The Editorial Platform of TH E OCCU LT D IG EST

1. The Occult Digest is opposed to any legislative activity having a tendency to hamper the free advance of scientific achievement, and pledges itself to fight such pernicious legislation as is exemplified in the so-called anti-evolution bills before the various legislatures now or in the future. 2. Capital punishment must be abolished. It is ineffective as a deterrent of crjme; it is itself a crime, if not by statute, certainly by humanitarian ethics; its occult significance renders the practice unfavorable to mass progress. 3. The practice of vivisection must be brought from the silence of the laboratory into the light of day. Every such ex­ periment should be placarded in some manner in advance, the method made public, and the nature of the subject made public, together with the reasons for the experiment, and a statement of its expected results. In this way science will remain free, and the rights of every individual protected from the horrible abuses which prevail. 4. In the interests of American anthropology, archaeology and occultism, vast fields of which remain in the custody of the American Indian, and which may be opened for research only by the protection and preservation of the Amer­ ican Indian, this magazine holds that the American Indian is entitled to every cultural right under the law that is enjoyed by any other citizen in the United States. It, therefore, opposes injustice to the American Indian purely in the interest of science and occultism. 5. The religionizing of Psychic Phenomena must be stopped. It shrouds in mystery what should be clear; it removes a purely scientific matter from the hands of scientists, and puts its control in the hands of those who pervert simple truths for private gain.

I N the popular books of today, dealing with the origin of religions, we find it stated that they originated In The Pronaos from fear.

A seemingly endless succession of days of diminishing strength yielded to nights of restlessness and pain, when sleep came only in fragments. One of these nights I shall al­ ways remember—a memory of a Christmas time in tering, I was all but done. My eyes would stay closed; which I could take no part.

Having succeeded, his interest palls. The brunette Aryan exercises more of what appears to be a negative acquiescence, intriguing the interest and drawing the individual of the opposite sex toward him. The law of dissonance has much to do with this as does the mother-father imago of psychoanalysis.
