VOL. II DECEMBER,
1957 NO. 12
This issue marks the end of the second year of the
publication of Understanding. Its life has not been an easy one. Its growth has
been slowed by the chronic financial malnutrition which afflicts so many of
those publications whose efforts are devoted to service rather than gain. It
has met and overcome most of the critical hazards which cause the early demise
of so many small publications. The financial problem is not a critical one. The
deficit which has always existed between the income from subscriptions and the
cost of publication has been, and will continue to be met from the proceeds of
other activities of the Understanding Groups, or, failing that, from the
pockets of the editor and those of his friends and co-workers who share in his
vision of the unlimited possibilities of Understanding.
Only one major problem remains to be solved. That problem
is based on the lethargy of the average reader and the apparent indifference of
a large portion of the readers to the basic purpose of Understanding. Stated in
a few words: the primary function of the magazine is to make available to the
people of all other countries and races the opinions of the common people of
all other countries and races concerning the many great questions and
controversies which threaten the peace of the world and the very existence of
its civilization. It is our firm belief that a sufficient degree of simple and
complete understanding between the common people, the rank and file of the
nations, will prevent the outbreak of war no matter how much lust for power may
develop within the minds of a few tyrants who may happen to be in positions of
power at the moment. The tyrant always depends, to a large extent, upon lies
and misleading propaganda to inflame the minds of his people to the point of
war. If a state of complete under-standing could be achieved between the common
people of all nations, those People would cease to be impressed or swayed by
the inflammatory propaganda, the war fever would not develop, and the power
crazed tyrants would suddenly find themselves alone and helpless, biting their
nails and gnashing their teeth in the frustration of their own futility.
While the bringing of simple understanding to all the
peoples of the world is a job of such magnitude as to be beyond the bounds of
possibility of any individual or single group, nevertheless, it is a goal for
which we must strive. It is the target at which we must aim. How closely we
approach that goal will be determined by you, the reader. We are sending out an
urgent appeal for letters of opinion from all countries of the earth. We have
direct correspondence with some 38 countries at present. We ask that in these
letters you give us your opinion concerning one or more of the political or
economic questions which are perplexing and endangering the world today. What
do you think about nuclear weapons and their potentialities? What do you think
should be done about disarmament! How do you think top level conferences
between heads of states should be conducted" etc., etc. We will print just
as many of these letters as we can and will summarize the findings of the rest.
In order to have more space for these opinions we are
enlarging the publication. Even though the present income from subscriptions
does not cover the cost of publication, we are going to add four pages to accommodate
the letters of opinion which we feel sure will come in answer to this urgent
appeal. The magazine will then, at last, be truly beginning to perform the
service for which it was conceived and born.

When are we going to take those Wise Men from the East
seriously?
They caught a vision in the heavens and they believed and
followed. Each Christmas season we supposedly catch a vision but we do not
actually believe or sacrificially follow.
Times have changed since that trio made their way across
the desert. The journey- which took them twelve days is now accomplished in a
matter-of minutes. If we ever doubted that we live in one world, science is
making it perfectly clear.
The brotherhood of man for which Christmas stands is not a
nice, vague, distant ideal but it is a fact, an absolutely necessary fact, in
the world of our day. Men were created with a common spiritual heritage and
bond which makes them fundamentally brothers.
The trouble is we live on the surface where jealousies,
rivalries, and competition, where superficial tastes and desires seem to
divide. That is why there is so much antagonism in the world, eventually
leading to war.
The Wise Men read the heavens aright. They knew that the
God of the infant Jesus was the Lord of the whole earth, and they acted on that
faith. They came to the Manger not in the spirit of pride and position and
power but humbly and unselfishly, kneeling to lay their gifts at the feet of
the Christ Child. That is why we call them the Wise Men.
Are we also wise-or otherwise? Are we creating suspicion
and ill-will, spreading the fires of racial and national hate? Or are we
promoting understanding and good will, breaking down the barriers which
separate man from man and nation from nation?
For centuries the Wise Men have been trying to help us
build a world of understanding and brotherhood. Their message is very urgent
just now as they warn us "It is later than you think."
But the star is still shining and the Lord of all life is
still waiting for men to kneel as brothers before Him.

As you will recall from the last issue, we had arrived at
the Canadian Border on Tuesday, November 12th. The Customs demanded fifteen
dollars duty to allow the projector and screen to be brought into Canada. So we
left. them there to be picked up upon our return. I might mention that it
rained all day. Due to the delay with the Customs we were nearly late for our
appointment.
While Dan gave a short talk to a group in Vancouver, I
visited a cousin of mine. The lecture that evening was held at the Peter Pan
Hall and we had a good crowd and also a great deal of interest in the books and
magazines.
We then visited at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Willis and
arrived at our hotel at about 2 A.M. After a short rest we left Vancouver at
about 7:30 A.M., stopped at the border for the projector and screen and then
headed south for Redwood City, California, stopping for a few minutes at the Dawsons
in Seattle.
We then drove straight through to Redwood City,
accompanied by rain until after entering California. There we rested at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Cheney, after which Dan spoke to a good crowd at the Methodist
Church. Again I was kept busy at the book table. Dan stayed with the Cheneys
that night, while I went on to San Mateo with friends.
We arrived in San Francisco shortly after noon of Friday the 15th, stopped at the Metaphysical Town Hall Library on Powell St. and
then took in the sights of the city, including Chinatown, until evening. The
lecture at Town Hall was presented to a small but interested group.
The next morning we left San Francisco for Oakland and
arrived at Della Larson's about noon. Again we enjoyed a nice rest and then Dan
lectured that evening in Berkeley to a fine crowd. This lecture was sponsored
by Mrs. Larson and the Oakland Unit of Understanding. We were entertained
overnight at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Larson in Oakland. Sunday, November 17th,
the lecture was held in the YWCA hall in San Jose at 2 P.M. A nice group were in attendance and we sold out on books there. We were then taken to the home
of Ethel Palm and served a luncheon after the lecture.
After lunch, we drove on to Santa Cruz for another lecture
at 7:30 P.M. The hall was filled with an appreciative crowd and afterwards we
enjoyed the hospitality of the B. F. McGuires of Felton. We left for home at
about S A.M. the next morning.
It proved to be a very successful trip in all ways.
Everyone enjoyed the pictures of the White Sands Proving Ground, showing the
results of the Atom blast. We received a warm reception everywhere we stopped
and much interest in Spacecraft and Understanding was shown by all of the
groups.

There is a better thing than the observance of Christmas
Day, and that is, keeping Christmas. Are you willing to forget what you have
done for other people, and to remember what other people have done for you : to
ignore what the world owes you, and to think what you owe the world; to put
your rights in the background and your duties in the middle distance, and your
chances to do a little more than your duty in the fore-ground; to see that your
fellow men are just as real as you are, and try to look behind their faces to
their hearts, hungry for joy; to own that probably the only good reason for
your existence is not what you are going to get out of life, but what you are
going to give to life: to close your book of complaints against the management
of the universe, and lock round for a place where you can sow a few seeds of
happiness-are you willing to do these things even for a day'
Then you can keep Christmas.

THE MESSAGE, CONTINUED
"This is U-K-2-7 calling. (This was repeated several
times). "Flight 15 Interplanetary Patrol Regulators. Planet 99. Your
request as spoken of earlier has come to our attention. and as we had been
tuning in your planet we decided to attempt contact with you. May we first
state that you and your friends have been under observation for some time by
reason of your varied interests and studies, and also because we are ever
desirous of making individual and collective contacts with persons of the earth
plane, who have shown that they are desirous of progressive understanding-,
relative to other spheres or worlds.
As there appear to be no others in your immediate vicinity
who qualify for inter-terrestrial relationship, it is suggested that you might
be eligible for regular contact, and if so interested, so indicate a willingness-s
to cooperate with us relative to future planning."
"We feel that it would be important to you should you
be placed in a position wherein you could receive communications from such a source
as you have implied, and to compile such information regarding our activities,
mode of life, plane of existence, as we may be privileged to accord you."
"We are not able, at this time, to relay specific
data regarding the technical details of our craft. This can be given at a later
date when your sincerity has been firmly established. But sufficient for the
period if it be that we can receive confirmation as to your interest and
intention to continue, that confidence be established between us. We are attempting
an interplanetary project which has been prepared for some time, and it is our
intention to contact certain individuals that this may be accomplished."
"This project may have to be instigated in the very
near future, so preparedness is the order of the day. Much depends upon tire
actions of those in high places and the events that follow their commands.
However, for your immediate information allow us to mention that the means of
communication now being used can be termed an `Electronic Thought Transmitter.'
This is a mechanical device into which one speaks, the impulses are transmitted
to your immediate vicinity, the wave length adjusted to the particular auric
field of the individual receiving. But more of this later."
"As members of the INTERPLANETARY COMMITTEE of the
COUNCIL OF ORBITS we are most naturally- concerned with any activities that may
take place-whether it be on your planet, SARAS. or any other within our
jurisdiction. Our greatest concern during the past few years has been, and is,
the misuse of cosmic forces-which your scientists have experimented with in the
form of explosive weapons. As the law of the cosmos is such that we cannot
interfere, unless it becomes evident that serious repercussions may occur in
other planes of the same sphere, we have not as yet attempted to prevent the
use of such mechanisms-for we realize that eventually said scientists will
discover the benefits of their proper use. However we desire to warn you, that
if it were not that we have been able to offset most of the radionic
interpenetrations affecting the cuter layers of your ionosphere, the results
may have proved disastrous, even at this time.
"We are therefore attempting to organize contact
groups, which will be made up of sincere persons who, aligning themselves with
those seeking a more harmonious establishment of international relationship,
will endeavor to co-ordinate their activities and studies towards a fuller
under-standing of your world's present situation.
"A NEW AGE confronts your peoples. This is not new
for there is ever a changing of the geographical and social structures of any civilization,
the law of the cosmos being progressive. You are therefore coming to the END OF
AN AGE, and preparedness is the order of your day. In that book which you refer
to as your Bible, many references are made to the `Times' you now experience,
and those written words are much older than you realize. Howbeit, we are not
come to extol the virtues of the Cosmic Record, but to alert you to the
seriousness of your present. world situation.
We needs must appeal to the intelligence of individuals
who are seeking understanding and enlightenment as to future possibilities, for
we cannot approach the masses of your world's populace, as the majority are not
yet ready for such experiences, and to do so would cause panic. Therefore, our
studies and investigations of your planet, particularly over the past few years
have been mainly for the purpose of searching out those individuals, who over a
period of time have given of themselves in study of matters spiritual and meta-physical,
for it is only they who can accept and appreciate the higher values of esoteric
release. As of this moment there are many such individuals and groups, and it
is our desire to align both into one amalgamation, so that eventual
establishment can be affected in a place designated when the time is ready for
such formation.
The main consideration for the immediate present is the
sincerity of all those comprising the various contact groups, including those
individuals who will be attracted to them as time reveals the importance of
such affiliation. This is necessary because of the immensity of the project
under consideration and in the value of the informative material released as a
New Age Philosophy for study- by those selected.
Your Bible has a reference to this in the stanza recorded,
wherein it is written, `MANY SHALL BE CALLED, BUT FEW SHALL BE CHOSEN.' This is
an occult truism, and one that must be fully realized by those seeking
admittance into the higher realms of spiritual expression. in ages past we too
had to choose as to whether we should proceed with the masses, who preferred
the delights of materialistic accumulations, or accept the directions of our Exemplars.
Fortunate are we who developed sufficient wisdom to make a right choice.
Now a similar opportunity is being proffered those who,
discerning the portents clouding the horizon of established procedures, do seek
a way of life enabling them to enjoy the full values of creative consciousness,
within the scope of their own understandings. It is assumed that all present
desire to be included, and wish to take part in the establishment of the New
Age previously mentioned. Therefore we do appeal to the logic and reasoning of
all concerned. for sincerity or purpose is the fore-most test that shall be
presented. the 'TIMES' demanding loyalty and co-operative effort.
But neither are we here to expound philosophy, but to
convey to you some information relative to our particular operations in the
higher realms of activity. It is most natural that many questions should arise
ill your minds, and that your curiosity seek satisfaction as to our experiences
and functions. Therefore, in order to make these contact sessions interesting
and enjoyable it is permissible that we enlighten you as to various activities
and other related information.
"Perhaps you may be interested to learn of our
particular responsibility relative to our sphere of action. We are what might
be referred to as `INTERPLANETARY PATROL REGULATORS.' It is our duty to observe
the vibrational impulses emitted by each planet in our system, for these vary
in accordance with cataclysmic and subterranean disturbances. Acting upon the
authority of higher intelligences, it becomes our responsibility to assure that
the orbital motion of any sphere maintains its regularity within the
electro-magnetic field of its operation."

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
DANIEL W. FRY
11. If an individual or group decides to undertake, the
investigation of UFO reports, within what limits should the investigation be
confined Should the approach be strictly objective or is there any value in
entertaining what is usually referred to as subjective evidence?
Ans. This is a question which is creating a great deal of
controversy between and within investigating groups today. When a person states
that only objective evidence should be considered, he actually is saying that
the research should be conducted entirely within the limits of our present
knowledge and concepts. Unfortunately, no true research can be conducted
satisfactorily in this manner. If we restrict ourselves to our present
knowledge and concepts, how can we learn? If we confine our-selves within the
tight sphere of our present understanding, in which direction shall we
progress? Any person who attempts to understand and explain the phenomena of
the UFO in strictly earthly terms is foredoomed to frustration, disappointment
and ultimate despair. We simply do not yet possess all of the terms and
concepts necessary for a complete explanation, and so we must continue to seep:.
A paradoxical aspect of this situation exists in the fact that those who are
the most energetic in this search, are frequently denounced as fools and
crackpots by those whose purely materialistic approach has completely barred
them from all hope of success, and who yet consider and declare themselves to
be `investigators' and `researchers.' How can a person consider himself to be a
researcher when he begins by discarding the most fundamental tool of research,
which. is the formulation of concepts capable of explaining observed data?
12. How, close to a UFO can an observer approach and
still be considered a sane honest and truthful person?
Ans. This question ties in with the previous one and has
been worded in this particular way in order to bring out the peculiar fact that
the reputation for honesty and sanity of a UFO observer appears to vary exactly
in inverse proportion to the distance from which his observation was made. This
is particularly true among the `objective' and `materialistic' investigators
discussed in the previous answer. To this group, if a man reports the
observation of a UFO at a distance of several miles or more, his reputation
remains almost entirely untarnished. He is considered to be an honest and
reliable observer. If he reports the observation of a UFO at a distance of a
few hundred feet in the air, he meets with a certain amount of reserve and
suspicion, but if he reports the observation of a UFO upon the ground and at
close range, and especially if he reports any form of contact with the
operators, no matter what his previous history and reputation may have been, he
immediately becomes a lunatic or a charlatan, or both, and his report is
discarded as being unworthy of even a routine consideration. The futility of
this type of investigation should be apparent to even the most limited
intellect. So long as the `investigator' limits himself to observations made at
a great distance, it is obvious that he is not going to learn any more than he
already knows, and so long as he continues to reject, automatically any data
taken at close range, he is dooming himself to a perpetual state of frustration
and futility. His attitude and situation would be somewhat humorous if they
were not also more than a little tragic.

TEEN-AGER UNDERSTANDING
The first pleasant news out of Little Rock in a long time
is the story of a joint discussion between white and Negro students at Central
High. It is pleasant because the discussion led to a new point of view by two
of the more flamboyant objectors to integration. These two, attractive young
women, had been among the ringleaders of those attempting to stage a protest
walkout. They joined in discussion with two white young men who spoke for
integration, and then with three Negroes who spoke of their right to attend
school near their homes.
Those who at first spoke for segregation were unable to
back their objections with factual material or logic, and had to concede that
this was the first time they had considered or tried to understand the problem
of the Negros.
The Negro is now following the same pattern that was
suffered by the Jew in the Ghetto, the Irish in the ditch with pick and shovel,
the Pole in the coal mine-and all the other minority groups who at one time or
another were discriminated against because they possessed attitudes and habits
that were the product of an environment that was thrust upon ahem. That is the
same bitter irony of the Negro's lot, that he is segregated, deprived of a
decent place to live, to get an education, and then he is looked down on
because he lives in squalor and is ignorant.
Somewhere, if we are to survive as a nation, this bitter
circle must be broken with the Negro as it has with other minority groups. And
it will be broken, despite the Faubusian delays that are sad because they are
needless, and merely prolong the advent of a better day. Let us hope the
understanding talks between the children of Little Rock will be a lesson to
their elders.

Dear Mr. Fry
I have just received the fine November copy of
Understanding, and read it at once. In it I find the article on Buck Nelson's
book. Could you please, tell me how 1 can obtain a copy? Over a month ago I
sent Buck Nelson one dollar, also 15 cents in stamps for the book, but only
silence has resulted, and I am not surprised, rather expected it.
How long are Earth's people going to submit to this
control over our lives? The Space people can not interfere, according to Cosmic
law. It is up to us to awaken out of our complacency. We have been inoculated,
mentally and physically, for centuries by the "children (and henchmen) of
the Devil." Poor Buck Nelson; I would send him a dollar now and then when
I can, if I knew it would reach him.
Sincerely,
M.F.C.
Ed Note: Understanding has ordered copies of Buck's
book which will soon be available to our readers. Price $1.00.

Dear Mr. Fry,
The great gift of understanding brought about by the use
of Parables as a method of interpretation from within man, cannot be over
emphasized in our difficulties of the world today.
An image created in the mind of man by a parable can be
true or false, according to the desire of the individual.
The false image is created by using one's self as the
center of the creative imagination.
The true image is created by meditating on the universal
(love of God) as center.
Sincerely yours,
I.R.

ETRUSCAN TONGUE REPORTED
SOLVED
By Reuters
ROME
An Italian professor claims that he has deciphered the
2,700-year-old language of the Etruscans, an ancient people conquered by the
Romans. Prof. Licinio Glori said he has succeeded in reading Etruscan
inscriptions on the so-called "Column of Perugia," in central Italy.
This was declared indecipherable only a fey months ago at a congress of Etruscologists.
Etruscan civilization in central Italy flourished between
the seventh and third centuries B.C.
Only a handful of Etruscan words have been known to
historians, who have long tried to break the secret of the language. These
words came form a small number of bilingual inscriptions where the Etruscain
was accompanied by Greek or Latin inscriptions.
Professor Glori said that as a result of intensive
research during the past year and a half he now is able to read Etruscan
inscriptions.
