.You have taught much about our space brothers from nearby planets. But do you know of any interstellar races or species from far away galaxies? I would greatly appreciate your feedback because there is some information “out there” that is difficult to verify. A. I have no doubt that man exists throughout the universe. However, as far as my information is concerned, the Space Groups entering our atmosphere come exclusively from the planets of our own solar system. There are many claims that Space People come to this planet from the Pleiades and other far-off worlds but that is not my information. I think these claims arise because people generally believe (wrongly) the other planets of our solar system are uninhabitable. Q. Please comment on the safety of solar (sun) gazing for spiritual and physical advancement. Short progressive periods just after sunrise or before sunset. A. My information is that it is not safe, that it is not good for the eyesight to focus on the sun for any length of time. Q. I would like to know, from your Master’s point of view, what is the maximum population that is advisable for a city to have in order to function more properly without problems of transportation, pollution, and others? A. Up to 3 million people. Q. I’ve read in your books that a vegetarian diet is one of the prerequisites for taking the first initiation. How strict should the vegetarian diet be for this purpose? Does it mean (1) avoiding eating animal meat and blood only or (2) does it extend to avoiding all food with animal origin like dairy products or eggs as well? (3) What about soups, for example beef or chicken soup (just plain soup without any meat left in it)? Does it fall into the same category as meat and has it the same detrimental effect in relation to initiation as meat? A. There is some misunderstanding in this question. It is true that the first initiation depends on the control of the physical elemental and for many this would mean a vegetarian diet, more or less. However, it is also true that there is no group diet for discipleship. Many regions of the world determine that the inhabitants have a diet rich in animal products. So it depends on the individual, where he or she lives, the necessities of their particular metabolism, whether they eat meat or vegetables or a mixture of both. Q. Is it okay to euthanize an animal? What time is the right time? Do we have the right to do this? A. If the animal is very ill or badly injured, it is a blessing for it to be ‘put down’. Q. (1) Does the decision of some churches not to ordain woman priests and bishops relate in any way to the fact that men and women have different energetic polarities? (2) Is the polarity of the male physical body more suited to the receiving and using of the energy directed through them during church rituals? A. (1) No. (2) No. Q. It has been well-recorded that people who have had ‘near death experiences’ often recall the divine light and feelings of incredible peace and love. They have a ‘review’ of their lives and one question is often asked: “What have you done for your fellow man?” My question is, could the helping of animals be included in “Helping your fellow man”. If “yes”, would the helping of human beings have more importance? Or is just giving selflessly to any being of equal importance? A. Helping other human beings is of major importance. Q. It is my understanding that the Spiritual Hierarchy intervened directly (in the form of President Lincoln) in the American Civil War to preserve the union of American states and enable the US to take its proper role in the Great War of the 20th century. In light of recent state secessionist movements in the US, is there any hierarchical/karmic reason to preserve the American Union as now constituted? A. Yes. It is the United States of America, for obvious reasons, one of the most important countries in the world.
