Contents Issue 18 BREAKING THROUGH TO THE FUTURE Veteran Remote Viewer Joe McMoneagle Turns His Gaze on the Future by William P. Eigles As the third Millennium of the Common Era fast approaches, the urge to know what the future holds for our world, and know it accurately, seems to be noticeably quickening. From the works of such celebrated prophets of yesteryear as Nostradamus, Mother Shipton, and St. Malachy to the publications of modern-day seers such as Edgar Cayce and Gordon Michael Scallion and astrologers Noel Tyl and Edwin Meece, popular interest in esoteric prophecy is burgeoning as an uncertain and increasingly jittery public faces the looming Great Turning Point. CHARIOTS OF THE NEW MILLENIUM Are the Dreams of Nicola Tesla and His Followers Approaching Reality by Bruce R. Meland With an oil glut worldwide, and resulting low gas prices here in the US, major oil companies are merging and laying off thousands of employees to remain financially healthy (in other words, to maintain high executive salaries and stock options). As a result, it is very difficult to get the American public interested in alternate fuel automobiles, specifically, cleaner, quieter and more energy efficient electric, hybrid electric, or fuel cell vehicles. BERMUDA TRIANGLE STARGATE? Do Newly Mapped Magnetic Anomalies Point to the Stars by Dr. Michael Preisinger A German historian/scuba diver has recorded the exact location and value of deviations in magnetic fields off the Bahamas coast. Scientists to whom he has shown the figures do not dismiss the possibility that they are caused by micro-wormholes. His researches have also led him to wonder whether the American AUTEC naval base on Andros Island is not-perhaps on account of these same wormholes-an "Underwater Area 51 of the Caribbean." And he has reached some new conclusions concerning Atlantis and the Bahamas. HAPGOOD REVISITED New Research Vindicates the Work of Charles Hapgood by James Bowles The scholarly study of geology, as opposed to mystical speculation, dates from the 18th century. Early geologists looked at the evidence before them that included highly folded and faulted rock layers, igneous flows, intrusions, and the remains of species that no longer walked the earth. They concluded that the earth's history had been marked by a continuing series of catastrophic events. This view came to be referred to as Catastrophism. MYSTERIES OF THE POLYNESIANS Does Evidence Point to a Lost Pacific Civilization? by David Hatcher Childress The settlement of the Pacific remains a mystery to this day. The vastness of the Pacific as well as the lack of concern by historians has made tracing the origin of the Polynesians, at best, difficult. While anthropologists agree that there are at least three races in the Pacific region, they have not agreed on where they came from or when the Pacific was settled. IN PURSUIT OF THE TRULY STRANGE A Conversation with Linda Moulton Howe by Len Kasten Colonel Corso said to me, 'Linda, how did you get all of that classified material in your book? How did you do it? At least I had a gun.'" This remark by Linda Moulton Howe was made at the conclusion of a extraordinary three-hour telephone interview with Philip J. Corso and William J. Birnes on July 7, 1997, with Howe coordinating the four-way conversation and Art Bell asking the questions. Howe acts as the science reporter for the program. The interview covered many of the startling revelations made by Corso and Birnes in their ground-breaking book, The Day After Roswell (Pocket Books 1997), but it was one thing to read it and quite another to hear about these events from the mouth of the only living person to have personal knowledge about them. THE TRUTH ABOUT UFOs A Breakthrough CDRom Pulls the Astonishing Facts Together by Rod Baker The prospect of extraterrestrial life has fascinated earthlings for centuries but the search for proof of its existence has recently become more serious. Since the Hubble Telescope's deep-space photos revealed millions of galaxies which we never imagined existed, scientists have begun to concede intelligent life outside our solar system may be not only possible but, in fact, highly probable. PREMONITIONS OF DISASTER Do Tagic Events Cast Shadows Before Them by Preston E Dennett Accidents and disasters are an unfortunate fact of life. Because disasters affect so many people, they have been intensely studied. However, every time a disaster occurs, the same questions are raised. How could this have happened? Could it have been prevented? Why do some people survive and others do not? Is there really such a thing as a random accident, or is there a hidden meaning to each disaster? CASTING OUT EVIL SPIRITS A Pioneering Psychotherapist Points Her Profession Back to Its Roots by Cynthia Gage Remember The Exorcist? Those chilling scenes caused various reactions among audiences: While some enjoyed the intense effects and dismissed it as entertainment, many experienced an uncomfortable encounter with energies we would like to relegate to Hollywood's active imagination, but can't. Indeed, there is ample evidence that evil manifests on earth, acting through humans, animals and nature itself. From swine trapped in the body of a demented man (cast out by Jesus) to heartless, senseless murder and twisted tortures all over the globe, Satan shows his face. And it's not just the gross deviations that constitute evil. THUNDERBOLTS OF THE GODS The Case for an Electric Universe by Amy and Nel Acheson Who would have guessed that the myths of ancient cultures could throw new light on the mysterious surface features of planets and moons? Or give new meaning to current work in artificial-lightning laboratories? If mythologist David Talbott of Portland, Oregon, and physicist Wallace Thornhill of Canberra, Australia, are correct, then ancient myths and symbols are a key to an expanded and holistic understanding of both history and the physical universe.
