How To Contact Space People (HTCSP)
reveals just how unusual Reality or Truth can be
when experienced outside the human value system.
HTCSP is an AUTHENTIC UFO contact text.
In its original 1969 Saucerian Press form, HTCSP is
96 letter-sized pages long, and the pages are printed
in large easy-to-read print, with two large photos and
a single diagram. The front cover is an excellent
representation of a Space People materialisation
appearance with a colourful green fertile background.
At the time of this writing, a common price for
HTCSP might be several hundred dollars, but in
terms of the sensitive nature of the information,
HTCSP contents, and implications, are priceless
in an upward heavenly direction.
HTCSP was carefully crafted by UFO contact expert
Ted Owens and Saucerian Press.
Ted Owens claimed to be the only one of very few
People to live in the twentieth century, and the
only incarnate People Being since Prophet Musa,
to have ACTUAL reliable two-way contacts with
Extremely Advanced Beings called
Space Intelligences or SI's
Who are far above and beyond any humanoid form of life
and Who are *OPEN* to contacts
with all Good People.
That is, You could be a Good Person of any race,
nation, gender or other superficial aspect,
and SI's might be willing to contact You and help You,
your society and surrounding natural environment,
to have better health and survival.
The title words of "Space People" in HTCSP limit
the context of the Space Intelligence Beings.
SI's are Other-Dimensional
Very Advanced Very REAL Beings.
And Mr. Owens was one of the only People on Earth
to specially tune and activate his own brain,
by plenty work and expert techniques, to maintain
contact SI's without suffering neurological damage,
in the form of heart attack(s), brain blood vessel
ruptures (haemorrages) or nervous breakdown(s) as
experienced by most other SI contacts.
HTCSP is mostly about Ted's life and SI-related
demonstrations when Ted lived in Philadelphia, PA, USA,
in the late 1960's and was busy contacting media outlets
and UFO organisations, trying to have People recognise
his ACTUAL contacts with SI's, Who were trying to prevent
a catastrophic disaster happening to the Planet, due to
human misactivity, especially from within the USA,
and especially due to Evil Magic, such as Euro Soviet
nuclear weapon and nuclear weapon missile delivery systems
developed and stationed by Euro Soviet invader forces
within North America.
There are various references and techniques in
HTCSP for contacting SI's in a smaller section of
this book, while the majority of HTCSP gives
plenty evidence, including five exhibits, giving
ample evidence of SI interaction with Mr. Owens,
to include accurate predictions of hurricanes
(Atlantic cyclones or Atlantic typhoons
such as Hurricane Katrina and Cyclone Tracy),
tornados and earthquakes affected by SI's.
Also included, is truthful testament to UFO ability
of SI's to disable the electric system powering World City,
and supposedly, to reverse the magnetic force fields of
the entire planet.
Ted Owens writes in the AfterWord of HTCSP:
"As this book was in final editorial production
I was advised by the Si's that each copy
will be coded (charged) so that whoever reads
it will activate power from another dimension,
placing the reader en rapport with the Si's."
Ted Owen's style of writing in HTCSP is very
interesting to read, since Mr. Owens was highly
intelligent and yet had excellent ability to get
his message, and SI's Messages, across to People,
including the CIA, in an easy-to-understand
manner and language, whether spoken or written.
There is also a Question and Answer section between
a student, Chuck Jay, and Ted Owens as the final chapter
of HTCSP.
Here are two short Q's and A's:
Q. Is it possible that we can ever reach the Si's level of
intelligence? You know, like being able to move things
with our minds, and so forth.
A. Absolutely impossible. They have different powers than we.
They have different laws of nature. You see, the Si's are
in a different world entirely. They are in another dimension.
But they have discovered how to switch from their dimension
into our dimension. Thus they have access both to their world
and our world, while we are limited to our world. So we
could never do what the Si's can do.
Q. In other words, we are completely different, then,
from the Si's.
A. Yes, completely different.
HTCSP is has one chapter that is definitely on-topic titled
How You Can Contact The SI's
with plenty telepathic and mentalist technical
information, while the majority is about Ted's
exploits, and SI demonstrations, to include many
clippings and quotes from newspapers and letters,
relating to the major UFO-caused blackouts in World City.
This book is well-geared for a younger audience,
the open-minded minority or anyone interested in REAL LIFE
adventure, to include Ted's many REAL LIFE death-defying
experiences and Ted's amazing abilities, such as his
capability to hypnotise other People by staring at them.
NOTES:
If You were to learn and practice some of these techniques,
then You might have SI's coming to visit You or test your
abilities.
But if your experience is anything like mine, You might
have to wait for years and years before any SI's show up
as obvious objective Earth-defying reality. And when
They do, You might experience neurological impairment and
difficulties as I did.
So HTCSP is not a sure thing for 100 percent success.
But with HTCSP and related materials and practice,
You could have a much better chance to contact SI's
than with no preparation at all.
And as Mr. Ted Owens stressed, SI's best contacts among
People are People who are 100 percent selfless, that is
People who live 100 percent outside of themselves and
human selfishness: People who are careful to avoid
stepping on insects. People who are always very kind,
gentle and pleasant to others outside the human race.
But Be Forewarned:
Two prominent psychic and UFO researchers,
D. Scott Rogo and Dr. John Mack of Harvard,
were murdered or killed after they studied,
and gave ethical credible public testimony
concerning Mr. Owens and Space Intelligences.
Mr. Owens and his biographer, Otto Binder, openly
warned others of potential danger to UFO students
or anyone contacting Space Intelligences:
There had been, and have been, murders of UFO
researchers, and even simple UFO witnesses, in
the 1960's, and extending through the 1970's,
probably up to this very day, related to secrecy
by human elites, and the human military, to the
human inability to contain, control or dominate
in any way the UFO's and Advanced Beings, such
as Space Intelligences, who employed Mr. Owens as
one of their most favoured special agents and
ambassadors.
If You read this, or any other book or magazine,
containing accurate accounts of Ted Owens and
SI's, You could face problems if You put related
topics in view of humans:
HTCSP would NOT be welcome by any human society
afflicted by Xenophobia, fear of Reality or fear
of a separate set of Realities or Perspectives.
HTCSP would probably not be of any value to a
human government enforced UFO contact program
because of human ulterior motives, such as
human conquest of space for World Domination
and/or human gluttony.
For an interesting book about someone who was
very much "in tune" with what Mr. Owens
and even had a writing habit like Mr. Owens,
perhaps read
The Autobiography of Malcolm X
In a totalitarian society, books such as these
would be relegated to an Underground Resistance
of Free Thinkers ("Thought Criminals") and other
People of Rightful Conscience.
It is possible that after reading HTCSP or TAO-MX,
after contacting Space Intelligences or other UFO Beings,
or having a personal relationship with Ahura Mazda Hera Zeus
Rama Allah Almighty God, MOTHER NATURE, You will no longer say
"We are only human"
and instead will gladly say
"Strange Days Have Found Us Again".
BOOKS:
Several books that Mr. Owens suggested as valuable
resources for contacting SI's are still available:
The Roth Memory Course by David Roth
Autoconditioning by Dr. Hornell Hart
Secrets of The Ages by Robert Collier
If unable to locate Autoconditoning by Dr. Hart, the
nearest book I could find is
Self Hypnotism by Leslie M Le Cron
Also, Mr. Owens recommended reading
The Sky People by Brinsley Le Poer Trench

when experienced outside the human value system.

This was a good one! This guy talks about how he created storms and blackouts with the SI's. I don't doubt him one bit. I
don't know who he was in contact with. Reminds me of those crazy creatures on space ghost. He said to contact the SI's, go
out deep into the woods alone and just sit there, point the flashlight straight up and wait. When you feel like the pressure
is coming down on you and you just want to scream or run just keep sitting there and you'll make contact. He said even kids
can do this. Its no doubt he was a genius.

As an author and avid reader of self-help/motivational books, I have observed many styles and approaches to the subject of
personal development. But none are more striking and clear than How to Get Rich on Purpose by DeWayne Owens.
PURPOSE is a book you can read many times, and each time, you will come away with a new perspective on how to enrich your life. Don't be misled by the title -- this is not a "money-making manual" or a "rags to riches" guide. This gem of a book shows you how to be wealthy where it really counts -- on the inside!
Owens is a one-of-a-kind speaker, and as you'll see when you get your hands on a copy of his book, a one-of-a-kind author. Owens identifies several "booby traps" that we fall victim to during the course of trying to achieve what we perceive to be "success." The author shows us how to detect these traps (i.e., sex, money, and power) and avoid them effectively, without letting them ruin your life.
I recommend this book to anyone who wants to be entertained and inspired by DeWayne's "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" style of writing, and who wants to live their life "on purpose" with no regrets.
Kudos! I look forward to reading DeWayne's future books!

A unique managment book on leadership

For several years our company was looking for sources on management leadership, particulalrly, related to managment of high-tech
startups. Prior to this book, the best source we found was a US army manual "Small unit leadership".
In my opinion, the best feature of the book is the fact that Jo Owen is a successful CEO himself. In addition, he interviewed 70 other business leaders for this project. Consequently, the book is full of practical real-life information and not PC psycho-babble. The writing style is very easy going and often funny. I was able to identify critical problems with some of our management practices after finishing the first 3 chapters of the book. We immediately got 10 copies for all the managers and team leaders in our company.
One possible improvement could be to add more examples in the text since most of the examples are in the last chapters of the book. However, I did not find this to be a critical problem.
In my opinion, this is the most helpful book on leadeship in management. By the way, I am a CEO of a high-tech start-up with 75 employees.

I love this series of books! I've been writing children's books for years and have read many how-to books on the topic. Bine-Stock
provides what most other books only vaguely hint at--clear instructions on how to write a picture book. Using classic picture
books as examples, Volume III guides authors through the process of developing the language they use in their manuscripts
to create instant classics that both kids and adults will love!

I liked "Hurray for Ali Baba Bernstein because it was very funny.In chapter #3, some of the shops had names that had stuff
to do with a king and he was acting silly.I also thought it was good in chapter #1 and #6 because they were mysterys and
I think this was an approprite way to begin and end the story.

Exotic tales of the Orient from the 1930's. "Dr Shen Fu", a Weird Tales magazine reprint, is about the elixir of life that
grants immortality at a price. If you're tired of modern authors who all sound alike, this is the antidote for you. Owen's
palette is loaded with splashes of Chinese and Japanese colours. Marvelous.

HUTCH OWEN: Unmarketable
Tom Hart. Top Shelf
Hart?s angry nonconformist Hutch Owen is a modern comics icon?a pissed-off homeless man who stands up for idealism and represents the individual against looming corporate hegemony. But the tales in this collection are not angry diatribes. Instead, they mix slapstick and verbal humor to create high-level social satire. In the first story, "Aristotle," Hutch pays for a cup of coffee by parading as a mascot outside his favorite coffee shop. His free-form rants catch the eye of his continuing nemesis, corporate head Dennis Worner, whose goal is to market the entire world into bite-sized, profitable chunks. The denouement finds Worner and Hutch in a helicopter over a desert "creativity camp" where Worner has sent his other lackeys for some toughening up, with disastrous results. "Public Relations" is a darker, 93-page tale set in New York in the aftermath of 9/11. Again, Hutch?s outsider freedom makes him, ironically, a prime spokesman for the "rebellion" that marketers use to sell their products to anesthetized consumers. This story is somewhat more complicated, and it doesn?t unfold entirely clearly as it takes a sympathetic look at traumatized people who are trying to find a way to survive in a commercial society. The simple art isn?t quite up to capturing the apocalyptic finale, but it defines the humor and characters well. Hart?s greatest strength is seeing all sides of the stories he?s telling. Hutch Owen doesn?t have any answers, but he has to keep raising the questions. (Jan.)
