WELCOME ON BOARD THE MOTHERSHIP THE ASHTAR COMMAND WANTS YOU! SHOULD THERE BE A GLOBAL DISASTER - SUCH AS A NUCLEAR WAR OR POLE SHIFT - THE "CHOSEN' WILL BE TAKEN TO A SAFE HARBOR IN SPACE At this very moment, thousands of friendly space beings, sometimes referred to as the Cosmic Brotherhood, or the Federation of Planets, are patrolling our atmosphere on a mission of salvation as they seek to expand the consciousness of humanity and to lessen global tensions. Led by the gallant Ashtar, it is believed by his followers that that these highly advanced beings could at a moment's notice remove from the planet a sizable portion of humanity identified as the "Chosen Ones" - those attuned with the cosmos and its universal laws - who would be taken to a safe port in a distant solar system. Although he is an Etherian, a nonphysical being, Ashtar and his comrades take on the appearance of royal-looking humans. So say those who have had face-to-face contact, including New York City contactee Marc Brinkerhoff, who describes Ashtar's appearance thusly: "His presence is trustful, commanding, confident and calming when I have met him during out-of-body visits to the teaching spaceships around the Earth, and on August 10, 2015 when I physically met him in person. Ashtar also has a sense of humor when I have seen him speaking at some of the Galactic meetings. "Ashtar projects himself as an Adamic High Etherian Universal space being and he resembles a form he had on Venus many thousands of Earth years ago. He is known in space in the same way that his Oversoul appears, or looks, on the Higher Dimensions. He has kind, intense, beautiful blue eyes with flecks of turquoise in them. Ashtar usually has golden blonde hair to dark golden blonde smooth to wavy hair that falls from 4 to 8 inches past his shoulders." Though Ashtar is Aryan-looking, his massive star fleet membership consists of a multitude of forms, shapes, sizes and colors, presenting themselves as a united, rainbow coalition of benign entities, many of whom take on physical form upon contacting their "Space Channelers" in every earthly land. The history of channeling is presented from the days of ancient Greece and the seer known as the Oracle of Delphi, to the works of "Oahspe" and a "Dweller On Two Planets," (which was responsible for bringing the actress Shirley MacLaine into the New Age fold). More recently, the first appearance of Ashtar upon the scene was in the late 1940s, when contact was established with an associate of billionaire Howard Hughes. The manager of an isolated airport in the Mojave Desert, George Van Tassel, witnessed the landing of a spaceship and shortly thereafter began going into a light trance, allowing Ashtar to take control of his vocal chords, after which Tassel began coming forth with messages that were to be presented to a wide audience. It was an audience who believed in the Space Brothers' cause and were willing to heed the warnings and spiritual advice disseminated through their representatives, which were soon to grow in number. This volume is more than unique. It presents a grand overview of Ashtar and his Commanders as well as messages from his special spokespersons, including Tuella, his primary representative. This work also includes transmissions from many of the individual planets in this solar system, the inhabitants of which operate on a "higher vibrational level," making them normally invisible to the human eye, except the most closely connected. There is also fabulous artwork by Carol Ann Rodriguez of a number of these enlightened souls, as well as overviews by Hercules Invictus, Tim Beckley and Sean Casteel.
