FROM THE DESK OF ALLEN GREENFIELD The first edition of my SECRET CIPHER OF THE UFONAUTS was published by the legendary Illuminet Press. Ron Bonds, the mover & shaker at Illuminet, also bought a sequel volume, Secret Rituals of the Men in Black, but, because of pressure from the Frater Superior of the magical order I was then a member of, I bought the manuscript back from Ron. Then Ron Bonds, and several of his stable of authors died under mysterious circumstances. All were relatively young, and Illuminet Press ceased to exist. A decade went by and my disillusionment with hierarchical ‘magical’ organizations profoundly influenced the subsequent course of my life. I then sold SECRET RITUALS OF THE MEN IN BLACK to another publisher. Both books h ad a following, I was eventually approached by Olav Phillips, the publisher at Paranoia Press, about publishing a combined edition of both books. He offered generous terms, and I gave my permission. Then, Greg and Dana Newkirk and their outstanding crew interviewed me, THE COMPLETE SECRET CIPHER OF THE UFONAUTS took off in an unprecedented way, thanks to their considerable discussion (In Hellier Season 1 and Season 2) of the Secret Cipher. I had always envisioned Secret Cipher as a trilogy and thought to make the third volume a serious discussion of The Secret Chiefs of the Third Order. But, as times the world over - turned dark indeed, and the hidden hand of the negative reflex of the Secret Chiefs, the rarely discussed Black Lodge began to show itself in such phenomena as increased authoritarianism both in occult circles and the world at large, disinformation sources (Q - Anon comes to mind), I decided that it was urgent that the focus be more on The Black Lodge through all of history. Thus began a prol onged process of documenting various threads that were either influenced by the “forbidden subject” -- The Black Lodge – and a glimpse of the preterhuman transcendent Black Lodge itself, the denizens of The City of the Pyramids. The result, despite much i nterference from the Black Lodge aimed at me and my publisher, finally appeared very recently, and it is indispensable to occultists, Ufologists, Cryptozoologists and others.
