There is an overwhelming volume of predictions in esoteric circles that our planet and its people are destined for major structural changes at the end of this century, the end of the present millennium.

During the latter years of this century visions and predictions of millennium-end disruptions have grown increasingly numerous. They come from many different sources, including renewed interest in Biblical and medieval predictions, recent and current "visions" of major changes to our planet's geography, and "future progression" under hypnosis, reinforced by channeled communications from Higher Sources explaining the spiritual aspect of these changes and the reasons for them.

Prophets and prophecies of doom and gloom and the impending end of the world have come and gone throughout history, and many people give such ideas no credence.

Others reject predictions of future major Earth changes as "unscientific". But there is substantial scientific evidence of many past geological upheavals on our planet, and when a pattern has happened repeatedly throughout history the "scientific" presumption is that it will continue, not that, for some unexplained reason, history will cease to repeat itself.

Geological evidence clearly indicates that physical disruptions of enormous magnitude have in the past imposed major alterations to the planet's geography, often submerging entire continental landmasses beneath the sea, or raising others to become some of today's highest mountain ranges, as evidenced by the shells and skeletons of sea animals that have been found high in the Himalayas. Geological evidence also confirms that the great plains of the USA from Mexico to Alaska were at one time under the sea; so also was today's eastern coast of America where the ocean once broke on the "shores" of the Appalachian Mountains.

There is similar evidence of changes in the Earth's axis; tropical coral reefs have been discovered as far north as Spitzbergen within what is now the Polar Circle.

With these upheavals have come correspondingly sudden climatic changes. Coal deposits in Antarctica indicate that the area was once covered by forests. In 1799 frozen bodies of mammoths were discovered in the tundra of Siberia, their stomachs containing freshly eaten grasses and leaves that nowadays belong in regions a thousand or more miles to the south.

Changes of this magnitude have happened before and will, so it is predicted, be repeated at or shortly before the end of this current millennium.

Though New Age thinking widely supports the idea of major Earth changes, these events are not seen as "doom and gloom", nor indeed as "the end of the world", but rather as a process of cleansing and rebirth, presenting exciting and challenging opportunities for mankind to take a significant upward step in evolutionary development.

Among all the "Earth Change" predictions, from Biblical prophecies to contemporary channeling and modern visionaries, there is general agreement that the surface of the planet is to be "cleansed", a process involving the destruction of all major centers of habitation and substantial changes in the world map. The catalyst initiating these changes, it is widely believed, will be a tilting of Earth's axis, altering the existing centrifugal balance of the crust and creating surface changes to the major land-masses. Some continents will sink beneath the sea and others will rise up from the depths of the oceans, accompanied by enormous tidal waves, floods and unprecedented storms.

The need for this "cleansing" has been brought about in substantial part by man's physical pollution of the planet's surface and atmosphere, a need with which many scientists and environmentalists might readily if reluctantly agree.

In addition however, there is much channeled information to the effect that these Changes with the accompanying Cleansing have long been scheduled. From the many esoteric teachings, channelings and visions both historical and contemporary predicting the millennium-end Earth changes, a wider view may be put together indicating the existence of a Higher Plan. This involves a shift in vibratory level and consciousness, both for Humanity and Planet Earth, with the coming of the new Aquarian Age at the end of this millennium in a major conjunction of evolutionary cycles.

A significant part of the human race presently incarnated on Planet Earth has reached the turning point in the Arc of Evolution. At this point the direction of travel changes from the descent into Matter, becoming an ascent back into Spirit; the guiding motivation changes from individuality and self-interest to cooperation, service and unity.

Those who have reached this point and are now about to commence the "return journey" back to Unity with the Creator and all of Creation will soon find that they can no longer function on the dense vibratory level presently manifesting on Earth. They will need to move to a higher vibratory level if their evolution is to continue.

Planet Earth too is ready for a major change. This involves an upward step into a new evolutionary phase of living on a higher vibrational plane, a level of increased light and lightness of being. Nor does this change affect our planet alone; it is part of a major change for our whole solar system which will itself be stepping up to yet higher vibration levels.

Many channeled Masters confirm that the central significance of the present New Age Consciousness is that we are, even at this present time, experiencing a raising of our own and our entire planet's vibration rates in preparation for these changes. This is gradually being effected by a constant invisible bombardment of higher frequency energies projected down from the Higher Realms, raising the consciousness of those who are ready and open, while at the same time bringing to the surface many dormant conflicts and difficulties for their final resolution.

As the preparations and resolutions leading to the general move upwards gain momentum, it is also made clear that while some will require, or at least be able to accept, this higher vibratory level, others will not. This in turn requires a process of assessment, the "sorting of the wheat from the chaff", confirming the Biblical predictions which tell of the final Day of Judgment prior to the Second Coming of The Christ and the Golden Age which is to follow.

The Day of Judgment is traditionally a time at the end of a particular phase of planetary evolution when an assessment of each and every Soul's attainment is made to determine those who are able to join the move up to a higher plane, and those who must go elsewhere to start again at the beginning of that phase in order to attempt again the lessons they have failed to master.

But the message from Higher Spheres in relation to the Day of Judgment is not wholly one of a pre-determined destiny from which there is no escape. There will indeed, according to predictions, be many who are unable to follow this upward movement due to their low prevailing level of spiritual evolution. Others will clearly make the upward step. But there are many whose destiny hangs in the balance, and for them the impending Changes present a significant opportunity now for personal change and preparation. Indeed there is much assistance available to this end in the form of beneficial, vibration-raising transmissions coming to our entire planet at this time; in addition, there are many Guides and Masters working with those individuals and groups who are anxious to raise their own vibration rates and assume a lighter, more spiritual form.

Throughout the various teachings and channeled messages it is stressed that the exact timing and celestial agent involved cannot be made known to us at Earth level. Tradition and current channeled information, however, consistently predict that these changes will be precipitated by a celestial body, such as a comet, approaching Earth some time during the last years of this century. Also consistent in both the Biblical and the more recently channeled messages is the assurance that the signs will be quite clear, and that it is up to individuals to make their own choices of belief or disbelief, and consequent action, based on their own personal inner guidance and intuition.

The unifying theme of these predictions, therefore, is not one of mindless planetary destruction. Rather it is an issue of much wider implication, a cleansing of our Planet prior to an upward movement in the vibratory metabolism not only of our Planet Earth but of our entire solar system, a change which has been scheduled for many millennia. For Humanity the Changes will present choices and challenges requiring awareness, acceptance, and perhaps some changes in our own attitudes and actions. Following Planet Earth's major physical and environmental cleansing, a "new" human race will in due course return, raised in vibration rate and in spiritual development after a dozen or so years' sojourn under the guidance and hospitality of our Space Brothers.

Many may find instinctively that these predictions and their explanations touch a deep chord of recognition, or "inner knowing". But even those who remain doubtful should consider opening their minds to the possibility. For a mind open to the possibility of major change will find it a stimulating exercise; and an open mind is a prepared mind - whatever the outcome.

And it is in the interests of us all that we should open to the possibility of an impending Day of Judgment, a final sorting of the "wheat from the chaff". Though many might dismiss talk of the Final Judgment as "Bible-thumping" it never does any harm to "consider the error of our ways"; few could deny that individual and collective conduct on this planet leaves considerable room for improvement.

Prophets and prophecies of the impending end of the world have been with us for so long that we have become accustomed to them, at worst ridiculing them, at best ignoring them. In these latter years of the current millennium however there is a renewed and growing interest.

The Bible gives many predictions which tell clearly and graphically of the Final Day of Judgment, and the Second Coming of The Christ with the Golden Age to follow.

The "Day of Judgment" is traditionally divided into several different sequences, starting with the Rapture in which those who are "just and faithful to the ways of the Lord" are lifted up to the heavens to avoid the Tribulation which follows. This is the next phase, as the Wrath of the Lord descends upon the Earth in a great cleansing of the planet and those remaining on it who have failed the Final Judgment of God. A small Remnant of those who live through the initial ordeals and thereby repent and learn to change their ways, will survive long enough to be taken off before the final cleansing.

Then begins the New Millennium, the 1,000-year Day of the Lord, with the return of The Christ to Earth as the Prince of Peace, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Isaiah describes the Tribulation graphically in the old Testament: Behold the day of the Lord cometh cruel both with wrath and fierce anger to lay the Land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of Heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the Sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the Moon shall not cause her light to shine. And I will punish the World for their evil and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the Terrible. I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man the Golden Wedge of Ophir. Therefore I will shake the Heavens, and the Earth shall remove out of her place. Isaiah 13: 9-13

The New Testament gives four major prophecies of the Final Day of Judgment and the Second Coming of The Christ: from the Apostles Mark, Luke and Matthew, and the Book of Revelations by St. John of the Island of Patmos.

In the Gospel according to Saint Luke, Jesus speaks of the "Signs before the End" and the Second Coming:

The days will come, in which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. Nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from Heaven.

And there shall be signs in the Sun, and in the Moon, and in the stars; and upon the Earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the Earth: for the powers of Heaven shall be shaken.

And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. Luke 21: 6, 10, 25-28

Likewise from Saint Matthew: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the Angels of Heaven, but my Father only. Matthew 24: 21-22; 29, 36

In the Book of Revelations, Saint John the Divine was given a vision in which a high Angel broke seven seals, each containing a revelation, a future vision.

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; and the stars of Heaven fell unto the Earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

And the Heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven. And I saw the seven Angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

The first Angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the Earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

And the second Angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; and the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.

And the third Angel sounded, and there fell a great star from Heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; and the name of the star is called Wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.

And the seventh Angel sounded; and there were great voices in Heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 6:12-14; 8:1-2 & 7-11; 11:15

The Buddhist tradition also foretells the end of the present civilization 2,500 years after the birth of the Buddha, at which time mankind will be redeemed by Maitreya, the future Buddha. The exact birth year of the Buddha is not known, but the earliest of several dates is 566 BC, thus confirming the timing of the predicted changes at the end of this century.

In the 16th century, the French prophet Nostradamus made many predictions extending from his own time to the end of this present century. He accurately predicted the French Revolution, details of Napoleons's career and exile to Elba, events of World War II including the initial invasions and triumph of Germany and the death of Mussolini; he made puns on the names of Hitler and Roosevelt and referred to the use of atom bombs.

Nostradamus also made a prophecy concerning a catastrophe which will occur on the 9th of September 1999. In a letter to Henri II of France, he specifies the signs by which it will be recognized:

There will be a solar eclipse more dark and gloomy than any since the creation of the world, except the death of Christ. And it shall be in the month of October that a great movement of the globe will happen, and it will be such that one will think the gravity of the Earth has lost its natural balance and that it will be plunged into the abyss and perpetual blackness of space. There will be portents and signs in the spring, extreme changes, nations overthrown, and mighty earthquakes.

For according to the celestial signs, the Golden Age shall return, and after all calculations, with the world near to an all-encompassing revolution. This will be after the visible judgment of Heaven, before we reach the millennium which shall complete all.

In the early 1830s the Church of the Latter Day Saints was founded on the prophecies given to Joseph Smith by the Angelic Being Moroni, and Smith's subsequent discovery under Moroni's direction of buried golden tablets inscribed with much ancient wisdom which was to become the Book of Mormon.

The Mormon teachings repeat the Biblical warnings of great judgments which were coming upon the Earth, with great desolations by famine, sword, and pestilence...

And when that day shall come they shall be visited of the Lord of Hosts, with thunder and with earthquake, and with a great noise, and with storm, and with tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.

One of the best known of more recent psychics and clairvoyants is Edgar Cayce, who between 1901 and 1945 gave thousands of trance "readings". Cayce became well known for his trance diagnoses of illnesses and "miracle" cures documented and confirmed by medical science. He also gave many predictions of future events which proved unusually accurate. For the latter half of the twentieth century he predicted earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and catastrophic changes to the Earth's surface:

The Earth will be broken up in many places. The early portion will see a change in the physical aspect of the West Coast of America. There will be open waters appear in the northern portions of Greenland. There will be new lands seen off the Caribbean Sea, and dry land will appear. South America shall be shaken from the uppermost portion to the end, and in the Antarctic off Tierra del Fuego LAND, and a strait with rushing waters... (3976-15, Jan 19, 1934)

The Earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea. The upper portion of Europe will be changed as in the twinkling of an eye. Land will appear off the East coast of America... (3976-15, Jan 19, 1934)

There will be upheavals in the Arctic and the Antarctic that will make for the eruptions of volcanos in the Torrid areas, and there will then be the shifting of the poles - so that where there have been frigid or semi-tropical areas, these will become the more tropical, and moss and fern will grow... (3976-15, Jan 19, 1934)

In the next few years, lands will appear in the Atlantic as well as in the Pacific. And what is the coastline now of many a land will be the bed of the ocean... Portions of the now East coast of New York, or New York City itself, will in the main disappear... while the southern portions of Carolina, Georgia, these will disappear. (1152-11, Aug 13, 1941)

Cayce also refers to ancient records of Atlantis hidden underground in a secret chamber near the Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, covering the entire history of mankind from pre-Egypt to the year 1998 - which is, said Cayce, "that period when there is to be the change in the Earth's position, and the return of the Great Initiate to that and other lands for the folding up of those prophecies that are depicted there." (5748-5)

In March 1994, NBC television network broadcast a special program entitled "Ancient Prophecies", covering both ancient and contemporary predictions of Earth Changes. It was seen by millions of American and Canadian viewers and prompted over 24,000 enquiries. A major feature was the prediction by Gordon-Michael Scallion of violent and significant geological changes coming to Earth in the late 1990s.

Mr. Scallion had worked in the field of communications and education until 1979 when he experienced a health crisis which left him with the gift of prophecy. Some of his more notable prophecies were the 1992 Californian earthquakes on April 22 and June 28, Hurricane Andrew in Florida, and the Mississippi floods of 1993.

Viewers of the March 1994 program were shown a Future Map of the United States: 1998-2001 which Mr Scallion had visualized through his inner sight. Published by his company Matrix Institute, the map shows major geological changes in the United States occurring in two distinct phases.

A first super-mega California earthquake (1997-8) in the 10-15 magnitude range causes a fracture along a line from Eureka to Bakersfield and southwest to the Gulf of California-Baja. Gaps and fissures occur running the length of the San Joaquin and Sacramento Valleys. Flooding inundates much of the coastal area of California, causing some of the existing land mass to become islands.

In a second major Californian earthquake the Central North American Plate is thrust violently upward on a tilt, causing much of California to go under the sea. Higher elevations remain as islands and become known as the Isles of California. A large part of the land mass west of a line running from Newport Oregon to Tucson Arizona breaks away and sinks within minutes. This line forms the new West Coast of the United States with Phoenix Arizona becoming a major seaport.

Along the eastern seaboard coastlines from Maine to Florida are also pushed inland for many miles. Atlanta Georgia becomes a new seaport. Florida is reduced in size by more than half and all the Florida Keys disappear beneath the sea.

In the center of the continent, a wide belt of water floods the Mississippi basin, connecting with the Great Lakes which rise and expand, cutting off the eastern part of the United States from the west and effectively creating two separate landmasses.

Mr. Scallion envisages the Earth's magnetic pole shifting twice to the west: seven degrees at first, and then a further six degrees as a result of magna displacement through a shifting of the Earth's core. As a contributory element he sees a large heavenly body entering our solar system, the "Blue Star", causing a realignment of Earth's position within the system.

Another future map of America was channeled through Lori Adaile Toye between 1988 and 1991, transmitted jointly by the Ascended Masters Saint Germain, Kuthumi, El Morya, Mother Mary, Sanat Kumara, Sananda, and other Masters of Earth's Spiritual Hierarchy; it is published as the New World Atlas by Seventh Ray Publishing of Payson Arizona.

This material shows remarkable similarities with the map produced by Mr Scallion. Much of the American west coast is inundated from Washington State down to southern Oregon, and the ocean covers most of California, Nevada and Utah thus creating a new coastline from the Rockies near Denver down to Phoenix, Arizona. Similarly the Mississippi River is expanded into a wide inlet, running up to an enlarged Great Lakes area, and the east coast is partially flooded with the bottom tip of Florida coming under the ocean.

Much the same story is told through quite a different source.

Hypnotic past-life regression is an established technique in which the patient under hypnosis is able to recall specific episodes from his or her past life or lives. The pioneering past-life and prenatal work of Dr Helen Wambach PhD is reviewed in her two published books Recalling Past Lives (Harper & Row 1978) and Life Before Life (Bantam Books 1979). Having demonstrated this technique to her satisfaction during a series of group workshops, Dr Wambach wondered how it would work when applied to the future. She therefore began giving similar workshops offering participants a chance to look ahead at their possible future lives through hypnotic progression, projection not into the past but into the future.

Dr Wambach was assisted in her research and experiments by Dr Chet Snow PhD, who also became the subject of a series of future life projections in 1983. Dr Snow was at that time an historian/archivist working as a civilian employee of the United States Air Force, though he subsequently obtained hypno-therapy certification and now practises in regression therapy. The fascinating record of these future projections under hypnosis is related in Dr Snow's book "Mass Dreams of the Future".

Under hypnosis, Dr Snow described aloud visions of his future life in the late 1990s. In 1997 he found himself living on a remote ranch north of Phoenix Arizona, in a small community which had been set up both as a school for the development of psychic communication skills (mental telepathy) and as a survival base for the foreseen impending world changes.

From his 1997 viewpoint he recounted that their small community was busy laying in stocks of food and other supplies now becoming both expensive and scarce. In the world news, weather patterns were becoming increasingly unpredictable with freak storms, record heat and cold periods, drought and exceptional rainfalls around the globe. The world stock markets and financial systems were collapsing.

Progressing to mid-March 1998, Dr Snow was made aware that a major earthquake had just hit the Pacific Rim area. The coastline areas of southern California had sunk, submerging the once densely built-up coastal areas under the sea. Mount Fuji had erupted, causing much of Japan to sink and triggering a chain of earthquakes and eruptions all around the Pacific "Ring of Fire" right up to Alaska.

By the end of March 1998 television and radio were telling every one that "the worst is over". As Dr Snow, still under hypnosis, recounted: "The water is receding slowly and we'll just have to adjust to the new situation. The Federal Government is already setting up temporary relocation centers farther inland and everyone is talking of rebuilding. A lot of cropland has been permanently lost however, not to mention so much of the Southern California coastline."

Moving forward two months to May 1998, Dr Snow now saw himself outside the ranch house tending to the horses and the gardens which they had planted for their vegetable supply. "There was a sudden rumble deep within the Earth and a quick rolling 'lurch', which knocked me down for a moment. Part of the ranch house collapsed and people came pouring out, crying and yelling."

This was the "Big One", the second major earthquake within two months in Southern California, far more devastating than the previous one. It accelerated the sinking of major areas along the West Coast so that the coastline moved up to within a couple of hundred miles of Phoenix Arizona, and only the mountain areas remained above water all the way up to Oregon. In the south, the Gulf of Mexico surged inward over Texas; our part of Arizona was more or less cut off to both the east and west by water.

Moving forward under hypnosis again to the first day of June 1988, Dr Snow continues:

"At first everything appeared totally black around me. Then I realized that the sky was completely dark now. The weather had also worsened as tons of dust and volcanic ash were thrown into the atmosphere by this second series of eruptions. Although the worst occurred during the first few weeks of havoc, the Sun simply did not return. Most green vegetation in a wide belt of the temperate zone withered and died."

Since World War II there has been an enormous growth of channeled communications from the Higher Realms concerning millennium-end tribulations and geological changes.

From the Master Hilarion, a member of Earth's Spiritual Hierarchy:

The cities will become piles of rubble. The beautiful woodland scenes will be flattened by the might of terrible storms. Great earthquakes will rip the mantle of the planet apart in a patchwork of destruction never before seen on the planet in the entire history of the race.

Continents sunk thousands of years ago will rear up out of the ocean to show man that his civilization is not the first, and that this is not the first time that his efforts have been crushed by catastrophe.

The atmospheric storms which will roar across the surface will tear down forests of trees at a single swipe, and raise water out of the natural reservoirs of lake and ocean to spread destruction and inundation far inland from the shore. Nothing will remain of the once-vaunted civilization that men have built for themselves.

During the last portion of the Tribulation, the light of the Sun and the Moon will be shrouded out completely for long periods, and the very air that is breathed will turn to a foul miasma in the lungs.

The Master HILARION, channeled by Maurice B. Cooke in The Nature of Reality. First published 1979. Marcus Books, Queensville, Ontario, Canada

The Master Jesus-Sananda:

And there shall be a mighty earthquake and it shall split in twain the country of North America, and it shall be as nothing the world has known before, for it shall be that there shall be a great part of the great land of the north continent go down, and a great sea shall form within her center part from Canada into the Gulf of Mexico.

And the waters of the Mediterranean shall wash over the land to the north unto the polar zone and it shall return unto its place, and the Black Sea and the Mediterranean shall become one sea. And there shall be great changes within the borders of Asia.

Africa shall be changed - her shoreline shall be broken to the West, and great rivers shall flow within the desert.

Ye have been told time and time again that the Earth shall shift upon her axis, and so shall she. There shall be a change of climate. That which is now the barren North shall become semi-tropical. Trees shall bear semi-tropical fruit and the fauna shall be that of a new species. And that which is the impassable barrier of the South Pole shall be penetrated and Man shall discover a new continent within.

Brother Philip of the Abbey of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays in the Peruvian Andes near Lake Titicaca gives transcripts channeled by voice from the Hierarchy of the Great White Brotherhood in his book Secret of the Andes; here he quotes Sanat Kumara, a highly evolved Master from Venus who assumed the role of Planetary Logos of Earth 18 million years ago:

And now we enter this great period of initiation. The skies of Earth will become fantastic. I say verily that pen has not recorded nor voice uttered that which shall become a great sign and display in the skies of the Earth, for the elements themselves will have control for a short period of time. There will be great rainstorms and floods. You have heard how it rained forty days and nights. That is nothing compared to what it will rain. Perhaps it would be forty months. The entire face of the Earth shall change. It will become unrecognizable.

Very soon the winds shall howl, sooner than we can realize. It is already upon us, for I have witnessed it on the plane which is just above that of physical expression upon the Earth, and that means that if it descends one more plane it shall find reality.

The following is a communication from a committee of the Spiritual Hierarchy composed of Lord (Archangel) Michael, Lord Jesus Sananda, Lord Kuthumi, Mother Mary and Commander Ashtar:

The final cleansing of the planet will be that of fire which will be instigated by the return of the "Comet" and the fallout from this event. It will not happen until the final days, but it will come about in short order. In your Book of Revelations this "comet" is known as Wormwood, and though much controversy will surround this subject, it is in fact going to happen and must be filtered through the mass consciousness. Currently it has been identified as a mass of light in the sky. This is in fact a great body of matter which John saw as a "comet" and referred to it as such. It is going to interact with this planet and its influence will be quite devastating.

One of several recently channeled predictions coming from the two nearby star systems much concerned with Earth's past development, that of Sirius and the Pleiades, can be found in "You Are Becoming A Galactic Human" by Virginia Essen and Sheldon Nidle, published in 1994. Sheldon Nidle communicates with the Sirius Star System Council who predict that the process of change for Earth and our solar system at the end of this millennium will be initiated by our solar system's entry into the outer ring of a huge doughnut-shaped "photon belt" composed of photon light particles, situated in the vicinity of the Pleiades. This will initiate the total cleansing and restructuring of Earth's surface, together with a change in our molecular structure, raising us from the third density level, to the lower fourth "dimension" and eventually towards the fifth at the end of the Third Millennium. The Sirians project the ending of the Tribulation period between the years 2012 and 2013; this coincides with the long-held occult tradition of Christ's return to Earth around the years 2011 and 2012, the astrological commencement of the Age of Aquarius.

The Pleiadians also have an old and close association with planet Earth. Long ago they chose to escape the conflicts which were taking place on their original home planet in the Lyran star system and took up residence on Earth. Later they were forced to leave due to the increasing presence on Earth of their former masters, the Lyrians. They then took up residence on a new planet in the Pleiadian star system. They have nonetheless kept a close watch over us down through the ages, and rendered us assistance whenever they felt it necessary.

In a recent new book "The Pleiadian Workbook", channeled by Amorah Quan Yin (published 1996 by Bear & Company, Santa Fe, New Mexico), the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light, speaking through their spokesperson Ra, give us an important insight to the overall picture of the coming changes:

You and your planet are undergoing a unique and wondrous transition in your spiritual evolution at this time. You are preparing for a quantum leap unlike any that has ever occurred before. In order to help you understand this more fully, I must first tell you about the orbit of the entire galaxy around the Great Central Sun of All That Is. Just like your "solar ring" - our term for "solar system" - orbits around the Galactic Center, the galaxy itself moves through space in the form of continual, connecting circles, like a great cosmic spiral. At the completion point of a multi billion-year single circular orbit around the Great Central Sun, our galaxy connects diagonally to the next ring on the great cosmic spiral. When this diagonal move from one ring of the great cosmic spiral to the next takes place, all of the planets, solar systems, and their inhabitants simultaneously take an initiatic step into a new evolutionary cycle. This is occurring now. You are not only at the end of a 26,000-year Earth/Sun/Pleiadian cycle; the entire Pleiadian system, which includes this solar ring, is at the end of a 230,000,000-year orbit around the Galactic Center, and the entire galaxy is at the completion of its infinitely longer orbit around the Great Central Sun....

Prior to the shift at the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013, Earth will undergo a spiritual and physical housecleaning corresponding to what have commonly been called "Earth changes." These changes, which have already begun, intensify both externally and internally as your solar ring moves deeper into the photon band, a high-frequency cosmic emanation from the Galactic Center. You have been in and out of the edges of this photon band for a few years now, and, by the year 2000, will be completely immersed in this band for the next 2000 years.

Floods, earthquakes, changes in land masses, volcanic eruptions, and finally a complete pole shift will all take place within the remaining years prior to the year 2013, at which time the galactic solar initiation of Earth, as a mystery school and home for the Cities of Light, will take place. You who now live on Earth must choose whether or not you are ready to become spiritually responsible human beings in order to remain on Earth beyond that time. Those who do not wish to remain on Earth will be taken to another planet in a different part of the galaxy where karmic lessons and third-dimensional evolution will continue.

As we consider the possibility and the implications of these Earth Changes, we may be quite certain that physical changes of enormous magnitude have already occurred many times during Planet Earth's long history.

We tend quite naturally to regard "our Earth" as a stable and unchanging home, a "sure stronghold" which could never be substantially disrupted. Our confidence may from time to time be shaken by major earthquakes and typhoons, but these soon pass, and we prefer to regard them as minor temporary upsets in an otherwise comfortable and predictable environment. There is however much geological evidence of sudden and major structural changes having taken place on Planet Earth in the past; and it is not unreasonable to consider the possibility that what has happened in the past may well be repeated.

Historical accounts written many centuries ago bear witness to previous planetary disruptions. Immanuel Velikovsky has made a major contribution to research in this area; his Worlds in Collision, written in 1950, assembles numerous Biblical and ancient historical references to such events, drawing substantially on contemporary accounts from the Middle East and lower Mexico.

He quotes, for example, a long inscription in hieroglyphics on a shrine of black granite found at el-Arish on the border of Egypt and Palestine. It reads: The land was in great affliction. Evil fell on this earth. There was a great upheaval in the residence. Nobody could leave the palace during nine days, and during these nine days of upheaval there was such a tempest that neither men nor gods could see the faces of those beside them.

This inscription corresponds exactly with Exodus 10,22: And there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days.

East of Egypt, in Babylonia, the eleventh tablet of the Epic of Gilgamesh refers to the same events. From out of the horizon rose a dark cloud and it rushed against the Earth; the land was shrivelled by the heat of flames. Desolation stretched to heaven; all that was bright was turned into darkness. Nor could a brother distinguish his brother. (For) six days the hurricane, deluge, and tempest continued sweeping the land, and all humans back to their clay were returned.

The historian Ipuwer witnessed and survived this earthquake, recounting that: the towns are destroyed, Upper Egypt has become a waste. All is ruin. The residence is overturned in a minute. (Papyrus Ipuwer 2:11, 3:13)

From his research into ancient documents, Velikovsky concludes that the Earth was forced out of its regular motion by the close approach of the body of a comet: a major shock convulsed the lithosphere, and the area of the earthquake was the entire globe. Terrific hurricanes swept the Earth because of the change or reversal of the angular velocity of rotation and because of the sweeping gases, dust, and cinders of the comet.

He supports this contention of worldwide disruptions with similar quotations from historical records of Mexican tradition.

The Mexican sacred book Popol-Vuh, the Manuscript Cakchiquel, and the Manuscript Troano all record how the mountains in every part of the Western Hemisphere simultaneously gushed lava. The volcanoes that opened along the entire chain of the Cordilleras and in other mountain ranges and on flat land vomited fire, vapour, and torrents of lava.

Velikovsky quotes Manuscript Troano and other documents of the Mayas which describe a cosmic catastrophe during which the ocean fell upon the continent and a terrible hurricane swept the Earth. These records provide graphic accounts of hurricanes which broke up and carried away all towns and forests. Exploding volcanoes, tides sweeping over mountains, and raging winds threatened to annihilate humankind, and actually did annihilate many species of animals. The face of the Earth changed, mountains collapsed, other mountains grew and rose over the onrushing cataract of water driven from oceanic spaces, numberless rivers lost their beds, and a wild tornado moved through the debris descending from the sky.

The ancients referred to the physical agent that brought darkness and swept away houses and trees and even rocks and mounds of earth as Hurakan, from which our present word "hurricane" is derived. Hurakan, it is recorded, destroyed the major part of the human race. In the darkness swept by wind, resinous stuff fell from the sky and participated with fire on water in the destruction of the world. For five days, save for the burning naphtha and burning volcanoes, the world was dark, since the sun did not appear.

In a later book, Earth in Upheaval, Velikovsky takes a different approach, now supporting Biblical and other historical references with currently visible geological evidence of past upheavals.

He describes, for example, an area in Alaska to the north of Mount McKinley which has a frozen layer of "muck" composed of a jumble of trees and extinct animals such as the mammoth, mastodon and super-bison. This was analyzed by Professor F.C. Hibben of the University of New Mexico, who concluded:

"There is ample evidence that at least portions of this material were deposited under catastrophic conditions. Mammal remains are for the most part dismembered and disarticulated, even though some fragments yet retain, in their frozen state, portions of ligaments, skin, hair, and flesh. Twisted and torn trees are piled in splintered masses. At least four considerable layers of volcanic ash may be traced in these deposits, although they are extremely warped and distorted.

"The presence of volcanic ash indicates that a volcanic eruption did take place, and repeatedly, in four consecutive stages of the same epoch; but it is also apparent that the trees could have been uprooted and splintered only by hurricane or flood or a combination of both agencies. The animals could have been dismembered only by a stupendous wave that lifted and carried and smashed and tore and buried millions of bodies and millions of trees. Also, the area of the catastrophe was much greater than the action of a few volcanoes could have covered."

During the late 1830s Hugh Miller made a special study of the Old Red Sandstone in Scotland. In the red sandstone an abundant aquatic fauna is embedded. The animals are in disturbed positions. Miller writes: "some terrible catastrophe involved in sudden destruction the fish of an area at least a hundred miles from boundary to boundary, perhaps more. The same platform in Orkney as at Cromarty is strewed thick with remains, which exhibit unequivocally the marks of violent death. The figures are contorted, contracted, curved; the tail in many instances is bent around to the head; the spines stick out; the fins are spread to the full, as if in fish that die in convulsions."

In 1901 a quick-frozen mammoth was found in Beresovka, Siberia, so well preserved that its eyeballs were fully intact. It still had buttercups in its mouth and the content of its stomach indicated that it had been eating temperate zone plants no longer growing in the area. R.S. Lull, director of the Peabody Museum at Yale reports the discovery in his book Organic Evolution, confirming that "a fractured hip and fore limb, a great mass of clotted blood in the chest, and unswallowed grass between the clenched teeth, all point to the violence and suddenness of its passing."

Rock geology shows that there have been major uplifts of land masses around the globe. The great massif of the Himalayas is estimated to have risen to its present height since the last Ice Age of over 11,000 years ago. Likewise the Andes in South America also show evidence of having been thrust upwards at this time.

Many other researchers have identified evidence of major geological changes during our Planet's long history; indeed, there are many areas in which even a casual observer can see such evidence for him or herself, as for example when erosion shows cross-sections of hillsides miles from the present coastline displaying deposits of seashells.

A particularly dramatic example, quoted in Doomsday 1999 A.D. by Charles Berlitz, can be found in Bolivia. The stone city of Tiahuanaco is so old that its broken pottery shows pictures of Pleistocene animals. Although Tiahuanaco is now at an altitude of 13,500 feet, too high for a population to live, its docks and quays indicate that it was once a seaport and that it rose with the Andes when they were created 11,000 years ago.

Set against the wider time-frame of Earth's long history and the many dramatic changes which have already occurred, current predictions of major Earth Changes may now perhaps seem less extreme. Civilizations have been overturned, and the planet's very geography has been dramatically changed many times before, and there is no scientific evidence to support the contention that such changes will not happen many times again.

The historical context can be further broadened by adding yet another dimension: the view taken on "higher" levels.

Most people today look at the history of Humanity and think that it has lasted for only thirty thousand years or so, but they do not know of Atlantis, of Lemuria and of Cordemia. They do not know of other civilisations which have come and gone, of other cycles of human evolution which do not form part of the history and knowledge of Humanity today.

The Earth has had many civilizations and, when one has gone to the bottomless pit, man rises in his cultural development and again builds a glorious civilization with great scientific and technical advance. But again the civilization drops to the bottomless pit. There is the error of the Earth, for on Venus there has never been a destruction of a civilization. On the planet you know as Mars it has occurred twice. But how many hundreds of times has it taken place on the Earth!

The Master SANAT KUMARA, channeled by Brother Philip in Secret of the Andes - Leaves of Grass Press, NOVATO California

Expanding the dimension of view yet further, esoteric teachings provide much detail as to the background of, and reasons for these predicted changes.

Just as many of us may prefer to view our planet as timelessly stable and unchanging, closing our minds to past and possible future disruptions, many also have a parallel view of Planet Earth as an inanimate object which we may exploit and abuse at our pleasure.

The Higher Wisdom however gives us a view which is now gaining increasingly wide acceptance on Earth, that Mother/Goddess Earth is a living sentient Being to whom we owe not just our respect, but the privilege of being permitted to reside and evolve upon her surface.

Goddess Earth, or Gaia as she is also known, is indeed a very High Being belonging to an earlier wave of creative Light Beings. She is correctly referred to in the female as she has retained a dominant female characteristic. Having completed her own first cycle of evolution and returned to the Godhead, she accepted higher service as a Planetary Being ensouling the body of Planet Earth. She has been given a spiritual link with all evolving lifeforms within and on her form through the appointed Planetary Logos, Sanat Kumara, who trained for this position on Planet Venus.

Gaia is a very powerful Being. By the invocation of a single word she can transform the whole nature of her being. Although she has released partial dominion to Humanity in the form of the mineral, plant and animal life so that Humanity may learn therefrom, ultimately Gaia controls the planet and the nature of what manifests on its surface. Nature is her nature.

This planet is now approaching a time in its evolutionary cycle when it will change dramatically, rather like a snake throwing off its old skin. Every so many thousands of years, no matter whether Humanity is incarnated on Earth or not, this planet goes through a metamorphic change as part of its natural cycle. As our physical bodies replace themselves every seven years, so does the planet's body. This is essential for the planet in order to preserve the creative, the reproductive nature of its being. So at its appointed time the planet goes through a cycle of transformation. This necessarily involves major movement of the planet's landmasses, movement of the waters, and the restructuring of the matter of the Earth.

The need for a thorough cleansing of Planet Earth at this time is more than a matter of routine however.

Planet Earth has served as host to the lowest evolutionary levels within our solar system for at least twenty six million years, and has thus become a place of conflict, a venue for unruly souls coming from throughout our galaxy. As a result there has been a gradual accumulation of negative thought, seen from higher spheres as a black cloud surrounding Earth at the astral (emotional) level, in addition to the physical pollution caused directly by humanity. When Earth has been thoroughly cleansed she will begin a new phase of living on a higher plane, inhabited by a "new humanity" also manifesting at this higher level.

Before the New Age can begin on Earth, our Planet will be rewarded for its years of service at the lowest level by undergoing a thorough cleansing of its surface, removing and neutralizing our cumulative environmental damage and the dark cloud of accumulated negative thought which now surrounds us.

The physical manifestation of this great cleansing will be precipitated by a tilting of the Earth's axis resulting in the Planet being literally "shaken up". This will cause an expansion of her molecules to a more tenuous, less dense aggregation, thus allowing a higher vibration rate.

The cause of the destruction that shall come upon the Earth is from man's own thinking. The Elements! They are intelligent life! They are part of the Infinite One, and because they are part of the Infinite One they will not respond to man's negative thinking any longer. And they will rebel, causing great tidal waves and great winds.

So be aware that this moment of rebirth is coming. The timing and the nature of the changes are known only to God. Whilst Humanity can, and will influence these changes, it can not and will not prevent their happening. The test for Humanity lies in its acceptance of the Earth changes as a natural and necessary happening, as an event which it has chosen to experience.

The Master ZEN TAO, channeled by the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury in The Wisdom of Ramala - The C.W. Daniel Co. Ltd., Saffron Walden, Essex - 1986

Planet Earth has performed the role of host to the lowest level of human evolution and has suffered excessive abuse and pollution as a result. Further evidence of Planet Earth's sacrifice is offered in an unusual testimony by Elouai, an Angelic Being.

Greetings to you, my beloveds. I am Elouai and I am a builder. I am not upon your Human line of evolution, but I am not one of what you call the Nature Forces. I stand with a company of others outside your planet. I am not a space Being from another planet. My home is within the higher dimensional vibrations of space. I want to communicate to you what we feel about your Earth and your work. My companions and I are among those who dwelt in space and were brought here long ages ago as companions of the God who created this solar system.

We are builders within His realm. Every planet that is formed is in a dynamic state of life and of growth, drawing to itself the substances of nourishment and releasing that which it cannot assimilate. Thus, there are those forms and manifestations of energy in creation which are the unused, unintegrated, unresolved and untransmuted results of the creative process.

As in all living systems, until perfection and complete wholeness are achieved, there are in the body of the Solar Logos, which is the Solar System and all its planets on all their levels of being, those forces and energies which correspond to waste material. These must be transmuted and reintegrated into the cycle of life as raw material for future creativity. In the evolutionary movement forward through time, this residue which is left behind must be gathered up and purified, and then returned to the creative cycle; it cannot be allowed to accumulate or to express itself within the evolving body as centres of unintegrated and separate energies existing out of timing and out of place, hence becoming sources of evil.

Please understand that for various reasons, Earth was set aside for the special task of being the purifier for your solar system for a period of time. Hence, there were attracted to your world those elements which I have mentioned of unresolved, unintegrated matter, energy and life to be harnessed into the denser nature of material form. Left in their exposed state, these energies had the power to impact harmfully upon the sensitive fabric of the Solar Being and upon the other planets and their life-forms, being like a toxin within the systems of your own bodies.

However, by being encapsulated into dense matter within the body of Earth, their vibrations could be slowed down and shielded from the body of the whole until these energies could be purified and reintegrated harmoniously and in love into the whole. As this was done, the purifiers and redeemers came to Earth as well as those who will yet be purifiers and redeemers in destinies yet unperceived and perhaps undreamed of by you. Earth became a schoolhouse in the experiences of confronting and resolving the challenges of primitive creativity and evolution.

Your planet became an arena for the interplay of the forces of evolution on many levels and the forces of non-integrated life and energy from many sources, some quite primitive and others more evolved, but all within a sidetrack of evolution that placed these energies outside the communion of the whole. Thus, Earth became analogous to a kidney in the body of the solar system, regulating and transmuting the energies throughout the system, removing impurities and returning to the body of the whole only what is harmonious and integrated with the progressive evolution of the whole. Beings who had become tainted with energies of retrogressive evolution or devolution would come to Earth to be cleansed and reunited with the whole.

In this fashion, your planet has performed a tremendous service to all lifestreams and all planetary systems within the solar family, enabling them to continue their patterns of development with greater ease.

No planet or Being is asked to perform such a transmutative and sacrificial task endlessly, nor is it allowed to do so. The time must come when it takes up its own pattern of growth, new service and development. Now Earth seeks and is given Her redemption in a vast initiatory process occurring throughout the total body and life of the Solar Father. We who have associated with Earth since Her inception now look upon this time as one of beauty without measure, joy without comparison.

Those forms which still remain within unregenerated aspects of primitive and separative expression will be lovingly removed, with respect for their essential Divine nature, to other areas which have newly taken on the transmutative function. Now a vast work of purification is upon us to cleanse and beautify Earth as one would beautify and enrobe a bride before her marriage; in this fashion we greet Earth in Her time of great joy and accomplishment. This event seeks its expression through your hearts and minds and your dedication.

Earth will always remain a place of special strength and contribution. Now she must progress with Her own evolution more rapidly than She could do if She remained within the service of transmutation. Because of this, you now see a great flood of population incarnating in order to take this opportunity for purification that they may maintain their link with solar evolution; otherwise they must sleep the long sleep to be reawakened in a future time in a future land.

Those who reject the renewal of Earth and her resident Humanity should question whether our present condition of planetary pollution and human conflict are really so worthy of preservation. On higher levels the rejuvenation of Planet Earth, already regarded as the most beautiful of planets, is seen as an event of great joy. As for Humanity, it is for individuals to choose whether or not to join the move upwards, and having chosen, to strive accordingly.

The Earth is a beautiful world, vastly more beautiful than some of its neighbours. I have always loved the Earth beyond all other creations, for I see within it a melody that has not yet escaped into the ethers. I see it crying as one bound! But it shall not be deprived its celestial song much longer.

SANAT KUMARA, channeled by Brother Philip in Secret of the Andes - Leaves of Grass Press, NOVATO California

Earth as a Planetary Being has reached a point of major change in her development and now awaits her initiation to a higher plane. But this in turn is part of an even wider plan, for our whole solar system has reached a similar point in its collective evolution and is ready to take an upward step to a higher vibratory level.

Our solar system, in its long orbit around the central sun of our Milky Way galaxy, is approaching another and larger solar system of higher overall vibration rate. Although it may be some time before we finally enter the outer radius of the new system, we are already becoming subject to its extended magnetic influence. This will very soon alter the orbits of planets within our solar system, and will also be an agent in the overall stepping-up of vibration rates. Though this imminent change requires that all our neighboring planets go through an initiation into higher Planes of Being, they will be able to do so relatively smoothly, without the traumatic physical changes necessary on Earth.

Our entire Solar System is now coming into the great initiation, for it is true that we are now heading directly for the Super-sun which governs our Galaxy, around which countless island universes perpetually move and have existence. Our System is heading for the centre of this activity, and this increased rate of vibration will profoundly affect everything in our System; whether it be mental, physical, or spiritual it will not escape the change in the new vibration of energy that is coming.

The Earth is about ready to become a "sun", not like the Sun of your System, but it shall be surrounded by a golden corona. It is stepping into a higher rate of vibration. You are going from a third density to a fourth density world. This must necessarily take place as you pass through the heart of the great cosmic cloud. And then shall the prophecies, as recorded by Joel and many of the others come true; when the Sun shall turn blood red and the Moon shall be red as the ruby, and the day shall be gone and it shall be dark upon the Earth for a period of two weeks. There shall be much confusion. And the oxygen will be reduced upon the Earth for a short period, followed by periods of great moisture, baking heat and parched areas alternating with great moisture. Almost everything upon the face of the Earth will be destroyed.

We are now on the border of this great initiation, we are heading closer and closer to its centre and fulfilment. That is why Christ returns to the Earth: because always the great Master of a solar system incarnates and gives aid to the planet which is lowest in progression in that system.

Yes, those who say catastrophe comes are true; they speak with truth; but the Earth will not end. It shall become new, as it is written. It does not say the world will end. It says there shall be a new Heaven and a new Earth; not a new Earth through the destruction of the old, but a new Earth - the old made new.

The Master SANAT KUMARA, channeled by Brother Philip in Secret of the Andes - Leaves of Grass Press, NOVATO California

This stepping-up and initiation has long been scheduled for Earth by the Hierarchial Board in charge of Earth's evolution. The incarnation of the Master Sananda as Jesus of Palestine marked the two-thousand year approach to the final Day of Judgment and the Second Coming of The Christ.

Jesus-Sananda, whose many incarnations on Earth have included Sananda, a great spiritual leader at the time of the original civilization on Earth of the Elder Race (the Cains and Abels) over 26 million years ago, and later as Jesus of Palestine, presently holds office for a second time on our Earth plane as World Teacher and embodiment of The Christ.

Nada-Yolanda channels from the Spiritual Hierarchy as part of the Mark-Age Unit based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The following is part of the "Second Coming Announcement" by Jesus-Sananda, channeled through her on August 17th 1966:

I speak in the name of Jesus, Lord of this World and of all which concerns this Earth sphere. I am he who is known as the Christ, and through this channel announce my coming unto Earth once more. It is my intention that all who know and believe in this shall see and shall welcome it in the flesh. I have not come before this time, for man was not ready to receive his Lord...

Our Lord and Master of this Universe, known as Lord Michael (Archangel Michael), and he who is my master teacher, Maitreya, the Lord also, are conversant with and in command over all universal laws and material laws physical to those particular dimensions...

You have been alerted to these days and these times in the last two thousand years, since the resurrection of my body and my personality. In that time and in that consequence I never have ceased to work continuously... in the efforts to bring forth this Second-Coming announcement. In the days ahead we prepare all for it; one here and there, many, crying out the word and the announcement...

I now enact the role given unto me throughout the ages: to be your way-shower, to be your Prince, to be the Lord of the World and all that involves the Earth planet...

I am Sananda of the Hierarchal Board, known on Earth through my last incarnational frequency as Jesus the Christ, Lord of this World and of the planet known as Earth.

Thus the long-prophesied cleansing and physical changes to Planet Earth at the end of this millennium will usher in the real New Age and the Second Coming of Christ, the New Millennium of the Golden Age of a Thousand Years of Peace under The Christ on Earth.

Planet Earth, in the process of the changes to come, will be stepping up to the higher vibratory rate of the lower etheric level, often referred to as the "fourth density" or "dimension". Our neighboring planets are already on this level and although they themselves will be stepping up to the fifth dimension and beyond they will remain within a density range that will allow us to communicate and directly interact with them.

As the Universe, as your world moves forward into fourth density, into a higher frequency, physical density becomes less dense: that which is of lesser density. Higher frequency becomes more and more light, so that in the transition of the Earth - in that higher frequency - every atom and molecule will have a lighter density and will indeed create light within it. That is not only for humans, but also for the flora and fauna and for your whole planet. As it changes resonance to the higher frequency, it becomes lighter and lighter.

Though the Earth Changes are generally spoken of as "predictions" for the future, many Higher sources confirm that preparations are far-advanced and that subtle changes are already taking place.

There will be great devastation all over the Earth. It has, of course, happened before. You may read in the literature of ancient Man, and in the Bible, of similar occurrences.

Leading up to this event there will be much disharmony and destruction as the vibratory rate of the Earth is quickened. This will occur before the great uprighting of the Earth on its axis which will take place around the end of this century.

The great Beings who govern matter through their knowledge of Infinite Law are trying to quicken the vibration of the Earth, to bring into operation a quicker and a higher frequency. In so doing there is what appears to Man to be confusion and disruption, for he is held between the sluggishness of his own body, caused by his past behaviour, and the attempt by the Lords of the planet to bring him into a higher frequency of consciousness.

As a further element in the preparations, substantial numbers of "Light Workers" or "Light Servers" have with their own prior agreement and training on Higher Levels incarnated specifically to facilitate the process of lightening and to further assist at the time of the Tribulation.

The many messages and prophecies from the Masters and Higher Spheres confirm repeatedly that the Earth changes have long been scheduled as part of a Higher Plan, and that humanity must be ready to flow with the Plan.

To you, perhaps, the concept of Armageddon is frightening. It signifies the release of energies beyond the control of Humanity, but if Humanity did but know it, it rarely controls its own environment. Because of its great intellectual progress Humanity has been led into believing that it is the master of its fate, that it is the master of the physical World, that Humanity alone decides the path on which it walks. But those of you who are aware of the God in all things, who recognize that the Divine Plan alone manifests on this Earth, know in your heart that the cycle which is now beginning was planned aeons of time ago. It has been seen on other levels and has been prophesied by many beings. It is a necessary path of evolution for this Earth. You are here, therefore, as witnesses to that path of evolution. Within your innermost beings is the knowledge of what is to come. It may not be with you on a conscious level, on a level which you can pull down into everyday physical reality, but within your heart is the knowledge of what is to come and the part that you must play in it.

RAMALA, channeled by the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury, in The Wisdom of Ramala - The C.W. Daniel Co. Ltd., Saffron Walden, Essex - 1986

The Day of Judgment is traditionally a time at the end of a particular phase of planetary evolution when an assessment of each and every Soul's attainment is made to determine those who are able to join the move up to a higher plane, and those who must start again elsewhere at the beginning of that phase in order to re-attempt the lessons they have failed to master.

There are practical reasons for this judgmental assessment. Those whose vibration rates are below a certain level, reflecting a lack of evolutionary progress, will not be able comfortably to make the transition to the higher level. They would find the intense light energy of the higher spheres quite painful to them. They would also be deprived of opportunity to express the many lower instincts and emotions which they have not as yet fully mastered; they would not feel at home in such an elevated world of refined sensibilities.

All the Masters and Guides communicating at this time stress the need for us to pass this final test on the physical level; this will allow those of appropriate vibration rate to move up to the higher vibratory levels.

Many have already proved themselves capable of handling this higher level of vibration.

For those whose destiny hangs in the balance, an eleventh-hour effort to reform and learn essential lessons can turn the scales. There will even be a final opportunity during the initial periods of the physical disturbances caused by the Tribulation, when the shock of the ordeals involved will offer wavering souls a last chance to make a wholehearted commitment to the Path of Unity and the Natural Order before the final Day of Judgment.

The time of Tribulation must therefore be seen as a dividing of the ways, the "sorting of the wheat from the chaff". And on this planet especially, endowed as we are with the ultimate expression of free choice, every individual has the opportunity to make significant choices moment by moment. Indeed in this present period of resolution the opportunities for choice will be multiplied and magnified.

The Master Hilarion, an Ascended Master from Planet Earth and a member of Earth's Planetary Hierarchy, comments on the Tribulation and the opportunities for mankind:

The Tribulation that has been planned for many thousands of years is descending upon the Earth. It will be recognized early by some who have remained aware of the higher truths, but most will fail to see that the last days are upon them until near the end of the time of trial.

We have spoken of the arrangement for humanity by which rebirth and karma were to allow individual souls to learn the main spiritual lessons and to settle the debts incurred when that learning process led to the harming of others. It was thought at first that this great plan would permit virtually all of mankind to achieve the basic goal, which was to escape by its own efforts from the wheel of rebirth and the karmic necessity.

But this hope was not realized. The temptation of Man's own base nature and the whisperings of the forces dedicated to his destruction proved, again and again, too strong for many souls whose resolve and whose spiritual sight were not sufficiently developed.

For this reason a new plan was devised in order to allow for all those whose steps had faltered, a final chance to gain the goal that had been set for Man. This plan was laid some twelve thousand years before the present, at about the time that the great continent of Atlantis sank to its final destruction beneath the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. All of the details of the new plan were carefully worked out at its inception and have not been changed in any important degree since that time.

One of the most important components of the Tribulation was the necessity that all those who appeared unlikely to have reached the required level by the end of the rebirth arrangement were to be given the chance to make the right choice during the period in question. At the inception of the plan for the Tribulation, it was not known and could not be foreseen exactly how many souls this necessity would apply to. But as the millennia passed and the time draws near, it became clear that a number in excess of four billion souls would require this last desperate chance to succeed where before they had failed.

Prior to the passage of the Earth through the cloud in space, a sign will appear in the sky, to indicate to those who have realized the truth, that the last days have come. This is the sign of the Son of Man spoken of in the Scriptures. Many sources speak of a comet whose tail is divided into several spikes or fingers extending in different directions. For the space of three days and three nights, those fingers seen from the direction of the Earth will exactly form the Greek letters Chi and Rho, which together form one of the signs of the Son of Man, as they are the first two letters in the Greek name for Christ.

Those who fail to understand and heed the meaning of the signs in the heavens will not be able to escape the final, dreadful weeks and months of the Tribulation by a subsequent change of heart. Up to the time of the appearance of this comet, however, all of those who earnestly and with the whole heart change their old sinful ways and take up the cross of service and dedication to their fellow man will become entitled to what the Scriptures call the Rapture.

The Rapture is essentially an escape from the horrors of the Tribulation, to a place of safety where those who have assembled there can work and learn in order to prepare themselves for the great task of reconstruction which will begin literally minutes after the Day of Wrath has terminated.

This theme is repeated by the Master Efi of Mars:

Now for this day are they being prepared, when each and every one shall be put into another place, that which is prepared for them. Some shall be freed from all darkness; these shall be free to go and come throughout the Galaxy, and they shall know no barrier. Others shall be put into a place wherein they shall till the soil with their bare hands; they shall have no implements, they shall have no tools, no machines. They shall have no memory of their past, of their science or of their fortune of the past. Such shall be the destiny of them which betray themselves.

Those who fail the Judgment must return again to a lower level of evolution. This is not a punishment, it is simply an objective reflection of the fact that these souls remain ego-centered, immersed in their own dense worlds of self-interest and self-gratification, and thus they will not be able to function at the higher vibration rates of more advanced worlds. Nor should they be considered as "lost" souls, for although they must begin again at a lower level they continue to follow the Creator's path of evolution and learning. Whatever the choice individuals are able to make, their destiny remains as a continuing evolutionary path towards perfection and unity.

Whatever form the healing of the human world takes during these next few years, know that it is for the good of all. Do not be concerned with the fate of those who reject my Spirit. Their story is far from over. I am caring for each one in the manner of his or her greatest need. The human world is in good hands. When you and much of Earth's present biological life have been sprinkled throughout the stars, and the oceans have changed places with the land, after the poles have shifted and new mountains have come to look over the plains, then will these slow-learners be recalled from the mineral realms where they shall slumber, to learn of intelligence again, and to come again to choose between love and fear.

The CHRIST, channeled by Ken Carey in Vision - Harper San Francisco

The time of Tribulation is a Parting of the Ways. Those who choose to do so can familiarize themselves with the circumstances and the issues involved, with a view to making a personal assessment of their conduct and such modifications as are necessary to facilitate a lightening and a widening of their consciousness. This is easily said, but it demands self-sacrifice and self-discipline. And at this significant time in particular the temptations of self-centeredness are magnified.

It is inevitable, at such a critical time in the Earth's evolution, that the Forces of Darkness should be present just as much as the Forces of Light. The Forces of Darkness would like nothing better at this time than to subvert the path of the Aquarian cycle, for this cycle is destined to be the greatest cycle in Humanity's evolutionary path.

For every side or opinion that is present there will be another side or opinion to oppose it. This therefore requires that you exercise the great gift of discrimination. It is how you choose, and your motivation for choosing, that in essence represents the sorting of the wheat from the chaff. There will be many who will follow the path of evil, but remember that you can walk to the gates of Hell and still turn back. You follow a path only for as long as you wish to. There will be much suffering in the World but no more than Humanity can bear and understand. Many will not be touched by the plagues that are predicted to come.

Clearly one of the "plagues" testing humanity at this time is Aids. It is almost unique in that with few and rare exceptions it can either be contracted or avoided by conscious action.

Aids is the first of the seven plagues from which Humanity will suffer. Now you must understand that the purpose of disease is not to punish: it is to bring about transformation. Disease is a great tool of evolution and all disease should be seen in this way. Aids, of course, is a disease which is usually transmitted sexually. The greatest disease of the Human Race today is its abuse of sexuality. With Aids, therefore, you have a disease which demands sexual responsibility. Aids can be likened to a genetic time bomb, because ultimately only the pure in body, mind and spirit will survive it.

The sexual act should not be regarded as an act of self-centered pleasure, but rather as an act of Cosmic creation. If you live a life of sexual purity you will not be touched by Aids. If you are pure in body, mind and spirit you will not be touched by much of what is to walk the face of this Earth. This is indeed the beginning of the sorting of the wheat from the chaff. It would be true to say that in the New Age it will only be the pure of spirit, the pure of mind and the pure of body that will inherit the Earth.

The Master ZEN TAO, channeled by the Ramala Centre, Glastonbury in The Wisdom of Ramala - The C.W. Daniel Co. Ltd., Saffron Walden, Essex - 1986

It often seems at this present time that discipline in personal conduct is frowned upon. Yet it is perhaps now as never before that we should once again be guided by, and make every attempt to follow the traditional, old-fashioned ideals of right conduct.

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be so overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day come upon you unawares. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole Earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21: 34-36

While "surfeiting and drunkenness" are clearly to be avoided by those genuinely seeking to follow higher principles of conduct, there are more subtle ways in which we should seek self-improvement. In our "civilized" world, aggression has become more subtle; but it remains aggression nonetheless.

Survival into the Third Millennium is reserved for the spiritually fit. The key to survival is not competition, but cooperation. Spiritual fitness is not aggression, it is fitting in with the purposes of the Earth and with the purposes of her Creator as these larger purposes blend in human exchange.

The CHRIST, channeled by Ken Carey in Vision - Harper San Francisco

At this important time of self-examination the Ascended Master Saint Germain, a member of Earth's Hierarchy, recommends the practice of meditation, through which one can develop a mental calm and an openness to communication from one's Higher Self.

I would like to suggest that meditation is very important for you at this time. Meditation is how you will gain mastery, the self-mastery and the focus that is required to go into your next phase. Meditation is how you will create the space between your limited ego-self and your deeper expression. You will put a little bit of distance between you and the ego so that your reactions will not be so automatic with regard to responding to negativity. All of you are experiencing much of the density of the Earth in your daily life. But, if you can meditate you will not feel the effect of it in the same way. You will have more of an overview, so that when those emanations or impressions come to you, you can choose consciously and wisely in each moment how to respond.

The Master ST. GERMAIN, channeled by Eric Klein in The Inner Door, Vol.2 - Oughten House Publications, Livermore, California, USA - 1993

The Master Saint Germain also stresses the importance of forgiveness. The significance of forgiveness is that in forgiving an insult or an act of aggression the momentum of the act is thereby nullified; when we fail to forgive we perpetuate the act through a continuing stream vengeance, so its evil effects are "passed on", propagated and nurtured. Through forgiveness the totality of evil in the world can be progressively diminished.

And you can avoid the creation of any more negativity. You can "let the buck stop" where it is, instead of passing it on as so many have done for so long in this world.

When someone expresses anger towards you, the tendency of the ego is to respond in the same way. And if your ego is not responding in the same way to that person, perhaps it will await a perfect opportunity to respond that way to another, in an attempt to clear itself of these impressions. This is why the negativity on the Earth has become so dense. Humanity has continued to pass it around, to propagate it, so to speak. And the goal of mastery is, of course, to master this. Master your own creations and emanations so that what comes through you is love, so that what comes through you is that divine presence that you are. And that clarity which gives you wisdom to deal with situations, to defuse the reactionary elements of human life.

The Master ST. GERMAIN, channeled by Eric Klein in The Inner Door, Vol.2 - Oughten House Publications, Livermore, California, USA - 1993

An underlying theme pervading the warnings of the Judgment and the accompanying messages of counsel stresses the need to seek a return to balance and harmony in our lives, in our relationships with others, with animals, plants and nature as a whole. We must also develop a sense of balance and harmony in the relationships between our "two" selves, our Earthly Self and our Higher Self, so that we in our Earthly incarnations are living in a manner which causes no conflict with the ideal as seen by our Higher Selves and Guides. Only in this way can we survive the tribulations which will shortly be upon us.

If you yourself are living in balance and harmony you can survive any physical challenge. Though you work in a room full of diseased people, you will not be touched by any disease. Though you are shot at by many guns, you will not be hit. Though you are thrown into the sea when a ship sinks and many drown, you will be saved. For those who live in peace, that is obeying God's Natural Order, there is total protection. Those who follow God's Natural Order will find their own lives in order. For those who trust in their Creator, there can be no fear.

RAMALA, channeled by the Ramala Centre in The Vision of Ramala - The C.W. Daniel Co. Ltd., Saffron Walden, Essex - 1991

You see, dear one, if you are not in fear of what is to come, and know that you live in a perfectly safe universe, it is merely to live constantly in the moment of joy. To know that you will, of course, be safe, that you will survive. It is your reality. You create it. If you are living in an area, for instance, which may be subject to a very sudden Earth change, and you are living in joy, and not in fear, then on that day, beloved, you will be away visiting your mother. You see, it is you who create the reality.

Many of those who are unfamiliar with predictions of Earth Changes will nonetheless have been aware for some time of "flying saucer" activity around Earth. This activity has three different aspects. One is an on-going program of monitoring and action where necessary to preserve peace and stability within the solar system. The second relates to the particular dangers associated with nuclear experiments undertaken on Earth. The third relates to the coming Earth Changes.

The fundamental existence of duality manifested as Light and Darkness requires constant vigilance if peace and stability are to be preserved. The Forces of Light are represented locally by the Interplanetary Federation of our solar system. Its Council convenes on Saturn with direct representatives from all the planets except Earth. Until Earth can join the Federation with its own Representative, Monka of the Ashtar Space Command has been appointed on our behalf to represent us. Above the Interplanetary Federation of our solar system and representing our whole Galaxy, is the Intergalactic Federation of Free Worlds, which not only includes Members from our own galaxy but also from many other galaxies and universes. The function of both organizations is to regulate affairs between planets and solar systems and to generally uphold Universal Law.

Serving and answerable to both the Interplanetary and the Intergalactic Federations, a protective Force of Interplanetary Space Craft is stationed within our solar system with the responsibility of protecting us from any outside Forces of Darkness and also to giving us evacuation assistance when the planetary changes occur. This Interplanetary Force is known as the Ashtar Space Command, named after its Commander Ashtar who is a High Being of Venus and his home planet Ashtar, and is also a member of many Intergalactic Councils.

The Ashtar Command is based on one of the largest "City" mother-ships, over one hundred miles in diameter and which remains in a fairly static orbit above Earth, totally invisible at the Etheric level to us on the physical level. Commander Ashtar gives this "overview" of the Command and its work.

There are millions of craft operating in this solar system at all times and many, many of these belong to the Ashtar Command. Some are stationed far above your planet and are more or less stationary for long periods of time, keeping track of the Earth on their monitoring systems. Others move about, discharging their various duties. We have small craft doing surveying activities and we have larger craft with extended range that are capable of operating in space and which visit planets in other solar systems.

We also have what you know as "mother ships" or "mother craft", with many smaller craft coming and going from the mother ship. There is a great deal of activity in what Earthlings think of as empty space.

Our purpose is service, and we go where we are needed anywhere in this sector. Our Headquarters is on one of the largest of the mother craft, and orders and instructions come from this craft. It is a city in itself. Most of our people are natives of one or another of the planets in this solar system, but also we do have those working with us from other solar systems. Our workers do visit their home planets at various times on what you might call vacations. Most of us have worked together for a very long time; we are a well-knit Confederation and feel that we are an effective one.

Commander ASHTAR, channeled by Gladys Rodehaver and quoted in "Ashtar: A Tribute" -compiled by Tuella, Guardian Action Publications - 1985. Republished 1995 by Inner Light Publications, New Brunswick NJ, USA.

It is also important to be aware however, that not all "space ships" making contact with Earth represent the Forces of Light. Commander Korton, also of the Ashtar Command, explains:

There are those who do come, who are not from this allegiance and who have no part in it. They come as observers and for their own ends. They are often highly scientific geniuses, and their material to their contacts can be highly impressive - indeed, almost always is. But they have come for the purpose of collecting data for their personal ends and not to give of themselves for the good of the planet. These are not of what you would call the "Dark Forces", which is another allegiance.

Now the so-called "Dark Forces" (a balancing agent in the Cosmos) are those of our own Galaxy who are openly opposed to the Brotherhood of Light, its principles and standards and goals for mankind and the planet Earth. They would seize the planet if that were possible, to control it for their own purposes, which would destroy the freedom of Man. Commander Ashtar has been one of the most staunch defenders of the freedom of man and his inherent right to choose, to decide to fashion his own embodiment, without outside pressures put upon him.

The bands of renegades that patrol the terrestrial realms are immediately dispatched to their proper level when overtaken in trespassing activities. The fleets of the Heavenly Commands are prompt to transport such intruders in masterly fashion. However, it is on your octave that the enemy must be met and dealt with from a physical vehicle.

Commander KORTON, channeled by Tuella, in Ashtar: A Tribute - Guardian Action Publications - 1985. Republished 1995 by Inner Light Publications, New Brunswick NJ, USA.

As a further and important example of its work, the Interplanetary Federation has, since the end of World War II, been greatly concerned for the welfare of Earth, and the Ashtar Command has been active in our protection, not on this occasion from an outside, but from an inside threat.

The development of Earth's experimentation and use of nuclear energy after World War II caused grave concern at interplanetary level; the nuclear threat to Earth and the surrounding solar system thus created was a major reason why our planet began to experience so many UFO visitations during the early 1950s. The inhabitants of other planetary systems were greatly concerned at this new and dangerous development on Planet Earth and came into our orbit to monitor and protect us, as well as themselves, from our own destruction.

They were called upon to counteract the numerous experimental atomic and hydrogen explosions both underground and in the atmosphere with special devices to restore orbital stability to our planetary orbit. Even so, as a result of experimental atomic explosions, Earth experienced some deviations from her axis and has been in grave danger of prematurely tilting her axis completely.

In the days when men were testing all their nuclear devices in the atmosphere and oceans, underground and on the surface, throwing caution to the wild winds, throwing Nature into chaos, very few who walk the Earth-plane at this hour, and at this moment, would have lived to read this message, had the Brotherhood not acted without fear or hesitation, with no recognition for the work that was accomplished. Know that billions of your atoms which were thrown into violent discord in the atmosphere around each of the points of great repulsion, caused an activated build-up of great danger to your peoples, to your animal and plant life.

From strategic places many small controlled devices (in the form of small remote-controlled discs and spheres) were dispatched upon their mission to the swirling clouds of discord billowing outwards as the atoms fought and jostled, each repelling the other in the great release of power uncontrolled by man, whose folly exceeded expectations.

These small controlled devices (small implosion discs) drew unto themselves the atoms now discordant to your system and to the harmony of Nature; drew them inward, as a magnet from the atmosphere around them, to the point of saturation, whence they were withdrawn and treated, then to be decontaminated.

Space Commander ALIZANTIL, channeled by Frank Howard in Journey in Space with Alizantil -The Association of Sananda & Sanat Kumara, Sedona, Arizona, USA - 1972 & 1981

While the spacecraft activity taking place during the period of heightened nuclear experimentation could be seen as a response to an unexpected emergency, spacecraft have also been scheduled for over twelve thousand years to come within our orbit in large numbers at the end of this century to assist and participate in the major changes due to Planet Earth. Several members of the Ashtar Space Command have commented through channeling by Tuella; among these is Commander Anton of the Silver Fleet within the Ashtar Command:

In these closing days there is much preparation to be made on spiritual levels. A great manifestation of devotion will sweep across the Planet Earth as souls become aware of the actual possibilities that hover in the near future. You have read of a collision of comets. It could be more involved than that. For it is true, there is another solar system which at present is on a straight course for your own position in space. There is the possibility of a disturbance from the force-field of another solar system coming closer each year.

It will not need to actually enter your atmosphere to bring reactions within the electromagnetic field of planet Earth. It can be a great distance away, yet nevertheless make its effects penetrable enough to cause much havoc to Earth's situation. This fact is another cause for extreme planning on our part for perfect coordination in all evacuation procedures. We are now organized to the extent that total evacuation could be completed within fifteen minutes of Earth time!

The approach of another body or system within your magnetic field would be known to us long before your scientific community would be aware of it. We have universal satellites with fact-gathering devices upon them that make those of Earth appear as toys. We are prepared for this occurrence completely, along with all other possibilities. Fear is inadvisable and unnecessary; for those who have lived in love and served the Light upon the planet will not remain to witness any catastrophe!

Commander ANTON of the Ashtar Command, channeled by Tuella in Project: World Evacuation - Guardian Action Publications - 1982. Republished 1994 by Inner Light Publications, New Brunswick NJ, USA.

The need for a change in personal attitude from ego-centeredness to unity has already been stressed; this would ensure that the Soul is able to move up to and survive on the Earth's new, higher vibration level. This change in attitude is also necessary to facilitate the process of lifting during evacuation.

The Great Evacuation will come upon the world very suddenly. The flash of emergency events will be as the lightening that flashes in the sky. So sudden and so quick in its happening that it is over almost before you are aware of its presence. And so it will be when the events that warrant this action have come to the planet. It is not possible to totally describe these events, but it is possible to instill at this time into the hearts of Humanity the hope and the knowledge of our vigilance and emergency actions on their behalf.

Our rescue ships will be able to come in close enough in the twinkling of an eye to set the lifting beams in operation in a moment. And all over the globe where events warrant it, this will be the method of evacuation. Mankind will be lifted, levitated shall we say, by the beams from our smaller ships. (Due to the planetary turbulence at the time, there will be only limited landings -Tuella). These smaller craft will in turn taxi the persons to the larger ships overhead, higher in the atmosphere, where there is ample space and quarters and supplies for millions of people.

It has been explained to you in the past that there is a certain amount of preparedness necessary because of exposure to this powerful beam which will be operating in these circumstances. The frequency of it will be higher than most of your known electrical Earthly exposures.

Those of extreme density and extreme selfish dispositions, especially at the expense of others or causing suffering to others, will find extreme physical difficulty in surviving in the frequency of our beams.

This is why our messages have been broadcast to mankind over the centuries to lift his own emanations and vibrations to a status of love and selflessness so that in so doing, a compatibility of forcefields will make his rescue possible.

Those who have lived closely aligned to the Father's Will in their lives and have let the love of the Father flow through them, will have no problem with the frequency of the evacuation rays. For a high state of love in the human heart reacts upon the human forcefield surrounding the physical form, giving it an electrical sheath of protection and a blending with the incoming vibrations between now and that time. Indeed, if enough souls could experience perfect love, there could very well be no need for a removal of Humanity.

There is nothing to be feared in coming into our midst. We are loving, normal persons, as yourselves, with the attitude of good neighbors and helpers in a time of crisis. We are prepared with clothing, and your foods, and the needs to which you have accustomed yourselves. We will not be guards, but friends, and you will enjoy your time with us, especially as you look upon your planet in its turmoil.

There will be a period of time to be spent with us, for your beautiful Earth must be healed in its cleansing, and given time to return to its true glory. Then those who have been lifted in the body will be returned to reconstruct a New World and a New Order of things. As you tarry with us, you will be given the opportunity to attend classes and training for the work which will need to be done. You will be given our constant help in doing this; our advice and our technology will be at the disposal of these returning ones. Many others who have been lifted through natural transition will be returned in new bodies to participate in the new awakening.

Those who could not participate in the lifting-off rescue will be transported, following their natural transition, to locations with a vibration and frequency equal to their own, where they may grow and learn at a pace slower than the new vibration of planet Earth. For the Earth will be in an accelerated and very high frequency as it finds expression in the Aquarian Age.

ANDROMEDA REX of the Ashtar Command, channeled by Tuella in Project: World Evacuation - Guardian Action Publications - 1982. Republished 1994 by Inner Light Publications, New Brunswick NJ, USA.

Commander Aleva of the Spaceship Rrmada, part of the Ashtar Space Command, adds further detail.

All of you have been coded. We have monitored many of you so that we would be familiar with your patterns and life styles to be of help where possible. We are sending our love to you for we understand and know what you are going through in all of these crises. Most of the coded Light Servers have already been temporarily brought aboard our ships in the sleep state. When you finally arrive through our beams, you will be awakened to this knowledge that you possess and then you will not feel so strange in these new surroundings.

There will be changes in your lives as you all have missions and according to these missions your training will continue so that you can carry them out with a minimum of adjustment. There are even facilities for your special pets. Yes, we care for pets just as you do. They are helping us to harmonize with all life forms and as you have discovered, I am sure, that harmonizing with nature is such a pleasure and to attune to other life forms is so rewarding.

There are many of us from distant planets that have volunteered for this service, and I am sure you might be curious to know where we are all from. We volunteered to help those of you on the Earth plane in your time of crisis. We have studied to be able to communicate with you, studied your Earth life and hope to be of some help. Many of us have come from far distant galaxies. As the word went out for volunteers, you would be astonished at the response. There were very few who, for reasons of family commitments and such, did not respond. Mostly all were anxious to be of service.

You will not need any garments other than what we provide. We will probably not be able to give you much warning when the time comes for beaming. As you know, love is the Key in the beam and everywhere else, so keep it flowing.

Commander ALEVA, channeled by Shalie, May 1988, Cosmic Light Foundation, Snohomish, WA, USA

A different, though complementary viewpoint is given by the Master Hatonn, Keeper of the Akashic Records for our galaxy and also a member of the Ashtar Command:

Each one of your names is written down on the records held in our great data banks. Your sectors are carefully assigned to certain fleets and Commanders who oversee the needs of your sector. We know you are there and exactly where you are. Each one of you will without fail receive definite instructions at the crisis moment so that you will know where to be at a given time. No one will be missed or overlooked, and your participation is sure. Units of families, separated in the great exodus, will be brought together again on our ships as soon as events make this possible. Do not harbor fear of any kind, but think only in an attitude of thankfulness to our Father.

There will be some you know and whom you love who will be remaining behind for reasons built into their own being. You must release them into the hands of the Father, who will receive their spiritual being into His House where there are many mansions. They will be escorted to a place their inner thoughts and life patterns have created for them, to begin again their upward spiral. You must accept that their personal choices have created their personal destiny.

There will be a natural missing of accustomed environment, but a brief time with us will bring a forgetfulness, as you settle into the new routines and surrounding atmosphere. Our ships are beautiful places to be, and the atmosphere within them is joy and love and concern for one another. There will be those of your own people, already trained to assist you in your adjustment to your new environment. We will have trained these beforehand for the work they are to do.

You will recognize and know these leaders as special representatives of our mission, even before the crisis has come. Follow them and heed their instructions, that all may go smoothly for you at the time of great confusion.

I am Hatonn, and I shall personally greet all of you when you are lifted into our midst to remain with us for a little while. When your planet has been healed, you will be returned to it and all of your needs for reconstruction will be given. Higher Intelligences shall walk with you to assist you in a speedy reclaiming of the Earth in Universal Love. I am grateful for your consideration of my words.

The Master HATONN, channeled by Tuella in Project: World Evacuation by the Ashtar Command -Guardian Action Publications - 1982. Republished 1994 by Inner Light Publications, New Brunswick NJ, USA.

Welcome aboard! These will be the words, and this the spirit, which will greet those who have been "beamed up" as the great upheavals begin.

The first task of our Space Brothers will be to repair the mental and physical damage, to soothe and comfort those who are in shock, to reassure, and as a matter of practicality, to bring together those who have been separated.

Next comes the gentle process of healing, and of gradually raising our vibration rates. Indeed these two processes work together, for as our vibratory rates are raised, so any injuries or imperfections in our bodies will heal themselves, though in a few cases specific treatments may be necessary. This means that all our old disabilities, the damaged foot from childhood, the results of an internal operation, the scars of an accident, the internal wounds of some past sorrow... all these will be healed, returning our bodies to their truly "natural" state, their "higher" pattern as it exists on the etheric level.

Those beamed up in physical form will be accelerated and quickened within that physical form to a more spiritual essence within the body, into what has been termed Light Bodies. The physical form will remain the same in appearance to most, but that higher blending of the etheric with the physical will bring about change, and eliminate sickness and physical disharmony among you.

ANDROMEDA REX of the Ashtar Command, channeled by Tuella in Project: World Evacuation - Guardian Action Publications - 1982. Republished 1994 by Inner Light Publications, New Brunswick NJ, USA.

Our "collective being" must also be healed, and there will be time to review the Akashic Records of our planetary history, much as individuals review their own history following "death". We will have the opportunity to see the entire span of human evolution on Earth, learning in the process from our successes and our failures. We will see the wars and devastation, the slavery, the inhuman treatment of man by fellow man, the mass slaughter of animals. And we will be able to review the true damage done to our planet's environment as we comprehend the full extent of human pollution and the havoc wrought by nuclear explosions, and as we see for the first time the dense black cloud of negative thought surrounding our world.

But we will also see the caring, the charity, the ideals of reform, the service, the good we have done to one another. And we will see the art, hear the music, watch the great theatrical dramas, "tour" the gardens of great houses and castles, follow intrepid explorers into uncharted territory as they withstand extremes of climate and face great dangers in order to push forward the frontiers of human knowledge. And we will watch the brainstorming of scientists as they explore the sky and stars, the phenomena of time and gravity, as they discover and learn to harness the power of electricity, as they develop methods of capturing music then broadcasting it on the airwaves or encapsulating it on magical silver discs, or as they invent and perfect tiny chips with memories and calculating power far beyond our present human capacity. We will be watching on the viewing screens, in 3-dimensional virtual reality, the entire history of our planet: This is Your Life spanning over thirty million years!

There will be time, too, set aside for individual personal development, for learning new artistic and intellectual skills, for studying ourselves so that we may know ourselves better.

Nor will we be denied enjoyment! We will share relaxation and games, drama and music with one another and with our space friends; there will be parks in which to walk, relax and meditate. There will be no shortage of pleasurable activity.

We have recreation areas, great lecture halls and we have school-type rooms where you will receive instruction in this new environment and new life style so that you will feel right at home in a very short time. We have entertainment and we have tried to gather foods that would please you.

Commander ALEVA, channeled by Shalie, May 1988, Cosmic Light Foundation, Snohomish, WA, USA

There must also be orientation of course, conducted tours around the Mother Ship which is to be "home" for the dozen or so years while Earth is cleansed and replanted.

When we think of "spaceships" we may perhaps visualize their size as corresponding to one of our largest aircraft; those with a more adventurous imagination might visualize the size and facilities of an ocean-going liner or cruise ship. The reality, when we come to confront it, will require a major effort of comprehension!

Tuella gives her own personal description of one of the largest Mother Ships in the Intergalactic Fleet, the Shan Chea, Headquarters of the Ashtar Command, which even now stands ready to receive its Earth guests.

Make no mistake about it, the Inns of Heaven are ready, awaiting their guests. Nothing is crowded in these self contained, phenomenally organized, incredibly spacious floating Etheric worlds. Seven of these great Pearly White Space Cities are said to be in readiness, which vary in size from ten miles in diameter to the largest of all, which houses the Headquarters of Lord Jesus Sananda, Lord Ashtar and the Ashtar Command. It is said to be over one hundred miles in diameter.

The Great Space Cities have twelve levels (in most cases) and it has occurred to me that you would enjoy a tour to inspect the largest, the Headquarters of The Ashtar Command. Approaching, we first see underneath level One, which is the great entry and exit portal for trafficking craft. It consists of disembarking platforms, parking docks, garages for incoming visiting craft, maintenance departments, and storage areas for the thousands of small scout ships cleverly stacked one over the other.

The Second level might be termed a colossal stockroom. This is the Quartermaster Deck, containing all manner of supplies and inventories for the varied needs of all levels. It is like a city of warehouses, but immaculately clean of course.

The Third level is as a vast zoo. It is the level set aside for animal husbandry research, and birdland. Every manner of creature from many worlds has a habitat here. It is rather a noisy level, but the air there is nevertheless pure and pleasant.

Above it, level Four is designated for Agricultural research. It is like a vast farmland of well kept vegetable and botanical gardens, fruit orchards and sample specimens brought on board from various worlds for reseeding on new worlds, and activity of that nature.

The Fifth level is a housing center for all those technicians and persons who serve on the four levels beneath.

Directly a
