One of the most romantic legends in the world is that of the quest for eternal youth. In fact, the
lure of eternal youth is so compelling that it informs our conception of the afterlife and motivates
modern-day scientific inquiry and drug research. But how did the legend actually begin and,
more importantly, how has it developed from a mythological ideal into a pragmatic goal?

Most world religions accept that upon death, this subtle and enduring aspect of the self leaves the
body. However, there are equally ancient traditions that assert that during sleep, the soul can
detach from the body to interact with the realm of spirits, often returning with messages pertinent to the sleeper, a technique that we in the West now call astral projection.

An Iroquois Correction
Dear Kim,
purchased a copy of issue #14
today, and was reading the article,
Is Bigfoot Descended from Homo
Erectus, by Lisa A. Shiel. The article
was interesting, but then I stumbled
upon this on page 47: North America
also has its share of giant hairy hominid
legends. In the cascade Mountains of
the Pacific Northwest, for example, Iroquois legends tell of creatures known as
the Stonish Giants
The Iroquois are a northeastern tribe
who, to my knowledge, never settled anywhere near the Cascade Mountains. I
lived in the Pacific Northwest for a while
and I also studied anthropology in college and nowhere was I told, nor have I
read, that the Iroquois had anything to
do with the Pacific Northwest region.

wiss researchers have discovered the 100,000-yearold remains of a previously unknown giant 12-foot-tall
camel species in central Syria. This is a revolution in
science, said Jean-Marie Le Tensorer, a prehistory professor
at the University of Basel, for it was not known that the
dromedary was present in the Middle East more than 10,000
years ago.
Tensorer, who has been excavating at the desert site in Kowm since
1999, said that the first large bones
were found some years ago but were
only confirmed as belonging to a
camel after more bones were recently discovered. Humans apparently
killed the camel while it was drinking
from a spring.

The astronomers say that the outbursts occur when material falls toward
the black hole. While most of the matter
is swallowed, some of it is violently ejected in jets. These jets are launched from
regions close to the black hole and push
into the clusters gas, generating cavities
and sound that then propagate outwards.
The new observations also give the
strongest evidence to date of a shock
wave produced by the black hole, a clear
sign of a powerful explosion. This shock
wave appears as a nearly circular ring of
high-energy X-rays that is 85,000 lightyears in diameter and centered on the
black hole. Other remarkable features
include narrow filaments of X-ray emissionsome over 100,000 light years
longthat may be due to hot gas
trapped by magnetic fields.
Musically, the sound appears to be discordant and complex. A series of unevenly spaced loops in the hot gas suggest
small outbursts from the black hole
about every six million years.

investigation of the

from the fossil record at the K-T boundary prompted scientists to theorize that
the two might have been caused by a single, cataclysmic meteor strike. The
smoking gun for the theory was the
discovery in 1990 of a 110-mile-wide
impact crater in the Gulf of Mexico, just
off the Yucatn Peninsula, near the Mexican town of Chicxulub (pronounced
CHEEK-shoo-loob).
However, a new study by Markus
Harting of the University of Utrecht in

meteor impact
is unrelated to
either the iridium layer or the

meteor blasted into the earth. He then
used electron microscopy to identify an
original layer of spherules, which
marked the first fall of the ejecta from
the sky immediately after the impact.
He believes that the layers of worn
and weathered spherules resulted from
parts of the original layer being moved

after only three years in operation, Mystery Park, located in the Bernese Oberland resort of Interlaken, Switzerland,

bad financial decisions, the static nature

Mystery Park featured seven pavilions

the great Pyramid in Egypt, the secret of
the Nazca lines, and efforts at finding
out more about the Mayan calendar.
It all began in 1997, with ambitious

financial problems surfaced immediately,
as the banks declined to provide money.
Instead, funding was found through a

rimitive man believed that blood
was sacred, the source of life in all
creatures. So it made sense that
the life force must be contained in blood.
Because of these early beliefs, man has
always had a superstitious horror when
dealing with unusual attacks that involve
the loss of blood. And throughout history, there have been numerous reports of
strange attacks and mutilations that seem
to go beyond normal animal predators.
One such incident occurred in 1874
near Cavan, Ireland. For several months,
something killed as many as 30 sheep a
night, biting their throats and draining
their blood. In 1905, at Great Badminton, Avon, sheep were again the target of attacks. A police sergeant in
Gloucestershire was quoted as saying in
the London Daily Mail,
I have seen two of the carcasses myself
and can say definitely that it is impossible for it to be the work of a dog.
Dogs are not vampires, and do not
suck the blood of a sheep, and leave the
flesh almost untouched.

Owner of Snapple?
ince its inception in 1972, the popular drink manufacturer Snapple
has been plagued by rumors that it
was owned by one evil entity or another,
including the Ku Klux Klan. The rumor
that bin Laden owned Snapple began
shortly after 9/11, with calls over the
internet for a grassroots boycott of all
Snapple products.
Although at one time,
Snapples products were

CEO
Michael

that Snapple has

Hiding in Utah?
t was bound to happen that sightings

leader living in the Salt Lake City area circulated just a month after 9/11.
There were, in fact, dozens of reports
that bin Laden had been spotted on the
freeway, in the mall, and enjoying a Big
Mac and fries at McDonalds, around
the Salt Lake City area. Law enforcement authorities were so overwhelmed
with calls from alarmed citizens that
after awhile, they just had to ignore
them.
Those looking for a plausible explanation for bin Laden living in the city
pointed to the areas desert-like conditions and the residents tolerance of plural marriages, though why bin Laden
would worry about his lifestyle being
accepted by the local community is
unclear. No doubt, concerns about the
2002 winter Olympics in Salt Lake City
also fed the rumors, with sinister hints
that he was masterminding another
calamity that would make the terrorist
killings at the 1972 Munich Olympics
pale in comparison.
As the most potent global symbol of
Islamist resistance to the West, Osama
bin Laden naturally provokes both fear in
his enemies and the admiration of his followers. So it comes as no surprise that he
generates every kind of rumor, gossip,

tobacco, for example, to order a murder). And within the group, members
specialized in different roles. Sothaees
lured travelers; lughaees dug the graves in
advance of a kill; and the bhuttotes were
responsible for the actual murder.
Sacrifices were chosen randomly from
among wanderers and travelers. One or
more Thugs would befriend the victim,
then suggest that it would be safest for
them to travel together. Since there were
many robbers on the roads, this offer was
usually accepted gratefully. The group
would then travel together, sometimes
for months, as the Thugs waited for an
omen. Finally, when the time was right
and an opportunity presented itself, the
ruhmal was used. Should the victim
resist, other Thugs waiting nearby would
swoop in and finish the job. Only a few
people escaped death once they had been
marked for sacrifice.
Before each sacrifice, an axe was
anointed with sugar, water, milk, and
dried cow dung, then marked with seven
red dots and passed through a fire seven
times. After the murder, a sacrifice of
sugar was made to Kali, a grave dug with
the axe, and the body interred. Then the
victims valuables were divided among
the Thugs, with a portion set aside for
Kalis temple and another set aside for
bribes and other cult expenses.
The Thugs saw these murders as a religious sacrifice and thought that both they
and their victims would benefit in their
next life. But there were specific rules
about who could be killed. The Thugs
did not kill women because they were
seen as incarnations of Kali. They did not
kill high-caste Indians (because of their
purity) or Indians belonging to the lowest castes (because it was believed that
offering them would be an insult to Kali).

As described by Steve Burnip, a lecturer in journalism at Huddersfield University, he and his wife were strolling near

when they saw this thing in the water.
Burnip explained, I could see a lump

quite extraordinary.
Cryptozoologists were equally startled
on hearing Burnips report, since Lake
Windermere has no recorded history of
cryptid sightings. Common explanations
offered by debunkers commonly include
wind, waves, and boat wakes, but Burnip
remained steadfast in defense of his

SEEING DOUBLE
The Strange World

as a spiritual or psychic presence.

The physical manifestation of ones
co-walker was also considered to be a
harbinger of approaching death. A person confronted with the appearance of
his or her double was instructed to speak
harshly to it, in hopes of shaming it into
fleeing. However, physical violence
toward ones double was discouraged,
for it was believed that it might retaliate
and strike its human counterpart blind.
The Art of Bilocation
ontrolling the comings and
goings of ones double was
believed to be a learned ability,
which could be mastered with practice
and discipline. The practice of
calling up ones double later
became associated with
the practice of sorcery
and black magic, and
was condemned by
the Church. In
fact, many unfortunate women
were tortured or
burned as witches
for the crime of
being seen in two
places at one time.
By the 17th centur y, doppelganger
theor y took a new
twist with the notion of
bilocation, the physical
manifestation of a person in
two places at the same time. Swedish
mystic and philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg (inset) was reported to have
been capable of bilocation. Additionally,
many saints have been attributed with
this ability, including Ambrose of Milan
(c. 340-397 AD), Severus of Revenna
(?-690 AD), Anthony of Padua (11951231), Alphonsus Maria de Ligouri
(1696-1787), and in more recent times,
by Italian priest Padre Pio (1887-1968).
Traditional religious teachings suggest
that an individual who is able to manifest
his physical double possesses a heightened sensitivity to the suffering of others. It is also believed that he has been
divinely granted the gift of bilocation so

The Materializations
OF PADRE PIO
n 1917, Padre Pio (1887-1968) materialized in the locked hotel room of a World War I
Italian general named Cardona, who was contemplating suicide after his armys defeat
at Caporetto. As the officer prepared to shoot himself, Pio appeared before him and
pleaded with him to reconsider. The general was convinced he had experienced a miraculous vision and experienced a spiritual awakening. Years later, upon meeting Padre Pio,
Cardona was stunned by the priests greeting: It was a close call that night, eh?
Other accounts tell of Pios appearance to soldiers on battlefields, warning them of
approaching attacks and bombings. These and numerous other astonishing incidents of
bilocation led to Padre Pios canonization as a saint in 2002.

To perform the third rite, kneel on the floor with your body upright and place your hands
against your thighs. Then bring your chin to your chest and arch your spine while moving
your head backward as far as it will go. The fourth rite is performed sitting on the floor
with your legs outstretched, feet apart, and hands on the floor, fingertips pointed ahead
of you. Bring your head to your chest and let your head sink back as far as it will go.
Then, keeping arms straight and hands and feet in place, bend your knees and raise your
body to a horizontal position, so you form a table. Tense your muscles and then relax.
To do the fifth rite, lie flat on your stomach on the floor, then support your body in a
sagging position with your arms straight and your hands planted on the floor. Move your
head back as far as it will go. Then, with your hands and feet in place, bend at the hips
and bring your body into an inverted V position. Bring your chin forward to your chest.
Beginners should practice the five rites three times a day to maintin optimal health.
Gradually, the frequency should be increased until each rite is practiced 21 times a day.

beyond. Typically known as astral projection, the ability to project some nonphysical aspect of the self has been
taught by a variety of western magickal
traditions for over 200 years.
Tripping the Astral Fantastic
ver the years, a wide variety of
people and organizations have
written instructional material
on the technique of astral projection.
For instance, Victorian Englands Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn taught
a secret method of astral projection
called the Body of Light technique,
which taught students how to construct,
through repeated visualizations, a second self. Once the student could create

is really going on. For not only do different people have distinctly different experiences, but others seem intent on using
different terms in order to describe identical experiences.
For instance, some writers use the
terms astral projection and OBE
interchangeably. Despite the overlap in
usage, typical OBEs are spontaneous
and uncontrolled and are associated
with extreme trauma, such as a brush
with death.
And unlike astral projection, OBEs are
often unintentional. Those who experience them often have no prior training
in the occult and they rarely retain the
ability to consciously project after their
initial experience. Because of this, volition seems to be one of the main distinguishing factors between astral projection and an OBE.
The presence of a second body is
remarked upon only in some cases of
OBE while most descriptions of astral
projection make this second body sound
essential to the technique. Thus, OBEs
seem to be a spontaneous precursor to
astral projection, an early and instinctual
expression of the same basic experience
that can later be harnessed consciously.
And yet many reports of OBE involve
a disembodied sense of consciousness
and perception. For example, Monroe
and Muldoon report the experience of
detaching a second, ethereal body that
was inside of the physical body, just waiting for detachment.
Some metaphysical writers, such as
Barbara Ann Brennan, suggest that we
have several such bodies within our
physical selves, layered like nesting dolls.
Each can detach and interact with another level of reality, according to their particular energetic vibration. And yet some
practitioners say that they must literally
construct this body. So if this second
body is already there, why is there a need
to construct another vessel to engage in
the act of projection?
Perhaps the real importance of this
second body is a psychological one. We
are accustomed to having a physical vessel to house our consciousness and point
of perception, so we naturally construct
MY S T E R I E S M AG A Z I N E ,

being taught!
If we want to say that the second body
is nothing more than a psychological
habit retained by the projectors mind,
then how do we explain the perception
of others? Emilies students did not have
some built-in expectation for their teachers second self to have a body. And yet
does this mean that a second body is
always perceptible to outside observers?
At least one technique related to projection seems to rely on the fact that second
bodies can be done away with entirely, so
the only thing being projected is a point
of conscious perception.
Spirits and Kittens
ll of these techniques seem, at
least on the surface, to be different from one another. And yet
each technique seeks the projection of
some non-physical aspect of self which
may or may not be housed in some secondary body.
These techniques also share common
goals. Although the main goal may at
first seem to be communication, in many
cases, people who project in this nonphysical state find that they can see
friends and family who remain in the
physical world but they cannot successfully communicate with them. For
instance, Robert Monroe attempted to
visit friends and communicate a message
that could later be verified. But early on,
Monroe realized that in the projected
state, he interacted with the physical
world much like a ghost who was insensible to his presence.
Animals, however, may have a leg up
on humans. In an experiment run in the
1970s by Dr. Robert Morris, an experienced astral traveler Keith Harary was
asked to project into a target room that
was filled with all manner of apparatus
that could record energetic fluctuations
that might accompany his projection.
One piece of sensory equipment was a
kitten named Spirit.
Lonely little Spirit meowed from his
cold metal cage in the apparatus room
and the only times that the kitten quieted down was when Harary supposedly
projected into the room.

lorebegan to emerge.
Essential to his cosmology is
a theor y he calls subquantum
kinetics, which explains how
galactic core explosions are not
evidence of black holes, as
some Big Bang theorists
assume, but of the continuous
creation of matter and energy.
To understand where LaViolette is going with this book, it
helps to read his earlier work,
Beyond the Big Bang: Ancient
Myth and the Science of Continuous Creation (1995). A concept explained in that book
etheronsfur nishes
the
underpinning for the constant
creation of energy and matter
in the center of each galaxy.
LaViolette describes etherons
as extremely small subatomic
par ticles that constitute the
transmuting ether that permeates the universe. These
etherons, which have neither
mass nor charge, can change
from one state to another and
also create matter
and energy.
LaViolette says
that
because
etherons have no
mass or charge,
they cannot be
measured
or
even detected,
and thus we
cannot know for
sure the tr ue
nature
of
etherons. If
that is so, then we
have to take the very existence
of etheronsand the entire theory of subquantum kineticson
faith. Does this mean we should
pitch this book? Not by a long
shot. Whether or not you agree
with LaViolettes theories, you
cannot help but enjoy basking

In the Theater
characters might have evoked a
sense of continuity or perhaps
of reincarnation in keeping with
the films theme. Instead, their
relationship is repetitive and
tiresome, and the dear th of
character development leaves
us at a loss as to what they saw
in each other in the first place.
Knowing nothing about the characters, we feel nothing for their
plight, and their goals and
dreams have no significance.
Trapped by the stilted script,
the excellent cast, featuring
Hugh Jackman and Rachel
Weisz, flails aimlessly in a sea
of anachronisms and inconsistencies. The renaissancethemed sequences are particularly troublesome; the ones set
in Spain are a poorly drawn parody of historical events while
the ones set in the jungles of
Central America are pure fallacy.
The interpretation of Mayan
beliefs, something of an
anachronism in themselves
since the Maya city-states had
largely disappeared by the time
the conquistadors had arrived,
is a crude shadow of the intricacies of the Popol Vuh,
the Maya creation
myth. Its admittedly
stunning visuals, from
thousands of suspended candles in a
medieval court, a faint
echo of the endless
vistas of golden stars
that open the film, to a
spherical, bubble-like
spacecraft and the
self-sustaining environment within are sadly
wasted by The Fountains lack of characterization and focus.
The film has several
elements that could
have brought it together to create a stunning
visual and emotional
tour de force, such as
its cast, its underlying
