In recent years hundreds of UFO contactees have been warned by the long-haired Venusians that our atomic experiments will lead to disaster* Could it be, as some have said, that atomic bombs es ie not only KII cities, but that they alsokill or disintegrate souk? lithe soul ia a fragment of energy Bilked to some greatei massof totsffigerrt energy, Then this anti-atomic-bomb posture of the ultraterrestnak could be defensive. The bomb at Hiroshima may have blown a hole in some other world beyond out space-time continuum... and a lot of moon food may have been lost in tie baraain. The startling truth, as carefully recorded by the ancient historians, is that the ultraterrestrials have always been in direct contact with millions of individuals and that they actually ruled directly over mankind for many years. In recent centuries their influence has become more subtle, but it is always there. According to the traditions of many isolated peoples, the first great emperors in Asia were god- kings who came down from the sky, displayed amazing superhuman abilities, and took over. There was a veritable world-wide epidemic of these god-kings between 5000 and 1000 B.c. The mighty Osiris and Isis walked into the Egyptian valley out of nowhere and assumed command. The myths and legends of Greece, India, and South America describe their rule. They were taller and more imposing than the men of the time, with long blond hair, marble-like white skin, and remarkable powers which enabled them to perform miracles. They displayed brilliant judgement and wisdom and exercised remarkable organizational abilities. In most cases they chose to reside on the highest mountains and hills available, commanding balls of fire and bolts of lightning and travelling about the skies in wonderful chariots. In southern Europe Zeus and his court of phantom cohorts held forth for centuries. In India a multitude of gods and demons appeared and reappeared generation after generation. Others arrived on the scene and made lasting contributions to folklore from Iceland to Scandinavia. In Central America the legendary Quetzalcoatl appeared among the Toltecs. Me was a white man dressed in a long white robe covered with tiny red crosses. He wore a great beard and according to Toltec tradition introduced science and learning to the natives. After many years of benign tule he simply vanished, promising to return again one day. When Cortes, the Spanish conquistador, landed in Mexico a thousand years later, the Indians greeted him with delight, believing that he was Quetzalcoatl. He took advantage of their superstition and sacked the Aztec empire. Deep in the wasteland of western Australia the Aborigines still cling to the andent myths of the WonAjina and regard as sacred the petroglyphs carved into rocks depicting tall, robed figures. CHAPTER TWELVE THE DEMISE OF THE GODS ‘If flying saucers are real,’ the sceptics say, "why don't they contact us?"
