Little did I nor my friends know that back in
1968, as we were imagining ourselves taking over
the roles of the crew of the Enterprise in Star
Trek, that the real thing was going on in the
galaxy. The concept was simple, a crew of various
species working together to explore the unknown.
To us, it didn't matter who you were, you
belonged. In our minds the consoles appeared like
magic under our fingertips and a shared viewscreen
would show whatever one of us proposed as a
scenario. Too soon the bell would ring calling us
back to class and the illusion was over but not
the impact on our lives. We were presented with
ideals we could strive for and roles we could
interpret into viable ways to handle reality. For
example, the role of Mr. Spock translated into an
interest in science while playing Capt. Kirk gave
one an experience at leadership. These are
influences that followed us from elementary school
onward. Interpersonal relationships seemed easy
preparing us for the real world experience of the
opposite sex. Even the villains provided lessons
in handling the chaos of youth. That was just the
start.
Two decades and a lot of experience would take
place before the crew of the Enterprise would
return in its new version of the Next Generation.
It hit the airwaves right when I was living in
Sedona Arizona discovering that there was a group
of various species working together to explore the
galaxy but also protect earth. I was learning
about Ashtar Command straight from the members of
the command thanks to a channeller I was led to
named Roger Pinion. I was hearing from both the
head of communications for the command named
Korton and the commander of a base on Mars in a
higher dimension keeping our planet free of
intervention named Omal. This against the backdrop
of Capt. Picard and his crew getting much more
serious about the unknown they faced. On one hand,
I was learning about higher dimensional entities
like Sananda and Ashtar, grandmasters and all five
psychic skills and able to appear anywhere as
anyone like the entity Q. Another group of beings
I was learning about were the Greys, a race with a
group mind and a singular purpose, much like the
Borg with their superior technology and a singular
purpose. Standing against that purpose was Ashtar
Command fulfilling the role of the Federation of
Planets. That completed the picture of what took
place on the higher dimensions and gave me a goal
that would take me to Lake Tahoe to achieve,
spending my life learning about the higher
dimensions.
Two more decades go by and we get to the present.
Star Trek has evolved with new stories and I was
led to a coworker who shared a birthday with me
and was also a master class astral traveler. That
led to a reunion with Omal and Korton when Mark,
my coworker, was able to channel them as well as
other members of Ashtar Command. My trips to their
base on Mars in my astral travels let me live out
the real life Star Trek. On Hades Base, multiple
races lived and worked as one including Wookies
from another well-known series. Mark and I learned
of inhabited planets other than earth and colony
ships expanding the presence of life throughout
the galaxy. This was the real thing. Now, humans
were the race protected by the prime directive. It
is irony in its highest form and also the reason
why no other races can interfere with the
evolution of humanity. For the human race to one
day become a part of that galactic Federation of
planets, it has to be done with the only help
provided by the information shared through
channeling and keeping the skies clear of nonhuman
craft. It's all part of a long-term plan of
helping humans move onto the next stage of their
evolution, discovering the psychic gifts possessed
in varying degrees by everyone on earth. We saw
some of that potential in the eventual
transformation of Wesley Crusher. In the season
seven episode, "Journey's End", the Traveler told
Wesley that he had evolved to a new plane of
existence and was "ready to explore places where
thought and energy combine in ways you can't even
imagine". This from a TV show that was never
supposed to succeed.
It's hard if not impossible to discount the
culture influences and technical influences
humanity has experienced because of the show. It
stands alone as breaking ground while traveling
through space as the original series showed
multicultural unity within the crew and
interracial relationships that included different
species. It lifted the imaginations of boys like
me high into the heavens above. Little did I know
that one day I would be an unpaid intern for
Ashtar Command and get to meet incredible beings
like Ashtar and Sananda. Here we are in the 21st
century and mankind is finding the technology of
Star Trek in their everyday lives. Cell phones are
the biggest examples of being able to reach nearly
everyone on the planet at a moments notice. We are
expanding cleaner sources of energy and becoming
closer to exploring the stars. So the question
comes down to how did Star Trek portray an
organization like Ashtar Command so closely when
the 60s was anything but enlightened? That comes
down to its creator Gene Roddenberry. One has to
wonder if, someone had access to the same
information Mark and I received from the command
over nine years, what they could have done with it
back when shows like Bonanza were big hits? After
hundreds of channeling sessions lasting hours
where almost anything could be asked, perhaps
there is some unknown channeler who helped bring
about one of the greatest science faction shows of
all time.
