Pleiadian Archangelic Tribe; Bringing Back Goddess Church; AWAKEN
"Who are the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light?
by Amorah Quan Yin
Whenever we come to the end of a major evolutionary cycle, usually every 5200 or 26,000 years, the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light make themselves known. They are a collective group with diverse responsibilities and roles, including that of guardians of Earth and this solar system. As guardians they come to awaken us to where we are in our evolution and to what is needed in order to take the next steps.
There are different kinds of beings with different functions within the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light and they have met a wide variety of needs along the way. Ra, the being who always speaks to me instructionally and philosophically, is part of what is called the Pleiadian Archangelic Tribes of the Light. These archangels serve as wards of Earth and our solar system. There are four of these tribes that are delineated by the color they emanate.
All of the golden yellow Pleiadian Archangelic Tribe members are called Ra and are the keepers of divine wisdom, which is the product of all experience. The blue beings are named Ptah, and they are the protectors and preservers of the eternal nature of life. Ma-at is the title given to the red beings who are the spiritual warriors; they hold the energy of divine courage, which is beyond fear.
The green beings are referred to as An-Ra, and they hold the energy of divine compassion and understanding.
Some of the Pleiadian Archangels make conscious links with human beings, as Ra has done with me. Others specialize in interstellar and planetary communications that are centralized in Alcyone, the central sun of the Pleiades. Still others work with humans during our dreamtime and show us possibilities beyond what we have presumed to be physical limitations.
At times they orchestrate special healing dreams to help us release the past and continue growing, or to find new ways of expressing ourselves that are more commensurate with who we are becoming. Now they are beginning to facilitate the remembrance and teaching of ancient healing modalities (such as contained in the PLEIADIAN WORKBOOK - AWAKENING YOUR DIVINE KA).
The Archangelic Tribe names - Ra, An-Ra, Ma-at and Ptah - may be familiar to you as they were frequently used in ancient Egypt, especially for royalty. The Egyptians were more advanced spiritually in ancient times than they are currently. The Pleiadians were commonly in communication with the ancient Egyptians who were able to respond to them during their height of spiritual advancement. The Pleiadians taught them much of their spiritual knowledge, healing practices, development of full sensory perception, and understanding of Earth's purpose within the solar system, galaxy, and far beyond.
Many Pleiadians took on human bodies in ancient Egypt, while others worked in higher dimensions with the dreamers, seers, healers, priests and priestesses, and even the royalty. Their common purposes were: the overall evolution of the planet and the human race, and to store enough higher knowledge here on Earth so that, when the time came for the Great Awakening, what would be needed would be here. Of course, Egypt was not the only civilization to receive such gifts. Before the Christ incarnation appearances by the Pleiadians took place in power spots all over the world: Machu Picchu, Glastonbury, Hawaii, Greece, Tibet and Africa.
I had been told previously that the Dolphin Brain Repatterning and Dolphin Star-Linking work were vital in the healing and preparation of our nervous systems for the ever-increasing frequencies of the Pleiadian Lightwork. If we as the human population are to make the quantum leap into Christ consciousness, many people will need very specific healings and openings to prepare for it.
And that is the sole purpose of Pleiadian Lightwork: to clear the way for the Second Coming of Christ en masse. Mayan, Egyptian and Hopi prophecies - and perhaps other spiritual sources of which I am unaware - have foretold of this time when we are to be awakened to states of mastery, enlightenment and then Christ consciousness while still on Earth in human bodies.
Many avatars and enlightened masters throughout the ages and from many different cultures have attained the same level of consciousness as the Christ did. In order to understand the purpose of the Christ we must also realize that orthodox religions and the censoring of the Bible, which occurred around 150 years after his death, all but destroyed his true message. "Be ye as perfect as I am" and "You shall do even greater things than I have done" are unmistakable invitations to choose spiritual evolution, enlightenment and ascension, and to let go of limitation on all levels.
These messages are invitations to let go of the idea of a chosen few and to realize that we are all chosen; it is up to each of us to choose whether our answer is 'Yes' or 'No'.
The Christ walked Earth showing the commoners that miracles happen, and that miracles are natural phenomena when people are in direct alignment with their God Presences.
He healed the sick and raised the dead, all the while encouraging the onlookers to believe they could do the same things. When he said he was the 'son of God' he was also telling the people that they were the sons and daughters of God. He told people God loved them and wanted them to be well and happy, and he brought that about in his followers and listeners in order to demonstrate it.
His disciples, who were both men and women by the way, were from all walks of life: common people, wealthy people, and members of the Goddess temples, like Mary Magdalene, who was also his wife.
There were thousands of disciples by the time of the crucifixion in addition to the twelve spoken of in the Bible. All of these disciples opened spiritually to gifts of healing, prophecy and visioning. They proved that what The Christ said was true.
Much of the Christ's empowerment came through awakened women. For the first twelve years of his life he was taught by the Goddess embodied: Mother Mary, her mother Anna, and others.
Then, at the age of twelve, as was the natural course for males, he went to the learned men for sharing and teaching. He traveled to Egypt and India and was initiated in the pyramids. He learned ancient healing-temple practices and mystery-school initiatic teachings. He learned dominion over the body functions from old yogic practices, and secrets of longevity and conscious death.
The governments and churches at that time were very threatened by all of this. A population of self-mastered sovereign beings would soon outgrow the need for those who proclaimed to be authorities. When humans open to their full sensory awareness and spiritual heritage, they easily perceive deceit, unkindness and injustice in others. The so-called authorities can then no longer hide behind high offices and intimidation.
The threat of these possible changes led to the crucifixion, with the hopes that the populace would take to heart this frightening example of what would face them if they continued pursuing such radical ways.
Today, the corruption in our worldwide governments and churches is no secret. So here we are nearly 2000 years later, still living on a planet where the masses are controlled by the few and are too scared, numbed out, or lazy to do anything about it. Spiritual awakening is the only cure to this vastly spread social disease, for the magnetic pull on Earth at this time to remain powerless and socially conformist is stronger than ever. Spiritual awakening is what the Christ, with much help, began to prepare us for during his time on Earth.
Now we are coming to the Age of Light - a time of reawakening. In order for us to evolve as a species, we must become one world. We must bring together the purity of the ancient sacred spiritual teachings of the major eight cultures and their ancient Pleiadian teachers.
All people must drop their differences now and choose divine love and harmony with all things and all beings - whether they be human, animal or sentient. All must win from this new Harmonic Convergence. It's time now!
Cosmic Stepping Stones
by Amorah Quan Yin
We are living in a world made up of sequentialness in time and space. This is demonstrated by the precession of time measured in minutes, days, seasons, our lives, the order in which the planets in this solar ring have been inhabited, and the movement from one millennium into another.
We are impulsed by our own Creators in order to magnetize the life experiences we need to complete our goals in each life. Until we awaken, we are mere creatures of survival who are self-centered, identified with ego-personalities and bodies, with little sense of anything beyond our immediate lives. Up to the point of our spiritual awakenings, we are even unaware that we are unaware.
Then one day, while in the middle of a lifetime of being ourselves doing what we always do, a pause happens: a gap in consciousness during which an unsettling feeling comes over us. This might be followed by such thoughts as, "Who am I really?" or "What am I doing here?"
Our hearts open. Something stirs inside and we do not know what it is; but we know we have to find out. We know that things will never be the same again, although we have no definition for these changes. We become seekers of Truth.
A great celebration is held in the higher dimensions in honor of you; your own Higher Self and future Ascended Master Self attend for you. A new energy is directed your way. You feel inspired and filled with determination. You feel like everything in your life has led you to this moment. You have a deep sense of knowing, and yet you do not understand. Now what?
The avalanche of books, spiritual teachers, workshops, unusual dreams and synchronicities begins. You open the door and existence rearranges itself to place all the right people, situations and materials in your lap. Your mate thinks you're crazy. Your best friend recommends a vacation. You just smile and say, "No, it's not like that. Something is happening to me. I just know that I have something special to do in this life and I have to find out what it is".
The average story goes on to include how your family either starts to join you in your spiritual pursuits, or you separate from your spouse and later divorce. You need time for soul-searching, exploring, finding out who you really are, meeting like-minded others and redefining your priorities. Friends drop out of your life as new friends enter. Emotional and physical bonds either change or they are broken. Then you have your first clear vision.
Perhaps you reexperience a past life or remember flying in the stars with an angel. Another phase of renewed enthusiasm and inspiration ensues. The emotional pain of change and separation are temporarily removed from focus as you embark upon the path of remembering.
Past-life regressions, hypnosis, meditating and focusing your attention usually come with the path of remembering. Your dreams become more vivid, with obvious lessons. Your crown and third eye are buzzy, or you feel pressure in them. It is all falling into place now, or so you think. This must be it!
Then the karmic lessons really begin.
You are challenged on any level at which you are still ego-identified. You attend a workshop at which everyone else is in bliss and you just feel agitated and do not know why. You would like to punch the next person who says, "Yes, I get it!" Or you just feel sorry for yourself and pine away about how unworthy and "less then" you are. Either all those people are a bunch of flakes, or "poor you" is the only one whom God/Goddess has chosen to omit from the Divine Plan. Both are your negative ego's games. So what do you do about it?
You could give it all up and go back to your level-headed spouse. Begging your old friends to take you back might work. But would you be able to be happy, or at least content? No way. The door had been opened too wide, and you saw too much of what awaits you on the other side to turn back now. You are a seeker at the point of no return. Face it, it is this or nothing else. How long it takes you to get to this step will be determined by the amount of struggle and resistance you go through. Eventually, however, surrender is the only alternative.
If your surrender comes from believing you have no choice and you are angry about that, it will be difficult for awhile. If you begin to understand that you create your own reality, your surrender will be much more gracious.
Everything new and challenging will renew your enthusiasm, inspiration and determination. Your attitude at this stage makes all the difference.
The self-help and clearing techniques in the Pleiadian workbooks are invaluable at this stage. Certainly other schools of thought and clearing will work also. Whatever methods you use, you need to know how to stay grounded and focused; how to keep cosmic energy running into your chakras and how to clear yourself of unwanted psychic influences, beliefs and denser, repressed energies. This stage of the spiritual journey is one of self-clearing. It is followed by your consciousness redefining itself as your Divine Essence instead of as your ego.
Additional individual stepping stones that normally follow are: refinements in your spiritual growth and identity; aligning with your Higher Self; purifying your consciousness; and eventually, enlightenment, embodiment of your own Christed Self, and ascension.
Pleiadian Lightwork provides one path for attaining these goals, as do other spiritual books and practices. What is important is that you know inside the way that is right for you. It is not necessary that you understand fully why one path is correct for you personally and not another.
The inner knowing is what is crucial. It is also important that you do not project your path onto others. What is correct for 90 percent of the people may not be correct for the other 10 percent. We are here to learn unity in diversity; to accept and trust that every individual has the innate ability to know what is right for himself or herself.
So it is time now for a renaissance in human consciousness and spiritual awakening and growth. The path of learning and remembering is presently being offered to all humans. It is up to each of us to choose - not from a place of fear, but from a place of sincerity and spiritual commitment. After all, what we think of as physical destruction is really just change. Spirit cannot die; only the body can. Yet when the body dies, the spirit still carries with it the priorities from its human life.
Whether those priorities are love, spiritual respect and wisdom, or greed, lust and prejudice, they are with us until we heal and transcend all limits. The transformation, transmutation and transcendence must be accomplished completely before we move on to higher realms and higher learnings.
Why? Certainly not because it is forced upon us - but because our own spirits will not allow it to be otherwise. At the core of each of our Divine Essences lies an integrity so deep and impeccable that nothing else could be so.
Pleiadian Lightwork Credo
by Amorah Quan Yin
Pleiadian Lightwork is a mystery school system designed to assist participants toward full-body enlightenment, Christ consciousness and ascension.
In doing so, the intention is to glorify and sanctify human, third-dimensional reality by bringing it into full alignment with Divine Truth and Divine Love through all dimensions - not to run away from physical existence. The physical dimension is simply the place where spirits have an opportunity to experience life, and its many circumstances, in a sequential manner through time and space. It is the place where higher-dimensional consciousnesses are grounded and experience one thing at a time. And it is the place in which all dimensions and aspects of consciousness can eventually meet, and experience Oneness.
Therefore, as a mystery school of ascension teachings, participants are encouraged to be life-affirming and to fully embody their Christed Selves. Life is a great gift to our Higher Selves, or Holy Spirits. When our identities return to Truth, we become who we really are, and are released from false identities and ego. Then we are free to exist in Oneness through all dimensions with God / Goddess / All That Is.
The purpose for Pleiadian Lightwork on Earth is to assist in bringing about the second coming of Christ en masse; when a minimum of 144,000 humans come into their full multidimensional alignment, maintaining their Pillars of Light. When at least 144,000 humans have attained Christ Consciousness, an enlightenment wave will be experienced by all living beings on Earth.
Everyone will have a brief experience of Divine Truth and enlightenment. Afterward, each human being will be enabled to make a conscious choice, based on that experience, about whether or not to continue in an illusionary, ego-based reality, or to choose a life based upon spiritual growth, Divine Love, and alignment with Divine Truth and the Divine Plan. Pleiadian Lightwork is not the only system on Earth that is working toward this end result. It is one of the mystery school systems that is doing so.
The Pleiadian Emissaries of Light and the Sirian Archangelic League of the Light, in cooperation with the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of the Ray of the Ascended Christ, and the Galactic and Intergalactic Federations of Light, have brought about the Ka, Ba, Merkabah teachings as they once existed in ancient Lemuria, Atlantis and Egypt. These ancient mystery schools taught seekers in a specific sequential order. The sequence was/is designed to assure that any student/seeker has always been prepared with whatever teachings, healings, activations, self-help tools and initiations are needed before moving to the next level.
That sequence is: to be given self-help tools for clearing karma and releasing ego-identity, meditation techniques, and teachings about impeccability; to awaken the Divine Ka; to heal the Ba, or soul, and return it to its essential state of splendor, glory and identification with Oneness; to heal the cellular structure and clear mutations; to clear DNA, or genetic mutations; to heal the male/female split; refine sexual energy with tantric practice; anchor the Pillar of Light; to reconstruct and activate the Merkabah and diamond-lightbody, anchoring one through all dimensions in the sacred geometry of Light. All of this takes place within the City of Light Dolphin Star Temples which are activated and anchored for each intensive.
Definition of a Mystery School
by Amorah Quan Yin
In ancient times, mystery schools existed in a more obvious and tangible form on Earth. At the height of Egyptian spirituality, for example, the entire culture was centered around the mystery schools. A person from any walk of life might experience a spiritual awakening, recognize the importance of living in harmlessness and impeccability (to do what one knows is right in every situation), choose to awaken fully and become enlightened, and to align with his or her highest destiny. These types of inner experiences sometimes impulse spiritual seekers to join a mystery school.
When the people of ancient Egypt experienced this impulse, they would go to the temples for an evaluation by the priests and priestesses. At times the priests and priestesses would give the prospective student assignments to complete before entering the initiatic path in the mystery school temple system.
The prospective student was accepted into the mystery school only after he/she had completed assignments and prepared by: 1) understanding the difference in ego-identification and identification with the Holy Spirit; 2) made a full commitment to impeccability; 3) learned that the circumstances of his/her life and relationships are teachers; 4) learned enough through meditation to hold safe boundaries; 5) recognized that life choices can no longer be based on emotional reactions such as fear, anger and revenge.
Then the Ka activations would begin. The Ka is the vehicle through which the individual's Christ Self interfaces, and becomes one with the personality and the body consciousness. Next, step-by-step, and initiation by initiation, the seeker would progress through the mystery school system, in the order given above - an example of what the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light call sacred protocol.
A mystery school is a spiritual place and/or teaching in which a human being can learn, experience healing and higher states of consciousness, and (through right action and practice over time) attain to full-body, and all-chakra enlightenment. After the seven initiatic phases of enlightenment have been completed, the initiate moves into the next phase: becoming Christ-conscious.
When this final phase has been attained to, and service on Earth completed, the Christ Self may simply choose to raise the frequency of his/her body and ascend, leaving no physical remains behind. The goal in the mystery school, therefore, is to transcend all illusions of limitation on the physical plane, to live in alignment with Divine Truth, and accomplish multidimensional alignment with one's true self and with God / Goddess / All That Is; in other words, to become the Christ Self.
The initiations along the way are such that the person will be presented with challenges and revelations relative to karma and his/her tendencies toward identification with illusion and ego. As a person meets those challenges and transcends their allurement, then the person moves to the next initiatic level.
Each initiatic level begins with a high experience during which the seeker is given a reference point on where he/she will be when that initiatic level is complete.
After the person anchors that reference point, a clearing phase begins. The clearing phase includes life challenges, surfacing of old emotions, past-life karmic patterns and memories, and anything that needs to be recognized, healed, cleared and transcended. When this is completed, the next level begins and proceeds in a similar manner, until all of the initiatic levels have been mastered.
Pleiadian Lightwork is a mystery school, not 'the' mystery school. It is one of several on the planet at this time. When you choose to become part of a mystery school system, that choice should be made from a place of knowing inside that it is right for you.
A mystery school system should not be chosen from a place of fear of missing out, giving power away to a teacher or system, or from guilt or shame. It should only be chosen from a place of knowing inside that this is what you are drawn to, that you are ready to do your inner work, and take responsibility for all actions in your lives, past, present and future.
It is your responsibility to come to any mystery school, including Pleiadian Lightwork, and its teacher(s) with respect and honor of the gift that is being offered - but not from the standpoint of giving that person guru-like responsibility for your life. You come to become a master being, not to be a permanent follower of someone else and make that person your master.
In short, a mystery school system is any spiritual path and teaching that has the capacity to take you from where you are now through all of the stages of clearing and initiation - to enlightenment. Some mystery schools, such as Pleiadian Lightwork, go further into the realms of full embodiment of Christ consciousness and ascension. The purpose for any true mystery school system is to facilitate your becoming the best you can be and spiritually sovereign.

Biography
A natural healer and psychic since birth, Amorah Quan Yin's life purpose is to return to Christ Consciousness and be an anchor for the Divine Plan on Earth. Her teachings, books and all of her actions are to assist in the movement toward completion of the karmic play-out on Earth and toward planetary ascension in grace and love.
Amorah was born in Kentucky. As a child, her clairvoyance, clairaudience and clairsentience were active but these gifts gradually shut down when she entered public school and succumbed to peer pressure. At age sixteen, upon the death of her grandmother, her full sensory perception, as she prefers to call it, once again reopened. Sporadic experiences throughout her early adult years finally led to her spiritual awakening in early 1979. With her spiritual awakening came a natural healing ability.
Through books, classes, spiritual work with a teacher, and her own increasing awareness, Amorah broke away from traditional jobs in 1985 and began teaching workshops about using crystals and gemstones for healing and awakening.
She also began to make and sell crystal jewelry at that time. Private healing sessions and teaching were intermingled with her other work until 1988 when she moved to Mount Shasta, California, and began building a full-time teaching and spiritual healing practice. Amorah is well respected and known as a very capable and gifted healer, seer and spiritual teacher in the Mt. Shasta area and internationally. Her limited private healing practice consists of individual sessions and private intensives done in person.
Amorah is founder of the Dolphin Star Temple Mystery School, contemporization of the ancient Lemurian and Egyptian Mystery School systems. There are also remnants from Native American, Delphi, Avalon, Mayan and other ancient spiritual cultures. She and those who have completed the mystery school trainings offer comprehensive Full Sensory Perception Trainings and Pleiadian Lightwork Intensives. The majority of the material she teaches is self-learned through her own spiritual practice and past-life recall, or channeled from her Higher Self, or Light Beings who are members of the Dolphin Star Temple Higher Council of Light.
Amorah is the author of:

Pleiadian Message; Rise and Shine your Light.
"Dear fellow brother and sister starseeds currently inhabiting planet Earth,
By this time, you know who you are. Or you at least know in your heart and soul that your light being originated from a star system that is not the one you currently inhabit.
Whether you know yourself to be Pleiadian, Andromedan, Sirian, or the like, we call on you now to ascend into your higher self starseed being.
It is time to shed the human ego and transcend all that keeps you imprisoned in 3D bondage.
As we told you before, YOU are the ones you have been waiting for.
And now is the time for you all to rise and shine your light onto the truth of the power and control you have subjected yourselves to for so very long now.
You are there to free humanity from its own debt slavery, human trafficking, poverty, war, environmental destruction, and planet resource stripping.
You are there to usher in the new, positive energy and not only witness, but to participate in the “changing of the guards.”
For you, dear starseeds, are the new guardians of planet Earth, and it is you who will educate those still slumbering about the new, peaceful way of living, without fear and in full confidence that your lives are meant to be fair, free and enjoyed to the fullest as you nourish your mother, Gaia, back to health while instituting the technology that enables free energy to sustain the entire planet.
You have waited long enough to blossom into your full power and potential, dear ones. Now is the time to believe in yourselves and your personal power.
Now is the time to gather together with your fellow starseeds and to begin developing your grand master plan which has been encoded within you since the day you incarnated into physical form. You all have a piece of the puzzle, and it is time to share your piece with the others to create the big picture, which you all have a snapshot of in your mind’s eye.
You all know in your hearts how this will play out. It is time to begin using your telepathic and visionary gifts and sharing them with one another. The faster and sooner the better!
You have a communication web that you all created for yourselves to use exactly for this time. It is now time for you to telepathically access that web of unity collective consciousness and begin filling it with your visions and heart knowledge/wisdom. Only starseeds of the proper vibration can begin using this web. If you cannot access it, then you need to work on your personal vibration. I am now sending out a visionary symbol that will give you access to this communication web. Close your eyes now and look to your mind’s eye to see it.
This is what you must envision in order to gain secure access to the web. It is already encoded within you, so, if you are meant to see it, you will, and it will give you complete access to the web once you envision it if you are in correct, heart-centered vibration when you do so.
Many of you starseeds are clustered close together within various regions throughout your planet, and you are all encoded with your personal missions. Those you are living close to in proximity are all assigned to the same mission or missions that are linked to one another.
Remember, you each hold a key piece to the puzzle, and each of you is needed at this time to contribute your piece. Do not hold back your energy from this project or your mission. The big picture cannot be complete without you. Trust us when we tell you that you KNOW in your HEART what your mission is.
Drop all fears and grievances now for the sake of your planet and all of the people you love so dearly. Become heart-centered, joyful and loving. You are needed. Immediately.
One people, one planet, one love.
Please relax and focus your intentions and connect to the web of unity consciousness. NOW is the time.
All our love and protection to you.
Peter and Pleidian Ring of 500."

Pleiadian; a Goddess Society
"500 light years from planet Earth is a small cluster of seven stars located in the' Constellation of Taurus of the Bull' known as Pleiades. The cluster is actually the eye of the bull in the constellation of Taurus. According to ancient legends, the stars are said to be the daughters and sisters of Atlas. Only six of the 100 stars can be seen with the human eye.
The inhabitants of Pleiades, known as Pleiadian's, are a highly evolved humanoid race and the next step in our evolution. It is said that Pleiadian's are here to help us in our spiritual journey to enlightenment. Cherokee legend states that their people originated in the Pleiades and they came to this world as starseeds of light and knowledge. If this legend is so, then modern day Cherokee Indians, as well as other Native Americans, have Pleiadian genes.
Pleiadians have kept a record of the complete history of Earth's human evolution from the very beginning to our present time. They claim the Earth is 626 billion years old. The Pleiadian's are of a fifth dimensional frequency, which is one of love and creativity; a Goddess Society (which worships family, children, women).
Nobel Prize winning Scientists Dr. Francis Crick's research postulates that there are genes from over 20 extraterrestrials civilizations in Human DNA.
Francis Crick and partner, James Watson, startled the academic world in 1953 when they deciphered the structure of the DNA molecule.
Dr. Francis Crick concluded Extraterrestrial origins in the Human Genome, in relation to his well renowned DNA research.
Dr. Michael Emin Salla
Dr. Salla, an international politics scholar who in 2001 became interested in the study of exopolitics and subsequently embarked on a personal effort to disseminate his exopolitical beliefs and hypotheses via the mediums of the internet, UFO and New conferences, and radio appearances, and his team of exo-scientists indicate that Earth was colonized by E.T. races, including human, insectual, botanical and reptilian species. The Land continents that first supported advanced human colonies were Lemuria and Atlantis. Dr. Salla and other associated researchers confirm the existence of extraterrestrials who can easily integrate with human society as being from star systems such as Lyra, Pleiades, Sirius, Procyon, Tau Ceti, Ummo, Andromeda and Arcturus. These E.T.'s have also provided some of the genetic material for the seeding of humanity on Earth.
Exo-scientists claim that the Pleiadian's are our far distant first cousins and ancestral forbearers of some of our races. Exo-scientists claim that Pleiadian's have been visiting Earth for at least 79,743 years. The Pleiadian's are also descendants of the Lyrans who would send down scout teams consisting of scientists and engineers and agricultural specialists who would explore the surface of possible habitable planets and return the data and information to the mothership. One of these planets apparently included Earth. Each planet was explored and based upon its unique nature, colonies were then sent down to settle. It is in this way that the Pleiadian's are so interested in our world and humanity on Earth.
Exo-scientists also claim that the Pleiadian's are very similar in many ways to humans on Earth, only they are emotionally and spiritually more evolved than Earth humans are at this time. Dr. Salla's and other associated exo-science researchers also indicate that the Pleiadian's have also gone through their growing pains, much like humans are right now on Earth. The scientists further claim 'Pleiadian's have made attempts to share with us the benefits of their experience so that we ourselves don't have to experience the same kinds of setback and possible destructions, but at present, not enough people on Earth are listening.'
'The Lyrans learned to adapt and live in complete harmony with their respective planets. They developed agricultural communities that were literally awesome. They were efficient and could feed billions of beings, but it was actually enhancing the planet itself and creating an even wealthier environment. All aspects of life seem to benefit from the Lyran's commitment to be at one with their home planets.'
At the same time, the life expectancy of living on planets without the kind of pollution, and social oppression on Earth is represented by exo-scientists as apparently 'being much higher than on Earth.'
Exo-scientists indicate that Pleiades life span exceeds human beings on Earth. Pleiades technology has made it possible to travel anywhere in our Universe at speeds faster than the speed of light. 'They are capable of using the Earth's oceans for undersea operations,' Dr. Salla documents, in association with other extraterrestrial researchers.
Pleiadian's are very concerned about the misuse for our sciences today on Earth, and are worried that we will destroy our planet and ourselves. They are concerned that we have completely lost our spiritual center and harmony with our sciences. Pleiadian's have no use for money, politics and religious rituals and doctrines, which are used by manipulative elites on Earth.
Pleiadians have left descendants on the Earth in the past and are willing to help us, but not to the point of changing our evolution and becoming responsible for our race. Earth must create its own future and either correct our mistakes or suffer because of them.
In contrast with the elite-driven greed on Earth, the Lyran extraterrestrials, which seeded the Earth, were inspired by a consciousness associated with spirituality that grounded their sciences into humanistic dimensions of service to the 'greater good' with a collective consciousness of love, peace, and wisdom.
Dr. Salla and other colleagues documented that the Lyrans sought to create no shrines or temples, except for nature itself. According to the Lyran system of social ethics and spirituality, real faith was not formulated in creeds, but rather a sense of social and environmental responsibility among Earth humans for each other.
Dr. Salla documents that the Lyran's are is only interested in our intent, and the path of our heart. A civilization of beings that choose a relative path of evolution associated with affirmed quality-of-living and spiritual renewal for all , versus a regressive, de-evolutionary path of greed, and oppressive power, as Earth's elites, which will eventually result in the destruction of Earth."

It is said that Pleiadian's are here to help us in our spiritual journey to enlightenment.

Dr. Michael Emin Salla
Dr. Salla, an international politics scholar who in 2001 became interested in the study of exopolitics and subsequently embarked on a personal effort to disseminate his exopolitical beliefs and hypotheses via the mediums of the internet, UFO and New conferences, and radio appearances, and his team of exo-scientists indicate that Earth was colonized by E.T. races, including human, insectual, botanical and reptilian species. The Land continents that first supported advanced human colonies were Lemuria and Atlantis. Dr. Salla and other associated researchers confirm the existence of extraterrestrials who can easily integrate with human society as being from star systems such as Lyra, Pleiades, Sirius, Procyon, Tau Ceti, Ummo, Andromeda and Arcturus. These E.T.'s have also provided some of the genetic material for the seeding of humanity on Earth.
Exo-scientists claim that the Pleiadian's are our far distant first cousins and ancestral forbearers of some of our races. Exo-scientists claim that Pleiadian's have been visiting Earth for at least 79,743 years. The Pleiadian's are also descendants of the Lyrans who would send down scout teams consisting of scientists and engineers and agricultural specialists who would explore the surface of possible habitable planets and return the data and information to the mothership. One of these planets apparently included Earth. Each planet was explored and based upon its unique nature, colonies were then sent down to settle. It is in this way that the Pleiadian's are so interested in our world and humanity on Earth.
Exo-scientists also claim that the Pleiadian's are very similar in many ways to humans on Earth, only they are emotionally and spiritually more evolved than Earth humans are at this time. Dr. Salla's and other associated exo-science researchers also indicate that the Pleiadian's have also gone through their growing pains, much like humans are right now on Earth. The scientists further claim 'Pleiadian's have made attempts to share with us the benefits of their experience so that we ourselves don't have to experience the same kinds of setback and possible destructions, but at present, not enough people on Earth are listening.'
'The Lyrans learned to adapt and live in complete harmony with their respective planets. They developed agricultural communities that were literally awesome. They were efficient and could feed billions of beings, but it was actually enhancing the planet itself and creating an even wealthier environment. All aspects of life seem to benefit from the Lyran's commitment to be at one with their home planets.'
At the same time, the life expectancy of living on planets without the kind of pollution, and social oppression on Earth is represented by exo-scientists as apparently 'being much higher than on Earth.'
Exo-scientists indicate that Pleiades life span exceeds human beings on Earth. Pleiades technology has made it possible to travel anywhere in our Universe at speeds faster than the speed of light. 'They are capable of using the Earth's oceans for undersea operations,' Dr. Salla documents, in association with other extraterrestrial researchers.
Pleiadian's are very concerned about the misuse for our sciences today on Earth, and are worried that we will destroy our planet and ourselves. They are concerned that we have completely lost our spiritual center and harmony with our sciences. Pleiadian's have no use for money, politics and religious rituals and doctrines, which are used by manipulative elites on Earth.
Pleiadians have left descendants on the Earth in the past and are willing to help us, but not to the point of changing our evolution and becoming responsible for our race. Earth must create its own future and either correct our mistakes or suffer because of them.
In contrast with the elite-driven greed on Earth, the Lyran extraterrestrials, which seeded the Earth, were inspired by a consciousness associated with spirituality that grounded their sciences into humanistic dimensions of service to the 'greater good' with a collective consciousness of love, peace, and wisdom.
Dr. Salla and other colleagues documented that the Lyrans sought to create no shrines or temples, except for nature itself. According to the Lyran system of social ethics and spirituality, real faith was not formulated in creeds, but rather a sense of social and environmental responsibility among Earth humans for each other.
Dr. Salla documents that the Lyran's are is only interested in our intent, and the path of our heart. A civilization of beings that choose a relative path of evolution associated with affirmed quality-of-living and spiritual renewal for all , versus a regressive, de-evolutionary path of greed, and oppressive power, as Earth's elites, which will eventually result in the destruction of Earth."

"COMPLICATIONS AND CONFUSIONS IN DISCUSSIONS OF THE GODDESS"
"Although writing in patriarchal Greece from a patriarchal perspective, Hesiod said in hisTheogony or Birth of the Gods that Gaia or Earth alone was the mother of the Mountains, Sky, and Sea. With the male Sky she gave birth to the next generation of deities known as the “Titans,” who were overthrown by Zeus.
Hesiod’s was a “tale with a point of view” in which “it was necessary” for the “forces of civilization”–for him represented by warrior God and rapist Zeus–to violently overthrow and replace earlier conceptions of the origin life on earth and presumably also to overthrow and replace the people and societies that created them.
With the triumph of Christianity in the age of Constantine in the 4th century AD, Christus Victor replaced Zeus in the cities, while the religion of Mother Earth continued to be practiced in the countryside. Over time, many of the attributes of Mother Earth were assimilated into the image of Mary, and priests began to perform rituals earlier dedicated to Mother Earth, such as blessing the fields and the seeds before planting. In the Middle Ages “the Goddess” re-emerged within Western Christianity in devotion to the Virgin Mary, the female saints, and figures such as Lady Wisdom, at the same time that the history of the Goddess was being erased.
Jung and Neumann agreed that rationality and individualism which they viewed as “brought to us by patriarchy” were a “good thing.” However, in the face of modern technology, growing alienation of city dwellers from nature, and the destruction wrought by modern warfare, both Jung and Neumann concluded that it was time for patriarchy to reincorporate at least some of the values of matriarchy.
For them “the masculine” had need of “the feminine” in order to reunite the masculine with the body, nature, and the unconscious. While they spoke of the reintegration of the masculine and the feminine, neither Jung nor Neumann mounted a full-on critique of patriarchy for the violence it brought with it, nor for despising and enslaving women in real life.

In the middle of the 19th century, in Das Mutterrecht (The Mother Right), J. J. Bachofen stunned the scholarly world with his theory that matrilineal kinship, matrilineal inheritance, and reverence for the Great Mother were to be found at the origins of civilization. Bachofen challenged the view that patriarchy and the worship of male Gods had existed “from the beginning .”
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries a large number of scholars and writers agreed with Bachofen that Mother Earth was worshipped in early “matriarchal” socieities.
Almost all of these scholars also agreed with Bachofen that the religion of the Goddess in matriarchal societies represented a “primitive,“ “inferior,” and “lower” state of culture. Thus they also concurred that “it was necessary” for matriarchy to be overthrown by patriarchy in order for civilization to “advance.”

Thus they also concurred that “it was necessary” for matriarchy to be overthrown by patriarchy in order for civilization to “advance.”
19th and 20th century theorists invoked Darwin’s evolutionary theory and spoke of an “evolution of cultures” in which the “stongest” and the “fittest” survived. For them, it was “obvious” that the triumph of patriarchy over matriarchy was a triumph of reason over unreason, the individual over the group, and civilization over its opposite.
The classicist Jane Harrison whose work uncovered a history of the Goddess underneath the art and literature of the Greek “classic age” can be read as having had a preference for the earlier religion of the Goddess and an antipathy for the Olympian religion of Zeus. However, she deemed the shift from “matriarchy to patriarchy” a “necessary stage in a real advance. Matriarchy gave to woman a false because magical prestige.” (Prolegomena, 285) On the same page she noted that (true) “understanding was not granted to the Greek.”
Presumably she looked forward to a time when the “mystical truth” that the “stronger had a need, real and imperative, of the weaker” would lead to a new cultural synthesis in which the stronger would no longer feel it necessary to “despise and enslave” the weaker. However, her language is so cryptic that it is easy to miss her point—whatever it is.

However, her language is so cryptic that it is easy to miss her point—whatever it is.
Carl Jung and his disciple Erich Neumann who wrote the widely read Jungian book, The Great Mother, accepted Bachofen’s theory that matriarchy preceded patriarchy and his conclusion that patriarchy marked an advance in culture. Neumann argued that patriarchy allowed the individual to emerge from the group and for rationality to emerge from the mists of magical and irrational thinking. For all his love for and interest in “the Great Mother,” Neumann concluded that it was necessary for her “reign” to end.
Jung and Neumann agreed that rationality and individualism which they viewed as “brought to us by patriarchy” were a “good thing.” However, in the face of modern technology, growing alienation of city dwellers from nature, and the destruction wrought by modern warfare, both Jung and Neumann concluded that it was time for patriarchy to reincorporate at least some of the values of matriarchy.For them “the masculine” had need of “the feminine” in order to reunite the masculine with the body, nature, and the unconscious. While they spoke of the reintegration of the masculine and the feminine, neither Jung nor Neumann mounted a full-on critique of patriarchy for the violence it brought with it, nor for despising and enslaving women in real life.
The view that a matriarchal age preceded patriarchy was challenged in the mid-twentieth century by mainstream scholars who argued that no matriarchal societies ever existed. These scholars called attention to the power of uncles, the brothers of the mothers through whom matrilineal kinship was traced, and concluded that societies with matrilineal kinship were patriarchal after all.
After the Second World War, interest in matriarchal societies and the Goddess waned in the face of a new view of “man” as the “naked ape.” The idea that mother-honoring societies of peace preceded patriarchy was deemed a romantic longing for a golden age and viewed as a fantasy belied by the inheritance of aggression from “the apes.” (The idea that dominance and aggression is the main human inheritance from apes has been challenged by studies of the bonobo apes.)
In early 1970s when second wave feminists began to critique “patriarchal” religions and to seek alternatives to them, they rediscovered the literature on matriarchy and the Goddess. This literature seemed to confirm feminist longings for an alternative to patriarchy and its Gods. While some feminists criticized earlier scholarship, others simply ignored its assumption that early civilizations were primitive and its conclusion that it was necessary for matriarchy and the era of the Goddess to be superseded by patriarchy and the era of the Gods—in order for civilization to advance.
In her great works The Language of the Goddess and The Civilization of the Goddess, Marija Gimbutas did not directly address the assumptions and conclusions of earlier scholarship on the Goddess. However, her conception of the “civilization of the Goddess” boldly challenged the assumption of earlier scholarship that Goddess cultures were “primitive” and “uncivilized”; it thus undermined the conclusions of earlier scholars that “it was necessary” for such cultures to be overthrown. Gimbutas argued that in many respects the civilization of the Goddess was “higher” than the patriarchal ones that replaced it. As she said, the civilization of Old Europe was peaceful, egalitarian, sedentary, and highly artistic—and survived for millennia without war.
Gimbutas did not use the term “matriarchy” in her works, because she rejected the popular and scholarly assumption that matriarchy is the opposite of patriarchy—a society where mothers rule and females dominate males. She spoke carefully of egalitarian cultures that were “matristic” or mother-honoring, and probably matrilineal and matrilocal. In recent years, a new group of scholars have redefined matriarchy to refer to mother-honoring egalitarian societies where grandmothers and great uncles share power in community. I suspect that Gimbutas would have adopted this new definition of matriarchy. However, the fact remains that she did not use the term.
Despite the attempts of new generations of scholars to redefine terms, and to challenge the assumptions and conclusions of earlier scholars, those who dismiss Goddess scholarship generally assume that new generations of scholars are saying “the same old thing.” What is the cause of this failure of scholarly objectivity? The whole discussion of the power of women and Goddesses in prehistory raises questions that cannot help but stir up emotion. Was patriarchy and advance in civilization? Was it necessary for men to dominate women in order for civilization to advance? Is war inevitable? Or was patriarchy a wrong turn in human history fraught with violence and injustice?
I suggest that the emotions involved in the above questions have made it difficult for sustained rational discussion to occur. It was one thing to discuss matriarchy and the Goddess as a sideline to the necessary triumph of patriarchy. It is quite another to suggest that patriarchy might not have been “necessary” at all. This thought threatens the foundations on which our entire understanding of civilization–and our educational system–is based.

"The latest update from our friends, the Collective, onboard the New Jerusalem, under Ashtar’s command.
Greetings, our friends and fellow shipmates! Namaste.
There is much happening now on your Earth plane. For one, your systems of governance are in a moment of great shift.
There is breaking through now, the first level of what you refer to as Disclosure—the admittance on the part of the US and other governments that they have been in discussion, in networked alliance, and engaged in work and scientific exploration, with what you term ETs—those of us living in higher dimensional levels and at a higher level of what you term “technology,” which to us is not at all a separate form of thought or mechanics, but simply a natural use of universal law of energy and light source.
Watch throughout the remaining months of this year, as your media begin to allow small shafts of light to be emitted from the previously closed up rooms of information and complicity.
Some of this information will be a surprise, some of it will not, particularly for those of you who cannot understand why the secrecy has taken place at such a serious level, and for so many decades, even centuries.
Watch how the stories will increasingly appear, regarding the ISS [International Space Station], statements made by members of Congress and other governments’ officials outside the US, hints imparted by your president and other leaders, and increasing signs in the sky.
For we are ready to meet with you, once you have collectively admitted that we exist, and are psychologically prepared as a race, without fear, to increase and elevate your experience of us.
For another, your banking systems have recently undergone a great change, unheralded by your media, as it is presently being kept in secrecy by those who instituted the change and those who are immediately affected by it (banking officials).
Nor would we describe it in detail, though it is utterly clear to us and easily done, as worldwide recognition of these changes will occur in perfect timing, and not before.
But know that the previous systems of feudal servant and overlord are now ended in ways previously only thought of or argued for.
This is done—this part is finished. Your rights as individuals and as nations, to live under free systems of trade and currency, and not fraudulent and easily breakable systems, has come through at last.
This is one of the great underpinnings of your new world.
Rejoice with us, and expect to hear of these changes, for you shall, and sooner than you might believe.
Namaste."

"Top Thirteen Most Influential People in Goddess Spirituality" Feminist Spirituality: Bringing Back the Goddess; Raising the Consciousness of the Feminine Divine.
"Earlier this month I was very interested to see a series of posts on Raise the Horns about the top 25 most influential people in the birth of paganism.
When I read Mankey’s post, it reinforced my own conception of Goddess spirituality as having a distinctly different lineage and flavor than much of contemporary paganism.
His list, while extensive, useful, and accurate, involves a distinct lack of Goddess scholars, highlighting to me that Goddess spirituality IS a different movement and isn’t actually just a Goddess-oriented branch of contemporary paganism. Indeed, almost everyone on his list I’d either never heard of, not read, or don’t enjoy their writing. I immediately started to draft a list of my own and came up with 13 women, which seemed delightfully appropriate.
We in the Goddess feminist community have our own path, herstory, and lineage, one that really only began in the 1970′s in direct connection to the feminist movement, rather than the pagan movement.
Not necessarily in a particular order, here is my own list of the top thirteen most influential people in the development and articulation of Goddess Spirituality as its own distinct path. (I’ve been scrambling to finish collecting my thoughts in time to post this list while it is still Women’s History Month!) Only one of my own picks also appears on Mankey’s list.

(I’ve been scrambling to finish collecting my thoughts in time to post this list while it is still Women’s History Month!) Only one of my own picks also appears on Mankey’s list.- Carol Christ–this feminist scholar is the most skillful and intelligent thealogian of the present day. Christ’s influence on my own ideas and concepts has been profound. Her work is academic, focused, and deep, and she wrestles with heavy questions.
I particularly enjoy her books Rebirth of the Goddess and She Who Changes. A brilliant, thoughtful, amazing writer, Christ’s essay Why Women Need the Goddessremains, in my opinion, one of the most important and influential articles of our time. - Merlin Stone–author of the classic When God was a Woman, this professor of art history changed the landscape and understanding of ancient cultures and their relationship to the Goddess (and, yes she drew on the work of Murray and Graves, but moved into feminist thealogy rather than pagan practice).
- Riane Eisler—author of The Chalice and the Blade, she made a significant contribution to the understanding of the history and development of patriarchy as well as offering a solution in the form of a partnership model of society.
- Marija Gimbutas—scholar and archaeologist and author of several books chronicling Goddess figurines from around the world, including The Language of the Goddess, her work has come under scrutiny and criticism, but remains a potent contribution to the lineage of the Goddess movement.
- Starhawk–the first of two on my list who bridge the gap between more “classic” paganism and feminist spirituality, Starhawk had a huge impact on the development of a female-oriented spiritual tradition. Her book The Spiral Dance was the first introduction to the Goddess for many women. In keeping with what I find to be a personal lack of click with a lot of pagan authors, I did not particularly enjoy The Spiral Danceand actually read it much later than most of the other books about feminist spirituality that I reference in this post, but regardless of personal taste, her influence on the Goddess movement is profound.
- Z. Budapest—considered by many to be one of the first mothers of the feminist spirituality movement in the U.S., like Starhawk, Z’s writings are not my personal favorite resources because of their heavy Wiccan orientation, but they are undeniably classics in Goddess circles. Z has taken heat from many pagans for her position on transgender people.
- Patricia Mongahan–recently departed author of Goddess-specific resource books like The Goddess Path and Wild Girls, Patricia’s writing is more practical and less scholarly/thealogy-oriented than some of my other favorite authors.
- Monica Sjoo—radical artist, ecofeminist, and Goddess scholar, Sjoo wrote The Great Cosmic Mother and one of my other favorites, a critique of New Age spiritual paths called New Age Armageddon. Her classic and awesome painting God Giving Birthnarrowly avoided ended up in Court on the charge of “obscenity and blasphemy.”
- Hallie Iglehart—while less well-known and influential than some of the other women on my list, Hallie was personally very impactful to my own Goddess path, since her books were some of the first, personal and experientially-oriented Goddess-specific books that I read. She is the author of Womanspirit, a synthesis of feminism and religion, and of The Heart of the Goddess, a visually stunning collection of Goddess images and meditations/reflections.
- Cynthia Eller—while Eller’s book focused on debunking the “myth of matriarchal prehistory” made her lose popularity among many in the Goddess community (see her clarifying comments here), her scholarly engagement with the complexities of articulating the concepts of feminist spirituality and of thealogy is challenging, illuminating, and offers the opportunity to dig deeply into one’s own perspectives. Her book Living in the Lap of the Goddess is a thorough exploration of women’s spirituality and the Goddess movement.
- Charlene Spretnak–another rocking writer with a thorough grasp of the sociopolitical and cultural context, value, and purpose of Goddess spirituality, her classic anthology The Politics of Women’s Spirituality is one of the best and deepest explorations of the concepts, personal experiences, philosophies, and thealogies of why Goddess.
- Karen Tate–through her weekly radio show, Voices of the Sacred Feminine, I would venture to say that Tate is one of the most influential and dedicated “Goddess advocates” of the present day.
- Elizabeth Fisher and Shirley Ranck—authors of germinal religious education curriculums focused on feminist spirituality and woman-honoring traditions, originally published by the UU Women and Religionprogram, their work with Rise Up and Call Her Name and Cakes for the Queen of Heaven continues to change the lives of women around the country by introducing them to a vision of what the world could be like if the divine was imaged as female.
Also deserving of mention are:
- SageWoman Magazine (and her editors)—this specifically Goddess-women oriented publication is a treasure and a delight.
- Feminism and Religion blog–daring to explore the intersection of religion, scholarship, activism, and community, FAR is not specifically Goddess-oriented, but includes Goddess scholars amongst their contributors and weaves a beautiful, living, organic tapestry of the multifaceted web of feminist spirituality in the present day.
I find that feminist spirituality can be distinguished from paganism because of the inclusion of a coresociopolitical orientation and distinct sociocultural critique.
Feminist spirituality to me is the intersection of religion and politics. It is religious feminism.
It may or may not include literal experience of or perception of the Goddess, but it names the female and the female body as sacred, worthy, and in need of defense and uses Goddess symbols, metaphors, stories, and experiences as primary expressions of divinity and the sacred."
