J See by the ApPers « QUOTE OF THE MONTH No one was more dogmatic in subscribing to the idea that enough planets had already been discovered than the fledgling philosopher Georg Wilhelm Hegel, who in his disser- tation published at Jena proved by impeccable logic that the number of planets could not exceed seven. Thereby he disposed once and for all of Bode and the future of as- tronomy. — James R. Newman in Scientific American THE MIND‘S EYE aE Be ABOVE QUOTE is from a book review in the March is- sue of Scientific American. James R. Newman, the author, reviewed The Discovery of Neptune, written by Morton Grosser who wrote: “never was there a more spectacular demonstration of the extraordinary power of the mind’s eye.” In brief, two astronomer-mathe- maticians, one in England and one in France, in attempting to explain the discrepancies in the orbit of the seventh planet, Uranus, which recently had been discovered by William Herschel, arrived at similar conclusions. These conclusions were that the discrepancies were caused @e@ By Curtis Fuller by the gravitational influence of another still undiscovered planet, and that by using mathematics they could direct the telescopes to find it. And that, of course, is how Nep- tune was discovered despite the ‘‘im- peccable logic” of the Hegels of the world who had proved it could not exist. oe) RECOMMENDED READING E WISH TO recommend the March issue of Scientific American for at least three other major articles of interest to FATE readers.

until he looked beyond JESS STEARN, newspaperman and best- selling author, is a man with a passion for facts. He started out a confirmed skeptic — certain that reports of clairvoyance and ESP were based on coincidence and fraud. But he discovered he was wrong! He met Jeane Dixen, whom Franklin D. Roosevelt in- vited to the White House to predict how much time he had to finish his work — which she did correctly. Then, from Virginia Beach, came first-hand evidence about the fantastic feats of Edgar Cayce. And then came Peter Hurkos, whe sensed past, present and future, as he breke two murder cases that had baf- fled police. Newspaperman Stearn could draw only one inescapable conclusion. The future can be foreseen. There is a ‘‘door to the future!" One of the most important revelations of our time THE DOOR TO THE FUTURE offers irrefutable proof of psychic power, and shows how we may be on the verge of a scientific break- through in psychic science. It tells — e how a man’s life was saved when his wife foresaw a plane crash; ‘@ how Universal Consciousness reveals past and future; The documented facts behind a prize-winning reporter's Shattering discovery of the truth about ESP. prophecy and precognition e how the evidence for precognition sup- ports reincarnation and survival; © how the Odic force reveals itself to psy- chic sensitives; , e how you may discover psychic powers within yourself! Jess Stearn obtained the cooperation of psy- chics everywhere in America—men and women who cooperated fully because they knew — intuitively — that his report would itself be an important breakthrough. That's why this is the one book that is convincing non-believers everywhere —a record by an admitted cynic who learned that the door to the future is being opened wider every day by gifted psychics and mediums.

L Orlando, Florida FATE kind of meteorite known as car- bonaceous chondrite, which some scientists believe prove the existence of life in space. They argue this from both chemical and micro- scopic structural studies of the chondrites. Chemically, the carbon arrange- ments suggest organic origins; struc- turally microscopic particles sug- gest biological organization. Some chemical reactions suggest the pres- ence of DNA, which would be a “powerful evidence” of biological origin. Nonetheless, very respon- sible scientists, such as Edward Anders of the Enrico Fermic In- stitute for Nuclear Studies, take an opposite view. CO THE ELECTRICAL WORLD OF GYMNARCHUS HE MOST EXCITING mate- rial we found in the issue re- lates to a study of an electrical fish, Gymnarchus niloticus, which sug- gests a whole new area of sensory impressions and signals. First, let us explain our viewpoint that the mysteries surrounding both psychic and Fortean-type phenom- ena, which are the subject matter of this magazine, may be prob- lems in the nature of physical re- ality. Undoubtedly the mind inter- acts with physical reality in un- known ways yet there are whole areas of reality that still are unex-

I SEE BY THE PAPERS plored and of which most persons are unaware. Despite all the theoretical models of atoms and electrons the world that most of us admit to is the world that we understand through our 20- odd known senses. It is the expec- tation of many persons that psychic phenomena may be explained one day by the discovery of new senses and new energies that carry mes- sages to those senses. A whole new world of non-human sensory perception was opened up with the discovery of echo location abilities in animals. First, bats were found to perceive objects in flight by receiving echoes from sound pulses they continually emit. Then it was discovered that whales and porpoises apparently make use of echo location, and the latest dis- covery is that sea lions also find objects in the water and even in the dark by echo location. This also is the principle of sonar used by our Navy to locate submarines in the sea, and the principle of radar used to locate objects by radio wave reflection. Animal perception by use of echo location must be at least as efficient as our ability to see, for example, by means of a flash light beam. What we are seeing essentially is the echo location (the reflection) from the object illuminated by our beam. Now comes the discovery of still another area of animal perception PROVE YOUR PSYCHIC POWERS WITH A PLANCHETTE! now in VIBRANT colors The Planchette is a Mechanical Means for Automatic Writing.

10 previously unknown to humans, one which opens up a new understand- ing of alien perception. This is the discovery of the electrical sensing abilities of Gymnarchus niloticus. CO AN ALIEN .WORLD N HIS REPORT in Scientific American, H. W. Lissman, lec- turer in zoology at the University of Cambridge who has studied the behavior of Gymmnarchus niloticus, concludes that the fish “lives in a world totally alien to man: its most important sense is an electric one, different from any we possess.” Gymnarchus is an African fish which has no popular name. It be- longs to the group of electrical fish- es. In its tail is tissue resembling a small electrical organ. Dr. Lissman became especially interested in Gymnarchus when he observed that it maneuvers surprisingly well, for- ward or backward, never bumps in- to the walls of its tank, and darts after its prey with precision and agility despite the fact that its small eyes are “rather degenerate.” He discounted the idea that Gym- narchus could be locating objects by means of echo location because the speed of electrical signals seems too fast for animal senses to react to them. The time to emit pulses and receive back an echo from an object only a few feet or inches away does indeed seem to be tdo FATE incomprehensibly small for biologi- cal perception. Instead, Dr. Lissman and his as- sociates discovered that the elec- trical tail organ of Gymnarchus cre- ates a dipole field spreading out in the surrounding water. When the field is disturbed by an object, the fish reacts immediately. Electric pulses discharged at the rate of 300 per second from the tail region make the tail negative with respect to the head. Most of the sensing mechanisms are in the head region although the fish responds to changes over the entire surface of its body. Objects in the electrical field apparently are detected by changes in the amplitude of the pulses, not their rate. It is known that some supposedly non-electric fishes also can pick up similar signals. Question: does the discovery that electrical communication exists in fishes have any relevance to the mysterious communications of ESP in higher animals? “ ioe) CHEMICAL WARFARE ESEARCHERS AT Louisiana State University recently have discovered that a large millipede, common in the southern states, is an expert at chemical warfare. The creature secretes a mixture of poisonous hydrogen cyanide and benzalhyde, which it sprays upon its

FATE enemies. Experiments with fire ants, for example, disclosed that the milli- pedes discharged their secretions and forced the attacking ants to withdraw. _ The millipedes were susceptible to attacks by the ants if their poi- sonous chemicals were exhausted. oe) FREEDOM & INTERFERENCE HE PROBLEMS of religious and personal freedoms affect the field of psychical research and its fringe areas. For example, there are many local laws against “for- tune tellers.” But what happens when the for- tune teller is not a fraud but reads true? What happens when a medium in a Spiritualist church predicts the future? Is there a difference between for- tune telling, predicting the future, and precognition? Obviously not; the difference is only semantic. Nearly always legal attempts to curb “fortune telling” fail when a genuine religion is involved. But why should religious organi- zations be given more freedom than private individuals? ’ The courts’ attitudes vary all over the map. In Memphis, Tenn., re- cently, Earl Johnson called the fire department to chase a ghost out of his house. “I thought of calling the police,” he explained, “but I knew
Page 13
x § 2 = ‘I SEE BY THE PAPERS the fire department would get there quicker.” The police arrested John- son and charged him with turning in a false alarm. But the judge dis- missed the charge on the ground that Johnson’s actions were not ma- licious. “If I’d seen a ghost I prob- ably would have done the same thing,” ruled Judge Beverly Boushe. On the other hand, as we write, the U.S. Food and Drug Adminis- tration has raided the U.S. head- quarters of the Church of Scientol- ogy, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, discoverer of dianetics. The FDA claims that the Scientologists were using machines similar to poly- graphs or lie detectors to diagnose, treat, and detect disease. The FDA felt strongly enough about this to send 14 Federal marshals to raid the premises. Dr. Judge Fudge, assistant pastor of Hubbard’s church, says that the _ polygraph or “electrometer” meas- ures “actual mental energy. It meas- ures tiny impulses coming from the mind or from the spirit itself. It measures spiritual impulses.” He denied that Scientologists use it either to heal or diagnose but only to get information to help the in- dividual being processed. Oscar Brinkman, attorney for the Hubbard group, called the raid “worthy of Krushchev in Russia.” Unfortunately, as this conflict de- velops, it seems to be centering on whether the Church of Scientology PARAPSYCHOLOGY EXPERIMENTS IN YOUR HOME A unique laboratory kit especially designed for experiments in imagina- tion, visualization, extrasensory per- ception, mental telepathy, reasoning, illusions and judgment.

E GET BACK to the difficult problem of interference with personal rights. Recently the Chi- cago Sun-Times devoted a full-page article by Clinton R. Wilkinson to an expose’ of “fortune tellers.” Actually, the article seemed most- ly aimed at the typical “gypsy for- tune telling” booths which exist in a few areas—fewer and fewer. In the entire Chicago area, it turns out, there are fewer than half a doz- en complaints a year. Nonetheless the laws against “‘for- tune-telling” would cover practic- ally anything if they were seriously enforced. A portion of the Chicago ordinance provides that: “No person shall advertise by display sign, circular, hand bill or in any newspaper, periodical, maga- zine or other publication or by any other means to tell fortunes or re- veal the future or by means of oc- cult or psychic power, faculties or forces, clairvoyance, psychology, psychometry, spirits, mediumship, seership, prophecy, charms, potions,

I SEE BY THE PAPERS 15 For the benefit of an audience of plants, this Indian girl daily performs the classical “Bharat Natyam” dance at the laboratory of botanist Dr. T.C.N. Singh in Pondicherry, India. Dr. Singh, whose researches are dedicated to increasing India’s food production, states that experimental plants treated to dances and high-pitched music are hardier, grow thicker and germinate earlier. UPI photo, magnetism magnetized articles or substances, Oriental mysteries or magic of any kind or nature... etc.” Obviously even the newspapers advertise their daily astrology col- umns and when they are omitted howls go up from hundreds of read- ers, How wrong such restraints really can be has just been called to our attention from Bismarck, N.D., where the Judiciary Committee. of the State House of Representatives, was considering a bill that would allow members of the Baha’i reli- gion to solemnize weddings in North Dakota. Since the Baha’i religion requires all members to be married within their church it is important to them. The august legislature of North Dakota did not appear to be about to grant this concession, however. Among the opponents of the bill were the Rev. Charles Hill, pastor
Page 16
of the First Congregational Church of Bismarck, and Capt. David - Badgley, Salvation Army command- er. Both stated that, instead of opening the law for more persons to perform marriages, the legisla- ture should seek ways to limit that ~ sacred right. So skimpy is knowledge of Baha’i in North Dakota that it was even questioned whether it is a recog- nized religion. The Bismarck Tvi- bune explained: “The Baha’i religion . . . was started in Persia by their founder Bob, who had a revelation.” (?!?) oe) STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE Ov OF THE strangest puzzles to confront California author- ities recently is the death by drown- ing of Thomas P. Meehan, 38, a fine looking Concord attorney and referee for the State Department of Employment Appeals Bureau. The puzzle began on February 1, when Meehan left Eureka for Con- , cord about 2:00 P.M. after hearing a week’s calendar of employment appeals. He said he felt ill and complained of flu. He stopped at a bar in Myers Flat and phoned his wife telling her he had the flu and was feeling sick. She advised him to stop at a motel and not try to drive through. _ Some time between. 4:30 and 5:30 P.M. he checked into the Forty FATE Winks Motel at Redway, two miles north of Garberville. Then he drove to the Southern Humboldt Community Hospital at Garberville and asked to see a doc- tor. He said: “T feel like I’m dead.” While the nurse was checking him in, and before he saw a doctor, he disappeared. This was about 6:45 P.M. At 7:00 P.M. Mr. and Mrs. Mar- vin Martin, of Meyers Flat, report- ed to the-Highway Patrol they had seen the tail lights of a car on High- way 101 vanish—apparently into the swirling Eel River. At 8:00 P.M. Meehan was back at the Motel. He asked Chip Nun- nemaker, the owner, “Do I look like I’m dead? I feel like I’ve died and the whole world died with me.” His shoes and trouser cuffs were muddy. Nunnemaker last saw Meehan about 9:00 P.M. At 9:30 P.M. an- other motel employe, Harry Young, went to Meehan’s room and told him that a call he had placed to his wife in Concord could not be put through because the storm had disrupted telephone service. Young said that Meehan’s clothes had been cleaned and he had changed into a black suit and white shirt. At 10:45 P.M. Meehan’s car, sub- merged except for its still-shining tail lamps, was found in the Eel River. There was blood on top of the car and a trail of bloody foot-

18 prints led up the bank for 30 feet and then abruptly vanished. Skid marks indicated the car had veered off the highway at high speed. The right front window of the car was open. Meehan had vanished. A two-day search was made of nearby motels and hotels. Meehan’s suitcase and other belongings were left behind in the Forty Winks Mo- tel. Investigators found no clues, nothing... Until February 20, when the body of Thomas Meehan was found floating in the Eel River near My- ers Flat, 16 miles downstream from where his car had plunged into the river. An autopsy determined that Mee- han had drowned. There was a gash on his head but Coroner W. Lloyd Wallace said it was superficial. All evidence pointed to the fact that Meehan had survived the crash but had later died of drowning. Time is indescribably mixed up in this strange case. Why did Meehan feel he was dead? If he got out of the car, how had he later drowned? Why was he muddy at 8:00 P.M. in the motel and clean at 9:30 P.M.? What really happened? And when? jo 2) BIG FAT HOAX AS SEEMED likely when the story first broke, the Moscow Radio story that two prehistoric FATE tritons — vertebrates resembling liz- ards —had been brought back to life after lying frozen in Siberia for 5,000 (or 5 million) years, has been proved false. In fact, the Soviet professor quoted in the story, Prof. Lev Los- ino-Losinsky, head of the cosmic biology laboratory at Leningrad’s Institute of Cytology, said that the author of the story “should be pun- ished.” Such hoaxes have appeared in newspapers from time to time for many years. But other stories, equally amazing, seem to be fairly well authenticated. For instance, on April 6, 1935, Dr. Ralph Willard of Los Angeles disclosed that he had revived a tu- bercular rhesus monkey which had been frozen stiff for three days. He had had similar success in reviving guinea pigs and rabbits frozen to death for similar periods he said. The results were part of tests being made to determine the effect of freezing on TB bacilli. Dr. Willard felt that by subject- ing ailing humans to similar process- es it might be possible to restore them to life and improved health. Within 10 days 180 persons were on record as prospective subjects for deep freeze experiments. A . young man was selected for a test (he later turned out to be the son of a Columbia University profes- sor), but the experiment never came

GO THE WHITE DOVE E Bee STORY IS very late, but so unusual we want to tell you about it anyway. Last June, a Hun- garian refugee named Istevan Rus- kar was picked up by Ohio author- ities for hitchhiking, and with that fine sensitivity for human rights so typical of many rural areas was sentenced to the jail in Warren County, Ohio. After his release, Ruskar made his way to the roof of a two story building in Lebanon. Police were called for fear he might jump, but shouting and gesticulating, the poor fellow made his way down to the street again and began walking north on Ohio Route 48. A veritable procession followed Ruskar as he walked along the high- way shouting and preaching in Hun- garian. Suddenly a white dove appeared out of the sky, hovered above him, and landed on his shoulder. He slapped it away. But the bird re- turned and perched on his left fore- arm. And so the two continued down the highway with Ruskar shouting and waving his right arm until the bird flew away. State po-

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.

He was in the laundry building of his park at the time. “T don’t know why I knew. I just did. I turned around and saw something —a blue flash of light. I closed my eyes and held my breath.

The Nixons were at a drive-in movie, but Mrs. Nixon was un- easy; she had been worrying about fire for some time. When they left the movie they didn’t stop to eat as usual, but went directly home, a drive of eight miles. When they got there they saw little Tommy Delgado, 5, standing on the front porch of the nearby home, holding the door open to force smoke from the house.

The boy told Brazilian police an incredible story—that two globular objects had visited his home and taken away his terrified father. By Coral: hy O’ AUGUST 20, 1962, a fright- ened 12-year-old boy told po- lice investigators from Diamantina, Brazil, that two strange, globe- shaped objects had taken his father away. Through wracking sobs he poured out a story which is unparal- leled in UFO history. The incident involving the disap- pearance of Rivalino Mafra da Silva began in the early morning of Au- gust 20. Mr. da Silva and his three sons, Raimundo, 12, Fatimo, six, and Dirceu, two, were in bed. The father and oldest son were awaken- ed by the sound of running steps. Raimundo got the impression that people were walking hurriedly through the bedroom and called to his father who lit a small candle. In the dim flickering light Rai- mundo and his father saw a strange silhouette, more like a shadow, which seemed to float about the room without touching the floor. It was a weird shadow — half the size of a man and “not shaped like a human being.” Da Silva and the boy stayed in bed, frightened, just watching. The shadow seemed to watch the pair, then moved to where the smaller boys were sleeping and ap- parently observed them for a bit. 26
Page 27
Then it glided out of the room. Soon voices were heard, together with running steps. A voice said, “This one looks like Rivalino.” Da Silva yelled, “Who goes there?” There was no answer and da Silva got up and went into the other room. When the voices again asked if he really was Rivalino, da Silva replied that he was. At this point, da Silva and Rai- mundo went back to their beds. While lying there they heard the voices discussing da Silva, saying they were going to kill him. Da Silva began to pray aloud and the voices, outside, said there was no help for him. Then the talk ceased. The father and son lay awake the rest of the night. When morning came Raimundo, although still bad- ly frightened, went outside, intend- ing to get his father’s horse in the field. A few feet away from the door he saw two huge ball-like devices floating side by side, about six or seven feet off the ground. Both objects had antenna-like protuberances and small “tails.” But one ball was black while the other was black and white. They made a humming sound and ap- peared to give off fire that flickered 27
Page 28
like a firefly through an opening. The boy was frozen with fear. He called his father who came out of the house, still praying. Da Silva’s eyes locked on the objects as if he was hypnotized by them, but he warned Raimundo to stay away. He walked toward the objects, stopping about six feet from them. At that moment the two balls seemed to merge, thus creating one large ball which now raised dust from the ground and discharged yellow smoke. Making strange noises, the big globe moved slowly toward da Silva, who stood rooted to the ground. For a moment Raimundo watch- ed helplessly as his father was en- gulfed by the yellow smoke. Then the boy ran into the smoke after his father. He could see nothing — only the yellow mist which had an acrid smell. He called to his father but there was no answer. Raimundo said later, “Then the yellow smoke dissolved. The balls were gone. My father was gone. The ground below was as clean as if the dust had been removed by a big broom. I was confused and afraid. I walked in circles around the house looking for Father but found no _ tracks, footprints, or marks. Was this the work of the Devil? My fa- ther had disappeared into mid-air. I have searched the plains and fields and thickets with no results. I have watched the flight of vul- FATE tures looking for clues to locate his body, but I saw nothing. Five days passed and nothing was found. Is my father dead? Taken by the globes? I want my father back...” This account, except for Rai- mundo’s words, is condensed from Lt. Wilson Lisboa’s report of the in- cident which was published in the August 26.issue of Belo Horizonte’s Diario de Minas and the September 4 issue of the Rio-de Janeiro Cor- reio da Manha. ; x Ke HE POLICE investigation began on the day da Silva dis- appeared. Raimundo was question- ed at Jength but did not change his initial story. Lieutenant Lisboa de- cided to make a complete investi- gation. Policemen were ordered to find Rivalino da Silva or his body. The search began in the da Silva house, then spread to the surrounding countryside. At the spot where Rai- mundo said he last saw his father the ground was clean of dust over an area about 16 feet in diameter. No tracks or marks were visible. About 160 feet from the spot where he had disappeared a few drops of blood were found. Analysis identi- fied them as human blood. The search for da Silva, by trained men and bloodhounds, spread through- out the Diamantina area. A complete investigation of da Silva’s life, possible love affairs,

She sighted a UFO in southern Arizona in 1947, organized and supervised a UFO ground observer corps in Wisconsin in 1952 and in the same year became international director of the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), said to be the oldest existing UFO research organization, She is editor of its publication, the APRO Bulletin. During World War II she worked in defense plants and in 1952 was employed by the Air Force in the range scheduling office at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. She is a member of the International Lunar Society and the Association of Lunar and Planetary Observers. Born in Wisconsin in 1925, she lives with her husband and three children in Tucson, Arizona. friends, enemies and relatives was made. Nothing pertinent was learn- ed. Raimundo’s mother died about a year before the incident; since then he had helped his father around the place, mainly taking care of the younger children, Fatimo and Dir- ceu, and doing the housework. Rai- mundo is a Catholic boy, very re- ligious, and convinced of the exist- ence of the devil. He faltered dur- ing questioning only when asked about his father. Then he began to cry. This unfortunate child was un- der obvious emotional strain. He is a small boy who never has attended school, cannot read, never had heard of “flying saucers,” space be- ings, comic books, radio or televi- sion. Lieutenant Lisboa’s report is the result of 20 different question ses- sions. Because of the bizarre nature of the boy’s story one is tempted to discount it completely or at least in part. And it is true, of course, that the sheer horror of Raimundo’s see- ing his father disappear before his eyes may have influenced his inter- pretation of the events of the night which led up to the disappearance. However, there is some corrobor- ation of Raimundo’s story. Priest Jose Avila Garcia, the vicar at Dia- mantina’s cathedral, contacted Lieutenant Lisboa after hearing of the incident. He reported that a friend of his had seen two ball- shaped objects hovering over Riva- lino’s house on the evening of Au- gust 19. Antonio Rocha had been fishing in the Manso River close to Duas Pontes when he saw the ob- jects. Although the priest himself believed the boy had dreamed and that da Silva had been murdered he, nevertheless, decided to report the information to the police. Rocha, who is employed by the mail department at Diamantina, was questioned and confirmed the priest’s report. On the evening of August 19 he was fishing near Ri-
Page 30
30 valino’s house. At 4:00 P.M. he sighted two strange, ball-shaped ob- jects in the sky. They were circling above Rivalino da Silva’s house and appeared to be at low altitude. They disappeared a few minutes la- ter. Rocha, after being told of Rai- mundo’s story, said the boy’s de- scription of the objects was similar to what he had seen. Rivalino Mafra da Silva was a diamond prospector. Lisboa began a systematic questioning of other prospectors in the area. He found two miners who related a strange story da Silva himself had told them. According to them, on the 17th Rivalino was on his way home from work when he saw “two strange persons,’ about three feet tall, digging a hole in the earth near his house. When Rivalino ap- proached the creatures ran intosome bushes. A few moments later he saw a strange object take off from be- hind the bushes and disappear into the sky at great speed. Rival- ino had described this object as shaped like a hat and surrounded by a red glow. The miners had scoffed at the time but after Rival- ino’s disappearance they had some second thoughts. Doctor Giovani Pereira, a physi- cian in Diamantina, reported sight- ing a disc-shaped object over his own house two months before, in June, 1962. He was returning from a night house call when he sighted FATE the brilliant object hovering low over his home. He was closing his car door, preparatory to entering his home and watched it for several minutes. Then it moved away at high speed, flying over the town. Dr. Pereira told Lisboa he hadn’t mentioned the sighting before be- cause he knew no one would believe him. On the morning of August 24, four days after-da Silva’s disap- pearance, an unconventional aerial object, shaped like a soccer ball, with white fluorescent glow, passed over the town of Gouveia, about 42 kilometers (a little more than 25 miles) south of Diamantina. The sighting was witnessed by more than 50 persons including Police Chief Walter Costa Coelho. It stayed in sight about two minutes, changed course from north to north- west and disappeared. A few minutes later the same or a similar object was seen by more than 100 citizens at Brasilia de Minas, a small town about 120 kilo- meters (73 miles) northwest of Montes Claros. This object also looked like a white soccer ball with a white glow. According to the local priest it hovered over the town’s church before disappearing to the west at high speed. This latter sighting was printed in the newspapers on August 28, 1962, and frightened the residents of the small towns and villages in

The boy was given a psy-. chiatric examination by Dr. Joao Antunes de Oliveiera. He was found to be sane. Dr. Oliveiera then decided to un- dertake one last experiment. Al- though cruel, the police and the doctor felt it was justified. In the presence of witnesses, Raimundo was taken to a room where what appeared to be a human body cov- ered by a shroud lay upon a table. “Raimundo,” said Dr. Oliveiera, “this is the body of your father. He is dead. You lied when you told us he had been kidnapped. Tell us the whole truth now... what really happened on the morning of August 20?” The boy began to cry hysterical- ly but denied that his story was a lie. He could only say that his fa- ther had been taken by the globes, and he added, “Perhaps they brought him back dead.” When interviewed by reporters Dr. Oliveiera said, “I don’t wish to discuss the facts in this case. They are beyond my competence. But I can tell you that the boy is normal and is telling what he thinks to be the truth.” Dr. Olavo T. Fontes, a Rio de Janeiro medical doctor and APRO’s 31 Brazilian representative, forwarded the interesting information that, al- though Lieutenant Lisboa didn’t believe in UFOs, the evidence he had collected pointed in that direc- tion. He decided to do two things: to continue the search for Rivalino’s body and, to make a written report to the Secretary of Public Security of the state and send Raimundo Mafra to Belo Horizonte, the state capital. On August 30 the boy arrived at Belo Horizonte. His companion was Mr. Antonio de Carvalho Cruz, Commissioner of the State Child’s Department at Diamantina, whose job it was to take the boy to the proper authorities in the capital. Public curiosity led to Raimundo’s being interviewed in the press and on television. Then Colonel Mauro Gouveia, Secretary of Public Secu- rity for the state of Minas Gerais, took charge of the case. Raimundo again was cross-exam- ined and given medical and psy- chiatric examinations. Three days later he was taken in- to custody by military authorities. An Air Force plane flew him to Rio de Janeiro where he disappear- ed behind a tight security curtain. No one knows his whereabouts at this time. Dr. Fontes, well-known in Rio, has not been able to locate him. A month after da Silva’s mys- terious disappearance the police in-
Page 32
vestigation was officially closed. The body is still missing and there are no clues. Policeman Clemente told the press, “No one expects to find a satisfactory explanation with re- gard to Mr. da Silva’s disappear- * * Ok HE CRUX of the da Silva - incident lies with the child. Any attempt to rationalize the evi- dence in order to arrive at a con- ventional explanation takes one round in circles. There are few pos- sibilities: 1. Da Silva disappeared willfully for reasons of indebtedness or some- thing of that nature. Investigation has uncovered no motive for such willful disappear- ance. And there would be no reason to fabricate such an intricate cover- up story even if such were the case. 2. Da Silva was murdered by a person or persons unknown and his body disposed of. His son was threatened into telling his unusual story or in some manner made to believe the story true. No motive for such a crime has been uncovered. And it seems im- probable that a young boy could or would keep such a secret. If he was threatened, surely, after the investi- gation started he would know he had only to speak up to obtain pro- tection. If he has come to believe, for reasons and under circumstan- FATE ces we cannot imagine, that the story is true when in reality it is not true, this presents an unsolvable dilemna. 3. Raimundo himself murdered his father in anger. This is perhaps most improbable of all. Raimundo is a small, rather fragile child. It is hard to imagine he would have the strength to mur- der a grown-man and then be able to dispose of the body so efficiently. Nor is it likely that he could have withstood the prolonged cross-exam- inations. Also, his grief at the loss of his father appears to be genuine. 4. That the events which the boy related to the police occurred much as he has reported them. Although we must allow for whatever amount of interpretation and distortion ex- ists in his testimony due to shock and emotional upset. Objects such as Raimundo de- scribes have been seen many times in various parts of the world; they were seen a few hours prior to da Silva’s disappearance over the da Silva house; and they were seen shortly afterward in the general vi- cinity of the da Silva disappear- ance. If we accept Raimundo da Silva’s story we inevitably are led to the possible conclusion that Rivalino da Silva happened upon alien crea- tures; that these creatures feared what he had observed and returned later to dispose of him so that he
Page 33
KIDNAPPED BY A UFO? could not divulge what they sus- pected he knew. If Rivalino did have some knowl- edge of them he has taken it with him. Although we do have considera- ble reliable testimony indicating the existence of globe-shaped flying ob- jects we have no reliable testimony concerning -UFO occupants speak- ing terrestrial languages. So the sup- posed conversations in the night which Raimundo reported and ap- parently understood are subject to doubt. If we are to doubt this part of Raimundo’s report, however, we should look for a logical explanation for his having testified to it. Per- haps Raimundo saw the shadow, heard his father’s frightened en- treaties and prayers and after re- ceiving the tremendous emotional shock of his father’s disappearance in the morning “imagined” he had heard the voices and/or the words of the visitors the night before. The 33 possibility should be considered, al- so, if we mean to cover all passi- bilities, that the meaning of what was intended reached Raimundo’s mind by some form of communica- tion other than spoken language, and since he understood he thought he had “heard.” Of course, one of the hazards of UFO research is the tendency to accept too much—I am here re- ferring to the tendency of some per- sons to accept unsupported claims of “contacts” and “conversations” with space men. But there is an- other and, in my opinion, more dangerous pitfall, this is to accept too little of the evidence because of its bizarre and repulsive nature. It is a temptation to adopt this latter attitude in the da Silva case. But we are faced with the con- firmed facts that a little boy is with- out his father, and in the custody of the military of Brazil, because of what he saw on the morning of Au- gust 20, 1962. ee Coming next issue: “TRAGEDY IN THE CARDS” Judith Speer relates how she broke up a gay party when a mysterious “voice” commanded her to “read the cards” for a woman with whom she shared a mutual dislike. She describes the amazing and tragic message she saw in the cards—and how her hostile subject verified it in complete detail .. .

the QUICK and the DEAD in MALAYA PELLS OF BLACK MAGIC cast by Malayan pawangs sep- arate the people of our remote corner of the world into two groups: the quick and the dead. For in Malaya if a person who has been cursed by rites of black magic is not quick to contravene the spell, then he is soon dead. Malaya is a land of plenty whose Sanskrit name, Suvarna Bhumt, means “the Golden Land.” But be- neath Malaya’s smiling exterior 34 In the “Golden Land” a potential victim of black magic has to be on his toes. For here curses are placed in secret— and still they produce deadly results! By De Ueeeatle Sumangalo there are sinister aspects. Of these, the most baleful is the widespread practice of black magic. Actually, I have yet to find a single native inhabitant out of the seven millions in this nation. who does not believe in the power of black magic. Professional people, graduates of European universities, are just as apprehensive of the power of adverse spells as are un- lettered coolies and peasants. Some writers on magical prac-
Page 35
~ tices in southern Asia contend that the positive results obtained by magic are solely and simply the re- ‘sult of the power of suggestion. “Such writers take this position because some forms of spell-casting require that the chosen victim know he has been cursed. Suggestion, whether auto- or external, is indeed powerful. Modern physicians make ‘use of it; so do many others in many different fields of endeavor. “However, an important point is ‘overlooked by those persons who seek to write the whole thing off as a mere matter of suggestibility, and this is that in Malaya it is the custom to keep the curse secret from the victim! In Siam and Burma it is usual to make sure that the victim of a curse be well informed of the fact. But in Malaya the victim’s first in- timation that the powers of dark- ness are being invoked against him comes when his health undergoes a rapid downward trend or his busi- ness affairs decline, or his family life is rendered sadly inharmonious. The magic may be invoked on a do-it-yourself basis or by a profes- ‘sional spellcaster or pawang. Most magic is worked by the profes- sionals. because of the considerable knowledge required to master the numerous magical solutions to the problems of Asian life. For example, consider the prob- lem of defeating a rival in love. The magical solution is to cause the rival to fail in health or even to die. The application of the magic re- quires an article of the victim’s clothing, usually obtained from the wash line at night and returned there before morning. In the inter- vening period the pawang has “hexed” it in the way he finds most effective to bring about the desired result. When the victim dons the hexed garment the curse starts to work. : Tf slow and painful death is de- sired for a selected victim, then the method used is quite similar all over southern Asia. A clay or wax model is made into as photographic a likeness of the victim as can be managed. A live bat is captured and given the selected victim’s name. The bat, being a symbol of good fortune, is then tortured to death to start the process of undermining the cursed one’s prosperity, health and general good luck. In certain other cases phallic symbols are used. These are deemed indispensible in bringing about ster- ility or frigidity. Often the sole con- suming desire of a discarded wife or mistress is to cause her former flame to lose his masculinity. I have seen many of the phallic sym- bols used in this type of cursing and they are horrible to say the least. One of the requisite parts of a phallic model is the tongue of a venomous serpent. 35 Pie Pe This snake ie
Page 36
36 tongue is inserted into the model phallus. Often rather life-like repro- ductions of the outstanding symp- toms of the two major venereal dis- eases are depicted on the model thus reproduced in clay or wax. Another artifact often used is the stuffed skin of a cobra. This skin is coiled into striking position and faces the clay likeness of the cursed one. Still another symbol much used for placing curses bears a close re- semblance to the orb and wings of ancient Egypt. The wings are placed in upside-down position with a thorn driven through the orb and through each of the wings. In all the southeast Asian language this clay model is referred to as “the wings of death.” After the components of the spell have been assembled according to ancient formula the next step is to bury them in a box beneath the house of the accursed. If this is not practicable the box may be conceal- ed in the attic of the victim’s house. Tf it is not possible to get near his house then’ the victim’s name is written on the box and the box is then buried beneath a path that the accursed one has to travel several times each day. Several years ago a Siamese fam- ily came to me and begged me to go some dozen kilometers away (one kilometer: 3.280.8 ft.) to remove such a box from beneath their house. They were mortally afraid to FATE touch it. I crawled under the house, secured the box with its repulsive contents, took it to a nearby river and threw it in. The rule in such cases is that the intended victim and his family must not touch the box and only a person who leads a blameless life can safely remove the objects. The ob- jects must be thrown into running water as soon as possible. While tra- versing the several hundred feet be- tween house and river I examined the box carefully. The clay model was such a clever likeness of the father of the household that there could be no mistaking the identity of the person for whom the curse was intended. Mere removal of the magical artifacts is not enough to insure the defeat of the spell. There are more steps to be taken. First of all, if the accursed one is morally rotten or. even moderately evil his best chance to circumvent the curse is to alter his way of living. He must repent of his misdeeds, vow not to have anything more to do with evil; he must give to charity and when- ever possible right such wrongs as he has done. He must engage in fasting, vegetarianism, prayer and meditation and seek the aid of monks to chant mantras and dhar- anis in his behalf. Finally, he must sincerely place himself under the protection of All ‘Holy Powers.
Page 37
THE QUICK AND THE DEAD IN MALAYA Regardless of the religion he may profess, the pattern of protection is much the same And there is one final step he must take, that is the wearing of jewel-blue. Indigo or so-called navy blue will not do, nor will a pale forget-me-not blue, nor azure. The deep, yet bright blue of the sapphire is considered the cor- rect protective color. Coolies al- ways wear this shade of blue and even their cheap underwear is dyed this color. Even: the rich don coolie underwear and make haste to ac- quire a blue stone to carry when they fear a curse. The stone is believed to lack full power until it has been blessed by the recitation of certain mantras which are probably not less than 3000 years old. Usually, but not always, these invocations are in Sanskrit. As a rule I keep some blue stones — usually glass — as the na- ture of the jewel does not matter. Only the color is important. I keep a few in a drawer in my desk and always carry two or three in a pocket of my robe when I am away from home. . On an average of twice a month I am asked to work with someone who wants protection. The rich are likely to bring me huge, enormously expensive sapphires to bless and the poor are sometimes too poor to buy even a 25 cent imitation stone. I cut the Gordian knot by presenting one of the stones I keep on hand and always emphasize that without the true change of heart and way of living no stone, no color, no formula will give protection. All Asian religions are fully agreed that evil cannot affect a good person. For a curse to take root the necessary fertile soil of dark emotions and a tendency to- wards negative living must be pres- ent. ; Doing evil does seem to affect the pawangs who practice black magic and those who traffic with them, for they invariably live short lives. It is traditional that they die of cancer, some equal disease, or even of the loathsome leprosy. The laws of chance can hardly account for the large number of workers with the powers of darkness -who die horrible accidental deaths or become victims of particularly gruesome murders. Small wonder that the prices charged by the paw- angs for black magic are so high, and equally small wonder that many white magicians will not, for any price, be tempted to step over the white line even into-a bit of gray. The fawangs who sell white magic. are obviously the wise ones and their feats are no less astonish- ing than those of thé black magi- cians. I personally have seen in- numerable excellent results proceed- ing from the activities of white magicians. For example, in the small town of Ayer Itam there lived a
Page 38
38 handsome schoolmaster, a bachelor of good family and excellent habits. All the local belles set their caps for him and he gave careful atten- tion to them all. In the school where he taught was a schoolmistress noted for the goodness of her heart and the plain- ness of her face and figure. She, too, set her cap for the handsome bachelor but could barely get a passing nod from him. The poor girl was eating her heart out with sincere longing but he took no notice whatever of her. The entire town was making bets as to which of the local beauties would capture the schoolmaster when, suddenly, the entire situation changed and the bachelor started calling at the home of the plain girl and taking her to the cinema. To the amazement of the whole town he married the plain girl some two years back and they apparently are quite happy together. Only a few months ago I heard the inside story of this remarkable match. The despairing girl drew her savings from the bank and went to consult three different white a- wangs. The three she selected were located in such a way as to center the teacher in the middle of a tri- angle. They bombarded the young man with their spells. The young woman had made each of them a sporting business proposition: “T’ll pay you each $50 now and another FATE $50 each when I get him.” She got him. And my strong opinion is that he is glad she did! I myself have experienced white magic. In 1954 I ate my first Sia- mese rose apple, a fruit that ex- actly resembles the wax fruit with which the West decorates its tables. It developed that I am very allergic to rose apples and soon after tast- ing my first one I was rushed to the hospital for the attentions of the stomach pump. In the room next to mine was a Hindu pawang. He was in to have a knife removed from his back. The third day of my misery he got out of bed surreptitiously and slip- ped to my bedside. He bared my chest and abdomen and made cer- tain mystical, imaginary marks on my skin the while he chanted: some of the most abominable Sanskrit I ever have heard. The little ritual took about three or four minutes. He finished with a near-shout of “Fong!” which is the Siamese and Malay way of saying Om! At that very instant my misery stopped and to the surprise of the medical staff I went home the fol- lowing morning feeling quite pas- sably well except for a spot of weakness. I wanted to reward the old fellow but he would accept nothing. A few weeks later someone pre- sented me with a fine American- made fountain pen so I put the pen
Page 39
THE QUICK AND THE DEAD IN MALAYA 39 back into its fancy box and went to visit the pawang across the river from Bangkok. He received me with obvious happiness and showed me his place. It literally was. filled with Hindu gods, Siva, Vishnu, Ka- li, Subramaniam, Ganesha, Naraya- na and many others. There were many empty niches and he explain- ed that they were for nature spirits who worked with him. He worked with white magic but he admitted that now and then he dabbled in a bit of gray magic. I gave him the fountain pen and he was delighted. As a return favor he went into a trance and gave me some highlights of what I could ex- pect in the coming months. I neither believed nor disbelieved _ when he told me that the figure 20 would eccasion me much concern in the month of January but not to worry about the matter at all, as worry would have no foundation. I completely forgat the matter until the following January when suddenly I simply had to have an additional 20,000) Baht (about $1000). I was quite disturbed as I did not know where: I’d get the extra, money which TI had’ to have by January 30th. On the 27th, 28th, and the morning of the 29th I worried myself almost ill. But at 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon of the 29th a messenger arrived from the ptime minister’s office and handed me a package containing 20,000 Baht! At that time I had not even met the prime minister! But the pawang had predicted the need and the solution. Perhaps he caused the prime minister to send the money. I do not know, but do you wonder that I get on well with the white pawangs? A DREAM MARKED THE SPOT DOG belonging to Ivor Turner of Macclesfield, England, had & been lost for three days. Turner’s wife, May, was particularly fond of the dog, and on the morning of.the fourth day she told Ivor that she had a dream the night before in which she “could see vividly the spot on their farm where the deg was.” After breakfast that day, during the week of January 21, 1963, Turner went to the place of which his wife had dreamed. There he found his missing dog alive and trapped in a fox hole-—Raymond C. Otto. ©

WEST COAST: By Virginia Stumbough : DISASTER Psychics predict that earthquakes or tidal waves are due to strike—and the researches of scientists agree. FYyROBABLY within the lifetimes of most of the readers of Fate, possibly this year, there is going to be a major earthquake on the West Coast of the United States and in Japan. Scientists and psy- chics agree that both areas will suffer tremendous loss of life, the greatest in recorded history, They do not agree as to when it will happen, nor exactly how. In considering when it will hap- pen we must move from scientific certainty to conjecture or psychic forecast. It could be any time from the present to 1999. T. A. Jagger, in My Experiments With Volcanoes, 1956, repeatedly and accurately has foretold volcanic activity in Hawaii, where he has been connect- ed with the Hawaii Volcano Re- search Association of the Univer- sity of Hawaii. Based on 11.1 year sunspot cycles, with larger events at 33 year intervals, a major lava sinking in Hawaii is due in 1968. Since volcanic, sunspot and earth- quake activity usually coincide,

According to the Science News Letter for April 6, 1957, two-thirds of the country’s leading geophysi- cists say that a major earthquake is due in California. The San Fran- cisco quakes should come between 1990 and 2000, since they come in approximately 50 year cycles along with all major San Andreas fault quakes. The last major San Fran- cisco quake was in 1940. 41 - Some psychics refuse ever to pre- - dict dates. However, Edgar Cayce said in 1934 that the breaking up would happen between 1958 and 1998; and in 1940 he predicted great earth changes in 1968-9. Jerome and Francis Hull place the danger period between 1959 and 1982; Everett Clanton in 1959 said it would be within the next 40 years, or any time up to 1999, Pressures have built up so heavi- ly in the Los Angeles area that the quake there will probably be great- er, since the earth strain has not been relieved. The Science News Letter for May 11, 1951, says it will compare to the March, 1957, quake in the ratio of 5000-one, or even one million to one. The size and extent of the next great West Coast earthquake will be beyond human comprehension, according to Thomas KE. Stimson, Jr. In The Elements Rage, Frank Walter Lane says that the Lisbon, Portugal, earthquake of 1755 was felt over a third of Europe, 1,300,- 000 square miles. The New Madrid, Mo., earthquake of 1811 had fis- sures running five miles long, four- and-one-half feet deep and 10 feet wide. It caused 30,000 square miles to sink from five to 15 feet. At Port Royal, Jamaica, in 1692, a whole city of 2500 houses sank 35 feet into the sea in three minutes. The California quake of 1906 was felt over 370,000 square miles.

42 ' Fissures have been known to be 40 feet deep, with both horizontal and vertical displacement, and swallowing both men and animals. Quakes cause waves of earth like those on water; lifts over land and sea as far as 70 miles from the epicenter with sea waves 100 feet or more high.‘ They make great rivers flow backwards, swallow buildings or knock them down, shear off water and gas mains, start fires and floods, drain lakes and make new ones. Willard Bascom, executive secre- tary of the Maritime Research Ad- visory Board, said recently in the Scientific American magazine that a terrible tidal wave will kill hun- dreds of thousands, possibly mil- lions of people, and that it may happen in the current century. It will be caused by an earthquake, landslide or other geological dis- turbances on the ocean floor. Many years of as many as 300 earthquakes a year have told south- ern Californians of subterranean disturbances, but scientists say that no earthquake has fully relieved strain, and that a major disaster inevitably will come. Residents will be warned, but must bring them- selves to believe the warnings. The two great earth belts of vol- canic and earthquake disturbance are the Girdle of Fire in the Pacific, Western Americas, Japanese and Malayan Archipelagoes, South Sea FATE Islands and New Zealand; and a belt from Central America through the West Indies, across the Atlan- tic, Mediterranean and Asia Minor to the East Indies. Over 400 of the known active volcanoes are on the shores of the Pacific, the lesser Antilles and the East Indies. On this continent, Mt. Edgecomb erupted in Alaska in 1796, part of a 1000 mile belt of volcanoes from Cook’s Inlet on the East to the Aleutian Islands. Mt. Wrangel erupted in 1819, Mt. Ranier in 1943, Mt. St. Helens in 1841 and 1907, the Three Virgins on Catalina Island in 1857, Mt. Baker in 1860, Mt. Hood in 1907, Katmai in 1912, and Lassen in 1916 and 1927. None has erupted recently enough to re- lieve the great subterranean pres- sures. Dr. Charles Richter, professor of seismology at the California Insti- tute of Technology, is reported in Popular Mechanics in May, 1958, to have forecast a big earthquake between San Diego and Paso Robles, probably near Fort Tejon, any time in the next 10 years. Los Angeles is in this area. His second choice for a major quake is central Cali- fornia, north and south of San Francisco; and his third choice, the area from Hollister to San Robles, between San Francisco and Los Angeles. There has been too long a time between explosions in the southern
Page 43
THE COMING WEST COAST DISASTER California section of the San An- dreas Fault. This fault in the sur- face rock, 30 miles thick, is part of the Pacific Coast Girdle or belt. It is 700 miles long and 30 miles deep. The great variation in altitude be- tween coastal mountains and tre- mendous sea depths close to the shore causes a weakening in the crust. San Andreas already has cost two billion dollars in property damage, and a thousand lives. . The California section of the San Andreas Fault is 270 miles long, and only a few inches to a few feet wide, the world’s longest and most active fault. One-fifth of California is slowly moving northwest, one or two inches a year, on the surface. The last big adjustment of the earth was in San Francisco in 1906, and the last in the south was in the Los Angeles area in 1857. This latter caused 20 feet of displace- ment along the fault, the former 21 feet. Since then the fault has moved 10 feet more than the land on the west. The land moves north on the Pacific side, and south on the Con- tinental side. The displacement can be seen clearly from the air. According to Joseph Laitin in Colliers, August 5, 1955, the fault enters the state east of Calexico and follows the Imper- ial Valley, crossing the dessert, the Salton Sea, going east of Palm Springs, north of Indio and north- west through the edge of San Ber- 43 nardino. It crosses the mountains east of Los Angeles, crosses High- way 99 near Horman, heads north through the Temblor and Diablo: ranges, misses Stanford University by two or three miles, passes six or seven miles northeast of the Gelden Gate Bridge, passes Tomales Bay, and north of Point Arena goes into the. ocean. Explanations for the coming dis- aster are as various as the number of persons making them. They in- clude wrinkling of the earth’s crust, . slippage of the ocean floor, tidal waves setting off the seething mag- ma of dormant volcanoes, a side- ways rolling of the earth itself, geo- physical rhythms, solar system dis- turbances. Henry James Johnston-Louis in The Mechanism of Volcanic Action says that the globe has a solid crust, which shrinks, with compression, wrinkling and dislocation. In an earthquake area there is a slipping, . shearing and corrugating of the crust over a fluid envelope. Vol- - canoes are more or less active and © violent in relation to the length of f time between explosions. Earthquakes, more common than volcanic action of recent years, are caused by (1) magma movement when volcanoes erupt; (2) collapse - of subterranean space beneath ex- tinct volcanoes, or (3) rock falls within the earth’s crust. The great- est earthquakes are from move-_
Page 44
ments of the earth from five to 500 miles below the surface along a fault or weak line. These shocks last for weeks or months. The forces which trigger earth- quakes may be slight, following prolonged build-up. They can come from rapid change of atmospheric pressure, sudden accumulation or melting of snow, action of tides, or action of sun, moon and planets on the earth. Robert S. Dietz in “The Spread- ing Ocean Floor,” Saturday Evening Post, October 21, 1961, says that ocean beds have no crusts, and that the Atlantic ridges spread apart and push Europe and Africa eastward and the Americas westward at the rate of about.an inch a year. The Pacific floor descends into marginal trenches off the West Coast, and slips under the continent at a 45° angle. Periodic slippages, he says, create major earthquakes and send giant “tidal” waves across the Pacific. In 1876 such a wave killed 200,- 000 people in the Bay of Bengal. In May, 1902, a sinking of the ocean floor eight miles off St. Pierre, Martinique, allowed ocean water to rush into the seething mag- ma at the base of Mt. Pelee and cause an eruption which, in 60 sec- onds, killed 30,000 people. Hugh Auchincloss Brown states that successive world floods are caused by the earth rolling over sideways to its direction of rotation, and that such a flood is now due. Dr. Frank A. Brown, Jr., North- western University, has done years of research on biological cycles re- sulting from complex environmental conditions including geophysical rhythms of earth and moon rota- tion. These environmental condi- tions, he says, are not yet fully understood, but it is known that they affect daylight, temperature, tides, moonlight, gravity, baromet- ric pressure, high energy radiation, magnetic and electrical fields. For the past 15 years, according to L. M. Hasbrouck in the 1960 issues of American Mercury, catas- trophe forecasts have been made with 90% accuracy on the average. This was done through a formula connected with periods of radio transmission disturbances, which are solar system signals. This for- mula is determined by the positions of Saturn, Mercury, the sun, moon and earth. Field disturbance periods of the solar system, which seem to trigger earth catastrophes quite predictably, coincide with radio in- terference, magnetic storms, sun- spots, aurora and volcanic eruptions as well as earthquakes and tidal waves. Since everything in life is elec- trical in nature and abides by or- derly, universal laws, these laws can be and have been examined to predict the future. FATE ~

THE COMING WEST COAST DISASTER Saturn and Mercury were in the same relationship to the sun, moon and earth on January 26, 1960, date of a Hawaiian volcanic eruption; on May 21-31, 1960, when Chile was devastated by earthquakes; and on August 17, 1959, at the time of the Hebgen Dam, Wyo., earth- quake. The conjunction of these bodies is very frequent, of course, and so also is the incidence of earth- quakes. R. Tonnechekin (Nature, p. 338, 1960) feels rather that it is the position of Uranus within 15° or less of the meridian which triggers great earthquakes, due to its being “the only planet of which the direc- tion of its axis of rotation coincides with the plane of its orbital revolu- tion.” Its magnetic field thus has a different effect on the solar plas- ma than does that of other planets. He points out that Uranus was only about 4° from the meridian of Agadir between 10:00 and 12:00 A.M. and P.M., on the day Agadir was destroyed by an 11:00 P.M. earthquake. The August 17, 1959, earthquake at Hebgen Dam, Wyo., was fore- cast on July 30. Hundreds of other earthquakes have been forecast through the years. Unfortunately, no one has yet worked out a scien- tific formula by which such disas- ters can be accurately forecast years in advance, rather than weeks or months. Seismologists use instruments measuring tidal strains in crusts, and long and delicately felt seismic waves, leading to accurate forecasts hours before an earthquake strikes. These instruments show strain ac- cumulation in subsurface rock at the coming quake’s epicenter. The U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey has spent over a half million dollars recently on _ seismological equipment in 30 foreign countries and 20 states here, for earthquake information. Eventually the Survey hopes to locate more earthquake epicenters, and thereby be able to predict when and where they will appear. It now gets information from 300 of 600 stations, with re- ports on about 40,000 of the million annual earthquakes all over the world, but can pinpoint the epicen- ters of only 1500. With the new in- stallations, and the help of IBM machines, the Survey will be able to locate 4000 to 5000 earthquakes annually. The Mt. Pelee eruption which wiped out St. Pierre in Martinique, in 1902, and the Hebgen Dam earthquake in Wyoming on August 17, 1959, were both visually pre- dictable by the fact that all birds left the areas before the catas- trophes. At Hebgen Dam they were gone six hours in advance; at Mt. Pelee they disappeared three weeks before the great eruption, at the time the dormant mountain started

West Coast residents in the San Andreas fault areas can watch for the dis- appearance of the birds as a warn- ing to move to safer ground. Most psychics are firm in their agreement that the West Coast and Japanese disasters are coming. Arthur Ford, dissenting, says that such catastrophes are, in his ex- perience, not predictable by a psy- chic. Mrs. Jane Savage, Lakeland, Fia., predicted in trance in 1954 that Japan would some day sink into the ocean, and on September 22, 1918, said that the east and west coasts of North and South America would be changed by catastrophic earthquakes and tidal waves, as Chile’s coast already has been changed, in 1959-1960. Hundreds of her predictions have come true in the past. On January 21, 1936, Edgar Cayce stated that if there were great activity in Vesuvius or Pelee, “then the southern coast of Cali- fornia— and the areas between Salt Lake and the southern por- tions of Nevada—may expect, within the three months following same, an inundation by the earth- quakes.” He foretold “a change in the physical aspect of the West Coast of America, and that the FATE — greater portion of Japan must go into the sea,” ina January 19, 1934, psychic reading. On August 13, 1941, he said that Los Angeles and San Francisco would be destroyed before New York City. In a 1936 reading Cayce stated that earth disturbances were caused by “planetary forces and stars and their relationships.” The 1934 read- ing said that these events would happen between 1958 and 1998, and that the breaking up will be first apparent in the South Pacific and Mediterranean areas. In 1940 he predicted great earth changes for 1968-9, a time corresponding with the next major sun-spot ac- tivity. A West Coast psychic, a young girl, says our new coast line will be parallel with Salt Lake City, and that the loss of life in Asia will be far greater than here. Jerome and Francis Hull in 1959 called 1959 to 1982 the ominous years, with astrological warnings, “based on planetary conjunctions, backing the predictions of coming events made by the Virgin to three young chil- dren in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917. Everett Clanton, in The Seven Days of Portents of Destiny, 1959, fore- tells great catastrophe in the next 40 years. There appears to be overwhelm- ing evidence that a great disaster is coming to the West Coast, along the San Andreas Fault. Whether it
Page 47
THE COMING WEST COAST DISASTER 47 will be by earthquake, volcano, tidal wave we don’t know, but earthquake seems the most likely since they have been most frequent there in the past. The only date agreed on by as many as two per- sons is 1968-9, which both a scien- tist and a psychic have named. All agree that it will be sometime be- fore the year 2000 A.D: Probably it can be predicated exactly, by the time it happens. It will be felt over a tremendous area, much greater than any affected by past quakes. Lo NEW CLUE TO ETERNAL LIFE ITHIN THE not too dis- tant future human beings may be able indefinitely to de- lay aging and death. This is the indication of experiments con- ducted by Dr. Richard Gordon of the research laboratories of the Monsanto Chemical Com- pany in St. Louis, Mo., and re- ported in a recent issue of the National Enquirer by Frank Turner. The Monsanto experiments, it was stated, have revealed that an amino acid called tryptophan causes growth and aging. One of the chemicals present in pro- tein, tryptophan activates the pituitary gland and assists pro- duction of the hormones needed for normal growth. When Dr. Gordon and his research team extracted all the tryptophan from the foods fed to chickens, the birds immediately stopped growing—although they were allowed to eat all they wanted. They remained healthy despite the cessation of growth. The Monsanto researchers, ac- cording to the report, already have doubled the life span of mice, which normally live for about a year. By withholding tryptophan from the diet of the mice, the scientists suspended their aging for 12 months. Aft- er this period, when normally the mice would have been old and on the verge of dying, tryp- tophan was restored to their diet. Like the chickens, the mice immediately resumed growing again. They lived for another year, giving every indication of being healthy and of having suf- fered no ill effects. Some of the scientists are said to believe that the suspended- aging results could be repeated with humans. A person could grow to a selected age and then, by excluding tryptophan from his diet, remain at that age in- definitely. However, Dr. Gordon cau- tioned that it still is too early to state that this actually is possible. He pointed out that chickens normally live for about 10 years, and that at least this length of time is required before full results with the experimen- tal chickens are known.

By Michacl WSoutssou What had. happened to the missing woman? I touched the scarf she had worn—and saw a horrible vision. This is the second installment concern- ing the experiences of Madame Bouissou, a cultivated Frenchwoman who has been a professional psychic for many years. She states she discovered her gift as a child and later used it to help the sick and troubled. The follow- ing article is excerpted from her book, The Life of a Sensitive, with the per- mission of the publisher, Sidgwick and Jackson, Ltd. N THIS BOOK I have described seances which have left the deepest memories, but every day, in the regular flow of clients in search of a little hope, confidence or courage, I saw tears shed, and suf- - fering, without being able to bring any consolation. The days grew heavier under the burden of sor- tows and fears which I had to bear in order to understand—a bur- 48 den which was added to those I bore personally, in a complete spiritual loneliness aggravated by my heavy sorrow at my father’s death; by that gloomy sadness which refuses to be dispelled and never leaves you from that day when no one can answer your question: “Do you remember?” I began to bow my shoulders. Once more I was to see a hide- ous spectacle on my black screen, which I was surprised to discover each day intact, without a vestige of the blood, wounds or the dead who had appeared on the cold en- igmatic glass. That day it was a tall, well-built, sunburned boy in a very correct blue suit which was too short for him, allowing a glimpse of solid
Page 49
bronze wrists . . . a man’s chest in a boy’s jacket. Quietly he told me that after his father had been killed in 1940 his mother had gone on administering a large farm in the Mayenne dis- trict, at first on her own and then, for the past two years, with his aid. They lived with a brother and a younger sister on this property. They were rather shut off from the world, because the young man explained to me, since his father had modernized his lands, he had achieved results which were very much envied by the other farmers. The previous Sunday his mother had left on her bicycle to visit the neighboring village. She had not re- turned and no indication and no in- formation had been received. The mayor and village authorities, with the help of boys, had made a search for 10 miles around. A description of the vanished woman had been posted in all the neighboring vil- lages, but nothing . . . “My mother once consulted you, Madame, and she told me she was very pleased with your advice. I remembered this and I wondered whether you would...” He bit his lips hard, but he could not keep back the tears, and he went on in a rather hoarse voice: “Ym certain they’ve killed her. Be- cause my parents have been suc- cessful there are certain people who have it in for us despite the death 49 of my father, but I tell you I shall know how to kill those who are behind this disappearance. Here’s the scarf she wore on her head at — Zs Mass. She had it on last Sunday.” He handed me a black and white printed scarf. I folded it a little, placed my left hand on it and — looked at the screen. The boy waited, slightly tense, his face turn- ed towards me and suddenly the picture emerged from the black screen. In the depths of a thick, tangled hedge I saw a body which had been thrown among the bram- bles, the arms tied behind the back with a rope, the light cotton skirt exposing the naked legs which had already turned violet; a long black trickle of congealed blood in the hollow of the shoulders from a ~ wound in the back of the neck. . . The vision was so near and so real that I saw the flies and insects on the dried blood... . It was so horrible and so real that when my eyes left the screen and fell on the scarf I felt I was touching a corpse. 2 I recoiled and noticed the boy’s eyes staring at me. “You’ve seen her. She’s dead, isn’t she? Tell me.” I had to overcome an absolute nausea to continue with my se- ance. The bramble bush where the corpse lay was at the edge of a narrow deserted lane, white with dust. The hedge had been allowed
Page 50
50 to grow unhindered and had be- come very thick, encroaching on a field which seemed to be fallow. There was no trace of a bicycle. The corpse had this single wound on the neck which had proved fa- tal. It seemed too large and too broad to have been caused by a bullet, and in fact it had been made with a cudgel. The bramble bush was almost at a bend of the side of the road, and 300 yards to the right, before the bend, I could see a thin, tall, very pointed spire. The image in all its horror was motionless. No passers by. No one. The testifying object joined me to the woman who had touched it, but to her alone, and I could not see her murderers. I gave these details to the young man. He listened and did not seem surprised. Of course he had al- ready said. at the beginning: “They’ve killed her.” He asked me if I could see a leather bag. No, perhaps it was beneath the corpse, but nothing had appeared in this terrifying picture except the mur- dered woman. I was cold and so frozen with horror that I forgot to remove my hand which was clutching the scarf, and I had to force my fin- gers open to let go. That evening I burned incense and bathed my hand with lotion. T could not sleep in my study and spent the night fully dressed, on a FATE small divan in another room. I seemed to smell the odor of an al- ready decomposed corpse and to.see those flies buzzing round the black, congealed blood. A few days later I received a letter from the Cure of the village where this unfortunate woman had her farm. In brief but concise terms he told me that the corpse, just as I had described it, had been found in the bramble bush 400 yards from a village three niles away from the farm. Louis, the young man who had come to consult me, had been given his majority by his mother at the age of 18. He could, therefore, continue to run the farm himself. The priest added that the two younger children were going to finish their schooling in the neigh- boring town and that he himself, a great friend of this family—he had been Cure of the village for 30 years—would keep an eye on Louis and use all his efforts as a Christian priest to appease the hatred and resentments which, after the liberation, risked rending our unfortunate country through ven- geances and reprisals. Not once had the young man asked me about the murderer or murderers of his mother. His’ remark: “They have killed her,” made me think, quite rightly, I am sure, that it was a murder resulting from some local politics.

My best and dearest school friend was the daughter of a clergy- man in a small town in the heart of the English country. At school, during our morning “break for milk or juices,” she would tell us tales of her home in the vicarage; how, after dark, walking down the long stoney passages, always dimly lit, “someone” or “something” would push her gently to one side; how a' door would open but there would be no one in the room, just a sound of someone breathing as if they had run up a hill fast. She told us she never could have a pet cat or dog. They would stay for a bit, then run away, yelping — the hair on their backs standing up in. terror. _ One incident made us laugh. Very early one morning before dawn the 51 Vicar, hearing a noise, went to in- vestigate and fell over a carpet bag which was full of burglar’s tools and implements. The burglar obviously had left in a hurry. The thing that walked the corridor must have pushed him also, so that he fled like the household pets. Many years later, while back in England on a leave from India, I ran into my friend at the home of LADY MAY LAWFORD
Page 52
ae a mutual friend in London. She said her father had retired and had bought the old Vicarage where he and she continued to live, and that the people of the country town had built a fine new house for the new Vicar. In due course, I went to stay with my friend for a long weekend; my husband remained in London. The day of my arrival was one of “those days” that most of us experience. It rained! (In England, it always does!) I lost my hat box, smashed my watch, and arrived in a dis- gruntled mood. After a session in the library with the old Vicar and some fine dry sherry, I was escorted upstairs to dress for dinner. While brushing out my long hair, I glanced at the door. It was open. So I shut it in case one of the maids should pass — by. A minute later, about to give a final look at myself in the long mir- ror, I saw that the door was wide open again! “These old-fashioned locks!” I muttered as I slammed the door and promptly forgot it. T got to bed around midnight af- ter an endless chat — going back over the years. I had acquired the habit in the Orient and I kept a dim night-light in my room. In the early morning hours I suddenly woke up to find the door wide open! I told myself I was certain I had shut it, but to make sure this time, FATE I removed the key after locking the door. I placed the key on my bed- side table. Then I slept soundly un- til I woke to find a trim maid at my bedside with my early morning tea. “How,” I asked, glancing at the door key on my bedside table, “did you get in?” “The door was wide open,” she replied. After breakfast we went to the village, and while my friend was in a shop, I fled into the post office and sent a telegram to my husband, asking to be recalled by telephone at once!! Sorry as I was to leave my dear friend and the comfortable old- world atmosphere of the charming Vicarage, I just couldn’t take the proximity of “the Thing”, or “It” that so obviously owned the house, and to whom locked doors meant nothing. — West Los Angeles, Calif. LONG DISTANCE TELEPATHY By Trebor H. Tims ia 1921 A LETTER from my wife’s father, in Bautzen, Sax- ony, (now behind the Iron Curtain) told of the severe illness of her mother and urged Elisabeth to come at once if she wished to see her mother before she died. Soon all preparations were com- pleted and she was ready to leave. On saying goodbye we made a pact to practice something we had learn-
Page 53
TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES ed in a course on Applied Psychol- ogy. Noting there was a time dif- ferential of eight hours between Germany and the United States we selected a suitable hour to send telepathic massages. She was to send on Wednesday and I on Thurs- day. For sometime we had no appreci- able results, until one day our daughter, Anna, in cleaning out the cages of my wife’s two pet canaries, placed both birds in one cage. The two birds, being males, had filled the house with their competitive songs, but never had been in one cage together before. My wife’s parting injunction had been, “Do take good care of Pete and Dick while I am away.” At first the birds seemed fright- ened of one another, but Anna left the room for a moment and upon her return she found Pete lying dead on the floor of the cage. They had fought, perhaps, while she was in the kitchen and Pete got the _ worst of it. In a letter to Beth I was about to relate the incident but Anna warned me that it might upset her mother too much, so I refrained from any reference to the birds. But that night I concentrated on a telepathic message to her in which I repeated, over and over, “Pete is dead.” We did not have use of airmail at that time, so it was several weeks 53 later that a letter came in which my wife wrote, “I-am quite upset to learn that my beloved Pete is dead. Please tell me more about it.’ — Salt Lake City, Utah. THE DEVIL IN MY ARMS By Grace F. D. ‘HE BIG BALLROOM was aglow; classic white pillars sup- ported the balcony over which I was leaning when I caught my first glimpse of Roy, tall, sun-bronzed and handsome. It was May, 1924, spring in the Oregon country. A moment later I ran down the broad staircase and almost into the arms of this stranger. Almost im- mediately he asked, “May I have this waltz?” The music, the masculine close- ness of him, the misty strains of an old Viennese waltz, snared my heart. The next evening Roy called at our house with a new car and met my folks. They liked him. He and I had a grand time. After he held my hand in the movie and kissed me goodnight I retired to dream. I was 20 years old and sure I had found my man. That summer was the greatest. Evenings we went dining, dancing, or swimming. He liked to fish and boat, which fitted in nicely with my family who were out-door folks and frequently included us in their camping trips.
Page 54
54 Because Roy was in the city only on weekends, he suggested that he leave one of his trunks in our attic storeroom so a few of his personal possessions would be available with- out his having to bring them back and forth in his car. This seemed to make good sense. He kidded me once or twice, ask- ing, “Don’t you wish you knew what is in my trunk?” I. was not naturally curious but later in our relationship I was to recall that remark with clarity. As autumn approached Roy ask- ed me to marry him. This was what I wanted most! But I began to have strange nightmares and was vague- ly afraid. Of what? He was eight years older than I and very experi- enced in love making. On one oc- casion we were parked on a moun- tain lookout above the mighty Co- lumbia River when I suddenly felt I must ask, “Roy, have you ever been married?” “What makes you ask?” he re- plied quietly. “Well, lots of people do get mar- ried,” I protested. “See here, sweetheart, I love only you. I want you. To tell the truth, I was married once. But my poor wife,” he did hesitate, “is dead.” “Oh, I’m so sorry. Do you have any children?” “T have a little boy, Rooney... but he is with my mother in Oak- land. She wouldn’t let anyone else FATE have him for the world.” “How old is he?” “Four years old.” I felt stunned. Was I to begin my married life as a stepmother? Roy must have read my mind for he began to kiss me and all at once it didn’t matter about his past; I consented to marry him on Novem- ber 7. Setting a definite date for our wedding gave me a great thrill, but as days passed doubts began to cloud my happiness. During one of my worried mo- ments I asked Roy, “Dear, what did your wife die of?” Roy bit his lip and answered me © slowly, “She had a nervous break- down after Rooney was born and just wasted away.” But I was not satisfied. Do wom- en waste away from childbirth? I thought not. In mid-October I was busy with my trousseau. I dreamed of a church wedding. Roy wanted a more quiet affair but gave in when he saw I had my heart set on being married in our church. The days raced by. I was still going to college but that would soon be over. Then in the midst of my happiness I began to feel that pris- on walls were closing around me. This thought began to haunt me. I prayed for guidance and will always believe that the good Lord heard and answered my prayer.
Page 55
TRUE MYSTIC EXPERIENCES One night I could not sleep but managed to doze about 3:00 o’clock in the morning, only to dream that Roy and I were already married and his wife came and said, in warning words I shall always remember, ‘You think you’re his wife but you're not his wife. You think I’m dead, but I’m not dead.” My dream was so real that J could think of nothing else the next day. I had to know. I felt this was the answer to my prayers for help and it added to my foreboding that all was not well. I confided my vi- sion, and the words I could not for- get, to my mother and auntie. My resourceful Aunt Gladys thought the trunk in our attic store- room might be the key that would unlock the dilemma. She called a locksmith who skill- fully unlocked the various compart- ments of Roy’s trunk. At first glance, there wasn’t much there, but one compartment contained some- thing I couldn’t ignore. It was an insurance policy, still in force. And a Mrs. Roy was the bene- ficiary. Even I knew insurance premi- ums are not kept up for dead wives! My mother found a receipt for money ‘paid a sanitarium in Seattle for Roy’s wife’s treatment. What had seemed a foolish fear was fast becoming tragic reality. Still I felt I must verify the facts. My future happiness depended upon it. 55 Arriving in Seattle we went to the sanitarium and found that Mrs. Roy had been a patient there but had been transferred to the State Hospital for the insane at Steilicoom. We went to Steilicoom. On the pretext that we were friends we were granted permission to visit her. In a few moments, I saw the liv- ing vision of my dreams. She was dressed in the drab garb of the in- stitution, quiet, blonde and pretty. My mother and father chatted with her about Roy and her little son, Rooney. I could hardly hold back the tears. “T haven’t seen Roy for such a long time. How is he?” the girl asked sadly. She seemed sensitive and intelligent. “He has been working long hours; very busy,” my father said, trying to comfort her. We left shortly so I would not break down. I could not tell her how he had deceived me and shame- fully neglected her. What kind of man was he? My father and mother were flab- bergasted! I wept until I could cry no more. And then I wrote Roy to get his trunk, and to take care of his. wife and child, that I never wanted his shadow across my life again. It was a shocking experience yet I shall always thank God for the revelation, for the guardian angel

THE MOUSE AND | By Wilma Richardson "THERE IS A well-loved guest in >» my home, a wee mouse, pecul- ‘iar-looking, with reddish-brown fur, cream paws and underparts, long white whiskers, and a very pink nose. He has remained a music- lover and a gentleman. My guest, a baby at the time, first arrived on a cold November night in 1961. As I was watching a musical program on television, he scampered across the floor, sat up on his haunches, shampooed his whiskers, groomed his fur, and re- laxed, listening to the music. When the program ended, he went about his business. The next evening, as I was reading, I became aware of a frisky little mouse playing around my feet. He skipped, hopped, jumped and squeaked in glee. When the performance ended, I rewarded him with a bit of cheese. He never has missed a night since. If I am at home, he joins me; if I am away, he eats the cheese and departs. He has the run of the house, but never chews my clothing or soils my be- longings. He frequently scampers into the bird cages and out again, but he neither harms nor frightens my birds. Three cats roam the house, but none ever touches him. My neighbors, who fight mice with poison and traps, and curses” and shrieks, predicted a deluge of rodents when they learned I was feeding a mouse, but none have shown up. Mousie and I remain calm and untroubled. He knows his place and keeps it, never climbing upon my knees, but remaining con- tent merely to bask in front of the TV soaking up Brahms. He is quite an unusual mouse. And some night, when he will not come to me, I shall be very sad, for I shall have lost a friend. — San Bernardino, Calif. IT RAINED FROGS By Florence Hansen N 1915 WHEN I was a little girl attending the Martin School in Philadelphia, Pa., I witnessed a strange phenomenon. It rained frogs, hundreds and hundreds of little frogs, and they covered the ground completely. When I related the incident to my father, William Nofer, he sug- gested an explanation: Frogs lay their eggs on the top of the water, and when the heat of the sun draws up the water, he reasoned, it also draws up the frog eggs into the clouds. And when these hatch, it rains frogs. This is the best answer I have heard as to why it rains frogs. — Compton, Calif. FATE

58 clined to consign Dracula and his kin to the realm of fanciful liter- ature and entertainment, others point with justification to the never- ending emergence of strange stories indicating the activities of ghostly creatures bearing many of the tra- ditional characteristics of the vam- pire. One such case is the subject of the present article. Eastern Europe always has been the stronghold of the vampire-be- lief, and of all the countries con- tained in that geographical area none attained greater notoriety in this respect than Hungary, or more exactly the Hungarian province of Transylvania, which since the end of World War I has ceased to be part of Hungary, having been in- corporated into greater Roumania. Transylvania (or Erdely as the Hungarians refer to it) is a wild and partly desolate province lo- cated in the midst of the Carpa- thian Mountains... The’ peaks and mountain passes are dotted with ruined and half-ruined forts and castles, once belonging to aristo- cratic families and used as forti- ‘fications against the Turks, Tar- tars, Austrians and other invaders. It was one of these castles that at- tained considerable fame in the year 1909 when, on June 10th, the prominent Vienna daily, Neues Wiener Journal, published a report to the effect that the castle of the Count B. (whose name was known FATE to the editors but not printed for reasons of discretion) in Transyl- vania had been burned by the populace, because it was believed to be haunted by the ghosts of some members of the noble family of the owner, who had turned vam- pires and were believed responsible for an unnaturally high mortality rate among the peasant children in the area. The noted German occultist and writer, Franz Hartmann, M.D., who happened to be in Vienna at the time this report was published, de- cided to investigate the case. In the course of his inquiries he made con- tact with an eminently reputable Austrian editor, who related to him a most amazing experience of his own, which had occurred in the very same castle. According to Dr. Hartmann’s ac- count of his friend’s tale (pub- lished in the now defunct British journal The Occult Review, Sep- tember, 1909) the Viennese editor lived for several months in 1907 in the town of Hermannstadt, which is located in the vicinity of this castle. During this time he became acquainted with the caretaker of the ancient building, and with much persuasion and good Hungar- ian wine managed to hear from the old man the story behind the re- ported vampirical apparitions at the castle. He learned that the last owner. to inhabit the castle was a

THE LADY WAS A VAMPIRE widower who had a beautiful daugh- “ar the old man died. . After the bodies were buried in- explicable and terrifying phenom- ena began to occur in the surround- ing area. People, particularly chil- dren, began to die without appar- ent illness, merely wasting away, as if lacking in vitality. The peasantry soon came to believe that the old count and possibly his daughter had became vampires after their death. s The property came into the possession of a distant relative, who chose not to reside in the castle, and thus the haunted old structure stood empty with the exception of a few rooms occupied by the care- taker, who thus was actually master of the place. He offered his hos- pitality to Dr. Hartmann’s editor friend, whose story we may re- produce now for the most part in his own words: “One evening J and my two as- sistants went to inspect the prem- ises. First we went to the stables. There were no horses, as they had been sold; but what attracted our special attention was an old, queer- fashioned coach with gilded orna- ments. We then inspected the rooms, passing through some halls and gloomy corridors, such as may be found in any old castle. There was nothing remarkable about the 59 furniture; but in one of. the halls with a large hat and wearing a fur coat. We were all involuntarily startled on beholding this picture —not so much on account of the beauty of the lady —but on ac- count of the uncanny expression of her eyes.” One of the editor’s companions was very deeply impressed by the uncanny atmosphere emanating from the picture and since he was also a psychic sensitive with some experience in spiritualistic matters, he persuaded his two companions to form a circle and, sitting round a table, wait for possible messages from the dead. Soon the table began to move and the name Elga was spelled. The three sitters asked who Elga was, and the answer was rapped out. “The lady whose picture you have seen.” They then — asked whether the communicating lady was living or dead, but this was not answered directly. Instead «the message came that if the question- ers should desire it, she would appear to one of their number bodily the same night at 2:00 o'clock. One of the gentlemen (identified as Mr. W.) consented and now the table began to act most strangely, manifesting, as it were, a great affection for Mr. W. It rose on two legs and pressed
Page 60
~ 60 against his breast, as if it intended to embrace him. The three men then asked the caretaker who the painting repre- sented but, to their surprise, he did not seem to know. He told them, however, that it was painted by the celebrated painter Hans Makart of Vienna, and had been bought by the old Count, who was now deceased. They then prepared to depart from the castle, but Mr. W. remembering the promise of the ghostly lady, decided to re- main behind and find out whether his predicted rendezvous with Elga would come about. His adventure was related in the following words by his friend to Dr. Hartmann: “W. retired to his room. He was of a somewhat skeptical turn of mind, being neither a firm believer in ghosts and apparitions nor ready to deny their possibility. He was not afraid, but anxious to see what would come of his agreement and for the purpose of keeping him- self awake he sat down and began to write an article for a journal. - “Towards 2:00 o’clock he heard steps on the stairs and the door of the hall opened; there was the rustling of a silk dress and the sound of the feet of a lady walk- ing to and fro in the corridor . . . It may be imagined that he was somewhat startled; but taking courage, he said to himself: ‘If this is Elga, let her come in.’ Then the FATE _ door opened and Higa entered. She was most elegantly dressed, and appeared still more youthful and seductive than in the picture. There was a sofa on the other side of the table, and there she silently posted herself. She did not speak, but her looks and gestures left no doubt in regard to her desires and intentions. “Mr. W. resisted the temptation and remained firm. It is not known whether he did so out of principle or timidity or fear. Be this as it may, he kept on writing, looking from time to time at his visitor and silently wishing she would leave. At last, after half an hour, which seemed to him much longer, the lady departed in the same man- ner in which she came.” One might expect this was the end of the contact of the three friends with the ghostly Elga, but such was not the case. The more bizarre and frightening portion of the story was still to follow. A variety of uncanny phenomena be- gan to take place at the old castle, where the three investigators, their interest greatly aroused by the nightly visit experienced by one of their number, were now regular- ly holding sittings around the tap- ping table. One evening, the serv- ant girl, being about to light the fire in the stove, raced from the room screaming, after the door opened and the figure of Elga
Page 61
THE LADY WAS A VAMPIRE stood there. Inexplainable winds seemed to blow in the vicinity of the painting so that candles and lamps would be extinguished mys- teriously in that area. It so happened that the principal participant in these mysterious manifestations, Mr. W., was at this time engaged in the organiz- ing of a business venture and was soliciting support for his under- taking, which was to be a publish- ing company, from various aristo- cratic and wealthy patrons through- out the land. A few days after his nocturnal visit with the ghostly lady he received a letter in which a noble lady of high position of- fered him her financial patronage for his projected business. The writer requested him to come to a certain place that same evening, where he would be met by a gentleman, whose duty it would be to give him further particulars. He went to meet the stranger, who duly appeared and informed him that he was sent by the Countess Elga and that she desired to have a talk with the gentleman right away. Upon inquiring where and how this conference was to take place, Mr. W. was informed that the Countess was to meet him in her carriage at a certain crossing of two roads, not far from the village. At this point, we may again quote from the account of Dr. Hartmann: “Now it seems that Mr. W. had 61 some misgivings about the meeting and the drive, and he hired a policeman as detective- to go at midnight to the appointed place, to see what would happen. The policeman went and reported next morning that he saw the well- known, ancient carriage from the castle, with two black horses, stand- ing there as if waiting for some- body, and that as he had no oc- casion to interfere, he merely wait- ed until the carriage moved on. When the castle’s caretaker was asked, he swore that the carriage had not been out that night, and in fact it could not have been out, as there were no horses to draw it. “But that is not all, for on the following day I met a friend who is a great skeptic and disbeliever in ghosts . . . Now, however, he seemed to be very serious and said: ‘Last night something very strange happened to me. At about 1:00 o’clock this morning I returned from a late visit, and as I hap- pened to pass the graveyard of the village, I saw a carriage with gilded ornaments standing at the entrance. I wondered about this taking place at such an unusual hour, and be- ing curious to see what would happen, I waited. Two elegantly dressed ladies issued from the car- riage. One of these was young and pretty, but threw at me a devilish and scornful look as they both
Page 62
- 62 passed by and entered the cemetery. There they were met by a well- dressed man, who saluted the ladies and spoke to the younger one, say- ing: ‘Why, Miss Elga/ Are you re- turned se soon?’ Such a queer feel- ing came over me that I abruptly left and hurried home.” The above events never were ex- plained to the satisfaction of the concerned, and neither were certain subsequent phenomena in the cas- tle. Mr. W. became ever more haunt- ed by the picture of Elga. He would feel compelled to go to the painting and gaze upon it for hours at a time. He felt a very disagreeable sensation in the region of his solar plexus whenever he was near the picture, and he felt his vitality de- parting from his body. His dislike for the picture grew every day, and he developed an idea that it should be destroyed because of its evil qualities. The sittings in the castle con- tinued, meanwhile, and, quite un- like the first seance, the messages were now invariably hostile to Mr. W. whenever he joined the circle, the table tried to push him away, and messages were tapped out, to the effect that Mr. W. should leave the circle, and that the picture should not be destroyed. The thus persecuted gentleman now began playing various tricks on the ghost- ly lady. He brought a Bible to the castle and while his friends sat FATE around the table, he read the first chapter of the Gospel of St. John aloud. The sitters, particularly the member of the party acting as me- dium, subsequently stated that they saw the face of the picture fright- fully distorted while the words of the scripture were being read. In another experiment Mr. W. pricked the back of the painting with his penknife in different places, while his friends had retired to an area of the castle where they were separated by several rooms from the corridor where the picture hung. In spite of this separation, the mediumistic member of the group invariably reported pain in the very areas of his body which corresponded to those pricked on the painted figure in the portrait. In the final and perhaps most im- pressive experiment Mr. W., sur- rounded by his friends, boldly ad- vanced to the painting and made the sign of the magical pentagram over it. All those present observed that the portrait horribly distorted its face and seemed to be in agony. Soon afterwards the three friends were called away and left the prov- ince for good, only to be reminded of their strange adventure when, two years later, they learned of the burning of the vampire castle by the local peasantry. It is difficult to draw definite conclusions from this case. It is certain that the persons involved in
Page 63
THE LADY WAS A VAMPIRE the events were persons of eminent truthfulness and the reputation of Dr. Franz Hartmann, who lent’ his name to the narrative, should be a guarantee of its accuracy. The wild gorges and peaks of the Carpathians still are associated by countless thousands of inhabi- tants with the terrifying “undead,” but present political conditions in that portion of Europe make it im- possible to receive reports of phe- nomena taking place there. Students 63 of such strange phenomena con- tinue to wonder whether the per- sistent tradition concerning vam- pires is based on a valid core of truth. But as long as there are re- ported cases of the activities of such entities as the mysterious Countess Elga, we may be sure that there will be those intrepid investiga- tors who will endeavor to track down the most elusive and terrify- ing denizen of the land of the un- known. CARRIED AWAY IN A CYCLONE HAT IS IT like to be caught up in a cyclone? In a recent letter to the Hous- ton Press, Howard King of Al- vin, Tex., related an experience he had in a cyclone on May 22, 1959. He stated that with a Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Bell he was riding in a car from Kerrville, Tex.,; to Brownwood, Tex. Between Ma- son and Brady a sudden dark- ness fell as the cyclone struck them. They were caught on a highway running between two mountains. The cyclone, King wrote, lift- ed the car off the pavement and sent it spiraling like a gli- der. The car did not rock but remained upright. King stated that he and the Bells were frightened, expecting at any mo- ment to be dashed to the ground. However, they kept calm enough to remain seated. They saw only gray-white vapor all around. King wrote that when he re- ported his experience to friends who had been caught in a ey- clone in Oklahoma, he was told that he and the Kings evidently had been in the “eye” of the twister. He further was told that when the cyclone entered the pass it evidently had dipped down and had caught up the car. Judging from what subsequent- ly happened, King stated, after the car was borne over the moun- tains, it gradually descended back to the highway and struck the pavement lightly. It was de- posited about a mile back over the distance it just had traveled. King wrote he found his reac- tions to the experience impos- sible to describe, except that he considered cyclones nerve- wracking. He believes that his and the Bell’s miraculous es- cape indicates they had divine protection.

JOURNEY into DEATH “I saw my. body on the bed and found I possessed a new body. Then this body left the hospital and began to rise upward.” OU HAVE TWO BODIES, a physical body and a non- physical soul body which will shel- ter your surviving soul when your physical body dies. Evidence for the existence of a second body has been developed from a study of human out-of-the- body experiences, particularly the experiences of those who have seen both the world of the living and the world of the dead through pseudo- death. Many invaluable insights into the nature of death, and the probable nature of what lies beyond death, can be gained through a study of these rare cases in which people have been thought to be dead but eventually have recovered. I published a number of cases of pseudo-death in my book The Study and Practice of Astral Pro- jection, but I now wish to report a case which has come to my at- 64 tention since that volume was pub- lished in 1961. This case is valu- able because the person concerned claims to have had some experi- ence during his temporary “death.” To demonstrate the value of the case we now must compare and cor- relate this case with similar cases and finally relate it to extraneous facts. First, consider the subject’s back- ground of belief. This case con- cerns a Russian. Although he was brought up in the Russian Ortho- dox Christian Church, he became neither Christian nor atheist and re- jected any idea of survival. The case has been preserved for our study by the Russian author K. Uekskuell who first published it in the Moscow Journal in 1916. Cor- respondence with Uekskuell has confirmed the truth of the occur- rence which we present here in somewhat abbreviated form.

- QUITTING THE BODY “Suddenly I felt very dizzy. I called the doctor. I heard a bell ring. Then the head physician ar- rived and, shortly after, two other physicians. At another time this would have astonished me; now, although I understood what was taking place, there suddenly arose an indifference and remoteness which, as it now seems, is complete- ly alien to the living. “There was a certain state of di- vision within me; I was conscious of myself and at the same time had a feeling of such indifference to myself that it seemed as if I had even lost the capacity for feeling physical sensations. “Having withdrawn somewhere deep within myself, I did not listen to or observe what the doctors were doing to me. It seemed as if two beings were manifesting in me: one, and the main part of me, concealed somewhere deep within; the other, my body, external and less signif- icant. “I can imagine how, perhaps only a few days ago, I would have - been struck by the manifestation in myself of this hitherto unknown-to- me internal being and the realiza- tion of its superiority over the body, which, according to my previous be- liefs, made up the whole of man. “T suddenly felt myself drawn somewhere downward with irresist- able force. 65 “‘Agony!’ I heard this word pronounced by the doctor. Since I did not speak, the doctors evident- ly decided that I was unconscious and spoke about me audibly. ‘ Ag- ony, death! ’ “T examined myself. No, I felt no physical pain whatever .. .I felt an attraction towards somewhere. I already had come very close —al- most in contact with — that mag- net which was attracting me, which, if I should touch, would cause my whole body to become fused with it in such a manner that no force would then be capable of separat- ing me from it. And the more strongly I felt the proximity of this moment, the more fearful and de- pressed I became. “Well, that’s what it is! It is the earth that is drawing that which belongs to her, that which she let me have for a period of time! TI, as a whole, shall not disappear! I
Page 66
66 cannot!’ I almost screamed and made an attempt fo tear myself from that ferce which was attract- ing me, and suddenly I felt calm. “T saw that I was standing... standing in a semi-circle, the whole medical staff was crowded together .. . the young dector was support- ing something. I moved forward. There, on the bed, I was lying. I tried to grasp the hand of my body. My hand went through it. Struck by this strange phenomenon, I wanted someone to help me under- stand what was happening. I called the doctor, but the air did not trans- mit the sound of my voice. I at- tempted in all possible ways to make my presence known, but fail- ed, **‘Ni9, you cannot do anything there! Everything is finished!’ the young doctor said, and went away. I was vexed that they fussed over that ‘me’ which I did not feel. I walked up to the bed and for the first time thought ‘Is it possible that I have died?’ “Tt may seem strange that only in seeing my lifeless body I com- prehended what really had happen- ed, But if one considers that which I experienced, it becomes. under- standable. With our understanding of the word ‘death’ there is inex- tricably. bound up the idea of a ces- sation of life. How could I think that I had died when I did not lose consciousness for a moment, when FATE I felt myself just as alive, hearing all, seeing all, conscious of all, ca- pable of movement, thought and speech? Even the words of the doc- tor, ‘All is over,’ did not call forth a guess concerning that which had taken place — to such a great ex- tent did that which took place with me differ from our conceptions of death! The dissociation from every thing about me, the split in my per- sonality, could have made me un- derstand that which had taken place, if I had believed in the ex- istence of a soul. “But this was not the case and I was guided solely by that which I felt, and the sensation of life was so clear that I only was perplexed by the strange phenomenon, being quite unable to link my feelings with the traditional concept of death. “The doctors left the ward. The nurse turned to the ikon and said, ‘Eternal peace to him!’ Hardly had she uttered these words than two angels appeared at my side. Having picked me up by the arms, they carried me right through the wall into the street. We began to ascend quickly. Certain peculiarities of vi- sion became apparent. First, al- though it was. dark, I saw every- thing clearly— my vision had _ re- ceived the capacity of seeing in the ‘dark! Secondly, I saw a vast ex- panse which I would not be able to see with my ordinary vision. “T de not know how long we had
Page 67
JOURNEY INTO DEATH moved upwards, when suddenly there emerged a throng of hideous beings, evil spirits! ...They tried to tear me away from the angels, but evidently did not dare to do this. I prayed for help... “Suddenly there appeared a kind of white mist which concealed the ugly spirits. We continued to move upwards and I saw a bright light, much more intense than sunlight, above me. It literally blinded me. .. Then the words resounded from above: ‘Not ready!’ We began to descend. “T did not understand the. real sense of the words... But soon the outlines of a city became visible; then I saw the hospital...and I was carried into a room completely unknown to me. In this room there stood a row of tables and on one of them, covered over, I saw my dead body. My guardian angel pointed to my body and said, ‘Enter.’ ” RE-ENTERING THE BODY “At first I felt as though some- thing pressed close about me. After this followed the sensation of un- pleasant cold, and the return of this capacity vividly brought back to life the conception of my earth-life. A feeling of deep mourning came over me, as though I had lost some- thing. ; ~“T felt a sensation of ever-in- creasing tightness about me and, _finally, I lost consciousness. When 67 I recovered consciousness I was in bed in the hospital ward. At my bedside was the head physician; tense alertness and confusion were in his eyes. The young doctor lit- erally fastened himself to me with his eyes...They failed to under- stand... but there is no doubt in the veracity of that which I have written — my soul temporarily left my bedy and thereafter returned to i x ok Ox Me ASPECTS of this report suggest that it is a true and accurate account of the death ex- perience. The Russian reported es- sentially the same events and ex- periences noted in other cases which I have been able.to investigate thor- oughly. For this reason I am sure the report is not a deliberate in- vention. Moreover, it could not be a dream because I have collected dozens of these reports and it seems unlikely that dozens of independ- ent persons would dream this iden- tical dream under the circumstan- ces of dying. And, finally, it makes a logical and reasonable account on the ob- vious hypothesis — for which there is independent evidence — that hu- man beings possess a second body that is normally in gear with the physical body and therefore nor- mally exists unnoticed. Names for this second body are legion: St. Paul called it the spiritual body;
Page 68
68 Sylvan Muldoon calls it the astral body; I prefer the term soul body. Let us now consider the similari- ties that exist between this account of pseudo-death by the Russian and the accounts of temporary releases of the soul body analyzed in my The Study And Practice Of Astral Projection. It should be pointed out that there are many gradations between temporary out-of-the-body condi- tions, ranging from pseudo-death, to out-of-the-body experiences due to mere fatigue and to those cases in which the person is quite well but, nevertheless, experiences the phenomenon. The last group is by no means small. The events and experiences re- ported in all these varied condi- tions are essentially the same. This surely is significant and leads one to believe, as our Russian friend in- sisted, that the experiences are gen- uine and not fantasies of the imag- inations. The Russian’s experience of pseudo-death began with a feeling of dizziness. Sylvan J. Muldoon, though ill, did not approach pseudo- death. He had hundreds of out-of- the-body experiences which he de- scribed in The Projection of the Asiral Body. He called dizziness “a condition of looseness of the astral body.” Although it can be caused by many things, he observed, “Diz- ziness indicates that the astral body FATE is not bound tightly to the physical _ body. When dizzy, we stagger be- cause the astral body is loose and half inclined to withdraw from the physical.” The Russian next felt himself drawn downwards; he seems to be sinking or falling. Several people gave identical descriptions: Gail Hamilton, the American author, and an English colonel both used the word “sinking.” This feeling was deceptive — if a man falls from an airplane he feels as though the earth is coming toward him. Ob- versely, if the soul body is rising up and leaving its physical counter- part one may feel that he is falling. The Russian observed a dissoci- ation within his total self. Identi- cal descriptions have been given by others. A former professor of anat- omy suffered pseudo-death and re- ported, “I was very ill but suddenly realized that my consciousness was separating from another conscious- ness, which was also ‘me.’” He dis- tinguished between an ‘“ego-con- sciousness” and a “body-conscious- ness” and said, “The ego-conscious- ness, which was now ‘me,’ seemed to be altogether outside my body, which I could see.” N.F. Ellison similarly stated: “T became conscious that I was out- side myself; that the real ‘me,’ the ego or spirit, was entirely separate and outside my body. I looked in a wholly detached and impersonal
Page 69
JOURNEY INTO DEATH way upon the discomforts of my body.” Contrary to all expectations, the Russian discovered that the pro- cess of dying, i.e., the separating of the soul body from the physical body, involves neither fear nor physical pain. This, too, has been reported by others. Elizabeth Blakely observed, “T was no longer in pain.” Gail Hamilton stated, “There was no pain, no alarm, no fear.” Mrs. Tar- sikes said, “There is no great pain in death.” Dr. Enid Smith “felt no pain;” Georginus “became insensi- ble to pain;” Miss Marjorie John- son was “free from pain;” Mrs. Howard Jeffrey Sr. felt no “hurt;” and F.S. Smithe felt “no pain or fear.” The Russian observed for him- self something of great importance, namely, that when he came to die —and therefore throughout earth- life —he already possessed a soul body. Others also have made this first-hand observation. Miss Yeo- man said, “I found myself standing beside the bed looking at the body on the bed. To my surprise I found that I still had hands and feet and a body, for I had always re- garded the soul as without shape and void.” Another unexpected observation of the Russian was that he was no different in “capacities, conceptions and knowledge” out of his physical , 69 body than he was just before he left it. He had not become an omn- iscient “angel.”” Numerous others who had out-of-the-body experi- ences discovered the same thing. Our Russian deponent did not at first realize that he was out of his physical body. This is not surpris- ing, since he could see the room and the people in it, could see his own soul body, and had not change mentally. But the sight of his phys- ical body made him think. Many people who had out-of-the body ex- periences describe the same predica- ment. Under these circumstances it is. not surprising that the Russian ob- served that the process of death was not what he had expected. Many others who underwent pseudo-death and astral projection have made the identical observation. The Russian after a time noted an expansion of consciousness — he could see in physical darkness and his range of vision was vaster than that of physical sight. Simil- arly the former professor of anat- omy stated, “I could see not only my body and the bed, but every- thing in the whole house and gar- den. Then I saw not only things at home, but in London and in Scot- land, in fact wherever my atten- tion was directed.” The Russian first passed through an environment in which there were evil spirits, ie. fantasies of the
Page 70
NAS 70 semi-dream world which was called “Sheol” by the ancient Hebrews, “Hades” by the Greeks and Ro- mans, “Amenta” by the Egyptians, “Kama Loca” by the Hindus, and “Bardo” by the Tibetans. He glimpsed but did not enter “the Kingdom of Light,” ie., the “Paradise” of the Persians, the “Elysium” of the Greeks, “Swarga” or “Devacham” of the Hindus. Many, whose out-of-the-body expe- riences I have analyzed, went even further into the “Paradise” condi- tion. Like all mortals, this Russian, was averse to death, but once out of his physical body he was most re- luctant to re-enter it. This reluct- ance to return to earth-life is char- acteristic of out-of-the-body experi- ences. As he contacted his physical body, he noted the unpleasant sen- sation of cold, which is not sur- prising since that body was practi- cally dead. Sir. A. Ogston who suf- fered pseudo-death through typhoid fever described his body as‘a “chilly mass” and he re-entered it with “srowing repulsion.” Finally, the re-engagement of the soul body with the physical body gave a feeling of contraction. This can be considered highly evidential as to the genuineness of the experi- ence in view of the fact that the release of the soul body from the physical body had brought an ex- pansion of consciousness. The case FATE of Dr. A. S; Wiltse, an American who suffered pseudo-death, is very similar, The actual re-engagement of the soul body with the physical body caused the Russian to black- out momentarily. * Ok T IS IMPORTANT to note that only after his experience of pseudo-death did this Russian understand why he had failed to realize he was dying. There are two reasons for this and he himself rec- ognized them. First, until after the experience, this man did not know that he was a soul temporarily housed in a phys- cal body. Although the church had told him this, he had not believed it. Secondly, although the priests had taught him that he possessed a soul, they had failed to tell him that his soul in turn possessed a body and that he was using it every time he thought, felt, or willed through- out earth-life, although he was un- conscious of its existence because it was enmeshed with his physical body. They also had failed to tell him that the soul body is developed by honest thought, self-sacrificing af- fection and determined desire so that it becomes a fit and efficient instrument of the surviving soul when the physical body fails and has to be left behind. Thus a happy and useful earth-life is followed by
Page 71
JOURNEY INTO DEATH a happy, useful life in “Paradise.” I do not claim this matter to be “scientifically proved” —a term that applies to “simple” physical things not to highly complex biolog- ical matters, and still less to exceed- ingly complex human experiences. 71 In human experience, probability is perhaps our only guide. The mere cases of soul body experience we can collect and study, the greater the probability of its reality, until it will (I believe) be considered prac- tically certain. Ge ANSWER TO A DYING MAN’S PRAYER By Raymond C. Otto NE WEEK-END in June, 1909, Father Francis J. Keller journeyed by rail and stagecoach to Gillette, Wyo., a town which recently had been attached to his Buffalo, Wyo., parish. He had sent word ahead that Mass would be offered there on Sunday. After the Mass one of the worshipers rode up leading a fine saddle horse. “Father,” he said, “you can’t get a train back till late tonight. Would you like to take a ride in the hills with me?” The priest gladly assented and soon they were out on the trackless prairie. They had gone about nine miles when they saw something moving in the dis- tanee. They thought it might be a signal from a cowboy, so they rode quickly in that direction. They eame upon a woman who appeared about 30 years of age, and they saw she had been wav- ing a white tablecloth. “Father,” she said calmly, “I’ve been looking for a priest. My brother is dying.” She led them to where a tent was pitched nearby. Inside, ly- ing upon a cot, was an emaci- ated man of about 35. His eyes were clear and he was alert. Quickly the priest heard his Confession, and then anointed him. The man died as soon as Father Keller concluded the prayers for the dying. Then the woman said, “All his life my brother has been pray- ing for a priest at death. This morning he and [ prayed to- gether for the last time. Then I went outside and started waving the tablecloth, although I had no idea where we might find a priest around here, as nobody told me you were having Mass at Gillette today.” ut

Bringing THE BIBLE By ALSON THE RAISING OF THE DAUGHTER OF JAIRUS — From Luke 8:41-56 — 40 And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people glad- ly received him: for they were all waiting for him. 41 And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come unto his house: 42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a-dying. But as he went, the peo- ple thronged him. 43 And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, 44 Came behind him and touched the border of his garment: and im- mediately her issue of blood stanched. 45 And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter, and they that were with him said, Mas- ter, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? 46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that vir- tue is gone out of me. A7 And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had 12 touched him, and how she was healed immediately. 48 And he said unto her, Daugh- ter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 49 While he yet spake, there com- eth one from the ruler of the syna- gogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. 50 But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, “Fear not; believe only, and she shall be made whole. 51 And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. 52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. 538 And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. 54 And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. 55 And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he com- manded to give her meat. 56 And her parents were aston- ished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

J. SMITH UP TO DATE In the Light of Parapsychology pr li i rl and Modern Knowledge N THIS SHORT PASSAGE of Luke, Chapter 8, we have two “miracles,” the healing of the hem- orrhaging woman and the raising of the young daughter of Jairus. We are told that the woman who touched Jesus and was healed in- stantly had suffered from her af- fliction for 12 years and had been treated by many doctors, so there is perhaps reason to suspect she was something of a hypocondriac. Of - course, her affliction may have been psychosomatic however real it was. We do know that she had great faith in Jesus and that the mere touching of the hem of his garment was a tremendous emotional experi- ence for her. As Jesus tells her, her faith made her whole. This is prob- ably the best example of pure faith healing in the entire New Testa- ment. We have here, also, the statement from Jesus that he knew some one person had touched him because he felt “virtue” go out of him. The apostles were astonished that Jesus could know he had been “touched” when he was surrounded on all sides by a pressing crowd. However, it is clear that Jesus meant he had been touched for a purpose and that the psychic healing which the woman 73 attained, instantly, affected the healer, Jesus, as well as affecting the woman who was healed. Some- thing had “gone out” of the healer. The second and more important “miracle” here is the raising of the daughter of Jairus. In it we see Jesus displaying amazing clairvoy- ance when he says, “She is not dead but sleepeth.” And he speaks with great spiritual authority when he says, “Maid, arise.” These things, plus the powerful charisma that surrounded him, sufficed to rouse the girl from the coma into which she had fallen. We have to accept as the truth the clairvoyant judgment of Jesus that the girl was not really dead. Unlike the raising of Lazarus and the son of the widow Nain, this was not a restoration to life, even though Luke uses the phrase “her spirit came again.” She was revived, not re- stored, although her coma may have been a prelude to death had not Jesus intervened. From the point of view of para- psychology the most interesting thing in this incident is the clair- voyance of Jesus. It is only one of his psychie abilities, but never is it more clearly or more importantly displayed than here.

By Brackett KK Thorogood Investigators kept this controversial medium “in isolation’”—yet she produced thumbprints in locked boxes! HE CONTROVERSY over whether the medium Margery was or was not a fraud has smol- dered for many years. Nor is it settled yet —and that it ever will be is unlikely at this late date. It would be unfair to Margery if we did not add to the record the very detailed and seemingly care- ful, accurate and foolproof work done with Margery by Brackett K. Thorogood and his committee. Mr. Thorogood, before retirement, was Director of Franklin Institute, founded by money left by Benjamin Franklin, in Boston. Mr. Thorogood is listed in Who’s Who In The East. The information and the tech- niques of control described in this 74 article would seem to refute many of the accusations made against Margery, who was called a fraud by some of the top investigators of her day. Dr. Joseph B. Rhine pointed out the possibilities for her being a fraud after one sitting on the eve- ning of July 1, 1926. So did committees who had in- vestigated Margery — committees made up of such men as Dr. Wil- liam MacDougall of Harvard, Dr. R. W. Wood, of Johns Hopkins, Dr. Daniel Frost Comstock, of M.I.T., and Rev. Dr. Walter Frank- lin Prince, Research Officer of the American Society For Psychic Re- search, Dr. Harry Price of the Uni-

Fingerprints reportedly appeared in plas- ticine securely locked in this strong box. Separate, solid rings of different woods were instantly linked at Margery seances. versity. of London, and Harry Houdini, the magician. Perhaps the greatest blow to Margery’s prestige came when the Scientific American offered $2500 to any medium who could satisfy four of the five man committee set up that phenomena were produced by supernormal means. This com- mittee held some 90 sittings with Margery. During these sittings a great deal of phenomena was demonstrated but always with Dr. Crandon, the medium’s husband, controlling her right side as she sat in a restrain- ing cabinet. The question finally became whether Margery produced the varied phenomena with a tele- 75 plasmic arm or hand extruded from her body as Walter claimed, or whether she was using some sort of reaching rod, despite the wires and harness which were supposedly controlling her. On the evening of August 26, 1924, Houdini and Walter, Marg- ery’s control, got into an argument over who had secreted a two-foot folding carpenter’s rule in the seance cabinet. Walter announced its presence, accusing Houdini of placing it there. This ended the Scientific American investigation. Thereafter, Houdini denounced Margery as a fraud from the stage of Keith’s Boston theater and the controversy between Houdini and
Page 76
76 the Crandons and their supporters continued to rage. Margery did not get the Scien- tific American’s $2500. The verdict of the committee was “supernormal- ity not proved.” Comstock, Prince and MacDougall held that the phenomena they had witnessed had been “produced normally” —a polite way of saying the medium was a fraud. Houdini, of course, shouted “fraud” at the top of his voice. Of the five committee mem- bers only Hereward Carrington thought the mediumship was gen- uine. Bird, secretary of the com- mittee, had no vote but he later wrote a book, Margery, The Med- ium, which was, for the most part, favorable to the Crandons and Mar- gery’s mediumship. Another committee of eminent investigators spent most of January and February, 1925, sitting with Margery at 10 Lime St. Eric Ding- wall, Research Officer of the So- ciety For Physical Research, Lon- don, made the final report. It stated, “I did not succeed in achiev- ing my primary purpose of coming to a definite conclusion as to the Cha, | “THE WORLD-FAMOUS psy- chic, Margery, has been praised by many and called infamous by a few. These few, many of whom FATE genuineness or otherwise of the phenomena.” Other committees, both in this country and in England, held other test sittings and the conclusions of these official committees were main- ly in favor of fraud, but always there were dissenting voices. Dr. Harry Price, Director of the Uni- versity of London’s National Lab- oratory of Psychical Research, stated, “There is not a shred of evidence that Margery has ever produced a real phenomenon in her life.” But then he had attended only one sitting, and part of his con- clusion must have been based on Dr. Crandon’s refusal to have Mar- gery tested at his laboratory. Dr. W.D. Chesney attended a number of seances with Margery and came away convinced of the genuineness of her phenomena. He related his experiences in an article published in the April, 1960, issue of FATE. And so the controversy has see- sawed through the years.

MY EVIDENCE FOR MARGERY ness of the last years of her life. I wish to put my own experien- ces into the record. I, therefore, would like to call your attention to several paranormal phenomena pro- duced by Margery which my in- dependent group witnessed over a considerable period of time. Some of the seances which J at- tended I would classify as social affairs, attended by friends and in- vited guests, many of them distin- guished foreigners. In addition, I and my group attended a large number when no one else was pres- ent, except: the psychic herself. Some were held at the house at 10 Lime Street and some at other lo- cations. The control in all cases where we were seriously investigat- 17 Margery’s “Walter” ~voice was heard to speak through microphone locked in box. Plasticine taken from locked box shows one of numerous fingerprints thus obtained, ing was by a special method which is far from what is usually meant by the term control. My method consists of isolation: First, by use of controlled ap- paratus at the locus of the phen- omena. Second, by confining the phen- omena to controlled space. In either case the human factor is completely eliminated. The paranormal phenomena which were observed under these conditions and of. which only our final results will be mentioned are: 1. Impressions in plastic mater- ials. ,
Page 78
78 2. The passage of solid through a solid. 3. The so-called or Direct Voice.” My group consisted of a number of individuals and varied from time to time depending upon the type of phenomena being investigated. Among those attending were the late R.G. Adams, Professor of Mechanical Engineering; A.L. Rus- sell, Professor of Electrical Engi- neering; Dr. Walsted, Professor of Metallography; and others, all from M.I.T.; together with Cap- tain Fife, civilian fingerprint ex- pert for the United States Navy, Boston; and Bert Wentworth, in- ternationally-known fingerprint ex- pert. Adams and I worked together most of the time, covering many seances. Let us consider each of the phen- omena separately. 1. For impressions in plastic a strongly constructed box weighing about 40 pounds was used. This box was thoroughly examined in my laboratory at Franklin Tech- nical Institute by Professor Adams and myself; a clean smooth-surfaced piece of plasticine was placed se- curely inside it; the doors were closed and padlocked, and I kept the key. The box then was taken to Lime Street and a seance held there, with only Adams, Fife, Mar- gery and myself present. During this seance Margery’s “Independent FATE control was asked to make an im- pression in the plasticine. After the seance, in the presence of only Adams, Fife, and me (Margery was out of the room), I opened the box with my key. We found an impres- sion had been made in the plasti- cine. On February 23, 1932, again with only Adams, Fife and me pres- ent in the locked seance room, the same box was opened. A clean smooth-surfaced piece of plasticine was placed inside and the box re- padlocked. This time the key was retained by Adams. Margery was brought in and her control was asked to make an impression in the plasticine. After the seance Marg- ery left the room, the door was locked, and the box was then open- — ed by Adams. The three of us ex- amined the plasticine. The impres- sion was not too good but it was there, as you can see on the accom- panying photograph. This particu- lar procedure made use of both methods of isolation, Margery was never in the room at any moment that the box was open. We even obtained an impression of Sir Oliver Lodge’s thumb in plas- ticine, under identical conditions as those described above, while he was at his home in England. ’ I do not intend to discuss finger-. prints in detail at this time but I would like to correct one misstate-’ ment upon which many of Marg-
Page 79
MY EVIDENCE FOR MARGERY ery’s critics seem to base their judg- ment that she was a fraud. This statement is that her dentist’s fin- gerprints are identical with those of the so-called Walter prints. This is absolutely not so. The 10 finger- prints of the dentist did not agree with the 10 fingerprints of Walter. Criticism of this phenomenon, how- ever, relates generally only to the thumbs. This does not mean that the so-called Walter prints are sim- ilar to those of the living Walter Stinson, Margery’s brother who was killed in a railroad accident in 1911, for we never had, nor claimed to have had, any originals of his to go by. They were called Walter prints only because the control called them SO. Now, let’s come back to the den- tist’s fingerprints. This dentist had shown the Crandons how to use the dental wax (Kerr), and in doing so undoubtedly had made impressions of at least some of his fingers, and possibly of his own right thumb. How many of these Margery or anyone else may have made is un- known, and it is of no particular consequence anyway because E. E. Dudley had made similar ones and so had I; in fact, I personally took impressions of all the dentist’s fin- ger tips, and I also took full im- pressions in Kerr of both of his complete hands. But, furthermore, the dentist’s thumbprints also were made by paranormal means, and 79 there is no doubt that some of these waxes, made both normally and paranormally, of the dentist’s thumbs were compared, perhaps un- intentionally, with his thumbprints. Naturally in this case they should agree, and they did. At other times, I also obtained full-size paranormal imprints of the so-called Walter hands in Kerr. Remember, however, that long before Kerr or plasticine was thought of, paraffin hands were made by Margery in a manner similar to that used by Franek Kluski of Warsaw, as described in Clairvoyance and Materialization, by Dr. Gustay Ge- ley, Fisher-Unwin Lt., 1927, In my judgment, by the method described they were using isolation. I made plaster casts from some of these older molds and the thumb- prints in some cases did agree with the so-called Walter prints. Pic- tures of these molds can be seen in the book, Margery, The Medium, by J. Malcolm Bird, Small May- nard Co., 1925, page 340. There are other very important factors in classifying these para- normal prints but a discussion of them would be out of place in a non-technical article. Even if there is similarity of thumbs, the import- ant fact is that prints, to whomever they may have belonged, were made by paranormal process. I have used the terms “impres- sions” and “fingerprints” since they
Page 80
80 are the ones which most often have been used in connection with these normal or paranormal phenomena. Actually, however, the term “rep- licas” would be more nearly correct, for many of the paranormal waxes actually are duplicates of finger tips, some in relief. Whole fists, nearly full-sized and showing skin markings, were produced. These are similar in appearance to the plaster casts made from the wax molds above mentioned, but in the case of these wax (Kerr) “replicas” they were produced without any physical mold. And from the time the wax was placed in hot water (at least 130°F) to the time of its removal from the cold tap water in the form of the “replica” less than 40 seconds elapsed. 2. Let us now consider the sec- ond paranormal phenomenon. There are several ways in which the pass- age of a solid through a solid might be investigated. One of the simpl- est is to take two solid rings of dif- ferent woods and have them linked without in any way physically changing or damaging them. This was done many times in the pres- ence of our group. Wood rings of about six inches in diameter and one inch cross section, and other sizes, each of a different wood, were linked, apparently instantaneously while I myself held the rings close together. This procedure also made use of isolation by using controlled FATE apparatus (wood rings) at the locus of the phenomena. The rings not only were examined macro- and microscopically but photographed and X-rayed both before and after linkage. 3. The final paranormal phen- omenon is the “Independent Voice.” This was established by using a special acoustically constructed voice box (see accompanying photograph). In this box a microphone was placed; the box was closed and locked. From the microphone a shielded cable extended from one of my laboratories, where the voice box and Margery were located, to another laboratory about 75 feet away and across a 15 foot corridor where the storage batteries, ampli- fier and loud speaker were set up. A 1000 watt electric lamp was hung in a housing having a large, dark-red glass window over the psy- chic’s head. This was so that, at all times, one could see the psychic, the apparatus and those other per- sons present. Under these condi- tions regular conversation was car- ried on with the so-called Walter voice on numerous occasions while Margery was in deep trance. These three cases show what can be and was accomplished by the method of isolation, which clearly determines whether phenomena are normal or paranormal. In the case of Margery this isolation method clears her of any suspicion of pos-
Page 81
MY EVIDENCE FOR MARGERY sible fraudulent action during my group’s investigations. This pro- cedure should have been used by other scientific investigators while Margery was alive. Such action never was taken although my group was prepared to cooperate if invited to do so. Author’s note: Some years after Houdini’s death Jim Collins, Hou- dini’s confidential right-hand man, who arranged equipment for Hou- dini at Margery’s was asked about the two-foot rule which was present in the seance cabinet on the night of August 26, 1924, and he replied, “I chucked it in the box myself. The boss told me to do it. ’B wanted to fix her good.” See Gersham’s Houdini, page 254, Henry Holt and Company. SOUTH AFRICA’S MODERN MEDICINE MAN N JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, “muti,” or magic medicine is sold over the coun- ter of a modern store, stocked and operated for that purpose. Owner of the store is Reggie Naidoo, who states he has been in the medicine business for over 20 years. Naidoo’s customers are mostly African natives who cling to their old beliefs. Their steady patronage indicates they have more faith in Naidoo’s mixtures of roots, barks and herbs than they have in modern miracle drugs. The store’s telephone rings all day as native servants in the city and suburbs call to order magic potions for a wide variety of problems, both psy- chic and physical. Naidoo says he usually has something to help settle them. On shelves in the store are rows of jars containing ready-mixed potions in a startling variety of colors. Naidoo, however, does not deal entirely in “muti,” but also in such products as tonics, stimulants, blood purifiers and stomach pills, which he makes from natural herbs and roots. For natives troubled by tok- oloshe, or malicious imp, instead of simple insomnia or stomach ache, Naidoo has a special fat guaranteed to keep the creature at bay. Also in stock are baboon and snake skins, porcupine quills, mamba and hippo fat, lucky beans, vultures’ wings and jars of vulture’s brains. This latter item is most in demand, according to Naidoo. Natives be- lieve a vulture’s brain gives them the power to see the future in dreams. Since they love to gamble, they go to sleep concen- trating on the next day’s races, and if they dream of a number they unhesitatingly bet on it. ——

By Paul M. Vest BS S THE DESTINY of earth di- & rected by an inner government —_—. a spiritually perfected men? Artmoistou the ages men of wisdom F and inspired vision have proclaimed the reality of such a spiritual hier- archy. In recent times Max Heindel, founder of the Rosicrucian Fellow- ship, and Madame H. P. Blavat- sky, co-founder of the modern The- osophical Society, both have told of meeting and receiving personal instruction from one. or more of these mysterious men. Mr. Heindel speaks of them as the “Elder Broth- ers.” Madame Blavatsky refers to them as the “Mahatmas,” or simply “The Masters.” : No modern voice, however, has spoken out more forcefully and au- thoritatively affirming the reality of “The Masters” than that of Alice A. Bailey. She and her hus- band, Foster Bailey, under the su-
Page 85
pervision of The Masters, have founded a large and rapidly growing movement known today as World Goodwill, with international head- quarters in England, headquarters in New York City and in Geneva, Switzerland. : The principal objectives of World Goodwill are to promote goodwill and greater understanding between peoples and nations and to lay the foundations for right human relations and world unity. World Goodwill is not a religious sect as persons from many differ- ent religions are allied with it. The primary endeavor of the movement is to establish and inter-relate here 85 upon the physical plane many of the aspects of the great work of “The New Group of World Servers.” The latter has no organization of any kind in the physical world but is said to be comprised of many spiritually liberated persons in all countries of the world who are capable of functioning in their eth- ric bodies within the invisible planes. The Bailey’s movement owes its beginnings to the remarkable lit- erary career which Mrs. Bailey launched in 1919, the year of her marriage to Foster Bailey, then Na- tional Secretary of the Theoso- _ phical Society. Mrs. Bailey was a_ former national officer of the same group. Her amazing and prolific literary output began quite suddenly and in a most extraordinary manner when she was contacted by Master Djwual Khul, one of The Masters of Wisdom, who preferred to be
Page 86
86 called simply “The Tibetan.” This contact inspired the writing of a series of profoundly esoteric books most of which she said were dic- tated to her by one of The Masters. In order to function more effec- tively Alice and Foster Bailey founded the Lucis Trust in 1922, a non-profit, world service organiza- tion. Through the Trust they estab- lished The Lucis Publishing Com- pany of New York and the Lucis Press Ltd. of. England, both of which publish the books dictated by The Masters to Alice Bailey, in the English language and in translations in many other languages. Also, thousands of pamphlets and tracts are published and distributed yearly throughout the world which explain the work of The New Group of World Servers and the spiritual teachings of the Hierarchy. In 1923 Mrs. Bailey founded “The Arcane School.” This school is conducted all over the world by correspondence only and without charge. It offers sequential courses of study and meditation and a prac- tical training in group work in the more esoteric phases of spiritual un- derstanding and development. More than 35,000 persons have studied with the School. Another activity. of The Lucis Trust was the establishment in 1937 by the Baileys of “Triangles.” Tri- angles work is done by units of three people linking in thought and pur- FATE pose each day and uniting mentally with all other Triangles in the world. A “network” of mental power is created which is used for the com- munication of enlightened goodwill between the peoples of the world. Mrs. Alice A. Bailey who, with the untiring assistance of her hus- band, was primarily responsible for founding all of these humanitarian activities was born June 16, 1880, Alice La Trobe-Bateman, in Man- chester, England. Her father was an engineer and assisted in the con- struction of the Victoria Bridge over the St. Laurence River. Before she was nine, however, both of her parents died of tuberculosis and she was sent to live with her well-to-do grandfather at Moorpark, Surrey, England, which was her home until she was 20. Alice was brought up in the strict orthodoxy of the Church of Eng- land. But as a young woman she found it increasingly difficult to accept what she felt were too nar- row dogmas and doctrines of the church, Nevertheless, she loved to attend holy communion and fre- quently went every day for weeks or months at a time, She felt that all of the other great world religions could not be entirely wrong. In her heart she longed for a religious and spiritual teaching of such magnitude and understand- ing that it might include peoples of all the different world religions.

ALICE BAILEY AND THE MASTER K.H. . 87 It was during this deeply trou- bled, soul-searching period that per- haps the most epochal event of her life took place. Concerning this mo- mentous experience, she writes, “I had been for months in the throes of adolescent miseries. Life was not worth living. There was nothing but sorrow and trouble on every hand. I had not asked to come into this world but here I was. I was just 15. I had been taught the narrowest kind of Christianity; unless people thought as I did, they could not be saved ... And then at the height of my unhappiness and in the very middle of my dilemma and ques- tioning one of the Masters of Wis- dom came to me, This singular meeting took place on Sunday morning in her aunt’s home in Scotland. Alice had not gone to church as was her custom; she was alone in the house except for the servants. Sitting in the drawing room she was endeavoring to be- come interested in a new book when a tall man in excellently tailored European clothes entered the room unannounced. He was of striking appearance and the turban he wore made him appear even more dis- tinguished. Alice was so startled that she was unable to move or utter a word. Her strange visitor anita kindly and with quiet dignity seated him- self beside her and began talking in a friendly, conversational man- ner. Fascinated, she heard him tell her that she must begin to devote assiduous effort to gain control of. her emotions and thoughts in order to prepare herself for a definite work later on in the world. He told her that she would travel exten- sively in many countries while car- rying out helpful work for the Mas- ters. He promised that he would contact her periodically thereafter to encourage her and follow her progress. When the door closed behind him Alice remained sitting in her chair staring at the door still too startled to move. At first she found it dif- ficult to believe the incredible ex- perience really had occurred. She almost doubted her sanity and later did not mention the event to any- one for fear they too might think she was having hallucinations. Within a few days, however, most of these doubts faded as she re- viewed the man’s strange words and promises to her. Shortly, with mounting enthusiasm, she began picturing herself as a kind of mod- ern Joan of Are. Concerning these first colorful self-dramatizations she wrote. “This is a very common mis- take on the part of beginners and I see a lot of it today in connection with various occult groups. People’s sincerity and aspiration do succeed in bringing them some inner, spir- itual contact and they then in- terpret it in terms of personality,
Page 88
88 success, and importance. A reac- tion of over-stimulation.” Alice had no idea-who her mys- terious visitor really was and some- times naively assumed that he might be none other than the Master Je- sus. It was not until she was 39 that she discovered his true identity. At that time she was a member of The Theosophical Society in the United States. One day in the Shrine Room of that organization she no- ticed a picture of the Master K. H. (Koot Hoomi) on the wall and im- mediately recognized him as the stranger who had first visited her when she was 15 and who had con- tinued to visit her at intervals of approximately seven years. The Master K. H. is mentioned frequently in the writings of H. P. Blavatsky and his name is well known to all students of the oc- cult.” He is recognized as “The - Master who is an outstanding ex- ponent of the love-wisdom of which Christ is the full expression.” Each time the Master visited her he gave evidence in some way of (1) His visage as well as his name is remarkably well-known. Madame Blavat- sky was the first to.report a visit from Koot Homi, but he also appeared to her co-founder of Theosophy, Col. H. S, Ol- cott. Theosophists C. W. Leadbeater, A. P. Sinnett, and Annie Besant all claimed direct contact with this Master, as did Nityananda, younger brother of Hindi leader Krishnamurti. The traditions of Theosophy are that Koot Hoomi is one of three Masters who hold the Theoso- phical Society under special protection.

FATE his extra-dimensional nature.@) Occasionally he complimented her upon her progress in gaining con- trol of her emotions and thoughts. As a result of her contacts with the Master K. H. and her continued spiritual development she began ex- periencing extra-dimensional phe- nomena herself. For years the Master K. H. nev- er indicated to Mrs. Bailey what her work in the world was to be. Nev- ertheless, during her years of self- discipline she went ahead on her own with amazing vigor and en- thusiasm endeavoring, as she states, “to save souls.” Mrs. Bailey became active in the Theosophical Society and at one time was an officer for the national organization. Also, she rapidly be- came quite well known as a lecturer and teacher. It was during this period that she met Foster Bailey, in 1919, in Hol- lywood, Calif., where he was serving as National Secretary for the Theo- sophical Society. Within a year they were married. Mr. Bailey is still living and carrying on the work of The Masters in accordance with Mrs. Bailey’s wishes.

ALICE BAILEY AND THE MASTER K.H. age of 39 that Mrs. Bailey em- barked upon her remarkable literary career which soon brought her world renown. Her amazing and prolific literary output began quite sudden- ly when she was contacted by The Master Djwual Khul, “The Tibet- an.” His introduction to her was quite as dramatic as had been that of the Master K. H. One morning while she was tak- ing a few moments away from her household duties, sitting on a grassy hillside near her home, lost in thought, she suddenly was startled to hear a clear note of music which seemed to come from directly above her. As she looked up a man’s voice spoke to her. The voice asked if she would favor the invisible speaker by agreeing to write several books which would contain information that needed to be given to the public. The phenomenon so startled her that her first reaction was doubt and apprehension for she had learned that evil as well as good en- tities function in the extra-dimen- sional worlds. Almost without think- ing she replied that she would pre- fer not to do it. She explained that she was not psychic and did not wish to get involved in anything of a psychic nature. Eventually she consented to write the books, but only after several de- lays and final assurance by her own Master K. H. that he wished her to do the work. While she was review- ing the idea for the third time, with mounting interest, The ‘Tibetan commenced dictation of the first chapters of a profound volume which later was published under the title, Initiation, Human and So- lar. : Mrs. Bailey is quite explicit about the manner in which the books were dictated. She writes, “I would like to make it quite clear that the work I do is in no way re- lated to automatic writing ... I remain in full control of all my senses of perception and there is nothing automatic in what I do. I simply listen and take down the words I hear and register the thoughts which are dropped one by one into my brain . . . I have never changed anything The Tibetan has ever given me. If I once did so he would never dictate to me again. I do not always understand what is given. I do not always agree. But I record it all honestly.” At one period in her life she wanted to give up the work follow- ing some unpleasant newspaper pub- licity when she was lampooned as “The Lady who has her ear glued to the keyhole of Shamballa (the legendary home of the Masters in the Himalayas).” But her Master K.H. persuaded her to continue, explaining that no one ever did any worthwhile work in the world who was not at one time or an- -

go other ridiculed or persecuted. She heeded his advice and continued to produce one book after another. Besides the volume Initiation, Human and Solar, her books in- clude: The Consciousness of the At- om, A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, The Light of the Soul, The Soul and Tts Mechanism, From Intellect to Intuition, A Treatise on White Magic, From Bethlehem to Calvary, Discipleship in the New Age, Be- tween War and Peace, The Prob- lems of Humanity, The Re-A ppear- ance of the Christ, The Destiny of the Nations, Glamour, A World Problem, Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle, A Treatise on the Seven Rays, Letters on Occult Meditation, and finally The Unfinished Auto- biography, which Mrs. Bailey wrote without assistance from any Master and which gives in detail her life and work. When Mrs. Bailey’s books first began to appear and to attract world-wide attention and comment, psychologists, including Dr. Carl Jung, were interested in “The Ti- betan.” It was maintained by a few that the phenomenon could origin- ate entirely in Mrs. Bailey’s sub- conscious mind. Dr. Jung stated there was the possibility that “The Tibetan” was a personification of Mrs. Bailey’s higher self, but he ad- mitted there were many other strange aspects of the case he could not explain. FATE The complicated scientific “ex- planations” of her work only amused Mrs. Bailey for she could show the psychologists who visited her actual gifts which had been mailed to her from India by her Master K. H.@) In 1932 “The Tibetan” dictated a booklet entitled, The New Group of World Servers, which was to prove the most actively influential of any of the works she had re- ceived. Based on information given in this booklet and further personal instructions from “The Tibetan,” she and Foster Bailey were able to found World Goodwill. The great success of the work was highly gratifying to Mrs. Bai- ley, but the tremendous amount of time and energy she was devoting to activities at Headquarters as well as in the field were beginning to have an adverse effect upon her health. At last her physical body could no longer bear up under the tre- mendous physical and mental strain. On September 15, 1949, at the age of 69, Mrs. Bailey passed quietly away—at peace in the comforting knowledge that she had fulfilled the work of The Masters to the very best of her ability.

Brown once re- ceived the gift of_a letter in the hand- writing of Koot Hoomi, as well as a handkerchief embroidered ‘‘K.H.” Ene- mies of the Theosophical Society, how- ever, said the work was done in Ma- game D lavateky: s disguised handwriting. = itor.

- ALICE BAILEY AND THE MASTER K.H. Writing of her final moments, Foster Bailey states that at the last her beloved Master K.H. did not fail her. Resting peacefully in her hospital bed, a beautiful smile of recognition lighted her face and she lifted her hand in greeting as she saw the Master K.H. enter her & Pg gi room to lead her into the greater world of reality within the invisible planes which already had become a shining reality for her. Many years earlier her Master had promised her that he would be with her at the end of her life—a promise he faithfully kept, according to her husband. Y MALAYA’S WEATHER WIZARD N MALAYA are hundreds of Bomohs, or miracle men, many of them devout Moslems, who deal in charms and spells, healing the sick and business predictions. They claim even to be able to provide dry weather in a land where the annual rain- fall averages 100 inches. One of the best known wea- thermakers is Abdullah Bin Omar, 60, a village headman as well as Bomoh. He claims that in 17 years of practice he had only one failure when the wea- ther was drizzly instead of dry. However, heis reported to have furnished dry weather for sev- eral important sports festivals and for government ceremonies, such as a recent cornerstone laying for a new parliament building. Abdullah is said to prepare for a rain control operation two days before the sport or social event occurs. He takes only one bath a day during this period. Wearing a gray songkok—Ma- laya’s national cap, which re- sembles a Turkish fez—in which are sewn verses from the Koran, he slowly circles the area he wishes to keep dry, chanting prayers and “waving the clouds away” with his handkerchief. He considers the prayers impor- tant, since he believes that it is Allah rather than he himself who prevents rain. When Abdullah performed this ritual in Kula Lumpur’s giant Merdeka (Independence) Stadium before a soccer match, the stadium reportedly remain- ed dry although rain fell throughout the rest of Kuala Lumpur. Not only that, but it is asserted that the stadium re- mained dry for the full 11 days of the soccer tournament. And after Abdullah chanted and waved his handkerchief pri- or to an international cricket match, the field reportedly re- mained dry for three days while sheets of rain fell only 500 yards away.

FATHER WOKE ME By Terry J. Lehane N AUGUST 17, 1962, my father, Daniel Desmond Lehane, died of a cardio-vascular accident. Two years before he had had a heart at- tack which, the doctors claimed, was the indirect ‘cause of his death. One week after Father’s death my mother and I moved to Provi- dence, R.I., where ali of our friends and relatives live, in a vague hope of escaping all the things that re- minded us of Father. We found a small apartment on a third floor on the outskirts of Providence «that seemed to suit both of us, and here we settled. However, something peculiar hap- pened. I was having, a nightmare. Most of it escapes me now, but one thing about it I never shall be able to for- get. I saw my father in the midst of blackness. He was beckoning me to follow him, but I could not move. His face was twisted with fright, and this in turn frightened me. Al- though he seemed to be screaming at me, I could barely hear what he said. I did, however, make out this sen- tence, “Get up! The house is in flames!” I awoke with a start. I knew some- thing was wrong, but could not be sure exactly what. I listened in the FATE will pay $5 for each story published in this department.

It was filled with smoke. The stove was ablaze, and part of the floor was on fire. I was frozen with fear, unsure of what to do. I don’t know how long I stood there like that, choking with the smoke; but suddenly, in the midst of the clouds of smoke, hovering over the flames, I again saw my father’s face. He was shouting at me, “Get out of here!” I ran out of the house in my pa- jamas and reached the fire depart- ment on a neighbor’s phone. When TERRY J. LEHANE

WHO WILL GO WITH ME? By Jean Neill Bunde Y COUSIN, Harry Hill, and I were born in Minneapolis, Minn., in. 1911. Since we both weve only children and lived: next door to each other we were like brother and sister. In the summer of 1928, with our families, we were vacationing near International Falls, Minn. One bright, warm August afternoon Har- ry and I wandered away from the family cottage. As it grew dusk we suddenly realized we were lost. Harry was calmer than I and sug- gested that we sit down under a tree and pray. Soon it was dark. Suddenly a beautiful Indian girl appeared. She told us not to be afraid. She led us to a little brook where we drank and she gave us some wild berries to eat. She led us back to the tree and told us stories of “her land.” There everything was lovely; forest animals were tame as pets; rushing brooks and flowering meadows made up the landscape. Harry asked if he might go with her to this land and she answered, “Yes. Before long you will be with me in my land.” I asked if I might go too but she smiled and replied, “Not for a long time. When you come many ethers will come with you.” At dawn the Indian girl left us and before noon we were found by our frantic parents and two game wardens.

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL In 1928, five years later, Harry died of pneumonia. Since then I never have boarded a bus, train, or a plane without wondering: Are these passengers the “many people’ who will accompany me to the land of the Indian maiden? Of course, I also think of a nu- clear attack—Anaheim, Calif. MY MOTHER'S INSTRUCTION By H. L. Stalnaker SCHOOL CHUM and I were on our way home from a movie in Amory, Miss., on the evening of Au- gust 8, 1933. I was only seven years old, yet I remember every detail of that night with amazing clarity. Only two weeks before my moth- er, Willie Lou Stalnaker, had died after an apparently successful ap- pendectomy. She was only 23 years old when she died and no one ex- pected anything but a long life for her. But she died from a blood clot as they placed her in the car which would have brought her home. When my friend and I reached our parting spot that evening I didn’t hurry the other 300 yards to our house as I usually did. I don’t know why, but something caused me to walk slowly. Soon, I reached the bend in the little dirt road leading to the house. Rounding this bend I was in view of home. I wanted to run the rest of the way, but couldn’t. Just as I came abreast of the huge oak tree under which my mother had done her washings, I saw her! I wanted to run to her but found that I was incapable of movement. She stood there in the bright moonlight and looked directly into my eyes. I never heard a sound, yet she spoke to me, “Son, don’t ever forget what I’ve tried to teach you.

I told my grandmother and others what had happened, but I was laughed at for having too vivid an imagination.

THE VEIL LIFTED By Ona Lacy Hunter HIS STRANGE event occurred in the fall of 1933 when, with other members of my sister-in-law Dora Daniels’ family, I was waiting for the time of her passing in Aurora, Mo. She was dying of cancer. Her doctor had told us she would not last the day out. She had seemed to be resting quietly when, suddenly, she lifted her head and her gaze traveled about the room inquiringly. Then she smiled and said, “Vina, please prop me up. I want to see and hear better.” Lavina, her sister, did as she was asked. A light of radiant happiness seemed to illuminate Dora’s face and she exclaimed, “Oh, can’t you all hear that beautiful music?” She lifted a feeble hand to point upward. “See? They are all around me—an- gels singing.” No one spoke. Then she cried out, “There’s George! There’s Bobby, too! They have come for me. Oh, I’m so happy! Now I won’t be go- ing alone.” She glanced from fee grieving sis- ter’s face to the bowed head of her brother. “Dear ones,” she whispered,

MY PROOF OF SURVIVAL “don’t grieve for me. It’s lovely where I am going. Don’t you hear George calling) me to come on? Goodbye.” She sank back against her pillows with a deep sigh, as if greatly re- lieved, and her eyes closed. We knew her spirit had left the body but we were too awed by the sense of an unknown Presence in the room to move or speak for several minutes. George, Dora’s husband, had been dead 10 years. Bobby, their only child, had been killed in an accident when he was five years old. Dora was a very lonely woman after she lost her husband but she had stead- fast faith in a Hereafter, where she would be reunited with her loved ones. We had witnessed the reward of her faith. Dora’s acts and words at the time of her passing were reassurance to me of the immortality of the soul. Nothing through the years since then has changed my belief.— Springfield, Mo.

I took the paper from him and my eyes ran down the list of 20 words. They were quite large ones and seemed difficult for a 12-year-old boy who persisted in spelling “was--saw” and “of- fo.” LIFT THE VEIL LET ASTROLOGY HELP YOU CONSULT BHAGAWAN SOAHAM A WELL KNOWN HINDU ASTROLOGER PALMIST SHADOW-READER HEALER For sound Astrological Advice and Guidance in the solutions of the intricate problems of your life from the analysis of Palm-Lines and the stars at the time of birth.

Finally I cornered the boy about a week later. “Who sits in front of you in spell- ing class?” “Stevie,” he answered. “Is Stevie a good speller?” “Not very. He flunked his test last week.” “Oh,” I said, “was that the test you got 100 on?” “Yep.” “That was a pretty hard test. You didn’t seem to study much for it at home. How come you did so well?” He looked at me wide-eyed. “That was easy, Mom. The teacher would say the word; and then I’d ask Grandpa how to spell it and he would tell me.” My father had passed away the year before, in April, 1959. My son had been extremely fond of him. My mind raced; was he mentally tapping the universal storehouse of knowledge? Was it right or wrong for him to do it? I do it myself, but not on tests—unless it ean be done unknowingly, which of course is possible. “Do you think it was quite fair to the rest of the class for you to let Grandpa spell your words for you?” I asked, realizing I was tread- ing on dangerous ground. He thought for a moment. “No, I suppose not. I guess maybe it was. kind of cheating. I won’t ask Grand- pa to help me with spelling again.” And I guess he hasn’t beeause he never has had a perfect paper since. —San Diego, Calif.

MANY LIVES, MANY LOVES, by Gina Cer- minara. William Sloane Associates, Inc., New York, 1963. $4.95. _ After two decades of study Gina Cerminara evidently has concluded that reincarnation offers more per- suasive reasons for mankind to stay on the straight and narrow path than the Heaven and Hell of Chris- tianity. ‘In the Western World, contempor- ary study of the reality of reincar- nation began with the life-readings of Edgar Cayce, reached its apogee of publicity with the “Bridey Mur- phy” case, and continues under Ian Stevenson, M.D., its lone scientific inquirer. But to Gina Cerminara, profes- sional psychologist, dedicated re- searcher and top-rank writer, has fallen the task of interpreting the proof and presenting it to the pub- lic. That job she began with Many Mansions and continued with The World Within. -No one now could be better quali- fied than Dr. Cerminara to specu- late on the possible function of re- incarnation ‘in’ the evolutionary scheme. If her conclusions are less exciting than her proofs it may be that such is the nature of conclu- 99 sions, whether reached by Christian theologists or by reincarnation re- Searchers. What affronts Dr. Cerminara about orthodox Christian theology is the view that the bill for all of man’s actions is payable at the end of this, his only life on earth. When this life ends, the reward is to be col- lected either in Heaven or Hell, de- pending upon earthly behavior. Reinearnationists operate under the fundamental law of karma, or cause and effect, whereby payment for the deeds, both good and bad, of this life is made during another life on earth. Each soul is thought to live through many lives, striving toe per- fect itself, to learn to love. Of these two views, Dr. Cerminara concludes that the most powerfully persuasive is the reincarnationist doctrine of having to face the music another time. She further concludes that the success of reincarnation proceeds from three research-based propositions: 1. Souls who are closely related in one lifetime tend to meet in other lifetimes. If the relationship was one of love, the love persists; if one of enmity, the enmity must be over- come; if one of obligation, the ob- ligation must be paid.

Evolving souls incarnate some- times in one race and sometimes in another. These propositions amplify the Biblical admonition to “Judge not that ye be not judged.” If reincar- nation is a reality, those who offend or harm an individual, a sex, a group, or a race, are destined to fill the shoes of their victims in a later life. Reincarnation thus induces men to learn the quality of love. But man has not yet evolved to the point where love alone is sufficient to per- fect him. His intellectual capacity also must be developed. Dr. Cermin- ara advocates the application of General Semantics, which is en- dorsed as a scientific technique by which man may learn to think. This new enthusiasm of Dr. Cer- minara has much to commend it, if only on the score that it may teach man to use his mental capacities to greater good. But it may disappoint FATE readers who have been exposed to abundant evidence that the great ideas—such as reincarnation—come to man through the mysterious me- chanism of “insight” or “intuition,” and not by scientific, disciplined techniques.—Paul Foght.

But no “quick results” are promised, for Magic requires “years” of “almost superhuman... endurance... patience . . . will pow- er”, so that, “All depends upon... the individual.” . Moreover, Herr Bardon warns, mistakes can bring paralysis, insan- ity, suicide, or death. But for the successful magician, perserverance rewards him with powers which the uninitiated mistakenly regard as miraculous, and on the “mental plane” he meets his “genius” or “guru” who leads him to his “sacred objective,” which is “union with his God,” the magician then “becoming God himself.” Truly, “to a non-ma- gician, all of this will be rubbish.” Thirty sections detail instruction in “Physical, Mental, and Psychic Training” in this book, the first of three projected volumes. Debatably, the author, who apparently in mid- life “re-entered his spiritual world,” considered physical health ‘a basic condition” for “spiritual progress.” Abstinence from meat, drink and sex need only be “temporary” and for specific purposes. Here and else- where his methods parallel those of Aleister Crowley (to whose Rule he appeals, “Love is the Law, Love un- der Will’), though differing on nar- eotics, which when used to induce clairvoyance, “paralyze the ethical and intellectual faculties,” says Herr Bardon. For those who think that the “real secrets” of Magic are supposed to reside in nonsensical grimoires or in rigmaroles of mumbo-jumbo, this book has a surprise. The author ex- pertly clarifies the rationale of Magic, especially in discussing the magician’s “deliberate creation of beings.” Magic rites, says Herr Bar-

NEW BOOKS don, “never show any success with persons .. . not prepared to work in connexion with the material stuff in a mental and astral way.” To the magician, “a master of imagina- tion,’ who attains “psychic equi- poise” through conquering his own thoughts, it is “of no importance” how others perform particular rites. These are only “a mental support for the mind,” and he learns how to create his own rituals, which then gain potency through the repetition of mental effort given to them. But this book has its share of dubious statements, e.g., that ad- vanced magicians are “no longer subject to the customary Karma,” and can “change the fate of others” by taking upon themselves the oth- ers’ “sins.” Particularly naive is the method recommended for establish- ing communication with “deceased persons”, among whom may be one’s own “Guardian Angel” (if the lat- ter is not “already embodied on this planet”!). We are told “good” and “bad”? are “nothing but human con- ceptions”—“all is pure to them that are pure”’—“there is neither a white nor a black magic,” 7.e., only motive counts, but what about ritual mur- der for tribal prosperity? The read- er is advised to use “a few drops of his own... blood” in magical prep- arations; but if a few drops are ef- ficacious, why not more? These are dangerously seductive doctrines. Finally it is claimed that “the highest thing existent on this earth” is the “Mago-Sexual Operation,” which “produces an . . . enormous effect...” Here the author seems to have gotten his occult physiology inverted, for is it not true that in Man—unlike the beasts of the field —the “highest” Creative Powers are 103 NOTICE IF ILL OR TROUBLED, READ THE _ PRICELESS LITTLE BOOK CALLED: BE NOT DECEIVED.

NEW BOOKS taste today. Thus, while “God’s rev- elation of Himself in Jesus is... complete,” delusion rather than God produced miracles for Jesus: “Na- tural law is never suspended... so that men may walk on water... a man may flounder toward a boat in a way that suggests to excited friends that he is walking on the water ... ” The claims of Virgin Birth, Atonement, and Resurrection may be disallowed, since it was by “His teaching’—‘“the gospel of love . -. let loose in the world”—that “the world was forever changed.” How- ever, “we have no good definition of love,” though “agape is God... God is love.” But what a pity!—Mr. Smith reveals that, “in the immen- sity of space and time, only man has mind and soul; only man is aware of God’s love.’”? This bit of modern dogma pits the author against both angelologist and astro-biologist. Evil: It may be “an illusion, or an unripe good, or a moral neces- sity’—but, whatever, God is in the evil and in the wrong, just as He is in the good and the right, “God is in all.” Here the author forgets his own definitions, for, while up- holding Christianity as the world’s most “sophisticated” and best re- ligion, and one of only three “able to hold consistently to monotheism” as contrasted with religions among which are those whose followers are “theopantheists, or believers that God is all,” Mr. Smith’s “working faith” is uncompromising: “God is all” (p. 23)! This book exemplifies the new gos- pel of “life more abundant here and now,” “progressive religion” that has left its proper sphere, gone into com- petition with political parties and social clubs, and has abandoned 107 i CORRESPONDENCE COURSE i l In Astrology for Beginners I Comprehensive course of 25 lessons sent one at a time at $2 per lesson.

FATE ground to popular psychology and psychiatry (which Mr. Smith finds “4 “individualistic” and therefore “com- 3 plementary” to his collectivist ‘‘so- cial” faith). Nothing is said about Heaven—“pie-in-the-sky”—in stead We are promised “ultimate victory in life... .” This makes little sense, for in the grave we all face only ultimate defeat in this life. If churchmen had put into the study of “death” the effort they have wasted on “social action,’ they might not now have to look to Freud for “com- plementary” answers. But “Man Know Thyself” has become in Mr. Smith’s book, “Self is the enemy of health.” Despite his confession that Chris- tianity’s notable “tendency toward authoritarianism and intolerance . . . has produced frightful blood- letting,” the author defends foreign missions. The heathen, so bereft of his gods, prompts the remark, “ “They have taken away my Lord!’ is the saddest cry ever to pass human lips” (p. 188). While Mr. Smith has not taken away the Christian’s Lord and God, what has he left Him?

MESSAGES VIA “MYSTIC EYE” Ihave a “Mystic Eye” which I use nearly every day to communicate with loved ones in the Spirit World. It is a wonderful thing and [I have obtained some wonderful messages through it. : I improved my “Mystic Hye” by making a circle about half way out from the eye and then pasting in- side the circle in capital letters, all the letters of the alphabet. Now if a spirit has a message for me, I just ask him to spell it out. I have ob- tained several messages this way. I received one message from my mother who has been in the Spirit World for a number of years. My wife and I are retired on pension and we had been going to a nearby supermarket to cash our checks until we had quite a sum of money saved up. One day as I was using the “Mystic Hye” my mother came on and I talked to her for a while. Then I asked if she had any special mes- sage for me. She said she had, and here, word for word, is the message she spelled out for me: Russ, be careful because a gunman is after you. Do not go out again after dark. You know him. He wants your money. She gave me his name, but I will not reveal it here. This message came just before we received our next month’s checks.

L. Conner, Delaware, O. VOICE FROM THE BOX I read with utmost interest, the story Scientists Research Machine To Contact The Dead. I was very well acquainted with the late Mr. Harry Gardner and I know how he yearned to see his dream perfected. Mr. Gardner conducted many other tests besides the one with Miss Mar- garet Lewis. That is the reason for this letter. I first met Harry and his wife, Mona, in October, 1955. A group of us were invited to attend a seance to further test the voice box. The late Rev. Ruth Carson was the medi- um and at that time she was not a developed physical instrument. Aft- er singing one hymn a voice came through and said it would voice through the box and talk with us. It did just that, then other voices came through also but they were not as clear as the first. In contrast to Rev. Carson, Miss Lewis has been for many years a direct voice me- dium. Therefore, I believe the test witnessed was more profound and closer to the goal Gardner wished to achieve. Gardner and Wright wanted their invention to work like a radio; you

I believe she could possibly be an “authority” on averages, but not on children. If her attitude re- flects that of the dentist she works for, I would run fast the other way. I feel sure that Miss Smith could not be married and have children of her own or she could not possibly take the position she does. To quote her, “Children do not lose their baby teeth until age six, at the earliest. The average for shedding baby teeth is from seven to 11 and a half. Miss Smith surely must know averages are only the figures in between the extremes, and that qualified pro- fessional people the world over fully recognize that not every person is average. It is indeed a pity that Miss Smith’s 11 years of experience have not permitted her to know a child that does not fall into the category of “average”. In using her reasoning, I could say that my daughter at the age of five could not possibly have had baby teeth come out—but they did! Her little playmate lost his first baby tooth when he was four. His

REPORT FROM THE READERS father thought he had wiggled it to make it loose and tried to bribe him so he would leave it alone. I was present and heard what he said to the boy. A few days later this tooth fell out and within a short time his new permanent tooth came in. Miss Smith may disbelieve, if she pleases, that Mrs. Darden’s daugh- ter did not catch an angel’s wing, but not on the grounds that she could not have lost some baby teeth at three, because it is not an aver- age situation. Her logic is like a sieve—it does not hold water.— Ellen Pearson, Hugene, Ore. AUTHOR’S CORRECTIONS Regarding my article in the March, 1968, issue, you are to be con- gratulated most highly for an excel- lent job of cutting, as well as for the necessarily required editing and your selection of the title, Miracle “Gate” to Bahai. As so often happens when an ar- ticle is cut, there is a most unfor- -tunate error on page 175, the last paragraph of the second column, Abdul Baha was not “the eyewit- ness” to the Bab’s execution in Per- sia in September, 1853. Abdul Baha did relate the story of the episode to me personally, and at that time— the autumn of 1901—there were present two Persian believers in their 90’s who actually had been witnesses to the execution of the Bab. One of these eminent Persian religious scholars was a noted ar- tist, and I have framed in my li- brary at home one of his masterful renditions of a Prayer to God, in rich colors and gold, given to me at the time. Of course, Abdul Baha, along with his father, Baha ’Ullah, whom the YOUR ANCESTORS CALL TO YOU!

TOWARD “UNIVERSAL MIND?” In Arthur Ford’s What Makes a Medium, in the April issue, Mrs. Penny Nichols, in answer to Mr. Ford’s question, “How did you first become aware of your psychie pow- ers?” said, “‘ . .. when I diseovered thoughts and ideas flowing through my mind... and from outside of myself; I didn’t think these were something I was personally think- AN Gye ee ‘ Now that is an everyday pro- cess with all of us ordinary people, proving we have the same potential that is somehow released more as- tonishingly in gifted mediums. All you need to do to test that claim is to practice introspection during the drowsy period before sleep. Cultivate the habit of responding to any dis-« turbing sound or slight discomfort as a signal to quickly examine whatever had occupied your atten- tion at the time. Such introspection will reveal strange perceptions so foreign in na- ture to your thought that they can- not have come from your personal experience. As your attention falls and rises between the superficial surface and the mysterious depths of life, two different levels of im- agination show up in sharp centrast. One reacts to immediate or recent environment; the other seems to scan perceptions from beyond your per- sonal experience. A slight disturbance may wake you to some startling awareness. © Perhaps you will find that you have just been snapped back from some

JAPAN’S “GRAVE OF JESUS” On the northernmost part of Hon- shue Island, in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, about one hour’s drive from Misawa, are two graves highly ven- erated by the Japanese farmers of the small community. One grave, they maintain, is that of Jesus. They assert that Hachinohe Taro Ten- gue (the tall man from the moun- tains), their name for Jesus, came to Japan from his birthplace, Pales- tine, when he was 21, to become a student of the Shinto religion under the tutelage of the emperor’s son. When he was 31, they further state, he returned to his own country at the emperor’s direction that he evan- gelize the Jews. During His bitter experience at Gethsemane Jesus’ remark, “I go to my father,” is interpreted to have indicated his return to Japan. Here, it is said, he settled under another name, married and fathered three daughters. His age at transition is given as 118.

LIFE-STUDY FELLOWSHIP Box F-1716, Noroton, Conn. GOLDEN CROSS FATE from beginning to end, for as far back as 10 years. I had the most recent one in Sep- tember, 1962. It seemed my 18-year- old son and his friends were sitting in his car out in the driveway. One of the boys in the back seat had a shotgun. They were just talking and seemed to be enjoying them- selves when the boy in the back seat accidently hit the trigger of the gun. The blast ripped the heel off my son Clyde’s foot. Blood seemed to be everywhere. I awoke, fright- ened. When Clyde went out with the same friends the following night, I warned him to be careful. He just laughed at me and my “dreams.” During the evening the car in which they were riding was involved in an accident. It rolled over twice and was completely demolished. Clyde and his friends were thrown out as it rolled. He hit the gear shift knob and suffered a stomach punc- ture which took a month to heal. His friends were scratched and bruised. Clyde told me he never would laugh at my nightmares again. I wish to obtain information about such psychic nightmares and would greatly appreciate hearing from readers who have similar experi- ences.—Fern Maki, Mohawk, Mich.

The era of Spiritualism was well-

REPORT FROM THE READERS established there when I was a child, apparently because of the rappings of the Fox sisters who lived in Rochester. I recall my mother taking me to a Spiritualist church when I was very young. She was a Catholic, but being of Irish descent, she thrived on the messages given her by the Spiritualist ministers. The seances were not held in some dark room, but in beautiful church- es, with prayers and songs followed by a sermon. A box on the pulpit contained envelopes with questions turned in by the congregation in the hope of obtaining an answer. One question Mother asked was, “How will my girls turn out in life?” (There were six of us.) The minister answered, “one child will be confined to a large building all her life.” My mother worried about this, but it turned out that my older sister, after being jilted by her boy friend found solace in a convent. At another service Mother asked the same question. This time a dif- ferent minister answered, “You don’t have to ask me that question— don’t you have a child who was born Ke Your Destined Happenings she Analyzed by a Scientific Astrologer Based on personal Birth Horoscope, indi= vidually declined, detailed, typewritten.

FATE with a veil, and isn’t she sitting next to you? Isn’t she the seventh child of a seventh child?” Mother replied that was true. After Mother passed away in 1914, I lived in Buffalo with an old- er sister. While working at the Statler Hotel I met a girl who went regularly to Lily Dale, the Spiritu- alist camping ground. She and I at- tended a meeting there in a big pavilion. The speaker, a famous Spiritualist, walked down to me from the platform and told the audience he saw an aura around me so bright that he was forced to ask me to come to the platform. I was fright- ened and when he realized this, he advised me to study and develop my gift. I studied Christian Science, New Thought, Unity and later I discov- ered Theosophy. Since then I have had no fear of my gift which today is referred to as ESP. This gift comes to me just as I am about to fall asleep. I usually know the head- lines in the morning paper. I often see books of great literature open before me. Sometimes I jot down what I have read in them.—Mar- garet A. Mead, Covina, Calif. PRAYERS OF SILENT UNITY Thank you for the nice article in FATE concerning Unity School of Christianity. We have had Silent Unity, their prayer group, pray for us at differ- ent times over the years.

But although the fire caused $10,000 damage, none of the older people or young children were injured, to my knowledge. I can’t help but feel that if Silent Unity had not been praying for us the situation might not have turned out this well.—Betty Denny, Au- burn, N. Y. NO MAGIC FOR FENCES In my letter in the February is- sue I offered to give free occult advice and help to those living in Southern California. In conformity with your policy, you did not pub- lish my address—merely ‘“Holly- wood, Calif.” The result was that besides the letters sent to me in your care, 21 others were sent to me, direct at the incomplete Hollywood address. These letters reached me only because an old-timer at the post office remembered me. Perhaps your policy is not always good. However, the main burden of this letter concerns the quaintness of about half of the requests I received out of a total of 42. These quaint requests ignored one of nature’s most fundamental laws—to wit, physical problems or projects should be resolved or worked out by physical means. If one wishes to have a fence re- paired, one does not ask a magician to do it by some magical means. If one wants an apple from a tree, one does not ask an “occultist” to make the apple fly into his hand.

WAYS WITH WARTS In the February, 1963, issue of Fate is a letter headed “Warts and Dandelions.” I read this item and as my teen-age daughter and I each had a large wart, we tried the method described. Like the writer of the letter, we also had difficulty in finding dandelions at first. My daughter persisted in using the dandelions until she had lost her wart. Mine seemed just to grow ' larger, which she said was either because I did not believe, or because I did not try hard enough, or both. As a child in England, I’d had a wart cured by a local “witch,” but I did not know of one where I live at present. Finally, after using dan- delions off and on for some time, I “sold” my wart for one cent to a woman who claimed she could cure them by “buying” them. Thereafter, whenever I saw her, she asked, “And how is my wart?” Finally I had to admit it was gone! The wart did not disappear sud- denly, without a trace, as did the first one. It seemed gradually to wither away, and for some time after it was gone I had a large, pink-brown scar, which now has completely disappeared—Kathleen Casler, Smithers, B.C., Can. —— Oe
