Dear Leo:
Let's dispense with formalities. I'm Ted.
I like your style. Thanks for your letter of the 20th... I think there is some hope for you, as a scientist, Leo.
Most of the scientists I have known, Leo...are prisoners of politics, of government agencies, of monies available and so on...which has placed them in such a situation or situations that truth is almost a stranger to them. This is unfortunate, but it is true. One of the best known scientists in the world...whom I know personally...has been a victim of that situation. And of course...truth as such is all there is, to a true scientist. He or she can't afford to be a prisoner of anything...which might be a wall between he or she and the truth. Is it not so?
I was deliberately sassy in my last letter, Leo, to find out what sort of metal you're made of. Long years ago I studied kodokwan judo from Johnny Osako in Chicago...he's one of the world's greats...and in my first teaching session he threw me around unmercifully and deliberately sprained my larynx. I couldn't talk for a week. But I was back the next day for my regular lesson, after being so injured. That's what he wanted to find out. He told me quite frankly that he did that with everyone...hurt them painfully during the first teaching sessions...to see if they would come back. When they did...then there was some hope that they might learn proper judo methods (which is a religion with the Japanese, not just a sport).
Of course...the book in your possession now...is just a tiny portion of the miracles that have occurred. 200 have occurred by now. Most of them documented; checkable. And they've all been done while I've been broke, fighting just to make a living for my family. Without a "base" to work from. Sometimes I wonder just how much more I could have done...if I'd had a base (home and financial support from some source) from which to maneuver this UFO-power lever!
Let's be friends. I'm happy to know you. We certainly have a rapport. I've been waiting...for several years...for some honest-to-god scientist to realize what it is that I have, and set the entire thing up for a study. When SAGA comes out in July and August, read the articles...then if you're interested perhaps you can find a rich rancher or donor (such as supported Dr. Rhine's parapsych lab at Duke for so long) who will bring me out there to live with my wife and child. Who'll perhaps fund me in the starting of my own church, so that I can use these tremendous powers to help people (who will come from all over the world)...and you and your fellow scientists will then be welcome to put me through every test imaginable; and I'll bring UFO's over...and perform miracles for you and your group regularly...just as I have been doing the past 7 years, approximating 30 miracles a year.
Sincerely,
Ted Owens
