January 7, 2015I'm conflicted over how to rate this one. So I won't.
This book was given to me as a gift from a friend because of my passion for the topic of UFOs and extra-terrestrials. I'm by no means a skeptic. I googled the author before reading this book and found that she was by far one of the greatest whackos in American history, with many failed predictions to her name, such as World War 3 breaking out in the 1980's and that Atlantis would somehow rise to the surface in 1999. The book lived up to her "aura".
What we have here is a product of such abject madness that at times it was hard not to think I was reading a great piece of satire. The reason I'm not sure how to rate it, however, is that I enjoyed it so much I hammered it down in under three hours.
If you're someone who is of reasonably sound mind, and perhaps you take pleasure in reading a good train wreck, this one is worth your time. And, if you're someone who might fall for tourist-trap psychics who know how to perform a cold read, this one might be right up your alley too.

New Age Propaganda or Truth?
Ruth Montgomery might be what is considered one of the ‘old school’ psychics like Edgar Cayce. Because she was active in the early to mid 60s and even into the 70s and later, my mother read her voraciously, and passed on several of her earlier books to me, saying: “Here! You need to read this!” As a young pre-teen and teenager in the mid to late 60s, the type of material Ruth Montgomery was known for channeling became commonplace in our house: the paranormal, the supernatural, life after death – Ruth Montgomery channeled and wrote about it all.
Unfortunately, I was never aware that she had also begun connecting with her Guides and the Guides of her friends and acquaintances regarding UFOs and Extraterrestrials circa 1985. And I say ‘unfortunately,’ because my mother had also talked to me about UFOs and extraterrestrials, which she was not only fully convinced existed, but with which she had had her own experiences and encounters, as have I. So I would have loved to have read her books on this subject then.
But that was not to be.
Now, what makes me wonder about Ruth and what’s been written in this particular book is that her Guides’ predictions of what was then referred to as the Axial Tilt or The Shift which was supposed to have happened at the end of the 20th Century, did not actually come to pass as of the year 2000. But then it seems that many things that were predicted to have happened by the end of the 20th Century and a decade along into the 21st Century have not occurred either.
But then, even Edgar Cayce’s Earth Changes prophecies for the year 1998 did not occur, while many more of his prophecies DID happen. So, it makes one wonder: are events happening or not happening as the result of … timeline shifts? That is, have the recognition of these prophecies caused humanity to change their overall trajectory, which altered the timeline to the point that once it had been predicted to occur, if the danger was recognized and changes made, those predictions would not, then, come to pass?
But that’s another tangent.
As far as Ruth Montgomery, one of the first things that occurred to me about half way through the book – especially after her numerous references to ‘The New Order’ into which we would be moving after the shift at the end of the 20th Century – was: are Ruth Montgomery’s teachings and books really just a New Age psy-op? That is not to say that she was purposely being misleading. But many of us have been led down the proverbial primrose path by those who are controlling this scenario, especially by and with the so-caled ‘New Age Propaganda.’ And what Ruth Montgomery, et al, talked about could very likely have been part of the New Age propaganda.
Still, she has channeled some interesting information, from the interactions with her friend in the astral, Arthur Ford, to her Guides and others. Which is still – in my opinion – worthy of another look.
Still an interesting read, if nothing else.

MONTGOMERY TURNS HER ATTENTION TO EXTRATERRESTIALS
Ruth Shick Montgomery (1912-2001) was a journalist and syndicated columnist in Washington, DC., who later became a psychic who wrote a number of metaphysical books (sometimes through ‘automatic writing’), and claimed that she could communicate with medium Arthur Ford after his death.
She wrote in the Foreword to this 1985 book, “This is a book about extraterrestrials: who they are, where they came from, how they arrive, and why they are here. Midway in this next-to-last decade before … the long predicted shift of the earth on its axis, extraterrestrial communication seems to be a worldwide phenomenon…. They are said to be here to help us earthlings, and in my opinion we need all the help we can get in our strife-ridden, polluted, self-centered society… The more enlightened ones among us, according to the Guides, have had numerous lives on other planets as well as earth… during the past year or so I have been swamped by letters and calls from men and women who sincerely believe that their ‘real home’ is in another planetary system.” (Pg. 1-2)
She explains, “I have become a firm believer in reincarnation, and in the concept that a high-minded soul who wishes to depart the physical plane, by entering as a Walk-in. Why should I then maintain a closed mind to the possibility that space friends from other planets and galaxies are visiting earth to help us solve our problems? Just because I personally have not encountered a UFO did not mean the reports of others whom I respected could not be as reliable as my own would have been.” (Pg. 8-9) Later, she adds, “I am merely a reporter of these alleged happenings, because I have yet to be honored by an unearthly visitation. But I can hope, can’t I?” (Pg. 21)
She comments about Thelma Terrell (‘Tuella’), “I was somewhat turned off by some of her messages that purport to come from Jesus, the Mother Mary and other saints, and the Guides responded: ‘She would be wise not to infuse so much Biblical religion into her messages, as the Ashtar Command is nondenominational and like all spacelings worships the one Creator of us all. She is not actually hearing from the ones you mention, but is feeling what they might have conveyed. We don’t like to see the issue unduly tied in with Biblical stories, for the worldwide appearance of space people is not solely limited to those spiritual beings who have trod the earth, but includes ones from other areas of space and other galaxies. But make no mistake about it. Tuella is a highly developed soul with an important mission for which she volunteered.’” (Pg. 44)
She says of William Goodlett, “I can only quote my Guides, who commented: ‘By willing themselves there, space beings do indeed project themselves to other planets, just as Goodlett did in his out-of-body experiences. While on those other planets he actually trod the soil, and was seen by and conversed with others, who being more advanced than earthlings, were not at all surprised at the presence of a stranger as cohabitor of their sphere. His experiences were true and real… and he has projected himself into other habitats and galaxies because of his previous high development and awareness of how to cope with other beings… these highly developed spacelings are able to create through the assembling of atoms and the thought process.” (Pg. 126)
She recounts, “I first learned of this group of Arcturians in the spring of 1984 when a man named John Andreadis wrote to me… ‘…the message in your books is identical to what I have realized through my studies of the Hindu cycles of creation. As we know, the ancient religion of India, the Sanatan Dharma, is an explanation of the eternal immutable laws of the universe, so as we understand these laws the message is always the same.’ To be perfectly candid, I had never heard of the Sanatan Dharma. All that I do is transmit the Guides’ messages to my readers, although I have long believed that any of us who are legitimately tapping into a fourth-dimensional source of enlightenment will receive essentially the same truths, since the fountainhead is universal wisdom.” (Pg. 129)
She recounts, “Well, I guess the Guides have finally talked me into it. I have been aware for many years, of course, that famed psychic Edgar Cayce also emphasized the importance of gems, and often prescribed certain ones for those for who he gave life readings. He too spoke of the breastplates of Moses and the high priests, and of the symbology and importance of the jewelry embedded there.” (Pg. 187)
In the last chapter, she wrote, “In the early spring of 1984, as I was preparing to leave on a radio-television tour for the paperback edition of ‘Threshold of Tomorrow,’ the publisher’s publicity department asked if the Guides would be willing to make a prediction about the outcome of the Democratic primaries… and they responded: ‘Hart will make a good showing but will not win the nomination. That will go to Mondale, and Reagan will defeat him, but will be unable to serve out his second term… They then told me what they claim will occur to place Bush in the highest office, and the appropriate timing, but I do not wish to disclose it here for obvious reasons. I also want to point out that the Guides are not always right in their political predictions. Their batting average is phenomenal… Nevertheless, I think the Guides goofed on that one, and hope that they’re wrong again about Ronald Reagan this time.” (Pg. 222-224)
She concludes, “I asked for any final comments about our friends from outer space, and they wrote: ‘They will continue to arrive in increasing numbers as Walk-ins, and will be of inestimable value in leading people to safe areas; also in preparing them for the hardship during and for a time after the shift…’ So welcome aboard, space friends! We’re happy to have you aboard!” (Pg. 224-225)

Thankfully I didn't buy this but borrowed it with Kindle Unlimited. Originally written in 1985 and stated that there would be an earth pole realignment in 2000 which would cause a catastrophic problems and changes with the earth. The author claimed many would die but some would be rescued by alien friends which were here now or orbiting the earth. (Yes I do believe in UFO's and other life forms I've seen them but!), she also wrote extensively about a supposedly spiritual man who was a "walk in" from another planet and seemed to have total faith in him. This man died before 2000 and was later exposed as a cult leader?
All in all not exactly Timothy Good or Preston Dennett.....

The best that I can describe this book is it's a fantastic book
What can I say you, besides me telling you how great this book is you would have to have an open mind in the beginning you would already have to have some type of belief if it be reincarnation aliens among Us which is called the intelligence among Us that which has always been around us since the beginning of time because we will all created in the beginning of time I would say have an open mind open mind leads to a brilliant mind God bless and God bless Ruth Montgomery and Arthur Ford nor the other greats that came before us

If you went into this book like me hopping to get some evidence of extraterrestrials you will be disappointed. I personally don’t believe aliens exist but was hoping for a set of evidence presented to us.
Instead we get extremely vague and almost crazy references to her guides who are anonymous writers who inform her on who is a real alien. These people who have had strange experiences are sent to a hypnotist and then they saw and were abducted.
Really Montgumery felt like a charlatan and a predatory person who wanted your story to sell books.

Interesting read. Obviously picked it up because its about aliens, but much of the book is about religion. I did enjoy reading most of it. I looked up some of the people in the book such as Charlotte King, the human seismograph. I find her fascinating. I am now following her blog posts. This book its dated, came out around the time I was born so some of the stuff is irrelevant. I would still recommend this book though.

Interesting Subject Matter
I find the discussions of the spiritual plane and the embodiment of souls to be quite intriguing. The subject leans the way of ancient metaphysical teachings versus our modern spiritualism. Very thought provoking for me.

Wow
Now everything connects and as before everything is connected. We just have forgotten who we are and what our purpose here is. Luckily we have so many beings to guide us, only if we tune in to their frequency

This book was an interesting read in terms of stepping outside of traditional thinking. I enjoyed it, and I definitely felt some of what Ruth's guides said was straight on point and very true. However, quite a lot of the book left me feeling vaguely uncomfortable and uneasy. Particularly the part about Frederick von Mierer and his Arcturian group. Doing a bit of research about him turned up some rather disconcerting questions. So...overall I think this book is worth reading, particularly if you have any interest in aliens and UFO sitings. It's definitely mind opening, but I'm unconvinced that it's total truth.
