It’s a pretty comical chapter title really. After the author proceeded to reveal the name of a supposed Space Brother in Chapter 2 (Orthon, for those who are following along), he now spends a chapter refuting the main UFO conspiracies about alien abductions, cattle mutilations, and vivisections.

His argument is basically that these types of supposed interactions were never reported prior to the 1950s, until the government started to discredit and spread disinformation about alien encounters. He then states that the space brethren have never engaged in this type of activity and those people that do claim to be abducted might actually have been abducted by military and para-governmental agencies instead. The author quotes one unamed Army Ranger “involved in special ops” that said they had abducted and terrified many prominent military and political figures so that they would hate aliens and support conflict with them instead of cooperation. The author then spends a paragraph showing that the abduction narratives are chiefly a Western Hemisphere belief, where 98% of all claimed abductions have taken place.

Next the author recounts several “reputable eyewitness” to alien visitors including a the president of the Russian state of Kalmykia who met with them on their spaceship for a couple of hours, Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States, who apparently met with aliens in California, and even Pope John XXIII in 1961 who talked with an alien for 15 or 20 minutes at his summer residence in Italy.

Aartsen then reiterates his point that “authentic contacts with the space people are always of a positive nature, in support of humanity’s awakening from its cosmic slumber as it is ready to rejoin the cosmic brotherhood of consciousness that it lost sight of when, in Atlantean times, mankind began to stray from this path that is laid out in the Plan of Evolution for this planet.”

I must note here that if you haven’t picked up on this yet, the author has asserted at least twice now that Alantis was real. Which truth be told, is not that shocking compared to the following claims made in the chapter. For example, he then recounts a story about Russian cosmonauts seeing glowing angels with “wings as large as jumbo jets” in 1985.

And then it gets weirder. Apparently, one of Aartsen’s primary sources of information, Benjamin Creme, asked “his Master” what this weird angelic vision was about and the Master replied that it was “a vision projected in astral matter by the Master Jesus.” So if your keeping track, that’s at least three separate Masters: Orthon, Benjamin Creme’s yet unnamed Master, and Jesus. Yes, apparently the Christian Messiah, was a Master as well.

So where does all this lead? Good question, because the author seems to realize that all this might be a bit hard to swallow. Which is why I am assuming he writes the zinger of a sentence “In all this we should remember that it is not important if one believes Benjamin Creme’s claims that he is in constant telepathic contact with one of the Masters of Wisdom who gives him unique insights that are not otherwise available.”

Why is this not important? Well, the author rattles off the list of reasons that we should believe that the alien visitors are benign:

• The legacy of the Ageless Wisdom teaching, which tells us apparently about the existence on Earth of people that have evolved beyond the strictly human state, the so-called Masters of Wisdom
• The testimony of early alien contactees such as George Adamski
• The various reputable eyewitnesses testimonies such as the Pope and various presidents from different countries and times
• The revealed shadowy governmental origins of alien conspiracy theories that promote the negative and “nefarious” views of our alien visitors

In summary, aliens are here, but they’re friendly. Hard to argue with logic as sound as this. Next up, Chapter 4: From Space In Friendship.
