All right, here goes a first thread.
My name is Durabone, and I am an engineer by trade. I thought I would share something I discovered tonight with the SOTT readership, and perhaps also benefit from some of your feedback (thanks in advance). Decide for yourself, is this a major falsehood discovered in the Phoenix Journals?
I first became aware of the phenomenon known as the “Phoenix Journals/Liberators” way back in 1997. AKA “Contact - a Light in Every Mind,” the journals were both a newsletter (more like a newspaper) and a series of paperbacks that seemed to summarize excerpts from the papers. Find them here:
_http://www.phoenixarchives.com
One of my hobbies is studying conspiracy theories, so for a number of years I have attempted to catalog and survey some of the major themes that have under-penned “normal” publications, so to speak. As an observer of the Phoenix phenomenon, I was impressed by the sheer volume of information flowing from the source. I also found that the tone set by the leader “Commander Gyeorgos Ceres Hatonn” was charming. This is another one of the “space brotherhood thingies” - but not quite. This particular version has been largely silent about the “Ashtar Command,” yet they do feature both the Sananda (Jesus returned) and Germain characters. Hatonn is in orbit above us with penetrating computers that allow him much interesting stuff to say in the way of commentary on modern news stories. He explains that his name is built from the archaic ‘Aton’ (God).
Given the gushing reams of information, I guessed back then that at least a dozen well-funded people must have been involved, maybe more. Most notably was the saga of one George Green who dithered them direly, first as comrade, then as assailant.
So I decided to examine a bit more, and ordered what appeared to be a smattering of their work, including two of the paperbacks that appear to hold special place in this particular religion, “The Sipapu Odyssey,” and “The Rainbow Masters.”
For those that don’t know anything about this business, I could summarize it by saying that a woman known as Dorushka Maerd (some say her real name is Doris Eckers) channels the space brotherhood, and writes it all down. Thus the journals are presented as a series of channeling sessions, each with a date and time. They gained great traction for a while, I first heard of them from an 87 year old.
The exception to all of this is the “The Sipapu Odyssey” (due to be made into a feature film, blah blah blah). In this tale, we find the beginning of the saga, where a car crashes off of the road near Tehachapi, California. Only, instead of death awaiting the passengers at the bottom of the canyon that they sail down in to, they find waiting aliens who take them aboard their ship.
“The Rainbow Masters” seemed to be one of the less newsy paperbacks, perhaps one of the spiritual centers for their pantheon. It was the last one I read, and the only one I kept. I had almost forgotten about them, though I checked in several years back, to find that they had been driven from the US, and landed in the Philippines. I have done nothing to check on their status currently.
What did happen last week though, made my head turn around. I ran across a book entitled, “Secret of the Andes.” The backpiece spoke of the “Seven Rays.” Hmmm, I’ve heard that one before. “The Rainbow Masters” also spoke of seven rays. So I ordered the book, and tonight sat down and skimmed it.
“The Rainbow Masters” by the Masters, A Phoenix Journal, published 1993
-vs-
“Secret of the Andes” by Brother Philip, published 1961
I held both books and compared them:
RM: “The Esoteric Colors of the Rays are Red, Light Blue, Green, Yellow, Indigo, Rose, and Violet.
SA: “The Esoteric Colours of the Rays are: (1) Red, (2) Light Blue, (3) Green, (4) Yellow, (5) Indigo, (6) Rose, and (7) Violet.
This was the first in a series of direct matches between the texts. Many other paragraphs matched verbatim. Definitely something going on here, but I’d better not say anything even loosely resembling libel.
So I asked: hypothetically if the latter text has the prior as a source, then what alterations were made, and to what end? Well, intent is nearly impossible to gauge, so lets us stick with the hypothetical alterations that could possibly one day be established to be, "the facts."
If "Secret of the Andes" is in fact the source for "The Rainbow Masters", then:
1) RM inserts the concept of Sananda entirely. SA mentions Jesus Christ only.
2) Many places where SA spoke of God were altered to insert the notion of a retributional God who will judge and punish.
3) Sentences were added that probe the reader’s morals and state with God.
4) The parts of SA that mention the coming of a new age on Earth were adapted to fit with the new age claims of the Phoenix Journals.
5) Mention of the “Great White Brotherhood” was altered to “Council of the Great White Hierarchy (Lighted Brotherhood).”
6) Precise and surgical editing of the text was done to slant meaning in some places, while other places were presented exactly intact.
7) A laundry list of others ...
The RM text is given entirely as channeling of the space brothers, and in this case the channeling of a dozen plus different personas, including Aton (God himself). There is no credit given to SA as a source, except scant mention that Sananda was trained in Peru. The “Monastery of the Seven Rays,” described by SA is (small wonder) stated to be in Peru.
So there you have it. If - and I do emphasize “if” - one of the main central works of “The Phoenix Phenomenon” is a lie, then what does that say about the trustworthiness of the rest of their writing? If it is a lie, then either the channel is lying about the channeling, or the "beings" she is channeling are lying to her.
Either way = Phoenix Journals, you are BUSTED.
Anyone know anything about this?
(Probably posted before, apologies for not searching first).
