THE NEW EARTH The Ascension of Planet Earth

THE NEW EARTH The Ascension of Planet EarthBook II:THE EARTH RE-BORNUPDATES FROM THE GALACTIC FEDERATIONIntroduction to the Coming ChangesThe time is coming for us on Earth to become aware of the existenceof other inhabited worlds outside of our own physical world. Therehas been much evidence given to us through the more esotericliterature that there are many millions of worlds teeming withintelligent life. These worlds are of course mostly far in advance ofour own, and live on planes of a higher vibration rate than our dense-plane Third Dimension. Visitors from these other more advanced worldshave up to now been forced to limit knowledge of their presencewithin our World by the aggressive policy of our Governments, whofearing losing their controlling power over us, have conducted amajor "cover up" of their existence. Numerous UFO reports supplied bythe Military Forces to Governments have been secretly filed away inTop-Secret archives inaccessible to public scrutiny.Nonetheless, there have been many thousands of unofficialreported "flying-saucer" or UFO sightings, and though usually ignoredby the mainstream media under the constraints of their Governments,they have nonetheless been published within the limited circles ofthe more esoteric book publishers. Our Space Visitors have up to nowbeen forced to limit their direct contact only to those of theirparticular civilization now incarnated on Earth and to otherdedicated "Light Workers" who have truly open minds. One of the firstmajor "Contactees" was George Adamski, who wrote several books in themid 1950s detailing his actual physical contacts with the SpaceVisitors and his trips up in their "flying saucer" Scout-ships to thelarge Motherships overhead. In his second book "Inside the SpaceShips", he describes in detail the interiors of these Motherships andrecounts his many conversations with their Commanders and otheronboard Spiritual Leaders. A few years later a Brazilian, DinoKraspedon, also published a book describing his meeting with theCaptain of a 300-foot Flying Saucer, who gave him much usefulscientific information about space travel and their methods of saucerpropulsion. The Captain, for example, explained how they can move athigh speeds through our atmosphere by creating a vacuum around theScout Ships through ionizing the air around the craft, thus not onlypreventing atmospheric friction but also providing the high forwardand vertical motion. He also gave us some of the first availableinformation on the approaching end of Age involving our Planet andthe other Solar Systems within our Galaxy and describes some of thecoming major Earth Changes. (For an edited online text of the Book,click on: "My Contact with Flying Saucers" by Dino Kraspedon).Another extraterrestrial phenomenon that has surfaced during the lasttwo decades has been the thousands of perfectly formed "Crop Circles"which have mysteriously appeared overnight in fields of wheat andother cereal crops, especially in Britain, showing us many beautifuland complex patterns. These also have been well documented in booksand on the Internet.Although our Space Visitors have up to now only made limitedcontacts, they are promising that they will soon make their firstmajor appearance in a "First Contact" series of landings. They willnot do this until our major Governments open up their Secret UFOfiles to the general public and inform us about their existence, thusavoiding any possible risk of public panic. The Space Visitors alsowant a guarantee from these Governments that they will not attackthem when they land. The French Government has just recently openedits secret UFO files to researchers, and in March 2008 the BritishGovernment also announced plans to make its UFO documents public withhundreds of documented sightings of UFOs across the UK, taken over 10years, to be released by the Ministry of Defense. There is howeverlittle chance of the present US Government regime doing the sameuntil it is replaced by a new Administration no longer under theinfluence of the secret dark "Cabal" which also controls much of theWorld's political and financial systems.A secret United Nations meeting was held on the 12th of February 2008at the New York office of the United Nations to discussUFOs/extraterrestrial life. The issue of recent UFO sightings was oneof many topics discussed, including a discussion of an unprecedentednumber of UFO sightings in 2007/2008. Security around the meeting wasintense. Everyone was searched. Pens, pins, key chain items werecollected and not allowed in the meeting room. There were multiplesecurity checkpoints. UN security cards were confiscated uponentering the room. These secret meetings were attended by over 40representatives of 28 Member States. A document was circulatedamongst them that referred to an offer by extraterrestrials to helpprepare Humanity for the disclosure of extraterrestrial life. Themeeting also discussed how the UN was being encouraged to take astand on the release of secret technologies that will enable thedevelopment of free energy. A similar document was later circulatedto the relevant Ministries all of the 28 Member States attending.The Galactic Space Federation have passed many warnings since WorldWar II addressed to our Scientific Community and Governments aboutthe extreme dangers in the development of nuclear devices. Theyexpressed particular concern about our development of the HydrogenBomb. Hydrogen, they say, is a basic living element permeating oursurrounding ethers, and use of Hydrogen bombs could set off a massivechain-reaction conflagration, not only destroying our Planet butsparking an even larger conflagration throughout the Ethers of Space.This would seriously harm many other worlds and therefore theGalactic Federation have been forced to take steps several times toprevent this from happening.However, an even more important message given by the SpaceConfederation concerns the coming "Earth Changes", part of a majorcyclic ending of a two-hundred million year-long "Grand UniversalAge", when all our Universes, Galaxies and Solar Systems are to moveup to a higher dimensional plane. This is also when our own SolarRing completes its two-hundred million year orbit around the Galaxy'sGalactic Core, and the entire Galaxy itself completes an infinitelylonger orbit around the Great Central Sun. This also coincides withthe ending of Earth's 2000 year-long Piscean Age which commenced atthe time of the Birth of Christ and is to finish by the end of theyear 2012, as also prophesied in the Mayan Calendar. A new "AquarianAge" for Earth will then commence with its long-prophesied "GoldenAge of Peace" lasting over two thousand years.There have been many prophesies made in the Bible and its Book ofRevelations about these coming "End-Times", the final "Day ofJudgement" and the "Second Coming of Christ". A similar message hasalso been given by the many Esoteric Schools of Higher SpiritualKnowledge which confirm the ending of a long Universal Cycle, a timewhen the Creator commences an "in-breathing" back to Source for allto assimilate their past evolutionary experience . This will precedea further long outgoing cycle of evolution on the ever advancingSpiral of Evolution.Earth is to "Ascend" from our present dense physical "ThirdDimension" vibration level, skipping the Fourth Dimension which willitself no longer be available within our own Solar System, movingdirectly up to the Fifth Dimension to join with our neighboringPlanets who will at this time also be moving up from their presentFourth Dimensional status to the Fifth. Since quite a few of Earth'sinhabitants originate from other planets and Star Systems and havehad the experience of living in those more advanced worlds and higherdimensions, this will not be an undue problem for them. However, themany younger souls in the less developed countries who are not yetready to make such a steep evolutionary jump, will be lovinglyrelocated in some of the other Solar Systems still capable ofsupporting the Third and Fourth Dimensions. Those that do make theAscension up to the Fifth Dimensional New Earth will return to atotally cleansed New Earth, possessing a beautiful pristine andgreen "Garden of Eden" environment and within a peaceful, loving andcompassionate society.However, before our Planet can move up to such a high dimension, itneeds to go through a thorough surface cleansing of all theenvironmental detritus and destructive effects caused by Humanity inthe past. During this much needed major Planetary Cleansing period,which will involve great surface upheavals, those Humans who areready to make the Ascension up to the higher Dimension will be liftedfrom Earth's surface by the Galactic Federation Force's Scout Craft.Some will be taken up to the overhead Motherships and others, throughchoice, will be taken down into the interior hollow "Inner Earth",which is at present the seat of an existing Fourth-dimensionalcivilization named "Aghartha". This ancient civilization, littleknown to most of us, lives an almost idyllic life within the hollowinterior of Earth's planetary crust in a pristine environment ofverdant landscapes, rivers, lakes, crystal cities, all illuminated byits own interior Sun forming the high-density core of Planet Earth.[More information can be found on the Inner Earth at the Link to "TheInner Earth & Realm of Aghartha" at the end of Book II]And so those of us who are not at this time ready to make theAscension up to the Fifth Dimension, will need to be relocated toanother Third-dimensional World within yet another Solar System.There they must commence, once again from the ground up, a new roundof Third-dimensional physical evolution. Those whose emotions andtheir concentration on their own self-interest at the expense ofothers and whose vibrational levels are still firmly rooted in thelower Third-dimension would otherwise find themselves in intolerablediscomfort at the Fifth vibrational level, no longer able to expresstheir many lower level desires and strong emotions.Those planning to Ascend to the Fifth Dimension therefore need atthis time to undertake a fundamental change of self-motivation, tomove away from a survival-mode of subjective concentration on pureself-interest and its natural tendency towards competitiveindividualism and domination of others. We need in future to embracea new attitude of giving unselfish "service to others" withoutthought of personal gain, and of living a life of unconditional love,forgiveness and mutual tolerance to those around us.When the physical "Earth Changes" finally do take place, the mostvisible manifestation would be a tilting of Earth's Polar axis,possibly caused by the close approach of another large Celestialbody. The resultant disruption of Earth's magnetic orbital balancewould set in motion a major redistribution of the centrifugal balanceof the surface, promoting a rising and a sinking of the maincontinental land masses, accompanied by massive earthquakes, winds ofover 600 miles an hour, enormous tidal waves, great floods and so on.Previous shiftings of our Planet's Polar axis have been well-documented, with much visual geological evidence being left behind.Entire continental landmasses have at some time either been submergedbeneath the oceans, or raised up to become some of today's highestmountain ranges. Seashells and skeletons of fish have been found highup in the Himalayas and the Andes. The great plains of the USA fromMexico to Alaska are known to have once been under the sea, andtoday's Eastern coast of America was the 'shore-line' of what are nowthe Appalachian Mountains. The North and South Poles have movedrapidly to new positions with dramatic surface and climatic changes,as was discovered in 1799, when frozen bodies of mammoths wereunearthed in the tundra of Siberia, their stomachs containing freshlyeaten grasses and leaves normally belonging to tropical regionsthousands of miles to the south. Former tropical coral reefs havebeen discovered as far north as Spitzbergen, within what is now thePolar Circle. Coal deposits found in Antarctica indicate that thearea was once covered by equatorial forests.We need to also become aware that Mother Earth (or Gaia) is herself ahighly evolved Spirit ensouling the Planet. She now awaitsimpatiently for her long-desired Ascension up to the Fifth Dimension.She has had to maintain a long and painful duty of supporting a lowlyevolved combative and turbulent Humanity as part of her CelestialService "Contract". However, before she can Ascend, she needs tocleanse her Planetary Body of all the past pollution, damage anddetritus that Humanity has accumulated on her surface. Her PlanetaryBody has reached such a complete ecological breakdown and disorderthat she simply could not, or would not want to move up to a moreethereal density until it is thoroughly cleansed. The many areas ofinterior blasting within her crust and Humanity's increasingextraction of oil has also caused her much physical distress. Oil isin fact the very "life-blood" of her Planetary Body, part of thesystem that helps to move the tectonic plates and, when necessary, tolock them together. An insufficient quantity of this substance at theintersection of two major continental plates resulted in the massiveunderwater Sumatra Earthquake and tsunami of December 2004.Humanity itself must go through a process of erasing all of its ownpast negative "Karma" before Ascending. We have at this time tobalance out all our past karmaic debts with others and learn toforgive all those that we consider have wronged us. Many of our longrepressed emotional hurts and historical grievances accumulated overthousands of incarnations, held as deep scars within our Soul and ourDNA, need to be brought to the surface, resolved and transmutedbefore we can finally "Ascend".We can in this respect see that there is much world-wide activitycurrently going on in the process of final resolving of all pastKarma, plainly visible in the settling of many historical grievanceswithin the present day conflicts and the recent worldwide escalationof violence. This is very evident in the re-surfacing of the oldChristian-Muslim conflict in the Middle East which was firstgenerated during the times of the Crusades, a long past confrontationthat needs to be finally resolved at this time.Planet Earth has long been separated from contact with other higher-vibration worlds by a surrounding "Veil" or "Frequency Barrier". Thiswas first set up over 13,000 years ago after the destruction of theContinent of Atlantis by the Dark Forces who have secretly beencontrolling our World's political and financial administrations sincethen. As a result we are unaware of all the other inhabited Planetswithin our Solar System and Galaxy. When we view them with our lowfrequency physical vision through telescopes and space probes, all wesee is their long-abandoned Third-dimensional core, their inhabitantshaving long since moved up to higher frequency/vibrational bands oflife encircling their Worlds, and therefore totally invisible to us.In conjunction with the ending of this major Universal Age with amajor step-up to higher dimensions for all members of the Universe,there is now being enacted by decree of Prime Creator, a major "clean-up" within our Sector of Creation of all the former "Forces ofDarkness" . This is a final end to over 500 million years of darknessbrought in by a Dark Force from another outside Creation whichinfiltrated our former Realms of Light. They managed to create manyworlds of total darkness of their own within our Universe as well asover-running other worlds of Light. In the process, they have leftbehind them within our darkened Universe a scene of much destructionand damage, which is now in the process of being finally restored tothe ways of the Light.Planet Earth up to now at the lowest end of the Third Dimension andconsequently with the densest physical vibration level has had afunction as a virtual "remand center" for many of the most negativeand destructive Beings created through the actions of the Dark Forcesbrought in from other parts of our Universe. It has also had tofunction as a "kindergarten" for large numbers of young Human soulswho needed to start out their long evolutionary path within a densephysical Third-dimensional world. Most of these are found in Earth'sdeveloping countries. They came here mainly to learn how to controltheir naturally primitive emotional responses with its inherenttendency towards violent conflict. Through a long process of trialsand tribulations, they eventually are being forced to learn todevelop a deeper respect for each other and for the sanctity of alllife. To assist them along this path there are also incarnated onEarth as "Light Workers", many evolved Beings from the more advancedworlds, who also have a function of helping in the advancement of therest of our World's more developed civilizations.Planet Earth's original Galactic role set out by Prime Creator was tobe the Galaxy's "Museum of Bio-diversity", a Living Museum displayingall the diversity of biological life to be found throughout the otherworlds. Many of the original Human settlers of Planet Earth broughthere on the Mother Ships of the Galactic Federation, were a speciallyselected team of volunteer "Celestial Gardeners" who had pledged tohelp develop new and better varieties of plant and animal life forthis Galactic Museum. They at that time made a long-term "contract"to remain here as Stewards of Earth until a virtual "Garden of Eden"was finally established. Although they were soon dragged down intolower levels of dense physicality by the infiltration of the outsideDark Forces, they nevertheless maintained a "Heavenly Pledge" toreturn here repeatedly until their job was finally done. Millions ofyears later, many are still here working on developing a beautifulenvironment for our Planet.Our Planetary role as a Biological Museum and Showcase for the Galaxyexplains why we are endowed with such a vast and rich variety ofplant and animal life. Our Planet is considered by other worlds to beone of the most beautiful green Water Planets within our Galaxy. Thefuture Fifth-dimensional New Earth will develop this great wealth andvariety of life to even greater heights, creating a trueCelestial "Garden of Eden", not only for our own enjoyment, but forthe education and enjoyment of all the other worlds. We shall also bea great center of learning and information through the great Libraryof Porthologos within the Inner Earth, with its massive crystalcollection of past records derived from all over the Universe.Earth also has up to now been a hard "School of Conflict". It wasgiven, amongst its other roles, the difficult task of being the finalplace for resolving the great Cosmic experiment in "PolarityIntegration" between the fundamental polarities of Light andDarkness, Good and Evil. Thus the other Worlds are watching for thesuccessful outcome of this experiment with great interest. Finding alasting "Middle Way" on Earth will provide a final resolution to themany devastating Galactic Wars and millennia of conflict.Henceforth, Planet Earth's political example for other worlds will beto demonstrate a deeper respect for the integrity and rights ofothers. As a future loving and helping society, we shall demonstratea new attitude of mutual respect, incorporating it into our guidingpolitical principle to be known as the Principle of Liberty orPrinciple of Non-Injury, in which we take all possible steps to avoidintruding into or causing injury within another's Path of Evolution.This will be exemplified as a personal and social moral-behaviourcode of "do unto others only as you would have them do unto you".Chapter 1:ANCIENT PROPHECIESMany Biblical predictions have for long told us clearly andgraphically of the coming "Final Day of Judgment", the "Second Comingof The Christ" and of our final reward of an Ascension up to theHeavenly realms.The old Biblical "Final Day of Judgment" was traditionally dividedinto several different sequences, starting with the "Rapture", inwhich those who are "just and faithful to the ways of the Lord" arelifted up to the Heavens to avoid the "Tribulation" which follows.Then will the "Wrath of the Lord" descend upon those who have failedtheir Final Judgment followed by a great cleansing of Earth. Asmall "Remnant" who repent and learn to change their ways wouldpossibly survive the Tribulation and emerge from their hiding placesunderground and in caves to commence a glorious new Millennium, aprophesied 1,000-year Golden Age of Peace, to be started off with theSecond Coming of The Christ to Earth as the "Prince of Peace, King ofKings and Lord of Lords".Isaiah describes the Tribulation graphically in the Old Testament:"Behold the day of the Lord cometh cruel both with wrath and fierceanger to lay the Land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinnersthereof out of it. For the stars of Heaven and the constellationsthereof shall not give their light: the Sun shall be darkened in hisgoing forth, and the Moon shall not cause her light to shine. And Iwill punish the World for their evil and the wicked for theiriniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, andwill lay low the haughtiness of the Terrible. I will make a man moreprecious than fine gold; even a man the Golden Wedge of Ophir.Therefore I will shake the Heavens, and the Earth shall remove out ofher place". [Isaiah 13: 9-13]The New Testament gives four major prophecies of the Final Day ofJudgment and the Second Coming of The Christ: from the Apostles Mark,Luke and Matthew, and the Book of Revelations by St. John of theIsland of Patmos.In the Gospel according to St Luke, Jesus speaks of the "Signs beforethe End" and the "Second Coming":"The days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone uponanother, that shall not be thrown down. Nation shall rise againstnation and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be indivers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights andgreat signs shall there be from Heaven.And there shall be signs in the Sun, and in the Moon, and in thestars; and upon the Earth distress of nations, with perplexity; thesea and waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and forlooking after those things which are coming on the Earth: for thepowers of Heaven shall be shaken.And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with powerand great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, thenlook up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh".[Luke 21: 6, 10, 25-28]Likewise from St Matthew:"For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since thebeginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. Andunless those days should be shortened, there should no flesh besaved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun bedarkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shallfall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Butof that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the Angels of Heaven,but my Father only". [Matthew 24: 21-22; 29, 36]In the Book of Revelations, St John the Divine was given a vision inwhich a High Angel broke seven seals, each containing a revelation, afuture vision:"And I beheld when he had opened the Sixth Seal, and, lo, there was agreat earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, andthe moon became as blood; and the stars of Heaven fell unto theEarth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she isshaken of a mighty wind.And the Heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; andevery mountain and island were moved out of their places.And when he had opened the Seventh Seal, there was silence in Heaven.And I saw the Seven Angels which stood before God; and to them weregiven seven trumpets.The first Angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingledwith blood, and they were cast upon the Earth: and the third part oftrees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.And the second Angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burningwith fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea becameblood; and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, andhad life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.And the third Angel sounded, and there fell a great star from Heaven,burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of therivers, and upon the fountains of waters; and the name of the star iscalled Wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they weremade bitter.And the seventh Angel sounded; and there were great voices in Heaven,saying, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of ourLord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever".[Revelation 6:12-14; 8:1-2 & 7-11; 11:15]The Buddhist tradition also foretells the end of the presentcivilization 2,500 years after the birth of the Buddha, at which timemankind will be redeemed by Maitreya, the future Buddha. The exactbirth year of the original Buddha is not known, but the earliest ofseveral dates is 566 BC, thus confirming the timing of the predictedchanges to occur after the end of the 20th Century.In the early 1830s the Church of the Latter Day Saints was founded onthe prophecies given to Joseph Smith by an Angelic Being, namedMoroni, and on Smith's subsequent discovery, under Moroni'sdirection, of buried golden tablets of great antiquity inscribed withmuch ancient wisdom which was to become "The Book of Mormon".The Mormon teachings repeat the Biblical warnings of great judgmentswhich were coming upon the Earth, with great desolations by famine,sword, and pestilence..."And when that day shall come they shall be visited of the Lord ofHosts, with thunder and with earthquake, and with a great noise, andwith storm, and with tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire".One of the best known of more recent psychics and clairvoyants, EdgarCayce, gave between 1901 and 1945 thousands of trance 'readings'.Cayce became well known for his trance diagnoses of illnessesand 'miracle' cures, later to be documented and confirmed by medicalscience. He also gave many predictions of future events which were tobe proved unusually accurate. For the end of the Twentieth Century hepredicted earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and catastrophic changes tothe Earth's surface:"The Earth will be broken up in many places. The early portion willsee a change in the physical aspect of the West Coast of America.There will be open waters appearing in the northern portions ofGreenland. There will be new lands seen off the Caribbean Sea, anddry land will appear. South America shall be shaken from theuppermost portion to the end, and in the Antarctic off Tierra delFuego LAND, and a strait with rushing waters..." [3976-15, Jan 19,1934]"The Earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. Thegreater portion of Japan must go into the sea. The upper portion ofEurope will be changed as in the twinkling of an eye. Land willappear off the East coast of America..."[3976-15, Jan 19, 1934]"There will be upheavals in the Arctic and the Antarctic that willmake for the eruptions of volcanoes in the Torrid areas, and therewill then be the shifting of the poles - so that where there havebeen frigid or semi-tropical areas, these will become the moretropical, and moss and fern will grow..." (3976-15, Jan 19, 1934)"In the next few years, lands will appear in the Atlantic as well asin the Pacific. And what is the coastline now of many a land will bethe bed of the ocean... Portions of the now East coast of New York,or New York City itself, will in the main disappear... while thesouthern portions of Carolina, Georgia, these will disappear". [1152-11, Aug 13, 1941]Cayce also refers to ancient records of Atlantis hidden undergroundin a secret chamber near the Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, covering theentire history of mankind from pre-Egypt to the end of the 20thCentury - which is, said Cayce, "...that period when there is to bethe change in the Earth's position, and the return of the GreatInitiate to that and other lands for the folding up of thoseprophecies that are depicted there". [5748-5][From the "Life Readings" by EDGAR CAYCE. Copyright 1971, 1993, 1995by the Edgar Cayce Foundation, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23451, U.S.A.and used by permission.]As we consider the possibility and the implications of thesepredicted Earth Changes, we can be quite certain that physicalchanges of enormous magnitude have already occurred many times duringPlanet Earth's long history.Chapter 2:A HISTORY OF UPHEAVALWe tend quite naturally to regard "our Earth" as a stable andunchanging home, a "sure stronghold" which could never besubstantially disrupted. Our confidence may from time to time beshaken by major earthquakes and typhoons, but these soon pass over,and we prefer to regard them as minor temporary upsets in anotherwise comfortable and predictable environment. There is howevermuch geological evidence of sudden and major structural changeshaving taken place on Planet Earth in the past; and it is notunreasonable to consider the possibility that what has happened inthe past may well be repeated.Historical accounts written many centuries ago bear witness toprevious planetary disruptions. Immanuel Velikovsky has made a majorcontribution to research in this area; his "Worlds in Collision",written in 1950, assembles numerous Biblical and ancient historicalreferences to such events, drawing substantially on contemporaryaccounts from the Middle East and lower Mexico.He quotes, for example, a long inscription in hieroglyphics on ashrine of black granite found at El-Arish on the border of Egypt andPalestine. It reads: "The land was in great affliction. Evil fell onthis earth. There was a great upheaval in the residence. Nobody couldleave the palace during nine days, and during these nine days ofupheaval there was such a tempest that neither men nor gods could seethe faces of those beside them".This inscription corresponds with the Bible, Exodus 10,22: "And therewas a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. They sawnot one another, neither rose any from his place for three days".East of Egypt, in Babylonia, the eleventh tablet of the 'Epic ofGilgamesh' refers to the same events:"From out of the horizon rose a dark cloud and it rushed against theEarth; the land was shrivelled by the heat of flames. Desolationstretched to heaven; all that was bright was turned into darkness.Nor could a brother distinguish his brother. (For) six days thehurricane, deluge, and tempest continued sweeping the land, and allhumans back to their clay were returned".The Ancient Egyptian historian Ipuwer witnessed and survived thisearthquake, recounting that: "The towns are destroyed, Upper Egypthas become a waste. All is ruin. The residence is overturned in aminute". [Papyrus Ipuwer 2:11, 3:13]From his research into ancient documents, Velikovsky concludes thatthe Earth was forced out of its regular motion by the close approachof the body of a comet: a major shock convulsed the lithosphere, andthe area of the earthquake was the entire globe. Terrific hurricanesswept the Earth because of the change or reversal of the angularvelocity of rotation and because of the sweeping gases, dust, andcinders of the comet.He supports this contention of worldwide disruptions with similarquotations from historical records of Mexican tradition.The Mexican sacred book "Popol-Vuh", the "Manuscript Cakchiquel", andthe "Manuscript Troano" all record how the mountains in every part ofthe Western Hemisphere simultaneously gushed lava. The volcanoes thatopened along the entire chain of the Cordilleras and in othermountain ranges and on flat land vomited fire, vapour, and torrentsof lava.Velikovsky quotes "Manuscript Troano" and other documents of theMayas which describe a cosmic catastrophe during which the ocean fellupon the continent and a terrible hurricane swept the Earth. Theserecords provide graphic accounts of hurricanes which broke up andcarried away all towns and forests. Exploding volcanoes, tidessweeping over mountains, and raging winds threatened to annihilateHumankind, and actually did annihilate many species of animals. Theface of the Earth changed, mountains collapsed, other mountains grewand rose over the onrushing cataract of water driven from oceanicspaces, numberless rivers lost their beds, and a wild tornado movedthrough the debris descending from the sky.The ancients referred to the physical agent that brought darkness andswept away houses and trees and even rocks and mounds of earthas "Hurakan", from which our present word 'hurricane' is derived.Hurakan, it is recorded, destroyed the major part of the Human Race.In the darkness swept by wind, resinous stuff fell from the sky andparticipated with fire on water in the destruction of the world. Forfive days, save for the burning naphtha and burning volcanoes, theWorld was dark, since the sun did not appear.In a later book, "Earth in Upheaval", Velikovsky supports Biblicaland other historical references with currently visible geologicalevidence of past upheavals.He describes, for example, an area in Alaska to the north of MountMcKinley which has a frozen layer of "muck" composed of a jumble oftrees and extinct animals, such as the mammoth, mastodon and super-bison. This was analyzed by Professor F.C. Hibben of the Universityof New Mexico, who concluded:"There is ample evidence that at least portions of this material weredeposited under catastrophic conditions. Mammal remains are for themost part dismembered and dis-articulated, even though some fragmentsyet retain, in their frozen state, portions of ligaments, skin, hair,and flesh. Twisted and torn trees are piled in splintered masses. Atleast four considerable layers of volcanic ash may be traced in thesedeposits, although they are extremely warped and distorted."The presence of volcanic ash indicates that a volcanic eruption didtake place, and repeatedly, in four consecutive stages of the sameepoch; but it is also apparent that the trees could have beenuprooted and splintered only by hurricane or flood or a combinationof both agencies. The animals could have been dismembered only by astupendous wave that lifted and carried and smashed and tore andburied millions of bodies and millions of trees. Also, the area ofthe catastrophe was much greater than the action of a few volcanoescould have covered."During the late 1830s Hugh Miller made a special study of the Old RedSandstone in Scotland in which an abundant aquatic fauna is embedded.The animals embedded within it are seen in very 'disturbed'positions. Miller writes: "Some terrible catastrophe involved insudden destruction the fish of an area at least a hundred miles fromboundary to boundary, perhaps more. The same platform in Orkney, asat Cromarty, is strewn thick with remains, which exhibitunequivocally the marks of violent death. The figures are contorted,contracted, curved; the tail in many instances is bent around to thehead; the spines stick out; the fins are spread to the full, as infish that die in convulsions."In 1901 a quick-frozen mammoth was found in Beresovka, Siberia, sowell preserved that its eyeballs were fully intact. It still hadbuttercups in its mouth and the content of its stomach indicated thatit had been eating temperate-zone plants, no longer growing in thatarea. R.S. Lull, Director of the Peabody Museum at Yale, reports thediscovery in his book "Organic Evolution", confirming that: "...afractured hip and fore limb, a great mass of clotted blood in thechest, and unswallowed grass between the clenched teeth, all point tothe violence and suddenness of its passing."Rock geology shows that there have been major uplifts of land massesaround the globe. The great massif of the Himalayas is estimated tohave risen to its present height since the last Ice Age of over11,000 years ago. Likewise the Andes in South America also showevidence of having been thrust upwards eleven thousand years ago.Many other researchers have identified evidence of major geologicalchanges during our Planet's long history; indeed, there are manyareas in which even a casual observer can see such evidence for himor herself, as for example when erosion shows cross-sections ofhillsides miles from the present coastline displaying deposits ofseashells.An interesting example, quoted in "Doomsday 1999 A.D.", by CharlesBerlitz, can be found in Bolivia. The stone city of Tiahuanaco is soold that its broken pottery shows pictures of Pleistocene animals.Although Tiahuanaco is now at an altitude of 13,500 feet, too highfor a population to live, its docks and quays indicate that it wasonce a seaport and that it rose with the Andes when they were created11,000 years ago.Immanuel Velikovsky summarizes these sudden geological changes:"Wherever we investigate the geological records of this Earth, wefind signs of catastrophes and upheavals, old and recent."Mountains sprang from plains, and other mountains were levelled;strata of the terrestrial crust were folded and pressed together andoverturned and moved and put on top of other formations. Igneous rockmelted and flooded enormous areas of land with miles-thick sheets,and the ocean bed flowed with molten rock. Ashes were showered downand built layers many yards thick on the ground and on the bottom ofthe oceans in their vast expanse. The shores of ancient lakes weretilted and are no longer horizontal and the seacoasts show subsidenceor emergence, in some places, of over one thousand feet."Rocks of the Earth are filled with remains of life extinguished in astate of agony. Sedimentary rocks are one vast graveyard, and thegranite and basalt, too, have embedded in them numberless livingorganisms. Shells have closed valves as they do in a living state, sounexpectedly came the entombment. Vast forests were burned and washedaway and covered with the waters of the seas and with sand and turnedto coal. Animals were swept to the far north and thrown into heapsand were soaked by bituminous outpourings. Broken bones and tornligaments and the skins of animals, both of living species and ofextinct species, were smashed together with splintered forests intohuge piles."The evidence is overwhelming that the great global catastrophes wereeither accompanied or caused by the shifting of the terrestrial axis,or by a disturbance in the diurnal and annual motions of the Earth.The shifting of the axis could not have been brought about byinternal causes, but only under the impact of external forces. Thestate of lavas with reversed magnetization, hundreds of times moreintense than the inverted terrestrial magnetic field could impart,reveals the nature of the forces that were in action".['Earth in Upheaval', by Immanuel Velikovsky – 1955 – Buccaneer BooksInc., Cutchogue, NY, USA.]Set against the wider time-frame of the many dramatic surface changeswhich have already occurred, current predictions of majorphysical 'Earth Changes' may now perhaps seem less extreme. There isplenty of evidence that the Planet's very geography has in fact beendramatically changed many times before, and likewise, there is noscientific evidence to support the contention that such changes willnot happen yet again.Human Earth civilizations have also come and gone. Most people todaylook at the story of Humanity and assume that it has lasted for onlysix thousand years or so, but there have in fact been many much oldercivilizations, such as Lemuria (or Mu) in the Pacific Ocean and thelegendary Atlantis in the Atlantic Ocean.Chapter 3:PROPHETS OF OUR TIMEIn March 1994, NBC television network broadcast a programentitled "Ancient Prophecies", covering both ancient and contemporarypredictions of Earth Changes. It was seen by millions of American andCanadian viewers and prompted over 24,000 enquiries. A major featurewas the prediction by Gordon-Michael Scallion of violent andsignificant geological changes coming to Earth by the end of theMillennium. Although these events have not yet manifested, they stillremain a potential possibility for the near future, and thereforetheir details are worth taking into consideration.Mr. Scallion had worked in the field of communications and educationuntil 1979, when he experienced a health crisis which left him withthe 'gift of prophecy'. Some of his more notable prophecies were the1992 Californian earthquakes on April 22 and June 28, HurricaneAndrew in Florida, and the Mississippi floods of 1993.Viewers of the March 1994 program were shown a Future Map of theUnited States: 1998-2001 which Mr Scallion had visualized through hisinner sight. Published by his company Matrix Institute, the mapshowed major geological changes in the United States occurring in twodistinct phases:A first super-mega California earthquake in the 10-15 magnitude rangecauses a fracture along a line from Eureka to Bakersfield andsouthwest to the Gulf of California-Baja. Gaps and fissures occurrunning the length of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys.Flooding inundates much of the coastal area of California, causingsome of the existing land mass to become islands.In a second major Californian earthquake the Central North AmericanPlate is thrust violently upward on a tilt, causing much ofCalifornia to go under the sea. Higher elevations remain as islandsand become known as the Isles of California. A large part of the landmass west of a line running from Newport Oregon to Tucson Arizonabreaks away and sinks within minutes. This line forms the new WestCoast of the United States, and with Phoenix, Arizona, becoming amajor seaport.Along the Eastern seaboard, coastlines from Maine to Florida are alsopushed inland for many miles. Atlanta Georgia becomes a new seaport.Florida is reduced in size by more than half and all the Florida Keysdisappear beneath the sea.In the center of the American continent, a wide belt of water floodsthe Mississippi basin, connecting up with the Great Lakes, whichthemselves rise and expand, cutting off the Eastern part of theUnited States from the West and effectively creating two separatelandmasses.Mr. Scallion envisaged the Earth's magnetic pole shifting twice tothe west: seven degrees at first, and then a further six degrees as aresult of magna displacement through a shifting of the Earth's core.As a contributory element he saw a large heavenly body entering oursolar system, the "Blue Star", causing a realignment of Earth'sposition within the system.We must bear in mind that although these events have not yetmanifested themselves, they are all potentialities that can be seenfrom higher spiritual planes. Altough they have in fact been delayedand greatly modified by the relatively good progress made by Humanitysince that time, they nonetheless will still manifest, althoughprobably to a lesser degree, at the appropriately set Divine time forour final Ascension.Another 'Future Map' of America was channeled through Lori AdaileToye, between 1988 and 1991, transmitted jointly by the AscendedMasters Saint Germain, Kuthumi, El Morya, Mother Mary, Sanat Kumara,Sananda, and other Masters of Earth's Spiritual Hierarchy. It waspublished as the 'New World Atlas' by Seventh Ray Publishing ofPayson Arizona.This material demonstrated remarkable similarities with the mapproduced by Mr Scallion. Much of the American West Coast was to beinundated, from Washington State down to southern Oregon, with theocean covering most of California, Nevada and Utah. This created anew coastline extending from the Rocky Mountains, near Denver, downto Phoenix, Arizona. Similarly the Mississippi River on this mapexpands into a wide inlet, running up to an enlarged Great Lakesarea, with the East Coast partially flooded, and the bottom tip ofFlorida sinking under the ocean.Again much of the same outline was prophesied from yet anothersource:Hypnotic past-life regression is an established technique in whichthe patient under hypnosis is able to recall specific episodes fromhis or her past life or lives. The pioneering past-life and prenatalwork of Dr Helen Wambach PhD is reviewed in her two published booksRecalling Past Lives (Harper & Row 1978) and Life Before Life (BantamBooks 1979). Having demonstrated this technique to her satisfactionduring a series of group workshops, Dr Wambach wondered how it wouldwork when applied to the future. She therefore began giving similarworkshops offering participants a chance to look ahead at theirpossible future lives through hypnotic progression, projection notinto the past, but into the future.Dr Wambach was at that time being assisted in her research andexperiments by Dr Chet Snow PhD, who also then himself became hersubject for a series of future life projections in 1983. Dr Snow wasat that time an historian/archivist working as a civilian employee ofthe United States Air Force, subsequently obtaining a hypno-therapycertification and now practising regression therapy. The fascinatingrecord of these future projections under hypnosis is related in DrSnow's book "Mass Dreams of the Future".Under hypnosis, Dr Snow described, aloud, visions of his future lifeat the end of the 20th Century. Here he sees himself living on aremote ranch north of Phoenix Arizona, in a small community which hadbeen set up both as a school for the development of psychiccommunication skills (mental telepathy) and as a survival base forthe foreseen coming 'World Changes'.He recounts that their small community was then busy laying-in stocksof food and other supplies, which were now becoming both expensiveand scarce through changing weather patterns. In the world news, theweather was becoming increasingly unpredictable, with freak storms,record heat and cold periods, drought and exceptional rainfall aroundthe globe. The world stock markets and financial systems were alsocollapsing.In a time period of a year later, Dr Snow was made aware that a majorearthquake had just hit the Pacific Rim area. The coastline areas ofsouthern California had sunk, submerging the once densely built-upcoastal areas under the sea. Mount Fuji had erupted, causing much ofJapan to sink and triggering a chain of earthquakes and eruptions allaround the Pacific 'Ring of Fire', including the West Coast ofAmerica right up into Alaska.By the end of two weeks, television and radio were now tellingeveryone that "the worst is over". As Dr Snow, still under hypnosis,recounted: "The water is receding slowly and we'll just have toadjust to the new situation. The Federal Government is alreadysetting up temporary relocation centers farther inland and everyoneis talking of rebuilding. A lot of cropland has been permanently losthowever, not to mention so much of the Southern Californiacoastline."Moving forward a couple of months, he reports that there followed inSouthern California a far more devastating earthquake than theprevious one: "It accelerated the sinking of major areas along theWest Coast so that the coastline moved up to within a couple ofhundred miles of Phoenix Arizona, and only the mountain areasremained above water all the way up to Oregon. In the south, the Gulfof Mexico surged inward over Texas; our part of Arizona was more orless cut off to both the east and west by water."Moving yet further ahead in time, Dr Snow continues:"At first everything appeared totally black around me. Then Irealized that the sky was completely dark now. The weather had alsoworsened as tons of dust and volcanic ash were thrown into theatmosphere by this second series of eruptions. Although the worstoccurred during the first few weeks of havoc, the Sun simply did notreturn. Most green vegetation in a wide belt of the temperate zonewithered and died."['Mass Dreams of the Future', by Chet B. Snow and Helen Wambach -Deep Forest Press, Crest Park, CA – 1993]One must bear in mind when considering such predictions, that alltimings and sequences of future events can never be entirelyaccurate, as projection forward in time can only be made up ofpotential future. In all evolutionary progress, a sequence of real-life "cause-and-effect" events must always first of all take place,constantly being subjected to the changing modifications ofindividual "free will". Although a fairly accurate view projectedforward is possible from higher planes, Humanity's inherent giftof 'free will' causes unexpected modifications in any future sequenceof events. Also, any future direction these take is always subject tothe total progress of Humanity's 'Collective Consciousness' duringthat period. This explains why we our now being informed by "HigherSources" that much of the severity of the previously predicted "EarthChanges" has since been greatly modified, thanks to the fairly rapidspiritual and evolutionary progress of Humanity in recent years.And now, approaching predictions of future "Earth Changes" from atotally different source, there have been since World War II anenormous quantity of channeled communications from Higher SpiritualRealms on the coming Earth Changes. A few selected examples follow:The Master Hilarion, an Ascended Member of Earth's SpiritualHierarchy:"The cities will become piles of rubble. The beautiful woodlandscenes will be flattened by the might of terrible storms. Greatearthquakes will rip the mantle of the planet apart in a patchwork ofdestruction never before seen on the Planet in the entire history ofthe race."Continents sunk thousands of years ago will rear up out of the oceanto show man that his civilization is not the first, and that this isnot the first time that his efforts have been crushed by catastrophe."The atmospheric storms, which will roar across the surface, willtear down forests of trees at a single swipe, and raise water out ofthe natural reservoirs of lake and ocean to spread destruction andinundation far inland from the shore. Nothing will remain of the once-vaunted civilization that men have built for themselves."During the last portion of the Tribulation, the light of the Sun andthe Moon will be shrouded out completely for long periods, and thevery air that is breathed will turn to a foul miasma in the lungs."[HILARION, channeled by Maurice B. Cooke in 'The Nature of Reality'.First published 1979. Marcus Books, Box 942 Bradford , Ontario L3Z2B4 - Canada – Tel: (905) 551-1661 - chris.rieder@rogers.com -www.hilarionbooks.com ]The Master Jesus-Sananda:"And there shall be a mighty earthquake and it shall split in twainthe country of North America, and it shall be as nothing the worldhas known before, for it shall be that there shall be a great part ofthe great land of the North Continent go down, and a great sea shallform within her center part from Canada into the Gulf of Mexico."And the waters of the Mediterranean shall wash over the land to theNorth, unto the polar zone, and it shall return unto its place, andthe Black Sea and the Mediterranean shall become one sea. And thereshall be great changes within the borders of Asia."Africa shall be changed - her shoreline shall be broken to the West,and great rivers shall flow within the desert."Ye have been told time and time again that the Earth shall shiftupon her axis, and so shall she. There shall be a change of climate.That which is now the barren North shall become semi-tropical. Treesshall bear semi-tropical fruit and the fauna shall be that of a newspecies. And that which is the impassable barrier of the South Poleshall be penetrated and Man shall discover a new continent within."[JESUS-SANANDA, channeled by Sister Thedra in 'The Prophecies FromOther Planets Concerning Our Earth' - The Association of Sananda andSanat Kumara, Sedona, Arizona]Brother Philip, of the Abbey of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays inthe Peruvian Andes near Lake Titicaca, gives us transcripts channeledfrom the 'Great White Brotherhood' in his book "Secret of the Andes".He quotes Sanat Kumara, a highly evolved Master from Venus whoassumed the role of 'Planetary Logos of Earth' over 18 million yearsago:"And now we enter this great period of Initiation. The skies of Earthwill become fantastic. I say verily that pen has not recorded norvoice uttered that which shall become a great sign and display in theskies of the Earth, for the elements themselves will have control fora short period of time. There will be great rainstorms and floods.You have heard how it rained forty days and nights. That is nothingcompared to what it will rain. Perhaps it would be forty months. Theentire face of the Earth shall change. It will become unrecognizable."Very soon the winds shall howl, sooner than we can realize. It isalready upon us, for I have witnessed it on the plane which is justabove that of physical expression upon the Earth, and that means thatif it descends one more plane it shall find reality."[The Master SANAT KUMARA, channeled by Brother Philip in 'Secret ofthe Andes' - Leaves of Grass Press, Novato, California.]Another source of channeled information originates from the Starsystems of the Pleiades. The Pleiadians are a planetary race whichhas been closely connected with Earth and the Human Race since ourearly arrival on this planet; they themselves come from the sameHuman evolutionary roots in distant pre-Earth times on other planets.They have developed a prosperous and peaceful society within theirown Star system, and have always maintained a close watch overEarth's development down through the ages. In the book "The PleiadianWorkbook", channeled by Amorah Quan Yin, the 'Pleiadian Emissaries ofLight', speaking through their spokesperson, Ra, give an importantinsight into the wider context of the coming Earth Changes:"You and your planet are undergoing a unique and wondrous transitionin your spiritual evolution at this time. You are preparing for aquantum leap unlike any that has ever occurred before. In order tohelp you understand this more fully, I must first tell you about theorbit of the entire Galaxy around the Great Central Sun of All ThatIs. Just like your 'Solar Ring' (our term for a 'solar system')orbits around the Galactic Center, the Galaxy itself moves throughspace in the form of continual, connecting circles, like a greatCosmic Spiral."At the completion point of a multi billion-year single circularorbit around the Great Central Sun, our Galaxy connects diagonally tothe next 'ring' on the great Cosmic Spiral. When this diagonal movefrom one ring of the great Cosmic Spiral to the next takes place, allof the planets, solar systems, and their inhabitants simultaneouslytake an 'initiatic' step into a new evolutionary cycle. This isoccurring now. You are not only at the end of a 26,000-yearEarth/Sun/Pleiadian cycle; the entire Pleiadian system, whichincludes this solar ring, is at the end of a 230,000,000-year orbitaround the Galactic Center, and the entire Galaxy is at thecompletion of its infinitely longer orbit around the Great CentralSun...."Prior to the end of 2012, Earth will undergo a spiritual andphysical house-cleaning, corresponding to what have commonly beencalled the 'Earth Changes'. These changes, which have already begun,intensify both externally and internally as your Solar Ring movesdeeper into the Photon Band, a high-frequency cosmic emanation fromthe Galactic Center. You have been in and out of the edges of thisPhoton Band for a few years now, and, after the year 2000, will startto be be completely immersed in this band for the next 2000 years."Floods, earthquakes, changes in land masses, volcanic eruptions, andfinally a complete pole shift, will all take place within theremaining years prior to the year 2013, at which time the GalacticSolar Initiation of Earth, as a Mystery School and home for theCities of Light, will finally take place. You who now live on Earthmust choose whether or not you are ready to become spirituallyresponsible Human Beings in order to remain on Earth beyond thattime. Those who do not wish to remain on Earth will be taken toanother planet in a different part of the Galaxy where karmic lessonsand third-dimensional evolution will continue."[Ra, spokesperson for the collective Pleiadians Emissaries of Light,channeled by Amorah Quan Yin, in "The Pleiadian Workbook", published1996 by Bear & Company, P.O.Box 2860, Santa Fe, NM 87504, USA.]A more detailed background on the nature of the Photon Band is givento us from another Pleiadian Source, in this case by Satya,Astrologer, Keeper of the Records for the Pleiades and the CentralPleiadian Library of Alcyone. Alcyone not only is the Central Star ofthe Pleiadian Constellation, but also functions as the Great CentralStar within this quadrant of the Milky-Way Galaxy for our own SolarSystem."Your Sun is spinning as the eighth Star of the Pleiadian spiral, andthe Pleiades are themselves spiraling within the Galaxy as the wholeGalaxy spins on its axis. Your Solar System travels through thePhoton Band when Earth precesses the Ages of Leo and Aquarius, andthen you orbit through the "Galactic Night" during all the otherzodiacal polarities of the Great Ages - Cancer/Capricorn,Gemini/Sagittarius, Taurus/Scorpio, Aries/Libra, and Pices/Virgo. Atthis time, you are moving into the Photon Band as you are leaving theAge of Pices and moving into the Age of Aquarius."Photon Bands are 7th-Dimensional "Donuts of Light" that emanate fromthe vertical axis of the Galactic Center. They spin around and aroundthrough the Galactic Center into the darkness of the Galactic Night.Galactic Centers [a central Galaxy vortex that appears as a "blackhole"] are of 9th-Dimensional pure darkness, and yet, as they spin ontheir axes, the astounding power of their vortexes shoots out 9th-Dimensional galactic synchronization beams. These synchronizationbeams spin out of the black-hole Galactic Centers, torqued by thegalactic axial spin. These beams, belts, axes, and horizontal planeswith black hole vortexes in their centers are 8th-Dimensionorganizational systems of intelligence. In the Milky Way Galaxy, this8th Dimensional brilliance is part of the Light that belongs to theGalactic Federation, holding the Galaxy in form by means ofthe "information-highway" Photon Bands. All stars existingpermanently within the several Photon Bands generate spirals thatcapture other Stars, and these special "Photon Stars", such asAlcyone, then function as Galactic Federation Libraries."Your Sun is linked to the Pleiades by means of a spiral of StellarLight radiating out from Alcyone. Star Light is 5th-Dimensional Lightthat moves out through the Stars of the Pleiades - out from Alcyone,through the Pleiadian Stars of Merope, Maya, Electra, Taygeta, Coele,and finally via Atlas to your Sun. Thus in your legends, Atlas holdsEarth on His shoulders in space. Each Pleiadian Star, except Alcyone,which is located in the Photon Band eternally, travels through the7th-Dimensional Photon Band for 2000 years of Earth time. Each Starin the system then travels through the Galactic Night for varyinglengths of Earth time."The Stars close to Alcyone, such as Merope and Maya, are in thePhoton Bands for more time than they are in the Galactic Night. YourSolar System spends the most time out in the Galactic Night - 11,000years in the Dark and 2000 years in the Light. What does this mean?Various members of the solar system become very dense while in theGalactic Night, and this generates experience called "Karma" -feelings in our 4th-Dimensional bodies on the spiritual level thatseek expression and then translate as actions down on the ThirdDimension physical world. Bodies traveling in the 7th-D Photon Bandsbecome less dense, more multidimensional. As a result, theiracquisition of the Photon Light cleanses their emotional bodies andintensifies vibrations in physical bodies."The 7th-Dimension "donuts" of Photonic Light coming from theGalactic Center are information highways that stimulate the natureof "curiosity". The desire for union, for twinning, for newexpressions of both sides of a duality, derive from this passion ofseeking. This seeking is what causes the rods of 7th-D Photonic Lightto curl back on themselves to the Galactic Center, forming theminto "donuts". The Galaxy would disintegrate into empty space withoutthe nucleus of gravity in the Central vortex, from which pulses ofPhotonic Light then shoot out."See your own Solar System as a disk with the Sun in the center andall the planets whirling around it. That disk is divided into twelvezones, the Twelve Great Ages of the Zodiac. As the planets movethrough these zodiacal zones, you can locate where a planet is inrelationship to the Sun in these zones with astronomical ephemerides.For now, it is enough for you to know that Earth first entered thePhoton Band during the Spring Equinox of 1987 and has been steadilymoving into it further - one week more each side of that entry pointeach year. The border of Photonic Light is currently inching acrossthe disk of your Solar System. Earth was first in the Photon Bandfrom March 16 to 23 in 1987, then for three weeks in 1988. ThePhotonic slice in the Solar Disk increases by two weeks each year,and precisely half of your Solar System will be immersed when thePhoton Band reaches your Sun at the Winter Solstice 1998. EventuallyEarth's entire orbital path will be engulfed in this tidal wave oflight by the Winter Solstice of 2012. Eventually, the whole SolarSystem will be totally in the Photon Band. During the next 2000years, it will be travelling all the way through it."[Satya, channeled through Barbara Hand Clow, in "The PleiadianAgenda", published 1996 by Bear & Company, P.O.Box 2860, Santa Fe, NM87504, USA.]--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Our forthcoming LIGHT BODY through Mary MageauHumanity is experiencing a great awakening as we currently enter thistime of transformation. Many of us are searching for deeper meaningin our lives as we change jobs, end old relationships, begin newones, relocate to new places and dream bold, creative new dreams. Allaround us we witness to the fact that ordinary people are now askingquestions, demanding answers and requesting greater accountabilityfrom our governments, churches and large institutions that hold powerover us. And what is the driving force behind these world wideevents? This scenario for change that is occurring everywhere isbeing driven by the waves of light that are continually bombardingour solar system and the Earth plane. And in the near future all whochoose to fully participate in the new raising of consciousness willbe transmuted into higher dimensional bodies of light.Within a 2,000 year period our Solar System passes through a band ofextremely high energy. This band has been referred to as the MenasicRadiation or the Photon Belt. It is a period of intense light that wehave now entered and which will bring all life forms within it into anew and higher vibration. This Photon Light energy has the capacityto lift all of life into a higher frequency dimension. It carries theseeds for the potential enlightenment of all beings as the atomicstructures within the very cells of our bodies, are tuning themselvesto match the rising frequencies. We are shifting from a Third-dimensional carbon based body (that is from one that matches thevibratory rate and direction of atomic spin characterized by theelectrons that make up carbon) to a Fifth or higher dimensionalcrystalline body (that is to one that matches the atomic spin andfrequency of crystal). So too the bodies of animals, plant life andall upon and within the earth are making this transition with us, asis our entire Galaxy.Our Light Bodies are also being activated as these new energiesrecalibrate our dormant DNA strands that contain the blueprint ofourselves as Divine and fully conscious Beings. Currently most ofHumanity has only two functioning strands of DNA, intertwined into adouble helix. This portion of our DNA structure contains informationpertaining to our biology - such as our individual features and thegenetic information passed on through our family lines, e.g.: apaternal grandfather's tendency toward arthritis, or a mother's genesfor musical talent. These two strands also hold the genetic codes forour physical evolution. But there is another part of our DNAstructure that has to do with the spiritual component of the HumanBeing, one that science has not presently considered. If one ispersuaded that the Human Being consists of a Soul embedded within abiological body, then it should logically follow that the geneticlinks within each individual would also contain spiritualinformation. And if this is so what has become of it?Many of these spiritual elements were deliberately turned off in ourancient history because there was a struggle to control this aspectof a Human Being. Very dark energy extraterrestrial forces, who werealso genetic engineers, desired to keep the development of Humankindfirmly under their control. They achieved this through the use ofgenetic manipulation to produce fear and domination. This eventoccurred in Atlantis, over 13,000 years ago, when the Human DNAmolecule was breached. When these dark forces unravelled andreprogrammed our DNA, they were able to shut down and isolate many ofits strands and Human DNA was reduced to only a double helix. Thedisconnection of our original DNA manipulation resulted in a 'Veil'being placed between our five physical senses and our spiritualawareness. However there was a promise given from the Higher Realms.At some time in our future we would be allowed to develop againaccording to the divine blueprint of the original plan. In themeantime Humanity had to undergo a long and painful period ofspiritual development. Those guiding our spiritual heritage have sentrepresentatives to assist us to elevate our thoughts and desires, soas to grow spiritually and regain our lost abilities. These advancedsouls include the prophets, Jesus Christ, Muhammed, the Buddha,Archangel Michael and many others.[Mary Mageau White (Sestriel)]Chapter 4:CLEANSING PLANET EARTHJust as many of us may prefer to view our planet as timelessly stableand unchanging, closing our minds to past and possible futuredisruptions, many also have a parallel view of Planet Earth as aninanimate object which we may exploit and abuse at our pleasure.The 'Higher Wisdom' however gives us a view which is now gainingincreasingly wide acceptance on Earth: that Mother/Goddess Earth is aliving sentient Being, to whom we owe not just our respect, but theprivilege of being permitted to reside and evolve upon Her surface.Goddess Earth, or Gaia, as she is also known, is a very High Beingbelonging to an earlier wave of Creative Light Beings. She iscorrectly referred to in the "female" as she has retained a certainpredominantly female characteristic. Having already completed her ownfirst Great Cycle of Evolution and returned to the Godhead in a pastGreat Universal Age, she was then given further 'Higher Service', achance to become a "Planetary Being" through "ensouling" the body ofPlanet Earth. She was later given the assistance of a 'PlanetaryLogos', usually a highly evolved soul who maintains contact betweenall the evolving sentient lifeforms within and on the surface of aplanet and its ensouling Being. Up to now this has been the role ofLord Sanat Kumara, who was originally trained for this service onPlanet Venus. It is he who has provided the vital link between MotherEarth and the Mineral, Plant, Animal and Human Kingdoms. However, atthis time of the great Changes of Age, he himself will be shortlymoving up to even higher service in another area of the Universe.The Master ZEN TAO: "That Being whom you know as Mother Earth, theGoddess Gaia is a very powerful Being, possessing profound wisdom andpower. By the invocation of a single word she can transform the wholenature of her being. Although she has released partial dominion onher surface to Humanity as Planetary Guardians of the mineral, plantand animal life so that Humanity may learn therefrom, ultimately Gaiacontrols the planet and the nature of what manifests on its surface.Nature is her nature."This planet is now approaching a time in its evolutionary cycle whenit will change dramatically, rather like a snake throwing off its oldskin. Every so many thousands of years, no matter whether Humanity isincarnated on Earth or not, this planet goes through a metamorphicchange as part of its natural cycle. As our physical bodies replacethemselves every seven years, so does the planet's body. This isessential for the planet in order to preserve the creative, thereproductive nature of its being. So at its appointed time the planetgoes through a cycle of transformation. This necessarily involvesmajor movement of the planet's landmasses, movement of the waters,and the restructuring of the matter of the Earth."[The Master ZEN TAO, channeled by the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury.]We should recognise, however, that the need for a thorough cleansingof Planet Earth at this time is more than a matter of regular end-of-cycle procedure.Planet Earth has up to now served as host to many souls of youngerevolution and also of many more aggressive and destructive souls fromother parts of the Universe for a period of over twenty six millionyears. Earth is well-known within our Milky Way Galaxy as beinga "school of hard lessons" for resolving all the aggressive anddestructive tendencies that have arisen out of yet undevelopedemotional Heart-centers which yet lack the qualities of caring andlove. Many throughout the Universe have chosen, on spiritual levels,to come here in order to work out their naturally aggressive anddestructive tendencies. This is to be achieved through theoutworkings of the Law of Karma and functioning within a relativelyharsh and backwarded physical world rife with conflict.There are also many young evolutionary souls commencing the path ofbecoming a Human who have come here to learn their first elementarylessons. They have come to learn to properly discriminate betweengood and evil, and more importantly, to develop a fundamental respectfor the sanctity of life. They need to learn not to resort to theinstinctive primitive reaction of killing and maiming each other whenlife starts to get difficult, as so often happens in a typical non-developed country, usually the result of their total inability toproperly organize themselves socially and economically.From the higher Spiritual Planes there is visible anaccumulated 'black cloud' of negative thought that has beendeveloping over a long period within the Ethers surrounding Earth.This great cloud of black negativity is now at last being cleansedand reduced through Humanity resolving all its past Karma at thistime of End of Age. However, there is still a yet major cleansing tobe done of all the massive physical damage, pollution and detritusleft on Earth's surface by Humanity:SANAT KUMARA: "Before the New Age can begin on Earth, our Planet willbe rewarded for its years of service at the lowest level, byundergoing a thorough cleansing of its surface, removing andneutralizing our cumulative environmental damage and the dark cloudof accumulated negative thought which now surrounds us."The physical manifestation of this great cleansing will beprecipitated by a tilting of the Earth's axis resulting in the Planetbeing literally 'shaken up'. This will cause an expansion of hermolecules to a more tenuous, less dense aggregation, thus allowing ahigher vibration rate."The cause of the destruction that shall come upon the Earth is fromMan's own thinking. The Elements! They are intelligent life! They arepart of the Infinite One, and because they are part of the InfiniteOne they will not respond to Man's negative thinking any longer. Andthey will rebel, causing great tidal waves and great winds."[The Master SANAT KUMARA, channeled by Brother Philip in "Secret ofthe Andes" - Leaves of Grass Press, NOVATO California]The Master ZEN TAO: "The Mineral Kingdom is under the control ofHumanity. Humanity influences the Mineral Kingdom by its own thought-forms, by its own patterns of behaviour. Humanity can, and must, co-operate with that Kingdom if it is to continue on its evolutionarypath on the Planet Earth, but for so long has the Mineral Kingdombeen abused and vandalized by Humanity in order to serve its ownends, no matter what the cost to the Mineral Kingdom, that this co-operation has broken down. It is because of this that Humanity nowapproaches a time of planetary transformation, when the minerals ofthe Planet will move, will vibrate to a different note. If Humanitydoes not change to that note, does not recognize it, then it willperish."So be aware that this moment of rebirth is coming. The timing andthe nature of the changes are known only to the Creator. WhilstHumanity can, and will influence these changes, it can not and willnot prevent their happening. The test for Humanity lies in itsacceptance of the Earth Changes as a natural and necessary happening,as an event which it has chosen to experience."[The Master ZEN TAO, channeled by the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury.]Because Planet Earth has largely performed a role as a 'sacrificialhost' to the less evolved and the more aggressive/destructive typesof Humanity, she has suffered considerable physical abuse andpollution to her planetary body. Further evidence of Planet Earth'sgreat sacrifice is offered in this beautiful testimony by the AngelicBeing, ELOUAI:"Greetings to you, my Beloveds. I am Elouai and I am a "Builder" ofmanifested Matter. I am not upon your Human line of evolution, but Iam not one of what you call the Nature Forces. I stand with a companyof others outside your Planet. I am not a space Being from anotherplanet. My home is within the higher dimensional vibrations of space.I want to communicate to you what we feel about your Earth and yourwork. My companions and I are among those who dwelt in space and werebrought here long ages ago as companions of the Solar Logos whocreated this particular Solar System."We are builders within his Solar Realm. Every planet that is formedis in a dynamic state of life and of growth, drawing to itself thesubstances of nourishment and releasing that which it cannotassimilate. Thus, there are those forms and manifestations of energyin creation which are the unused, unintegrated, unresolved anduntransmuted results of the creative process."As in all living systems, until perfection and complete wholenessare achieved, there are in the body of the Solar Logos, which is theSolar System and all its Planets on all their levels of being, thoseforces and energies which correspond to waste material. These must betransmuted and reintegrated into the cycle of life as raw materialfor future creativity. In the evolutionary movement forward throughtime, this residue which is left behind must be gathered up andpurified, and then returned to the Creative cycle; it cannot beallowed to accumulate or to express itself within the evolving bodyas centres of unintegrated and separate energies existing out oftiming and out of place, hence becoming sources of evil."Please understand that for various reasons, Earth was set aside forthe special task of being the 'purifier' for your Solar System for aperiod of time. Hence, there were attracted to your world thoseelements which I have mentioned of unresolved, unintegrated matter,energy and life to be harnessed into the denser nature of materialform. Left in their exposed state, these energies had the power toimpact harmfully upon the sensitive fabric of the Solar Being andupon the other Planets and their life-forms, being like a toxinwithin the systems of your own bodies."However, by being encapsulated into dense matter within the body ofEarth, their vibrations could be slowed down and shielded from thebody of the whole until these energies could be purified andreintegrated harmoniously and in love into the whole. As this wasdone, the Purifiers and Redeemers came to Earth as well as those whowill yet be Purifiers and Redeemers in destinies yet unperceived andperhaps undreamed of by you. Earth became a schoolhouse in theexperiences of confronting and resolving the challenges of primitivecreativity and evolution."Your Planet became an arena for the interplay of the forces ofevolution on many levels and the forces of non-integrated life andenergy from many sources, some quite primitive and others moreevolved, but all within a sidetrack of evolution that placed theseenergies outside the communion of the whole. Thus, Earth becameanalogous to a kidney in the body of the Solar System, regulating andtransmuting the energies throughout the system, removing impuritiesand returning to the body of the whole only what is harmonious andintegrated with the progressive evolution of the whole. Beings whohad become tainted with energies of retrogressive evolution ordevolution would come to Earth to be cleansed and reunited with thewhole."In this fashion, your Planet has performed a tremendous service toall lifestreams and all planetary systems within the solar family,enabling them to continue their patterns of development with greaterease."No Planet or Being is asked to perform such a transmutative andsacrificial task endlessly, nor is it allowed to do so. The time mustcome when it takes up its own pattern of growth, new service anddevelopment. Now Earth seeks and is given Her redemption in a vastinitiatory process occurring throughout the total body and life ofthe Solar Father. We who have associated with Earth since Herinception, now look upon this time as one of beauty without measure,joy without comparison."Those forms which still remain within unregenerated aspects ofprimitive and separative expression will be lovingly removed, withrespect for their essential Divine nature, to other areas which havenewly taken on the transmutative function. Now a vast work ofpurification is upon us to cleanse and beautify Earth as one wouldbeautify and enrobe a bride before her marriage; in this fashion wegreet Earth in Her time of great joy and accomplishment. This eventseeks its expression through your hearts and minds and yourdedication."Earth will always remain a place of special strength andcontribution. Now she must progress with Her own evolution morerapidly than she could do if she remained within the service oftransmutation. Because of this, you now see a great flood ofpopulation incarnating in order to take this opportunity forpurification that they may maintain their link with solar evolution;otherwise they must sleep the long sleep to be reawakened in a futuretime in a future land."[ELOUAI, an Angelic Being channeled on 21st June 1970 in 'Links WithSpace', published 1970 by Findhorn Press, Findhorn, Forres, Scotland]Those who continue to fear the possibility of the coming "EarthChanges", should perhaps consider whether in fact our presentcivilization, with its sprawling Human development and pollutionacross the surface, as well as with so much poverty and starvationand constant wars is in fact really so worthy of continuance. Onhigher levels, the Ascension of Humanity and the rejuvenation ofPlanet Earth, regarded as one of the most naturally beautiful planetswithin our Galaxy, is in fact seen as a coming event of great joy.SANAT KUMARA: "The Earth is a beautiful world, vastly more beautifulthan some of its neighbours. I have always loved the Earth beyond allother creations, for I see within it a melody that has not yetescaped into the Ethers. I see it crying as one bound! But it shallnot be deprived its Celestial Song much longer."[The Master SANAT KUMARA, channeled by Brother Philip in Secret ofthe Andes - Leaves of Grass Press, NOVATO California ]The Council of Nine (A high level circle of Great Beings whose roleis to maintain the energy-balances within the Universe):"May we explain to you that your Planet Earth is the most beautifulthat exists in the Universe. It has a physical variety that no otherplanet has. It has a varied climate that no other planet has. In allthe Universe there is no planet in existence that has the physicalcharacteristics of Planet Earth. It is the rarest of beauties, and itdoes attract souls which, once they have come, would like to comeback again."It is of a different nature from any other planet. It has aspects ofall planets: it is like a composite of the Universe, with all thepositive and all the negative aspects, and all in between, and thisis what attracts souls. It has with it a gravitational pull that isdifferent from other planets, and because of this a Soul begins tofeel – for the first time – a physicalness. Souls become adapted totheir physical bodies, and they forget the freedom and pleasures theyhave without it... The planet is a dense planet, and it in turn thengives a different feeling to the body, but it is actually experiencedwithin the Soul of the individual. It feels pain, it feels pleasure,it feels sorrow, it feels happiness. The physical body has differentfeelings than in all the other planets and in all the other Soulsthat exist. In other systems, other galaxies, there are otherphysical Beings that do not have the density of this planet. Here theSoul begins to feel in a different way than it had before, and it hasthe feel of desire. It is pleasure and pain. Yet this has become veryimportant for the evolutionary growth of the Planet, because it wasoriginally the Planet of Balance…""The Earth was created to be a paradise. When souls achieve harmonyit will become a paradise again. But when we say a paradise we speakof a paradise of creativity, one that brings knowledge, one thatbrings joy and love; a paradise in which people may heal themselvesor may even experience pain, if they wish. It is not a paradise whereall challenge, all growth, or all pain will be removed. It will be aparadise where people, through their own experience, may evolve theirown understanding of their connection with the Universe, accept theirown responsibility for themselves, for their fellows, for PlanetEarth, and therefore for the Universe, and may bring all of that,including themselves, into perfection….""This your Planet is a planet of Balance, for you to learn to balancebetween the Physical and Spiritual worlds. Planet Earth is the onlyone of its kind, the only planet of total free choice/free will inthe entire Universe, the only planet created for the balancing of thespiritual with the physical, in other words, the creating ofParadise."Humanity has created corruption within, which came about becausepeople became more involved in physicalness than in attempting tobalance and understand. But now your Planet Earth is at a point whereit may move out of balance quicker than at any other point. This istime for Humanity to begin to understand this, to live on this planetof great beauty with a true balance of spiritual and physical, and tolive in unity with the Creator. Your purpose is to live in truebalance, in manifestation of love, in connection with the Creator, inthat which was created...""It is a time of awakening. It is a time to understand that withinthe self, people hold the key for bringing Planet Earth to itsfulfillment; and that free will is never interfered with; and thedestruction of Planet Earth is not necessary. This must be understoodclearly, for the free will of Humankind can bring fulfillment toPlanet Earth."Planet Earth is on the threshold of transformation. It is on thethreshold of releasing Souls and Beings from bondage, so they maycontinue to elevate, and purify Planet Earth so the Universe maycontinue its path… When the Souls on Earth have finally recognizedtheir reality and understood, they can then be released, and they canprovide teachings and understandings for others in other galaxies andsolar systems in the Universe… It is a glorious time right now tolive on your Planet Earth in physical form."[The Council of Nine channeled by Tom – "The Only Planet of Choice"compiled by Phyllis V. Schlemmer & Palden Jenkins, published 1993 byGateway Books, The Hollies, Wellow, BATH, BA2 8QJ, Britain. ISBN 185860 004 9]Chapter 5:THE HIGHER PLANThe Planetary Being known as Gaia/Mother Earth, having reached acertain point of major change in her development, now awaits herinitiation to the Fifth Dimensional Plane. She is held back only bythe slowness of her surface Humanity to raise its own vibration ratesand consciousness and thereby undertake a joint 'Ascension'. Theresolution of conflict between the various members of Humanity isstill a matter in progress.The Ascended Master, KUT HUMI (Koothumi), a member of Earth'sSpiritual Hierarchy:"To understand why Earth is in its present turmoil, we must flashback in time to the great civilization of Atlantis. Oh Yes; Atlantisreally existed! Not as a figment of science fiction, but as atangible civilization in Earth's past history."Man's purpose in experiencing life anywhere in the Universe is togrow in evolutionary experience and to master each phase in hiseternal life. And how do we master the Third Dimensional environmentof Earth? First, by getting to truly 'know ourselves' - who we are,what we are, why we are here. Second, by learning to control allaspects of this environment. Third, by understanding Earth and itsrelationship to what lies beyond the Third Dimensional environment."In Atlantis, Man had advanced to a remarkable degree of control andunderstanding of this Third Dimensional environment, and was at apoint where he could have led Earth and its inhabitants into theFourth Dimensional experience of physical-spiritual growth. Instead,some who possessed advanced knowledge began to abuse and pervert thisknowledge by enslaving other men, and by misusing their spiritualpowers in various other ways. When this abuse of spiritual powerbecame too widespread, it set into motion certain karmic forces whichresulted in the eventual disintegration and destruction of thecivilization. This destruction did not occur in one giant cataclysm,as may be commonly supposed. Rather, it occurred as a process ofdecline that lasted over thousands of years."During this period of degeneration, the continent of Atlantisgradually broke apart and yielded its major portions to the Atlanticocean. Over a period of time, the inhabitants of this once greatcivilization migrated to various parts of Earth, taking with them theremembered skills and technologies, resulting in the archeologicalwonders that fascinate us today. Modern archeology is for the mostpart at a loss to explain such evidences as still exist in Centraland South America, in England and Egypt and elsewhere around Earth.Eventually the memory of the glorious civilization that once existedfaded entirely, except in the awareness of the Adepts who possessedthe Arcanum, and in the subconscious minds of former Atlanteans."What has all of this to do with the unfolding Divine Plan? Justthis: Atlantis was not the only great civilization that has evolvedon Earth. There have been others lost to antiquity, such as Lemuria.Each time that Mankind has advanced to the level of a Lemuria or anAtlantis, it has had within its reach the opportunity to raiseEarth's level of consciousness to Fourth Dimensional awareness and ithas failed. Each failure was due to the misuse of spiritual powers."In the past, this could be condoned because there was still anotherchance. Now, however, we have reached a point in Earth's history andin Galactic evolution where the transition into Ffourth and FifthDimensional consciousness must be made."Man is now being made aware of certain galactic facts of universal,immortal life. As you know, our Solar System is a part of the MilkyWay Galaxy. Our Solar System revolves around the Great Central Sun ofthe Milky Way Galaxy in an orbit that takes 206 million years, as youcalculate time. Let us refer to this revolution of our Solar Systemaround the Galaxy as the Great Cycle Orbit. Our Solar System wascreated over four and a half billion years ago. This corresponds to22 Great Cycle Orbits of our Solar System around the Great CentralSun of the Galaxy. In the Will of Divine Mind, as communicated to theSpiritual Hierarchy of our Solar System, this completes the timecycle in which our entire Solar System is to remain in its presentstate of evolution. As the Aquarian Age dawns, we begin to move intoa new orbit around the Great Central Sun, and to move into a newvibration where no expression below the Fifth Dimension can continueto exist on Earth."Man first began to experience life in our Solar System 206 millionyears ago, at the beginning of the present Great Cycle Orbit. TheDivine Plan is for all Human life within our Solar System to achieveat least the awareness of Cosmic Consciousness by the end of thisorbit, which is reaching its conclusion now with the end of thePiscean Age. This means that Man of Earth must immediately becomeaware of what Cosmic Consciousness is and take the necessary steps toraise his individual level of consciousness to that state ofawareness. Failure to do so will result in temporary selfdestruction! Man of Earth, in his present state, simply cannottolerate the new incoming vibration."Within this Great Cycle Orbit, there have been a number of lessercycles. When the Atlantean civilization failed to reach itsdevelopment potential, this left only the 26,000 year cycle of theZodiac to complete the Plan. As the present Piscean Age draws to aclose, this 26,000 year cycle, concurrently with the Great CycleOrbit, comes to an end."At this moment, Planet Earth is the only planet in our Solar Systemwhere Man has not yet reached the Cosmic level of awareness. Thislevel of consciousness must now be rapidly attained in order tofulfill the Divine Plan."[The Ascended Master KUT HUMI, channeled by Joseph Whitfield in 'TheTreasure of El Dorado', published 1977 by Treasure Publications, P.O.Box 3300, Roanoke, Virginia 24015-1300, USA.

It isstepping into a higher rate of vibration. You are going from a ThirdDensity, through the Fourth to a Fifth Density world. This mustnecessarily take place as you pass through the heart of thegreat 'Cosmic Cloud' [Photon Belt].

Box 10, Pioneer, Tennessee 37847,USA ]Planet Earth is destined at the commencement of the Aquarian 'NewAge' at the end of the year 2012 to move up to the Fifth-Dimension.We will then be on the same plane as our neighboring planets withinour Solar System, no longer separated from them throughthe "quarantine" of our present surrounding "Veil" of limitedconsciousness. We shall regain our Full Consciousness, seeing lifefrom a much more objective standpoint. We shall not only be able tofully communicate with our neighboring planets and other higherspiritual worlds, but be able to review the experiences of our pastlives from the great storehouse of knowledge imprinted on thecelestial ethers known as the Akashic Records, and also see futureprobabilities to come within our life line.The Master RAMALA: "The great Beings who govern matter through theirknowledge of Infinite Law are trying to quicken the vibration of theEarth, to bring into operation a quicker and a higher frequency. Inso doing there is what appears to Man to be confusion and disruption,for he is held between the sluggishness of his own body, caused byhis past behaviour, and the attempt by the Lords of the Planet tobring him into a higher frequency of consciousness"These Great Beings are intervening so that Man shall not bedestroyed, for within his body there is the great atomic structure ofthe Cosmos, and in his sluggishness, when that moment arrives, and itwill, when the Earth uprights on its axis, if this outer quickeninghad not been put into motion, then the atomic structure of which Manis built would explode, because the force of the uprighting willbring into operation a great atomic expansion of the Planet."I will not go into the molecular structure and describe thebehaviour of the atoms at that moment of change, but due to changesin pressure there will be a great transformation of the Earth'sstructure. There will be great devastation all over the Earth. Ithas, of course, happened before. You may read in the literature ofancient Man, and in the Bible, of similar occurrences."The cataclysm, which you would call a catastrophe, is really not acatastrophe: it is a step forward in the evolution of the Earth.Remember, that to die is not a finality, and that those who do die inthe cataclysm to come will experience an increase in theirconsciousness, for in that moment of death they will learn."Leading up to this event there will be much disharmony anddestruction as the vibratory rate of the Earth is quickened. Thiswill occur before the great uprighting of the Earth on its axis whichwill take place around the new Millenium.""To you, perhaps, the concept of Armageddon is frightening. Itsignifies the release of energies beyond the control of Humanity, butif Humanity did but know it, it rarely controls its own environment.Because of its great intellectual progress Humanity has been led intobelieving that it is the master of its fate, that it is the master ofthe physical World, that Humanity alone decides the path on which itwalks. But those of you who are aware of the God in all things, whorecognize that the Divine Plan alone manifests on this Earth, know inyour heart that the Cycle which is now beginning was planned aeons oftime ago. It has been seen on other levels and has been prophesied bymany Beings. It is a necessary path of evolution for this Earth. Youare here, therefore, as witnesses to that path of evolution. Withinyour innermost Being is the knowledge of what is to come. It may notbe with you on a conscious level, on a level which you can pull downinto everyday physical reality, but within your heart is theknowledge of what is to come and the part that you must play in it."[The Master RAMALA, channeled by the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury.]Chapter 6:TIME FOR CHOICEThe 'Day of Judgment' is traditionally a time at the end of aparticular phase of planetary evolution when an assessment of eachand every Soul's attainment is made to determine those who are ableto join the move up to a higher plane, and those who must start againelsewhere at the beginning of that phase in order to re-attempt thelessons they have failed to master.There are practical reasons for this assessment. Those whosevibration rates are below a certain level, reflecting a lack ofevolutionary progress, will not be able to make the transition to thehigher vibrational dimensions; they would find the intensevibrational light-energy of the Higher Spheres too painful. Theywould also no longer have the opportunity to express the many lowerinstincts and emotions which they have not as yet fully mastered, norwould they feel at all at home in such an elevated world of refinedsensibilities.All the Masters and Guides communicating at this time thereforestress the present urgency for us to resolve all our past hates andhurts as soon as possible. This we must do whilst we still have theopportunity left within the remaining testing environment of thedense Earth physical plane. This dense physical plane will soon nolonger be a part of Planet Earth, and it is only at this very basiclevel that we can make rapid progress in resolving and transmutingpast karma. By contrast, when we reside on the higher spiritualplanes, we live in such a relatively perfect and peaceful environmentthat many of the more backward characteristics within our Soul do notsurface or show up, making it much more difficult to reform orresolve them. If on the other hand, we do manage to tackle and masterthose tests we set ourselves down on Earth within the short time-frame left before the Earth Changes, we shall have thus made one ofthe greatest advances in our millions of years of evolutionarydevelopment.For those whose destiny unfortunately hangs in the balance, betweenAscension and starting over again on the bottom rung of the ladder ofEvolution, an eleventh-hour special effort to reform our inherentfaults may yet turn the scales. This time of Tribulation is thetraditional 'Dividing of the Ways', the 'sorting of the wheat fromthe chaff'. Especially on this Planet, endowed as we are with a fullexpression of free will, every individual has the opportunity to makethose significant choices moment by moment. Indeed in this presentperiod of final resolution, the many opportunities will be multipliedand magnified by the increased Light-force energies now being beameddown to Earth by the Spiritual Hierarchy.The Master HILARION, an Ascended Master from Planet Earth and amember of Earth's Planetary Hierarchy, makes this comment onthe 'Tribulation' and the opportunities for Mankind:"The Tribulation that has been planned for many thousands of years isdescending upon the Earth. It will be recognized early by some whohave remained aware of the Higher truths, but most will fail to seethat the Last Days are upon them until near the end of the time oftrial."We have previously spoken of the arrangement for Humanity by whichrebirth and karma were to allow individual souls to learn the mainspiritual lessons and to settle the debts incurred when that learningprocess led to the harming of others. It was thought at first thatthis great Plan would permit virtually all of Mankind to achieve thebasic goal, which was to escape by its own efforts from the wheel ofrebirth and the karmic necessity."But this hope was not realized. The temptation of Man's own basenature and the whisperings of the forces dedicated to his destructionproved, again and again, too strong for many souls whose resolve andwhose spiritual sight were not sufficiently developed."For this reason a new Plan was devised in order to allow for allthose whose steps had faltered, a final chance to gain the goal thathad been set for Man. This Plan was laid some twelve thousand yearsbefore the present, at about the time that the great continent ofAtlantis sank to its final destruction beneath the waves of theAtlantic Ocean. All of the details of the new Plan were carefullyworked out at its inception and have not been changed in anyimportant degree since that time."One of the most important components of the 'Tribulation' was thenecessity that all those who appeared unlikely to have reached therequired level by the end of the rebirth arrangement were to be giventhe chance to make the right choice during the period in question. Atthe inception of the plan for the Tribulation, it was not known andcould not be foreseen exactly how many souls this necessity wouldapply to. But as the millennia passed and the time draws near, itbecame clear that a number in excess of four billion souls wouldrequire this last desperate chance to succeed where before they hadfailed."Prior to the passage of the Earth through the 'cloud' in space, asign will appear in the sky, to indicate to those who have realizedthe truth, that the last days have come. This is the sign of the Sonof Man spoken of in the Scriptures. Those who fail to understand andheed the meaning of the signs in the Heavens will not be able toescape the final, dreadful weeks and months of the Tribulation by asubsequent change of heart. All of those who earnestly and with thewhole heart change their old sinful ways and take up the cross ofservice and dedication to their fellow man will become entitled towhat the Scriptures call the 'Rapture'."The Rapture is essentially an escape from the horrors of theTribulation, to a place of safety where those who have assembledthere can work and learn in order to prepare themselves for the greattask of reconstruction which will begin literally minutes after theDay of Wrath has terminated."[The Master HILARION, channeled by Maurice B. Cooke in 'The Nature ofReality'. First published 1979. Marcus Books, Box 942 Bradford ,Ontario L3Z 2B4 - Canada – Tel: (905) 551-1661 -chris.rieder@rogers.com - www.hilarionbooks.com ]This theme is repeated by the Master EFI of Mars:"Now for this day are they being prepared, when each and every oneshall be put into another place, that which is prepared for them.Some shall be freed from all darkness; these shall be free to go andcome throughout the Galaxy, and they shall know no barrier. Othersshall be put into a place wherein they shall till the soil with theirbare hands; they shall have no implements, they shall have no tools,no machines. They shall have no memory of their past, of theirscience or of their fortune of the past. Such shall be the destiny ofthem which betray themselves."[The Master EFI of Mars, channeled by Sister Thedra in "Propheciesfor Tiahunaco" -The Association of Sananda and Sanat Kumara, Sedona,Arizona, USA ]Those who fail to reach a point of being able to Ascend to a higherplane at this "End Cycle " of Resolution and Self-judgment, willthemselves recognise the need to start over again on another Third-Dimensional planet in some other solar system which will still havefacilities for such living. Particularly heartless and destructivesouls may even find that their soul/spirit requires a return to a yetlower level, to start again in a Second-Dimensional world within theMineral Kingdom. This is not a punishment, it is simply an objectivereflection by your Higher Spirit/Soul of the fact that your lowerpersonality-self would not be able to function at the new highervibration rates. These Souls would find that they need once again tostart over again and learn to become less ego-centered, to rise abovethe narrow view of self-interest and the unbalance of taking fromothers of that which has not been earned or is rightfully theirs.They have to learn to keep a karmaic balance by giving the same inreturn as they have received from others. Through keeping a properbalance between giving and receiving, they will come to learn all thejoys of living in a peaceful and cooperative world, the greatbenefits derived from the respecting and caring for others, oflearning to express unconditional love to all other life forms.The CHRIST:"Whatever form the healing of the Human world takes during these nextfew years, know that it is for the good of all. Do not be concernedwith the fate of those who reject my Spirit. Their story is far fromover. I am caring for each one in the manner of his or her greatestneed. The Human world is in good hands. When you and much of Earth'spresent biological life have been sprinkled throughout the stars, andthe oceans have changed places with the land, after the poles haveshifted and new mountains have come to look over the plains, thenwill the truly slow-learners be recalled from the Mineral Realmswhere they shall slumber, to learn of intelligence again, and to comeagain to choose between love and fear."[The CHRIST, channeled by Ken Carey in "Vision" - Harper SanFrancisco ]The time of Tribulation is a Parting of the Ways. Those who choose todo so should make a personal assessment of their conduct towardsothers. The temptations of pursuing a course of exclusive self-interest have been magnified over the ages by the Forces of Darknesswho have constantly wished to delay or prevent our spiritualprogress.The Master ZEN TAO: "It is inevitable, at such a critical time in theEarth's evolution, that the Forces of Darkness should be present justas much as the Forces of Light. The Forces of Darkness would likenothing better at this time than to subvert the path of the AquarianCycle, for this Cycle is destined to be the greatest Cycle inHumanity's evolutionary path."For every side or opinion that is present there will be another sideor opinion to oppose it. This therefore requires that you exercisethe great gift of discrimination. It is how you choose, and yourmotivation for choosing, that in essence represents the sorting ofthe 'wheat from the chaff'. There will be many who will follow thepath of evil, but remember that you can walk to the gates of Hell andstill turn back. You follow a path only for as long as you wish to.There will be much suffering in the World but no more than Humanitycan bear and understand. Many, for instance, will not be touched bythe plagues that are predicted to come."[The Master ZEN TAO, channeled by the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury. ]Clearly one of the predicted 'Plagues' testing Humanity at this timeis the disease now known as 'Aids'. It is almost unique in that, withfew and rare exceptions, it can either be contracted or avoided byone's own 'conscious' action:The Master ZEN TAO: "Aids is the first of the seven plagues fromwhich Humanity will suffer. Now you must understand that the purposeof disease is not to punish: it is to bring about transformation.Disease is a great tool of evolution and all disease should be seenin this way. Aids, of course, is a disease which is usuallytransmitted sexually. The greatest disease of the Human Race today isits abuse of sexuality. With Aids, therefore, you have a diseasewhich demands sexual responsibility. Aids can be likened to a genetictime bomb, because ultimately only the pure in body, mind and spiritwill survive it."The sexual act should not be regarded as an act of self-centeredpleasure, but rather as an act of Cosmic creation. If you live a lifeof sexual purity you will not be touched by Aids. If you are pure inbody, mind and spirit you will not be touched by much of what is towalk the face of this Earth. This is indeed the beginning of thesorting of the 'wheat from the chaff'. It would be true to say thatin the New Age it will only be the pure of spirit, the pure of mindand the pure of body that will inherit the Earth."[The Master ZEN TAO, channeled by the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury.]It often seems at this present time that discipline in personalconduct is frowned upon. Yet it is perhaps now, as never before, thatwe should once again be guided by, and make every attempt to follow,the traditional old-fashioned ideals of 'Right Conduct', not only intreating our own bodies correctly, but of respecting the rights ofothers and the environment."And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be soovercharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life,and that day comes upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come onall them that dwell on the face of the whole Earth. Watch yetherefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy toescape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand beforethe Son of man." Luke 21: 34-36While 'surfeiting and drunkenness' are clearly to be avoided by thosegenuinely seeking to follow higher principles of conduct, there aremore subtle ways in which we should seek self-improvement. Inour 'civilized' world during recent times, the aggression used bythose who are self-seekers has become subtler; but it remainsaggression nonetheless:The CHRIST: "Survival into the Third Millennium is reserved for thespiritually fit. The key to survival is not competition, butcooperation. Spiritual fitness is not aggression, it is fitting inwith the purposes of the Earth and with the purposes of her Creatoras these larger purposes blend in human exchange."[The CHRIST, channeled by Ken Carey in Vision - Harper San Francisco ]At this important time of self-examination, the Ascended Master SAINTGERMAIN, a member of Earth's Hierarchy, recommends the practice ofmeditation (or communing within yourself), through which one candevelop a mental calm and an openness to communication from one'sHigher Self:"I would like to suggest that meditation is very important for you atthis time. Meditation is how you will gain mastery, the self-masteryand the focus that is required to go into your next phase. Meditationis how you will create the space between your limited Ego-Self andyour deeper expression. You will put a little bit of distance betweenyou and the Ego so that your reactions will not be so automatic withregard to responding to negativity. All of you are experiencing muchof the density of the Earth in your daily life. But, if you canmeditate you will not feel the effect of it in the same way. You willhave more of an overview, so that when those emanations orimpressions come to you, you can choose consciously and wisely ineach moment how to respond."[The Master ST. GERMAIN, channeled by Eric Klein in "The Inner Door",Vol.2 - Oughten House Publications]Meditation, however, is not necessarily something that requires a lotof intense training, or sitting for hours in the 'lotus position'.The Masters have stressed that there are over a thousanddifferent 'paths' to meditation, and that one can just aseasily 'meditate' by simply walking and thinking within the quietsurroundings of Nature. Essentially, one is looking 'inward' in orderto contact the inner voice or Higher Self, wherein, it is said, allthe wisdom of the Universe is available.The Master SAINT GERMAIN also stresses the importance of forgiveness.The significance of forgiveness is that in forgiving an insult or anact of aggression, the momentum of the act is thereby nullified; whenwe fail to forgive we perpetuate the act through a continuing streamof vengeance, so its evil effects are 'passed on', propagated andnurtured. Through forgiveness the totality of evil in the world canbe progressively diminished."By forgiveness you can avoid the creation of any more negativity.You can 'let the buck stop' where it is, instead of passing it on asso many have done for so long in this world."When someone expresses anger towards you, the tendency of the Ego isto respond in the same way. And even if your Ego is not at thatmoment responding in the same way to that particular person, perhapsit will await a perfect opportunity to respond that way to another,in an attempt to clear itself of these impressions. This is why thenegativity on the Earth has become so dense. Humanity has continuedto pass it around, to propagate it, so to speak. And the goal ofMastery is, of course, to master this. Master your own creations andemanations so that what comes through you is love, so that what comesthrough you is that Divine presence that you are. And that claritywhich gives you wisdom to deal with situations, to defuse thereactionary elements of Human life."[The Master ST. GERMAIN, channeled by Eric Klein in The Inner Door,Vol.2 - Oughten House Publications]An underlying theme pervading all the warnings of the coming 'Day ofJudgment' and the accompanying messages of counsel, emphasizes theneed to seek a return to a balance and harmony in our lives,particularly in our relationships with other Humans, with animals,plants and the natural environment as a whole. We must also developan in-tunement and sense of balance and harmony in the relationshipsbetween our 'two' Selves, our Earthly Self and our Higher Self. Wehave to live in a manner which causes no conflict with the 'ideal' asseen by our Higher Spiritual Self. This will help us to by-passthe 'Tribulations' to come.The Master RAMALA: "If you yourself are living in balance andharmony, you can survive any physical challenge. Though you work in aroom full of diseased people, you will not be touched by any disease.Though you are shot at by many guns, you will not be hit. Though youare thrown into the sea when a ship sinks and many drown, you will besaved. For those who live in peace, that is, obeying God's NaturalOrder, there is total protection. Those who follow God's NaturalOrder will find their own lives in order. For those who trust intheir Creator, there can be no fear."[The Master RAMALA, channeled by the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury .]The Master P'TAAH: "You see, dear one, if you are not in fear of whatis to come, and know that you live in a perfectly safe universe, itis merely to live constantly in the 'moment of joy'. To know that youwill, of course, be safe, that you will survive. It is your reality.You create it. If you are living in an area, for instance, which maybe subject to a very sudden Earth change, and you are living in joy,and not in fear, then on that day, beloved, you will be away visitingyour Mother. You see, it is you who create the reality."[The Master P'TAAH of the Pleiades, channeled by Jani King in TheP'taah Tapes: Transformation of the Species - Triad Publishers Pty.Ltd., Cairns, Queensland, Australia ]Chapter 7:THE FLYING SAUCER CONNECTIONMany unfamiliar with the predictions of Earth Changes may nonethelessbe aware of the much reported UFO/ 'flying saucer' activity aroundEarth. Even though Governments continue to cover up and deny theexistence of UFOs, opinion surveys report that in the USA over halfthe population believe they exist, with over 10,000 UFO sightings areannually reported around other parts of the world. In addition, inrecent decades over 10,000 "Crop Circles" of amazingly intricatedesigns have mysteriously appeared overnight in fields of cerealcrops and been recorded on film.All of this UFO activity has three main purposes. One is an on-goingprogram by our Space Brothers of monitoring and taking action wherenecessary to preserve peace and stability within our Solar System.The second is related to the nuclear threat of the post World War IIperiod. The third, and most important of their ongoing programs,relates to preparations for the Ascension of Humanity and thecoming "Earth Changes" of the New Age.Most of these interplanetary visitors are Members of a "GalacticFederation of Light" composed of the various solar systems within ourMilky Way Galaxy that all follow the "Path of Light". These followersof the Path of Light have been in constant opposition over millionsof years with the "Anchara Alliance", followers of the "Path ofDarkness", non-loving, negative and destructive beings dedicated todominating and controlling others. As a result there have been manymajor Galactic Wars between the Forces of Light and the Forces ofDarkness. Now that we are approaching a major End-of-Age cycle thissituation is changing and we are all stepping up to a new era oftotal Galactic Peace. Many of the previously opposing Forces ofDarkness, having realised that they are on the losing side ofevolution, are now joining up with the Forces of Light. They now seethis as their last chance of redemption before being forced to startevolution all over again at the most primitive of levels. Thereforemembership of the Galactic Federation of Light has recently increasedfrom 100,000 members to over a total of 200,000 participating worlds.Beyond our own Galaxy, there is a large organization of Galaxies whoalso follow the Path of Light, known as the "Intergalactic Union ofFree Worlds". The function of this Organization is to coordinate andpeacefully regulate affairs between the various Galaxies, Planets,and Solar Systems, and generally to uphold the Universal Lawthroughout our whole Universe. The MilkyWay's Galactic Federation islocally represented within our Solar System by another bodycalled "The Interplanetary Federation of Planets'. This local SolarSystem Interplanetary Council convenes on the Planet Saturn withrepresentatives drawn from all the other inhabited planets of ourSolar System. Up to now, Planet Earth has not had its own native-bornThird-Dimension Earthly Representative, and so until Earth has madeits Ascension to the higher dimension and is able to join on aconscious level with the whole of our Solar System Federation,Commander Monka of the Ashtar Space Command has been appointed on ourbehalf to represent us at their Council Meetings.Within our Solar System, we have a local protective force namedthe "Ashtar Command", an enormous Fleet of interplanetary space crafton station watching over us and protecting us during our time ofpreparation for Ascension. They are answerable directly to theGalactic Federation and to our own Earth Spiritual Hierarchy andtheir fleet personnel are made up of participants from many otherSolar Systems within our Galaxy and Universe. The Ashtar Command'sfirst responsibility is of protecting us from any outsideinterference or intrusion by Alien spacecraft of the remaining Forcesof Darkness. They also have the function of assisting us to evacuateEarth when the great planetary "Changes" finally begin. This greatInterplanetary Fleet is composed of over 100,000 Mother Shipsstationed within our Solar System and with over 150-200 millionCosmic personnel watching over us. They function on the Fifth-Dimension level and are therefore not visible to our physical Third-Dimension sight. This Force is led by its Commander, Ashtar, a highlyevolved soul who is well-known throughout the Universe as a staunchprotector of freedom. He is described as being of a strict andupright military bearing and an important member of many Universal,Galactic and Intergalactic Councils. His own directly led personnelnumber about 20 million, and there are also over 4 million SpaceBeings working down on Earth's surface to unobtrusively assist us.The Ashtar Command has its Headquarters on one of the large 'City'mother-ships, the "Shan Chea". This Mother Ship is over 26 miles/42kmlong, 8 miles/13km wide and 5 miles/8km high, with 12 major deckareas, with further Mezzanines each of 40ft/12m height. One of themiddle deck areas is high enough to have its own artificial "sky" andminiature "Sun", with green countryside, lakes and gardens below forrelaxation and recreational use. The Mothership is too large toapproach us closely, as its great size could adversely affect themagnetic balance of Earth's orbit. This Ship, like the hundreds ofother large Mother Ships within the Ashtar Fleet, therefore has manysmaller shuttle or "Scout Craft" on board which are able to approachus more closely. These are regularly used to monitor our surface andatmospheric conditions, correct geological inbalances such aspotential earthquakes, or else be used to evacuate us during themajor physical Earth changes. They are able to make themselves fullyvisible to our physical eyesight when needed through temporarilylowering their own vibration rates down to our Third-Dimensionallevel. Up to now, they have not been permitted to reveal themselvesuntil the time is correct for Earth Humans' final Ascension. Thus,when the major Earth Changes do arrive, we shall then see a greatArmada of millions of Scout Ships descending from the sky to evacuateus. We will be evacuated either to the safety of the Mother Shipsoverhead, or else taken to the "Inner Earth" Argharthian Civilizationwhere alternative habitations have been prepared for the duration ofEarth's surface cleansing.Commander ASHTAR gives this 'overview' of the Ashtar Command and itswork:"There are millions of craft operating in this Solar System at alltimes and many, many of these belong to the Ashtar Command. Some arestationed far above your Planet and are more or less stationary forlong periods of time, keeping track of the Earth on their monitoringsystems. Others move about, discharging their various duties. We havesmall scout craft doing surveying activities and we have larger craftwith extended range that are capable of operating in space and whichvisit planets in other solar systems."We also have what you know as 'Mother Ships' or 'mother craft', withmany smaller craft coming and going from the Mother Ship. There isthus a great deal of activity in what Earthlings think of as emptyspace."Our purpose is service, and we go where we are needed anywhere inthis Sector of the Galaxy. Our Headquarters is on one of the largestof the Mother Craft, and orders and instructions come from thisCraft. It is a city in itself. Most of our people are natives of oneor another of the Planets within this Solar System, but also we dohave those working with us from other solar systems. Our workers dovisit their home Planets at various times on what you might callvacations. Most of us have worked together for a very long time; weare a well-knit Confederation and feel that we are an effective one."[Commander ASHTAR, channeled by Gladys Rodehaver and quotedin "Ashtar: A Tribute" - compiled by Tuella, Guardian ActionPublications. The full text of "ASHTAR - A Tribute" can be read ordownloaded from the link at the end of Book II]We also have to be aware, however, that not all 'Space Ships' makingcontact with Earth come as representatives of the Galactic Federationof Light. Commander KORTON of the Ashtar Command, explains:"There are those who do come, who are not from this Allegiance andwho have no part in it. They come as observers and for their ownends. They are often highly scientific geniuses, and their materialto their contacts can be highly impressive - indeed, almost alwaysis. But they have come for the purpose of collecting data for theirpersonal ends and not to give of themselves for the good of thePlanet. These are not necessarily what you would call the "DarkForces", which is yet of another deeper allegiance."Now the so-called "Dark Forces" (a balancing agent in the Cosmos)are those of our own Galaxy who are still openly opposed to theBrotherhood of Light, its principles and standards and goals formankind and the Planet Earth. They would seize the Planet if thatwere possible, to control it for their own purposes, which woulddestroy the freedom of Man. Commander Ashtar has been one of the moststaunch defenders of the freedom of Man and his inherent right tochoose, to decide to fashion his own embodiment, without outsidepressures put upon him."The bands of renegades that patrol the terrestrial realms areimmediately dispatched to their proper level when overtaken intrespassing activities within this Solar System. The Fleets of theHeavenly Commands are prompt to transport such intruders in masterlyfashion."[Commander KORTON, channeled by Tuella, in "Ashtar: A Tribute" -Guardian Action Publications. The full text of "ASHTAR - A Tribute"can be read or downloaded from the link at the end of Book II]As a further and important example of its work, the GalacticFederation has since the end of World War II been greatly concernedfor the safety of Planet Earth, more so from our own internallycreated threat than an outside one.The development of Earth's experimentation and use of nuclear energyafter World War II caused grave concern throughout the Galaxy. Thisnuclear danger was a major reason why our Planet began to experienceso many UFO visitations during the early 1950s. The inhabitants ofother Solar Systems were greatly concerned at this new and da(Message over 64k, truncated.)
