When God Pinched My Toe, Part 5: Meeting with Ashtar

“Greetings. I am Ashtar, Supreme Commander of the Starship Fleet of the Galactic Federation of Light. Welcome. I am glad to have Earthling Lightworkers to consult with us. Because we are used to living in the Fifth dimension and beyond, it is inconceivable that any beings would choose to ignore or refuse our invitation to ascend; however, preliminary results seem to suggest otherwise. It appears that we will have to present a pretty good argument if we are to get the attention of Earth beings and convince them this is real - not some kind of hoax or joke.

We are all optimistic, but I’m afraid our optimism has blinded us to the extent to which Earthlings, especially those in Western cultures, tend to resist change.

We have with us a few of the channels who have been working with us to spread the news. Thank you for coming. Meetings with others are ongoing as well. We thank you all for allowing us to send our message to more people every week.

Politically, we are working with some who have access to the President of the U.S. to try to get him to announce a no-aggression policy toward UFO’s (us!). We are hopeful about making contact soon through his aides or the First Lady, who is most open.

On the spiritual front, leaders of the religious communities of the planet are proving to be what is called a mixed bag. In general, it is difficult for them to make the leap from what they have been taught about this Earth time to the reality of it. There are many misconceptions which have generated a great deal of fear - first among them the assumption that Ascension means death for large numbers of people, and the strong beliefs that a process of judgment and punishment will decide who is to ascend and who is not. Although these are extremely unpleasant ideas, many seem to show a great attachment to them, along with the apparent glee they feel at the conviction, which we see as arrogant and ego-based, that they will be chosen, and others denied, simply because they declare a belief in Jesus as their “Savior,” regardless of their behavior or the absence of love in their hearts for their fellow humans and other precious creatures on the planet.

Now we would like to publicly take part in a dialogue with our “boots on the ground.”

We have invited two psychologists to help us understand how to proceed most effectively to “spread the word.” Both are on board with us, and have already begun disseminating some of our information. Also a staunch early advocate for Ascension understanding, David Wilcock, who has been doing an effective job of teaching information about the upcoming event. It is most convenient to have you here together.

We have other talented and helpful channels among our Lightworkers, but many of them have tended to work with people who come to them because of their professed belief in the Ascension process and understand the value of channeled information. They are therefore more used to experiencing a relatively open audience, and have been very good at expanding that audience.

Dr. May has recently been experimenting with introducing these ideas to people who, in many cases, are entirely new to them. The responses she has met with have brought our attention to the need to find a way to circumvent the resistance of those who are being approached initially. I will ask each of you to report on your experiences.

Let us begin with Mr. Wilcock, who has the longest history of working to present these ideas about Ascension and what it will mean to the planet.

What was your experience, especially in the beginning, when you began teaching that Ascension would be a positive event?

Wilcock: Mostly, people just thought I was crazy. It helped that I was compared to Edgar Casey early on. It gave people a context to feel more comfortable with channeling, and with some of the ideas he had begun to discuss. But still, mostly people wanted to argue with me to convince me that we were approaching an Apocalypse, not a transition. They wanted to believe in the end of the world disaster scenarios. Since my beliefs have become more well known, I see more people who accept my approach, but in almost every workshop there are people who ask the old question: “You mean the bad people will be allowed to ascend too? Isn’t there a different place for them where they will be punished? I have seen a clear picture of the positive elements - people in large groups moving together. Perhaps here with you I can fill in some of the details - the links between the scientific work I have been doing all along and the Ascension.

I still get some pretty passionate - well, insulting, responses from people. Often personal attacks - I try to just answer them in a general way, with a lot of scientific back-up. Sometimes that gets through. I’m here to learn more about that if possible.

Ashtar: Thank you, dear David, for your long years of work which have led you to this moment with us, and yes, further information will be available to you as it becomes possible for us to share in technological advances. You will be in a position to teach as you have already begun to do, although we would ask that you hold off on that just yet. Thank you.

Our dear Drunvalo Melchizedek will also be working with us on the organizational efforts with indigenous cultures, who are already preparing for the glorious moment. Our legions of dedicated workers is growing around the globe.

Now, Dr. Kathryn, as you call yourself, can you give us an idea of what you have experienced so far?

Kathryn: Yes, thank you for inviting me. I have been a bit surprised by the response from the majority of those I have read the channeled information to. Generally, when I begin, there is one of two responses: I either see the person’s eyes glitter with delight and recognition - about 20-30 percent of them - or the others seem to struggle to be polite, but clearly shut down. They show suspicion, even fear in their eyes, and those people often respond with statements like, “That’s your opinion. I don’t agree” or, “I’m not on board with that. I already have my plans, and I’m not ready to give them up.” Often, these so-called skeptics seem not to have heard many of the reassurances, like the clear explanation that this is not a death or a loss of any kind.

I have recently found it is more effective to explain that this process is really about Earth Mother’s spiritual path, and we are being invited to ascend with her. Most people otherwise assume that we will be going somewhere else - to a different place than we have known. I believe it is crucial to reassure everyone about that. We Earthlings tend to be very attached to our present Earth lives.

People are inclined to think first about their own safety, their physical comfort, their family and friends, and their ability to continue living out their life as they know it. When they are presented with the idea that they will not transcend alone, and perhaps there could be no mosquitoes, or other positive changes in the prevalence of disease and discomfort, they become a bit more interested.

Fear of not having enough, anxieties about retribution, or Gods presumed tendency to be ferociously punitive by way of floods, pestilence and other disasters - prevents some people from hearing the positive message, sometimes entirely. Some people freeze at the first mention of what they assume will be an attack on their religious beliefs, or lack of them. Of course, there’s always the possibility that they think I’m stark raving mad.

Perhaps a more familiar approach - first “selling” them on the idea that the future ascension will bring greater security, more sex, plenty of food, and fewer shootings will break through the normal tendency to assume that any change will deprive them of their freedom and their comforts. We must first reassure people before we can even begin to talk about spiritual expansion. It helps to at least break the psychological ice. These are just preliminary observations.

Ashtar: Thank you, Kathryn. I can see it is difficult for all of you to remain with us for this extended period of time. We will continue at our next meeting. Thank you. Go in peace, with our love and gratitude.

Namaste.”

When God Pinched My Toe, Part 4: Planning for Ascension

Again, I awoke with a shooting pain in my toe. I heard the now-familiar:

“I have something to tell you. I know this is hard on your sleep. I thank you for this.”

Here is the message I received, exactly as it was dictated to me:

“Do not dismiss these words which come to your electronic mailboxes along with the deluge of other trivial distractions. Put down your distractions and read my words carefully. I send you these messages with love, to prepare you for the coming events.

Those who are receiving this, please share it with everyone on your mailing lists. This message will also be recorded on Kathryn’s website.

Awake, my dear ones. I have important and joyful news for you.

There will be a gathering of souls from many places in the Multiverse. I invite you, Kathryn, to attend so that you can report back to your circle of friends and followers. The meeting will take place tomorrow night at midnight. I will take you there. You will be asked to contribute to the discussion because of your knowledge of Earthling psychology, in the planning phases of preparing your people for the coming event. You will know what to do when you get there. The gathering will be held in a place that is unfamiliar to you, so I will show you the way.

You will take notes to bring back and share with your readers so that they too will be included in the planning stages. They may comment or make suggestions or ask questions. We will answer as we can, although full disclosure of the planning and of the help you are getting from other beings may not be possible yet.

As you know, your governments can be very warlike and inclined to attack if they detect my legion of helpers and Lightworkers. You are aware of the brutal attack in Roswell, New Mexico, which your government denies to this day. I would ask your President to announce, as the British government has already done, that the years of evidence concerning UFO’s has shown that there is no danger from them. They are here to help you, and to be a tremendous source of information about technological advances which will greatly improve your lives in a way that will not endanger your planet, as your very primitive technologies do now.

Details will be revealed to all who are in a position to help because of their technical training and expertise when the time comes. My legions stand ready to teach Earth scientists and engineers technologies which will assure free and clean energy sources for all your citizens. The question remains when they will be allowed by powerful profit-oriented business leaders to do so.

You are aware of the anxiety and disruption to the emotional state of some of your humans at this time. Some respond with levels of individual violence in a way that has been previously less intense. The massive availability and interest in personal weaponry in your American culture makes your country a very dangerous place at this time. My workers have already begun to intervene where they can to minimize the damage, although they cannot prevent all the violence your citizens indulge in.

It will become necessary for psychologists like you and your other mental health workers to begin to reassure and calm those individuals who have been isolated and alienated in their lives. The efforts must extend to neighbors and family members, teachers and other helpers. I do not mean to encourage the first line of approach to these problems you have used in the past. The tendency to give powerful drugs which interfere with brain functioning and judgment have been a large part of the problem. Your so-called anti-depression and anti-anxiety drugs are extremely dangerous in their effects on your people, often causing the rise of homicides and suicides in your population. It is a volatile combination: weapons and unbalanced citizens.

Work together, all of you, to reestablish friendly connections to your neighbors, especially those who have been effected by the economic upheavals. Help to create a feeling of security rather than fighting each other for the resources which are, in some cases, diminishing. This is a complex issue, made worse by the efforts of the powerful few to hoard and control. You are surrounded by abundance. You only need to learn to share and distribute the abundance more fairly.

Learn charity rather than judgment. Practice generosity and service to others rather than developing grander schemes to deprive the already struggling poor of your planet. I do not wish for any of my children to go hungry or be left alone in their difficulties.

Poverty is a human creation, brought on by practices and attitudes of greed and arrogance. I have provided for you all to live in abundance, if you were to use your creative powers and imaginations toward solving these problems rather than making them worse.

You have a tendency to blame and deprive those souls who have, in their individual contracts with me, agreed to take on lives in which they will be presented with great challenges, facing the prejudices and judgment of your religions and cultures. Look to these people in wonder and compassion rather than blame. They are often the more courageous and daring among you. Do not be fooled by their outward appearances. Those souls who have volunteered to be tested by poverty, abuse and disability will be the ones who can be resilient visionaries in the coming weeks and months. Their transition will be easier than the ones who have invested in the accumulation of material comforts and economic power over others.

Fear, doubt and reluctance will arise in those whose thinking has become rigid and inflexible, either by economic privilege or by orthodox religious training. Look to yourselves to ease your grip on the ideas and beliefs you are sure of - the rules and regulations by which you and others would be controlled. I have dictated the book “Who Needs Light?” to Kathryn as a manual for preparing for your transition. I assure you that this “plug” for the book was inserted in spite of her misgivings. I consider it my book as much as it is hers. It is now time for me to reveal that the one called “Hemingway” with whom Kathryn was persuaded to collaborate, was me (with Ernie’s blessing).

I created you all to be imaginative, creative and loving beings. Do not be fooled by your cultural or religious training to think that humans require punishment and restriction as a general practice. These attitudes have created rather than prevented the dissension and division you suffer from now.

With an open heart, manage with care and compassion your inclinations to be fearful and judgmental. These feelings lead you to try to develop and enforce restrictions on each other. Do not succumb to anxiety and fear. Open your minds to the glorious pleasures I have in store for you.

Share rather than hoarding and protecting your wealth and your supplies. I will continue to provide for your needs. Acknowledge my Universal Law of Flow, as Kathryn has described in our book. You will create further abundance and good will by every act of sharing, kindness, compassion and service to others. Join in the heart-expanding gatherings of Lightworkers who are already preparing for the joyful Ascendance to a higher plane of existence.

Do not be distracted by your traditional obsessions with working and earning. It has deprived you of the joys of being together in love and community. Look to your artists, your poets and musicians for comfort and guidance. You are on the verge of a new era in which you will experience a blossoming of creativity and joy. Each of you can do your part to move this flowering forward. Involve yourselves in creating beauty for those around you - not just in your private places, your isolated dens where you hide from each other. Reach out to create beauty all around you, in the spirit of sharing your abundance. You will reap unimaginable rewards in spirit and peace of mind.

Those of you who have learned meditation and other calming practices will benefit from the ability to expand your minds and manage your emotions. Send me your prayers and your fears. I am listening to you, each and every one.

Go in love,

I Am That I Am.”
