Read about Oribello’s beliefs in his book "Cosmic Secrets of the Masters of Wisdom: A Final Solution To World Problems." 

Over the years I have had numerous opportunities to write about the late occultist William Oribello. I was always pleasantly surprised to see how much of his esoteric studies had a sound Biblical basis and evinced a positive, loving attitude toward humanity that never veered off into darker notions and potions and spells. The body of Oribello’s work was published by Timothy Green Beckley at Inner Light Publications, and Beckley’s latest posthumous offering from Oribello’s pen is called "Cosmic Secrets of the Masters of Wisdom: A Final Solution To World Problems."

Beckley says that he first met Oribello several decades ago when Oribello was living in Philadelphia and teaching a study course on spiritism out of his home a few blocks away from the Liberty Bell.

"We became pretty good friends over the years," Beckley said. "In addition to his obvious sincerity, I felt really positive vibes. His books, such as ‘Candle Burning Magic With The Psalms’ and ‘Godspells’ have become fast and hard sellers. I know he has a lot of fans because every week I get numerous emails wanting to know how they can get in touch with him. Unfortunately, Bill transcended the Earth plane a while ago, though if there is anyone who can come through from the ‘other side,’ it is he."

Beckley recalls that Oribello was always talking about the "higher spiritual beings" he met while growing up.

"They came into his bedroom when he was just a child," Beckley said, "and he would meet them in the most unusual places. They materialized or took on various forms, but Bill always felt positive vibes. The Masters of the Universe are very similar – if not identical – to the Great White Brotherhood that Madame Blavatsky met in the Far East. These are new, perfect entities that have transcended space and time and remain on the Earthly plane to educate humanity in all matters psychic and paranormal. They have unbelievable powers and supernatural abilities and are highly evolved. It is said they make their headquarters high up in the Himalayan Mountains and in sacred cities such as Agharta inside Mount Shasta. They telepathically communicate to those who are worthy."

Beckley says these kindly entities followed Oribello through most of his life, channeling to him words and messages of great wisdom, which he was meant to pass on through his work.

In the opening dedication to "Cosmic Secrets," originally published in 1985, Oribello pays tribute to this Cosmic Hierarchy of Ascended Masters and Space Brothers, which immediately confirms for the reader Oribello’s positive take on the UFOs. On page 35, he makes his beliefs even more clear.

"There are some planets in the universe," he writes, "inhabited by advanced beings that have learned to live in peace and harmony with all forms of life. Some of these beings have advanced in science and technology to such a degree that they can travel to great distances within the universe in their special craft, commonly called Unidentified Flying Objects or UFOs. The purpose of our brothers and sisters from space is to watch over us and others on planets which have not yet evolved to the point of living in harmony. These glorious beings have saved us from destruction many times, and have communicated with earthlings on numerous occasions. One well known Space Brother is Ashtar. This powerful being has communicated with me at different times and I have printed his latest message in part two of this book in which are published the Mystic Light communications. Ashtar is the commander-in-chief of the Free Federation of Planets, and is in charge of a large fleet of spaceships stationed above the Earth."

This is a fairly standard New Age concept of the aliens, helpful Space Brothers in an armada of spacecraft standing ready to save us from countless dangers, including the dangers we pose to ourselves. But it is a take on the aliens not necessarily shared by everyone in the UFO community.

For instance, I spoke to the legendary pioneering abduction researcher Budd Hopkins nearly 20 years ago for an interview that was published in Beckley’s now defunct newsstand magazine "UFO Universe." When I asked Hopkins about this decidedly positive take on the UFO occupants, he told me, "The inference that I think comes through loud and clear is they simply don’t understand what they’re putting us through in many cases, and our normal human assumption that we should be able to communicate and have wonderful understanding is just not true, it’s not operative.

"I can understand the impulse," Hopkins continued, "of people who believe that there’s some kind of wonderful understanding, like God loves us or something. Everybody likes to believe that even though Mommy and Daddy are wonderful and nice, somewhere out there in the sky there’s somebody even nicer who really loves us and really understands us. It’s a very human, almost childlike need. And I can understand why somebody would want this to be true. As a matter of fact, I would like it to be true. Who the heck wouldn’t? But that’s just not what is going on. Unfortunately, what’s going on is that there is a gap of understanding which is separate from the idea of an innate malevolence or benevolence or anything of that sort."

So we obviously have conflicting views here, right? Is Oribello, in his haste to prove the UFO occupants are benevolent Space Brothers, merely fantasizing in some childlike way about a nurturing presence similar to his earthling parents? Is he projecting on to an alien race – whose chilling disregard for the emotional well being of their abductees is only one of many blocks to a clear understanding between the species, as Hopkins asserts – his own need for a kind of security that is ultimately impossible to attain for mortals while on the Earthly plane?

Perhaps one can only answer that kind of question in the secret depths of one’s own heart. But in the case of William Oribello, some answers came from the aforementioned Ashtar and his ascended friends, which make up part two of Oribello’s book.

The first communication begins with an attempt to clear up some misconceptions. To begin with, the Space Brothers wish to declare that they are not called "The Great White Brotherhood" for racist reasons. The word "White" is used to mean the White Light of Jesus Christ, which stands in opposition to the darkness that is used as a weapon by the evil spirit of Antichrist. Also, their use of the term "Brotherhood" does not imply that women are excluded from their ranks. There are many women in the Brotherhood, and the Almighty does not judge by gender but by heavenly standards that stand outside notions of male and female. It sounds like the Space Brothers have their own kind of political correctness that they do not wish to see misinterpreted or misrepresented by the ignorant.

"The wisdom which we transmit," the channeled source proclaims, "is a medicine of sound doctrine which cures all ills at every level of human existence if it is received and given completely. Our teaching is not devoid of religious conviction, as some have taught. However, we teach religion as a science, instructing students in the techniques and systems which liberate them from illusion so that they may discover the great revelation within and understand life’s mysteries."

The would-be adept must work very hard to purify himself.

"Such understanding brings a great power in manifestation," the source continues, "within the knower’s life. The development of this power comes not with the reading of many books, nor with moving about from teaching to teaching. This power is given to the faithful disciple of Christ who follows a true scientific path. This power is withheld from the doubtful and selfish. But to those who believe and serve, the power shall be given. Therefore, the student must purge himself from all undesirable motives and seek to attain so that he may serve God and his fellows better."

It sounds a little like a rewrite of the familiar verse "The Truth shall set you free," from the Gospel, overlaid with a modern day scientific veneer. But is it still somehow real?

I suppose that would depend on your own personal feelings about channeling. I’ve spoken to other people who channeled messages from kind brothers from space. One in particular is a woman named Diane Tessman, another of Beckley’s stable of writers. She channels a male source named Tibus, who first appeared to her in a childhood abduction experience and then showed up again later when she was an adult. Tessman runs an entire cottage industry around Tibus and his extraterrestrial friends, with a monthly newsletter, individualized readings for true believers, that kind of thing.

Does her source Tibus speak the truth? I personally think there is a strange kind of formalness to his and most channeled messages. They begin with a greeting and end with a farewell that seem a little on the science fiction side of things to me, but may simply be literal alien good manners if taken at face value. I suppose that, given the fact that these are "voices" that come from some other plane of existence, we should count ourselves lucky that they can put two English words together and form comprehensible sentences that actually stretch on into legible paragraphs. One might expect a stream of totally incoherent babble from aliens unfamiliar with human languages or spiritual philosophies.

But instead there is a cohesion present in both Tessman and Oribello and their channeled sources that seems to imply a genuine message IS coming to us from somewhere, be it from outer space or the unconscious minds of the channelers.

I reviewed a book for "Mysteries Magazine" last year in which the author, a debunker named John Michael Greer, stated that the UFO phenomenon is in part just a modern extension of mankind’s long history of witnessing and confronting apparitions but is now dressed up in high-tech terms befitting our age. He also believes the present day UFO community will begin to dissolve and fade away to just a small hardcore of diehard believers, similar to what happened to the Spiritualist movement in the early years of the last century.

While this is probably not a belief shared by many people who are reading this article, it does make you stop and think for a minute. Is everything we hold true and near to us simply going to fade into some ether of unbelief as the years pass and no open contact or disclosure comes along to prove our faith? Or has Oribello touched and been touched by something genuine and lasting? Is there in fact going to be some kind of dramatic crossover in human consciousness, a transformation of even our most otherworldly spiritual articles of faith into an everyday scientifically verifiable reality? Is the contact claimed by Oribello and Tessman and others like them a necessary link in a chain to the ultimate fulfillment of a collective destiny in which we share our no-longer- beleaguered planet with God?

One can go on piling on questions like that indefinitely and unfortunately none of the channeled material available anywhere at present seems to answer them. But one can possibly start to feed one’s mind, one’s heart, one’s longing for a more peaceful and fulfilled existence, by taking a look at "Cosmic Secrets of the Masters of Wisdom" and seeing it through what Budd Hopkins calls a "childlike" approach to the as yet unknowable truth. I can’t imagine that it would do you any harm.
