The
channeling sessions that make up these podcasts
posted monthly are a labor of love between Mark,
myself and all the members of Ashtar Command who
spoke on them. From their humble beginning of just
two guys trying new ways to explore the
possibilities of astral projection, they grew to
become an archive of higher dimensional knowledge
from a most remarkable experiment. It took place
one night in 1992 when Mark and I recorded his
first astral travel trip to the base after I
suggested he try to follow a ship there. Once he
passed through the roof of where we were living,
he saw one hovering above us and it showed him the
way to where Kiri was waiting his arrival. The
best we could afford at the time was a Radio Shack
portable tape deck where the sound from those
recordings had the background noise of the tape
heads and were thus unsuitable for the current
archives. It wasn’t until 1995 that we realized we
needed better equipment if the tapes were to be
made available to the public so we bought a
recording system that removed the noise made
previously. It was also about 1995 when the base
started adding guest speakers and organizing the
sessions into a more a consistent format of topics
to cover. We wouldn’t upgrade to a two mic system
until late 1999 which was the peak of sound
quality that we were finally able to achieve. In
the beginning after Mark's first trip, it was
tapes of just Omal, Korton, Kiri and Karra with
myself asking questions in an almost
classroom-like setting but it was the later
sessions from 1995 on that set the standard for
learning and fun. One skill Mark discovered early
in the sessions was how to D-jump or in other
words, choose the point to reenter the fourth
dimension on his way back to his body so that even
though he had spent sixteen hours on the base,
only ninety minutes had passed down here. The
drawback to these trips would be that he would be
experiencing both existences until the left the
base at the end of the sixteen hours. After 1995,
the format we followed changed little except for
which days of the week the sessions were held due
to our work schedules altering for the ski season.
In the later years from 1998, the location of the
recordings changed as different channeling
sessions were moved from our house to accommodate
guests who could not make it up the mountain. The
sound would be challenged by the mic placement
during those location recordings and a good
example of low sound levels is last month’s
podcast, “The Two-Way Mirror of Happiness.” A
normal channeling session though would happen in
what Mark and myself called the “Magic Room”,
really just a spare bedroom in the house where we
were roommates. We used to have a futon enclosed
within a six-foot pyramid made from copper poles
we had constructed and in three of the four
corners, lamps were diffused by tapestries hanging
from the ceiling to keep the light at a level
where Mark’s eyes would not be hurt when he
returned from the base. Around the room would be
several bean bags and chairs for guests to sit in
that kept them within the field of the mic. On the
walls would be racks of tapes from previous
sessions, artwork and a few movie posters. The
last items making up the channeling room was an
elliptical workout machine mentioned about in
several of the sessions and a water fountain heard
in the background for the year or two we had it
running. To begin,
Mark would lie down on the futon and I would take
my place by the tape deck waiting for him to leave
his body which would take a minute or two. Once he
arrived on the base he would make his way off to
the apartment where his children with Kiri and Tia
would be waiting for him to enjoy his family
before sometimes heading off to his duty as one of
the flight controllers at the spaceport. Back in
the channeling room, whoever was ring mistress or
ringmaster would begin the session while the
speakers on the base listened prior to their turn.
The setup on the base differed only in the
location from where they were held. For the first
years, they happened in special channeling rooms
where sessions for groups from all over our world
would be conducted and monitored. Later we had the
privilege of holding the sessions from the
backyard of Kiri, Mark and Tia’s apartment until a
particular session where Omal was unable to attend
and the girls had a party going in the background
the whole time. We would get the privilege back
months later but in both cases the arrangements
would be similar, three monitors had been arranged
in the room down here on earth so that on the base
one would generate holograms of those of us in the
room to the members on the base waiting to channel
that we could not see in this dimension. As each
person took over Mark’s body to talk, they could
speak to the corresponding figures of who was
doing the talking. Another monitor showed a view
screen of the room and a third displayed the auras
and internal scans of myself and the guests asking
questions. Overseeing all of this would be one or
two technicians who would be monitoring the
connection of the hookup, Mark’s energy levels and
doing research or errands when needed. Down here in
the channeling room each of us would be an open
book to whoever was answering our questions and
they would use much of what was going through our
minds to help them understand how to answer in the
best way possible. It could be quite an experience
to have your primary thoughts available to speed
along the conversation as well as knowing each
speaker on the base could see auras fluctuate. The
result was a union of minds that gave the lessons
staying power after hearing them and even now the
flow we achieved is easily apparent in how the
answers to our questions were answers from a group
of individuals we knew were doing their utmost to
assist in the growth of our consciousness and that
of the planet. One gift they entrusted us with
among the many was their unique perspective on
time. We on the third and sixth dimensions think
in a linear stream of one thing following the next
but that isn’t the case in the higher dimensions
above the sixth such as with Omal, Korton and
Ashtar where they have the advantage of non-linear
thought and in some cases hundreds of thousands of
years of personally watching our planet develop.
Once past the fourth dimension, time isn’t so hard
and fast and much of what we learned during the
channeling sessions still holds the ability it did
back then to change a consciousness to a higher
frequency with the experience of listening to them
speak. Add to that the lust for life shown by all
on the base and a knowledge found nowhere on Earth
so that the end result is a set of channeling
sessions which were incredible examples of love
and light. Mark moved off the mountain in 2001 so
the sessions came to an end but the understanding
of all that was taught was just beginning. From
Sedona when the first threads were set in place
with my meeting of Omal and Korton to the tapestry
they have become, the pattern they continue to
form is a beautiful work of synchronicity perfect
for this time and space. In love and life as one. Russ and Karra
