Item description from seller

A complete series of transcripts of thirteen seances held in September of 1946-February of 1949. Meade Layne, occultist and founder of the Borderland Sciences Research Associates, came to prominence when a story recorded in his newsletter "Round Robin" was broadcast via the wire service. Layne claimed he knew a medium, ex-vaudeville star Mark Probert, who was communicating telepathically with people in a space ship. Probert also became quite popular in his channeling of an "Inner Circle" that included Lao-Tse, Michael Faraday, Thomas Carlyle, and Yada di Shi'ite, a supposed 500,000 year old Himalayan priest. Layne and Probert were a bit ahead of the UFO craze of the 50s and their theories that flying saucers were not extraterrestrial but rather materialized from a parallel plane, became central in what would later be known as the interdimensional UFO hypothesis. The original memoranda were issued from San Diego, and Borderland Sciences was operating from Vista by the late 1950s, so these are likely the second printing of these transcriptions, and perhaps the first collected edition. In any event, these are quite scarce, with OCLC citing no physical holdings. An important group of writings from an early duo who were quite influential in advancing ufology. . Quarto, 130; 28; 34; 38; 35, [1]; 30; 35, [1]; 30; 28; 32pp. Thirteen parts, each with its own cover sheet and index, on various color and thickness of stock; complete as issued. Original two-brad paper folder binding. Very clean. Included are 3 relevant issues of Mystic Magazine: August 1954, February and June 1955, on Mark Probert.…
