This was a Fate-magazine imitator, with articles on 'Ancient Crystalline Records," UFOs and contactees, subliminal explorations, overarching government conspiracies to conceal the truth of UFOs and other subjects, hollow earth ideas, vanished civilizations like Lemuria and Atlantis, Mothman, prophecies, The Ashtar Command of White Light Stabilizers of the White Brotherhood, crystals and how to use them, fringe science, coming global catastrophes, channeled information on Atlantis, "Hopi Philosophy," Pyramid Power, the Crystal Skulls, the secret passage of the Ark of the Covenant, "Are You a Space Child," etc. The journal felt itself riding on the crest of the millennial apocalypse that would lead mankind into the new era: "The point has now been reached beyond which there is NO return. Our own 'spaceship' Earth has now been propelled into the line-wave density that will take it -- and us -- into a new level of frequency, the 4th Density. . . ." Brinsley Le Poer Trench and Brad Steiger were on the board of consultants of the journal. The journal carried small advertisements for the likes of an "Astral Projection Course" for $5.00 a month for six months, "Crystal Magic" ($35.00), "Anti-Gravity Electronic Levitation" ($20.00, Visa and Mastercard accepted), "Free College Money" ($59.00), and what was called a "flea market" of spiritualist readers, pendulums, metaphysicians, Druid Rune Stones, etc. The journal's Consumers International Club was yet another of the recurrent attempts to organize an economy based on barter or trade with a colony at Brooksville, Florida, described as a "New Atlantean City." The journal also promoted its own New Age Guide to Advertising and Promotion (Includes an Up-To-Date Directory of New Age Businesses, Publications and Groups, that is reminiscent of Sydney Flower's efforts 80 years earlier.

"You say: Advertise?' 'I just paid the rent, the utilities, the printing bills. I had to pay that speaker from out of town that was supposed to bring in 150 people (at $10.00 a head) and .23 housewives showed up dragging 6 bored husbands. I have 6 dozen books on hand (How to Eat Crispy-Crunchies/Critters and LIKE it!) that I can't give away and I don't know where my next customer is coming from and you say ADVERTISE?' 'YES! Do you REALLY think that people are going to hear about your store, or church or product by "picking" it up telepathically? Or --- they suddenly dream about coming to your lectures?'" University of California, Santa Barbara.
