THE COUNCIL OF THE TWELVE

The columns supporting the building gave it a majestic look. Despite the fact that they were simple, the proportions, colors and what emanated from it helped trigger a feeling of respect in whoever entered. Everything appeared gigantic compared to the other buildings visited. As we followed the Wise man down unending corridors, I had the feeling of walking through a maze, but in a totally purposeful and deliberate way. Sometimes, I had the curious impression of going upwards in a spiral to an upper level so far away I could not even picture it. What a feeling of vertigo! I had simply lost my bearings…

“This is an airlock whose purpose is to cleanse you, as you make your way, of all the physical or subtle debris that you might have stored up until now. The path you’re following is not dictated by chance, it’s one that’s helping you, like a labyrinth, reach a deeper, often abandoned part of you.”

I heard a voice but which I did not recognize. It rang in me like an echo and I let myself be guided by its powerful sound. “Keep walking and just listen to your heart’s voice. Your friends have already reached the destination. You’re all by yourself here, and we’re waiting for you.”

The voice stopped and I was a little lost in this huge, majestic corridor of light, when suddenly I was faced with a choice of several paths. There were three other corridors which all looked more or less the same. How could I choose the one that would lead me to those who were waiting for me? I felt uneasy and a feeling of doubt overtook me; what if I were to make a mistake, where would I end up? Would the experience stop? I brushed the idea aside and focused on the sole purpose of that moment: finding those people I did not know, but whose presence I could feel so strong. My mind came back in a second wave: “Try the corridor to the right, you know that right always has a positive and active meaning” it said. I turned over different solutions in my mind, but could not come to a decision. Not knowing what to do, I remembered that the voice had talked about my heart… My heart, my intuition that I had totally forgotten. I listened carefully not to what was happening outside of me, but, this time, inside me. At first, I was a little disappointed, because all I could hear was a buzzing sound, but this gradually became lighter, keener and faster. It rippled and became a wave that flooded me in its transparency. I raised my head and opened my eyes again.

The corridors were still there, but this time different, a subtle difference coming solely from the quality of energy they were emitting. Without the slightest hesitation, and beckoned by the diaphanous colors, I went confidently forward down the central corridor, while, behind me, the two others disappeared.

This time, the path way easy and I came out in a majestic, domed room, whose vaults were translucent. There was a soft light coming from somewhere I tried to pinpoint. In the middle of the vast room, in the center of the dome, the sphere of the crystal of life and energy I had seen in various rooms in the mother-ship was suspended. This was the biggest and brightest I had seen and it gave out an almost palpable energy.

Around this sphere of great dimension were twelve seats where beings sat, the sight of which filled me with joy. I recognized some of them whom I had seen during my different experiences on other levels of consciousness; one of them belonged to a group of great beings who maintained a beneficial wave around the Earth that kept it alive. With six other great beings, he helped the planet Earth by emitting a sound, whose sole vibration enabled life to continue. He was one of the inhabitants of what some call Shambhalla, even if the current name, as yet unknown, is different.

“Welcome! We wanted you to attend part of this special council meeting for we know that on Earth, some will use what is going to be said for beneficial ends. However, we also know that others will denigrate and destroy what is said… But we don’t have a choice anymore, and waiting would mean we accepted that the veil of ignorance once more covered the Earth, and for times that you can’t even begin to imagine.”

The Great Being fell silent and in his eyes I discerned immense tenderness that was not just for me, but everything such a look covered. At that precise moment in time, I was convinced that, through its warmth, such a look could infuse life once more into the most inert material!

The person who spoke to me was tall and fair-haired. His hair was shoulder-length and he was wearing a robe of cerulean blue. The nobleness and the strength emanating from him were obvious and had nothing to do with his clothes or physical aspect. It was something that came from deep within him. He beckoned me to move toward the sphere in the center of the room.

When I looked more closely at the assembly, I could see my three friends seated in extra seats, slightly set back from the twelve armchairs. A very specific wave I had difficulty in understanding with my regular ways of detecting things flooded the room.

“We owe you a few explanations,” continued the fair-haired being. “You are in the Council of Elders’ room. Our mission is to meet on a regular basis to make important decisions regarding the different planets surrounding us. These meetings take place alternately on one or another planet of the Alliance in a similar room. The representative of the host planet presides over the debate, which is why I have that honor today. What you’re seeing here is very special in the sense that it is not a meeting of the Council of Twelve of the planet Venus but an interplanetary meeting.

We all represent a particular planet, which explains the physical differences among us.

“We have three kinds of councils: the Council of the Twelve of each planet only takes place with the representatives of the planet in question, even if exceptionally visitors from other planets attend. The second Council of Twelve makes decisions related to planets of our solar system. This is what you are seeing today. The third one -the rarest- concerns the twelve representatives of various solar systems.”

The beings present looked very different from one another. Those who most looked like us were the representatives from Venus, Jupiter and Mars. The Earth’s representative was the one I had recognized in the first place, for I had seen him years before during an experience that allowed me to contact seven great beings in permanent vibratory contact with the Earth.

The fair-haired being who seemed to be chairing the session showed me a seat that, like those of my friends, was slightly set back. My seat was close to his and I sat down immediately.

“You’ve certainly noticed that there are six beings of feminine energy and six of masculine energy. This is respected at all meetings, because we still live in worlds where masculine and feminine are not yet totally unified. It is therefore essential that the two polarities are present because they are totally complementary.”

The session was about to begin, when a very peculiar sound, coming from each of the planetary representatives, filled the room. The wave undulated and became almost palpable. It went from heart to heart, swirled and formed arabesques, before finally stabilizing in the heart of the crystal sphere shining with life. Bursts of light came from it, reaching the hearts of the participants. I felt myself filled with infinite gratitude at the spectacle of so much beauty. Just one of these particles of light would suffice to heal our sick planet. I dreamt of a world where everything would be more beautiful, where beauty and harmony, sisters of joy and love, would have pride of place.

“This is not a dream and many planets have already achieved this. The Earth is just lagging behind a little!”

It was my friend the Wise man who was sending me this telepathic message in a cheerful tone. I looked over toward him and he smiled at me knowingly.

One of the twelve took the floor and spoke with a resounding voice:

“Today’s Council meeting mainly concerns the Earth, because this is the planet we are looking to help during these difficult times. We are all hundreds of your years old and have seen many changes on the Earth. You’re aware that this is the planet’s fourth incarnation. Those living on and in it are now ready to access another level of consciousness. But we know that some beings have no interest in humans and the Earth becoming part of the confederated planets of the Alliance. However, no one is bound to be enslaved forever and those on Earth are capable of freeing themselves if they really want to. But do they?

“This question implies an answer, but the “yes” is often intellectual. I mean that setting oneself free from the heaviness created to enslave humans requires an immediate, constant and profound action. The lead blanket currently weighing on the entire terrestrial sphere is making things more difficult. Where I am concerned, I intervene in everything to do with discoveries, scientific research and especially technological advance but everyone’s lethargy is so deep that people on Earth don’t even notice it! They spend a lot of time spying on each other, coveting this or that discovery, without realizing that this attitude only serves the beings of power that want to enslave them.

“So, what are we proposing? I need all of your advice, brothers and sisters, because the moment of change is approaching fast!”

Each person in the assembly seemed moved by deep meditation or introspection which lasted until one of the twelve with a feminine energy said:

“All of us here know the risks incurred for all the planets of the solar system because of the immoderate and thoughtless experiments that are currently being carried out on Earth. We cannot intervene because that would be contrary to the law of evolution. When I say intervene, I refer to actions carried out in an authoritative way. Having said this, we have manifested our presence for the good of all many times in the past. Today, each has representatives among humans. Here, all of you know me for my role as representative of the smooth relations between the various planets. On Earth, systems that their builders think sophisticated and perfected are in place to pick up signals or messages we might send. They forget that these devices, however accurate they may be, cannot contact us. Their waves are too heavy for us to be able to leave translatable signs. These builders must simplify their sensors considerably and take primordial sound and time-space into account when building their devices. It is also essential that they take into consideration the energies of the location where they place them, but also the shape and the numbers on which they build these sensors.

“I think communication should soon be possible with those on Earth, at least soon enough for them to become aware of other realities and so avoid plummeting into a corrosive lethargy.

“Some of us are already communicating with people on Earth, but how much secrecy and problems are involved in all of this…”

“I believe she’s right and, on our planet too, we’re optimistic about the final outcome. I direct the intergalactic fleets and the monitoring system of planets, including the Earth. Earth people are children: they don’t imagine for one second that while they’re fighting for pieces of land or illusory prerogatives, they are jeopardizing the essence of their beings. They don’t imagine that around the Earth and in the Cosmos, there is also a struggle, not about bits of land or racial priority, but about the Life of a planet and its continuity or dissolution.”

The being who had taken the floor was draped in a long robe. His broad build, sallow complexion and practically shaven, oblong head gave him a strong and resolute appearance. Just as the feminine energy had brought me optimism and sweetness, the new speaker reassured me and gave me a feeling of security. I decided to trust them, not so much because I wanted to but out of an invasive feeling which there was no point in resisting.

The being with the sallow complexion continued:

“Present-day struggles on Earth are poor caricatures compared to the stakes outside this planet, but humans are simply unaware of this, much to the delight of certain galactics! They hope the confusion will be such that nobody will be able to trust anybody. In this way, they alone will provide temporary satisfying solutions that will quickly enslave human beings.

“We have all put a lot of hope in planet Earth because what it can offer is fabulous, but will those on Earth accept to unite and go beyond their difficulties, act in common cause and escape from the prison in which they find themselves? For me, the issue is at this level. We can’t achieve anything substantial without the participation of the inhabitants of Earth; this is the only way that the planet will overcome the obstacles it encounters and make the transition. If such is not the case, it will go down the road on its own.”

His last words resounded in me like a verdict.

The being with the oblong head stopped, and a profound silence followed when, tearing the veil that was settling, the soft, deep voice of an androgynous being resonated deep down within me:

“I too would like to express how I feel because, as a therapist, for centuries my mission has been to advance the knowledge of the physical and subtle bodies of beings from all planets, but also the knowledge of the mechanisms that on Earth are called psychic,” he said, turning more specifically to me.

“Because of this, I can see that a part of the Earth’s population is changing, which suggests that there will be a quick raising of awareness and consequently a turnaround in the current situation. The emotional abyss seems to strip away any notion of clear insight in the Earth’s population and only those working for power seem to have mastered the field of the emotions; but behind all of this, I can perceive the blooming of a flower that surpasses anything known to date in beauty…”

During this pause, we were all ears.

“The flower that is about to bloom is a high-level mix of emotions. Combined with reason and the heart, it will give a peerless form of love and power! Some humans are ready to love at their heart’s pace, but they don’t know how and their attempts are sometimes so clumsy that the people acting that way seem naive.

“Today, combining the heart with reason is a difficult exercise, and most people get lost because the human spirit is complicated; beautiful and simple sometimes has a pejorative connotation. It’s up to us to emit forms that will allow humans to understand what simplicity really means! Some of my collaborators are already on a mission on Earth to spread this type of knowledge. Scientists and researchers on Earth already know how to suppress interfering waves from the brain, how to remove part of the memory to develop a more profitable one, how to take away memories and substitute them with others and how to remote-control their own kind. For this, they are helped by humanoids who are hybrids between beings of some planets and humans. Among other things, these genetic distortions produce beings cut off from any feelings whatsoever. At least this is the aim… But, as gifted as they are, scientists have forgotten an essential element: a creature of any form whatsoever, always has within itself a divine spark that doesn’t depend upon its original creator. No one can predict what might awake from this particle of love. Without love there is no creation and life cannot exist, but if life implies the existence of just an embryo of love, then the major risk is to see it reactivate at all times and become uncontrollable.

“Those on Earth think they will be able to control everything one day, but the very principle of life is uncontrollable because it doesn’t belong to anyone. My hope lies in this direction because whatever happens, at the bottom of each life, there is life and love that open a door to freedom.”

The beautiful androgynous being sat down and the assembly smiled. I felt that, gradually, after everyone had spoken, the situation seemed to present one or several outcomes. I looked at the Earth’s representative, who, like all others, went toward the sphere and stood close to it. His voice could be heard and his emotion-free words gave off soothing colors.

“It has now been millions of years since we have taken the Earth under our protection. It is now time to give complete autonomy to its inhabitants, like when a parent lets go his child’s hand, so he or she can finally walk on their own. My brothers of Shambhalla and myself think this moment is not far off. Those on Earth now have enough knowledge to go down their own road, which will be what they make of it, but what we are proposing here is not abandonment, but an act of confidence and love toward beings who have been journeying for a long time.”

These last words were directed at me and, deep down, I understood what he meant. The voice continued:

“You know that, helped by beings from other worlds, people on Earth have foreseen the possibility of a planetary catastrophe. To protect themselves from destruction, they are preparing kinds of spaceships that will take them to different planets to save what they think are precious lives!”

I could see in the great being’s eyes a spark of humor when he said this.

He continued:

“Thus these humans think they’re preserving what seems to be important to them by colonizing other worlds. They’ve just forgotten one thing: technology which does not follow the way of the heart, is nothing more than an empty shell and the worlds they reach will simply be shells with no soul!

“Whatever the bases of the planned colony on any planet where they think they would be safe, they will only reach planets that have been dead for a long time. Only love will allow them to regain contact with the life of the various worlds surrounding the Earth. There’s no hiding or running away from oneself, and what is not solved on Earth won’t be solved anywhere else, until humanity looks for hope and life outside of itself.”

The Earth’s representative sat down and a being of a broad build wearing a long robe with a belt stood up in turn. Formed by a magnificent stone with purple reflections, the buckle of his belt sparkled with a thousand lights. The almost tangible light that emanated from it undulated and joined each of the participants, thus forming a circle of light uniting hearts with each other. At the very moment the flash of light reached my heart, I felt a unity I had never felt before. Difficult to describe the peace, joy and calm that flooded all the particles of my soul. Instantly, I felt myself in the heart of each of the participants, I was them and me, not different and united, but ONE. I was part of a Whole that I couldn’t describe. I was a spark that lived in such an ardent way that our strongest emotions, our greatest sensations seemed caricatures of life!

The being spoke. I was sure of this but could not hear the words. Only waves reached me, speaking of life and hope, and everything seemed well-founded. However it manifests itself, life is awesomely right, from its biggest realizations down to its tiniest details. I understood that this being was giving information to which I did not have the access key.

My guide got up, followed by my hosts who beckoned me to follow them. We were about to leave the room, but before I had time to get up, a little man, sunk in his large seat, gave me a wonderful smile and said these few words:

“The planet Earth is one of our current concerns because the choice you are going to make is an essential one. Soon you will be able to join us or start everything over again but be assured that whatever happens and whatever your choice is, the strength of our Love will always be at your side.”

In the sparkling eyes of the small being with a round head, there was hope, so tangible that all the knots created by a situation with a hopeless future disappeared, dissolved and gave way to boundless confidence! At that point in time, I was filled by joy when I thought of the Earth, a deep and serene joy without any question about the why and how of a future which is an eternal present renewed.

“The presence of each human being is very important at this pivotal moment of life on Earth. Don’t neglect this. You don’t need a store of knowledge or numerous exercises for that; all you need are your consciousness, your attention and your smile to work miracles. Simplicity is a difficult art in a world where masks have gradually covered your true nature. This is one of the reasons why you find it difficult to communicate outside of yourselves, but also to communicate with yourselves. Be true and, little by little, by accepting and loving yourselves, you will dissolve the rust stains that still prevent you from making headway, because you are getting to know yourselves. There’s nothing difficult in what I’m saying here, but your mind will translate it to you in a complex way, until the day when, being unable to cling to any established knowledge or bearings, you will be facing yourselves, naked and alone.

“When this moment comes, you’ll know you live in the body of the Divine, that you breathe particles of the Divine, that each of your cells is nourished by this Divine and that this Divine is also and totally You. Then will come the awaited moment of Union. Then will come the Sacred Instant where you will no longer do, because you will Be…”

The little man now fell silent and, this time, the twelve people placed their left hand on their heart and smiled at us as a sign of farewell.
