LIGHT AND LIFE VISION


THE FATE OF NATIONS
As revealed to Marshall Vian Summers
on April 17, 2007 in Istanbul, Turkey

This is part of the New Message for the World regarding the fate of nations and peoples and the great calling that is now sounding for humanity.

The peoples and the nations of the world are entering a time of grave difficulty and change. The world’s resources are declining. Populations are growing. And as this occurs, there will be continued competition and the grave danger of conflict and war. Here ancient animosities will be aroused. Prejudices will be played upon and used by those who are ambitious within both governments and religious institutions. Human weakness will be preyed upon, and fear will be pervasive.

It is because of this great threshold that a New Message from God has been sent into the world for the protection and advancement of humanity. In order to understand the greatness of this Message and its relevance to your time, you must come to understand and recognize those great changes that are now threatening the human family—threatening to send it into decline, threatening to ruin the great accomplishments of civilization, threatening to undermine the well-being and survival of people everywhere.

Here politics and even religion itself will be used as weapons of war, as a leverage to separate people and to pit them against one another in a great conflict, not over ideology, but over the resources of the world.

Here the conflict will be masked. It will be clothed in the disguise of politics and religion, but in essence it is a competition for resources. It is a conflict over access and distribution of resources. Humanity now faces great danger as it begins to encounter a world in decline—a world whose environments have been degraded, a world whose climate has been affected, a world whose life-sustaining resources are being depleted and ruined by human ignorance and human greed. It is for this reason that a New Message from God has been sent into the world.

To recognize the New Message and to understand its source and its meaning for this time, this time of Revelation, you must come to recognize the predicament that humanity is now entering and that it is already facing in so many places. You will not be able to appreciate the New Message from God unless you can face these realities, unless you can recognize these conditions and unless you can see that without a greater Message from the Source of all life, humanity’s possibility to navigate these difficult times is very small. The possibility for humanity to avoid ongoing war, conflict and degradation is very small. The promise for humanity to begin a greater future, a future that will be unlike the past, will be very small. The odds against humanity’s success now are so significant that there must be a New Message from God. You must see the New Message within this context or you will not understand the time of Revelation in which you live. You will not understand.

To those who will be tempted to take up the sword in the name of religion or political advantage: You must recognize that your thoughts, your intent and your actions go against God’s will for humanity. They are in violation of what God intends for humanity. For God intends for humanity to become united and self-sufficient within a Universe full of intelligent life. Even at this moment, there are other powers beyond this world who are awaiting humanity’s failure, awaiting the opportunity to intervene in order to take advantage of a weak and conflicted humanity.

If you cannot see this or cannot accept this, then you do not understand humanity’s great predicament at this time. You do not understand the travail that is now upon the human family. And you will not see the great danger, the Greater Darkness that now lurks in the world, a darkness that is born of intervention from beyond and a darkness that is born of human ignorance, greed, competition, conflict and war.

To you who would take up the sword in the name of religion or political advantage: You must realize that you are violating God’s will for humanity. And though the Creator will not punish you, you will within yourself step away from the Knowledge of God within yourself. You will cast yourself into darkness and confusion. And you will lead your peoples and your nation into conflict, desolation and ruin. For you are beyond the time in which one nation can simply profit from the decline of another, for the whole world is now at stake.

If you would take up the sword in the name of religion or political advantage, you will violate God’s Plan for humanity. Though God will not punish you directly, you will separate yourself and turn away from the Knowledge of God that is within you, that God has placed within you for your own protection and redemption. And you will cast yourself into chaos and conflict, into rage and misery, and bring ruin and desolation to your people.

This is a great risk, and this will be the great temptation of humanity: for people to exercise their grievances against one another, to exercise their ancient animosities, for nations to begin to compete and enter into conflict with other nations, believing it is for the well-being of their nation or for the will of God. But you are deceived. You are in error. You are violating God’s Will and Plan for humanity. Though God will not punish you directly, you will separate yourself from God’s Wisdom and God’s Will. You will enter into confusion and darkness, into grievance and ultimately into despair.

Take heed, then, the nations of the world, the leaders of the world and the citizens of the world. Heed these words, for they come from the Divine Will and Presence, and they represent the Knowledge that has been placed within you to guide and to protect you. This is the same Knowledge that is here to guide and protect all of humanity.

This is why the Messenger has been sent into the world—to bring this New Message of hope, this Message of restitution and resolution, to the human family at this time of great travail. For you are entering a time of great travail. You are just beginning the time in which the great wars and the great conflicts can emerge. The embers for these wars are already glowing. The intent for these wars is already alive in the minds and hearts of many people. And the conditions for these conflicts and wars are upon you.

Here humanity has its one great chance to unite in its own defense and for its own preservation—both within the world and in the face of a Greater Community of life in the Universe, where freedom is unknown and humanity’s value is not recognized, save by but a few.

Those who would take up the sword in the name of God or for political advantage will have failed their mission and calling in life, and they will lead others to failure as well. Within this failure, there will be no peace and no resolution, for they will have denied the Knowledge of God within themselves. They will have denied the Plan of the Creator for humanity. They will have turned themselves against the greater wisdom that God has placed within them and within all hearts. They will have, through ignorance and arrogance and vanity, destroyed their great opportunity to make a real contribution to their people, to their nation and to the world.

Take heed, then, of this warning. It carries with it the gravest of consequences and the greatest of meaning. The complete meaning of this warning is beyond your comprehension, and yet what it has to say to you will be clear, simple and easy for you to understand.

Beware, the leaders of nations and the leaders of religion. Beware if you seek to hurt or conquer another nation for your own advantage or to express your grievance or your ancient animosities. Be aware that you are casting yourself into the darkness and into confusion and misery, and you will bring desolation, destitution and ruin upon your peoples as a result. And be aware, the average citizen, that you too have a responsibility to follow the wisdom and Knowledge that God has placed within you, to discover this wisdom and Knowledge and not to violate it because of anger or revenge, rage or greed. You too have a responsibility, for the outcome is not simply up to the leaders of the nations and the religions. It is ultimately up to every person.

Take heed, then, of this great warning. This warning is born of the love of God, but it is a warning nonetheless. It is warning you against the great possibility for error. It is advising you to turn to the Knowledge of God that lives within you—beyond your thinking mind and beyond the ideas, concepts and beliefs that have been historically established within humanity. For there is a moral and ethical foundation to your existence. Should you violate this, you will suffer the consequences, not because God is punishing you, but because you are punishing yourself, because you have turned away from what God has placed within you and because, out of arrogance, ignorance and vanity, you have given yourself authority to override what God has placed within you.

Be aware of the great danger for you individually, for your people, your nation and the world, for the great time of trial and tribulation is upon you. How humanity will respond, both its leaders and its citizens, will make all the difference in the outcome. The power of decision here is with you. God’s Will is clear—God is preparing humanity for its encounter with life in the Universe. This is clear and is presented in the New Message.

Yet in order for you to reap the great rewards of the New Message, in order for you to prepare yourself for a future that will be unlike the past, in order for you to avoid calamity and disaster, you must take heed. You must stop. You must restrain your anger and your passions. You must withhold your judgments of others. You must consider the wisdom of your thoughts and actions and their consequences for the future.

Be prepared, for great and difficult times are upon you. They are a product of human ignorance and human abuse of the world. They are the product of humanity’s lack of vision and its lack of preparation for the future. It will be the responsibility of all nations and leaders to provide for their people adequately in the times to come, but this will become ever more difficult and challenging. The rich will have to take care of the poor. And the poor will have to take care of one another. There will have to be greater service to humanity and greater selflessness under these difficult conditions. For humanity has pillaged the Earth to such an extent that it can barely sustain the human family. The conditions and the circumstances of your life, whether you be rich or poor, no matter what nation you live in, will now press these needs upon you.

Be aware that this great difficulty has called the New Message from God into the world and God’s Messenger has been sent into the world to give this Message, to elucidate it and to be its primary focus and vehicle of expression. Do not judge and condemn the Messenger lest you judge and condemn what God has placed within you. For though the Messenger is human and fallible, he brings with him a Message that is beyond human invention and that is without error, conflict and contradiction.

Receive this Message from God. Consider it in light of the world you see and the world you know. Think of the history of humanity and its great battles, its great conquests, and how utterly destructive this has been—that so many people should sacrifice in order that a few may enrich themselves. Consider now that this cannot proceed into the future lest the entire human family enter a state of permanent decline, lest you make yourself vulnerable to intervention and invasion from forces from beyond the world, who even now are planning to take advantage of humanity’s conflicts and dissolution.

To know yourself is to know God’s Presence in your life, to know that God has placed a deeper Knowledge within you to guide and to protect you and to override your self-destructive tendencies and your selfish pursuits. To know yourself is to know what God has placed within you—not to understand it intellectually, but to know of its reality, to experience its presence and to follow its direction.

As uncertainty, anxiety and competition increase in the world, you will need this guidance now more than ever before. For the institutions and the comforts that you have perhaps benefited from may not be there for you in the future. The assurances and the security that were provided for you, to whatever extent they were, may not be there for you in the future. So how will you know how to be secure? How will you know what to do in the face of uncertainty and change? God’s answer is within you. To remind you of this, God has brought a New Message into the world and has sent its Messenger into the world.

You do not know enough yet to question this or to dispute it, for do so is merely an expression of your ignorance, arrogance and vanity. You must consider the New Message. You must hear the Messenger to know, to see and to understand. For on your own, without the great endowment of Knowledge, you will not be able to see, to know and to understand. Your behavior will be determined by others. And you will follow fear and not wisdom in your approach.

Given the great danger and the great risks ahead, perhaps you can begin to see the light that has been brought into the world in the face of a Greater Darkness that is growing over the horizon.

Receive this warning then as a gift of love. Receive it as a consolation and a confirmation that what you most deeply feel is true, that humanity is facing great peril now—conflict from within and intervention from without. Have the courage to face this. Have the honesty to recognize it. Have the sobriety to consider it without trying to make it what you want it to be or what you think it is.

This is your responsibility. This is the calling of your time. It is a time of Revelation, and the Revelation is upon you.

 



PATHS TO WORLD GOVERNMENT
by Donald M. Ware, Ft Walton Beach, FL
June 25, 1996
 


Introduction

Donald Ware received a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Duke University in 1957 and an MS in Nuclear Engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology in 1970. He retired from the U.S. Air Force at the end of 1982 with wide experience as a fighter pilot, staff scientist, teacher, test manager, and programs manager. He has observed alien vehicles nine times starting with the famous sighting over Washington D.C. on 26 Jul 52. He and his human companions initiated two of these encounters. Since 1989 he has received guidance from some higher intelligence, often through other people with more highly developed paranormal abilities.

Since retirement Ware has spent most of his time studying the persistent mysteries of mankind: to gain insight into the larger reality that UFOs represent. In this process he developed and currently gives lectures on: UFOs and Human/Alien Interaction; The Long-term Government Covert Educational Program on UFOS; Telepathic Communications and UFO Phenomena; and How a Fighter Pilot, Staff Scientist, and UFO Investigator Became a Lightworker. He is currently on the board of the International UFO Congress.

Opening Thoughts

I am not an expert on world government. However, since January 1994 I have focused my studies on that subject. I have found that we are all spiritual beings with both physical bodies and energy bodies that I refer to as mental, emotional and spiritual. I have learned that some higher intelligence has been interacting with humans for thousands of years. When that higher intelligence is in a non-human physical form we call it an alien. Otherwise we might call it God or an angel or a spirit guide. They might meet us in our dreams or otherwise inspire our thoughts and actions. They have reasons for doing what they do that are probably far beyond our understanding. I have seen evidence that suggests that they knew long ago that some day we would be ready to join their galactic society. For many of us that day seems to have already arrived. But, before the whole planet can officially join the galactic society we must have a democratically elected government that can speak for all of the people, a world government.

I know there is a transformation taking place on this planet. I know many individuals who are involved in alien contact for various reasons. I suspect that many people with the resources to bring about great change are also involved in alien contact, either physically or spiritually. In my studies I have tried to learn who those people are. To learn how they think I read their books, and to get some insight into their character, I watch how they spend their money. Before you read the rest of this paper I ask that you take a few moments to try to consider the universe from the perspective of your mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies that transcend your physical body. Now imagine that you are the leader of the world. You have been charged by a higher intelligence to help bring about heaven on Earth, or a new world order that resembles heaven on Earth. If you accept that challenge, what would you do? I think some brave human beings have accepted that challenge, and I think they are getting a lot of celestial assistance. Keep in mind that God does his work through us, through you and me, Clinton, Bush, Carter, Gorbachev, and billions of others.

In my efforts to convey what I have learned in my recent studies, I will first try to define world government. Then I will describe some alien influence on world affairs and some human influence on world affairs. What I have learned gives me great hope for the future of this planet. I think that those who fear world government should seek a broader understanding of what's going on.

What is World Government?

Government exists at many levels. As a citizen of Ft. Walton Beach I occasionally attend city council meetings. As an environmental activist I express my views on related issues to the county commission. I try to influence the state legislature through my letters, phone calls, and occasional visits to Tallahassee when I have a strong interest in cabinet deliberations. Our federal government has three branches, which we Americans learned about in school. I hope you too write the president or your congressmen to let them know your feelings so he or she can better represent you. There also exists a world government, and a local galactic council representing a federation of planets. It is currently difficult to write to your world government, because they do not officially represent you. The United Nations represents most nations on this planet, but representatives there are not elected by the people. For decades a number of folks have been inspired to bring about a world government that does represent the people. In 1992 David Macleod of Kalamazoo, Michigan published a small booklet on the obligations and responsibilities of world citizenship, "peace" education, and how world citizens can improve the world. He encourages people to become world citizens by joining any of a dozen listed organizations in the USA, Canada, France, The Netherlands or Australia, or by starting their own.

THE WORLD CONSTITUTION AND PARLIAMENT ASSOCIATION

The organization I joined when I started my study is the World Constitution and Parliament Association (WCPA), which first met in Austria in 1957. They defined the problems of the world that could not be resolved by any single nation. These included the nuclear threat, other weapons of mass destruction, third world debt and development, atmospheric changes, soil erosion, cutting of the forests, etc. After many meetings between world-class thinkers from all continents, they adopted a Constitution for the Federation of Earth in 1977. It describes a world governmental structure designed to address the problems of the world. The last of the 59 problems on the list in the Constitution is, "General lack of well-informed and well-motivated people with a humane and global outlook to cope adequately with inter-related problems of living on Earth." In my view, this problem is less acute now than when written.

I chose to join the WCPA because I was impressed with the Preamble in the Constitution for the Federation of Earth. It reads:

"Realizing that humanity today has come to a turning point in history and that we are on the threshold of a new world order which promises to usher in an era of peace, prosperity, justice and harmony;

"Aware of the interdependence of people, nations and all life;

"Aware that man's abuse of science and technology has brought Humanity to the brink of disaster through the production of horrendous weaponry of mass destruction and to the brink of ecological and social catastrophe;

“Aware that the traditional concept of security through military defense is a total illusion both for the present and for the future;

"Aware of the misery and conflicts caused by ever increasing disparity between rich and poor;

“Conscious of our obligation to posterity to save Humanity from imminent and total annihilation;

“Conscious that Humanity is One despite the existence of diverse nations, races, creeds, ideologies and cultures and that the principle of unity in diversity is the basis for a new age when war shall be outlawed and peace prevail; when the earth’s total resources shall be equitably used for human welfare; and when basic human rights and responsibilities shall be shared by all without discrimination;

“Conscious of the inescapable reality that the greatest hope for the survival of life on earth is the establishment of a democratic world government;

“We, citizens of the world, hereby resolve to establish a world federation to be governed in accordance with this constitution for the Federation of Earth."

The proposed WCPA World Parliament has three houses: a House of Peoples elected directly by the people equally from 1000 World Electoral and Administrative Districts; a House of Nations appointed or elected by national governments; and a 200-person House of Counselors nominated by the world's academic community and elected by the other two houses. Under the Parliament there would be a World Executive, Administration, Judiciary, Ombudsman, Integrative Complex, and non-military Enforcement System. Nations joining would agree never to use any armed forces or weapons of mass destruction against another member, regardless of how long it may take to achieve full disarmament of all the nations that ratify the World Constitution. Implementation of the world government would be in three stages. The ratification procedures are quite complex, but generally the first operative stage would be implemented after ratification by 25 nations, the second after 50% of the world's nations, and the third after 80% of the nations, to include at least 90% of the people, ratify the Constitution. By June 1995 the WCPA Constitution had been ratified by 433 organizations in 81 countries representing many millions of world citizens, but it was not getting the support of national governments. A fourth Provisional World Parliament was held it June 1996 in Austria.

In 1994 I attended the WCPA USA meeting in Austin, Texas. There I heard a briefing on an organization seeking world government through the electoral processes of national governments. This is called Philadelphia II, headed by ex-US Senator Mike Gravel. He seeks a World Constitutional Convention to be convened by the year 2001. He said there were 900 articles printed about Philadelphia II in the past nine months with no bad press in the major media. I also heard Benton Musslewhite, an international patent lawyer based in Houston, brief on One World Now. He believes it is possible to use a mass media campaign to instigate a major revision of the UN charter, adding a 500-person House of Peoples elected by the people. Another interesting person I met at the meeting was a lady named Patricia who agreed to accept an activist role. Her father worked at the UN, and she had been a UN page. She was a member of the Eastern Star. She said most people are not aware of degrees in Masonry above the 33rd, but her father was a 47th degree Mason. We all noticed that she got special attention from the two suspected CIA agents from Dallas. I personally view Masonry as a long-term inspired effort to lay the groundwork that will eventually make world government acceptable to the people. I think the WCPA and other such organizations have important educational benefits, but they will not meet their goals without support of the already-existing not-so-secret world government.

THE NOT-SO-SECRET WORLD GOVERNMENT

Students of world government recognize the
COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS (CFR) as being a very influential group in the USA. The Encyclopedia of Associations, 1996 says it was founded in 1921 and has 2956 members with a staff of 120. It consists of individuals with specialized knowledge of, and an interest in, international affairs. Their purpose is to study the international aspects of American political, economic, and strategic problems. Research projects are carried out by professional staff advised by study groups of selected leaders in education, public service, business and the media. They produce a weekly National Public Radio series, "America and the World", operate an International Affairs Fellowship Program, and publish an annual report and a journal, "Foreign Affairs", six times/year. I subscribe to "Foreign Affairs” ($44 to Subscriber Services, P.O. Box 420209, Palm Coast, FL 32142-9981) along with 100,000 other people, but I haven’t been invited to any of their meetings yet. The origin of the CFR stemmed from a meeting at the Hotel Majestic in Paris on May 30, 1919. Several leading members of the delegations of the Paris Peace Conference met to discuss setting up an international group, which would advise their respective governments on international affairs. One week later it was decided it would be better to have separate organizations cooperating with each other. The CFR was founded along with the Royal Institute of International Affairs and the Institute of Pacific Relations. Money for the funding of the CFR came from J.P. Morgan, Bernard Baruch, Otto Kahn, Jacob Schiff, Paul Warburg, and John D. Rockefeller, among others. Prominent figures that have served as CFR directors include Walter Lippmann (1932-37), Adlai Stevenson (1958-62), Cyrus Vance (1968-76, 1981-87), Zbigniew Brzezinski (1972-77), and Robert 0. Anderson (1974-80), Paul Volker (1975-79), Theodore M. Hesburgh (1926-85), Lane Kirkland (1976-86), George Bush (1977-79), Henry Kissinger (1977-81), David Rockefeller (1949-85), George Schultz (1980-88), Alan Greenspan (1982-88), Brent Scowcroft (1983-89), Jeane Kirkpatrick (1985- ), and Richard B. Cheney (1987-89). Continued funding for their studies and projects comes from the most prominent foundations and corporations.

The
BILDERBERG GROUP was founded in 1954 at the Hotel de Bilderberg, Oosterbeek, Netherlands as a series of annual conferences. It aims to provide an informal atmosphere for off-the-record discussions on political, economic and military problems of mutual concern between politicians, scholars, businessmen, and labour leaders from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization countries. Prince Bernhard was the first chairman. There is no formal organization, and no membership, no charter, or elected group of officers. Attendance is by invitation of the Chairman. Lord Roll, Chairman of Warburg & Co., held that position in 1987. I don't know if he currently holds that position. Their structure reminds me of the Face-to-Face Invitational meetings I host following Project Awareness conferences in Gulf Breeze. I invite selected researchers to address the leading questions in ufology each year in an informal atmosphere for off-the-record discussions.

Bilderberg meetings are reported to include about 100 people, with nearly every American participant being a current or former member of the CFR. Our former ambassador to West Germany, George McGhee, said, "The Treaty of Rome, which brought the Common Market into being, was nurtured at the Bilderberg meetings." Other prominent Americans at those meetings have included David and Nelson Rockefeller; Thomas Hughes of the Carnegie Endowment; Winston Lord, former Director of Planning and Coordination for the State Department; Henry Kissinger; Zbigniew Brzezinski; Cyrus Vance; Robert McNamara, former president of the World Bank; Donald Rumsfeld; George Ball, former Undersecretary of State and director of Lehman Brothers; Robert Anderson, president of ARCO and associate of the Aspen Institute; President Gerald Ford; Henry Grunwald, Managing Editor of Time; Henry J. Heinz II; Father Theodore M. Hesburg, former president of Notre Dame; and Shepard Stone of the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. (Ref. – En Route to Global Occupation by Gary H. Kah)

The
TRILATERAL COMMISSION (TC) was founded in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Carter's National Security Adviser. It currently has 330 members with a staff of 11 headquartered in New York City. Members are distinguished private citizens from North America, Western Europe and Japan, including academic, business, labor and media professionals. They encourage closer cooperation among these three democratic industrialized regions. They meet annually to analyze major issues and seek to improve public understanding of these issues. They work to develop proposals for joint action and nurture habits of working together. Their annual publication is called "Trialogue", and the semiannual "Triangle Papers" contain reports of TC task forces on topics such as monetary matters, trade, the energy crises, and institution reform. (Ref. - the 1996 Encyclopedia of Associations)

Institution reform reminds me of one basic conclusion I learned from the 1994 International Transpersonal Association (ITA) meeting in Killarney, Ireland. That is: our society has suicidal tendencies. We are addicted to a number of things that are driving the destruction of the environment that supports us; use of fossil fuels, cutting down the virgin forests, the profit motive, eating beef, etc. In order to save the world by developing a sustainable lifestyle, ITA speakers said it is necessary to change the institutions that are driving the destructive behavior.

THE CLUB OF ROME (COR) is another organization associated with the not-so-secret world government. It was born in April 1968 when leaders from ten different countries gathered in Rome at the invitation of Aurellio Peccei, a prominent Italian industrialist with close ties to the Fiat and Olivetti Corporations. A high percentage of the approximately 100 members are CFR members. They are reported to include scientists, educators, economists, humanists, industrialists, and national and international civil servants. The organization has made proposals they think will lead to world peace and prosperity. On 17 Sep 73 the Club released a report, "Regionalized and Adaptive Model of the Global World System", by members Mihajlo Mesarovic and Eduard Pestel. Referring to this report the COR's founder stated:

"Their world model, based on new developments of the multilevel hierarchical systems theory, divides the world into ten interdependent and mutually interacting regions of political, economic or environmental coherence... It will be recognized of course that these are still prototype models. Mesarovic and Pestel have assumed a Herculean task. The full implementation of their work will take many years.”

The COR's New Age slant is reflected in its American Association membership which included the late Norman Cousins, the long-time honorary chairman of Planetary Citizens. Other members are John Naisbitt, author of Megatrends; Amory Lovins, speaker at John Denver's New Age center (Windstar, in Snowmass, Co.); Betty Friedan, founding president of the National Organization of Women; Jean Houston and Hazel Henderson, well known authors and speakers at New Age conferences; and Robert 0. Anderson and Harlan B. Cleveland, both members of the Aspen Institute for Humanistic Studies. Four U.S. congressmen are members along with representatives of Planned Parenthood, officials of the UN, and people connected with the Carnegie and Rockefeller foundations. The COR's first book published in 1972 is The Limits of Growth - A Report for the Club of Rome's Project on the Predicament of Mankind by Dennis L. Meadows, Donnella H. Meadows, Jorgen Randers and William W. Behrens, III. The COR's Executive Committee concludes the book with the following:

"...And, since intellectual enlightenment is without effect if it is not also political, The Club of Rome also will encourage the creation of a world forum where statesmen, policy-

makers, and scientists can discuss the dangers and hopes for the future global system

without the constraints of formal intergovernmental negotiation."

In September 1995 Donnella Meadows was a speaker at the State of the World Forum roundtable on "Environmental Protection and Economic Growth: Must There Be a Conflict?" I see this as just one example of long-term continuity in efforts by the world's most influential people to resolve the most serious problems of the world.

I think that we human beings will resolve the problems caused by selfishness and by our rapidly increasing numbers. However, I do not think we can do it without celestial assistance. Perhaps through the New Age thinkers, the truthseekers within the Club of Rome, we are getting some of that assistance. Just as the Rand Corporation has been a think tank specializing in U.S. Air Force problems for many years, I view the COR as a think tank specializing in problems of the not-so-secret world government.

FREEMASONRY

I included Freemasonry in this section because it seems to have conditioned a significant portion of society toward acceptance of a democratically elected world government. There seems to be a connecting link between many of the secret societies of the past. Starting with the ancient pantheistic mystery religions through Cabbalism, Gnosticism, the Knights Templars, the Rosicrucian, to the Masons, there seems to be an esoteric source for their teachings. In less-enlightened centuries, if they shared their secrets with more than a select few, they would probably have lost their head or been burned at the stake. In this new age, this kind of danger has mostly evolved to verbal criticism by the fearful. It has been reported by Gary Kah that if the Rosicrucian were to progress in their goal of establishing a New World Order, they would eventually have to go public to enlist the support of more people. They merged with and finally took over the stonemason guilds of Europe, retaining many of their symbols from the building trade. The stonemasons were then referred to as Operative Masons, since they were actually employed in the building profession, and the occult adepts who took over their guilds became known as Speculative Masons.

The
ILLUMINATI was a secret order founded in Ingolstadt, Germany on 1 May 1776 by Adam Weishaupt, a prominent Freemason. The order was an extension of high, or illuminized, Freemasonry. The order's name, meaning "the enlightened ones” signified that its members had been initiated into the secret teachings of Lucifer, the supposed light-bearer or source of enlightenment, according to the doctrines of illuminized Freemasonry. Kah said in his previously mentioned book, "The Illuminati had been designed for one purpose - to carry out the plans of high Freemasonry to create a New World Order by gaining a foothold in the key policy-making circles of European governments and attempting to influence the decisions of Europe's leaders from within through these advisory positions." Alice Bailey, former head of the Theosophical Society and channel for Djwhal Khul (referred to as the Tibetan master), wrote many books. She founded the Lucis Trust and the Arcane Schools. Her work is summarized in Thirty Years Work, Lucis Publishing Co., New York. It states: "The books written by Alice Bailey with the Tibetan contain many references to the Masonic Craft; to its origins, the course of its history over the centuries, and to the significant part a revitalized and re-spiritualized Masonry can and will play in the future in carrying the light and the energy of the Mystery teachings through the Aquarian era." In 1957 Alice Bailey offered a more detailed account of Freemasonry in her book, The Externalization of the Hierarchy. On page 511 she writes: "The Masonic Movement when it can be divorced from politics and social ends and from its present paralyzing inertia, will meet the needs of those who can, and should, wield power. It is the custodian of the law; it is the home of the Mysteries and the seat of initiation. It holds in its symbolism the ritual of Deity, and the way of salvation is pictorially preserved in its work. The methods of Deity are demonstrated in its Temples, and under the All-seeing Eye the work can go forward. It is a far more occult organization than can be realized, and is intended to be the training school for the coming advanced occultists. In its ceremonials lies hid the wielding of the forces connected with the growth and life of the kingdoms of nature and the unfoldment of the divine aspects of man." Foster Bailey, the husband of Alice, was also involved in Freemasonry and wrote a book on the organization titled The Spirit of Masonry. Madam Blavatsky, founder of Theosophy in Europe, was one of the first females in Masonry, and her successor, Annie Besant, President of the Theosophical Society in 1911 was Vice President and great Teacher of the Supreme Council of the International Order of Co-Masonry. Freemasonry, along with a number of new thought religions, seems to have become a part of a New Age movement that is influencing our consciousness and our actions. This movement seems to me to support a New World Order that is far closer to "heaven on Earth" than the existing order.

Alien Influence on World Affairs

INSPIRATION

Many people seem inspired to work toward world government. Many people seem inspired to save the environment from destruction. I appear to be one of those, and that is why I get so much joy out of gathering data on birds in my counties for state and local governments. Many times higher intelligence has appeared here to teach us about the universe, to teach us about God, and we human beings have turned those teachings into a religion. I think that both world leaders and our celestial guides want to keep that from happening this time.

One 1992 book documents well the alien influence on both world affairs and personal affairs, Kenneth Ring's The Omega Project: Near-Death Experiences, UFO Encounters, and Mind at Large. Ring combined lists of people who had been on alien vehicles and people who had near-death experiences with grant money, professional survey writers, the University of Connecticut computer, and graduate student support to determine the lasting effect of the experiences on the people. Although these two types of experience are quite different, the effect on the people is the same. They became more environmentally concerned and more spiritually aware.

One phenomenon that is apparently related to both alien and spiritual influence is the explosion of new age literature around the world. Frequently various telepathic processes are used to acquire information for these books. They include the ouija board, full-trance channeling, and light-trance channeling, which is similar to taking dictation from an unseen guide. This indicates to me that many people are still taught by some higher intelligence about the spiritual aspects of the universe.

As an environmental activist I am encouraged to see the quality of some of the efforts to protect biodiversity, to slow down the destruction of the rain forests, and to conserve the choicest remaining habitats. For example, The Nature Conservancy must have some big-buck donors to be able to instantly buy large chunks of choice habitat when they become available, protecting them from development until prospective government purchasers can work through the red tape necessary to acquire them for the public, and for the plants and animals. While returning from Madagascar recently I was pleased to see British Airways pass out envelopes encouraging passengers to donate their foreign currency to the World Wildlife Fund. This probably happens because Prince Phillip is a primary supporter of that fund.
POPE JOHN, XXIII's DIARY

An article about Pope John, XXIII's diary was published in the "Manila Bulletin" and reprinted in the "Philippine News" on 10 Mar 93. The Pope died on 3 Jun 63, and his dusty leather-bound diary containing handwritten predictions was found by a Vatican cleaning woman who was sorting through boxes stored in a little-used storage room. According to the Reverend Guiseppi D'Angelo, who studied the diary, “Pope John had periodic visits from both Jesus and the Virgin Mary." Several entries from the diary follow:

"February 12, 1959: Dear God, I have been blessed like no man before me. The Savior has granted me a special audience here in my chambers. He tells me that I have been chosen to hear the truth no matter how awful it may be. It scares me a bit to be so entrusted, but I am honored all the same. Jesus tells me the Virgin Mary will come soon to deliver the first news of what will be.

"April 7, 1959: She is more beautiful than I had ever 'imagined. The Madonna is a joy to behold. I just wish her message were a more positive one. She says in four years time the world will lose a great leader and a powerful nation will find itself in a conflict that it cannot win. The fighting will take its toll on the battlefield and from within as the population despises the loss of its young men. The Holy Mother sheds tears as she describes the heartbreaking vision.

"August 17, 1959: The Madonna's second visit is much like the first. She speaks sadly of unrest in her homeland, a change in the balance of power, and much blood being spilled in the sand. She says several madmen will send their people into battles in the name of God. But the Creator has nothing to do with these senseless struggles among brothers.

"January 3, 1960: Christ comes to me again. I yearn to tell my fellow Christians of these miraculous appearances, but I am advised to keep quiet until the time is right. I cannot help but think 1 could perhaps head off some of the trouble that looms for us all. But Christ tells me that misery must take place for the master plan to succeed.

"June 13, 1960: The Virgin Mary says the world will get a false sense of hope 30 years from now when the chains of repression are shattered throughout eastern Europe. The joy will be short lived though as the freed people fight among themselves on how to run their countries. Thousands of poor innocent children will perish due to the foolishness of their fathers."

TRANSFORMATION

At the International Transpersonal Association Conference in 1994, Peter Russell, a British physicist associated with the Esalen Institute, described the three major happenings of our time: ultra high technology, environmental crisis, and spiritual awakening. He said all three are taking place simultaneously, and all three are accelerating.

At the same conference Dr. John Mack, founding director of the Center for Psychology and Social Change at Harvard Medical School, gave an astounding presentation. After describing the UFO abduction phenomenon with the assistance of one of the experiencers he works with, he said, "A new being is going to emerge... The data indicates a kind of matchmaking on the part of the creator to bring together two failing species." Then he indicated the aliens are involved in a "mass outreach program for the consciously impaired." That's us. I think that much of that audience understood what Dr. Mack was talking about. We are considered a failing species because of our suicidal tendency to destroy the environment that supports us, and those 3 1/2 to 4-foot tall, large-headed, large-eyed Zeta Reticulans are failing to progress in learning unconditional love of others without a genetic boost from us. I think our genes improve the compatibility between their emotional bodies and their future physical bodies. I think that hybrid bodies will also house our souls if we are sufficiently oriented toward service to others.

I believe there are many "aliens" or advanced spirits here to assist us in the transformation. I listed some examples of this in my response to a question at the Face-to-Face Invitational following the Project Awareness conference, 16 Oct 94. The question was:

“WHAT EVIDENCE HAVE YOU SEEN THAT SOME UFO EXPERIENCERS RECALL A DUAL IDENTITY- ONE IN THE BETA STATE OF HUW EXPERIENCE, AND ONE AS PART OF AN ALIEN SOCIETY ON THEIR VEHICLES (WHILE IN AN ALTERED STATE OF MIND)?

“- My friend, Yvonne Cole, communicates with aliens. She was told that during her last incarnation her spirit inhabited a hybrid body, and she went to a planet of Zeta Reticula. This is the same lady who said she met an alien in her bedroom in the beta state of consciousness, held his hand, and gave him a tour of the house. Perhaps this was confirmation for her of her alien background.

“- A lady in Bradenton, Florida said she had frequent out-of-body trips to a giant alien vehicle to attend night school. There were lots of other people there, and some were known, deceased humans.

“- Dr. Frank Stranges talks of Val Thor who appeared quite human when he worked in the Pentagon. Frank also said Val sometimes commands an alien vehicle.

“- In 1982 RA told Don Elkins that 60 million souls that had already graduated from the human experience were here in human bodies to assist in the transformation. I suspect this includes those who are involved in the hybridization program. Are those experiencers aliens in a human body? We are all spiritual beings in different bodies.

“- Katharina Wilson apparently was asked by aliens to assist in the abduction of a nephew. Was she working as a human, or as an alien who appears human? When you perceive the universe from the perspective of the spirit, the differences between us seem less significant.

“- Dr. John Mack's book, Abduction, Human Encounters with Aliens, describes an experiencer's actions while on an alien vehicle as like those of the crew.”

My response to the next question addressed at that 1994 meeting also shed some light on alien influence on world affairs:

WHAT EVIDENCE EXISTS, IF ANY, OF MORE ADVANCED BEINGS WORKING WITH HUMANS WHO HAVE GREAT RESOURCES AND INFLUENCE, TO BRING ABOUT "HEAVEN ON EARTH" OR A NEW WORLD ORDER?

“- First, it seems to me that Jesus helped prepare us for the changes of the present time. He had great resources in his paranormal abilities, and he helped change the way we think. I suggest his understanding was assisted by other advanced beings during his 40 days in the wilderness.

“- Starting on page 342 of Saint Germain on Alchemy is a description of George Washington's vision of America's trials that influenced him at Valley Forge.

“- Abraham Lincoln is rumored to have gotten spiritual advice on the slavery issue.

“- Alice Bailey had the ability to receive clear telepathic messages, and she was used to provide 20-some books early in this century. Some have helped clarify our problems so we can move easily solve them.

“- President Eisenhower is reported to have been given a demonstration in April 1954 by aliens who apparently sought cooperation of some sort. He is reported to have asked them to please minimize their impact on our society.

“- Ruth Montgomery, a popular Washington, D.C. personality, was apparently guided through many paranormal experiences that she wrote about. (Although she did not report seeing aliens, I do not make a great distinction between spirit guides and advanced spirits in an alien body.)

“- Andre Puharich, Sir John Whitmore, and Phyllis Schlemmer worked as a team with a spiritual entity, "TOM", in the mid 1970s to help resolve conflicts in the Middle East. See Prelude to Landing on Planet Earth by Stuart Halroyd.

“- Gene Rodenbury got some of his ideas about the universe from the same "TOM".

“- Gorbachev and his staff are reported to have been visited by two Ascended Masters in 1985 which resulted in a rapid reduction in the nuclear threat to the planet and an end to the cold war. They predicted an “accident” at Chernobyl. A report by Vladimir Rubstov in the 1994
MUFON Symposium Proceedings adds support to this story by describing an alien vehicle that reduced the radiation levels from the core of reactor #4 by 73% three hours after the explosion."

I wonder what other world leaders are being influenced toward a new world order. One example of how ET contact has led to a transformation of consciousness among many people is the
Raelian movement. A description is found in the first part of an undated promotion from the British Raelian Movement office in London:

"On the 13th of December 1973, a French journalist called Rael was contacted by an extra-terrestrial and, over six consecutive afternoons, was dictated a series of messages, outstanding in their lucidity, revolutionary in their approach and crucial for today's world. "The extra-terrestrial explained how, just as we are beginning to synthesize life in our own laboratories right now, so too had they designed all life on Earth, including 'man in their image'. It was they who initiated the major religions in an effort to progressively educate humanity, their children. Now that we are capable of rationally understanding them instead of dumbly adoring them, they wish us to provide a bit of land for them, which is internationally recognized as neutral territory, where an Embassy can be established for them to officially meet with humanity after all these years.

"The Raelian Movement was started in order to publicize these messages without trying to convince, to establish this embassy, and to prepare the world for their coming, including the teaching of Sensual Meditation - techniques of awakening the mind and body as taught by "our fathers from space".

“The Movement was started in France and spread through French speaking countries such as Canada, Belgium, the Antilles, Switzerland, parts of Africa, etc, then to Japan, Korea, China, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Argentina, Peru, Greece, and just recently, following the translation of the books into English, it has reached the USA and Britain. It has currently over 30,000 members worldwide, a number which increases by 30% every year."

Concerning “...a bit of land for them that is internationally recognized as neutral territory,..." such places as Dulce base in northern New Mexico or the S-4 section of Area 51 in Nevada come to mind. Bill Uhouse said he worked there and was told there were six such bases inside the U.S. borders that are beyond the jurisdiction of the President. This idea is also consistent with the statement by the shadowy intelligence agent, "Falcon", on NBC's 'UFO Cover-up Live" TV special in 1988. He said that aliens have operational control over parts of Nevada. Perhaps an alien embassy is there.

The following story seems to be evidence that alien liaison is taking place, and that someone apparently found it useful to change the thinking at the top levels of the Department of Defense through covert means. In 1988 a friend brought a recently retired lawyer from New York to my home so he could tell me about his personal UFO experience in 1959. After listening to his story, I asked him if he had any other encounters. He said no, but his neighbor, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, told him about an intriguing experience. His neighbor said he flew large aircraft out of Peterson AFB, Colorado in 1968 when he got a strange mission. He flew a large group of high-ranking generals and civilians from the Pentagon to a TACAN/DME position over the southwest desert and was told to listen on a certain radio frequency. When he got there three alien vehicles appeared, and everyone on the plane was able to see them. Then over the assigned channel came this message, "There are many concepts of God in the universe." The alien vehicles departed, and the Air Force plane returned to base.

Now consider this mission carefully. If it really happened, and I have no reason to believe it did not, someone at a very high level in our government either coordinated that mission with the aliens or accepted the coordination of a known non-government individual. And why did this happen? I can only presume that someone wanted the top levels of our Department of Defense to associate UFOs with that message. I find this believable, considering all the other data I have collected. This event also made me wonder if the 1987 Pentagon UFO Working Group that Howard Blum wrote about in Out There was another covert educational program for lower-ranking officers.

Some UFO appearances seem to be designed to raise the awareness of large groups of people without scaring them too much:

In 1952 they appeared as red lights over Washington, D.C. for hours on two Saturday nights in a row. Each time they made headlines around the world.

In 1984 large triangular vehicles with lights flew low and slow silently over populated

areas of the Hudson Valley on many nights.

In 1986 in Brazil at least 13 UFOs played games with the Air Force for hours before departing east over the Atlantic. Brazilian fighter pilots and radar operators were allowed to hold an international press conference the next morning.

In 1987 a couple in Gulf Breeze, Florida had 22 encounters including 18 photographic sessions with alien vehicles over a 5 1/2-month period. They were allowed to take 41 good photographs of three different types of vehicles.

Then in 1990 many people watched triangular ships over Belgium, and interceptors got good radar data that the government shared with the public.

And in 1992 alien vehicles started making frequent appearances over Mexico, and they have continued for four years. Most of the people have lost their fear of the alien presence, and many think they fulfill both Aztec and Mayan prophesy.

A lot of this alien influence seems to be aimed at raising the consciousness of individuals. I think this is because our visitors, watchers, and guides know that we will not have a better world until we have better people in it. I have high hopes for this long-term progressive educational program. Many people are overcoming their fear and their hate, and they are learning to express love for everyone.

Human Influence on World Affairs

In my study of world government I read a wide variety of materials, including "The New Federalist" and "The Spotlight" newspapers. Many writers for "The Spotlight" were quite critical of some people I had learned to respect. Henry Kissinger and the Rockefellers were names often mentioned. I now feel that those writer's feelings were slanted by fear, fear of people with power, people with money and influence. Some people misunderstand what others do by guessing at the reasons they do it. I think that if you want to know how someone else thinks, you need to read what he or she writes. If you want to know what kind of a person they are at a deeper level, you need to watch how they spend their money.

In 1974 when I taught the AFROTC at NC State University I developed a course called "The Military in American Society". The books of Henry Kissinger were quite useful, because he was a recognized authority in that field. In my current study I read Kissinger's 912-page book Diplomacy, written in 1994. The first chapter is titled “The New World Order,” and the last chapter "The New World Order Reconsidered." In between is a history of diplomacy on this planet for the past three centuries. Writing it was a monumental task, and it is not what people normally read for entertainment. It seems to me to be most useful to whoever is trying to determine what is possible in the realm of diplomacy in the next century. I wondered if writing this book was an assignment from the Trilateral Commission. I also read that wonderful 785-page book, The Future of the Body: Explorations Into the Further Evolution of Human Nature, by Michael Murphy, Co-Founder of the Esalen Institute. The leading financial backer for that project was Laurance Rockefeller. This is a text for anyone interested in the transformation of mankind.

BETWEEN TWO AGES

I went to the library and found that three years before Zbigniew Brzezinski co-founded the Trilateral Commission with David Rockefeller he wrote a book with the intriguing title, Between Two Ages, America's Role in the Technetronic Era. My library borrowed a copy from Florida State University. Section I is "The Global Impact of the Technetronic Revolution." Among the choice statements here is this; "Nationalism so personalized community feelings that the nation became an extension of the ego." One subsection is called "New Social Patterns," which includes the following; "In the emerging new society questions relating to the obsolescence of skills, security, vacations, leisure, and profit sharing dominate the relationship, and the psychic well-being of millions of relatively-secure but potentially aimless lower-middle-class blue-collar workers becomes a growing problem." In a subsection on "The Onset of the Technetronic Age" he says, "In every scientific field complaints are mounting that the torrential outpouring of published reports, scientific papers, and scholarly articles and the proliferation of professional journals make it impossible for individuals to avoid becoming either narrow-gauged specialists or superficial generalists. The sharing of new common perspectives thus becomes more difficult as knowledge expands..." Now, 23 years later, these statements show unusual wisdom. Another subsection is on "Global Ghettos."

In Section II Brzezinski said that compelling ideologies are giving way to compulsive ideas. The relatively uneducated masses are becoming more concerned with the external qualities of life than with the more spiritual dimension. There is also a subsection on "A Quest for a Universal Vision." In Section V of the book, "America and the World," he discusses in length "A Community of Developed Nations." I was amazed at the depth of his thought on the future problems of the world. Three years after publishing this book he drafted the charter for the TC. This seems to me to be a necessary step in trying to resolve those future problems. Without a coordinated worldwide effort we may not survive to enjoy a new age.

WHO ARE THE MEMBERS OF THE TC/CFR?

A partial list of the 330 members of the Trilateral Commission and the 2956 members of the Council on Foreign Relations was published by the Fund to Restore an Educated Electorate. Bill Clinton is a member of the TC and CFR, and 50 key members of his cabinet, staff and supporting agencies were on the list. There were also 33 members of the Department of State, including 14 Ambassadors, and 50 key members of the U.S. military. The largest group listed, 86 people, included CEOs and board members, etc. of the major media: CBS, NBC/RCA, ABC, PBS, Associated Press, Reuters, Baltimore Sun, Washington Times, Children's TV Network (Sesame Street), CNN, U.S. News and World Report, New York Time Co., Time (Corp.), Newsweek/Washington Post, Dow Jones & Co., National Review (William F. Buckley, Jr.), Readers Digest, and syndicated columnists Georgie Anne Geyer and Ben J. Wattenberg.

Also on this TC/CFR list were 35 members of congress, 14 past and present members of the Federal Reserve System, 24 energy company executives, 64 other business and industry leaders, 4 labor union leaders, and 31 college and university presidents. Eleven other university professors were all members of the TC. This list only categorized about 12% of the combined membership of these two levels of the not-so-secret world government. You can imagine how much influence they have in the world if they can all be persuaded to work together for the common good.

WHAT DO THEY DO?

As a serious student of UFO phenomena for 44 years I have become well aware that information concerning the alien presence has been highly controlled throughout much of the world. I how think this control has been a function of both world government and the alien presence. It is significant that in 1953 the Robertson Panel concluded that it is in the national interest to keep the public from getting too excited about the alien presence (although in slightly different words). This seems to support the "prime directive" as taught through nightly doses of Star Trek. The ridicule with which the media treated the subject delayed widespread attention for several decades. When some experiencers I know persisted in talking about their UFO experiences that included government involvement, they were subjected to threats and close surveillance. When this failed, some were apparently picked up and subjected to attempts to block their memory of such events with drug-assisted hypnotic suggestion. This is similar to, but cruder than, alien procedures in blocking people's memory of onboard experiences. A lot of what's going on suggests coordinated human/alien programs.

Many of the corporations headed by CFR members now use an ET theme in their advertisements. There have been major changes recently in both the entertainment and educational media that seem to be preparing us for meeting a galactic society. Carl Sagan, author of Contact and Pale Blue Dot, wrote a highly educational article for Parade Magazine (30 million circulation), "Are They Coming For Us?” that said millions of Americans are hallucinating the same on-board experiences, or it's really happening. His closing sentence said, "There is genuine scientific paydirt in UFOs and alien abductions - but it is, I think, of distinctly terrestrial origin.” I agree with this statement, because the hybridization seems to be a joint human/alien program. Another Parade article by Sagan in 1994 called "Wanderers" includes this paragraph:

"Of course we must keep our planet habitable - not on a leisurely timescale of centuries or millennia, but urgently, on a timescale of decades or even years. This will involve changes in government, in industry, in ethics, in economics and in religion. We've never done such a thing before, certainly not on a global scale."

I think information about the alien presence is being put into the public domain so that it is available to those seeking it and not forced upon those who are not mentally, emotionally or spiritually ready for it.

One example of actions by the TC/CFR is THE CASABLANCA CONFERENCE of 1994. The International Herald Tribune of October 29 quoted the New York Times about it.

"Make peace pay. That is the goal of the conference starting on Sunday in Casablanca, Morocco. King Hassan II will play host to officials from Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and dozens of other Middle Eastern, North African and Western countries who will gather to discuss economics, not politics. Government leaders and executives from about 1000 corporations will meet for three days to discuss joint business ventures.

"Arabs and Jews talking openly about trade, tourism and regional economic development would have seemed unimaginable a year ago. The conference will help turn the unimaginable into the routine.

"The recently signed Jordan-Israel peace treaty and the accord between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization were political victories negotiated by political leaders. The Casablanca conference moves matters to a second, potentially broader stage. The nations of the Middle East will live in peace only if they escape from squalor. Governments have a big role to play in economic development - primarily by providing political and legal stability. But the Middle East also needs private capital and a stable economic order to prosper...

"The conference will focus on specific goals. These include the establishing of government guarantees for private investors and creation of a $10 billion regional development bank that will be partially funded from outside the region. The conferees will also try to set up permanent institutions that can put together joint projects on water, energy and tourism. The Council on Foreign Relations, which helped organize the conference, will create an international task force led by Paul Volker [TC/CFR, Member] former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board, to develop economic strategies for the region..."

A follow-up report said that they only got $2 billion contributed at that meeting, but that is a significant start for a long-term effort. I found it interesting that in the book The Only Planet of Choice: Essential Briefings from Deep Space, a galactic spokesman, "Tom", said the only major problem humans must yet resolve is that Arabs and Jews must learn to live together.

An important recent action taken by three members of the CFR was the trip to Haiti by Jimmy Carter, Colin Powell, and Sam Nunn. With the help of President Clinton, who had military forces on the way, they were able to talk a cruel dictator into choosing peace and getting out of the country. Major bloodshed was averted at some risk to their own lives. Clinton was quick to announce that these three men were not acting for the U.S. government on this mission. The common sponsor seems to be the CFR. Shortly after that Carter went to North Korea and made progress on a nuclear non-proliferation issue, and then he went to Bosnia and negotiated a 4-month ceasefire. His next trip was Africa where mass killings were taking place. The Carter Center strongly supports Habitat for Humanity around the world, a wonderful program because it allows many individuals to be of service to others, and Carter is working to eliminate serious but currently localized diseases throughout Africa. I think it is also noteworthy that our hard-working Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, is a member of the CFR. Many TC/CFR members support the goals of their organization through their foundations. Those include names like Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie, and Gorbachev. Many businesses also provide funding. Although I have not found a direct CFR link, someone sent me a brochure worth mentioning on the "First Annual International Conference, TRANSFORMING THE SOUL OF BUSINESS: Profit, Competition, and Conscience on the New Frontier." It was held at Hilton Head, South Carolina in 1995. Ruth Buczynski, President of the sponsoring organization, The National Institute for a New Corporate Vision, stated:

"This conference represents the fulfillment of our dream to bring together successful and

concerned entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders from companies of all types and sizes

who want to move beyond theory and get on with the business of making a profit while

making a difference. The participants will share insights, ideas, success stories (and

noble experiments not quite so successful) in addressing problems we all face. It has

always been our view that business can and must be the agent for positive change in our

society, and that the bottom line need not suffer - indeed, that it will be enhanced - in the

process."

I wish them great success.

Two other organizations that are taking positive actions to help transform the world are the International Transpersonal Association and the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). Founded by ex-astronaut Edgar Mitchell, IONS is helping raise the consciousness of many people. I found it interesting that one of their projects supported with Laurance Rockefeller's money is to try to learn to communicate with dolphins through telepathy. Space aliens sometimes communicate with us through telepathy; so, perhaps we can hone our telepathic skills by communicating with the intelligent species of the sea.

THE GORBACHEV FOUNDATION

Another 1995 conference that I considered extremely important was the State of the World Forum, Sep 27-Oct I in San Francisco, sponsored by the Gorbachev Foundation USA. Hundreds of "thoughtful individuals" from around the world met to address the fundamental changes of the 21st century. They included many members of the TC/CFR. Co-chairs included such notables as Oscar Arias, George Bush, Somia Gandhi, Vaclav Haval, Ruud Lubbers, George Schultz, Ted Turner and Lee Kuan Yew. The president of the foundation, James A. Garrison, stated:

"This historic international effort was launched in direct response to what appears to be

increasing international instability unleashed by the ending of the cold war, and will

include the participation of a wide range of current political leaders, senior states people,

corporate visionaries, religious and intellectual leaders and youth."

In the Executive Summary the mission of the forum was stated as follows:

"The State of the World Forum is the launching of a multi-year initiative - a citizen's global

brain trust - to focus on the fundamental challenges and opportunities confronting

humanity as we enter the next phase of human development. The goal of the forum is to

articulate a clearer vision of new international priorities. Its product will be an on going

process to generate innovative approaches to the challenges facing human society. This

historic gathering will:

- Analyze the current state of the world.

- Launch a multi-year process, culminating in the year 2000, to articulate the

fundamental priorities, values and actions necessary to constructively shape our common future."

The final event of the conference was George Bush, Margaret Thatcher and Mikhail

Gorbachev on the stage of the beautiful Masonic Temple in San Francisco being questioned by a CNN reporter for an hour. One point made with great emphasis by Thatcher was that the UN was not organized to make any executive decision for the world. Following this, on CNN, was a 30-minute analysis of the previous hour by three people, one from each of the "trilateral" regions.

The Gorbachev Foundation USA stationery indicates that the State of the World Forum is one of four major programs. The others are The Global Security Project, Humanitarian Assistance to Emerging Nations, and the Presidio Dialogues. Since the U.S. Army gave up the Presidio, the choice property at the end of the Golden Gate Bridge, efforts are being made to encourage the major international organizations that can help save the environment congregate there. This effort supports Gorbachev's position as head of Green Cross International formed to help keep human selfishness from destroying the environment that supports us all.

THE HUMAN POTENTIAL FOUNDATION

The Human Potential Foundation (HPF) was founded in 1989. According to its brochure it "Shares an important mission with many American institutions - to cultivate the physical, mental and spiritual well being of people." Co-founders were Senator Claiborne Pell (CFR), well known for Pell Grants, and C.B. Scott Jones, HPF President. These are two very interesting individuals. I heard they started with a $1 million grant from Laurance Rockefeller, and I have noted some of their efforts:

- The HPF funded Dr. John Mack's PEER group that researches UFO "abductions and

supports those people who have been on-board alien vehicles. Training other professionals around the country to assist had a high priority.

- The HPF arranged for leading UFO/ETI researchers to meet with Mr. Rockefeller in

September 1993 at his Grand Teton ranch to discuss: their research; strategies for influencing government policy in the direction of openness on the issues; an assessment of alleged psychological, economic and other barriers to a government policy of openness; and spiritual and other-dimensional aspects of 'UFO and ETI phenomena. This last item was done in a one-on-one format.

- Scott Jones and an assistant, Dick Farley, published a UFO Briefing/Bibliography of I8

books that they gave to people in high places. If you read those 18 books you get a good idea of what's going on.

- The HPF helped manage the Rockefeller White House Initiative to make previously-

classified UFO information available to the public. (I have seen letters that convince me that the recent publicity on the Roswell incident is a result of that initiative. Any government action on the issue must be of a covert nature. The discussion in the hangar at the end of the Roswell movie was very informative, and the alien's telepathic comment to Admiral Forestall in that docum-drama I believe was new to the public domain. The autopsy film is real; although, most information concerning it is disinformation. The EBEs are not from the Roswell crash. I think the release of this film was engineered by some government agency to be deniable by those who are not ready for it.

- At the end of June, 1995 the HPF hosted a conference titled "When Cosmic Cultures

Meet". Jones thought it was time for people to step back from arguments about evidence and assume that someday there will be unambiguous evidence that cosmic cultures are meeting and Earth is one of the meeting grounds. Now is the time to talk about how that meeting affects all conscious life and cultural institutions. Proceedings of the conference can be purchased by check to Scott Jones from P.E.A.C.E., PO Box 290707, Kerrville, TX78029-0707 for $19.95 + $3 s+h (autographed if requested), or by credit card from Headline Books at 800-570-5951.

The current efforts of C.B. Scott Jones are directed toward The Peace Room project. He hopes to combine his drive for making this a better world with; his personal connections, his experience with war room hardware and software, the efforts of university graduate students, and donations of surplus government equipment, to concentrate resources for planning for peace. He envisions a three-step process starting with a prototype Peace Room in the Washington, D.C. area, then with several regional Peace Rooms around the world, followed by one co-located with the UN Headquarters.

I think the most intriguing speaker at the cosmic cultures conference was George S. Robinson, the first man to get a doctorate in Civil Law relating to space. He had served as a legal council to the National Research Council, the Smithsonian Institute and FAA, and legal consultant to NASA. One of his many books is titled Envoys of Mankind, 1986. His lecture title was "Homo alterios spacialis: Extraterrestrial Progeny of Humankind and a Declaration of Interdependence." He said we cannot take our national laws into space. We have to determine what is natural law or cosmic law. Without quoting exactly, he said that we have to determine what law applies to us out there, to aliens down here, and to human/alien hybrids here, there and everywhere.

At the cosmic cultures conference there were panels on the subjects of fear, hope, and the future. Jones asked me to be the moderator of the Hope panel, which also included Dr. Richard Boylan, Dr. Leo Sprinkle, and Ruth Montgomery. The person who submitted the best question to each panel, determined by the panel members, got their $250 registration fee reimbursed. When I congratulated the submitter of the best question for the Hope panel, she said, "That was not my question. My spirit guide gave it to me." I cannot quote exactly, but it asked if, when negotiating the future of this planet, are we negotiating for just the humans or also for the animals, the trees, and the planet itself?

Conclusions

Humans and aliens, both in and out of physical bodies, are working to help us join a galactic society. I think that a world government, elected by the people, is a necessary step in that process. I would like to finish this paper with the last two paragraphs of my 2 Sep 94 “Commentary on Abductions.”

Many of the more credible telepathic teachings tell us that major programs involving alien "abductions" involve souls who agreed to participate prior to their present incarnation. I have no problem with this concept, since I now perceive the universe from the perspective of my soul, rather than as Donald Ware. In The RA Material we were told, in 1982, that 60 million souls in human bodies are beings that had already graduated from the human experience. The reason these millions are incarnated here now is to assist in the transformation. Much of this assistance seems to involve hybridization with smaller large-headed, large-eyed guys from Zeta Reticulum. Many of those lovely people I know who have been taken on-board alien vehicles do seem to be wise old souls.

I hope our hybrid offspring are kinder in spirit and less addicted to the things that cause environmental destruction. I think many millions of these new larger-brained, hybrid bodies already house human souls. I hope Star Trek has conditioned us to more easily accept those who look different. I hope we allow the hybrids to inhabit this planet before it becomes too late to save it from human selfishness. Perhaps another jump in our evolution is a part of the transformation, a jump from Homo sapiens to Homo alterios spacialis (higher human from space). Perhaps this is what is needed to bring to life a new world order that resembles heaven on Earth.

NEW!  The Power Of I AM

I AM is the Truth, your Truth, the only Truth, and so it is.

When you say these words, ‘I AM, I AM THAT I AM, I KNOW’, you are actually
closing the gap between you and ‘All That Is’. You are giving up the idea
about you being separated from The Source. Everything else is an illusion.

You are unique and more powerful than you know. By listening to the Silence
and the Power which lies in the energy of I AM you activate the Divine Love
and Peace that is your natural state. You are actually reclaiming Who you
really Are. It's like a command from your Self to yourself to let go of
separation and become One with The Source again.

When you express the ‘I AM, I AM THAT I AM, I KNOW’, you give yourself
access to all knowledge, solutions, and you activate the body’s own living
power, wisdom and Divine abilities to dissolve conflicts that have caused
drama and sickness in your life ... sickness too is an illusion.

We have for so long, by living in duality, suppressed the Heart and lived
through the mind as if it was a greater power, a greater existence and most
of the time the one and only truth for us. We have given the mind greater
value for thousands of years. As a result we have trusted it the most. The
mind is the masculine part of us which is imbalanced when not in Oneness
with the Cosmic Heart, The Source.

In the New Energy - the spiritual evolution - this condition is reversed. It
is now the Heart, the Cosmic Heart - Universal Love, which is the greater
power, existence and Truth. As this occurs the mind is also evolving, and
you become an unlimited creator with a creative power far beyond what has
been imagined. This is when you start creating greatness, because this is
your natural state. Miracles become part of your natural existence, because
You Are Miraculous.

I AM is God becoming your mirror and you start to see life through God’s
eyes. I AM is the foundation for New Energy, the New Earth, The Golden Age.
I AM is you connected to The Source. This connection is important because
you are letting yourself become Who you really Are for God’s power is your
natural power. That same power is being activated in your heart when you say
the words, ‘I AM, I AM THAT I AM, I KNOW’.

You are not alone ... we are all One with Universal Consciousness - The
Source. But when you believe in separation, fear takes over and fear becomes
your truth. I AM means Oneness with God - The Source, which removes fear.
Fear creates sickness, drama, suffering, worrying and belief that we have
problems, that we are mortal. I AM THAT I AM makes it simple yet powerful.
You engage in a different way of living when you move into the power of I
AM, but you no longer have to ‘work’ to get the results you are looking for.

Humans don't believe things are easy or that things should come easily. They
like to complicate life. Most people believe that if things seem too good to
be true they are not true. As a result they shut down and create the end of
a good experience, relationship, or a really good life. When we believe in
separation we get stuck in an everlasting ‘seeking’ for something or someone
out there that can heal us, help us, save us or give us the life we want. We
give away our power and become powerless.

I AM is peace, I AM is freedom, I AM is Divine Love, I AM is Who you Are. As
you realize this you become One with The Cosmic Heart. The Source is in
contact with All That Is, with all humans. With this understanding all
solutions come with people you attract to yourself. I AM is the essence of
ecstasy, passion, Divine Love and Peace, and that is the highest form of
Creation.

You will both feel and ‘see’ beyond old belief systems. I AM changes your
perspective, and in the end you see only Light. I AM is the ecstasy that
creates abundance, wealth and luxury on all levels. When you breath in I AM,
I AM THAT I AM, I KNOW, you become Peace and Love your Self. You become the
God you have always looked for outside yourself. Your life will change as
will the way you look at your life. When you live I AM, I AM THAT I AM, I
KNOW, it becomes like the wind ... you cannot see it, but you can see the
effects of it.

If you consider that the Universe may be a hologram, then consider author-researcher Michael Talbot and his book, "The Holographic Universe." Here's an essay by Michael compliments of Fred Burks:

The Holographic Universe: Meeting Place of Science and Spirituality


"Even visions and experiences involving "non-ordinary" reality become explainable under the holographic paradigm. In a holographic universe there are no limits to the extent to which we can alter the fabric of reality."
  -- Michael Talbot, author of
The Holographic Universe


Dear friends,

Michael Talbot is a brilliant researcher who authored a number of thought-provoking books depicting a theoretical model of reality that suggests the physical universe is akin to a giant hologram. In his highly regarded book The Holographic Universe, Talbot bases much of his fascinating writing on the work of two esteemed professors, University of London's quantum physicist David Bohm and Stanford University's neurosurgeon Karl Pribram. This is one of the most amazing, inspiring books I've ever read. Chapter four even gives a scientific basis for miracles with incredible, documented examples. Below is an essay by Talbot summarizing his mind-expanding concepts.

With very best wishes,

The Universe as a Hologram
By Michael Talbot, author of The Holographic Universe


Does Objective Reality Exist?

In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris, a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science.

Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them. It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart. Somehow each particle always seems to know what the other is doing.

The problem with this feat is that it violates Einstein's long-held tenet that no communication can travel faster than the speed of light. Since traveling faster than the speed of light is tantamount to breaking the time barrier, this daunting prospect has caused some physicists to try to come up with elaborate ways to explain away Aspect's findings. But it has inspired others to offer even more radical explanations.

University of London physicist David Bohm, for example, believes Aspect's findings suggest that objective reality may not exist, that despite its apparent solidity the universe is at heart a phantasm, a gigantic and splendidly detailed hologram.

How Does a Hologram Work?

To understand why Bohm makes this startling assertion, one must first understand a little about holograms. A hologram is a three-dimensional photograph made with the aid of a laser. To make a hologram, the object to be photographed is first bathed in the light of a laser beam. Then a second laser beam is bounced off the reflected light of the first and the resulting interference pattern (the area where the two laser beams commingle) is captured on film.

When the film is developed, it looks like a meaningless swirl of light and dark lines. But as soon as the developed film is illuminated by another laser beam, a three-dimensional image of the original object appears.

The three-dimensionality of such images is not the only remarkable characteristic of holograms. If a hologram of a rose is cut in half and then illuminated by a laser, each half will still be found to contain the entire image of the rose. Indeed, even if the halves are divided again, each snippet of film will always be found to contain a smaller but intact version of the original image. Unlike normal photographs, every part of a hologram contains all the information possessed by the whole.

The "whole in every part" nature of a hologram provides us with an entirely new way of understanding organization and order. For most of its history, Western science has labored under the bias that the best way to understand a physical phenomenon, whether a frog or an atom, is to dissect it and study its respective parts.

A hologram teaches us that some things in the universe may not lend themselves to this approach. If we try to take apart something constructed holographically, we will not get the pieces of which it is made, we will only get smaller wholes.

This insight suggested to Bohm another way of understanding Aspect's discovery. Bohm believes the reason subatomic particles are able to remain in contact with one another regardless of the distance separating them is not because they are sending some sort of mysterious signal back and forth, but because their separateness may be an illusion. He argues that at some deeper level of reality such particles are not individual entities, but are actually extensions of the same fundamental something.

To enable people to better visualize what he means, Bohm offers the following illustration. Imagine an aquarium containing a fish. Imagine also that you are unable to see the aquarium directly and your knowledge about it and what it contains comes from two television cameras, one directed at the aquarium's front and the other directed at its side.

As you stare at the two television monitors, you might assume that the fish on each of the screens are separate entities. After all, because the cameras are set at different angles, each of the images will be slightly different.

But as you continue to watch the two fish, you will eventually become aware that there is a certain relationship between them. When one turns, the other also makes a slightly different but corresponding turn; when one faces the front, the other always faces toward the side. If you remain unaware of the full scope of the situation, you might even conclude that the fish must be instantaneously communicating with one another, but this is clearly not the case.

This, says Bohm, is precisely what is going on between the subatomic particles in Aspect's experiment. According to Bohm, the apparent faster-than-light connection between subatomic particles is really telling us that there is a deeper level of reality we are not privy to, a more complex dimension beyond our own that is analogous to the aquarium. And, he adds, we view objects such as subatomic particles as separate from one another because we are seeing only a portion of their reality.

The Interconnected Nature of the Universe

Such particles are not separate "parts", but facets of a deeper and more underlying unity that is ultimately as holographic and indivisible as the previously mentioned rose. And since everything in physical reality is comprised of these "eidolons", the universe is itself a projection, a hologram.

In addition to its phantomlike nature, such a universe would possess other rather startling features. If the apparent separateness of subatomic particles is illusory, it means that at a deeper level of reality all things in the universe may be infinitely interconnected.

The electrons in a carbon atom in the human brain may be connected to the subatomic particles that comprise every salmon that swims, every heart that beats, and every star that shimmers in the sky. From this vantage point, everything interpenetrates everything, and although human nature may seek to categorize and pigeonhole and subdivide, the various phenomena of the universe and all of nature is ultimately a seamless web.

In a holographic universe, even time and space could no longer be viewed as fundamentals. Because concepts such as location break down in a universe in which nothing is truly separate from anything else, time and three-dimensional space, like the images of the fish on the TV monitors, would also have to be viewed as projections of this deeper order.

At its deeper level, reality may be a sort of superhologram in which the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. This suggests that given the proper tools, it might even be possible to someday reach into the superholographic level of reality and pluck out scenes from the long-forgotten past.

What else the superhologram contains is an open-ended question. Allowing, for the sake of argument, that the superhologram is the matrix that has given birth to everything in our universe, at the very least it contains every subatomic particle that has been or will be -- every configuration of matter and energy that is possible, from snowflakes to quasars, from blue whales to gamma rays. It must be seen as a sort of cosmic storehouse of "All That Is."

Although Bohm concedes that we have no way of knowing what else might lie hidden in the superhologram, he does venture to say that we have no reason to assume it does not contain more. Or as he puts it, perhaps the superholographic level of reality is a "mere stage" beyond which lies "an infinity of further development".

The Holographic Mind

Bohm is not the only researcher who has found evidence that the universe is a hologram. Working independently in the field of brain research, Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram has also become persuaded of the holographic nature of reality. Pribram was drawn to the holographic model by the puzzle of how and where memories are stored in the brain. For decades numerous studies have shown that rather than being confined to a specific location, memories are dispersed throughout the brain.

In a series of landmark experiments in the 1920s, brain scientist Karl Lashley found that no matter what portion of a rat's brain he removed he was not able to eradicate its memory of how to perform complex tasks it had learned prior to surgery. The only problem was that no one was able to come up with a mechanism that might explain this curious "whole in every part" nature of memory storage.

Then in the 1960s, Pribram encountered the concept of holography and realized he had found the explanation brain scientists had been looking for.

Pribram believes memories are encoded not in neurons, or small groupings of neurons, but in patterns of nerve impulses that crisscross the entire brain in the same way that patterns of laser light interference crisscross the entire area of a piece of film containing a holographic image. In other words, Pribram believes the brain is itself a hologram.

Pribram's theory also explains how the human brain can store so many memories in so little space. It has been estimated that the human brain has the capacity to memorize something on the order of 10 billion bits of information during the average human lifetime (or roughly the same amount of information contained in five sets of the Encyclopedia Britannica).

Similarly, it has been discovered that in addition to their other capabilities, holograms possess an astounding capacity for information storage -- simply by changing the angle at which the two lasers strike a piece of photographic film, it is possible to record many different images on the same surface. It has been demonstrated that one cubic centimeter of film can hold as many as 10 billion bits of information.

Our uncanny ability to quickly retrieve whatever information we need from the enormous store of our memories becomes more understandable if the brain functions according to holographic principles. If a friend asks you to tell him what comes to mind when he says the word "zebra", you do not have to clumsily sort back through some gigantic and cerebral alphabetic file to arrive at an answer. Instead, associations like "striped", "horselike", and "animal native to Africa" all pop into your head instantly.

Indeed, one of the most amazing things about the human thinking process is that many pieces of information seem instantly cross-correlated with other pieces of information -- another feature intrinsic to the hologram. Because every portion of a hologram is infinitely interconnected with every other portion, the mind is perhaps nature's supreme example of a cross-correlated system.

The storage of memory is not the only neurophysiological puzzle that becomes more tractable in light of Pribram's holographic model of the brain. Another is how the brain is able to translate the avalanche of frequencies it receives via the senses (light frequencies, sound frequencies, and so on) into the concrete world of our perceptions.

Encoding and decoding frequencies is precisely what a hologram does best. Just as a hologram functions as a sort of lens, a translating device able to convert an apparently meaningless blur of frequencies into a coherent image, Pribram believes the brain also comprises a lens and uses holographic principles to mathematically convert the frequencies it receives through the senses into the inner world of our perceptions.

Holographic Evidence

An impressive body of evidence suggests that the brain uses holographic principles to perform its operations. Pribram's theory, in fact, has gained increasing support among neurophysiologists.

Argentinian-Italian researcher Hugo Zucarelli recently extended the holographic model into the world of acoustic phenomena. Puzzled by the fact that humans can locate the source of sounds without moving their heads, even if they only possess hearing in one ear, Zucarelli discovered that holographic principles can explain this ability. Zucarelli has also developed the technology of holophonic sound, a recording technique able to reproduce acoustic situations with an almost uncanny realism. [listen to samples here and here - earphones needed]

Pribram's belief that our brains mathematically construct "hard" reality by relying on input from a frequency domain has also received a good deal of experimental support. It has been found that each of our senses is sensitive to a much broader range of frequencies than was previously suspected.

Researchers have discovered, for instance, that our visual systems are sensitive to sound frequencies, that our sense of smell is in part dependent on what are now called "osmic frequencies", and that even the cells in our bodies are sensitive to a broad range of frequencies. Such findings suggest that it is only in the holographic domain of consciousness that such frequencies are sorted out and divided up into conventional perceptions.

But the most mind-boggling aspect of Pribram's holographic model of the brain is what happens when it is put together with Bohm's theory. For if the concreteness of the world is but a secondary reality and what is "there" is actually a holographic blur of frequencies, and if the brain is also a hologram and only selects some of the frequencies out of this blur and mathematically transforms them into sensory perceptions, what becomes of objective reality?

Put quite simply, it ceases to exist. As the religions of the East have long upheld, the material world is Maya, a kind of superficial illusion, and although we may think we are physical beings moving through a physical world, this too may be more a sensory illusion than objective reality.

We may actually be "receivers" floating through a kaleidoscopic sea of frequency, and what we extract from this sea and transmogrify into physical reality is but one channel from many extracted out of the superhologram.

The Holographic Paradigm

This striking new picture of reality, the synthesis of Bohm and Pribram's views, has come to be called the holographic paradigm, and although many scientists have greeted it with skepticism, it has galvanized others.

A small but growing group of researchers believe it may be the most accurate model of reality science has arrived at thus far. More than that, some believe it may solve some mysteries that have never before been explainable by science and even establish the paranormal as a part of nature. Numerous researchers, including Bohm and Pribram, have noted that many para-psychological phenomena become much more understandable in terms of the holographic paradigm.

In a universe in which individual brains are actually indivisible portions of the greater hologram and everything is infinitely interconnected, telepathy may merely be the accessing of the holographic level.

With this model, it is obviously much easier to understand how information can travel from the mind of individual 'A' to that of individual 'B' at a far distance point, and to understand a number of other unsolved puzzles in psychology.

In particular, psychiatric researcher Dr. Stanislav Grof feels the holographic paradigm offers a model for understanding many of the baffling phenomena experienced by individuals during altered states of consciousness.

In the 1950s, while conducting research into the use of LSD as a psychotherapeutic tool, Grof had one female patient who suddenly became convinced she had assumed the identity of a female of a species of prehistoric reptile. During the course of her hallucination, she not only gave a richly detailed description of what it felt like to be encapsuled in such a form, but noted that the sexually arousing portion of the male of the species' anatomy was a patch of colored scales on the side of its head.

What was startling to Grof was that although the woman had no prior knowledge about such things, a conversation with a zoologist later confirmed that in certain species of reptiles, colored areas on the head do indeed play an important role as triggers of sexual arousal.

The woman's experience was not unique. During the course of his research, Grof encountered examples of patients regressing and identifying with virtually every species on the evolutionary tree (research findings which helped influence the man-into-ape scene in the movie Altered States). Moreover, he found that such experiences frequently contained obscure zoological details which turned out to be accurate.

Regressions into the animal kingdom were not the only puzzling psychological phenomena Grof encountered. He also had patients who appeared to tap into some sort of collective or racial unconscious. Individuals with little or no education suddenly gave detailed descriptions of Zoroastrian funerary practices and scenes from Hindu mythology. In other categories of experience, individuals gave persuasive accounts of out-of-body journeys, of precognitive glimpses of the future, of regressions into apparent past-life incarnations.

In later research, Grof found the same range of phenomena manifested in therapy sessions which did not involve the use of drugs. Because the common element in such experiences appeared to be the transcending of an individual's consciousness beyond the usual boundaries of ego and/or limitations of space and time, Grof called such manifestations "transpersonal experiences", and in the late '60s he helped found a branch of psychology called transpersonal psychology devoted entirely to their study.

Although Grof's newly founded Association of Transpersonal Psychology garnered a rapidly growing group of like-minded professionals and has become a respected branch of psychology, for years neither Grof or any of his colleagues were able to offer a mechanism for explaining the bizarre psychological phenomena they were witnessing. But that has changed with the advent of the holographic paradigm.

As Grof recently noted, if the mind is actually part of a continuum, a labyrinth that is connected not only to every other mind that exists or has existed, but to every atom, organism, and region in the vastness of space and time itself, the fact that it is able to occasionally make forays into the labyrinth and have transpersonal experiences no longer seems so strange.

Connecting Hard Science With the Holographic Paradigm

The holographic paradigm also has implications for so-called hard sciences like biology. Keith Floyd, a psychologist at Virginia Intermont College, has pointed out that if the concreteness of reality is but a holographic illusion, it would no longer be true to say the brain produces consciousness. Rather, it is consciousness that creates the appearance of the brain -- as well as the body and everything else around us we interpret as physical.

Such a turnabout in the way we view biological structures has caused researchers to point out that medicine and our understanding of the healing process could also be transformed by the holographic paradigm. If the apparent physical structure of the body is but a holographic projection of consciousness, it becomes clear that each of us is much more responsible for our health than current medical wisdom allows.

What we now view as miraculous remissions of disease may actually be due to changes in consciousness which in turn effect changes in the hologram of the body. Similarly, controversial new healing techniques such as visualization may work so well because, in the holographic domain of thought, images can ultimately be as real as "reality".

Even visions and experiences involving "non-ordinary" reality become explainable under the holographic paradigm. In his intriguing book "Gifts of Unknown Things," biologist Lyall Watson describes his encounter with an Indonesian shaman woman who, by performing a ritual dance, was able to make an entire grove of trees instantly vanish into thin air. Watson relates that as he and another astonished onlooker continued to watch the woman, she caused the trees to reappear, then "click" off again and on again several times in succession.

Although current scientific understanding is incapable of explaining such events, experiences like this become more tenable if "hard" reality is only a holographic projection. Perhaps we agree on what is "there" or "not there" because what we call consensus reality is formulated and ratified at the level of the human unconscious at which all minds are infinitely interconnected.

Limitless Implications

If this is true, it is the most profound implication of the holographic paradigm of all, for it means that experiences such as Watson's are not commonplace only because we have not programmed our minds with the beliefs that would make them so. In a holographic universe there are no limits to the extent to which we can alter the fabric of reality.

What we perceive as reality may be but a canvas waiting for us to draw upon it any picture we want. Anything is possible, from bending spoons with the power of the mind to the phantasmagoric events experienced by Castaneda during his encounters with the Yaqui brujo don Juan, for magic is our birthright, no more or less miraculous than our ability to compute the reality we want when we are in our dreams.

Indeed, even our most fundamental notions about reality become suspect, for in a holographic universe, as Pribram has pointed out, even random events would have to be seen as based on holographic principles and therefore determined. Synchronicities or meaningful coincidences suddenly makes sense, and everything in reality would have to be seen as a metaphor, for even the most haphazard events would express some underlying symmetry.

Whether Bohm and Pribram's holographic paradigm becomes accepted in science or dies an ignoble death remains to be seen, but it is safe to say that it has already had an influence on the thinking of many scientists.

And even if it is found that the holographic model does not provide the best explanation for the instantaneous communications that seem to be passing back and forth between subatomic particles, at the very least, as noted by Basil Hiley, a physicist at Birbeck College in London, Aspect's findings "indicate that we must be prepared to consider radically new views of reality".

 



"Michael Moore's Action Plan: 15 Things Every American Can Do Right Now"

You've Seen the Movie -- Now It's Time to ACT!

Friends,

It's the #1 question I'm constantly asked after people see my movie: "OK -- so NOW what can I DO?!"

You want something to do? Well, you've come to the right place! 'Cause I got 15 things you and I can do right now to fight back and try to fix this very broken system.

Here they are:

FIVE THINGS WE DEMAND THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS DO IMMEDIATELY:

1. Declare a moratorium on all home evictions. Not one more family should be thrown out of their home. The banks must adjust their monthly mortgage payments to be in line with what people's homes are now truly worth -- and what they can afford. Also, it must be stated by law: If you lose your job, you cannot be tossed out of your home.

2. Congress must join the civilized world and expand Medicare For All Americans. A single, nonprofit source must run a universal health care system that covers everyone. Medical bills are now the #1 cause of bankruptcies and evictions in this country. Medicare For All will end this misery. The bill to make this happen is H.R. 3200 -- but this bill is worthless without the amendment from Rep. Anthony Weiner that will bring us closer to the real bill that should be passed: H.R. 676. You must call AND write your members of Congress and demand that they support this amendment, no compromises allowed.

3. Demand publicly-funded elections and a prohibition on elected officials leaving office and becoming lobbyists. Yes, those very members of Congress who solicit and receive millions of dollars from wealthy interests must vote to remove ALL money from our electoral and legislative process. Tell your members of Congress they must support campaign finance bill H.R.1826.

4. Each of the 50 states must create a state-owned public bank like they have in North Dakota. Then congress MUST reinstate all the strict pre-Reagan regulations on all commercial banks, investment firms, insurance companies -- and all the other industries that have been savaged by deregulation: Airlines, the food industry, pharmaceutical companies -- you name it. If a company's primary motive to exist is to make a profit, then it needs a set of stringent rules to live by -- and the first rule is "Do no harm." The second rule: The question must always be asked -- "Is this for the common good?" (Click here for some info about the state-owned Bank of North Dakota.)

5. Save this fragile planet and declare that all the energy resources above and beneath the ground are owned collectively by all of us. Just like they do it in Sarah Palin's socialist Alaska. We only have a few decades of oil left. The public must be the owners and landlords of the natural resources and energy that exists within our borders or we will descend further into corporate anarchy. And when it comes to burning fossil fuels to transport ourselves, we must cease using the internal combustion engine and instruct our auto/transportation companies to rehire our skilled workforce and build mass transit (clean buses, light rail, subways, bullet trains, etc.) and new cars that don't contribute to climate change. (For more on this, here's a proposal I wrote in December.) Demand that General Motors' de facto chairman, Barack Obama, issue a JFK man-on-the-moon-style challenge to turn our country into a nation of trains and buses and subways. For Pete's sake, people, we were the ones who invented (or perfected) these damn things in the first place!!

FIVE THINGS WE CAN DO TO MAKE CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT LISTEN TO US:

1. Each of us must get into the daily habit of taking 5 minutes to make four brief calls: One to the President (202-456-1414), one to your Congressperson (202-224-3121) and one to each of your two Senators (202-224-3121). To find out who represents you, click here. Take just one minute on each of these calls to let them know how you expect them to vote on a particular issue. Let them know you will have no hesitation voting for a primary opponent -- or even a candidate from another party -- if they don't do our bidding. Trust me, they will listen. If you have another five minutes, click here to send them each an email. And if you really want to drop an anvil on them, send them a snail mail letter!

2. Take over your local Democratic Party. Remember how much fun you had with all those friends and neighbors working together to get Barack Obama elected? YOU DID THE IMPOSSIBLE. It's time to re-up! Get everyone back together and go to the monthly meeting of your town or county Democratic Party -- and become the majority that runs it! There will not be many in attendance and they will either be happy or in shock that you and the Obama Revolution have entered the room looking like you mean business. President Obama's agenda will never happen without mass grass roots action -- and he won't feel encouraged to do the right thing if no one has his back, whether it's to stand with him, or push him in the right direction. When you all become the local Democratic Party, send me a photo of the group and I'll post it on my website.

3. Recruit someone to run for office who can win in your local elections next year -- or, better yet, consider running for office yourself! You don't have to settle for the incumbent who always expects to win. You can be our next representative! Don't believe it can happen? Check out these examples of regular citizens who got elected: State Senator Deb Simpson, California State Assemblyman Isadore Hall, Tempe, Arizona City Councilman Corey Woods, Wisconsin State Assemblyman Chris Danou, and Washington State Representative Larry Seaquist. The list goes on and on -- and you should be on it!

4. Show up. Picket the local branch of a big bank that took the bailout money. Hold vigils and marches. Consider civil disobedience. Those town hall meetings are open to you, too (and there's more of us than there are of them!). Make some noise, have some fun, get on the local news. Place "Capitalism Did This" signs on empty foreclosed homes, closed down businesses, crumbling schools and infrastructure. (You can download them from my website.)

5. Start your own media. You. Just you (or you and a couple friends). The mainstream media is owned by corporate America and, with few exceptions, it will never tell the whole truth -- so you have to do it! Start a blog! Start a website of real local news (here's an example: The Michigan Messenger). Tweet your friends and use Facebook to let them know what they need to do politically. The daily papers are dying. If you don't fill that void, who will?

FIVE THINGS WE SHOULD DO TO PROTECT OURSELVES AND OUR LOVED ONES UNTIL WE GET THROUGH THIS MESS:

1. Take your money out of your bank if it took bailout money and place it in a locally-owned bank or, preferably, a credit union.

2. Get rid of all your credit cards but one -- the kind where you have to pay up at the end of the month or you lose your card.

3. Do not invest in the stock market. If you have any extra cash, put it away in a savings account or, if you can, pay down on your mortgage so you can own your home as soon as possible. You can also buy very safe government savings bonds or T-bills. Or just buy your mother some flowers.

4. Unionize your workplace so that you and your coworkers have a say in how your business is run. Here's how to do it (more info here). Nothing is more American than democracy, and democracy shouldn't be checked at the door when you enter your workplace. Another way to Americanize your workplace is to turn your business into a worker-owned cooperative. You are not a wage slave. You are a free person, and you giving up eight hours of your life every day to someone else is to be properly compensated and respected.

5. Take care of yourself and your family. Sorry to go all Oprah on you, but she's right: Find a place of peace in your life and make the choice to be around people who are not full of negativity and cynicism. Look for those who nurture and love. Turn off the TV and the Blackberry and go for a 30-minute walk every day. Eat fruits and vegetables and cut down on anything that has sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour or too much sodium (salt) in it (and, as Michael Pollan says, "Eat (real) food, not too much, mostly plants"). Get seven hours of sleep each night and take the time to read a book a month. I know this sounds like I've turned into your grandma, but, dammit, take a good hard look at Granny -- she's fit, she's rested and she knows the names of both of her U.S. Senators without having to Google them. We might do well to listen to her. If we don't put our own "oxygen mask" on first (as they say on the airplane), we will be of no use to the rest of the nation in enacting any of this action plan!

I'm sure there are many other ideas you can come up with on how we can build this movement. Get creative. Think outside the politics-as-usual box. BE SUBVERSIVE! Think of that local action no one else has tried. Behave as if your life depended on it. Be bold! Try doing something with reckless abandon. It may just liberate you and your community and your nation.

And when you act, send me your stories, your photos and your video -- and be sure to post your ideas in the comments beneath this letter on my site so they can be shared with millions.

C'mon people -- we can do this! I expect nothing less of all of you, my true and trusted fellow travelers!

Yours,
Michael Moore

UPDATE: My position that a single-payer system is the only solution to the health care crisis remains the same. I do not support H.R. 3200 unless it includes Rep. Anthony Weiner's amendment, which would essentially gut H.R. 3200 and replace it with Rep. John Conyers Jr.'s H.R. 676. In July, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised Rep. Weiner an up or down vote on his amendment before the end of the year. At that moment this became our best chance for a single-payer, universal health care plan for all. In the heat of the health care debate, strategies change from day to day, but as it stands right now, Rep. Weiner's amendment to H.R. 3200 is the best chance we have at achieving a single-payer system in the U.S. This is the same position held by the foremost activist groups for a single-payer health care plan: Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), The California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, and Healthcare-NOW! Let's ride his Trojan horse out of this mess. Write your congressmembers to demand that they support Rep. Weiner’s amendment. One thing remains clear: No health care system will be safe until every for-profit insurance company has been removed from it.


 



Things I Learned Back In South Africa

by Meinhardt Greeff
(as relayed to friends on the Internet)
 
After hearing a lot people moaning, and groaning, and whimpering over the past few weeks, I decided to write some things down that I learnt in harder times back in South Africa. I'm not sure if the list is useful to anyone else, but here goes:
 
* Fear, paranoia, anger, and hatred, are forms of self-imprisonment. If I react emotionally to a political situation, I am in the same paradigm as the thing I am responding to. I am - literally - the way I think.
 
* If every act I make is based on the presupposition that people are innately good, I contribute to the glue that holds society together. This social outcome is true whether or not my supposition is true or not.
 
* Taking people at face value - assuming that what they say and do is what they actually mean - saves a lot of time. Second-guessing people's motives is a waste of time, and keeps me imprisoned in someone else's paradigm.
 
* Everyone acts according to a personal mythology. The rawness of unfiltered Reality is too overpowering for the mind and senses. Accordingly, forgive everyone their foibles.
 
* If my brother eats, I am safe.
 
* Elephants are bigger than me.
 
* Never stand upwind of a herd of African Water Buffalo.
 
* I am only useful to myself, my family, or my society, if I am sane and healthy.
 
* Sanity is non-attachment.
 
* I am a better problem-solver if am not emotionally attached to the problem or the outcome of the problem. C'est la vie.
 
* Most things we call problems are just puzzles.
 
* All forms of self-centeredness are toxic.
 
* Everyone wants to feel useful.
 
* I cannot outrun a bullet.
 
* Every day I wake up, I can create something.
 
* Social interaction is activism.
 
* Material security is a myth.
 
* Don't buy a car that needs more than a spanner, a screwdriver, and a woman's stocking to repair.
 
* If I was paid what I am worth, my boss would never make a profit.
 
* Money is a poor exchange for time.
 
* Human meat looks the same as cow meat.
 
* The Hydrochloric acid in a human stomach enables humans to digest almost anything organic.
 
* Being awake is not the same as being aware.
 
* All debts will be paid in this lifetime. Whether one likes it or not.
 
* If a deposit in a bank ever made more than the rate of inflation, the bank would not make a profit.
 
* If you can trust an arsehole to cover your back when the bullets are flying, he's not an arsehole. He's your friend.
 
* Rich people are not smarter than poor people.
 
* Most people work at providing services, or creating objects, that are "nice to have" rather than "have to have" in terms of human survival.
 
* If one removed electricity from the world, verily "the last shall be first, and the first last". So be nice to the Bushmen.
 
* Our collective problem is not that there is not enough energy but, rather, that we are too stupid to release potential energy.
 
* Perceived value is economically more expensive than actual value.
 
* If I allow people to label me, they will relate only to the label.
 
* People do because they believe they can.
 
* If a nation's border has a straight line, the line was probably drawn in Europe.
 
* If man were naturally warlike, there would be no mankind.
 
* A baby doesn't care who holds it. It just likes to be close to someone. The same goes for adults.
 
* Baboons in captivity masturbate a lot.

We can move homepage vision pieces inside as necessary when we need room. We can send back the Maaharishi stuff first.

 

ALEX PEACEMAKER at Peacemaker Records is an advocate of the native people of what is now British Columbia. He sends this photo of a newborn Sinixt child whom the Canadian government does not officially recognize, and writes:

 "The Sinixt people are the original inhabitants of the area now called the West Kootenays, BC, Canada. They are the Mother Tribe of all the vast Salishan dispersion and they record themselves living in the Upper Columbia River Basin region, as human beings, for about two million years.  There is scientific evidence they have been here for at least 60,000 years. Sinixt is pronounced Sin Eye X T.

"A colonial genocide was committed against the Sinixt.  A bounty was put on them, man, woman and child. Then the government of Canada declared the surviving Sinixt 'extinct.' Being declared 'extinct' means the Sinixt have no legal entitlement to an Indian Status card, or a Social Insurance Number, or a medical CareCard,  -  Sinixt children are not entitled to a public school or college education.  This makes the Sinixt economic fringe-dwellers in the midst of Canadian Second World prosperity."

While a Sinixt website is being developed, read their history via a university in Germany.
 



MEMORIES OF MAHARISHI

 
 
THE THREE MAHARISHIS
Deepak Chopra
February 6th, 2008
 
 
Even though I last sat with Maharishi more than ten years ago, he left an
indelible impression, as he did on everyone. His extraordinary qualities are
known to the world. Without him, it's fair to say, the West would not have
learned to meditate. During the Cold War era a reporter once challenged him
by saying, "If anything is possible, as you claim, can you go to the Soviet
Union tomorrow with your message?" Without hesitation, Maharishi calmly
replied, "I could if I wanted to." Eventually he did want to, and meditation
arrived in Moscow several years before the Berlin Wall fell. In his belief
that world peace depended entirely on rising consciousness, Maharishi was
unshakable.
 
The Bhagavad-Gita declares that there are no outward signs of enlightenment.
The point is underscored in many Indian fables and scriptures, which often
take the form of a high-caste worthy snubbing an untouchable, only to find
that the untouchable was actually a god in disguise. For his part, Maharishi
had three guises, and perhaps in the end they were also disguises.
 
He was an Indian, a guru, and a personality. The personality was highly
quixotic. Over the fifty years of his public life, Maharishi never lost his
charm and lovability. He had these qualities to such an extent that
Westerners took him to be a perfect example of how enlightenment looks --
kind, sociable, all-accepting, and light-hearted -- when that is far from
the case. His presence was more mysterious than good humor can account for:
you could feel it before entering a room. You could be walking down the
hallway to his private apartments with the weight of the world on your
shoulders and feel your worries drop away with every step, until by the time
your hand touched the doorknob, by some magic you felt completely carefree.
But if you were around him long enough, the older Maharishi in particular
could be nettlesome and self-centered; he could get angry and dismissive. He
was quick to assert his authority and yet could turn disarmingly child-like
in the blink of an eye.
 
The Maharishi who was an Indian felt most comfortable around other Indians,
with whom he chatted about familiar things in Hindi. He adhered to the vows
of poverty and celibacy that belonged to his order of monks, despite the
fact that he lived in luxury and amassed considerable wealth for the TM
movement. What gets overlooked is that he viewed wealth as a means to raise
the prestige of India in the materialistic West, which was both canny and
realistic of him. In the end the movement's money went to preserve the
spiritual heritage of India by opening pundit schools and building temples.
Maharishi was deeply concerned that he might be the last embodiment of a
sacred tradition that was quickly being overwhelmed by modernization.
 
In one way or another, for good or ill, these two Maharishis are the only
ones that the outside world knew. If you came under the power of his
consciousness, however, Maharishi the guru completely overshadowed every
other aspect. It's shameful to say, but gurus are a dime a dozen in India
and are often treated like retainers by the rich and powerful. Nothing could
be farther from the truth in Maharishi's case. He was venerated by the
venerable and considered holy by the holy. His capacity to explain Vedanta
was unrivaled, and if he accomplished nothing else in his long life, his
commentary on the Bhagavad-Gita insures his lasting name, because with acute
analysis he cuts through to the heart of every verse. Imagine that someone
arose in the West who definitively settled all the disputes over the New
testament and went on to exemplify the nature of Jesus. Then you might get
some idea of Maharishi's impact as a guru.
 
Around 1990 I was commissioned to write a book about him; it turned out to
be the only assignment I could never complete. Even after spending hundreds
of days in his presence, one could not capture him, either on paper or in
one's mind. The Gita is right to say that there are no visible signs of
enlightenment, but I would go further. The enlightened person ceases to be a
person and attains a connection to pure consciousness that erases all
boundaries. My deepest gratitude goes to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for showing
me that this state of unity exists outside folk tales, temples, organized
religion, and scripture itself. To live and breathe in unity consciousness
is unfathomable, but in at least one case, I am sure it is real.

THE GIGGLING GURU
By Gotham Chopra
February 06, 2008
 
 
One of the more interesting parts of "growing up Chopra," was the range of
people my sister and I were exposed to -- from celebrities to heads of state
to Nobel laureates and all the rest. As a teenager growing up in Boston, the
emotional response to these experiences ranged from titillation (Madonna) to
indifference (Elizabeth Taylor), to total fascination (Michael Jackson). But
the most memorable was the little Indian Guru that over the years became a
symbol of something very primordial to my whole family.
 
I remember the first time my parents dragged my sister and I to meet
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is some rural outpost in India outside of New Delhi. I
was about 11 years old and I hated them for it. "Drag" is the literal case
here because it was 1986 and the Boston Celtics (my boyhood favorite team)
were on the run to the NBA Championship. Alas my parents decided that we
needed to travel to the old country to see our grandparents and visit the
ashram of some old Beatles Guru that they had become enamored with. This
caused considerable family friction: if Larry Bird was my Luke Skywalker,
the dude known as Maharishi had literally just become my Darth Vadar.
 
In those days, India was not the bustling land of plenty and opportunity it
is today. Getting to India in the first place was a hell of an ordeal.
Getting to Noida where Maharishi's ashram was involved taking a convoy out
to what appeared to be the sticks. The upshot was that almost since my
father's first encounter with Maharishi, he had been mysteriously seemingly
anointed "the chosen one" by the "movement" that surrounded the Guru and
hence we were treated with an overt sense of deference and importance. In
India this meant getting an escort of Maruti cars from Delhi to Noida almost
upon landing at the airport in the middle of the night.
 
That was just the beginning of the mysterious journey. Once we we arrived in
the ashram, a quiet compound awash with candlelight and the fragrance of
fresh flowers, we were sequestered to a room where we waited, and waited,
and waited. It was truly an exercise in patience and endurance, to wait for
hour on end in pursuit of an encounter that meant nothing to me.
 
Finally, about 9 hours in, I was handed an ice cream cone by one of the
movement handlers and we were escorted into a massive auditorium where a few
thousand people seemed to be seated. At the head, atop an flower covered
pedestal sat the diminutive Maharishi. As the VIPS that we were, we were
ushered to the front row and seated in full view of "his holiness." He
seemed to be midstream on a long dissertation about the meaning of life
which to my 11 year old brain, really didn't register as highly important.
He didn't as much as blink upon our entrance, take an extra breath or make
an aside glance to acknowledge our presence. He just droned on.
 
But then, a moment later, he stopped. And he stared down at the four of us,
my parents, sister, and I. It was as if he had stopped mid-sentence,
mid-thought even. And he just stared at me. And pointed at me. Despite my 11
year old hubris, I was shrewd enough to know that this was a big deal and
all of a sudden the glare of the spotlight burned right through me.
Maharishi paused and spoke into his microphone, "come here, you can?"
 
I stared at my father unsure what to do. "Go, go..." He urged.
 
I gestured to my older sister Mallika to come with me and she just shook her
head. "Go dummy," she whispered.
 
So with the hushed glared of a thousand eyes on my back I staggered forward
awkwardly.
 
After a seeming eternity, I stood in front of the great Maharishi. I knew
from the Indian comic books that I collected that you were supposed to bow
down and touch the feet in a show of respect to these old Sadhus. Not sure
what else to do, I started to get down to my knees, balancing my ice cream
cone in my hands.
 
Maharishi laughed and reached out and stopped me. "No...no...no..." he
giggled. "Americans do not bow down at the feet of anyone," he said.
 
I stared at him awkwardly not sure how to respond, holding my ice cream cone
tenuously. "Um, I'm not really American..." I divulged the great discomfort
of my upbringing as the son of a an immigrant raised in America, the only
brown Celtics fan I really knew.
 
"Indian?" Maharishi giggled back at me.
 
"Not really..." the flip side of my identity conflict was now out in the
open for everyone to see.
 
Maharishi nodded slowly. I looked in his eyes. There was a gentleness to
them, something very comfortable that put you at ease.
 
"Then what are you?" He inquired.
 
"Um..." I stammered. "Um, I don't know. I guess I am...I'm just uh. I guess
I just am...?"
 
And he started to laugh again, this sweet innocent infectious laugh.
 
"All these years," he started to speak. "I have meditated and studied," he
giggled even louder, "to come upon this revelation that you already know!"
 
"We just are!" He put his hand on my head. "You are a very wise boy just
like your name Gautama."
 
He then grinned, the same way I see my little baby son grin in the morning
now when we wake up together over 20 years later from that moment. "Now,
will you share your ice cream with me?!"
 
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi will be remembered as one of the great modern teachers
and yogis of this era, a true Guru in every sense of the word for the
millions of lives that he touched. His wisdom will be missed but surely
leave a legacy for generations to come. That's all nice and good, but to me,
he'll always be the sweet old man, with the sweet old giggle, that gave me a
special moment when I least expected it and with whom I shared my ice cream.
And btw, he loved chocolate ice cream just like me.

GROWING UP WITH MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI
By Mallika Chopra
February 06, 2008
 
 
I learned transcendental meditation when I was 9. I think I met Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi for the first time when I was 13, and for the next decade he was
a major influence in my life. I remember sitting for endless hours with
Maharishi -- sometimes in crowds of thousands of people, others times just
with my parents and brother. Because of my father¹s (Deepak Chopra)
relationship with him, Maharishi was someone we knew, rather than someone we
idolized.
 
When you were with Maharishi, it truly was like time did not exist. There
was a sense of connection to something deeper. Maharishi was a visionary. He
always spoke in grand, universal, mythic terms. Numbers were always
infinite, possibilities endless, nothing too difficult to accomplish. He
would talk about changing the world in sweeping terms, and then suddenly,
focus on some minute detail. Since people from so many walks of life came to
Maharishi, those endless hours were full of individuals who did different
things, who came from every corner of the earth. Maharishi spoke a universal
language that resonated with all of them. His language touched people¹s
souls. You could tune in and out of what he said, and still feel like you
were experiencing something truly monumental.
 
As a young girl, I did not understand most of what was talked about, but I
wanted to be there. I felt inspired, energetic, motivated and at peace. When
we left him, I would run and shyly give him a rose, and he would give me a
smile that always made me laugh.
 
Maharashi would talk with his sweet voice and then giggle ­ a giggle that
then erupted into a wave of laughter that tickled those in his presence at
their very souls. I will always remember the laughter around Maharishi.
Around him, I felt happy and free and timeless. Even though I was shy, I
could laugh with abandon ­ a laughter that was so uplifting.
 
I remember very clearly the evening my mother called me to tell me that she
and my father had left Maharishi ­ for good. I was a senior at Brown
University, and to me it was quite devastating because his presence had, in
many ways, formed my identity. But, upon reflection, it was the natural step
in a mythical relationship between a guru (Maharishi) and his disciple (my
father). The comic books that my brother and I had read growing up had the
same theme over and over again. At some time, the guru says good-bye, and
the disciple moves on.
 
That evening, I went and got a red rose and headed to the local TM Center in
Providence. The people there had always welcomed me as a daughter, and it
had proved to be a quiet haven for me throughout college. I sat in the
meditation room, the rose in my hand, and meditated for over an hour. When I
came out of my meditation, I felt a tremendous sense of strength and peace.
 
I realized in that moment the wonderful gift that Maharishi had given me ­
the ability to connect to myself, to love myself, to laugh and feel
connected to something universal.
 
Yesterday, when my father called to say that Maharishi had left, I felt that
peace again. It has been more than 10 years since I last saw him, but his
gift is still with me. When my father taught my elder daughter to meditate
last summer, Maharishi¹s gift was passed on to her.
 
Today, I plan to spread rose petals around my house with my two little
girls. To honor Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, we will meditate and cuddle and play.
And, most importantly, we will smile and laugh and celebrate.

Stillness: Purpose and Practice
Created by The Stillness Foundation
 
The purpose of the Stillness is to achieve attunement with the indwelling
presence of God. Stillness is a process and not the achievement of
attunement itself. Attunement is an alignment with the will of God and a
door to peaceful inner living while strengthening one's inner resolve to
overcome life difficulties with optimism. Obtaining alignment within the
presence and will of God is not done without some effort to coordinate the
intellectual self with the spiritual self. Constant practice of 10 or 15
minutes is recommended on a daily basis to establish the habit.
 
Stillness is any time you spend with God. However, it may be perceived only
as the one phase perhaps best recognized as "silent listening." Many people
may wish to spend time with God in stillness, but they really don't know
how or where to begin. To help you get started, Stillness is explained in a
seven steps process. While these steps are not necessary, they can be very
helpful in getting you focused on building your relationship with God and
to incorporate Stillness into your daily routine. With regular practice,
relaxing and stilling your mind can be achieved very quickly.
 
 
Practice: The Seven Steps of Stillness:
 
STEP 1: Physical Relaxation. Being physically relaxed is very important. If
you are not, discomfort and/or pain will
disturb your Stillness. Select a quiet room where you will not be
disturbed. Ensure that you won't feel cold. We
recommend sitting, feet flat on the floor, legs uncrossed, and arms and
hands draped comfortably on the arms of a chair
or on your lap. Take several deep breaths and release them slowly. Let your
body thoroughly unwind. Close your eyes. If
you are properly relaxed, you should only be aware of your breathing, your
heartbeat and your thoughts.
 
STEP 2: Mental Stillness. This step may be the most difficult. The mind is
naturally active. Thoughts about the worries of the day, making plans for
tomorrow, even fears and anxieties can all come rushing in. You must tell
your mind to "be still!" Tell it you want to spend some time in the company
of God and that you will get back to these other thoughts later. Take
control of your mind. Don't focus on any of these thoughts. Let them go or
tell them to leave for now. If they recur say, "be still," and take another
deep breath. When your mind is still, direct it toward the spirit of God
within you. Now you are ready to begin your dialogue with God.
 
STEP 3: Dialogue with God. God is the best friend, wisest counselor, and
most loving parent you can ever have. Imagine you are in God's company and
begin to talk about the day. Share the good and not so good experiences
with Him. Tell Him about experiences or behavior you don't understand.
Share some of the good times even if they were just brief moments when
someone smiled at you or was kind to you. Just as you would share your day
with a spouse or a close companion, share it with God. You do the talking
(silently, of course); God is doing the listening.
 
STEP 4: Prayer. As you think about your dialogue with God and share your
experiences of the day with Him, you should get plenty of food for prayer.
When you see someone who is troubled, confused, feeling unhappy or unloved,
ask yourself what they need. Then, pray that it will be given to them. When
you see someone who lacks insight into a situation, whether it is their own
or another's behavior, pray they be given understanding. Everyone needs
help, and so everyone needs prayer. Forget the lotto numbers and miraculous
cures and focus on what will heal their soul, what will lead them to God.
As you pray for them, picture them in your mind surrounded by light and love.
 
STEP 5: Worship. Unlike prayer, worship asks for nothing in return. Worship
is simply giving thanks and even praise to God for all the good in our
lives. Many people think their life is not very good because they only
focus on the material/physical level of existence. Look beyond these and
focus on a moment in your life when you were thankful to someone for
helping you or someone was very thankful to you for helping them. While
focusing on the feeling of thankfulness, realize that all the good in your
life comes from God. Thank Him for the positive things in your life, for
life itself. Know that in time the struggle of this life will pass and you
will move on to live in a universe dominated by truth, beauty and goodness.
 
STEP 6: Silent Listening. Now listen to God, focus on the inner voice. You
will not hear a booming voice telling you what to do. We all wish it were
that easy. Find the mental stillness. Sense that God is trying to talk to
you but from afar and so His message will be subtly and faintly perceived.
You may not think you have received anything at this time. But later,
tomorrow, or in a few days as you are going about your activities, suddenly
an answer will flash into your mind. Or, someone may say the words you need
to hear or you might read them in a book. It takes a while sometimes for
God's message to get through the static layers of consciousness of our
minds. But rest assured, He will answer you.
 
STEP 7: The Embrace. Conclude your Stillness session by basking in the
presence and love of God. You don't have to say or do anything. See
yourself in the most beautiful and loving situation you have ever
experienced or imagined. Realize that God is the creator of this loving
feeling and your destiny is to live in that love forever. Let God's love
wash away your fear and troubles. See yourself happy, smiling and full of
love for yourself and others. If you wish, you can conclude your Stillness
session by saying a prayer or silently singing your favorite song of love
within your mind. As you do, realize God is the source of all true love. He
is the love of your life.

 


A Fable of Planetary Transformation

Crafted by the Transformation Team
 
Once upon a time in a far away corner of the universe in the outer reaches of a medium-sized spiral galaxy, there was a beautiful blue-green planet whose inquisitive inhabitants named their world Earth. Many different peoples inhabited this planet teeming with abundant lifeforms. They had come to learn the many difficult, yet rewarding lessons of exploring in physical bodies what it is like to feel separate and disconnected from their own divine essence and from all around them.
 
The collective consciousness of all people on Earth greatly affected everything that happened on this revolving planet. Yet because of their explorations into separateness, the vast majority of these people – or humans as they called themselves – were unaware of how their collective will formed their world. In order to learn the deep wisdom of this Earth school or Univers-city, these humans had chosen to forget how in their deepest essence they were all interconnected and how every individual played an essential role in what happened on their planet and to their people as a whole.
 
Over the ages and through thousands upon thousands of revolutions of this jewel of a planet around its shining golden sun, the people of Earth explored, developed, and expanded their awareness through many rich, beautiful, and sometimes even painful experiences. Through the rich drama and challenging lessons of many ages and lifetimes, they several times grew close to the point of feeling again their deep interconnectedness with all beings. Yet each time they came close, that awareness then contracted and was eventually shut down by their collective fear of losing individuality and uniqueness.
 
After several cycles of this expansion and contraction, at one point in a new expansion phase, the collective mind grew so intelligent as to permit humankind for the first time to soar beyond the gravitational confines of Earth in shiny, metallic spaceships. The collective knowledge of the physical world in which they lived grew so deep that certain individuals began to see visions of a major transformation leading to physical paradise on Earth. At the same time, many others greatly feared that these new mental abilities and sophisticated technologies would be used by the militaries and greedy elite to destroy the very life and world in which they lived.
 
As their collective hopes and fears grew like never before, many humans dedicated to global transformation joined together in a deep prayer about their lives and world. So for the first time in the planet's history, a powerful collective call was sent out to the universe requesting help and guidance for the struggling planet and its people to move beyond separation, selfishness, and greed towards loving, empowering transformation and integration. For the first time, humanity as a whole opened to connection and help from the great universe beyond the physical confines of their world.
 
Their prayer was heard.
 
In the vast and varied collection of civilizations and species spread throughout the infinite universe, the call for help from this small, beautiful planet was heard. Unbeknownst to the people of Earth, there existed in the universe a special team made up of millions of caring souls from various planets, galaxies, and even dimensions. This loving team had dedicated themselves specifically to serve and support the inhabitants of developing planets who requested help in times of crisis and transition.
 
The vibrant souls of this intergalactic transformation team were committed to work together with the local transformation team of any planet that called for help in creating more nurturing, life-enhancing ways of living and growing. This loving team was activated by the collective call from Earth.
 
Feeling the call for help almost like a fireman on Earth responding to an alarm, the excited souls of the transformation team came together to focus their attention on this beautiful world in crisis. They opened their hearts and souls to the people there. They learned of the ways of humankind and became familiar with the challenges the people of Earth found themselves facing. While some agreed to observe and provide guidance from a distance, millions of these souls agreed to be born in human bodies and – like other humans – to forget where they came from, so that they might fully experience being human and more effectively provide help and guidance to humankind.
 
Being born into human bodies and human families without memory of their origin, almost all of these transformation team members felt the many pains and joys of growing up while often feeling separate and isolated from those around them. Some even chose to go through serious traumas with their human families in order to develop deeper compassion. Others simply felt alone and bewildered, unable to comprehend why those around them couldn't see that love interconnects us all. At times, all of them felt they didn't belong and sensed an inner calling to some greater purpose.
 
As these dedicated transformation team members grew spiritually and the crisis facing the planet intensified, magical things began to happen. Key writings, dreams, mystical experiences, and even inspiring fables began to awaken members of the transformation team to their deeper purpose.
 
For some the awakening was gradual, while for others a powerful, unexpected single event lifted the veil. Collectively, members of the transformation team began to remember why they came to Earth. They found themselves spontaneously connecting with other wise humans who were part of the transformation team and who further helped to awaken and inspire them. Their fears and feeling of separation gradually faded as they became increasingly excited to remember their deeper purpose, and to find themselves now playing an integral role in this empowering planetary transition.
 
Eventually, all members of the transformation team awoke. Upon awakening, a new, bright sparkle danced from their eyes. It was a sparkle of knowingness. Knowing that all of us are already interconnected in a divine cosmic dance. Knowing that the joy of love is always there inside when any soul truly opens to it. Knowing that the team's purpose is not to save anyone, but rather to simply be a loving invitation and inspiration to all around them. Knowing that uniqueness and individuality are welcome even in the interconnectedness of all beings. Knowing that when the people of a planet send out a collective call for help, the transformation team always answers. Knowing that the team never fails to give powerful, inspiring guidance to help make it through even the most daunting crisis.
 
Once upon a time, the transformation team came to Earth to remind humankind – and even to remind themselves – that we are not alone, that we are all equally important actors intimately interconnected in the divine unfolding of the universe. The team came to remind us that fear is but an invitation to growth, and that in the end, there is no end. There is only this sacred moment in which to open to all the richness that we are ready to receive. There is only the eternal here and now.
 
And so to bring this transformation fable to a close (or is it an opening?), the transformation team found and continues to find ever more joyful, meaningful ways to love, explore, play, and grow together with all people of Earth, as they live happily ever after in the ever present here and now.

HEAL
for bringing Chidren and the Earth together

L&L lends support for a California public school program in which elementary
school students learn to plant, harvest and cook their own vegetables,
getting into vital touch with the agriculture potential of our fragile
planet and the earthy connections of their own souls. With the program in
fnancial trouble, here's an opportunity to support it, after reading this
report from a local community paper.

 Fiscal woes threaten school garden program
 
 By Julia Scott, STAFF WRITER
 
 Article Last Updated: 01/28/2008 04:15:55 PM PST
 

 HALF MOON BAY — A model gardening and nutrition program for Coastside
 elementary school students is in serious financial peril and may have
 seen its last season, according to program officials.
 
 The Healthy Eating Active Living project, founded at Alvin S. Hatch
 Elementary School in 2005 with a Kaiser Permanente grant, spread to
 three other Coastside elementary schools this year, but won't be able to
 sustain its current funding level and will likely be forced to make
 drastic cutbacks next year, said program director Lisa Hellerich.
 
 That's bad news for the 650 third- and fourth-graders who have enjoyed
 learning how to plant, harvest and cook their own vegetables this year
 in their own schoolyard gardens. They've grown used to the fun games and
 organized sports they now play at recess, which help them stay fit.
 
 Hellerich says the gardens, the instructors, the materials andher own
 position are all likely to disappear come September unless the HEAL
 program can find some grant money — and fast.
 
 Some of the newly founded school garden sites may not even make it
 through this academic year, said Hellerich. This includes Farallone View
 Elementary, whose program started in November, and El Granada
 Elementary, whose program started just this week.
 
 Part of the problem is that the HEAL program only managed to raise
 $100,000 of the $115,000 it needed this year for its expansion (the
 final school, Kings Mountain Elementary in Woodside, is due to start
 
 its project in the next two weeks). The biggest problem is that the
 program has only managed to secure a commitment of $21,000 so far for
 next year, from the Silicon Valley Community Foundation. Many previous
 grantors, such as Kaiser Permanente, are expected to commit less money
 than in previous years. And several other local sources of income are
 drying up.
 
 "The city can't help us, the school can't help us, and the small
 organizations that are out here certainly can't pick up a $100,000 tab,"
 said Hellerich, adding that she had already been turned down for $40,000
 worth of grants.
 
 Hatch Elementary managed to give $7,500 this year and the school's
 parent-teacher organization raised an additional $10,000, said
 Hellerich. But major upcoming state education budget cuts may force both
 groups to reassess their priorities in the coming year. Kaiser donated
 $50,000 for this year but has been hoping the program would be able to
 stand "on our own two feet, rather than on them," said Hellerich.
 
 "The future of the program is the biggest question mark right now. I
 think we'll get the program through the end of the year, but we're
 already cutting a lot, such as the events that should bring the parents
 in and send the message home. They're not getting a chance to see how
 great this program is, so I don't know if they'll be able to pay for
 it," she said.
 
 Hatch Elementary was the first in the county to take the innovative step
 of combining fitness, nutrition, and hands-on environmental science
 learning with the installation of its backyard garden. Students hold
 dinner events where they cook for their parents and perform what they've
 learned. Parents are encouraged to attend special nutrition classes to
 help guide them on healthy things to cook at home. The classes are held
 in Spanish and English, targeting the school's sizable population of
 Hispanic families — a group known to be at greater risk of health
 complications due to poor nutrition or inactivity, according to
 studies.
 
 Local parent Sandra Andreini says the HEAL project has already changed
 her son Nico's outlook on food. Nico is in the third grade at Hatch
 Elementary. As president of the PTO, Andreini has helped raise thousands
 of dollars for the program.
 
 "He comes home one day and says, 'Mom, you cannot buy that cake that
 comes in boxes anymore. Miss Kim told us it has all that stuff in it.'
 And he started telling us about preservatives," she recalled with a
 laugh.
 
 "We eat pretty healthy, but there a lot of families here and everywhere
 that don't. I think the awareness thing has been huge," she added.
 
 Just last week, Hellerich said, the students harvested and feasted on a
 winter crop of cabbage, bok choi and mustard greens.
 
 "It's surprising to many people, but I think the reason this is so
 effective is the kids are out in the garden being involved in growing
 the food, harvesting it and preparing it," she said. "We've seen time
 and again kids who weren't about to touch anything that was green,
 eating things they helped produce."
 
 Wherever else she may try to look for money, Hellerich won't be turning
 to the Cabrillo Unified School District. Newly appointed Superintendent
 Rob Gaskill said he was "wowed" by the HEAL project and could very
 easily see it becoming just as popular at the secondary school level.
 Unfortunately, the school district is going through its own budget
 throes and can't spare a cent.
 
 "Virtually nearly every segment of school programming will be affected
 (next year)," said Gaskill. "We're going to be lucky to hold onto our
 core academic programs, let alone take on more programs, as exciting as
 they might be."

Visions of an Intergalactic Society ... As A Reality Right Now!

 
L&L acknowledges the search for ET's and interplanetary activity as one of the greatest explorations of this age, with many related questions of how otherworldly contact will affect our spiritual lives. Dr. Richard Boylan now today lives in a world populated by various Extraterrestrials, including champions in humankind's fight against its own evil Dark Cabal. Here is Richard's State of the Cosmos address going into 2008.

Open Letter To the UFO Community and Other Concerned Citizens

Fellow citizens of Earth,

In sharing with you this critically important letter, I am reminded of the
opening words of Charles Dickens’s classic A Tale of Two Cities: "It was
the best of times, it was the worst of times."

This letter brings you news of great hope for Earth. Yet it also contains
sobering and disquieting revelations. Both the good news and the bad news
are important for you to have.

This Open Letter will address five subjects: 1) Star Nations and the
Councillor of Earth; 2) the Mission of the12 Scientists From Altimar Coming
To Earth This Year; 3) the Cabal’s (global cartel of the ultra-rich and
powerful) Plans To Demonize Visiting Star Persons; 4) the Cabal’s Secret
Antigravity Fleet And Star Wars Weaponry; and 5) the monograph Freefall To
Fascism’s Revelations About Cabal Plans For Global Martial Law.

Because all of the events described here are expected to occur in 2008, you
need this information now as a responsible citizen equipped to take part in
shaping your future.

Star Nations And the Councillor of/for Earth

Star Nations is the federation of intelligent civilizations of space. When
they are in contact with a planet with intelligent life which has developed
to a point of readiness for cosmic contact, Star Nations appoints an
individual from that planet to represent that planet on Star Nations’
governing body, its High Council. That representative is called a Councillor.

Star Nations watched the development of intelligent Humans for over a
quarter of a million years. After the violent internal collapse of previous
civilizations here, some remembered as Atlantis and Lemuria (Mu), Star
Nations authorized a fresh attempt to assist this contemporary Human
civilization, now facing our present critical time of transition.

A member of High Council volunteered to incarnate as a Human and to grow up
to full maturity about the time that Human society was reaching this
critical threshold. That threshold is our current make-or-break point:
where either Human society will make it to a higher spiritual functioning
level of operating peacefully, with social justice, and with responsible
environmental stewardship; or will "crash and burn" back to a
Hunter-Gatherer level, with considerable loss of life.

Because that Councillor incarnated as a Human was not immediately evident
in his Human form, Star Nations sent down Councillor Asheoma to find him.
Asheoma knew that the criteria were that the incarnated Councillor be
absolutely Human, not just a thinly-disguised Star Being. Further, this
incarnated Councillor had to be of advanced spiritual, metaphysical,
intellectual, and consciousness development, since the original Star Being
Councillor’s personal qualities were such. Asheoma spent many years
searching and in late February, 2005 found him. Asheoma approached the
Human-incarnate and asked him if he was willing to accept appointment as
Councillor of/for Earth. I consented.

In making the identification, Asheoma had taken note of my longtime
activities to educate people about Star Visitors, and about Humans’ close
encounters with these Visitors, and about the more advanced Star Seeds and
Star Kids now emerging in the population. He noted my website and books, my
educational talks and Star Kid/Star Seed Workshops, my building on-line
informational and communication networks, including UFOFacts,
DrRichBoylanReports , and the StarKidsHangout, and starting the educational
non-profits, the Academy of Clinical Close Encounter Therapists, Inc
(ACCET), and the Star Kids Project, Ltd.

(Star Nations has used the almost-1500- member global community of the
on-line UFOFacts group to canvass this sampling of Humanity on such issues
as whether typical Humans would welcome Star Visitor environmental
scientists to help remedy Earth’s environmental crisis. (They would.) Star
Nations has also utilized the UFOFacts community to assess the kind of
selfless hearts Humans could show for various issues, such as working
together to exert joint psychic effort to liberate Star Visitors being held
unjustly captive by the Cabal. The repeated showings of such Human heart
has convinced Star Nations to aid all Humans in his time of global crisis,
despite the many Cabal shootings-down of starcraft and torturing of Star
Visitors taken captive.)

After an intensive period where Councillor Asheoma educated and briefed the
Councillor of Earth on Star Nations lore which the Councillor of Earth had
not remembered in this incarnation, it was time to hold a Formal Hearing on
the long train of crimes by the Cabal in violation of the11 Universal Laws
and the 11 Spiritual Laws of the cosmos.
www.drboylan. com/11.11laws. html

The Councillor of Earth was joined by other Star Nations Councillors, as
well as by a Human representative of Earth, and a Human representative for
Star Nations. The Formal hearing resulted in conviction of the Cabal for
wholesale crimes in violation of basic principles and values. As a result
Star Nations subsequently has refused to include then in any Human
communications, and now considers Cabal members a deviant sub-variant of
the Human species.

The Hearing over, it was time to move on with other parts of Councillor of
Earth’s responsibilities. My responsibilities include both representation
and communication. .

The Councillor of Earth represents Humankind and all Earth officially to
Star Nations for matters of policy development by its High Council as
concerns Earth. And I represent Star Nations to the people of Earth in
official matters.

Also, the Councillor of Earth serves as the official communication pathway
to bring overall Earth policy issues to Star Nations High Council; and to
communicate decisions and information from Star Nations to Humans as they
affect us and Earth.

The Councillor of Earth has a responsibility to communicate Star Nations
policy decisions and plans as widely as possible to the people of Earth.
The Internet helps greatly in worldwide dissemination of such Star Nations
information, policy decisions and action plans. And yet right now, the
Cabal's choke-hold on the media prevents the kind of ready and truly
comprehensive sharing of the information which world society has a right to
know. But things are changing.

One of the Councillor of/for Earth’s current responsibilities is to make
preparations for the 2008 arrival of a delegation of 12 top environmental
scientists from the planet Altimar, coming here to help us with Earth’s
environmental crisis. I am engaged in doing that.

However, in many of these efforts I do not operate alone. There is an Inner
Team of close associates who have been working with me behind the scenes to
thwart the enemies of Humankind. These Inner Team individuals and I have a
close relationship with Star Nations, including formal on-going dialogue
and coordination with members of Star Nations’ High Council. Each Team
member brings their own skills and strengths.

In addition, our efforts to start to disassemble elements of the Cabal’s
power structure in turn have been immeasurably aided by the direct actions
of a self-effacing, eminent former-NSA Special Forces officer, Colonel
"Shadow"(name suppressed for safety) and his superb counter-insurgency team
(CIT), as well as by certain "White Hats" officials and elite warriors in
CIA, NSA and the Department of Interstellar Immigration.

The combination of Inner Team remote-viewers, general community
good-hearted Humans psychically working with us, and of Colonel Shadow and
his CIT, has resulted in such successes as the liberation of Star Visitors
being held and tortured at: Naval Weapons Station Charleston, SC; in
confinement areas under the Pentagon, at an underground U.S. installation
in Iceland, at an undeclared installation in DeBaca County, New Mexico,
under Edwards Air Force Base, California, and from a secret military
complex in the greater Colorado Springs, CO region. Additionally, we
together effected the return of three enormous Space Beacons stolen by the
Cabal from the Beacons’ original and proper navigational- orienting
positions in space.

The Mission of the 12 Scientists From Altimar Coming To Earth Soon

On June 7, 2007, Star Nations announced that, in response to Humans
declaring they welcome Star Visitors coming among us, that they had decided
that the best way to respond to that welcome is to start by sending a small
contingent of a dozen Star Visitors.

These individuals are from a planet they call Altimar, which orbits a red
dwarf star in the general neighborhood of Barnard's Star general
neighborhood. Barnard’s Star is approximately between 6 and 7 light years
from Earth.

These twelve scientists want to come to Earth to help with the restoration
of the environment. They are all highly-advanced environmental scientists.
Each are leaders in their fields, having equivalents of an Earth
Ph.D.-level expertise in their environmental specialty area. While on
Earth, they will help by working with our very top (non-Cabal) scientists
and environmental officials. They will teach our scientists, and show them
advanced technology they will use to help clean up Earth faster than we can
do it on our own without such advanced environmental knowledge and
equipment. And work collaboratively with them.

These Altimarians are hybrids, having the basic Altimarian genome, but have
volunteered to have enough Human genes spliced in to give them lungs and
other attributes that make them able to come to Earth without needing
artificial aids to adapt to our atmosphere and gravity. But, since our Sun
is brighter than their star, to protect from excessive solar radiation they
will spend most of their time indoors, or work at night and sleep during
the day. (For more details, see:
<
http://www.drboylan .com/cosmiccompa ny.html>www.drboylan. com/cosmiccompan y.html
).

By the way, they see the legitimate governing authority of Earth as vested
in the people, not the government officials who think they rule over us,
rather than serve the people.

They have chosen Human names for ease of communication. Two are Technology
Specialists. Chris & Oman work with negating the damage of technologies
which are oppressive to the environment and living beings. And they utilize
technologies which do not require equipment. They also work with the
electromagnetic fields of Gaia/Earth Being.

Three are Botanical Specialists. Fred-1 works with the green lifeforms in
their above-water habitats. Alvin & Luke work with the green lifeforms
beneath the water: one with those living in fresh water environments and
the other with those in salt/saline eco-zones.

Mada is an Energy Cleanup specialist, a woman who uses skills somewhat
analogous to Human psychotherapeutics and homeopathic healing. She is the
one who works with energy systems that have been thrown out of
synchronization. And she utilizes the healing techniques of psychology and
homeopathy to negate various energy patterns which are not conducive to
healing.

Four are Environmental Specialists, each with sub-specialties. Fred-2 (he
also likes the name Fred) works with the environment of fire in all its
forms. Sam works with both fresh and saline water. Alfred specializes in
the atmosphere. Tom works with Gaia/Mother Earth, and in remedying any
disturbances in Earth. These folks actually merge with the element that
they are working with to balance out that element molecularly. While these
Environmental Specialists have a sense of humor, they take their work very
seriously.

Amanda is a Communication Specialist, and will work with translations and
language problems, such as helping clear up misunderstandings, and
reporting issues between Human Specialists and Teams and the Star Nations
Team. She works with communication of every sort by way of telepathy,
whether it be with the elemental energy beings of Earth, with various
species, or whatever.

The twelfth one is Gene, overall administrator for the contingent. He is
similar to Amanda, but he works mostly with the various parties like a
messenger of sorts. And he as well as Amanda will also facilitate
communication with Humans.

The Altimarian Twelve scientific team looks forward to coming to Earth and
helping. Yet there are some within the team who have some trepidation,
because Earth is an unknown to some of them. (Others of their race have
come here before to quietly do some clean-up of crash sites after Cabal
rogue military shot down various Star Nations craft.) And these 12
volunteers will be leaving their home planet for the duration. They are
committed to staying, and doing a thorough job. The Altimarians have a deep
love of Earth and its exceptional bio-diversity, uncommon in the galaxy.
They come in service to the greater good.

Altimarian-Human hybrids started being created several thousand years ago
to help with former environmental clean-ups of nuclear waste and other
toxic by-products of the failed past Human civilizations, such as of
Atlantis and Lemuria, with their wars.

It is the Altimarians' plans to start here with the larger-scope
environmental- restoration projects first, for example, working on cleaning
up a given ocean area, and then later to tackle smaller-scale projects such
as critical toxic sites.

The Altimarian Twelve scientific team’s work will be in places the public
will eventually notice. And Altimarians will interact with Human
environmental scientists and officials to get the Earth clean-up job moving
more rapidly. The results will be open soon enough to public view, and this
will dissolve the UFO Cover-Up’s believability.

The Altimarians will travel here in a large mother ship, which will carry a
scout craft that the scientific team will use to come down from where the
mothership is parked in space. The mothership's metric dimensions are 23
hectares, (or about 56 acres), or roughly, if the mothership were round,
about 1/3 mile by 1/3 mile. The scoutcraft is comparatively smaller, about
60 yards long by 40 yards wide. The Altimarians are not allowed by their
spiritual laws to make general use of defensive weapons, so they will be
relying on Human-provided security measures. I have placed a request with
appropriate officials to provide such security.

The Altimarians have some concern for the magnitude of change that will
occur on Earth as a result of their near-future open presence here. It will
be a time of public awareness of when cosmic cultures meet. Yet I pointed
out to Amanda and Gene that most Humans are ready and welcoming, as recent
sampling polls have indicated. When I asked their Communications Officer
Amanda what the Altimarians' general statement for Humankind would be, she
replied, "We come in peace, to help."

When they land in 2008, the plan is that several close colleagues and I
meet the Altimarians and greet them, as will a small handful of Star
Persons who are already frequent visitors to Earth.

After the Altimarians are settled, my close associates and I will
facilitate meetings between the Altimarians and top Human environmental
scientists and officials, so that they together can get going on clean-up
and environmental restoration efforts.

The Cabal's hostility to the coming here of these scientists is already
known. The Cabal have made trillions by monopolizing advanced technology
quietly back-engineered from crashed starcraft, all the while having their
media lackeys deny that UFOs exist. Because the 12 Altimarians will be
working soon enough with top Human scientists in open, non-classified work
projects, the Altimarians’ presence will thus disintegrate the Cabal's UFO
Cover-Up’s believability.

I know that many tens of thousands of you would like to welcome them. But
because Cabal attack attempts are virtually certain, general public direct
contact with the Altimarians will have to wait until the Cabal menace has
been taken care of. For now, hold good thoughts, intentions, and prayers
for a safe and successful arrival of this cosmic, environmental "Peace Corps".

The Cabal’s (Shadow Government/NWO) Plans To Demonize Visiting Star Persons

At a press conference given in Washington, DC at the National Press Club
May 9, 2001, Dr. Carol Rosin, who had been the first woman corporate
manager of an aerospace company (Fairchild Industries), told the assembled
press about a warning given her by her boss, Dr. Wernher von Braun in 1974.

Von Braun revealed that dark powerful forces controlling world wealth and
political power had over a third of a century ago planned to create a
future fake "extraterrestrial invasion" to acquire total global control.
(Meanwhile this global plutocratic cartel has maintained the UFO Cover-Up
as a cover, while they prepare for their "Great Day".)

Dr. Rosen said, "What was most interesting to me was a repetitive sentence
that he said to me over and over again during the approximately four years
that I had the opportunity to work with him. He said the strategy that was
being used to educate the public and decision makers was to use scare
tactics. That was how we identify an enemy. The strategy that Wernher Von
Braun taught me was that first the Russians are going to be considered to
be the enemy. In fact, in 1974, they were the enemy, the identified enemy.
We were told that they had "killer satellites". We were told that they were
coming to get us and control us - that they were "Commies."

"Then terrorists would be identified, and that was soon to follow. We heard
a lot about terrorism. Then we were going to identify third-world country
"crazies." We now call them Nations of Concern. But he said that would be
the third enemy against whom we would build space-based weapons. The next
enemy was asteroids. Now, at this point he kind of chuckled the first time
he said it. Asteroids- against asteroids we are going to build space-based
weapons.

"And the funniest one of all was what he called aliens, extraterrestrials.
That would be the final scare. And over and over and over during the four
years that I knew him and was giving speeches for him, he would bring up
that last card. "And remember Carol, the last card is the alien card. We
are going to have to build space-based weapons against aliens, and all of
it is a lie."

"I think I was too naVve at that time to know the seriousness of the nature
of the spin that was being put on the system. And now, the pieces are
starting to fall into place. We are building a space-based weapons system
on a premise that is a lie, a spin. Wernher Von Braun was trying to hint
that to me back in the early 70's and right up until the moment when he
died in 1977.

"What he told me was that there is an accelerated effort in place. He
didn't mention a time-line but he said that it was going to be speeding up
faster than anybody could possibly imagine. That the effort to put weapons
into space was not only based on a lie, but would accelerate past the point
of people even understanding it until it was already up there and too
late." (Testimony of Dr. Carol Rosin, NEXUS Magazine, (Dec., 2000).

The Cabal is that shadowy global plutocratic cartel bent on world
domination. Its leadership is not stupid. They plan carefully. In the
present context of increasingly abundant open flights of Star Visitor craft
over populated areas, the Cabal have devised special measures that they
believe will sell the public on the "reality" of the "alien invasion" the
Cabal have planned.

One element is the Cabal’s secret development of antigravity craft
back-engineered from Star Visitor craft that Cabal military stooges had
shot down. (More about those craft in the next section.) This
high-performance advanced-technology fleet is expected to fool the viewing
public into thinking that they are extraterrestrial UFOs. (For instance,
the huge "UFO" seen January 8 this year over Stephenville, Texas and chased
by F-16 fighters, as reported on CNN, Fox News, Larry King, and other
media, was actually a Cabal antigravity craft, warming up the public for
the false "alien invasion" which the Cabal plan to stage later this year.)

Furthermore, these Cabal craft have technology aboard their craft which can
project 3-D, solid-seeming holographic images in the sky to create
realistic sky-battle scenes. In order to further terrify people, the Cabal
plan to use the advanced Star-Wars-program energy weapons these false
"UFOs" carry on board in order to shoot at Humans on the ground, killing
thousands, and convincing people that "aliens are bad, and are on the attack."

Remote-viewing reveals that the Cabal have, as an additional
information- management tool, recruited three noted UFO investigators to act
as spokespersons during their fabricated "Star Wars". This part of the plan
was reported by a woman who is a potent psychic, was a Star Being in a
previous lifetime before incarnating as a Human this lifetime, and is a
respected close associate. Her name is Fran, and she lives in the U.S.
Southeast. She remote-viewed a contemporary scene involving those three UFO
investigators. Fran shares the following information obtained from that
riveting remote-viewing session

These three persons were observed consulting in an out-of-the-way
building's windowless room about the "Grand Story" that the Cabal plan to
launch in the not-too-distant future. That Grand Story would be that which
Dr. Wernher Van Braun had warned Dr. Carol Rosin about in 1974. Fran
identified that the two men and woman who would help front this "Alien
Invasion" story were UFO investigators Steven Greer, MD, Michael Salla,
Ph.D. and Linda Moulton Howe. The "Grand Story" which these three were
secretly discussing would unfold thus.

First, Cabal-controlled scientists and/or government officials would
proclaim "alarming new evidence" of an imminent Alien Invasion. Greer would
react on cue to this "new information" and "admit" that he has "been wrong
all along about the aliens being good," and now "realizes" they are evil.
Salla, who has said all along that "there are aliens who are evil" would
say essentially, "I told you so." Moulton-Howe, who specialized earlier in
her UFO career generating reports attributing cattle mutilations to
"aliens", would declare that she is "not surprised" that the aliens would
kill Humans next.

The Cabal would launch fake "alien" attacks, featuring Cabal antigravity
craft designed to look like classic UFOs, and armed with Star-Wars energy
weapons. These would annihilate swaths of the population, mostly in areas
of the Third World, thus achieving the Cabal desire to thin "undesirable"
(to the Cabal elite) populations, but with token attacks in the developed
countries as well, to maintain "global-attack" credibility. The
Cabal-controlled world governments would declare global martial law, and
the creation of a global authority to address the "menace".

The Cabal-controlled "world leadership" would then unveil antigravity
fighter craft (held in secret for such an eventuality) and order
counter-attacks, using their antigravity craft to engage in shooting the
"Enemy Invaders" out of the sky. Since the real Star Nations ships would
not be a party to this madness, the Cabal would simply have sent up drone
antigravity craft to dart about and project convincing 3-D "solid"
holographic images of sky warfare featuring these "Alien Invaders", which
would dutifully begin to get shot down. A grateful world would meanwhile
accept the Cabal-controlled government leaders' demand for a unified global
government, and to allow them to assume unlimited power in order to fight
"the alien invaders".

The accuracy of Fran’s remote-viewing of the above planning has been
confirmed by Star Nations representatives.

To many in the UFO community, it may seem astounding that noted UFO
investigators would front for a deception, and one which sells out Human
self-determination, and stampedes people into the arms of the Cabal
controllers. It is therefore useful to examine what indications do exist in
the open record as to whether these UFO investigators would be well suited
for fronting such a star wars plan.

Steven Greer, MD is Director of CSETI, Committee for the Study of
Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Has he hob-nobbed with the ultra-rich and
powerful? Does he have a history of being financed by Rockefeller
interests? Does this point to Cabal influence?

The Rockefellers head the American wing of the Cabal, as the Rothschilds
head the Cabal’s European wing. (Holly Sklar, Trilateralism: The Trilateral
Commission and Elite Planning for World Management, Cambridge, MA, 1980.;
Judith H. Young, Freefall To Fascism?: Taking Back Our Planet From the Rich
and Powerful, (forthcoming) .)

Greer has admitted his association with Lawrence Rockefeller. In his
typical third-person style, he writes, "Subsequently, working with
philanthropist Laurence Rockefeller, Dr. Greer provided in-depth briefing
materials for President Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who reviewed the
matter while staying at the Rockefeller' s JY Ranch." (Steven Greer,
Disclosure Project press release, Nov. 14, 2007.) Thus, Greer admits
cooperative association with one of the Rockefeller brothers, (who head the
Cabal in North America.)

Who financed the briefing material Dr. Greer provided to his friend
Lawrence Rockefeller’s guests, who included Hillary and Bill Clinton? "The
Executive Summary was not the only report funded by Rockefeller. There were
actually three different Best Available Evidence briefing documents
produced for Rockefeller. " (Extraterrestrial Politics in the Clinton White
House, Part 7, at: www.presidentialufo .com/part7. htm). "The financing of
the Best Available Evidence report was also only one in a whole series of
UFO research efforts that Rockefeller had financed in the early nineties.
He had been a constant source of what researchers referred to as
"Rockeybucks, " i.e., money spent by Rockefeller to get to the bottom of the
UFO mystery. During this period, in the early nineties, many researchers
made research proposals to Rockefeller, and were provided funds. In
January, 1994, for example, funds were provided for Steven Greer to fund
his Project Starlight." (www.presidentialuf o.com/part7. htm)

Reporter Leslie Kean confirms that Greer furnished Rockefeller- financed
briefing material to then-President Clinton and Hillary. "In August 1995,
philanthropist Laurance Rockefeller provided Greer's briefing materials to
President Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and Presidential science advisor Jack
Gibbons while they spent a weekend at Rockefeller’s Wyoming ranch."(Leslie
Kean, "USA: UFOs and National Security", June, 2000.)

Aside from Rockefeller, were there other members of the UFO Cover-Up
organization that Greer met and associated with?

Greer says: "I have personally met with a number of people who are very
involved with such [Grand Story] plans. My meetings over the past 9 years
with covert operatives who have worked on UFO-related programs have
introduced me to some characters right out of a spy novel - and then some.
Whether in private high-tech industry, at the Pentagon, or at a midnight
meeting in a private mansion, a theme has emerged - the eventual covert
militarization of the ET subject. Part of this disclosure plan involves the
use of UFO look-alike devices made by humans in an attack on Earth or
military assets of Earth."

"The covert projects which have been running UFO related programs for
nearly 60 years are not interested in a disclosure which upsets their apple
cart. But then there is the [UFO] disclosure the powers that be would like
to see: Manipulated. Calculated to consolidate power and engender fear.
Configured in such a way that chaos and a deepening need for Big Brother is
carefully inculcated into the masses." (21 October 1999; "When Disclosure
Serves Secrecy", by Steven M. Greer M.D.)

Is there other evidence that Steven Greer, a self-described "humble country
doctor", has extraordinary access to high-level officials to discuss
highly-classified matters, the kind of access only the extremely-powerful
can get you?

Greer’s Project Starlight Coalition, "referred to in this AP [Associated
Press] report, was The Disclosure Project in the early days; it was named
by our point of contact [Washington, DC think-tank director John Anderson]
who set up my briefing for CIA Director R. James Woolsey on December 13,
1993, and was operational around the time of Bill and Hillary Clinton's
visit to Laurence Rockefeller' s JY Ranch to review the data base and
briefing materials we had helped assemble." ( Nov.13, 2007 personal email
of Steven Greer to multiple-names mailing list.)

Dr. Greer also acknowledges his access to covert information not available
to highest government officials: "As early as 1993, when I personally
briefed CIA Director James Woolsey on the UFO matter, we knew of on-going,
secret projects to which President Clinton and Mr. Woolsey were denied
access." (Steven Greer, Disclosure Project press release, Nov. 14, 2007.)

So, it seems plausible that Greer could be accessible to Cabal plans. But
how would Michael Salla fit in?

Michael Emin Salla, Ph.D., is currently operating as a UFO investigator.
His earlier research earned him note as an Islamic expert on radicalism, as
evidenced by his book, Islamic Radicalism, Muslim Nations and the West.
Indeed, he selected Al Jezeera to send a letter to, informing them about
the possibility of alien intervention. (El Amraoui, Ahmed (June 4, 2006).
"US-Iran: The truth is way out there." Al Jazeera.) Also in 1996 he was
selected from Australia to work as a professor at American University,
which receives substantial Rockefeller Foundation funding. Over the last
several years his focus had shifted from studies of Islamic nations to UFOs.

To be helpful as a reported member of the planning team intending to go
public with views about the Star Visitors which suit the Cabal’s planned
false "alien invasion", Salla would need to be primed to promote "evidence"
for "evil aliens".Is it the case that Michael Salla repeatedly presses the
case that there are "evil aliens"? Let’s see.

In Comment Paper #11 on his website, Salla claims that among the reasons
Star Visitors have for coming here is "subverting humanity for the
exclusive benefit of visiting extraterrestrial races." In Comment Paper
#26, Salla alleges the need to raise "global consciousness against the
threat posed by resource-hungry extraterrestrial visitors." In Comment

Paper #44, Salla gives a more nuanced stance: that "there appears to be a
minority of extraterrestrial visitors, who view humans as a biological
resource to be exploited." Close enough for (Shadow Government) work. Salla
could therefore at the opportune time merely explain to the public that
those attacking [fake, Cabal] UFOs overhead are from the "evil minority of
extraterrestrial visitors."

How about the third reported member of the reported conspiracy?

Linda Moulton Howe is a journalist who has made a specialty of reporting
UFO-related phenomena. She has promoted herself as an expert about cattle
mutilations, asserting that they are done by "aliens", rather than the
Cabal special operators who actually are doing virtually all of them (See
Dr. Wolf’s testimony at: www.drboylan. com/wlflk1a. html).

It would be useful to the reported Cabal team to have a "cattle mutilation
expert", who could then sound convincing if she were to say that there is
"no surprise" to finding that the "aliens" have "graduated" from allegedly
killing and harvesting organs from cattle to killing Humans. Even better if
she already had a track record as saying that "some alien races are evil."
Howe managed to do both in her 1993 book provocatively (and falsely)
titled: Alien Harvest: Further Evidence Linking Animal Mutilations and
Human Abductions to Alien Life Forms.

So, the trio who were reported to having been observed plotting their role
in announcing the fake "alien invasion" contain: a UFO investigator with
ties to the top tier of the Cabal, one who is on record that "aliens" are
here to exploit us, and one who has asserted that "aliens"are here to
"harvest" us.

The Cabal’s Secret Antigravity Fleet And Star Wars Weaponry

The Cabal have acquired extremely-advanced extraterrestrial science and
technology information by back-engineering it from UFOs they have shot
down, by stealing such benign information from legitimate governments to
whom Star Nations had entrusted it, and by torturing Star Visitors they
captured into disclosing such information. The Cabal have then weaponized
this basically benign, neutral science and technology information by having
their scientists and engineers turn it into such tools as swift antigravity
fighter craft and Star Wars weapons.

The Cabal’s antigravity fleet consists of at least the following. (For more
details and sources, go to: : www.drboylan. com/xplanes2. html)

1) The B-2 Stealth bomber secretly has electrogravitic systems on board,
eliminating most weight when turned on, and enabling it to fly great
distances with little fuel consumption. While the B-2's existence is public
knowledge, the fact that it secretly has antigravity properties is not.

2) The Aurora is a moderate-sized spacefaring vehicle that can operate on
both conventional fuel and antigravity field-propulsion systems. The Aurora
can travel to the Moon. It operates out of Area 51, (Groom Dry Lake Air
Force Station), at the northeast corner of the Nellis AFB Range, north of
Las Vegas, Nevada.

3) The Lockheed-Martin X-33A VentureStar military space plane is a military
version of its acknowledged civilian aerospace vehicle, the National Space
Plane, in off-and-on development. The military X-33A has an
electrogravitics system on board.

4) the Lockheed X-22A is a two-man antigravity disc fighter. The late
Colonel Steve Wilson, USAF (ret.), stated that military astronauts who fly
it trained at a secret aerospace academy separate from the regular Air
Force Academy at Colorado Springs, CO. These military astronauts then
operate out of such bases as Beale and Vandenberg Air Force Bases, Northern
California. From those bases, these military astronauts regularly fly
trans-atmospherical ly and out into space. An ex-NSA employee said that the
X-22A is equipped with Neutral Particle Beam directed-energy weapons, that
it is capable of effecting optical as well as radar invisibility, and that
it is deployable for worldwide military operations

5) The Nautilus is another space- faring military spacecraft, which
operates by magnetic pulsing It is manufactured jointly by Boeing's Phantom
Works near Seattle and EU's Airbus Industries Anglo-French consortium. It
makes twice-a-week trips up to a secret military-intelligen ce space
station, which has been in deep space for the past thirty years. The
Nautilus has the ability to strike a ground target, hurtling down from
space, a direction from which attacks are not usually expected.

6) The TR3-A 'Pumpkinseed' is a super-fast aerospace vehicle with a thin
oval airframe shaped like a pumpkinseed. It has been identified as using
pulse-detonation technology for propulsion in a sub-hypersonic regime, and
also uses antigravity technology for mass-reduction and complementary field
propulsion at higher speed levels.

7) the TR3-B 'Astra" is a large triangular anti-gravity craft within the
U.S. fleet. It was reportedly secretly deployed in the Gulf War's early
hours, using electromagnetic- pulse/laser cannons. It literally sat in
mid-air, firing at long-, medium-, and short-range targets to take them out.

8) A Northrop antigravity disc is manufactured by Northrop Aircraft
Corporation. I have seen and dubbed it the 'Great Pumpkin' , from its
intensely-brilliant ruddy golden-orangish glow, resultant from strong
ambient ionization. This points to electrogravitics as its method of field
propulsion.

9) The XH-75D or XH Shark antigravity helicopter is manufactured by
Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical Corporation of San Diego (now part of
Northrop-Grumman) . USAF Colonel Steve Wilson reported that many of these
XH-75Ds were assigned to the Delta/National Reconnaissance Organization
Division which retrieves downed UFOs. That Division is also implicated in
mutilating cattle as a psychological warfare program on the American
public, to try to get citizens to fear and hate Star Visitors through
assuming that "the aliens" are the ones cutting up the cattle. The
antigravity Shark helo is also capable of operating invisibly.

10) The TAW-50 is a hypersonic, antigravity, space-capable fighter-bomber
jointly developed by the Lockheed-Martin Skunk Works and Northrop. The
TAW-50 is capable of moving considerably faster than 38,000 mph. The TAW-50
has a SCRAM (supersonic ramjet) propulsion system for passing through the
upper atmosphere. The TAW-50 also utilizes electrogravitics to maintain its
own artificial gravity while in weightless space, as well as to nullify the
vehicle's mass during operations. The TAW-50 is armed with its own Kill
Laser system. In addition, the TAW-50 is armed with micro-superexplosiv e
HyperDart missiles. These are just a little larger than ordinary aircraft
cannon ammunition, but travel at hypersonic speed for up to three minutes,
and have enormous explosive capability. One HyperDart can blow apart a MiG
fighter anywhere within 20 feet of the HyperDart. The TAW-50 carries
several hundred HyperDarts. The performance of the TAW-50 makes it
virtually impossible to defend against. It can hide in orbit many hundreds
of miles into space, orbiting at times at 22,000 mph. Then, without
warning, it can dive straight down through the atmosphere at over 38,000
miles per hour on an 80-degree attack vector, reverse direction within 150
feet of the ground with very little loss of motion and without a glide
turn, and almost instantly go vertically straight up at over 38,000 mph
until long after it leaves the atmosphere and resumes orbiting in space.
The TAW-50's electrogravitics allow it to change its mass to almost nothing
in a moment, and reverse direction in a second, then increase its
acceleration to many times Earth's gravity, yet is able to virtually
nullify the inertial and G-force effect on the pilots. As of 2002, the U.S.
has 20 TAW-50s in its arsenal. But, as a contractor who helped build it
commented, 'You could take out an entire nation in under 10 days with only
10 of these, doing three attacks a day. One can wipe out an entire city the
size of suburban Cleveland in a single attack without having to use any
nukes at all."

11) The Northrop Quantum Teleportation Disc is the result of advances
beyond "mere" antigravity field propulsion. Northrop engineers have
incorporated quantum physics principles, and have harnessed quantum
entanglement to achieve quantum teleportation as the means by which this
craft "ceases to exist" in one location and suddenly reappears over a
distant target.

Where are these craft kept? While not all locations are known, some of
these advanced-technology craft operate out of: Nellis Air Force Base’s
Area 51, Rachel, Nevada; Vandenberg AFB (Lompoc) and Beale AFB
(Marysville) , California; Michael Army Auxiliary Air Field at Dugway
Proving Grounds, Tooele, Utah; Space City at White Sands Missile Range, Las
Cruces, New Mexico; Whiteman AFB, Sedalia, Missouri; and undoubtedly at
additional locations.

Are large numbers of Humans therefore doomed under an onslaught from these
seemingly-invincibl e Cabal advanced antigravity craft masquerading as
"alien invaders"? Not so.

Star Nations spokesperson, Councillor For the Watchers stated on November
5, 2007 (personal communication) that the staged "alien invasion" and
resultant bloodbath, reportedly to be fronted by Greer, Salla and Howe,
will not happen. The Councillor says, "We would never let countless Humans
die in such an event because we love them too much to allow that. We do
intervene in Human affairs when the stakes are high – a false-flag
"invasion" meets that criterion."

The Monograph Freefall To Fascism?: Revelations About Cabal Plans For
Global Martial Law

This Open Letter has touched on several very important areas: the links
between Star Nations and Earth that have now begun with the appointment of
an official representative; one star race’s decision to send a dozen "Peace
Corps" environmental scientists to Earth in 2008; the Cabal’s plans to
thwart any Star Visitors public presence by staging a preemptive fake
"alien invasion"; and the secret advanced antigravity craft and weapons
which the Cabal has available to accomplish their simulated "alien
invasion" Star Wars sky battles and ground attacks.

Now there is a need to address the Cabal’s overall agenda and strategy for
total global domination. Rather than go into that at length here, I refer
you to an acquaintance’ s new monograph, which masterfully covers the New
World Order subject.

Political Science expert Dr. Judith H. Young has written Freefall to
Fascism?: Taking Back Our Planet From the Rich and Powerful. In it, Dr.
Young discusses the NWO/Cabal’s various techniques, including control of
information, and staging successive crises, to lay the groundwork for
global martial law and consolidation of authority and power under one
centralized instrumentality. While Dr. Young does not directly discuss the
false-flag "alien invasion crisis" in her monograph, such a false
terrorizing operation clearly falls within the profile of the kind of
manipulative crises which the Cabal manufactures.

Freefall to Fascism? is forthcoming as a monograph which is planned to be
published in hard-copy form, as well as having excerpts published on the
Internet during 2008. I strongly encourage you to read it.

While awaiting the appearance of Freefall to Fascism?, if you want more
information on the Cabal, you can read two articles of mine on the subject
at: www.drboylan. com/cabal. html , and at: www.drboylan. com/shadgovt2. html .

Forgive my Open Letter’s length. The matters discussed are so vital that
they needed to be laid out adequately, because you need to be aware of
every one.

Informed citizens can take back their country, and world, from the
self-appointed Cabal controllers currently running things. It is time for
us to get busy doing precisely that.

in the light,

Richard Boylan, Ph.D.

Councillor of/for Earth

One Day of the Iraq War.
It's outrageous cost in the lives of all Americans. Watch the American Friends 2-minute video:
 



 


ADDRESS BY SALT LAKE CITY MAYOR ROSS C. "ROCKY" ANDERSON
 

October 27, 2007
City & County Building
Salt Lake City, Utah
 
 
Today, as we come together once again in this great city, we raise our
voices in unison to say to President Bush, to Vice President Cheney, to
other members of the Bush Administration (past and present), to a majority
of Congress, including Utah's entire congressional delegation, and to much
of the mainstream media: "You have failed us miserably and we won't take it
any more."
 
While we had every reason to expect far more of you, you have been pompous,
greedy, cruel, and incompetent as you have led this great nation to a moral,
military, and national security abyss." "You have breached trust with the
American people in the most egregious ways. You have utterly failed in the
performance of your jobs. You have undermined our Constitution, permitted
the violation of the most fundamental treaty obligations, and betrayed the
rule of law.
 
You have engaged in, or permitted, heinous human rights abuses of the sort
never before countenanced in our nation's history as a matter of official
policy. You have sent American men and women to kill and be killed on the
basis of lies, on the basis of shifting justifications, without competent
leadership, and without even a coherent plan for this monumental
blunder.""You have engaged in, or permitted, heinous human rights abuses of
the sort never before countenanced in our nation's history as a matter of
official policy. You have sent American men and women to kill and be killed
on the basis of lies, on the basis of shifting justifications, without
competent leadership, and without even a coherent plan for this monumental
blunder.
 
We are here to tell you: We won't take it any more!
 
You have acted in direct contravention of values that we, as Americans who
love our country, hold dear. You have deceived us in the most cynical,
outrageous ways. You have undermined, or allowed the undermining of, our
constitutional system of checks and balances among the three presumed
co-equal branches of government. You have helped lead our nation to the
brink of fascism, of a dictatorship contemptuous of our nation's treaty
obligations, federal statutory law, our Constitution, and the rule of law.
 
Because of you, and because of your jingoistic false 'patriotism,' our world
is far more dangerous, our nation is far more despised, and the threat of
terrorism is far greater than ever before. It has been absolutely astounding
how you have committed the most horrendous acts, causing such needless
tragedy in the lives of millions of people, yet you wear your so-called
religion on your sleeves, asserting your God-is-on-my-side nonsense - when
what you have done flies in the face of any religious or humanitarian
tradition. Your hypocrisy is mind-boggling - and disgraceful.
 
What part of "Thou shalt not kill" do you not understand? What part of the
"Golden rule" do you not understand? What part of "be honest," "be
responsible," and "be accountable" don't you understand? What part of
"Blessed are the peacekeepers" do you not understand?
 
Because of you, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed, many
thousands of people have suffered horrendous lifetime injuries, and millions
have been run off from their homes. For the sake of our nation, for the sake
of our children, and for the sake of our brothers and sisters around the
world, we are morally compelled to say, as loudly as we can, 'We won't take
it any more!' "
 
As United States agents kidnap, disappear, and torture human beings around
the world, you justify, you deceive, and you cover up. We find what you have
done to men, women and children, and to the good name and reputation of the
United States, so appalling, so unconscionable, and so outrageous as to
compel us to call upon you to step aside and allow other men and women who
are competent, true to our nation's values, and with high moral principles
to stand in your places - for the good of our nation, for the good of our
children, and for the good of our world.
 
In the case of the President and Vice President, this means impeachment and
removal from office, without any further delay from a complacent, complicit
Congress, the Democratic majority of which cares more about political gain
in 2008 than it does about the vindication of our Constitution, the rule of
law, and democratic accountability.It means the election of people as
President and Vice President who, unlike most of the presidential candidates
from both major parties, have not aided and abetted in the perpetration of
the illegal, tragic, devastating invasion and occupation of Iraq. And it
means the election of people as President and Vice President who will commit
to return our nation to the moral and strategic imperative of refraining
from torturing human beings.
 
In the case of the majority of Congress, it means electing people who are
diligent enough to learn the facts, including reading available National
Intelligence Estimates, before voting to go to war. It means electing to
Congress men and women who will jealously guard Congress's sole prerogative
to declare war. It means electing to Congress men and women who will not
submit like vapid lap dogs to presidential requests for blank checks to
engage in so-called preemptive wars, for legislation permitting warrantless
wiretapping of communications involving US citizens, and for dangerous,
irresponsible, saber-rattling legislation like the recent Kyl-Lieberman
amendment.
 
We must avoid the trap of focusing the blame solely upon President Bush and
Vice-President Cheney. This is not just about a few people who have wronged
our country - and the world. They were enabled by members of both parties in
Congress, they were enabled by the pathetic mainstream news media, and,
ultimately, they have been enabled by the American people - 40% of whom are
so ill-informed they still think Iraq was behind the 9/11 attacks - a people
who know and care more about baseball statistics and which drunken starlets
are wearing underwear than they know and care about the atrocities being
committed every single day in our name by a government for which we need to
take responsibility.
 
As loyal Americans, without regard to political partisanship -- as veterans,
as teachers, as religious leaders, as working men and women, as students, as
professionals, as businesspeople, as public servants, as retirees, as people
of all ages, races, ethnic origins, sexual orientations, and faiths -- we
are here to say to the Bush administration, to the majority of Congress, and
to the mainstream media: "You have violated your solemn responsibilities.
You have undermined our democracy, spat upon our Constitution, and engaged
in outrageous, despicable acts. You have brought our nation to a point of
immorality, inhumanity, and illegality of immense, tragic, unprecedented
proportions."
 
But we will live up to our responsibilities as citizens, as brothers and
sisters of those who have suffered as a result of the imperial bullying of
the United States government, and as moral actors who must take a stand: And
we will, and must, mean it when we say 'We won't take it any more.
 
If we want principled, courageous elected officials, we need to be
principled, courageous, and tenacious ourselves. History has demonstrated
that our elected officials are not the leaders - the leadership has to come
from us. If we don't insist, if we don't persist, then we are not living up
to our responsibilities as citizens in a democracy - and our
responsibilities as moral human beings. If we remain silent, we signal to
Congress and the Bush administration - and to candidates running for office
- and to the world - that we support the status quo.
 
Silence is complicity. Only by standing up for what's right and never
letting down can we say we are doing our part. Our government, on the basis
of a campaign we now know was entirely fraudulent, attacked and militarily
occupied a nation that posed no danger to the United States. Our government,
acting in our name, has caused immense, unjustified death and destruction.
 
It all started five years ago, yet where have we, the American people, been?
At this point, we are responsible. We get together once in a while at
demonstrations and complain about Bush and Cheney, about Congress, and about
the pathetic news media. We point fingers and yell a lot. Then most people
politely go away until another demonstration a few months later.
 
How many people can honestly say they have spent as much time learning about
and opposing the outrages of the Bush administration as they have spent
watching sports or mindless television programs during the past five years?
Escapist, time-sapping sports and insipid entertainment have indeed become
the opiate of the masses. Why is this country so sound asleep? Why do we
abide what is happening to our nation, to our Constitution, to the cause of
peace and international law and order? Why are we not doing all in our power
to put an end to this madness?
 
We should be in the streets regularly and students should be raising hell on
our campuses. We should be making it clear in every way possible that
apologies or convoluted, disingenuous explanations just don't cut it when
presidential candidates and so many others voted to authorize George Bush
and his neo-con buddies to send American men and women to attack and occupy
Iraq.
 
Let's awaken, and wake up the country by committing here and now to do all
each of us can to take our nation back. Let them hear us across the country,
as we ask others to join us: "We won't take it any more!"
 
I implore you: Draw a line. Figure out exactly where your own moral breaking
point is. How much will you put up with before you say "No more" and mean
it?
 
I have drawn my line as a matter of simple personal morality: I cannot, and
will not, support any candidate who has voted to fund the atrocities in
Iraq. I cannot, and will not, support any candidate who will not commit to
remove all US troops, as soon as possible, from Iraq. I cannot, and will
not, support any candidate who has supported legislation that takes us one
step closer to attacking Iran. I cannot, and will not, support any candidate
who has not fought to stop the kidnapping, disappearances, and torture being
carried on in our name.
 
If we expect our nation's elected officials to take us seriously, let us
send a powerful message they cannot misunderstand. Let them know we really
do have our moral breaking point. Let them know we have drawn a bright line.
Let them know they cannot take our support for granted - that, regardless of
their party and regardless of other political considerations, they will not
have our support if they cannot provide, and have not provided,principled
leadership.
 
The people of this nation may have been far too quiet for five years, but
let us pledge that we won't let it go on one more day - that we will do all
we can to put an end to the illegalities, the moral degradation, and the
disintegration of our nation's reputation in the world.
 
Let us be unified in drawing the line - in declaring that we do have a moral
breaking point. Let us insist, together, in supporting our troops and in
gratitude for the freedoms for which our veterans gave so much, that we
bring our troops home from Iraq, that we return our government to a
constitutional democracy, and that we commit to honoring the fundamental
principles of human rights.
 
In defense of our country, in defense of our Constitution, in defense of our
shared values as Americans - and as moral human beings - we declare today
that we will fight in every way possible to stop the insanity, stop the
continued military occupation of Iraq, and stop the moral depravity
reflected by the kidnapping, disappearing, and torture of people around the
world.
