AMERICA'S ANCIENT WRITERS
by Donald Cyr

Explorers, traders, even settlers, left their words inscribed on canyon walls, on artifacts, and on trade goods found in the Americas many centuries before Columbus sailed the ocean blue. For many strange reasons, the very idea of alphabets carved on such objects and in America is generally considered to be without scientific value. Most examples are considered to be forgeries or fakes and are conveniently discounted by those who guide our thinking.

BACK TO BIMINI
by William Donato

An ambitious new research project, a multi-pronged investigation into the many archeological mysteries of Bimini, is currently in the planning stages. Funded by Law of One Research Corporation, a Massachusetts-based foundation dedicated to following up on the work of Edgar Cayce, the project is a continuation of Project: Alta, begun in 1993 by The Atlantis Organization. The new investigations will focus on high-priority sites as well as seeking out new ones. The emphasis in 1993 was to seek out new sites by means of aerial reconnaissance and side-scan sonar, as well as to investigate the zoomorphic (animal-shaped) effigy mound designated as the Cobra Mound, which was discovered on an earlier trip.

BLUEPRINT FROM ATLANTIS
by Rand Flem-Ath

In November of 1993 I received a fax from John Anthony West that started me on a four-year quest. The article that slipped through the fax machine that day had been written by an Egyptian-born construction engineer by the name of Robert Bauval. Little did I suspect that Bauval would soon become known for his revolutionary theory that the pyramids of Egypt were a mirror image of the constellation of Orion (see The Orion Mystery). However, in the article I read that day Robert had taken his idea even further. He revealed that not only the pyramids but also that most famous of all sculptures, the Sphinx, was oriented to the constellation of Orion as it appeared in 10,500 B.C. (see The Message of the Sphinx).

MUSIC IN THE FIELDS
by Freddy Silva

For over twenty years the normally quaint and quiet English countryside has slowly been overrun by a phenomenon more akin to It Came From Outer Space than to cream tea. Fields long accustomed to entertaining wheat, barley, or canola are, with increasing frequency, playing host to magnificent pictograms in the form of crop circles: areas of flattened crop as large as 100,000 square feet where plants are bent an inch above soil level and gently laid down in geometrically-precise pictograms, with no visible signs of damage or human entry.

PSYCHIC DISCOVERIES SINCE THE COLD WAR
by Len Kasten

In June of 1968 Sheila Ostrander, a Canadian, and Lynn Schroeder, an American, were invited to attend an international conference on ESP in Moscow. The invitation was from one of the most fervent missionaries of Soviet psi research, Edward Naumov, then 36. A few years earlier, when overt interest in such subjects could easily result in a long holiday in Siberia, such a conference would have been impossible. Then suddenly, in the mid-sixties, the doors of prohibition in Russia, under the Troika rulership, clanged open. Ostrander and Schroeder, encouraged but still doubting the turn of events, started writing to Soviet scientists and researchers. For three years, the letters and packages describing Soviet psi research poured in, culminating in Naumov's invitation to come and see for yourself.

RICHARD NOONE
by J. Douglas Kenyon

When in 1982 Astraea, a small and struggling Atlanta publishing house, introduced a gigantic, profusely illustrated hardback by previously unknown author Richard W. Noone, not too many noticed. At that time the threat posed by enormous polar ice buildups coupled with factors such as global warming and unfortunate astronomical alignments had been considered only by a very few. Fewer still took seriously the work of unsung scientists such as Charles Hapgood, Augustus LePlongeon, Immanuel Vilikovsky, and many others cited. Nevertheless the new volume slowly began to generate respectable sales and in 1986 Crown Publishing of New York took notice and added 5/5/2000 Ice: The Ultimate Disaster, to its list. In the intervening years the book has never once been out of print, with total sales running into six figures. And, in fact, as its following has steadily grown, it has become something of an underground classic.

TAKING FEELINGS TO THE MOLECULAR LEVEL
by Cynthia Gage

Science, asserts Dr. Candace B. Pert, is feminine. It's a conclusion she has reached after spending 25 years of rigorous, exacting research at the lab bench, forging her way to the top of a profession long dominated by men and the male perspective. Now, as Research Professor in the Department of Biophysics and Physiology at Georgetown University School of Medicine, she is considered one of the most pre-eminent neuroscientists in the world.

THE SEARCH FOR KINNAMAN'S ENTRANCE CONTINUES...
by Stephen Mehler

(In issue #10, Stephen Mehler reported on the search for a secret entrance to the Great Pyramid. The late Dr. R.O. Kinnaman claimed that, in the company of Sir William Flinders Petrie, he found just such an entrance. In an attempt to authenticate the claim Mehler went to Egypt in September and filed this report.

  • Astrology By Kathie Garcia: GALACTIC ASTROLOGY
    Like two lovers who had been uncomfortably matched, endlessly engaging in argument and power plays, Science and Spirit finally became separated. The Industrial Revolution sealed the deal, and for a time it looked like this divorce was final. But their tryst has begun anew, for they are, in essence, inseparable partners. Science explains in facts and findings, in reason and objective thought what Spirit stirs through faith and intuition, through inner gnosis and through divine revelation. Spirit gives esoteric meaning to the discoveries of Science. Together they describe our relationsip to the Deity and to Cosmos and to one another, and give our existence meaning. Science, however, is still quick to mock as fanciful the musings of Spirit, while Spirit is reluctant to reunite with a lover who seems cold, self-absorbed, and decidedly unromantic! Nevertheless, the time has come for Science and Spirit to be reconciled. The wedding takes place when Neptune and Uranus join forces in Aquarius, on January 30. Their union will cause a social revolution in what is prophesied to be an age of enlightenment and unprecedented scientific discovery.

  • Book Review By William P. Eigles: ANCIENT WISDOM MAKES IT TO CD-ROM
    The exploration of the sites and locales of ancient civilizations is an adventure that tantalizes many an individual fascinated by the writings of such modern researchers as Zecharia Sitchin, Graham Hancock, John Anthony West, and David Hatcher Childress, among others. Alas, the time and expense involved in mounting an expedition of one's own, or even participating in one conducted by a university, archaeological research institute, or nonprofit foundation, can be daunting. The surviving remnants of humankind's earliest settlements, markers, and technological achievements are widely scattered around the globe, and access can be arduous. And, although specialized travel companies have arisen to respond to the growing New Age niche market of seekers eager to glimpse and touch historic and prehistoric artifacts, the obstacles remain.

  • Early Rays: News Bulletins

  • Recording Reviews By Robert Resetar:  SWING & SHUI
    The ancient Chinese art of feng shui (pronounced fung shway) has become quite popular these days. Feng shui is based on the principles of balance in one's living environment for the purpose of bringing about health, happiness, success, and well-being. Sounds like hocus-pocus? Try it. You may be surprised. On the surface you might conclude that much of its effectiveness is caused simply by knowing your goals and focusing your attention upon them. But it goes much deeper than that. The ancients taught that the principles of yin and yang and the five elements influence the very qi (chi) or life essence in all living things. At its most basic level, this is a commonsense approach to health and wholeness.
