“The law of the unity of opposites is a fundamental law of the universe.”
A quote from the movie “Zardoz”.
There is a rush taking place around us as the winds of change reshape the world with the force of a tornado threatening to disrupt the link we maintain between our higher self and lower one. It's at those times one must remember that there is always an eye of calm in every tornado where one can find safety at its center by bringing those two halves closer together. The peace of mind needed throughout the learning process the future can bring will come with that joining. The opposite is the chaos which takes place when impatience, anger and fear are allowed to run rampant instead. It’s the maintaining of a calm state of being that this editorial addresses and how easy it is to lose that calm when the events of the world threaten to to overrun it completely. Too often the stress of a job or school affects concentration or the commute to work is more than can be endured. It’s then that the duality of one can be experienced when the suddenly increased mental strain meets the controlled and patient self. Many books and speakers will often advise to use one of the three M’s, music, mantras or meditation to unify the two. We’d like to offer another, the M in moment and the love for each of them as they are experienced throughout the day.
There are no accidents in life nor coincidences, mistakes or luck. Everything happens as it is supposed to which can be a source of confidence knowing that whatever needs to be faced is there for your benefit. We are all an intermingling of cosmic dust that has been people, mountains, oceans and all the creatures living or dead throughout the history of the planet. We are the world is not a euphemism but a truth best expressed when meeting someone new. You are looking at a part of you in everything material and if that can be fully comprehended from an appreciation standpoint, you can see things through the eyes of the creator or beings of a much higher dimension. All these factors make up a moment and are more than enough reason to love each one as each is a step closer to growth on a personal level. The vehicle of the human body created through the miracle of birth houses the consciousness we use in interacting with our fellow humans. The higher self that never dies houses the super ego we use to raise that consciousness to a level ideally suited to face the challenges those winds of change can bring. Both make up the self higher and lower that needs to be recognized and integrated.
As the end of an election cycle ends, divisions abound about what the future holds. Changes in the political landscape call out for a coming together at a time when the very opposite is dominating the mass consciousness of the planet. On the bright side, one could not ask for a more ideal learning environment and one lesson the world could learn is that the thoughts of one or more people can have an effect on the physical world even though science has yet to prove that fact to its satisfaction. An organized and trained group of people working together in harmony can achieve more than one person acting alone and the bigger the group, the more energy can be directed at the group's focus. A technique to unite that focus has been included through the channelings from those on the Base called a meta-concert where groups of five or more can act with one mind and one purpose as long as that purpose is of the highest intention. Individuals trained in the various positions of a meta-concert could step into whatever role they felt worked best for them or who's skills would achieve the goals of the group. Generating that symbiosis between the participating minds could initiate a breakthrough in the field of psychic development once the results could be demonstrated to a skeptical public.
In the meantime, unifying the duality between the two selves can be thought of as a change for the better one thought at a time. It’s to that point it’s more imperative than ever the world work together to at least slow what could easily be a second Atlantis but on a worldwide extent this time instead of a single continent if certain tipping points are reached through global warming. These are lessons that must be learned and have to be accepted minus the fear and anger such a fate instinctively generates if all stays the way it is. It all comes back to that cosmic dust. That it has formed into molecules structured in such a pattern as to form the human body and the world around us suggests a larger pattern at work calling us higher. Blending spirituality with physicality is the answer to that call, the call back to the one and we have a suggestion to offer on how to make that a whole lot easier if it becomes too big a challenge. In fact appropriate to the season, Charles Dickens expressed it best in “A Christmas Carol” where it was superbly pointed out that one should always live as if one had already died, regrets can come once we've moved on to the waiting period when it's discovered they were all part of a larger plan at work and should have been called the lessons they really are.
In love and life as ONE.

This is an analogy familiar to anyone who has taken a trip on a cruise line and it revolves around the captain’s table, an invitation only dining experience where those lucky enough to receive such an invitation would find themselves dining among the people who keep the ship running. The selection process is random with it normally going to guests who have amassed many hours at sea with a particular cruise line. To look at the deeper meaning of this scenario, let's say the table is on a cruise ship we'll call third dimensional Earth which would be synonymous to the real world we wake up to every day. As with every cruise ship, there are a mix passengers and crew with the majority of passengers outnumbering the crew by a substantial margin, this is all about that margin. What defines a passenger on this cruise is someone enjoying the trip but not taking the time to delve into what makes the the cruise ship run. A perfect example would be my mother whose only major contribution to the planet was to meet my father so that I could be born. She was a person with deep religious convictions who worked until retirement and died safe in the knowledge heaven would be her final reward as she was welcomed through the pearly gates by Jesus himself. That knowledge brought her through her life and it will take her into her next one where the cycle will start all over again except that in the waiting period, she'll find out how things really work and hopefully will try to pass on what she learned.
The typical passenger on a real ship is looking to use the cruise to relax while away from a job or school and knows that while all that may be waiting, there is nothing to do in the meantime except enjoy the ports the ship visits, eat the fantastic food prepared by teams of cooks night and day, work off the weight from that food in the gym, jogging track, basketball court or dance the night away at any one of the many nightclubs. Pools and jacuzzi’s help to sooth sore muscles or one could schedule a masseuse to work out the kinks while letting go of all the cares in the world. If they should get tired of the main dining room, specialty restaurants abound with tastes from around the world and staff specialized in serving their selections to perfection. The only bad thing to be said for all this pampering? You definitely don’t want to be a passenger. It’s fine to enjoy the trip, be comfortable in the experience and revel in the indulgences but the real heroes of this analogy are the staff, those who paid the same amount to be on this trip as the passengers but get to do the all work helping to bring this ship to port. Saving the port's location for later, there's nothing to say that the work the staff does is hard or that they can't have as much or even more fun than the passengers. For them it's a labor of love and something they feel drawn to pursue.
Metaphorically speaking, this cruise has been going on for so long, no one can even remember when it was they even came on board. Since then for most people, it has been an endless series of buffet lines and live entertainment with the ship rarely stopping and when it does, it is to let crew off before taking up the trip again. Every time the ship stops, beautiful ports of call lay almost within arm’s reach but the only way to get to shore is to be a part of the crew and that means working with the ship instead of just enjoying the trip. That can sometimes be a challenge as there always seems to be new inducements to stay a passenger forever appearing almost on a daily basis. There is now WI-FI around most parts of the ship and the entertainment options are completely staggering. Where once the choices of how to fill a day were fairly limited, now there are water parks, driving ranges, VR headsets and social media. There are also though worries about the ship taking on water and a number of passengers have become too alarmed to enjoy the trip while elsewhere, passengers in a few of the compartments are constantly bickering over politics and closet space. Inevitably everyone reaches a point on a personal level where they decide the trip has gone on long enough and it is time to see what is available off the ship. That is when that person would get up out of their seat at the captain’s table and become a part of the crew serving those still seated.
Now as a part of the crew, they would take on any tasks that they were best suited and take advantage of their unique talents. This was a fairly new ship even before all the upgrades with the passengers and crew just getting their sea legs in comparison to the beings at the ports the ship passes. Those ports are other worlds, galaxies and dimensions some of the crew get to visit and tell of their wonders. One task a crew member might choose as their form of service may be in sharing what they have learned about those ports with the other passengers who may then get up from their seats to join in the servicing of others. As the table starts to have less and less people sitting and more empty chairs, the serving of just the crew becomes easier and a lot more fun. It could even come to be that everyone will eventually decide to serve instead of sit and at that point the cruise will finally come into port to let the crew disembark to enjoy the wonderful future waiting. That's a long way off with plenty of storms to steer clear of but in the meantime, there’s plenty of time to study and prepare from the ship’s extensive collection of library archives on how best to interrelate with those higher dimensional former passengers once that gangplank finally gets lowered.

Every day we learn of some new danger that can kill us or reminded of some impending global catastrophe threatening our lives and every other living thing on the planet. But what if that wasn’t the case? Imagine the sudden loss of both your eyesight and hearing with the resulting lack of incoming sensory data from those organs. There would be some time period involved making adjustments to your new world with only a previous knowledge of the world before darkness and silence descended. Now imagine if the loss of sight and hearing took place at birth. Taste, smell and touch would be your only way of interacting with the world but what kind of world would your mind’s eye see before it? You would basically have to create your environment from your remaining three senses and what those assisting you who could see and hear gave you as information to build on like a puzzle, fitting each piece so you could integrate into the rest of society. Now what if they decided to hold off informing you of those threats the rest of us take for granted and only gave you their version of a perfect world?
Labeled disabled, the challenges faced would be character building tests with the ability to bring out the very best in a person if perceived that way. The imagination would have to replace sight and sound so anything the mind could conceive becomes a mental simulation of which only a small portion will correspond with what is really there. If instead of a handicap a person were to see it as an opportunity, the world they built with their mind might instead turn out to be their biggest advantage in overcoming the feeling that they did not fit in with the world around them. Those of us who can see and hear have solid definitions our mind associates for each of the items of our reality but not so for those without such senses. Disabled? Maybe in their ability to transit from point A to Point B easily but the freedom they lack in movement would be compensated by the freedom of imagination relied on to bring their reality to life. In their mind, until told differently, theirs would be a planet of peace and harmony.
In a similar way, we too bring our reality to life with our imagination by using it as a tool to remodel our future to the one we desire. It is not the physical world we are shaping with our imagination so much as ourselves in the self-image we see reflected in the mirror of our mind. The constant drive for improvement changes that reflection with our decisions and actions and at the same time changes the world around us as a consequence. The key to all this change is a simple smile, differing only in width or replaced with something more appropriate to reflect critical emotions. The importance of this cannot be stressed enough for no matter the mood, taking on any situation is always initiated best when a smile precedes you into a room. Not just a smile to change up your features but a genuine feeling of happiness exuding from you like the warm glow of a fire. Even if you were deaf and blind, it would not keep you from being able to share that happiness to the fullest.
Now achieving that happiness takes reminding oneself that those things affecting you personally are all important for growth. The bigger things like global warming, mass pollution, the war on terror and the current election for the president are also important for growth if we decide they should be but it's the emotions generated by events that determines how that growth takes place. Like the person lacking the two most important senses, it is what is admitted into the bigger picture by yourself and whether what is added brings fear, anger or happiness. It’s a decision faced by everyone all the time, how much of the world beyond our immediate sphere of influence is useful for growth if it is based on fear or anger? In contrast, growth based on happiness has an almost magical quality to it. Not only does the world seem a happier place, good things seem to happen, friendships strengthen and family bonds grow tighter. You may find education seems to come easier and the workplace is not as impersonal as it once. There is only one rule when choosing to use happiness for growth instead of fear or anger, no matter how happy you are, there are always more levels of happiness beyond that. Keep pushing those limits.

About a year ago I shared in the passing of my mother and it was during those trips between Lake Tahoe and Las Vegas I would stop on a lonely stretch of road in the desert when passing vehicles were nowhere in sight, get out and walk a dozen yards or so from the car. During the time that followed, the persistent noise of city life could no longer be heard along with the background hum of electronics leaving just the stillness of nature. The mind can be turned inward after enough silence has been enjoyed and it is at that point when one can appreciate an earlier age when the technological wonders that make our lives so easy were still a century away. The world was a larger place for those living then with neighbors sometimes closer than family, towns that were true communities and people had the time to appreciate a slower pace of life. Side-by-side, both points in history seem worlds apart but compared to the times in the past when even the luxuries of a printing press was a thousand years in the future, the time-saving devices of the year 1900 would have been inconceivable in the year 900.
This was the end of the classic Mayan period in the Americas and taking that as an example, one can see in their amazing works of architecture, art, games and rituals, comparisons to our modern times done through the absence of technology. Along with that came a study of the stars and development of a very advanced calendar capable of charting points in time thousands of years in the future. When one is surrounded by silence, the only sounds one hears are those thoughts passing through the brain which can sound like a symphony if groups of them align in just the right way. It is in those concepts such as pyramid construction, stellar research and Gods from the sky that one has to consider what else they saw above them. The Mayans built planetariums in each major city and with so much time spent looking into the skies, any visitors to this planet in flying ships would have seemed like Gods to those who placed such major importance to the happenings in the stars unimpeded by artificial lighting. With so much to ponder, it's no wonder the tops of their pyramids and temples were built higher than the distractions taking place in the city below.
Travel back another thousand years or so to focus in on the life of a simple carpenter as he plied his trade of building up people and laying the groundwork for a master plan the effects of which are still shaping our world on a daily basis. Crushed and oppressed, many people of the time were overseen by a brutal Roman occupation and what imagination they had was fed to them by their priests and authorities like the Sanhedrin. Out in the desert surrounded by his disciples, Jesus would have had that same quiet I experienced in those trips to Las Vegas and those disciples would have had months if not years in the early days of his ministry where they would have been around him twenty-four seven. Imagining that kind of access, it’s no wonder some would suffer horrible deaths passing on the message he had taught. After his ascension back to higher dimensions, they would have then had all of the quiet afforded a lack of distractions and in that quiet would have had time to reflect on the words he imparted to each them as have millions of people since. Monastic life has always sought such quiet to regain that reflection enjoyed by those of Christ’s time but let's look back another two thousand, five hundred years to a civilization who understood how truly loud silence can be.
Egypt at the height of its power and creator of some of the most wonderful structures of their era also built structures underground and chambers within the pyramids were silence reigned when no else was around. Anyone who has ever taken a YouTube visit into the king’s chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza can imagine being in there by themselves to think and meditate. In the deep penetrating silence to follow would be a chance to really explore what a thought would sound like in such a space. The musician Paul Horn released an album of him playing his flute there and the sound can still carry the listener away to the deeper places within themselves. Imagining what it must have sounded like at the completion of its construction when the door was still open, one cannot help but be overwhelmed by their ability to construct such a edifice as well as other such fantastic buildings and temples. To stop here on our journey though would be a disservice if we did not continue on to when the power of thoughts was appreciated to its fullest but also to a fault. Our final destination is ten thousand years before Egypt's height to the time of Atlantis where our search has been heading all along. During its even bigger height was how all of this started when ascension to the next evolutionary level was still thought of as a possibility. It still is and the time span from then to now is but a continuation of the path all third dimensional humans are on. That leads us back to today going forward from here. Should you find yourself where all sound has been eliminated, use that time to listen to the music of the mind. The harmony has never been missing, it's just needed all this time to be enjoyed properly.

“That's incredible. Imagine seven billion people all wanting to live together. Yeah, the Earth must be the friendliest place in the galaxy.”
In paraphrasing with some poetic license from the movie “Crocodile Dundee”, I am reminded of a time many years ago I spent as a travel agent, a vanishing species now in the age of the internet and how I could send people around the world with only a few key strokes. Should some fictional intergalactic travel agent book a trip for someone to come to any of the major cities of this planet without knowing much about it ahead of time, they might have similar sentiments until reality would reveal the truth of the matter. That said, it isn’t really much more complicated than the fact that most people really do want to share this beautiful world with the other inhabitants privileged to be alive in this time and place. While differences only denote learning opportunities, it’s those differences my clients were looking to explore when they booked a trip though our agency and it’s those same differences we explore as we may incarnate as a different sex, a different race, a different social standing or different nationality with each new birth. It’s hard to imagine anyone not wanting to stretch their boundaries and embrace the richness travel brings to one’s perspective as we return each life to experience that same richness again and again.
The next step in stretching those boundaries even further is by including possibilities in the very stars themselves but, by not able to travel there, we have to rely on the mind to provide the only vehicle we’ll need. For most, “Star Trek” gave a mental picture of the concept of traveling through space to meet races other than those from Earth. For others, the concept of space travel to meet other races could be found in a myriad of movies and television shows but all could give a small nod of the head to what the crew of the Enterprise started. As “Star Trek” prepares to celebrate fifty years since coming on air next month, The Hades Base News would like to take this time to thank all those who have helped make the show a reality and have done so much to expand the horizons of our imagination. It was the perfect show for its time and still is thanks to the new reboot. More than ever is needed the cohesion displayed between different races and species working together to seek out new life and new understanding. That’s on an entertainment level, now comes the part where the expansion includes both the social issues it addressed and the consciousness increased as a result of seeing space as attainable and races other than ours as possible.
I watched the original episodes of the show while attending elementary school and would join my friends in taking on the role of the crew of the Enterprise. I would always play Mr. Spock due to my relating to the character more so than any of the others and we would explore space while sitting in the bleachers of the school baseball diamond. Away trips to other planets only took up as much time as lunch allowed and we always won every space battle if negotiations failed which always seemed to happen. Still, it opened my mind to what it would be like to actually be on these adventures and cause me to wonder about being a race other than human. It also illustrated how discrimination was indefensible as was the war the United States which had been escalating at the time. People of all races and colors were working together for a common cause and I had hope this was the future that was destined to be mine. Well that did turn out to be the case but not in any way I would have expected as I lived through real life episodes of “Star Trek” during each of the channeling sessions with those on the base.
It’s thanks to the mind expanding efforts of Mr. Eugene Wesley "Gene" Roddenberry that have I and other light workers can help take that expansion to the next step and add to the planetary consciousness some fact to the fiction. While Captain Kirk and crew worked from a sound stage of technicians, lighting personnel and a whole host of people making each episode come off without a hitch, real beings from a number of races and dimensions populate not just Hades Base but many more bases and worlds throughout our galaxy, all established and stationed by the dedicated men and women of Ashtar Command for the express purpose of bringing those who wish to do so up from the third dimension to the next evolutionary level of growth. One could say it was only a matter of timing that it took fifty years and multiple generations to come around to where the concept of an interstellar community working towards peaceful coexistence could actually be possible. Thanks to the efforts of those on Hades Base and the crew of the U.S.S Enterprise, the best examples possible have been given of what can happen when everyone works together for the common good of all.
Live long and prosper,
Russ and Karra

(In honor of the victims of the Pulse Nightclub tragedy.)
The other day I was looking at an aquarium full of clown fish, some orange and black with white stripes, some all back with white stripes swimming together, oblivious to the differences between them. Everywhere in the wild you can see the same behavior where differences can make little difference until man enters the scene. In a supposedly far advanced state over the lesser creatures, no such oblivion to differences exists. The tolerance to those differences can be graphed and calculated throughout history in the currency of a human life and just how much a person’s existence is measured in relation to the rest of the population.
The valuation of a human life varies with location and time period along with how much those differences affect that value. Recorded history provides benchmarks to judge by and it starts with how karma and a soul’s higher self has assigned the parameters of a person’s birth. Factors setting the value on a life have been fairly consistent even up to today where the color of a person’s skin, the belief system they abide by, the station in life in which they find themselves, the choice they make in sexual partners can all make huge differences in the development of one’s environment. Contributing to the assessment is the location of one’s birth, the parents who have agreed between lives to accept the responsibility to have an influence in the lessons a person has assigned themselves. It is how that person deals with those lessons they’ve laid out that gives rise to the consciousness needed for ascension.
The last but most important factor we’ve left off is the understanding a person has on the value of themselves and those around them. It’s separate because it is the internal calculator which can often set values based on the external factors already mentioned even if it is only in the subconscious mind. History is the perfect gauge to see how life has gained and lost in value through the centuries. Slavery, indentured servitude and the sex trade industry have all contributed to extending the gulf in the price of a life to actual money as opposed to a personal intrinsic value with soul changing lessons necessary for the individuals involved. Subjugation of a land or a people also changes the dynamics of those who are the conqueror and those who are conquered. It’s this intolerance to the differences found in others that only promotes tolerance of those differences in people who before may not have had a strong opinion one way or another but are forced to take a stand in defense of those differences if only from a moral standpoint.
It’s the future we have to look to so that as many people as possible can come to understand that the price of a life is incalculable. No value can be set for something which is so rich in experiences and those trying to set a value fail to take into consideration the future lives to come, the present potential and the past lives that brought about that moment. In higher dimensions, these are the true factors that can’t be assigned a value. We are beings of light and light is free. Increasing that light comes with the sharing that same light to others, giving them a hand up from a place if they’ve assigned themselves a low personal valuation and just need to be reminded that they, as well as we, are worth far more than what they, or ourselves, think we’re worth.
In love, light and sorrow,
Russ and Karra
