Cosmon Research Foundation collection
- Palos Verdes, CA: Cosmon Research Foundation, 1964
Palos Verdes, CA: Cosmon Research Foundation, 1964. Cosmon Research Foundation archive. 58 items: 36 issues of the Cosmon newsletter. 4 special reports. 1 issue of the Junior newsletter. 3 typed and signed postcards from Gloria Lee. Early Cosmon membership card signed by Lee with a typed welcome letter signed by Jeanne Forrester (1959). Song Consummate by Christina. All 3 issues of The Work Book (The subsequent Cosmon publication). Two booklets: Peter Whitman's The Great Morning. Hope Troxell's School of Thought: Principles and Instruction from the Masters on High. 7 pieces of correspondence/communiqués from Cosmon. We are unable to locate any institutional holdings related to Cosmon Research Foundation.
Seemingly lacking the December 1960 issue (assuming it was printed) also seemingly lacking the July-December issue of 1962, but as this time coincided with Lee's hunger strike and death it is likely that no issue was released. Due to locating no institutional holdings for this periodical, we are unable to check this theory.

October, 1964. Nice collection of material related to Gloria Lee and her Cosmon Research Foundation. This is the largest collection of Lee/Cosmon material to enter the marketplace. This newsletter was the official periodical of Gloria Lee's Cosmon Research Foundation that she started in 1959. Lee was intouch (through telepathy and automatic writing) with J.W., a being from Jupiter. J.W.'s teachings, given in regular "Space Communication" ("Greetings to the Children of Earth!") and "Messages from a Master," reveal his familiarity with the occultism of the period generally and with Theosophy, New Age and Oahspe more particularly. This newsletter also includes messages from someone named "Altuna," channeled by Hope Troxell of the School of Thought in Altadena, and saucer news, schedules of "Meditation Classes," "Health and Diet Research," and miscellanea on insects taking over the world after a nuclear war, cooking eggs in ice water at high pressure, the mysteries of the Torah consonantal text read as English, etc.
Gloria Lee Holland Byrd (1926-1962) was a notable UFO contactees in the 1950s, in her case through messages from J.W., a "Being from Jupiter," through automatic writing and then directly through telepathy. Lee died during a 66-day hunger strike undertaken at the advice of her Masters to persuade the government to finance UFO research. Later, through the medium Pauline Sharpe in Florida, she communicated with her followers to advise them that all was well and that she was "learning how this thing works." After Lee's death, Barbara Steele assumed leadership of the Cosmon Research Foundation, until its folding in the spring of 1964. Much of Cosmon mission was take up by Mark-Age.
