#1. Terror In Lonely Places - Desert Mysteries (By Scott Corrales)

The desert is a place of great beauty, but also of danger. It is the place where animals and insects inimical to human life dwell and also the place seekers go to find hidden wisdom and revelations. Traditionally the "deserted places" were shunned by the ancients, who believed that the gods of the ruined cities in the desert reverted into angry demons, having no one to worship them. Tanith Lee, one of Great Britain finest authors of sword and sorcery, writes a compelling account of a band of desert travelers who entertain a stranger by their campfire-who should it turn out to be but the demon king, come to the surface to listen to the chorused voices of his "children", the desert predators. H.P. Lovecraft, whose visions disturb our sleep to this very day, had the "Mad Arab" Abd Alhazred title the fearsome Necronomicon "Al Azif" - supposedly the sound made by nocturnal desert insects who are in fact, evil spirits.

But so much for the worlds created by our gifted fantasists. what wonders-and horrors-do the world's deserts hold for us?

#2. Extra Terrestrials and Human Psychics (by: Torbj�rn Sassersson)

Many Out-of-body travellers and Remote Viewers report encounters with presumed Extra Terrestrials. If we humans can travel Out-of-Body and view remotely other intelligent species could probably do the same and do it better. Therefore occasionally we could meet by accident or on purpose by either part. This is an interview with a veteran Remote Viewer, Lyn Buchanan on this subject. Prepare for some extreme answers.

#3. The Search For Livable Worlds

Scientists eager to find life on other worlds - or at least ones that might support Life as We Know It - felt a shiver of excitement last week. Three teams of astronomers reported finding the smallest distant planets yet detected, suggesting that Earth-size planets with benign climates might be just around the corner. But there was a bit of discouraging news as well. A new calculation suggests that scientists may be looking in the wrong places for messages sent by any distant intelligent beings.

#7. Ringing Rocks of Pennsylvania

In Upper Black Eddy, Pennsylvania lies a field of boulders that just won't keep quiet. Known as Ringing Rocks Park, this jumble of enigmatic stones has perplexed researches for decades because of the melodious tones the rocks produce when struck with a hammer or any solid instrument.

Rocks that ring while fun and intriguing are not by themselves that anomalous. The musical qualities of certain types of stone have been recognized for thousands of years. For instance, the Egyptians used large slabs of basalt to produce a sort of giant xylophone.1 However, this particular field exhibits a number of unusual qualities that when taken together add up to a first class mystery.

#8. Walking in the NOW (by: Peter Farley)

"You can't put new wine in old bottles."

When one actually STOPS and thinks about it -there is only the NOW. We can wonder about the future and have regrets about the past, but the moment in which we are living is then wasted. The moment in which we exist could be used to create a better future for ourselves and the planet, or in correcting the errors of the past so they won't happen again. The lesson of history must be learned in the NOW to stop making the same mistakes over and over again, and to stop continually reinventing the very same wheel.

#9. Edgar Cayce - Great Pyramid and Sphinx Reading from 1932

READING 5748-6
This Reading given by Edgar Cayce July 1st 1932.

1. EC: Much has been written respecting that represented in the Great Pyramid, and the record that may be read by those who would seek to know more concerning the relationships that have existed, that may exist, that do exist, between those of the Creative Forces that are manifest in the material world. As indicated, there were periods when a much closer relationship existed, or rather should it be said, there was a much better understanding OF the relationship that EXISTS between the creature and the Creator.

#10. Tracking Down the 'jungle yeti' (By David Green)

Two amateur explorers hope to prove the existence of the mythical "jungle yeti" by capturing the creature on film.

Adam Davies, of Bramhall, Greater Manchester, and Andrew Sanderson, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, are travelling to Sumatra in Indonesia to hunt it down.

Three years ago, the pair found a footprint and hairs which, when analysed by scientists, did not match any known species.

Roscoe Hillenkoetter
