last minute pardon. No little tricks of the courtroom. No clever little ploys that thwart justice in the eleventh hour. No. This is God's Reckoning in motion. The "door" will be held open until the very last nano second of possibility.

Today is Thursday, May 22, 1997. It's 0330 hours.

Good morning, Alan.

I read your e-mail with interest. You are, of course, perfectly correct in adopting a "wait and see" attitude towards us. Under similar conditions I too would adopt a similar MO. You should have more than enough "proof" by the end of this year, perhaps sooner.

You know, of course, that the name "Ashtar" has been taken by several entities with the intent of defaming its original user. So too with the name Ha-Ton.

Knowledge, true and proven information concerning the ways of the Omniverse, is the key to survival and evolution. All LIFE is in the process of movement, up or down the ladder of awareness. Evolution versus Involution. A most carefully implemented plan has prevented Mankind from learning of himself, his heritage and his future. How can one be held in slavery if the Truth is known? How can one be kept from direct access with the Creator Force unless brainwashed into thinking that an intermediary, a "priesthood" is necessary? (Or, as some denominations within 'Church-ianity' teach, one must go through a pope, a priest, a bishop, an apostle, etc., to get to Jesus... however Jesus tells us that He wants to be so close to us that He offers His Spirit of Life, known as the "water of Life", for the asking... and that this essence of pure LIFE can be given to us through the Divine LIFE-BLOOD-TRANSFUSION which the Word of God tells us is God's primary will for His creation, that we are like "cells" in the body of Christ who are able to freely 'drink' from the fountain of the Water of Life. - Branton)

One of the best methods of clouding the truth is to tell many versions of the "truth." Each version sounds plausible. Each version incorporates some aspect of reality in order that it seem "true" to one of limited intellect and expressed awareness. Cloud the Truth and each man finds a different "truth" to believe in. Ashtar, the Ashtar that serves directly under the command of The Christ, is someone you must apparently find for yourself. Remember, challenge ANYONE who approaches you from a "higher plane" to declare himself, itself, whatever, in the Light of the Christ. True representatives of the Higher Good will not object in the least to such a challenge and will respond with their loyalty, their sworn fealty to The Christ Force. Anyone not of the Light of the Christ, but still of the light will hedge, or try to take the discussion somewhere else. You are, indeed, a sovereign being created in the image of God. That's no small thing in and of itself. You have certain prerogatives, one of which is complete freedom and autonomy, if you so declare it. Remember too that it's a do-it-yourself Omniverse. You must take action and declare for one path or the other. No more fence sitting for anyone. Ask for the help you want in a mainline thought transmission to The Christ, Jesus or Sananda or any other name you wish to give it. You will receive a response. One clothed in different form than this one.

Your concept of cloning is most accurate. It is well within the capability of the darker side to create a form, be it physical or astral, and to insert a specific intelligence into that form. For awhile, none save an adept can tell the difference here. The adept, the awakened one, will see the aura for what it is, see through the deception and will not be fooled. One without sight will see what is intended, the form and personality of the one who pretends. The obvious drawback is that the created form is not connected to a higher source and will quickly weaken and die unless regular infusions of soul-force energy is made available to it. Seen from here the form will sicken and die, rapidly becoming weak, assuming a gray tint to the skin, and losing physical coordination. But the answer is yes, they can do what you suggest.

You have within yourself, as do all of the human race, the ability to see through deception. Everyone must see for themselves. That's why there is no interference when something like the Heaven's Gate cult killing themselves occurs. Each one of those people chose for themselves to be where they were and do what they did. Until "rescued," and of this writing they have not been, they still wait for the UFO to come and pick them up. They still...

... a man is without knowledge, without awareness. He cannot even feed himself. A rich and evolved stranger comes along and seeing the poverty and hunger which the first man lives in, gives him food and shelter, protects him from the cold and wild animals. The man is grateful and follows the suggestions of his good Samaritan faithfully. One day the stranger must leave. He says good by to the first man, leaves him with a certain amount of supplies, and leaves. For awhile the first man is all right. Plenty to eat, the power modules work, nothing really changes. Then it all runs down. Everything stops. The man is no better off than when the stranger first found him.

Take our unaware man a second time. He suffers greatly and seeks to alieve his suffering. After months, years, maybe centuries, the man's great, great, great, great grandchildren achieve a sort of comfort, ease and sufficiency. They have profited. They have grown. They have evolved in Spirit as well as physical form and capability.

Then another race of physically advanced men attacks. The descendants of the first man look to themselves for their own salvation, for that is all they know. They fight. They lose, they win, the war is terrible for all. Finally, they triumph. The war ends.

Or, finally the invader throws in something that the descendants cannot possibly overcome with their limited technology. They begin to be decimated, the invader is winning because of the new technology. Suddenly the stranger, who has been secretly watching all these years, intervenes and takes out the invader's capability to destroy with new technology. Rallying, the descendants mount a tremendous counter-attack and defeat the invader.

Not very subtle, perhaps, but you get the point. Man, earth man, must unite as a race. Ethnic diversity is a death knell for the human race. All the little ethnic splinters only serves the purpose of the dark side. It does nothing to unite mankind. Since man will unite of his own accord, perhaps it has been decreed that something will happen so terrible, so awesome, that humans will not have time to worry about color and religion. They'll HAVE to help each other or die. The destruction of four fifths of the human race is within the planetary karmic scheme. There will be no all out nuclear war, for that would decimate the planet. A limited war is possible. Plague is possible. Wholesale death is possible, and will be permitted to occur if that's where the collective actions of mankind takes the human race. Alan, even the negative actions of the dark side of reality are part of the Divine Plan.

How does one temper metal? You put it in the fire, heat it to red hot and beat the living shit out of it. Cool it off, then do it again, and again until you have the metal just where you want it. The tempering of man is underway even as we speak.

I shouldn't tell you this, but it isn't really any sort of secret. We have many advanced beings now incarnated upon this planet. They came into physical form according to the laws for such birth, found their way through the darkness and regained their Mantle of Light. They have every RIGHT, according to the Laws of the Creator, to do what they see as being correct in defending their planet against the dark force now arrayed against it. Many of the plans of the dark force have not come to fruition for one simple reason. We didn't let them take root and blossom into truly evil flowers. The NWO was supposed to have everything all sewed up and the tyranny in place by the mid 1990's. Why hasn't that already taken place? Only one reason.

They'll still take their shot, and for a little while they will hold the reigns of control in their hot little paws, or claws if you wish. Then it will be over. THIS time they get the ax. Noie in their little bunks, frozen into the seconds of time in which they died, still hoping and waiting for their "salvation" to come flying out of the tail of the comet and take them to the "heaven" plane of existence. They trapped themselves and there they MUST stay until they realize what has transpired and move of their own accord. Free will and free choice is much more important than people give it credit for. What you choose, you get. Simple, yet so very complicated. This is one of the central reasons for the non-intervention policy followed by the more evolved races of the Omniverse.

Then it slams and whatever is left outside ends up on the edge of creation, the "Pit" of Biblical fame. This is in motion. This is already ordained and sanctioned. This is God's Divine Plan in 20 words or less.

You shall go where your thought line projects. Your path, your life. What you fear, you attract. You draw it to you like a spider reels in it's web. There is a major clue here, please heed it my friend.

The only armor, the only protection during all that is in motion, is the White Light of the Christ. That's all there is. This is a great truth. Tell it to any and all. Only by surrounding yourself with the White Light of the Christ will you be "safe" during the last days. How you do that is up to you, to any and all. Seek and ye shall find. YOU have to do it. I can't do it for you, nor can anyone else. You must.

As well you know, the sides are drawn. And again, there are no "fence sitters" left. Everyone now in physical form upon and within this planet has decided which way he, she or it is going. One's actions and statements will quickly reveal which Path they've opted for, Light or darkness. Part of that selection process, in those aware enough to make a conscious selection, is weighing what is seen, heard or intuited on their inner scale and making the correct choice. Notice "correct" rather than right or wrong. Even an incorrect selection, if it leads to a learning experience wherein the one so selecting grows, is not wrong.

It would seem that you, my brother, are working through a karma which opens the pathways into either Light or darkness. As have I, other lives have been spent in service to less than the Highest of Light. You now are presented with a much more difficult life than ever before. You are placed in a position where you must choose and choose wisely, ultimately selecting which path, all of which are "right," is the more correct for you.

Your natural suspicion is one of your "safeguards." Just don't let it stand in the way of decisions you MUST MAKE WITHIN THE YEAR. Time is all but gone, collapsed upon itself, hastened by underground and underwater nuclear explosions. One of the central reasons for this dialog is to act as catalyst for what you must do; things which only you can do. All of your knowledge is point useless unless you now make the quantum jump into the next level of conscious and expressed awareness. The visualizations you now have will assist in this process if used in a conscientious manner. The choice, as it's always been, is entirely yours.

Very shortly now my own life will take a dramatic jump into greater service. The details are not given just now, for neither of us can so guard our thoughts that no outside force can "read out minds." "Security - security - security" is how it was given to me. Something very "big" is in the process of working out within this dimension. The actions of the dark force, in particular the drac hegemony, are being moved against. There are dark masters even as there are Masters of Light. Sometimes they move against each other in a cosmic chess game of move and countermove. Such is going on here. The difference is that this planet is not going to exist within the third and fourth dimensions very much longer. That movement out of the lower dimensions is what the dark force seeks to prevent, any way they can.

This dialog is for you and your benefit. Your heartfelt prayers have not gone unheard, unseen or unfelt by The Christ. You parallel others I know who have walked similar paths of "growth by pain experience." You already have the answers you seek and the help you have requested. It's all around you. Whether you recognize it, take advantage of it, utilize your own inner strength and rip open the cocoon is entirely up to you.

If you do nothing else in this life; were you to be killed tomorrow, your already considerable efforts to spread the truth about what's really going on in the Omniverse will stand you in good stead. Good karma in reality.

But you won't be killed. Your suffering will not end. Your pain will not diminish. None of these things will occur until you make the jump in spiritual awareness you KNOW is the next step.

An interesting note in passing - the Nazi SS group from down-under apparently has a "Knight of the Black Order" in its hierarchy. The Knights are sworn to the Black Prince, the King of the Underworld. They take their initiation in human sacrifice and sworn allegiance to "Prince" Lucifer. Lucifer as a "Prince" indicates that there's something higher than he is. They say it is the dark counterpart to the God Force; the negative image of God.

This entire setup is parallel to Michael's Band of Electric Blue Fire Angels. These are the ones whom you came to ultimately thwart. They're adepts of black magic and nothing to trifle with or underestimate. They, like you, know full well what's coming. I thought you'd like to know. I would were I in your place. It is not a battle of guns, bombs or energy beam weapons that will ultimate face you.

Stay well and look into your heart. That's the only place you'll find your answers.
