This premiere issue of 'Letters From Andromeda' is dedicated to fostering leadership, self-determination, and a deeper understanding of humanity's place in the universe. The magazine aims to share knowledge and wisdom, particularly from extraterrestrial sources.

Creating a Race of Leaders

The lead article, "Creating a Race of Leaders," emphasizes the importance of understanding past and present leaders and encouraging individuals to become leaders themselves. It advocates for a shift away from hero-worship towards a model where everyone is empowered to lead. True leaders, it suggests, should love their people, protect them, and encourage their growth, acting with mercy, compassion, and broad-mindedness. The concept of democracy is contrasted with the idea of a populace being ignorant and powerless, advocating for voluntary awakening and unity.

The article stresses that leadership requirements should be simple and rooted in human essence, with leaders declaring faith in their humanhood and self-responsibility. A leader's responsibility extends to those they teach, requiring affection and a deep sense of duty. Lacking mercy or compassion leads to self-serving and irresponsible behavior. Leaders must be capable of understanding individual needs and situations, practicing gentleness and forbearance. The ideal leader fosters self-faith and happiness in others.

Defending Sacred Ground

This section features an excerpt from Alexander Collier's work, discussing the "Andromedan council" and its principle of non-intervention with evolving races. The council's role is not to be saviors, but to allow races to gain experience and achieve permanent evolution through self-determination. The text highlights the challenge of intervention, which affects both the interveners and the intervened. The ascension of the Pleadian Consciousness into the fourth density is mentioned.

Dear Friends

This section, written by the publishers, Jon and Deborah Robinson, introduces the newsletter as a means of sharing knowledge learned from friends, including insights from "Human Beings in the constellation of Andromeda." They express a desire to place this information under the protection of Terrans and advocate for the rights of all human beings to their opinions. Reason is presented as the most formidable weapon against error and fear, being a direct by-product of common sense, which is defined as the awareness of invisible energies and a deep humility before the universe.

Common sense is described as the true expression of human intuition, forming the basis of civilization, social peace, and harmony. It is a universal inheritance, not exclusive to any group. The authors urge people to take over leadership roles to heal themselves, their families, and the world. They mention attending the "University of Earth" and feeling overwhelmed by negativity but finding strength in higher knowledge. This newsletter is presented as the first "Letters From Andromeda," born from the need to share this knowledge.

The publishers express their struggle in determining the most important message but promise to do their best. They share their personal beliefs in God (not the God of religions), free will, self-responsibility, equality of all life, and the importance of being honest with oneself ("To thine own self be true").

Defending Sacred Ground - Continued

The Andromedan council is concerned about humanity's over-stimulation by technical capacity, leading to a focus on producing and consuming physical matter. This, they believe, causes humans to experience themselves as things, manipulated by machines and in turn manipulating others. The Andromedans fear that humans may forget they are human beings, making self-definition and understanding their true spiritual essence crucial. Vasais and Moranay state that human nature is being manipulated to serve global government interests rather than the unity of the human race.

Mankind is responsible for its own history, and the life of a human spiritual essence is the stream of individual consciousness. Evolution is meant to lead to greater socialization and individual freedom. The Andromedans believe that races achieve greatness through love and reason. Real freedom is not a fact but a possibility, gained by confronting obstacles. They encourage introspection to understand one's own freedom and advocate for enthusiasm for life and the sanctification of all life to foster progression and evolution.

The Andromedans emphasize the need for self-knowledge, which involves surpassing limitations and achieving maturity and potential. They observe that humanity is trying to "have" rather than "be," risking the loss of identity, similar to the Grays. They also note that the world is characterized by gossip and meaningless talk, with a lack of responsibility. Humanity is seen as wandering without a definite direction. Vasais suggests that wisdom is scattered and needs to be concentrated to become a real force for reason.

Creating a Race of Leaders - Continued

This section reiterates the goal of teaching guidance and self-determination to establish self-faith and happiness. It defines building an honest and healthy race of human beings as producing a world of leaders of "true law of oneness." Faith, integrity, and character are presented as foundational. Leaders must be impartial, firm against self-serving goals, and able to spot deceit. They must place the right person in the right place and build long-term integrity. Acknowledging the inconspicuous efforts of others is important, as all souls contribute to the whole.

Leaders need self-confidence, courage, and decisiveness to protect their members and advance them to self-responsibility. Those who have done inner work acquire wisdom and courage. Faith enables leaders to employ wisdom effectively, and courage is indispensable. Leaders should not criticize errors but praise achievements. The issue of criticism from others is acknowledged.

Becoming a leader is a lifelong pursuit of faith and wisdom, aimed at helping people develop self-responsibility, spiritual maturity, and voluntary introspection. The Andromedans express faith in humanity's ability to develop remarkably and become a source of pride.

Current Events

This section discusses crop circles, stating that "we are placing many of the crop circles, however, not all of them." The issue is presented as being confused, with secret priesthoods withholding information about the symbols. These circles are appearing from "us" (presumably extraterrestrials) to clarify boundaries regarding free will, and support will be provided if asked. Other crop circles are attributed to Orion, serving as a "calling card" when approaching the solar system. The secret priesthoods are said to create confusion and war before Orion's arrival, as Orion feeds off this energy, which is described as an "offering."

Publisher's Message

Jon and Deborah Robinson explain their role in creating the newsletter, with Alex Collier insisting on their contribution. They see themselves as bridging the gap between believers and those seeking truth, and as moderators between ET races and fellow Terrans. They have had visions confirming this role. The publisher emphasizes that their friendship with Alex is based on mutual respect and admiration, with each being both teacher and student. Alex Collier's quote, "Don't follow me, I will not lead. Don't walk in front of me, I will not follow. Walk beside me and be my friend," encapsulates their relationship.

They remind readers that each person is a leader in their own right and possesses the tools to navigate life's challenges. The newsletter will be published bimonthly and aims to be informative and thought-provoking, serving as a forum for teachings from Andromedan friends and other Ufology speakers. The focus will be on sharing personal thoughts and feelings that promote self-awareness and empowerment.

The issue concludes with a message of love and light, encouraging readers to bask in the Light of Creation, replace fear with love, and embrace the Power it brings.

Statement of Purpose: To help create a world of unconditional responsibility, this non-profit newsletter is dedicated to humanity without reservation. It is a gift, and the truth should not be offered with restrictions. There is no copyright.
