"...is the worldwide headquarters of FIGU, the Free Interest Association for Border and Humanities and Ufology Studies.The Semjase-Silver-Star-Center, with all its facilities, teaches creative laws and commandments as well as spiritual teaching." Additionally, FIGU says that their main purpose is: "The aim of the FIGU is the worldwide dissemination of the truth, together with Billy and with the help of the Pleiadians / Plejaren and other life forms of non-earthly origin, but the truth are knowledgeable and since time immemorial after the universal truth and live their lives according to the peaceful criteria and implications of the same. The goal of the FIGU is further, that through the doctrine of truth, the life of all human beings according to creative laws and commandments is designed, and that the application of the truth and its laws and commandments in a creative-orderly and creative way, successful application to find the earthman." Though the headquarters of FIGU is based in Switzerland, they have organizations in 12 other countries. They are funded by their membership system which, at their lowest tier, is required to pay the following:
So, for example, if you were a Swiss member of FIGU then you would have to pay (30 + 30 + 90 + 466.83 + 210) 826.83 CHF in your first year, if you have an average monthly salary in Switzerland and were not able to work at the Semjase Silver Star Center (SSSC) for your required 3 days. This is just over 1% of your total average annual salary that you would be paying to FIGU, for the least expensive membership. Oh, and if you work your required 3 days at the SSSC then you have to camp on-site or book a hotel because "We do not offer any accommodation facilities at the center." and though breakfast is provided while you are working at the center, there is a charge of CHF 10.00 for lunch and dinner. It is not publicly available how many members they have worldwide. So FIGU is supposed to be this egalitarian, open, and voluntary society (definitely not a cult) BUT membership is limited to those who can pay for it and those who "choose" to become members are likely already indoctrinated into the teaching of Billy Meier, the figurehead and core-philosopher of the organization. FIGU, in addition to being highly invested in "UFOlogy" is also an advocate of population control through state sanctioned regulation whereby women are restricted to having 3 children, so long as they follow a long list of rules, and alternating 7 year periods where procreation is allowed and then 7 years when it is not, and so on. According to this anti-overpopulation plan, written by Christian Frehner who is a FIGU Core Group member, the penalties for breaking these rules are that the child you conceived will be taken from you and put for adoption as well as that both parents will be sterilized. Certainly no one is FOR overpopulation but what FIGU proposes as a solution which is essentially a eugenics program: people are selected due to their favorable characteristics such as age, status, income, and lack of hereditary diseases and "mental handicaps". If anyone reading this has seen the bio-punk movie Gattaca, FIGU's plan to curb overpopulation may seem eerily familiar as the movie describes a "future society driven by eugenics where potential children are conceived through genetic selection to ensure they possess the best hereditary traits of their parents". In this text written by Christian Frehner, it is very careful to lure the reader in so as not to scare them off with the proposed eugenics program: "The fight against overpopulation is only one of many important issues that are pursued by FIGU or its members, and presented to the public. One the one hand, the focus of our activities lies on the fulfillment of one’s own self-responsibility in connection with performing and developing one’s own intrinsic values and realizations (virtues, character, striving for the truth, etc.)..." It seems to me, according to their manifesto, that this kind of strict program does not adhere to their ideals regarding education as well as for fulfilling one's own self-responsibility. It is an extreme measure and is highly unlikely to ever be taken seriously but it gives insight into the organization. This is one example where their ultimate goal is noble, in that they want to create a more sustainable world but where the way of reaching that goal is morally questionable (at best). This example can give us some insight into their written organizational principals also, as most or all of them are noble at face-value but there are hints, when reading about them or watching their videos and when getting deeper into their dogma, that there is something more nefarious happening. Even if FIGU does not actually fit all of the criteria of a cult, it is certainly cult-ish. As an another example, they say that "We fight against all women's discrimination and the abuse of women." but in their document on curbing overpopulation, they relegate the woman back to traditional gender norms. So, within the organization there are these lofty progressive ideas but then they are underpinned by conservatism. Everything about the organization, the mythology surrounding Billy Meier and their current practices are interesting and complicated and cult-ish. As an outsider/non-member to the organization there is a lot of information available regarding their philosophies but it is impossible to know how exactly they function as their is still a veil of exclusion which exists between non members and members. At least superficially, they are very reminiscent of Scientology, just smaller and based out of Switzerland. There are certain people who exist as public figures and political actors who are able to create a false mythology surrounding themselves in order to lure supporters. Through their doctrines they create an alternate-reality which is accepted as the truth while the actual reality is regarded as fake. Such chicanery plays on the desires held by some to believe in something, which then benefits those at the top of the pyramid. There's probably no solution to this problem but perhaps it can curbed by humanizing people, empathizing with them, and learning about their beliefs so that there can be a discussion about it, rather than an argument. The only way to find the truth is to cross-reference sources and to examine all of the positions, especially when you don't agree with them, and treat each one with equal scrutiny and skepticism. The appealing illustration at the top of this post led me on a journey to research FIGU, the Semjase Silver Star Center (SSSC), and Billy Meier by investigating the content they've made available. Through this, I have concluded that they are an organization which profits a few few individuals while taking advantage of their membership and sometimes acts contrarily to their manifesto. I suppose the point of all of this is that we have to learn about the things which we don't understand, through a great deal of inquiry, in order to eventually reach a semi-accurate conclusion. Is the truth still out there? Sources:

Mysteries in Roswell4/18/2018 Why do we love a mystery? The possibly unattainable goal of finding out its answers are able to absorb our search for decades and even whole lifetimes. That driving curiosity imbues a parching thirst for a solution to our quandary, which may ultimately never be reached.
The incident itself, which you can read at Wikipedia, is interesting but what is even more so, is the effect that the incident had in sparking curiosity which led off in numerous directions of imaginative speculation, fiction, tourism and citizen-detective work. But it wasn't immediate, the story gestated for some 30 years before public interest in Roswell reignited. The ambiguity and the uncertainty of the situation, led for a search for truth. In chapter 9 of 'Transparency and Conspiracy: Ethnographies of Suspicion in the New World Order', the authors cite the Roswell Incident as the key example of how discourse can migrate from the fringes of society to the mainstream: "public preoccupation in the 1980s with "conspiracy, cover-up and repression" aligned well with the Roswell narratives as told in the "sensational books" which were being published." Though the widespread interest in Roswell diminished in the 1990's, there are still numerous believers who actively search to answer the question of whether a UFO crashed in New Mexico in 1947. The research into the incident started in 1978, by UFO researchers Stanton T. Friedman, William Moore, Karl T. Pflock, and continues to this day by many more though all of that time searching has led to nothing conclusive. Those who believe, point to the easiest answer which is that there is a conspiracy within the American Government to hide the evidence of a UFO crash. That is certainly a possibility but it would be an incredibly complicated task requiring the utmost competence of many personnel over a long period of time, even after their retirement, which seems pretty improbable... Is the truth still out there? Images from pages 48/49 of the book 'UFO' by Brookesmith located in the Bibliothek Andreas Zust. The first is supposedly the original debris recovered from the Roswell crash and the second is an artist's depiction of the "actual" crash site. The veil of reality4/12/2018 This diagram, showing an part of a UFO cut away, exposing its inner workings and environment is from page 143 of the book Geheimsache-UFO by Hesemann located in the Bibliothek Andreas Zust.
The diagram is based off of the UFO designs described and "documented" by George Adamski .The original story is a strange one and you can read it in the links below...the photographs were supposedly proven to be real, which doesn't mean that it is necessarily true. Truth is the act of being in accordance with reality and through we may perceive reality in different ways, there does exist an indifferent reality or a true reality which is independent of how we perceive it. Proving weather the photos taken by Adamski align with the indifferent reality, as in trying to do so with many other well-known names in the world of UFOlogy, might always be an impossible task. Believing, for the sake of belief, whether in UFOs which fly over our heads or incompetent politicians or deities which watch over us as benevolent creators, is all the same. Having a belief is tempting and easy, especially when it cannot be disproven because it protects our ego from being false. Children hold beliefs, about Santa Claus and a great many other things. As adults we "know" that there is no Santa Claus, although we cannot disprove him. With UFOs, there are examples of something like evidence, even if it is circumspect and often improbable. How do we prove that our belief is not simply that but something which is true? The only way is through scientific investigation where the act of believing is separated from the evidence. The observer needs to be independent from the results of the observed, regardless of those results. That is the only way to accurately measure those beliefs against the ruler of reality. Is the truth still out there? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Adamski http://www.adamskifoundation.com/html/AboutGA.htm http://mysteriousuniverse.org/2017/12/george-adamski-aliens-the-fbi-and-the-air-force/ Playlist for an Interstellar Road Trip4/12/2018 This is an Artist's concept image of the Voyager spacecraft from page 224 of the book Planeten monde ringsysteme by Engelhardt located in the Bibliothek Andreas Zust.
When we see an image like this, we imagine it as a movie frame taken from real life. A still shot taken out in space of the real object whizzing by planets and other celestial bodies. It's not a photo but still, there is an inherent believability and reality contained within its frame. Images like this, but also real images of the ships we have sent beyond the earth remind me that even if no extraterrestrial is visiting our planet, that we are in fact the aliens who are piloting the UFOs beyond our own. There is much nationalism and conservatism happening in countries around the world fueled by "locals" on one side who oppose aliens on the other, but the fact is that we can all be aliens somewhere and with enough time we can all be locals. The definitions that we assign to ourselves and each other are fluid depending on relationships and context, so what is the point of assigning them in the first place? Is the truth still out there? Archive awakened4/7/2018 Been scouring the archives looking for evidence. Piles of books on the table, scanning images from each that seem useful or important. The sound of the scanner echoes in my ears. Found this diagram of different UFO profiles in the Das Geheimnis der unbekannten Flugobjekte by Adolf Schneider and Hubert Malthaner. I will keep it in mind as I look to the skies of Appenzelland. #IsTheTruthStillOutThere?
