The Ashtar Galactic Command (or Ashtar Command) is believed to be an extraterrestrial entity according to certain contactees, New Age believers and channellers, including American Ufologist George Van Tassel. According to accounts by such believers, the Command consists of several named beings with distinctly defined roles.
Originally, a single being referred to as Ashtar was described by channeller Robert Short, but later accounts transitioned to the collective Ashtar Command. Two of the most prolific channellers publish the messages they claim to have received from the Command under the adopted names Tuella and Tuieta.
History
In 1977, UHF audio broadcasts from the Hannington transmitter of the regional ITV station, Southern Television, were interrupted by a voice speaking over the nightly edition of Independent Television News (ITN) for approximately 6 minutes. The voice announced itself as Vrillon, a representative of Ashtar Galactic Command and spoke about issues regarding mankind and its spirituality, demanding that all weapons used by human beings be laid down and peace restored. The interruption affected approximately 100,000 viewers in the Hampshire and Berkshire area. No responsible party has ever been found.
On August 19, 2004, Henry David Stites reported that he had channelled Ashtar Sheran, stating that several starships from the Ashtar Command entered their final resting positions in preparation for a forthcoming Declaration of Cosmic Freedom.
Ashtar Sheran
Ashtar Sheran is the name given to the reported leader of Ashtar Command, a benevolent being who is reported to spread messages of peace amongst mankind to prepare it to enter the Aquarian Age. The figure of Ashtar was most notably promoted by George Van Tassel and European contactee, Herbert Victor Speer.
Ashtar Sheran, often refered to as Commander Ashtar is the Supreme Director in charge of all of the Spiritual Program for our planet. In the face of any great divine challenge, the Radiant One chooses one great Man. Ashtar has been that Man. His energies have increased the efficiency of all of our individual responsibilities beyond description and his love for mankind has consistently been his motivation. His spiritual emanations and philosophical teachings have been an inspiration to the planet. His intense devotional nature has been an example throughout all space fleets. His wisdom in lifting the vibrations of the planet while yielding to none in his adamant plea for the respect of the right of man to choose his way without outside interference in his growth. Notwithstanding many great fleets and officers, the thousands who make up the ranks and the souls who inhabit the millions of worlds of this Universe. Under the sponsorship of Lord Michael and the Great Central Sun Government of this Galaxy, Commander Ashtar is second only to the Beloved Commander Jesus-Sananda in responsibility for the Airborne Division of the Brotherhood of Light. Ashtar has been widely known in UFO channeling circles for over three decades. His messages are beamed from a colossal Starship, or Space Station, beyond our atmosphere. He is loved for his deeply philosophical approach to our global problems and his efforts to raise our planetary vibrations. Ashtar speaks of twenty million extraterrestrial persons involved with his Command in the Program for planet Earth, and of another four million on our physical plane, consciously or unconsciously cooperating in the program of Light.
I am told: "The mystery associated with my person is of no consequence to me, but is perhaps of interest to some." I am seven feet tall in height, with blue eyes and a nearly white complexion. I am fast of movement and considered to be an understanding and compassionate leader. I am devoted to the principles and teachings of Our Radiant One and I represent the Twelfth Kingdom and the Great Central Sun Hierarchy. I have been assigned the name of 'Ashtar' by that Universal Hierarchy for use in my calling as Commander of the Intergalactic fleets serving this hemisphere. I have not had a Human embodiment upon planet Earth, as some have inferred. This is incorrect information and should be discouraged. I have consistently been too involved with the affairs of the Universe to accept such an assignment. I am an active member of Councils scattered throughout this Universal Sector, serving in an advisory capacity at strategic levels of intergalactic affairs. "The fleets of Etheria stationed within the Sector known as Schare, represent what is now called the 'Confederation of Planets for Peace'. We are a branch of the greater 'Federation of Free Worlds' which comprises the totality of the Space Commands throughout the Omniverse. While my own administration is local to the Commands of this solar system, I am not restricted to this sector in my service, for I represent our system in the Councils of other Galaxies and Universes throughout the vast Cosmos. From time to time I have been appointed to positions of higher responsibilities in those Councils.
"The Christ Teacher of this Galaxy is my Beloved Commander in Chief, and His Word is my Law. To Him I have pledged my service. I am but a leader chosen by Him, to fulfill the Program of Light on Earth through the winged commands of the Great Brotherhood. Each one of us is an active member of the pact taken by personal vow to serve that Cause." Please become now knowledgeable that the Ascended Master Saint Germain will soon take the seat of Jesus-Sanandra for the next two thousand years. "I feel very impersonal toward the material and am only concerned that this be read by a broad segment of ready souls and that it be given serious consideration. A thing worth saying is worth having repeated. Anything that is worth repeating is worth fixing attention upon. The messages of the past, as well as the present, carry the same burden of concern for Human-kind. We do not change our concern with the passing of time. A call of twenty or even thirty years ago is just as valid this day. Our messages have found a more tolerant audience at this time because of the ongoing exchange. Nevertheless, the need for them is crucial at this hour - not only for a further emphasis, but for the benefit of those who may not have seen them at all. Therefore, in their repetition, further enlightenment will come to those who search at this hour. Be vigilant in season and out of season, to spread the good will of your Brothers and Friends from Outer Dimensions of the Cosmos. We are all the Children of God, together under one banner and One Mission of Light. We join forces to bring this newest effort into manifestation. Regardless of the source, the words are Light, and they are Truth. Regardless of the channel, the nature of the message through the decades as having had a certain theme will contribute to an understanding of our reality and purpose in being with men, to plead with them to experience love and good will toward one another. There are presently many new students awakening with a lack of familiarity of the earliest contacts. Yes, we are proud of the Web-site offered here and Ben-Arion's unweavering efforts to expand and make this happen. "Ashtar Command.net will soon contain more extraterrestrial information in general, needed to support these new candidates in the Mission."
"Ashtar is a Beloved Christian Commander and a very beautiful Being. He is highly evolved in the upper worlds, very influential, and has a great benefactoring influence upon those he leads. The momentum of the vibrations from these Great Space Beings, or Commanders, as they call themselves, is equal to and often beyond the force field even of Ascended Masters, for many have come who are Lords on their own planet, or persons of highest repute in their own galaxies and dimensions." The differences between Space people and Spirit people are very great, although to the cursory glance it may seem that Space people are Spirits. However, it all comes down to a matter of the condition in which we dwell. We are Etheric beings, in your expression. By this, I mean that we live upon a higher plane of existence. We are not discarnate in the sense of having no bodies. We have Etheric bodies which are counterparts of your bodies but which are made of a more tenuous substance, and which are not subject in the same way to gravitational effects. The Etheric state in which we dwell is one of many on an ascending evolutionary scale to which we all belong. Above us, for example, are beings more highly evolved than us by as great a gap as there is between ourselves and you. This is not meant in any derogatory sense towards you, but merely as a factual statement about the scales on which we dwell. Upon our plane of life we have much the same type of existence as you do, although it is free of the corruptions, crimes and undesirable elements which are to be worked out of a being's karmic life before he may pass into the Etheric state. Your Earth is a testing ground - one of many hundreds of thousands of testing grounds in the Universe - where beings evolve upwards on the scale of life, working constantly towards junction with the Great One as the ultimate attainment of all existence.
We upon the Etheric planes pass on to higher planes just as you do from Earth, when qualified. This transformation on your plane is termed death. To us, it is merely a transformer interposed between us and the next level of life to which we will ascend. We will stress once more that the greatest factor in the way of a proper grasp of the true story of life on your Planet is the conception of death as the end of all existence. Nothing could be further from the truth. Upon your plane, you must serve out an evolutionary period before you can ascend to higher worlds. The fleshly bodies which you have are part of a plan to aid your working through this scale of existence. At your level you must endure savage crimes, wars, strife and violence, and the Great One, in His wisdom, has seen fit to use the fleshly body as the most convenient method of taking care of this almost elemental stage of existence. Now then, there are more people waiting to serve out their karmic penalties than there are physical casings, or bodies, to go around. Therefore, there is a special waiting place around your planet for these bodiless entities from your surface. These are Spirit people who are, if you like, in temporary suspension, or their evolution is interrupted, and they are anxious to return to the physical body either to carry out something they left undone, or else, after realizing the truth or partial truth of creation, to become incarnate again and work towards proper passage through Earthly life prior to ascending to higher realms. We ourselves are in bodies of a tenuous but nonetheless real substance, vibrating at a rate much greater than that which prevails on your planet. Those discarnate Spirit people desperately trying to hang on to the Physical plane, are dwellers in a form which cannot go beyond that Astral form without serving out their karmic life in a physical casing of flesh as you know it. Communication is possible, both with us and those Spirit people. But in communicating with discarnate Spirits waiting in suspension between the Physical world and the Astral, you may find that they know but little more than Earth dwellers, and in many cases, not as much. They may have nothing valid to impart. They may even play tricks and jokes upon people contacting them. Therefore we can only suggest that all such communications be done with extreme care and with a reason. Without reason behind it, it is little more than folly.
Commander Ashtar has labored tirelessly to give Humanity guidelines for a better way of life. He acclaims the freedom of Man to choose his pathway without interference. He has repeatedly held council with Ascended Masters Godfrey and St. Germain in the interest of freedom for America, and valiantly stood in the pathway of forces designed to restrict that freedom. But the concern for individual freedom goes deeper than any national principle. It reflects the unimpeachable and inherent right of every soul, the freedom of will to choose its pathway, its mistakes, and its karma. "The Mission to be accomplished is the factor of import and not the spiritual status of the one who serves that Mission. Like all other Brothers and Sisters in the Program of Light, they are not to be worshipped or thought of as Gods or anything of that nature. One can say, we are simply your comrades in the Light of the Radiant One, equal all, in the sight of the Creator. It is regrettable that there is a tendency of Humanity to focus attention upon a messenger rather than upon the message. Overemphasis on personal revelation weakens the strength of the Mission, which is geared to the spiritual growth of Mankind." Ashtar is not part of the 'Fallen Spirits', and though there are individuals not understanding the nature of the gifts that they received and of the nature of the difference between the Physical and Spiritual realms, subscribe that he is of a much higher planet than this, and others subscribe that Ashtar and others like him are those who evolved from this planet, this is not the case with Ashtar or other Herald Angels, who did not take part in the Great Spiritual Revolt, but remained loyal to God and to the Christ. These are the Holy Spirits who are assigned to this sphere from time to time in guiding Mankind back to God. Having never tasted spiritual death, they have always been among the living who dwelled with God. Finally, before this generation is through, you will observe the greatest celestial activity ever witnessed on this Planet, as these so-called 'Clouds of Heaven,' which are merely a condensation of those vehicles, arrive in great numbers and defy your wind as they remain, or oppose it. That is why it is mentioned that Christ's return shall be on the Clouds of Heaven. They are the vehicles, when fully materialized, are great, gleaming, metallic, crystalline vehicles used in the enormous outreaches of the Celestial Realms."
