The Truth in a nutshell

Since the beginning of human existence on our planet Earth, Satan, who represents the dark forces of evil, and his puppets have twisted and hidden Truth. The Truthbringers have been killed and their writings have been deliberately distorted to give people disinformation and lies.

All knowledge such as history, science, and religion have been altered to conceal Truth. The "holy books" given as guides to mankind have especially been altered to hide Truth. This was done deliberately so we would break the Laws of God by freely choosing evil over good. Our soul growth would be stopped and Satan would win, because he now controlled our free-will.

One last time Truth is now being brought again to Earth's people. Some people have sincerely prayed to the One true God of Light, Aton, for help. God Aton (Creator God) has honored those petitions and has sent the "Hosts of Heaven" to help us. The Hosts of Heaven are our cosmic brothers and sisters from Pleiades, and from Sirius and other star systems of the Cosmos. Some people call them angels, even though they are HU-man (Higher Universal-man) and look like us. Others call them aliens. These cosmic humans are from 5th and higher dimensions or heaven. We of Earth are of third dimension. They have higher frequencies than we do, have greater technology, and are part of the Heavenly Realms. There is no evil in 5th and higher dimensions, thus, they come in love and light. They have come to bring us Truth one more time before the end of this last third dimensional civilization on our Earth.

The Pleiadians from the star-group the "Seven Sisters" or the Pleiades, and other Brothers and Sisters of Light are presently orbiting our Earth in their starships. Some of them have been here since the 1930's in their starships and on the Earth in human form. Their starships appear in the night sky as flashing or twinkling stars. Many of these ships have strobing rainbow colored lights and appear as flashing red, blue, gold, green, and white lights. They can be easily seen on a clear, dark night to the naked eye.

The message they bring is Truth. Some of this Truth has been transmitted by radio signal code from Commander Gyeorgos Ceres Hatonn's command ship, The Phoenix, to his scribe, Doris Ekker (Dharma), who lived with her husband, E.J. Ekker, at Tehachapi, California. Dharma converted these radio signal transmissions into written form by computer. This written form was then published in the international newspaper, Contact and in the Phoenix Journals. These Phoenix Journals are Creator God’s Truth given again especially to us in our time in unaltered form. You are encouraged to read them and discern for yourself what is Truth. I suggest that you begin by reading the basic Phoenix Journals which are numbers 2, 3, 5, 7, 27, and 47. This message of Truth that the Hosts of God Aton bring to us today is simple, yet very upsetting to many people as they discover the "lie" of Satan. I shall state this message as concisely as possible -- the Truth in a "Nutshell".

We live on a planet we call "Earth". This word "earth" is a generic term for "planet". The universe contains many "earths", each with a cosmic name. The Cosmic name for our earth is "Shan", meaning the planet of tears, so the Heavenly Realms refer to our earth as Earth Shan. We sometimes call our earth, "Mother Earth". The cosmic name which means "mother earth" is Gaia. Our Gaia or Mother Earth is really a living sentient being. As a mother, our Earth contains life and energy frequencies. She births us, nourishes us, and sustains our life.

We, the people on Earth-Shan, have been tricked into believing lies and misinformation about every aspect of our existence. We have been told the lie that God Aton is a God of wrath and judgment. God Aton is the God of Light and Love. He created us in His image (HU-man), with a free-will to choose our pathway of either good or evil.

We have been told the lie that God Aton lives in "heaven", and that He sits on His throne and rules and judges the world. The Truth is that God Aton lives within each of His creations. He lives within us as our God Spirit. Our physical body is His temple. By free-will choice our thoughts can become God Aton’s thoughts. We have the mind of God Aton within. We have God Aton’s power within. Thus, we have the power to mind-create as God Aton mind-creates! This is Truth, and our God Spirit within us knows this Truth, for our God Spirit knows all Truth.

Our pathway of soul progression is like a giant spiral. To move at all along our pathway is to move either upward or downward. Because life is dynamic, that is ever changing, we never stand still. We are always moving upward into the Light or downward into the Darkness. With God Aton there is no middle ground. We are either living on the side of goodness or on the side of evil, of soul perfection or of soul regression.

We have been told that reincarnation is untrue. This statement is part of Satan's "lie". Esu Immanuel taught reincarnation to his disciples. He taught that the purpose of human life on this planet is to provide experiences through which we are to perfect our soul. Over many lifestreams we continue with our lessons in soul perfection until, through our freewill choices, we have learned to choose good over evil. Our goal is to learn to live the Laws of God and the Laws of Creation in balance and harmony and to become One with God Aton, our Creator, again. In 525 A.D. the Second Council of Constantinople was held by the church fathers to alter the "scriptures" for their evil intent. At that time, for example, they removed all of the teachings of Esu Immanuel concerning reincarnation and any specific reference to starships from the "holy bible". Reincarnation, aliens or off-world humans, and cosmic travel by starship are facts that were removed from the early writings.

Another lie is that we are not really responsible for the evil we have done, because "God will save us". God will forgive us because he sacrificed His Son on some cross somewhere to pay for our sins to avenge God's wrath. Does a God of Love deliberately allow His Son to be killed as a sacrifice for a lot of very evil people? Of course not! The basic Law of the Cosmos, the Law of Cause and Effect or the Law of Return states that there is a cause and an effect for all that happens. Stated in another way the Law of Returns says that you shall reap what you sow. This means that everyone is responsible for their choices and actions. These Satanic cult lies would have us believe otherwise. The Truth is that we all are responsible for our choices between good and evil. We are held responsible for breaking any of the Laws of God Aton and of Creation. There is no one who will "make it right" for us but ourselves. No one is going to "save" us from our sins! We are held personally responsible for every Cosmic Law we break.

The Truth is that Esu Immanuel came as a Truthbringer, the son of Archangel Gabriel. He did not die as reported, but survived the murder attempt (crucifixion) against him by the Khazarian Zionist Jews (Pharisees). He fled to India, married, had a family, traveled widely, and taught Truth until his death in Kashmir at the age of 107 years. Esu did not come to save anyone. He brought the Laws of God and the Laws of Creation again to Earth's people. God does not judge us. We judge ourselves according to those Laws. God does not save us. We save ourselves by living according to the Laws of God and Creation. At the end of each of our lifestreams we again stand alone before God Aton and judge ourselves concerning our soul growth and soul perfection. We then determine where we shall go for our next lifestream of lessons.

Another lie told to us by Satan and his followers is that there will be a "rapture", that Esu Immanuel would return in the clouds at the end of the age and sweep up the "faithful" into "heaven" in some magical way. Esu never taught this. In fact, the word "rapture" is not even found in the "bible"! It is the disciple, Paul, and others who distorted Esu’s teachings years later. Esu did say that he would return at the end of this civilization after 2000 years of study. He would be given a new name, he would be victorious over Satan, and the Kingdom of Heaven would be established on Earth Shan at that time.

Esu’s real name was Esu Immanuel. Immanuel means "God with us". The name, "Jesus Christ", which means "the anointed one", which denotes deity was assigned to him years later by his enemies. Esu Immanuel has now been given a new name by the Heavenly Realms. This name is “Sananda”, which means "One with God". Esu Immanuel Sananda (Jesus) returned to Earth-Shan in 1954, and is now waiting for God Aton’s orders to announce the establishment of Creator God Aton’s Kingdom of Heaven on Earth Shan. Sananda travels the way all celestial beings travel, by starship. He is presently aboard the command ship, The Phoenix, awaiting his orders from Creator God Aton.

Other lies we have been told are that the life of Earth-Shan, our "Mother Earth", goes on indefinitely, and that mankind began life on this planet with Adam and Eve. The Truth of our human history on this planet goes back 206 million years. Earth-Shan, within the Milky Way Galaxy, completes one "great orbit" around the "Greatest Central Sun", the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, every 206 million years. Earth-Shan completed its twenty-second "great orbit" on August 17, 1987. At the beginning of our last "great orbit" (206 million years ago) humans were placed on Earth-Shan. Past civilizations have had an average length of 10,000 to 12,000 years; therefore, many civilizations have existed on our Earth prior to our present one. The Truth is that "Adam and Eve" date back only 10,000 to 12,000 years.

Earth humans were given one "great cycle" (206 million years) to learn and follow the Laws of God Aton and of Creation to achieve soul perfection, and thus to bring our civilization into total harmony and balance with the Laws of God Aton and Creation. This was never achieved because humans, with the exercising of their freewill, did not learn to properly choose between good and evil. They chose not to follow God Aton’s Laws and the Laws of Creation. In fact, Satan and his evil followers re-wrote those laws and deliberately twisted the Truth to trick everyone.

Earth Shan as a celestial body has now earned the cosmic right to move into a higher dimension. This process began at the end of the last "great orbit" or on August 17, 1987. Earth Shan is now going through a cleansing process of earth changes to remove all the human-caused pollution and negative energies residing upon her. Cosmic law states that no evil is allowed beyond fourth dimension. Because Earth-Shan now is moving into fifth dimension, all evil must be removed from her. At some point soon everyone must leave this planet!

This is precisely why our Pleiadian brothers and sisters have come at this time, and this is why Sananda has returned. They bring Truth. Those of us who are enlightened to Truth and are living the Laws of God and Creation will be evacuated to safety. We will go with our planet into fifth dimension (Heaven on Earth). Those who chose not to listen to Truth, but to wait for their "fake rapture" to occur, will be recycled back to another 3D dark planet through reincarnation. There, they will continue in their soul perfection at the various levels where they left off in this lifestream. Others will go to the caves to start over again, and others will go to the Void (Hell), where there is no Light. They will have many planets from which to choose for their next lessons, as there are more than 178 billion life-supporting planets within our Milky Way Galaxy alone.

As God Aton decreed, one more time Truth would go out to the fourwinds. One last time Truth would be brought to everyone on Earth Shan. This is now happening! Truth is now being given freely one more time to everyone on Earth Shan. Please consider that God Aton did not decree that you had to listen to Truth, read Truth or believe Truth. With your own freewill, you must choose. With your God Spirit within, you will know. This is now your opportunity to choose, for this is Truth being presented to you one last time. God Aton, the Hosts of Heaven and Space Command give no guarantee that you will be presented the Truth ever again in this lifestream, if you do not listen now. May you choose wisely.

We are fast approaching “the end of the age”, the end of our Earth’s last civilization in third dimension and the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment. Earth Shan, as a sentient being, has asked, and Creator God Aton has decreed that this present 3D civilization is the last one for our planet. She shall go through her normal cleansing via earth changes and be restored to her original pristine condition in the higher frequencies of fifth dimension, where no evil exists. [A discussion of coming earth changes and planetary evacuation can be found in Phoenix Journal #4, Chapters 8 and 9, and Phoenix Journal #5, Chapter 5 ].

This is Truth. Whether you choose to accept what is written here as Truth is your decision. I cannot convince you of anything. Only through your God Spirit within can you know Truth. If you sincerely seek Truth, God Aton has promised that you shall find it. Truth is freedom of the soul. Truth is total joy in being and knowing. I urge you to ponder this most carefully.

THE SECRET OATH OF THE 32nd DEGREE MASONS

THE SECRET OATH OF THE 32nd DEGREE MASONS

From THE SEEKERS, Jan./Feb. 1997,

[quoting:]

“Brother thou has finished thy instructions as a chief of Freemasonry. Pronounce thy supreme oath, ‘I swear to recognize no fatherland but that of the world. I swear to work hard everywhere and always to destroy frontiers, boundaries of all nations, of all industries, no less than of all families. I swear to dedicate my life to the triumph of progress and universal unity and I declare to profess the negation of God and the negation of the soul.’ And now Brother, that for thee, fatherland, religion and family have disappeared forever in the immensity of the work of Freemasonry, come to us and share with us the boundless authority, the infinite power that we hold over humanity. The only key to progress and happiness, the only rules of food are thy appetites and instincts.”

This is the end product of a succession of oaths taken upon initiation in degrees that become progressively 31 more Satanic or Luciferic. So secret are they that nothing is ever written, but committed to memory only.

FEAR

I note a couple of thoughts pass your minds as you think a moment on this truth.
Fear is there—first, fear is there! A man by the label of J.H. Newman made an observation about this fleeting ongoing lifestream and stated:

“Fear not that life shall come to an end, but rather fear that it shall never have a beginning!”

Wisdom often comes forth in such small sentences that hold a lifetime of meaning.
As we write, it is that it appears WHAT we offer you is filled to overflow with fear and warnings, reminders of that which you allowed to happen and hopelessness in the looking back to see that you somehow slept as “time” passed and that which happened became a prison warden instead of freedom for flight and soaring joy.

Friends, your fears will lock you up if you let them. They can prevent you from tasting adventure, from experiencing new wonders. You are often terrified of unknowns and fret about what might happen if you try something new. You worry if new people will like you—if you’ll fit in and myriads of other negative pressured thoughts.
Be cautious about the unknown and remember that all things new are but “unknown mysteries”. They are not “mystical”, only a bit of mystery until you taste, feel or experience and come into knowledge. Yes the “unknown” can “getcha” if you lack wisdom to attend selves in truth and KNOWING. Do not, however, blame GOD for YOUR lack of action when you have OPPORTUNITY to learn and properly attend selves and those things which you consider your responsibility.

Perhaps a new way to look at the “fear” is that, except for the unknowing, it cannot be “fear”! Why? Because beyond the fear is ALWAYS the underlying JOY you haven’t yet discovered. You hold the keys to your own cages and you can free yourselves when you use your courage and inner strength to overcome your fears—for all the necessary instructions and lock combinations are held within your mind if you do not lock IT away in dogma and MAN’s doctrines.
Can you reconsider your “moment” now and offer some possibilities for finding a new JOY which can be discovered beneath your fear today? Can you not accept that life is but a puzzle to be solved, a grand mystery to be unfolded through seeing, hearing, and learning?

There is a book entitled Tough Times Never Last But Tough People Do! This does not say “hard
people”—it infers and states: Tough. Constantly hold in your minds: Growth is the only evidence of life.

Life is like a long train journey where friends and loved ones depart unexpectedly...here was my stop on the line. R.I.P.

Phoenix Journal No. 144

Goethe: “There is no one so hopelessly enslaved as he who falsely believes he is free.”


TASK OF BRINGING TRUTH

Does it matter to me? Yes, but not terribly, for your choices are yours—my task of truth-bringing is not changed by YOUR choice. I am not at WAR with anyone over anything. My mission is to offer a hand as requested and the truth—no more and no less. Interference is not acceptable—intervention is carefully studied at all times. Are there “star wars?” No, no more, that is, than on your “star”—isolated and totally stupid. But, you are correct, as with “your” garbage, it is “your stupid” so you have a right to hold it and fight for it if you so choose. I find stupid garbage to be the major polluting factor on your globe.
When global society is reduced to robotic control by slap-stick stupid actions, violence, terror, fear, disease, war, blood, immorality, deviance in all manners of ways, corruption, greed, lust and resulting acts of lust, rape, pillage and plundering, disrespect for anything or anyone—you have trouble! YOU HAVE TROUBLE IN A BIG WAY!

Do “we” have trouble? NO. We have “problems” presented by the “troublers” and “troubled”. We also have “SOLUTIONS” for our problems. There is a gargantuan difference. When the SPIRIT is centered and Balanced there may well be continuing problems which “trouble” the consciousness—but the being is not thrown into chaos by such disruptions. For example, Dharma has problems which “trouble” but they do not disrupt the balance of Spiritual status. This makes the “problem” “objective”. When the problem causes perturbations to the “Spirit” it is “trouble” but stability can be regained by KNOWING TRUTH.
Does this mean that the problem will “go away”? No, it means that in wisdom it is known that every problem has a solution. Wise handling of the problem offers dissolution of the “trouble”. Unwise action will enhance the “trouble”. Therefore, WISDOM becomes the method of desired operation. Is this always possible? Yes, but it is rarely ALWAYS presented as the chosen “possibility”. No man has a “corner on the market” of unwise decisions. There is, however, a WONDERFUL SET OF GUIDELINES which, if always utilized in every action and decision, will merit WISE DECISIONS AND SOLUTIONS.
At the time of the “trouble” it is usually not immediately recognized by the individual as only a
“problem”, Dharma included. Recognize which is assaulting and RESPOND carefully. Do not REACT wildly. The resolution will always come through wisdom in response to a problem presented. Trouble will simply be enhanced by the REACTIONS in ignorance of ego tantrums and demands. Am I some kind of nutty expert on Spiritual and emotional “stuff”, i.e., “problem” vs “trouble”?? No, I am an “authority” on the subject through learning and experience by gaining WISDOM through both. JUST LIKE YOU! I learned but perhaps you have yet to learn? I know who I AM; who might you be? If you begin your response to this last question with “I think...” then you have “trouble” or at the very least—a “problem”. If I “know” and you only “think” then, by universal law, I’ve gotcha’ two to one and have all the trump cards still holding.
GOD always sends His troops (messengers) when the problems present—and by the time the
problems are “troubles” we are in full force. But most never find us in the midst of the LIES.
The LIGHT is always there for the seeing—but most just keep trying to “put it out” so that their
own perceptions of themselves are not “found out”. God KNOWS, students, and when the big
“professor” in the sky, Who CREATED you as a wondrous machine, KNOWS, there isn’t anything else worth noting to continue to HIDE from.
I certainly am not here for your “religious” exercises, friends; I am here with facts as they ARE. I don’t deal in wishes and druthers—I DEAL IN REALITY—not within YOUR ILLUSIONS AND DELUSIONS. IF YOU DON’T LIKE THIS FACT, THEN I MOST CERTAINLY SUGGEST YOU LOOK AROUND YOU AND THEN VERY CAREFULLY AT SELF. If “I” am somehow a threat to you—perhaps you had better ask “why?”. If I but represent one more 68,000 year old space cadet—why would that concern you? Why would my message concern you? Why? BECAUSE I AM NOT! AND MOREOVER: YOU KNOW IT!
I don’t need to hang around and dwell on the “shortness” of “time”. We can speak of events and sequence of events—but “time” actually has no meaning at all. You have all the time in the universe—infinite eternity.

The point is: WHERE WILL YOU EXPRESS THAT ETERNITY? HUMMM-HUMMNN!
Salu, have a “hard” day. The “nice day” routine is a Khazarian phrase meaning “sleep well”.

CHAPTER 4
REC #1 HATONN
FRI., JUN. 23, 1995 7:42 A.M. YEAR 8, DAY 311
FRI., JUN. 23, 1995

“Yea, though we walk through the valley...”

Dharma, staring at the empty screen will not our work get done! Let us share a moment in communication and understanding, and then perhaps the recognition of “what” brings such sadness and loneliness this morning might emerge. May I ask that this be considered a response to several people at a most personal level for there is such a contradiction of “feelings” in my compatriots as to cause us all to stop and take note of what is happening to ourselves. Most especially I want to respond to the loving note from Wally G., although he will suggest he sent it not to me. He did and I hear. Dear Friends, it is not a matter of work finished or waiting to be done as much as it is that no matter what might be our “work”—there is always MORE. Gloriously, there is always MORE. We call it “work” for it is not the labor as such which impacts
our senses; it is our necessary confrontation of choices, patience, feelings of unworthiness, loneliness, and sorrow that sweeps across our LIVING MINDS. The consciousness responds in hopelessness oft-times, flitting here and there to find all the chinks in our armor of Light which will allow the true feelings of helplessness and “child” to rise to the surface and consume the moment. We are, after all, but children finding our way in a time and space which makes no sense to our REALITY. So what is it that tugs at us and pulls us away from all that “others” accept as their plight, their passage, their rightful RIGHT to live in an empty void absent wisdom, intellectual challenge and entrapment in that environment. If this be “their
‘right’ “ then how dare we intrude upon the moment of their lessons? Can we love, watch, and maintain respect for that which is so damaging to our senses as to overwhelm us at times? Yes, we can, we must and WE SHALL.
Is it loss that causes us the unfettered need to continue our pursuit of that which is part of us? No, it is our “growth” which causes us to push on for, as we grow in understanding and recognition of our acquired KNOWING and confrontation of TRUTH, our consciousness will no longer accept the ignorant incarceration of our brother’s mind. It has nothing to do, actually, with our brother’s desires—it is the LIE which confronts our senses like a disease of unending proportion. The terrible sadness which sweeps our beings is a grieving, a terrible and deep grieving for that which we must release and the terror of breaking away from the recognized security (but death sentence) of that which IS abounding about us, accepting it and others as “their” right to express but the feelings of selfdislike for having allowed, especially our close and beloved ones, to become part of the lie—of which we were the largest part as we matured. But remember, we can only be a product of that which came before.
The student will have no alternative save to learn from the professor, so our learning can be no better than our teacher—be it kindergarten or LIFE. So where, sir, were you when I was first learning? I was right there waiting for you to grow enough to hear me. The stage was set and lighted but the growing had to take place—just as with each being. We are not separate, one from another—only expressing differently.

Things to ponder lest we forget where we came from

There is no week nor day nor hour when tyranny may
not enter upon this country—if the people lose their
confidence in themselves—and lose their roughness and
spirit of defiance.—Walt Whitman

The “Woodrow Wilson Award for Public Service”
is in the tradition of the “Jeffrey Dahmer Medal for
Better Human Relations”. It reminds me of the 1973
Nobel Peace Prize won by Henry Kissinger.
Previous recipients include James Baker, Dick
Cheney and the much hated Brian Mulroney. At the
dinner, George W. Bush lauded Mr. Harper (via
video) for his “leadership” in the war on terror and
ended by saying “God bless Steve.”
Harper is following in the footsteps of Woodrow
Wilson who betrayed his country in 1913 by setting
up the Federal Reserve Bank, and again in 1917 by
entering World War One, which was about to end in
a draw. In both cases Wilson was blackmailed and
manipulated. In a famous statement for posterity,
Wilson confessed:
“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly
ruined my country. A great industrial nation is
controlled by its system of credit. Our system of
credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation,
therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a
few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled,
one of the most completely controlled and dominated
Governments in the civilized world no longer a
Government by free opinion, no longer a Government
by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a
Government by the opinion and duress of a small
group of dominant men.”

“The individual is handicapped by coming face-toface
with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe
it exists.”—J. Edgar Hoover

“Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to
defend truth is to suppress it; and indeed to neglect
to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less
a sin than to encourage them.” –Pope St. Felix III

“If ever again our nation stumbles upon
unfunded paper, it shall surely be like death to our
body politic. This country will crash.”—George
Washington, first President of United States of
America (paraphrased from a letter to Jabez Bowen,
Rhode Island, Jan. 9, 1787)
