Ashtar: Acknowledgement of Our Presence Need not Take Months … Only Minutes

2012 AUGUST 14

Posted by Steve Beckow

Ashtar explained to us on Aug. 13 the various coalitions that make up the galactic presence around the Earth at the moment, the plans for the decloaking of large motherships in the night sky, the containment of world leaders and its impact on global society, politics, and finances, how the galactics go about deliberating on issues like secrecy, and many other matters that assist us to know how our star brothers and sisters work with us and what they are doing on our behalf at the present time.

Definitely a very informative interview. Thanks to Ellen for a record turnaround.

An Hour with an Angel with Ashtar, August 13, 2012

Graham Dewyea: Hello, and welcome to An Hour with an Angel, with Linda Dillon, the channel for the Council of Love and author of The Great Awakening, and Steve Beckow of the 2012 Scenario. I’m Graham Dewyea.

Our guest today is Commander Ashtar. So, with that, I’ll pass it on to you, Steve.

Steve Beckow: Thank you very much, Graham. And welcome to our show, Ashtar, as always.

Ashtar: It is all my joy to be here, and to join with you yet again. So yes, and I do prefer — simply call me Ashtar.

SB: Thank you, Ashtar. Before we begin, I’d like to ask you two initial questions. The first is why the galactics chose not to appear during the closing ceremonies of the Olympics, and the second is to tell us anything you can about the alleged 150-mile-wide Andromedan ship that is supposedly visible in the southwestern skies of the Pacific coast of North America and over Australia.

A: We did not choose to interfere or to make our presence known in any way in a showy kind of fashion during the Olympics. Our presence was noted on several occasions, but it was not to interfere with what is considered to be a global event of great joy in which many take huge delight, and it was not a situation where we felt that our presence would be welcomed. So it really is as simple as that.

SB: All right.

A: Was it an opportunity where we could let our fullness of our presence be known? Yes. But it would not be viewed as welcoming or unoffensive or neighborly. It would have been considered as interfering in a closing event where a great deal of effort and a number of people have gone to great trials to make it a pretty event. And so that is why we have chosen not to display, or “show up,” as you have called it.

SB: Okay. And the 150-mile-wide Andromedan ship — can you tell us something about that, please?

A: It is a lovely ship. And yes, it is making its presence known, as are many different ships, actually. So it is visible not only to those in Australia and the Pacific, it is being seen in various places. And there are a number of ships of that size that will be showing up in your night sky so that people are getting used to the idea, more used to the idea.

There are a number of very large ships that are making their presence known, part of the various fleets that are being positioned around the Earth, around Gaia, around your globe, so that the presence of objects, shall we say, in the night sky is becoming more apparent. So it is simply part of a very subtle reality that we are introducing into people’s consciousness.

SB: And can you tell us where people might look to see these other ships that will be positioned?

A: On the east coast, you can look towards the east, northeast sky between twelve and one o’clock, and you will see what appears to be like an egg-shaped ship, white in color — again, another Andromedan vessel. And it is … if you are thinking about looking at the sky as a clock, it would be about ten or eleven o’clock.

In the midwest, it is directly, what you would think of, overhead. This is a ship of the intergalactic fleet. There are a number of them also appearing. This one tends to have a bluish hue, and the positioning is more early in the evening, so that you cannot mistake it, though, for the evening star or the early stars of evening. But it is directly overhead as if you have to tip your head back. If you were in Kansas or Iowa it would be a matter of looking directly overhead in the early hours of the evening. You do not have to wait towards the midnight sky.

If you are in the southern hemisphere you are already witnessing the Andromedan ships as well. And there is a number of increases simply in the number of ships that are de-cloaked or making themselves available to be spotted by the naked eye, not the size of these massive vessels, but certainly very clearly visible, particularly what you think of as red … rainbow ships — red, green, blue, yellow — as well as the egg shaped.

And we emphasize that because it looks tubular, but it is curved on the ends. So it is as if you have an egg on its side, not up and down.

So, we are doing this as part of our mission and purpose, to simply show up more clearly for people to become acclimatized, and to do so in a way that is not fearful, simply to notice what is there and what has never been seen or observed before.

SB: All right. Thank you. We have four and a half months left to go before Ascension. Many people are wondering what can be achieved in so short a period? Can you discuss Disclosure from this vantage point, Ashtar?

A: Well, Disclosure as you know it and as I have spoken about it, both through this channel and other channels, has already begun. And what you are seeing in the night sky, and some of you even in the daylight sky, and what you will be seeing in the daylight sky, is becoming more and more undeniable.

There is agreement both on our side and with you, with what you think of as your political leaders, that the appearance of the ships and the acknowledgment — which is far more important than the appearance of any ships, by the way — it is the acknowledgment of our presence and the acknowledgment of our presence in a peaceful, collegial, helpful way. That type of acknowledgment only takes a few minutes, you know. And it is being done in a variety of ways.

But also know that once that has taken place, then your entire planet, your entire collective psyche, your understanding of how things work and your position within the universe and within the planet, begins to shift. It does not take months, and it most certainly does not take years.

And we know that we try to not give you any false expectations. But we have full anticipation, let us put it that way, that it will happen, still, within the summer months, within the height of summer.

SB: All right. Before turning to really what is the main topic of the show, I’d like to ask you one more question just to clarify some things. I think people are … some people wonder exactly what coalitions are here — and I expect there are a large number, but perhaps we could restrict ourselves to the major coalitions.

The Galactic Federation is here, the Ashtar Command, the United Forces of the Outer Galaxies. Can you tell us what the relationships are among those? For instance, is the Ashtar Command part of the Galactic Federation of Light?

A: Yes. It is.

SB: So what distinguishes the Ashtar Command from the GFOL generally?

A: Well, I would like to say that it is me, but I do not think that that would be acceptable to my colleagues, at all!

I have been called an impetuous young man by some [Steve: by the Divine Mother, actually], but in fact that is not my way at all. I am very much the shepherd and the peacekeeper. We are colleagues, we are allies. And what you don’t tend to think of is that we are friends. In many cases there is a lineage and a connection in terms of how we have traveled and emanated throughout the universe.

So it is a very cooperative relationships. It is not what some think, that one is doing something and the other is not aware of it. That is simply not the case at all. We are a very cohesive alliance. And within that, of course, there are alliances.

So, the Ashtar Command, as you think of it, is an arm, or a fleet. As you know there are millions of ships — no, not all directly above your planet, but certainly in circulation very close by. And so there is a great deal of logistics that need to be worked on between the intergalactics and the Galactic Federation of Light. And my command is part and parcel of that.

We tend to work as an independent arm because we have our own mission and purpose. And our mission and purpose is very specifically working with Disclosure and working with the arrival of many forces — what we would call forces — upon the planet of Earth, and beginning that process of cohabitation, of collegiality, of exchange, of technological upgrades.

But do not think that we are not all working together. That simply would be a grave misunderstanding.

SB: Okay. Thank you …

A: And you have pretty much covered it. Those are the umbrella groups, you know. The Intergalactics, the Unified Forces of the Outer Galaxies, the Galactic Federation of Light, and yes, my command.

SB: Now, is …. some people say that the Galactic Federation and the Galactic Federation of Light are different. Is that the case?

A: Yes. But it is … it is a distinction that we make, but you don’t need to.

SB: All right. Can you explain that, please?

A: You have a situation on Earth where you would have various arms of your … your exploratory forces. So, for example, you would have Marines that work with the Navy. Well, the Galactic Federation works with the Galactic Federation of Light. So think of it as a … an arm that is working cooperatively but is independent in terms of their organization, their directive, their mission and purpose.

SB: All right. And you mention galactics and intergalactics. Can you explain to us what the difference is between the two, please?

SB: It is very simple. It is just a matter of distance. It is just a matter of how far you’ve come, and what the allegiance and the experience has been. Understand, we have gathered from all over the multiverse, and some of us have arrived independently, long ago. But that does not mean that we were not aware of each other’s desire to come and to be part of this unfoldment of your planet.

So it is more a distinction of how far, rather than anything else.

SB: And when you say “how far,” do you mean from Earth?

A: Yes, that is correct.

SB: All right. Thank you. And ….

A: And from which dimensions, and from which universes.

SB: That’s another full show, Ashtar, I’m sure. Can you tell us just a little bit about the Unified Forces of the Outer Galaxies?  I don’t think anyone apart from people who’ve heard about Grener know about them. It says “the outer galaxies.” Outer galaxies in relationship to what? Where are they from, Ashtar?

A: The outer galaxies are what you think of as the very distant reaches of the universe. So very often what is happening, although there are a great deal of Pleiadian energy on the Unified Forces of the Outer Galaxies as well, but their recruits and families and their forces have been gathered from many planets and systems that you are not aware of, such as [Zeres?], or CCC, planets that are not really readily known to the people of Earth.

SB: Okay. Thank you. Now perhaps we can turn to the main topic of the show.

Our star brothers and sisters who are here around the Earth come from many dimensions and, as you say, many universes and think in ways that are different to us. It’s important for us to know how you think about situations and problems.

So I wanted to take an issue to illustrate how you think. And the issue I chose was the need for secrecy. There is often said to be a need to not discuss some subjects. I could have chosen another area, but this one seemed to promise to show us how our star brothers and sisters deliberate.

May I ask you some questions on the need for secrecy?

A: Yes, absolutely. I would be very pleased to discuss this, or any other issue that you would wish to bring forward.

SB: Thanks. All right. What matters generally do the galactics feel they need to keep secret, and why? And you’re not allowed to respond that it’s a secret.

SB: [laugh] Oh, but you cannot restrict what I say or do not say, my dear friend!

SB: That’s true! [laugh]

A: However, I will not say it is a secret. But you know what? There are things that we choose not to discuss. But let us do this in the spirit of cooperation, and the spirit of cooperation that we will still be understanding to your listeners and to your sweet self as well.

First of all, we don’t tend to think of much information as secret. So that is a premise that we want you to keep in the forefront of your head as we discuss this.

There are things that we do not discuss with the humans simply because you might not understand it. Now, I do not say this in any way that is derogatory, but there are simply ways in which we operate, such as technology, that is so far beyond what is currently available to you that you would not understand it.

But now you talk about secrecy, and really what you are saying is, “Why do you keep so much information about where you are, how you are, when you are coming, how you operate, what exactly are you bringing, what exactly are you going to do? Why is this kept so secretive?”

The biggest reason that we have for secrecy, and I think I would speak for all my brothers and sisters of the various forces, the biggest reason is that we do not share information on certain topics simply because we did not wish to create any type of fear. So, we have tred, as you well know, and you would often say we have tred too softly, but we have certainly tred softly for hundreds of years, so that you, as the human race, that have tended to move — not now but in the past — at quite a slow pace, so that you would get used to certain ideas or concepts.

Now, we also have maintained a level of secrecy, and in this case you can even think remaining hidden, because we did not want to invoke, or provoke, any level of violence. That is against not only universal law, but the laws to which we all adhere. And each of us has codes of conduct, of what you would think of as behaviors, of regulations, though they are not as codified as some of what you believe is law.

But we do not wish to provoke a violent response. So we stay secret in many of our undertakings, simply — in the past this is — so that there would not be retaliation. Because that would completely defeat not only our mission and purpose, but it would be hugely detrimental to the planet and to the human advancement.

So what we have kept secret in terms of our plans has also often been that we did not wish to set up false expectations, because [of] the number, the millions and trillions of variables that we are operating with, not only in terms of our own forces and our own fleets, but in terms of human variables — and you change your minds as quickly as your weather patterns.

SB: I’m very aware of that.

SB: So, we do not often say, “At this time and date…”, although we have said, “Look up to the sky now, at this time, and you will observe.” But that is why we often will maintain what you think of as secrecy. But in terms of our own interaction, and even interactions between the fleets, there is very little that is actually kept private.

What you tend to think of as a secret — and let us make sure that we are talking about the same thing, because this is also one of the areas … I am more used [than] many talking to human beings — when you say you have a secret, it is usually because you do not want to share the information because it would hurt or harm somebody, or that someone has given you a confidence which they have asked for you to keep confidential.

Well, there are situations that we talk to certain beings upon your planet and we say, “Here is some information, but can you keep it close to your vest, because we are not quite prepared for the masses to know…” because we do not wish to create either disharmony or fear, or to tip our hand in some situations. Because even at this time there are those upon your planet who would really like to retaliate.

Now, is that going to be permitted? No. Because most of that has already been taken care of. So, it is a … it would be a futile effort, but even in the futile effort, if certain governments or forces wished to retaliate, and then found that their capacity to retaliate was meaningless, it would be cause for mayhem and fear and upset. So that is why sometimes we simply do not talk about these things, because we don’t want to create human anxiety.

What is happening with your collective — and I must commend you, all of you, not only you who are listening to this program, but all of you upon the planet who have been processing your anxiety at a very rapid rate, and letting go of fear and embracing courage and trust and fate — what you, dear Steve, have called the Divine Qualities, but what we consider as simply the experience of existence.

SB: I know that you have divine authority to intervene in a false flag operation, but sometimes it seems that when a false flag operation is intervened in, or some other circumstances arise, that the cabal moves to a Manchurian-candidate assassination, for instance, as in Denver and as with the father of the either producer or director of Steven Greer’s upcoming movie.

Is it the case that the galactic forces don’t have the divine authority to intervene in a Manchurian-candidate assassination?

A: We do have the authority, as you put it, to intervene. But simply having the authority to do interventions does not mean always that we would do so. The consequences of such intervention…. And do not look to blame everything on the cabal. There are also simply a great deal of human chaotic behavior still upon your planet that is not controlled by what you think of as cabal or unseen forces. They are simply human beings gone awry. But let us put that aside for the moment.

Simply because we have permission does not always mean that we exercise that authority. The fallout, which again, you do not understand the number of variables. And I do not say that in a dismissive way; it is simply that you do not have the technology or the wherewithal as yet to deal with the number of variables of what that intervention might result in.

And the other thing that we should discuss while we are talking about secrecy is that you do not know — and these are secret operations to a great extent — you do not know the level to which we intervene, very often. Because we do not want that intervention to be either viewed or seen as coming from outside the human realm.

Sometimes that intervention is being acted out and responsibility taken by some of our troops, our forces that are already on the ground, and sometimes it is taken as intervention directly from one of the fleets. But regardless, there is a lot more intervention that takes place than you are aware of. And that is a good thing. Because the interventions work, and the situations do not escalate or the events do not take place when those interventions are successful.

SB: I wonder if you can appreciate that we hear that you will not allow, say, a false flag operation to occur, but then we see a really monstrous mass shooting in Denver and people ask themselves, “Well, wait a minute. I thought the galactics would see that this kind of thing didn’t happen.” And they also say, “Well, I thought the dark ones were being contained,” and “I thought they were being arrested,” and we’re confused.

We don’t know what this mass shooting in Denver signifies, whether the galactics are able to intervene or not, whether they are protecting us or not. Can you comment on that, please?

A: Yes, we can intervene. Not everybody is a candidate for containment, and that is certainly under the auspices of Archangel Michael, our Lord, and his legions, of which I include myself as well. But what you are also seeing, out of — and yes, we can talk about Denver — [out of] the atrocity is also the awakening of millions of people.

SB: Yes. It’s a very painful way for people …

A: Yes, it is …

SB: … to awaken.

A: And it has been a human decision that has activated that situation — human decisions, not our decisions, and certainly not divine decisions.

Is it a situation where we could have intervened? Yes, but there are also shootings every day on your streets, and slaughter on your streets, where we can intervene.

SB: You mean, you’re authorized to intervene?

A: Yes. We are authorized, and often we will. But sometimes the situation and the outcome, and the level of awareness, and the sacrifice…. Do not forget the sacrifice. And we know this is probably something that many of your listeners do not want to hear. But [in] the sacrifice of those beings that have lost their lives, and the families that have sacrificed, there has also been a level of soul agreement. So it is not wasted sacrifice. It is nowhere near as wasted as some of your more warring efforts.

In the same way that when you have what you think of as a tragedy, where a number of people die together, or they leave the planet together, there is a soul agreement for that to happen to raise the awareness, to build compassion, to build trust. And you say, “Well, this did not enhance our trust.” And what I’m saying to you [is] I think that it did. We see that it enhanced your trust in each other, and it certainly raised your compassion — and your vigilance to what the human chaos is capable of.

SB: Are you implying that the Denver shootings were not a cabal action but were the result of a deranged individual?

A: I am suggesting to you that it is more complex than you think. And it was not simply an action of dark forces or the cabal. And yes, there were certainly deranged individuals involved in this.

SB: And is this an example of a matter that needs to be kept secret?

A: Yes, it is.

SB: All right. While not trying to violate the secret, could you talk about the reasoning behind selecting this as a matter that needs to be kept secret, so that we can understand your thinking?

A: There is a tendency amongst many human beings and hybrid beings to look at a situation that is horrendous — and we know that this situation is completely horrendous, and there are many lightworkers and star beings who have been there as emergency forces to assist — but there is a tendency to immediately go to fault and blame, and that is the dark forces of the cabal. And what it is doing is it is putting it outside, it is as if there is an outside force that is controlling, rather than saying, “This is some of the worst human behavior that can be witnessed. And this is what chaos and the embrace of violence looks like.”

And one of the things that you as a collective are learning, you say that you abhor violence, and we know that you do, but in fact most of you have violence at a very far remove. So it is easy to judge and abhor what is thousands of miles away. It does not make the reality of that violence any less real.

And so you look at situations and you say, “Well, this is not us. This is not the human collective. This is certainly not the lightworkers. This is not the troops on the ground. This is the cabal.”

And what I am saying to you — and it is important that you understand what I am saying, even though it is not palatable to you — not everything can be placed at the feet of the cabal. It is too easy to put it outside of yourself.

We have learned this lesson. And what it does is it creates more separation.

SB: I would very much like to pursue that with you in a future program. That probably would be a very fertile area to explore.

You said not everyone is a candidate for containment. What are the criteria for containment, Ashtar?

A: The criteria for containment are that you need to be in a situation where you can inflict pain, suffering, that your actions have been so abhorrent, and that you are not trying or accepting the energy that is being sent to the Earth and to all the human beings.

But primarily it is not that you are a minor player. It is those who are in positions of, what we would say, significant authority, some known, some unknown; that those are the people that are the primary candidates for containment. The rest are being worked with, as you know — but perhaps not everyone does — but they are being worked with in a variety of other ways, or what we could say, perhaps lesser containment.

But what we refer to when we use the term “containment” is what Archangel Michael refers to as the light box, for lack of a better metaphor.

SB: I understand that Bashar al-Assad is not in containment. And I think when listeners heard that, they might have said, for instance, he fits the criteria that you’ve outlined.

Can you use the example of Bashar al-Assad to help us understand more?

A: Well, in fact he is in containment now.

SB: He is in containment. All right.

A: Because, do not forget, everyone is not put in containment in an instantaneous moment. They are worked with, they are worked with, they are worked with, and then when there is simply no sign of shift, then they are placed — for the good of the collective. Think of it that way. And we consider ourselves — I know you do not consider us always part of the collective, but we consider ourselves part of the collective.

And when there are heinous crimes, and there is no remorse, and there is determination to continue on, despite discussions that have taken place on-board ship, and on Earth, then the next step is taken.

SB: Right. Well, I certainly do regard the distinction between terrestrials and galactics as rather meaningless.

A: So do we, dear heart. So do we.

SB: Thank you. I know a lot of people are wondering how speedily containment is progressing, whether it’s proving to be a practice that is bringing the atrocious acts of some people to a halt on the planet. I think generally we’re all concerned about the speed with which things are happening. Can you tell us something about the progress of containment?

A: Containment is actually going very rapidly. And it has been speeded up, in terms of what you would think of as rapidity and what we think of as rapidity. We have moved to what you would think of maybe as the second level. Most of the largest offenders, let us put it that way — those who simply do not wish to change – have been contained in the cylinders, the light boxes, and we are now working on what you would think of as the second tier. And we would suspect that this would be actually completed as close as the end of your week.

So the changes that are taking place and that you will witness in terms of societal change and political change and financial change [are] actually very close and very rapid.

SB: Well, that’s good news.

A: And if you think that you are concerned about the speed at which things are unfolding, you are not alone in this. We have waited, and waited, and waited a long time for this unfoldment and this Ascension, this shift in consciousness, the return of the original plan. We came because the potential to participate, and to witness, and to be of assistance however we can in this process — it was too big an opportunity to pass up! Let us put it that way.

SB: You came to Earth, but there must have been many, many planets like Earth that the various coalitions have come to aid. When you say it was too big an opportunity to pass up, do you mean Earth or the whole of the Ascension effort?

A: The whole of the Ascension effort. The fact that it is the kingdoms, the humans, the planet and the love, and that you will still have a form of physicality, and that you will be very similar in vibration to us. So it is … for us, it is coming to the aid of a brother and a sister.

And perhaps you did not know that you had a brother or a sister, but you do.

SB: Thank you. I once asked Archangel Michael in a personal reading what was next, and he said, well, you get to have a 200-year vacation after this, after which you go on to an Ascension on the 7th dimension, and do the same thing all over again.

Is it the case that, following this Ascension there are other Ascensions? Is it kind of rippling of things? Or how does it work that there’s an Ascension on one level and then an Ascension on the other level? What is the Divine Plan in this regard?

A: You can think of it as a ripple effect, and the ripple effect continues onward and outward. So if you think of the ripple effect as going out as you ascend, and as Gaia ascends, that there is a ripple effect throughout all the, not only the human dimensions, but also throughout the universe…. So that ripple effect goes far broader than you can imagine.

And so, yes, the thing is that there is always the continual motion, and you know this from the mother. And so, as you continue on, there will be yet another advancement, and another advancement, and another advancement.

SB: Well, let’s contrast what Kuthumi said with what Archangel Michael said. Kuthumi said that, “When you ascend, we’ll be ascending as well.” And he was referring to the Ascended Masters. But Archangel Michael said “You’ll have a 200-year vacation, and then you’ll go on to an ascension of…” some other dimension.

Now, that implies that there’s a passage of time. I can understand how, if we in the third dimension ascend, that others above us may ascend. But I have a little more difficulty understanding a period of time between the two and then another Ascension. That doesn’t seem on the surface to be a ripple effect. Can you help me understand that, please?

A: Yes. What Michael was referring to in your case, and in the case of many, is the 200 years or so that you will wish to live in the fifth, sixth, seventh dimension and have the Golden Age; that you want to be present to enjoy the fruits of your labor.

SB: All right. Well, let me put it another way, then. Are Ascensions continually occurring somewhere in the universe?

I mean mass ascensions.

A: Minor and major.

SB: Yes, I do mean mass.

A: You can think of it that way. Because there is always personal Ascension and movement. But a major event, such as the Ascension that you are all going through right now, that is a big enough event that it is a rarity. So, think of when you drop a pebble into the universe, it changes everything. And it changes nothing. But the impact of that pebble is felt throughout.

Now, in some cases, it gives rise — because that is the way it is — it gives rise to what you may think of as ascended masters. But that does not mean that they are leaving behind who they are, their core essence. It may result in an expansion of their being, which they welcome and integrate. That does not put them beyond your reach, because you are in a new reality, where that reach is fully possible.

So, your energy is rising; the energy of the universe is rising.

But then there are also situations, where, think of it as the trough, or the calm, as the ripple goes out. The impact is felt, but it is not significant. It is a minor adjustment. That is why we came to the heart of where that pebble will be dropped. We want to be part of that experience and to assist in that experience, because you need the assistance.

And that is a part of our journey. Our commitment is to assist in this piece of it.

So, as the humans, as the beings of Earth, come to realize that they are not simply alone in the universe, that awakening, that shift, is so fundamental, even if you are not shifting dimensions, that awakening is so fundamental as to change everything.

And what it does is that it brings you not only closer to us, but closer to each other. It does not create isolationism; it does not create a situation where you feel that you have to protect yourself; it is the recognition that you are part of a community that many didn’t even know existed.

And that factor, that one factor of awareness…. And that is why so many are anxious for Disclosure. It is not simply a matter of ships showing up. That is almost insignificant. It is the awareness that you are part of a broader community, a broader universe, that you are in community in a way that most human beings never really thought of.

SB: When you say, “That is why we came to the heart of it,” what do you mean, “the heart of it”? You’re not referring to Earth, are you? What are you referring to?

A: We came to the heart of where this Ascension is taking place. So, if you think of the entire undertaking — the planet, the energy, the plan of the Mother, the movement that is taking place in humanity — we have positioned ourselves in the center of that activity. You are not always aware that we are positioned in the center of that activity, but we are. And have been for a long time.

SB: That’s very interesting. As lightworkers, sometimes we respond in ways that are not always measured or well thought out. We can be whipped up by disinformation and join the band wagon, as with President Obama. And so I think to a certain extent we need to be educated on how to respond to some things. When you refrain from commenting on something, when you say it needs to be kept secret, what is the reaction that you’re hoping to receive from lightworkers?

A: The reaction that we are hoping to receive from lightworkers is neutrality that you would have and exercise. It’s not discernment, simply respect that there are some things that we choose not to discuss so freely and openly, and certainly upon the airwaves.

SB: And respect for what, Ashtar? What qualities or what situations are you asking lightworkers to respect?

A: We are asking you to respect our integrity and the knowing that you have that we are here in love and to assist you. We have already prevented a great deal of mayhem. We have shared technology. No, we do not ask for credit, we ask for mutuality.

If you are in a relationship with a friend, with a colleague — but we consider ourselves far more than colleagues — and they simply say to you, “I can’t discuss this fully right now. Can we talk about it more deeply later? Because it’s still in motion and I don’t want to upset what is already in motion,” would you not respect them enough to say, “All right”?

SB: Yes.

A: That is what we ask for.

SB: If you knew you had our listening, and there were some traits among lightworkers that are not productive, what would you perceive among lightworkers right now that are not necessarily productive traits?

A: Doubt, anger, angst, fear, disappointment, and a sense of helplessness. This is perhaps the greatest factor that we find disturbing, is the fact that so many lightworkers feel that they are helpless, that they …

[music up]

… do not fully acknowledge or even use their capacities to create, and that this creates anger, doubt, sadness.
