Friends,

This is a chance for all of us to truly help some brothers and sisters in need. They don't need our money, they need firewood. We are organizing trucks with horse trailers or whatever to go down asap with wood. If you want to really help some ancient people that really have a need, NOW, please pray to see if you can help.

If you have wood and want us to pick up some, call me. If you have a truck, four wheel drive is needed and a trailer, call me. If you have cash to help with so we can purchase fire wood, call me. If you have cash to help with gas to drive it there, call me. I will be up north today putting this together.

What an incredible opportunity to help other people.

Please call,
Doug Mendenhall
435-469-2294

PS I just talked to the contact person at the Hopi service center and he confirmed that they are completely out of firewood. I asked if he could use ten cords delivered by tomorrow night and he was quite excited. Please help if you can. We have four cords committed right now and two trucks. We could use gas money and more trucks and more wood.
=======================================================

Hoa, Shalom, O'siyo,

This is being sent to all who have contacted me over the past two weeks, friends, family, associates and others with hearts of Joseph.

I just returned from Hopi land, (Thursday) and it may be a few days before I can return your emails and phone calls, but there is an urgent emergency about which I thought I would seek your prayers and possibly additional help for Hopi.

For the sixth time in their modern history, the Hopi have requested outside help to deal with a federally declared disaster in the wake of a highly unusual snow storm that dumped up to four feet on parts of Hopi land.

When I drove into Hopi land from Window Rock on Hwy 243, just to the west of Ganado, when the highway finally opened on Saturday night and Sunday morning, the first thing I saw at first light, was a horse lying frozen and dead beside a fence. There is no telling how many times this scene would have been repeated had I had light to see. Dozens of other horses had come up to the fences lining the highway, seeking some kind of mercy from passing cars and trucks and dozens of Hopi walking on foot between villages.

The horses were being fed just about everything to keep them alive. Apples, peanut butter sandwiches, unpeeled oranges. While truckloads of green hay was being delivered to horses on the Navajo reservation, which surrounds Hopi, I saw no such hay coming to Hopi.

Arriving early in connection with a film documentary on the Hopi message and the connection of some Hopi clans with Jerusalem, and the film producers caught in the aftermath of the storm in Flagstaff until the roads were opened, I had time to volunteer to help with the relief effort, mostly delivering sandbags in my truck to villages that were otherwise inaccessible. That gave me a first-hand look of the situation, which I would now like to relate.

On Monday afternoon, which was two days after the snow had ended, and the sun had returned, the snow pack was still more than a foot to 18 inches across Hopi land with drifts approaching four feet. Only Hwy 243 from Ganado and a road connecting Second Mesa to Winslow, AZ., were opened and none of the villages were passable without 4WD. More than 900 calls for firewood, coal or fuel had been received by the emergency center set up at the Veteran's Memorial Center between 2nd and 3rd Mesas. Where the snow had been cleared by the few scrapers available, mud was about six to nine inches thick again making travel in the villages impossible without 4WD and stranding hundreds of elderly and infirm.

FEMA had provided two helicopters to fly in medical supplies and prescriptions and check on the infirm who live in remote areas.

Another 150 or so calls had been received requesting sandbags for leaking roofs, and porous foundations. On Third Mesa, many of the mud-brick houses are built directly atop the ground (in these villages the ground is considered sacred so it is not disturbed as much as possible, therefore houses and kivas are built directly atop the ground. Initially, these houses had dirt floors but many have since been tiled over. Still, the water from the massive snow melt was streaming into walls and ceilings. Two FEMA trucks had arrived filled with drinking water, sandbags and other emergency supplies but no firewood.

Surrounded by Navajo, the Hopi must rely on firewood from the Hopi Mesas and contiguous areas, the Navajo dealing with their own emergencies, although much better equipped to do so than the Hopi. Two truckloads of firewood were expected to arrive from California to the west on the day I had to leave in order to avoid being snowbound from another storm that hit Wednesday night and Thursday.

President Obama the day after the first storm hit, declared the region a major disaster area making it eligible for FEMA assistance. However, the one need of the Hopi - firewood - was not met by the FEMA assistance.

The national emergency is to last for 60 days, but the Hopi are out of firewood throughout their mesas NOW. On Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights, they were surviving in many homes huddled under quilts with NO HEAT.

Meanwhile, the four-leggeds, including predators were on the prowl. I personally spotted a mountain lion track about 150 yards west of the Cultural Resources Center on 2nd Mesa , which has the reservation's only motel and restaurant. It was a big cat whose paws pressed a good inch into the icepack … and there were spots of fresh blood where the tracks of something smaller abruptly ended.

The kwahus and other wingeds were nowhere to be seen, except for literally hundreds of crow that also seemed desperate for food which could not be found atop the frozen ground.

The first storm hit as the adolescent Hopi boys whose mothers felt they were ready for initiation rites, were being instructed in the rites of the different kiva societies. The second storm stuck on the day they were to come out of the kivas and prepare for the Bean Dance, which begins this weekend.

Hopi elders said they were caught unawares because this storm they believe was caused by changes in weather patterns due to global earth changes taking place. Elders had anticipated a bad winter and had encouraged Hopi to stockpile wood, but repeated cold snaps have now exhausted these supplies. The pressing need is for firewood at least for the next 60 days until the coldest of the weather passes.

I am especially asking anyone with LDS and RLDS connections to notify their leadership of this emergency and encourage the stakes especially in southern Utah to bring truckloads of firewood to Hopi. They don't need your money. They are truly self sufficient except for this pressing need which has suddenly been thrust upon them.

If the Mormon community truly believes the Hopi are connected with the Lamanites of the Book of Mormon, it is time to reach out to these "relatives." But all Joes on this list who have the true heart of Joseph are encouraged to pray and if they have the means, to help somehow.

Please give me a few days to complete the contacts I promised I would make in connection with this emergency. Then I will read your emails and answer the phone calls I missed while away.

Hoa, Shalom, Gah gey you e, Asaweh,

ben Yoseif

THE TRAGEDY - FINAL

Heaven's Gate Revisited

Heaven's Gate Revisited

Thirteen years ago, 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult committed mass suicide inside a Rancho Santa Fe mansion. First responders are still haunted by the gruesome discovery. "We didn't know what to expect going in there," said sheriff's Deputy Robert Brunk, who returned to the site of the now-razed Rancho Santa Fe house last week. He was the first to arrive in 1997. Thirteen years ago one of the strangest events in the county history exploded into the public's consciousness. For several days, it was the biggest news story in the world.

Rio DiAngelo, whose real name was Richard Ford, drove with his boss from Los Angeles to the mansion. After looking inside, he placed an anonymous phone call to 911 that dispatchers initially found inconceivable. "I don't think anybody really believed what the person was saying," said Robert Brunk, a sheriff's deputy who had just started his shift at the Encinitas station. "It was an anonymous call to the communications center stating that 40 people had committed suicide and they were cult members. It came out as a 'welfare check,' and they had held the call for a while because it was busy."


Brunk went to the address, 18241 Colina Norte, which turned out to be a 9,000-square-foot, two-story home up a 200-foot driveway. "As I'm driving, I'm thinking to myself, 'How am I going to explain to the people that live there the purpose for my visit?'" But when he arrived, things seemed odd. All the windows were closed and the curtains drawn. Two vans parked in the driveway were rented, a dispatcher confirmed. Brunk found an unlocked door on the side of the house. When he opened it, the stench nearly knocked him over. He shouted that he was with the Sheriff's Department, then backed out and waited for Deputy Laura Gacek, who arrived in a separate patrol car. "We didn't know what to expect going in there," Brunk said. "You start thinking of cults and all sorts of things start playing in your mind ­ animal and human sacrifice, that kind of thing."


"As we entered the house, we started seeing bodies that were covered up. ... Every room that you went into, we found more. Some were in bunk beds. They were all in their running suits with their 'Heaven's Gate Away Team' patch on the sleeve. There was a computer flashing 'Red Alert,' sort of like 'Star Trek.' There was still a load of laundry in the machine. It was surreal."


Purple shrouds covered all but two bodies. Brunk remembers lifting the shroud off only one person, among the youngest. He also remembers shaking a foot of every body to check for rigor mortis. All were wearing black Nike running shoes with the white swoosh on the side. "The Nike symbol triggers my memory more than any one thing," said Brunk, a 17-year veteran. "I remember their shoes, all 39 pairs."


Later, Brunk and Gacek gave their supervisors a complete account of what they had found. "It was kind of like a Kodak moment as we watched their jaws drop," Brunk said. The two deputies were taken to a hospital to be examined in case they had been exposed to anything toxic. On the trip there, the driver asked what was happening. "After I told him, he looked at me as if thinking, 'Maybe we're taking you to the wrong type of hospital,' " Brunk said.


Hanging on the walls of Capt. Don Crist's office at the San Marcos sheriff's station are two large, framed photographs. One is a panoramic shot of the largest news conference ever conducted by the Sheriff's Department. It took place in an auditorium on the Del Mar Fairgrounds the day after the bodies were discovered. The other picture is of Hale-Bopp in a desert sky.


Janja Lalich, a sociology professor at California State University Chico and an expert on cults, said the appeal of cults is still strong. "I think there are plenty of groups still around," Lalich said. "This is just a part of life. Many people are looking for answers in a fast-paced world, Lalich said. Some get what they need in mainstream religions, while others find the framework they are seeking in an alternative religious movement. At some level, it helps people to latch on to something. People are looking for a quick fix. A lot of groups will offer that panacea. The growth of the Internet has expanded people's capacity to find groups they otherwise might not have been aware of. The Internet also has enabled detractors to better provide warnings about cults. It is good to have more information available to those thinking of joining. If only people put as much thought into joining a cult as they did in buying a car," she added.


Crist and the late Ron Reina headed the sheriff's media office. The media storm began to hit about 5 p.m. the day the bodies were found, after word of the suicides leaked. It was unlike anything that had come before for the department and would be rivaled only by the Santana High School shootings four years later. The local media arrived, followed in the next two hours by hundreds of reporters and photographers who raced to The Ranch from Los Angeles. The Academy Awards had been held two nights earlier, and many national and international news crews were still in town.


Crist remembers driving to the mansion. It was dark out, but there was a glow visible from miles away, as if a stadium had been floodlit for a sporting event. It was the lights from the TV satellite trucks. "I came over the hill and every person in the world was there. People were running up to me, asking what I knew. Local media, Korean, Japanese, German. ... I had never experienced anything like that."


The next day, the Sheriff's Department made a bold, and within the department, controversial decision to release a 90-second videotape shot the night before inside the mansion. The news conference was attended by hundreds, but as the tape began playing, you could hear a pin drop, Crist said. Showing the video clip had the unintended effect of denying DiAngelo a big payday. The former cult member also had videotaped the scene in the mansion, in hopes of selling the tapes to news outlets. The news conference made his footage worthless. The story was front-page news in virtually every newspaper in the world. Television networks ran specials. The cover of Time magazine featured a close-up photo of a wild-eyed Applewhite and the words, Inside the Web of Death. The cult was parodied on 'Saturday Night Live.'


Detective Rick Scully -- In the homicide unit, where they usually play things close to the vest, the decision to release so much information at the news conference made investigators uncomfortable. But within a few hours of examining the scene in the mansion, Rick Scully said, investigators were confident about what they were dealing with.


Mark Malamatos, a medical examiner's investigator, caught his breath while helping unload bodies at the Medical Examiner's Office in Kearny Mesa in 1997. Scully, a veteran homicide detective considered among the best, was the lead investigator for Heaven's Gate. So many bodies was a challenge, but as a whodunit, it was easy. After obtaining a search warrant, and after a hazardous-materials team had determined the air in the house was safe, Scully and others went inside. "It was like being in the Twilight Zone. We were wandering from room to room to room, and every room we went into we were finding bodies. You're thinking: 'When is this going to end? How many bodies are going to be in here? How many rooms are there to this place?' Because every room we went in had bodies stacked up like cordwood." He remembers thinking, 'How could people do this to each other. What kind of person led them to do this?' "Then we got to the final room. Marshall Applewhite, aka Do. It was the upstairs master bedroom, a huge room, and he had the bedroom to himself. Great big bed. He's all propped up with pillows around him. As soon as you walked in, you knew this guy was the head chief. He was the leader."


The cult and its leader -- From a follow-up report written by Scully: "The members of Heaven's Gate adhered to a strict doctrine. Members led a regimented lifestyle. Particular attention was paid to: punctuality, cleanliness, orderliness, personal possessions, how to dress, what to eat, how to phrase a question, and most importantly desires. Each member was assigned a partner to watch over him or her in order that they could constantly fight their 'human desires.'


Autopsies showed the 39 suicide victims at the Rancho Santa Fe house - 21 women and 18 men - died by eating pudding and applesauce laced with drugs. "Their beliefs were a hybrid of science fantasy (UFOs and aliens) and Christian beliefs. Essentially they believed that God and the Kingdom of God were extraterrestrial. They believed that they descended from this extraterrestrial kingdom and took occupancy in human bodies some 20 years or so ago. They believed that they had learned all there was to learn of the human condition and that it was time to return to the kingdom from where they came."


The cult was renting the mansion, which was razed a few years later. The name of the street also was changed. Some of the Heaven's Gate members earned income for the group by providing computer services and Web site design through their company, Higher Source. Before coming to San Diego County, Applewhite and his followers had lived a nomadic existence, trying to stay ahead of cultists' families. Most who died had joined during the 1970s, but eight had come to the group in the 1990s. Members ranged in age from 26 to 72. More than half were in their 40s. Many of those who joined had been searching for answers and goals, family members said. Applewhite offered a simpler, more focused way of life that also isolated group members from the outside world and fostered a shared belief system. Some left behind children and spouses to join the group.

"The investigation revealed that (the decedents) were ardent followers of Do, Marshall Applewhite. ... Members wrote that their only purpose was to make Do happy," a Sheriff's Department report concluded. Together they ate their final meal March 21 at Marie Callender's in Carlsbad. Their orders were identical: salad and chicken pot pies, with cheesecake for dessert. The next day, working in shifts, they made their exit.

Six weeks later, two male cult members who had not been at the mansion attempted suicide at an Encinitas motel, using phenobarbital and wearing Nikes. One died; the other was found barely alive but survived. Nine months later, his body was found in a tent in the Arizona desert, a suicide. Russell Pryor and Michael Ellano, both forensic autopsy assistants, had the job of processing and unloading the bodies from refrigerated trucks, as dozens of photographers recorded the scene. A photo of the two of them, on a break and looking exhausted, was printed in newspapers across the country.


Christina Stanley, now the chief deputy medical examiner, was in her last year as a fellow in training. Stanley conducted 11 Heaven's Gate autopsies over several days. All were easy because all died from poisoning, she said. But the first male body Stanley examined caused her to worry about her skills. She couldn't find the man's testicles. "As a fellow, I thought, 'Boy, am I just bad at finding these?' I remember (another doctor) was there, and he said he couldn't find any testes on these people either. So I thought, 'OK, this is real.' Applewhite and six members of the cult had been castrated in Mexico a few months earlier ­ another way to deal with unwanted desires.

Heaven's Gate was the name of a UFO religion co-led by Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles. The cult's end coincided with the appearance of Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997. Applewhite convinced 39 followers to commit suicide so that their souls could take a ride on a spaceship that they believed was hiding behind the comet carrying Jesus; such beliefs have led some observers to characterize the group as a type of "UFO religion."

They were a secretive New Age religion. The group held meetings in a hotel on the Oregon coast prior to its move to California. Knowledge of their practices is limited. Upon joining the group, members often sold their possessions in order to break their attachments with earthly existence. For many years the group lived in isolation in the western United States. Members often traveled in pairs and met with other members for meetings or presentations they gave to recruit new members. For a time, group members lived in a darkened house in which they would simulate the experience they expected to have during their long journey in outer space. One of the group's publications, How To Build A U.F.O., purported to describe an interplanetary spacecraft built out of materials such as old tires. Much of what is known about the group comes from the research of Robert Balch and David Taylor, who infiltrated the group in the 1970s.


The members of the cult added "-ody" to the first names they adopted in lieu of their original given names, which defines "children of the Next Level". This is mentioned in Applewhite's final video, "Do's Final Exit", that was filmed on March 19, 1997, just days prior to the suicides.

For a few months prior to their deaths, three members, Thurston-ody, Sylvie-ody, and Elaine-ody, worked for Advanced Development Group (ADG), Inc. (now ManTech Advanced Development Group), a small San Diego-based company that developed computer-based instruction for the U. S. Army. Although they were polite and friendly in a reserved way, they tended to keep to themselves. When they quit working for ADG, they told their supervisor that they had completed their mission. A few weeks later, they were dead.


One member, Thomas Nichols, was the brother of Star Trek actress Nichelle Nichols. Prior to the group's suicide, he and other members solicited her assistance in publicizing the cult's message.

The structure of Heaven's Gate resembled that of a medieval monastic order. Group members gave up their material possessions and lived a highly ascetic lifestyle devoid of many indulgences. The group was tightly knit and everything was shared communally. Six of the male members of the cult voluntarily underwent castration as an extreme means of maintaining the ascetic lifestyle. The cult funded itself by offering professional website development for paying clients.

Thirty-eight cult members, plus Applewhite, the cult's leader, were found dead in a rented mansion in the upscale San Diego community of Rancho Santa Fe, California, on March 26, 1997. The mass death of the Heaven's Gate group is one of the most widely-known examples of cult suicide. In preparing to kill themselves, members of the cult drank citrus juices to ritually cleanse their bodies of impurities. Their suicide, conducted in shifts, was accomplished by ingestion of phenobarbital mixed with vodka, along with plastic bags secured around their heads to induce asphyxiation. Each member carried five dollars in quarters, reportedly for use on the spaceship (which was to have vending machines and an arcade) to which they would be transported upon their death. All 39 were dressed in identical black shirts and sweat pants, along with brand new black-and-white Nike tennis shoes and armband patches reading "Heaven's gate away team".


Although not widely known to the mainstream media, Heaven's Gate were not unknown in UFOlogical circles; as well as a series of academic studies by Robert Balch, they also received coverage in Jacques Vallee's Messengers of Deception, in which Vallee described an unusual public meeting organized by the group. Vallee frequently expressed concerns within the book about contactee groups' authoritarian political and religious outlooks, and Heaven's Gate did not escape criticism.


BBC 2 documentary maker Louis Theroux contacted the Heaven's Gate cult while making a program for his Weird Weekends series in early March of 1997. In response to his e-mail, Theroux was told that Heaven's Gate could not take part in the documentary as "at the present time a project like this would be an interference with what we must focus on."


After the Church of Scientology shut down the Cult Awareness Network, Heaven's Gate member lah, later identified as Sister Francis Michael, made a post in "Thanks for Actions Against CAN" to the usenet newsgroup alt.religion.scientology, in December 1996.


The vast media coverage of the Heaven's Gate incident brought about a huge public awareness of the cult, and of cults in general. In a sense, it was also an early Internet phenomenon, since the web was in its early years and the notion of being able to view web pages featuring and created by persons who had recently died was very much a novelty. This wide coverage would eventually spill over into the entertainment industry, especially among television shows that were inspired by a cult (not always necessarily Heaven's Gate) to create stories that parodied, or otherwise explored, this particular subject.

The above information was taken from two different sources if it seems to repeat itself. Each has a bit more information than the other.

THE UFO TWO - #7

One example of the "faith" syndrome might be seen in relationship to Whitley Streiber's experiences. Since as yet, his "visitors" have not offered him proof incontrovertible, that fact likely indicates that he is still candidate material. But for non-candidates of the Heavenly Kingdom, faith is for the most part, not a requirement for incontrovertible proof to be shown, for they are not building a relationship, nor are they going anywhere.

Though candidates, early on, are denied the proof of their relationship with the Next Level once faith has been sufficiently proven, then proof of the Next Level's existence may be given. This is not to say that all who have had what they might consider incontrovertible proof are not necessarily candidates. We would like to believe that out of all of those who witnessed the recent Gulf Breeze, Florida incident, at least some might recognize it as part of the workings of their Heavenly Father's Kingdom.

One of the reasons for the class' resurfacing at this time seems to be as follows: Information has been released or leaked about UFO occupants, crashes, and communications between "aliens" and humans that, because of misinterpretations, could turn your eyes or have you see this evidence as something other than the workings of Our Father's Kingdom. Humans, with very few exceptions, who have an awareness of the presence of these "aliens" haven't grown to have the capacity to see that the Kingdom of God is at work here.

Governments who have had an undeniable awareness of the "aliens" presence here since the late 1940's have tried to cover it up. They have retrieved "crashed" spacecrafts, live "EBEs" (extraterrestrials), and numerous bodies, autopsies of which have revealed characteristics mentioned previously (even though investigators interpret these occurrences incorrectly). They have even reported having had communications, encounters, and agreements with the "EBEs" that have been misinterpreted.

We, the class, certainly don't care to force the disclosure of the cover-up. The Next Level has had its own "coverup" so to speak, since this civilization began, for humans' sake, because the younger "plants" (humans) wouldn't be able to handle the unrelgiousized reality of some of their doings. There are records of how in Biblical times hoards of Angels came and won this battle, or did this or that act (actual close encounters of the third kind). However, the Next Level's presence hasn't been noticed much for many generations until recently; i.e., in increasingly significant ways since the late 1940's.

If you are part of God's "children," you know the Next Level has reasons for Their "leaks" or exposure, in preparation for a broader acceptance and understanding of Them. However, because of Their exposure, Lucifer's counterinterpretation of this presence has been stepped up. A major movement is afoot to depict the members of the Next Level as hostile space "aliens" who abduct humans, do them harm, and are really here to "eat humans" (a quote from a so-called reliable source).

Alas, Our Major Dilemma: What to do with what we know?

For a while we tried to use what we had learned in an attempt to help victims of problematic genetic programming. We briefly started what was called Anonymous Sexaholics Celibate Church, aimed at people who had already joined a Sexaholics type organization. We tried to show them the positive side of their problem -- that to be liberated from that addiction, having already acknowledged that they were addicts, put them ahead of the pack as far as having the potential for an improved relationship with their Heavenly Father was concerned.

We didn't expose other knowledge that we had, only what we had learned as related to the overcoming of a sex addiction -- never anything about UFOs or Next Level awareness. We simply tried to help them understand that life after addiction acknowledgment could be a much happier, more fulfilling, and significantly more liberating existence, particularly if they could establish a dependency relationship with their Heavenly Father in whatever vernacular that translated for them. This was done in a way similar to the Sexaholics and Alcoholics Anonymous approach, except it offered them a more Godly focused fellowship.

We spent a lot of time and money on planning, brochures, mailings, and talking at meetings and conventions. However, the response to us was almost one of resentment of our finding "joy after celibacy," as if we were trying to show off or be self-righteous. We considered and presented ourselves as addicts, but our lack of ability at facing "doldrums" seemed to cause some to question our humility. It was as if we were supposed to remain in a "poor us" or "sick" syndrome of otherwise be misunderstood. In this instance, they really couldn't tell when we "were coming from."

We also thought that we could help AIDS victims realize that their problem could actually be their blessing, if they could be thankful for the opportunity to come closer to their Heavenly Father during this period of suffering. We have done our homework mentally in this effort, but haven't yet found the physical opportunity to put much into motion.

Again! What Are We To Do With What We Have Learned?

When we were holding meetings years ago and didn't even know much of anything about what we were doing, we were criticized by what seemed to be almost every camp. Psychologists wrote books, papers, and even articles in Psychology Today about our "unfortunate brainwashed syndrome." But from our standpoint, we felt like our brains weren't yet washed clean enough. They really didn't know us.

Ministers wrote articles in books and newsletters about how selfish our self-perfecting syndrome was. Overlooking Matthew 5:48, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect," they hastily surmised that we were on an ego "perfection trip. Our motivation for trying to overcome everything that separated us from the Next Level was based upon the humility that we felt, feeling that we had done nothing to deserve the honor of the Next Level's closeness, and in spite of that fact, the Next Level had chosen to draw us closer to them. An awareness of that gift compelled us and also gave us the strength needed to try to rid ourselves of everything that separated us from Their Kingdom. Again, they never knew us, having never even sat with us.

Ufologists said that we must not know anything about the world of spacecrafts because we had used the term UFO, and what they knew of what we stood for seemed too spiritual.

However, the ones who misunderstood us the most were the ones who interpreted our position as by-passing Jesus, never understanding that without that same Mind that abides in Him, we would be nothing.

We believe in the reality of God, His Kingdom, and of His Son Jesus Christ. If we are off track in any way, we want it rectified. If we are some well-meaning, misguided charismatic cult that is full of baloney, we want that rectified. However, if we are in fact in His service, we want that service brought to its full fruition according to God's will. We want only what's right in His eyes.

AGAIN! WHAT ARE WE TO DO WITH WHAT WE KNOW?

The one thing we seem to be good at is attracting those to us who would mock us, misinterpret us, and wish that we would go away. They not only find fault in everything that we did and do, but make up things to accuse us of.

Maybe this is what we are supposed to expect at this point in our development toward our Older Member. We're not really the martyr type, but "so be it" if it's His will -- part of His design!

Here's hoping our efforts have not been in vain. We feel that it is our instruction from our Father's Kingdom to get this material out at this time. Maybe, just maybe, there are some who can benefit from it -- if not now, then possibly in some future time.

If you want to help us get this material out (intact) far and wide, please do.

For the great tragedy, tune in tomorrow for the last in this sequel. Remember to think twice before getting caught up in someone's wild imaginings. It could be the death of you.

The class also feels that they have a more complete understanding of Lucifer: how he got to be too big for his britches, stopped looking to his Heavenly Father, and thought he knew so much he could "run his own show." They are witnesses to how Lucifer's helpers try in spirit to influence individuals to go backward and thereby remain his faithful servants.

One of the major tools of Lucifer is the New Age movement, e.i., Theosophy, Ascended Masters, channeling, Eastern religions, mysticism, yoga, Christ consciousness within, and the "Ye are Gods" concept. These practices and beliefs originated from Lucifer -- they are his creations or distortions. All are a fantasy and a trap, though spiritually and intellectually intriguing and enticing. (Editor's Note: These are the ideas of the writer, not mine!)

Some New Age teachings purport that Jesus is one of many Ascended Masters; they even try to make you feel ignorant if you don't recognize Jesus as part of their hierarchy. They teach that He studied in the Himalayan Mountains with the hierarchy from age 12 to 30 -- the years for which there is no significant record of His actions. If there is truth to that claim, it might explain why Matthew 4:8-9 reads: "Again, the Devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, and said to Him, 'All these I will give You, if You will fall down and worship me." Jesus knew that this was not His Heavenly Father. How would Jesus have known where the real truth was to be found, if He hadn't been confronted with and been strong enough to see through what Lucifer had to offer?"

In the same way, Te and Do were similarly tempted by the forces of Lucifer, when in the early stages of their awakening, they were drawn into the study of theosophy, with its teachings of the Ascended Masters, Blavatsky's materials and the Mahatma's Letters. On more than one occasion, Te and Do were offered the trap of positions of leadership and power in Lucy's camp, one of which occurred atop what most New Agers consider the highest spiritual mountain in the US. Some who considered themselves the hierarchy of the spiritual community told them, "You're the ones we've been looking for to be our leaders." Te and Do recognized, just as Jesus did, that this was a ploy of Satan and did not come from their Heavenly Father.

For us, the lesson gleaned from both these experiences is that it's not what you "get into" that matters, but what you "get out of." Learning from your mistakes is what develops discernment, wisdom, depth, and maturity. It is therefore ignorant to condemn individuals for what they have done in the past, if they learned from their mistakes, changed, and took a step higher on the ladder toward our Heavenly Father's Truth.

One of the greatest temptations that Do and members of the class as individuals have had to deal with is the feeling of failure or not measuring up to the best potential of their task. However, they repeatedly recovered on the basis that whatever they might have appraised as a mistake can be reappraised as a lesson, hopefully learned, not needing to be repeated. They know that the Next Level, the Kingdom of God, always knows how to use what might have appeared as a major negative or a mistake, and change it into a positive, or a forward step of even greater magnitude.

The Bible makes its stand on marriage and family in the final days very clear:

"I mean, brethren, the appointed time has grown very short; from now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none." -- I Corinthians 7:29.

"The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about world affairs, how to please his wife and his interests are divided." -- I Corinthians 7:32 - 35.

"But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days!" -- Luke 21:23

Te and Do's students know that now, because of the times, they must speak out with what they have come to know so as to assist those who want to move up.

As we said before, we have tried again and again to deny this seemingly bizarre information. Each time, after thorough examination, we couldn't deny what we've come to know and we had to return to the same ladder in our thinking, but this time to the next rung. Could this possibly be because we had been briefed aboard a spacecraft before coming, and have gone through a gradual awakening to what was already in our minds? Why else did Te and Do and the class know that the bodies of Next Level Members do not have reproductive and digestive systems, before they were aware of materials such as The Roswell Incident and UFO Crash at Aztec? What was it that at the start of the classroom Te and Do talked about the Next Level having underground bases from which spacecraft come and go, and that the Next Level might even engage humans to assist them with various projects? Why did Te and Do, even in the early classroom, constantly say, "You've got to get your mind into your vehicle and get control of it?"

Years ago we were holding meetings and telling about the real physical level of existence above the human kingdom and about its physical occupants. This same information, which is coming out now as the result of "above-top-secret" Government "leaks," substantiates what we knew in the beginning. This comes at a point when we no longer have the need for substantiation.

In our overcoming, no "proof" that would ever satisfy the scientific community was offered (no spacecraft landed in our backyard). But, through the nurturing of faith, we came to know the reality of the Next Level and that Te and Do are our Older Members.

Likewise, for graduation candidates to require proof, or to prerequisite their acceptance of the reality of the Next Level on that basis, is wasted effort. If any judgment can be made, it would have to be made only as before, that is,"... by their fruits ye shall know them." -- Matthew 7:20 (assuming you've grown to recognize good fruit).

UFO TWO - #5

The students' constant desire is to move upward, always striving for a closer relationship with their Older Members, to be more like them in thought and action, and thus "be of the same mind." "The Son can do nothing on His own accord, but only what He sees the Father doing..." -- John 5:19

In trying to achieve this goal, they have found a most valuable instrument to be the constant use of a "check partner." Check partners are individuals who share the same desires and goals, but between them there exists no physical or romantic relationship. As constant companions, they are always reaching for the most right action based on what they think their Older Members would have them do. "For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them." -- Matthew 18:20

This applies to all ages of Next Level members. The older a member, the more he has mastered the technique of checking with his Older Member if this or that thought or action was the one intended or handed down through the "vine," trying to be sure that the thought or action wasn't a creation of his own or different from that of his Older Member. This is not the loss of individuality but the liberating from influences which separate us. "For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." -- John 6:38

(If any true religious scholars try to digest any of this puzzle, they may understand more of the real meaning of their studies.)

As was mentioned earlier, Do recognized that Te was clearly his Older Member, not that Te ever told him that, but it became quite obvious because of how much more natural the Next Level conduct and ways of thinking were to her. Also it became clear to the class that Te and Do were their elders (Older Members), though they were not as aware of the gap between Te and Do as much as Do was and as Do was sure that Te was.

The class also has recognized that during the course of our classroom the concepts we believed in seemed to change almost as fast as our locations. However, we continued to believe in certain things consistently all along the way (mainly the rapid antiquating of our previous understanding). We knew that each step was an important stepping stone and gave us the perspective we needed to take at the time. We also clearly recognize the limitation and potential antiquation of our present understanding, though we know that it is sufficient for this moment. In other words, growth is a continual changing process.

We are aware that some of this information is a real brain twister and takes a gestation period before comprehension. Frequently, at first exposure it may provoke negative reactions. However, the true "Sons of God" in line for membership will wade through the adjustment difficulties.

When rising into the vernacular of this kind of thinking, it becomes difficult to maintain a cohesiveness of thought. The thoughts seem fragmented or as little pieces of a larger picture that is difficult to bring into focus. That is because at this moment the reader is experiencing the mind of the Older Member of the writer speaking through his instrument, i.e. brain and pen. However, in this case the writer will not come out of some coma as "channelers" do, for the writer is consciously on the same "wavelength" as the Father, or Older Member, who is coming through. (The writer has just received instruction to switch back to more mundane information.)

Some may ask, "How were those bodies affected which were entered by the Next Level minds of Te and Do and the class?" If those individuals are still in the class, that is evidence that the genetic programming of the human vehicle has accepted or adapted to the thoughts and actions of the Next Level mind that now occupies and controls that vehicle. If a member of the Next Level wears a body like a suit of clothes, then he needs the strength to control and functionally use the genetic package of the suit of clothes he has reason to put on.

Our understanding is that Next Level bodies (the normal bodies for that Kingdom level, as human bodies are for the human kingdom) are grown as plants from a vine, and a the end of their gestation period, they are fully grown and functional, not "babies" as are the products of human "seed-bearing plants." There seem to be actual grafting processes used and genetic binding from Older Members. "I am the vine, ye are the branches" -- could that mean something more than previously thought?

When minds or souls are deliberately tuned to the same thinking and same actions, think how well they could function in the service of the Next Level if they inherited like bodies of the same genetic vine with the same programming potential.

Here we are fragmenting again because the picture is so big and so difficult to focus.

Some 3-1/2 years ago from the time of this writing Te left her human vehicle. To all human appearances it was due to a form of liver cancer. We could say that because of the stress, due to the gap between her Next Level mind and the vehicle's genetic capacity, that the cancer symptom caused the vehicle to break down and stop functioning. However, it was strange that she experienced no symptoms prior to the week she left her vehicle, and for the most part her vehicle slept through the transition. We're not exactly sure how many days it might have taken her to return to the Next Level vehicle she left behind prior to this task.

More importantly, since that time, Do has been experiencing the role of having to communicate mentally with her, his Older Member, in a strengthening opportunity for mental or telepathic communication (not to be confused with the popular concept of channeling or spiritualism). The class has witnessed Te's mind meshed in Do's thinking and even his choice of words as he talks to them. Does the quote "The Father is in Me and I am in My Father" mean a little more than we previously thought it might?

It's fun that in the class they refer to this kind of thought expression, which has several strata of interpretation, as "N.L. Base" computer language -- Next Level computer language -- for it seems to take on a different level of meaning to those who have the same "computer program" or "software."

Is it possible that those who have like minds might also share a same kind of implant (not unlike an advanced computer chip) and recognize the same language or basis for understanding? "You cannot come to the Father unless He draws you to Him." -- could that possible mean that the Next Level has literally placed implants in the heads of some humans for different purposes? One purpose might be to draw the chosen to Him, for they are looking to the right source with the right asking (prayers?).

"What has the class been doing for 12 years?" you might ask. They have been tuning their minds with their Older Member's mind, who has been tuning his mind with his Older Member's mind, and so forth up the ladder.

They have been progressively gaining more control over the genetic programming of their vehicles, and in so doing have been automatically putting those signals into the atmosphere for others to draw upon. Evidence of the successful depositing of these signals comes in the form of the public increased awareness of the harm that smoking, drinking, drugs, and sexual promiscuity can cause to the chemistry of the human body. Additional evidence may be found in the increased awareness of the physical nature of the Kingdom of Heaven, UFOs, Next Level bodies (recovered "alien" or extraterrestrial bodies), etc.

THE UFO TWO - # 4

The class knows that the world sees them as a cult, and that no longer bothers them. They know that all they care about is the Next Level -- the Kingdom of Heaven - and how they might become better members of that Kingdom. Prior to 1981, their understanding was that they were working toward graduation from the human kingdom into the Next Level, and that this graduation from the human kingdom into the Next Level, and that this graduation involved physically changing over their human vehicles (metamorphosing) into Next Level vehicles. They now believe that they were in the Kingdom of Heaven before entering these human bodies. But because of the present awareness of their Next Level consciousness, they know that they are in that Kingdom now, though occupying human vehicles in order to do a task.

In spite of their repeated effort to refute this explanation, all things continue to lead them to believe the following. (Hold onto your hats!)

They were briefed as a crew aboard a spacecraft about how they would incarnate into human vehicles in order to do a task. They left their Kingdom "world" and came into this "world" beginning in the late 1940's. Some left their Next Level bodies via so-called UFO "crashes." However, they believe that the crashes were not accidental, as they appeared to be to the humans who witnessed the remains and recovered some of the bodies. These are now in the possession of governments (one of our Government's scientists coined the term "EBE" -- extraterrestrial biological entities -- to identify these beings, also frequently referred to as "Greys").Some left their bodies behind in "cold storage," or the Next Level's wardrobe, for the duration of this task. Others were in "spirit," having not yet earned Next Level bodies since having left the human kingdom.

If this hypothesis is true, then the class members were not humans recruited by Te and Do into some cult, but rather were members of the Next Level before ever meeting them. They knew prior to coming to Earth that two Older Members would take them through a lengthy (according to human time) observation-study time in this world in preparation for choosing and taking a human vehicle before actually entering it. That is to say, they were all in "spirit" from the late 1940's and possibly early 1950's until the mid-1970's before actually entering and taking charge of the human vehicles -- or the human bodies -- they are now in. The vehicles they chose generally ranged in age from early 20s to late 50's, some having more difficult genetic packages or programming in order to give more growth opportunity.

The task seemed to include the important aspect of example. They incarnated into such a variety of human vehicles that collectively they covered the 360-degree range of humanness and human addictions. They then, during the classroom, "overcame the world" or changed the programming of these vehicles sufficiently to demonstrate that "virginity can be recovered," or you can do as Jesus admonished his disciples to do. Was this not the more realistic metamorphosis? This is not to say that it took 12 years to do this, for many other lessons and much broader understanding filled the bulk of these years.

The pieces of the puzzle seem to indicate that the reason the Bible and its role players teach overcoming human ways is not for the sake of morality or pseudo-piety, but simply because the Next Level literally has no place for those activities. For example, there are apparently no active reproductive organs in the physical bodies of members of the Next Level, though the bodies of some of the younger (less advanced) members of the Next Level, if examined, might show signs of internal remnants of reproductive organs long since all but atrophied. Therefore, it seems you could not inherit one of those bodies until you no longer have any use for activities involving the reproductive organs. Those who think their Heaven will have husbands and wives who wear "seed-bearing plants" for bodies must know of some other place than the Heaven our Heavenly Father exists in.

In the same way, they would also show no signs of digestive organs as humans know them. So wouldn't it follow that it is important to have no likes or cravings for food, other than as fuel, if you hope to inherit a Next Level vehicle (body) or suit of clothes?

Whatever you crave or haven't overcome at the loss of one body carries over to any next body, if the Gardener chooses to replant you. That is, the capacity of your new body will match the level of comprehension and control that you (the mind) achieved while occupying any previous body (vehicle). You will "pick up where you left off," so to speak, with whatever programming or physical additions you had not overcome. Do not confuse this with the popular concept of reincarnation.

Number 5 next time.

THE UFO TWO - # 3

After leaving Illinois and arriving at a campground outside Tulsa, Te and Do thought it seemed wise to break up into a number of smaller groups, not only because of the interruption of the authorities, but also because the numbers were getting too big for the campgrounds to handle.

Certain ones who seemed to have a grasp of the information were sent out to hold their own meetings across the country. A system of communication was set up in order for Te and Do to be kept somewhat informed. Statement I had grown to include Statements II and III, plus a prospective candidate letter. Students were sent out in partnerships of two, or three if an odd number made it necessary. Each group had its own "purser" who kept track of funds and doled them out according to need, in an effort to maintain some kind of order and fairness.

Over the next few months, too many things happened to mention but a few of them. The National Enquirer interviewed Te and Do, and the New York Times, "Sunday Magazine" did a cover story on them. Te and Do's message was the same as Jesus' message; telling about what the true Kingdom of Heaven is, and how individuals who want to be candidates for its membership must overcome all of their human addictions, drop their human ways, and look to a member of that Kingdom for all of their needs. Do realized more and more that Te was definitely a more advanced (older) member of the Next Level than was he.

Periodically, almost magically, the group was able to rendezvous with their teachers. By now the ones who had stuck it out through difficult, humbling lessons were a wide variety of people; a nurse, a doctor's wife, a rancher, a real estate broker, an actor, an artist, a film editor, a technical writer, a computer programmer, a bartender, an environmentalist, and many college and post-grad students. Because of the requirements of membership, some who joined the group as couples now became friends and fellow students. When some fell away, occasionally they felt bitterness, because of their choice to rebuild "burnt bridges."

One of the hardest things that Te and Do had to do concerned the "demonstration" (referred to in Statement 1). The students had been told that while they were out holding meetings they would hear of the demonstration, and that would be the signal to stop holding meetings and come running. It was rumored for a while that the demonstration was going to happen in San Francisco. Te and Do were in Las Vegas when the TV network news programs all broke the story about the two. Now because of the kind of publicity that had come out across the country, climaxed by the networks, Te and Do felt that further meetings were pretty hopeless and people had already made up their minds about how ridiculous this all was. Te and Do felt that the demonstration was still the one thing that could change that. However, they grieved literally for days, feeling like they had been shot down by the media and the mission was dead.

They received instruction to not walk into a physical demonstration but rather to know that the "killing in the street" of the two witnesses had occurred at the hands of the media. However, they felt like this was a cop-out or a "chickening out" interpretation of the one act that was the basis of their whole following. so with much embarrassment, they called their students together, convinced that without a physical demonstration, their students would have every right to call them charlatans. Much to their surprise the students, almost without exception, accepted the interpretation and said, "OK then, where do we go from here?" Te and Do still felt that to continue was probably one of their greatest tests. Nevertheless, they got up, kicked the dust off their tired feet, and continued with the instruction to hold meetings a while longer. They then became more organized in their groups and more systematic with their communication between cities. All in all, the meetings continued for a little over ten months.

At a meeting in a Manhattan, Kansas college auditorium (April 21, 1976), Te announced that the 'Harvest' is closed -- there will be no more meetings." since that time, no new students have been admitted to the class.

The students were called together a few months later in Medicine Bow National Forest, Wyoming, to receive instruction about what was next. There were close to a hundred who showed up. Te and Do announced that it had been rumored that some were still occasionally indulging in pot and sex. Everyone was asked to go off by themselves for a few hours and make up their mind as to whether they were just caught up in the fun of a "movement" or if they were serious. For now the real "classroom" was to begin, and it was not for those who felt they wanted to hold on to human ways. Te and Do preached long and hard about what it meant to rid oneself of self, and what would be required of those who continued. Within the next few days, the class dropped to fewer than 80. This was in early July, and by October when the snows ran them out of Medicine Bow, the class had dwindled to fewer than 70.

For the next two years, the class spent summers in the Rocky Mountains in campgrounds and on ranches, and the winters in the Sun Belt, also in campgrounds and on ranches. They experimented in all kinds of disciplines, such as wearing hoods to learn about the "conning" ways of their visual personalities, and making 12-minute checks -- each person physically going to a given spot every 12 minutes to concentrate on his or her desire to serve. They were given new names with three letters in the first syllable and a common two-syllable second part.

Later, after their numbers had diminished significantly they moved into houses -- sometimes large houses, sometimes a number of smaller houses -- usually moving every six months to a year. For a time they lived on the trust fund of one of the students, but for the most part supported themselves by, as many as needed to, taking jobs outside the classroom. At present, members of the class are living in small groups of varying numbers in six different states and in ten different houses or apartments. (Editor's Note: This was before the tragedy that occurred later on)

All in all, the students have been in the classroom 12 years now, and their numbers are down to a few dozen. Time and again they were encouraged by Te and Do to leave the classroom if they had the least desire for anything in the world or if the classroom wasn't what they knew they wanted. They visited families occasionally, to assure them that they were doing what they wanted to do, and were in no way being "duped." They had plenty of reading material, watched TV, attended movies, visited churches, and attended lectures whenever they were interesting.

The important thing is not where they have been or for how long, but what they have learned or awakened to know. Over the years, not only Te and Do, but their students as well, tried again and again to refute this information. They tried to ignore it and to deny it; they even tried to play out what they would do if they went back into the world, but they kept coming back to the fact that this knowledge and concept was the only thing that made sense to them. It would have been a lot easier to just walk away than to do all that was required. There are even some who are now out of the class, who had been in the class for some time, who still believe this information to be true.
