From New Dawn Special Issue Vol 19 No 4 (Aug 2025)
The field of ufology has been getting a lot of media coverage, especially since the publication of The New York Times article “Glowing Auras and Black Money: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program” (16 December 2017).
This effectively “broke” the UFO story into the mainstream. Since that time, a steady stream of leaks has trickled out to the public via government whistleblowers and witnesses. Governments of many nations, including the United States, have been taking the subject seriously, creating official programs dedicated to finding out more, while rebranding the term “UFO” as UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). The US Congress holds regular hearings on the topic, most recently in June of 2025. Invariably, they are seeking evidence proving that UAPs are physical craft and the government has advanced technology, reverse-engineered from retrieved UAP wreckage.
What is not discussed directly but hinted at in sound bites and cryptic notes concerns UAPs as being non-material and interdimensional in nature. This information seems to be suppressed by the powers-that-be, though some are trying to leak it out, even at great risk to their own well-being.
Such is the case with former intelligence official David Grusch. In his testimonies before Congress, Grusch claims the US government possesses non-human spacecraft as well as “non-human biologics” retrieved from crashed UAPs. He accuses the government of actively concealing information about UAPs and “extraterrestrials.” Grusch also used the term “interdimensional” to describe a potential origin for some of these UAPs, suggesting the craft can travel between dimensions of space and time.
A more recent example involves Mathew Brown. Brown is the newly minted whistleblower on the block, making his public debut appropriately enough on Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp’s Weaponized podcast this past May. Brown authored the Immaculate Constellation Report, which was submitted into the Congressional Record in November 2024. Immaculate Constellation, or ImCon, was a super-secret government program using artificial intelligence to scour classified servers operated by intelligence agencies and the military, searching for data on UAP encounters. Brown, a former border patrol agent, told Corbell that he had first informed his superiors about the UAP monitoring program but wasn’t taken seriously. That’s when he decided to go public, releasing never-before-seen UFO footage shot on military cameras.
On June 6, 2025, Brown posted a cryptic message on his X account. His X post was directed at Elon Musk, who, at the time, was having a public feud with Trump. They were bickering back and forth on social media over the so-called Big Beautiful Bill, being legislated in Congress. Brown had some words of advice for Musk:
“Hey @elonmusk, interested in a real asymmetric advantage to wield in this political adventure you have started? As you now know, the @WhiteHouse has long possessed a unique AI capable of accurately predicting a range of future events. Talk about some stiff opposition!”
He goes on to say:
“Still, you have played a marvelous catch-up game in this area, despite being caught unawares (h/t). So how about something else, maybe @ENERGY and propulsion? Getting to Mars will require Sirius amounts of both, and rockets feel so 1947 to me, don’t they to you?”
There’s more to the post – a lot more – which includes odd images as well as a cryptic sign-off: A.B.O.R.Y.M.O.N. We’re not sure if Musk or anyone else, for that matter, understands the meaning of Brown’s message. Naturally, internet sleuths were determined to get to the bottom of it. Someone tracked an attached image to a screenshot from a video appearing on a YouTube channel. In that video, the explanation for the word A.B.O.R.Y.M.O.N. is revealed.
Frater Eleftheria is the content creator behind the YouTube channel ‘Lifting the Lamp’ that explores a variety of esoteric topics, including philosophy, mysticism, hidden secrets of religion, and the nature of consciousness. He is an avid practitioner of angelic magic and Western esotericism, with over 16 years of experience in several orders, including the O.T.O. and A.’.A.’.
Frater Eleftheria noticed sometime in June when one of his videos went viral as a result of the hoopla generated by Brown’s tweet. ‘Lifting the Lamp’ subsequently posted a new YouTube video explaining the meaning behind the cryptic message and how it relates to the occult technology behind UAPs.
He begins with Brown’s username on X – Son of Ambramelin. ‘Lifting the Lamp’ observes that this is a direct nod to The Book of Abramelin, a key text in Western mysticism that has influenced groups and figures from the Golden Dawn to Aleister Crowley. The book is an instructional manual for contacting one’s Holy Guardian Angel. Clearly, such a reference like that was no accident.
What about the name A.B.O.R.Y.M.O.N. that Brown signs the post with? According to ‘Lifting the Lamp’, it is an angelic name buried within the outer ring of the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, a magical disc John Dee used to communicate with higher intelligences. ‘Lifting the Lamp’ mentions that this name was lost for centuries and was only recently recovered. A.B.O.R.Y.M.O.N., then, is a spirit of chaos hitherto kept under divine control, to be unleashed at the end times to usher in the Apocalypse.
It can be speculated that Brown’s references to the occult are perhaps his way of sending a layered message, suggesting that UAPs are not just physical craft from outer space but beings from another dimension that can be contacted via the mind using methods similar to John Dee’s “scrying.” In Dee’s time, these beings were called angels, but today, they are known as UFOs and aliens.
Who was John Dee? Tumble further down the rabbit hole and you’ll find that the first agent of the British crown designated 007 was a strange mystical figure named John Dee. Dee (1527-1609) was a mathematician, occultist, and royal astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I. By the time of the Queen’s coronation in 1558, Dee had become Elizabeth’s closest personal adviser. He would counsel Her Majesty on everything from science to nautical navigation. Dee was a staunch imperialist and is actually credited with coining the phrase “British Empire.”
When corresponding with the Queen, Dee would sign his name “007.” The zeroes symbolised two eyes, indicating the letter was for the Queen’s eyes only. Seven is considered a lucky number in occultism, offering protection to those marked by it. Such protection was certainly needed by Queen Elizabeth, who was constantly under threat from conspiracy plots, especially after the Pope declared her an illegitimate ruler in 1570. However, these plots were usually crushed by her formidable secret service, which included John Dee.
Dee’s numerous journeys across Europe for spiritual conferences were actually covert intelligence missions for the Queen. As enigmatic as Dee was, his assistant Edward Kelley was a far stranger character. He claimed that angels would dictate books through Kelley using an angelic language called Enochian. Dee confided in Kelley, and together they used the Enochian cipher to communicate with interdimensional beings whom Dee believed would ultimately bring great benefits to mankind and, in particular, the Crown.
A few centuries later, occultist Aleister Crowley claimed that he was the reincarnation of Edward Kelley. Some suspected Crowley of being a secret agent, although he wasn’t associated with “007,” preferring “666” instead. Like his predecessor, Crowley was obsessed with contacting interdimensional beings. In Magic Without Tears, Crowley writes:
“My observation of the universe convinces me that there are beings of intelligence and power of a higher quality than anything we can conceive of as human; that they are not necessarily based on the cerebral and nervous structures that we know; and that the one and only chance for mankind to advance as a whole is for individuals to make contact with such Beings.”
In 1918, while living in an apartment in Greenwich Village, New York, Crowley might have succeeded in doing just that. During a ritual magick ceremony – the Amalantrah Working – Crowley contacted an interdimensional being called Lam. From this, he created a remarkable portrait, as it resembles a grey alien, possibly the first depiction of a grey alien in modern times.
In the original drawing of Lam, Crowley depicts an entity wearing a type of headdress, or perhaps a crown. The crown is a type of Ankh, and according to occultist Kenneth Grant, the King, or ‘he who wears the crown,’ wears it to denote royalty (reality). That is, the Royalty of Existence. Thus, Lam also represents the “Crowned and Conquering Child” of Thelema, which Crowley’s The Book of the Law prophesies to manifest upon the earth. But this does not necessarily signify a human child. Indeed, it is Hoor-paar-kraat, or dwarf-god, symbol of the “Aeon of Horus.” A being not of this earth nor even of this dimension. It is depicted as a child because it is essentially sexless or, rather, has potential for either sex. Similarly, grey aliens have been noted for being sexless.
Kenneth Grant was a young scholar when he started working as Crowley’s personal assistant in 1944. The Beast, who had just turned 70, was far from his prime. Having long squandered his vast inheritance, Crowley was now living in a Sussex boarding house, broke and addicted to drugs. Crowley paid for Grant’s secretarial duties with the gold coin of the realm – knowledge and magical instruction. Grant had free roam of the Magus’ vast library. The two performed ceremonial magic workings, and after a time, Grant was initiated into the O.T.O. by Crowley himself. Crowley soon realised that Grant was, or would become, a heavyweight in his own right. In his diaries, Crowley wrote: “Value of Grant. If I die or go to the USA, there must be a trained man to take care of the English O.T.O.”
In June 1945, Grant parted ways with Crowley, and as a farewell gesture, Crowley offered him one of his paintings. He only needed to decide which one. Grant chose the portrait of Lam. It was a wise choice, as Grant would go on to use the portrait as the foundation for his new magical system – Typhonian O.T.O. In Typhonian O.T.O., the focus was on “construction of a magical formula” to establish communion and contact with “the Magical Entity known as Lam.” To achieve this, Grant wrote ‘The Lam Statement’, with Crowley’s portrait of Lam being used as a “Yantra,” or visual focal point, where “entry may be effected by projecting consciousness through the eyes.” The name Lam, in turn, would serve as the mantra. A magical procedure was then set forth for invoking Lam and “entering the egg.” The procedure is as follows:
1. Sit in silence before the portrait.
2. Invoke mentally by silent repetition of the Name.
3. If response is felt to be positive, but not before, enter the Egg and merge with That which is within and look out through the entity’s eyes on what appears now to the votary an alien world. (Adumbrations of identity with Lam may be experienced as a strong sense of the unreality, or unfamiliarity, of the ‘objective’ universe.)
4. Seal the Egg, i.e. close the eyes of Lam and await developments.
5. At the first sign of stress or fatigue, return to mundane consciousness by opening the eyes and by oozing out of the Egg in a form determined by the experiences within.
6. Perform, astrally, the Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram of Earth, at the Eight Spaces, and record all experiences in detail, paying particular attention to lunar phases (celestial and, where applicable, terrestrial), and any physiological phenomena accompanying the experience.
The most important part of ‘The Lam Statement’ and Crowley’s Amalantrah Working is that contact with an extraterrestrial entity, rather than being a passive event, can be an act of will, initiated by a human. Ufologists call this a Close Encounter of the 5th Kind (CE5). This method shares many similarities with the practices of CSETI (Centre for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence), led by Dr Steven M. Greer, which employs specific protocols, including “thought,” to establish contact with aliens. Curiously, this technique, known as Coherent Thought Sequencing, was discovered in 1973, around the same time (1972) that ‘The Lam Statement’ was published.
Additionally, occultists believe these techniques are ways to open or close portals for interdimensional travel. Trans-dimensional entities known as the Grey Ones have manifested through this Occult Typhonian Order Current. However, Grant claimed that Crowley sealed this transmission line by way of the portrait of Lam, who is the leader of the Grey Ones. Why have sightings of the ‘Grey Ones’ been common since the late 20th century? Grant believes it is the direct result of the Babylon Workings in 1946.
In 1946, rocket scientist Jack Parsons, a disciple of Crowley, performed the Babylon Working, a continuation of the Amalantrah Working. This, according to occultists, resulted in yet another interdimensional portal opening or perhaps even a widening of the gateway first discovered by Crowley.
In the Babylon Working, Parsons wasn’t trying to contact Lam, but rather, the Whore of Babylon herself, which would help him summon a Moon Child. Apparently, someone forgot to close the door behind them. Certainly, 1947 saw, in UFO terms, all hell break loose, starting with the Kenneth Arnold UFO sightings over Mt. Rainier, Washington, on June 24, 1947. And then, of course, later that summer, the notorious Roswell, New Mexico, alleged UFO crash and retrieval of alien bodies. Ever since, a steady stream of UFO sightings has occurred.
Frater Eleftheria, on his YouTube channel ‘Lifting the Lamp’, believes that Mathew Brown was goading Elon Musk into investigating UAP technology with the tweet “rocket fuel feels so 1947 to me, don’t they to you?” Rocket fuel is a direct reference to Jack Parsons, who pioneered the development of solid rocket fuel. This paved the way for the American space program, which led to the Moon landing, the Space Shuttle, Mars Rovers, and much more. Indeed, the foundation for Elon Musk and his SpaceX program can be directly linked to Jack Parsons.
“1947” in turn refers to the year that the UFOs entered our system through Parson’s Babylon Working. This ritual involved Enochian invocations to usher in a New Aeon or the End Times. As well, they were performed in the Mojave Desert, which happens to be where Area 51 is located – a place notorious for UFO sightings. In this way, Brown connects the year 1947 with rocketry, UFOs, and the occult.
History has demonstrated that there is an overlap between UFO encounters and spiritual experiences. Modern techniques for contacting UFOs, such as the CE5 protocols of Steven Greer, resemble occult practices of Crowley and the scrying techniques of John Dee. As well, there are records of intelligence agencies attempting to communicate with interdimensional beings. Religious accounts of angels suggest we have had UAP contact for thousands of years. The key point is that contact can be achieved through telepathy, and with proper understanding and training, we have the technology to do so at our fingertips.
