xiv contact each other using these ancient tools, and whose Contact and Communica- tion extends to those in the world of the Profanes is not an idea that is new or shock- ing, certainly, to those of us who have experienced such Contacts and/or researched and studied the histories of THOSE WHO HAVE. Yet, there are those who find this sort of material to be disturbing to them. They find that even though they might fancy themselves to be followers of the Law of Thelema, proclaimed by its Prophet Aleister Crowley, who contacted “praterhuman intelligences” —such as “LAM,” or Aiwass - an early prototype of the now familiar Grey Alien or E. T. — anybody who holds to the very well-founded idea that Contact is a Key ingredient in the recipe is regarded as some sort of mountebank or charlatan. People like that write about “Little Green Men” (why not “Little Green Women” too?) and are crazy. Really? Then is it better to live in a “sane” form of hero-worship cults, doing what the dot-to-dot coloring book version of Magick tells the wanna-be practitioner to do? Perhaps for those who sell books like that. It is for this reason that this book has not been very easy to come by over the eleven years since it was first issued. It may have gone out print, but the demand for this 1 Ase 4 seminal work never diminished. Now, I am pleased to be writing this short introductory memoir, announcing the second. publication of Secret Cipher of the UFOnauts, not only in its first digital edi- tion, but in hard-copy format, as well.

This is all just silly make-believe. c. Fall to! Jonathan Sellers Twin Cedars Lodge 12 August 2005 c. e. Allen H. Greenfield
