I See by the Papers. : QUOTE OF THE MONTH I feel in my bones that the orthodox scientific account of man as an undesigned calculating ma- chine, and of non-human nature as “a wider mechanism which turns out 4 such machines among its other pro- ducts, is fantastic nonsense, which no one in his senses could believe unless he kept it in a water-tight compariment away from all his other experiences and activities and beliefs. I should be sorry if any- thing so absurd and (as it seems to me) so dull and boring were to be true, and if those who take it for gospel should happen to be right. — Prof. C. D. Broad Cambridge University VOYAGE TO INDIA T LAST an American research man of stature is off to India to investigate at first hand some of the numerous reports of children who believe they remember past lives. He is Prof. Ian Stevenson, chair- man of the department of neurology and psychiatry at the University of Virginia and a notable psychic re- searcher. Dr. Stevenson is Canad- jan-born, a native of Montreal and a graduate of McGill University. ‘He is traveling under a grant from the Parapsychology Foundation in New York, Dr. Stevenson will investigate personally several of the cases now current in which children claim to remember previous lives. This sort of thing is quite common in India and he says dhat in the past 60 years more than 80 such cases have been reported in India. He admits that the childish be- lief may be fantasy, or that the child may have learned the infor- mation he is reporting through normal channels, a newspaper, a family member or a chance ac- quaintance. “This aspect of parapsychology

8 is not yet recognized by many as a branch of science,” he told the As- sociated Press. “There is slender evidence, nothing like proof. But the evidence of survival that we do have, slight though it is, justifies much more investigation.” Dr. Stevenson also says: “There is some evidence that part of the human organism survives physical death.” He is not referring to any organic part of the body but “to what was called the soul in the 19th Century.” In the cases he has studied so far, Dr. Stevenson says that ap- parent memories of this kind are fragmentary and often fade as the children get older. “Such children usually remember from a dozen to 20 items and these are usually scenes of strong emotional signifi- cance, such as the death of a mo- ther or father.” CO WHY TO INDIA? Ww ARE such cases so pre- valent in India and not else- where? Dr. Stevenson was asked. He answers that perhaps the Bud- dhist and Hindu beliefs in reincar- nation provide a “favorable climate” for stories of this kind. But even in India, research is sometimes difficult because parents of the children often refuse to co- operate. There is a superstitution that a child who remembers his past FATE life is fated to die young. But all such cases do not origin- ate in India. Dr. Stevenson hopes to release a full report within a year of an American case of pos- sible reincarnation involving a Phil- adelphia woman. Under hypnosis the woman changes personality and language. At that time she speaks an early form of Swedish dialect. Yet out of hypnosis she speaks no Swedish at all and has no apparent con- nection with a Swedish background. io 2) VOODOO PSYCHOANALYZED HATEVER ELSE voodoo and other primitive ritualistic and magical practices may be, they are effective means of treating men- tally ill persons. At least a number of psychiatrists believe this is true. Dr. Ari Kiev of Baltimore, Md., recently told the World Congress of Psychiatry, meeting in Montreal, that voodoo provides not only re- ligious and spiritual guidance for Haitians “but also a_ reasonable theory and treatment method for the psychiatrically disturbed.” At the.same meeting, Dr. I. A. Senanayake of Colombo, Ceylon, said there is no doubt that psycho- neuroses are often cured by means of ancient Singhalese exorcism ritu- als. If the rituals often seem ab- surd to scientists they do effect cures in a proportion favorable to

Box 671 Evanston, Ill. FATE that accomplished by western psy- chiatric methods. Neuroses can be profoundly affected, although there is no effect on the major psychoses, Dr. Senanayake says. Dr. Kiev points out, according to Toronto Globe and Mail Reporter David Spurgeon, that the voodoo priest, like the modern physician, has been trained in certain notions | of human behavior, psychopatholo- gy, and treatment. He enjoys a privileged status. He has access to the symbolic paraphernalia of his office and these add to his authority. Further- more, he realizes that faith has a great value in effecting cures. By putting responsibility for ill- ness on another sorcerer or the gods, he has ready-made rational- izations for failure, acceptable to patient and community alike. “Tf by psychiatry we mean a system of treatment for disorders of thought, mood and _ behavior based on a theoretical conception of normal human behavior, then the model presented by voodoo fits the definition well,” says Dr. Kiev.

Nonetheless, we feel constrained to report a few of the oddities that have flooded in to us. For example, near Bemidji, Minn., a huge plastic balloon, carry- ing 200 pounds of scientific equip- ment aloft to study radiation haz- ards and cosmic rays, plummeted to earth only two hours after it was launched. Authorities believe light- ning triggered its control mechan- ism. Near Coldwater, Minn., 15-year- old Richard Cuthbertson was sit- ting in a deck chair outside his father’s service station on US. Route 12. His Labrador dog, chain- ed to a nearby tree, had its head in his lap. A lightning bolt struck the tree, travelled along the chain to the dog’s collar and killed it in- stantly. Richard was knocked un- conscious but revived in a minute or two. In addition, there were various kinds of strange behavior by ball lightning, lightning bolts, St. Elmo’s fire and other forms of electrical energy. All this has led the National Geographic Society to announce that without lightning, life as we know it on earth might not exist.

That is the background of this absorbing book, HEALING THE MIND, written by a well-known physician, who writes under a pseu- donym, and Geraldine Cummins, one of the most experienced sensitives of our time, These two talented persons, working together, used Miss Cummins’ mediumistic powers to in- yestigate and treat psychological disorders, To- gether they developed a completely new medical technique; a technique that already has suc- ceeded in curing long-standing and apparently hopeless cases. Complete start-to-finish histories of a num- ber of the most interesting cases are auCiied in the book.

While there are 22 million tons of gaseous ni- trogen floating above each square mile of the earth’s surface, it’s not soluble in water and plants can’t use it until the lightning combines it with oxygen to form dilute nitric acid which is washed to earth and reacts with minerals in the soil to form plant-nourishing nitrates.

It seems there was a heavy elec- trical storm on Sunday, July 23, in the vicinity of Alstead and shortly afterwards the fire department was called to the home of Mrs. Mable Metcalf. There was no fire, no smoke and the men could not find a short circuit. But the walls of the Metcalf home, says the Union Leader, were almost “red hot” to the touch. Firemen sprayed the house with water and went back to see whether the walls had cooled off. They were still “red hot”. The firemen laid

CARTER JR., of the * Carter Construction Co., of Shreveport, La., was working with several carpenters on a house at 2065 Lovers Lane, on Wednesday, July 12. Several of the men were on the roof when the wind blew in a dark cloud and things began to fall 13 What do you think they were? Peaches! Carter said the peaches were about the size of a silver dollar. When the cloud passed on it left some two dozen of them in an area about a half block long and 200 feet wide. Some were ripe and some were green. Mrs. John W. Goodwin, of 2062 Shadywood Lane, has her yard di- rectly behind the one where the carpenters were working. She found four of the peaches around her house. A spokesman for the Weather : Bureau said that it was possible PROPHETIC VERSES OF ANCIENT SEER OPEN THE DOOR OF THE FUTURE! Now, In one volume...

14 for a “terrific updraft” to carry something the size of peaches aloft during thunderstorm activity but conditions in Shreveport were hard- ly suitable for that on this par- ticular day. It would be a difficult thing to convince Mr. C. K. Carter, Jr., his carpenters, or Mrs. Goodwin, how- ever, that the peaches did not fall. ee eee Rains of toads are a lot more common than rains of peaches, and skeptics who consider such things carefully (without actually experi- encing them, of course) assure us that toads don’t really fall but that they are buried underground and the rain just brings them out. Since peaches don’t grow under- ground as far as we know, they’re a bit harder to explain. Recently H. R. Newman, Jr., sent us a clipping from the Stanley, N.C., News and Press that tells about an invasion of toads at the Cecil Moose home on Norwood Road a mile south of Albemarle. After the rain shower Mr. Moose walked outside and he found his driveway, garden, and a nearby field literally jumping with tiny toads. They were about a half inch long and there were thousands of them covering a good acre of ground around his home. Next day they were still so thick it was impossible to walk without crushing them. Of course they could have come from FATE a pond not very far away. oO MAN’S BEST FRIEND F MAN’S BEST friend is indeed the dog, he has been around a long time. As archeologists dig deeper they find that dogs have been friends of man longer than they had previously thought. In an Alabama cave, diggers found the skeleton of an Indian at least 4,000 years old and nearby, buried ceremonially in a well-made tomb with slab sides, was a stone blade and the skeleton of a dog. There is evidence that men and breeds of dogs similar to those known today shared caves in Eu- rope 9,000 years ago. Prehistoric artists made carvings of their dogs. Assyrians developed two well- known breeds, the greyhound and the mastiff and the Egyptians bred a dog similar to the Great Dane. oa) MORE LIGHT ON THE MAYAS RCHEOLOGISTS of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania Mu- seum have been digging since 1956 in the ruins of the Mayan cere- monial city of Tikal near the center of the Yucatan Peninsula in north- ern Guatemala. There are still hundreds of tem- ples, huge palaces, plazas and courts in Tikal which have not been searched. The museum team hopes to complete mapping the vast ruins

16 and make additional excavations by the expiration date of the project in 1966. Although five years of work has barely scratched the surface in the huge area a new understanding of Mayan culture and history is al- ready suggested. Recently a tomb which had been cut into solid rock was excavated and three skeletons found, includ- ing the headless remains of an adult male, probably a priest-ruler. Un- usual was the discovery of a date painted on the wall of the tomb which corresponds with the Chris- tian date March 18, 457 A.D. A three-legged vase was found which is especially significant in that it’s design, painted in many colors, suggests that the Mayans had contact with pre-Aztec Mex- ican Indians. Linton Satherwaite, curator of the American section of the mu- seum, said the Mayans probably achieved a village way of life about 15 centuries before Christ. At the peak of their culture they built temples that still stand, manufac- tured paper and books, and became expert mathematicians. Tikal itself was abandoned around 900 A.D. for unknown reasons. oo) THE ENDURING CUSTOM PESSIMISTIC ethnologist once figured that among a primitive FATE people, where writing does not ex- ist and traditions must be passed on by word of mouth, any great tradition is bound to be lost in a century or two. Apparently this pronouncement is open to considerable question. Recently Archeologist James Mel- laart unearthed an early Neolithic settlement in the heart of Anatolia, about 185 miles southeast of An- kara, Turkey. Rare frescoes, statu- ettes, jewelry, hunting equipment, and household utensils have been recovered and the whole has been dated to a minimum of 8,000 to 9,000 years old. Even that long ago, these Catalhoyuk people spun yarn and wove cloth. Bone weav- ing needles and clay spindle whorls were found. They also practiced agriculture. But back to the problem of en- during traditions . .. . the first ob- ject found at Catalhoyuk was a blue bead. Blue beads of this type are still worn in Anatolia as charms. io a) PETROGLYPHS IN CALIFORNIA HIS MAGAZINE has devoted several articles to a discussion of petroglyphs, offering conclusions substantially different from the or- thodox theories that petroglyphs in the United States are merely dec- orative Indian rock carvings of fairly recent origin.

Present day Indians ap- pear to have lost, or never known, the meaning of many figures that appear in many carvings.

When the library moved into its present building in 1926, Mr. Cram- er, the janitor, moved into the base- ment and it was his only home. After regular hours in the library, he would walk from floor to floor through the building, through the stacks and up to the balcony of the rotunda, playing his violin. He would sit in the balcony play- ing for hours, alone with the silence and the books. It is this music, some believe, that is heard drifting like a wraith through the building

Fuson, of Santa Cruz, Calif., feels he has found an “ele- ment” which can tap an inexhaust- ible source of electrical. power from a “cosmic powerhouse”. He believes that the “element”, comprised of uncommon but gen- erally available organic materials, is constantly recharged with electric- ity from cosmic radiation. _ “Jt is a chemical substance which works like a magnet, drawing elec- tricity and energy from the universe. It probably has been charging up 21 the earth for hundreds of years,” the inventor stated. Fuson’s claims have, naturally, been met with skepticism and Fuson himself seems awed by the “un- knowns” involved. His approaches to testing the “element” have been pretty unscientific. At the same time Mr. Fuson welcomes inspec- tion of the several exhibits he has set up to demonstrate the “cosmic charge” and he says, “We’re in- terested in finding out about this ourselves.” Fuson, and his associate, Lloyd Heath, a self-taught electrical en- gineer, have filled the bottom of a can with the “element” — appar- ently a2 compound in hardened plas- BIORHYTHM CHARTING The book BIORHYTHM explains why we have physical, emotional and mental Ups and Downs — and how these cycles, so important in our daily affairs, can be predicted.

The sales were beyond expectation and the reports from those who visited Nevada were remarkable, Several wrote that they had “vivid’’ dreams and had wonderful success in playing tickets. One man “hit”? three 7 spots in 30 minutes! It was not the intention of John Bok to in- duces ANYONE to play KENO, but merely to test their powers of oneiromancy, a one man unsubsidized project on a very debatable ques- tion. Mr. Bok had learned how the ancient Chin- ese, who originated the game of KENO over 4,000 years ago, played from their dreams. James A. Michener tells in his best seller “HAWAII” about the Chinese playing a similar game from dream interpretation. Mr. Bok believes thousands of people have predictive dreams and use them in this type of ‘‘venture,’’ but keep the secret to themselves, fearing ridicule from friends and ‘‘cranks.’’ “HOW I BEAT KENO IN RENO” is in- triguing reading for the ‘‘psychic’’ and a MUST for anyone visiting Nevada!

When the switch is flipped a small 25-watt bulb glows. A 100- watt bulb will also glow, but weak- ly. An electrical engineer, testing the apparatus, found that it produces an electro-motive force of about 60 volts —— considered to be excep- tional for such a simple unit. How- ever, the amperage is low, result- ing: in power of between eight and 12 watts. No shock results from touching both wires. One engineer stated there are a number of pos- sible explanations for this lack of shock, but he did not say what they are. Fuson has made a number of Observations about the “element” fn its present state of condensation: {Lhe “cosmic powerhouse” recharges continually, though slower indoors; amperage seems to build up with quantity of the “element”; there is no alternating current registration; the current has a definite direction of flow; and the apparatus and ma- terial haye not been checked out for radioactivity.

I SEE BY THE PAPERS THE PHARAOH’S CURSE ORD WESTBURY died in July, 1961, at Geneva, Switz- erland at the age of 46. No cause of death was given. His father, Capt. Richard Bethell, also died suddenly at the same age. In fact, Lord Westbury was the fourth mem- ber in his British family to die un- expectedly since 1929. All these deaths are said to be the result of the legendary curse of the Pharaohs. Captain Bethell had a hand in excavating the tomb of Tutankhamen in 1923. The curse on the tomb read, “Death shall come on swift wings to him who toucheth the tomb of the Pha- raohs.” ‘ Bethell died six years later. His father, who had kept relics from the tomb in his home, committed suicide the next year. Bethell’s widow killed herself five years ago. Lord Westbury is survived by a brother and a sister who reportedly do not believe in the curse.

WCPO can’t explain it — the sta- tion can’t originate color broad- casts in the first place, the film wasn’t in color in the second place, and the Coghill TV set can’t show color in the third place. Mrs. Vera Schulte, station public relations director, said, “This is like the case in London where a TV station picked up broadcasts from a station in Texas. Professional en- gineers saw and heard it. But the Texas station had gone off the air two years before.” * oO Ok HE WIFE OF A Lancaster country mortician received a startling telephone call from an elderly woman friend the first week of last May. It was a business call and the woman wished to make ar- rangements for her own funeral. “Next time you see me,” she said, “T’ll be dead. In fact, you are the last person to whom I will talk, outside of my own family.” With that she said a pleasant “goodbye” and hung up. She was mistaken about one thing. The undertaker’s wife was the /ast person to whom the woman spoke; she lapsed into a coma after leaving the phone and never re- gained consciousness. She did not get to speak to her “family”. A few days later she died and the mortician carried out the orders she FATE had given for her own funeral. CO COLD LIGHT Cats AT John Hopkins University are finding out some of the secrets surrounding the mysterious cold light of the firefly’s glow. They have succeeded in re- producing firefly light in the lab- oratory by combining five chem- icals, Dr. William D. McElroy began the study about 15 years ago by buying fireflies from Maryland children. He paid them 25 cents a 100. And he bought as many as 80,000 every summer, because the compounds causing the firefly’s flash occur in such small quantities. By 1952 Dr. McElroy had iso- lated five substances responsible for the strange cold light. They are oxygen from the air, certain mag- nesium salts, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and two hitherto unknown compounds named luciferon (light giver) and lusiferase, an enzyme that makes luciferon work. A team of chemists, headed by Dr. Emil H. White, began analyz- ing luciferon about three years ago and last year its composition was determined and it became possible to synthesize the compound in the laboratory. The most they have been able to make is one gram of it —the same amount contained in 2,000,000 fireflies.

I SEE BY THE PAPERS MILESTONE ~ | ae JUNE 19 there died in Rome one of the few living stigmatists — one who bears the wounds of Christ on the Cross. Sister Helena Ajello, 66, a nun, was thought to be a saint by thous- ands of Italian pilgrims who visited her at Cosenza in Calabria Province. Her five wounds first appeared 40 years ago and bled on the first Fri- day of every month. Sister Helena would go into a trance, her wounds would bleed, and then, according to witnesses, she would speak languages she never had learned, including ancient Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic. She once described what hap- pened during her trances, according to Reuters: “TI scream because it is the Virgin’s will, and I see Christ and converse with him in the lan- guages of the ancient holy texts...” CoO MESSAGE FROM BEYOND R.

Recently a parapsychology sym- posium heard a report from Dr. Louisa which was passed on to us through UPI. Dr. Louisa called it strong evidence for the survival of human personality after death. It concerns the amazing story of 25 a four-year-old boy who was scrib- bling what appeared to be a form of shorthand during a kindergarten class. The teacher identified the shorthand as an old type no longer used. She was able to translate it as a message from the boy’s father who had died two weeks earlier. The message described important papers in a safety deposit box which the dead man’s family had not known existed. This case is one of four that Dr. Louisa Rhine has found that she believes could have been caused only by “spirit agents.” CO HEARING — NOT SEEING IRGINIA L.

Amazing story of Doris Gregg (left) and sister, ‘3 contact with a UFO is told by Mrs. & > ee Mrs, Connie Sypert. What could you think if beams and shafts of white light had dogged your footsteps for 13 years? By ED yas Dalhart Gregg HE WEIRD SIGNIFICANCE of my situation did not become completely clear to me until the last and most recent visit from my silent and luminescent guest. Now I am thoroughly convinced of what I have suspected for so long about the purpose and composition of the elusive object. The whole uncanny business started on a farm near Longview, 27 Tex., 13 years ago in 1948 on a hot August night when a whole fleet of huge, glowing disks came swooping down from the western sky and put on an amazing—and for many a_ frightening—perfor- mance for our city and whole sur- rounding countryside to witness. I was one of the many hundreds who, with my family, stood in silent awe and watched their gyra-
Page 28
28 tions. But unlike the hundreds of others who were watching that night, I was chosen—for what reason I do not yet know—to be put under careful observation by those shining visitors from the un- known. As they swooped across the sky one great white object rapidly ap- proached an area over the field be- hind our house. There it slowed and became stationary so that we could observe the thing in all its shining grandeur. I turned to my sister, Connie, who was standing beside me and exclaimed, “I wonder if that thing has intelligence, and if it is as interested in watching us as we are in watching it?” Instantly a shaft of white light descended from beneath the object and struck the field 100 yards be- hind our house. Then it moved to- ward us until we were completely bathed in white light. My sister and IJ were utterly astonished and tried to look upward into the shaft of light. But my mother, Mrs. Lon- nie Williams, became frightened and turned to run into the house. Immediately the light went out and the great object soared away, fol- lowing the others which were rapid- ly disappearing across the sky. For many days afterward every- one talked about the flying lights. Many spoke of trying to shoot them down if they returned. But FATE Connie and I, from the moment we were bathed in their light, found ourselves oddly fascinated and actually anticipating their early re- turn. When we were alone we dis- cussed the spectacular phenomena we'd witnessed. We both deeply de- sired to see them again. Our wish was granted quite un- expectedly one night two weeks later. I'd been rather late prepar- ing supper and by the time I’d set the food on the table I was over- tired and not very hungry. I said to my husband and sister, “I think Tl go sit out on the front porch and rest while you two eat supper.” The humid August night was moonless but the number and bril- liance of the stars captured my at- tention. I left the porch to stand quietly on the front lawn gazing upward. My mind turned to thoughts of the strange lights. I was about to return to the porch when I noticed a glowing light suddenly come into view in the dark sky. It seemed to be ap- proaching our house from the north- west, moving slowly and in com- plete silence. As it descended I could see a glowing object pulsat- ing with light, expanding and con- tracting at regular intervals. Connie! I must call her—let her see it, too! I shouted her name, while I watched the mysterious light hover over our field. She didn’t hear me and I shouted louder. She
Page 29
“T AM BEING WATCHED BY A UFO!” 20 still didn’t come so I turned and ran toward the house, shrieking for her to come quickly. “What’s the matter, Doris?” Connie yelled as she rushed onto the porch. “The light! The light!” “Where?” she cried as excited, now, as I was. “Up there.” I pointed behind me. “It’s just hanging —” I stopped short for the light was rapidly disappearing across the field, rising higher into the sky as it went. We stood there staring after the thing until my sister spoke. “Why'd you shout so loudly, Doris? You must have scared it off.” “Yes, I guess so,” I agreed. “But I didn’t know and I did so want you to see it, too.” The first indication we had that this glowing object still lingered in our vicinity came one evening an- other two weeks later. Connie, my three year old son, and I were visit- ing my mother, who lived on the farm adjoining ours. Our houses are about a quarter of a mile apart. The late summer heat was still intense; so we sat on quilts spread on the grass in the yard. It was dusk and a few stars were beginning to show in the darker part of the eastern sky. From the densely wooded area some distance away, in front of the house, came the steady crescendo of strident in- sect music. We could hear faint voices from a newly built neigh- bor’s home some 400 yards or more from my parent’s house, which is quite secluded among overhanging trees. I stretched out beside my child on the quilt listening to my mother and sister’s conversation. I was about to fall asleep when I saw a very peculiar light rising slowly from behind the dark outline of the trees. I pushed myself to a sitting position and called Connie’s atten- tion to it. We all stared at the odd light which, as it cleared the tree tops, became stationary,. appearing to hover, expanding and contracting at regular intervals, for several sec- onds. Then it began moving slowly toward us. The thing was clearly visible against the might sky. It frightened my mother who ran to- ward the house, but my sister and I stood our ground. Suddenly the quiet was broken by the terrified screams of my little boy who’d awakened and, seeing the pulsating light, began crying in terror. We tried to quiet the baby, and I hugged him close against me. “Look, it’s gone!” my _ sister whispered. I looked and, sure enough, the night sky was empty again—except . for stars. The next instant the sound of the

30 : telephone ringing sent us scurrying into the house. It was our neigh- bor lady, Mrs. Harrison, across the field. She was puzzled, she said, about a strange light she’d seen moving above the trees beyond her house. She wanted to know if we’d seen it, too, and if we knew what it was. We told her, yes, we’d seen it but we didn’t know what it was. Later that evening, after we’d told Mother goodnight and gone home, we put the baby to bed, then we talked for a long time about the thing we’d seen. The next morn- ing when my husband came home from work I told him about it but he said he had no idea what it was. After that night Connie and I spent every evening sitting out- doors, watching for the light to re- turn, and wondering how, if it did, we could contact it. Finally we formed a plan which we felt rea-~ sonably certain would work. One evening we had finally gone to bed around 1:15. We must have fallen asleep immediately. But I was awakened sometime later and glancing at my luminous alarm clock I saw the time was 2:30. Then I noticed the sound which must have disturbed my sleep. From the open windows at the head of my bed I could hear the rushing noise of a strong wind. I supposed that a storm must be coming up and I jumped up to FATE lower the windows. However, the thin curtains on either side of the large, open windows at the head of my bed were not moving at all. Not a branch or a leaf of the shrubbery ‘growing just outside the windows even swayed. But the front yard was bathed in white, phosphores- cent light! I pressed my face close against the window screen. I saw that the large, thickly leafed magnolia tree in our yard was being twisted and shaken violently. It seemed as though it would be torn from the ground. As I watched in astonish- ment, I noticed that the eirie light was growing more intense. I left the window and ran into Connie’s room to awaken her. But when we both rushed back the light was gone. The yard lay quiet and dark. Connie was excited and I was still highly agitated from my ex- perience so we went into the kitch- en and made coffee and sat at the kitchen table talking about the queer incident. “The time has come to try our plan,” Connie told me. “Tomorrow night we'll be prepared and we'll find out if this glowing what-ever- it-is is really interested in contact- ing us,” I admit that the next evening as the time drew closer for our ex- periment to begin we were both nervous. But we were determined to go through with it. We wanted
Page 31
“I AM BEING WATCHED BY A UFO!” 31 to know if such a thing could be done. That evening before my husband left for work I asked him to leave us one of his powerful, five-celled flashlights. He did. Connie and I had decided to use only the flash- light for our first experiment, not wanting to risk frightening off our elusive visitor with a lot of bulky paraphernalia. We also figured we would be most likely to succeed if we chose a place where our view would be unobstructed by surrounding trees. At first we thought of climbing up a ladder onto our roof, but this presented too many difficulties. There are several large trees over- hanging the roof which would cut off some of our view of the sky, and, also, there was the danger of the baby’s falling off the roof. We solved our problem of location by driving my sister’s car across the yard to a completely open place at the edge of the field just a short distance beyond our house. Con- nie’s car had a solid metal top and over this we spread a quilt. Then we clambered up on top of the car and began our attempt to make contact with the mysterious light. We'd left off all the lights in our house and since it sits far back from the main highway without close neighbors, conditions seemed ideal. We’d agreed beforehand to use the same number of flashes from our light and space them at the same intervals as we had notic- ed the strange objects had used each time we’d seen them. We lay on our backs on top of the car with the baby sleeping be- tween us and started our signals while we concentrated mentally on establishing contact. For almost an hour we lay there quietly with no sound except the occasional soft, scuffling noises under the car made by our large mongrel watchdog who had came out to watch us. The soft purring of our two grey cats snug- gled warmly against our legs was more felt than heard. We took turns _ sending our flashing signals toward the dark, star-dotted sky, while we watched and waited for an answer. Suddenly, high in the dark sky a light about the size and shape of a car’s headlight appeared. We sat up, staring at the thing, “Now for the test,” whispered to me. I raised the flashlight and sent the signals upward in a steady and unfaltering succession directly at the object. Almost immediately the light began to move in our direc- tion. Then it stopped and went out, then lit up again. It did this several times, always coming closer and duplicating exactly our signals. “Think hard,” I told my sister. “Think that we want it to come closer.” Connie
Page 32
32 As soon as I said that, the light went out again. But a few seconds later it reappeared—much closer and larger—almost the size of a small washtub. I signaled again and the light seemed to shrink and ex- pand in the same number of an- swering signals. Then it moved still closer and became stationary again. The huge dimensions of the thing became quite apparent to us. I was strongly affected by the awesome spectacle and I wasn’t alone. From beneath our car deep throated growls told me that our dog saw it too and was alarmed. Even the cats stood stiffly humped, emitting the little yowling noises that cats make when they are frightened. The baby stirred rest- lessly between us. My sister’s fingers gripped my arm. “Don’t signal anymore, Dor- is,” she gasped into my ear. There was no need to signal again for the enormous, glowing shape was floating on down toward us with the bouyancy of a gigantic bubble. As I watched its descent and approach J felt the great mass of the thinge—a tremendous, con- trolled force. When it stopped again it was not more than a 100 yards away and probably 30 feet above the ground. ; We saw a huge, undulating sphere of vibrating, yellowish light that was laced around and throughout FATE with veins of deepest orange. The great, globular mass gave off no ~ heat, no smell, and no sound. It just hung there waiting ... The next instant our cats let out squalls of terror and fled. Our dog snarled furiously. I could hear him in the darkness as he went growl- ing across the yard toward the house. The monstrous light was coming closer. The baby began whimpering in his sleep as if he sensed some- thing frightening. For a split sec- ond my sister and I exchanged looks over the baby’s tiny form. Then with a quick movement I snatched him into my arms, we both turned and slid feet first from the car and struck the ground running like crazy towards the dark bulk of the house. When we reached the porch we skimmed up the steps and into the house to stand just inside the open front door, shaking and breathless, trying to quiet my wailing baby. Connie leaned forward and peered cautiously out the door. “Tt’s gone,” she whispered. T looked, too, but only the dark bulk of the car stood at the edge of the field; nothing else! We did not venture out anymore that night but we sat up for a long time talk- ing. “T wonder what would have hap- pened if we’d stayed?” Connie ask- ed me.
Page 33
“JT AM BEING WATCHED BY A UFO!” 33 “T don’t know,” I replied. “But with the baby’s safety at stake, I couldn’t risk finding out.” “T know,” she answered. We had proved we could contact the thing. However, several things puzzled us. Why had our animals been so terrified? Why had we been suddenly overcome with a desire to flee? And, why hadn’t the thing, if it really meant us harm, overtaken us in our flight? It could easily have done so as it could move with great rapidity. We came up with several pos- sibilities: perhaps the great light did not want to overtake us; per- haps the touch of the substance of the thing would have been so com- pletely alien to human or beast that it would have brought death. I personally believe that the thing was repelled by our fears of it, that it really did not mean us any harm, I also believe that the huge, glow- ing sphere was as interested in us as we were in it, that if we had stayed we might have been able to achieve some kind of mental com- munication with the thing. If we had remained would we have learned where it came from and of what substance it was com- posed? The answers to these questions may still be- available to Connie and me because the great UFO is still watching us; I am certain of this. On April 15, 1961, I chanced to go out rather late in the evening to feed my dogs and my son, now 11, called my attention to a strange light, which was moving in our direction, low over the tree tops. I watched as the thing moved closer, then stopped and, for a full minute, deliberately blinked out its rhyth- mic signals. Then it contracted un- til it seemed just to disappear. T am not at all surprised by the reappearance of the light. This re- cent sighting merely confirms my suspicions that it is still around, watching and waiting. Our last attempt to signal the light was on the night of May 30, this year, when Connie and I, and my son, settled ourselves in a large, double hammock in my front yard. The hour was rather late—11:55— and the moonlight was brilliant. We'd barely begun flashing our signal light when an enormous meteor came rushing across the sky and directly over our house, spew- ing flaming fragments for miles around, The earth shaking sonic boom from the meteor so frightened my mother, who is an invalid with a serious heart condition and lives with us now, that we were unable to continue our experiment. However, we're going to try again and, who knows, maybe we will be rewarded by the first inter- view with a UFO visitor from the unknown.

HOUSTGN’S MYSTERIOUS VE EDWIN KING was up early as usual on the Mon- day morning of June 26. It was 8:30 A.M. and she hummed a little song. Everything seemed to be right, she thought. They had been in their new home at 106 East John Albers Street in Fonville Terrace Addition, just north of the city limits of Houston, for only 10 days and Mrs. King was enjoying the new house. Things seemed to be falling into a familiar routine. Ed had just left for work as route manager for a soft drink firm and the kids seemed to be getting acquainted in the neighbor- hood. They were Edwin 11, and Glenda 13. 34 As Mrs. King busied herself about the house she stooped over to wipe up two dark, wet spots on the floor of the dining room, just outside the kitchen. The spots came up easily and stained her wiping cloth red. She lvoked at the cloth, wondered idly where the stain came from, and rinsed it out in the sink. The color washed out under the faucet so it couldn’t have been paint. Mrs. King continued about her household chores, planning her day, wondering idly what the kids were up to. She had every reason to ex- pect a succession of similiar calm and well-ordered days. Next morning, after her husband
Page 35
BLOOD SPOTS had gone to work, Mrs. King again was going through her daily routine of picking up the house. She leaned over to wipe up a couple of dark wet spots in the dining room, just outside the kitchen. They came up red on her wiping cloth. In her mind a bell jangled! She now knew what the red spots were. Blood! Had there ever been a doubt in her mind? And there was something else, too. She couldn’t quite re- member what it was... Strange dreams re- lated by Mrs. Edwin King have deepened mystery of recurring bloodspots. Labora- tory tests have es- tablished that spots were of human blood. By Cats Fee and Dai Walger “Then, on Wednesday morning, both my husband and I got up at 4:00 A.M.,” she later told Marie Dauplaise, a staff writer of the Houston Press. “We both rushed over to look at the tiles. There was nothing there. “We both walked into the kitch- en. I got a salt cellar. My husband was reaching in the icebox. We walked out, and there they were again! All the doors were locked. I started screaming and got hysteri- Bloedspots on the floor; bloodspots on a housewife’s face. The solution to the mystery seemed simple — at first... 35

36 cal. On Thursday morning they were there again! Thursday night Mr. King ob- tained two small squares of plastic and placed them over the tiles where the bloodspots had been ap- pearing. About 1:30 Friday morn- ing he woke up and inspected the plastic squares. They were spotted with blood. When King returned to bed he noticed something else. His wife had several dark spots on her face. He asked 11-year-old Edwin to bring a wash cloth and he wiped her face. The spots looked like blood. Next morning King took the squares of plastic to the police station. A chemist identified the spots on them as human blood. In many households, perhaps, nothing much would have come of this mystery but the Kings were alarmed. Mrs. King showed con- siderable anxiety and her anxiety was communicated to her husband. They wanted to get this problem solved. King stayed up all night Friday and went to bed about 5:00 A.M. Saturday without noting any- thing unusual. After he went to bed, Mrs. King got up and found two new blood spots on the pieces of plastic her husband had laid out on the floor again. She cleaned them up and left the house with- out informing him. Saturday morning two Sheriff’s Deputies called to question King FATE and he told them that nothing had happened Friday night, unaware that his wife had cleaned up the blood spots. At any rate, the police had no explanation for the phe- nomenon, On Saturday night, King was more determined than ever to get to the bottom of their mystery. He set himself an all-night watch armed with a shotgun to catch any culprit who might be entering his house and dropping blood about the place. A neighbor, R. L. Brown, of 102 East John Albers Street, kept him company. Around 4:00 A.M. the two men heard moaning and groaning from Mrs. King’s bedroom. They rushed in to find Mrs. King tossing in an almost trance-like nightmare, They were unable to waken her. On her face was blood! King wiped the blood from his wife’s face and Brown told him to look again. More blood was ap- pearing on Mrs. King’s face. It was as if the blood were seeping through her skin. The disturbance awakened the King’s two children who also saw the blood on their mother’s face. tor "A T THIS POINT it would have been perfectly easy to dismiss the whole mystery as much ado about very little. A few blood spots on the floor! A few blood spots on Mrs. King’s face! An obvious con-
Page 37
HOUSTON’S MYSTERIOUS BLOOD SPOTS 37 nection between the two! What of that? Sheriff’s deputies Wes Schultea and Harold Carpenter, who visited the home on Sunday, saw blood spots reappear on Mrs. King’s face after being wiped away. The only explanation they had to offer was that they were caused by a mos- quito. They hunted about for one —even under the bed—but no mosquito was found. Mrs. King visited a skin special- ist later in the week and he ob- served one broken blood vessel near her ear. However, the blood usually comes from the middle of her left cheek though occasionally it also comes from her forehead. The dermatologist found Mrs. King’s pulse was normal and her blood pressure slightly below nor- mal. Later Mrs. King had her blood typed and found she had Type O, RH positive. Apparently there was no physical reason for the repeated oozing of blood. However, as we shall see later, there may have been a psychic reason. On July 6, 10 days after the first blood spot was observed, the Kings wanted to forget the whole thing. “Frankly I’m happy with the situ- ation as it is,” Mrs. King said. No further blood or skin tests of Mrs. King were planned. It had been a great nuisance to them. Strangers and crackpots of all kinds had come to the house and asked impertinent questions. Crowds of people came by on foot and in automobiles. Those who didn’t come in stared. One man proposed to go into business with the Kings by exploiting Mrs. King’s strange abilities. Neighbors moved away from a house next door because of their fear of the “bloodspot mystery.” King finally put up a “No Visit- ors” sign in front of the house. Fate’s editors were not com- pletely satisfied with the “explana- tions” of the Houston mystery, however. Several persons in that city kept Fate informed of the King’s situation and there were a number of fairly obvious questions that not even an attempt was made to answer. For example: @ Was the bleeding on Mrs. King’s face akin in its psychic origin to the bleeding on the hands, fore- heads and sides of famous stigma- tists like Therese Neumann? @ Why was there never any blood reported on Mrs. King’s bedding, her hands, or her night clothes? (Later the blood did appear on a pillow, but it has never shown on Mrs. King’s hands although some- times the drops had been smeared on her face.) @ How had the blood actually gotten from Mrs. King’s face onto the tiles? ® Why did the bloodspots always
Page 38
38 appear on those particular tiles — the same ones day after day? Fate sent an investigator to the King home. At first the Kings were reluctant to talk with him, but a reappearance of the bloodspots on Monday, July 17, which was two weeks after their last previous ap- pearance on July 3, seems to have worried and upset them. They agreed to talk with David Wuliger, Houston University faculty mem- ber. Out of this interview has come, as so often happens in these mat- ters, an even deeper mystery, one that Fate does not pretend to solve but that has fascinating psychic in- tricacies. Mr. Wuliger visited the King home and talked with all members of the family. He found them pleas- ant, “normal”, and gracious. He was surprised to observe that Mrs. King was able to talk about the bloodspots with considerable de- tachment. Nonetheless, the family as a whole seemed troubled and deeply wishing to have authorative help with their problem. They seemed not so much frightened as deeply concerned about the continuation of the bloodspots, and especially about the emotional effect that their situation might have on the two children. All this was quite understandable and realistic. And it was here that the Kings FATE disclosed a deeper mystery ... pe eckare sk NVARIABLY BEFORE the bloodspots appear, they ex- plained, Mrs. King has had a dream. The dream is always basically the same. In the dream she is facing and talking with her double. This psychic double, or image, or astral projection — whatever you wish to call it — has a face exactly like Mrs. King’s except that it al- ways seems to be covered with a thin veil. Mrs. King can see her own features but not as clearly and sharply as if the veil were not there. There is no background in her vision. The hair is not distinguish- able but the image is always clothed in a loose-fitting white robe, ex- tending from her neck to the floor. No feet ever show. Mrs. King’s image talks with her in a voice just like her own. They call each other by their first name, Doris. And the gist of each con- versation is that the double keeps assuring Mrs. King that “all will be well.” This always puzzles Mrs. King because, she assured Mr, Wuliger, except for the problem created by her double all really is well with them; the Kings have no major problems of any kind. During his wife’s dreams (the Kings call them “nightmares”) Mr. King hears her muttering incoher-
Page 39
HOUSTON’S MYSTERIOUS BLOOD SPOTS 39 ently, though in her own voice, and making whimpering sounds, like those of an animal. These noises sound “frightening” to persons who have not heard them before. Mr. King always attempts to wake his wife from these dreams but with little success. She seems to be in a deep trance. Upon wak- ing, Mrs. King always complains of feeling extremely cold — her hus- band says she feels “stone cold”. This is noteworthy because sum- mer night temperatures in Houston range between 75°and 85° and the Kings have no air conditioner. The dream bloodspot sequence is invariable and it is not confined to the King’s home. It occurred one night when Mrs. King slept in her mother’s home. The dream-blood- spot sequence has also occurred when either one or the other of the two children were gone for the night. No other unusual manifesta- tions have taken place in the King home, incidentally. Twice Mrs. King has seen her image when she was not asleep. On one occasion she had awaken- ed after one of her nightmares. Her husband had washed the blood from her face and she had gone back to bed. Almost immediately, while still awake, she saw her double rise from the bed, float through the doorway, and then through the closed door of the rear bedroom. Mrs. King jumped out of bed and her double vanished. She felt freezing cold. The second time Mrs. King saw her double was on Monday, July 24. Mr. King had risen, looked at his wife’s face (no blood), and then checked the two tiles on the dining room floor (no blood there, either). He called to his wife that there was no blood anywhere and Mrs. King arose and walked to the door- way of the dining room, which is about 12 feet from the doorway to the kitchen. As she stood looking towards the kitchen, she saw her image float in front of the kitchen doorway. Immediately a whole line of bloodspots, large and small, ap- peared in the usual place on the floor. Mrs. King turned to get her husband, who had gone back to the bedroom. By the time they looked again, the image was gone. Neither Mr. King nor the children have ever seen Mrs. King’s double. Fate interviewer Wuliger asked Mrs. King if the double ever had given a reason for the bloodspots. Mrs. King answered that the image told her the blood spots appear so she will have proof that she really has been talking with her image. Two incidents occurred before the first of the bloodspots appeared that may or may not have triggered them. The first, of course, was the Kings moving into their new home. A household move is very often a
Page 40
40 psychic wrench and their move oc- curred only 10 days or so before the first bloodspots appeared. The other incident that may have triggered the manifestations is that the day before they started Mr. King was digging in the yard near the house and he dug up what he thought at first was a building block. It turned out to be a tomb- stone, but without a name inscribed on it. A partial probe, at least five feet, produced no coffin. This too could have had a strong psycho- logical effect on Mrs. King. A general overall look at the King family might show they are not as calm as they seem at first glance. They obviously have been quite upset by the bloodspot mani- festations. Mrs. King herself is an ulcer patient and was hospitalized shortly before the family moved. Since the bloodspots came her ulcers have not troubled her. The ulcer complication appears to offer a partial solution to this mystery—but only a partial solu- tion. FATE Dr. Nandor Fodor, the New York psychoanalyst consulted by Fate on this case, suggests that the ap- pearance of the blood spots might be labelled a novel cure for ulcers. “Tt fits well into the mechanism that Freud called transference from below to above,” comments Dr. Fo- dor. “Instead of bleeding inside her stomach, Mrs. King bleeds on her face. With this remarkable physio- logical process her ulcer pains van- ish. Whatever the story of her stomach complaints may be no bet- ter place in the human body could be found for bringing something in- to consciousness, or visibility, than the face. “This, however, is only a small part of the story.” Other complications, of course, include Mrs. King’s double, the ap- pearance of the blood spots on the tiles, the strange finding of the tombstone and so on. In summary, this strange Houston case has raised more questions than it has answered. Perhaps the last word is yet to be written about it. & DAMAGE IN DUPLICATE NTONIO PALAZZA, 22, of Utica, Mich., and Leon Turner, 20, of Yale, Mich., brothers-in-law, were involved in separ- ate auto accidents within a space of two hours recently.

‘Woman who "Sees" Tomorrow By George Bu ihe Hitler is alive, Moslems will fight Russia ne these are some forecasts by a Florida | woman, many of whose predictions have come true. Sarees HROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES human beings have been fas- Paar cinated by the unending mystery of what the future holds feo es in store. In every generation they have believed in the ability eae of a gifted few to peer beyond the veils of time. cae There were the prophets of Old Testament days who told of things to come—even foretelling the birth of Christ.

Page 42
42 Mrs. Jane Savage, of Lakeland, Fla., does not claim to be a great prophet, like the Biblical prophets or like Nostradamus, yet a remark- able number of predictions she has made since 1918 have come true. She says she has been given “a wee grain of foresight or spiritual pro- phecy” and with it the “responsi- bility of using it to help my fellow man.” Mrs. Savage, 83, is bedridden in a Lakeland nursing home and has a lot of time to think these days. Most of her family and friends have crossed into the unknown. But the “unknown” is not so mysterious to Mrs. Savage. What she calls her power of “spiritual prophecy” has amazed nearly ey- eryone who has come in contact with her. A few biographical details about Mrs. Savage will help bring her glimpses of tomorrow into closer focus. Born in a. small town in New York State, she had a normal childhood, was talented in music— singing and the piano—and did well in school. She lived for about 30 yearsin New York City, won a measure of success as a singer, and married her singing teacher, Paul Savage. They moved to Florida in 1936 and he died three years later. Since then she has led a rather lonely life, although she was active in social and charitable affairs un- til she became bedridden. FATE She doesn’t usually tell people she is psychic. “It’s such a hard, diffi- cult life to be different. People think you are crazy. They just don’t understand when, say, asixth sense is involved. I suppose if I had lived in colonial days, they would have burned me as a witch.” Things are changing a bit now, she adds, since Edgar Cayce, since Dr. J. B. Rhine’s extrasensory ex- periments at Duke University, and since the growing interest in hyp- nosis and psychic phenomena. * Ok Ox ie was on September 22, 1918, Mrs. Savage recalls, that she suddenly felt she was becoming clairvoyant and saw the “teacher” who has guided her life to a great extent ever since. At that time her husband was in Italy in war-time work and she, like nearly everyone else, thought World War I might last for an- other two or three years. After a tiring day, she seated her- self in the living room of her New York apartment and closed her eyes. “Suddenly, a man appeared in front of me and told me to write what he was about to tell me.” She described the man as dress- ed something like an Oriental po- tentate or priest. “He wore a saf- fron robe, a belt with hieroglyphies, and a turban fastened with an em- erald.” She obtained a pad of legal-size
Page 43
THE WOMAN WHO “SEES” TOMORROW 43 paper, a pencil and wrote what he dictated. “I wrote prophecies for an hour and a half and they cov- ered 28 pages.” Here are some of the prophecies given her on that day in 1918 when the war was still raging: The war would end before No- vember 15. (The Armistice was November 11.) Her husband, Paul, would be decorated twice and return home by Christmas. (He did.) The Kaiser (of Germany) would flee to a small country and die there. (He did, in Holland.) Within 20 years, an Austrian will get so much power in his own right that he will lead Germany in- to another war, only to lose. (Re- member Hitler?) The United States would be the pocketbook for the world. (How true! ) The eastern and western coasts of North and South America will be changed by catastrophic earth- quakes and tidal waves. (Did Chile get a sample?) The volcanoes under the Pana- ma Canal will blow up, close the canal, and automatically open a Nicaraguan Canal. (This awaits fulfillment.) Europe will rise like a phoenix but it will be America’s wealth that will fan the flame and it will never be appreciated. (Ask any U.S. tax- payer.) As the years go on, labor and capital will clash more and more. All classes will cry for more money and work less time. (Remember, this prophecy was made in 1918.) Oe Eg ‘A LTHOUGH the “teacher” has re- appeared several times to her, Mrs. Savage said, he has not dic- tated such lengthy prophecies since that time. Two years later, in 1920, she was told: The United States will start on a wild orgy of money-making, mostly on paper. In 1928, an eco- nomic change will take place, and in 1929, the great crash will come, which will change the economic systems all over the world. Five years later, she was told: If we look a mile and one-half under the surface of our own Southwest (Arizona and New Mex- ico) we will find the remains of the greatest as well as the oldest civilization known to man. In 1932 she gave the follow- ing prophecy about Franklin Dela- no Roosevelt: He will make a scrap of paper of the Constitution and the Supreme Court will be a shambles. He will bring the country into war and long after he has known that Japan will attack. He will give strategic points of land to another country (Rus- sia). She went on to forecast:
Page 44
44 In the next 30 years, all motors will take power from the air, and probably man will have learned the first lessons in harnessing the lower currents of the great mag- netic wave that ebbs and flows around your planet. (The 30 years should be extended.) King Edward VIII will abdicate from the British throne because too much pressure will be brought by his mother, the church, and Mr. Baldwin (prime minister). He will say that he is giving up his throne because he loves an Amer- can divorcee. It would be good for England to forego traditions for once. The English dominions will be- come separate and self-sufficient. Mrs. Savage has taken notes on seven “psychic journeys” she says she has taken in a spiritual sense. She said she explored under- ground cities, and lost wonders of ancient civilizations, and was led to believe that “Life was never ending and that as we cooperate with the Life Source all knowledge is given us to be given out to oth- ers.” In 1939 Mrs. Savage made this prophecy: Japan will attack us (the Unit- ed States) in a couple of years and we will have a hard time for the next five or six years. The leaders in Germany, Russia, Italy and Ja- pan have been loosed upon the FATE world and chaos will be rampant. In 1947, she said: The Marshall Plan should be whittled. Europe is older and craftier than you are here (in the United States). She is tra- ditional and you are smug. If you do Europe’s work for her, you de- lay her progress. eee T° 1950 came this prophecy: Russia will never dare bomb the United States but her policy is to make you think she will. She will sabotage millions of dollars in air lines. Her lessons of hate to her young men have made many who will commit suicide for their coun- try. Russia will enslave her own people and the prisoners of war she has from many nations in or- der to build for the Third World War. She will and must go into the Near East and there she will meet defeat. She recorded these messages in 1952: Why should you (America) be so interested in other nations when your own country is going into bankruptcy unless something is done about inflation and dishon- esty in government? Eisenhower should forget per- sonalities and consult with MacAr- thur on Asiatic problems, as he knows more about the Far East than anyone else in this country. The day the Red Chinese are taken into the United Nations—
Page 45
THE WOMAN WHO “SEES” TOMORROW 45 that day will see the real blotting out of the good the United States can do for the world. The Moslems will rise and at least 10 million of them will fight both Israel and Russia. This will be the last phase of the war that really began in 1914 and is known as Armageddon. Eventually it will bring about the Brotherhood of Man that Jesus taught. In 1954, she said: Hitler is in South America, with Eva Braun and Martin Bormann. He has been in Mexico twice and once, just to satisfy his vanity, he came into the United States. Japan will someday sink into the ocean. The power of the tides, and tak- ing power from the air, or ethers that surround our planet, will rev- olutionize transportation. - Salt is a condiment, salt is a pur- ifier, salt in connection with mer- cury is an explosive that will open the door to untold wealth. When the doctors begin to use one-third as much radium and mag- netize it by magnetic rays that come closer and closer to the earth, they will come nearer to a cure for cancer. peek be Epcar Cayce, Mrs. Savage has become a firm believer in reincarnation. Most of us, she is convinced, have lived several pre- vious lives on this earth. And each return is for a purpose—to work out some problem, in another body, that was left unsolved in the pre- vious life or lives. She was once told by her “teach- er” that he was her father in a previous life. “Why will we not recognize re- incarnation as factual instead of as the crazy idea of a few old men and women?” she asks. “One little life or day in school is hardly enough to explain a Mozart, an Einstein, an Emerson or even a Hitler.” Far from contradicting the Bi- ble, she believes reincarnation un- derscores its teachings. “Try read- ing the Bible with reincarnation in mind, and many pieces will fall in- to place, many mysteries will solve themselves.” When Jesus preached that a person must be born again, “He meant exactly that, born in a physical and a spiritual sense.” I talked with Mrs. Savage a few days after the Russians had astounded the world by shooting a man into orbit around the earth and returning him alive. She told me: “The Russians have shot three men into space. Two of them were quite dead on return. The third was barely alive. He was not Yuri Gagarin. The real space man was in no condition to take the glory. Gagarin, who never left the earth, was chosen to take the glory.”

How to Speak WITH GOD Famed Bible scholar tells how he communicates directly with God through visions and dreams. HE ARAMAIC term Khizwa, vi- sion, means to see something in the realm of the spirit. And the term Giliana, revelation, means to uncover that which is hidden from the eyes of the flesh but exposed to the eyes of the spirit. This is because in the realms of the spirit there is neither time nor space— everything is there and wide open. In other words, visions and reyela- tions are man’s sixth sense. Most of the revelations and vi- sions of God take place during the night hours when men are asleep and nature is silent; when God speaks and instructs and warns his creatures just like a father teaches and admonishes his chil- dren. During the stillness of night when man’s mind is free from the cares of this world the spirit transcends his physical limitations and meets with the universal Spirit from which it emanated, 46 By Gesrge WM. 7 Gee Most of God’s revelations and admonitions came to the holy pro- phets in metaphors, similies and figurative speech so that they might understand their meaning. This is because human language cannot clearly convey spiritual ideas, nor depict spiritual im- ages. Material things can be de- scribed by their qualities, forms and shapes. But there are no words whereby a spiritual idea can be measured, described or ex- plained; just as no one can de- scribe the colors of flowers to a blind man who has never seen colors. Spiritual ideas are eternal, universal and free from time and space. Therefore they are incom- prehensible in human tongue. Therefore they have to be ex- plained spiritually, in parables and in figurative speech. For this rea- son the vision of a prophet or a revelator is difficult for other men
Page 47
to imagine and accept. The Holy Bible relates hundreds of instances where God spoke to man; and where God, the Eternal Spirit, appeared as a man to the eyes of the flesh and yet there was neither flesh nor blood nor form nor shape in the figure which re- sembled man. That is to say, man saw God as another man, and con- versed with him as he converses with another man; and he enter- tained him as he entertains a neigh- bor. But all these things take place only in a vision or in a flash or trance during the night, or during the day when man is meditating on spiritual things. For example, Abra- ham entertained God, washed his feet, prepared food for him. It all took place in the spirit; even though he saw the Creator eating and drinking water, God did not eat nor drink water. In the realms of the Spirit what was true yesterday is true today. Visions can be seen even today, providing men believe in them and are tuned to the inarticulate voice of the Spirit. As we have said, vi- ~ sions are man’s sixth sense. That is to say, when men are on the spir- itual beam they can converse with the unseen spiritual forces and with God and they receive guidance and direction from God. The Hebrew prophets withdrew into the deserts and other desolate places to medi- tate and prepare their minds in 47 order to commune with God, the Eternal Spirit, and to receive in- structions and guidance. Even Jesus, himself, went into the silent des- ert and fasted and prayed in order to weaken the forces of the flesh so that the Spirit could transcend the physical forces and contact God. Both Moses and Elijah, the two Hebrew prophets, went to Mt. Sinai and fasted and prayed so that they could receive command- ments and admonitions from God. I believe that even today if our religious and_ political leaders would learn to communicate with God they would be directed and guided in all that they plan and do. If they did so they would save themselves and all of us con- siderable trouble and money. Some of the Hebrew kings, who inquired of God’s prophets, were led to victory after victory. They never were misled because they trusted in the Word of God. Today, most of our leaders in government read the Holy Bible and nearly all of them are believ- ers in God and are members of various churches. They often hear how the prophets communed with God and how God warned prin- ces and kings in the olden days; and how they were defeated when they rejected Gods admonitions and followed their own ways. But today we have neither pro- phets nor seers.
Page 48
48 Although the visions and revel- ations work today just as they did of yore. They come to those who believe in them and are pre- pared to receive them and are cour- ageous enough to share them with their fellow man. It is interesting to know that even today nearly all the people in the Biblical lands still believe in God’s revelations and vi- sions and dreams and are guided by them in their daily lives, in mar- tiages, in travel and business trans- actions. The faithful still heed divine warnings which come to them during the night or in the daytime. * * Ox KNOW THAT visions are true to- day just as they were true in Biblical days. I know the voice which spoke to men of God has never been silenced but continues to speak, to teach, to warn and to admonish, whether men are tuned to it or not. I have seen many things in vi- sions and dreams and all of them have come true. What I saw in dreams turned out to be a pattern which was a reality in the Divine Mind. And what is real in the realm of the spirit can become reality for man, because behind every form or shape there is a spiritual idea which must be manifested to the physical eyes. Prior to 1930, when I began to translate the Bible from the Ara- FATE maic, I was confronted with many difficulties, great opposition and, in some cases, even persecution. For a time the outlook seemed dark. Greek scholars were opposed to translating and publishing the Holy Bible from the Aramaic Pe- shitta, the pure, the true, the au- thoritative Bible of the Christians in the Near and Middle East. They told me that many years ago they had decided the Greek was the or- iginal. And despite all of the per- suasive arguments in favor of the Aramaic texts, internal evidence, history and traditions, they stood firm against my attempt to trans- late. They even wrote against me and discouraged my publishers. They also wrote to men and women interested in the work and told them I was deceiving them. This is not all. They also stated that Aramaic was a dead language and never was used by the Jews for writing; when on the contrary, nearly all the vast Jewish com- mentaries known as Tulmud were written in Aramaic, from 650 B.C. to 650 A.D. Aramaic was the lang- uage of the Hebrew patriarchs who come from Paden-aram to Pales- tine. Unfortunately, some of these Greek scholars were not familiar with Jewish history. They were guided by the works of 17th cen- tury Biblical writers who never had visited the Biblical lands, who probably never had left the shores

HOW TO SPEAK WITH GOD of England, and who did not know that Cathey means “China.” They thought it meant Cypress. Consequently I could not per- suade the scholars; I could not enlist the interest of a single uni- versity, even though some of the scholars believed in me and were inclined toward the Aramaic; but they were afraid to come out for the Aramaic texts. The opposition was so strong that at times I wanted to drop the work of trans- lating; but the inner voice kept prodding me to go ahead, telling me not to be afraid. I started on the Four Gospels with faith and confidence that the Greek was not the language of the Scriptures and that the truth would ultimately triumph and free the people from error. The more I thought of the work and came across clear passages in the Peshit- ta, which were obscure or mistrans- lated in Western versions, the stronger my faith became in the Holy Scriptures. I knew that God’s truth abides forever and always triumphs. One night after prayer and med- itation, I slept and during the night I had a dream: I was as- cending a very high, steep, rugged mountain. The ascent was so dif- ficult that many times I would have fallen except that I held onto the rocks with my nails. After much struggle and pain I arrived at the 49 top of the high mountain and, be- hold, there was a vast beautiful plain graced with all kinds of flowers, fruit trees and herbs. It was like the Garden of God, more beautiful than anything I had seen in all my travels. A fountain is- sued from the center of the plain and the water thereof rose very high and fell on the hills around the plain. While I was still asleep the dream was interpreted to me. I was told that I would face strong opposition and many difficulties but I finally would succeed in my undertaking. I woke up happy, al- though perspiration was dripping from my face. I immediately real- ized the meaning of the whole vision. A few days later, while I was in Philadelphia, I related my dream to an elderly man from my own country who interpreted dreams and visions. When I finished re- lating my dream to him, he looked at me and said: “Your vision is plain—it is the difficult project that you have undertaken. You will have many, many seemingly insurmountable difficulties in your way. At times you will be so dis- couraged that you may try to abandon your work, but you will try again.” He added, “So you see, the steep mountain is symbolic of obstacles in your way. Your fall is symbolical of opposition and dis- couragement; your hanging on the
Page 50
50 rocks with your nails is your will power and perseverance. You will continue to translate despite all the opposition. The broad plain on the top of the mountain which you saw, means the world; the water you saw is symbolic of truth which is contained in your new transla- tion from the Aramaic texts of the churches of the East. And the fall- ing of the water on the hills and valleys means the spread of your work. It was heralded all over the world.” | Before the Four Gospels were published, I had two dreams. One was before I submitted the work to the publishers and it was like this: I was walking in New York City near Lexington Avenue and 34th Street, and I stood watching some presses working in the base- ment of a building. These presses were printing Bibles and the sheets coming off the presses were en- gulfed in flames of fire but they were not burnt. This dream also was explained to me while I was asleep but still I didn’t know ex- actly what would happen. Not long after my publisher sur- prised me by presenting me with a beautifully bound copy of the Four Gospels. I brought it to New York and when I went into my hotel I sat down to read it. Suddenly my telephone rang and I went down in the lobby and to my surprise there were reporters from newspa- FATE pers who wanted to interview me. One of them was from the Literary Digest, another was from the Hearst Press. In a few days the newspapers all over the world were heralding the publication of the Four Gospels directly from the Ara- maic. My publisher was amazed. I had told him about my vision but he had not taken much interest in it. He had said, “I wish that could be true because no publisher can sell books without some publicity, especially a work like this.” The last dream I had about the work came 10 years later. After spending several hours with the publisher, reading the proofs of the New Testament, I went to my room and worked into the late hours of the night and then I slept. During that night I dreamed: I was in the publisher’s house out- side Philadelphia, in a country place. I had been in the house for dinner only once. Now, when [I ar- rived, I saw the house was well lighted. When I came near I again saw presses working very fast in the basement and bundles of paper were all over the basement. There was a large party being entertain- ed in the house. A man stood next to me and said to me, “Your pub- lisher will have a grandson. He himself is the last male child of his family; what you see on the presses is your Bible. He will pub- lish the New Testament and final-
Page 51
HOW TO SPEAK WITH GOD ly the whole Bible. Tell him these things and do not be afraid.” The next day when we started to read the proofs again I told the publisher what I had seen. He smiled and looked at me and said, “I am the last male child of my family. I wish your dream could come true.” I said, “It will come true. All the others have come true.” I told a number of girls at the publishing house about this dream and some of them are still there. When the male child was born to one of the publisher’s daughters, they asked the publisher and he replied, “Yes, George told me that he had seen the birth of a male child in a dream.” Finally, through God’s help and_the generosity of several Christian men and women, the whole Bible was published. The same man signed the contract for it and,the whole work today is in the eighth printing and is also P Si in England. / * * x ~ DREAMS come only believe in them “ugh to share ‘ come when prophets, them. If a person doesn’t believe that he can see a picture on tele- vision he is not going to look at it and therefore he will not see it.

He is lost in a vast universe. He is like a ship which wanders aimlessly, without a rudder. Today the leaders of the world err and stumble in their foreign policies and their governing of the complex races and peoples, simply because they do not seek Divine directions. They rely on human minds and human _ philosophies which are helpless in the face of the complex, international human problems of a growing world dom- inated by the forces of hatred, greed and materialism.

Page 59
AFRICAN TRIBAL JUSTICE FOR A WHITE MAN 55 rison replied sharply. “But what’s all that to do with this?” “Simply that these natives do not believe that it was an accident, and Bulani women never commit suicide,” Steiner explained. “Fur- ther, their own examination of the girl’s body revealed that although she had not yet acquired a husband she was no longer a virgin. That indicated a man. The Bulani moral ‘ code is rigid. They believe that some man who could not afford to buy her—or did not wish to— possessed her, most likely by force, and then drowned her. The witch doctor intends to find that man.” “What?” Morrison stared rigid- ly, mouth agape. “Well, of all the bloody nonsense.” “Watch,” Steiner replied. Morrison concentrated on watch- ing the capering figure of the witch doctor, who was now stopping oc- casionally and glaring at some member of the audience. And then the witch doctor was bent over staring full into Morrison’s eyes. Morrison stared back until every- thing become blurred and out of focus. His spine became jelly. Damn it, then it was true what he had been told, that witch doctors were trained hypnotists. With an effort Morrison wrenched his eyes away and looked down at the ground. The weird figure in mon- key skins capered away, leaving Morrison with goose pimples. He next became aware that Steiner was eyeing him searchingly, that Steiner was-asking: “Do you still think it a lot of bloody non- sense?” Fighting for composure, Morri- son swallowed noisily then snapped: “Ves. The old goat’s a hypnotist, that’s all.” Steiner wagged his head slowly. “Oldtimers who know Africa do not scoff,” he chided gently. “No?” Again Morrison swallowed hard. “Well, what happens next?” “The witch doctor will throw some powdered concoction on the fire, and he firmly believes that embers will shoot out in the direc- tion of the guilty person.” “Good God!” Morrison exploded testily. “Even sillier than I thought.” Without replying, Steiner turned back to watch. The ceremony was clearly work- ing towards a climax. It was past midnight and now there was a tense restlessness among the tribes- men; an unspoken desire for action and results. Fear and respect for the powers of their tribal sorcerer had lent them patience this long, but now they wanted the murderer —wanted his life. And the witch doctor, sensing the impatience, stopped his gyrations and sank to his knees facing the fire. Slowly he opened the small ivory box and scooped: out the contents.
Page 60
56 Just then Morrison felt a tug on his arm. Steiner was motioning him to leave, he himself had risen unob- trusively to his feet. As Steiner faded noiselessly into the shadows, Morrison got up stiffly and fol- lowed him. A drum started to roll, then an- other, and soon there was a pande- monium of drumming that numbed the senses in one swift, paralyzing assault. Morrison stumbled in the blackness, collided with a tree, called to Steiner without hearing his own voice, and then ran into him. Keeping close to each other they hurriedly moved away. And then the drums ceased ab- ruptly. Followed a deep-chested roar of approval, applause and tri- umph, quickly stifled, and silence. Steiner and Morrison involuntarily stopped and looked back. “They'll be in an ugly mood now,” Steiner said, breathing heav- ily. “We got away just in time.” Turning, he walked on. “Steiner,” Morrison called after him, his voice suddenly cracked and shrill with terror. “I can’t follow you! Something—Oh, dear God! Steiner! Steiner! J’ve got to go back!” Before Steiner could reply Mor- rison was crashing back through the bush in the direction of the village. FATE The Bulani stood like statues, silent and immobile, the witch doc- tor in their center, as sweating and panting, Morrison burst on the scene. He stopped on the exact spot he had just left. Dumfounded- ly he then noticed the smouldering embers at his feet. Jaw sagging, whimpering, he looked up. War- riors were now converging on him. soak «ok NDER THE DIRECTION of Dis- trict-Commissioner H il 1-Ca- rew an official inquiry was held. Steiner’s testimony as to Morrison’s visits to the village, the inward compulsion he apparently had felt to attend the ceremony, and his obvious apprehension while watch- ing the dance, which he had tried to conceal by making contemptu- ous remarks, left little doubt as to his guilt. Morrison’s body was so riddled with spear and knife thrusts no one individual member of the Bulani tribe could be charged with his murder, so the punishment meted out was that the Bulani tribe would not be granted permission to hold another dance for a period of two years. This report District Commis- sioner Hill-Carew duly filed with the British Colonial Office, and it duly found its way to the files of the Department of Colonial Af- fairs, African Branch, in London.

Hall N THE SPRING of 1948 I had just pulled up to the curb on South Broadway here in Denver, Colo., and stepped out of my car onto the sidewalk when I saw a strange sight. I intended to get a cup of coffee in an all night restau- rant. The sun had risen about an hour before and I was on my way to work. The restaurant was per- haps 150 feet from where I had parked my car and it was while walking there that I saw and heard them. They were standing very close to each other in a doorway. There were three of them, dressed in golden colored dresses. I stopped and stared at them and tried to understand what they were saying. But they were speaking in a langu- age I never have heard before or since. The sound of their voices was very musical, in fact it was an- gelic. Each was beautiful and seem- ed quite young, according to my standards. After I had stared at them for a few minutes they seemed to become uneasy so I went on to the restaurant. I had my cup of coffee, wonder- ing all the time what I really had seen out there on the sidewalk. Finally I hurried back out, hoping to see them again but they were gone. So I hopped back into my car and started for work. I turned left on Broadway and RAY O. HALL

58 went up to Park Avenue which is perhaps a mile-and-a-half from Broadway, then I turned north on Park Avenue and had driven for about another mile when I saw them again. Now, I had been in that restau- rant only for a few minutes and it would have been a physical impos- sibility for these three to have walked or even run this far in that short a time. They were skipping down the median on Park Avenue and seem- ed to be gliding on air, above the ground. I was driving perhaps 30 miles an hour and they were easily keeping up, just behind the car. When I reached Broadway again and looked behind me they were gone. They had vanished as mys- terious as they had appeared. Over the past 13 years I have looked back on this experience and wondered if I really saw three an- gels. They had no wings or other no- ticeably unusual physical character- istics, except they were more beau- tiful than the most beautiful woman I have ever seen elsewhere. They did do the seemingly impossible, such as appearing and disappear- ing, and skipping along with ease at 30 miles an hour. You may wonder, but I am sure that I wasn’t crazy, drunk or suffer- ing mental aberrations. Possibly what I saw can never be explained FATE - but I do wonder if any of you have seen angels. — Denver, Colo. A Ee MIRACLE . Ted Klein N JANUARY, 1952, I fell in my kitchen and, I thinks hit my head on a door frame. The blow knocked me unconscious and I lay on the kitchen floor from 12:00 o’clock noon of January 28 until 2:00 A.M. January 29. When IJ re- gained consciousness I was unable to move even a finger. I was para- lyzed from head to foot. I lay there and prayed that my outside light would go on as a signal to a friend, Flora Larsonier, who lived about 500 feet north of my place. If she saw the light she would know some- thing was wrong. J heard a click and looking up I could see the switch in the on posi- tion. At the same time Flora Lar- sonier woke from a sound sleep and saw my outdoor light burning. She got up, dressed and came over, un- locked my door and found me where I Jay helpless. Then she ran to a neighboring farm to get help and eventually I was lifted into bed. My friends then spent the rest of that night trying to get a doctor or an ambulance, but none would come. So the next day, the 29th, an- other farm neighbor drove to Cleve- Jand and got my youngest sister, Mrs. Carwin, who hired an ambu- lance from the city to come out and
Page 63
TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES get me. They rushed me to Mary- mount hospital in Garfield Heights. There, after taking some 20 X-ray pictures, they told me I’d never get out of bed again. They said I had been hit by some blunt instrument, like a blackjack, and a blood vessel in the back of my brain had rup- tured and thus paralyzed me. I lay at the point of death in that hos- pital for a month and then I was removed to the Atkins rest home at Medina. Later I was told, they all expected me to die there. But in July, 1952, six months after my injury, Jesus Christ ap- peared at my bedside. He placed his right hand on my left knee and told me I was healed, to get up and walk! The shock made me jump about a foot straight up in the hospital bed. I apparently was healed instantly for the next day I dressed and walked around. I was introduced to the other patients as a living miracle. IT gradually regained my strength and drove back to my home in Sep- tember of 1952, not quite two months after Jesus spoke to me. IT am now 65 years old and, since it is more than nine years that I left the rest home, my miracle has been a lasting one. — Medina, Ohio. THE VANISHED HOUSE By Ruby V. Hall ONCE SAW a house that wasn’t there. 59 My husband, Kenneth, my two sons, James, 12, and John, 10, and I were living south of Grand Junc- tion, Colo., in Orchard Mesa. The area was building up and a super- market opened up three miles or a little more from where we lived. I began to shop there. I don’t remember exactly when I first noticed the house, but it was about the time the bottom fell out of the uranium boom in this area and housing was still short. It was almost impossible to find an empty house and yet across the road and a little north of the supermarket, located between “B” Road and Highway “50” on “29” Road, on the west side, was this house with its windows all boarded up. It was white stucco like so many homes built before World War II. It had a high cement curb around the yard and on this an iron picket fence and gate. The yard was dry; no grass grew, only a few dried-up weeds and two scraggly little elm trees stood by the front steps. I wondered about the house each time I went to market. With hous- ing so short I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t rented. I wondered about it and drove past it from March to November in 1958. Then in November I went to work for the Holland Furnace Com- pany in town. One of the salesmen told me he lived out our way, near the supermarket. I exclaimed, “Oh,
Page 64
60 ~ then you live near the white stucco house that’s all boarded up and empty.” “No,” he said. “There is no empty house where I live.” I argued a bit, but he seemed very positive. He said that property was .part of a peach orchard. I was absolutely sure the house stood there. I had seen it so many times! I even knew there was a crack in the stucco from the left corner of the door frame running up to the roof, That evening when I got off work I drove down the road and stopped the car where my house had always stood. There was no house there! It simply wasn’t there! No house, no fence, no cement curb — just peach trees! I felt rather foolish. But I had seen the house so many times I then began to wonder if I had the right location. I knew I was right, yet I had to look. I drove up one road and down another. But there was no house within a five-mile- square area that looked like the one I had seen. Nor was there a single empty house in this entire area. Of course, I cannot prove it, but I know that I saw what I saw. I do wonder what would have hap- pened if I had taken a picture of this house on one of the many oc- casions when I saw it — would it have shown up on the film? — Granby, Colo. FATE HOME TO HEAVEN By Berryman O. Davids Y GREAT-GREAT-GRAND- FATHER, on Mother’s side of the family, lay dying. He was in his late 80’s, a man who had lived a long and consecrated life. The family lived in a small vil- lage in a farming community in England. The year was 1840. The old man had been bedfast for many months. The family had gathered, knowing his end was very near. In mid-afternoon the old man dozed off and the several relatives who watched at his bedside went into the living room to get some much-needed rest, leaving Grand- father alone in his room. My own grandfather, Henry Berryman, then a boy of 11, was among the relatives at this death watch, After about 15 minutes he reentered the old man’s room for something, only to dash back out - again shouting, “Grandpa is gone!” No trace of the old man ever was found. Neighbors, the family, the police searched in vain. The old man could not possibly have got out of bed, much less walk- ed through the living room full of people without being seen. There was no other way for him to get out of the house. All windows were still closed and locked from the inside. What happened to this devout, God-fearing man? It is still the firm belief of the

HOTEL FIRE IN OMAHA By Cecile Browning Y HUSBAND and I lived at the Henshaw Hotel in Omaha in 1939. We enjoyed its wonderful cafeteria meals and had come to love the maid who always came on time to clean our apartment each day. My husband was a busy business man with no time for a home or yard to work over and I was busy with him and had no time for house- work. So we chose to live downtown and it was a very happy arrange- ment. We lived on the third floor. A little old lady living at the end of the hall did most of my sewing for me. The two young girls who lived across the hall, and who worked in downtown business offices, were company for me. We could not have found a place to suit us better. Nevertheless, when we had lived there two years suddenly one morn- ing I awoke with an urge to move out. Find another place! Pack all our things! I didn’t want to. I liked living at the Henshaw. But the urge wouldn’t let me go. When I sat down the urge was so strong I had to get up and walk the floor. When 61 I tried to sleep at night I had to get up feeling I wanted to go to the closet to start packing. Each day that passed seemed to push me harder. Finally the urge was be- yond my control. I packed all our clothes and belongings into boxes and suitcases, hurriedly, as though there wasn’t one minute to spare. My husband came in to find boxes and suitcases blocking his passage. Then he realized for the | first time that I was really serious. He said, “All right, if you want to move, we will. But what kind of a place can we find on such short notice?” “T don’t care,” I told him. “I just want to move.” It wasn’t much of a place; no- thing to what we had left. It had a long flight of stairs to be climbed, a hot plate in the kitchen for a stove, an iron bed in the bedroom. But as I sat in the old-fashioned chair in the kitchen I felt relieved. I had fulfilled a great need. My first hours of relaxation in many days had come. My poor husband sat in positive shock at my apparent contentment with the dismal ap- pearance of our present home. “Why? Why?” he asked. I didn’t know. I wished I did understand. What terrible thing in- side of me had urged me on to this? I looked at the flowered wallpaper on the wall. What good could come of the whole miserable thing? Now
Page 66
62 -that the urge had left me I re- gretted my mistake. However, I slept peacefully through that night, relaxed as though having won a long, hard race. I awoke to the sound of news- boys shouting. My husband ran out for a newspaper while I got breakfast on that horrible hot plate. Then my~-husband returned to show me the headlines on the paper: HENSHAW HOTEL BURNED — last night! A tragic fire. Lives lost! We wondered about our friends there. Reading on we learned the elevator had stalled on the third floor. The little old lady who had sewed for me was found in the hall overcome with smoke. She was pulled from the smoking wreckage, rushed to a hospital in critical con- dition. There was a picture of the two girls across the hall being car- ried down the fireman’s ladder in their night clothes. It was a ter- rible fire that is remembered in Omaha’s history. But what was the strange power that forced me, despite my own de- sire to stay, to move out of the Henshaw Hotel to safety the day before it became a blazing inferno? — Linwood, Kans. FATE BANK HOLIDAY By Lynn Dallin ye eiNG MY childhood my - mother seemed very upset and worried at breakfast one morn- ing. That evening when I came home from school her mood had not changed. I questioned her and fin- ally she told me what was bother- ing her, “During the night I heard the words ‘Go get your money’ several times, and I’m worried about what we have in the bank. Your father thinks I’m foolish but I can’t get it out of my mind. The advice was so urgent and so clear.” “What are you going to do about it?” I asked. “Well, your dad has agreed to humor me and withdraw the money in the morning. I may be mistaken, but that’s what I feel we must do,” she replied firmly. By the next morning Mother hadn’t changed her mind, so my parents went to the bank and with- drew their savings. On the following day all funds in banks were frozen during the March, 1933, “Bank Holiday”. — Long Beach, Calif.

the man with the MIRACULOUS HANDS The gifted masseur studied under Western doctors who healed —then met an amazing Tibetan doctor who achieved miracles. Reprinted from THE MAN WITH THE MIRACU- LOUS HANDS, by Joseph Kessel, by permission of the publisher, Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, Inc., Copyright © 196! by Joseph Kessel. peels KERSTEN was a gifted manual therapist of Finnish descent whose amazingly skilled hands cured plutocrats and princes. During World War I, Kersten was virtually a captive of Reichsfuehrer Heinrich Himmler, the No. 2 Nazt leader, who sent millions of Jews and other Europeans to their deaths in concentration camps. Kersten cured Himmler’s crippling stomach pains — just as he had previously cured the Prince Consort, husband of Queen Wilhelmina of the Nether- lands. After World War II, Allied In- telligence investigated Kersten and exonerated him for collaboration with the Nazis. They ascertained that he had saved thousands from the gas chambers. For his intervention with Him- miler in saving Dutch property, lives and treasure at great personal risk By potaph Kessel and cost, the Dutch in 1950 made Kersten a Grand Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau. He re- ceived the insignia from Prince Bernhard personally, After verify- - ing his role in saving thousands of Scandinavians and Jews from death, the Swedes granted him citizenship in 1953. The World Jewish Con- gress credits him with the rescue from certain death of 60,000 Jews. Himmler himself complained, “With every one of his massages, Dr. Ker- sten deprives me of a life.” The following excerpt from the book by Joseph Kessel tells only how Kersten learned his miraculous healing skills from a Dr. Ko, @ Chinese who had studied them in Tibet. FATE publishes this amazing story because it seems to open up a whole new area of medical heal- ing almost entirely unknown in our Western culture. Unfortunately, 62

64 Felix Kersten died in 1960. It would be a tragedy if his knowl- edge passed away with him. The story begins in 1919 as Ker- sten is convalescing in the military hospital at Helsinki after a paralyz- ing rheumatic attack during his army services... b 9, Wate HE WAS convyalescing, Kersten thought about the future. He could stay in the Finn- ish Army; he belonged to the best regiment of the guard. But nothing about military life appealed to him. His agricultural training? He no longer had any land on which to apply it, and he had no desire to work for someone else. After a great deal of thought, Kersten decided to become a sur- geon. He confided his plan to the head doctor at the hospital, Major Ekman. The latter had taken a liking to the young officer with the nice manners and even temper who was so mature for his age. “Believe me, my boy,” he said, “T am a surgeon myself and I can assure you that the training is very long and difficult, especially for a young man like yourself who is without resources and must earn his living right away.” The old doctor took Kersten’s wrist and went on, “If I were you, I would try to devote myself to the study of massage.” “Massage! But why?” he asked. FATE Major Ekman turned the wrist over, indicating the strong, plump palm and the broad, short fingers. “This hand,” said the major, “is ideally suited to massage, not to surgery.” “Massage .. .” repeated Kersten, half to himself. He was remember- ing how, when he was a child, the peasants and factory workers in the neighborhood used to come to his mother to be cured by her agile fingers of sprains, wrenched mus- cles, and even minor fractures. In fact, even his mother’s mother had had the same skill. He told the head doctor about it. “You see! It runs in the family,” exclaimed Major Ekman. “Follow me to the clinic; you will have your first lesson right now.” From this day the masseurs who were associated with the hospital began to instruct Kersten. And be- fore a month had passed, the sol- diers preferred the second-lieutenant student to the professionals. As for Kersten, he discovered to his as- tonishment and joy that his hands possessed the power to restore to the suffering bodies of men their flexibility, repose, and health. In the northern countries, es- pecially Finland, massage is a very old science, a much respected art. One of the greatest specialists then at Helsinki, a Dr. Killander, came to the military hospital to treat difficult cases. There he met Kers-
Page 69
THE MAN WITH THE MIRACULOUS HANDS ten and, recognizing his gift, took him as a pupil. The next two years were full of material hardships for the young man. He did not miss a single class or a single exercise, and at the same time to make ends meet he worked as a longshoreman, a waiter, and a dishwasher. But he had a strong constitution and a ferocious appe- tite which could put up with any- thing. Where another would have wasted away, he flourished. In 1921 he received his degree in scientific massage. His teacher told him, “You must go to Ger- many to continue your studies.” Kersten agreed. Shortly after- wards he arrived in Berlin, com- pletely penniless. oe foe 3 bee PROBLEM of a lodging was the easiest to solve. Kers- ten’s parents had an old friend in the German capital, the widow of a Professor Lube, who lived with her daughter, Elizabeth. The Lube family was not rich, but they were well-educated, cultured people. They were only too happy to pro- vide refuge for the poor student. As for the other essentials—food, clothing, registration fees—Kers- ten got along as he had done at Helsinki, by doing whatever odd jobs he could find. He washed dishes, worked as a movie extra, and sometimes, at the recommenda- tion of the Finnish Embassy, he 65 acted as interpreter for Finnish tradesmen and industrialists who were passing through Berlin on business and did not speak German. There were good weeks and there were very bad ones. Kersten was not always able to satisfy his ap- petite, which was enormous. His clothing left much to be desired. The soles of his shoes often gaped. But he bore his poverty with pat- ience. He was young, strong, proof against any test, and of a balanced and optimistic disposition. Professor Bier, the internation- ally known surgeon, was teaching in Berlin at that time. This distin- guished master, who had received all the official honors, nonetheless took a passionate interest in certain medical techniques which the facul- ty looked upon as unorthodox: chiropractic, homeopathy, acupunc- ture, and above all, massage. When Professor Bier heard that one of his students was trained in Finnish massage, he singled him out, became friendly with him, and told him one day, “Come to dinner tonight. I want you to meet some- one who may interest you.” As Kersten made his way into the huge, brilliantly lighted rooms, he noticed sitting near his teacher a little old Chinese gentleman whose face, which was completely covered with tiny wrinkles, never stopped smiling above a scraggly gray beard.
Page 70
66 “This is Dr. Ko,” Professor Bier told Kersten. The great surgeon had pronounc- ed this name in a tone which sur- prised Kersten because of the deep respect it held. Dr. Ko did nothing, said nothing, at least at the begin- ning, to justify such a tone. Prof- essor Bier carried the conversation almost singlehanded. The fragile old Chinese confined himself to shaking his head in short, rapid, polite nods and smiling intermin- ably. From time to time the little black eyes that missed nothing would stop twinkling within the tiny slits of his half-shut lids, and survey Kersten with a remarkable intensity. Then wrinkles, smiles, and twinkling eyes would resume their lively and amiable little game. Then all at once, in the most simple and unaffected way, Dr. Ko told the young man his story. He was born in China, but_he | had grown up inside the walls of a monastery in northeastern Tibet. There he had been initiated from childhood not only in the teachings of philosophy, but also in the Chin- ese and Tibetan arts of healing as they had been handed down from generation to generation by the lama-doctors. And above all, the ancient and subtle art of massage. After he had devoted 20 years to these studies, the head of the mon- astery sent for him and said: “We have nothing more to teach .FATE you in this part of the world. You will be given sufficient money to live in the Occident, so that you may study with the experts there.” The lama-doctor arrived in Eng- land, enrolled in one of the univer- sities, and spent the time that was required to earn the degree of doc- tor. Then he set up practice in London. “T treated my patients by using massage, as it is taught up there, in our Tibetan monasteries,” said Dr. Ko. “It was not from pride that I did this. A lama, in his train- ing, lays aside all vanities. It was because I thought that in Western science I was no better than a novice, surpassed by countless oth- er excellent doctors. While on the other hand, I alone in that coun- try was skilled in the methods of curing which have been practiced in China since the dawn of time.” “And Dr. Ko has done wonders,” said Professor Bier. “His colleagues, of course, call him all sorts of ~ names. I wrote him, and he has done us the honor of coming to work here in Berlin, under my ab- solute protection.” t These words made a profound impression on Kersten. One of the foremost authorities in the world, a man with the best scientific train- ing, had absolute confidence in this grotesque little creature, so wrin- kled and yellow, from the rooftop of the world!
Page 71
THE MAN WITH THE MIRACULOUS HANDS “T have told Dr. Ko about your studies in Finland,” continued the professor, “and he asked me if he could meet you.” Dr. Ko rose, bowed, smiled, and announced, “We must leave our host. We have already imposed on his patience.” Professor Bier’s home was in the neighborhood of the Tiergarten. Late strollers in the park that night might have seen, wandering among the dark groves and statues of royalty, two contrasting figures: one tall, broad, and young, the oth- er tiny, spare, and old. They were Dr. Ko and Felix Kersten. The lama-doctor questioned the student exhaustively. He wanted to know everything about him: his back- ground, his family, his tempera- ment, his education, and above all, what he had learned from his teachers at Helsinki. “Very good, very good,” said Dr. Ko at last. “I live not far from here. Let us continue our conversa- tion at my place.” As soon as they were in his apartment, Dr. Ko took off his clothes, stretched out on the sofa, and asked Kersten, “Would you please demonstrate your Finnish technique for me?” Never had the young man con- centrated so hard as he did on kneading this tiny yellow body, so fragile and parched. When at last he straightened up from his ; 67 work, he was very pleased with himself. Dr. Ko dressed himself, regard- ed Kersten with his twinkling half- shut eyes, and smiled. “My young friend,” said he, “you know nothing, absolutely nothing.” He smiled again and went on, “But you are the one I have been waiting for, for 30 years. According to my horoscope, fixed in Tibet when I was still a novice, I was to meet this very year a young man who would know nothing, and to whom I would teach everything. I would like to take you for my pupil.” That was 1922. eek HAT FeLix KERSTEN had learned at Helsinki and what Dr. Ko was revealing to him must be described by the term “mas- sage,” since the two schools had the common aim of giving the hands the power to relieve and cure suffering. But as he absorbed the lessons of his new teacher, Kersten came to realize that there was oth- erwise very little in common be- tween the Finnish school (which he knew, moreover, to be unrivaled in Europe) and the tradition of the Far East whose basic principles and methods the old lama-doctor was passing on to him. The Finnish method now began to seem like a primitive and almost blind groping in the dark, which
Page 72
_ 68 could only hope to effect the most superficial, random, and tempor- ary cures. The other method of manual therapy, the one with such ancient and distinguished origins, had at once the precision and ver- satility of wisdom and intuition. It went right to the core, to the mar- row of the subject to be treated. According to the Chinese and Ti- betan science, as it was taught by Dr. Ko, the masseur’s first duty was to find out, without any out- side help and without paying any attention to the patient’s com- plaints the exact nature of the pain, and to ascertain its source. How, indeed, could one hope to cure an illness without knowing its origin? To aid him in his crucial diag- nosis, the practitioner had at his disposal the four pulses and nerve centers and networks of the human body which had been enumerated and recorded in Chinese medicine for centuries. But his only instru- ment of auscultation was the flesh on the tips of his fingers. It was this flesh, then, that had to be trained, educated, refined, sensitized to the point where it could perceive the malady lurking under the skin, the fat, and the flesh, and determine which nerve group was affected. Only then was it of any use to know the outward gestures, that is the palm and fin- ger movements which could influ- FATE ence the nerves in question and, thanks to the accuracy of the diag- nosis, relieve or eliminate the pain. Nevertheless, the mastering of these movements was not the most difficult part. Obviously, to be completely fa- miliar with the topography of the nervous system, to know just the degree of pressure, just the knead- ing action, just the delicate twists and turns necessary to correct a given weakness, and to be able to execute all these with the greatest efficacy, required a long and pains- taking apprenticeship. Few pupils had the ability to succeed. But the essential secret of the art was the ability to locate with the tips of the fingers the essence of the mal- ady, to measure its severity, and to know from what vital center it sprang. The most refined, extensive knowledge of the epidermis was not enough. In order to render the tiny tactile antennae capable of recognizing all the nerves of the hu- man organism and of responding, as it were, to their plea, the prac- titioner had virtually to leave his own body and enter that of his pa- tient. This could only be attained through the age-old methods of the great religious disciplines of the Far East which, by means of spir- itual concentration, special respi- ratory exercises, and inner states from Yoga, bring the mind and
Page 73
THE MAN WITH THE MIRACULOUS HANDS 69 senses to a degree of acuteness and intuition otherwise unattain- able. What seemed like second nature to Dr. Ko, who had been dedicated from infancy to the training and meditations of the lamas, was ter- ribly difficult for a Westerner, particularly one of Kersten’s age. But he had the ability to work at it, tremendous will power and also, of course, the aptitude. For three’ years he spent every minute with Dr. Ko when he was not attending courses or working the odd jobs by which he earned his living. Only then did Dr. Ko say that he was satisfied with him. Having assisted the old lama in his work, Kersten had seen him perform some remarkable cures, some of which seemed almost mi- raculous. Of course they were lim- ited to a very definite area; Dr. Ko did not claim that his thera- peutic massage could cure every- thing. But its range was so great (for the nerves play a role in the total organism whose extent and importance Kersten would never have known without studying Chi- nese medicine) that it was beyond the dreams of the most ambitious practitioner, In spite of the great poverty in which he continued to live, these three years w@nt very quickly for Kersten. Not only did he follow Dr. Ko’s teachings with a joy and admiration which grew greater ev- ery day, but he came to feel for his teacher a fondness and respect which also deepened as time went by. There was nothing of the as- cetic about Dr. Ko. To be sure, he forbade the use of alcohol and tobacco, which dulled the sense of touch. But Kersten had never formed the taste for these stimu- lants. On the other hand, the lama- doctor approved of eating well. He did his own cooking and often in- vited Kersten to share his excel- lent chicken broth with rice. As for physical relations with women, he considered them highly salutary for the proper balance of the nervous system. Gentleness, courtesy, unselfish- ness, equanimity, and courage all contributed to Dr. Ko’s calm and happy acceptance of life which never failed him. And Kersten, so big and robust, felt as if he were under the wing of the little old Chinese who never stopped smiling. Thus the news he received one autumn morning in 1925 was quite a shock to him. Kersten had just arrived at his teacher’s house. The latter told him very calmly, “I’m leaving tomorrow to return to my monastery. I must begin to pre- pare myself for death. I have less than eight years to live.” Kersten stammered, “But that’s impossible! You can’t do it...
Page 74
7° But how do you know?” “From the most trustworthy source: the date was established long ago in my horoscope.” Dr. Ko’s voice and smile had their habitual gentleness, but in his eyes Kersten saw an irrevocable decision. It was only then, from the acute- ness of his misery, from the inter- nal uprooting he experienced, and the sense of isolation and exile that possessed him, that Kersten realized to what extent he was truly the disciple of this little yel- lowish, wrinkled man with his FATE scrawny little gray goatee. “My mission is accomplished,” continued Dr. Ko. “I have trans- mitted to you that which it was permitted to me to transmit. You are now ready to continue my work here. You will take over my patients.” There was nothing for Kersten to do but help his old teacher pack his bags. The following day Dr. Ko took the train for Le Havre, where he was to sail to Singapore, and from there return to Tibet. And Kersten never heard of him again. © SLAYINGS WITH SIMILARITIES HREE RECENT slayings in Texas reportedly feature an amazing number of similar- ities. The three cases involve the bludgeon murders of Mrs. C. B. Hagans and Mrs. M. D. Gibson in Nacogdoches; the shotgun murders of Misses Lil- lie and Hattie Bauer near Grove- ton; and the gun-and-fire mur- der of Fred A. Tones, a real estate man, in Houston. Some of the striking coinci- dences in the Nacogdoches and Groveton murders were that the victims in both cases were eld- erly sisters; they were slain in their own homes (Mrs. Gibson lived in Houston but spent much time at her sister’s home); they were killed in the early morning; in both cases, the victims were undis- covered for several days; and in both cases, a nephew of the victims quickly became the chief suspect. The Nacogdoches double murder and the slaying of Fred R. Tones in Houston are said to display equally incredible sim- ilarities. In both cases, a na- tion-wide police pickup order was sent out for a fugitive man and woman; the suspects in both eases had police records; they were reported or were be- lieved to have fled in cars own- ed by the victims; the pickup orders included two license tag numbers as it was not known which the fugitives were using; and in both cases the suspects delayed their flight long enough to include the theft of a televi- sion set.

72 which never had been in better condition, but on a wind-swept night, as the vessel neared Cape Horn, Captain Brown left the bridge, and was walking along the rolling deck to his cabin when he stopped and stared. From among the shrouds a fig- ure was materializing. “What the hell are you doing there?” Brown thundered. The being was now clearly visible to him—a tall, slim- ly-built woman, good-looking, with hair cascading to her shoulders. As the master of the ship stared at her she spoke clearly and sin- cerely. “Go back to the port from which you came,” she said. “Do not continue this voyage, otherwise you will lose your ship and all the lives aboard. Go back and tell them in your port that I ordained it so.” Then, smiling at the captain, the woman slowly faded and was gone. Simultaneously a dense fog crept in from the landward side and enshrouded the cargo and ship. Captain Brown returned to the bridge, stood there undecided for a moment, then ordered his first mate to turn about. ‘We are re- turning home,” Captain Brown said. “You must have gone out of your mind,” the mate declared. “We are more than halfway to Peru. I am not turning the vessel back.” Captain Brown promptly or- FATE dered the mate clapped in irons and turned the ship around himself. He did not mention to anyone aboard the phantom woman who had ap- peared to him. Nevertheless, there were rumors aboard the ship that- the master had received orders from a phantom to return to the port from which they had sailed, Cardiff, in Wales. When the ship arrived in Car- diff, Captain Brown explained to the owners what he had seen aboard and what the phantom had told him. “I heeded the warning be- cause I did not want to lose my ship,” he said. “Vou have lost your ship,” the owners shouted. ‘Your master’s certificate is taken away. You ney- er will sail again.” Ridiculed by everyone in Car- diff, declared unfit to command a ship, and kicked out of the British merchant marine, Captain Brown hung about the town trying to find a job as an ordinary seaman, but was thrown out of every ship- ping office he visited. One week later the owners of the Usk found another master to sail her to Peru, but some of Cap- tain Brown’s superstitious crew had believed him when he said he re- ceived a warning. They too refused to sail and were kicked out of the company’s service. Four months passed after the Usk sailed. No word was heard

WARNING OF THE SEA PHANTOM 73 from her. Ships were ordered to keep a look-out for her. Then a dispatch came from Coquimbo, Peru, to the owners of the Usk. It informed them that the Usk had been destroyed by fire at sea and had sunk with all hands. A nearby ship had been unable to help be- cause of high seas and had seen the Usk go down. In Cardiff the sailors who had refused to sail in the Usk shook their heads. The ship had been warned through Captain Brown not to sail to Peru. She had ignored the warning and had gone down with all hands. No British seaman ever believed the destruction of the Usk was pure coincidence. After the ship was lost Captain Brown again was questioned about the apparition. He declared that he had not recognized the apparition as anyone known to him. He did say, at an inquiry held in Cardiff, “Many years ago my wife told me that if I ever faced danger she would come to warn me. She told me this as she lay dying of tuberculosis. She was 29 years old at the time. The appari- tion did not look like my wife at all. It was taller and thinner. My wife was rather short and stout.” The matter also was investigated at the time it occurred by Sir Wil- liam F. Barrett, then President of the British Society For Psychical Research. Sir William stated, in the Proceedings of the S.P.R., in 1915, “I have no doubt about the authenticity of the vision which came to warn this (ship’s) master. It is my belief that for some rea- son (Captain) Brown’s deceased wife was unable to warn him her- self and-had it done for her. These are matters at the present time be- yond human understanding.’ Captain Brown died in 1916, only three years after he returned the Usk to her home port. But he did not take a crew or a ship with him in death as he would have done in 1913 had he continued the voyage to Peru. 4 MIRAGE OR MIRACLE?

what can YOU gain from studying PSYCHIC PHENOMENA? A successful executive reveals the effect on him of a remarkable communication from his dead wife. By Melvin HE CONTINUING search for truth through psychic research will inevitably have a permanent effect on our practical civilization. Psychic research will change re- ligious creeds. It will bring an understanding of prayer that will alter the world’s attitude toward religion. Psychic research also can be expected to bring spiritual healing into wide and successful use. And most important of all, these re- searchers will produce proof of the survival of human personality, proof that will alter the intellectual course of our world. 74 of Sutley All ages and all civilizations have recorded psychic experiences. Dur- ing the last 100 years extensive re- search has been performed by care- ful scientific groups and the re- searchers have all agreed on the essential facts. Unfortunately, there is a continu- ing reluctance on the part of many people to believe. Each newcomer refuses to accept the reports and evidence produced, but must re- ceive the proof out of his own ex- periences. There are a few excep- tions, of course, to these skeptics. I heard one of the world’s great- est physicists say that while he had
Page 79
not had a single personal experience in connection with mediums he, as a scientist, had to believe the care- ful reporting of such conservative scientists as Sir Oliver Lodge, Wil- liam Crooks, Gourmey, Richet and others. He said that if he denied the truth of these men’s writings, he, in honesty, should deny the ex- plosions of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima because he did not see the explosion and all he knew about it was what he had read in the news- papers. For ministers of the church, the Bible should furnish all the proof they need. Unfortunately, most ministers and lay students of the Bible interpret it according to what they know and have been taught. Walter Krine wrote, “the dis- covery and establishment of truth are the highest cultures of which the human mind is capable. Truth cannot come when the door is lock- ed, by intellectual pride, precon- ceived opinion or prejudice.” There are two groups who should be our leaders in the search for God’s truth. Our leaders in religion, and our leaders in science. Both of these groups are guilty of intellec- tual pride, preconceived opinion and prejudice. And, if guilt can be a matter of degree, then the preach- ers have been more guilty than the scientists. Although, there have been exceptions — notable ones. I have mentioned Lodge, Crooks, Gourmey, Richet, as examples of men who were willing to stand up to ridicule and intense opposition. Melvin L. Sutley has spent much time in the study of psychic phe- nomena. His article originally was given as a talk at the 1961 An- nual Spring Conference of the Spiritual Frontiers Fellowship at the Hyde Park Methodist Church in Chicago, Ill. A graduate of the University of Colorado, with B.A. and L.L.B. degrees, he has been administrator of several large hospitals in Pennsylvania. He is now President of the American College of Hospital Administrators ABOUT THE AUTHOR in Philadelphia.

76 The number of such ministers is pathetically small but I would like to quote from one of the sermons of Phillips Brooks: “Certainly there is nothing clearer or more striking in the Bible than the calm, familiar way with which, from end to end, it assumes the present experience of the world of spiritual beings al- ways close to and acting upon this world of blood and flesh. “Tt does not belong to any one part of the Bible —it runs through the whole vast range. From cre- ation to judgment the spiritual beings are forever present. They act as truly in the drama as the men and women who with their un- mistakable humanity walk the sa- cred stage in the successive scenes. There is nothing of hesitation about the Bible’s treatment of the spirit- ual world. There is no reserve, no vagueness which would leave us tranced for the whole system to be explained away in dreams and meta- phors. “The spiritual world with all its multitudinous existence is just as real as the crowded cities and the fragrant fields and the loud battle- grounds of the visible, palpable Judea, in which the writers of the sacred books were living.” It would not be worthwhile to speculate as to why ministers who are, or should be, our best Bible students have been unable or un- willing to accept the plain wording FATE of the Bible with reference to sur- vival, to communication with the spiritual world, and to spiritual healing, I know that very practical results have come from the study of what we call psychic phenomena with the new interpretations of religious creeds and possibly a change in many of these creeds. Many of us repeat every Sunday, “T believe in the resurrection of the body.” I don’t know how many generations have passed since this” sentence was first intoned with blind obedience and without thought. My feeling is that one of the most practical results of psychic studies will be the feeling of freedom to investigate our creeds and their in- terpretations. We must develop in- tellectual curiosity with reference to God’s laws and, at the same time, recognize the need for humility. Only if we have humility will we continue our search for truth, and refrain from urging succeeding gen- erations to accept our ideas as the final word in truths. One of the most heartening things I have read recently is a statement by Dr. Edmond Galberg, a past president of the National Council of Churches, in a conservative Bap- tist publication. Dr. Galberg stated that children in the atomic age face changes of such cosmic significance that they may call for a new theo- logical understanding of the diety.

CAN YOU GAIN FROM STUDYING PSYCHIC PHENOMENA? 77 He concluded, “It is not enough for pastors to say that something is true just because it’s in the Bible or has been taught by the church.” T am sure that no one will deny that if prayer is effective it is prac- tical. But we must understand what prayer is and what makes it work. Is prayer a psychological gadget or a self-administered emo- tional cathartic? There are people who will be shocked at the idea of analyzing prayer but this is non- sense. Prayer will continue to be the greatest force in the world even if we ask how, why, and why not. Spiritual healing also is profound- ly practical, especially for those who believe in it. An intensive study should be made as to how it works and how its effectiveness can be increased. Medical doctors should participate in this study. Like pray- er, spiritual healing will not stop simply because we try to analyze it, try to find ways of increasing the number of healings. But by far the most practical as- pect of our psychic study is the proof of the survival of personality and the effect on people when they are confronted with this proof. There are millions of persons today who doubt survival. Most of them are honest thinkers. They live hon- est, upright lives. They would like to believe if they could. There are others who, in a sort of abstract way, do believe in im- mortality but their lives are not affected by their belief. I think we need to tell those people who honestly don’t know, who don’t believe, in survival after death, that we can prove it. Their lives are going to be effected, there is no question about it, and it can’t be done by just sermons. I can give definite proof of survival to any man who will be intellectually honest. Tl give you a little of my own experience. My wife had been dead about seven or eight months —TI might state that she and I had gone to some seances, we’d gone to ma- terializations, we’d read some books, but it all didn’t make too much im- pression on us. I was sitting read- ing one evening and it occurred to me that it would be a good idea to get in touch with her. I. knew no mediums, but I remembered that a nurse at the hospital where my wife had worked — she was a doctor — had called us in the past when visit- ing mediums came to town. I didn’t remember the nurse’s name but I thought I remembered she worked in the emergency ward so I called the hospital. I said, “What is the name of the woman who works in the emergency ward?” They said, “It’s Miss Hoffman,” and gave me her telephone number. When I called her and said, “Miss Hoffman, this is Mr. Sutley,” she replied, “Mr. Sutley, I’ve been ex-
Page 82
78 pecting your telephone call. The Doctor’s been coming through to us and been trying for two weeks now to impress you to cali me.” This wasn’t real proof, of course, but it was one of those little things that make you think. For two years after that I went to seances. I studied a good many books and wondered if I wasn’t being gullible. I analyzed my ex- periences as I think people ought to analyze theirs. Frankly, I think there is fraud, sometimes, where mediums try to bring things through and cannot do it. But, as William James says, it only takes one white crow to prove that not all crows are black. If you have one instance of communication you’ve got proof, It only takes one white crow! I would like to report one per- sonal instance that proved to me that, “not all crows are black.” I attended a seance with a group, only one of whom I had met, and I had merely been introduced to her. An amateur medium, a woman I never had seen before, told me that she had a message for me from a person “on my father’s side of the family.” The medium said she could hear the word “Wils.” She thought that she was getting the word incorrect- ly, but several times she got “Wils.” I thanked her, but said no more. I did not reveal that my father had a brother named Wils. Since Wils FATE had been dead about 35 years and I had not thought of him for a long time, I was sure that the woman was not reading my conscious mind. Then the medium announced “Vour wife Margaret is here and says she is with her two sisters who died in infancy. Their names are Laura and Perley.” I remembered that my wife had told me she had a sister who had died in infancy, before my wife was born. If my wife knew the name, and if she told it to me, I did not remember it. I was quite sure there had not been a third sister as stated by the medium. I wrote to my mother-in-law’s sister, last surviving member of the family, and asked if my wife had sisters or brothers who had died in infancy. She replied that there was one sister, that she died after liv- ing three months, and that her name was Perley. I consider this Class A evidence. Some sceptics will say that the medium could project her thoughts to a stranger in Colorado, the only living person who knew about Per- ley, and read that person’s subcon- scious mind. I disagree, but I have more evidence to present. Some months later I met the wo- man who had been my wife’s sec- retary and she recalled my mother- in-law’s plan to inscribe the names of the family on the urn containing my father-in-law’s ashes.
Page 83
CAN YOU GAIN FROM STUDYING PSYCHIC PHENOMENA? 79 I obtained possession of the urn from the Colorado undertaker who held it in trust. Engraved on the urn were the names ef my wife’s father, with dates of birth and death, and the name of my wife’s mother with her birthdate. Then there was the following in- scription which gave the names of the children, “Perley Lucretia, 1891, Survived three months. Margaret Ann, 1893. Laura, 1897, died at birth.” Thus the medium’s message was absolutely correct. She even had named a sister whose life and death had been competely forgotten. If the medium read these facts in a living mind, it could only have been the mind of the engraver who in- scribed the names in 1934. And there is no evidence that the en- graver is still alive. My sitting was in 1958, 61 years after the death of the last infant. What has been the effect on me of this evidence? I always went to church. [ also had Sunday school classes for boys’ but perhaps I de- partmentalized — separated my re- ligion from the rest of my life and from my thinking. I believe that Frank Laubach had the right idea when he said he attempted to prac- tice the continual presence of God. I believe that a person who rec- ognizes there is such a thing as com- munication with the spirit world also recognizes that the world is much larger than we are accustomed to think of it’s being. Such persons ought to start practicing the pres- ence of God. Then religion becomes an every day affair. And the people we meet are our brothers. Finding proof of survival has done a great deal for me. This doesn’t mean that I am living a highly spiritual life, but for me re- ligion is an every day affair, not just something I happen to think about on Sunday in church. Phillip Brooks also said, in one of his greatest sermons, a sermon based upon a revelation, “I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God. The life we are now living is more aware than we know of the life that is to come. “Death which separates the two is real but has often been pictured like a great thick wall. It is rather like a soft yielding curtain, through which we cannot see, but which is always waving and trembling with the impulses that come out of the light which lies on the other side. “Were never wholly unaware that the curtain is not the end of everything. Sounds come to us, muffled and dull, but still indubit- ably real, through its thick folds. Every time that a new soul passes through that veil, from mortality to immortality, it seems as if we had heard its light footfalls for a mo- ment, after the picture curtain is concealed from our sight.
Page 84
80 “Behind this curtain of death, St. John, in his great vision, passed also and he wrote, ‘And I saw the dead, small and great stand before God.’ ” I haven’t got too much time to spend on the esoteric or the meta- physical. Lots of people, during communication with the world of spirits, spend all their time discuss- ing higher planes and things of that kind. That’s all right. But I’m rather basic and I agree with Phil- lips Brooks when he says, “I think that it grows clearer and clearer to FATE us all that we need all the great truths, the vast and broad assur- ances within which are included all the special details of life. Let us have that and we are more and more content to leave the specific details unknown. With regard to eternity, for instance, I am sure that we can most easily lay, most gladly forego the detailed knowledge of the cir- cumstances of occupations of the other life, if only we can fully know two things, that the dead are and they are with God.” CFO THE PHANTOM IN THE ROAD A WEIRD story by three young men of being saved from certain death by what appeared to be a ghost was reported in the Glasgow Sunday Mail for April 16, 1961. They related that while driving home to Ham- ilton, Scotland, from a dance in a Lanarkshire village, they saw “a tall, ghostly figure” appear in the middle of the lonely country road. Its arms were outstretched as if it were signalling the car to stop. Edward McDonald, 20, the driver of the car, explained that he and the others, Tom Edgar, 22, and Drew Wallace, 20, had tried a shortcut home and had lost their way. As there were no trees on either side and the road was too nar- row to permit the car to turn, they were forced to go on. McDonald said he had just slowed down when suddenly he saw a huge figure in front of the car headlights. He noted that the headlights seemed to shine through the figure as though it were transparent. Tom Edgar and Drew Wallace stated they also saw the shape. Admitting he was terrified, McDonald added that he at- tempted to drive through the figure, but it glided alongside the car. Then the car engine mysteriously stalled and Mc- Donald braked to a stop. The figure “seemed to melt away.” The three young men said that when they peered out of the car windows they saw that if they had traveled another two yards they would have dropped down a 150-foot ravine into the Clyde River.

KKKKK KK 0.8. 9.0.0,9.0.9.0.0.9.0.4 Guardian Angel in the Land of the Czars x FOO YY YY Palladia visited her friend often and showed an active interest in his life—although her own life had ended. * ee rcsbaled by Susy ‘Srark * Unique in the annals of psychic research is this account of an ap- parition which seemed to have con- tinuing knowledge of the affairs of her friend on earth. Frederick W. H. Myers printed this entire letter along with additional testimony in the original French in his epic study, Human Personality. The por- tion of the letter published here is from a translation prepared by Susy Smith, editor of the recently published edition of Human Per- sonality. Monsieur, My guardian angel, Palladia, was the daughter of a wealthy Russian landlord. Her father died a few months before she was born, and her mother soon sent her away to a convent. In 1872, Palladia was being sent from the convent to the Crimea for health reasons. I was called upon by Palladia’s brother in an effort to get her back into society against her own desire. I did my best to help the brother, and that is when T met Palladia for the first time. She was 14, tall, thin and already suffering from tuberculosis. At the brother’s request I accompanied Palladia and her sister to Crimea where they were to spend the winter, and remained two weeks with them. In 1873, by chance I met Pal- ladia and her sister at Odessa, where
Page 86
82 they had come to see some doctors, although Palladia looked in better health. On August 27, while I was reading to the ladies, Palladia died suddenly of an aneurysm; she was 15. At a seance two years after Pal- ladia’s death I heard raps, and thought it was a joke. But at home, I wanted to see if the same raps would be repeated and settled my- self in the same position I had as- sumed at the seance. — Through the alphabet, I com- municated with Palladia. She said, “Replace the angel, it is falling.” I visited her grave, and found a marble statue of an angel had fallen to the side of her grave. I replaced it. A year after Palladia sent this message, she appeared to me for the first time. It was October, 1876, and I was in Kieff, playing the piano in the apartment of a friend. Suddenly I saw Palladia, and my friend came to ask me what had happened. He thought that it must have been the servant, but we were alone in the apartment. Now I see her often. Sometimes three times a week, sometimes twice in the same day, sometimes a month goes by. She always appears unexpectedly, when I don’t think of her. When I do think of her, or try to see her, she never appears. She always appears in the same FATE manner, with a serene expression. She always appears in the dark dress in which she died under my eyes. I see her when I’m alone and when I have company. The apparition remains one, two, three minutes, and then gradually vanishes into space. Palladia has appeared to my son, and may have visited my wife even before I myself knew that she was to be my bride. This took place in 1885. I was alone with my dog in a room at my parents’ when Palladia appear- ed, five steps away from me, with a joyful smile. She approached me and said, “I went. I saw.” Then she disappeared. My setter yelped and jumped on my bed. I didn’t speak to anyone about this, but the evening of the same day a young woman visiting in my parents’? house told me, “When I woke up this morning I felt someone near my bed and heard a voice say, ‘Don’t be scared of me, I am good and affectionate.’ ” I did not tell this young lady anything of my own experiences until a year later, when I was en- gaged to her. At the time of the apparition, I had no idea of getting engaged to this lady, it was in fact, the first time I had seen her. I wonder whether it was Palladia who also had stopped by the bed of my future wife? Five years later I was with my
Page 87
GUARDIAN ANGEL IN THE LAND OF THE CZARS 83 wife and two-year-old son, staying with friends in the country. One evening about 7:00 P.M. I was sit- ting in a room lighted by a big lamp. The door opened and my son came running to me. Suddenly Palladia appeared before me. I turned toward my son. He was looking at Palladia; he pointed to her and turned to me saying, “The aunt.” I took him on my knees and turned toward Palladia, but she had gone. My son’s face was peaceful and happy. Eugene Mamtchitch —S THE CURSE OF THE ALBATROSS REWMEN of the British freighter Calpean Star ar- rived home in London in June, 1960, after a flight from Mon- tevideo, Uruguay, explaining they had left their ship behind, a stranded derelict. The events that led to the disaster, they said, had made them firm be- lievers in the ancient seafar- ers’ legend that misfortune be- falls those who harm or kill an albatross. They reported that the Cal- pean Star’s last voyage was as a transport with the Norwe- gian Antarctic whaling fleet. Previous to that it had made a voyage to carry a shipment of animals to a zoo in Germany. Among the creatures was an albatross. Someone fed the bird a sau- sage—and it died. After that, according to Henry Kennedy, 49, a member of the crew, the Cal- pean Star was a hoodoo ship. He related that the curse be- gan working when the freight- er sailed on its last voyage in August, 1959. First the ship’s generators failed. Diesel oil got into the water supply and the main engine compressor broke. The freighter drifted help- lessly for several days, the erewmen said—just like the ship in the story about the Ancient Mariner who shot an albatross with his crossbow, after which the ship and all aboard it were cursed. In the Antarctic the Calpean Star suffered damage to a rud- der. She was towed to Monte- video, where she went aground in the harbor. As she lay stranded an explosion wrecked her engine room. Her crew abandoned her. Even that, they said, did not free them. from the curse of the albatross. During a land- ing at Rio de Janeiro, their homeward bound plane dam- aged its undercarriage. C9

valley into the Cowskin (Elk) Riv- er area of Oklahoma. Evidence of the visit by ancient Mayans to central North America is not positive, but the visit is con- sidered a strong possibility by some archeologists. For perhaps a 1000 years the ev- idence of this expedition from Cen- tral America lay hidden in a burial mound in Delaware County, Okla- homa. The burial ground, now known as the Rhoades Mound, was uncovered in 1921 by a Cherokee Indian farmer and curio-hunter, Mack Tussinger. The original excavation -un- earthed eight skeletons lying like the spokes of a wheel, heads point- ing toward the center. A vast treas- ure of ceremonial flints and blades lay with these skeletons. Three in- ches of red dust about the flints showed they had been wrapped in skins when placed in the grave. Many of the objects were unused, indicating that they had not been made for utility but for use as vo- tive offerings. The pieces found in the mass grave are eccentric- shaped and were chipped with great care and precision from flint, chert and obsidian. These pieces are now 85 known to scholars as the Oklahoma eccentrics. Because of their unusual appear- ance, the pieces brought high prices from Indian curio collectors, and the original treasure trove was soon distributed far and wide, among many collectors. The bulk of the original find now has been reassembled by Willard L. Elsing at the Oak Crest Muse- um near Joplin, Mo. Here, schol- ars have an opportunity to exam- ine enough of the objects to verify their authenticity and to find the basic pattern of their designs. Eccentric-shaped relics are con- sidered the products of higher cul- tures and Elsing believes that they are not a product of the native pre- Burial mound gives up relics that may prove ancient Mayans traveled up the Mississippi. historic Indian culture. However, similar objects have been found in the Spiro Mound, LeFlore County, Okla., and in Central America and Mexico. Trena Heeringa of the Oak Crest Museum states that the designs in the Oklahoma eccentrics are iden- tical in outline and symbolism to pieces under the temple floors in Chichen Itza, the largest and most beautiful of the Mayan cities in Central America.
Page 90
86 These similarities suggest to some authorities a Mayan migra- tion to North America. Other archeologists think that the eccentrics may be evidence of far-flung trade among ancient peo- ples. Perhaps both of these sug- gestions are correct, perhaps nei- ther. FATE Archeologists do know that the Mayans were not afraid to travel. In fact, the entire Mayan empire was shifted from the southern part of the Yucatan peninsula to the northern at some time after 629 A.D. However, the reason for that Mayan Odyssey also has been lost to modern archeological history. 3% CRIME AND PUNISHMENT—EQUINE STYLE By Raymond C. Otto ARVIN CHAMBERS, a farm- er living near Tipton, Ind., had a horsenamed Prince, a spirited colt he used for rid- ing. One day Chambers, who always had been on good terms with Prince, decided to ride the horse into town. Prince appear- ed docile enough as Chambers entered his stall, but suddenly he seized the farmer’s arm in his teeth and began kicking him. When Mrs. Chambers saw her husband’s plight, she called for the hired man, who freed the farmer. He was taken to the hospital. Another horse owned by Chambers, a Belgian named Dolly, had witnessed the un- even battle from the next stall. Chambers had raised Dolly from a filly and considered her a kindly and hard-working horse. She, apparently, looked upon the farmer as a good mas- ter—but now she showed just how deep her attachment was. The next day the hired man let Dolly into the barnyard for water. She turned from the trough, walked over to Prince’s stall, raised the latch with her nose and went in. The hired man rushed to the barn to see what was going on. Dolly, in a frenzy, had Prince on the floor and was striking him with her forefeet. When the hired man ealled to her, she raised her head, regarded him for a mo- ment, and walked out. Prince died that night, and the veterinarian said every rib was caved in. But Dolly evi- dently wished to make certain her mission was accomplished. All during that summer, when- ever she was let into the barn- yard, she went to Prince’s stall and lifted the latch with her nose. Once inside, she examined every inch of the stall, snorting. When Chambers finally re- turned from the hospital, Dolly ‘seemed satisfied and ended her visits to Prince’s stall.

PROOF IN HAND By Richard W. Steinke Y BROTHER’S hand was the proof of survival that shat- tered my neat, compact idea about life after death. Before my brother reached out his hand, I had no be- lief in survival, To me, death was oblivion. Now I am not so sure. My brother, William, died De cember 21, 1944, of wounds received while serving with the Canadian Army in Italy. For 12 years after his death I dreamed of my _ broth- er on the average of three times a year. On a November night in 1956 I again had a dream in which I saw my brother. Suddenly I awoke and lay thinking about this dream, the first I had had in many months. IT got to thinking that if survival is a fact, then perhaps my brother was close at hand and was attempt- ing to communicate with me. With this thought in mind, I sat up in bed supporting myself on my left elbow and forearm.

Somehow I managed to retain my presence of mind, and after a few seconds my wrist was released. Then I called out, “OK, Bill, now take hold of my other wrist.” Instantly I felt the same pres- sure on my right wrist. Then I lay back on my pillow feeling a lofty happiness such as I never have known before or since. The following Saturday I de- scribed my experience to my sister, RICHARD W. STEINKE

After listening to my story she asked on what day it had taken place. I replied that it had been on Tuesday night. She then told me the story of a dream she had on Wednesday, the night after my experience. In my sister’s dream she met our brother, Bill. She asked Bill to come home, and he replied, “I was home Ann. Ask Richard. He will tell you that I was home.” The very use of the name “Rich- ard” is part of my proof of Bill’s survival. My sister calls me “Rick,” as do all my associates. Only broth- er Bill always called me Richard.— Winnipeg, Canada. GRANDMA’S MESSAGE By Jill Diamond HEN I WAS a little girl I remember my grandmother telling me that when she passed away she would let me know some day that there is life beyond the one we know. I never did forget, al- though I was quite little then. When Grandma died on February 9, 1946, her things were divided among her children and my mother inherited her little old-fashioned sewing machine. The only thing I wanted of Grandmother’s was a piece of linen she had spun herself and from which she had made her wedding dress. However, when the household goods were divided the piece of linen could not be found. More than two years went by and there did not seem to be any partic- ular “sign” from Grandma. In the fall of 1948 I was hospitalized in Providence Hospital, Everett, Wash., for major surgery. On the seventh night after the operation I was not

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL expected to live. I remember saying goodbye to my husband before they gave me morphine and then came the relief of sleep. The next thing I knew I was walking in a sort of dark void. There was no object around, just a cool mist. Suddenly I saw a door. It had no particular color, but I do remember it was rounded at the top. I knocked at the door, without any sense of fear. The door opened and there stood my grandmother. She looked surprised. I looked be- yond her, and there stood my father who had died on May 11, 1947. He looked very frightened, but did not speak to me. Beside him stood a little woman who I never had seen before and in the background were several other persons who were strangers to me. I remember trying to enter the door but my grandmother stepped in front of me. She said in her kind, gentle voice, “No, you had better go back; your husband and family need you yet.’’ She then shut the door in my face, I remember standing there in the dusk feeling unhappy and very tired, yet thinking grandmother was right; I should go back. Next I remember opening my eyes and seeing a Sister standing by the window in her white robes. She was holding her rosary. I turn- ed my head and saw that my hus- band was crying. I was afraid to speak. I thought I had died. Final- ly I said, “Why are you crying?” He answered, “Because I am so glad you are going to live.” For a little while that night they had thought I was gone. I told my husband of my dream later.

The only color I could remember in the whole thing was that the little lady standing beside my father had a bunch of blue daisies pinned to her dress. Several months later my mother cleaned out the drawers of the sew- ing machine that had belonged to Grandmother. The machine had been stored in the attic since Grandma’s death. Mother put buttons and oth- er “junk” into a box and asked if I would like to look through it. I took the box home and put it away. One day I needed a button and so looked in the box. First of all, I found the linen cloth from Grand- ma’s wedding dress which she had promised I would have one day. Then I found a sealed envelope and on it, a note written in Swedish. I couldn’t read the note but I opened the en- velope and inside it was one artifi- cial blue daisy. I knew I had seen such a flower before somewhere! About a month later one of my uncles stopped in for a cup of cof- fee and I asked him to read the note. Grandmother had written, “This flower is from the shroud of my dear sister who died in Sweden.” It gave the date of her death and her name. She had died before I was born and I never had seen nor heard of her before. Unless, of course, you count the time I saw her on the night I nearly died, when Grandma sent me back. I believe this was Grandmother’s way of letting me know we do live after death. I think she even proved we do.—Langley, Wash.

Some times for one reason or another, I have failed to take her advice and I later have been sorry I did not. One time in 1930 I had gone to my father’s old home to stay a while, to convalesce from a very serious operation. To while away | the dreary, pain-wracked hours I sometimes played Old Sol, with a pack of playing cards and some- times read the cards to amuse my- self and the family.

You should be able to do the above things after you have studied for a few hours the technique presented in the monograph, ‘YOU CAN.’’ Although concentration and will power are much stressed these days, the author of ‘Your Godmind With- in’’ (page 24, April issue of FATE), after practicing hypnosis and meta- physics for years, discovered the secret of “I WORK BUT THE FATHER WITHIN DOES THE WORK.” This simple technique is as old as man, and the above things ean be done without will power or pe oe a as commonly under- stood. Not only can one using this technique do the above things, one also can ap- ply this method to all of one’s prob- lems.

I was expecting our family doctor and I glanced up to greet him. Instead I saw my mother coming across the yard from the gate. She came up to me and folding her arms laid them across my knees as I sat on the porch above her. Looking up into my face with a sweet smile she said, “Well, Honey, I can rest now that you have come back home to stay and the family is together again. I haye been worried because you were all scattered abroad and in such trou- ble, distress and illness. Now that you are back I can rest.” Finally I was able to speak and told her I planned to stay and ney- er go back to my home and the bitter life I’d been living, that I Was very sorry we had given her so much worry and hoped to do bet- ter in the future. Now that she was back with us I wanted her to stay so bad, I began to ery and beg her to stay and never leave us again. This seemed to make her very happy, to know how we felt. She wished me all kinds of suecess and happiness. Then turning to go she laughed and said, “Why, child, I can’t stay. I have to go.” She walked to the gate, opened it and passed through turning to latch the gate. I heard the chain latch as clearly and naturally as always, then she looked at me in a sad way and waved farewell. As she left, my father spoke to me from the doorway, “Who in the world was that? It sounded like your mother’s voice.” I answered, “It was Mother, Dad.

Father told me he had been reading the Bible in the living room and had heard me talking to some- one. The other voice had sounded like Mother’s but he could not see her although he understood her words, and distinctly heard the gate open and close both times. Tears began to flow down his cheeks, and he turned and went slowly back in doors. Later I heard him tell my sister that he had not realized I was so critically ill, that it was evident I was talking with the departed, and seeing things... I certainly believe I was in a normal state of mind, and not asleep or dreaming. And Dad had heard the gate and her voice, even though he could not see her. This was the last time Mother visited me in the daylight. This time had been in sunlight, so clear and so close she had rested her arms on my knees.

We felt the loss of our friend even more because we could not pay our last respects. Per- haps this was an important factor in what happened the night before his burial in Evergreen Cemetery. The night before the funeral I awoke in the middle of the night to see the shadowy outline of a figure standing on my wife’s side of our bed. I lunged across the bed to- ward the intruder only to have the figure dissolve before my eyes. Instantly, my wife was awake. She immediately asked if I had been holding her hand. Then we knew what was happening—for our friend Mr. Bailey always held our hands for a long time when we visited him. We both sat up in bed, fully awake but unable to move, aS we heard a strange whirring, vibrating sound just outside the bedroom win- dow. We both watched Mr. Bailey leave for the hospital in the car, but when he left us for another world we just couldn’t get up to see how he went. My wife and I did not dream this. We believe that we had established some kind of rapport with Mr. Bai- ley since all three of us had been sick for some time. We believe that this rapport enabled Mr. Bailey to bridge the gap between this world and another world long enough to say goodbye. We often wonder what we would have seen had we been able to look out the window as Mr. Bailey left us that last night—Colorado Springs, Colo.

BOOKS THE STUDY AND PRACTICE OF ASTRAL PROJECTION, by Robert Crookall. The Aqua- rian Press, London, 1961. ix plus 234 pages, $7.50. There are, broadly speaking, two different ways in which a serious treatment of astral projection may be handled. One is the approach of the psychic researcher interested in a scientific evaluation of the numer- ous reports of out-of-the-body ex- periences; the other is the approach of the religious person who is main- ly interested in the possibility of such experiences proving’ survival after death. Dr. Crookall’s back- ground as a respected geologist and paleobotanist would suggest an in- clination to the former. He is, how- ever, very active in the Churches’ Fellowship for Psychical Study and thus very interested in proving survival. As a result of this dual allegiance, Dr. Crookall tries to combine both approaches in his book, and as a result is not entirely successful at either. From the standpoint of psychic research, there are many shortcom- ings to his treatment of the case studies. His 160 cases of astral pro- jection are drawn from varied sources, predominantly English spiritualistic books and magazines. Many of the cases are second or even third-hand in reporting. Most lack any sort of verification or cor- roboration. A good many were first reported only many years after the alleged experience. Even where there is corroborat- ~ ing testimony, it is not given here; the reader must seek the original reference. As so often is true of amateur psychic investigators, ROBERT CROOKALL

What material he does quote from these sources seems to be limited to what has been reprinted in more recent surveys of spontaneous cases. His editing of the case reports likewise is disappointing. His pur- pose seems to be to cite every re- port he could find, thus permitting no space for quoting more than brief highlights from each. He weak- ens rather than strengthens his ar- gument by including cases which he himself admits probably are to be considered telepathic or mystical (in the religious sense) rather than as- tral projection. One feels the whole book would have been far more con- vincing if Crookall had quoted more fully the best-verified cases and omitted the others. Also one wonders why Crookall must continually break the con- tinuity with his side comments. Every time a percipient mentions a connection between the physical and astral bodies he remarks in brack- ets “= the ‘silver card’—cf. State- ment No. 19”? This becomes exceed- ingly repetitious after a few dozen cases, especially when the reader is left to wonder where “Statement No. 19” may be found. If he reads patiently enough, he eventually will locate the statements thus eryptic- ly referred to in the fifth appen- dix to the book! I would advise any- one attempting to make sense of the cases to begin the book with Appendix I and Appendix V. These are the heart of everything that Crookall has to say and are as ex- cellent as the rest of the book is
Page 101
NEW BOOKS confusing unless they have been read first. In his analysis Crookall makes one very significant contribution to the understanding of astral pro- jection. He presents substantial evi- dence that the non-physical body is compound, consisting of the “body- veil”, the astral body proper (which he terms “psychical body”), and higher spiritual bodies (which are beyond the scope of his study). This concept is so useful in clarify- ing poorly understood experiences that relegating it to the back of the volume is exceedingly unfor- tunate. I fear that many research- ers will be so discouraged by the muddled case reporting that they will put aside the volume before finding the highly important ma- terial at the end.—David Techter. NUMEROLOGY, by Vincent Lopez. The Cita- del Press, Publishers, New York, N. Y., 1961. 151 pages. $3.50. To anyone interested in having a first rate textbook on simplified, scientific Numerology this attrac- tive volume by the celebrated band- leader will not be disappointing. Vincent Lopez has a lively, vivid style which makes his treatment of the ancient Art of Numbers a pleas- ure to read. The book is divided into four parts: Forecasting at a Glance, Your Path of Destiny, Your Name, and Numbers and Philosophy. The examples and explanations are so clear and concise that even those who run may read it with profit. Numerology, like its sister, as- trology, is one of the Occult Arts which adherents feel demonstrated its worth for thousands of years. 97 IMPORTANT NEW BOOKS EXPLORING INNER SPACE By Jane Dunlap This records in detail, the psycholo- gical and mystical insights gained when LSD-25, the new vision-produc- ing drug, was taken in a series of studies, under rigid medical super- vision. Intensely self-revealing, often intimate, the book is unlike any ever published. Many will find the deep- est revelation in its extraordinarily graphic and movingly beautiful ex- pression of inner awareness and Cos- mic participation in which ‘‘God is seen face to face.’’ The psychologist, Dr. Robert Davidson, discusses_ the properties and possible uses of LSD in his introduction and in an_ ap- pendix where he states that, ‘‘perhaps one fourth of those who take the drug have profound mystical exper- iences.’” 3.75 NEW WORLDS BEYOND THE ATOM By Langston Day In collaboration with George De La Warr Describes, from the Delawarr Labor- atories, Oxford, England, the fasci- nating research that has revealed new forms of radiation, unknown to science, that can be used for diagno- sis and therapy, stimulation of growth, photographing the flower in the seed from which it will grow, and many other amazing gers THE ETHERIC DOUBLE By A.

In January 1942 he stated that “the President may suf- fer a personal loss’”—which proved to be his mother. He emphasizes that ‘Numerology does not encourage a morally dan- gerous fatalism.

You are the master of your destiny, for it is all a matter of spiritual in- sight and moral and mental self- discipline.” The only place where he departs from the traditional Arcane teach- ings is in the section on Planets and Numbers where Mercury, instead of Jupiter, is given rulership over number 3, the Earth instead of Uranus over number 4, Mars in- stead of Mercury over number 5, Saturn instead of Neptune over number 7, Jupiter instead of Sat- urn over number 8, and Vulcan in- stead of Mars over number 9.

We heartily recommend this book. —George Cardinal LeGros. STRANGE SECTS AND CURIOUS CULTS, by Marcus Bach. Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, 1961. 277 pages, $4.50. This is a book on 15 of the off- beat religions of the world written by a man who, having taken the trouble to understand them, writes about them with sympathy. Dr. Marcus Bach is the author of 10 other books on re ligion and states frankly “religion is my beat’’. He has travelled around the world for 20 years, sometimes at his own expense, sometimes on a Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship, or on a mission for the State Department, talking with religious leaders and with the members of religious cults, learning first hand the whats and whys of their faiths and practices. He has witnessed Voodoo rites in Haiti, has talked with the Doukho- bors in Canada, has walked with Bhave in India, has visited with Frank B. Robinson, founder of Pys- chiana, in Idaho, has studied the pur- poses and methods of Father Divine, has observed the Penitentes in New Mexico suffering self-inflicted pun- ishment as they atone for their sins —and from these experiences he has written Strange Sects and Curi- ous Cults. Dr. Bach has done a very able job of reporting on these religions, which he has broken down into three sections, the sex cults, the conscience cults, and the search for Utopia, and he has been able to

NEW BOOKS communicate to the reader some of his own insight and understanding. He writes about real people and their very real needs and dreams. Perhaps the critical researcher will feel Dr. Bach has over-simplified and omitted ramifications and de- tails necessary to history, but for this very reason the book will be read by more persons, with more pleasure, and will thereby spread more widely Dr. Bach’s wonderful feeling of the brotherhood of man. Under the sex cults Dr. Bach in- cludes Baalism; Osirism, Shivism, Voodooism, Sex and Christianity. Under Conscience Cults are Peni- tentes, Father Divine, the Oxford Groupers, Psychiana, and the Apoc- alypticists. The searchers for Uto- pia are the Doukhobors, the Shak- ers, the Amanas, the Hutterites, and the Mormons. This is an effective book on the realities of many beliefs and peo- ple—not only for the newcomer to the field of religious study who can learn here with pleasure and en- joyment, but also for the student of religion and psychology who will find valuable data in it.

Box 671 Evanston, Il. FATE though it does prove that the life of a healer is fruitful, sometimes hazardous, and always exciting. The point of Thomas’ life, and the point of his book, is that or- ganic illness is cured by spiritual intervention. Because mere paper and print do not provide all the dimensions needed for such proof, a factual analysis must expose Psy- chic Surgeon as a weak book. The sophisticated student of the psychic and the occult must realize the im- possibility of demanding proof, and concentrate on an examination of the phenomena which have crowded the life and work of Jesse Thomas. Although nothing has been estab- lished beyond a doubt, there is probably more proof of Thomas’ eures than of any of his contem- porary or predecessor lay healers. He has become one of the most wide- ly investigated men of all time. Fatr, November, 1956, reported Thomas’ success with a South Afri- ean ulcer patient whose ulcer was a reality to both the victim and the X-ray film. Following “psychic sur- gery” by Thomas’ control, the spirit doctor, the patient was operated on to verify the cure. The real life surgeon found only a small scar where X-rays had shown the ulcer. In his much-investigated role as a healer, Thomas has probably met as many doctors as has the presi- dent of the American Medical Asso- ciation. Most of these tell him that if he is successful it is only in cases of hysterical illness or faulty diag- nosis. After treating over 90,000 patients Thomas is still willing to accept this thesis, but he is begin- ning to wonder if there aren’t too many bad diagnosticians in the med- ical profession.—P. O. F.

THE SHAPE OF DEATH? I wish to comment on Nellie O’- Brien’s description of “death” as related in “True Mystic Experi- ences” in the August issue. This huge.black shape, exactly as she described it in every detail, woke me out of a sound sleep when I was about 13 years old. It bent over my bed and so terrified me that my heart raced until I thought I would suffocate. I looked straight up at it, too horrified to cry out,.my breath caught in my chest by a terrible pain. I could not speak but “willed” the menacing thing to go away. I “fought” it mentally and slowly it backed away and dissolved. I never have forgotten that terrible experi- ence, A physician to whom I related the incident, years afterward, said I probably suffered a heart seizure and may have been close to death. Strangely enough, two other per- sons have told me they saw the identical black, bat-like shape, em- anating evil; one upon being waked by it and the other while out camping. He said it was there in his tent, then backed away and was gone.

REPORT FROM THE READERS Francis of Assisi (1182-1226) who founded the Franciscian Order, the learned Irish monk Johannes Scotus Erigna: St. Bonaventura (1221- 1274) Card: Franciscian Gen;—The Seraphiec Doctor; Thomas Campan- ella, the Dominican monk who was sent into exile on account of his belief in the successive return of the soul to earth.” Similar information regarding St. Francis may be found in anoth- er excellent book on reincarnation, Metempsychosis, by John H. Manas. St. Augustine in his Confessions, i;6 writes, “Did I not live in an- other body, or somewhere else, be- fore entering my mother’s womb?” “St. Jerome assisted in the prep- aration of the ‘Vulgate,’ and was a man of most sanctified and schol- arly life. This worthy Churchman declared that the doctrine of trans- 107 migration was taught as an eso- teric mystery in the early church.” (Reincarnation: Cycle of Necessity.) St. Gregory of Nyssa wrote: “It is absolutely necessary that the soul should be healed and purified, and if this does not take place dur- ing its life on earth, it must be ac- complished in future lives.” In regard to the Koran, it is not surprising that Mr. Oldendorph was unable to quickly locate the sura quoted in my article; the Koran is a voluminous work and the suras are not numbered by verse and chapter as in the Bible. The exact quotation from yet another trans- lation of the Koran reads: “How is it that ye believe not in God? Since ye are dead and He gave you life, He will hereafter cause you to die, and will again restore you to life; then shall ye return to him.” ANCIENT SECRET WISDOM By L. A. Lewis An important secret tradition originated in India 5,000 years ago. At this time, astronomical and sacred truths were combined into Deities and Symbols.

Some of them say that Resurrection will be by Reincarnation and quote pas- sages from the Quran and authenti- cated sayings of the Prophet in sup- port of their contention.” I sincerely hope the foregoing will supply the information re- quested.—Paul M.

ICE AGE CONCEPTS The Drayson hypothesis, as out- lined in the August, 1961, issue of Fats, deals with calculations by Drayson, an astronomer, of the shifting of the tropics and the arc- tic circles over thousands of years. This item omits the usual 2.6 de- gree shift cycle, but probably refers to that phenomenon of shift of an- gle size of intersection of ecliptic with equator as per any recent Ephemeris. For example, the “rate of change” is given as “decreasing” a fraction of a second per annum. According to the chart on page 51 in the August, 1961, issue of FATE, the rate was a maximum in 5,500 B.C. and again about 21,500 B.C. It is regretted that no attention is paid in said item to the phenom- ena known in alternating current engineering as “peaks” due to syn- chronization of various cyclic items. Such type curves often show a grad- ual approach to a peak; and a sudden drop after the peak, and

With a rod and a map Henry Gross, subject of Kenneth Roberts’ famed book, located springs of pure water on Bermuda, the island which geologists said had no under- ground water supply. Can you use a divining rod? Probably. The scientific book by Charles Richet, Nobel prize winner in medicine and physiology, says that ‘‘out of every one hundred persons, nearly twenty individuals—possibly more’ can obtain PSYCHIC EXPERIMENTS with the DIVINING ROD Your Divining Rod can be used for an experiment that makes an _ exciting and convincing parlor game. Bring six or more assorted empty bottles into a room. Tell your friends to select one bottie and concentrate on it. Leave the room while they make their selection and concentrate their thoughts on it. Theh return with your Divining Rod, and its reaction will tell you which bot- tle your friends have selected. definite results with a divining rod. Our Divining Rod was designed after Kenneth Roberts revealed that Henry Gross could find water if he touched his rod to water, your lost pencil if he touched his rod to something of yours. The 4-Inch wooden handle of the Vi- broscopic Divining Rod has a cham- ber to hold samples of the substance you seek. From the handle runs an 8-inch spring steel wire. The action of the wire tells you when you find the object of your search. Although the Vibroscopic Divining Rod is complicated to manufacture, it is simple to use. It costs $4.95 but its versatility and amazing action make this a low price. Made in U. S. Immediate delivery. Pa SSR ee eee a i a CLARK PUBLISHING CO. i 845 Chicago Ave., Evanston, III. !

FINDING THE SACRED MUSHROOM I read the article in the August, 1961, issue of Farr, “The Finding of the Sacred Mushroom,” and was surprised that the people in the ar- ticle had to question spirits about where to find the mushrooms. These mushrooms can be found easily in Latvia and in Sweden, too. As a boy in Latvia, I often went into the woods to pick them and bring them home to kill flies. They are golden in color, sprinkled over with yellowish-white warts. Their Latvian name is mushmira. Musha means fly and mira died. I think I have seen the mushrooms around here, too.—Chas. Dennin. N. White Plains, N. Y. SPIRITISM VS. SPIRITUALISM In the August, 1961, issue, page 99, is a sentence which needs to be rectified. In regard to A. da Silva Mello, the FATE writer states: “When dealing with spiritism (as he prefers to term spiritualism), his experiences are limited,” etc. First of all, there is no spiritual- ism in Brazil as it is understood in the U.S.A., for spiritualism is an Anglo-Saxon product. Although both appellations pertain to institutions whose aim is to prove the survival of the human being after corporeal death, it is as far from the truth to identify these two institutions by using either name as it would be to call oil and vinegar the same liquid instead of both liquids.

BOX 665 e EVANSTON, ILLINOIS THE COMPLEAT GUIDE To The Spirit World Buried with every ancient Egyptian was a copy of THE BOOK OF THE DEAD. On rolls of papyrus the late official, priest or priestess was given a complete explanation of the spells, magical formulae and words of power useful in meeting problems of the spirit world. Now you can read and see this same mystic information—the basis of a doctrine of resur- rection developed 5000 years before Christ—in your own copy of THE BOOK OF THE DEAD. The late Sir E. A. W. Budge of the British Museum translated the finest specimen of @ BOOK OF THE DEAD ever found, and in late 1960 it was published in the U.S. as a mag- nificent 736-page yolume complete with 15 plates and 420 vignettes. THE BOOK OF THE DBAD which was thus translated and pub- Ushed is the book found in the tomb of Ani, royal scribe and overseer, buried at Thebes dur- ing the XVIII dynasty. THE BOOK OF THE DEAD is the summary of the religious philosophy developed by the first civilized society. It is now basic material for students of the occult and psychic sciences, history, and religion, Our volume purchasing makes it possible to offer THE BOOK OF THE DEAD at $9.95—far below publisher's list price of $12.50. UNIVERSITY BOOKS 845 Chicago Ave. Evanston, 4. FATE The development of Allan Kar- dec’s spiritism does not include an ecclesiastical body as spiritualism does, but extends a large organi- zation of welfare to mankind. In Brazil, where A. da Silva Mel- lo wrote his book, the spiritists own about 25 hospitals, some having a capacity of 500 beds, where every- one is cared for, without distinc- tion of race, faith, or color, and this gratuitously if the patient cannot afford even a small fee. The spiritists own hundreds of schools for children of all ages and colors, from nurseries up to uni- versities. They have numerous rest homes for the aged, for young moth- ers and their babies; they have night shelters for needy travelers; they own their own broadcasting stations, etc. The Book of Spirits, written by Allan Kardec, the nom de plume of Hippolyte Leon Denizart Rivail, M.D., born in Lyons, France, in 1804, was honored by the Brazilian government in 1957 by a postage stamp, on the occasion of the cen- tenary of the publication of this book, which is the cornerstone of spiritism. Anyone wishing to contact the federation of spiritism of Brazil may write to Dr. Deolindo Amor- im, President of the Instituto de Cultura Espiritista do Brazil, rua dos Andrades 96-120 andar, sala 1205, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where the most cordial welcome is sure to be extended to all letters.

FATE opinion, one of the most interesting you have produced in quite some time. You seem to be recapturing that wild and whirling sense of wonder that your early issues so consistently evoked. Peggy Juergens’ story, ‘The Boy Who Didn’t Know He Died,” is one of the most remarkable you ever have published. It is one of the very few recorded cases of what might be called “spontaneous me- diumship,” or the seeming posses- sion of one person by the spirit of another. John’s case is rather reminiscent of the experiences of Lurancy Ven- num (see “The Return of Mary Roff” by John P. Bessor, FATE, March, 1955), Maria Talarico (see “The Possession of Maria Talari- co’ by Edmond P. Gibson, FATE, April, 1953), Iris Farezady (see “Reincarnation of Lucia Salvio” by Cornelius Tabori, FATE, June, 1953), and Concetto Bonsignor (see “The Case of the Ancient Greek Ghost” by Edmond P. Gibson, FATE, Janu- ary, 1954) —T. Peter Park, Gar- den City, L.I., N.Y. GEOGRAPHICAL JIGSAW For some reason, the column headed “Only Yesterday” on pages 17 and 18 of the June issue reminded me of an old theory I have not thought of for years. In 1942 or 19438, in fifth or sixth grade elementary school, we used the flat Mercator projection wall maps of the world. I noticed some- thing that puzzled me and asked the geography teacher about it. She laughed it off as coincidence. How- ever, it may interest some of your readers. I never have seen any ar- ticles touching on this idea.

REPORT FROM THE READERS In looking at the coast line of portions of land bordering the At- lantic Ocean, the outlines seemed similar, as if they ought to fit together. South America looked as if it should fit into the lower por- tion of Africa. The top of Africa containing Algeria and the Sahara Desert looked as if it should fit into the Gulf of Mexico. The top part of the U.S.A. and Canada (containing. Labrador) seemed to fit into the Mediterranean and Europe, Spain and France seemed to fit into Hudson Bay. That is substantially the impres- sion I had as a child. I thought that perhaps in prehistoric times, North and South America and Europe and Africa had been one land mass which had separated in some.gigantic cataclysm. I thought that all the little coastal islands were the debris left after the land masses were torn apart. Of course, there may be nothing in this, as otherwise geological sim- ilarities would have been found in Brazil and the Gold Coast—Nigeria and Angola, for instance. Or French West Africa and Mexico. I also thought that the mountain ridges on the Pacific Coast in Can- ada, the U.S.A., Mexico and South America might have been formed as the continents were pushed west- ward after separating. They looked like solid ripples to a school girl. —Jeanette Thomas, Philadelphia, Pa.

CLARK PUBLISHING CO. 845 Chicago Ave., Evanston, Illinois FATE and where an old woman “vanished” in the foothills of the Angeles For- est. She fell over the edge of a steep slope, died and went unno- ticed for six weeks only 50 feet from a driveway. It is understandable how a small body, lodged in a crevice in the rocks of the deeper canyons might never be discovered. As you will see by the other clipping I enclose, wild animals, coming down out of the mountains quickly could dispose of a body, leaving only scattered bones which in certain areas would blend with the gray limestone of the San Gabriel mountains, or be overgrown with brush. Wild animals are more plentiful in the mountains of Southern Cali- fornia than is generally supposed. Last fall my wife and I saw a dead horse lying beside the very heavily traveled Malibu Canyon Road. It had been fatally injured by a lion. However, I do not imply that the recent disappearances of chil- dren were normal. Especially in the eases of the Bowman and Kremen boys, I feel that supernatural forces may have been at work.—Paul T. Collins, Pasadena, Calif. THE END OF THE WORLD When I was a boy “The End of the World” was a well-known phrase, which we all took for granted; just as we learned, from people whose words we believed, that the first thunderstorm of spring brought out the turtles, frogs and snakes in the creeks and ditches of the Hack- ensack meadows. I knew that every dirt road in our town came to an end and that railroads all had end- ings. I also learned that the angel Gabriel would blow his horn on the

YOU CAN’T DO IT ALONE! You can't find the answers to those many questions that go through your mind, as they do ours —The mysteries of life are too complex, too complicated, too hidden! You've got to reach other people, learn what they've found out, dis- cuss it with them! But how? Did you know there is a magazine that is devoted to letting you do that; the only magazine in the world that really lets its readers join together and have their say? SEARCH Magazine does exactly what its title implies—it searches, and it lets you search! It gets its questions and answers from everyone who is seeking, passing on whatever they have learned. Thou- sands of people have found life more worth- while, more meaningtul, since they joined SEARCH’S wonderful tamily. They have found new worlds more exciting than they have ever dreamed of. What is really going on around you, invisible and behind the scenes? What is life? What is Death? What about faith healing; the Shaver Mystery, rein- carnation; flying saucers; life on other planets; the mysterious and unknown? SEARCH is published every other month. Subscription $2.00 (6 issues); $4.00 (12 issues). Address; Amherst, Wisconsin. FLYING SAUCERS ARE A FACT? A national poll has proved that one American in every four is aware of the truth of that statement. In spite of this, FLYING SAUCERS magazine is the only publication devoted to presenting all the facts and all the latest news concerning unidentified flying objects. It is the only magazine wherein the public can pierce the fog which shrouds a matter of vital and general public concern. Here is a magazine you can depend on to keep you up to the minute on every devel- opment. More than 5000 sightings have been re- ported to the editors, and new sightings come in daily. Hundreds of these are from reputable peo- ple, airline pilots, scientific experts, even clergy- men. FLYING SAUCERS has a staff of experts who evaluate every sighting, subject every photo to exhaustive tests, analyze every theory pre- sented, and who meticulously report the truth as they see it. Today Man is aiming his sights at the stars. He intends to fly to other planets. But are the inhabitants of other worlds already visit- ing us? It may be so, but even if not, this mag- azine is writing the daily history of the new space age! FLYING SAUCERS THE MAGAZINE OF SPACE CONQUEST is published every other month. Subscriptions $2.00 (6 issues) ; $4.00 (12 issues). Address: Amherst, Wisconsin. IIQ

On becoming a man I learned that the world undergoes changes, but will not end; that neither matter nor energy can be destroyed, but only changed from one form to an- other. I have seen many trees grow and die. The dead wood is burned by ox- idation, which is a slow form of combustion, and disappears into the air as carbon dioxide gas and wa- ter vapor; leaving an ash of residu- al matter which builds up the top- soil. The carbon dioxide gas is ab- sorbed by other vegetable growths. The water vapor condenses into rain and is added to the growing oceans. The tree ashes and other decayed vegetation, which become topsoil, are mixed with mineral dust, carried by wind and rain. It becomes mud when wet. When dry it is dirt. Dirt, after centuries of time, becomes hardpan, which eventually becomes rock. The chemical name of every atom, of the hardpan and rock, can be learned by making it inean- descent and reading the wavelengths of the atoms by means of the spec- troscope. The wavelengths of each of the atoms show us which light ray it is returning to and, therefore, from which light ray it was created dur- ing the photosynthesis of its slow growth. The energies of the light rays were converted to the energies of the molecules of the vegetation, which on being made incandescent return to light rays. Neither matter nor energy can be destroyed, but they are mutually (Continued on page 128)

REPORT FROM THE READERS came as energy from celestial space in the form of light rays. When our earth becomes a star it will be The End of the World as we know it; but it will not end. It will be a radiating star, helping other planets to grow and become stars.— Hugh Auchincloss Brown, E.E., Douglaston, N. Y. “LIKE AN OCTOPUS” Some years ago I had a vivid dream in which I was shown some- thing I should have investigated long since, but did not as I knew no one I] could confide in. I am a practical nurse, have had some hos- pital experience, and many experi- ences with healing. In the dream I was told to as- sist a certain doctor, who was to explain something to me. I was in surgery and the doctor told me to watch carefully. He was operating on a patient with cancer, and I obeyed as he gave me various in- structions. The operation involved an area on the outside of the body. In the last part of the operation I can remember only one of the solutions used on the growth, but I saw the center turn a different color. The doctor asked me for the forceps and I handed them to him. He picked up the center and with it came feelers like those of an octopus. I feel I should talk to someone about it, but who could I get in touch with? Could a person be re- gressed and thus review that in- formation? I know you must get a lot of letters from people, and I want to say I am no crackpot. I have raised five children and am a widow.— Bessie Scotto, Sacramento, Calif. 129 YOUR FUTURE By Psychometry For three years SEARCH magazine has presented the world-famous psy- ae aE expert, Dorothy Pee Lauer. hy not send her $4.
