“Yoshida, I want to know more about the members of the Galactic Federation. Who are they? Where are they from? Who chooses them? And how do we know they are part of the Federation?” I asked.

“They are people just like us. However, the power of their mind is much stronger. In general, people on this planet already possess a higher level of mind power, compared to those on our planet. For example, they can send their thoughts out into the universe to search for knowledge, read others’ minds, see their own past and that of others, influence other people’s minds, and communicate through telepathy with humans, animals, and plants,” Yoshida explained.

“As for us humans who don’t have such skills, we regard the people here as highly evolved beings, or, to use a more common name: as angels. However, the people here regard these skills as normal since they were born this way. Actually, there’s a correlation between our world and this world; most beings who are reincarnated into this world are from our world, and they could do that provided that they have purified their consciousness during their previous lives on our planet,” Yoshida told me.

“And that is the main reason why it’s so difficult for a person to be born here is because very few people on earth have successfully ascended,” he continued. “This also answers your question of why I am not afraid that my daughter would be sexually harassed. And I can truthfully say that if a child were to be borne by my daughter, I would be delighted.”

“Are you saying that this place is heaven? Like the paradise where we get to after death?” I asked.

“All the definitions and depictions of heaven as a utopia or a place where beautiful angels reside, could describe only a fraction of the reality,” Yoshida replied. “Some people who caught a glimpse of this place in their dreams or returned from their brief ‘astral travels’ to tell their stories did not personally experience the life here as you are witnessing it now.”

“Oh! Am I in heaven then? Does the world of angels and gods really exist?” I asked eagerly.

I thought about what had happened in these past two days. Now, I was quite convinced by what Yoshida had said. It was really true. All these landscapes, more beautiful than I had ever seen before, the extraordinary appearance of the people and their simple, yet beautiful way of life; if this place wasn’t heaven, what else could it be?

“Yes, it is!” Yoshida answered my question, “This place is a real physical world, not an intangible one. It is the beginning of an eternal life, so people here don’t die if they are not ready yet. Death here is the finality before they transition to be one with the Source. Therefore, this world also has another name: it’s called ‘The Firmament Border.’”

“You said to ‘be one with the Source’: so tell me, where or who is the Source?” I asked.

“At the Source, our souls are in a state of pure energy, no longer constrained by a physical body. In some cultures on Earth it is taught that the soul goes straight to the Source, but that’s impossible. We need to come here and wait to reunite with our soul family first,” Yoshida explained further.

“And where is that place?” I asked.

“It’s where our souls were created, outside of space and time, and the universe’s cosmic energy field. It’s the beginning and the end of all souls,” he replied.

“As mentioned previously, people here are called ‘the highly evolved beings’. Even though their state is different from that in our world, they regard themselves as ordinary people here. In order to become highly evolved beings and members of the Federation, they have to have special qualifications. Simply put, all ordinary people in this world have the ability to acquire ‘vertical knowledge’. The more power they possess, the broader the knowledge they can gather. But the highly evolved beings possess the power of the ‘vertical mind’. They can create illusions to make others see what they want them to see. They can foresee the future, move objects with the mind, or navigate flying saucers. This vertical mind power can also connect with the knowledge from the Highest Source, in order to directly receive His commands,” Yoshida explained.

“Currently, the main mission of these highly evolved beings is to balance the planetary system, as I’ve told you before,” he continued. “Before your arrival, they had a big meeting to draw up a plan for this mission.”

“The topic for that meeting was the ‘Operation on Earth Crust’s Mass Weight Adjustment’, and it was discussed at length, including the allocation of all responsibilities to be performed by whom, where, how, and when.”

“From now on, their actions will focus directly on managing the plates’ mass and re-balancing the rotation of the earth,” Yoshida made a dramatic pause before he continued, “Those who will be most affected are humans. There will be massive disasters, affecting both lives and assets. Millions of people will be killed and injured. Some animals will inevitably become extinct. Some countries might disappear from the map, and a new land will rise. In fact, this land is not new; in the past, it was formerly the land of a highly advanced civilisation. Soon it will rise again, and we will see it again after almost 10,000 years; and its name is Atlantis.”

“Atlantis! Did it really exist? I thought it’s only a legend!” I exclaimed.

“Every legend has roots from a true story,” he replied. “While most legends are largely inaccurate or distorted, the legend of the fall of Atlantis is true. The catastrophic events that will happen soon are similar to the ones that led to the demise of the legendary city.  It seems that humans are facing the same events, all over again and again.”

“The level of conscience of the people of Atlantis back then had reached its lowest point,” Yoshida explained. “They killed each other, fought each other over land and resources, insanely generated waste in building new technologies to satisfy their way of life, and transferred mass weight from one place to another – and all of these actions are similar to what’s happening now. Most importantly, the people at that time could not transmit positive energy to the core of the Earth,” Yoshida explained.

“The coming operation aims to cut into the Earth’s tectonic plates and rearrange its mass weight,” he went on. “If you listened carefully, you could hear a strange sound that seems to come from nowhere but can be heard in some places on Earth right now. Some say it sounds like a trumpet being played, carrying a lonely, sad and hollow tune. Wherever this sound can be heard, you know that there’s an operation underway of the Earth’s plates being cut. According to the plan, the plates that are cut will be sunk in the ocean or buried in the ground. Some plates will be pushed up and form mountains; some will be turned upside down and bury these wastes. As you can imagine, this will be the biggest catastrophe that has ever happened in the history of Earth.”

“Are you sure that this will happen?” I asked.

Yoshida nodded. “According to the official statement issued by the highly evolved beings, there will be an event happening every passing second on Earth from now on. There will be no period of time in which the Earth will be spared of this operation. The events can happen in many forms, like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the sinkage, separation and protrusion of the Earth’s plates. Or they can occur in the form of storms and cyclones, tsunamis and floods, heatwaves, freezing temperatures, droughts, deadly viruses, and so forth. All these events will result from this planned operation. The frequency and intensity of the operation will gradually increase until the balance is restored, creating severe hardships and trauma for humanity. Civilisation will have to start anew.”

“How can we call these beings ‘highly evolved’? This massacre is sheer blasphemy!” I countered.

“We have to understand two things,” Yoshida continued in a serious tone. “First, the main objective is to set the priority right. The whole system of the universe is immense and extremely important. The highly evolved beings are aware of the sheer number of living creatures and organisms that exist in the universe, and how invaluable the intricate connection of the energy field is for them. If they leave the Earth imbalanced, more disasters would occur. So, they have to intervene. It’s not that they don’t feel remorseful by implementing their plan of operation, but it’s imperative to remove a small tumor in order to prevent its spread to other healthy tissues, thereby, saving the majority.”

“Secondly, the life of the physical body is actually no more than a temporary state of the soul. Life does not end when they die. Death is only a transition from one form to another. Looking at it from a universal point of view, life never really ends.”

“Do you now fully understand?” Yoshida asked me, making sure I could follow.

“Yes, I think I do,” I answered.

“Based on what you said, it seems that the human mind’s ability to access knowledge from the universe is what enables ordinary people like us to develop a higher state of understanding and spirituality, right?” I asked him.

“Yes, but that’s not all,” he replied. “The process of being highly evolved must come from the process of knowing and doing. Do you know what knowing means?” Yoshida asked directly.

“Well, uhh … yes,” I hesitated in answering that seemingly simple question.

“Knowing is understanding, correct?” I randomly answered, thinking I had to say something, at least.

“Bravo!” Yoshida complimented me. “I don’t know how much you really understand your answer. Let me explain a little further. Knowing is understanding, or, in other words: seeing everything as it truly is. I emphasise these two expressions: ‘everything’ and ‘as it truly is’, because it’s crucial for a person to be able to see and understand everything as it is. It’s not possible to rely only on your physical senses, due to the limitations of distance and time. Therefore, to access the knowledge that exists throughout the universe, one has to activate and engage the mind.”

“I think you need to learn and acquire this skill eventually, but not now. My duty is to answer your questions since I’m from the same planet as yours.”

Yoshida paused briefly before asking me; “Do you have any further questions for now? We may only have time tonight, because you will have to continue your journey after breakfast tomorrow.”
