*note: This is a recording of something I and Elia experienced, previously; it is not a current declaration of permission or intention. Also, in the original Telosian, of which this is a translation, “Human” and “Earthling” are the same word; please include both meanings when you read either word.*

I am Elia of Telos, beloved of Elliot and working member of the Council for Human Representation. I am also another expression of the soul currently incarnated as Selene Aswell, Priestess.

I was sent to Ashtar’s command on a journey of Diplomacy. I had experience negotiating on behalf of several Surface countries, who often requested the services of Telosians for delicate matters. We, being skilled in the art of compassion and nonconfrontation, were often sent into normally impossible negotiations. I was part of the party of international delegates who negotiated the cessation of hostilities in the “Holy Land” early in the Crusades. Unfortunately, the treaties were later ignored and tossed aside.War is such a devastating expression of freewill. I do hope humanity will move beyond it soon.

The Reptilian encroachment upon Earth’s people did not go unnoticed by the Councils of Telos. At first, they attempted subterfuge, but quickly became more and more blatant in their desires to control us as they found their presence welcomed by various power hungry people’s of the surface.

This was absolutely unacceptable.

The Telosian Council for Human Representation charged me with the task of identifying those Reptilians responsible for this invasion, as we perceived it. I was to confront them and demand a cessation of their hostilities. Absolutely, under no circumstances were they to be tolerated on our home any longer.

Approaching Reptilian leaders on the surface was distasteful. They looked at me with a ravenous light in their eyes. Though they outwardly treated me with the utmost diplomatic respect, I left every encounter feeling mocked, as if I had been weighed and measured and found delicious but stupid.

Each General (excuse me, “Guru”) assured me he was not qualified to negotiate. He was simply following orders. Frustrated, feeling dirty in a way I had never before, I returned home. After a visit to the healers for purification, I reported to the Council.

“Clearly, this must be taken to the source,” the Council Head, a position which rotated every quarter, spoke with resignation.

But how? we all wondered silently. Our technology, great as it was, had been developed to preserve our lives and our ancient heritage. We used our technology to further our individual and collective spiritual pursuits. We had not been previously interested in space exploration and travel.

Teleportation was an option, but unwise. Of course, even a young Telosian could teleport across galaxies-but ability does not a wise decision make. Abruptly showing up on an unknown planet with unknown conditions inhabited by beings known to be aggressively hostile, while simply dangerous, was also a diplomatic faux pas. One simply did not call unannounced and expect to be respectfully received, let alone successful in negotiations.

Simultaneously, the gathered members felt a gentle request to address the Council from- Lord Commander Ashtar himself? His “fame” proceeded him. Several Telosians had in fact met him, though I had not. He was, however, generally admired throughout Telos as a lightful being serving God’s Will and humanity with impeccable integrity. Children where taught not to lie because Lord Ashtar would not. We honored him because it was common knowledge that he was close friends with Lord Sananda (otherwise known as Yeshua or Jesus). And beyond even that, we knew his special task, charged directly from the Source, was to shepherd the Christ in and out of Earth’s physical plane, until such a day as it is no longer necessary. Not even our eldest and wisest Elder knew of a time Earth had lived without his service. In short, Ashtar Sheran was, and is, a much respected Ally of Earth and all her peoples.

Permission to speak was quickly and gratefully given. Simultaneously, again, we all heard Ashtar speak directly into our minds. He offered to personally escort the chosen Earth Representative to the Reptilian home planet.

Me.

The Council Head graciously accepted. I agreed to leave immediately, as we all felt the situation called for quick and decisive action. Ashtar Sheran specifically asked permission to bring me aboard. A glance to my beloved, Elliot, confirmed he spoke only to me. Even with collective permission, he would not act without my express consent. Such Integrity.

Nodding, my eyes locked with Elliot’s, exchanging love and support. An instant passed. I found myself standing in a corridor of grey curved walls, small bluish lights dotted the junction between wall and floor, as well as wall and ceiling.

I turned and saw the Earth, floating behind me. Resplendent as a blue and white crystal ball. Like Lapis. Confidence surged through me as I felt her smile, her mother’s love and pride for me radiant.

“Thank you,” she said.

“Thank you,” I responded, formally bowing to my home.

I felt another’s presence behind me. Turning, I met starkly blue eyes set in a humanish face and form. He wore a nondescript uniform. He could have been anyone and yet no person had felt anything like this nonEarthian before me.

Bowing, he gestured that I was to walk down the corridor. I followed the bluish lights as they curved to the right. I found myself standing before a door with no handle, which opened immediately.

My dress swirled around my ankles as I stepped into the chamber, the familiar movement a comfort in this foreign environment. He stood facing away from me, his hands clasped behind his back, survaying a huge Earth in the window, or was it a screen?

“Lord Commander Ashtar Sheran?”

He turned, a friendly look on what was clearly the same humanish face that had just greeted me in the hallway. Quite without instruction from me, my feet brought me closer to him. Bowing formally from the waist, he said, “I believe your people know me as Lord Commander Ashtar.”

I curtsied just as formally. “I am Elia of the ClearVoice Clan of Telos; beloved of Elliot of the Pure Hearted Family of Telos. I am the chosen Representative of Earth and all her Peoples to the Reptilian Planet.”

He formally offered his services and that of his crew and ships to humanity and Earth. I formally accepted.

Perhaps he knew I was somewhat nervous to visit the Reptilian homeland, because he suddenly dropped to one knee before me and pressed a gallant kiss to my hand. “My Lady, I will personally see to your safety on this most urgent quest. Please believe no harm or ill will may touch you.”

Blinking, shocked, I could not tear my eyes from his as he stood. Smiling, he clarified, “Is that not how it is done on Earth?”

“Perhaps in some surface cultures. . .”

“And how goes it in Telos?” he asked with good humor.

“Like this,” I said, without hesitation, as I threw my arms around his neck, hugging him wholeheartedly.

Laughing, the greatly respected Lord Commander Ashtar Sheran hugged me back. “After a hug like that, I think you should probably call me just Ashtar, as a friend would.”

“And you may call me Elia.”

“Thank you Elia, for showing me how to properly greet someone.”

“And give assurance.”

“Yes, of course. Now, I suppose we must be off to accomplish our work.”

“Yes, thank you. I do trust you to see me through this experience safely.”

He merely smiled and, tucking my hand in the crook of his arm, led me to the room in which I would journey. I believe we have been friends ever since.

It was around this time that I noticed my other self, Selene, observing me. Smiling, I motioned for her to meld with me, that we may actively share the experience. Her presence was a comfort to me, though I felt her surprise that I saw her.

Melded, I entered a bubble chamber beneath the ships, affording myself an unobstructed 360º view of space. It was breath taking. I was grateful for my telepathic connection with my beloved; I felt such joy that I could share the view with Elliot (though Selene seemed more interested in learning about telepathy then the view).

The ship pulled away from Earth. I remained in the bubble chamber beneath the ship, alone but for Selene and Elliot. We passed Mars and the Sun, journeyed through the Milky Way, and sped past innumerable Galaxies. IN mere moments, we traveled a distance I could not fathom, though physically it felt as if we had not moved at all.

Too soon a planet loomed before me. I felt Selene’s anxiety as she realized where we were, though she did not leave me. The bubble chamber detached and gently brought me to the planet’s surface. A delegation of Reptilians met me outside. There were no signs of civilization anywhere, beyond the presence of the beings around me. Perhaps they used a cloaking deprive to deprive me of any knowledge of their homeworld. The bubble chamber shrunk, but remained around me. Though I assumed I would be able to to breathe on what appeared to be an Earth-like planet, I was grateful.

“Elia of Telos, Human Ambassador from Earth, welcome. And please, join us here outside that contraption. Do you fear for your safety? We assure you, our planet is quite benign for Reptilian or human.”

“I meant no offense-”

“Of course. Beginning diplomatic conversation with a display of trust is key, no?” The hungry gleam in their eyes would have been enough to deter any unwise decision, even without Selene’s firm rejection of the idea as laughable.

“Naturally, my very presence here is a show of trust, don’t you agree? It is for yoursakes that I remain in this sealed chamber. I am new to intergalactic travel and took no precautions to cleanse myself. I would not contaminate your lovely home with some foreign germ or bacteria.”

“An unnecessary concern, now, my dear, do come out so that we may begin.”

“I absolutely will not risk harming any fragile ecosystem.”  The bubble shrunk tighter around me as I moved in closer to whom appeared to be the leader. “Let us speak plainly. I have come to demand your immediate and complete withdrawal from Earth, including your influence on her People. Under no circumstances may your people remain on Earth, nor may your ships orbit our planet.”

“Now, now. What have we done to deserve such hostility?”

“The attempt to subjugate humanity is an act of hostility.”

“We are simple teachers, sharing wisdom with those who choose to expand their realities.”

“If you do not immediately withdraw from Earth, we will take the issue to the Intergalactic Peace Council, which declared Earth a protected planet, as you are, I am sure, aware.”

“Such hasty action, my dear! Tell me, is there not some provision under which we may be granted permission to visit your lovely home and teach your promising people?” Some Reptilian to my right spoke up.

“I suppose, speculatively, you could be granted permission by an Earth Representative, but I absolutely will not do so.”

“I will it.” A man I recognized as an Arabic prince from my negotiations in the Holy Land stepped into my line of sight.

“Kareem! What have you done?” The Reptilian’s increased activity of late made sense.

“I have seized the birthright which your people have denied me.”

“We would give you all our wisdom if you could but demonstrated you have moved beyond impulsive violence and fear. Verily, we have many students; some of your own people have learned much from our teachers.

“You teach only those you deem worthy, and even to them you ration information. The Reptilians have given me all I have asked for and more!”

“It is power you seek, not wisdom!”

“Yes, and they have given me the power to rule as is my right.”

“Please, Kareem, do not trust these beings. There is no love in their actions-”

“Keep your love. I want none of it.”

I would have continued to argue in an attempt to reach Kareem, if Selene had not advised against it. She noticed the glazed look in his eye, clearly he was not in control of his mind or body. She suspected Reptilian “teachers” used implants to subjugate their students and gain more ground.

“Do not judge too harshly,” a reptilian spoke up. “Did not your own people nearly destroy Earth with your ‘impulse to violence’?” Kareem smiled with a malevolence that shocked me.

“Yes, such is the outcome of violence. Which is why we work to teach people of the surface to steer away from a repetition of our past mistakes.”

“Save your prostalizing. I have heard it and I want none of it. Let it be known that I gave permission for the Reptilian–”

“Kareem! You have no right to–”

“And you do?” Kareem sneered. “You have a right to represent humanity, while I do not?”

“I have been selected by the Council for Human Representation–”

“The Telosian Council. You speak not for me.”

“Of course, I speak with consideration for ALL of Earth’s People’s.” A derisive snort. “Kareem, we love you.”

“Keep your love with your proselytizing. It is useless. Let it be known, with Elia of Telos and Ashtar Sheran as witnesses, that I welcome the Reptilian-”

“Kareem! You speak not for all peoples of Earth!”

“Fine. On behalf of the surface peoples of Earth, I hereby give permission-”

“Do not do this!”

“to the Reptilians to Orbit Earth, to live on the Surface, and to interact with Earth’s peoples as they deem necessary.”

“The Subterranean Peoples of Earth do not give such permission.” How did this escalate so far beyond my intention?

“Fine. The Reptilians will keep to the surface.”

“Now, lets not decide everything right now,” a Reptilian interjected, evidently hoping to gain entry below the surface of Earth as well.

Selene shouted a warning as she noticed a Reptilian device, part organic, part machine, boring through the outer layers of the protective bubble surrounding us. Apparently, this was not intended to be a fair discussion.

The instant I noticed the device, I found myself standing before Ashtar on his ship. An instant later, we were orbiting Earth again.

Briefly, Ashtar extended the offer of his services to humanity. I nodded, accepting. Another instant passed and I stood again in the Council room. Elliot had already appraised them to the situation. Telepathically, I replayed the negotiation, if it could be called that.

The Head Council Member immediately issued an emergency recall of every Subterranean currently on the surface, including permission to bring their pupils and any promising persons born on the surface willing to leave immediately.

There has been limited contact between the People of the Surface and the Subterranean Peoples since, (though that is changing now!) Our students however, returned to the surface, to share what Light and wisdom they could.

I am Elia of Telos and I have recounted my experience as closely to the truth as possible. I tried my best to serve the greatest good for all involved. I believe we all grew as a result of this exchange, though I wish the outcome had been other than what it was.

It is with Love in my heart and intention that I continue to serve Earth and ALL her Peoples.
