\ (Advertisement ) ——__—_$_____ | Discovered The Real Me! By R. A. VINCI Mi: anxiety mounted and my pace quickened rapidly as I ran all the way to catch the 8:15. As I luckily occupied the last avail- able seat, I noticed a book left there by a previous passenger. Quite absent-mindedly I ran through the first few lines; a mo- ment later I was excitedly engross- ed in its entire contents, eagerly discovering clues which led to a life long treasure. I learned that most people never realize they live at only half their potential capacity and that an ordinary person could systematically remember every- thing he wanted to. Realizing the immense scope of that statement — what it might accomplish in the way of a business and social asset, I decided to test its truth. I withdrew from my briefcase the sales report of our, company and began reading in the manner pre- scribed. The long list of complex statistics seemed an overwhelming challenge. After reading it over a few times I observed that I could recite them with hardly a mistake. I was astonished at the memory I had acquired and began reflecting how this new control I was achiev- ing would materially help me to greater success in life. After this, I applied myself to mastering the simple technique of this memory system and each day I became more confident as I applied the things I learned. Along with this remark- able development came new self- assurance and greater stature. In short, I became more popular. Within a week everyone was taking notice of my new personality. Needless to say, my wife soon adopted the same program apply- ing the technique fo her civic and. social activities. Complicated data, passages from/books, etc. could be quoted with ease. My memory had become a trusted servant, adept for any purpose or occasion by record- ing all information I chose to re- member. If I have obtained from life a measure of wealth and happiness it is to that book I owe it, for it re- vealed to me the most important asset for success in life. A free copy of this book is avail- able to all who wish to develop their memory by writing to the author, Dr. Bruno Furst, c/o Memory Studies, 835 Diversey Pkwy., Dept. 3186, Chicago 14, Ill. This little book “Adventures in Memory” will be sent to you postage prepaid with- out cost or obligation.

ale ~QUOTE OF THE MONTH -.... geopraphers (who) in Afric maps With savage pictures fill their gaps, And o’er unhabitable downs Place elephants for want of towns. — Jonathan Swift HEN DEAN SWIFT wrote the above doggerel he was complaining about the great lack of geographical knowledge in his times — roughly the beginning of the 18th Century. Recently George H. T. Kimble, professor of geography at Indiana University and for seven years sec- retary-treasurer of the International Geographic Union, quoted Swift with approval in the May 10 issue of The Reporter. There are still enormous “gaps in our maps” according to Professor Kimble. And for those skeptics who not only are tired of hearing about “un- known monsters” from strange and unknown places, but who doubt that they even exist, let us hark to Pro- fessor Kimble’s words: “Within 30 minutes’ flying time of Seattle, Maracaibo, and Aden, there are tracts that never have been described, let alone surveyed By Curtis Fuller scientifically. There are many sim- ilar areas in the Amazon Basin, the Sahara, New Guinea, and the moun- tain country that fills so much of Central Asia.” So, at least, we have vast areas where unknown animals could exist. After all, we wouldn’t expect to find then in known places. Professor Kimble, incidentally, points out that we are even more ignorant of the oceans — their cur- rents, surfaces, and bottoms. For the comfort of those believers in Atlantis who sometimes wonder where it might have been, what with all the surveys now blithely re- ported, Professor Kimble quotes Harry B. Stewart, Jr., chief ocean-

8 ographer of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey that: “Only two per cent of the ocean bottom is adequately charted and this charting has been limited al- most exclusively to the . . . con- tinental shelf.” oO MORE ON FIREFLIES AN? SO THE golden fireflies of space weren’t paint flecks after all but probably ice crystals or ‘snowflakes — though even that isn’t dead certain. The clue came from Lieut. Comdr. Scott Carpenter’s report after he had landed and been inter- rogated, “They look like snow, like a small snowflake that’s caught in an eddy — in a rising air current. They have random movements, they are brilliant — more brilliant than any star. And they move in. They move consistently. One particle will move consistently but different particles have different relative movements. “The biggest breakthrough in the particle field came at the end of the orbit, south of Hawaii, when I happened to see a _ particularly bright one, and a particularly large one. “T reached over to the hatch for _ the photometer to try to get a reading on its brilliance. And my hand hit the hatch and at this time FATE a tremendous cloud of particles © came by the window. “T took the photometer off and rapped the side of the capsule. And each time I hit the capsule a cloud of particles would fly off. Some were small, some were large, some . were illuminated and some were gray. “Some were very bright and some were silhouetted. I could hit the capsule’s side anywhere and these particles would fly off. “T made this remark on the tape at the time, that it appeared to me that the capsule must be covered with frost, and that a rap on the. side would knock the frost off. The size of the particles varies from a 16th of an inch in diameter up to a half an inch in length. “T believe these particles came from the capsule.” oO REASONABLE? OW WE SUBMIT that this sounds like a reasonable state- ment. We don’t think it’s conclu- sive, because it also seems possible that although the particles did in- deed come from the surface of the space capsule they were not in- digenous to it but were picked up by it on its trip through space. They might then cling to it by electrical attraction or for other reasons.- They could even be frost crystals netted by the craft on its

I SEE BY THE PAPERS journey and not formed on its sur- face. Then why, after John Glenn’s — observation of the objects, were we presented with the labored conclu- sion that they were paint flecks? We discussed the tenuous reasoning behind this theory last month and won’t repeat it. But it is this kind of thing — this apparent reaching out for an- swers — that makes UFO fans, for example, so suspicious of the “of- ficial” explanations which the Air Force issues so regularly. ie 2) THE PSYCHIC POSTAL SERVICE LL HAIL to the smart mail carriers who know the names of everyone on their routes. This feat of- memory, however, cannot explain either of these two similar stories. Late in April Mrs. Bertha Tate of Rosewood Heights, Ill., mailed a postcard to Mrs. Beulah Thomp- son, also of Rosewood Heights, from _ Evansville, Ind. She forgot to in- clude any address on the card. Nevertheless, Mrs. Thompson re- ceived it. How? A reporter from the Alton Eve- ning Telegram queried employes of the East Alton Post Office, which handled the mail.

LO Kenneth Arnold, who coined the widely pub- licized term “flying saucers’ as a result of his original sighting of them in 1947, has been nominated to run for lieutenant governor of Idaho on the Republican ticket. route. The Thompson’s blessed car- rier remembered that he did. So far so good. But Beulah Thompson’s name was the only part of the address on the whole card. How did the card get from Evansville to Rosewood Heights? The same thing happened in Flor- ida. George Kram, 30 West 59th St., Hialeah, received a letter from his sister in Baltimore on Thurs- day, April 19. There was no ad- dress on the letter this time — not even Kram’s name. Postman Ezio Rosetti, who has delivered mail on the same Hialeah route for 11 years was able to ex- FATE plain how he had found Kram. He discovered the envelope in his de- livery batch and recognized the Baltimore return address as similar to other letters he had delivered to the Krams. He checked it out with Mrs. Kram and sure enough, she did know Mildred Carter of 2311 Smith Ave., Baltimore. But that still leaves us with the major mystery of how the letter got from Baltimore to Hialeah, and thence into Ezio Rosetti’s particular batch of mail? Postal officials esti- mate it must have passed through at least 10 hands after it left Balti- more. ; oO ACH LOCH NESS ILLIAM H. STONEMAN of the Chicago Daily News For- eign Service tells us that this is the year to catch “Nessie” — the Loch Ness monster. The alleged creature will be hunt- ed by two scientifically equipped expeditions financed by the London Observer. One expedition, led by Lieut. Col. H. G. Hasler, a war hero, will use a sailboat — to silent- ly sneak close enough to his prey to take photographs. He will have 40 assistants. The second expedi- tion, led by two Cambridge Univer- sity undergraduates, will use Nor- wegian echo sounders so sensitive they can detect a frogman swim- ming 500 yards away.

FATE INFRA-RED SEEING OME ANIMALS, such as cats, \ can see farther into the infra- red spectrum than man can, and pit vipers can detect.a change of tem- perature of a fraction of a degree. Now it appears that man too has a kind of “infra-red” vision which enables him to distinguish warm colors in complete darkness, accord- ing to an Italian neuro-psychiatrist, Dr. Franco Boccalette. His findings were based on ex- periments carried out on a team of 21 Italians who spent an entire week in complete darkness in a cave 1,300 feet underground.. Dr. Boccalette discovered that the “infra-red” vi- sion of the men was weak but never- theless, they could distinguish cer- tain colors in absolute darkness. io 2) CALLING ALL SATELLITES N AMERICAN research stu- dent at Oxford, Stephen Ab- rams, is conducting a series of ex- periments which he believes confirm his theory that the human brain is able to broadcast to other brains without regard for distances. Abrams recently made a trip to Russia and returned with the report that the Soviets have evidence of electro-magnetic waves emanating from the brain on a wavglenam of two millimeters. Although previous ecpcan have already indicated that tele-

U.P.I. photo pathy seems to transcend time and space, Abrams apparently believes that his experiments, recorded on stereophonic tape and checked by computers, are more scientific than previous work. “What we have done proves that ESP or telepathy, in the non-scien- tific sense, may not be restricted by distances,” he says. “This research may well reveal new principles of the operation of the human brain and be of help in psychology and neurology. “An intercontinental mental mis- sile?

I SEE BY THE PAPERS The first part of May, telephone reports to the Allentown Morning Call variously described a six foot, seven inch woman dressed in white; a translucent body walking on water; a woman dressed in flowing robes who outraced a motorcycle doing 70 m.p.h.; and an appari- tion which disappeared under the beam of a flashlight. Police Chief Alex Husack, who didn’t like the reports, first con- ducted a motor vehicle check to curb curious ghost hunters and when that didn’t keep crowds away he explained: “T think some parent wanted to scare his boy from fishing up there at night and draped a sheet around himself, then walked down the tow- path. That was Wednesday. Then on Monday night some youngsters were out in a canoe on the canal. When they saw some kids on the bank, they pulled a sheet over their heads. Now there is nothing to this.” oO BEWITCHED GATE T TOKYO International Air- port there is a Torii —a “be- witched” Shinto Gateway built for other purposes about a century ago.

We can exchange ideas, we can challenge old ones, we can devise new ones without fear of being clapped in a dun- geon or ostracized as a heretic. Here knowledge and research is the recognized realm of activity of every person. That is why we have published the magazine called SEARCH, which we first introduced in November, 1953. The articles in SEARCH are thought-provoking, challenging, typified by an upward-looking spirit of inquiry, ranging from the lowliest investigator, the child who asks “Mommy, where did | come from?”, to Dr. Rhine of Duke University, who is engaged in a scientific search for the soul! SEARCH asks many such ques- tions, and as the answers are forthcoming, brings them to its readers honestly, competently and accurately.

In occupation days, the airport was an American air base. Air Force officials decided the gateway was - ugly and that it was ridiculous to keep it. But when an airman climbed up to start demolition he slipped, fell, and was badly injured. So the Americans too decided to let the Torri stand. oO WEIRD NOISE ae PUND THE Lake Long area, about 10 miles northeast of Marksville, La., the middle of May, ~ folks were mighty disturbed by a mystery noise that seemed to be centered in a two-acre grove of trees. An Avoyelles Parish sher- _ iff’s posse investigated. They could ~ hear the noise more than three miles away, as they approached. In the center of the grove, they found a rabbit that appeared to be para- lyzed by the din. Sheriff F. O. Didier conducted an entomological investigation, found that millions of locusts in the area were responsible for the roar. They advised agricul- tural authorities to spray the grove. That poor little paralyzed rab- bit was carried away out of the din, Once released it ran spryly FATE away. That’s what the Sheriff claims. oO PROGRESS OF A WOLF BOY pak AND MANY other maga- zines have discussed the strange problem of Indian wolf boys — pa- thetic little feral creatures who many believe have been adopted as babies by wolf mothers and brought up in wolf dens. One such child is Ramu, who was found naked and filthy in an empty railway car at Lucknow in 1954, His hands were bent inward, un- able to grip. He ate only raw meat and crawled on all fours, snarling at hospital attendants and struggling ferociously every time he was wash- ed and dressed. For several years doctors believed they might be able to make a hu- man being out of Ramu. But now they have nearly given up. He has relapsed into his old animal ways — utters weird cries as he used to do when he first came to the hospital at Lucknow, and takes no interest in what goes on around him. Doc- tors estimate his age at 17 but do not believe he will live much longer. oO WHA’ HOPPEN?

Mrs. Young dismissed her bad dream and went back to sleep but she tossed and turned, and waked again at 5:00 A.M. Her husband was not yet home, though he usual- ly returned from work around 1:30. She telephoned Don Brandon, also an assistant manager at the drugstore, and he hurried to the store, found Young on the floor, clubbed to death. Mrs. Young afterwards said that the importance of the dream seemed to grow on her, becoming more vivid and seeming more like a pre- monition.

I SEE BY THE PAPERS BACK INTO ACTION HE TIROS II weather satellite was taken off the list of active satellites last fall after a radio mes- sage was sent to stop its picture taking. The satellite had been launched on November 23, 1960, with a life expectancy of three months. A year later its power had become weak and its picture nearly useless, so the signal was sent to silence it. This Spring, the space agency ‘be- gan to receive TV pictures from two satellites. At first they were pretty shook up about it, since only Tiros IV was presumed to be operating. It turned out, though, that Tiros IV had become balky and a signal sent to correct the problem had reac- tivated Tiros II. Scientists still aren’t sure how or why. oo) FROM THE SKY?

I SEE BY THE PAPERS > If it was a comet, why wasn’t it observed approaching the Earth, since astronomers that year were on the lookout for the return of Hal- ley’s comet anyway? If it was a meteor, it set off shock waves actually measured as about equal to the 25-megaton So- viet blast of October 23, 1961. This “would mean that, as a meteor, it would have had to weigh at least 30,000 tons. But no fragments of a meteor have been found. In support of the theory that it was the world’s first atomic explo- sion, therefore, a geophysicist named A. V. Zolotov claims that: @ The blast had a temperature of several 10s of millions of degrees. -@ Some tree branches were burned to charcoal while others were un- touched, suggesting that the un- touched ones were in the shadow of a nuclear explosion. @ There were sharp variations in the geomagnetic field and an un- usual intensification of the night air glow—such as followed the American hydrogen bomb explosion of August, 1958. @ Trees in the Tunguska area grew at an unusually rapid rate after 1908, as has been observed in the wake of other atomic explosions. io 2) : HOMING TURTLES HE ABILITY of an animal to find its way kome over track- 21 IDOL OF THE SUN God of Luck INTRICATELY CARVED from a semi-prec- ious stone found near the Pyramid known as “Sun of God’’ in Mexico.

Nevertheless, even this is still a great mystery to humans who lack some of the senses that animals obviously possess. One of the most unusual proposi- tions we have heard in this area is the theory of Dr. Archie Carr, a University of Florida biologist, that sea turtles swim a straight course by using celestial navigation. Dr. Carr has convinced Navy biological researchers that studies’ of this ought to be made, and they are considering attaching miniature radios to the backs of giant sea turtles so they can be tracked over long distances. oO ARE ANIMALS PSYCHIC? ROBABLY, says Dr. J. B. Rhine. He recently reported on the re- sults of a 12-year study which “strongly suggests” that some an- imals are psychic. The great parapsychologist said he and a fellow researcher, Sara R, Feather, have tracked down 54 cases which indicate that ESP oc- curs in species other than man. Dr. Rhine has checked 500 cases of “puzzling animal behavior” since 1950, including animals that seem- ed to sense the death of a master away from home, or the imminent return of a master from a trip, or
Page 23
I SEE BY THE PAPERS impending danger to the master or the pet itself, Most of the cases Rhine and Feather studied, however, involve “PSI-trailing ability,” — the appar- ent extrasensory ability of an an- imal to find its master after being separated by a great distance for a fairly long time. The study turned up 54 cases in which a pet dog, cat or bird appar- ently followed its departed master “into wholly unfamiliar territory at a time: and under conditions which would allow the use of no conceivable sensory trail.” Dr. Rhine’s conclusion: “the an- imals would have to be guided by a still unrecognized means of know- ing” to perform such feats. In other words, they are psychic. lo a) P. S. London, England — Ted Sterrett is a mild-mannered leather mer- chant here who has painted for years without much success.

“Semyon and Valentina Kirlian are husband and wife team who discovered mysterious phenomena. ty af sl critdov \ age SEE BEFORE YOU pic- tures of a phenomenon that _ science knows nothing about. They were taken in an unusual way and tell of unusual things. Some years ago a curious thing happened to Semyon Kirlian, an electrician in the town of Krasno- dar, Russia. For years he had re- paired, tested and improved elec- trical apparatuses and appliances. ‘One day he noticed that if his fin- gers were! in a field of high-fre- quency currents and he touched a sheet of photographic paper faint imprints of strange zigzags, spots and lines would appear on it. A search in archives will reveal the information that the mysterious_ marks noticed by the electrician had been observed before. But no- body took the trouble to study, un- derstand, explain or, much less, make use of this phenomenon. It was simply forgotten. A sort of sixth sense told Semyon 25 Kirlian that his discovery was worth serious attention. Together with his wife, Valentina, who is a teacher and journalist, he began to experiment. * OK OK VERYBODY KNOWS that the atmosphere round our planet is laden with electricity. On Earth everything is surrounded by an electric field, constantly enveloped by charges. How are charges dis- tributed on the surface of bodies? What does their distribution depend upon? The contours of objects? Or their own electrical state and the physical and chemical processes taking place in them? And, lastly, what will a knowledge of these in- tricate processes give us? Before these questions can be an- swered a method must be found of photographing Nature’s “electric life”. The usual methods of photog- raphy will not do. The word “photography” means the art of producing images by the action of light. A number of meth-
Page 26
26 ods have now been developed of taking photographs without light, with. the aid of invisible infra-red, roentgen and radioactive rays. But to photograph the new phenomen- on a new camera and a special method of photography had to be developed. The result of much painstaking work was 14 patents. ‘The man and wife team of inven- tors made a universal high-fre- quency camera. All one has to do to take a picture is to cover the in- vestigated object (finger, hand, leg, leaf, coin) with a sheet of photo- graphic paper or film and switch on the high-frequency current, which, incidentally, operates outside the range of human perception. The Kirlians were fascinated by what they saw in the very first photographs. But the images were static, reflecting only a fleeting phase of the phenomenon. The in- vestigators then made a special ar- rangement for their microscope and in the radius of action of high-fre- quency currents a hitherto unseen world opened before their eyes: gal- axies of blue, violet, yellow and golden sparks shone against a dark background. Some twinkled, others shone steadily, and still others flashed at intervals. While one por- tion of these sparks was motion- less, the rest wandered about lum- inescent labyrinths. Over these fan- tastic galaxies of ghostly lights there were bright multi-colored flares and ‘ FATE there were also little dim clouds. The investigators used their mic- roscope on everything that came to hand—pieces of leather and wood, leaves and paper, metal plates and rubber. They found that the pat- tern of the luminescence was dif- ferent in each separate case, and that the photographs of living ob- jects differed sharply and revealed strange structural details. ae coer ects ACCUMULATED rapid- ly. They puzzled the investi- gators and the scientists whose at- tention their work attracted. Spe- cialists could give no explanation. Nobody doubted that the experi- ments brought out interesting and important phenomena, but nobody could say what these phenomena were. A fresh leaf was placed under a microscope. The high-frequency current was turned on and the phenomenon repeated itself. But some hours later the lights began to grow dim and go out in the same way as the lights of a city making ready to go to sleep. The flares grew dim, and the sparks and “clouds” lost their movement. The leaf died and the process of its death was mirrored in the picture of electric impulses. In a diseased plant the pattern of the luminescence changed before. a specialist could diagnose the dis- ease. The play of sparks and flares

A color film was placed on vari- ous parts o fthe body of a man— on his neck, over his heart and on his abdomen—and the resultant pictures reproduced variously color- ed spots. Nobody can as yet say what determines the colors. But the investigators found that they changed in accordance with the person’s health, mood and other factors. Pieces of insulation and metal were imbedded in a paraffin plate. The high-frequency picture of the plate clearly showed the outlines of these objects, thereby reporting what was hidden in it. These experiments were repeated over and over again. They hold out the promise of great developments in science. Unquestionably, the method of photography developed by the Kirlians is of great interest to science, although it is still too early to give an estimation of its practical importance and applica- bility. Such, for example, is the opinion of Professor L. A. Tumer- man, leading Soviet biophysicist, who recently visited the Kirlians. The Kirlians themselves and some of the scientists who went over their work are inclined to think that the pictures show some very complex vital activity of organisms coded in
Page 29
RUSSIANS PHOTOGRAPH LIFE — AND DEATH 20 color and electric signals. Some spe- cialists have gone further in their surmises. They think that the new method will make it possible to in- vestigate many secrets of life, that it will make it possible to diagnose diseases earlier than at present. Scientists, entire research estab- lishments are now helping the Kir- lians to understand the. phenome- non they discovered and to place it in the service of man. The work is making rapid progress and it is hoped that the investigations, com- parisons and analyses will yield con- vincing facts. IS THIS LIVING ELECTRICITY REALLY THE AURA? ‘HE EXCITING NEWS from Russia that a strange lumines- cence surrounds all living tissue and .that it can be photographed raises the question: Is this scientific proof of the “aura”? Many healers and sensitives have long professed to see a glow they call the “aura” surrounding humans and animals. They claim to be able to judge the state of a person’s health from the condition of his “aura”. In the 1920’s, Dr. Walter J. Kiln- er of St. Thomas’ Hospital in Eng- land did scientific work on the aura and invented the Kilner screens. These screens were later adapted to spectacles and goggles and now are worn by persons doing aura re- search. Most persons can actually see an aura surrounding living things with these goggles. In one sense the Russians too are reporting a kind of “aura” although scientifically it is quite different. -They appear to be only at the be- ginning of an immensely compli- cated investigation. Their photo- graphs show a vast number of dif- ferent energy effects. There are whole galaxies of colors. There are sparks, twinkles, flashes, pulsating lights, little luminous clouds, steady flares. They believe these complex sym- bols represent a code or codes show- ing many things. Insofar as they show the state of health of living things they will be a tool for med- ical diagnosticians. _, In this sense at least the Russian work is akin to the claims of our own sensitives who work with the “aura”. On the one hand, of course, the Russians do not yet claim to be able to diagnose illness by this method. On the other hand, there is no doubt that if they can unravel the code, they will have discovered something vastly more complex and subtle than has ever been claimed by students of the “aura”. — The Editors.

By Honey Sh Y The strange woman seemed startled when we met in the hall. Later it was my turn to be startled! And incredulous! IX YEARS AGO my wife, Ei- leen, and I spent a few days visiting her parents and other kin in a large 14 room house in the heart of Mamaroneck, N.Y. They had not occupied the house too long and it was our first visit with them there. Being on vacation, it was my pleasure to arise each morning much later than the others, who departed early to commute to New 30 York City to pursue their means of livelihood. One morning I rose around 10:00 o’clock and, after bathing and shav- ing, began my descent from the third floor to the kitchen for my usual bacon and eggs. As I left my bedroom and began walking down the long hall toward the head of the stairs I saw a strange woman ascending these stairs. As she stepped onto the
Page 31
third floor level she made a com- plete turn around the stairway ban- ister so that we came face to face about 15 feet apart. The hallway was well lighted by windows at either end, and I had a very good view of her. She ap- peared tall, poised and quite at- tractive, with blonde or possibly gray hair. She wore a white, floor- length gown, or what I thought at the time was a silk negligee. I would have guessed her age at 30 to 35 years. As our eyes met she stopped ab- ruptly and seemed startled at being seen. Dropping her eyes from mine she turned to her right and disap- peared into my father-in-law’s room. As she entered she glanced back over her shoulder directly at me, still retaining that look of fear in her eyes. In passing the door where she entered I could have reached out and taken hold of her robe as it slithered through the partly opened door. Many times since I have wished I had done just that! There was nothing extraordinary about the experience except that I did not recognize the woman and © wondered why she was entering my father-in-law’s room. This whole sequence took no more than a few seconds but something about it etched the scene on my memory. I shall never forget this beautiful woman, the grace of her gr walk, as though she were suspended just above the floor, nor the sad- ness in her eyes. After greeting my mother-in-law in the kitchen and taking my place at the large circular table I pro- ceeded to ask her who the strange woman was I had just met on the third floor. She informed me that there wasn’t anyone upstairs. In fact, she and I were the only ones in the house! I described the woman and Mom turned pale and then burst into tears. She, being a native of the old sod and a good Catholic, im- mediately crossed herself and re- plied, “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I thought I was losing my mind I’ve seen her too and have passed so close to her in that hall that one night I actually felt the breeze she created as she flitted by.” By this time I was a little more than shocked myself but I knew I had to go back up to the third floor and take another look. Entering . Pop’s room I found it unoccupied except for my own bewilderment. For the rest of the day Mom and I remained thoughtfully quiet. That evening when my wife re- turned from a day’s shopping and the others had arrived from the city I told my story. Up to this moment. my mother-in-law had not mentioned having seen this vanish- ing woman for fear of being ridi- culed by the rest of the family, or
Page 32
32 being suspected of insanity. How- ever, she was now very much re- lieved to know that I had seen the woman too. And it was now that we learned that no one wanted to sleep on the third floor! Although Mom and I were the only ones who had actually seen the strange third- floor occupant, every one else who had slept up there told of hearing strange noises. Actually, I hesitate to tell some of the other facts related to this story because they are almost too fantastic to be believed. However, since there are those who are sin- cere in their efforts to shed some light on mysteries such as this one an which I found myself involved, I shall try to give all the facts as I remember them, with the hope that they will fit into a new concept of reality sometime, and be of use for more than entertainment. The next time I saw the white lady my wife and I had retired in our bedroom on the third — floor. Minutes after I had put out the light and climbed into bed a woman walked briskly past my side of the bed and: on into the closet. I im- mediately asked my wife if she had seen someone go into the closet, but she said no. However, she sug- gested it was probably her sister, “Margaret, who was occupying the adjoining room. I called out to Margaret, but she answered from her own room and said she had not FATE entered our room. Glancing at our bedroom door I saw that it still was closed as I had left it. Then I turned on the light and checked the closet but found nothing that should not have been there. The room was dark except for a quantity of light coming in through a window toward which the wo- man had been moving. With this light I did have a fairly good view of her from the back. Apparently she had worn the same long, flow- ing robe, but in the semidarkness it had appeared to be dark gray. Her hair was cut short and seemed dark. Her walk had been brisk, but flut- tery. Even after this second meeting with a strange woman who then dis- appeared into thin air the word supernatural did not enter my mind. I was quite confused but, still, not frightened. Whenever I relate the events of that week one question always is asked, “Why weren’t you afraid?” I can only explain that, to begin with, I honestly thought that the woman was flesh and blood. She appeared as life-like as anyone ex- cept perhaps for the extraordinary whiteness of her form. During my first sightings I thought that she was a neighborhood woman who, perhaps mentally disturbed, was roaming about on her own. Even after my mother-in-law told me she had seen her too, I still was con-
Page 33
I SCARED A GHOST vinced that she was earthly and not a ghost as Mom and my sister-in-. _ law claimed. But before the week had passed I could not come up with any other explanation that made sense. On another morning when I awoke and lay enjoying the fact that I did not have to get up and go to work I heard someone run- ning water and banging around in the bathroom located next to my room. After a long period the noise stopped and I got up to take my morning shower. When I finally ar- rived on the first floor I asked my sister-in-law, Madaline, who had been in the bathroom so long. She gave me a queer look and replied that she, Mom and I were the only persons in the house and that I had been upstairs alone all morning. Then she said, “Now do you believe me about the third floor?” On still another morning of this hectic week when I arrived in the kitchen I did not find Mom there as I usually did. She was out in the large back yard hanging washing, I stepped out through the back door and said, “Good morning.” Standing within a few feet of Mom was our mysterious friend. Now I was sure she was a neighbor. I said good morning to her and re- ceived a nod in return. I could see her lips moving but I heard nothing. I was half way down the six steps leading to the yard when Mom 33 started up them toward the kitchen. I remarked that it was a little chilly . for the neighbor to be outside in her negligee. Mom asked me who I was talking about. I nodded to- ward the stranger and replied, “Her! The woman you were talking to.” Mom cried, “Oh, no,” and almost climbed over me trying to get up the remaining stairs and into the kitchen. I grabbed her arm to make her look back at the woman who was just standing, not far from us, watching. My mother-in-law, how- ever, was so frightened that she broke away from me and dashed on into the kitchen crying, “I don’t want to see her. I don’t want to see her.” I doubt if she would have seen her even if she had looked, for she had not seen her when she stood only a few feet from her. : I now started down the steps toward the woman in white. As I approached she moved quickly away from me and into the next yard. She seemed to move mechanically. I did not see her feet at any time but there appeared to be some kind of motion around the extreme lower part of her gown. She wore the same long, white silk gown, her hair was grey or blonde and cut short, At no time during this sight- ing did her hands drop to her side. — She kept them folded at her breast. Not wanting to give chase direct- ly, in case she really was a neighbor,
Page 34
34 I proceeded into the alley and be- gan walking in her general direc- tion. She somehow moved farther from me without actually seeming ‘to move. It was a sort of disappear- ing-reappearing act, until she was standing in the middle of the alley about 50 yards away. She stood facing me, her hands still clasped in front of her. I again walked to- ward her and, as before, she turned and appeared farther away. Finally I turned my back on the unknown, unapproachable lady and returned to the house, shaken, bewildered, and believing that the men in the white coats would be coming soon.’ The last time I saw the lady in white was in the large double room which served as living room and parlor. These two rooms were on the first floor of the house and con- nected by a large archway which made them almost one large room. On this particular night I was watching television with my wife’s Uncle Roy, who then owned the house. Because of the location of the television set our backs were toward the front parlor and the front of the house. The Christmas tree was lighted in the parlor be- hind and to one side of us. No one else was in either room. Something caught my eye in the direction of the Christmas tree and turning my head to look I saw the woman in white standing in front of the tree, smiling and gazing at it as though FATE she were enjoying its beauty. Once again her hands were folded at her breast, and she still wore the floor-length white gown. I had made up my mind the lat- ter part of that week that I would, if I could, grab the ghost the next chance I got. So, without saying a word to Roy, I literally flew from my chair. But, as I had learned in the alley, she was pretty fast her- self. She sped out the side door of the parlor into the front hallway and up the stairs to the second floor. I was very close to her this time but as we neared the top of the stairs I stopped short. I received the shock of my life! Instead of the lady in white there now drifted before me up into the darkness a length of grey, spidery, silky gauzy material. I could no longer see the form of a woman, just this piece of “something” floating up into the darkness of the hall above. When I returned to the living room Roy demanded that I stop the nonsense, because I was scaring everyone out of their wits. If I remember correctly, Eileen and I finished what was left of my vaca- tion visiting other relatives a few miles away. Since January, 1955, I have been in the house possibly two: times, very briefly, but saw nothing of the woman in white. Nor did my mother-in-law ever see her again,
Page 35
68 am sorry to admit, the first time I slept in a haunted house I was badly frightened. My serious interest in psychic matters began shortly after my emigration to the United States in 1921; Because of my journalistic experience in Hungary, I got a job on a Hungarian-language news- paper, Amerikai Magyar Nepszava (American Hungarian People’s Voice). As a reporter and writer of features, I was free to interview anyone famous or interesting enough to make a good story. In this way, I made the acquaintance of Here- ward Carrington, one of the most indefatigable of all psychical re- Searchers. Also, in 1926, I met and interviewed one of Freud’s chief dis- ciples in psychoanalysis, Sandor Ferenczi. These two contacts, of little more than normal interest at the time, were to act as seeds which developed into my entry into psychical re- search in England in the ’30s, my subsequent meeting with Sigmund Freud, his examination of some of my work and, finally, my adoption’ of psychoanalysis as a profession on my return to the United States in 1939. Therefore, my life represents the co-influence of two fields of scien- tific inquiry — psychoanalysis and psychical research. Both fields may benefit by the examination, and a- doption of techniques and princi- oe ee FATE ples of the other. During the span of my two careers the fundamental ideas of spiritualism, psychical re- search, and occultism have been ex- amined from a_psychoanalytical viewpoint. Psychical research, as an organ- ized science, has been in existence since 1882, when- the Society for Psychical Research was founded in London. It is now usually called parapsychology, since the efforts of Dr. J. B. Rhine of Duke Univer- sity and others have shifted the em- phasis of investigators from the field to the laboratory —from qualita- tive to statistical research. How- ever, now as then, it is concerned with the examination of extrasen- sory experiences — that is, percep- tions received through some means other than the five recognized sen- ses. These include: mediumship, haunting, foretelling the future, mental telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis. Psychokinesis in- cludes the so-called “mind-over- matter” experiences, such as: levi- tation, materializations, apports, and poltergeist hauntings. In these instances some physical object or person is alleged to assume shape or to move its position due to the action of a mental or spiritual pow- er. Psychoanalysis, on the other hand, is the analysis of the human mind—the process of revealing

66 Beyond the dolmens the~ stone village becomes merely scattered groupings of rocks. Numerous hol- lows in the ground show where other structures once stood. Frank Glynn has found old records of the city of Lawrence, Mass., which in- dicate that thousands of tons of rock were quarried from the south- eastern section of the site in the 1860’s, for use in building the first municipal sewer. He believes that more than half the original struct- ures may have been thus heedlessly destroyed. The key to the mystery of their builders may have vanished with them. The Sacrificial Stone Goodwin found flush with the ground. Its three-foot unmortared pedestals were buried in earth that must have taken millennia to accumulate around them. Standing atop this incredible rock, the visitor may find his thoughts leaping across the sur- rounding woodlands to the many other vestiges of the dim and mys- terious past that dot New England. FATE What, for instance, is the con- nection —if any — between North Salem and the figure of a 14th Century Scottish knight in armor, his shield blazoned with the armor- ial bearing of the Sinclair family, cut into a hillside ledge, only 15 miles away in Westford, Mass.? Frederick J. Pohl, noted for his work in establishing the locations of the Viking encampments on Cape Cod, believes, together with Frank Glynn, that this carving of the knight is a relic of the shadowy voy- age of Antonio Zeno and Henry Sin- clair, Earl of Orkney, to Nova Scotia and New England in 1398. Had the Sinclair party some knowl- edge of North Salem and, if so, what significance did it have for them? Beyond the Sinclair carving, ~ stretching across the uplands of cen- tral Massachusetts and Connecticut, are various odd groups of weather- ed stones, in need of competent sci- entific examination. These sites may be related to North Salem and share its origin, whatever that is. — DEATH FOUND HIM READY ARCUS R. FORD, 80, went to Cypress Lawn Cemetery in Colma, Calif., where he purchased a headstone for the grave he had waiting for him there. A few days before he had set up a trust fund to pay for his own funeral. As he walked away from the cemetery, he was struck by a ear and killed.

MYSTERIOUS STONE VILLAGE is a lateral shaft with stone steps leading downward, but the shaft is blocked by boulders which it has not yet been possible to remove. It may connect with the large struct- ure similar to the “megarons” of the Etruscans, about 20 feet to the right. In this megaron a handaxe was dug up last summer. Experts declare this axe resembles European Stone Age work rather than the work of primitive American Indians. Ascending from the megaron to the “Y” Cavern and the central plaza of the stone village, one pass- es on the left the cellar-hole of Pat- tee’s house. Looking at the remains of the foundations, obviously con- taining stones taken from the an- cient structures, one again wonders just what led Pattee to build so - close to these mysterious ruins. For, despite his now established standing as a reputable town father, there does seem to have been something about Pattee that set him apart from the common run of men. Through the vague and contradic- tory local traditions concerning him runs a common thread, of his hay- ing been engaged in some activity outside the law or at least not so- cially respectable, for which the “Caves” were useful as a place of concealment. He is variously re- presented to have been a mail rob- ber, a receiver of stolen goods, a smuggler, a distiller or bootlegger of illicit whiskey. It seems more 65 likely he used the “Caves” as a station of the “Underground Rail- way” for escaped slaves being pass- ed along to Canada and freedom by abolitionist groups before the Civil War. North Salem is only a few miles from Haverhill, Mass., which was a hotbed of abolitionist activ- ity. Yet whether or not the strange structures served as a hideout for Negroes on their way to freedom, they already had been there for hundreds of years.* From the Pattee house site the visitor turns to the “Y” Cavern which apparently" was the focal point for some primitive religious service. Across the central plaza from the “Y” Cavern and its adjoining stone sacrificial slab, there rises the Ramp from which the worshippers prob- ably watched the bloody (?) rites. Above the Ramp, there are stone enclosures that may have been pens for the sacrificial animals; and sev- eral dolmens or stone huts, one hay- ing a bull’s head carved on an en- trance panel. * A local tradition claims that Lafayette, on his American tour in 1825, was shown ‘‘Pattee’s Place’ as an Indian antiquity. The writer is attempting to check out this tradition, which if proved, would definitely establish the pre-Colonial origin of the stone village. Lafayette unquestionably did spend two hours in North Salem on June 21, 1825; and a French naval uniform but- ton, of the type worn by members of his staff, was found by Frank Glynn in one of the structures. Yet until it can be shown just what Lafayette did during those two hours, the button by itself is inconclusive,

ae 64. the 16th Century Piri Reis and Oronteus Finaeus maps which show the American coast in astonishingly accurate detail and are said to be based on long-lost: Phoenician orig- inals. These maps, however, are an- other story. Recently, Geoffrey Ashe has brought forward a new theory. He suggests North Salem was a colony of Tartessians from early Spain. Referred to in the Bible as “Tarsh- ish”, these people were worship- pers of Kronos (Saturn) and, ac- cording to certain ancient legends, were driven beyond the ocean by .Greek marauders in the western Mediterranean, about 1000 B.C. Mr. Ashe suggests that the “Y” Cavern. was a. sanctuary for the rites of Kronos. The Tartessians probably were related to the Guanches of the Can- ary Islands who were believed to be the descendants of the Cro-Mag- ~nons of France, the most highly de- veloped and intelligent of Neolithic people. In articles in Fate in Oc- tober, 1958, and June, 1959, Law- rence D. Hills pointed out that the Canary Islanders possessed great double canoes capable of navigating the Atlantic and may have crossed to’America thousands of years ago. He suggests these voyages are re- flected in the Aztec and Mayan leg- ends of bearded white visitors. The Guanches built mortarless, partly subterranean stone houses, similar FATE to those at North Salem. Due to the carelessness of Good- win’s excavations, it is possible that a conclusive answer as to which if any of these theories is correct may never be found. Or perhaps they all may contain some part of the truth, reflecting the presence of various trans-Atlantic cultures over long intervals of time. It does seem certain that the stone village is tre- mendously old. The megaliths are extremely weathered and can easily be picked out of the stone fences where some were incorporated in the 19th Century by Pattee and his neighbors, who doubtless used the site as a handy quarry. Today, from the recently built ~ entrance house with its snack bar and tourist souvenirs the visitor climbs up a winding path spotted with oddly grooved boulders to the hilltop, where the first objects of interest are the two rock-lined, 18- feet-deep wells. Earlier these were thought to have been dug by Pat- tee, now they too are thought to date from remote times. One has been drained and found to contain the concreted rubbish of ages, in- cluding several enormous quartz crystals that mineralogists declare do not occur naturally in New Hampshire. Frank Glynn has sug- gested these crystals were thrown in as votive offerings to the spirit of the well. At the bottom of the drained well

MYSTERIOUS STONE VILLAGE town funds, and boarding paupers until the Poor Farm was founded. The “four husky sons” turned out ’ to have been four daughters; but in actual fact, Pattee would have needed scores of men and teams of oxen to haul into place the mega- liths — some weighing up to 20 tons — that compose the complex. In 1955 the Early Sites Founda- tion, financed by a $2000 grant from Dartmouth College, made a syste- matic excavation of the site under the direction of Dr. Junius Bird and Gary Vescelius of Yale. The results were disappointing. Not a single artifact of earlier than Revo- lutionary times could be found. Vescelius in his report concluded that the Culdees or Vikings could not have occupied the site as it was inconceivably they would not have left some tangible trace of their presence. Three years later, in 1958, Frank Glynn of the Connecticut Arche- ological Society undertook a new series of excavations at North Sal- em. He long had felt that the stone village was very similar to the 3500- year-old Bronze Age megalithic sites in Malta and elsewhere in the Mediterranean area. He believed the Bird-Vescelius diggings had not gone deep enough. Glynn succeeded in finding shards of primitive pot- tery of a clay previously unknown ‘in America, but familiar in the Mediterranean area. He also took 63 measurements that indicated the structures had been built to the an- cient cubit measure, rather than: to Anglo-Saxon feet and inches. (Good- win had pointed out that the latter units had not been used by the builders.) Several English archeologists, in- cluding Geoffrey Ashe of Cam- bridge, were impressed with Glynn’s conclusions and agreed that North Salem could have been built by a seafaring Bronze Age people com- ing across the Atlantic in very early times. Prof. Charles H. Hapgood of Keene Teachers College, N.H., a geologist noted for his theory of popular migration to account for the Ice Ages, who for several years has been tracking down reported Phoenician inscriptions in the Sus- quehanna Valley of Pennsylvania, is currently conducting extensive re- search at North Salem, hoping to relate the site to voyages he be- lieves were made to America by Phoenician and Carthaginian nav- igators around 3,000 years ago. To date nothing has been uncov- ered at North Salem that can be definitely identified as of Phoeni- cian origin; but the bull’s head and double-axes are known to have been favorite motifs of these people, and may indicate a visit by them to the stone village, even if they did not build it. : In support of his contention, Professor Hapgood also points to

62 buried and almost flush with ground level, had been used for storage — presumably of root crops — by Jon- athan Pattee, a farmer who built a house in their midst and lived there from 1826 to 1848. The house burned down in 1855, and for the next 80 years “Pattee’s Caves”, as they had come to be called, were the favorite playground of three . generations of children. Many amazingly contradictory legends and traditions arose to account for the “caves.” Yet, oddly enough, no one in the town — or anywhere else — seems to have realized that they might be of tremendous antiquity. In the early 1930’s Malcolm Pear- son of Sutton, Mass., who now owns the property, became interested in the structures and showed them to William B. Goodwin of Hartford, Conn., a retired insurance executive and amateur archeologist. Unfor- tunately, Goodwin’s introduction to the site seems to have done much to prevent an objective scientific examination of it. , Goodwin rushed into an orgy of digging that destroyed vital soil pro- files from which the age of the structures could have been deter- mined. He convinced himself that the rock habitations, which he rid of their coverings of soil and humus many inches thick, had been erected by early Irish Christian monks, known as “Culdees”, who fled from FATE Ireland in the Ninth and 10th Centuries A.D., before the onslaught of the pagan Vikings. References in old Icelandic sagas indicating that some of these refugee Chris- tians actually were found in Vin- land by the Norse sea rovers, plus the resemblance of the stone vil- lage to the Irish “raths” or partly underground dwellings of the early Middle Ages, lent support to Good- win’s theory. However, this theory was loudly derided by all the professional ar- cheologists, who insisted that the structures were the eccentric work of Jonathan Pattee and his “four husky sons.” Angered by the opposition he met on every side, Goodwin became equally dogmatic and unreasoning in bebalf of his own ideas and in his frantic excavations probably de- stroyed or threw aside many bits of evidence that did not tie in with his Irish theory, but which now would be invaluable in helping to solve the problem of the village’s true origin. Goodwin’s death in 1950 was fol- lowed by a reaction in his favor. Many of his critics came to feel that he might have stumbled on the truth after all; especially after fur- ther research showed that Jonathan Pattee was far from being an ec- centric recluse, but had been a re- spected citizen, serving in many local offices, acting as trustee of

Called the “Mystery Hill Caves”, although there is not a natural cave formation in the lot, the North Salem structures have become a leading New England tourist at- traction. The tourist influx is the result of work done during the past few years by a corporation, in which Robert Stone of Derry, N.H., 1s prominent, to make the site access- ible and safe for visitors. Guides, safety railings, plank causeways and refreshment facilities have been provided. The first known written mention of this strange stone village ap- peared in the Salem town history in 1907. The site is referred to as a “wild and beautiful spot of rough boulders and pines, about which the most weird and fantastic tales might be woven.” The description goes on to state that the structures, most of them at that time deeply

Al Mysterious Mey STONE VILLAGE in North Salem, N. H. 4, Andrew E Rothovius TREWN ACROSS a pine-shad- ed hilltop in the hamlet of North Salem, in the southeastern corner of New Hampshire, are 22 enigmatic stone structures, most of them partially underground. In their entirety they compose the most unyielding and tantalizing ar- cheological puzzle on the North American continent. For three dec- ades, a ceaseless controversy has raged among scholars and _histori- ans over the true origins of this ex- 60 traordinary assemblage, this “half- buried Stonehenge” as it has been aptly termed. Even to those persons who, as I do, live in the vicinity and have seen the ruins many times, there is a sense of fantastic unreality about the site. From the surrounding normal and matter-of-fact Granite State countryside one comes sud- denly upon these architectural ab- errations in rock, centered on the three-chambered “Y” Cavern, sug-

He reported his findings at a meeting of the Bowditch Society, a group of young assistants and in- structors at Harvard Medical School, who met for purposes of professional enlightenment. Dr. Kennedy’s cousin’s husband, Wil- liam James, the famous psycholo- gist, was present and heard this re- port. He, too, was especially inter- ested in psychical research and asked Dr. Kennedy for his material on Bertha Huse so that he might publish ‘it. He :investigated ‘it even more ‘fully :and ‘then .published ithe entire report ititled ““A ‘Case of Clairvoyance,” ‘in ‘the Proceedings of ithe American ‘Society ‘for Psy- chicdl Research, Vol. I, Part 2, 1907, p: 220. In discussing possible explana- tions for this other than clairvoy- ance James wrote that even if Mrs. Titus had been lying about her dream and actually had witnessed the accident instead she still couldn’t have known the exact position of Bertha Huse’s body under the bridge, because the water was too deep and it was hidden by the debris she had described. Another point against this theory, James said, is the odd delay until Thurs- day morning. If Mrs. Titus had seen the accident and knew where the body could be found, yet had a perverse desire to win ‘fame <as ‘a clairvoyant, why should «she ‘have given the diver two free days in which to find the body unaided? ‘Wiliam: James concluded that mone-of «the arguments against clair- svoyance ‘in this case had the least plausibility. “Wty own view of the Titus case, consequently,” he said, “is that it it a decidedly solid document in favor of the admission of a super- normal faculty or seership.” CD ; GRAVE MISSION N NEW DELHI, India, recently Swami Rama Das, a 40-year- old yogi who explained he sought to overcome the threat of war, was buried alive for nine days in a state of trance.

You will only be able to identify her by the rub- ber overshoe sticking out of the ‘debris among the timbers under the bridge,” she told the diver. _. “How can any woman come from four miles away and tell a man where to find this body?” Sullivan muttered to himself. said to Mrs. Titus, “I searched that whole area yesterday. She isn’t there.” “You seached there and there,” Mrs. Titus told him, pointing to certain areas of the water, “but you didn’t search there, and when you do you will find her.” The diver put a ladder into the water and climbed down. It was so dark down below that he couldn’t see a thing, and the water was about 18 feet deep. He moved around slowly, feeling his way, grumbling all the while. But after a few moments those waiting on the bridge saw Bertha’s bonnet float to the surface. Shortly thereafter the diver came up bring- ing the body. He admitted then that he hadn’t looked right there the day before. The brush and debris were so thick he hadn’t believed the girl could be lodged there. In fact, he said he wouldn’t have found her even now if it “Look,” he. FATE hadn’t been for her rubber project- ing from the timber work. For she had been in a deep hole with only her one foot sticking up. Mr. Sullivan also stated for the record that he was more afraid of the woman on the bridge than of the body he retrieved. “Tf you ask me how she knew it, I don’t know,” he said later, “but if you ask me if I believe in it, why I have been convinced against my will. And if I ever have a similar case and can’t locate the body I'll call for Mrs. Titus. She'll find it.” The Granite State Free Press, Lebanon, N.H., on Friday, Novem- ber 11, 1898, published a letter signed by members of the Huse family thanking neighbors and friends for their help. It read, in part, that they felt deep appreci- ation “to Mrs. Titus, who voluntar- ily came to our assistance when all means and efforts had failed, and by the exercise of a, to us, mysteri- ous but we believe God-given power, — designated the place where the body could be found and where it was found.” * * * HE Huse — Titus case was the talk of the community for months. -It came to the attention of a Dr. Harris Kennedy through his brother, who was staying at Lebanon at the time the incident occurred.

He said they ought to hitch up the buggy right away and drive to En- field to see if they could get Mr. Whitney interested. But Titus de- murred; he rode on in to work at the mill. He told his foreman, how- ever, and the foreman told Mr. Whitney. Whitney laughed heartily. “I didn’t take any stock in it at all,” he reported later. “But because there might be people in the village who did, I thought I’d better do something about it.” So he asked Michael J. Sullivan, the diver from the Boston Towboat Company, to go down again and look for Bertha. “As long as I’ve stated that we'll do all we can to recover the body, we ought at least to give this woman a chance,” Whit- ney told the diver. “Most of the villagers here think that girl has taken to the woods,” ‘Sullivan answered. “But my busi- ness is to do anything you say to find the body, and if you say some woman can point out the spot to me, then let her point.” Sullivan’s only reservation was that he didn’t want to be made a fool of by being sent down at a variety of places she might indicate. =k Mr. Whitney agreed that they wouldn’t put up with any foolish- ness; Mrs. Titus had said she would point to one place where the body was, and one point it must be. So they went to the bridge, where a number of townspeople were al- ready standing around waiting. The news travelled fast. Mr. and Mrs. Titus drove up in the buggy. Sullivan put on his diving clothes and met the lady on the bridge. He wasn’t looking forward to another sojourn beneath it. The Shaker Bridge was a straggling structure between an eighth and a quarter of a mile long. Under it the water was - quite deep. It had originally been made by building cribs on the ice which sank when the ice melted and were then joined by timber. Hard- ly any current existed. The water was dark and great quantities of debris and brush had collected in- and about the crib work. It was impossible to see down into the water from above because of this debris as well as the depth. Mrs. Titus walked along the bridge, however, peering down in- tently. She stopped once, saying, “This looks like the spot I saw in my trance.” But after a moment’s hesitation she walked on, coming to another point where she said, “This looks very much more like the place I saw last night.” She stood look- ing over the rail of the bridge into the water for nearly half an hour.

56 for her. George Whitney, the big man of the town, owner of the mill where Bertha’s sister worked, sent to Boston that night for a diver with special underwater equipment. Early Tuesday morning he started dragging the lake. He searched alt day Tuesday and Wednesday to no avail. Now on Wednesday evening a Mrs. George L. Titus of Lebanon, N.H., a village about four and a half miles from Enfield, was dozing after supper. Mrs. Titus’ ‘grand- mother had been a known clairvoy- ant and Mrs. Titus herself had, on occasion, been able to see occur- rences at a distance without use of her normal senses. However, she never had used her unusual cap- abilities for the sake of notoriety, nor had she ever charged for her work, In fact, she actually fought against the trances which usually accompanied these manifestations, for she was often ill for some time afterward. Still, she had no control over them, for they. came on in spite of her efforts to drive them off. Apparently a clairvoyant trance overtook her during her Wednesday evening nap, for she started to mut- ter, mumble, and cry out. Her husband shook her awake, but she complained, “Why did you disturb me? In a moment I should have found the body.” “What body are you talking about?” he asked. FATE “Why, that Huse girl, the one that’s missing over at Enfield,” she said. Then Mrs. Titus told her hus- band, “If I behave peculiarly in my sleep tonight, don’t on any account wake me.” And because he was as eager as she to help find the lost girl, her husband prepared himself with notebook and pencil by his bed. When, during the night, Mr. Ti- tus was aroused by his wife’s screams, he obeyed her instructions. He got up, lit a lamp, and waited until she began to talk; then he wrote down what she said in her sleep. She spoke of Bertha Huse, saying that part way across the Shaker Bridge she had stepped out onto a jutting beam which was covered with white frost. She had slipped and been thrown backwards into the water directly beneath the bridge, and had gotten caught in the timberwork. “You will find her lying in a hole, and you will only be able to see one of her rubbers projecting from the timberwork,” Mrs. Titus said clearly in her sleep. When she awoke she had the en- tire picture of events at the Shaker Bridge clairvoyantly in her mind and she repeated the story in detail to her husband. He told it to other persons dur- ing the morning. W. R. Sunderlin, who kept Titus’ ve

Ap- parently the glance she had of the beautiful October day outside made her decide to take a brisk walk be- fore breakfast. It was 6:00 o’clock on a Monday morning, October 31, 1898 — Halloween — and she had spoken of finding a pumpkin in the fields to make a grinning jack- o’-lantern for her younger brothers and sisters. Dressing quietly, so as not to awaken her family, she put on her coat, bonnet, and overshoes and slipped out of the house — for- ever. The young girl was not missed for several hours. Her mother knew she had not been feeling well and thought she was sleeping late. How- ever, when she didn’t come down &, Susy Smith 55 ee; a a by 10:00 o’clock it was noticed that her wraps were missing and a search for her was begun. Several people said they had passed her walking toward nearby Lake Mascoma. The blacksmith’s wife said that from her window she had glimpsed a woman on the Shaker Bridge over the lake about 6:30 A.M. She was not in a posi- tion to see who it was, she said, and she had not continued watching long enough to see her leave the bridge. ‘ By Monday evening Bertha’s family was frantic. In such a small community as her Enfield, N.H., home there were few places where she could have hid or been hidden unless she was lost in the forests or drowned in thelake.

54 Over the telephone Dr. Walton was frankly skeptical. “Hither you’ve all got head noises or some- ‘body is tick-tacking your house. Look around for wires?” “T tell you it’s nothing of the kind. It started down at the cabin. They couldn’t tick-tack both places. I want you to get out here and give Dorothy something to quiet her.” By the time the doctor arrived it was dark and the Merens’ house was full of curious neighbors. Some of them had heard the ominous sounds, too, and their excited chat- ter was deafening. Dr. Walton ordered out all the neighbors and asked Dorothy, ‘Don’t you think you just might be pounding your chest yourself without realizing it?” “No, no, no! I didn’t! I didn’t!”, she wailed. “Make it stop!” The doctor said; “All right. Vl give you some medicine and you'll go to sleep and forget it.” He gave her a hypodermic and then put out the light. Seating himself beside the bed, he held his hands just above the girl’s chest so that he would know if she made any movement. Almost at once the sounds began again. Dr. Walton was astonished. He knew there had been no move- ment at all. Dorothy cried out at first, but under the influence of the hypo she gradually became calm and soon was asleep. FATE Dr. Walton turned on the light again and they all watched her. After a few minutes she began to talk, but it was not Dorothy’s voice; it was the voice of her moth- er who had died eight years earlier. Mr. Merens looked frightened. He stared at the others. “That’s Katy’s voice. That’s Katy,” he repeated. They heard the words distinctly. “TDorothy, tell your father that he and Tom must pay their debts. They must pay their debts.” Then the girl was quiet. Dorothy now slept peacefully the night through, but there was much whispering and shaking of heads among the neighbors. One woman said, “It must be that Dorothy is a medium and just didn’t realize it. I guess poor Katy was trying all the time to get the message to her and this was the only way. Mavbe her spirit will rest now.” Early the next morning the neighbors saw Mr. Merens and Tom driving their heavily loaded hay wagons toward Penelope, Tex. They knew that the men were tak- ing the hay down to pay their debts at the stores and the lumber yard. Dorothy and the family never heard those hollow frightening sounds again. Perhaps, as the neighbor had said, Katy Merens’ troubled spirit was now at rest.— Dilley, Tex. ee

TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES “Dear God, please don’t let it bother us,”—my words hung in the air. I locked the doors and put up all windows tight. While I was do- ing this the “thing” abruptly turned and zoomed down over the moun- tain side behind the trees and out of sight at high speed. My prayers were answered. I sat back and looked at my husband. I was almost relaxed. My husband’s eyes met mine. He knew, too. There were no words for the feeling that we had. Our little dog stretched and went back to sleep. We were still somewhat shaken days afterward. I wrote to Wash- ington and explained our experience. We received a cryptic reply stating that there had been a weather bal- loon in that vicinity on that date. We knew better. “It” was some- thing far removed from a weather balloon. But what? We’ve asked ourselves that question many times since.—Clarksburg, W. Va. A THROBBING MESSAGE By Ella Marie Farmer OMING HOME from school on the evening of December 20, 1915, 13-year-old Dorothy Merens stopped at the cabin where her fa- ther’s Negro tenants lived. While she was there, visiting, they all suddenly heard a frightening sound that seemed to come from Doro- thy’s head. It was a deep, dull sound, as of something very heavy 53 beating on flesh. Thud! Thud! Thud! The Negroes fled screaming from the cabin and Dorothy ran for home. She began calling as she neared the house and her step- mother came to the door. For sev- eral minutes Dorothy could only cry and sob while Mrs. Merens asked her over and over what was wrong. When Dorothy finally managed to tell what she had heard down at the cabin her stepmother said, “That’s impossible. You have lost your mind. Go lie down. I’m going down to the barn to get your fa- ther and Tom. But she had barely gotten Doro- thy down on the bed when the dreadful sound came again from right over her pillow. Mrs. Merens heard it herself, only too plainly. Thud! Thud! Thud! She ran screaming from the house, calling Mr. Merens as she ran. He rushed to meet her and when she gasped out the story he said, as Mrs. Mer- ens herself had said only minutes before, “You have lost your mind.” He rushed to the house where he found the terrified Dorothy sobbing wildly. He tried in vain to pacify her. And presently Mr.’ Merens himself heard that deep, hollow sound from over Dorothy’s head. Thud! Thud! Thud! He was astounded. Now He was hear- ing things. As Dorothy was hys- terical he called Dr. Walton.

52 fee and sandwiches. We continued ‘on our way relaxed and refreshed. The traffic was thinning out rap- idly. By 2:30 A.M. the highway was virtually ours alone. To keep alert, I had the. ther- mos filled with coffee at the diner and we had a sip at intervals. We were starting up the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia as I lit a cig- arette and watched the winding toad. An occasional rabbit darted across our path. The giant oaks and weeping willows were silhouetted against the starry sky, making an inspiring profile drawing. Our little dog was asleep on a cushion between us. The drone of the car motor and the country sounds of cicadas and crickets added to the peaceful feel- ing prevalent in the car. My thoughts were on our delightful fortnight vacation. Midway up the Blue Ridge mountains I noticed a glowing ball far off to our left through the trees. “What is that, dear? Is it the moon?”, I asked my husband. He didn’t answer immediately and I turned to face him. “Um-m, that’s strange, Alyce, the moon is in back of-us.” He was looking through the rear-view mir- ror. Suddenly I was filled with a foreboding I never had felt before. The “thing” was coming closer, ’ moving very slowly, gliding close to the earth. I stared, fascinated. It was brilliant orange, like a sun. FATE Paul stepped on the accelerator. How I wished we would meet an- other automobile or see a house, gasoline station, anything! The highway and countryside were des- olate. I.fumbled for the Thermos. I took a swallow and felt the hot coffee light a path down, but I was shivering. I handed the thermos to Paul. “No, dear, I have to watch the road.” He seemed to be pre- occupied with something other than his driving. His mouth was set. Kiki, our dog, made a little noise, looking at Paul, then at me and then up at the ceiling of the car. The “thing” was drifting very close now, right on a path toward us. My lips were dry. I took another sip of coffee, corked the bottle and dropped it on the floor. I could feel my pulse quicken. We said nothing. T looked at my watch. It was just past 3:00 A.M. Suddenly a thought came to me —these are our visitors from an- other planet! My mind kept flip- ping back to something I had read months previously about automo- bile motors stalling out through the southwest desert country because of unseen forces! I thought of how many times I had wished for an experience! Now I prayed silently that whatever it was would leave us alone. The next few minutes were a progression from horror to numb- ness. “It”? was hovering by the road how.

TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES she had been talking in her sleep, -I went back to bed. The next morning I was prepared for another of her “dream”’ stories, but it was not forthcoming. Puz- zled, I concluded that she retained no memory of the nocturnal inci- dent and, fearful lest I alarm her, I made no mention of it. That week-end we spent several days with friends out of town. The afternoon following our return home, while trimming shrubbery which grew up close to the house, I discovered a hole about the size of a half-dollar had been cut in one of the window screens, just above the hook which fastened it from the inside. In the house, there were chisel marks around a small chifferobe drawer, usually kept locked, which had been forced open. It contained only personal papers and an old _watch—the watch was gone. Our home had been broken into during our absence then, just three days after my wife’s “revelation,” through the very window she had indicated! She still had no recollection of her strange actions that night. Did some sort of “thought transference” take place between her and the in- truder as he planned his deed? Or did some unknown force exert its power on her subconscious mind to warn of an impending occurrence? I can only speculate on the devi- 51 ous, unexplored workings of the human mind.—Memphis, Tenn. MOUNTAIN VISION By Alyce Eskew Y HUSBAND AND I were returning from a restful, much deserved vacation by the sea. It was September 17, 1960. We had left Nags Head, N. C., Saturday at 5:00 P.M., after having decided — to stretch our vacation to the last moment. Paul was due at work Monday morning. We never had driven all night before but we anticipated a quiet, uneventful trip with the highway free of traffic. It was a long drive, 485 miles back to our home in the hills, Clarksburg, W. Va. The night was cool and clear with a sky full of myriad stars. The hours passed. At midnight we stopped at a little diner on the parkway and had cof- ALYCE ESKEW

50 two or three tries I determinedly shoved with every ounce of strength I could muster and, as if this had ‘been a knockout punch to the force against me, I seemed to literally ooze into the body on the floor and found I was sitting bolt upright. I was drenched in a cold sweat and gasping for breath. Needless to say, when I was able to do so I went to -my room, locked the door and until morning slept the sleep of the weary. For nearly: 30 years this experi- ence has remained as vivid to me as if it had occurred only last night. Nightmare? Positively no! “I fully believe that had I allowed “my floating self freedom that night ~only a lifeless “thing” would have been found on the floor next day — Scottsdale, Ariz. THE PROWLER CAME By Vincent Barba Y WIFE OFTEN told me about certain dreams of hers which apparently “came true,” but I was skeptical and attributed them to coincidence or, at best, a tailoring of the occurrence to fit the dream. Then an incident took . place which greatly increased my re- spect for her claims. We had retired early on that particular August night in 1947 and J slept soundly until something, perhaps my wife turning over or shifting position, awakened me. FATE Pale light from a three-quarter moon filtered into the room, so I could see dimly. I looked around drowsily, and was settling down to go back to sleep when suddenly my wife spoke. “Someone’s trying to break in,” she said. z Her voice sounded strange, rath- er thick, and she spoke in a mono- tone. Instantly alert, I leaned over her and noted with surprise that her eyes were closed and her breath- ing was deep and rhythmical. She remained moitionless, making no attempt to sit up. To all outward appearances she was asleep; how- ever, I have since observed people in hypnotic trance and I know now her attitude and actions at that time very closely resembled those of a person in that state. “Where?” J asked. Stiffly, almost mechanically, she raised her left arm without bend- ing the elbow, index finger ex- tended, and pointed to a window at the foot’of the bed. In that. same odd, unemotional voice she said, “At that window.” ‘Still lying on her back, eyes closed, she did not stir or raise her head. Listening intently, I heard only her deep, regular breathing. Quietly I slid off the bed and looked out the window she had in- dicated. I saw nothing. A check of the rest of the house showed ev- erything to be in order. Deciding

THE SLENDER THREAD By Franklin Boaz cc IS CONTENDED by some that the soul is held within the physical body by a very slender thread. All the factors of one of my teen-age experiences point to the truth of such a line of thought. _ Ona sultry July night in 1933, in Nashville, Tenn., when suffering humanity was seeking relief on porches, lawns and in city parks, I decided to sleep on the floor of our living room, a few feet from the open front door. Stretched out com- fortably, my eyes drooped shut and immediately I had a strong feeling of having risen a bit off my bed. Naturally, I snapped awake. Then, with the daring of youth, I closed my eyes tightly once again and as the rising sensation resumed I dis- covered it was impossible to open them. At the ceiling my body turned face down and what a strange thing I saw! The room was well illumin- ated by moonlight and everything was clearly discernible. I still re- posed on my pallet. Every piece of furniture, the pictures on the wall were as they should bé. At first I was spellbound, then to my horror I discovered I was ‘slowly drifting toward the open 49 doorway. It became alarmingly ap- parent that I was floating down to the top of the door and headed for the great outdoors. With great ef- fort I caught the wall above and shoved backwards a few inches but ~ instantly went forward again. After 4 FRANKLIN BOAZ

48 The strictest inquiry by high Church authorities followed, of course. But the conclusion reached was the same as that reached by the Superior and the Bishop: that a young nun, dead for 12 years, had appeared, solid, speaking, holding - money, hundreds of miles from the place where she had lived and died; that, through “bi-location” she had taken one of the living with her to a tower room and somehow returned her to her cell; that money, more © FATE than enough to pay the commun- ity’s debt, had been brought twice visibly by the apparition and regu- larly, by intangible means, for a year, and that the final offering smelled of fresh roses, in an Italian January. But—whose money was it? And whence and how far had it come, unseen, unmissed? In the 52 years since the mirac- ulous eyent no explanation has been forthcoming. _—_——— TTS THE GHOST OF WHALEY HOUSE N YSTERIOUS footsteps and windows unaccount- ably flying open apparently have convinced Mrs. James E. Reading, Sr., that a ghost roams historic Whaley House in San Diego, Calif. Mrs, Reading, who manages the 106-year-old-house for the San Diego Historical Shrine Foun- dation, told Dee Heywood of the San Diego Evening Tribune that she considers the ghost a nuisance. After she showed some visitors around the house re- cently, she stated, “there was so much noise from above it was embarrassing. I excused myself to see what was hap- pening. Nobody was there.” Mrs. Reading related that she first heard -the ghost about a year previously. As she and an assistant, Bert L. Shankland, were working in the downstairs parlor, they distinctly heard footsteps above them. ‘‘When we rushed upstairs to investi- gate,” she said, ‘we were shock- ed to find no one there.” According to Mrs. Reading, the ghost confines its noises to the master bedroom and to the stairs, which are the only original parts of the restored house. The noises of footsteps and windows opening are made at odd hours. Oceasionally, Mrs. Reading reported, she had received phone calls from the night patrolman informing her that the opening of a window in the master bed- room has set off a burglar alarm. She had three four-inch bolts installed on the windows, but not even these ended the annoyances. She said, “One morning, very recently, I opened the shutters: in the master bedroom and carefully locked the windows and bolted them. Within a few minutes one window had opened —there was no other human around.” =i

THE SAINT WHO FILLED THE CASH BOX 47 explain the vision’s strange words, “My way is sure.” For the expres- sion, “to follow a way” is not -used in this sense in Italian. Be- fore her death, Mgr. Giannattasio explained, St. Therese had evolved her own way to God—the path of simple, childlike trust, obedience, love. She had taught her “little way for little souls” to her novices and assured them that if, after death, she found her teaching in error, she would return to correct ‘ it. Now the message, spoken evi- dently by a being who was thinking in French, using a French idiom (and speaking what tongue, al- though it was understood by an Italian?) would go home to Lisieux, would go to all the world. The starving nuns began to eat better and regularly. Daily the sum in the cash-box was checked and noted on the ledger. Invariably week by week throughout 1910, there were from 25 to 30 lire more, than there should have been. On the night of August 6 the young French nun appeared again—with a 100-lire note. The baffled Bishop decided on a last test. He could not doubt the Mother Superior’s word—why should he? He had known the com- munity’s plight. He also knew that, in so strictly cloistered an order, nobody could slip into the convent, pass the Sister at the door, pass the cells on the second floor, reach the tower-room where the box was, and unlock it with the key the Su- perior carried in order to place a large sum of money within. Private- ly Mer. Giannattasio took a 500- lire bill of his own, added his visit- ing card, and placed both in an un- sealed envelope on which he had written, ““My way is sure, I was not mistaken.” He put the unsealed envelope into a larger, lined enve- lope of heavy paper and secured the flap with wax, stamping it with his signet ring. Then, with no explana- tion, no revelation of its contents, he had the Mother Superior place it in the cash box, adding the orders, both verbal and written, that she not touch nor open it until the first anniversary of the miracle, January 16, 1911. Before that date the- Superior, opening the box to pay debts with the loose money within, noted that the envelope seemed thicker. The Bishop appeared promptly on the 16th and had her unlock the | cash-box. She presented the enve- lope, its seal intact, to Monsignor. He told her to break the seal. As she did so his eyes never left her for a moment. She handed him the inner envelope and the Bishop him- self withdrew its contents. There was his 500-lire bill—and with it four more, two for 100 lire, two for 50 each. And they smelled of roses, the flower Therese had so loved, back in Lisieux.

46 in the annals of spirit-phenomena, one finds stories of people seen, felt and spoken to miles away from where their bodies lay, either dying or simply asleep. (Or sometimes awake, though this is rarer.) Now the Mother Superior found herself walking down the corridor, unheard, unseen, apparently; by Sisters in adjoining cells who must, some of them, have been wakeful through hunger. The Italian nun noticed, for the. first time, that a soft light seemed to come from the veil and garments of her com- panion. They reached the tower room where the cash-box was kept. There, the Mother Superior was told to unlock it, and place the bank-notes inside. She did so and noticed the ominous paper that lay within—the community’s record of its debt. Beside it was a scattered coin or two—the equivalent of sev- en American cents. The Superior gazed joyfully at the young Car- melite and thought she recognized her. Who could it be but St. Ter- esa of Avila, foundress of the or- der, a woman noted for her energy and resource? “Qh, my holy Mother!” began the Superior, and fell on her knees. But a gentle, solid hand raised her to her feet, and soft lips kissed her. “No, I’m not your mother. I am the servant of God, Therese of Lisieux.” The visitor laid her hand FATE on the Superior’s veil, as though arranging it. Then she moved away. “Wait!” cried. the Superior, “You'll lose your way!” For the old building was full of strange turns and steps. The visitor turned and smiled. “No, no, my way is sute and I was not mistaken in following it!” Strange words, their’ explana- tion unknown in a small Italian convent, but forming part of the supernatural background of the in- cident. Light and visitor disap- peared. The Superior found herself back in her cell, where she stayed, bewildered and faint, until time for Mass. In chapel everyone noticed her altered looks. The two sacristines, Sisters with the exacting duty of preparing the altar, of laundering and polishing its appointments, in- sisted that the Superior tell them what was wrong. Finally she said she had had a vivid, disturbing dream and related it to them. They insisted that she open the cash-box immediately and, despite her pro- tests that one should not believe in dreams, she opened the box before them. There lay a roll of bills, 10 50-lire notes, issued by the Bank of Naples! Promptly, Mgr. Giannattasio, Bishop of Nardo, near Gallipoli, was informed. He came and saw the money. He was able, also to

THE SAINT WHO FILLED THE CASH BOX 45 supernatural and always beautiful acts brought about the Church’s ‘recognition of her sainthood in a far shorter time than is usually the case. Usually, when a Carmelite dies, a formal notice of her life, deeds and character is sent to every convent of the order. But when young blonde Therese died, her book, written casually in an ordinary school composition folder and titled Story of a Soul (Histoire d’un Ame), was printed and sent, in- stead. None read the beautiful ac- count more avidly than the poverty- stricken nuns of the Carmel in Gal- lipoli, a small town on the heel of Italy’s “boot.” By January of 1910, ABS Galli- poli Sisters were reduced to two- and-a-half pounds of bread per week, with occasionally other scan- ty food. Sometimes there was noth- ing to eat and the sisters prayed through their meal-time in their chapel. By mid-January the Mother Superior opened the community’s cash-box with the only existing key to its special lock and discovered just seven cents to pay a debt of nearly $60.00—no small sum in Southern Italy. She told the Sisters and they began to pray. They prayed to the French saint, Sister in their own order, whose book (now a perennial best-seller in many languages) they had read. Before her death, Therese had said, “I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth.” Now was time for her to prove it. On the night of January 16, 1910, the exhausted, worried Mother Su- perior lay awake until about 3:00 A.M. Then she fell into a deep sleep. She was awakened by a gentle hand tucking the covers about her thin shoulders. “Don’t do that!” muttered the nun, her eyes still shut. “Moving the covers makes me cold.” “No,” replied a gentle, unknown voice, “I’m doing you good.” : The Mother Superior’s eyes sprang open. Bending over her was a young nun in Carmelite habit who continued to arrange the “blankets. “Listen,” the visitor continued. “God uses the inhabitants of Heav- en, as of Earth, to help His sery- ants. Here are 500 lire to pay your community’s debts.” She was holding out a sheaf of. bank-notes. The Mother Superior sat up and rubbed her eyes. “But ... But we owe only 300.” “Well,” smiled the unknown, “there will be some left over. But you cannot keep this money in your cell. Come with me...” Then she added this strange statement: “Bi-location will help us.” “Bi-location” is being in two places at once. The phenomenon is not unknown, nor does it happen only to the righteous. Repeatedly,

SAINT who filled the ai bos The poverty-stricken nuns were on the verge of starvation. Then came a miraculous rescuer in the night. MONG THE THOUSANDS of miraculous stories involving the saints perhaps none is more diffi- cult to explain than the well-docu- mented account of an apparition that filled an almost-empty cash- box in the starving community of Carmelite nuns at Gallipoli, Italy. The account lies in its original French before me. I have never seen it in English. But I Zave seen the Stained-glass window depicting the miracle in the chapel of the Carmel in Lisieux, France. In 1910, when the strange events By Marguerite ‘Shecdaa began, St. Therese of Lisieux had not been formally called a saint at all. She had died in 1897 at the age of 24, having entered the order at 15. She was not canonized until 1925. But “The Little Flower”, as the millions who love her call her, was already known to every Car- melite convent in the world, and al- ready her help was being invoked by the faithful everywhere. She was scarcely dead when the strange events began, first in France, later as far away as Africa. Amply at- tested, often by many witnesses, the

Given the facts of individual and social inertia, can we do what has to be done within 43 the brief and dwindling span which modern history (the history of headlong technological and demo- graphic change, with all their social consequences) allows us? On the international level an ending of some at least of of our collective sorrows is feasible. How likely is it? All the nations and their rulers are called. Before it is too late, will they choose to be chosen? Se CRACKING THE EW GAINS in deciphering : the chemical code of in- heritance were reported re- cently by leading scientists in the field at a symposium at the University of Indiana. Research already has found that genes, the units of inheritance, are made of chain-like molecules called nucleic acids, and that nucleic acids direct the link- age of amino acids into other molecular-chains to form pro- teins. This process determines the form and function of all living cells and hence of all living or- ganisms. The key to the genetic code is in the arrangement of four kinds of chemical units, called nitrogenous bases, along the nucleic acid molecules. The sequence of these bases deter- mines the sequence of amino acids in proteins, and there is an undetermined number of GENETIC CODE bases for each amino acid. The problem of researchers has been to learn which grouping. of bases determines which amino acid. Dr. Marshall W. Nirenberg and Dr. J. Heinrich Matthaei of the National Institute of Health have determined the nu- celic acid coding for the first amino acid. They reported mak- ing a small synthetic nucleic acid that had only one kind of base in it. This nucleic produced a protein-like molecule that con- tained only one kind of amino acid. : Dr. Severo Ochoa of New York University announced that he and his associates had de- termined the coding for 19 of the 20 known amino acids. Oth- er researchers reported having found indications that the code may be universal throughout nature.

In the present historical con- text, in the prevailing ideological climate, could they be accepted? And though it is obviously true that, in Dr. Baumgarten-Tramers words, there exists an urgent Not- wendigkeit der Bildung. einer Psy- chologie fur Politiker, is it probable that the few scores of politicians, generals and technologists, at whose mercy the remaining 29,000 million of the human race now find them- selves, will consent to go to school again and learn that psychology for statesmen which it is so indispens- ably necessary to formulate and teach? These few enormously pow- erful men, at whose mercy the whole human race now lies, are themselves the hypnotized prison- ers of political and philosophical traditions which, being grounded in nationalistic idolatry and ideologi- cal dogmatism, have in the past in- variably led to war. The neurotic individual is a person who responds to the chal- lenges of the present in terms of the obsessively remembered past. In so far as their policies are dic- FATE tated-by old erroneous notions fos- ‘silized--into dogmas, all. societies: exhibit the symptoms of collective neurosis, and the few powerful men in whose clutch (like Gulliver in the paw of the Brobdingnagian monkey) mankind now inwpotently writhes, are themselves the victims of their society’s alienation from present reality. In earlier times, when the rate of technological and demographic change was slow, societies could afford the luxury of their collective neuroses. Today political. behavior dictated by obsessive memories of the past (in other words, by vener- able traditions that have lost their point, and by old, silly or actually diabolic notions raised to the level of first principles and canonized as dogmas) is apt to be fatally inap- propriate. And, alas, the cure for this fatal inappropriateness of current politi- cal behavior cannot be found m applied psychology alone. The problem is exceedingly complex and, if it is ever to be solved, it must be attacked simultaneously on many fronts—on the semantic front (for it is an affair of misused language and unexamined beliefs) ; on the organizational front (for it involves the brute fact of power and the problems of its control); on the philosophical front (for our political behavior is influenced to some extent by our view of human

Reading Meister Eckhart, for ex- ample, or listening, as we did at Gstaad,»to Krishnamurti, one is forced to recognize that-“spiritual” ‘can be mot juste. “I show you sor- row and the ending of sorrow.” aera LL THE GREAT masters of the spiritual life (that word again!) have been at once pro- foundly pessimistic and almost in- finitely optimistic. Jf certain con- ditions are fulfilled, human beings may cease to behave as the pa- thetic or deplorable creatures they mistakenly think they are and be what in fact they always have been, if they had only given themselves a chance of knowing it — enlightened, liberated, ‘‘godded in God.” But that more than a very few of us will ever fulfill those conditions is overwhelmingly, improbable. Many are called, but very few are chosen; for very few ever choose to be chosen, The ending of sorrow is feasible; but the continuance of sorrow is certain. All that the masters of the spiritual life can do is to remind us of who in fact we are and of the means whereby we may come to the recognition of our identity — medi- tation in the sense of complete and inclusive awareness at every instant, and the corollaries of such medita- tion, right being and, from right being, spontaneous right action. From France, Italy and Switz- erland, and from far-out E.S.P., farther-out visionary experience and farthest-out enlightenment, we flew to Copenhagen and the Inter- national Congress of Applied Psy- chology. What zs Applied Psychol- ogy? Or should one put it the other way round and ask what is not Ap- plied Psychology? Answer: pre- cious little, at least in regard to individual behavior on the (sta- tistically speaking) normal level. This capacious subject was dis- cussed at Copenhagen by 1,300 del- egates, who listened to two or three hundred papers on every conceiv- able subject from “Figure Drawing as an Expression of Self-Esteem”’ to “Social Research in the Arctic.” The world is so full of a number of things, and universities are so full of a number of psychologists, that I cannot possibly do justice to all that was read and spoken at Copenhagen. I shall therefore con- fine myself to the most important question of all, and the one to which, alas, the answers proposed were the least satisfactory. Can psychology contribute to the easing of international tensions, the solu- tion of conflicts, the maintenance of peace? In the lecture with which Pro- fessor Osgood opened the Congress, 1

That beer (together with tea, cof- fee, aspirin, vitamins and a score of psychic energizers and tranquil- lizers) should do “more than Milton can/To justify God’s ways to man” - is a plain fact of observation and experience—a fact which some people find depressing and humil- iating, others consolatory and rath- er amusing. To what extent are our thoughts, beliefs and actions the products of our inherited physique and temperament, and of the fluc- tuations, in response to internal and external events of our body - chem- istry? Just how valid is a philoso- phy based upon a state of mind (say the conviction of sin) which -can be radically changed by the prick of a needle or a small daily ‘dose of Ritolin? And what about those experiences induced by Dr. Hofmann’s physically harmless mind-changers — experiences of a world transfigured into unimagi- nable loveliness, charged with in- trinsic significance, and manifest- ing, in spite of pain and death, an essential and (there is no other word) divine All-Rightness? Yes, what about them? Opinions differ. Spas 1 OR MOST OF those to whom the experiences have been vouchsafed, their value is self-evi- FATE dent. By Dr. Zaehner, the author of “Mysticism Sacred and Profane,” their deliberate induction is regard- ed as immoral. To which his col- league, Professor Price retorts in effect, “Speak for yourself!” Price would agree with William James that, if one can achieve the feat without harming oneself or others, the induction of unusual states of consciousness is salutary and enlightening. And long ago, de- fending William James against those who had blamed him for ex- perimenting with nitrous oxide, Bergson pointed out-that the chem- ical was not the cause of James’s remarkable metaphysical experi- ences, merely their occasion. The same experiences might have been induced by purely psychological means, by the mortifications and exercises used by the mystics and visionaries of every religious tradi- tion, by any method, indeed, cap- able of altering states of mind or changing body chemistry in such a way as to lower the barrier separ- ating the world fabricated by our everyday, biologically useful and socially conditioned perceptions, thoughts and feelings from the strange and yet subjectively (and perhaps even objectively) no less - real worlds revealed when the mode of consciousness has been changed from the utilitarian to the ERR: tic or eae Spiritual . . .

THE BORDERLANDS OF THE MIND 39 To the Chinese, on the contrary, it may be perfectly good sense. In the normally healthy organism, they maintained, there is a continu- ous circulation of energy. Illness is at once a cause and a result of a derangement of this circulation. Vital organs may suffer from a de- . ficiency or a disturbing excess of the life-force. Acupuncture re-di- rects and normalizes the flow of energy. This is possible because, as a matter of empirical fact, the limbs, trunk and head are lined with in- visible “meridians,” related in some . way to the various organs of the body. On these meridians are lo- cated specially sensitive points. A meedle inserted at one of these points will affect the functioning of the organ related to the meridian on which the point lies. By prick- ing at a number of judiciously se- lected points the skilled acupunc- turist re-establishes the normal circulation of energy and brings the patient back to health. Once again we are tempted to shrug our shoulders and say that it .makes no sense. But then, reading the proceedings of the most recent Congress of Acupuncture, we learn that experimenters have been able, by means of delicate electrical measuring instruments, to trace the course of the Chinese meridians, and that when a stragetic point is pricked with a needle relatively large changes of electrical state can be recorded. So perhaps, after all, the odd appearances of acupuncture will end by being saved even by our theories. Meanwhile the fact remains that there are pathological symptoms on which the old Chinese methods work very well. Among these pathologi- cal symptoms (and this in our pres- ent context, is particularly inter- esting) are various undesirable mental states—certain kinds of de- pression and anxiety, for example— which, being presumably related to organic derangements, disappear as soon as the normal circulation of energy is restored, Results which several years on the analyst’s couch have failed to produce may be ob- | tained, in some cases, by two or three pricks with a silver needle. And this brings me to our con- versation in the suburbs of Zurich, with Dr. and Mrs. Albert Hofmann. We human beings, in Andrew Mar- vell’s phrase, are “rational amphi- bii,” inhabiting simultaneously a soul-world and a world of first-or- der experience, a world of abstract notions and generalizations and a world of unique events. Dr. Hof- mann is an eminent chemist, whose most recent and spectacular work has been done in that strange bor- derland between two worlds, where the tiniest of biochemical changes will produce enormous and revolu- tionary changes in the mind.

38 even in the most respectable scien- tific circles. In terms of currently accepted theories the facts of para- psychology “make no sense.” What is to be done? Should we shut our eyes to them in the hope that, if we don’t look at them, they will go away and leave us in peace? Or should we accept them? Accept them for the time being as inexplicable anomalies, while do- ing our best to modify current the- ories in such a way that they will “save the appearances”—all the appearances, including those that now seem to be outside the pale of explanation. The Society for Psy- chical Research was founded in 1882, and those who have chosen the second of these two possible ap- proaches to psi-phenomena are still hopefully waiting for a theory cap- able of saving all the appearances, from the atomic to the extra-sen- sory. From William James to C. D. Broad and H. H. Price in our own day, a succession of psi-minded philosophers have hinted at ways in which all the appearances might be saved, But their suggestions have never been raised to the level of a testable theory, and the facts of parapsychology remain, after 80 years of systematic study, as odd and inexplicable as ever. From Saint Paul and the ex- tremely anomalous world of para- psychology I journeyed to Turin, where my wife and I spent a mem- 4 FATE orable evening talking with Dr. Quaglia Senta about his experiences in the still rather anomalous \uni- verse of acupuncture. The Jesuit missionaries were the first Europe- ans to report on this curious branch of Chinese medicine. But it was not until 1928 that a full and accurate account of acupuncture reached the West. In that year Soulié de Morant returned from China and published his first treatise on the subject. 36 ok DAY SEVERAL hundreds of European doctors (and one lone English physician) combine the sci- ‘ence and art of Western medicine with the ancient science and art of Chinese acupuncture. International Congresses of Acupuncture are now convened (the last was at the Uni- versity of Clermont Ferrand), and it is reported that Soviet doctors are now taking a lively interest in the subject. That a needle stuck into the out- side surface of the leg a little below the knee should affect the function- ing of the liver is obviously incre- dible. If our primary concern is to save, not the appearances, but our theory, we shall be tempted to ig- nore the empirically established facts and to dismiss the claims of the acupuncturists as mere super- stition and hocus-pocus. It can’t be true because, within our present frame of reference, it makes no sense. :

These reports of research in Switz- erland and America were preceded by the work carried out in Russia 25 years ago, but only recently pub- lished, openly discussed and resumed. The purpose of the Soviet re- search was to find out whether E.S.P. is a fact and, if it is, whether it can be explained in terms: of physics, as a product of some kind of electromagnetic radiation. En- closed in leaden capsules and im- mersed in baths of mercury, so that no radiation could possibly. reach them, sensitive subjects turned in significantly good performances. The experimenters were forced to conclude—and in the days of Sta- lin the conclusion was extremely embarrassing—that telepathy oc- curs and is not a form of radio, What does one do about data that do not suffer themselves to be explained in terms of currently ac- cepted theory? In all too many cases, as William James pointed out two generations ago, one sticks to one’s theory and does one’s best to ignore the disturbing data. Herbert Spencer’s idea of a tragedy (in T. H. Huxley’s words) was a beautiful generalization murdered by an ugly fact. Spencer’s scholastic soul goes marching along, and the tendency to prefer the high, hallowed gener- alization to the odd, low, presump- tuous datum is still to be met with

In miles and minutes the distances between my various ports of call were very small; but by any men- tal measure they were enormous. Between post-Freudian psychother- apy and pre-Hippocratic Chinese acupuncture a great gulf is fixed. Telepathy seems to have nothing to do with industrial psychology and the measurement of I.Qs. Vi- sionary experience induced by Dr. Hofmann’s mind-changing synthe- tics is far indeed from the kind of thinking that resulted in a paper on “The Effect of Meprobamate and Dextre-Amphetamine Sulphate on the Reaction Times of Normal Non-Hospitalized Subjects to Neu- tral and Taboo Words.” And from all these it is a long, long way to that ultimate ‘freedom from the known,” about which Krishnamurti _ talks.

I SCARED A GHOST even though she continued to live in the house until December, 1957. My sister-in-law tells of going to the bathroom one night and as she _walked down the well lighted, third floor she came into physical con- tact with someone she could not see. She was actually pushed to one side, but saw no one. It was after this experience that she re- fused to sleep on the third floor. My mother-in-law and sister-in- law saw the strange lady and had their experiences sometime before I had mine and while I cannot give exact dates on this I feel certain it all occurred within only a matter of days or perhaps a few weeks. It appears the visitations of the ghost occurred during a rather short period of time. However, since my wife’s folks have moved from the big house and it is now occupied by others I have no way of knowing whether the woman in white still roams the third floor. 35 For the past 10 years I have been employed as a police officer by the largest railroad in the East- ern United States. I have learned from.experience that making a good investigation is a complicated and painstaking job of gathering facts. Realizing ‘the importance of facts I am not one who is easily led into believing blindly what cannot be proven but I also realize that there are, about us, many things which our senses do not detect. There are sounds which our ears cannot hear, colors which our eyes cannot see, substances which we cannot feel, and odors we cannot smell. With these thoughts in mind I leave the conclusions to be drawn from the above report to your dis- cretion.

MY INTERVIEW WITH FREUD - and bringing into the conscious mind the unknown, hidden influ- ences that previously lay in the sub- conscious. Although psychoanal- ysis is not primarily concerned with the existence or non-existence of extrasensory experiences as is para- psychology, it can delve into the unconscious origins of many of them and, at times, can give a fan- tastically revelatory solution to un- desirable psychic outbreaks. In 1929, through an interview with Lord Rothermere when he visited the United States, I obtained a position on his personal staff, and moved to London with a comfort- able office on Fleet Street. Lord Rothermere (Harold Sidney Harms- worth) was the owner-publisher of a great chain of newspapers through- out England, including the London Daily Mail, the London Evening News, the Daily Mirror, and the Sunday Dispatch. However, my duties in this position were some- what ill-defined. I was to be work- ing on Hungarian matters — the re- vision of the Hungarian peace treaty after World War I being a very heated issue at this time. As this job left me quite a bit of free time, I used it to advantage in assem- bling and writing the Encyclopaedia of Psychic Science —a huge task, since the book ran to 500,000 words. On publication of this vol- ume, including an introduction by Sir Oliver Lodge, the great physicist 69 and psychical researcher, I was es- tablished as an authority on psy- chical matters practically overnight. At this time, items about the supernatural and spiritualism were front page news in England. The interest in what happened to the human personality after death ex- tended from outstanding scientists and authors such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dr. Gilbert Murray, and Dr. William Brown to a vast group of the public (consisting largely of older people) who eager- ly rushed to the seances and demon- strations of the newest and most talked-about mediums who appear- ed from time to time. Midway be- tween the rather stuffy Society for Psychical Research and the un- critical enthusiasms of the spirit- ualist societies and their news- papers — Two Worlds and Psychic News —was the International In- stitute for Psychical Research. Through the recommendation of Mrs. Dawson Scott, a member of the board, I was made first a mem- ber of the council and later Direc- tor of Research for this organiza- tion. In this capacity I was called in- to the investigation of cases such as the Ash Manor Haunting, the so- called “Talking Mongoose” Case (reported in the book, Haunted People, by Hereward Carrington and myself) and the Thornton Heath Poltergeist reported in full
Page 70
7° in my book, On the Trail of the Poltergeist). The Thornton Heath case re- ceived a great deal of publicity as a classical poltergeist case. Polter- geist is a word compounded from two German words meaning “noisy” and “spirit”. According to spirit- ualistic beliefs it is a particularly obstreperous ghost, operating through the medium of some per- son’s body, that throws items and objects about a house and in gen- eral causes a great deal of damage and disturbance. Dr. Frank Podmore, a skeptical early investigator for the Society for Psychical Research had made note of the fact that, in a majority © of these cases, the “medium” is a boy or girl about the age of pub- erty or in late adolscence. Never- theless, in the Thornton Heath case (named after the suburb of London where it took place), there was no adolescent in the center of events; instead, there was an attractive married woman of 35—whom I called “Mrs. Forbes” in my report. *— Kk Ok SHALL NEVER forget my ex- perience on the first day I visited the house. For five days the breaking saucers, flying. knick- knacks, and overturned furniture had been reported in the news- papers, and my assistant had visited the house before me. On the day I arrived, accompanied by Dr. FATE Wills, I observed 29 unusual occur- rences, five of which could not be ascribed to any normal cause. However, as the four-month in- vestigation following this day pro- gressed, it became clear to me that the basis of the disturbance was not to be found in any discarnate spirit, but rather in Mrs. Forbes’ own mind and personality. By using in- terviews, and personality and word association tests, I discovered that the problem was related to her own guilt feelings springing from sexual traumata and frustrations. Many of the events took place when she was in altered states of conscious- ness, or semi-amnesia. Needless to say, findings such as these were highly distasteful to my colleagues and superiors in the In- ternational Institute as they would weaken the spiritistic hypothesis and also brought in elements that offended the high moral tone of the members of the board. Up to that time, psychical re- search was a singularly one-sided scientific pursuit. The researchers, no matter how intrigued by the mysteries of the supernatural, felt they were upholding the strictest scientific standards by investigat- ing the reported phenomena exclus- ively. To them, any questions of the mental background or person- ality of a medium under examina- tion or of a family experiencing a haunting were beside the point —a

MY INTERVIEW WITH FREUD distracting influence of no bearing on the reality of the psychic event. To the prim, elderly ladies who supported the International Insti- tute for Psychical Research the mention and investigation of any sexual factors in a case of psychical phenomena was an shocking development. I took a vacation and when I returned, discovered that my book- length manuscript had been im- pounded (without being read, of course). The crisis deepened and echoes were heard in the spiritual- istic press. I forced the council to return my manuscript. This occur- rence, along with an earlier article of mine published in a popular sci- entific monthly, Armchair Science, entitled “Crisis in Spiritualism,” provoked a violent attack on me and my methods by Hannen Swaf- fer. Editor Maurice Barbanell’s headline for this series of articles condemning me in Psychic News was “Crisis in Nandor Fodor.” In order to protect my reputation and my point of view I brought suit against Psychic News for libel. It was at this point, sometime after the severance of my relation- ship with the International Insti- tute, that I appealed for and re- ceived support from Sigmund Freud himself, who had arrived in England in June, 1938, a refugee from the Nazi menace that was beginning to sweep over Europe. It was actually inexcusable, ° qi my wife who conceived the idea of appealing to Freud and she made the initial visit. Carrying a bunch of beautiful tiger lilies as a tribute from the women of England, she knocked on the door at 20 Mares- field Gardens, where Freud was living. As it turned out, on that day Freud was feeling lonely and bored. When an attractive lady ap- peared, bringing flowers, he was deeply touched and had her stay for tea. When she told him of the impasse that had developed because of my lone championing of the psycho- analytical approach, Freud was aroused, At the termination of the interview, he asked to see the con- troversial manuscript. I hastened to send it—Zin fear and trepida- tion. On November 22, 1938, the sun shone out and life became wonder- ful again. Freud had written me a letter in German, in his own hand. The English translation of it is as follows: November 22, 1938 20 Maresfield Gardens London, N.W. 3. “Dear Sir: “Perhaps you cannot imag- ine how vexatious the reading’ of such documents of experi-' ments, precautions, evidence of *° witnesses and so on is for a reader to whom to start with

I have held out, however, and have been richly rewarded. “The way you deflect your interest from the question of whether the phenomena ob- served are real or have been falsified and turn it to the psy- chological study of the medi- um, including the investiga- tion of her previous history, seems to me to be the right step to take in the planning of research which will lead to some explanation of the occur- rences in question. “Tt is greatly to be regretted that the International Insti- tute for Psychical Research was not willing to follow you in this direction. Furthermore, I regard as very probable the result you come to with the particular case. “Naturally it would be de- sirable to confirm it through a real analysis of the person, but that evidently is not feasible. Your manuscript is ready for you to fetch. “With many thanks for send- ing me the interesting material. “Yours truly, “Sigm. Freud” s #2 PATE I rushed to his house and re- ceived the manuscript from him. He was kind and gracious, encourag- ing me to stick to my guns and fight for the truth as I saw it. I asked if I might use his letter as a frontispiece for the published manuscript and he agreed. Un- fortunately, I could make no use of | his support in the trial. Freud was. ailing and in his last years (he died in 1939); it would have been in- excusable to drag his name into our quarrel, Later, however, his letter took on a greater significance as it is one of a small number of evidences, showing that Freud was acquainted with psychical matters and actually had a very great interest in them. The problems of telepathy, survival, precognition, and “poltergeisting” had occupied Freud throughout his life and he admitted that the topic of occultism (the term he usually used) “perplexed him to distrac- tion.” Freud had been a corresponding member of the British Society for Psychical Research since 1911 and of the American Society for Psy- chical Research since 1915. He himself credited the British Society as being one of the first groups to recognize the importance of his discoveries. This occurred in 1893, when Frederic W. H. Myers brought Freud’s theories to the attention of the Society. At this time Freud was
Page 73
MY INTERVIEW WITH FREUD still vainly seeking any signs of recognition from Viennese and Con- tinental medical and scientific groups. He published a paper in 1922 entitled “Telepathy and Dreams” which was rather cautiously worded. Only after his death and the pub- lication of the third volume of the “official” biography by Dr. Ernest Jones, in 1957, was the full extent of his interest revealed. The post- humous appearance of his paper “Psychoanalysis and Telepathy” in 1941 caused a sensation, for it was the first publication in which Freud strongly committed himself for the possibility of telepathy. The Jones biography (Ernest Jones, The Life and Work of Sig- mund Freud ) reveals that this paper had been written in 1921, but it was put aside in favor of the more care- fully worded version, largely due to the urging of Jones and others. There is little doubt that the pub- lication of the paper at that time would have meant serious trouble for psychoanalysis, which was plagued by plenty of problems of its own. That Freud recognized these con- siderations is shown by his some- what humorous answer to Jones in a letter: “I am extremely sorry that my utterance about telepathy should have plunged you into fresh diffi- culties.. But it is really hard not to offend English susceptibilities... 73 When anyone adduces my fall into sin, just answer him calmly that (my) conversion to telepathy is my private affair like my Jewish- ness, my passion*for smoking and many other things, and that the theme of telepathy is in essence alien to psychoanalysis.” Two important followers of Freud in psychoanalysis, Sandor Ferenczi of Hungary and C. G. Jung* of Switzerland (who later broke away. to lead the “Jungian school of psy- choanalysis) believed strongly in various elements of “occultism” — as it forms a major theme in Jung’s writings. We are also indebted to the Jones biography for a rather puzzling tale. Freud loved to sit up late at night after important meetings with his closest colleagues, indulging in discussions and stories. On one visit to Vienna in 1909, Jung re- galed Freud with astonishing stories of his own psychic experiences and “also displayed his powers as a poltergeist by making various ar- ticles in the room rattle on the furniture.” Freud was very much impressed by this feat and tried to imitate it after Jung’s departure. However, he found that there were obvious physical reasons for faint noises to be observed and, as he remarked later, his “credulousness * Dr. Jung had been on the subscription for Fate Magazine for many years at the time of his death in 1961. — Ed.
Page 74
74 had vanished together with the magic of Jung’s personality.” If nothing else, this anecdote shows .that Freud’ was familiar with the poltergeist phenomena many years before he saw my manuscript. Jones, Freud’s lieutenant who was instrumental in bringing psycho- analysis to England and America, on the other hand, was skeptical about the evidence for extrasensory powers. Freud seemed to derive a certain amount of pleasure from twitting Jones about this subject. He admitted to Jones that the ac- ceptance of telepathy would be a step of great consequence. One evening, he told Jones a number of stories involving clairvoyance and visitation from departed spirits. When Jones protested about the flimsiness of the evidence, Freud remarked, “I don’t like it at all my- self, but there is some truth in it.” Jones replied that such beliefs could lead to others, such as a be- lief in angels. To this, Freud re- plied, with a quizzical look, “Quite so, even der liebe Gott,” (“even a dear Lord himself”). Jones report- ed that there was “something searching also in the glance, and I went away not entirely happy lest there be some more serious under- tone as well.” _ An earlier letter, written by Freud to my friend Hereward Car- rington, contained an even stronger statement about his attitude to- _ FATE ward “occult psychological phe- nomena.” In 1921 Carrington had invited Freud to join the advisory council of the American Psychical Institute. Although Freud seems later to have forgotten his reply, he nevertheless did write to Carring- ton, and this is what he said: “Dear Sir, “T am not one of those who, from the outset, disapprove of the study of so-called occult psychological phenomena as unscientific, as unworthy, or even dangerous. If I were at the beginning of a scientific career instead of, as now, at its end I would perhaps choose no other field of work, in spite of all difficulties. However, I ask you to forego the use of my name in connection with your undertaking, for several rea- sons: “First, because I am a com- plete layman and novice in the field of the occult, in which I have no right to claim any de- gree of authority, “Secondly, because I must sharply delimit psychoanalysis, which has nothing occult about it, from that unconquered area of knowledge and give no oc- casions for misunderstandings in this respect, “Finally, because I cannot rid myself of certain skeptic-

MY INTERVIEW ‘WITH FREUD materialistic prejudices and would carry them over into the research of the occult. This, I am entirely incapable. of con- sidering the “survival of the personality’ after death, even as a mere scientific possibility. Nor would I do better with the ‘ideoplasma.’ “T think, therefore, it is bet- ter if I continue confining my- self to psychoanalysis. Very sincerely yours, Freud.” Thus, it is obvious that Freud had no objection to psychical re- search, and, in fact, was greatly interested in this field. However, since those days, other psychoanalysts have observed tele- pathic effects, encountered during their consultations with patients. They have been reported by Drs. Jan Ehrenwald, Jule Eisenbud, Ger- aldine Pederson-Krag, and George Devereux of the United States, Emilio Servadio of Italy, Istvan Hollos of Hungary, and others, be- sides myself. On the other hand, some workers in psychical research, such as Drs. Gardner Murphy, Ger- trude Schmeidler, and Betty Nicol have become increasingly interested in the part psychology has to play in the appearance of extrasensory perception. So, there appears to be a sound basis for the exchange of views between the two disciplines: 75 parapsychology and psychoanalysis. “Eg3) e: LL THIS, however, was of little help to me in March, 1939, when my libel action came up for hearing before the judge and jury of the King’s Bench Division in London. Suffice it to say that, after three days of hearings, the jury re- turned with a verdict in my favor. Out of four counts, two were ad- judged libelous and I was awarded damages from Psychic News of 105 Pounds Sterling (approximately $295). Although the amount was not large, the verdict supported my position, justifying my controversy with the International Institute for Psychical Research and the spirit- ualistic newspapers. The underly- ing principle, that a true investiga- tor must publish his findings even though they may go against the be- liefs of some of his colleagues and superiors, was thus affirmed. After a few more investigations in the psychic field I realized that my inclinations were leading me inexorably into psychoanalysis prop- er. I continued my studies and also . returned to the United States. In the following 20 years I have seen my Thornton Heath manuscript published (after being rejected by publishers for almost 20 years). Although my adventures as a psychic researcher were exciting, psychoanalysis has proved of equal interest.

A noted scientist and inventor offers a startling theory on how life-fields we call UFO's feed on stuff that fills space. Inventor John M. Cage holds plastic box with suspended object demonstrating that in an electrostatic field particles with same charge attract and repel themselves. U_E0.% the UNIVERSE ta Se ~ Pai ond Mx. JOHN M. GAGE by james W Moseley OME YEARS AGO, Lincoln Barnett wrote a book called The Universe and Dr. Einstein. John M. Cage, an alert 75-year-old scientist and inventor of Montclair, N.J.,.doesn’t claim to be the theo- retical mathematician that Einstein was but ‘his thoughts about the simple arithmetic of the General Field Theory raise some interesting questions indeed. 78 Mr. Cage offers a revolutionary new theory of what makes the Uni- verse go round, for one thing. And equally significant, this theory, if it turns out to be valid, could ex- plain the mysteries of UFO’s — the flying objects that have been re- ported from all over the world for centuries. Since anyone who challenges Ein- stein is a brave man indeed, the
Page 79
first question we ought to ask is: “Who is John M. Cage?” He’s about as far from a back- yard mechanic as one can get, even though he’s not a college-trained engineer. John M. Cage is an original thinker, with many patents to his credit and a long life of ac- complishment. He was loaned to the British Admiralty during World War I to help solve the submarine problem. Thin plastic disk had been suspend- ed in electrostatic field within box for 15 hours when photo was taken, Inventor Cage believes thissame kind of electrostatic field explains the order of the yast galactic systems and could be tapped to power UFO’s, He invented the hydrophone to de- tect submarines and designed the type of hydrophone used in the English Channel. He was honored by the British Government for this work, With Col. E. E. Wilcox he de- veloped a lightning prevention sys- tem adopted by Pan American Oil Company at its enormous tank farm outside Los Angeles. Though con- sidered radical at the time, this system is now thoroughly accepted. Cage also designed and super- vised the building of electronic de- hydrators for the Pan American refineries in Southern California that were new and unorthodox at the time but are today recognized 79
Page 80
80 as among the most efficient in the industry. He also designed and built the “first radio sets able to plug directly into alternating house current. Cage has fully allowed patents for devices held secret by the War Division of the U.S. Patent Office. Recently he has been working on devices which will “see through” fog. This is the man who is challeng- ing some of Dr. Einstein’s theories. HILOSOPHICALLY, Einstein chose to base his beliefs about the universe primarily on the be- havior of light rays. When he found that light rays did not appear to travel through space in a straight line, he concluded that the universe itself was round. And when he saw ' that light disappears if it exceeds a “maximum speed” of 186,000 miles per second, he concluded that matter and energy would disappear, too, if they exceeded that speed. Recent work on the physics of light rays indicates, however, that ’ Einstein may have been mistaken. In the first place, the experiments that “proved” light rays are curved are unsatisfactory from many points of view. The “proof” was that cer- tain stars could be seen from the Earth even though they were hid- den by an eclipse of the Sun. Ein- stein said this meant that the light rays travelled in an arc wide enough FATE to take them around the Sun on their way to Earth. There are several perfectly rea- sonable alternatives to this assump- tion. Mr. Cage believes the most logical explanation of the phenom- enon is that light rays behave dif- ferently in the immediate vicinity of the Sun than they do in outer space, because the heavily charged electrostatic field of the Sun actual- ly bends them en route, thus en- abling us to see the light of stars “hidden” behind the Sun. In the second place, it now is known that light rays can travel faster than Einstein’s maximum under certain conditions and that the energy produced by the passage of light through space in excess of 186,000 miles per second may very well furnish the “fuel” for some spaceships of the future. This fact alone proves that the universe can- not be explained by a theory based solely by the behavior of light rays. For John Cage, the entire uni- verse is underlain with an inherent energy now called “negative” elec- tricity. If the truth were known, he told me, the “negative” charge of electricity is the only one that real- ly exists; what we call the “posi- tive” charge is only the absence of the “negative” charge, something like a vacuum or temporarily un- filled space within the fabric of the universe. The power created by the movement of “negative” elec-
Page 81
UFO’S, THE UNIVERSE, AND MR. CAGE . 8r tricity into these “positive” areas creates what Mr. Cage calls an electrostatic field. This. field is permanent and constant; its strength is determined by the amount of “negative” electricity available for transfer to the “positive” areas, and the relative position of matter with- in the universe is. determined by the charge of “negative” electricity it contains. Within our solar system, for ex- ample, the further a planet is from the Sun the more its “negative” charge must be. If you could change the negative charge, you automatic- ally would force the planet to move anywhere you might want to put it in relation to the other planets and to the Sun. Another good illustration of the workings of the electrostatic theory is the relationship of the Moon and the tides. It is generally thought that tides are caused by the attrac- tion of the Moon as it passes over the surface of the ocean. This theory is belied by the fact that the tidal swells do not occur direct- ly beneath the Moon. Instead, there is a large swell under the outer edge of the Moon in the direction in which it is travelling; and a smaller one that follows beneath the path of the Moon and a little to the rear. John Cage’s explanation of these phenomena is that the Moon, in- stead of attracting the ocean waters, pushes them away. This is entirely vy in accord with the electrostatic the- ory, which teaches that the Moon is where it is because its charge of negative electricity repels it from the Earth. The people who believe that the Moon causes tides through attraction cannot. explain why the tides are not directly beneath the Moon; John Cage’s theory can. T MAY BE that this discussion of scientific theory will seem a trifle academic, but it is only through the electrostatic concept that we can understand Cage’s ideas about Unidentified Flying Objects. John Cage suggests the enigmatic “UFO’s” are not machines, as most people seem to believe, but are “sentient life forms of a highly tenuous composition, charged with and feeding upon energy in ‘the form of negative electricity.” As such the saucers might best be de- scribed as life fields, not as objects at all. These life fields, it is theorized, came into being the same way as all other living things, but their environment forced them to modify their evolutionary development so as to make them incapable of wan- dering into areas of high gravity for long periods. The UFO’s are not, however, space animals in the usual sense of the word. They represent a life form that diverged from the evolutionary process of this planet at such an early age that they do > 4
Page 82
82 not fall into any predetermined category established for the classi- fication of ordinary terrestrial life forms. The characteristic behavior of the UFO’s in relation to aircraft was noted from the earliest days» of aviation, They would frequently swoop down from the heavens and trail along after the aircraft, much as a dolphin follows a ship. They may be displaying consci- ous intelligence in engaging in aerial circus tactics. In one of their fav- orite maneuvers, one opponent races headlong toward the other, only to turn away at the last pos- sible moment. The “saucer-beings” frequently have been observed at this and other sports; perhaps when they see an airplane they believe it ‘to be another species of upper at- mosphere creature and hence seek to engage it in the contest — some- times with tragic results for both. Of course, Mr. Cage is by no means the originator of the “life field” theory. His contribution to the solution of the UFO mystery lies in his suggestion that the sauc- ers “feed” on negative electricity. This theory explains such difficult questions as motive power, pro- creation, and the fact that UFO’s apparently are able to appear and disappear at will and to assume an infinite number of shapes, sizes and color schemes. The saucers, according to Cage’s FATE point of view, contain a natural mechanism for the absorption and discharge .of negative charges until they have reached their capacity. Then, in the attempt to discharge their overloaded systems, they go through the fantastic gyrations and aeronautic peregrinations that have been a familiar feature of many UFO “sightings”. This would clarify also the “mother ship” phenomenon, where smaller UFO’s (the young of the species?) are seen retreating to their mother’s side, much like the mar- supials of Earth. The more we think of the UFO’s as intelligent living beings whose lives are gov- erned by many of the factors that govern our own lives, the more the missing parts of the puzzle fall into place. If the UFO’s really are living creatures, how will their lives be. affected by the age of space? The repeated malfunction and even dis- appearance of many relatively sim- ple mechanical satellites may be closely related to the answer. The ability to draw out the negative ions of the satellite structure would give them the power literally to dis- integrate the materials used in our vehicles. It would be unfortunate if they should decide they don’t like us. We haven’t really taken up much of their Jebensraum yet but the fu- ture may be different. ,
Page 83
UFO’S, THE UNIVERSE, AND MR. CAGE 83 AEE EARLIEST modern sug- gestion that UFO’s were living things came from the Father of Ufology, Charles Fort. His dis- ciples were quick to elaborate on these theories and one of the most distinguished of them, the Countess Zoe Wassilko-Serecki, did so in an article published in the important European occult journal Inconnue in 1955. This article, in turn, came to the attention of a prominent American Fortean scholar, Ivan T. Sander- son, a zoologist and author who makes his home in New York City. Writing in 1957, Mr. Sanderson summarized the Austrian countess’ theory as meaning that “life forms fed on pure energy, dwelt in space, and constructed bodies- for them- selves out of tenuous bladders of colloidal silicones. Colloids exist between the solid and the liquid states, and sooner or later, among these colloids certain combinations ‘of elements in certain mixtures must come together. These are of a na- ture that automatically combine to produce ever more complex sub- stances ending in what chemists call proteins.” Collateral and complementary to Cage’s electrostatic theory. is his advocacy of etherian physics. In his system, the sum total of the negative electricity present within the universe is united in-a common bond, called the “ether”. The ether is broken only by electrostatic fields which have achieved a_ sufficiently powerful charge of negative electricity to pre- vent the dispersion of their energies into the general area of space. This means, of course, that space is not empty although the electrostatic fields within it are many times denser than space itself. Matter and energy behave differently in an electrostatic field than they do in space, with the result that some- thing that is true on Earth might not hold true for outer space. For example, Mr. Cage teaches that the rays of the Sun have no inherent properties of their own and that the sensation of heat which we derive from them is the result of an interaction between certain rays emitted by the Sun and the electro- static field surrounding the Earth. Space is not the cold, dark hole it is often thought to be. The ether of space, having at least a mild negative charge, must interact with the rays of the Sun to produce at least a modicum of warmth, The same can be said about some regions in our own upper atmos- phere. More is being learned on this score with every passing day, and it already is evident that cer- tain “belts” of the upper regions may provide their inhabitants with an environment far different from that imagined by many. It is not unlikely that there are places’ in
Page 84
84 the high altitude range that enjoy a Climate much like Florida’s. - The conclusion that the “saucer- beings” travel by means of negative electricity inevitably suggests that those of us who are not blessed with the natural equipment to survive life in the upper atmosphere might, nevertheless, be able to construct a spacecraft that would operate on similar principles. John Cage’s ef- forts to minimize the effects of gravity through the creation of an electrostatic field have met with some success in the laboratory (see photos). There is no valid reason why, given the same kind of attention that is now spent on dangerous and cumbersome methods of rocket pro- pulsion, a Cage saucercraft could not be airborne within a very few years. Presumably it would be con- structed of a light plastic material with a metallic base and would con- ‘tain no moving parts in its mech- anism other than those required to steer the machine and to regulate FATE the flow of negative particles to and from the electrostatic field. It should be emphasized that this proposal has nothing in common with “free energy” schemes, but is based on well established principles of physical science which have been ignored of late because they lack the glamor of their more spectac- ular competitors in the field of space propulsion systems. Although the Cage saucercraft would not feature free. energy it would be powered by a fuel avail- able throughout the known universe, as opposed to alternative systems based on light-propulsion and elec- tromagnetic oscillation devices. Instead of trying to break the space barrier, we should devote some attention to the possibility of reaching the stars simply by riding the crests of the electrostatic waves traversing the entirety of the Cos- mos. This is the real New Frontier of our Age, and John Cage may be among its foremost pioneers. PREDICTION FULFILLED RS.

86 Georgia law that makes it a capital crime to advise, counsel or encour- - age another person to handle poi- sonous snakes. Preacher Charles H. Hall was freed when a jury could not reach a decision and a mistrial was de- clared. I was interested when, dur- ing the trial, one witness testified that Hall did not encourage snake- handling. In answer, here is my tes- timony, my eye-witness account of a snake-handling service conducted by the self-same Preacher Hall. At the meeting I attended, the typical “choir” was seated just be- hind a knottypine pulpit inscribed “Holiness Unto The Lord,” in large metal letters. The women sat on one side, facing the men. As the sermon progressed and as the preacher himself began to quiv- er and jig up and down with reli- gious ecstasy, shouts of “Praise the Lord!” and “Hallelujah!” rang out from the choir, with echoes from the congregation. Then they began to sing, clapping their hands in tune with the rocking rhythm. The church, a small rural one of cement blocks near Fort Payne, Ala.,.was filled to the doors. Small, bare-foot children sat in the front- row pews, holding dolls or munch- ing-candy bars from a nearby filling station and general store. I-shuddered to watch as old folks and children began to pass several deadly rattlesnakes through the Ma FATE congregation. As many as 20 persons at once, were handling the angry, hissing reptiles—jigging and jump- ing up and down and shouting with religious fervor in a way to make any normal serpent strike. They wore the creatures around their necks and arms like jewelry, with utter disregard for their personal safety. I saw two people bitten. Both survived without any medical aid whatsoever. One of them was Preacher Hall. When these people were bitten, no treatment except prayer and the “Jaying on of hands” was admin- istered. During the service there was a small bottle on the pulpit. I was told that it contained arsenic. No one drank from the bottle during the service I watched, but it is said to be always available for a further demonstration of faith. There are those who feel that these snake-handling services are more a demonstration of fraud than faith. One very wide-spread idea is that the snakes are “milked” before being handled. I myself have seen one milked after a meeting. The hypodermic-like fangs are held over the edge of a water glass, and the poison sacs under the jaws squeezed to eject the venom from them. The snakes I saw were neither milked nor de-fanged. . A more scientific view.sees the
Page 87
I SAW THEM TAKE UP SERPENTS 87 snake-handling ceremony as a weird form of Russian roulette in which the participants gamble their lives on the fact that not even the most poisonous snake kills every time it strikes. Herpetologists, scientists who specialize in snakes, long have known that poisonous snakes do not always release their venom when they strike. In fact, Laurence Klau- ber, the world’s foremost authority on rattlesnakes, recently has esti- mated that the bite of a poisonous snake is fatal in only one-and-a-half per cent of all cases. Gamblers or no, the snake- handlers of the southern United States are certainly one of the most interesting religious groups in the world. Theirs is the Holiness Church, an extremely devout sect, almost fanatical in its belief in the “Holy Power” to perform miracles by faith alone. Few have ever been to a doctor, except for the state- required shots that admit children to public schools. None I have met has been inside a hospital, and only “folk medicine”—made from reci- pes of roots and herbs, handed down from pioneer ancestors or the Indians—ever is taken for any kind of illness. Most families have belonged to this faith for three generations, tak- ing up serpents as small children, and “laying on hands” to cure whatever illness happens to strike them. Several had drunk poison! Yet, they’re a remarkably healthy lot, this congregation of death- defying “true believers”. As the meeting progressed, several stood up and testified to the Lord’s heal- ing them of one ailment and an- other, ranging from a broken leg (never put in a cast) to a “horny cancer” on one old gentleman’s wrist. They believe firmly in their preacher’s power to “lay on hands and heal” and accept no other treat- ment, although free medical care always is available at County clin- ics and, at any rate, money is no deterrent as most members are well- to-do farmers. The surprising thing, to me, was the degree of education of many devoted members. Most were high school graduates, and some had college degrees. If the general pub- lic believes that ignorance is a pre- requisite for membership in this strange sect they are mistaken.” One young preacher discussed their beliefs with me with intelli- - gence and such lack of bigotry that I found myself, several times, at a loss for argument! If any worship-’ per, he said, chooses to endanger his own and his children’s lives and health by demonstrating his faith. in a dangerous manner, why should ° the state interfere?

88 nego told to stay out of the fiery _ furnace because it was illegal to prove their faith by being saved from death by’ burning? Such re- ligious freedom is every American’s right, he contended fiercely—even if it can be suicidal! The snake-handling Holiness sect is an offshoot of the Pentacos- tal Church, variously known as the Pentacostal Holiness, Church of God, and Assemblies of God. The mother church was established in 1886, under the same Christian Union. There are now some 30 di- visions of the faith which worship according to their own literal in- terpretation of certain Bible pas- sages. In all, they number about 180,000 members. All sects believe that Divine Power will protect and heal, though not all are moved to put this power to a public test. However, many who have tested the power in secret will deny doing so. There are three reasons for this secrecy: One, members can be ar- rested and fined and/or jailed for their fanatic beliefs. Two, insurance companies will not pay death bene- fits for a death resulting from han- dling snakes deliberately in a church meeting. Three, in some states the practice of encouraging these rites is legally considered murder. The practice of “taking up ser- pents” as a demonstration of faith is said to have begun with a rural preacher, walking alone in the moun- FATE tains, near his small church at Grasshopper, Tenn., some 50 years ago. Seeing a coiled rattlesnake in his path, he felt impelled to pick it up “just to prove his trust in the Lord.” For some reason the rattler did not strike and he carried it home with him, to repeat the demonstra- tion from his pulpit the following Sunday. He exhorted members of his church to “do likewise”, and they did—some with fatal results as the meetings continued. But these deaths from “lack of faith” did not stop the sect from _ spreading throughout the entire South and as far north as Philadelphia. To some extent, the spread of snake-handling is the direct result of attempts to legislate the practice out of existence. Because the prac- tice is now illegal in Virginia, Vir- ginians are crossing the nearby state line into the coal fields of southern West Virginia. At Jolo, W. Va., Mrs. Robert Elkins is the self-appointed leader of the snake- handling Church In Jesus where her 23-year-old daughter died after a rattlesnake bit. her during a 1961 service. The entire theology of the snake- handling church seems to be an interpretation of a single passage in the Bible. The passage is Chapter 16, Verses 17-18 of the Gospel of St. Mark: “And these signs shall follow
Page 89
I SAW THEM TAKE UP SERPENTS them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; “They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover.” This passage, quoted often’ in every meeting, and in some printed on a large poster behind the pul- pit in letters a foot high, is a di- rect command to handle poisonous snakes or drink poison, they insist, as well as to “lay on hands” in- stead of ever seeking medical aid. At least seven Southern States now deny the snake-handlers the legal right to put this theology in- to practice. The law has become much stricter since authorities ‘noted an alarming rise in deaths due to snakebite during the 10 years 1950-60. In 1954, in Dekalb County, Ala., seven members of a local snake- handling sect were tried before Judge I. M. Presley. The trial re- quired two days, since each defen- dant was ‘tried separately. They were Rev. Charlie Hall, Lloyd Hill, Rev. Curtis Mitchell, Rev. Ray- mond Smith, Luther Lloyd, Tess Wall, and Joe Jackson. All admitted readily to the handl- ing of snakes as a demonstration of their faith. In 1954 they were con- victed and fined $50 and costs for handling serpents in the basement x : : Ee BOBO O OOOO OO ROOD OO OOOO OOOO OOOO OO OOO OOOO OO OOOO EO OLY If 04 1963? 1964? 1965?

THE COLLIE WHO WENT TO SEANCES By Esther Norman ; URING THE TERRIBLE days | of World War I, young Wal- ter Pinger, lived in St. Joseph, Mo., with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Pinger. Walter had a collie dog who he called ‘“Collie- girl,’ and sometimes just plain “Collie.” The war took many fine young men and one day, Walter was called to France to fight for his country. -Before he left he asked his parents to “take good care of Collie-girl.” He knelt to hug his pet tightly and to caress her for the last time. From the day he left Collie watched for her master to return. His parents petted the dog and tried to make up, in a small way, for ‘her loneliness. Then three days before the Armis- tice was signed, their beloved son was killed in action on the fields of France. The Pingers were heart- broken. They could not tell the dog that her adored owner would never again walk in the door, but they knew that his spirit would come home to them. Mr. and Mrs. Pinger were Spirit- ualists and had experienced many wonderful evidences that death is not the end. They went to the church FATE will pay $5 for each story published in this department.

Ward, was a wonderful medium and had brought them many evidential messages, long before Walter left for the war and its horrors. The Pingers now asked Reverend Ward to come to their home to hold some seances and prepared an up- stairs room for the meeting. At one of these seances after Walter’s death the Pingers invited a group of close friends and rela- tives to attend. As the guests ar- rived Collie ran to the door, wag- ging her tail, each time, seeming to smile and to be unusually happy. She seemed to sense something spe- cial. Finally, upstairs, everyone took a chair and they turned out the light. The seance began. They closed the door to keep out any light and Collie was left down in the living room, lying on the floor. The group sang some hymns. Rev- erend Ward’s guide, John Christo- pher, came in and talked to the group in a deep voice. Another voice came in and gaye the reas- suring message that Walter was there and would try to speak to them. Overjoyed, Mr. and Mrs. Pinger waited. Then it happened. They

All of a sudden, they heard Col- lie yelping wildly; almost screaming in a strange hysteria, and heard her clawing and leaping up the stairway to the door of the seance room. She scratched at the closed door in a frenzy, trying to gain entrance to the seance room. Her howling drowned out the voice speaking from the trumpet. Mr. Pinger opened the door and Collie rushed into the darkened room, barking in delight. She rushed to the center of the circle as Mr. Pinger closed the door and found his chair again. The group heard Walter’s voice say caressingly from the trumpet as it bent down to tap the happy dog on the head, “Oh, Collie Girl! Collie Girl! I’m not dead, I’ve tried to make you know I was here!” Collie rolled on her back with joy. The dog continued to give short barks of joy and to whimper hap- pily until Walter dropped the trumpet. Other spirits came in and talked but Collie lay quietly on the floor throughout the rest of the seance. After that, whenever Reverend Ward came to their home to hold seances, as she often did they took Collie upstairs with them. Some- times, in the daytime, Collie would go to the top of the stairs and look into the seance room, as if searching for her master. She was happier after she began to hear Walter’s voice and when Reverend Ward came to the house was always over-

I was just 18 and I began to ery and told her she could not leave me. I told her I wanted to go with her but she said I couldn’t, I would have to stay here and do God’s work and live a good life. She said that she would watch over me and wait for me in Heaven. All down through the years it has seemed as though she was here. Back in September, 1940, my baby boy, L. D., was not expected to live. The doctor had told me they had done all they could do. My father- in-law and my husband were with me and we walked home from the doctor’s office. Finally I asked them to let me return home alone. They looked‘ at me funny but let me go. As I walked up the hill toward the house I was praying for my baby. All at once angels were all around me and my grandmother appeared. I told her I would do what God wanted me to do, go where he want- ed me to go but please, just not to let my baby die. Grandmother told me to go on to the house, my baby would live. When I entered the door my baby raised up in his bed and called, Mama. No one knows the joy that was in my heart. My life has not been easy but Grandmother is always here when the going gets rough. I have given birth to six babies. During one very difficult delivery my husband had gone for help and I was alone. Everything would get dark as I began to lose consciousness and then my grandmother would call me back and tell me I could not leave, that I had to save my baby. Then I would wake up and do as she instructed me. When my husband, Clemons, and the doctor

How- ever, when I told them it was my grandmother who had told me what to do they didn’t believe me. In December, 1952, my husband was working in Nashville, Tenn., at night. At 12:00 o’clock on the 10th I was awakened by my grandmoth- er’s presence. She told me Clemons had been in a wreck, that the high- way was full of black cows. I woke up my oldest son, James, and told him his daddy was in a car wreck. At 1:30 A.M., an hour and a half later, we were notified that Clemons had been involved in a car wreck. He was not able to work for six weeks.-—Fairview, Tenn. MOTHER KNEW _ By Don Wixson HEN I WAS A CHILD, in 1932, we lived on a ranch near Hobbs, N. Mex. Our nearest neighbors lived five miles from us; they had eight children and Mrs. Hendricks was expecting. When her time came Mother went to act as midwife. Upon her return we were shocked to find that Nina Hendricks had died in childbirth. Two months elapsed and Mr. Hendricks seemed strange. The chil- dren acted withdrawn, even afraid at school. Our family often went to their home to bring food or to of- fer our help, but the eldest daugh- ter, now acting as housekeeper, al- ways seemed anxious for us to leave. We couldn’t understand the strange behavior of our once friend- ly neighbors. Then one evening Mr. Hendricks burst into our house, almost hys- terical.

You must come home with me. It’s Nina! Every night at 11:00 she comes!” : We listened, awed by his strange report. Each night for almost a month Mrs. Hendricks, or rather her spirit, had appeared upstairs, going to the children’s beds as had been her custom. The figure lin- gered especially at the baby’s crib. Father went with Mr. Hendricks and he too saw the ghost. He went almost every night to our neigh- bor’s home in an effort to explain what he thought must be a natural phenomenon, always claiming that he didn’t believe in spirits but that he would explain the vision of Mrs. Hendricks. some other way. Ann, the eldest daughter, insisted that her mother was trying to tell them something about the baby. She pleaded with Mr. Hendricks to take the baby to the doctor. It seemed ridiculous for she appeared ~ healthy but finally he consented. When the doctor examined the baby he told them that she had pneumonia and it was miraculous they had discovered it in time. The baby recovered and the ghost of Mrs. Hendricks was seen no more.—Austin, Colo.

The drawers were deep and spacious and I felt that this dresser was just what I had been looking for. i My mother-in-law said she didn’t want someone else’s junk and asked my husband to cart it away which, of course, he did on December 18, 1961—right over to our house. I was well pleased with the old dress- er. After cleaning and polishing it, we put it in the bedroom and I soon had the drawers filled with bedding. Three days later, while I was combing my hair before the newly acquired mirror, a young lady about 22 years old came up behind me. She was looking right at me in the mir- ror. Her dress was green silk, cut in the style of another era. It had a high collar around her throat, tight bodice and long sleeves. Her hair was long and blonde and wrapped around her head like a crown. I quickly turned to face her but there was no one there. Turning again to the mirror I saw her look- ing out at me. For an instant I was so afraid I could not move. Then, regaining my wits, I ran from the room, slamming the door behind me as I fled. I did not enter the bed- Toom again until my husband eame home. After I told him my experience, he went into the bedroom to look into the mirror. He could see noth- _ ing extraordinary. Of course, he teases me about it but, because it upset me so, he has removed the mirror, replacing it with the mirror from my vanity. Elmira, N.Y.

MYSELF AND I, by Constance A. Newland. Coward-McCann, Inc., New York, 1962. 288 pages, $4.95. This is a fascinating, shocking, and, in some respects, dangerous book. It is the confessional of a trou- bled woman who experimented with psychiatry’s latest drug—lysergic acid diethylamide, or what is now popularly known as LSD-25. The object in taking the question- able drug presumably is therapeutic, and the patient enjoys as a bonus varieties of “visions” which some dismiss as hallucinations, while others glorify them as peeps into the wonders of hidden worlds. The “magic”? mushroom of Mexico and our own peyote cactus have been praised for inducing the same kind of mystical adventuring. On page 87 of this seductively at- tractive volume, the eminent intel- lectual, Aldous Huxley, rhapsodizes over his “lysergic acid experience” and paints an iridescent picture of “living geometric forms . . . carpets, carvings, mosaics ... vast and com- plicated buildings .. . landscapes . -forms passing from richness to more intensely colored richness . . . from grandeur to deepening grandeur.” 99 NEW BOOKS What one “sees” means little or nothing unless he is a trained seer or initiate. Even Swedenborg’s vi- sions were limited to Swedish land- scapes and people attired in local costumes, which led the mediumistic gentleman to believe that Heaven was peopled only with his fellow compatriots. The bewildered authoress, Con- stance A. Newland, ran the entire gamut of blood-chilling terror by experimenting with the drug, and claims a “complete emotional regen- eration” as her reward. She writes, “T traveled deep into the buried re- gions of the mind. I discovered that in addition to being, consciously, a loving mother and a respectable citizen, I was, unconsciously, a mur- deress, a pervert, a cannibal, a sad- ist, and a masochist.” But her self-discovery is not unique. Practically everyone if he digs deeply enough into the strata of the subconscious, will discover the same horrors; but they were not meant to be exorcised by dubious drugs like LSD-25. All drugs, in fact, are poisons that shock and de- range the nervous system. It is far wiser to delve, into the sub- conscious by courageous self-study,

The physical plane is believed by oceultists to be interpenetrated by an invisible (to ordinary sight) ethereal realm which contains the counterparts of everything indig- enous to the objective world, as well as images, shapes and forms result- ing from our thoughts and feelings. It may be that the “clairvoyant” and drug-taker sees these as actual realities. But they see only what corresponds to their predominate mental bent and basic tempera- ment. My Self And I is certainly a thor- ough study in the night-side of hu- man nature. It has a foreword by Dr. Harold Greenwald, an intro- duction by Dr. R. A. Sandison (both of whom would profit by reading a few issues of FATE), and three big sections comprising 25 chapters with titles suggestive of Tennessee Wil- liams’ plays. It is an impressive, even over- whelming, book, and if LSD-25 were easily obtained (which, thank heaven, it isn’t), many readers no doubt would rush to buy it in the hope of experiencing equally bizarre visions. We do not believe that the mixed- up writer of My Self And I has told us anything new. She has only told it shockingly.

FATE used in Esoteric Teachings, Reli- gions and Philosophies of the Ages, from the ancient Mystery Schools through the old Indian, Persian, Egypto-Chaldean and Greco-Roman cultural epochs to the modern In- itiation-science of our own fifth- epoch of civilization.” Needless to say, it is neither the first nor the best book of its type; and it only defines some of these terms. Even so, the definitions— from “Aahu” to “Zoroaster,” with cross-references—are not always of value. Examples: “Horary Astrol- ogy” (quite misunderstood, with no mention of it as an answer-finder) ; “Khe Chara” (defined by another term equally obscure but itself undefined); “ESP” (“or clairvoy- ance’—inadequate). In some in- stances, the compiler’s sense of pro- portion seems distorted, e.g., a “Chairman | sic | of the Theosophical Society in Great Britain” is listed— although with misspelled initials— while the contemporary Interna- tional President of that Society is identified merely as a “Theosophist.” Other entries seem hardly pertin- ent to the subject, e.g., “Abominable Snowman” and “Helen Keller.” By including biographical and bibliographical material, the author has attempted to assist scholars, students, writers on occult themes, and the general reader in “select- ing for further study the most im- portant books dealing with the various occult sciences.” In the process, some 20th Century authors are displaced into the 1800’s (e.g., Kingsland, de Purucker) and some well-known titles are misstated, e.g., King’s Gnostics |sic| and Myer’s Human Personality and Tts Sur- vival | sic]. But it is not difficult

NEW BOOKS to see which authors and which books the compiler regards as “the most important.” The longest, most informative entries appear under “Spiritual Science (Anthroposo- phy) ” and “Steiner, Rudolph”, three and six pages respectively. Dr. Rudolph Steiner (1861-1925), Austrian philosopher, author and occultist, was General Secretary of the German national Section of the (Adyar) Theosophical Society until 1912, afterwards founding the Anthroposophical Society; and, un- til his death, exerted a notable in- fluence on European mystical cir- cles with his “Christian Theosophy.” This book, which might have been better titled an Anthroposophical dictionary, is really an introduc- tion to the man, his teachings, ac- complishments, associates, and suc- cessors.—Walter A. Carrithers, Jr. 103 THE MAGIC OF SPACE, by Triton. Triad Publishing Company, Larchmont, N. Y., 1962. 314 pages, $7.50. The publishers claim that this book was written in five weeks, using telepathy as the medium of communication. If so, or if not so, it will stand or fall as one of the most impressive compilations of oc- cult misinformation that we have ever read. It is a prize example of what the human mind, fired by a passion for literary status and recognition, can do with a chaos of misunder- stood gleanings from world reli- gions, philosophies, and metaphysics. In the ambitious effort to , present a “new revelation” of universal Truth, ideas are borrowed from many sources—among them The Dhammapada, The Buddhist AT LAST?

The Mystic Arts Book Society invites you to accept this book YOURS $5.95 EVERYWHERE — YOURS FREE Cosmic CONSCIOUSNESS is rightly considered to be one of the great classics of mystical experience. It is not only a powerful and moving book, it is so daring that, although written almost sixty years ago, it is still ahead of its time. A book of this sort can only be produced under very special circumstances. Its author must be a brave and unconventional man who has not only the authority of scientific training and the prestige of an eminent position in that world, but also deep-seated emotional conviction based upon per- sonal experience. Richard Maurice Bucke was just that man. Born in Canada in 1837 he was orphaned in childhood and. spent years working on railways and steamboats and as a miner and prospector. At 21 he returned to his birthplace and graduated from McGill Medical School with distinction, becoming a List Price: $3.9§ leading psychiatrist, President of the Psychological Section of the British Medical Asociation, President of the American Medico-Psychological Association, Superintendent of the Provincial Asylum for the Insane at Hamilton, Ontario, and Professor of Mental and Nervous Diseases at Western University. At 36 he had the sudden and illuminating metaphysical experience that lightened his life thereafter and led to the production of this remarkable book. This extraordinary event proved to be not an isolated occurrence, or a mental aberration, but the emergence of a new faculty which was neither supernatural nor supranormal, but the natural outgrowth of our present level of consciousness to a level that is as far above ours as ours is above the simple consciousness of animals. Dr. Bucke calls this faculty cosmic consciousness. He believes that the men who possess it, such as Buddha, Jesus, Paul, Dante, Spinoza, Blake, Balzac, Whitman, and a growing number of others in our time, are forerunners of the beings who will eventually people the earth. ér More of These Intriguing Books...

THE QUIMBY MANUSCRIPTS, edited by H. W. Dresser. The Julian Press, Inc., New York, N. Y., 1962. 446 pages, $8.00. Controversy has continued for nearly a century as to how much of Christian Science teachings are based on the original thinking of Phineas Parkhurst Quimby. This new edition, the first complete one ever published of the Quimby manu- scripts, should go a long way to- ward settling the question. Originally edited by H. W. Dress-

NEW BOOKS er, one of Quimby’s early students, it includes for the first time in print anywhere all the additional material which has been kept for succeeding generations under lock and key. Complete versions are given from which only extracts were published, and _ photostatic copies of the original hand-written materials are reproduced. Phineas P. Quimby, 1802-1866, unaided by advanced education or the special terminology necessary to a new science, was the first per- son in modern times to rediscover and develop the ancient art of men- tal healing. He learned so much from mesmerism that he was able to give it up after four year’s practice. Experiments in mesmeric sleep convinced him that disease is an error of the mind, not a real thing. He was the first modern man to recognize the fact that the human mind is amenable to suggestion and to develop a scientific method of mental healing. From his teachings and his per- sonal experience in mental healing have grown dozens of varied disci- plines. He contributed materially to the growth of modern psycho- somatics, New Thought, Unity and Christian Science. Psychiatrists see much, in his letters to patients, familiar to them in their own treat- ments. A very detailed study of Quimby’s relationship to Mrs. Patterson (Mary Baker Eddy), that of teacher and student, healer and patient, leaves little room for any doubt of Quim- by’s authority except by those whose minds are closed on the subject. Quimby did not write Mrs. Eddy’s Science and Health. He did write Questions and Answers for a 107 OAHSPE THE LONG LOST UNCHANGED FIRST EDITION THE 1882 EDITION OF THE WONDER BOOK OF THIS AGE, PHOTOCOPIED FROM THE ORIGINAL, NOT A COMMA CHANGED! In 1891 John Ballou Newbrough and Andrew M. Howland issued a- “‘re- vised and corrected’’ edition of OAH- SPE. Because since 1885 the first edition could not be purchased any- where, the public has been unable to ascertain what these changes were.

Z | M E CEDARBURG, WIS, FATE patient—later supplemented by notes of readings and conversations —four months before Mrs. Eddy came to him for healing. ’ Mrs. Eddy gradually developed her version of the Quimby teach- ings, repeatedly acknowledging both privately and in print her indebt- edness to him. In 1870 she published her version, The Science of Man, as arranged by her but still attrib- uted to Quimby, although in later editions she was named as the author. By 1872 she had made so many changes in details and term- inology that she no longer ac- knowledged Quimby’s aid. The es- sential ideas and methods thus were his, the terminology and final ver- sion hers. The editors of the Quimby manu- scripts had at their disposal every scrap of material extant from his hand or the hands of his leading students, Miss Emma Ware, Miss Sarah Ware and George Quimby. All had distinctive handwritings. None were in Mrs. Eddy’s handwrit- ing or bore the slightest evidence of any suggestions by her. The Quimby Manuscripts includes biography, history of the manu- scripts, development of Quimby’s discovery of the principles of men- tal healing, all of his writings in full form, letters to and from pa- tients, testimony to his ability in contemporary newspapers, Mrs. Ed- dy as his patient and student, bib- liography of Quimby’s writings and publications, bibliography of the Quimby-Eddy controversy, cross- index and section of facsimiles. It is an invaluable addition to the library of every student of mental healing.—Virginia Stumbough. ; —

SHATTERING “PSYCHONS” Recently Fatge has reported sev- eral epidemics of car window shat- terings. As a possible explanation of these epidemics I suggest, they are a kind of poltergeist phenomenon caused, as are the most common pol- tergeists, by the telekinetic action of what the New York psychoanalyst and parapsychologist Nandor Fo- dor has called a free-floating auton- omous, detached psychon-system. According to Fodor, poltergeists are produced by a split-off portion of the personality of the agent (us- ually a neurotic adolescent) con- sisting of repressed aggressive and sexual impulses and desires. These forbidden, suppressed “psychons” (a name Fodor, following Whately Car- ington, applies to any mental con- stituent, such as a _sense-datum, image, idea, mood, complex, etc.), unable to express themselves in a normal manner detach themselves from the rest of the personality and function independently in a paranormal manner free of the “censorship” of the conscious mind. Perhaps something analogous sometimes happens to a whole com- munity. Certain “psychons” from the personalities of all members of the community detach themselves from the rest of their respective personalities and coalesce into a sin- gle new “psychon-system” express- SEE the HUMAN AURA! a vital step toward PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT Aura researchers have now developed 'a mechanical means of learning to see the human aura — permanent optically per- fect filters mounted in a pair of gog- gles adjustable to your head-size.

I must have fallen asleep because I dreamed (?) that I was lying on what seemed to be an old-fashioned couch. My mother and grandmother were standing by my head crying and I, was behind them, looking down on myself. I tried to touch them on their shoul- ders and shake them to tell them not to cry. I said to myself, “So this is death!” I couldn’t make them hear me or feel my hands on them. They kept on crying. Then I awoke. Since then I’ve never been afraid of dying.—Mildred Speas, Live Oak, Calif. RANDOM BOOK OPENINGS The particular incident which at- tracted my attention to “random book openings” was peculiar. I open- ed a massive reference volume in- tending to seek an item, naturally under the letter “L” as the item was “Louis XIV.” But the book opened directly to a page in the “G” section, with my eyes focus- sing point-blank on the item “Le Grande Monarque—Louis XIV!” In my own family the frequency of such phenomena rules out coinci- dence as a possible explanation. My wife reports their repeated occur-

His mother is frequently startled by his scream of delighted amazement, “Look, I just opened the book without trying and here is the item I want!” Among the papers I get regular- ly is The Daily News because I am fascinated by its regular feature, the “Jumble” puzzle. The number of pages varies widely from day to day, so the puzzle hops about er- ratically in daily placement. Never- theless, I roughly estimate that about three-quarters of the time the paper opens at random directly to the “Jumble,” especially when I do not make the least effort to direct the opening. The phenomenon also occurs frequently when I consult Iit the dictionary.—Nat Rapport, Ja- maica, N. Y. NO ICE METEORS Ice meteors are an impossibility due to the fact that in a vacuum the boiling and freezing tempera- ture is the same. This I demonstra- ted back in the 1920’s. A saucer of water was placed under a bell jar and the air was pumped out. As the pressure approached the vacuum stage, the water began to boil and form fingers of ice and steam at the same instant. Under these conditions it is easy to see that, even if icebergs should form in the upper currents of a tor- nado, they must still climb into the stratosphere vacuum before reach- ing the altitude from which meteors are known to come.

I wandered back a little further and then I heard a voice that sounded like a pure crys- tal bell. It said, “Make them take one more picture.” I then saw re- vealed a beautiful barefoot woman with long flowing hair and a silvery white robe. J ran out to Mother who tried to rush me into the car. I argued and fought, determined to follow the an- gel’s advice. To quiet me they did indeed take one more picture. While we were so engaged, a speeding car raced by. Then we left. As we rounded a bend we saw the speed- ing car and several others had been involved in a horrible accident. Had we left when my parents wanted to, we would have been the ones in the accident. Since that time my “crystal voice” (as I now call it) has spoken many times to me, most recently in Ala- bama.about nine months ago. The erystal voice said simply, “Daddy is all right.” I wondered what had happened, but I wasn’t worried be- cause she had said he was all right. Three: days later I received a letter from Mother in Arizona saying Daddy had been bitten by a poison- 113 UATE Cg MIND READING SIMPLIFIED z Another Exciting Gold Seal Publication By Farrar This is a Basic Working Guide fo: Modern People with a Flair for bot!

PULSING LIGHT Mr. Redstone’s letter in your June issue interested me because an in- termittently flaring light in the sky was reportedly observed in the Bos- ton area by several people (in the same spot) while Venus was visible in the same area of the sky on sub- sequent nights. Unfortunately, the observers were unable to say if they also saw Venus at the same time, and there is a suspicion that Venus -was seen flaring because it was viewed through hot gases es- ecaping from a nearby chimney. Whatever Mr. Redstone saw on those evenings last August, it was not Venus, as that planet was a morning star during that month. In any case, Venus is never so far from the sun that it can be seen in the direct south at midnight. At that time both Jupiter and Saturn were near each other in Mr. Red- stone’s south—Alex B. Geddes, Cambridge, Mass. HELP WANTED , Are any of the people who advertise in FATEH willing to help people just for the sake of helping? Every ad calls for money and this I readily understand.

REPORT FROM THE READERS high altitude, 30,000 to 45,000 feet, it leaves behind what is called a contrail. This is a trail of ice erys- tals created by turbulence from the wings in the cold air. These trails will remain in the sky long after the airplane has passed. Now, if there are any cirrus clouds present, as Mr. Wamsley de- scribed, the airplane will be flying above them but will be plainly visi- ble through the very thin cloud lay- er that they form. If the sun is behind the airplane, the shadow of the contrails on the cloud layer below will appear to be a dark path out in front of the airplane. I have seen this happen many times and know that they are not any kind of UFO. Incidently, I have seen and re- ported several real UFO’s. One of my sightings was confirmed, as not Il7 being explainable by usual means, by an Air Force major, who saw the same thing at the same time.— Burton V. Smith, San Francisco, Calif. POWER OF HYPNOSIS I am enclosing a letter from Har- old Lyndi which, to me, is so in- teresting that I thought you might want to publish it. “From my experience in hypnosis - I know that your article, “Can Hyp- nosis Open the Gates of Time?” (FATE, December 1959), is true. “My first experience was in 1955. The subject was a 17-year-old Ha- waiian girl who, although she never had been to the mainland, named streets, cities and states. “Another case was that of a sol- dier who had married a girl in Japan.

As her study progressed, Miss Cerminara discovered that Cayce’s work formed the basis for a new approach to the ancient philosophy of re- incarnation. This approach is the structural basis of her book. In Cayce’s files is probably the most remarkably documented body of psychic phenomena in the world. Here is an exciting and beautiful book, free from cant and self-delusion.

As an experiment I hypnotized a woman who was a total stranger to the soldier and to his wife. Under hypnosis she gave the exact time and date of the wife’s arrival. This took place four months prior to the arrival. “Then there was a newspaperman who gave word for word the head- line of the local paper three days before it appeared. And under hyp- nosis it was predicted six months before the Presidential election that Kennedy would win with 35- million votes. “These feats are nothing new, for the Chaldean, Lama, Shaman and the oriental named Ai-Ching were doing this very thing cen- turies before us. Hypnosis, telepa- thy and teleportation were prac- ticed by these people then. “Good examples of projection in- to the future were Leonardo da Vinci and later Jules Verne. Each of these men must have been under a form of self-hypnosis in order to visualize as he did. “With hypnosis I have sobered drunks and stopped hiccups and headaches.”—Gola H. Roberts, Ft. Scott, Kans. MUSIC BY NIGHT I was very happy to read in FATE that someone else also hears music and radios at night. I have been hearing them periodically for the last two years. One night, only a few months ago, when the house was quiet and everyone was asleep, I awoke sud- denly to hear beautiful music, a man singing, on the radio in my own house. It sounded as if it came from beyond. I got out of bed

REPORT FROM THE READERS and turned on all the lights and then went to look at our radios. They were all shut off. I believe this beautiful music comes from the Spiritual World. What do you think?—Yolanda Pas- tore, Bronx, N. Y. MORE ON THE PENDULUM Fred Gawert’s report on the Mys- tic Eye in the July issue of FATE has stimulated me to further dis- courses about the device. The operation of the pendulum is, evidently, one of scientific value and lends itself to the supposition that a non-material substance per- meates all space. This substance, presumably, can be influenced in some capacity by thoughts. How this principle functions is still a major mystery to me when the results are observed by desires not expressed in words. How the energy of mo- tion is transmitted to the bob is a question. By inquiry directed to the “Mys- tie Eye” I learned that a spherical Christmas tree ornament about three inches in diameter would give the best response. Even a five-pound iron splitting wedge suspended on a rope acted similarly but more slow- ly. Different objects held over a variety of materials gave unexpect- ed motions, even when thoughts were blanked out of the mind while the operator was observing the ac- tivities. A bob made of copper would rotate in either direction while completely immersed in a glass of water; fur- thermore, when the water was stir- red the pendulum could be made to rotate in the direction opposite of that in which the water was moving.

It is the only magazine wherein the public can pierce the fog in which official sources have shrouded 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 development. More than 5000 sightings have been reported to the editors, and new sightings come in daily. Hundreds of these are from repu- table people, airline pilots, scientific experts, even clergymen.

COMPLIMENTED In my reading of FatE I have noticed certain things on which I must compliment you and which I hope you will continue. There are absolutely no snide re- marks about any religion in FATE I have noticed (I am a Catholic my- self) that whatever you say is kind- ly and adheres to what I have learn- ed myself of miracles and such. I am pleased to see that the Protes- tant and Jewish faiths also are treated sensibly and respectfully. Fats contains no cheap “sex-sen- sationalism,” as the saying has it. An average person like myself can carry FATE anywhere to read, as I do, without drawing snickers from people and without having to hide it on meeting an ultra-conservative friend. FATE never sacrifices a grain of truth to make a point. It invariably presents facts for what they are, not as “occult-addicts” would pre- fer to have them.—Wynn Esselborn, Newark, N. J.

Y., for his clean-cut description of one of his astral flights. We do just what Mr. Laub reported in the May, 1962, issue: we take off on astral jour- neys, we fight to re-enter our own body, we get up to drink a glass of water in order to forcibly oblige our own human machinery to work again as a whole, in unity and har- mony. We then record our experi- ence in our very special book before returning to sleep for fear that we'll forget a detail which later might be of value. Hach astral trip contains at least one lesson, given to us for our own progression as well as for the progression of hu- manity. Since we are made of different components, our consciousness acts within different levels according to the vehicle in use. The lower sheath, called “linga sharira” in Sanscrit, “nephesh” in Hebrew, “skia” in Greek, “umbra” in Latin, is very little expandible. When our con- sciousness leaves the body, this sheath acts as the guardian of the body, maintaining life. At death it disintegrates, returning to the glo- bal forces of nature. It is formless, although it can be used by our con- sciousness to assume forms.

Y. expresses the states of the physical body: sickness, a low rate of vi- brations, makes it appear dark gray or black; anger raises its vibrations and: makes it appear red. As it is an intrinsic part of us, it also has to re- enter its abode. Therefore Mr. Laub was fighting with himself alone. It is not feasible that a so-called” dead person can at any time expel the owner of a living physical body because a discarnate person no long- er possesses the physical bonds which are required to cause that effect. However, an incorporeal entity may visit a living physical body with the consent of its owner and under the supervision of his guides. Perhaps the gathering of 100 spir- its around one who obviously was a newcomer, since he still carried with him the idea of fear and fight typi- cal of our earth plane, was the main purpose of Mr. Laub’s guide in taking him on the trip. Perhaps this newcomer was the sick man who had just passed on, and per- haps Mr. Laub helped him in his new situation.—Josette Thomas, Los Angeles, Calif.

There are many theories: ‘There are those who support Shaver in his materialistic honeycomb of cay- erns the world over, heritage of a Titan-Atlan race which fled a poisoned world over 12,000 years-ago. There are those who call his cay- erns the ‘‘astral’’, his dero the spirits of the dead. Some say it is ‘another dimension’’, another realm of life alongside ours, invisible under ordinary circumstances. THE ENTIRE SHAVER MYSTERY Here it is at last!
