I am SaLuSa from Sirius

2012 NOVEMBER 15
Posted by Steve Beckow

A psychic drawing that has come to be accepted as “the” depiction of SaLuSa

The Sirian spokesman for the Galactic Federation has made the statement “I am SaLuSa from Sirius” his trademark. Over the years, I’ve come to read him religiously three times a week. I thrilled at those words each time I read them.

They said to me that I was about to hear the latest news from our space brothers and sisters, generous reassurance, and thrilling secrets from aboard the motherships.

SaLuSa is channeled by Mike Quinsey from England. He comes from what he calls “a physical civilization.” “You might ask where do we stand as far as evolution is concerned,” and he replies that “we as member civilizations of the Galactic Federation have already ascended.” (1)

Using himself as an example, SaLuSa says that “ I … have moved well beyond your present level of awareness.” (2) The Sirians “continue to evolve, and will do so until we find ourselves at One with the Source of All That Is.” (3)

On another occasion he said of the Sirians that “as members of the Galactic Federation we are enlightened Beings, and our relationship to you is based upon our love for you.” (4) He expanded on that statement some years ago:

“We bring you love and know that we can lead you onto the path of Light, and in us you will see what can be achieved by following it. For eons of time we have moved in the higher vibrations, and it is exactly the reason we come now to serve you in your hours of need.

“It is not that we have ignored you previously, but we have allowed you to find your own way which is all part of your experience. Nevertheless, we have always been near enough to you to assist in ways that have not always been obvious.” (5)

On one occasion he called himself “a spokesman for the Galactic Federation” (6) and informed us that “I along with my companions represent the Galactic Federation where contact with you is concerned.” (7) Over the years, his colleagues have included Diane, Ag-Agria, and Atmos of Sirius, Ela of Arcturus, and Ker-On of Venus.

SaLuSa, like Matthew Ward, speaks on behalf of the group. He reveals that “I … speak more as the collective voice for our group, while the Galactic Federation have many individuals making contact all over the world.” (8) Of him, Diane of Sirius once said that “SaLuSa embodies the energy of our group.” (9)

The contact they make with us now is through channels. He says:

“In time we will not need channels to speak with you, but appear on your television networks. We could do that now, but that would be an imposition without your approval.” (10)

The galactics generally “have been in contact with you for some 70 years.” As a result of this contact, “you are familiar with our presence, and in general accept that we are your family.” (11)

He tells us that “my background is much like yours, as my genetic history is linked with other civilizations.” (12)

Because we are linked genetically, the Sirians are very much near us in appearance, SaLuSa tells us.

“Along with the Pleiadians and Venusians we are very much like you in appearance. After all, you are genetically linked with us and we have more in common than you might imagine. Many of you are aware of other humanoid forms, and these are simply variations that are more suited to the different planetary conditions.” (13)

Our physical bodies are temporary and they do change as we rise in dimensionality, he advises.

“Bodies are vehicles that house your soul for the duration of your time in any one environment. Soon yours will change again, as you move into the higher vibrations and indeed for some of you they have already begun.” (14)

Very recently he advised us that we are near to first contact with them.

“We feel that we have achieved so much in a relatively short time, and here we are so near to being able to openly visit you. We look forward to those times when we can share many things with you.” (15)

In the dimension that he comes from, there is no such thing as wear or decay. He describes the world we can expect to see if we were to come to the Sirius star system.

“One day some of you will visit our bright star and you will find it teeming with life, and what will strike you immediately is that everything seems new. Because of the higher vibrations wear and decay does not take place, just as in the case of our physical bodies. You are in fact beginning to experience cellular changes, which are also destined to lift them up to that level.

“You will see that colors are bright and pure, and permanently remain vibrant and give out pleasing energies. Light is emitted from everything that you see, and you will feel a strong sense communication with all life forms.

“Harmony and balance is felt everywhere, that somehow envelopes you in a feeling of being at One with everything around you. You will have much to learn and enjoy from these trips.” (16)

At one point last year, SaLuSa came under heavy questioning because he, along with Matthew, was alleged to have made statements that misled people. SaLuSa remained his unflappable self. Of the matter, he said: “It is an interesting subject that has come up, and it questions your ability to be discerning and develop it so that you become adept at correctly sizing up a situation.” (17)

He advised us to go inwards to weigh and assess channeled messages. He said:

“Any Lightworker may be subjected to attacks from the dark Ones. It is up to other people to use their judgement, as most of you that are following messages from Light sources are already using your intuitive abilities.

“Therefore it should not really need me to refute outright disinformation, calculated to instill fear and doubt in your minds. The channels used for such purposes may feel that they are genuinely transmitting messages of Light, but they like anyone else are liable to attract lesser sources that are out to use them for their own ends. Channels and readers alike are always asked to question what they are given, and not to simply accept it all.

“As the end–times get nearer the dark Ones are desperate to make some final show of defiance. So each one of you should be wary of messages that seem to be completely out of synchronization with the main stream that you follow. You have the ability to go within and speak with your Higher Self, and you will get advice or a strong feeling as to which way to go.” (18)

He described the manner in which he and his colleagues operated.

“It is not our way to set out to shock you or sensationalize our messages, and generally speaking they are steady and constant in the manner in which they are given to you.” (19)

Our differing interpretations, he said, came from our differing levels of understanding.

“Many of you are at different levels of understanding, and therefore your interpretation of messages can be different.

“So sometimes you have to agree to disagree, and in that there is absolutely no reason to fall out with each other. There is after all only the One Truth, yet it can be conveyed in several different ways and all are perfectly acceptable.

“In fact you need to guard against trying to be too precise in your understanding, and make allowances for the possibility that you may not have all of the answers.” (20)

He asked us if we expected that an ascended being could do anything other than speak the truth.

“Would you really expect us at our level to tell other than the truth? I doubt it, as you are sufficiently evolved to recognize the truth in what we give you. We are your mentors and in a dimension that you are soon to rise up to, where only the truth exists. It is such that the truth is naturally spoken in all matters, and even if we could speak otherwise it would be immediately recognized for what it was.” (21)

Different sources do different work. His messages, he said, are “intended to prepare you for the New Age.” (21) Like Matthew, but unlike many other communicators, he covered current events as well as spiritual topics, helping us to know what was going on with the dark cabal and behind the scenes with the galactics. Today, I believe, SaLuSa is the most posted and most read of all the galactic commentators.

I recently had a dream in which I was on board a mothership. I distinctly felt SaLuSa’s presence. By coincidence I had a reading with Archangel Michael the next day and related the dream to him and asked if SaLuSa was indeed there. AAM said it wasn’t a dream but a nighttime visit and SaLuSa was there. Apparently we’re meeting with galactics like him all the time and may be surprised to find that we already have a relationship with our favorites.

SaLuSa has been for me a trusted advisor – along with Matthew Ward, Suzy Ward’s Hatonn, and more lately Archangel Michael. He’s what Linda Dillon often calls my “go-to guide.” I’ve come to rely on his estimations of situations for everything connected with the galactics.

Meeting Mike Quinsey at Sedona was a high point for me and seeing what a gentleman he is had me realize how well SaLuSa and the Galactic Federation have been served by Mike.

There have been many ups and downs along the way, but I’ve never felt that SaLuSa and his group of galactic commentators has ever let me down and I look forward to meeting him – to use a word that may be stricken from our vocabulary once and for all in the fast-approaching future – “soon.”

USA the Latest Nation to Receive the Keshe Spaceship Program – FINALLY!

User avatar

Listen up, children… We’ve got that USB stick! Woo-hoo! (was there any doubt?) Does this mean Obama repealed his Executive Order? Can we play nice now in the sandbox of space? Kids!

I think we have just taken another ‘giant leap for mankind’.

We are proud to announce that today 15.11.2012, the Nation of The United States of America has received the USB stick containing all patents and blueprints of nuclear reactor plasma spaceship technology of the Keshe Foundation.

We welcome our American brothers in the family of the Keshe Foundation’s spaceship program and surely we will reach new horizons with the addition of American government and NASA to our family.

Note:

Following My letter offering as a gift the spaceship program to the ambassador of USA in Belgium in late October, on the 6.11.2012 at 3.45 pm I was in receipt of an e-mail in response to this friendly offer from the USA embassy in Brussels.

The content of the e-mail from the embassy confirmed that USA is ready to accept the gift of the nuclear reactor plasma spaceship technology of the Keshe Foundation and in return e-mails immediately the date was agreed as was suggested by the embassy.

Today 15.11.2012 at 3pm at the appointed place the director of the Keshe Foundation and the senior officer of the US embassy met in a friendly and cordial manner and the spaceship technology USB stick was handed over to the government of United States of America.

We have offered the US and NASA our full support for their development and deployment of this technology.

With this meeting and exchange of nuclear technology we hope to bring to an end the lasting apparent animosity between the two nations.

We shall build on this progress to bring peace into space for all nations.

I as the director of the Keshe Foundation and an Iranian nuclear scientist, I thank His Excellency president Obama for ordering such a move by his embassy.

In our meeting we have reached and extended the hand of peace from our side to His nation and I hope this will be reciprocated the same by his Excellency president Obama, now that borders have become meaningless with deployment of this new spaceship program and technology.

I thank the American ambassador His Excellency Mr. Gutman for this most gracious move and I am sure the first steps towards peace between two nations as is the wish of Iran has come to take shape.

With Kindest regards to all men of peace,

M T Keshe
The Director of the Keshe Foundation

SaLuSa: November 16, 2012

2012 NOVEMBER 16
Posted by Andrew Eardley

SaLuSa: November 16, 2012

Channelled by Mike Quinsey

http://tinyurl.com/bpptvmu

Andrew: SaLuSa comments on the great upturn in the amount of Light on Earth which is to our credit and the result of our dedication. He says that the energies of Love are the most powerful in existence and that we will find we can create miracles, particularly in healing, where our abilities will be enhanced after Ascension. He says that the City of Light, Sedona, will become a Mecca for healing of the mind, spirit and soul and that the other 12 Cities of Light will soon follow.

SaLuSa remarks on the rising levels of consciousness and the quality and level of the energies of those near to ascending – he says that there is nothing to stop individual souls ascending early, before 21st December. However, the vast majority are ready to ascend with Mother Earth, as many wished to experience it that way.

He asks us to focus more on the future and think New Age with all of the benefits. Our time will be our own in a life of abundance, though we will find plenty to occupy ourselves and, if we wish to be in service to others, there are many civilizations in our own and in other galaxies in the Universe needing help to evolve.

We notice a great upturn in the amount of Light upon the Earth, and that is to your credit and dedication to have brought so much to it. To some the energies are proving to be too powerful and disorientating. However, as they learn what is actually taking place, they may be able to flow with the energies and experience a higher degree of consciousness.

They may otherwise experience feelings of impending change, without being able to determine what is happening. Whatever happens to them be assured that, like everyone else, they will take something positive away with them. As we have often stated, every experience is of value to you where your evolution is concerned.

Memories of unpleasant experiences will eventually fade completely into the background of your consciousness, and in time be forgotten. Often the only thing that keeps them in your minds, is the pain and distress experienced, but once in the higher vibrations you will cease to bring them back.

The energies of Love are the most powerful in existence, and as you will find can create “miracles” particularly in healing which many of you have a great interest in. After Ascension your abilities to create and heal will be enhanced, and at the same time you will be assisted by the hardening out of the City of Light, Sedona. It will become a Mecca where thousands come for healing of the mind, spirit and soul.

In reality there are millions of people that need some form of healing and help in other ways, and it is why the other 12 Cities of Light will soon follow on. Do not worry that your needs will be overlooked, as we know all of you quite well and no one will miss out.

We monitor the rising levels of consciousness and they are absolutely speeding up at an incredible rate. That is what we like to see, as it is opening more hearts and minds as to what is going on – after all, you may be individual souls but you are also part of a group consciousness. We do not see you reaching critical mass yet, but know it is an indication of how near you are to it. We talk not about the numbers of souls involved, but the quality and level of the energies of those who are near to ascending. If they are ready there is nothing to stop individual souls ascending before the 21st December.

The vast majority of you are in readiness to ascend with Mother Earth, and what an experience that will prove to be. Many souls wished to experience it that way, so Dear Ones consider yourselves privileged to have been amongst those chosen to take part in it.

Some of you are feeling as though you are in a dream state, and that your feet are not firmly on the ground. That feeling will pass as you get used to experiencing the higher vibrations. As a result you are becoming more powerful Light Beings and you are helping other souls rise up.

It is beautiful to see such a lot of interchange of energies, and we encourage a free giving of them to whoever you meet or pass by. A smile or warm greeting is sufficient to open another souls heart, and a handshake or hug a powerful exchange of energies. It is time to recognize the Light in everyone, and see beyond the outer covering. Some ask “What can I do to spread the Light?” so we have given some simple everyday things that you can.

Another useful exercise that will also spread the Light is being open about your beliefs without being overpowering, as otherwise people will switch off. Plant the seeds that will lead to a growth in their consciousness, because as the changes take place they will have many unanswered questions in their minds.

Between now and Ascension we will endeavor to open up new channels of information for you, as we wish to avoid misinformation being spread as the truth. You still need to be discerning because of it, but anyone with a reasonable degree of progress should be sufficiently intuitive now to know what to accept. You make many decisions based on intuition, and that is the best way to move forward at such an important time.

We wish you to start focusing more on the future and what it holds for you, rather than the turmoil resulting from the 3D changes. Naturally for many it is becoming an uncomfortable time, and more so for those who do not yet understand why it is happening. Whatever way you look at it there is so little time left that nothing unpleasant will have to be withstood for very long. So offset it by giving it as little of your attention as possible.

Think New Age and all of the benefits that it will give you, and your release from the trials and tribulations of duality. Remind yourself that you are serving out your last life in the 3rddimension, and in future will have no death to anticipate or experience. It is you who will decide when you want to move on, and simply lay down your body and pass on to your next life, and that will be your choice.

You will find that you eventually live a life where all is in abundance, and that everything is freely available so that no money changes hands. Because of your experience in your present dimension, one thing that will be difficult to comprehend is that virtually all of your time will be your own. However do not worry that you will not find enough to do, as there are far more opportunities in the higher dimensions than on Earth.

In the back of your mind may also be a strong thought that you would like to serve others, and many groups and organizations exist for that purpose. The Universe is vast with millions of galaxies that include civilizations similar to your own, needing help to evolve. Nearer home, within your own galaxy many like yours are also present.

I am sure you are intrigued by our skin-tight space outfits, that we “dress” ourselves in through the power of thought. If they get soiled or damaged the fabric, as you may call it, can put it right through its own level of consciousness. Much is designed that way so it needs no attention from us. Indeed, our organic computers are so programmed that they are completely self functioning, and have greater levels of consciousness than we do.

This is where you get to after 1000′s of years living in the higher dimensions. So believe us when we say that we can handle anything connected with your Ascension. All will proceed as planned, and continue well after Ascension as you benefit from the new energies. We have the priorities sorted out and will have them attended to in no time at all.

I am SaLuSa from Sirius, and leave you with love beaming out to you all.

Thank you SaLuSa

Mike Quinsey

The Coming of the Cities of Light – Part 1/2

2012 NOVEMBER 17
Posted by Steve Beckow

No development on Earth is more fascinating than the advent of the cities of light. I can trace the discussion of them to the middle of the last century. (1) However, it’s probable that they were being discussed long before that.

Genii Townsend has written two books on them and spoke about them at the Sedona conference. (2) SaLuSa said on Nov. 16, 2012 that there are twelve of them. (3) He tells us that they’ll be used to heal millions who need help, even after Ascension. On July 22, 2011, he said of Mike Quinsey:

“Michael has now added Cities of Light to his understanding, as another facet of what is to manifest for souls on the Ascension path. As the weeks go by information of these magnificent cities will become widely known, and you will find that they are technologically advanced healing centres that will totally change you. They will not be the only ones, as there will be many ways available to you that will concentrate on raising your vibrations.” (4)

In 2010, Archangel Michael through Ronna Herman revealed that one of the functions of the cities was to raise our vibrations: “You have opened the pathways to the Cities of Light so that you can gradually incorporate higher and more refined frequencies of Light.” (5)

In January of 2012 SaLuSa told us that the cities were “preparing to make their appearance on Earth.” On this occasion he focused on how “they were examples of what can be done by using our technologies for the good of all.” (6) He described those technologies as they applied to healing.

“Many civilisations of the Galactic Federation will contribute to the task of attending to your needs, and each often has their own specialised expertise. Be assured that before you reach Ascension, you will have healing that is based on Light, Sound and Colour.

“Your earthly ways are often quite crude, but we do not belittle your attempts to cater for all types of illness and disease. A lot of the new methods are understood by you, but usually lack the funding to be developed. Furthermore, there are Corporations in the drug industries that stem any advances that may replace their products and reduce their profits.” (7)

On another occasion, he said that another function of the cities was to introduce us to what life was like in the higher dimensions.

“The Cities of Light of which you are now becoming aware, will give you a sample of what it is like in the higher dimensions. Yet they are more in the nature of Healing Centres specifically prepared to help you raise your consciousness levels. You will take the fast track to remove all the vestiges of your present dimension that have kept you within it.” (8)

A few months ago, SaLuSa described them as integral parts of the process that will convert us into galactic beings.

“Everything you expected to take place will do so, and as progress is made you will find that it will take you further than you thought possible. It will be a wonderful time that will see you relieved of all of the old problems that have held you back. It is time to go speeding forward and move into a new world that reflects your upliftment into the higher dimensions.

“There will be ample facilities, including the Cities of Light, where you can be healed as you are to be fully restored to a prime condition. Eventually you will also be able to reverse the aging process and return to a youthful appearance, and so it will go on until you become a Galactic Being. All of these changes await you and they are not too far in the future. Think positively about them and you will be helping to manifest them much sooner than we have allowed for.” (9)

In Heavenly Blessings on Aug. 30, 2012, Archangel Michael revealed that the cities of light were originally scheduled to be brought here 80,000 years into our future but were introduced earlier when our future wingmaker selves pleaded that they be brought to Earth now.

“In the year that you know as 2000 we began working with you, we began, your star brothers and sisters began, and your future wing-maker selves began working with the Cities of Light.

“And these Cities of Light are not simply etheric forms but let us suggest to you and tell you, share with you that in the beginning these Cities of Light were 80,000 years in your future. The work has been done and it began with a plea, not only from us but from your future selves guiding the actions, the decisions, the choices, the dreams, the inspirations, the desires that you, in human form right now have to create Nova Earth.

“And they begged you to make wise decisions because the decisions that you have made starting at that conjunction and continuing on, almost on a daily basis would affect whether they would come to be in what you think of as a physical reality and existence.” (10)

Recently Archangel Michael named some of them.

“Now the Cities of Light emerge, many are seeing them and they have been forming all over the planet gloriously, yes the first one was ‘The New Jerusalem’, Phoenix to Sedona. But there has been one ‘The Atlantean City of Light’, ‘Terra Tralana’, ‘Idaho’, many, many … ‘Michigan’.

“We have spoken of this when we have spoken to the people of China about the City of Light that is forming there.”
(11)

Which cities was Archangel Michael referring to as emerging or existing over China? In a mid-summer 2012 edition of An Hour with an Angel, he explained:

“One of the most magnificent cities of light is already emerging slightly north of Shanghai, south of Beijing. And this will be a city of light much like long ago in Atlantis, a port where the star brothers and sisters would come for exchange of cultural ideas, technology, art. It will be magnificent. So think of this, look for this, work on this.

“There is also another, a smaller city of light — and it is more of a retreat and a place of healing — near the Mongolian border in the north.” (12)

Is the latter city of Light Shamballa? We don’t know.

AAM says the cities of light can be glimpsed with our physical eyes but are more apparent to our Third and Fourth Eyes.

“This is not simply something a dream. Many of you, yes with your 3rd and 4th eye, but with also what you think of as your human eyes, are seeing and observing, coming into form in your reality, something that you have pulled into your time and space albeit fully anchored in the 7th.” (13)

As far back as 2009, Archangel Michael said through Ronna Herman that “some advanced Souls are [already] integrating small amounts of Sixth-Dimensional frequency patterns (and even higher) via the Cities of Light.” (14)

Thus the cities of light function to heal us and raise our vibrations, enabling us to ascend more easily than otherwise at the end of this year and preparing us for galactic citizenship.

Tomorrow, we’ll continue our study with some extended word-pictures of how the cities of light appear and function.

Rolling Jubilee Works to Abolish Debt

2012 NOVEMBER 17
Posted by Steve Beckow

Rolling Jubilee has been founded to buy back people’s debt at cents on the dollar and abolish it. Sounds like a pretty interesting people’s action project. use your discernment. Thanks to Kathleen.

Rolling Jubileee FAQ

http://rollingjubilee.org/

Rolling Jubilee is a Strike Debt project that buys debt for pennies on the dollar, but instead of collecting it, abolishes it. Together we can liberate debtors at random through a campaign of mutual support, good will, and collective refusal. Debt resistance is just the beginning. Join us as we imagine and create a new world based on the common good, not Wall Street profits.

What is Strike Debt?

Strike Debt is an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street. First started in New York City, but inspired by movements around the globe, Strike Debt now has affiliates across the country. We believe people should not go into debt for basic necessities like education, healthcare and housing. Strike Debt initiatives like the Debt Resistors’ Operations Manual offer advice to all kinds of debtors about how to escape debt and how to join a growing collective resistance to the debt system. Our network has the goal of building a broad movement, with more effective ways of resisting debt, and with the ultimate goal of creating an alternative economy that benefits us all and not just the 1%.

Can you abolish my debt?

There is no way to seek out a specific person and buy that person’s defaulted debt. With 15% of Americans currently being pursued by a debt collector, looking for one person’s debt would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Anonymous accounts are bundled together and sold as a whole. Before purchasing debt, there is only limited information as to whose debt we are buying. These peculiarities are part of the scandal that we are trying to highlight.

Will the Rolling Jubilee have to file a 1099-C Cancellation of Debt form with the IRS?

No. The Rolling Jubilee will earn no income from the lending of money and is therefore exempt from filing a Form 1099-C under the Internal Revenue Code Section 6050P.

What is your mailing address?

The Rolling Jubilee Fund c/o Occupy Wall Street Radio WBAI, 10th floor 120 Wall St New York, NY 10005

Is this legal?

Yes! What should actually surprise everyone is the fact that it is legal to trade in people’s misfortune. As part of the deregulation of the finance industry, the government made it legal to buy and sell charged-off debt.

What is a jubilee?

Jubilee comes from many faith traditions including Judaism, Christianity and Islam. A jubilee is an event in which all debts are cancelled and all those in bondage are set free. It worked in Biblical times and it can still work today. For example, a kind of jubilee happened in Iceland after the 2008 economic crisis: instead of bailing out their banks, Iceland canceled a percentage of mortgage debt. What these examples show is that debts are just a promise which can – and should – be renegotiated or cancelled when the circumstances warrant. Strike Debt believes that now is the time for a jubilee for the 99%.

How Does Rolling Jubilee Work?

Banks sell debt for pennies on the dollar on a shadowy speculative market of debt buyers who then turn around and try to collect the full amount from debtors. The Rolling Jubilee intervenes by buying debt, keeping it out of the hands of collectors, and then abolishing it. We’re going into this market not to make a profit but to help each other out and highlight how the predatory debt system affects our families and communities. Think of it as a bailout of the 99% by the 99%.

Can Rolling Jubilee abolish student debt?

Student debt has surpassed $1 trillion partly because it is one of the most protected forms of debt by federal law. Student debtors can rarely discharge their loans in bankruptcy and lenders have rights to garnish wages and social security payments. The vast majority of student loans have these federal guarantees. We cannot buy these loans because there is no secondary market. However, we believe it may be possible to buy private tuition debt of some sort that is not guaranteed by the federal government; Rolling Jubilee may attempt to purchase this kind of debt after doing further research.
