A QUESTION ABOUT YOUR FUTURE IS ANSWERED HERE THE ANSWER is spelled out in the pattern formed by the PROPHETIC WANDS OF YI KING as they fall from the hands of the fortune-teller. This pattern will be listed in the Table of the 64 Hexagrams which will direct the fortune-teller to the correct answer in the ancient Rhyming Key to the Hexagrams. The Wands, Table, and Key are a system of prophecy suc- cessful in China for over 3,000 years — and you can be suc- cessful with it today. In fact, the great psychologist C. G. Jung has said that, “ ... meaningful answers are the rule,” with this technique. Dr. Jung himself conducted at least four successful experiments in which his questions were answered by this oracle. The fortune-telling PROPHETIC WANDS OF YI KING are now available to modern students in a complete study kit. Each kit includes six hand-made, ivory-enameled, jet-black acrylic Wands, along with copies of the ancient Table of the Hexagrams and the Rhyming Key. Complete Kit $5.95 The limited supply is offered through the VENTURE BOOKSHOP P.O. Box 671 Evanston, Ill.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH Mere persons, on the whole, are humbugged by believing nothing than by believing too much. P. T. Barnum THOSE BEASTIES T THIS TIME of year we are deluged with various “mon- ster” sightings and usually we write of them with a kind of sympathetic disbelief. The difficulty with “mon- sters” and strange animals being seen where nostrange animals should be is that the witnesses so seldom come up with evidence. As we learn more, however, the areas of our potential belief widen. Very often people are seeing some- thing. Others, of course, are work- ing their imaginations overtime. There is no imagination, how- ever, connected with the four-foot, 50 pound shark-like creature that was caught in the St. Clair River at Detroit on Sunday, June\16. It has been identified as a monkfish, a member of the family that in- cludes sharks, skates and rays. To have arrived at Detroit under its own power this fish would have had to swim 1000 miles in fresh water. ; Dr. Willis Mathews, chairman of the Wayne State University’s biol- Oe ae Ce ajoers @¢e@s By Curtis Fuller ogy department, feels it unlikely that the fish could travel to De- troit—even by means of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Monkfish never have been known to survive in fresh water. He suggests that it is “possible” the fish got to the St. Clair River “by some means other than swim- ming.” What other means? The same means by which frogs and fish fall in rain storms? It is significant that even though the monkfish isn’t known to survive in fresh water, this one seemed to be enjoying it. It was caught by Harold Kiss on a No. 14 hook baited with a sucker. He said it

CO THE FIN “THING” RE OTHER SEA creatures moving into the Great Lakes, assisted by the St. Lawrence Sea- way? It seems possible. The his- tory of the sea lamprey which has decimated the whitefish and lake trout population of the lakes is a case in point. In Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair, late in the spring, between 300 and 400 telephone calls were received by the Marina News about a “finned” creature swimming in the lakes. Observers describe a sort of “ribbed sail’? cutting through the water, leaving a slight wake. It appeared to be sticking up into the air a foot or so. Photographs have been taken but so far no one has had a look at the creature attached to the bottom of the “sail.” Indeed, reports have been so numerous there may be more than one of the “sails” swim- ming about. Maybe there is a whole school of monkfish there! *k x * Oe" ODD things dredged up from Lake Erie recently are a series of jelly-like creatures or colonies shaped much like a giant doughnut and about the size of a widened life buoy. They are dark

I SEE BY THE PAPERS — brown with scattered grey mark- ings and a web-like growth in the middle hole. About two dozen have been found where apparently none were known before. Canadian authorities think they may be re- lated to the sponge family but as far as we know they have not been precisely identified. CO THE CAT “THING” MORE CONVENTIONAL type monster has turned up near Fort Wayne, Ind., where, dur- ing the middle of June, Sheriff Custer Dunifon mustered about 40 volunteers to search the southeast- ern section of Allen County for lion-like animals reported by a number of residents. Dunifon said that the descrip- tions boiled down to “two animals with long tails and catlike heads.” Some dogs were molested by the animals but no livestock had been killed and there were no reports of escaped show animals in the area. This is the kind of report that is repeated year after year all over the country. Monsters resembling cats are the most frequent. Very often footprints (rarely precisely identified but seldom those of dogs) are reported. And yet prac- tically never is there any physical evidence that can be seen or photo- graphed by responsible persons. Does Y our Memory Fail You? A NOTED publisher in Chicago reports there is a simple tech- nique for acquiring a powerful mem- ory which can pay you real divi- dends in both business and social advancement and works like magic to give you added poise, necessary self-confidence and greater popular- ity. According to this publisher, many people do not realize how much they could influence others simply by remembering accurately every- thing they see, hear, or read. Whether in business, at social func- tions or even in casual conversa- tions with new acquaintances, there are ways in which you can dominate each situation by your ability to re- member. To acquaint the readers of this book with the easy-to-follow rules for developing skill in remembering names, places, figures, dates, busi- ness transactions, or even passages of literary content, the publishers have printed full details of their in- teresting self-training method in a new book, “Adventures in Mem- ory,” which will be mailed free to anyone who requests it. No obliga- tion. Simply send your request to: Memory Studies, 835 Diversey Parkway, Dept. 3187, Chicago 14, Ill. A post card will do. (Advertisement)

Io So what goes on? Do we con- clude that everyone is hallucinated but me and thee? Are hoaxers in operation? Are such creatures mak- ing occasional break-throughs from and reentries into some other di- mension? Are there cougars which ream the whole U.S.? We don’t know but we grow less and less inclined. to dismiss all these reports out-of-hand. CO BELIEVE IT OR NOT IRDS AS WE know are guided by the stars in their night- time migrations. It seems unbe- lievable but true that they seem to be born with inherited star maps and perhaps even computers to guide them across the lonely miles, And now German biologists are telling us that toads have a similar ability to navigate by the stars. They took toads from _ their ponds during mating season and placed them in distant ponds. Ap- parently the transplanted toads did not wish to reproduce and create new generations in the strange wa- ters. Invariably they left the new ponds on the second or third night to migrate to their home waters. What wouldn’t an astronaut give for this ability? CGO HOW MYTHS ARE BORN O”’ MONDAY night, May 13, a Burlington Railway train FATE was running at 70 m.p.h. through the south end of the Burlington yards in St. Paul, Minn. Suddenly the figure of a man loomed in the darkness directly in the path of the locomotive. The train hit him head on. Brakes squealed, the train pulled to a halt. But when trainmen re- traced their steps they found— nothing. There seemed to be a de- pression in the gravel where a body might have landed. The front of the locomotive had a mark in the dust where a man-shaped object had been struck. But there was no dent, no victim, no blood. So might have started a legend for which no answer could be found. Except that the “man” later turned out to be a dummy placed on the tracks by pranksters who then had spirited the “victim” away. io a) TWISTER? : Lo A. JOHNSON lives at 6223 Pineway; Houston, Tex., and served four years in the Marine Corps during World War II.

ew Pitreducing a Lnthly HEALING MAGAZINE This international magazine is devoted to the simple explanation of WHY healing seems to fail. All the articles in this 100-page magazine, dealing with heal- ing in its widest possible sense, have in common this intriguing theme. One understands, as one reads these thought-stimulating pages, how by the exercise of simple understanding, people long since given up by orthodox medicine, who do not respond to Spiritual Healing, or the other ways of unorthodox healing, can be helped and healed. Articles dealing with the mind and body in an entirely new way show the complete integration of every gland, organ, nerve and muscle in the body and how every cell in the body is governed by our state of mind. Truths are revealed that will prove of inestimable value to practising healer, student and patient alike. Another of the aims of ‘‘Light Within’ is to give the public the opportunity of understanding just what this New Age does hold for them, thus enabling them to keep abreast of all happenings, so that changes may be met with understanding rather than with fear and ap- prehension. The magazine aims to help in the transi- tion from the old way of thinking to the way of thought which belongs to this New Age of Understanding.

Suddenly other motorists on the highway saw Johnson’s automo- bile lifted into the air, turned com- plete about, and set back down on the highway—now he was travel- ing 55 m.p.h. in the opposite di- rection. “T can’t even describe the sen- sation,’ Johnson said. “When I realized what had happened, and that I’d come down partly on the shoulder of the road, I put the car into lower gear and eased to a stop. I didn’t think the car was dam- aged but when I got to Houston, I found the oil pump wasn’t working too well.” Eye witnesses felt that a tornado must have swooped down capri- ciously and picked up Johnson’s car. But no one saw any tornado. John- son didn’t see a tornado either but he explained that “the trees are so high on both sides of the road you couldn’t see one.” Now this is an amazing story. First of all, there is absolutely no evidence that there was a tornado. A tornado is suggested as the cause because it is the only apparent ex- planation that satisfies our con- cept of reality. But consider the difficulties. No one saw a tornado. And mighty few tornados are able to lift a two- ton automobile into the air. Fur- thermore, consider that almost in- stantaneously an automobile going 55 m.p.h. in one direction is going
Page 13
I SEE BY THE PAPERS 55 m.p.h. in the opposite direction. The shift in speed totals 110 m.p.h. without damage to car or occupant. This seems all but impossible, for the fact that the automobile was turned in the air would not affect its direction of travel. It should have continued travelling 55 m.p.h. south, the forces of inertia unaf- fected by the half-twist. Two other observations also sug- gest it was not a tornado. The fact that the automobile was turned” only half-way is evidence against because a tornado with enough force to lift a two-ton automobile should have been spinning rapidly. Furthermore, how could a tornado with that force move through trees that Johnson believes screened it from view, without also lifting a few trees? The difficulty here, of course, is that if it wasn’t a tornado, what was it? Fate exists to ask this kind of question. We only wish we could give the answers as easily. oO GHOSTS AND SUCH ARMAN THE ghost is a harm- less spook who has been quiet- ly haunting a Tudor manor-house at Little Gaddesden, England. Jar- man committed suicide for love of . the heiress of Ashridge, say the citizens of Little Gaddesden.

Recently the villagers did Jar- man a good turn. The manor house where he “or it” reputedly lives has been the pride of Little Gad- desden. When a builder applied for a permit to construct a modern home next door the local citizens felt it would be inappropriate be- side the beautiful old structure. The villagers fought the new de- ; velopment but instead of relying on the usual arguments of architec- tural integrity, historical value and the like, they claimed the residence would disturb Jarman. Sir Keith Joseph, Britain’s Minister of Hous- ing, sided with Jarman. cach meek SPOOK OF another sort is reputedly haunting the 50- year-old frame house of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Matthews of Kes- wick, Ont., Canada, and their four children. Late in May, according to Mrs. Matthews, the “entity” first made its presence known. A brown skull and crossbones appeared on the kitchen floor. Later a brown stain resembling a woman. wearing an old-fashioned hoop skirt appeared on a wooden kitchen chair. Cupboard doors have been open- ing, dishes in the cupboards have been rattling, knocks have been heard at the front door (with no one to account for them). But now
Page 15
I SEE BY THE PAPERS the skull and crossbones, after get- ting steadily brighter, have disap- peared, and Mrs. Matthews hopes this is an omen. “We've had bad luck since we moved into this house 13 years ago,’ Mrs. Matthews says. “But lately our luck is changing and per- haps all of these unusual happen- ings are an evil spirit preparing to leave the house.” oo) SALUTE DR.

FATE viving remnants of the religion of the ancient pre-Christian peoples of western Europe. io a) WITCHCRAFT TODAY HE DIFFICULTY of submerg- ing such ancient beliefs is dramatized by events which occur regularly in our “modern age.” _, In Ciudad Victoria, Mexico, in the month of June, federal police uncovered a cult which apparent- ly has been responsible for at least six human sacrifices—perhaps as many as 12. Two of the cult’s mem- ‘bers were burned at the stake, oth- ers were beaten unconscious and their living hearts ripped from their bodies. This seems like a weird mixture of ancient Indian sacrifice and ancient European witch lore. The last public witch-burning in Europe seems to have occurred in Switzerland 170 years ago, but witchcraft still plays an important part in the lives of many people. This seems especially to be true in Germany where Johann Kruse, in a recent article in the Hessian Criminal Police Gazette, charges that almost every town in Germany still has its witch and almost every village its “devil’s servant.” Up to 70 lawsuits involving witchcraft are before German courts every year —but the defendants are only a fraction of an estimated 10,000
Page 17
I SEE BY THE PAPERS witch doctors still believed to be operating in Germany. Kruse has singled out particular- ly for attack a book called the Sixth and Seventh Book of Moses which gives detailed instructions for. banishing witches, and which Dr. Herbert Schaefer of the Ger- man Federal Police headquarters staff says has played a role in pro- moting “superstition.” Experts say the Moses book is a forgery. \o 2) END GATE? T IS THE thesis of a recent book called Dawn of Magic, which has had remarkable success in France, that superhuman beings —mutants from human stock— are probably living among us ordi- nary humans today and that the world may never be the same again as a result of their influence. One may well hope so, but this theory of Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier, the authors of Dawn of Magic, cannot be true if the counter-theory of a Harvard University biologist is valid. Dr. Ernst Mayr says it is un- likely that the human race ever will evolve into a race of supermen because all evidence suggests that the human brain has stopped grow- ing.

FATE Mayr reports that the most im- portant trend during two million years of man’s evolution from the man-like apes was the rapid in- crease in the size of his brain—an increase of three to four times. “But this increase in brain size stopped about 100,000 years ago and there is no evidence that the brain has improved in any way since then,” Dr, Mayr says. “Bet- ter brains suddenly became less important in evolution.” Maybe so, say Pauwels and Bergier, but they offer evidence that mutants probably exist among us who must, in self-protection, de- liberately choose to hide their real identity. They point out that con- siderable areas of the brain are little used if at all—except possibly by geniuses—which is what makes them geniuses. It certainly seems true that while the size of man’s brain lifts him above the apes, there is abso- lutely no correlation among hu- mans between brain size and in- telligence. Furthermore, 100,000 years may be but a few minutes in terms of development of a new species. oo) FROZEN IMMORTALS OT LONG AGO a science fic- tion magazine seriously pro- posed construction of huge locker plants for the quick freezing of the

OW CAN A SIMPLE experi- ment solve the riddle of the earth’s creation? In the United States, it would demand an appro- priation from Congress and a bil- lion dollar research laboratory. But let us consider an experi- ment being conducted at the In- stitute of . Geochemistry of the Academy of Science of the USSR designed to reproduce the processes of the geological evolution of our planet. The experiment required 120 hours, 20 grams of ground up meteorite and a fairly simple setup. Academician A. Vinogradov asked: “How did the planetary matter segregate into several shells? (The latest geophysical methods of sounding our globe indicate it con- sists of a core surrounded by a “mantle” and a “crust.’’) Vinogradov answered his own question in a recent issue of Soviet Union. “Most scientists believe that the earth was formed through the condensation of cold meteoric dust, which later underwent sub- stantial transformations due, main- ly, to the heat generated by radio-
Page 21
I SEE BY THE PAPERS active elements. This heat soon caused deep-lying rock partially to melt. The more fusible and volatile substances floated to the surface, refractory components gravitated downwards, Thus were formed the different terrestrial strata, includ- ing the crust, hydrosphere and at- mosphere.” But how to test this hypothesis? Vinogradov’s experiment actually attempted to duplicate the process in miniature. He took 20 grams of powder ground from the stony Saratov meteorite, compressed the powder, and placed it in a quartz tube where it was heated by means of a high frequency coil moving slowly along the tube. This is the method of zone melting, widely used to purify substances. As the smelting proceeded a segregation of the meteoric matter took place. Vinogradov reported: “Aluminum, silicon, potassium, so- dium, uranium and many other ele- ments moved to one end, where a crystalline mass was formed, re- sembling in composition the basalts of the earth’s crust. The refractory residue produced an olivine rock rich in magnesium and iron, re- sembling the layers below the crust. The volatile substances, wa- ter, nitrogen and argon, which evolved in the melting formed two other spheres: the hydrosphere and the atmosphere.” by GINA CERMINARA author of Many Mansions and The World Within MANY LIVES, MANY LOVES With lucidity, humor and emi- nent common sense, Dr. Cermin- ara explores the latest develop- ments in the field of reincarna- tion and parapsychology. She re- ports on contemporary living psychics, among them one gifted in reading the minds of animals; surveys reincarnation as a theme in literature; presents data from the field of LSD research; and deals with the methodology of general semantics as an important corrective for some of the confu- sions of our time. “In some re- spects even better than the ex- traordinary Many Mansions.’— Morey Bernstein, author of The Search for Bridey Murphy.

22 Vinogradov warns that he does not want to draw hasty conclusions from his experiment but he be- lieves that it prepares the ground for a “verification of some of the more widespread cosmological the- ories.” Equally important is the stun- ning simplicity of the experiment, conducted without massed teams of scientists or vast sums of money. Perhaps the days of lone scientists making great discoveries with sim- ple tools and good brains are not gone after all. oe) DUST OR SLAG? HAT ACADEMICIAN Vino- gradov has done, of course, despite his modesty, is to reproduce in microcosm the creation of the world. If his experiment is valid, it may not be necessary to drill through the earth’s mantle to find out what it and the interior are like. Many other problems are crying for equally brilliant and simple ex- periments. | What is the moon like, for ex- ample? If the earth was made from an accumulation of meteors then isn’t it likely the moon was too? Except that the moon is known to be light weight compared with the earth. In May, two USS. scientists speculated that the moon was covered with a blanket of dust up to three feet thick. Not so, says FATE Soviet Scientist V. V. Sharnov; ra- dio astronomical observations have confirmed the presence of slag and so it must be slag that covers the moon. Can an experiment find out? CO GRAVITY MACHINES HEN IT COMES to free- wheeling speculation it is hard to beat Dr. Freeman J. Dyson, British-born theoretical physicist at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N.J. Other civilizations, if they exist, must have reached levels of de- velopment beyond our imagination, Dr. Dyson believes. He reasons that in terms of our solar system’s life expectancy, our own technol- ogy is but a few seconds old. Four years ago, Dr. Dyson sug- gested that an advanced civiliza- tion would have the means to re- distribute the material of which its planets were made to form a shell that completely enclosed its par- ent sun. Population pressures would require such an effort, he said. Recently he suggested that such civilizations might be using gravity machines instead of sunlight as their chief sources of power. Imag- ining a civilization orbiting around pairs of dim stars known as white dwarfs, which have tremendous gravitational energy, he said that a space vehicle could be orbited around one of these stars in the

Ultraviolet observations have eliminated that possibility. What is the blue haze? @ The dark areas of Mars reflect two absorption bands in the infra- red light spectrum typical of hydro- carbons, which hints at the pres- ence of plants. But all attempts to detect absorptions typical of chlo- rophyll, the green stuff of Earth- type plants, have failed. ® The spring awakening of Mar- tian ‘“‘vegetation” migrates south- ward from the pole instead of in the opposite direction, as happens on Earth. What could account for that? @ The “dark” areas of Mars dark- en in the summer, which leads some scientists to believe they are cov- ered with “vegetation.” Yet they warm up at noon and cool off at night just as fast as the nearby reddish areas and a half hour after midday are about eight degrees hotter than the red areas, thought to be deserts.

* JEANE DIXON Crystal Graver for US. Presidents yy RE ~~ President Franklin Roosevelt asked her for a sitting—and learned the date of his death. EANE DIXON —the Capital Seer — Washington’s wealthy, amateur soothsayer who accurate- ly predicted the date of Franklin Roosevelt’s death at his own re- quest in a closed-door session at the White House, apparently has predicted the death or assassination of President Kennedy. ‘Perhaps unfortunately for the President, Mrs. Dixon has a record of dread accuracy in predicting dis- asters for world leaders. She fore- saw the deaths of Supreme Court Justice Frank Murphy and of United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold, both in the midst of life, and they died as she anticipated. And, of course, she gave President Franklin Roosevelt a never-before-revealed reading at his request. The. Kennedy prophecy is an in- ference based on a 1956 prediction Condensed from THE DOOR TO Wy jess eSiah ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jess Stern was for many years a special- feature writer for the New York Daily News. He has been an associate editor~of News- week Magazine, winning the Page One Award in journalism. He helped unmask the “mad bomber” in 1957, disclosed the recent “payola” scandal, and his series of articles on juvenile delinquency won the Silurian Award. ke kkk of Mrs. Dixon’s first published by Parade magazine. The reporter had asked Mrs. Dixon to forecast the results of the 1960 Presidential elec- tions, and this was the answer: “As for the 1960 election . . . it will be dominated by labor and won by a Democrat. But he will be assassi- nated or die in office, though not necessarily in his first term.” The italics are mine.

of her wonders. Living in Wash- ington, where she operated a pro- fitable real estate business, she be- came known as the Capital Seer. Over the years she had read for many of the biggest figures in the passing Washington parade— Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, Estes Kefauver and Everett Dirksen. She had correctly predicted ev- ery presidential election in the last 20 years, and confided to friends before the 1960 race that although Nixon would get the votes, he would not become President. In 1948, when Capital status seekers were scratching the Trumans off their guest lists, hers was the lone voice predicting a Truman victory —and her forecast was carried in the Washington newspapers before the event. Hardly knowing the people in- volved, she has predicted murders, suicides, and divorces, and she has forseen disastrous fires, accidents, and drownings. On demand, she has forecast the finish of horse races, and once she visualized the num- ber of a raffle ticket that would win a car—and blithely rummaged through a stack of raffle books un- til she found the right one, for her husband. Without special knowledge, in- terest, or background, she has pre- dicted all manner of world events, ranging from the war in Korea, an anticipated stalemate, to a revolu- tion in Brazil and the partition of India. Her fame is so far reaching that foreign ambassadors have sought appointments with her for their rulers, more eager to see her than visit the White House. Like no other psychic she has functioned in a goldfish bowl. On television once, she told a mocking former U. S. ambassador to Russia that Premier Malenkoy, who had just succeeded Stalin, would him- self be replaced in two years, and she described his successor. At the time, she also predicted that Rus- sia would win the race into outer space before there was any talk about outer space, and added a prediction—which never made the newspapers—that the — Soviets would eventually dictate the peace. Mrs. Dixon uses a crystal ball for her predictions, but can see things just as well by glancing at people, or by communing silently alone. She never goes into trance, though she often prays for the guidance she needs. Her visions come whether she is perfectly relaxed, or under tension. There seems to be no format. She was sitting under a dryer in a Hol- lywood beauty parlor when a lovely actress in the next chair casually mentioned that she was preparing to fly across the continent. Al- though the blonde beauty was a stranger, Jeane reached out a re- 27 Peay | Re
Page 28
straining hand and pleaded, “Don’t make that trip.” A few days later the plane crashed in the mountains, taking the life of Carole Lombard, Mrs. Clark Gable. Jeane’s parents were German immigrants of a practical turn of mind. The father, Frank Pinckert, had made a fortune in Wisconsin lumber, and had retired early, moving to Santa Rosa, Calif. There had been no psychics on either side of the family. Jeane’s older broth- er, Erny Pinckert, had been an All- American football star at the Uni- versity of Southern California and later played professionally with the Washington Redskins. She had four other brothers, and they were all normal. But from childhood Jeane was something special. Marveling at the child’s gift, the family took her to a celebrated gypsy fortune-teller who lived in a covered wagon outside Santa Rosa. The gypsy read the others, and then peering into Jeane’s eyes, picked up the crystal ball and gave it to her. “Someday,” she said, “You will tell others.” Though very much in the lime- light, Jeane has managed to avoid the cult of personality. “The Bible,” she observes, “says that all events are foreshadowed. I’m only the means of communication, and I must keep that communication line clear,” Strengthening this spiritual link, she goes to Mass daily; ministers the education of deserving young- sters, Negro and white alike; grinds up carrot juice for sick old ladies, and personally supervises a dozen pet charities. Even if she needed it, which she obviously doesn’t, she would not take money for her read- ings. “The difference between ex- trasensory perception and spiritual prophecy,” she said, “is material- ism; and the more material you are the less clearly you see.” Just as she has no patience with psychics who misuse their gift, she has no use for psychic researchers who try to entice her into their laboratories. “TI have no interest in card tricks or gadgets that measure brain waves,” she said, “or scien- tists who would make a science of something they know nothing about.” When I met Jeane Dixon for the first time I saw how readily her _ communication channel works. She rose, gave me a piercing look, and said as she took my hand: “Many people have wanted to tell my story, but you are the one I have been waiting for.” I felt a slight chill up my spine —but didn’t pursue the matter at_ the time. There was little, superficially, to distinguish her from many other successful businesswomen. Her movements were quick and bird-

like; she seemed unable to sit still —erabbing telephones, reaching for a pen, snapping out directions. “An overactive thyroid,” I specu- lated. She was dark and slim, with shadows under eyes that held mine evenly without blinking. But she seemed youthful, her age indeter- minate. I had never seen hands like hers. They were seamed with heavy lines, crossing and crisscrossing. Notic- ing my interest, she remarked cas- ually, “A German occultist said people with hands like mine are born only once in 200 years.” Because of the rapport which we established, Mrs. Dixon ulti- mately decided to reveal through me the true story of sitting for Franklin Roosevelt. “I have de- cided to tell you about the session with the President,” she said. “My friends, including a former White House secretary, advised against it, but I made my own decision.” “What influenced you?” I asked. She regarded me with her pene- trating blue eyes. “Whatever pow- er I have,” she said, “was given me to be used for others, and can be taken from me if it is misused.” Her face took on a glow. She smiled, and impulsively. reached over and took my hand. “When I first saw you I sensed that you would bring better understanding of this power—God’s power—to an unbelieving world. And so I must JEANE DIXON—CRYSTAL GAZER . do what T can to help you.” I listened silently, not wanting to do or say anything to break the mood, _ Although it had been many years since she had sat down with the President, their meeting was as fresh and vivid as the day it took place. “Tt was good of you to come,” Franklin Roosevelt had said, as he pointed to a chair next to his. She sat quietly, waiting for him to speak, noticing how careworn he seemed. “For several days, since receiving that first phone call,” she recalled, “I had kept my mind clear, so that all my communica- tion lines would be open.” The President’s desk was bare except for a miniature flag and the figure of an American eagle. He had cleared his desk, and his visi- tor had his complete attention. As they chatted, he seemed intrigued by the lines in her hands. “They are very old hands,” he said. “Yes, they’ve always been old hands,” she agreed. His mood suddenly changed and he turned to the war raging around the world. “Wars,” he observed, “can never bring lasting peace.” She knew that he had not called her in to discuss the war, but she nodded understandingly and said: “Mr. President, if you can make the Russians understand we are their friends, it will save much
Page 30
30 trouble for us all later on.” “Pve had a feeling about Russia for some time now,” he said. “Something I feel quite strongly.” He glanced up with a smile. “Would you call that being psy- chic? This feeling tells me that the Russians will never want to bomb us, and it tells me that our great trouble one day will be with another ally—of both ours and Russia,” “Do you mean China?” she asked. He nodded, and suddenly the voice that had appeared so reso- nant, seemed to tire and fade. He sat a moment staring, and then sighed almost imperceptibly, speaking softly as though thinking to himself: “It is important to fin- ish the things we start in this life.” He looked into space, pausing a moment before he continued. “But as a rule,” he said finally, “man - doesn’t live long enough to com- plete the work so important to him.” = As she sat wordlessly, intently alert, the President toyed with one of the ornaments on his desk, lifted himself a little in his chair, and cocked a quizzical eye at his guest. “Tell me,” he said, in a matter-of-fact tone, “how much time do I have to get my work done?” It was almost as though she had been waiting for the question. Con- FATE centrating deeply, Jeane Dixon reached over and took the Presi- dent’s hand. “I felt an unselfish vibration as big as the world,” she recalled of the man whose politics she had never approved. “His spir- it was strong, though his body fal- tered.” As she held his hand, she felt his eyes on her, waiting for her an- swer. And as that answer came, she weighed the words carefully. “Tf I were in your place,” she said slowly, “I would try to get every- thing done as quickly as possible.” He smiled. “Can you be a little more definite?” Her voice came back crisp and impersonal. ‘‘Not later,” she said, “than the middie of the coming year,” He seemed lost in thought awhile. “I understand,” he said at last. “I had been hoping for more time.” Jeane returned her hand to her lap. “Are there any other ques- tions, sir?” she asked. He smiled again, patting her hand. “You have told me all I need to know.” She got up and bowed. “Thank you for coming,” he said, “and God bless you.” The interview was over. lasted just 20 minutes. At the study door, she took her last look at the President. He was deep in thought, unaware even that It had i

JEANE DIXON—CRYSTAL GAZER 31 she was still in the room. “I felt a great wave of pity” she said, “for the lonely man behind the big desk, for he knew as well as I, the truth of what he had just been told,” Jeane Dixon’s prediction of Dag Hammarskjold’s death became an unfortunate truth during the very time that I was interviewing her. For weeks she had urged friends not to get up in the same plane with the United Nations Secre- tary-General. The day that the newspapers were filled with the news of the Hammarskjold crash I interviewed the vice-president of American Se- curity Trust Company, a man who was said to know witnesses who could attest to the fact that Mrs. Dixon had made this prophecy. Mr. Nicholson had all the re- serve of the banker bracing him- self for a loan. “Can I help you?” he asked carefully. I asked if he knew Mrs. Dixon and he nodded noncommittally. “T understand she told friends of yours that the Hammarskjold plane was about to crash.” He shook his head, and I started up to leave. “No,” he said, “she told me.” I sat down again. “How did she say it?” “She told me not to go up in a plane with Hammarskjold for the next couple of weeks.” “How long ago was that?” “A couple of weeks ago.” “Did she give you any reason?” “She said it wouldn’t be healthy, and’—he drawled softly—“I guess she was right.” Just as clearly, years before Jeane has foreseen the death of Justice Frank Murphy of the U.S. Supreme Court. Murphy was al- ready vacationing in his native Michigan, waiting to be secretly married within a week to a Forest Hills, N.Y., socialite, when Jeane, with the inscrutability of a Nos- tradamus, took the hand of Justice Murphy’s secretary at a Washing- ton dinner party and said sympa- thetically: “T see you with a new job soon, in a new house, and I see the death of an older man very close to you.” The Justice’s secretary, Miss Eleanor Baumgardner, replied that she, “...wouldn’t think of giving up my apartment. And I’ve been with Justice Murphy for 17 years, in Michigan, the Philippines, and Washington, and wouldn’t dream of leaving him. And everybody in my family is well, thank you.” Fleetingly, the thought had crossed Miss Baumgardner’s mind that Mrs. Dixon might have meant Murphy, but the 55-year-old jurist had never seemed in better spirits. “T had the Justice’s wedding ring in my purse,” she recalled, “and was flying out to Detroit that week
Page 32
32 with his fiancee for the wedding.” And then the wire came. The Capital’s most eligible bachelor had suffered a heart attack. “We flew out as planned,” Miss Baumgard- ner said, “but for an entirely dif- ferent occasion.” After the Justice’s untimely death, Eleanor Baumgardner changed her job, joining the Su- preme Court-secretarial pool; then, quite unexpectedly, she became foster mother to a sick friend’s children, and took a house in Georgetown to give the children a home. Thus. fulfilling in its entire- ty Jeane Dixon’s prophecy. Another of Mrs. Dixon’s highly publicized prophecies had yet to be completely fulfilled although it has already come true in an aston- ishing degree. This prophecy was given on a national television pro- gram in answer to a question posed by former U.S. ambassador to Rus- sia, Joseph Davies. With an easy smile, the New Deal’s leading authority on Stalin’s Russia began discussing the recent rise to power of Stalin’s successor, the round-faced, puffy-eyed Mal- enkov. “How long,” he asked with a patronizing grin, “will Malenkoy be Prime Minister?” Jeane peered intently into her crystal ball, and said with an easy conviction that matched the am- bassador’s: “He will be the premier for less than two years, and then FATE he will be removed.” The ambassador’s smile broaden- ed. “No Russian chief of state is ever replaced,” he said with em- phasis. “He either dies, like Stalin, or is shot.” His eyebrows went up. “You know, I happen to know something about this subject. I wrote a book about it.” Jeane stood her ground. “I’m sure you're better informed than I, Mr. Ambassador, but I still see Malenkov being replaced.” She looked Davies in the eye. “And his replacement will be a portly mili- tary man with wavy hair, green eyes, and a goatee.” Davies snorted. “I’ve been in Russia for years,” he said, “and I never saw a Russian who looked like that.” “I’m in no position to contra- dict you,” Jeane retorted, “but that is what I see.” She took an- other look into her crystal ball, and her face suddenly grew grim; her eyes burned with a new inten- sity, and the words now came streaming out. She was oblivious not only of Davies, but of the curi- ous knot of people who had grouped around her, Like a prophetess of old, her voice soared: “I see a silver ball spinning into space, coming out of the East, which leads me to believe that Russia will be the first to put a satellite into orbit. And I see the ball changing into a dove, then
Page 33
_ JEANE DIXON—CRYSTAL GAZER sinking its claws into the scalp of a completely bald man, but not drawing blood. And then, it looks to the East, meaning that someday Russia will determine the peace.” There was an awkward silence as she finally stopped. She had been much too serious for anybody to laugh; her figure, as she tautly held out an arm, far too impressive. And she herself, as she glanced around, was sobered by the realiza- tion of what she had predicted. She had gotten more than she had counted on, but she knew she was right. “The newspapers mentioned the space prediction,” she said later, “but nobody referred to the Russians dictating the peace.” We have yet to realize peace. But the rest of Jeane’s prophecy is now history. Twenty-three months after her televised crystal- gazing, Premier Malenkov was re-— placed by Marshal Bulganin, a portly green-eyed military man with a goatee, and in 1957 the Russians put the first sputnik into orbit. But the science that puts men and machines right out of our world and into space cannot even begin to explain our Jeane Dixon — the Capital Seer. ae THE ESKIMO’S HEALING SONG N EXPERIENCE with Es- kimo spirit healing is re- lated by explorer Farley Mowat in a recently published book, People of the Deer (Colletts, London). The book is the result of Mowat’s researches among “the Ihalmiut Eskimos of the Barrenlands of Northern Can- ada. According to Mowat, the daily lives of the Ihalmiut are rooted in mystical beliefs. He relates that during a wilderness trip with an Eskimo friend named Ootek, he developed severe stomach cramps and feared ap- pendicitis. He was given cups of hot tea by Ootek, but these did little to relieve his pain. At last Ootek suggested that he be allowed to help Mowat by singing his spirit song, or Jrin- jelo. These “songs,” handed down from parent to child, are used by the Ihalmiut to treat the ill. Mowat states he agreed, al- though he had no faith in the healing power of a mere song. Filling a tin cup with water and holding it in front of him, Ootek began to walk around the tent, singing monotonously in a minor key. Occasionally Ootek spoke to the cup, commanding the evil to leave the white man. After some 10 minutes Ootek instructed Mowat to drink the water in the cup. Suddenly, Mo- wat reports, he realized that his pains had gone.

Twice, while arguing with his rival, Carl Jung, the great Sigmund Freud suddenly, strangely fainted. Was he the victim of a psychic attack? By Vidor SP WHY FREUD” pom: ~ FAINTED Carl G, Jung, who Freud _ hoped would be his successor, tablish rival school. 34 Si mund Freud achieved wo wide recognition as the founder of psychoanalysis. Oe OF THE curious puzzles in the history of psychoanal- ysis is why Sigmund Freud, its great founder, fainted twice in the presence of Carl Gustav Jung, who established a rival school. I offer here an unusual theory: Freud did not faint but was made unconscious by Jung’s psychic at- tacks. Over the years only Freud’s ver-
Page 35
sion of how he happened to faint has been available. It was known, for instance, that the faints took place during heated discussions be- tween Freud and the man whom he once expected to be his succes- sor. But now Jung’s own report of these incidents has been revealed in his forthcoming official biogra- phy, Memories, Dreams and Re- flections, As the evidence will establish, Jung previously had demonstrated to Freud certain astonishing abili- ties that suggest Jung was a physi- cal medium. Now that we have obtained the data for a retrospective analysis, let us unravel the psychic story be- hind the long-standing mystery of Freud’s fainting spells. Ernest Jones, Freud’s biographer, records the two faintings out of their chronological order. In Tée Life And Works Of Sigmund Freud (Vol 1., p. 31) he writes first of the fainting in Munich on Novem- ber 24, 1912. His eyewitness ac- count is as follows: “As we were finishing luncheon (in Munich’s Park Hotel), he (Freud) began reproaching the two Swiss, Jung and Riklin, for writing articles expounding psychoanalysis in Swiss periodicals without men- tioning his name. Jung replied that they had thought it unnecessary to do so, being so well known, but 35 = Freud sensed already the first sign of dissension that was to follow later. He persisted, and I remem- ber thinking he was taking the mat- ter rather personally. Suddenly, to our consternation, he fell on the floor in a dead faint. The sturdy Jung swiftly carried him to a couch in the lounge, where he soon re- vived. His first words, as he was coming to, were strange: ‘How sweet it must be to die!’ Another indication that the idea of death had some esoteric meaning for him.” Later, in a letter to Jones, Freud explained that 10 years before, in the same room of the Park Hotel, he had had a very painful experi- ence. He had had his final quarrel with his best friend, Wilhelm Fliess, whose sick bed he came to visit. In other words, Freud attrib- uted his fainting to a sudden inva- sion of his mind by bitter memories that he could not face. The explanation is lame and it misses entirely the outstanding fact that it was in Jung’s presence that he fainted: that this was the sec- ond time it happened, and that on both occasions there was acrimony, with mutual resentment, in the air. The first fainting occurred in Bremen three years before the Munich black-out. About to em-.- bark on a lecture engagement in the United States, Freud, Ferenczi and Jung—the latter having had
Page 36
36 an independent invitation—found themselves together. Freud was the luncheon host. Both he and Fe- renczi argued with Jung. The principal argument was an indelicate invasion of Jung’s pri- vate life. Jung was a teetotaler and neither Freud nor Ferenczi felt there was any sense to the fanatic anti-alcoholic tradition of Burgh- olzli in which Jung was raised. They persuaded him to wine with them. As Jones reports this part of the story: “Freud did his best to laugh him out of it. He succeeded in changing Jung’s previous attitude to alcohol —incidentally with serious after- effects on the relations between Jung and Bleuler—but then fell to the ground in a faint. (Ibid, Vol II., p. 146.) Jones completely fails to realize that this bibulous incident was no laughing matter for Jung. Nor did Freud and Ferenczi understand the breech of manners of which they were guilty. Freud explained later that this faint was caused by the return to his memory of his death wishes against his younger brother, Julius. When Julius had died, his uncon- scious triumphed. Now he had an- other triumph. He won a victory over Jung. As later in Munich, death wishes were under discussion at the mo- ment. This time, Freud actually FATE charged Jung with death wishes against him. Jung denied it and stated that Freud attached too much importance to death wishes. It was during the heat of this dis- cussion that Freud collapsed. Jung’s version of these two faint- ing spells of Freud was not avail- able until now. Atlantic Magazine, November, 1962, published an ad- vance chapter from Jung’s forth- coming posthumous book, Memo- ries, Dreams and Reflections. In the chapter “Jung and Freud,” as recorded by Aniela Jaffé, Jung as- cribes Freud’s fainting in Bremen in 1909 to a discussion of “peat- bog corpses.” He confesses that he had confused these prehistoric corpses with mummies in the lead cellars of the city. Freud got an- noyed and wanted to know why he was so interested in corpses, and then fainted. Afterwards, says Jung, Freud accused him of having death wishes against him. “T was more than surprised by this interpretion; I was alarmed by the intensity of his fantasies, so strong that, obviously, they could cause him to faint.” Jung had reason to be alarmed but he was wrong in thinking the fainting was due to Freud’s fanta- sies. He should have remembered his first visit to Freud a few months earlier. That time, it was he who had been irritated. Freud refused. to take Jung’s parapsychological
Page 37
- WHY FREUD FAINTED interests seriously. Jung says that he had difficulty in checking “the sharp ‘retort’ on the tip of his tongue, and suddenly had a curious sensation: “Tt was as if my diaphragm were made of iron and were becoming red-hot, a glowing vault. And at that moment there was such a loud report in the bookcase, which stood right next to us, that we both started up in alarm, fearing the thing was going to topple over on us. I said to Freud: ‘There, that is an example of a so-called catalytic exteriorization phenomenon!’ ” Freud answered that he was talk- ing nonsense. Jung retorted: “To prove my point I now pre- dict that in a moment there will be another such loud report.” No sooner had he said.it than the same detonation occurred again in the bookcase. Jung says he never found out what made him certain of that pre- diction. He just knew that the re- port would come again. Freud was flabbergasted. From that moment —Jung says—Freud mistrusted him. On the other hand, Jung had a strong feeling that he had done something against Freud. Because of it, he never discussed the inci- dent with him afterwards. This is a fascinating story. When Jung called the detonation a “cat- alytic exteriorization” phenomenon he admitted that it came from with- in himself and that it represented, in an indirect manner, aggression against Freud. He Aad done some- thing against Freud. That is why he never mentioned the subject again. He felt guilty. Jones did not understand this. He heard the story second hand. The day was March 25, 1909. He says that Jung regaled Freud with astonishing stories of his experi- “ences and “also displayed his pow- ers as poltergeist by making vari- ous articles in the room rattle on the furniture. Freud admitted hav- ing been yery much impressed by this feat and tried to imitate it after Jung’s departure. He then found, however, obvious physical reasons for any faint noises to be observed, and he remarked that his credulous- ness had yanished together with the magic of Jung’s personality. He wrote at once to warn his friend (Ferenczi) to keep a cool head in the matter.” (Ibid, Vol. III. p. 383.) Jones’ account is garbled. It shows his ignorance as to what a poltergeist phenomenon is. But if the incident was described with that word by Freud, it may have been instrumental in gaining his in- terest in 1938 for the manuscript __ of my book, On the Trail Of The Poltergeist. For the very apprecia- tive letter he wrote to me I owe then, in a sense, a debt of gratitude to Jung as well. oe

38 It was not the first time that telekinetic phenomena occurred in the presence of Jung. His doctoral thesis in 1899 (“On the Psychology of So-Called Occult Phenomena”) was written on his experiences with a spiritualist medium, his own cousin (which fact—it being a personal involvement—he kept a dead secret from his scientific con- freres). While writing the thesis — ac- cording to Aniela Jaffé in Tomor- row, Spring, 1961 — a heavy wal- nut table split with a crash in the home he was sharing with his wid- owed mother and his sister, and af- terwards a bread knife, stored in a drawer, split into four pieces with a loud bang. Jung’s mother, grandfather and grandmother were mediumistic. They saw ghosts, communicated with spirits and had precognitive experiences. Jung inherited their psychic strain. He had sat with Rudi Schneider in two series of experi- mental: sessions under Baron Schrenck-Notzing’s direction and witnessed materialization and tele- kinetic phenomena. He never published anything on these seances, but he admitted hav- ing seen a ghost in a haunted house in England (Fate, October 1961). His explanation of the specter as a projection of some mental con- tent from his own mind is rather lame. FATE Every sign points to the assump- tion that Jung could be considered a physical medium, hence the ques- tion arises: did he attack Freud in Bremen in the same psychic man- ner in which he produced the de- tonations on Freud’s bookcase a few months earlier in place of the “sharp retort” (report?) that was on his tongue and was so difficult to repress? There is nothing unprecedented in that form of psychic aggression. It happened in my levitation ex- periments with Harry Brown’ in London that a prominent engineer of our research council twice faint- ed after Harry Brown went into trance. I know of other instances in which hostile sitters received in- visible blows and were put out of commission when they planned to play tricks on the medium. If we hypothesize that Jung acted as a psychic battery and delivered a knock-out blow to Freud because Freud forced him to drink wine, we have to look for a similar hostility as existing at the time of Freud’s fainting in Munich in 1912. It is easy to find it in Jung’s own story: “Someone had turned the con- versation to Amenhotep IV (Ikhna- ton). The point was made that as a result of Ikhnaton’s negative at- titude to his father he had destroy- ed his father’s cartouches on the stelae, and that at the back of his great creation of a monotheistic re-
Page 39
WHY FREUD FAINTED ligion there lurked a father com- plex. This sort of thing irritated me.” Jung made a passionate defense of Amenhotep. As he finished, Freud collapsed in a faint. “As I was carrying him he came half to, and I shall never forget the look he cast at me. In his weakness he looked at me as if I were his father. Whatever other courses may have contributed to his faint— the atmosphere was very tense— the fantasy of father murder was common to both cases.” It is odd that Jung should make a father image out of himself for Freud because, by his own confes- sion, Freud frequently indicated at that time that he wanted Jung as his successor, hence a son. The ex- planation might be that Jung al- ready rebelled against Freud’s au- thority and preferred the role of the father to that of the son. As to the death wish against Freud, with which he was charged according to Jones, Jung himself began to wonder after a dream of his that presaged the coming break with the founder of psychoanalysis. In the dream he saw an elderly man appear on the Swiss-Austrian - border in the uniform of an Im- perial Austrian customs officer. The dreamer was told that the old man was not really there, but that he was the ghost of a customs of- ficial who had died years ago. The 39 words used were: “He is one of those who still could not die prop- erly.” On awakening, Jung started as- sociating. The border suggested to him the demarcation line between him and Freud, and the customs official (whose job is to make a rigid examination) he associated with the dream censor of Freud— whose concept he rejected. Freud- ian psychology already was dead to him, but the ghost of Freud still lingered. So Jung asked himself: “Could that be the death wish that Freud had insinuated I felt — towards him? ... I had no reason for wishing him dead. But it was possible ... that the dream recom- mended a rather more critical atti- tude toward Freud. I was distinct- ly shocked by it, although the final sentence of the dream seemed to me an allusion to Freud’s potential immortality.” No one will take the latter state- ment for more than sugar-coating. Jung was on his way to create an independent analytical psychology and his final break with Freud was imminent. It was well that the break did take place. Jung had proved him- self a dangerous man. He had pow- ers over which, when he was in passion, he had no conscious con- trol. In a continued battle Freud’s chances for survival would have been very slim. Freud, at least un-
Page 40
40 consciously, was alive to his danger. In a letter to Jones, dated March 25, 1914, he wrote: “You remember, perhaps, after the Munich Congress I could never utter the name of Jung but had to replace it by Jones.” This was not forgetfulness but a definite defense mechanism. He needed Jones’ scepticism, now ap- pearing as a healthy one, to protect himself against Jung’s “black” magic. If Freud’s faints marked the death of a relationship with Jung, they also may mark with equal precision the death of Jung’s own theory of synchronicity—the theory that promotes Jung’s belief that the character of pst phenom- ena is acausal. In view of his clearly revealed ag- gressive feelings, Jung should have examined these two faints as ex- amples of the theory in action, i.e. as meaningful coincidences of an acausal character. Obviously he could not admit his causal connec- tion with the events. But, inas- much as he was aware of his ability to produce parapsychological phe- nomena, he should have faced the issue, particularly because it was apt to prove him wrong in his sweeping claims of acausality. Parapsychological events are not necessarily acausal. In a paper en- titled “Psi and the Problem of Dis- connections in Science,” delivered FATE at the First International Confer- ence of Parapsychological Studies at Utrecht, Dr. Jule Eisenbud con- cluded that psi phenomena may be considered as being “connectable in what we look upon as casually determined ways” and that Jung’s failure to realize this comes from the curious neglect of the careful observations of other psychiatric psychologists who have reported on psi phenomena—to name but a few, Freud, Stekel, Hollos, Serva- dio, and Ehrenwald as well as my- self. Each of these, among others, has been able to show that it is possible to patternize (i.e. connect) psi events according to the same rules by which we connect other behay- ioral events in and among humans, this irrespective of what psi “real- ly” is, what it comes from, what is “behind” it... “Viewing psi correspondences against a backdrop of everyday, al- most prosaic but nonetheless pur- posive strivings ... leads to a con- cept of psi occurrences being as orderly and, in this sense, as law- fully connected with other events as any other occurrences in a uni- verse to which we are wont, for better or worse, to impute a deter- ministic (casual) character.” This means that the causal ele- ment behind psi is a force the bio- logical character of which we do not yet know but the existence of
Page 41
WHY. FREUD FAINTED which cannot be doubted. In the two instances of Freud’s fainting the discharge of this bio- logical force was as affective as an electric shock, and potentially even - deadlier. Jung may. have sensed that, based on his own psychism, 40 this simple objection to his theory of synchronicity would be voiced, and wisely avoided facing it just as Freud came to avoid facing even the use of Jung’s name. All of this I conclude from Sigmund Freud’s famous faints. C9 NEW THEORY ON TEKTITES HE ORIGIN of tektites, oddly shaped glassy objects found strewn in various parts of the world, has been an intrigu- ing and long-standing mystery. Until recently two hypotheses to explain tektites have gained the most adherents in scientific circles. One of these hypotheses holds that- tektites are fragments of material splashed into space by the impact of giant meteorites on the moon. According to the other hypothesis, tektites are fragments of terrestrial rock splashed high into the atmos- phere by giant meteorites strik- ing the earth. These explanations now ap- pear to be ruled out as the re- sult of a new analysis by Ernst W. Adams and Robert M. Huf- faker of the National Aeronau- tics and Space Administration. Although they accept the theory that tektites have been shaped aerodynamically while travel- ing through the atmosphere in molten form, Adams and Huf- faker argue that if tektites or- iginated as drops splashed from the moon, the fragments would not be confined to relatively limited “corridors” as they are now. The two researchers be- lieve that a terrestrial origin for tektites also is ruled out, be- cause it would require a violent event of “unlikely” magnitude. Instead they offer the theory that “tektites were released as liquid droplets from the ablating surface of a hypothetical par- ent body in skipping flight through the Earth’s atmos- phere.” The hypothetical body, they state, may have been a giant meteorite which entered the atmosphere at such an angle that it skipped several times be- fore striking.

eect a OUT THE AUTHOR OMBIES CAN BE rrational- ized. At least a semi-logical ex- planation can be offered on behalf of these so-called “living dead.” But the loup-garou, the werewolf of Haiti, poses a problem. I can only detail my experiences; interpreta- tion lies in hypothesis. Haiti, in February, 1944, was not the tourist stop it is today. In Cap Hatien, tucked away in the rugged northeast corner of this Negro republic, the citoyen went of the Loup-Garou a, by Farley James In the house next door, if I were to believe the Haitians, lived a loup-garou, or werewolf — and when it visited me, I had to believe! 42 stoically about their business. To them the war existed, certainly, but pas ici, not here. The Autobahn was the road to Berlin but in Cap Hatien the Au de Cap Road led to market. I first learned of the werewolf when I rented a house in the Bel Air section of the Cape. Here, astride the road leading to the ruins of the huge castle built by Napoleon for his sister, houses were scarce. The narrow, dusty
Page 43
any road, bounded by the ocean on one side and a sheer cliff on the other, boasted few inhabitants. From my veranda the restless sea glimmered through the vivid foliage of a flamboyant tree. To the left twined a lush tangle of jungle; at the rear of the house loomed the’ cliff. Twenty yards to my right crouched the house of the loup-garou. It seemed rather a small house, only one story high. A breadfruit tree spread protecting branches over its slanting roof. The uncur- tained windows peered, like sight- less eyes, over a crumbling stone wall in the front of which was set a wrought iron gate. The few Haitians who passed did so with quickened pace and lowered heads. And each soul made the sign of the cross as he came abreast the gate. Knowing the Haitian penchant for employing this sign as a talis- man against evil spirits, I deter- mined to learn the reason for this. .My source of information, as al- ways in such matters, was my chauf- feur, Fetius Jean. Together we had tracked the elusive zombie and I had come to rely upon his courage and cool judgment. In response to this question however, Fetius start- .ed nervously and glancing in the » direction of the house crossed him- self. Then, bit by unwilling bit the legend of the loup-garou unfolded. 43 The house, explained Fetius, had been empty for several years. The Owner was an officer in the Garde de Haiti and, consequently, a per- son of some social standing. To the peasants, however, he was known as a loup-garou, a wolf man. Now, the loup-garou is compara- tively rare in Haiti. It is nocturnal, venturing abroad only when the moon has reached it’s zenith. Bathed in a phosphorescent green cloud it is capable of covering vast distances. Vampirical, it feeds on human blood, preferably the blood of children. The apparition, Fetius contin- ued, had been observed frequently in the house and about the grounds during the time of M — ’s resi- dence. Fanned by fear, the flames of violence had begun their dance to the pulsing throb of the Rada drums as the peasants plotted the destruction of their nemesis. Aware of.the temper of these fierce north- erners, the hard core of many re- volutions, Colonel —, the com- manding officer, had prudently transferred M — to the garrison at Port au Prince. Thus, ostensibly, the menace was removed and in- dolence regained possession of the streets. Until the return of the loup- garou! A young Haitian couple with a year-old child leased the house and | (> an Ss Lae

promptly moved in. Strangers to Cap Hatien, they had made the long journey from Aux Cayes in the south. A camion unloaded their belongings and they spent the first day getting settled in their new home. That night, with the child asleep in his crib, they retired early, fatigued by their efforts. Sometime during the night they were roused by the shrill screams of the child. Rushing to the crib they found it empty! The child was gone! Frantic with fear they searched and found the baby on the floor, just outside the doorway, appar- ently dropped there by it’s molester during a hasty flight. It was un- injured except for two shallow punctures in the throat which bled sparingly. As they laid the child back in it’s crib they became aware of a rapidly receding greenish glow and smelled the faint but pungent odor of brimstone. Now recognizing the nature of the marauder they huddled, terror stricken, through the balance of a seemingly endless night. At dawn the man went into the town and engaged a camion. By the time the sun streamed in the windows the house was, again, empty. So it had remained empty these past few years. Often at night, said Fetius, the eerie green glow was seen floating past the windows and flickering FATE through the yard, fleetingly visible behind the masking wall. Fetius pleaded with me to aban- don my new quarters. He feared the lowp-garou would seek to harm me as a transgressor, In reply I suggested that he spend a few nights at the house with me and together we would stalk my ghost- ly neighbor. Shaking his head he backed away and, surprised by his obvious terror, I dismissed him for the day. Davius, my houseboy, prepared dinner and after he had washed the dishes I sent him home; his relief was quite apparent. Closing the large wooden door I dropped the heavy latch bar into place. After extinguishing the light I retired to my bedroom which was separated from the mdin room by a louvred door. Closing the door behind me I undressed rapidly, climbed through the mosquito net- ting and fell into bed. Sleep came willingly and immediately. Sometime later I awoke abruptly and sat bolt upright in the bed; a sound had penetrated my sleeping senses. As I sat there, in groggy confusion, the sound came again. Something was pushing against the front door! I distinctly heard the rattle of the latch bar as the door yielded. Throwing aside the netting I leaped to the floor fumbling frantically for the loaded .45 on the night

THE HOME OF THE LOUP-GAROU table. My fingers closed on the comforting feel of the cold metal and, releasing the safety, I reached quietly for the handle of the con- necting door. Suddenly the light in the other room blazed into brilliance. Certain the intruder had gained the house I threw open the door and rushed into the room. It was empty! The naked bulb swung forward and back causing the shadows to writhe and twist in frenzied aban- don. The latch bar was still in place, seemingly undisturbed. Re- moving it, I opened the massive door and stepped onto the veranda. In the faint light of the crescent moon the branches of the flam- boyant tree gestured warningly of the perils abroad in the night. But the darkness was still, no rustle of furtive movement intruded upon it’s serenity. Turning to re-enter the house I was startled to see a light hovering in the window of the empty build- ing beyond the wall. My first im- pression was of a flashlight in the hands of someone moving about within the house. Then my hackles rose as I saw that the light was diffused rather than direct and was green in color. Simultaneously I became aware of an unpleasant bite in my nostrils. Jé was, un- mistakably, brimstone! Panic seized me and I rushed back into the house and hastily barred the door. Until dawn I sat in the harsh light of the stark bulb with the .45 cocked and ready in my hand. When Davius arrived at 7:00 A.M. I refrained from mentioning the weird happenings of the night. Nor did I inform Fetius Jean when he arrived with the car. I met his inquiring glance with a smile and a sham aura of confidence. Truth- fully, I was still very much shaken but I was determined to seek an early answer to the mystery. That same afternoon, on my way home from the sisal fields, I stopped at the house of Dr.—, the Anglican missionary. The good man had gone to Bayeux for a few days but his daughter, and her two stalwart brothers were at home. I invited them to dine with me promising some excitement in lieu ~ of dessert and they accepted with alacrity. My incomparable Davius sur- passed himself in their honor and ~ we dined exceedingly well. Following his departure I detail- ed the events of the previous night to Audrey, David and George. Familiar with the legend of the loup-garou their excitement mount- ed as I disclosed my plan. An un- expected visit by Raphael — and his sister, Estelle, added reinforce- ments and they enthusiastically joined our ranks. :
Page 46
46 We decided to extinguish the lights and sit quietly on the veran- da to await the appearance of the loup-garou. Darkness fell, the trade winds blew caressingly from the sea and, as always, subsided sud- denly. The moon began its ascent of the heavens. The only sound was the faint groan of the branches of the flamboyant tree. We con- versed in subdued whispers, all eyes straining intently toward the house of the loup-garou. David caught the first dim flick- er and his sibilant hiss warned the others. Then we all saw the un- dulating green glow as it passed first one window then another of the presumably empty house. It had been agreed that, togeth- er with the boys, I would investi- gate the house while the girls watched from the safety of the veranda. David and George were armed with stout canes, Raphael brandished a machete and I carried the bulky .45. Silently we moved off the veranda as the girls huddled together in mutual support. In accordance with our pre-ar- ranged plan, Raphael posted him- self at the rear of the house, David and George scaled the walls at ei- ther side and I entered through the front gate. Certain that our prey would prove to be nothing more than a vagrant, I expected that, flushed from cover, he would break for the main entrance. FATE The gate squealed in rusty pro- test and abruptly the light appear- ed at a front window and as quick- ly vanished. “Now,” I shouted and leaped for the front steps. The door was un- locked and I plunged through just as the boys hurtled through the windows. The room was empty! The light had disappeared! All that remained of our quarry was a faint, sulphuric tang of brim- stone. Meticulously we searched each of the three small rooms. Lay- ers of dust, undisturbed by foot- prints, covered the floors. Rejoin- ing us, Raphael swore that no one had left the house by the rear either before or during the assault. Before leaving, each of us veri- fied the odor in the house and iden- tified it as brimstone. David and George stated that they too had observed the light before leaping down from the walls. Back on the veranda, the girls confirmed Ra- phael’s report. No one had left the house. We settled down again to await a possible re-appearance of the spectre. And we were not disap- pointed! Three times in the next two hours the light appeared and each appearance was followed by our stealthy attack. We saw nothing, the dust re- mained undisturbed except for our
Page 47
THE HOME OF THE LOUP-GAROU AZ footprints. Each time, however, we noted the by now familiar scent of the Joup-garou. Finally, at midnight, we gave up the chase and, swearing each other to confidence, we said goodnight and parted. Retiring, I slept soundly and if I was visited during the night I was not disturbed. For the two months I remained neighbor to the loup-garou I saw the light on numerous occasions, Always I wondered; often I was afraid. I made no further attempts to investigate the phenomenon. I deemed it safer to accept the evi- dence of the poltergeist without substantiation. And my decision to move away was prompted by the repetitious events which occurred several nights each week. The rat- tle of the door latch, the unpredict- able behavior of the light in the living room, loud thumpings on the roof and walls of my house all com- bined to fill me with nervous ten- sion. Even more frightening was the constant odor of brimstone. I began to fear for my personal safe- ty and well being. Certain that, ra- tionalize as I might, the thing was after me, I allowed discretion to overcome valor and retired from the field. On a rainy April morning, as Fetius waited nervously in the car, I took a last long look at my mys- terious neighbor and departed. As we drove past the gate of the house of the JlJoup-garou, uncon- sciously I joined Fetius in a swift gesture. I crossed myself. aes Coming next issue: Frederick J.

But over a million fol- lowers of the Mighty I AM religious movement once called this same rogue “Beloved,” and believed that he guided the destiny of their move- ment. I do not doubt that the ancient Count would have enjoyed leading I AM and its still-prosperous ac- tivities, for I AM has been depict- ed as a veritable rogue among re- ligions by a series of law suits and criminal actions. In truth, the destiny of I AM has been shaped more by the con- temporary Ballard family than by any ancient adept. Three Ballards are important to this movement: Ballard 48 COUNT ST.

SE Germain Guy W., his wife Edna, and their son Donald. Guy W. Ballard, also known as Dick Gilbert, Ray Richards, God- fre Ray King, King of the Ancient Sahara Kingdom and _ Beloved Daddy, was born in Kansas on July 24, 1878. His boyhood was spent in Iowa and he developed a lively interest in the occult. Mov- ing to Chicago, he took up magic and fortune telling. However, these were not lucrative fields for Guy and he turned to the promotion of oil wells and gold mines. Due to the fact, however, that the property which he sold was, at best, of speculative value, on March 25, 1929, the Cook County Grand Jury presented an indict-

ment against him for money and goods by means of the confidence game.” Ballard fled the state and took up residence in Los Angeles under an alias. Edna Ballard, also known as the more exciting titles of Joan of Arc, Chanera, Little Dynamite and Lo- tus Ray King, had exhibited early musical tendencies which took her into vaudeville as a concert harpist. This was her field when she met Guy in 1916 and married him— he was six years older—shortly thereafter. On May 12, 1918, the third fig. ure of the trio was born. Donald Ballard, christened Edona Eros Ballard, was the Ballard’s only child. After Guy’s flight, his wife took ~ refuge as a bookseller in “The Phi- losopher’s Nook.” The store, which was operated by her sister-in-law, specialized in occult literature. In her spare time, Edna amassed a wide knowledge of occult and meta- physical literature. This so in- spired her that in the early 1930’s she ventured at publishing two magazines, The American Occultist, and The Diamond. In addition, she began lecturing to a group of about 10 persons. This was the beginning of the “Mighty I Am” movement. During her lectures, she told about the mystical messages she re- ceived from the great “Ascended “obtaining: 49 Edna Ballard and her son, Donald, smile after trial for mail fraud in 1941 re- sulted in deadlocked jury. UPI Photo. Master,” Count St. Germain. It was, perhaps, because of the fact that the author is a direct de- scendant of this notorious charac- ter that he became interested in the movement. Whereas metaphy- sicians and devotees of the occult revere the Count, the author’s an- cestors disowned him as a character somewhat akin to a horse thief. Whether you like or dislike Count St. Germain, one cannot deny the fact that he was a most intriguing and daring scoundrel. He was highly esteemed by King Louis XV of France and was well known to most of the crowned heads of Europe. Among his friends was Catherine the Great of Russia.
Page 50
50 His origin is clouded in mystery but he lived by his wits, unmiti- gated brass and a persuasiveness that puts him at the head of all con men of history. Possibly, because the Count was considered to be the founder of Freemasonry, his fame has en- dured. He is and has been for many years the darling of occult groups. Edna Ballard’s messages from him undoubtedly were in- spired by correspondence from her husband in California relating how he had been visited by the immor- tal Count and had been transport- ed by him not only physically but spiritually through former incarna- tions. From the peak of Mt. Shasta where the alleged meeting took place, the Count took Guy back 70,000 years to learn that in his former existence he had been the undisputed King of the Sahara Kingdom. His travels took him to ancient Atlantis as well as Mu and the ancient civilizations of Egypt and South America. His travels were related in Unveiled Mysteries which was first published in 1934. Using the nom de plume of Godfre Ray King, Ballard return- ed to Chicago and joined his wife in her lectures. Meeting with moder- ate success, they went to Philadel- phia in the hope of enlarging their following. However, the success of the FATE movement really started when Harry Sieber joined the Ballards. Sieber had been the right hand man of William Dudley Pelley, founder of the Silver Shirt Move- ment which was essentially politi- cal although borrowing from occult- ism. Pelley’s movement was ex- posed by the Dies Committee of the United States Senate as an at- tempt to found an American Nazi Party. When Pelley finally ran afoul of the law, and was prosecuted and convicted by the State of North Carolina, Sieber jumped into the Ballard camp, taking with him a goodly number of Pelley’s followers. Classes were held in Washing- ton D.C., the South, and in various cities in the North. However, not until the lectures started in Los Angeles, did the movement be- come of major importance. The appeal was directed to the “super-patriots,” among others. Ballard almost hypnotically exhort- ed his audience to call upon the Ascended Masters and the ‘Legion of Light.” The degree to which the Ballard followers believed in these “‘patri- otic” ideals is indicated by a meet- ing in October, 1939. The audience was told by Guy that Hitler had sent three submarines to destroy the locks of the Panama Canal. The Ascended Master “K-17” joined with the group, and after

COUNT ST. GERMAIN AND THE “TI AM’S” 51 three hours of concentrated effort in which “blue lightning” was thrown at the enemy’s ships, Bal- lard announced from the platform that the submarines were destroyed. Ballard’s speeches indicated a budding egomania. At a meeting of his storm-trooper-like Minute Men.he stated that he was the re- incarnation of George Washington and that, “if necessary I will again mount my white horse and lead the army to victory.” Again, broadcasting over the radio from Los Angeles, he stated, “Why, we have over one-million I AM stu- dents now. Before the year is out, we will have two-million. It takes only three-million to govern the United States by divine order and justice.” Another great attraction was the miracle of faith healing.

Edna ad- vised that riches could be “preci- pitated” by concentrated visualiza- tion of the sacred violet flame. In 1937 students were told that a tidal wave would engulf the east- ern part of the United States. As a result, they were informed it would be purposeless to go on with their life insurance, savings and real estate investments. They were urged to divest themselves of their material holdings in favor of the Mighty I AM movement. When the catastrophe did not arrive, they were told that it was their fate and their concentration that was re- sponsible. The same prediction ended with the same results when a cataclysm was threatened on the Pacific Coast.

52 Over and over again the fact was emphasized that if one was to bene- fit materially or spiritually he or she would have to give. Not only were individual love gifts of thou- sands of dollars given to the Bal- lards, but also property, bank ac- counts, precious gems and the like. In addition, new sources of in- come were created. Book after book was published purporting to relate the vital pronouncements of the Ascended Masters. All students were ordered not only to purchase one set of books but to have two or more extra copies for each mem- ber of the family. Inasmuch as there were seven volumes and they sold for $2.75-each in the 1930's, the operation was not small. It has been: estimated that more than one- million copies were sold. — Not only books but charts, pho- nograph records of Mrs. Ballard’s harp playing, pictures of St. Ger- main and Jesus, blessed candles and similar matters were and are available at prices up to $450. How much was actually taken in, can never accurately be told. At the trial of the Ballards, the govern- ment proved the income was at least three million dollars. Consid- ering the huge amount spent for advertising, particularly on the ra- dio, this is probably a fractional figure. How many actual members there were is also a question. Mrs. Bal- FATE | lard claimed there were three-mil- lion converts, not only in this coun- try but all over the world. There were “reading rooms” in Scotland, France, Germany, Austria, the Far East, Africa and Australia. The decline probably started in 1937 with the institution of di- vorce proceedings in California by Donald Ballard’s wife. Students were shocked to learn that she charged him with extreme cruelty. . They were further shocked to learn that he counter-claimed for divorce charging he had caught his wife in a compromising position with one of the leaders of the movement and upon his discovery, they had beat- en him badly. An interesting sidelight was that the wife claimed that Donald, al- though then only 19 years old, en- joyed an income of $2000 per month and owned over $100,000 worth of property. However, the worst blow came on December 29, 1939. Guy Ballard, who had proclaim- ed his immortality through associa- tion with St. Germain and who had claimed to have greater healing powers than Jesus, died after a lin- gering illness. Ballard’s death, although it did not completely destroy the organi- zation, shook it to the very roots. Those who had prayed and given their belongings to obtain immor- tality, were bewildered. Neverthe-

less, within two months after his death, photographs of Guy, who now had been promoted to an Ascended Master, were being sold for as high as $25.00. In August 1940 Edna and Don- ald Ballard, together with 22 other leaders were indicted on mail fraud and conspiracy counts. Before the trial, a civil action for plagiarism of material to be found in a book called A Dweller on Two Planets was instituted. It appeared that some of St. Germain preachings were not original. The trial lasted six weeks. Vol- umes could be written about the fantastic testimony. Suffice it to say that during the trial the gov- ernment proved that the income from the movement ran as high as $27,000 per week and “love gifts” in one Los Angeles class, ran as high as $1000 per day with an equal amount being obtained through the sale of various mate- rials, The primary legal question was whether the Mighty I AM move- ment was in fact a religious move- . ment as claimed and entitled to the constitutional protection for true religion or whether the claim of religion was a cloak to hide a gross- ly fraudulent activity. After two days of deliberation, the jury re- turned a verdict acquitting three defendants but disagreeing as to the remaining defendants who then COUNT ST.

Although the jurors reported 10-2 for con- viction of the Ballards, unanimity could not be obtained. A year later, the second trial be- gan. This trial consumed eight weeks. Mrs. Ballard was convicted on seven counts of the indictment and her son on two. She received a suspended sentence of one year plus an $8000 fine and Donald re- ceived a 30-day suspended sen- tence and was fined $4000. As part of probation, they were ordered to cease any further_activity with the movement. A long history of appeals follow- ed that ended with a reversal of the conviction in 1946 on the ground that women had been sys- tematically excluded from the Cal-

In 1948 the group purchased a 14- story building in the Chicago Loop, housing the I AM Temple and na- tional headquarters. The St. Ger- main Press continues to publish in a storefront building on Chicago’s south side. Additional facilities are maintained at Santa Fe, N. Mex., and at Mount Shasta, Calif., where 2700 persons attended the annual “T AM Come” pageant in 1962. Mrs. Ballard continues her broadcasts over at least 13 radio stations, and the list of products and aids being sold to I AM stu- dents fill 20 of the 64 pages of the group’s periodical. Probably the most eloquent com- ment on this movement is to be found in the language of the dis- senting opinion of the late Mr. Justice Jackson of the U.S. Supreme FATE Court in United States vs. Ballard. “The chief wrong which false- prophets do to their following is not financial. The collections ag- gregate a tempting total, but in- dividual payments are not ruinous, I doubt if the vigilance of the law is equal to making money stick by over-credulous people. But the real harm is on the mental and spiritual plane. There are those who hunger and thirst after higher values, which they feel wanting in their humdrum lives. They live in men- tal confusion or mild anarchy and seek vaguely for truth and beauty and moral support. When they are deluded and then disillusioned, cynicism and confusion follow. The wrong of these things, as I see it, is not in the monies the victims part with, half so much as in the mental and spiritual poison they (Gam oe To which the author says Amen. wite-~ehie POWER OF PRAYER EEDING some old railroad ties to repair a barn, nuns at a religious community in Bethlehem, Conn., sent a request to the ‘New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad.

Miller ALWAYS HAVE been interest- ed in the mysterious, the occult and the supernatural and read all the literature I can obtain on these subjects. But I have not found any- thing to explain the marks that ap- peared on my body one morning after a particularly vivid dream (or was it a dream?). Now that I have retired en pension from my job as an auditor for the federal govern- ment and have more leisure I wish to outline the events just as they happened, as my memory of them is still indelible. The day preceding my first dream was no different than any other. My office work was just routine and after dinner I puttered around my flowers, read the paper, watched the late news on television and retired at my usual time. I re- call nothing that happened during the day or evening which would bring on such a vivid dream. I never eat before retiring as I am a calory 55 counter, so it was not a late snack. I went to bed about 11:15 and fell asleep at once. I had been sleeping for about two hours when I awoke suddenly to find two men in my bedroom; one sitting on each side of the bed. The room appeared as light as in the daytime, yet, looking at the windows I saw it was still dark outside. I remember glancing at the ceiling light but it was not lit, neither was the lamp on the bedside table. I am not eas- ily frightened and I reacted more to C. A. MILLER

curiosity than to fear. The two men were dressed exactly the same. They wore business suits in a med- jum shade of grey. Their eyes were steel blue but their hair was a color “I never had seen on a human being. I was not certain whether it was pale blue or pale green. They had fine features, were neither hand- some nor homely, and appeared to be about 30 years old. At first glance I thought they were twins but, looking closer, I saw this was not so. Before I could speak the one sit- ting on the right side of the bed said, “I see you are not afraid, which is good. We are only here for some information and it was difficult to find someone who was not. afraid. We want to find out the system under which you exist.” Not knowing just what he meant I replied, “I work for the federal government.” “Why do you say federal govern- ment? Do you have more than one of these?” I replied, “Yes, we have our fed- eral government over the whole country, our provincial govern- ment over our own particular part of the country, and our city gov- ernment over the community in which we live.” The man on the other side of the bed commented, “How compli- cated and archaic!” I then explained the functions of FATE the various governing bodies and elaborated on how this planet was divided up into various countries, each country having its own sys- tem of control. Only the man on my right asked questions. The other one made only terse comments on some of my re- plies. After a lengthy conversation con- cerning salaries, money, and the purchases of food, clothing, trans- portation and homes, the second man commented, “Not as advanced as we thought.” This started me vaguely wonder- ing if these two could be from an- other world but the first one now continued with questions on goy- ernment spending and_ taxation. To my detailed reply the second man said, “How complicated.” Next we discussed our govern- ment handling of relief for the poor and unemployed and I began to feel tired. It appeared they sensed this because my questioner said, “We will leave you now, that you may rest.” The other spoke to his compan- ion, “This man has given us much valuable information. We should leave our mark on him.” At this my questioner reached over and drew his index finger down my forehead, from my hair-line to the bridge of my nose. That is all I remember. I have no recollection of them leaving.
Page 57
a Pies TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES I awoke to the clatter of my alarm clock at my usual time, 6:30, with no immediate memory of my dream. I heard my wife pre- paring breakfast in the kitchen. I washed and prepared to shave. When I looked in the mirror I really was shocked to see a scarlet mark on my forehead. It brought back my dream vividly. This mark was just the width of an index fingertip. I called my wife; there must have been hysteria in my voice as she came running. She confirmed what I saw and no wash- ing or application of cleansing creams could remove it. Over breakfast I told her my dream but the sight of that mark on my forehead gave me an un- easy feeling it had not been a dream. My wife said she had slept soundly in her room across the hall and had heard nothing unusual during the night. After a few weeks the mark gradually faded out and I satis- fied myself it was only a dream. I had all but forgotten it when it was brought back as vividly as before. My wife has been a diabetic for years and shortly. after my first dream her eyesight began to de- teriorate at a rapid rate. I made the usual rounds with her, from op- tometrists to medical doctors and finally to an outstanding eye spe- cialist. This man told me nothing could be done for her eyes, that she would gradually loose all vision. That night I retired at my usual time and after much rolling and tossing I found myself sitting up in -bed and there, standing beside me, was the man who had asked me all the questions in my previous dream. He reached out and grasped my right forearm, putting consider- able pressure with his thumb on a spot half way between my wrist and elbow, saying, “Don’t worry. Everything will be all right. Every- thing will be all right.” That is all I remember about this second dream. I slept soundly for the rest of the night until waked by the alarm clock. I went to the bathroom and while washing saw on my arm, where I dreamed his thumb had exerted pressure, a large capital “G”. This mark is still on my arm after more than three years. My arms are naturally freckled but this “G” is several shades darker than the freckles. To make it more mysterious my wife’s name is Gladys. Her eyesight has shown no furth- er deterioration but on the other hand it has not improved. This mark has been inspected by many persons from all walks of life, including medical men, but no one offers a logical explanation. Does the “G” stand for Gladys, my wife, or for God? — Burling- ton, Canada.

58 THE LOST OPAL By Nellie B. Kent Y FAMILY, in 1915, lived on “a small plantation on the Is- thmus of Tehauntepec in southern Mexico, about 50 miles from the town of Tlacotalpan. The planta- tion bordered on the wide and deep Popolowan River, navigable by ocean steamer some 200 miles up- stream from Vera Cruz. The planta- tion house stood on a knoll well above the river bank where our small yacht was kept anchored to the landing pier. My family often passed the time by fishing from the boat. One morning as I sat on the afterdeck I felt a strong tug on my dangling line, and with some dif- ficulty landed a nice fish. As I held up thy catch to show the children, I noticed the opal setting from my ring was gone, Then suddenly I re- called seeing a bright object being carried downstream by the current as I lifted my fish over the side of the boat. The opal was a 10 carat stone of unusual brilliance and color, and though I had other jewelry of much greater value, this was my most treasured possession. My distress was so great my husband called the men in from the fields and had them search for the stone on the river bottom, offering a 50 peso award. The men dived all afternoon, go- FATE ing down on ropes anchored to the river bed so they could scoop up the mud into baskets which they brought to the surface. I squeezed every cupful of mud through my fingers. Night came without the stone having been found. The search appeared hopeless, and my husband decided to keep it up only until the following noon. I went to bed broken-hearted and weeping. Sometime during the early morning hours I fell asleep and dreamed I saw my opal lying at a particular spot on the river bottom. When morning came I led the men along the river bank until we reached a spot about a quarter of a mile below where they had been diving the day before. “The opal is right there,” I said. “About 75 feet from the river bank and the water there is very deep.” The men seemed puzzled but went to work at once. As the bas- kets of mud were put ashore I went through them with a prayer on my lips. Suddenly I felt something hard. It was my opal. — Austin, Tex.

TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES Uneasiness made me glance back. An auto slowly trailing me had stopped and the driver was follow- ing me on foot. Still eight blocks from my home at 808 Alabama Ave., my thoughts instantly concentrated on Rex, my German Shepherd pet, whom I had chained earlier to prevent his fol- lowing me to the movies. Rex obeyed every command but one; no amount of punishment could break his habit of tagging after me like a shaggy bodyguard. I began to run in half-crazed fear, and with every footstep, I gasped futilely, “Rex, help! Rex, help!” A stunning blow caught my shoulder and sent me sprawling. I screamed in terror as my attacker, one foot pinning my coat to the ground to prevent my escape, raised his other foot to kick or stomp me into oblivion. Instinctively I shut my eyes and turned my face away, but the blow never came. Instead, the man went down shrieking and thrashing wildly in the brush. I bolted to my feet, too relieved to wonder how it happened that Rex had hurled himself bodily at the man, knocking him off bal- . ance. Rex tore feverishly at the coat- sleeve as the man desperately fought to protect his throat. Finally my assailant broke free and ran to his car, with Rex in hot pursuit. But 59 fearing the man might have some weapon, I commanded Rex to re- turn. The next day I discovered that Rex, with great effort, judging from the clawed-up lawn, had freed him- self from his snug-fitting collar. Al- though he had tried many times, never before had he succeeded. How had Rex known I needed help desperately? With his hearing so impaired by gunshot that we have to shout for him at feeding time, he could not possibly have heard my cries. And how did he find me? I never had taken that short-cut before. — Orange, Calif. DEATH STRIKES TWICE By A. Stephenson A FEW YEARS ago while I was handling mail and baggage at a Pittsburgh, Pa., railroad station, I saw a man killed three nights be- fore it happened. A little after 9:00 P.M. the Number 9 passenger and mail train from Washington, D.C., was unloading. The train was sched- uled for a 20-minute stopover. During this time the engine was supposed to be uncoupled and switched out into the yards to pick up a baggage car load of mail, then switched back and recoupled for its trip to Chicago. A railroad worker known as Joe the Car Knocker had the job of coupling and uncoupling the engine. On this particular night I had EE]

Returning along the concourse to the station, I noticed a railroad worker sitting slumped on the concourse with his back against an iron shed pole. His cap lay beside him and his head was drooped. I stopped the buggy, got off, walked over and looked at him. It was Joe the Car Knocker. Streams of blood were running down his face onto his work clothes. I spoke fo him, but he seemed unconscious. While I stood looking at him, scores of passengers walked by to board the train. What seemed odd to me was that no one seemed to notice Joe sitting there bleeding. Even Les Camp- bell, the Station Master, had walked by without a glance. He nodded to me but did not seem to notice Joe. I got back on my buggy and started toward the station. On the way up I met our foreman Davy McCrea, and told him about Joe. “He needs a stretcher and a trip to the hospital,” I said. “He’s un- conscious and bleeding about the head.” The boss excitedly asked where Joe was. About five poles down, I told him. As he started down I yelled that the Station Master was down there somewhere and should be notified. I parked my bugg near the baggage room and started back on foot. Halfway down the concourse I met the boss and the Station Master. The Station Mas- ter added he had just seen Joe crossing the tracks to his shanty right after he had coupled the en- gine. We looked at each other. I said, “T even spoke to the guy. Come on down and I'll show you the pole where he is.” When we got to the pole both the boss and the station Master gave me a funny grin and walked away. I stood there stupefied. There was no sign of Joe, blood, or anything else, and the train was slowly mov- ing out of the shed. I thought I must be getting nuts. However, when Number 9 pulled into the station three nights later I was delayed getting to the front end wih my load of mail and bag- gage. As I headed down the con- course I noticed some excitement ahead. A railroad car inspector, quite pale and shaken, came run- ning toward the station. “What’s wrong?” I yelled. He didn’t stop, but yelled back, “Joe the Car Knocker had his head crushed between the coupling links of the baggage car and the train.” I hurried down. There was Joe sitting propped against a concourse pole, bleeding from the head, just as I had seen him three night be- fore. He was dead before the am- bulance arrived. — Coraopolis, Pa.

’ The British Scholar Who TALKED WITH CONFUCIUS IVING IN day world-recognized authority on Chinese culture and _ literature, who is sure he has heard the voice of Confucius. __ He is Dr. Neville Whymant, Ox- ford graduate and onetime lecturer in Chinese and Japanese at the University of London, who later went to the Orient for research and study. There he became a profes- sor of Oriental literature and philo- sophy at the University of Peking. ENGLAND is a noted scholar, to- a 62 He also was a professor at the Uni- versity of Tokyo for a time. As a child he had lived in China and is, through study and experi- ence, thoroughly familiar with many of the spoken dialects, as well as with the written language. In addition, he is an accomplished linguist with a broad background of study in other languages. He now lives in Richmond, in the beautiful British countryside of Surrey, where he is quietly retired, although still a busy scholar.

xh 4 The voice spoke ancient Chinese, gave the name of the great sage—and cleared up mysteries in Chinese classics. His conversations with the voice of Confucius in archaic Chinese oc- curred in New York and London more than 30 years ago, but last year he affirmed once again, in a lecture at the College of Psychic Science in London, that he remains convinced the voice was that of the great Chinese sage himself. His small book, Psychic Adven- tures in New York, published in 1931, contains an account of the Confucius communications. It is regarded as one of the classics of psychic research literature. No parapsychologist yet has developed a water-tight theory which would explain away the conversations with the purported voice of Con- fucius. This does not mean they have not tried, but a reexamina- tion of the case and a recent ampli- fication of details by Professor Whymant seems to have closed rather securely any gap in the evi- ‘dence. At my request, for this two-part series for Fate, Dr. Whymant has expanded the original account and added new details. While on his way back from the Far East, Dr. Whymant had stopped in New York for several months to obtain anthropological 63 material for treatises he was pre- paring. He and Mrs. Whymant visited her brother, who, though English-born, was an American citi- zen and a special assistant to the United States Attorney General. Through him, they met William M. Cannon, a prominent New York attorney who also was a former judge. The Whymants had dinner with Judge and Mrs. Cannon in their Park Avenue apartment in March of 1926. In October of the same year the Whymants were invited again. This time Mrs. Cannon explained,
Page 64
“We are in need of someone with a wide knowledge of languages.” Professor and Mrs. Whymant did not learn until after dinner that they were to participate in a meeting with the direct voice med- ium George Valiantine. Valiantine was 43 and a manufacturer of razor strops in Williamsport, Pa., when his psychic gifts were discov- ered. He became known for his direct voice mediumship and had impressed the Cannons, along with certain of their friends, with the apparent genuineness of the mani- festations he produced. Those who supposedly communicated through his trumpet included many speak- ing in foreign languages. Valiantine was described by Den- nis Bradley, British author and _ dramatist, in whose home the me- dium lived for a time, as being comparatively unschooled and in- capable of imitating any foreign language, or for that matter, of speaking the best English. Dr. Whymant, in describing Val- jantine, told me, “He was a very ordinary type of man. He knew that everybody knew it and was not at all abashed by it.” That October evening in 1926, Valiantine took his place in the circle of guests. Among them were a number of prominent New York- ers. Dr. Whymant noticed what he called “a thing like a megaphone” (the usual mediumistic trumpet). But he says, “I was so unversed in these matters at the time that it didn’t mean anything to me at all.” However, he did realize he was to participate in a demonstration which in some way would involve his own skills. Hence he asked per- mission to take notes, and did so with some difficulty after the lights were turned off. There were the customary pre- liminaries familiar to all who at- tend direct voice sessions—the playing of sacred records, a greet- ing from the traditional Indian “doorkeeper” and preliminary re- marks by the medium’s regular guides, as well as a number of whispered personal communica- tions directed to regular sitters. Then came the first indication that this was to be no ordinary psychic demonstration. From the megaphone-like horn, Dr. Why- mant began to hear a familiar sound. “Tt was,” he says, “the sound of an old wheezy flute, not too skill- fully played. Those who have wan- dered through Chinese streets in the evening will readily recall the sound, In a few seconds it had carried me back to sights and ex- periences in the old Celestial King- dom.” In Peking especially, he explain- ed, beggars go about drawing at- tention to themselves with wooden
Page 65
clappers or blowing on what we in the Western world call a flute. “Tf the flute is broken,” he con- tinued, “it gives a very shrill and reedy type of noise. The moment I heard it on this occasion, it was just as if I had flown in an instant to Peking. It was just the sort of noise the beggars make.” While the flute-like sound was fading away, Professor Whymant could hear the steady, languorous breathing of the medium. The two sounds were distinct, separate and independent of each other. Next came a faint voice. The British scholar immediately be- came aware that it was speaking in Chinese and then realized that the language was an archaic form of Chinese—a style which he says was identical with that of the Chinese classics edited by Confu- cius 2500 years before. He adds: “Only among the scholars of archaic Chinese could one now hear that accent and style, and then only when they intoned some pas- sage from the ancient books.” The tremulous chanting (it sounded thus to others who were listening) gradually became more distinct and Dr. Whymant made tentative inquiries as to the ident- ity of the speaker. At first the re- plies were hardly audible. Those around urgently whispered: “Keep on talking, and the voice will get stronger.” BRITISH SCHOLAR TALKED WITH CONFUCIUS SS aes eee ee Though Dr. Whymant had stud- ied the classics thoroughly and could recite whole sections from memory, he found it difficult to follow words and phrases spoken in the ancient style. The voice through the trumpet, as though sensing the problem, soon adapted its manner of speaking to the professor’s own style of Chinese, yet without at any time altering the distinctive accent and intonation which so clearly identified it with the far- away past. “There was no doubt,”reported Dr. Whymant in his book, Psychic Adventures in New York, “that somebody or something had been speaking most excellent Chinese there that evening, better Chinese than I with all my training and experience in China could speak.” Some of the flavor of the con- versation between the voice pur- porting to be that of K’ung-fu-tzu, the great sage known to us as Con- fucius, and the British scholar is contained in a translation of some of the notes Dr. Whymant took at the time. The Voice: “Greetings, O son of learning and reader of strange books! This unworthy servant bows humbly before such excellence.” Dr. Whymani: “Peace be upon thee, O illustrious one. This un- cultured menial ventures to ask thy name and illustrious style.” The Voice: “My mean name is
Page 66
66 K’ung; men call me Fu-tzu, and my lowly style is Kiu. I wasted more than three score years and reached the end of my road. Peace upon thy house. May I know thine honorable name and _ illustrious style?” Dr. Whymant (referring to the names and titles by which he was known in China): My humble name is Wang, and men call me Wen-tzu. My despicable style is Wen-tzu-tsang. I have thrown away two score years in folly and lack understanding. Will the Master teach me in words of wisdom?” The Voice: “Alas, my shade is that of a single hair, and knowledge is not in me. What is the honor- able question?” * * S SOON AS Dr. Whymant heard the name of the Chin- ese sage he determined to clear up a number of matters which had puzzled students of the classics and of the Confucius writings through the centuries. So, continu- ing to address the trumpet voice in the flowery language of Chinese honorifics, he asked the Master to explain an obscure ode in the Shih King, the book of Poetry, which had been edited by Confucius. _ Dr. Whymant: “This stupid one would know the correct reading of a stanza in the Shik King. It has been hidden from the understand- ing for many centuries, and men FATE © look upon it with eyes that are blind. The passage begins thus: “Ts’ai ts’ai chuan erh.. 2” This was the first line of the poem, which is also always the title. Actually it was the only part of the poem that Dr. Whymant knew, for in the study of the Chinese classics certain of the odes of the Shih King were classified as “dif- ficult” and were not assigned for study. Scholars had wrestled with them for hundreds of years and made little of them. But if Dr. Whymant thought he was posing an impossible test for the personality identified by the direct voice as the Master K’ung —the great Confucius himself—a surprise was forthcoming. In fact, the reply constitutes in itself an important chapter in the study of the Chinese classics, as well as in the history of psychical research. It also represents one of the most important examples of that class of psychic phenomena called xeno- glossy, which is the manifestation of foreign languages unknown to the person or persons producing them. The trumpet voice said, “It should be read this way, O master of mysteries” ...and without fur- ther hesitation the voice intoned the 16 lines of the third ode of the first book (Chou nan) of the Clas- sic of Poetry, beginning with the lines Dr. Whymant had given.
Page 67
BRITISH SCHOLAR TALKED WITH CONFUCIUS 67 “T certainly could not have re- peated another line of this poem, for I did not know any of the re- maining 15 lines,” he says in his book. With the pencil and pad which had been provided for him, he copied what he heard as best he could in the darkened room. To be certain he was copying correct- ly, he asked the voice to repeat the poem in the revised form! Dr. Whymant states that the di- rect voice put a construction on the verses so that they “hung together” as a normal poem. A purported spirit voice, therefore, had done what scholars had found impossi- ble to do. “Read in this way,” concluded the voice, “does not its meaning become plain?” “Dr. Whymant conceded, “O leader of the wise men, it shines with myriad lights.” His mind by this time was in a ‘turmoil. The significance of what had happened in those strange sur- roundings staggered him. Neverthe- less, this did not prevent him from recording what he could of the pro- ceedings as carefully as possible. And surprised though he was, the professor resolved on a further test. Addressing the luminous trumpet he said, “There are other things I would ask of thy wisdom.” The voice replied, “Ask not of an empty barrel much fish, O wise one. Many things which are now dark shall be light to thee, but the time is not yet. They shall yield to thy touch in a day not yet born.” Dr. Whymant continued, “Shall I ask of one passage in the Mas- ter’s own writings? In Lun Yu, Hsia Pien (Analects of Confucius), there is a passage which is wrong- ly written. Should it not be read thus...” And Dr. Whymant began to quote the passage in question, but before he could complete it the voice took up his sentence and carried it through to the end. After the quotation, as corrected, was concluded the speaker contin- ued in Chinese, “You were going - to ask me about the two characters which end the last two phrases! You are quite right! The copyists are in error. The character which is written se should be 7, and the character which is written yen is an error for fou .. . It was a mistake of those who tried to see in dark- ness and wrote that which they did not understand.” In Psychic Adventures in New York, Dr. Whymant comments, “As the passage stands in the stan- dard version, it makes no sense at all.” When he asked the Confucius voice about it, he had in mind a textual change suggested by Cam- bridge Prof. H. A. Giles, and the voice agreed with that version. Of this test, Dr. Whymant says,
Page 68
68 “Again, all the wind had been taken out of my sails!” Three additional points stand out in the narrative of the strange event: 1. Dr. Whymant courteously— in the honorific manner—question- ed the supposed Confucius con- cerning the various names by which “the sage was known during his lifetime. The answers were given accurately and without hesitation. 2. In a discussion of his Jong ef- forts “to give the message of the East to the West,” Dr. Whymant was told by the Confucius voice, always speaking in archaic Chin- ese. “Fear not. There are those who love learning, and they will not let the treasure lie hid. Even as thou hast done with Mongolian, so thou shalt do with the problems of my old home. Those old Mongols wait- ed long for one such as thou art...” Apparently this referred to the publication in England, about one month before, of a small Mongolian grammar, edited by Dr. Whymant. It had not yet appeared in Ameri- ean book stores. 3. In the case of the obscure ode from the Shik King, Dr. Whymant went to the New York Public Li- brary the following day hoping to find the standard Chinese text for comparison with the version he had written down at the direct voice meeting. He was gratified to dis- cover that the library had several Sse w as * Se FATE Chinese editions containing the poem, as well as a translation by Prof. James Legge of Oxford. “By comparing my notes of the previous evening with the original text,” says Dr. Whymant, “TI dis- covered an error had been made. Either I had misheard and had written down one wrong character or the voice had erred in the re- cital of the poem.” At the next sitting with the Can- nons’ circle and Valiantine, there was “a rather remarkable occur- rence at the very outset.” Dr. Whymant intended to ques- tion the Confucius voice concern- ing the error, but before he had time to do so the voice said (al- ways in ancient Chinese), “Speak- ing the other day, this clumsy, witless one stepped into error. Too frequently, alas! has he done this, and the explanation he gave was a faulty one. Listen now to the true reading of the passage about which the illustrious scholar in- quired.” Then followed the third reading of the ode with the faulty character corrected. In a notable example of British understatement, Dr. Whymant comments, “This certainly impress- ed me as out of the ordinary.” Professor Legge had written of the standard version of the ode, “T can make nothing more of the piece than that someone is lament- ing in it the absence of a cherished
Page 69
BRITISH SCHOLAR TALKED WITH CONFUCIUS 69 friend—in strange fashion.” His translation of the verses in- to English went thus: “T was gathering and gather- ing the mouse-ear (forget- me-nots), But I could not fill my shallow basket; With a sigh for the man of my heart, I placed it there on the high- way. “T was ascending that rock- covered hill, But my horses were too tired to breast it. I will now pour a cup from the gilded vase, Hoping I may not have to think of him long. “T was ascending that lofty ridge, But my horses turned of a dark yellow. I will now take a cup from that rhinoceros horn, Hoping I may not have long to sorrow. “J was ascending that flat- topped height, But my horses became quite disabled. And my servants were also dis- abled; Oh, how great is my sorrow!” On analyzing the corrected ver- sion he had taken down in Chinese characters at the dictation of the Confucius voice, Dr. Whymant de- - cided that they were in the style of Chinese psychic poetry so popu- lar at one time. The lamentation thus appeared to be for a dead lover, whose spirit suddenly put in a frightening appearance. While translations of the Chin- ese verses can give only a hint of their delicate beauty, style and symbolism, Dr. Whymant’s Eng- lish version of what he finally re- ceived gives a clue to the literary and psychical importance of his experience: “Feverishly gathering the mouse-ear, I could not fill my shallow basket. He once enshrined in my heart called to me, And I put the thing down in the path. “While going up that rock- covered hill, My horses weak; Let me pour out a draught from my golden vase And repel from my thoughts. he who comes back. suddenly went “Then while ascending that lofty ridge, as
Page 70
79 . My horses changed color from fright; Let me pour out a draught from that horn vessel To break down my stabbing sorrow. “Climbing that flat-topped hill, hill, My horses were finally strick- en down; My slaves too were stricken down— He speaks! Oh, terrible dis- tress!” Dr. Whymant says that he asked a number of questions about the revised poem to clear up some of the more obscure figures of speech. For instance, the line which read, “My horses changed color from fright,” puzzled him. The voice easily explained that the horses when frightened by the apparition would naturally break into a sweat, thus causing their coats to darken in color. * Ok Ok N ALL, Dr. Whymant at- tended about 12 sittings at the Park, Avenue apartment. Each time he was greeted at some point in the sitting by the Chinese voice which, in the later sittings, was in- clined to engage in philosophical discussions or, as in the second sitting, to deliver injunctions of the type associated with Confucius. FATE The following are among a num- ber taken down in Chinese by the British professor: “Not forever can we help you over the difficult road. Only by struggle can things worthwhile be reached, and if we make the way too easy, there is much depend- ence on others’ efforts, and none relies on himself... . “It is but a sorrow that those things we did, poor and unworthy as we know them to be, should be adjudged superlative by the dwell- ers on earth...” Dr. Whymant considered that a number of the sayings were some- what banal, more so in the case of other voices, however, but this did not detract from the value of the evidence which he, an expert in languages, accumulated and could properly evaluate. Chinese was not the only for- eign language recognized by this expert linguist during the 12 sit- tings. There were also, he says, Persian, Hindu, Basque, Sanskrit, Arabic, Portuguese, Italian, Yid- dish and modern Greek. At one sitting Dr. Whymant was called upon by a voice speaking in a Levantine dialect to deliver a message to a sitter who spoke Eng- lish. Dr. Whymant had only the “sketchiest” knowledge of the dia- lect but managed a translation of the more elementary parts of what was a fairly long speech.
Page 71
BRITISH SCHOLAR TALKED WITH CONFUCIUS 71 Neither the translation nor the original speech meant anything to him, as it was concerned mainly with the Baha’i faith, of which he knew little, but the sitter assured him the message was understood. On the strength of it, thereafter, a journey to the Middle East was undertaken by that sitter. Dr. Whymant mentions one oth- er notable incident having to do with a foreign language produced through the Valiantine trumpet. He was acquainted to a degree with the strangely difficult Basque language but was more familiar with Spanish Basque than that of southern France. At one of the sit- tings, he discovered that a trumpet voice was speaking what at first was thought by a member of the circle to be a French patois but finally was identified by the pro- fessor as Labourdin Basque. He was able to carry on enough of a conversation with this voice to learn that the speaker claimed to have lived in the village of Ezpe- leta in the French Basque country. The trumpet voice stated that a popular song had been written about the village. Dr. Whymant did not know the song. Several months later, however, he not only found in an 1870 edition of Chants Populaire du Pays Basque the mu- sic and text of the satirical chant which had been sung by the trum- pet voice (the song was titled Ezpeleta Herrian, meaning simply “the village of Ezpeleta”) but also the words of a French song which had been written about the village. As if all this evidence of con- firmed xenoglossy was not enough there was one other “remarkable happening” which impressed the distinguished British visitor. His brother-in-law, the assistant attor- ney general, had lived so Jong in the United States that most per- sons considered him to be a native- born American. In fact, he had acquired a convincing Kentucky drawl. Consequently, Mrs. Whymant was regarded as an American from Kentucky who had married an Englishman. As a result, their hosts prepared a Southern dinner for her special pleasure. At the first sitting, a voice claiming to be Mrs. Whymant’s fa- ther spoke to her—loud enough for the others to hear. Later Judge Cannon remarked that although he flattered himself that he could rec- ognize the various local dialects of the United States, since in his trav- els he had made this a hobby, he ° could not place the accent of this voice. Mrs. Whymant ‘said she was not’ surprised since it belonged to the West Country of England. “The voice certainly had the West Country tone and slight drawl, reminiscent of my wife’s
Page 72
72 family in Somerset,” Dr. Whymant later wrote in his book. ea ee LL OF THIS accumulated testimony, by one whose mo- tives and particular skills can not — be challenged, failed to stem a tide of “expert” theorizing by contem- porary investigators, who proffer- ed various hypotheses to account for the phenomena. Even Sir Oliver Lodge, who wrote a preface to Psychic Adven- tures, thought that the Chinese voice need not necessarily have been that of Confucius himself but a disciple or a’ well-trained Chinese scholar in the other world. Repeated charges of fraud against Valiantine cast a shadow FATE over the whole experience and planted germinating seeds of doubt that over the years have tended to discredit the worth of the testi- mony. How valid are these criticisms? As far as his own experience is concerned, Dr. Whymant is con- vinced they have no validity. In the next issue of Fatr, Dr. Whymant brings up to date his recollections of his “direct voice” interview with the great Chinese sage K’ung-fu-tzu (Confucius) and tells why he remains more con- vinced than ever that he was not speaking to some substitute. He comments on the matter especially for Fate. —— ANCIENT EGG USTRALIAN scientists reportedly were astonished and puzzled by a hugh bird’s egg which recently came to their notice. The egg was said to have been found 32 years ago by an Australian farmer who took it home and then forgot about it. As big as a football, the egg is estimated to be a million years old. Dr. Ride of the Western Australian Museum has expressed the opinion that the egg was not laid by any known extinct bird. — LIFE-SAVING HUNCH De a $3,200 robbery of the Haven Grill in Brookhaven, N.Y., Mrs. Sophie Ostrow, 47, the owner, and two women customers were ordered into a washroom by the two masked, armed holdup men. One of the women said she had a feeling it would be wise to lie on the washroom floor. Moments later one of the robbers fired a shotgun blast through the door at about waist height.

a BCU The icy hand was joined to nothing more than a wrist—but slowly it was strangling me. HEN I ARRIVED at Goli, Matabeleland, Southern Rho- desia, Africa, on that July morn- -ing in 1950, it was for the purpose of collecting from the natives the annual hut tax of one pound. For this small amount the natives re- ceived full police protection and other aids. That was but one of my many duties as local Native Com- missioner, appointed by the British Colonial Office, Department of Colonial Affairs, African Division. My party consisted of six well- armed native policemen, 20 porters and camp helpers, my own person- al boy, Yubi, and myself. : Noticing an empty hut standing somewhat isolated from the’ others, I told Yubi to have it cleaned out 73 and then put my personal belong- ings in it and set up my cot. At that I noticed the natives who had gathered to welcome me stopped talking and smiling and fell to staring at me somewhat af- frightedly. The head man, Sura, then begged me not to stay in that hut as it was haunted; he said that the white man who had built it had been killed inside it as he slept, by whom or what they did not know. Thinking myself thoroughly con- versant with native fears and su- perstitions, I merely shrugged and smiled. Had I known what I was going to experience that night I would have taken their advice and slept out-of-doors. Runners having told them of my
Page 74
74 coming, natives had arrived and continued to arrive from far and wide to pay their taxes. Setting up a table and chair under a tree I commenced collecting. By evening I had taken in several hundred pounds. Locking the cash box I then took it into the hut and placed two policemen on guard. I next had my evening meal and then joined the natives around the huge fire they had built. Presently, feeling sleepy, I retired to the hut. Yubi had made a good job of fix- ing it up and in the glow of the hurricane lamp my cot looked in- viting. Dismissing the native policemen, I placed the cash box under my bed, checked my revolver and placed it handy, undressed and got into bed. It was pleasant restfully lying there listening to the drone of voices around the fire: Soon I dropped off to sleep. The next thing I knew I was half awake, gasping agonizingly for breath. Something was pressing hard on my windpipe, shutting off air. A thief after the money, I thought, and instantly came wide awake. In the darkness I groped for my revolver but failed to find it. Now the “something” at my throat tightened its grip. It was icy cold and:clammy and did not feel like a human hand. A snake must have coiled itself around my neck, FATE I decided. I grabbed at it, and seized not a snake but a wrist, cold as ice. Clutching the wrist with my right hand, I wrenched it sideways, and once again breathed freely. With my left hand I reached for the spot where the attacker’s body should be, at the same time sitting up on the cot. But I could feel no body—only the cold wrist and hand. Hanging on to it with all the strength in my right hand I felt along the wrist with my left, and found myself clutching only empty air. There was seemingly only a wrist and a hand, both as cold as death. It writhed and struggled furiously to reach my throat, and seemed slowly to be winning the struggle. At that stark fear engulf- ed me and, still clinging desperate- ly to that struggling, bodiless hand, I began shouting wildly for help. : “Help! police, police! Leta Ma- lampur! Pangisa! (Bring lamps! Hurry!) There were grunts, then shouts, as the startled native police roused each other. Meanwhile, I hung on to the ice- cold hand and wrist, though my teeth were chattering and my brain reeling. It seemed like hours but was actually: only short minutes, before the native police, carrying lighted lanterns, came racing to my aid. And even as they burst into
Page 75
ATTACKED BY A BODILESS HAND 75 the hut I felt that chilly wrist slip- ping from my grasp. It didn’t so much slip as it faded. It seemed to dissolve in my grasp. I struggled to my feet, found my revolver and ordered the hut thor- oughly searched. We found nothing. My personal boy, Yubi, had come running to my aid with the policemen, and I now asked him to look at my throat. Picking up a lantern he looked closely. His face grayed and he drew back in shiv- ers. When I asked him why he re- minded me that a thorough search had turned up no one, yet the dis- tinct marks of human fingers were on my neck. They had not been made by any living man, he as- sured me, but by a dead hand— an isituhwane—the spirit of a man from another world. The whole camp now was aroused and a huge fire lighted the scene. Sura, the head man, came hurrying up. After being told what had occurred he nodded sagely. He said he had warned the other white man, who had been choked to death in his sleep on the first night he slept there, not to build the hut over that spot. He had told him it was directly over the site of ‘a Makalanga village whose. inhabi- tants had been massacred one night by a Matabele tmp: many years before. Undoubtedly, the severed hand and wrist of one of the vic- tims still sought revenge, he said. I accepted Sura’s explanation, for I could offer no other and can- not to this day. Ordering my belongings and cash box taken to another hut, I then had the haunted one burned to the ground. I can only hope that the bodiless hand was destroyed with | it. T am now retired, living in mod- est comfort at Hampton-on- Thames, Middlesex, England. But even yet, on rare occasions, I start up from my sleep with a frightened cry, dreaming that a strangling, bodiless hand is at my throat. PT WRONG AT THE RIGHT MOMENT EFORE TAKING her children for a drive in the family car, Mrs. Paul Hirschman stopped at the Richardson Service Station in Nevada, Mo., to have the tank filled. She immediately was told by the attendant that she was wanted on the phone by her brother, who was calling from Festus, Mo. It developed that her brother had placed the call to her home number, NO 17-4369, but through an error at precisely the right moment, had been given the service station phone number, NO 17-3369. 9

Of WARM BLOOD FLOWS ... from 400-YEAR-OLD CORPSE What explains this mysterious bleeding from the corpse of a 16th Century Soldier kept in a Mexican Church? BEEIE Sac Pirated HEN THE SPANISH con- querers came to the little town of Celaya in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico, they brought with them professional soldiers from other countries. During one of the few battles near there in which the Mexicans triumphed, a Roman soldier named San Placio was killed. His throat was badly slashed and he had a number of ugly wounds on his body. The Mexicans carefully preserved his body by covering it with wax and 76 laid him for all to see in an open coffin in the lovely Iglesia del Carmen, one of the oldest churches in Mexico. The Mexicans meant this wax-covered corpse to be an object lesson for the Spaniards and a graphic trophy to commemorate their victory. Centuries rolled by and the Ro- man soldier from the 16th Cen- tury lay undisturbed in his last resting place. Except for an occa- sional curious tourist he no longer elicited any interest. Taken for

granted, all but forgotten, he lay in eternal sleep in the dimness of the church. Then in the year 1951 the church janitor gave the corpse a careless whisk with his duster. He was an old man and he went about his duties automatically from many years of habit. But now as he drew back his duster he saw that it was wet. To his amazement he saw that it was covered with what looked like blood. Straining his eyes in the church’s dim light he looked incredulously at the ancient soldier. Blood was oozing slowly out of the gashed throat! Spots were staining the ragged uniform where the wounds were! Now, thoroughly frightened, the mystified old man hurried off in search of the priest. The soldier, San Placio, lay in his coffin and continued to bleed for one week during Lent of that year. The blood was fresh and warm. And, it was blood! Soon the story was known over all Mexico. Thousands of persons crowded in- to the village of Celaya to see this phenomenon for themselves. San Placio, unmindful of their skepti- cism and scrutiny, bled silently on while Federal troops controlled the crowds and kept order. Then the bleeding stopped .as suddenly as it had begun. San Placio was restored to his four- century-old lifelessness. He still lies in his coffin in the Iglesia del Carmen, silent, moldering. If there is a miracle concerning his blood flowing four centuries after his death it is sealed forever behind his dead lips. Not long ago I asked Gustav Torres, manager of the Hotel Mexi- co in Celaya, how such a story ever started. Sensing my skepticism he replied gravely, “Senora, had I not witness- ed it with my own eyes I, too never would have believed it.” OY oO NEWS FROM LOCH NESS URING an appearance on a London television program dealing with the Loch Ness monster on February 24, 1963, David James, a Conservative member of Parliament expressed his belief that a mysterious “animate object” does frequent the Scottish lake. He reported that he and seven other persons recently formed an ex- pedition to investigate Loch Ness. A short time after they directed searchlights on the waters of the Lake, he said, they noticed that the salmon were panicking. Following the salmon was “an object which was seen by practically everyone for three or four minutes.” oe <4

: 1 ps Bringing THE BIBLE By ALSON In The Light Of Parapsychology And Modern Knowledge 16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divina- tion met us, which brought her mas- ters much gain by soothsaying: 17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. 18 And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. 19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the market- place unto the rulers, 20 And brought them to the mag- istrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city, 21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, nei- ther to observe, being Romans. 22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded'to beat them. 23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely: 24 Who, having such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks. 25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises un- to God: and the prisoners heard. 26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foun- dations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed. 27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and see- ing the prison-doors open, he drew his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prison- ers had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and’ sprang in, and came trembling,’ and fell down before Paul and Silas, 380 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 81 And they said, Believe on the’ Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be waved, and thy house.

J. SMITH UP. TO DATE Paul Exorcises The Spirit From The Divining Maid — Acts 16: N THE FACE of it this mir- acle is one of the most puz- zling in the New Testament. Here is a girl clearly possessing the kind of psychic gifts that modern parapsychology calls precognition and clairvoyance. By means of these gifts she bears witness before a hostile or at least indifferent street crowd that Paul and the others—Silas, Timothy, and Luke —are indeed, as they claim to be, servants of the most high God who point the way to salvation. In other words, the girl and her psychic gifts are on the side of the Christians. Why, then, does Paul so harshly exorcise the “spirit of divination?” In the first place, any kind of “nossession” was considered evil. In the second place, the girl’s precognitive and clairvoyant gifts were being commercialized. Jesus had taught His disciples to abhor the commercialization, populariza- tion, and consequent cheapening of the “gifts of the Holy Spirit.” Thirdly, we are told, in verse 18, that the girl had followed the Christians “many days’ and that this “grieved” Paul. The Revised Version of the Bible translates this as “sore troubled” irstead of 16-28 — “srieved” which is probably a more accurate description of Paul’s state of mind. The girl was mak- ing a nuisance of herself. How could Paul take away the girl’s psychic gifts? In the light of modern para- psychology we know that telepa- thy, clairvoyance, precognition, et- cetera are not the products of any “spirit of divination.” There was no such spirit, evil or otherwise, for Paul to cast out. But neither Paul nor the girl knew that. Both believed that a possessing spirit was responsible for her psychic abilities. Both be- lieved that Paul possessed the ne- cessary spiritual authority to cast out the possessing spirit. Therefore when he called on that authority she unquestioningly accepted it. She honestly believed her gifts were gone and this made it so. There is nothing to imply any cause-and-result relationship be- tween the prayers of Paul and Silas and the earthquake. The lat- ter was fortuitous, not miraculous. The incident of the divining maid should not be interpreted as indicating antagonism on the part of the early Christians to- ward psychic phenomena. 79

Was it only a seizure—or an attack by the evil influence filling the old house? 80 ae HOUSE HATED peo- ple! And I must concede that it never disguised its true character from us. No visible phantoms walked through the 10-room, gingerbread trimmed, turreted, Victorian relic we acquired in 1944, although our home, enthroned upon a hill and
Page 81
‘ surrounded by graceful pine trees, was the perfect picture of what a haunted house should be. However, a presence, unseen by the eye, but so baleful and malefic one could actually taste and feel it penetrate the very air of the dwelling. During our first week in that Youngstown, Ohio, house we were so tired by bedtime there was scarcely time for more than a whis- pered prayer before sleep overcame us. The size of each room took on the dimensions of a ballroom when it came to cleaning and we were truly exhausted. Our second week in the house saw the beginning of our troubles. No matter where I scoured and cleaned an odd odor penetrated the rooms. Whatever solvent I used, the smell remained. There was a thick, damp malodor throughout the house whether the wood was wet or dry. We finally decided that there were too many trees shading the house and perhaps in the spring of the year, if some were removed, the condition might be alleviated. Then there were the sounds of the house. We were aware that all houses, especially old ones, have their own particular noises but the discord that issued from this house was the weirdest I have ever heard. Soft moaning sighs and muted sobbing sounds arose when no wind was stirring. There were seem- ing footsteps in the attic overhead 81 and a variety of thumps and bumps that were nerve shattéring. Nights were wakeful for both my husband and myself and we would arise in the morning cross and irritable. Finally, we decided that we had been working too hard, that spring would relieve the ten- sion of the house and the winter noises would disappear. Spring and summer did bring us some relief. Removal of some of the trees seemingly dissipated most
Page 82
82 of the foul odor from the house. The many noises remained, how- ever, but we had become familiar with them and could ignore them now. Life was uneventful until July. Then we noticed two new oddities. The cellar was the worse of the two. Heretofore the cellar had been exactly that, a cellar. But now when I entered it the air, seemed thick and stagnant. It closed around me like a veil, making breathing almost impossible. And midway between the first step and the ceiling of the attic stairway appeared a huge cobweb. I brushed the web down on the average of once a week. Yet, the next time I opened the door, there was the cobweb, gray and waving. We searched diligently for a spider but never found one. More and more the house seemed to be alive. During August we decided that ~ the place was far too large for our family of two adults and one baby and that the sensible thing would be to divide it into three small apartments. This seemed an ideal way to add to our family income. A few days after our decision to remodel the house I entered the basement to do the week’s laundry. Suddenly, an invisible blanket of stifling thickness enveloped my body completely. Breathing be- came next to impossible. In panic -I fumbled my way to the stairway FATE and stumbled up the steps to the kitchen. There I found immediate relief and was able to breathe free- ly again. Positive I had suffered a seizure of some sort I went to the doctor that very afternoon, only to be told I was in excellent health, overly nervous perhaps, but physi- cally perfect. The evening of this trying day had one bright spot. My brother, Francis Wagner, arrived from his home in Detroit, Mich., for a week’s visit. This was a rare treat for my brother Frank, an ordained minister, was an evangelist who seldom had time to spare from his busy schedule. After our first greetings were over we immediately told him of the strange series of events that had plagued us since our occupancy of the house. Frank listened calm- ly and then said it seemed to him the things that had happened were, for the most part, due to two over- worked imaginations. We felt more than a little ashamed. Viewed in the light of his logical explanations the mysteries did not seem to amount to much. We spent a happy evening talk- ing over old times. Midnight ar- rived and we all retired. I went to sleep almost immediately feeling secure and safe in the knowledge that my brother was with us. Alas, I lost this feeling a short while later when we were jarred into in-
Page 83
o> ‘THE HOUSE THAT HATED PEOPLE 83 stant wakefulness by the sound of hoarse screams. I leaped from bed, raced into the hall to find my brother stand- ing on the attic stairway clawing wildly at his face. My husband was close behind me as we rushed to aid Frank who was the victim of our mysterious cobweb. It had entwined itself com- pletely around his head and fright- ened him till he literally was shak- ing. We turned on the lights, brushed the filmy, gray stuff away and talked soothingly to him. Frank finally managed to ex- plain, “I was asleep when suddenly I was awakened by a voice calling my name, over and over. I could hear the voice clearly, distinctly, so I got out of bed and went into the hall. The night light was so dim I must have mistaken the attic door for your door and when I opened the door and stepped forward I be- came entangled in that shroud. I panicked and called out to you. What a dream! What a horrible dream!” Eventually we all returned to bed and the rest of the night passed quietly. The next morning over break- fast coffee Frank treated the pre- vious night’s incident as a joke. “Your stories really must have preyed on my mind. I’ve never had a dream like that one and, cer- tainly, I never have sleepwalked before in my entire life.” That day we spent visiting re- latives and the next night was un- eventful. The morning of the third day I felt relaxed and certain my brother was right—imagination had played cruel tricks on our little family. But the climax came that after- noon. No one of us smoked but before our eyes, in the northeast corner of the living room, a small fire ap- peared. Without reason the fire suddenly was there. By afternoon we were at our wits end, for three other small fires broke out spon- taneously in the house, always be- fore our eyes. This was too much to. bear; fire is the major fear of my life. p My brother retired to his room that night looking thoughtful. The next morning he appeared at the table pale and resolute. At break- fast Frank told me of a strange dream he had the night before. “Last night I prayed for an an- swer to your dilemma. I had a dream that may or may not be the answer to your problem. I thought I was in the attic, wrapped in the cobwebby stuff I was entangled in the other night. In the corner of the attic was a blazing fire that grew and grew in size. I was panic- stricken and didn’t know which way to turn. I was trapped there. “Until my visit here I was con-
Page 84
84 * fident of my faith. I still am; how- ever, the experience of the other ‘night and the fires since, have shaken me. I am trained to be a guide to others, a strong arm for the weak to lean on. But in the moment of trial I was the weakest of the weak. “To me this shows how frail the flesh is. Sometimes we must rely on signs and symbols to guide us. You have been warned and now I earnestly advise you, not only as your brother, but as a minister, to leave this house as quickly as you can. “The battle of Good against the forces of Evil is constant. Some- times certain areas are won and held, as in any war. This house, I am convinced, is one of those very real areas where the forces of Evil have entrenched themselves. I tru- ly believe that eventually, perhaps soon, the baleful malignancy that is evident-here will be overcome by the power of Good. The climax is building up day by day and will break through in the future. You and the family must not be here when that occurs. I will wait here until you leave, for I cannot and will not leave you alone in this house.” We took my brother’s advice and that very afternoon packed our personal belongings and moved in- to my sister’s home. The moment we departed I felt a lessening of FATE tension; a vast feeling of relief swept over me. The furniture was out of the house within three days time and for the first time in six months we were free. At first we decided not to sell the house but, upon thinking it over, decided we were being fool- ish, for other’s beliefs are not ours. If we had acted unwisely in mov- ing out that was our mistake; we were satisfied with our decision. The house was not difficult to dispose of in the space hungry year of 1944. We told the people who took the house of the strange events that had occurred there. We were trying to be honest and fair but, from the expressions on their faces, I am sure they thought us com- pletely mad. a keece HE STORY of the house does not end here. The family who had bought it lived there exactly one month then, following our ex- ample, they too moved away. Despite the war-time housing shortage the house remained vacant for a long time, then was sold to an organization. After many renova- tions and much remodeling, the club finally was opened to its mem- bers. My brother’s prediction of a climax in the struggle between Good and Evil had been delayed for nearly 16 years, but the house had the last say after all. On Dec-
Page 85
ember 9, 1960, exactly two weeks after the opening the clubhouse was completely destroyed by fire. New wiring had been installed; there was no accounting for the ex- tensive nature of the fire. The ver- dict was “cause of fire unknown.” Today, of course, the house on the hill is gone. A new building on that spot opened its doors in 1961, to serve the same organization which had remodeled the old house. I do not fear for this building THE HOUSE THAT HATED PEOPLE for I am firmly convinced of my brother’s theory. I believe the bat- tle of Good and Evil was fought on that site and that the forces of Evil were driven away. Yet, I find myself wondering — where has that particular concentration of Evil been driven to? Another house, perhaps? Personally, I pray each night that never again in my lifetime shall I find myself upon such a battleground. Core DID A CURSE DESTROY KASKASKIA? LD RECORDS of Kaskas- kia, the first capital of Il- linois between the years 1818 and 1819, contain the story of a curse placed on the town by an Algonquin Indian. At the time Kaskaskia was a small colonial settlement on the Kaskaskia Riv- er, a short distance from its con- fluence with the Mississippi. Infuriated by his failure to win the hand of a French maid- en who lived there, the Indian shouted at the villagers, “May the filthy spot on which your church stands be destroyed, may your homes and farms be ruined, may your dead be torn from their graves, and may your land be a feeding place for fishes!” In an article in the February 24, 1963, issue of Grit, Grover Brinkman reports the story of the curse and relates the amaz- ing fashion in which it appar- ently was fulfilled. In 1881 the rampaging Mis- sissippi River did wipe out most of the old town of Kaskaskia, It destroyed the Church of the Im- maculate Conception, buried the crops of the French settlers and unearthed the dead from their cemetery. Most of the houses dis- appeared in the angry flood, slipping one by one into the tur- bulent muddy, waters. The Mis- sissippi created a new channel as well as an island, leaving the original town of Kaskaskia in the middle of the stream— “a feeding place for fishes,” as the wrathful Algonquin had prophesied. e@9

Photos by U.P.I. _ Sardinia’s LOST CIVILIZATION By Bill Sunderland, U.P.I. Scientists believe hill people of Sardinia are “pure” survivals of a civilization that died in 300 B.C.! EVEN-THOUSAND stone tow- . ers which frown down upon Sardinia’s rocky landscape are sci- ence’s strongest clues to the origins and practices of the mysterious and lost Nuraghical civilizations. So essential were these towers to the long-vanished culture that archeologists have named the en- tire civilization after them. The name—which has no_ English 86 equivalent—comes from the native Catalan word “nura,” which is best defined as a mound with a hole in it. The singular is Nuraghe and the plural Nuraghi. These. stone monuments sprout from the Sardinian countryside so frequently as to suggest the quills on a porcupine. There are over 7000 towers on the island which has a total area’ of only 9,283
Page 87
square miles. Thus there is a Nuraghe for every one-and-one- quarter square miles of area—a re- markable accomplishment for a culture which flourished only from 1500 B.C. until the Third Century B.C. when it was absorbed by the Roman civilization from the main- land of Italy just 120 miles away. Until the early 1950’s archeolo- gists believed that Sardinia’s stone towers were remnants of the Stone Age, but recent researches have re- vealed that they are the product of the mysteries, retarded Nuraghi- cal civilization. Scientists call this culture retarded because it failed to produce a written language and because it was limited to erecting simple stone structures while con- temporary civilizations were build- ing complex walled cities. Archeologists admit that much of what they believe is speculation— particularly since the Nuraghical civilization left no written language —although recent studies have in- . creased their fund of knowledge. There are a number of still-ex- isting relics of which the Nuraghi are the most important. The size of the towers varies, but the shape is basically the same—a cone of stones piled one on top of another, usually with only one entrance in- to the open area in the center. The entrance is made by the simple post and lintel method—a long piece of rock laid across other rocks. 87 The later Nuraghi sometimes are more complicated. Such a one is the well-preserved Nuraghe of Santu Antine (Sardinian dialect for St. Anthony) near Torralba in central Sardinia. It stands more than 65 feet high and the basic construction is a massive, double- walled conical center three stories high. Another one-story wall has been built around it. No mortar was used in any of the construction and the stones simply are piled upon each other. Because of this, the walls are thick —sometimes up to 10 feet—and the space inside is small in relation awd
Page 88
88 to the outside dimensions. The Santu Antine Nuraghe has several entrances to the outside wall, but only one entrance into the large, central tower, which is formed of two walls with a stairway leading to the upper stories. Ap- parently it was built for defense. Step by step the inhabitants could retreat, from within the outside wall to inside the main tower, and then upward, story by story. At each point there is only one place to pass and the cost to those want- ing to capture a Nuraghe must have been tremendous. Some of the Nuraghi built dur- ing the later stages of the civiliza- tion—when the Sardinians were using bows and arrows—have win- dows high up on the sides. But the earlier, simple Nuraghi, have only one small entrance. Archeologists feel that the Nu- raghi were used for defense and pos- sibly as homes for the tribal chief- tains. According to all evidence, the people were nomadic hunters and herdsmen who lived in huts made out of brush rather than in the stone towers. Only when their ene- mies threatened did they retreat to the Nuraghi to defend themselves. Because of this constant move- ment the Nuraghi are widely dis- tributed although few are on the coast, which the natives avoided because of its swampy nature. The Nuraghi generally are built on FATE open plains, although some are lo- cated on hilltops which have com- manding positions. Archeologists can follow the de- velopment of the Nuraghical civili- zation over a period of almost 1,500 years, from the time the first Nuraghi were built until the Ro- mans conquered Sardinia. Development began with the construction of simple, one-tower Nuraghi eight or nine feet high and terminated with the larger and more complicated Nuraghi, includ- ing some Nuraghi villages. Accord- ing to archeological estimates, the last Nuraghi probably were built about 400 years before Christ. During the last several hundred years of the Nuraghical civilization “Well Temples,” the “Tombs of the Giants,” and stone and bronze statuary were developed. The bronze statues, normally 12 to 18 inches tall, are almost sur- realistic. With long legs and elon- gated heads, they portray archers, warriors, tribal chieftains and even wrestlers. A few portray women, but mostly in connection with some action such as a woman holding a dead warrior, or a woman with a son. Most numerous of the figures are those representing chieftains, archers, and priests. The tribal chieftain is, without exception, distinguished by a flow- ing cape and a long stick in his hand. Sometimes the stick is notch-
Page 89
SARDINIA’S LOST CIVILIZATION ed; sometimes it is not. Generally the right hand of the chieftain is raised and the stick is in the left hand, extending straight down un- til it is lével with the feet. Some- times there is an ornament in the form of a “T” with a second cross halfway down hanging on the stat- ue’s breast, but the significance of this is not known. There are many archers, some- times with the bows slung over their shoulders and sometimes with it held ready for use. Other warrior figures show men with swords and shields and: there is a type of war- rior with four arms, four eyes and two shields which probably is a religious symbol. What appear to be priests are sculptured with cloaks and conical hats, holding offering bowls in their left hands. Surviving stone statues are more primitive. They look more like gingerbread men and women with generally flat faces and protruding noses and eyes, although some of the works show more imagination and some study of the human anat- omy. There are a few statues of ani- mals, including oxen, but none of any means of transportation, such as ships. This perhaps indicates that the people remained confined mostly to their own island and ap- parently did not attempt any sort of exploration or even communica- tion. Corsica is less than 10 miles away from Sardinia and the Corsi- can and Sardinian peoples are of the same race. But the civilizations developed differently, indicating the lack of any cultural inter- change. When a form of religion—ap- parently centered mostly on death —began to develop in the later stages of the Sardinian civilization the “Tombs of the Giants” were built. These are natural caves or caverns dug into rocky hillsides for use as burial sites. It is in these tombs that all of the 300 stone statues were found, indicating that these statues were associated with the burial rites. The 400 bronze statues found so far are from dif- ferent areas, showing they were part of the day-to-day life. Archeologists claim that the an- cient Sardinians believed in life af- ter death and even possibly in a form of reincarnation and that is why the tombs were so important and why most of the artifacts, such as the stone statues and pottery, have been found in or near the Tombs of the Giants. The tombs are so named locally because they are long and thin, and if only one person was laid to rest in them he would be a giant. Other surviving remnants of this mysterious culture are the “Well Temples,” deep, round wells with steps leading to the bottom where
Page 90
go the water was. Archeologists have deduced that, because of the scar- city of water on the island, a ¢ult of priests was created to distribute the precious liquid. Thus, the pits performed the double duty of pro- viding water and a form of religious worship. This was the extent to which the civilization developed apparently —bows and arrows, swords, a few villages, but generally warrior or pastoral activities, and no written language. While throughout the rest of the Aegean area civiliza- tions were building walled cities the Sardinians were learning to build their simple stone towers— and still generally existing from hand to mouth. Developing slowly, they lived without interference from about 1,- 500 B.C. until about 400 B.C. Whenever any “foreigners” arrived on their shores they simply retreat- ed to the interior of the island— and into their Nuraghi. And, as Sardinia had little to offer, they were left pretty much alone. The beginning of the end for this Nuraghical civilization came about the Fourth Century before Christ when the Carthaginians be- gan their first colonization of Sar- dinia. They set up villages on the coast and alternately fought and co-existed with the local people. Archeologists suspect that the Carthaginians may have helped the FATE Sardinians take the ultimate step in their civilization—the construc- tion of a few Nuraghi villages. It was likely that until that point each Nuraghe had been a separate entity. Then in the Third Century B.C. the Romans invaded Sardinia. The Carthaginians and the Sar- dinians combined to fight them but it was a losing battle. Eventual- ly the world-conquering Romans took the island and absorbed what they could of the local population. Because the Roman civilization was so much more advanced there was little for them to take or learn from the Sardinians. Recorded Roman history shows that many of the local people re- treated inland and continued their isolated life. Whenever the Romans were having trouble in other areas and were forced to take troops away from Sardinia there were lo- cal uprisings. Because of this habitual isola- tion there are little islands of “pure” Sardinians still living to- day in small mountain villages. .They are a small, dark and tough people, mostly herdsmen and hunt- ers. The Sardinian language is a combination of the original lan- guage of the island, Catalan, and Latin. Although the Sardinians appear to have forgotten the purpose of their tombs and their Nuraghi they
Page 91
SARDINIA’S LOST CIVILIZATION oh have, for 3000 years, maintained absolute respect for the monuments of their ancestors. Submerged memories have blended with super- stition to prevent the Sardinians from tearing down the stones of the Nuraghi for use in other struc- tures. Even today it is a rare occasion when a shepherd will use a Nuraghe to house his flock against the ele- ments. And, if the superstition is easing, the monuments to an age goneby and a lost civilization are now protected and preserved by Italian law. DOES EARTH HAVE SIX OCEANS? HE WORLD may have six oceans, according to Brit- ish oceanographers associated with the International Indian Ocean Survey, now in progress. The sixth ocean, which until now has not been recognized as such, might be the great Ara- bian Sea, including the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, which has been regarded as the northwest sector of the Indian Ocean. The British oceanographers eurrently are engaged in an in- tensive survey of this great water area. Their report on the project states that its principal aim “is to establish the crust structure of the Arabian Sea and to determine its relation to the surrounding continental land masses.” “Many geologists,” the report continues, “believe that the true continental margin in the west- ern Indian Ocean lies to the east of Madagascar, although oceanic depths of more than 2,000 fathoms lie within this area.” Studies of sea mounts in the eastern North Atlantic have shown that some are character- ized by a magnetic anomaly while others are not. Similar studies are being made of sea mounts in the Arabian Sea. De- tailed examinations also are be- ing made of the small abyssal hills found in the deep basins where it is possible that the rocks are more representative of what is the true oceanic base- ment.

THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS By R. V. Shoemaker Y SECOND MARRIAGE was of short duration. Malicious gossip, selfish desires and interests of others drove it on the rocks when it should have proved a success, for we greatly admired each other. Neither of us wanted a divorce, thus it was with us for several years— she helping her children and I help- ing mine. In 1948 I was drafted as a con- struction foreman on a government job and it was while on that job that another employee told me my wife was at her daughter’s, about one mile from the job, and was dying of cancer. I went to see her that evening after work. I made other visits to see her before she passed away. I attended her funeral in company with her daughter and family, her mother and her sister. In 1945 I took the job of building a Dude Ranch at Glenwood, N. Mex., a two-and-one-half-year job, at an estimated cost of $480,000. While I was in Glenwood, in 1947, four years after my wife’s passing, she visited me on five different occa- sions. On each visit she appeared in. the same manner, when no other member of the crew was present, but FATE will pay $5 for each story published in this department.

She had a young, ageless look, and while she was present there was no time element. Each time I was taken so completely by surprise that I could not speak and she appeared very much amused at my confusion. From her first appearance I knew she had a message for me, but we could not find words; at least, I could not. Her expression seemed to say, “Think!” I tried unsuccessfully to think and thus she left me on four different occasions. I was in a fog as to how it would end, or if it R, V. SHOEMAKER

It was on her fifth visit that we reached an un- derstanding. For the last few years I had been trying to discover the secret of hap- piness. It seemed well worth know- ing and now, on her fifth visit, I had a revelation. All one has to do is forget self, and live a life of serv- ice! When that thought came to my mind, like a flash her message came through in telepathic form: “You are on the right path. Keep going. I will not be back for I am going to another plane.” The most confusing thing about those five visits was that each time she took me to the most desolate spot I have ever seen. I have no idea where it was. There was nothing to see except huge time-worn, sand- stone boulders, lying in loose, deep sand. There was not a living thing, not a tree, not a plant, not a blade of grass. I was not conscious of go- ing to this place, nor of returning to my work. I was with her in that des- olate spot one instant, then back amid my material and tools the next. But perhaps I should not even use _ the word “instant” as there was no time element during such experi- ences.—Silver City, N. Mex. ETERNAL VIGILANCE By Alice Williams SHALL ALWAYS remember my ast visit at the farm home of my aunt, Annie Sprickman, near. Ransomville, N. Y., in July, 1920. She was seriously ill and Mother had taken me with her to see Auntie. As she lay, thin and pale, upon the bed, she spoke of her favorite cow, who she had named Emma. To her husband she remarked, “Bill, I
Page 95
MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL want you to promise me you'll nev- er harm Emma nor get rid of her.” He merely smiled, so she continued, “T’ll know if you do anything to ~ her and if you do IJ’ll haunt you from my grave.” Desiring to satisfy her, he prom- ised. Turning to me, Aunt Annie added, “Alice, I want you to see that Uncle Bill keeps that promise.” Of course, I nodded assent. The following night Aunt Annie died. Uncle Bill, though grief-strick- en, stayed on at the farm, managing fairly well with hired help. One night that fall I was awak- ened from slumber by the voice of Aunt Annie asking, “Alice, where is Emma?” Before I could say anything she was gone. She appeared to me again on the next two nights, asking the same question. So I decided to tell Uncle Bill about it, believing he would only seoff, for we considered him something of an atheist. However, he informed me that she had appeared to him three times, in the same manner. “I guess there really is something to it,” he mused. “T did recently sell two of my cows. One of them was Emma. But how did she know it?” He went on, “Til buy Emma back tomorrow and sell a different cow.” This he did, and nothing further ever was heard from Aunt Annie’s spirit—North Tonawanda, N. Y.

FACE AT THE WINDOW By Audrey M. Antkiewicz HE PEOPLE of the tiny village of Ostrowice, Poland, near the German border, were in a gay mood one Saturday in July, 1938. Young Conrad Gizinsky was to marry Andzia Zalewsky that very morning. Twelve months before, Conrad had been en- gaged to Andzia’s sister Anna, but a few weeks before the wedding she had died of appendicitis. Now, the villagers thought, he could forget the tragedy, for he was getting a good wife in Andzia. After the wedding, festivities con- tinued at the home of the bride’s parents, Joseph and Marysia Zalew- sky. Everyone in the village had been invited and there was food and drink for all. About 10:00 that night the cele- bration was at its height, and the strains of a gay Polish polka filled the air. People were laughing and having a good time. Mrs. Zalewsky was sitting in a corner chatting with her lifelong friend, Zofia Szynkowsky, my husband’s aunt. During a lull in the conversation Mrs. Zalewsky, who was watching the young people dance, suddenly felt her arm grasped tightly by her friend.

There in the open win- dow, clothed in a shroud and watch- ing the proceedings with a sad ex- pression on her white face, was her daughter Anna, Conrad’s dead fian- cee, After the initial shock, the bride’s father was enraged at what he told himself was a cruel trick. He grab- bed a hunting rifle from the closet and dashed outside, followed by sev- eral of the male guests. In the bright moonlight they could see on the path about 15 or 20 yards ahead of them the white-clad figure of a woman heading toward the nearby village cemetery. Mr. Zalewsky ordered her to stop and when she did not, fired several shots. At that range he could not possibly have missed. The figure never faltered, but continued a few yards further and then vanished. The men spread out and searched, but they failed to locate their quarry. They returned to the house to find it in confusion. The bride was in a state of shock and several elderly ladies were hysterical. Although it was usual for wedding parties to last two or three days, this one ended that night. I heard the story from my hus- band, who was 15 at the time. He had been at the party, although in an- other room, and so he witnessed all that happened except for the appari- tion which was seen by his aunt. It is said the bride never fully re- covered from seeing her dead sister’s ghost, for six months later she too died.— Clifton, N. J.

MAKE IT AN ADVENTURE, by Marcus Bach, Prentice-Hall, Inc., Englewood Cliffs, N.J., 1962. 207 pages, $4.95. : Make what an adventure? The whole of life, no less. And since life is so full of a number of things so is this book. To make one’s life a continuous adventure is a challenging thought, but a difficult prescription at times. So Mareus Bach lends a helping hand by giving illustrative exam- ples and offering suggestions on many affairs of life. The book has three main divisions dealing with three kinds of adven- ture: personal, social, and spiritu- al. The dramatic opening chapter would inspire even a wooden In- dian, but sustained interest is de- pendent upon a real desire to learn something of value, not just be en- tertained. Not all is dramatic, and not allis new to one’s own thinking or reading but there is plenty of value for everyone who approach- es the book with a sincere desire to live a richer, more satisfactory life —to take life in stride and live it fully, in the right sort of way. Indeed, there is transforming power in this book, but it is not 4 : adh NEW BOOKS all ‘auenrae apparent.

If you are the kind of person for whom Marcus Bach writes, you will find that it could be very useful indeed, and you may end up by deciding to enter wholeheartedly into this program. After all, life is an adventure, so why shouldn’t it be lived like one? Make It An Adventure has the easy reading characteristic of Mar- cus Bach, the direct and friendly discourse, marked by sincerity and the questing spirit, religiously ori- ented. He has this to say about his own quest, and one conclusion he has reached: “Believing as I do, that my life’s purpose is to interpret for myself and others the things people live by so we may all learn how we ourselves may live better, I must point out that I have found no sin- gle individual who has ever fully comprehended all of life .. . But one thing I have surely learned; the best adjusted and the most vital individual is he who keeps his spirit, mind, and being alive with the ad- venturous quest. How is this done? It is done by relating your life to all life, by recognizing that there is always an unrealized potential.” Make your life one continuous ad- venture, and draw on that potential! That is the message, and those who really “get” it and learn to apply it will have gained a pearl of great price.—Harold Steinour.

NEW BOOKS strangest yet. However, it is happily free from the exasperating vague- ness that mars so many works of its kind. The author comes right out and states that “the wording of Scripture proves”—according to his understanding—“that our Universe and all life is controlled by Elec- tronic Energy.” He writes in a direct, straightfor- ward fashion that should please all Christian readers looking for fur- ther light on Bible interpretation. Innumerable scholars have attempt- ed to explain the Holy Scriptures. I have lent them my ears, and they have been left ringing. And if Mr. Maurer, Sr. also disappoints, he at least makes it interesting. He solves—to his own satisfac- tion, if not to this heathen review- er’s—the mystery of creation, and he does it by using “electrons and atoms.” The story of Adam and Eve is finally cleared up, and the cause of the World Flood explained. He tells us how the Arctics were formed, why the Earth tilts, why we have summer and winter, and gives the reason for the Sun Spots. Ortho- dox scientists will be delighted! Isaac and Abraham, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, King Solomon in all his glory, Nebuchadnezzar in all his in- famy, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ move dramatically through the pages of this carefully written book, with appropriate Bible passages appearing in just the right places to substantiate the author’s extraordinary findings. He points out that “after 45 years of sincere study in the fields of sci- ence and history, including Bible history, the solution of how the Genesis creation actually came about has become apparent to me.” He is NOW .ce University Professor Shows You How To Start Living Life To The Full!

Of course, Truth has to be some- where—Bible Truth like every other Truth. And perhaps we shall find it if we try hard enough. Plato taught that the soul contains All-Wisdom, but that in being born it becomes veiled to us. He also taught that we can penetrate the veil. How? Per- haps by considering all views and trusting to intuition as to which is right. But then the trouble is that everyone who disagrees can claim that his intuition tells him that our intuition is wrong. This business of determining Truth becomes an extremely per- sonal matter. If you haven’t yet made up your mind on what Bible Truth is, perhaps Unveiling the Mystery of Creation will give you a nudge in the right direction.

a Hence ‘NEW BOOKS to those who, like the author, “have lost their faith, no longer subscribe to the religious beliefs in which they were reared, have been disillusioned.” The writer now thinks less than for- merly of the “social applications of ethical religion”, and considers the- ology “the science above all sci- ences.” He regards “the very act of faith as the creative factor in the universe ... the power that changes possibilities into actualities ... the dynamic that makes something out of nothing,” and believes that “God cannot be the object of faith, but the fact of faith.” Faith, he tells us, is ‘not some- thing that men can use, but some- thing that lays hold on them, and uses them for its own ends .. . not something which serves them, but something which they must serve.” “we do not possess Faith, Hope, Love, but are possessed by them.” For “God should not be held responsible for the evil in the world. He is a struggling Deity—trying to bring order out of chaos, change evil into good... an experimenting Deity.” Similarly, “we do not possess fear, hate, but are possessed by them... “Man does not create God in his own image, but God seeks to reveal him- self through the imperfect images in man’s mind.” On the whole, I think that this book will commend itself mainly to readers interested in religious phil- osophy. Those interested in psychic and occult subjects will find little here to reward them.

MAN AND THE SUN, by Jacquetta Hawkes. Random House, New York, 1962. 277 pages, $5.00. The sun which sheds light and warmth on planet Earth is only a medium-sized star, yet to the intel- ligent bipeds aware of their de- pendence upon it, it is, and has been from the beginning of that aware- ness, the most important of the countless multitude ox stars that bejewel the sky. Man and the Sun is the panoramic and colorful story of the spiritual -and intellectual ways in which the various races and civilizations of man have acknowledged the intimate bond between their frail lives and the sun’s blazing orb. Myths and rituals associated with the sun be- gan with the dawn of human con- sciousness. From the first prehis- toric savages who beheld its golden dise with awe and wonder, man has identified the sun with divinity and has attempted to make that sense of divinity an intregal part of his daily existence. Sun priests, for instance, claimed to possess a special ability te com- municate with the Divine Father and to be able to intercede with him for the good of his wayward chil- dren. Egyptian pharaohs reached such exalted status as to be regarded by their subjects as living incarna- tions of the Sun God. Millennia of sun worship carried over into early Christianity, so that “paganism be- eame Christianized and Christianity became paganized,” as Jacquetta

NEW BOOKS Hawkes shows with a surprising list of parallels. She begins her book with what is its logical beginning—the birth of the sun itself. Her account is in terms of current scientific theory, but her poetic and evocative style makes theory as fascinating as an. eye-witness report of a dramatic event. Next she describes the crea- tion of Earth and the other planets of our solar system, and the way life is thought to have spawned in Earth’s primeval oceans. From here she skips along the lad- der of evolution to the birth of man, the second of the two principal ac- tors on her cosmic stage. Sketching man’s dawning awareness of his re- lationship with the sun, she recounts solar worship by Stone Age peoples, Mesopotamian civilizations, theEgyp- tians, the Mayans, Incas and Aztecs, 107 and the builders of Stonehenge. As man painfully climbed the long, uphill path of civilization, the view he held of his relationship with the solar orb underwent changes. First he saw the sun as a “heavenly fa- ther,” bringing warmth and fruit- fulness to Earth, then as a symbol of. order and justice. In the process, man’s conception soared to the heights and plumbed the depths. In Egypt his intellectual groping reach- ed its loftiest peak in the benevolent monotheism of Pharaoh Akhenaten. In Central America it reached its lowest ebb in the bloody human sac- rifices of the Aztecs. From theological conceptions asso- ciated with the sun Jacquetta Hawkes (who lives in England and is married to J. B. Priestley, noted author and critic) carries the reader into the evolution of the philosophi- a new dimension in ESP... space . in which Dan Tassi suggests that by journeying into the unexplored depths of the mind man can “‘obtain a distinct mental impression of, if not actually view, the foreign land- scape of a remote country or_ smell the unearthly vapors of a distant planet.’’ Read why renowned scientists support these ESP experiments about life on other worlds! Already, the Venus space-probe has verified some of this research. And future space-probes may reveal further exciting confirmation of this experiment- ation. Dr. Leslie Kaeburn, distinguished bio- chemist, calls it “fascinating from beginning to end.’’ Gerald Heard, internationally known au- thor and anthropologist, depicts the concepts pre- sented as being ‘‘daring in their scope.’’ Henry A. Bott, Science Editor of FATE, concludes that “as a tool for analysis in the physical and tem- poral world this may have more validity than conventional science may readily concede .... The experiments are extraordinary . ... It is a rich and fascinating book.’’ Pee eee eee eee Dan Tassi c/o Venture Book Shop P. O.

Readers fascinated by the romance of ancient civilizations, and in gen- eral by the archeological, anthropo- logical, theological and philosophical details which accompany them, will find Man and the Sun a rewarding book. This is due especially to the author’s skillful organization of a wealth of facts and to a lucid, lyri- cal writing style which gives the facts freshness and significance.

WINTHER DEFENDED I was quite amazed to read in the April Fate Dr. Nandor Fodor’s remarks about Dr. Christian Win- ther’s famous work with the medium Anna Rasmussen. It seemed incred- ible that the author of such a classic book on psychic phenomena as his Encyclopedia of Psychic Science would in effect dismiss as valueless the long, detailed, scientific study of the Rasmussen phenomena made by Dr. Winther and his colleagues, Dr. Fodor’s recent able reply to Trevor Hall’s attack upon Sir Wil- liam Crooke’s work with Florence Cook (Tomorrow, Autumn 1962) and his rejection of the much later and better done work of Winther is sim- ply one more illustration of the strange narrowness of judgment which has cursed the history of psychic research for the last cen- tury. Dr. Fodor attacks the Winther- Rasmussen work on two grounds: the rappings; and the pendulum mo- tions. In a series of articles in the Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research (January through May, 1928), Dr. Winther demolishes the notion that Anna Rasmussen’s rappings, at the Copen- hagen sittings, at least, were pro- duced by the manipulation of her larynx. Referring to the sitting of Febru- ary 23 (ASPR Journal, February,
Page 111
REPORT FROM THE READERS 1928), Dr. Winther says: “During part of this sitting a glass of wa- ter stood upon the table. The water remained calm while the pendulums went into strong action, and also when the pendulums changed their direction and amplitudes.” And again he says, “It is worthy of em- phasis that this very promising re- sult was obtained at the very first seance with the pendulum apparatus, where the medium had. no knowl- edge or notice of the impending change: in the apparatus, and hence was in no way to practice or pre- pare anything.” As to “pulling at the wood” to make raps, Winther refers to ‘the extreme kindness of my friend, Herr Director P. Dorph-Broager, in meet- ing my every wish. He placed at our disposal a room in the cellar of his residence, installed central heat- ing in this room, broke through the flooring and erected a vibrationless concrete pillar The tabouret for the suspension of the pendulum stood directly upon the top of the concrete pillar, passing through a large hole in the table top .. . with- out in any way touching ... the former.” Also, “the... distance from the medium’s chest to the nearer side of the tabouret was about 82 centi- meters. The medium is quite short- armed, and hence could not reach the table at all.” A stethoscope is simply a micro- phone. Dr. Fodor says Professor Winther ‘failed to localize these sounds with a stethoscope.” The re- verse was true. A small inner table which could not be touched from the outside was used with the set- up. “On the 27th we succeeded in locating the raps with absolute pre- A New Dittevend Mipaot ic Publication SCIENTIFIC.

The raps were heard with the utmost clarity in this improvised telephone, while the raps produced artifically upon the large outer table could be heard only with extreme difficulty.” For brevity’s sake I must leave untouched the long list of other modalities which were used in this history making study. The cinema- tographie films, the thermometric studies, the variations in the con- struction of the plumb bobs, the de- tail given to each sitter for obser- vation, the changes in positions of sitters, the care given to vibrational tracings, phases of manifestations, force ratios, etc., make it clear that Dr. Fodor has failed to explain Dr. Winther’s results. Rather, he has worked superfici- ally with the medium, comparatively speaking, under what were perhaps unsuitable conditions for her, and has mistakenly used plausibility for proof.—Dr. Philip S. Haley, San Francisco, Calif. NANDOR FODOR REPLIES I admire Dr. Haley for his stout defense of Anna Rasmussen, whose phenomena failed to meet with a positive verdict in London at the International Institute for Psychi- cal Research in 1988 when she was our invited guest. That I had high anticipation of her seances appears clearly from my Letter from London in the ASPR Journal, January, 1938. In the same Journal in February I reported that the seances were so disappoint- ing that the original six week period had been cut down to two weeks but that the sterility of our sessions

I was discouraged many times, but the Spirit within urged me on, and today I am very happy. God bless the vendors of the “Mys- tic Eye.’—Mrs. Elsie Nowak, To- ledo, Ohio. “QUITE A FEAT” . On page 40 in FATE, November, 1962, Alson J. Smith wrote in “Dooms Days That Never Cracked” that Halley’s Comet appeared at 5:05 on October 138, 1736. Halley’s Comet, which last ap- peared in 1910, appears at inter- vals of 75-76 years. Thus, its only appearance in the 18th Century was in 1758 or 1759. So it would have been quite a feat for it to have appeared in 1736.—Cecil D. Clay- ton, Henderson, Ky. FAIRY VIBRATIONS I once mentioned to a girl who worked in our draughting room in Jamaica that I needed a “good fairy” to help me with my work. Quite casually she said, “There is one standing there right now.” This girl was well educated, English by birth, a clever draughtsman, and mentally sound. I believed her. As I told a neighbor, I cannot agree fairies do not exist even though I myself never have seen one.

CLARK PUBLISHING CO. 845 Chicago Ave., Evanston, Illinois FATE fairies. Look at the problem logic- ally. All matter manifests itself to us through the vibrations of waves registering in our brain through our sensory mechanisms. Each kind of solid matter has a wave length differing in vibration from all oth- er kinds. These vibratory waves af- fect our senses of perception, al- lowing us to distinguish various ob- jects by their size, shape, color, smell, and taste, if any. If our senses of perception are below normal, we are less aware of these various rates of vibration. If above, we are more aware. Blind people cannot perceive visual stim- uli, and color-blind people cannot perceive certain colors. Normal eyesight can ‘detect col- ors that manifest themselves in vi- brations between 70 and 500 trillion cycles per second. The lower rate is the color white, and the highest rate is the violet after red. However, some people can see higher rates of vibrations and may see things which do not exist to normal people. The process is analogous to a dog whistle; dogs hear it but you can- not because your sense of hearing is not responsive to such a high wave length. The Cosmic Keyboard is basically as follows: 10-200 cycles per second covers our sense of touch; 15-40,000 c.p.s. is the range in which our sense of hearing appears; 40,000-100,000 is a gap as far as we are concerned; 100,000-6,000,000 ¢.p.s. is the range in which radio, TV, and other devices work; 6,000,000-83,000,000 c.p.s. is the range in which other manifes- tations such as heat (and touch, again, i.e., the ability to sense heat) occur; then at 70 trillion e.p.s. the
Page 117
REPORT FROM THE READERS eolor white occurs and then the oth- er visual wave lengths. Above 500 trillion c.p.s. are other manifestations we are not aware of normally. Some people have refer- red to this area as the fourth di- mension. The human soul exists somewheie in this range just above normal vision, because some persons claim to have seen the soul leaving the body at death. These persons must have had a higher range of vision than normal. To return to fairies, there have been legends of their existence for hundreds of years, so someone must have seen something to give rise to them. My guess is that the girl in cur draughting room—like many others—has sight tuned to a higher than normal vibratory rate and can Spiritual Message Boon To All TEST MY POWERS FREE These Spiritual Miracles have been known for centuries to the Mystic Sages of India, who have demonstrated to the world the facts of their control over the obstacles in life.

Many of what seems to you the greatest mysteries of life have answers of which you are unaware. If lack of answers has left you groping, you may find a way out through these Spiritual and Divine, Super-Natural, Invisible Powers.

STIMULATING UNITY I disagree with Bob Wolcott (Fate, April, 1963, p. 116) because I loved the article on Unity. I read it at least six times and loaned my copy to a friend.

REPORT FROM THE READERS curious to me about the Mayan writ- ten language is that there appears to be no pattern of development, no progression from crude symbolic pictographs to the final stage of developed writing. There is just the developed form. I do not think it too fantastic to assume the Maya glyps might be a sophisticated level of “trade lan- guage,” just like the pidgin English used in the South Pacific for the past few hundred years. It is known that the Chinese reached the mainlard of the Ameri- cas a couple of thousand years ago. It also is believed, if one can trust ancient Chinese historians, that voy- ages to this land were not uncom- mon. In such a situation, if trade was desired, a means of written communication would have to be developed in order to keep records. Sailors are not teachers and would, as in the case of pidgin English, arrange for a simple means of com- munication. In time, this would de- velop into a definite language pat- tern.

Advertising Director, Clark Publishing Co., 845 Chicago Ave., Evanston, Dl, FATE tween Mayan and Chinese peoples, I have no doubt. For example, I have noticed a strong similarity be- tween the Mayan designs and those favored by the Shang dynasty of southwestern China. Also, the Shang portrait sculptures had a peculiar characteristic. If one covered up one side of a portrait, the human features on the other side would “disappear” and be replaced by de- signs of fantastic dragons and birds. I tried this trick on a photograph of a Mayan portrait sculpture and found the same thing occurred. I think that this is too much to be a coincidence. There had to be some contact between the cultures.—D. Bruce Berry, Chicago, Iil. UNMYSTERIOUS MYSTERIES The most humorous article in the July issue is in Report From the Readers about somebody finding mystery in misplacing his eye gilass- es and football tickets. It is mighty easy to misplace personal articles. I have worn glasses for 40 years, and several times during those years have misplaced them. A few morn- ings ago upon rising I went to the usual place where I had read the night before, but could not find them there. I then went to my wife and told her I misplaced my glasses. We both searched, and found them in my shirt pocket. I had completely forgotten about placing them there. I fear that many times we blame the poor little poltergeists for our forgetfulness, for our faulty vision, for our strong imagination, and for our desire for the mysterious. This reader reports in the July issue that the glasses were lost in one place and found in another place (Continued on page 129)
