In the mid-1940's a welder by the name of Richard Shaver
mailed a manuscript titled "A WARNING TO FUTURE MAN" to
Ray Palmer, editor of AMAZING STORIES sci-fi/sci-fact magazine.
Palmer re-wrote the ms. and added much of his own metaphysical
and occultic ideas to the plot, re-naming it "I REMEMBER
LEMURIA".
Shaver claimed to have had actual physical contact with members
of a cavern-dwelling society known as the Teros, humans like
us who were at war with another subterranean race of degenerate
man-beasts known as the Deros.
According to Shaver, after the Deros had wiped out the underground
community with which he was involved, he never again visited "the
caves" in a physical sense, however he claimed that following this
he began receiving "messages" via the "telaugs", or electronically
enhanced focused telepathic augmentation beams, claiming to be
from the "Teros".
Many readers of AMAZING STORIES believed that, as time passed,
Shaver began to fall under the influence of the Deros, becoming
more delusional and paranoid and confused, unwilling to admit
the possibility that the "messages" just might not be originating
from his erstwhile cavern dwelling friends, the Teros. You can't
really blame him if this was the case, as he was a lone warrior
fighting a battle against an enemy few of us could even begin
to comprehend, especially at that time. Also Palmer's influence
in drawing him and others deeper into occultic and wiccan
philosophies [i.e. one can contact the "Teros" by making
themselves an "open channel", not realizing that there were
other more malevolent astral parasites out there looking for
a human "host"] probably did not help his situation much. Palmer
went on to start FATE magazine, which although it has carried
some very valuable information in the past was and is also
a popular stomping ground for the New Age and Wicca crowd.
Anyway, the so-called "Teros" that were tapped-in to Shaver's
mind, some including myself believed, were not always who they
claimed to be, but rather sorcerers passing themselves off
as "Teros". The overall effect of the "voices" which communicated
with Richard Shaver, Shaver's own blind faith in these voices,
and Shaver and Palmer's attempts to convert the information
into sci-fi and occult format to placate both his technical
and/or metaphysical oriented readers, resulted in the "final
drafts" of Shaver's stories actually tending to discredit the
entire subterranean world idea, making it sound so fantastic
and ridiculous and offensive to the Judeo-Christian ethic and
the Scientific crowd alike that all but the most die-hard
believers rejected his claims off-hand, and even many of the
remaining believers were drawn deeper into the occultic propaganda
which Shaver's "sources" no doubt wanted to use not only to
create an atmosphere of ridicule [as they have also done with
the UFO phenomena, and especially with the UNDERGROUND BASE
phenomena where the subterranean/aerial phenomena converge] but
to also bring all who they possibly could under their supernatural
spell, since many of these denizens of the deep -- I am convinced
-- are physical beings yes, but demonically-influenced beings who
are nevertheless adept in the ancient dark arts of remote sorcery
and witchcraft and occult mind control. Take it or leave it.
If one could consider the possibility of the existence of a race
of deformed and degenerate subterranean sorcerers intent on dividing,
conquering, infiltrating and invading the surface world [which
they consider to be the "pasture" where the inferior "livestock" who
are destined to feed and serve their "race" knowingly or unknowingly]
reside... then the very release of such information might threaten
their plans if not their subsurface empire[s] itself. So, if we
consider this a possibility, then we might see how they might have
manipulated Richard Shaver into bringing ridicule and discredit
to a subterranean reality that was in danger of being exposed,
and at the same time draw numerous people into the pit of dark
occultism by convincing them that they, too, could become channels
for the "Tero thought beams". Shaver, again no doubt with noble
intent, ended up spending much of his time cutting open rocks
in order to read the stone "picture books" that the ancient had
supposedly left...
Regardless of all this however, something else happened that we
might consider very positive. Shaver's stories prompted literally
thousands of letters, articles, reports and personal accounts of
encounters with unexplained subsurface anomalies. Sure, there
were probably the fantasies and hoaxes thrown in, but the bulk
of these accounts tended to corroborate each other and in fact
create a "master puzzle" that DID in fact begin to make sense to
those with the discernment to see the "deeper" picture. Such
reports would have otherwise remained hidden tormented memories
of those who kept such stories to themselves for fear of being
labeled lunatics. However with the "Shaver Mystery" in full
swing in the pages of AMAZING STORIES magazine, such people were
provided with the ideal sounding-board for them to air their
experiences, whether it be 1st, 2nd, or 3rd hand information.
In my early years of research into subterranean anomalies I would
spend literally hundreds of hours combing through back issues of
AMAZING STORIES [circa 1945-1950] in a large university library and
read in awe the multitudes of articles and letters on underground
phenomena that were provided by Palmer and Shaver, and originally
possibly some of our "fallen comrades" within the inner world below
who had managed to send us warnings of a sort concerning the battles
taking place beneath the earth, a battle which they warned would
one day over-flow out to the surface realm.
I was at the time beginning to learn that many of the occultic
ideas of preparing oneself to be a "channel" for supernatural
energies was a self-destructive path, considering all of the
ethereal parasites out there in the ectoplasmic realm who were
looking for human hosts, and would masquerade as any "benevolent"
entity that they could in order to sink their astral tentacles
into the ever gullible. I came to realize through trial and
error that the only "channel" who I could trust to respect my
personal sovereignty was Jesus of Nazareth, and none other. As
the good book says, "resist not evil but overcome evil with good."
With my new friendship with the "Lamb" of God above, I was able
to expose the lies of the "Serpent" below which had sunk its
astral fangs into my soul, devouring my ectoplasmic life force
energies to feed its own insatiable appetite, as it has done and
still does with millions around the world. I also had a sense
at the time that Shaver, in spite of some honorable intentions,
was nevertheless being fed propaganda by the "Deros", and so I
felt a sense that I should steer clear of many of his later
admittedly occult-fiction novellettes that appeared in A.S.
magazine, and stick with the other more tangible accounts sent
in my the readers.
However in the beginning, Shaver nevertheless was one of the
original few to voice a warning of an imminent infiltration and/or
invasion of the surface world by a demonically-possessed underground
race. In his book THE TIME MACHINE, the ever prophetical H. G.
Wells wrote about a subterranean race of man-beasts, the "Morlocks",
which literally fed off of those on the surface as a parasite would
feed off of its "host".
Sometime in the 1950's or before, or so I had heard from a few
different sources, an oceanographer by the name of William Beebee
had made a bizarre statement to reporters that one day we would
be attacked and invaded by a subterranean race. Beebee vanished
without a trace sometime after he made this statement. He was
lowered in a diving bell off the coast of Florida, and when the
SEALED diving bell was brought up and opened it was empty!
Some may read accounts of underground alien activity and, because
of the way it is written, discredit it as insane babblings, as
many had done with Richard Shaver's writings in spite of the fact
that the so-called "Shaver Mystery" dominated the pages of AMAZING
STORIES for at least 5 years and created numerous off-shoot
magazines, newsletters, books, clubs, and so on. In fact, some
may look at certain of my own earlier writings -- during the time
when I was struggling to sort out a very confusing enigma which
was apparently designed to create confusion in order to conceal
its inward secrets; also subject to intense psychic and emotional
pain which I KNOW was the result of astral/psychic/energy attacks
against my being -- and like with Shaver many may have considered
these desperate attempts to conquer, synthesize and make sense out
of a very complex mystery to be the ramblings of yet another deluded
paranoid fanatic. Oh well, believe what you will. I DO admit that
I was [and probably still am] in way over my head. But thanks to
my "higher power" I have not been "consumed". I certainly to NOT
want to fight this battle alone, and I know that MANY OTHERS who
have fought this real-life "Dungeons & Dragons" warfare could say
the same thing. Volunteer recruits ARE being accepted, but I
would warn you to make the King of Kings your "Commander In
Chief", otherwise the "Serpent" will chew you up and spit you
out. I know this by personal EXPERIENCE!
I would however suggest that rather than judging "my own"
research and writings, that you would rather consider the ORIGINAL
sources of the information -- for in reality I am really just
passing on and consolidating what others have reported -- rather
than a writer who is trying to piece the information together in
an attempt to bring some sense of balance and order to his concept
of reality, which has been challenged and stretched to the limit
by the appearance of collaborating information from numerous
sources that flies in the face of the programmed "reality" which
the media monopolists tell us we are supposed to accept. Remember,
they are in the business of making money and selling-out to those
who can supply it to them, and NOT necessarily in the business of
the TRUTH. So refuse to be "assimilated" by their propaganda
machine!
Also, perhaps we should not reject EVERYTHING that Richard Shaver
tried to tell us either, especially his original message which
he delivered in his "WARNING TO FUTURE MAN."
