In Days to Come

by Ashtar, Ethel P Hill

Overview

This is a series of messages from an extraterrestrial entity named Ashtar, purportedly transmitted via 'automatic writing.' Ashtar was apparently channeled by Ethel P. Hill, an early UFO contactee. Ashtar claims to be the commander of a vast army of spacemen. He apparently reports directly to Jesus Christ, who, it is implied, will return at some point in a UFO.

Ashtar is a desultory speller, and sometimes slips into a bogus King James Bible-style English. One giveaway is his use of the word 'thyselves,' a neologism based on 'thyself.' The correct form of the second person plural possessive has been 'yourselves' since Old English.

Ashtar's message is both reassuring and vaguely terrifying. His constant reassurances that he has come (or will come, 'real soon now') to fix our problems, not to conquer, only deepen the concern.

This was first published circa 1957. It is now a classic work in the UFO genre.

About the Author

Ashtar is the name of a purported extraterrestrial being, who was first claimed to be channeled by early UFO contactee George Van Tassel, on 18 July 1952.

FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Although the purported method of communication resembled what is commonly referred to as "channeling", Van Tassel claimed to have established a new form of telepathic communication with extraterrestrial intelligences utilizing a method which included both natural human abilities and the use of an allegedly advanced form of alien technology, rather than the more traditionally "religious" non-technological spiritual medium based approach taken by many other early channelers of the era. Van Tassel maintained that the method he utilized was not a "paranormal" or "metaphysical" activity, but rather an example of the application of an allegedly advanced extraterrestrial science, that anyone could implement with the proper training.

Residing near a large boulder, situated in the desert of southern California called Giant Rock, in a UFO focused community he founded in 1947, the earliest messages Van Tassel claimed to have received from Ashtar were first presented to the public at an annual event called the Giant Rock Spacecraft Convention, which he himself organized. Van Tassel's early purported messages from Ashtar contained a great deal of apocalyptic material, which focused on concerns regarding the development and soon to be tested hydrogen bomb. Van Tassel also claimed that Ashtar had provided specific messages that he was expected to pass on to the U.S. federal government regarding the potential negative impacts of the proposed upcoming bomb tests.
