Heaven’s Gate video (22 minutes)

Slide 3.Flyer Flyer from Atlanta

Slide 4. Flyer, September, 1975 Oregon “Two individuals say they are about to leave the human level and literally (physically) enter the next evolutionary level in a space craft (UFO) within months. Followers of " THE TWO " will discuss how the transition from the human level to the next level is accomplished, and when this may be done. This is not a religious or philosophical organization recruiting membership. However, the information already prompted many individuals to devote their total energy to the transitional process. If you have ever entertained the idea that there may be a real, physical level beyond the earth's confines, you will want to attend this meeting.”

Slide 5. USA Today adUSA Today ad, introduction USA Today ad USA Today adUSA Today ad, introduction USA Today ad The following statements could sound very presumptuous. However, these facts do come into focus or "prove" themselves if they are seriously explored a step at a time. They could also sound very "doomsdayish." Though, in truth, they will be the most joyous "sound of music" to the ears and eyes of those who have been waiting for them. The Earth's present "civilization" is about to be recycled - "spaded under." Its inhabitants are refusing to evolve. The "weeds" have taken over the garden and disturbed its usefulness beyond repair. The human kingdom was created as a stepping stone between the animal kingdom and the true Kingdom of God (the Evolutionary Kingdom Level Above Human). It is the soul that progresses from one kingdom level to another - each kingdom level has its own unique physical containers (bodies) for the souls that reside in that kingdom level.

Slide 6. Heaven’s Gate’s Purpose: then Two thousand years ago Kingdom of Heaven determined some human "plants" of Garden Earth ready to be "containers" for soul deposits. a member of Kingdom of Heaven left His body for a human body "prepped" for this task: Jesus.

Slide 7. Heaven’s Gate’s Purpose: then He did so at His "Father's" (or Older Member's) instruction, at baptism by John the Baptist His Task: offer membership into the Kingdom of Heaven to those who recognized Him and followed Him.

Slide 8. Heaven’s Gate’s Purpose: then Only those with the "deposit" could believe. Get to His Father through total reliance upon Him. Leaving behind this world included: family, sensuality, selfish desires, your human mind, and even your human body if it be required of you - all mammalian ways, thinking, and behavior.

Slide 9. Heaven’s Gate’s Purpose: now Do’s mission is exactly the same. Do has the same task as Jesus; Do’s purposes is to offer the discipline required. Do’s “Father”, his Older Member, came to assist in the task, to provide the opportunity to become a new creature, one of the Next Evolutionary Level, rightfully belonging to the Kingdom of Heaven.

Slide 10. The problem Why Do says It Is Difficult To Believe or Accept Him evil spirits, malevolent space aliens, are "Luciferians," or Satan and his fallen angels. The space aliens, or Luciferians, use the discarnate spirits (the minds that are disembodied at the death of a body) as their primary servants - against potential members of the Kingdom of God. From our point of view, this "programming" finds that body, and the vast majority of all human bodies, barely usable by students of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Slide 11. The challenge Unless you are currently an active student you ARE STILL "of the world.” The window of opportunity to go to Heaven requires: 1) an incarnate (as human) Representative of the Kingdom of Heaven; 2) being an active students of that Representative 3) enduring the "transition classroom" until bonding or "grafting" to that Representative.

Slide 12. USA Today ad: conclusion Many say they live only for the "Harvest Time" - the "Last Days" - the "Second Coming." Those are all finally here! - Will you accept us as them? You cannot bypass us even in your prayers - you cannot insult your Creator by refusing to go through the ones He has sent to you. There are souls here now for the express purpose of connecting - and eventually bonding - with the Next Level through us. Those souls will be protected - out of harm's way - and "saved" from the approaching sorting out, recycling, and "spading under" of the Luciferians and their human servants. If you can get your name in our "book," on our spacecraft's computer (and only there), making your actions reflect that desire - then you will go with us. SUMMARY: Our surfacing is in reality a test of the public's "civility." Can a society that is still dealing with bigotry and prejudices against races, religions, and sexual preference extend the right of existence to some who see humanity as a stepping stone toward the Kingdom of God, and desire to take that step and briefly offer it to others? Or is Earth's present civilization still as primitive as it was 2000 years ago? We'll see! CAUTION: If the above information is consumed or assimilated, you may experience such side effects as loss of marriage, family, friends, career, respectability, and credibility. Continued use could even result in the loss of your membership in the human kingdom.
