I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge with profound gratitude the role of my teachers in the occult: Patriarch Michael Bertiaux, Bishop Jack Hogg and the late W. W. Webb of QBLH. I should also like to acknowledge the profound contributions of Soror Ishtaria, Outer Head of QBLH and Jim Leas, Jake Stratton-Kent and Carol Smith . My teachers in the lore of UFOlogy have been very special: my good friend James W. Moseley, ohn A. Keel, the late Richard S$. Shaver, and most especially the late Gray Barker have all profoundly influenced this work. For early help with the manuscript, I wish to thank Bishop Oscar Samson Orion for his critical comments and constructive suggestions; H. Hilliard Gastfriend, Ph.D., for his work on the manuscript; and to the late Ron Bonds for encouraging me to write this book, and having the courage to publish this book’s first edition. He died far too young as did Kerry Thornley, and Jim Keith, fellow IllumiNet Press authors. I do so want to thank Ian Blake and James Borges, BSRA, for their invaluable help in advancing this work in the years since the first publication. The contribution of Jon Sellers I cannot begin to adequately acknowledge. For advancing the New Aeon English Qabala work against considerable resistence, John Crow and Gerald del Campo as well as Stratton-Kent need special mention. Dedicated to the memories of C. S. Jones, Ron, Kerry and Jim. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
