryland. They also visited the place where Mrs. Margaret V. Har- old, a 36-year-old Arbutus, Md., mother, had been shot to death in June, 1957, as she sat in a parked car with an Army sergeant. At this place, Hurkos “got the feeling” according to the men ac- companying him. He said, “I see the same face as I saw before.... I also see how the crime was com- mitted.” On the way back to Washington, Hurkos described the killer in more detail .... “his hair was bristly . . . . hangs down in front.” Dr. Riesenman took notes as Hurkos talked. He visualized a man with two scars on his left leg and a tat- too on his arm. And then he began to visualize the man’s home—two-toned in color with a chair in the yard out- side. Then he described the wo- man’s face. :

Page 49

PETER HURKOS AND THE JACKSON FAMILY MURDERS | 51 “T could see her hair style, the -hair flattened toward the back of her head and with a center part. She also had two missing upper teeth and a pointed nose.” Dr.Riesenman discussed this de- scription with police and _ they agreed that it fitted one of their suspects. They drove to the house which was in Vienna, Va., and found that the suspect had moved. Yet it was the identical house that Hurkos had “seen” in his inner mind and which he had described. By evening police had located the new home of the suspect — but it is noteworthy that the man had lived in the house Hurkos described at the time of the Jackson murders. The man was arrested that night, but Hurkos was so exhausted by his efforts that he could not go on and the suspect was released. The next day Dr. Riesenman and Hurkos went to the suspect’s house and interviewed his wife while the husband was at work. Hurkos began by telling the woman about her past. He reminded her of beatings her husband had given her. Dr. Riesenman described the interview in detail. «< Remember the six beatings?’ Hurkos said. He even got up and enacted, with emotion, and sat down and cried.” HIs was Hurkos’ effort to con- vince the woman that he knew everything about her husband’s be- havior. At one point in the interview the wife said, “I can’t lie to this man. He knows everything . .. . just like God. I have never said any- thing before because my husband threatened to kill me and the children.” Her husband had acted “funny” about the time of the unsolved murder of Mrs. Harold in 1957, the wife said. He also acted “funny” the weekend the Jacksons vanished. In 1957 he had gone away for two weeks and returned without saying where he had been. He also was gone the weekend the Jacksons were killed. After each absence, she said, her husband’ would pace the floor, pressing his hands to his head and muttering, “Oh, what have I done!” When he returned in January, 1959 he also had been drinking. The wife went with Hurkos and Dr. Riesenman to the police station and police later picked up her hus- band. He was grilled by the police, Hurkos and Dr. Riesenman. On the face of things, it looked like a strong lead to the murders, if nothing more. But at precisely this point things began to fall apart. The husband denied killing the Jacksons. Yet when Dr. Riesenman pointed out that he had had certain amnesia episodes he admitted, “I can’t be sure.”

Page 50

52 The questioning lasted hours. During this period, Dr. Riesenman suggested the desir- ability of hospitalizing the man. “T felt he was potentially danger- ous,” Dr. Riesenman said, “so we set the hearing up.” The hearing then held was tech- nically legal but under the circum- stances took practically the form of a kangaroo court —at least in the public’s eyes. A sanity hearing was called by Fairfax County Court Judge J. Mason Grove at 1:45 A. M. At that unusual hour a lunacy com- mission was convened, consisting of Judge Grove, Dr. Riesenman, and Dr. Jesse R. Cover, Fairfax jail physician. The commission found that the suspect was mentally unbalanced and committed him to the South- western State Hospital for the in- sane. No criminal charges were placed against the man and under Virginia law his name was withheld. Technically, of course, the com- mittment had to be made at the request of the man’s wife. Technically, also, no charges could be brought against him be- cause apart from the wife’s state- ment there was no evidence what- ever against him that would be ad- missible in court. ie MAv be properly asked, there- fore why normal judicial pro- four FATE cesses did not take place, with nor- mal criminal investigative proced- ures, The committment was for 90 days. Dr. Riesenman felt that 90 days of treatment would help clar- ify the accused man’s testimony if and when he was formally charged. It also may be that the police felt it would be well to keep him in storage while they conducted a more intensive investigation. Nevertheless, the committment roused substantial criticism. While admitting that the hearing was technically legal, the Washington Sunday Star, in an editorial titled “Crystal Ball Justice,” called the proceedings “weird” and asked why it was necessary to ship a man “off to an insane asylum at 2:00 o’clock. in the morning?” The Star ob- viously felt that the suspect’s rights had been violated.. The American Civil Liberties Union also investigated the matter. More and worse was to come. In an appearance on WMAL-TV Hur- kos, who continued on the case for a time without fee, predicted that more evidence would turn up in the case in 14 days. He was absolutely correct. At the end of June the FBI announced the arrest of an entirely new suspect in the crime and seized Melvin David Rees of Hydesville, Md., member of a long respected family in the community. Rees is a musician and

Page 51

PETER HURKOS AND THE JACKSON FAMILY MURDERS 53 the FBI said it had very strong evidence against him. Meanwhile, the truck driver who had been spirited off to South- western State Hospital in the dead of night was quietly released. HIS UNFORTUNATE case should remain an object lesson on the pitfalls awaiting those who try to make practical use of extrasensory abilities. Was Hurkos getting impressions? No doubt he was. He says, “When I do these things I feel vibrations. These vibrations are translated into mental pictures. As time goes on, the pictures fit to- gether to form a pattern. Some of them formed into something like a continuous movie strip, showing me what took place at the scene of the crime.” The problem with psychic im- pressions of this nature, as every researcher in the field has learned, is that they are apt to be random, without direction, and that the per- cipient’s mind often becomes in- extricably involved in what he per- ceives. Often there is a “spill-over” of psychic impressions from one mind to another. What Hurkos may have been “receiving” in his mind was not psychometric impressions from the scene of these separate crimes, but a “spill-over” from the minds of police officials present who had their own ideas about who the sus- pects were and where they lived. Throughout this case there is woven a puzzling admixture of truthful impressions which were later verified. Only in the final de- cision did Hurkos appear to be wrong. Unfortunately that was the critical one. Let us examine some of the ways in which Hurkos was correct... Dr. Riesenman met Hurkos at the airport and identified himself by showing him his wallet. Hurkos caught sight of a photograph of Dr. Riesenman’s father in the wallet. He quickly described the older man’s poor health. He was correct. At the Riesenman home he walked over to a picture of Dr. Riesenman’s mother and described the details of her last illness and death. He was correct to the mi- nutest detail. Hurkos is apparently always a showman. In the midst of the murder investigation, he entertained a number of Falls Church residents by telling them correctly obscure details of their lives. Although he was apparently wrong in the suspect he finally named, he was correct in pointing to a man who had been suspected of the crime and had been investi- gated, and against whom damaging new evidence was immediately forthcoming. It is part of the whole puzzling -

Page 52

54 structure of right-wrong guesses that Hurkos correctly identified the house where the suspect lived at the time the crime was committed, though he was no longer living there. Hurkos was even correct in describing the two color tones of the house and the fact that there was a chair in the yard outside. He accurately described the face of the suspect’s wife. It is noteworthy that at this point the policeman in the car an- nounced that a man questioned in the Jackson murder investigation did live in a home with a chair out front. And he said that the man and his wife did indeed resemble the persons Hurkos was describing. Here is clear evidence for the pos- sibility of what we have called tele- pathic “spill-over.” The matter is complicated, and we could continue speculating in- PATE definitely. For example, we might surmise that the policeman in the car while Hurkos was giving his descriptions was, whether he knew it or not, a very strong “broad- caster” of telepathic impressions. Perhaps, indeed, such strong hu- man “broadcasting stations” are re- sponsible for many of the contra- dictions in this field and when they are present they overpower more subtle extrasensory signals. We choose to use the comparison with broadcasting because that is the comparison that Hurkos him- self uses. In Europe Peter Hurkos is known as the “Man with the Radar Brain.” Even Hurkos ad- mits, however, that his radar is fuzzy at times, although clear as a bell at other times. Yet even in this case Hurkos had a last word. “I’m not finished yet,” he says.

By Helen Harriet O’Mara HAD LEFT Long Island College Hospital School of Nursing where I was a student, and was on my way home for a 30 day vaca- tion. I took the subway to Grand Central station where I picked up my reservation on my way to the small town in northern New York where my family lives. My thoughts were entirely on the 30 days ahead and the forthcoming delight of do- ing as I pleased for the next four weeks. After my long months of student nurse’s life a reunion with my affectionate family would be a welcome relief. At Grand Central I hadn’t stood by the big clock in the center of the station more than five minutes when the gate slid back and the bored, tired, but still amiable tick- ~ et conductor called, “All Aboard!” Inspite of my readiness three persons were ahead of me in line to board the New York Central Lake Shore Limited. 1 took my place in the line, my ticket clutched firmly in my left hand, my bulging suitcase in my right. The first per- son was through and the second was handing his ticket to the conductor when suddenly | panicked. HELEN HARRIET O/MARA Mrs. O’Mara at present is completing her Master’s degree in Nursing Service Adminis tration at Syracuse University, after 14 years of nursing service in the Armed Forces.

56 I felt a cold chill creep from the nape of my neck down my spine; ‘my hand that held the ticket was shaking, and it seemed I couldn’t move an inch. But I knew I must get out of that line! I ‘turned, mumbling, “Excuse me, please,” and bumbled back toward the safe- ty of the big terminal floor. People stared at me as I almost ran to- ward the Big Clock. There I leaned my back against the marble shelf. No sooner had I done this, feeling a relief beyond words and not know- ing why, than I began to tremble all over. The terminal had not seemed warm before but now per- spiration trickled down my face. My hands were slippery wet. My suitcase slid to the floor. I just stood there! I didn’t care how I looked or who looked at me. This was the place for me— not in the line leading to the Lake Shore Limited. I must not take that train! My family expected me at 7:30 the following morning and now, since I had no intention of taking that train, I would have to call home. I decided that after the train pulled out I would tell them that the train was gone but that I would board the morning train. I checked my bag in an overnight locker, de- ciding that I had best return to the Nurses’ Home for the night. I called home and my mother answered. I told her the train had left but that I would be on the FATE morning train without fail. Mother said, “Oh, Helen, we’re so disappointed. We were all figur- ing that in about 12 hours you would be here. Now we'll have to wait until night. What are you going to do now?” “Well, I’ve checked my bag and I’m going back to the Nurses’ Home. Tlk stay there tonight. [ll tell you all about it tomorrow night,” I said. “What do you mean, Helen?”’ Mother asked. “T don’t know, yet. But watch tomorrow’s paper.” I continued talking to Mother a few moments more, at the same time wondering what I meant by these strange remarks, I went back to the Nurses’ Home. I don’t remember that my sleep was restless that night. In fact, I have a dim recollection of being so thankful I was in my hide- ous room that I found it wonderful- ly welcoming for once. I was in- deed thankful; but I didn’t know why! I waked at 6:00 o’clock the next morning, hurriedly dressed, signed out again and ran to Joe Ralski’s corner drugstore where I bought a newspaper. Headlines screamed: “LAKE SHORE LIMITED LEAVES TRACK AT LITTLE FALLS”. There followed an account of the tragedy in which a high school

Page 55

TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES friend, Jimmie Tallon, was killed along with many other passengers and crew members. The train had left the tracks shortly before mid- night on April 19, 1940, plunged across a highway and into a rock embankment. Pullman cars were ripped open, smashed and _ piled along the right of way. Well, there it was. Another strange experience for me! I wonder how I know ahead of time about these approaching tragedies. I am thankful that I do know, of course. Through the years my premonitions have concerned events involving me, have concern- ed meeting or missing persons whom I should meet or miss. I still “play my hunches” even though it often seems silly at the time. But kow do I know? —Sy- racuse, N. Y. THE STORM By Al Schroeder ee ONE afternoon in October, 1920, I was driving on a dirt road leading into a small town in Wisconsin when 4 violent thunder- storm struck. I managed to get to a small restaurant, have supper and get directions from the restaurant owner to the home of an acquaint- ance where I thought I could spend the night. There were no hotels. The rain was still coming down in sheets when I introduced myself to the wife of my friend at her door. 57 She welcomed me with what seemed genuine relief saying that she was pleased to have a man in the house on a wild night like this, as her husband was in St. Paul on business and she and the children were alone. The storm increased; the rain and wind slatted against the house; the thunder and lightning were al- most continuous. The lights glow- ed and dimmed, sometimes leaving the house in darkness. I noticed that the woman became more agitated as the storm worsen- ed. She paced the floor and alter- nately pulled the curtains trying to shut out the storm and raised them to stare into the darkness. I was, seated at the dining room table writing my daily report. She sat down in a chair across from me looking driven and distraught. “T hate storms,” she said. “The things I see in them frighten me terribly, although I should be used to them by this time. They certain- ly are moving around tonight.” I did not know who they might be, but she continued. “People who have only the usual perception are fortunate. I remem- ber the first time I realized that I could see things not visible to most other people. We were living in Pennsylvania. It was early spring and two girl friends and I were coming home from school. Sudden- ly I saw great flocks of birds fly-

It was as if the wind was blowing them along, and they were dead. “T told my friends about them but they couldn’t see any birds. They thought I was play acting. “T went home and told my moth- er who nodded and said, ‘So you have the power, too.’ She explained that it would be better not to tell what I saw. “Tate one evening that fall Moth- er and I were in our front room when we heard someone walking with a cane come slowly up our walk. It was quite dark but I saw a shadowy figure coming up our steps. The door to the vestibule opened and we heard a cane rattle into the umbrella stand. Mother opened the door but there was no one there. She started to cry, say- ing, ‘Your grandfather is dead.’ “Tt was true, Grandfather had died that evening in Altoona, Pa. “The following spring a neigh- bor boy, a good friend of mine, fell into a stone quarry and was killed. A few days after the funeral as I came along the street I saw him sit- ting on the steps of his home. Then he vanished.” I was staring at the woman in amazement but she was lost in her own reverie. After a pause she spoke again. “When my father bought this FATE farm he was able to buy a half sec- tion with good buildings on a tax title. We soon found out why. “Tt was a night like this. I had stepped outside to get some towels that had been left on the line on the back porch and as I took down the last one I glanced around and nearly fainted. A man stood in the yard in the rain. He was dressed in city clothes. The entire side of his head was crushed in. He was dead. Yet he seemed to beckon to me. I rushed into the kitchen. My mother glanced at me and eaded, ‘I have seen him too,’ she said. “A few nights later one of our horses got the colic and my father stayed in the barn to care for him. After about an hour the horse got to his feet and unconcernedly began eating his hay. Father picked up his lantern and as he turned to leave the barn the figure of the man with the crushed skull stood before him. “My father was stunned and frightened. It was the first appari- tion he had ever seen. “The ghost backed slowly from the barn beckoning Father to fol- low. When it reached a wagon that stood in the yard it raised it’s hands to it’s head in a gesture of agony and slowly sank into the ground. “Father came into the house, white and shaken. After he had told us what he had seen Mother said thoughtfully, “This is no wander-

We must dig where he disappeared and if he is there we must give him Christian burial.’ “We had dug down only five feet when we found his remains. We buried him from our church, in our cemetery and never saw him again.” The woman stopped talking. She seemed more composed and I sud- denly noticed that the storm was over. There was only the sound of water dripping from the eaves and the faint rumble of thunder in the distance. My friend’s wife looked at me. “You are fortunate,” she repeated, “that you cannot see what is out there in these wild storms,” — Johnson Creek, Wis. LOST AND FOUND By Helen Buchanan M* story dates back to the year 1910, the year of Haley’s Comet. I was between the ages of 13 and 14 and staying with my Aunt Helen and Cousin Lottie Kerr, in Titusville, Pa. My own family had a farm a mile and a half east of there. I loved staying at my Aunt Helen’s. My reason for being there at that time was that she was very ill and wanted me by her side. I spent many hours holding her hand when she felt badly. In fact, I was 59 with her when she died, After she passed away my cousin was shocked to find that her mother’s gold watch was not among her things. It was strange because no one ever went into my aunt’s room but Lottie, the housekeeper, and me. I[ felt awfully bad about it. A short while later, a very strange thing happened, I had a dream. Aunt Helen came to me and told me where to find the gold watch and chain. She said, “Look under Lottie’s bed, open the seam in the carpet, and in a knothole in the floor you will find the missing watch.” My cousin told me I was talking nonsense and to forget it, but I couldn’t. So I did as Aunt Helen asked me. Under the bed I could see where the seam of the carpet had been opened and drawn together again. I opened it and there was the watch and chain, resting in a knothole in the floor. I was so excited. I ran quickly to my cousin and showed her what I had found. She couldn’t believe her eyes. It turned out finally that the housekeeper had hid the watch there the day of Aunt Helen’s fun- eral, while we were all away from the house. The incident was put in the Titusville Herald at the time and is true in all details. I am now

It looked innocent enough. Large, comfortable, attractively upholster- ed, it looked like many other chairs. But one day, sitting in it, I found it was a demon in disguise. I kept the terrible experience to myself. Frank would only laugh! So on some casual pretext, I per- suaded him to move the chair into the guest room. Still the chair lured me and each time I found myself helplessly pin- ned to the seat. Always, when I first sit down in it, ’m so sure of myself. Go on, I say, I dare you to try it again. But within minutes my resistance crum- , FATE bles under the veil of sleep that folds down over me like a sheet covering the dead. My eyes begin blinking. Voices start screeching in my ear; mixed voices, harsh, young, old, male, female, all taunting me by suggesting that perhaps this time I may not wake up. Then the dreams come, grisly dreams . . . and suddenly it’s over and I’m awake, head pounding, eyes aching. Last night I went into the guest room again. Only to look at the chair, I told myself. Odd, how sud- denly old and shabby it looked. Later I asked Frank if we should get it re-upholstered. He startled me by the look on his face as he answered, “No! Let’s get that thing out of the house.” He must know the secret, too. The chair is still in my home and I find an inexplicable reluctance on my part to let my husband haul it out of the house. — Hasbrouck Heights, N.J.

Ve |e ‘ Wis * Wetherby’s SNAKE-LOVER There was a strange reason why beautiful, young Lady Wetherby gave a cobra the affection she denied her husband. ADY WETHERBY had married General Sir Henry Wetherby in her 18th year. He was more than 20 years her senior, a distinguished soldier who had just been made governor of one of the southern provinces of India. “What a handsome couple,” ev- eryone exclaimed, as they came down the red carpeted steps of St. George’s in Hanover Square togeth- er and were met with showers of By Chass rice, worn-out slippers and the other conventional atrocities of a church wedding in London. They had left at once for India. He to take up his position as gov- ernor, she to fill her role of social engagements as a governor’s wife. She knew little about the country . she was about to visit. Although she had been born there when her father, the late Lord Midenton, was governor of the same province

Page 60

44 62 to which her husband now had been appointed. As the only child of Lord and Lady Midenton, she had been brought up strictly. No nun in a convent was ever more shielded from the world than was the Honorable Dorothy Midenton in her early life. In her 14th year her mother had died. Without waiting six months her church-going father married his mistress, am ex-chorus girl he had been keeping for the past 10 years. Dorothy was sent to live with a spinster aunt in London. The ways of Fate, however, are strange. In spite of everything the Honorable Dorothy captured the heart of General Sir Henry Wether- by when they met for the first time at a church bazaar. Sir Henry was the most sought after man in Lon- don at that particular moment. The spinster aunt was only too glad to get such a responsibility off her hands. She already had no- ticed how men turned to look at Dorothy whenever she took her shopping. Although dressed in the simplest style her lithe, slender figure, so full of grace and magnet- ic charm, stood out in sharp con- trast among the more gaudy fash- ions of the day. For the church bazaar the spin- ster aunt had turned her out in a simple dress ‘of white muslin; everything she wore was white even to a white rose in her hair. FATE Sir Henry Wetherby, catching sight of Dorothy, felt that here, at last, was something he had dreamed about, a vision in pure white, a symbol of innocence. He was a man of quick decisions and indomitable will. He made him- self agreeable to the aunt who was flattered by the attention of such a distinguished personality. He was invited to call and did so, the very next day. As he was so shortly leay- ing to take up his governorship in India he lost no time in declaring his intentions and the wedding was quickly arranged. Cue FEW years later I met Lady Wetherby on her return from India. Without giving her name she made an appointment through my secretary. I can never forget the afternoon in May when she came to my house. It was the beginning of a friendship that lasted until her death. I quickly divined her curiously constituted nature. I told her of the failure of her marriage and its approaching break-up. She looked me straight in the face and said, “But such a thing is not possible. How can my husband divorce me? I am not like other women; I have had no lovers and never will have. I do not care for men.” Then she added abruptly, “Tell me, Cheiro, do you believe in rein- carnation? I learned something

Page 61

LADY WETHERBY’S SNAKE-LOVER 63 about it in India. It has intrigued me. Tell me first what you think. Then I will relate my experience.” A curious sensation came over me. Glancing up from her hands, our eyes met, and I realized I was in the presence of a woman who was anything but normal. Could I tell her frankly the thoughts that were rapidly forming in my mind? I felt I could — so I let myself go. “Yes,” I said, “I believe in rein- carnation. I have my own queer theories about the subject but please remember they are only the- ories and may not be worth any serious thought. “T believe that the lower forms of life are slowly and steadily striv- ing to raise themselves a stage high- er by incarnating, if they get the opportunity, either in the bodies of humans or by becoming so close- ly associated with them that when their span of life is over they have become superior to the position in which they were created. The law of evolution may apply not only to mankind, but may play its role equally well from the lowest forms of life up to the highest.” I could see my theory interested her. There was a question in her half-closed eyes. Very thoughtfully, she said, “I cannot explain how much your the- ory appeals to me. Tell me if you can, through what series of incar- nations I have passed.” I know I may be criticized for the answer I so impulsively gave. I know I had no right to “sit in judgement” on that strangely con- stituted woman and yet I felt it would be still worse to deceive her. IT could not hold back the thoughts rapidly pressing through my mind. “You are not a normal woman,” I answered, “in fact, you are not really human. For this rea- son, as you yourself admit, you have never loved any human being and never can. You attract men by your beauty but you can give them nothing in return. You admit that your husband is everything a wo- man could desire but you could not respond to his affection and your marriage has never been consum- mated. You have passed through many incarnations, from the lowest expression of life to where you are today, the very highest of your type perhaps, but not human, not even animal.” “You have told me the truth,” she interrupted. “I will now tell you my experience in India. It coin- cides exactly with what you say._ My husband had a wonderful posi- tion but I could not enter in any way into his social life or be of use to him in his ambitions. I detested meeting people and showed my dis- like openly. He reproached me at times, yet he was kindness itself; but the breach widened between us . year after year.

“My greatest desire was to wan- der off alone as far as I could into the jungle. I had no fear of animals er snakes, in fact, the latter seemed always to welcome me. “On one of my rambles I struck a@ path that led me to one of the many ruined temples that may be found in that part of India. At first I thought I was alone but I found to my surprise that it was in- habited by a very old Yogi. “He greeted me as if he had known me all my life. Leading me to a deep recess carved out of the solid rock that supported the high- arched roof, we sat down under the shadow of an image of Buddha. “Well, child,’ he said, ‘What is it you wish to ask?’ “<“T do not know,’ I answered, ‘I have found my way here by mere chance.’ “He smiled. ‘There is no such thing as chance. You have been led here for some purpose, Tell me, what is it that is troubling your mind?’ “Well”, I blurted out, ‘explain, if you can, why it is that I am dif- ferent than all other women?’ “He replied in almost the same words you used today: ‘Because you are not human. Your soul has not reached that incarnation yet.’ Then he went on, ‘You see, my child, I am very old. I lived here .even before your own father was governor of this province. I remem- a a FATE ber as if it were yesterday, at your birth how upset your parents were that you came into this world a girl and not a boy. “<There was something strange about you even then. One after- noon, when you were only a few months old, your ayah left you in your little cot on the verandah out- side your mother’s windows. When she returned she saw a snake, a full grown King Cobra, coiled around the cot with its head resting on your pillow. “<The woman, knowing the dan- gerous nature of the snake, scream- ed with terror. Your father rushed out, but before he or the servants could do anything the cobra dis- appeared down the side of the ver- andah. From that day, my child, you had no fear of snakes. “<This incident so upset your mother that she never rested until your father resigned his position and returned to England. The curi- ous part of it all is that 20 years later your husband received the same appointment and brought you back here to the very place in which you were born.’ ““And am JI then the reincarna- tion of a snake?’ I asked the Yogi. “He hesitated for a moment, then looking at me very calmly he said, ‘Yes, I believe that is the answer to the mystery of why you are dif- ferent from other members of your sex.’

Page 63

LADY WETHERBY’S SNAKE-LOVER . 65 “That evening as I left my bath I caught the reflection of my body in a mirror. I noticed for the first time that the lines of my figure were not those that women are sup- posed to have. I looked lithe, sup- ple and double-jointed. I had neither breasts nor hips. When I put my feet together my entire form took on the appearance of a snake. “T remembered that I had ac- counted for the dazzling whiteness of my body by the fact that my skin seems to peel off once every year while a new layer takes its place. Since then I have read that such a thing is one of the charac- teristics of snakes. “T did not feel in any way dis- tressed at the old Yogi’s revelation. On the contrary, I felt that at last I understood why I was different and the knowledge made me hap- pier than I had ever been. - “The next afternoon I again climbed up the path that led to the temple where the old man lived. He had a wonderful philosophy of life that explained many of its mys- teries. I finally arranged to come to him at least once a week and listen to his teachings. “On one of these occasions a young cobra, a magnificent male specimen, came in from the jungle, moved slowly across the stone floor and lay down with its head resting on my feet. I was not frightened in the least. I felt that it would do me no harm. I put my hand down and softly stroked the back of its neck. From that day on, whenever I went to the old temple, the same cobra would silently creep in and lie down at my feet. “T gave him the name of Bob on account of a peculiar motion he made with his head. Months pass- ed; I became so engrossed in the Yogi’s teachings that I neglected my social duties as the governor’s wife more and more. I had reached the point where I could not bear the regular routine of dinners, re- ceptions, and the openings of in- stitutions and charities. “T felt I had nothing in common with the empty-headed women that came to show off their dress or with the men in their resplendent uni- forms. My husband protested again and again. I made efforts to fit in with his wishes but it was no use; my thoughts always went back te the ruined Hindu temple and the feel of the cobra lying on my feet. “One afternoon the Yogi ab- ruptly announced that the time had come when I was to leave India and return to Engand. “‘Tmpossible,’ I said. ‘We have only been here four years. My hus- band will never abandon his poli- tical ambitions. Besides, he has grown more accustomed to my in- difference to his social engagements lately. He does not even protest when I keep to my own rooms.’

Page 64

66 “The old man shook his head. “You are quite wrong, my child. You do not understand the world and its ways. The Governor will very short- ly announce his resignation. I can see you on a steamer returning home.’ “But how can I leave Bob?’ I asked. “You will not leave him,’ he answered. ‘You will take him with you to London. He is interwoven with your Fate, even if he must be your undoing.’ “A few weeks later my husband announced he had sent in his resig- nation; we would leave by the next P. & O. liner from Bombay. “‘Vour decision seems very sud- den,’ I said. “‘No,’ he replied. ‘I have con- templated it for months.’ “Reaching the ruined temple that afternoon I was surprised to find that the Yogi had a wicker basket for Bob —the snake was already in it, sleeping peacefully as if pre- pared to go. “<T will take him to the boat,’ the old man said. ‘You will have no difficulty if you keep him in your stateroom.’ “A week later we sailed. My hus- band had engaged two separate cabins. I found the wicker basket on my couch. It was padlocked and the key was in an envelope ad- dressed to me. When I opened it Bob put his head out, gently rub- FATE bing it against my hand, at the same time emitting a curious low sound which he always did when contented or happy. “My husband never came to my stateroom although he was always courteous and attentive when we met for meals or walked on the deck together. He knew nothing about Bob until we passed through Customs on the Thames. Then, as I unlocked the basket and Bob stuck his head out, he started back in surprise, but recovering himself said, ‘Tame, of course?’ I nodded and nothing more was said. “At the hotel where we again had separate rooms I released Bob from his captivity. Slowly uncoiling from the basket he stretched at full length on the couch. His gaze fol- lowed me wherever I went in the room. Meanwhile he made the low sound that meant he was happy. “T did not see my husband till the next evening at dinner. He had been out, he said, finding a flat for me and had decided on one in Ken- sington, overlooking Hyde Park. “T asked, ‘where will you stay?’ “<T)o not trouble about me,’ he answered. ‘I am going up to the north of England to my own peo- ple there. I am tired of the political life, so intend to go into business.’ “<But,’ I stammered, ‘are we not to live together again?’ “ “My dear,’ he smiled, ‘we never have lived together!’

E.. LADY WETHERBY’S SNAKE-LOVER Sa 67 “The next day I moved over to the Kensington flat with Bob and my maid as my only companions. Sir Henry came in once to see that I was comfortable. He left London the next day and I have not seen him since, although that was two years ago now. I am quite happy in my own way. I can do what I like, go where I like. I do not have to be pleasant to other women or flat- ter men who bore me. My greatest pleasure is to go every day to the’ Zoo to feed the animals or pass hours in the serpent house. “Bob has grown to be a full- sized cobra and, although it may seem unnatural, I absolutely love that creature as I never loved any- thing in my life before. Yet, I do want a man friend, someone who understands me and to whom I can at times express my thoughts. I do not want a lover.” She stretched her hands across the table to mine. “Will you be my friend?” she asked. “Will you come and see me from time to time?” There was such a lonely, pleading look in her eyes I could not refuse. A few days later I rang the bell at Lady Wetherby’s flat. She wel- comed me warmly and even Bob did not appear to resent my pre- sence. I became a weekly visitor there. Then one day I read a sensation- al story in the newspapers. It ap- peared that a man and his wife who had the flat above Lady Wether- by’s, coming home late at night from the theatre, had met a large cobra coiled round the banisters of the staircase leading to their apartment. The wife screamed and fainted as her hand came in con- tact with the head of the snake, which apparently had been fast asleep. The occupants of the other flats rushed out on the land- ings. Police whistles were blown. In the general consternation Lady Wetherby appeared in her door and Bob crawled quietly back into her rooms. Unusual pets like snakes are looked upon askance in respectable flats in London. Lady Wetherby’s landlord insisted on her leaving at once. Not caring to risk a re- petition of the incident, she took a house with a garden for Bob. A few weeks later London society read with astonishment that Gen- eral Sir Henry Wetherby had ap- plied to the Courts for an annulment of his marriage, giving as the rea- son that it never had been consum- _mated.»Lady Wetherby did not enter any opposition and in time the Courts pronounced the marriage annulled. In a few months Sir Henry married again—this time a widow. OLLOWING THIS I was absent - on a lecture tour in America

Page 66

68 ¢ fer several years, On my return, one morning I found a note from Lady Wetherby which ran as fol- lows: “My dear friend: I have read that you are back in London. I am very ill; do come to me as soon as possible.” I went that afternoon to the house she had taken on the Chelsea Embankment. As I was expected, I was taken at once to her bedroom on the second floor. There I started back in horror at her appearance. This once beautiful woman was now reduced to a mere shadow of skin and bones. I could almost see through the white hands she stretched out to welcome me. Al- though it was a hot afternoon in June, two eiderdown quilts were failing to keep her warm. The snake lay by her side the full length of her body and close to it, as if trying to give her some of its life. It also seemed to be dying. White scales every now and then closed over its glittering eyes. Tt was a horrible sight that will live forever in my memory. Speaking slowly but very dis- tinctly, she said, “My friend, you ~ have come but barely in time; this ilInesss commenced about a year ago — just a wasting away, no pain; T have had the best doctors in Lon- don but they failed to arrest what- ever this malady may be. One and all have given up my case as hope- FATE less. I am alone here except for my companion, Miss Willowby, who has devoted herself to me day and night. I cannot last long now. Something tells me that the end will come soon—perhaps before morning. “T know I can depend on you to carry out my wishes. There is no one else who can do what I want done. Promise me that you will do whatever it is that I am going to ask.” I took her hands in mine. “My dear friend,” I said, “I will carry out your desires.” “T know,” she continued, “that Bob will not live after I am gone. When I am dead I want you to take him away, put him to death pain- lessly by gas, cremate his body, cremate mine also, put our two ashes together and throw the urn far out at sea. Promise me this,” she now could only whisper, “and maybe in our next incarnation we will meet again.” “JT promise,” I answered. “I will do exactly as you ask.” She sank back on the pillows and for a few moments hardly seemed to breathe. Miss Willowby came in. I told her I would come back in the morning at 9:00 o’clock and left the room. The next morning I returned. Miss Willowby met me at the door. There was no need for her to tell me that it was all over. The Angel

LADY WETHERBY’S SNAKE-LOVER 69 of Death made his presence felt all through the house: We went upstairs to the bedroom. The windows were open; the fra- grant air of the June morning stir- red the lilies lying at the feet of a Buddha by the side of the bed. I shuddered when I thought of my promise to take the snake away. Bob was lying in the same position as I last saw him, with his head on her shoulder. As I approached the bed I noticed the white scales were drawn like curtains over his eyes. There was no occasion for me to be anxious about my dreaded task. Bob also had died during the night. I put his body in the wicker basket and had it cremated. Lady Wetherby’s body was cremated also. Following her wishes to the letter, we placed the ashes of both together. A few days later Miss Willowby and I took a boat at Southampton and threw the urn containing the ashes as far out as we could into the sea. a CRISIS AT THE FAIRY MOUND By Raymond C. Otto T THE town of Wexford, Ireland, one day in May, 1958, some men from the state electricity board began digging a hole in a little mound for erection of a light pole. As soon as the townspeople saw what was happening they told the men that no light pole ever would stay put in that par- ticular spot. The mound, they explained, was a fairy rath and everyone in Ireland knows that fairies who live in such raths resent being disturbed. The electricity men just scoff- ed and finished the hole. They popped in the pole and care- fully tamped the earth back in around it. The next morning the pole was loose. “It was the little peo- ple,” the Wexford folks said, shaking their heads. The workmen came back and reset the pole, but the next morning it was loose again. Then the scientific-minded elec- tricity men dug a hole six feet wide, put the pole in the middle and rammed the earth around it so firmly they were certain nothing could shake it. The fol- lowing morning the pole was as loose as ever. Finally the electricity men gave up. They dug another hole four feet outside the rath and set the pole there. It is still standing and is as steady as a rock.

What is this strange, bl opinions as to its identity ar photographers By Harlan Wehon Paty ACCOMPANYING photograph has been variously called an authentic UFO photograph, a blurry mess that doesn’t show anything, and “one of the most sensational photographs of the 20th Century.” The photograph and the accom- panying analysis of it are published here through the courtesy of four persons — Frank Edwards; Norbert Gariety, editor and publisher of SPACE; C. W. Fitch of Cleveland, Ohio, who obtained the photograph for us, and the editor of the news- paper Wiener Montag, of Vienna, Austria, where it first appeared. At 1:30 A.M., March 2, 1960, Edgar Schedelbauer of the Wiener Montag staff was returning from a visit with his elderly father at Wil- don in the district of Leibnitz near the Yugoslav border. He was riding his motorcycle be- tween Labuttendorf and St. Viet am Vogau when he perceived a bright glowing object above the forest. It was obviously rotating and, as Schedelbauer watched it, crossed a

When about 50 feet above the ground it suddenly stopped. Schedelbauer let his motorcycle fall into the ditch beside the road, grabbed his camera, which he was carrying on a shoulder strap, and took the accompanying photograph. The object hovered within sight for six or seven seconds. It seemed milky-white and Sched- elbauer described it as looking like a “giant spider.” He could feel heat coming from it. Suddenly the object darkened. What had been a low humming noise changed to a deep throated, jet-like roar, and the UFO disappeared in the direction of Radkersburg. Schedelbauer later was questioned closely but stuck to his story. “The camera is my witness,” he said. “Besides, I felt the heat. For three days great red spots showed on my face and hands, but they neither itched nor hurt.” The meteorological station of Vienna said that the object could not have been a balloon nor any other meteorological instrument, nor ball lightning, nor a meoteor.

Drawing is based on study of clues in photo, which is said to indicate slow shutter speed. Object is de- duced to have been rotating and rising, as well as having a lateral oscillation. Allowing for blurred outlines produced by these motions, familiar UFO shape is arrived at. R. GARTETY and Mr. Edwards, both experienced photograph- ers, have drawn on their profes- sional knowledge to verify the au- thenticity of this photograph. Gariety has been a professional photographer for 13 years, two of these years in newspaper photog- raphy. He has deduced that the photo was taken at a rather slow shutter speed. Though the exact speed is not known, Gariety assumes it to be 1/50th of a second. “Second, the object was rotating,” Gariety says, “and at the same time going upward. Depending on its speed, during the time the shutter was open it could have moved up- ward anywhere from five to 15 or more feet. “This being the case, then we would have a sharp outline at the top of the object, and a blurred, hazy and somewhat weaker expos- ure at the bottom. If the lights were concentrated on portions of the lower structure of the object, and rotating, then we would natur- ally get blurred fingers of light, extending from the bottom of the object due to the movement. “Now suppose we cover up most of the lower portion of the UFO, that part representing the light in motion effect: Now we have one of the distinctly familiar saucer-shaped objects that has been seen and

PHOTOGRAPHERS ANALYZE UFO PICTURE 73 photographed the world over on numerous occasions. “So in view of the circumstances, Mr. Schedelbauer’s previous lack of knowledge on the subject, and the photographic analysis, we can come to only one conclusion, and that is the same as the editorial staff of the Wiener Montag. “The photograph is legitimate, no fake, one of the most sensational photographs of the 20th Century.” Frank Edwards has expanded on Gariety’s analysis, based upon his 30 years of experience with photog- raphy — movies, trick photography, aerials and miniatures are all cover- ed in Edwards’s experience. He confirms Gariety’s points. “The photograph appears to have been taken at a relatively slow shutter speed, perhaps 1/50th of a second. The object was rotat- ing at an unknown rate and rising at an unknown speed. This would give a sharper outline of the object in the direction of its movement (upward in this case) and a some- what blurry outline on the lower edges.” main © Edwards then adds these conclu- sions: “Keeping in mind the original description of the object as glowing white, therefore highly photogenic, a close look at the picture indicates a lateral oscillation, visible on both sides of the lower fringe as a gray- ish blur at the extreme edges on the outside. This means that the pro- nounced bulges on top of the ob- ject were in reality somewhat less pronounced, having been exagger- ated by the lateral motion. “The dark finger projecting into the object from the bottom center of the picture shows that it was rotating to the right, or counter- clockwise, as it rose. The length of the dark blur and its general con- formation show that the white ‘fingers’ themselves are misshapen by the rising, turning motion and the lateral oscillation.” By working backward through the clues in the picture, Edwards gets an original shape like the ac- companying drawing. Obviously it is a conventional and familiar UFO shape. oe CLUBBED BY CHANCE URING a pinochle game W.

ESPANTO ZAPOTECS DREAD CURSE OF THE A strange illness struck Jose. The Indians said it was Espanto—and that only magic could save his life. ty Henry ay See fh a THE BASE of Oaxaca’s holy mountain, Monte Alban, lies the serenely peaceful village of Xoxo. The peace of this small In- dian community is rarely disturbed —except during an occasional Es- panto when angry gods send devil forces upon the earth to punish an individual or a whole tribe. One of Mexico’s best known his- torians and anthropologists, a fac- ulty member of the University of Guanojuato, has told this story of Jose Lopez’ Espanto. The people of Xoxo seldom make concessions to modern life or to new ideas which would change their sacred ways of living. Guadelupe Lopez, born 28 years ago in one of the small adobe houses on the out- skirts of this historic pueblo knows the gods’ wrath and penalties. He 74 has remained faithful to the cus- toms and traditions of his Zapotec tribe. As Guadelupe tends his father’s field he uses the same prim- itive tools his ancestors worked with many generations ago. Yet, he knows more about maize and the mysterious cycles of plant life than do most graduates from modern agricultural colleges. He reveres and respects nature and recognizes the forces which sus- tain him and his field. When angry storm clouds send down crop-kill- . ing hail, or when a drought brings clouds of insects to eat his grain he knows what evil powers express their anger. The Catholic Church, to which his ancestors were converted by Spanish missionaries, denies the ex- istence of such powers. It considers

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Henry J. Santon has contributed articles to a variety of American and European publications. Born in Austria in 1913, he came to the U. S. A. in 1938. He served for five years with the U S. Counter Intelligence Corps in Germany, and was awarded the Purple Heart, two Bronze Stars and several citations. He recently received a Master’s de- gree in English and Literature from Los Angeles State College. it sinful to believe in anything but the One God. Yet, after every brief Sunday service, the people of Xoxo practice their own ancient rituals. Their helpless priest patiently ad- monishes his congregation, believ- ing that only time can rid his flock of their superstitious beliefs. When the Espanto struck Jose, Guadelupe’s younger brother, the priest’s prayers and those of the family proved worthless. Old Sen- ora Lopez ordered an expensive patent medicine from a mail order house in Mexico City but even this wonder drug, said to cure all ex- ternal and internal disorders, did not break the Espanto. The Catholic priest, a gentle and most patient man in ordinary cir- cumstances, seemed to lose his con- trol whenever he heard the omin- ous word Espanto. Trying to ex- plain Jose’s sudden illness as an ordinary pesedilla, or nightmare, he pounded his fist on the table as he angrily denied the reality of spells and curses. But Jose’s condition went from bad to worse. The slightest noise gave him the jitters. Normally he had a good appetite, but now he found it difficult to eat his tor- tillas. He became so frightened of the dark that Guadelupe had to be with him every single moment. Calm contemplation, one of the gifts handed down by the Zapotecs to every member of their tribe, had suddenly left Jose’s mind and body. Over night he had turned into a frightened possessed creature. Afraid of nature, of his own people, and even of his gentle donkey, he began to hear voices, which no one else could hear. His tortured nerves

Page 74

76 made him imagine that Pinto, the neighbor’s old dog, was a vicious jaguar; and the glorious skyline of the sacred mountain became an image of Cocijo, the God of Rain. At times Jose broke ito heated argument with himself or people he imagined to be present. To Guade- lupe these monologues made no sense at first, but as he paid more attention to his brother’s verbal defenses it became clear that Jose was talking about some intruders who had attempted to defile the sacred mountain. A team of archeologists from Mexico’s University had come to Xoxo several months before in- tent on excavating a presumedly buried city. They set to work hop- ing by digging to separate myth from historical fact. Most villagers resented their intrusion. Some felt called upon to defend the resting places of their ancestors. While the people of Xoxo discussed this interference with their privacy, a group of radicals took the matter: into their own hands. Who actually ambushed the group of scientists, nearly killing one, remained a se- cret, even to the people of Xoxo. The Mexican Government made an attempt to discover the ringleaders but could not uncover the slightest evidence. Scholars on Indian culture were sent to Xoxo to explain the importance of these excavations. In describing the advanced culture FATE and civilization of the early Zapo- tecs, they hoped to win the vil- lagers’ confidence. The town elders listened patient- ly but when their spokesman ex- pressed their own philosophy, that civilizations were mere stepping stones in man’s search for deeper spiritual insight, the experts were baffled and speechless. Trained in their field, they were completely unprepared to wage philosophical warfare. As Guadelupe listened to his brother’s ravings, he wondered if Jose had taken it upon himself to become the instrument of the Gods’ revenge? Guadelupe recognized a twofold danger. If Jose was per- mitted to go on with his self in- duced frenzy it would be only a matter of days before his identity became known. Shielding him from the law would be difficult and dan- gerous. And even assuming this could be done, how long could Jose endure the physical strain of his torture? Jose’s kinfolk suggested a call on the gobeche huina, the local med- icine man, whose potions of herbs and roots had silenced many pains in the past. The old parents, will- ing to try anything found Guade- lupe so fiercely opposed to this that they began to wonder how much Jose’s Espanto already had influ- enced their older son. Pained to add to the grief of his

All agreed that something had to be done very soon to save Jose’s life. They reconstructed many times the chores Jose had performed the day the Espanto had struck. It was not difficult to determine what he ate and drank. They even recalled what the weather was like, but nothing out of the ordinary came to their attention to eas his sudden change. It was Guadelupe who broke the silence. Looking at his suffering brother, shivering under a heavy zarape in spite of the stifling heat, he got up from his mat and put his hand on Jose’s shoulder. “Pll take him to the benihucua- gua tonight,” he announced to his startled family. The benihucuagua, an ancient seer, lived by himself in the hills, isolated even from his own people. On rare occasions when he came to the village the people of Xoxo avoided him. Mothers even called their youngsters to come indoors; but he did not seem to mind the distance they kept from him. The weatherbeaten old man’s emaciated frame defied any guess as to his age. It was common knowledge that many of the villagers and even strangers from far off communities visited his primitive cave but not . one had ever talked about his visit. The people of Xoxo seemed to ig- nore the old man’s existence. Nobody knows for sure in what period the benihucuaguas started their mysterious practice of com- municating with spirits known only to them. It must be assumed, how- ever, that people had provided for their livelihood long before our Christian era. One could almost sense the fam- ily’s relief as Guadelupe suggested this last and final step. Even Jose, whose mind had wandered off to strange and far away places, looked up. For a moment his red’ rimmed eyes seemed to plead with his fam- ily, who already had silently ap- proved. As Guadelupe got himself and Jose ready for the long walk their mother filled a small sack with provisions for the old seer. A gen- erous slice of smoked meat to- gether with beans, onions and pep- pers was all they could offer the mystical healer for helping their kin. Only faint nods of their heads served as goodbye when the two sons set out into the lengthening evening shadows. They walked quietly through the village without meeting any one. Calmly following the brisk pace of his brother Jose inhaled the cou] evening air; his arms hung at his sides. He was completely unaware that Guadelupe occasionally glanced

Page 76

78 at him, wondering whether it was the fresh air or the prospect of help that made him seem more relaxed. The dirt road led them over gentle slopes into hilly country where mounds and boulders tested their sure-footedness. From some- - where over the hills came the dis- tant baying of dogs guarding cat- tle homeward bound. Overhead a lonesome, hungry hawk circled the sky defying the twilight and sanc- tity of the approaching night. The brothers moved like two silhouettes through the early night until their trained eyes saw in the distance the faint flicker of light which was their destination. As they approached the hermit’s dwelling, part shack, part cave, gradually came into focus. The old man sat near the entrance. He did not lift his eyes from the flickering flames. A slight nod of his head, ac- companied by a gutteral sound, was the only welcome he extended to the two brothers. No words were exchanged or necessary. Jose fol- lowed the old Indian into his dwell- ing. Guadelupe remained outside, occasionally feeding a dry twig to the small fire. The seer led Jose to an oddly shaped block of wood and motioned him to sit down. A pleasant, faint- ly spicy odor filled the sparcely furnished room. A number of earth- en bowls were stacked on a primi- tive table which took up one wall. FATE The opposite wall was covered with several big ceramic vessels. The dim light obscured the details of the fresco decorations on the pot- tery but intensified the weird and gruesome look of a huge green mask hanging on the wall. Its tre- mendous headdress immediately identified it as Cocijo, the God of Rain, whose greenish hue symbol-- izes that most precious liquid, blood. The benihucuagua removed his stained zarape. His once white, homespun shirt draped his thin body loosely and gave him a ghost- ly appearance. From underneath his mat he brought out a branch of leaves and began to wave these ritualistically as soft and soothing tranquilizers, before Jose’s face. The old man’s penetrating eyes found and held those of his patient. After a moment of silence the old seer began to speak. His power of concentration arrested Jose’s rambling mind at that point where the oppressed feeling had overcome him on that ominous day. As in a trance Jose related how his sleep had turned into a torture and how he had struggled during that night to fight off forces he could not identify. From that nocturnal ex- perience, he went back verbally into his past, relating his thoughts and feelings toward his family and his community, revealing a deep rooted uncertainty. His conscience, torn between two forces, was un-

ESPANTO — DREAD CURSE OF THE ZAPOTECS 79 decided which god to serve. For a long time his monotonous voice flowed uninterruptedly to the rhythmical sway of the ritualistic fan. When Jose finally stopped talk- ing, the seer got up from his crouched position and reached for a bottle-shaped container. In a loud, distinct voice he called Jose’s name into the narrow open- ing. Then he placed the bottle to Jose’s ear so that he could hear the echo coming from the hollow jar. Then, putting his hand on Jose’s forehead, the benihucuagua firmly declared that Jose’s soul had returned to his body, that the spell was broken. Reciting some ancient phrases in the tradition of the Za- potecs, he tapped his patient gently on the shoulder and stepped outside to allow Jose to awaken gradually. It was past midnight when the two brothers returned to their vil- lage. Now happily Jose was no long- er afraid of the dark. Relaxed but tired, he greeted his old parents who had stayed up to pray for his recovery. To whom they had prayed remains as much a secret as the benihucuagua’s method and power of breaking Espantos. Sie SIGNALS FROM A TEST-TUBE BRAIN GROUP of scientists at the medical branch of the Uni- versity of Texas recently an- nounced having received elec- trical signals for as long as two weeks from pieces of chick embryo brain tissue kept alive in glass tubes. The achievement is believed to be the first in which brain signals have been received from tissue maintain- ed in a completely artificial medium. The research was reported by Drs. Alastair W. B. Cunning- ham, Marshall Daughtery and Billy J. Rylander. They stated that the success of their ex- periment was made possible by the discovery of the exact com- bination of ingredients neces- sary to make synthetie tissue fluids correspond to natural ones. The signals they received were described as_ step-like combinations of positive and negative electrical pulses last- ing from a half to one-and-a- half seconds. They were “not unlike signals generated in the whole brain,’ said Dr. Cun- ningham, 37. Scientists hope the new re- search will make it possible to map out the functional de- velopment of the brain and re- veal precisely when and in what structures electrical ac- tivity first appears and how it spreads throughout the tis- sue.

Can light be shed on them by the psychoanalytical approach? ty Vendor =e ie alyst because they are not well adjusted to the demands of life. They cannot handle their conflicts, cannot use their talents to the great- est advantage. They suffer from fears, phobias and guilt feelings. They develop mental and physical symptoms. They defend their ego with fantasies, by suppression, re- pression and projection. They sub- limate or develop escape mechan- isms of many kinds. If the patient is a Spiritualist, the psychoanalyst finds himself in a territory almost totally unexplored by his profession. He is nonplussed ATIENTS COME to a psychoan- - 80 by evidence of physical phenomena he has never encountered before, and he is startled by a variety of subjective (mental) phenomena of which, at best, only telepathy and clairvoyance are in any way fa- miliar. As far as mental phenomena are concerned, the predominant ques- tion in the psychoanalyst’s mind is: what is the role of the medium’s or agent’s unconscious mind in all this? He cannot seriously consider the cause of a mediumistic message as being a “discarnate intelligence” un- til he has tested every other ex-

THE AUTHOR A. practicing — psychoanalyst in New-York City, Dr. Nandor Fodor also is a noted psy- chic researcher. He is the author of nine books, ‘the latest. being On the Trail of the Poltergeist and The Haunt- ed Mind, He is a member. of the \New York Academy of Sciencés, the American Psy- chological Assn. and the Na- tional Psychological Assn. He also is on the editorial boards of Psychoanalysis and the Psy- choanalytic Review: planatory function of the subcon- scious mind. Only after that could he consider the possibility of sur- vival of human personality after death —at least as a working hy- pothesis. The problem of physical phenom- ena is quite another matter. Un- known bio-physiological powers of the human organism may some day explain them. There are mysteries of the mind, mysteries of the body, mysteries of the body-and-mind and mysteries arising from the Cosmos in which 81 our human life is immersed. Spiritualism, for example, is only one system of interpretation —a way of looking at the phenomena. In my opinion it is as biased and stubborn as psychoanalysis often is. But it is positive in the sense that it has organized and kept alive the belief in and the study of ancient mysteries. ; The outstanding contribution of Spiritualism to psychoanalytic ther- apy is the help its believers receive in conquering their fear of death, in banishing suicidal desires and in

Page 80

82 revitalizing religious faith by a new belief in God and immortality. Not only do Spiritualists get a new lease on life from their belief but they also are provided with guid- ance on a highly moral and ethical basis for the conduct of everyday life. They find a bridge from a ma- terialistic to a spiritual concept of life and the system satisfies the archaic cravings of their psyche by putting an end to their isolation and loneliness in the universe. By using man’s gregarious instinct and by opening vistas of cosmic useful- ness after death, Spiritualism pro- vides a better answer to human needs than other existing systems of religion, philosophy and scien- tific inquiry. Hence, as a system of healing Spiritualism can count on the stamp of approval of many psy- choanalysts. ee NEXT approach to Spiritual- ism is the investigation of the strange personalities of those per- sons who call themselves mediums. Do they belong to the ordinary run of neurotics or psychotics and, if so, does this affect the phenomenal issue? Are they intermediaries — as the word medium suggests — be- tween two planes of existence or is their claimed communion with the spirits of the dead a mechanism of escape from reality? A reincarnation fantasy may bol- FATE ster ego feelings with “memories” of a greater life in the past, and thus give support in the _tribula- tions of the present existence. A mediumistic fantasy may sublimate a sense of inadequacy by mission- ary service, in which case the medi- umistic function works as an auto- suggestion for self-therapy. The complicating factor is the state of trance. In what ways is trance distinguishable from normal sleep, hypnotic sleep, drug-induced states, religious ecstasy or cosmic consciousness? Is the entranced medium ruled by his own unconscious alone or does he act as a receiving station for the unconscious of others with varying ranges of sensitivity? Is he in an altered state of personality, or is he possessed by another mind whether in the body, discarnate or purely phantasmagorical? Are the spirit controls (guides) a new type of secondary personali- ty, created by the mass suggestion of the mediumistic developing circle or are they entities in the class of the Daemon of Socrates, the Devil of Cromwell, the familiars of witches, or the Jungian archetypes of the Mysterious Fellow Traveller or the Guardian Angel of religion? Is there a possibility that the human psyche, in a parthenogenetic fashion similar to the division of the cells, may give birth to another, junior self? In the light of this

Page 81

PSYCHIC PHENOMENA AND THE PSYCHOANALYST 83 query, are split or multiple person- alities strictly morbid or are they evolutionary manifestations of an unsuspected human potential? The mediumistic message itself presents a number of fascinating problems, whether it comes through trance, clairvoyance, clairaudience, table turning, crystal gazing, auto- matic writing or painting. A mes- sage which is not evidential for the sitter, hence not even of telepathic origin, may reveal the contents of the medium’s own unconscious. The gibberish called speaking in Red Indian or other outlandish tongues may be decipherable in the same manner as strange words cre- ated in dreams yield their secrets to the psychoanalytic association pro- cess. What is the essential difference between a medium and a non-medi- um? In the few cases in which I have had the good fortune to psychoan- alyze mediums, I found nothing unique to their unconscious. Non- mediums can have experiences that mediums consider their special pre- serve. * I do not consider myself psychic but I have had telepathic dreams with my patients; recorded precog- nitive experiences also in dreams; had cosmic visions in mescaline stupor; heard a ghost chorus over the Bay of Biscaye at dead of night; was awakened, together with my SOME “SUPERNORMAL” MYSTERIES Among the physiological and mental mysteries that human beings constantly encounter, Dr. Fodor fists the following: Fire walking Claimed cases of savage magic Scarless wounding and hibernation of buried Indian fakirs Water divining Hypnotic feats Production of lights by the body Production of perfumes or stenches by the body Stigmatic wounds and the visions of religious ecstatics Speaking in tongues during religious revivals Miraculous healings at shrines Weeping madonnas Curses and spells for destruction Fanaticism for achieving Knockings around the beds of the sick or dying Coincidences beyond statistical probability Factors of good luck or misfortune in destiny “Spirit guides” or “guardian angels’ Mental prodigies, genius, inspiration, insanity Illumination (experiences under mes- caline, Sysergic acid and other drugs) Death-bed visions The extraordinary tales of those who died but were medically revived wife, by the “ghost” of my ban- ished dog to whom we felt exceed- ingly guilty; had a strange auditory experience in Maidenhead on the shore of the Thames after the most frightful electric storm I ever lived through, and I heard my grand-

Page 82

84 father speak from his coffin in the - cemetery when, as a small child, I was scampering up and down a ladder that leaned against the ceme- tery wall. These experiences cover a life- time. The scarcity of them is the best argument against calling my- self clair-sentient or clair-audient. ._ Nor am I clairvoyant because, in - addition, I have had what are called monitions of approach. One reads of short-range, travel- ling, X-ray clairvoyance or psy- chometry (which I am tempted to call historic clairvoyance), but this classification is incomplete. Non- mediumistic varieties are also in ex- istence. I would call geodesic clair- voyance the sensing in advance of earthquakes, the reaction of dowsers to underground water, oil and min- erals and the strange barometric pre- monitions of people well ahead of, er contrary to, meteorological fore- casts. There is also the inventor’s clair- voyance. Nicola Tesla had a vision in his mind of the motor that, for the first time, transformed alternat- ing current into direct current and laid the foundation for the electric power industry. Horace Goldin per- sonally told me that his magical tricks were presented to him in dreams. One may have visions of the liv- ing or of the dead without being a medium. Some people claim to see FATE fairies, elementals, Dwellers on the Threshold or the Devil. Grindell Matthews, who invented a death ray, claimed to hear sounds below the normal auditory level and came with me to haunted Ash Manor House to act as a sonic detector of ghostly presences —if any. Dogs hear in the supersonic range. Some people may see into the ultra-violet band of light, like ants. If extra-sensory perception is E.S.P., there should be an E. Ph. A. for extra-physiological ability. Rob- ert James Lee, a pensioner of Queen Victoria tracked down Jack the Ripper by sniffing at his trail like a dog. I had two secretaries who could recognize people, and sense their qualities, by their smell. Instances exist in which people smelt death before the event, some- times at a distance in the form of olfactory, telepathic hallucination based on precognition or on actual decomposition which may begin hours before death. This probably explains the death howl of dogs. And there well may be an odor of sanctity and of evil, as claimed in religious literature. Blind persons develop a kind of radar like bats and use their fingers for a kind of tactile clairvoyance. Some other persons have an orien- tating ability similar to that of migratory birds in earthly space (as an opposite to clairvoyant roam- ing through the etheric expanse,

Page 83

PSYCHIC PHENOMENA AND THE PSYCHOANALYST 85 and there have been electric girls and magnetic men whose feats also stretch into the extra-physiological range. All this is no argument against similar or other strange things that mediums can do. It is rather in sup- port of claims of still greater medi- umistic mysteries. Levitation of the human body counteracts gravitation in an unknown manner. The nearest understanding we have comes from the semi-levitation of famous dancers. But their technique does not give us a know-how for prac- tical application. The future of economic space travel may depend on this secret. Think of materialization and ecto- plasm, that mysterious formative material from which phantom shapes appear to be built in a dark seance room. It issues from the human body and returns into it. Hence, materialization can aptly be called a somatic dissociation. Tele- kinesis and poltergeist activities re- veal a projection of neural energy. Fire resistance is somatic invul- nerability similar to scarless wound- ing and the hibernation of fakirs. Piero Cassoli calls attention, in his study of the fire walk, to rapid epidermal modification. While this appears to be a fact and is sup- ported by the cool sensation of the fire walkers, it does not explain why their stockings do not burn. It is necessary to postulate some insulat- ing element between the fire and the fire-walkers but, as is often the case, we gain nothing by speculative descriptions. One could consider apports as objectified messages from the un- conscious as I did in the case of the Chelsea and the Thornton Heath Poltergeists. The alternative to teleportation is ambulatory am- nesia. Spatial amnesia might be a better term but new names do not help to unravel mysteries. Prepos- terous as Charles Fort’s presumption is that teleportation is Nature’s way of making a new distribution, a per- sistent study of psychic phenomena is bound to drive one to the con- clusion that there is an occasional interplay of cosmic energies with human affairs which, through the unconscious as a receiving or trans- mitting station, plays blindman’s buff with us. We do not have any terms to define it, but we can find wonderful words for the lesser mys- teries. Psychic photography is “pic- torial projection;” “dermography” (letters or impressions appearing on the human skin) is obviously a form of stigmatism. N™ HERE is where psychiatric “explanations” may enter this picture. They “explain” what may be going on in terms of human mo- tivations. They “explain” why the particular psychic accomplishment took the particular form that it did.

Page 84

86 But they do not “explain” how such things can happen. For instance, elongation of the human body may well be symbolic of a desire to increase mental stat- ure; psychic lights and perfumes must obviously result from the body chemistry; the dropping of tem- perature in the seance room during physical phenomena must be a phy- siological form of heat conversion but calling it such does not make it more comprehensible. Does the psychological “escape motive” offer any explanation? All spiritual yearnings produce escape fantasies. After my stupen- dous mescaline visions I implored Dr. Hubert, a fellow analyst who drove me home, never to give me the drug again, no matter how persist- ently I would ask for it because I would not want to live in this world any longer if I could live through the blissful visions and awareness that appeared to be millions of years ahead of our times. Astral projection, visions of one’s own double may well be escapes from material bonds, teleportation from the trammels of space; while materialization or transfiguration would help us to escape from our body image. But the motive is only a small part of such stories and of no great help. Haunted houses are saturated with the projected mem- ories of the dead but how do these memories persist and how are they FATE activated into visibility? Again, just as there are wonders this side of Spiritualism, so there are some beyond it. Rain making is a discredited department of say- age magic but a study of Ronald Rose’s accounts is of intense psy- chological interest because of the implied cosmic participation. The belief in shape-shifting or changing into animals is also dead wood for us, but it is intensely alive among primitives. It is an escape from the human level and it may well be the means of satisfying, by the sexual orgies that are often associated with it, the basest desires of the Freudian Id without incurring a feeling of guilt, also providing enactment of an archaic desire for power by the murderous ferocity of wild beasts. But that does not explain every- thing. We know what happens when a savage, in a ritual orgy, is said to be changed into an animal; but what happens when an animal ap- pears in a materialization seance? Are we facing an archaic regres- sion, a protean need to return to a long-abandoned form of biological organization which suggests a dis- turbing parallellism with Freud’s death instinct on a racial scale — or do we take a plunge into the Anima Mundi where, living or dead, animals may have as legitimate place of existence as human beings? Animal materializations do not represent the only direction from

Page 85

PSYCHIC PHENOMENA AND THE PSYCHOANALYST 87 which we arrive at a protean prob- lem. The miraculous restoration of wasted benes and cancer-destroyed tissue at Lourdes are signal post for the same bewildering consider- ation. Ectoplasmic phenomena may well point the way, at some future date, to successful body-restoration by re-binding the radiated energies and substances. The protean faculty that is thus indicated may have power over time because the somatic changes in mir- aculous healings are characterized by instantaneity. If the ability has power over time, why not over space? Apports and the passing of matter through matter may be understood through such an ap- proach. If any prophet was ever lifted up (and disappeared) by “the Spirit of the Lord,” the key to tele- portation must also reside in the human psyche. Mind Over Space (the prelimin- ary title of my new, impending book) may sound like a catch phrase but mysterious disappearances of human beings have been reported throughout the ages. The appear- ance of some of these people else- where in a dazed and near-psychotic state, at the same moment, is no greater test of credibility than oth- er wonders of parapsychology. Will it help to invest this pro- tean power with four-dimensional attributes? Perhaps. At least it permits us a wonderful famtasy: a surgeon operating through the fourth dimension within the human body without cutting it open. No one can set the limit to the healing powers of the human body and the mysterious operation of the human _ psyche. Human survival is a vastly im- portant problem but it is not the only thing that will work a revolu- tion in human life. We must conclude that neither Spiritualism nor psychoanalysis is capable of solving the multitudinous problems of psychic phenomena. From the contribution of each, ultimately a total view of man and his function in the Cosmos may emerge. However, the final answer may not be.found in the objective or subjective nature of things and phenomena observed — not even in demonstrated cases of human sur- vival. Vastly important as Survival is, at present it leaves the mystery of the human personality unsolved; it only carries the human problem one stage beyond. Perhaps this beyond is the threshold of a many-dimen- sional state of existence of which we do not have a glimmer of under- standing today.

PP PIPI IOS THE GREAT PARADE NE OF THE. strangest stories of Civil War days was related by Nevyle Shackel- ford in The Lexington (Ky.) Leader. The story, he wrote, was based on an old, yellowed newspaper clipping furnished by Elmer Little of Mt. Sterling. On the afternoon of October 1, 1868, Moses Dwyer, along with members of his family and a group of Union soldiers who had stopped for a drink of water, sat on the front porch of his mountain top home dis- cussing the course of the war. The weather was hot and dry. The sky was cloudless and not even a breeze stirred. Suddenly one of the group on the porch gasped and point- ed at the sky. Over the tops of the adjacent hills appeared an immense number of “rolls,” which were described as re- sembling cotton or smoke and being about the size and shape of doors. In perfect order the mysteri- ous objects passed swiftly through the sky, directly above the amazed witnesses on the mountain top. They were so numerous that more than an hour was required for them to pass. Dwyer and his guests were €ven more amazed when sud- 88 OF PHANTOMS Sh falnall denly the scene shifted and, in the deep valley below, “thou- sands upon thousands” of what appeared to be human beings came into view, moving rapidly in the same direction as the “rolls.” The apparitions were “men”? wearing white shirts - and trousers, but they were not of uniform size, some appear- ing to be very large and oth- ers very small. They marched with strictly military precision but bore no guns or other weap- ons. Some 30 or 40 in depth, the phantoms strode across the valley and began ascending the almost insurmountable moun- tains that surrounded it. Their arms and legs, according to the report, distinctly could be seen in motion, and they stooped forward as men do when as- cending steep terrain. About an hour was required for this ghostly parade to disappear over the top of the mountain. On October 14 the same un- earthly procession was witnes- sed by 10 Confederate soldiers and a number of citizens at Runger’s Mill. The scene re- portedly was identical to the first, except that it lasted for only one hour whereas the first had covered a period of about two.

A hypnotist for 25 years, the the author is past president of three hypnotists’ societies. Hypnotizing by Telepathy by Mluyn Stovéisan HE FOLLOWING incidents are authentic and, at the same time, almost incredible. I have been a professional hyp- notist for the past 25 years. The novelty has long since worn off and I am no longer interested in the “kick” of having a_ subject stick to a chair or in making his shoes feel tight. As past president of the Illinois Society for Hypnotic Research it has been my duty to delve into the secrets of telepathy 89 coupled with suggestion, a relative- ly unexplored field. The following incidents constitute my first prac- tical adventures into the realm of the mind. Up to this writing I have dis- covered that induction of hypnosis by concentration can be accom- plished only with highly condi- tioned subjects and the subject then can be awakened by mental command also. While under hyp- nosis the subject will react to no

Page 88

go mental command to perform an action such as raising an atm, shaking the head, etc. I stress the fact that in all of the incidents mentioned here the subject was always unaware of the presence of the operator and at no time was the subject given any in- dication that he or she was going to be “thought” to sleep. I am going to relate four inci- dents. All will be logically ex- plained and, to my mind, serve as proof that the key to positive and successful results in the field of mental telepathy lies in the use of hypnosis as a medium for thought transmission. While stationed at Camp Halo- bird, just outside the city of Balti- more, I was an instructor in the Counter Intelligence Corps. In the evenings I gave demonstrations of hypnosis for the enlightenment and entertainment of the men sta- tioned on the base. As a result of these nightly shows I had many excellent conditioned subjects. The first incident occurred one evening in the Post Exchange at the base while I was standing in a phone booth waiting for a long dis- tance call-back. As I stood there, idly, one of the men stationed at the camp entered; he was an ex- cellent somnambulistic subject and had been put in the hypnotic state by me several times. He walked over to one of the tables, a soft FATE drink in his hand and sat down with his back to me. A thought crept into my mind: Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could put this subject in a hypnotic state without resorting to a written or verbal command or visual signal of any kind? I decided to try. I closed my eyes, faced in the general direction of the subject and thought to myself, forcibly, one word over and over again: “Sleep ... Sleep . : . sleep.” I thought of nothing but the mental picture of the subject seated at the table, and this one word. I had done this for less than half a minute when I heard the sound of breaking glass. I opened my eyes and to my utter amazement I saw that he had slumped over the table, his glass tipped and spilled, and a soft drink bottle lay shattered on the floor where it had fallen. I left the phone booth and hurried over to the ta- ble. I checked thoroughly for the signs of hypnosis. He was in a deep sleep. I awakened him and he could give no explanation as to why he went to sleep nor did he have the slightest premonition of sleep coming on him. I spent a wakeful night trying to reason out the cause and effect of what I had witnessed. Did I per- haps unconsciously whisper the word “sleep” as I was concentrat- ing, and did he hear it? This was impossible, for the table where he

Page 89

HYPNOTIZING BY TELEPATHY had been sitting was a good 20 feet from the phone booth, and the door to the booth was closed. The subject was under a verbal post- hypnotic command to sleep, at my order, but this incident involved only a mental command. I firmly resolved that I would again at- tempt this experiment at the earl- iest opportunity. It came three days later. I was passing one of the restau- rants on the field and through the front plate glass window I noticed three girls seated at a table, one of them a civilian typist and an ex- cellent subject. I entered the res- taurant through the kitchen in the rear of the building, for I did not want her to see me, and ended up in a washroom with a brick wall between the subject and myself. Once again, I closed my eyes and concentrated forcibly on the word “sleep”. In about 30 seconds I heard screams and excited talk coming from the dining room. I went in to find that not only had the subject gone into a hypnotic state —a burning cigarette lay in the palm of her hand! She, too, had slumped over the table. Her friends thought she had fainted. I awakened the girl and she also had had no feeling of the hypnotic state coming on. The next seven times I tried this experiment on various subjects, I met with complete failure. I was QI led to the eventual conclusion that only certain subjects can receive telepathic impulses. My next success was accom- panied by an unusual phenomenon. I was passing a supply room one evening when I saw another con- ditioned subject of mine seated at a desk with his back toward me. I made no sound, stared at the back of his head and attempted to put him to sleep by mental command. Again, success! He collapsed in his chair. I entered the room to awak- en him and what I saw staggered me. On a pile of blankets in a far corner of the room lay another of my subjects sprawled out loosely — unmistakably in a deep state of hypnosis. I had not even been aware of his presence! I am sure that the reader can well understand my feelings at this time. I was confronted with a, as yet unexplained, phenomenon of my own doing. I, of course, knew that a phase of telepathy was in- volved. Was I on the verge of a discovery? Did I have unusual powers? Was there more to hyp- nosis than I had thought? All of these questions bothered me and, finally, an incident occurred that was frightening enough to make me fearful of conducting any fur- ther experiments in thought trans- mission, using hypnosis as a med- ium. I had mentioned my experiments

Page 90

92 to a friend, a professional magician and hypnotist and owner of a Baltimore magic shop. He was very skeptical. I hoped that I eventual- ly would get a chance to show him that what I had told him was true. This opportunity came on a Satur- day afternoon during one of my visits to his shop. When I entered the shop I no- ticed, sitting in the back room, a young fellow of about 17, a fami- liar subject and well conditioned. He did not see nor hear me enter as he was studiously looking through a magic catalogue. I mo- tioned to my friend, the owner of the store, that I wished him to keep quiet and silently hoped that this boy would react to the mental command to sleep. My attempt was futile, there was no reaction at all: he was one who did not “take” telepathic suggestion. My friend gave me an I-told-you-so look. Then something happened that bowled me over causing me a few fearful moments although, after my years in hypnosis, I thought I had seen it all. There were hurried footsteps on the stairs and a clerk from the corner drug store came into the room. He knewmeasa hypnotist because I had once hypnotized a FATE girl who worked in the store as a soda clerk. Fortunately he also knew I was a magician and that I spent many hours in the magic shop. While I was trying to put the subject in the magic shop to sleep, the young lady in the store fell to the floor Aypnotized . . . half a block away! I hurried to the store where they were administering smelling salts to’ the girl— to no effect. My tests showed deep hyp- nosis. The explanation? A psychologist gave’ this opin- ion: In telepathic experiments, such as are conducted in the labor- atories of Duke University, they constantly are looking for the ideal team for experimentation — a good “sender” and a good “receiver”— to achieve the rapport necessary for controlled experiments. The opin- ion of the psychologist was that I happened to be a good sender and, under hypnosis, a potentially good receiver becomes an exceptionally good receiver. I have no other explanation. I only know that the psychologist told me one other thing —and be- cause of it I hesitate to go further. The psychologist said: Be careful! Telepathy knows no distance! —

AAAAAAAAAAAAAS “TO WATCH OVER HER” As told to Val Spiers N 1918 MY SISTER lay ill with scarlet fever. The doctor had told us it was not serious, that she would be up and around in a cou. ple of weeks. My boys were away at summer eamp and I was staying with Sis to take care of her and her 11- month-old baby, Lura Luceal. Ev- erything was going well until one day when I heard Sis sobbing. “Sis, what is the matter?” I asked. “The doctor said you will be Okay in a few days. Why cry now?” “The doctor is wrong, I know,” she sobbed. “I don’t really mind so much for myself but why do I have to leave Lura? She is so tiny. What will happen to her?” Sometime later after she had stopped crying she said, “If only I could watch over her until she grows up. Do you suppose God might let me do that?” A week later Sis died. She had tuberculosis along with the scarlet fever and at that time there were no wonder drugs to combat such a combination. Once she started hem- orrhaging it was all over. My brother-in-law remarried when Lura was two and although I begged him to let her stay and grow up as a sister for my two boys he refused. They moved away from me and it nearly broke my heart. Years passed and the stepmother didn’t want Lura to know any- thing about her mother’s folks. All our gifts were returned to us un- opened; letters, the same. There was nothing we could do about it. Then my mother died and left my sister’s share of the estate to Lura. It was necessary for her to make a trip west to claim the in- heritance. It was a shock to meet Lura at the depot. She looked just like her mother. As old folks will do, I showed Lura old family pictures, and she seemed to enjoy going over them with me, All of a sudden she se- lected one and held it up, “Who is this? Who is this lady?” “My dear, don’t you know? Have you never seen a picture of your mother?” I asked, shocked. “Oh, no,” she said. “Mom would- n’t let me see any. And the things she told me about my mother were 93°

But this lady is beautiful.” “Your mother was beautiful and so good!” I said and spent the rest of the afternoon telling her about her mother. “Tell me,” she said, “How was my mother buried?” I explained that her mother had been buried in her long white wed- ding dress. “And her hair! Was it long and brown! Was it flecked with gold and ever so gently curly?” “Yes, child why do you ask?” I answered. “Oh,” she cried, her eyes shin- ing through the tears. “Now I know who the lovely lady was that came to visit me. Once when I was very unhappy, I prayed and prayed. It was just after I had learned to read. The Bible stories I read on the sly intrigued me. And a lady dressed in a long white dress and with long brown hair came to me and smiled and said, ‘Be patient, baby; be patient.’ “Oh, Aunt Peggy, how I loved that lady. Every time I grew un- happy she would visit. Sometimes she would just smile. Sometimes she would just nod her head as if to say, ‘you are doing okay.’ And I always felt better and would sing about the work all the next day.” I told her how her mother had prayed to be allowed to watch over her until she grew up. “Oh, Aunt Peggy,” Lura_ said sadly. “I am almost sad I have grown up. She doesn’t visit me any more.” — Boise, Idaho. I'VE HEARD FROM CARRINGTON By Dr. W. D. Chesney QUARTER OF a century ago I became acquainted with

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL Hereward Carrington, an _ honest, sincere researcher in psychic af- fairs, at the Margery seances in Boston, Mass. Shortly before he died in De- cember 1958, I wrote him a letter praising his article, Mathematical Proof Of A Spirit World, published in Fate Magazine. His wife’s letter reporting his death, which I re- ceived early in 1959, was a shock. Since then I have felt his presence and I have been trying to find a reputable medium in an attempt to get infra red photographs of him. At last I have found such a me- dium, although her husband forbids her to practice her mediumship, be- lieving that it is the work of the devil. For this reason I cannot give her name. A clergyman in St. Paul, Minn., wrote me suggesting this woman as a good medium with whom to try to contact Carrington. About March 1, 1960, I went to see her at her home in a suburb of Mil- waukee, Wis. I took with me com- plete apparatus for taking psychic pictures. When everything was ready the white light was switched off, leaving a good red light burn- ing. We engaged in small talk for about 15 minutes when the phos- phorescent trumpet slowly rose in- to the air, at least eight feet from the medium. A fairly strong voice came through. It identified itself as the voice of Hereward Carring- ton. I believe it was Carrington be- cause he spoke of our visits to- gether in Boston and thanked me for my yet unpublished article about Margery which has since ap- peared in FATE Magazine.

GARLANGER 1019 Pearl Street St. Joseph, Mich. FATE have not used higher mathematics for at least one-third of a century. I could not extract the root of a number if my life depended on it. I had accepted every formula in Carrington’s mathematics article. But now he said, “I want you to write to FATE and correct the for- mula for the fifth root of a num- ber. The way it is shown would indicate five times the square root, not the fifth root.” The entranced medium took my ball point pen from my pocket and wrote the correct formula: \/ in- stead of >\/ as it appeared in the original article. It is evident that Carrington gave me information during this seance that was unknown to me and to the medium. This information was correct. I went immediately to a book store and purchased a copy of Accelerated Algebra, by Hills and Mazziotta and checked it. I accept this as positive proof that Dr. Carrington still lives and is as anxious to prove immortality as when he lived among us. — Milton Junction, Wis. VOICES OF THE DEAD?

One of our aims is to explore and to bring psychic phenomena and mystical experience closer into the body of the Christian churches, for it seems to us that these things are the basis of religion. Another of our aims is to bring them closer to our own lives for these things are also the essence of religious experience. We do not claim to know all the answers. But we are trying through seminars, study groups and research, to find some of them. DR. DYETT “We feel we're unique in trying to bring back to Christian churches a broader understanding of the spiritual realities of life. And we feel that an important aspect of spirit- ual reality is the whole field of psychic experi- ence. The experiences of the early church, as re- corded in the New Testa- ment, can be more clearly understood in the light of modern psychical re- search.’’ MEMBERSHIP COSTS ARE NOMINAL Special introductory membership rates are only $5.00 per year for the first and second years.

Mom had worked in the fields beside her man; Pop had helped in the house. Truly they had been as one. But now it was the concensus of the group that two graves and two markers would “look best.” A strange force within me caused me to face them all with a loud “No! We can’t separate them now!” — We had gone to bed with this decision still pending. After all, I was only a daughter-in-law. Why should I object? I didn’t know why but I did object. I have no idea how long I’d been asleep when I awakened. My hus- band and I were in the bedroom across from the old storeroom where we had put the bloody suit- ease and other belongings we had claimed from the wreckage of the death car. I heard voices. Wonder- ingly, I listened. The veices came from the old storeroom. Mom’s voice said, “Oh, Clydie, I just can’t bear it if we are to be put in separate graves.” Frozen, I listened. “T can’t bear being ali alone. I have been at your side too long,” Mom continued. Then Pop’s voice, which I’d know anywhere, answered, “Hush now, Mary girl, they aren’t going to. They won’t separate us.” And he sighed as I’d heard him do so many times when he was comforting her in life. The next day dawned and my thoughts continued to race. The selection of the markers wouldn’t take place until after the burial. The grave was now! I jumped into our car and drove to the cemetery. When I told the caretaker that we wanted a common grave I felt soft

HAVE YOU LIVED OTHER LIVES ? by Ernest C. Wilson In this daring statement of the case for reincarnation, Ernest C. Wilson, radio and television per- sonality, author, lecturer, minister of Christ Church, Unity of Los Angeles, Calif., offers thoughtful evidence of pre-existence. This book offers reasonable an- swers to such questions as— @ Why do you sometimes feel, “I’ve done this before?” @ How explain child prodigies? ® Why are certain of us born to poverty, others to riches; some to health, others to handicaps? ® Why do we seem to recognize certain persons or places, at a first encounter? ® What does the Bible say? Evidence for re-birth, never be- fore presented, is offered in this book—amazing factual accounts of E.S.P.—fourth dimensional con- cepts—why we don’t remember past lives (and why we do!)—the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Essenes —outer space related to inner space—science and religion in this nuclear age.

I remain- ed aloof, contributing nothing to the solution of the mystery. That evening the pros and cons of the marker were argued until, wearied of it all, my husband and I stole up- stairs to bed. For the third time I was waked from a sound sleep by the voices from the old storeroom. Alone, I promised a double marker and all grew silent. Day dawned. We trailed down to the monument company. For the second time [ stepped out of place and took the lead. While the others were shopping among the stones and reading inscriptions I filled out the order blank for a common stone. I even chose the inscription: TYo- gether Through Eternity. Surpris- ingly no one seemed to question my doing this. They almost seemed relieved. My last night in the old family home in South Dakota was undis- turbed. All was silent in the old storeroom. I felt as if a great bur- den at last had been lifted from my heart.

THIS BEAUTIFUL ONE, by Beth Christo- pher. Pageant Press, New York, 1960. 73 pages, $2.50. Subtitled “A Fantasia of the Christ Life,” this is an elaborated version of the Gospel account, based on the psychic readings given by the late Edgar Cayce. Narrated viv- idly and warmly, it gives new depth to the familiar Gospel figures and happenings. Of particular interest is the author’s description of the un- recorded life of Christ, which has many points of similarity with the speculations of scholars of the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls.—Guy Archette. FOUNDATIONS OF TIBETAN MYSTICISM, By Lama Anagarika Govinda. E. P. Dutton and Co., Inc., New York, 1960. 311 pages, $6.00. Today, with Tibet overrun by Red Chinese armies intent upon de- stroying its ancient racial and cul- tural heritage, it is indeed timely to find a book offering further insight into mystical practices and philoso- _phy of that once-isolated land. As one might expect, the mys- tics of Tibet are divided on numerous issues and many conflicting schools have arisen. We are told that the author, a European living with his wife in the Himalayan foothills, is “a member of the Tibetan Buddhist Order’—a misnomer, for these or- ders are many—and that he was initiated into the Kargyutpa school of semi-reformed Buddhist Lamas by “one of the greatest spiritual teachers of modern Tibet,” Tomo Geshe Rimpoche. What is now revealed, however, is something less than the founda- tions of Tibetan mysticism. Since it is admitted that “each school of meditation and each particular sect has its own system, which is main- tained by tradition and passed from Master to pupil,” it is not sur- prising that the author gives little more than the restricted teachings of his own Master. He takes ne notice of the principal Tibetan Buddhist school, the Gelugpas, whose chiefs, the Dalai and Pan- chen Lamas, head the official re- formed church. But even if “this classic work” lacks “the true breadth and scope” promised by the publisher, it affords remarkable clues towards a clear understanding of certain Buddhist Io!

EAT FATE Tantra beliefs, beliefs which, it is affirmed, are not founded upon abstract logie or metaphysics but upon psychological experience. Un- happily, almost nothing is said of the author’s own spiritual adven- tures. Stripped of its apologies, pro- found digressions and futile ra- tionalizations (e.g., the “awakening of Kundalini,” the Inner Fire in the Psychic Centers of the Yogi, is “the awakening of the libido”—a definition calculated to please nei- ther Freudian nor Yogi), the the- sis of this work is familiar. Man- kind, originally “mind-created spir- itual beings, nourished by joy” and soaring through space “self-lumin- ous and imperishable in beauty,” has, through successive stages of de- limited consciousness, so descended into matter that today we are prin- cipally aware only of our passing selves and ephemeral possessions. It should be our goal to emulate the Buddha and to experience again our divine first estate. How is such a tremendous trans- formation to come about? By a “turning-about in the deepest seat of consciousness” when, during meditation, intellect is replaced by “intuition” and a direct perception of “higher dimensions.” Various aids are provided: yantra, mantra, mudra, or symbols in color, form, sound and gesture. Examples are given and analyzed, the chief being the famous Tibetan mantra, OM MANI PADMA HUM. But the principal impetus for the Sadhaka (devotee) is “the inspir- ing muse,” Dorje Naljorma, who appears only after preliminary ex- ercises of breathing (pranayama), purification, devotion and _ recep-

NEW BOOKS tivity accompanied by the symbolic visualizations and mantras. Then, concentrating upon the psychic “Navel Center” imagined within his “ethereal body” (one of five bodies he is required to visual- ize), the Yogi perceives a Dakini or (in Tibetan) “a Khadoma of bril- liant red colour, surrounded by a ‘halo of flames.” This, it is ex- plained, is one of those beings which “according to popular conception, are divine or demoniacal.” The final stage’ is reached when the devotee in meditation “becomes one with the divine form of the Kha- doma.” This may be well and good, but if it is not simply an achievement of auto-suggestion or self-hypnosis, the author still fails to say how the Sadhaka can be sure his Dorje Naljorma is not a demon and he its plaything. We are told that this is so with those who “believe in spiritualistic seances” and who be- come the deceived prey of ethereal ghouls. Likewise the sacred Tibetan book, Jetsun-Kahbum, official bi- ography of Milarepa, who Lama An- agarika calls “Tibet’s greatest poet and saint,” cautions against temp- tations from “sprites and elemen- tals’ who appear to guide (or misguide) the Yogi with alluring prophecies. Of whether or how the Buddhist Tantric Yogi guards against such deceits, nothing is said. All we are told is “that all divine forms of appearance are to be un- derstood as the experiences which constitute the path of meditation .., 1e., welcomed!

But how is one to choose the right kind of initiation and initiator? In the final analysis, the aspirant is thrown back on the despised intellect: “the only guid- ance that there can be is the guid- ance by that inner light, the power of consciousness which gradually through discrimination and under- standing, grows into knowledge and wisdom.”—Walter A. Carrithers, Jr. THE EXPLORATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM, by Felix Godwin. Plenum Press, New York, 1960. 200 pages, $6.50. The New York World-Telegram has termed Felix Godwin’s definitive book “staggeringly impressive,” and this reviewer fully concurs. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observa- tory feels the work is a “potentially valuable contribution to the litera- ture of astrophysics.” Another indication. of the worth of the book is that noted rocket authority Willy Ley provides an amiable and typically interesting introduction. : What makes The Exploration of the Solar System unique is its astonishingly comprehensive coyer- age of almost every conceivable fa- cet of space flight—including prob- able conditions on alien planets, the problems that must be and will be overcome to get us there, and the complex and elaborate instrumen- tation required to decipher condi- tions on other worlds.

The work is replete with mathe- matical formulae, but most persons with some orientation in the phys- ical sciences probably will find it within their comprehension. Unfor- tunately the book is deficient in il- . lustrations, both in quantity and quality, and appears to be some- what overpriced, In one of the most valuable chap- ters, “Further Possibilities,” Felix Godwin explores the many advanced eoncepts for future space flight now under study. These include hy- drogen, solar repulsion, free radi- cals, ion drives and the plasma jet. This chapter concludes with a dis- eussion of the problems involving “Interstellar Flight.” The Exploration of the Solar Sys- tem probably will be somewhat too technical for the average layman, but space travel buffs should find it indispensable. “The author dem- onstrates a grasp of astronautical Science quite extraordinary for one So young,’ remarked the Smithso- nian Astrophysical Observatory. “With continued development he should make for himself a name in this field.”—Maaz B.

Smoothly hand-finished, it is pol- ished to a high lustre with a resin polish which, being a wood byproduct, will not interfere with the vibrations which the operator's continued use sets up. HOW THE PLANCHETTE WORKS: Specially-fitted pencil forms one leg of planchette, the other two rolling free on ball bearings. These ball bearings permit the slightest indication of movement to take effect, the tiniest wisp of pressure transmitted through your hand.

The Mystic Arts Book Society invites you to accept this book YOURS List Price: $5.95 $5.95 EVERYWHERE — YOURS FREE CosMIc CONSCIOUSNESS is rightly considered to be one of the great classics of mystical experience. It is not only a powerful and moving book, it is so daring that, although written almost sixty years ago, it is still ahead of its time. A book of this sort can only be produced under very special circumstances. Its author must be a brave and unconventional man who has not only the authority of scientific training and the prestige of an eminent position in that world, but also deep-seated emotional conviction based upon per- sonal experience, Richard Maurice Bucke was just that man. Born in Canada in 1837 he was orphaned in childhood and spent years working on railways and steamboats and as a miner and prospector, At 21 he returned to his birthplace and graduated from. McGill Medical School with distinction, becoming a leading psychiatrist, President of the Psychological Section of the British Medical Asociation, President pf the American Medico-Psychological Association, Superintendent of the Provincial Asylum for the Insane at Hamilton, Ontario, and Professor of Mental and Nervous Diseases at Western University. At 36 he had the sudden and illuminating metaphysical experience that lightened his life thereafter and led to the production of this remarkable book. This extraordinary event proved to be mot an isolated occurrence, or a mental aberration, but the emergence of a new faculty which was neither supernatural nor supranormal, but the natural outgrowth of our present level of consciousness to a level that is as far above ours as ours is above the simple consciousness of animals. Dr. Bucke calls this faculty cosmic consciousness. He believes that the men who possess it, such as Buddha, Jesus, Paul, Dante, Spinoza, Blake, Balzac, Whitman, and a growing number of others in our time, are forerunners of the beings who will eventually people the earth. 4, EGYPTIAN MAGIC by Sir Wallis Budge. The Egyptian priest made darkness as well as light his realm; his power was exercised by names, spells, en- chantments, amulets, pictures and ceremonies accom- panied by potent words to be spoken in a certain manner. Nothing was beyond the means of the magician well versed in these formulae. Illustrated. $5.00 Members’ Price: $3.95 &.

He also discusses reincarnation, intense concentration and “inhar- monious thoughts.” The book in effect is a broad sur- vey of the subject of mind and, al- though the author’s lamp shines brightly, he leaves this fascinating terra incognita as densely shadowed as ever.—Guy Archette.

Dr. Canby has served as presi- dent of the Association of American Physicians, and as vice-president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

REPORT FROM THE READERS GOLD—RIMMED OBJECT On Friday, December 4, 1959 (or Friday, November 27, 1959), about 5:15 p.m., while returning home from work on a bus on North Miami Avenue, I sighted a circu- lar object traveling northwest to southwest. I saw it for only four seconds or so as it was traveling fast. The sun was bright and in the sky were numerous horizontal, puf- fy clouds. The outer rim of the ob- ject shone like gold and its center was eggshell color with a slightly yellowish tint. A few streaks ap- peared to follow in the wake of the object. It seemed to travel for about 60 feet, according to the dis- tance at which I viewed it, and then it disappeared behind the elouds. The UFO model on page 33 of the February, 1960, issue of FATE resembles the object I sighted. The object did not fly edge-on or tilted but with the flat side toward me.— Anna T. Ochipa, Miami, Fla. UFO DREAM AND REALITY In August, 1959, I acquired an eight-inch reflecting telescope for use in my hobby, astronomy. For many nights after I got my ’scope, I scanned the heavens in search of a UFO but to no avail. One night in March, 1960, I had a dream which differed from all the others I have ever had because | SEE the HUMAN AURA! a vital step toward PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT Aura researchers have now developed a mechanical means of learning to see the human aura — permanent optically per- fect filters mounted in a pair of gog- gles adjustable to your head-size They leave your nands free!

FATE of its reality. In the dream I was at the controls of my telescope when suddenly a dise of blue light entered my field of vision. I then dreamed that I sketched the outline of my observation in my notepad. One week later (March 18) I recalled my dream and that night I got out my telescope to see if the dream had any truth in it. Nothing happened and about 11:00 I de- cided to take a look at the “Ring” Nebula in Lyra before going in. As I adjusted my ’scope, I saw the disc I had dreamed of. It en- tered the field on the north side and remained in view for about 30 seconds. I was using 180 power (which is high) and I saw ports with light coming from inside the UFO. It was exactly as I had seen it in the dream. There was an un- explained power shortage after the UFO disappeared into the sky.— Van Wilkinson, Lakewood, Calif. CONFIRMATION What you have read about the Siskiyou rain rock of Ft. Jones is true. I was one of the CCC boys at Orleans, Calif., in 1941 and back for a visit in the area 10 years later. I was talking with my moth- er, who was with me, about the rock as we walked before dinner. The rock sits in the open beside the Ft. Jones museum and as we passed near it, although the sun was shining, fog puffs came in be- hind us and, so help me, it started to sprinkle! — Warren Anderson. I want to comment on the article written by Dr. Marcus Bach on Why I Believe In A Life Beyond, in the July, 1960, FATE. I am very well acquainted with

Pete is very happy about the whole thing and sends his thanks for the opportunity to tell his story. I hope that he will find Eddie someday and if Fare and our story are of any help, so much the better. Several months ago you ran a True Mystic Experience by ‘Donald Mann who lives here. I ‘have since gotten to know Mr. Mann and lis- tened to his story first hand. I then went to the farm in question and spoke to the owner who is Am- ish, and not too talkative. While he would not admit to anything out of the ordinary happening on _ his farm I could tell by his reaction when [ recounted the story in FatTH that it wasn’t new to him. I alse noticed the beginnings of a founda- tion for a new house. He probably subscribes to the local theory that ‘a ghost won’t harm you if you keep away.” — Rayn Shawk, Leb- anon, Pa. SASQUATCH?? One day in 1930 I saw a vacated store building in Joplin, Mo., plas- tered with signs and went to in- vestigate. The signs told of a mon- ster inside which had been captured in some far-off place.

But the creature itself I will never forget. It had the general proportions of a human being and was about the size of an average adult. It was covered with soft, silky hair, long- er on its head than on its body. Its face was dark but had no hair. And it had the saddest eyes I have ever seen. It cried in a whimpering voice all the time. I have written this in the hope it will aid in the search for infor- mation on the Sasquatch. There are bound to be other persons who saw this creature and who probably re- member more about it than I do. — Mrs. Sherman Poole, Prospect, Ore. TRUE SIGHT??

Of course, when this blindfold is put on anyone else it is reversed so that the inner cloth does not drop down and expose the trick, — Cecil D. Clayton, Henderson, Ky.

I went to work in the mine in Ohio at the turn of the century when I was 14. In the early autumn of 1902 I was asked by my big brother’s buddy to work on the electric coal cutting machine on the night shift while he played for a dance with his orchestra. I was the youngest kid who ever dared to tackle such heavy work but I had helped my older brother a few times. Two men had to move the machine around on skids with crowbars and J had learned the way it could be done without wasting a lot of energy. Just after sunset J. struck a match to light the wicks of our paraffin

REPORT FROM THE READERS lamps and then we descended the airshaft because that was a slightly shorter way to travel. This section of the mine had been worked out many years ago and there were slabs of rock and large chunks of coal strewn along the old manway. There were also some high rock falls we had to climb over. These had happened when the rooms caved in and the rock caved in across the manway also. We had gone about 25 yards, aft- er climbing over the third pile of rock which had fallen about a week before, when suddenly our lights went out. We struck match after match but they only fizzed and would not burn. After we had struck our last match I realized that they must have closed the end of the manway and there was not enough oxygen for a match to burn. I ex- plained this to my brother and he moaned, “Oh, my poor wife and children.” “Don’t worry,” I said. “I can find the way out of here.” “You don’t know which way to go any more than I do,” my brother exclaimed. “Oh, yes, I do. Here take my din- ner bucket and stand still while I find the power lines just at one side of the manway.” “Don’t touch those wires. They’ll kill you,” my brother. ordered. “No,” I said. “Last week’s cave- in caused a short circuit and the power line is dead. Just stand still so I can get my direction by feel- ing those wires.” I found the wires and then step- ped sideways until I was in front of my brother and told him to hold onto my coat tails.

I suggested brother feel where I placed my feet so he could follow me, This rock pile was nearly 10 feet high. When we reached the top I suggested he stand still until [ found the place to climb down. Then I guided his feet and he followed safely. To encourage him that we were still in the manway I told him to feel of the water at the side of a little trail along one side of the manway. He was slightly encour- aged but was still afraid we might veer off into some of the old work- | ings and get lost. : After a few rainutes more we came to the next cave-in and broth- er followed me safely. But now the trail zigzagged around large chunks of coal and I barked my shins a few times before we finally reached the last cave-in. A few minutes later I said, “Here we turn right. See there is the air- shaft.” “Thank God!” sighed my brother. “T never expected to see daylight again, I still cannot understand how you found the way to get out of there.” : We climbed the 80 feet up to the surface and then I went to a farm house nearby to borrow some matches and we reentered the mine. At the bottom of the airshaft I marked a skull and crossbones on a board and placed it at the en- trance of the old manway to warn other miners. Then we walked down the adjoining entry now used for a new manway. We were a half hour late to work but we made it up. Everything went fine for the rest of the night. I am now 74 but remember very

tt st = ae REPORT FROM THE READERS vividly this particular night when I had to “see without eyes.” — K. H. Isselstein, Spokane, Wash. ON MENTAL IMAGES In Dr. Volney Mathison’s letter in the July FATE it appears that Dr. Mathison believes that electro- encephalography can either prove or disprove Mr. Rapport’s theory of mental images. I doubt that Dr. Walter would appreciate his name being mentioned as an authority for such a belief. Dr. Walter is cer- tainly one of the leaders in this field. However, there are others, It just so happens he is the only one who has written a comprehen- sive, popular book on the subject, The Living Brain. He has attempted to show that there is some relationship between Se, T2T the alpha brain rhythms and the ability of a person to think in terms of visual imagery. It ap- pears that people who think main- ly in terms of visual images pro- duce very little alpha, while those who think in auditory, kinesthetic or tactile terms produce strong per- sistent alpha rhythms. In the aver- age person, who can think either way, the alpha is strong with the eyes closed and the mind and body relaxed. With eyes open, or when the person is mentally engaged with some problem, the alpha tends to be suppressed. Dr. Walter suggests that the al- pha rhythms represent a scanning process—a_ search for pattern, These brain frequencies, therefore, represent merely the fact that the person is or is not thinking in SELF-MASTERY -- STEP BY STEP A SYSTEM OF CAUCASIAN YOGA By Count Stefan Colonna Walewski . » . is the first book ever to reveal the doctrines of a hitherto unknown, secret Caucasian society who had a “MASTER SYSTEM’ now available to you! Count Walewski was pledged to secrecy when he was initiated into the society 30 years ago — but just before his death in 1955 he authorized publi- eation of this book. At the core of the secret doc- trines that probe deep into Life’s mysteries is the “Master System’’. [It teaches you to master thought and body through six great ‘‘Master Arcanes’’ — exercises that constitute a short-cut to complete conscious SELF-MASTERY.

(They actually represent much more, but that is not relevant to the above discussion.) Dr. Walter nowhere attempts to prove or disprove the storage of discrete mental images per se. Using Dr. Walter’s work as a means of disproving Mr. Rapport’s theory of mental imagery is not valid or appropriate. Nor can the theory be disproved by electropsy- chometry, since the “surge respon- ses” are merely electrical repre- sentations of neutral activity in the nervous system brought about by emotionally-induced hormonal changes. It does not represent changes in the cerebral cortex, where thought and imagery take place. In addition, Mr. Rapport specif- ically says, “I propose here that the brain is not concerned with im- ages of any kind. Its function is entirely confined to closing and opening its nerve circuits... ” So why bring in Dr. Walter and the EEG? So fer as electropsy- chometry is concerned this does not reflect mental imagery. It reflects emotional responses. — Muriel Grie- be, Dover, N. J. AUTHOR’S CORRECTIONS I was pleased to find that my article (The Riddle of Aging, July, 1960, issue) was not what you would call “butchered” after all. Most of it seems to be there, although numer- ous words were eliminated, unless I made a mistake in counting. However, frankly, I didn’t feel very good about some typographical errors that were made. The worst one is on page 79. One of the sen- tences should read: “I was not told 2?) that man ages simply because... ;

On page 81, column one, bottom paragraph, “of the” is wrongly re- peated after the word “hormone.” It sounds like I’m saying that the hormone itself grows. On page 82, column one, bottom paragraph, you say that “Some- thing which is absent in the area of a wound must be the cause of the reduced rate of cell regeneration ...” This is unfortunate because my idea is that this thing which is absent is only one cause (one of two causes). That is, the sen- tence reads like the contour limits are the only cause of reduced cell regeneration because of the use of the word “the” instead of the word I believe that Dr. Tonna of Brook- haven and many other scientists very strongly think (and have for years) that the contour limits have an important relationship to ag- ing; but, of course, I also suspect that the irreguler life energy transmission plays a part and that this is the real determining factor in bringing about aging, since the presence of the contour limits it- self would at least allow enough cell regeneration for permanent youth if it weren’t for the oth- er factor. Of course, most readers know that I also hold the other factor to blame, but some may have been confused. At any rate, my principal objec- tive has been served—that of getting all these ideas published. — Leon J. Ricks, Altadena, Calif. ZH

Me del dl The late Paramahansa Yogan- anda, a great Master from India, came to America in 1920. He taught 100,000 Westerners scientific tech- niques for achieving direct personal experience of God. Human illness — physical disease, mental inharmonies, and spiritual ignorance—may be overcome by attunement with cosmic laws of life. Yogananda’s teachings show how mankind may seek, and find, help from the Cosmic Healer. These practical, scientific tech- niques may be learned and practiced in the privacy of one’s home. Les- sons are sent weekly to students throughout the world, from the in- A WORLD TEACHER ternational headquarters of Self« Realization Fellowship, founded by Yogananda. By application of these principles and techniques, faithful students are rewarded with ever in- creasing Self-realization: peace of mind, awareness of the immortal soul, and the wisdom and fortitude to cope successfully with all prob- lems of life. Luther Burbank said of these les- sons: “Ideal for training and harmon- izing man’s physical, mental, and spiritual natures. By simpleand scien- tific methods of concentration and meditation, most of the complex prob- lems of life may be solved, and peace and good will come upon earth?’ SEND FOR PSS Se - —FREE BOOKLET SELF-REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP, Dept.

THE AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER ANNOUNCE A MOST DARING AND SENSATIONAL BOOK: (A Challenge to the Devotees of Freud, Pcsteur, Darwin and Marx) ... by Herb Blackschleger. Published by Forum Press, 324 Newbury St., Boston 15, Mass. History has frequently recorded the words: DOWN WITH THE KING, LONG LIVE THE KING! History will soon record the words: DOWN WITH THE WORLD; LONG LIVE THE NEW AGE! Yes, the ravings of so-called religious enthusiasts are true—-the world of TODAY IS COMING TO AN END: The secret of the mysterious disappearance of the dinosaurs is out—the dino- saurs disappeared IN A SINGLE DAY during a rotation of the axis of the earth! The present North Pole was once in a position now occupied by part of AFRICA; warm, mushy dinosaur prints were frozen intact when suddenly subjected to sub-zero temperature. The ‘‘myth’’ of the lost city of Atlantis is becoming TRUE HISTORY. Atlantis is now revealed as a former CONTINENT which supported millions of human beings of greater ability than the people of today’s world. In a single day, part of the continent of Atlantis dropped into the sea, carrying millions of Shrieking, suprised human beings to death. Other intelligent humans lived on this planet before the Himalayan Mountains and the Gobi Desert were formed. According to Edgar Cayce, the famous true nature of MAN—who he is, why he is clairvoyant, many cities of the United States on earth, and how he should live. This darkness are destined to DROP INTO THE OCEAN has existed for thousands of years; it has made sometime within the next 60 years. Some possible the plunder of the entire world by people will obtain clues to provide them with suppression of knowledge, by mind control and advance warnings of this catastrophe; others brainwashing, and by extensive use of seman- will declare such a happening impossible up tics. Lately, discoveries of man’s true nature until within a few minutes of the actual oc- and actual destiny have been made so rapidly currence, that most people will be unable to adjust to The civilization of Atlantis flourished some 30,000 years ago. THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS are actual records of the basic philosophies of the COMING NEW AGE, because they will be caught in the DEATH THROES of the “‘pre- sent world.” the people of Atlantis. The entire world has There will NOT be an all-out, world-wide been kept in comparative darkness as to the atomic war! The civilizations of today consider themselves ‘‘educated’’ and ‘‘enlightened;”’ actually, they are to a great extent BRAINWASHED and HYPNOTIZED. The world has actually been plundered for milleniums; in today’s period of so-called freedom’’ more people are living under physical, tranquilized, or lobotomized slavery than ever before in history. HIDE! examines the true condition of today’s world; it traces the dominant philo- sophies of today back to the ridiculous and false assumptions upon which they are based; it shows the basie errors of these doctrines; and it offers to the reader clues which will provide answers for which man- kind has been searching, searching, search- ing.
