Monday, July 20th, marks the fortieth anniversary of man’s first landing on the moon. As he set foot on the lunar surface, Neil Armstrong famously said: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Spiritually speaking, there is much more to Earthman’s “giant leap” than meets the eye. To those aware of the esoteric significance of Earth’s space program — and its correlation with the spiritual space program of the Hierarchal Board of our solar system — our “giant leap” is part and parcel of our advancement into the New Age, with the concomitant goal of reunification with the Federation of Planets.
It is only fitting, therefore, that we honor Earthman’s magnificent achievement with a review of Nada-Yolanda’s experiences and communications during the Apollo 11 moon mission in 1969. Following is a reprint of her account, as published both in Visitors From Other Planets (1974) and in the chapter “Spiritual Space Program” in Facts of Life (1998).
Yolanda’s interdimensional contacts in tandem with other man-in-space flights also are detailed in Visitors.
APOLLO 11 MOON MISSION
by Nada-Yolanda
Those who have been aware of the hierarchal program have seen much significance and evidence of divine direction, guidance and protection in the Earth space program of the USA. As prelude to the Apollo missions, consider that there were seven original astronauts. Seven is a spiritually significant number in all creation. It is especially significant now in that it represents the seventh step of mankind and the rending of the seven phases of the last or seventh veil that separates man from his spiritual awareness. The first suborbital flight by the USA was in a capsule named Freedom Seven.
There were the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo series of flights. Mercury is a legendary bearer of messages or news, or a conductor of travelers: those of higher realms coming to aid man, or man’s own spiritual Self calling upon the mortal self to awaken and to rise. Gemini is the sign of the twin: man of other realms and man of Earth, or spiritual Self and mortal self. Apollo is the name of the sun god: the son of man becoming the son of God. The Saturn rocket lifted the Apollo craft: Saturn is the seat of the Saturnian Council, the Council of Seven that spiritually rules this solar system.
Apollo 11 spacecraft, the Columbia, named for Christopher Columbus, and the Eagle lunar module, making one think of the New Testament’s prophecies of the Second Coming, were named by President Richard Nixon, who was a worker on the Sixth Ray of Transmutation under Chohan St. Germain. The present activity of St. Germain is as Dr. Hannibal, in charge from the etheric realm of the Western Hemisphere for the hierarchal space program, who had been Christopher Columbus and whose present spacecraft of city size is #1235, which is a Unit #11 craft.
The Apollo 11 moon mission from July 16 to 24, 1969, to land Earthman on the moon was one of the major spiritual events on the physical plane to help raise man into the fourth dimension, both physically and in consciousness. For the entire month of July, I was led to be in spiritual retreat away from Mark-Age headquarters [at that time in Miami, Florida], but nearby. Some of my high Self or Nada Self activities in the light body were observed by associates at headquarters and elsewhere. I present these experiences pertaining to the Apollo 11 mission so that all can appreciate fully this spiritually directed hierarchal program.
While watching the liftoff of Apollo 11 on July 16th, I experienced a flow of thoughts concerning the spiritual significance of the names and locations involved in the U.S. space program, similar to those already related. Part of my meditation was in connection with the concurrent ripping of the third phase of the seventh veil from mass consciousness. That phase began in April 1968 and extended to spring 1970, after which time man of Earth increasingly became aware of the hierarchal program.
During the afternoon of July 16th, while in my light body, as Nada of the Hierarchal Board, I entered the Apollo 11 craft and spoke silently to astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins: “Lift up all men. 
Rip the veil. Power and love are united.” Power is the First Ray aspect or function of divine will and power, the first step for man in his spiritual awakening: bowing to the will of God so as to be able to use the power of God. Love is a Seventh Ray aspect or function of divine love and peace, the final or rest step for man in his spiritual awakening or moving into a new level.
That Wednesday evening of July 16th during a meditation at 7:45 P.M. I met Sananda, and some of his disciples from his last Earth incarnation as Christ Jesus of Nazareth, in an astral realm. I watched them descend from the etheric realm. Sananda embraced me and asked why I had called him. I replied, “We need a sign, an outer sign; not for myself, but a sign that would satisfy all mankind as to your influence and presence in this day and age.”
“No single proof would satisfy all men,” Sananda answered.
“For me it would make no difference,” I insisted. “But the peoples of Earth need something they cannot explain, regardless of whether or not they can accept it for what it is. And we, the program workers whom you have selected on the Earth, need something, also, to work with.”
“You will have a sign of this visit. You have my word. It will be there and you will know it,” Sananda/Jesus promised.
My light body then descended over my physical body like a bell over a clapper. I was in two bodies, yet I could operate in both simultaneously. Once again I visited the Apollo 11 crew and from their craft projected golden rays to Earth, bathing it in divine love in preparation for the rending of the third phase of the last veil, stating, “And the third step in the final rending of the seventh veil of mystery for man of Earth shall be!”
Two hours later I was watching a movie on television, when it was interrupted by a nonscheduled videotape broadcast from the Apollo mooncraft. At 8:00 P.M. (fifteen minutes after my contact with Sananda) the crew unexpectedly decided to broadcast pictures of the Earth from sixty thousand miles away. Unmistakably, I saw the face of Jesus stamped over the Earth exactly as he had appeared to me just prior to the Apollo transmission. This was his sign. In a subtle, even humorous, way he had demonstrated his reply that all would not know or accept the same sign which all could see.
On the second day of the flight, July 17th, I channeled through my physical body the light or understanding of God to all men of Earth. This was a channeling of higher spiritual energies being reinstated to Earth for the first time since Atlantis, when I as Yolanda, high priestess of the Sun Temple near what is now Miami, Florida, had helped the Hierarchal Board withdraw them from use by man of Earth. This reinstatement was being done for the rending of the third phase of the seventh veil.
During the third and fourth days of the voyage of Apollo 11, I spent all my time and energy spiritually preparing the astronauts. My body, as an instrument for the channeling of this higher or hieronic energy, was used to synchronize their bodies to the new frequency vibration they would experience in going out of the third dimensional environment of Earth. It is doubtful the astronauts consciously would have known anything of this activity, other than an upliftment in contemplation or meditation or in some dream episode. Nevertheless it was effected and so must be recorded for the race record.
At the end of this energy transmission on the fourth day I was told mentally that I would receive confirmation, of the ability of the moonwalkers to receive my projections, by reading the profile on Armstrong in Life magazine for July 4, 1969. The opening paragraph contains: “When Neil Armstrong was a small boy, he had a recurrent dream: he could, by holding his breath, hover over the ground. Nothing much ever happened — he neither flew nor fell, just hovered.” In another article I read, Armstrong is quoted as having confided to a friend after a series of mishaps, “I should be dead. But I guess God has something else for me to do in my life.”
From 11:00 P.M. on Sunday, July 20th through Monday, July 21st, when astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin were physically on the moon, I was watching it on television with Mark. I was aware of an electromagnetic 
beam from Dr. Hannibal, aboard his own spacecraft headquarters aiding the Eagle‘s activities. This beam also was a hieronic transmission for helping to change the frequency vibration of the two astronauts, as representatives of all Earthmen and as the matrix for the race’s physical form now ready to go from third dimensional frequency into the fourth dimension.
As soon as they had reentered their spacecraft after the historic moonwalk, Dr. Hannibal told me via mental telepathic communication: “You were the focal point on Earth for transmitting the change in frequency for third dimensional frequency form of human bodies. All men on Earth will notice some change in their bodies, though this may come to their attention very gradually.”
On the seventh day, Katoomi/Archangel Michael, titular head of the Hierarchal Board, contacted me to relay that at the splashdown of the Apollo 11 crew the next day, July 24th, I would be released from my special assignment:
“Your special attention, prayers and light-body projections, as well as those of all Mark-Age associates who are in proper spiritual understanding of this mission, helped raise the astronauts sufficiently in vibration and spiritual consciousness so they had a deeper and more spiritual appreciation of what they have accomplished for all mankind. There has been a rise in race consciousness.
“From this point onward the light workers on Earth will have better contact with their fellowmen. But it has been necessary for us to use channels and broadcasting units of light through physical vessels such as yourself on the Earth plane itself to do this work. Regardless of 
whether or not the program workers personally feel they have been influential in this task, they have been necessary and a prerequisite to our functions and goals. You have completed your task. The men who have been instruments for us shall be returned to you on Earth safe and well.”
On January 9, 1971, Dr. Hannibal channeled this through me, at NASA in Houston with Mark: “[Earthman] actually is breaking the barriers of his physical environment and body when he goes out into space. This is absolutely necessary for him to do in his physical body. It is not so important that he do it by mechanical means or through computer services, such as being demonstrated by other areas and other nations in their explorations into space.
“It is good, it is fine to do these things via mechanics. But it is absolutely essential, in these Latter Days and in his ability to lift himself beyond his own physical body and his own limited consciousness of mortal being, that he do it in the physical sense of the word. It is so very important that your astronauts be seen and that it be known unto all men that all men have created and have cracked the environment beyond Earth and have gone beyond that which is keeping them in lower areas of experience and experiment. They have created forms by which they can reach out beyond that which has them chained in the Earth.”

Overwhelming and, for me personally, regretful that looking back I was so unaware of what really was transpiring and the utter importance of it all; plus, the incredible work done and still continuing and never stopping by the Holy Ones. An inadequate but eternally grateful feeling comes over me, wondering with the ALL OF ME how I can help and assist and be all that I can in the ushering in of the fourth dimension and the new Earth. There seems to be such a tremendous need, even for our understanding of things, in bringing about the changes necessary and the unity of help and action for success. We must, we will succeed. Amen.
Wow, Motah! Thanks for this great spiritual historical record to accompany all the interviews and other media attention to the Apollo 11 mission anniversary today. I remember that day very well.
I was working as a naturalist at Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota and remember adding this news that day to information I gave park visitors. The event not only expanded my awareness outward to natural objects and processes in our solar system, but heightened my appreciation and wonder for nature and evolutionary process on our own planet Earth.
That was also the day I first met Bill Bird, whom I later married and with whom I would discover Mark-Age and the spiritual space program.
That I experienced all these events while anchored physically in the Black Hills, a region of great spiritual significance to people of the First Nations, made July 20, 1969, a very significant day in my personal spiritual evolution as well.
Thank you, Cathie. That’s a wonderful story! Surely Spirit was getting you properly primed for your spiritual mission to come.
That summer of 1969, I was about to enter my senior year in high school. At the time of the moon landing, I was attending the 12th National Boy Scout Jamboree in Farragut State Park, Idaho, out in the wilderness. Since we had no TV, I was probably among the few on Earth who did not witness the landing on television. But I remember that evening well. I was huddled in my tent, out under the starry sky, listening to the event being broadcast live on a small transistor radio. It was thrilling to imagine the lunar scene!
Within a day or so, astronaut Frank Borman, sent by President Richard Nixon as a personal representative, spoke to all of us scouts at the jamboree. On a big movie screen on the outdoor stage, they projected the television film of Armstrong stepping onto the moon. But the image was so grainy and the detail and contrast so bad, that I really couldn’t make out what I was looking at! It was only after I got home, when I finally saw a replay on television, that I got to view what everyone else had seen.
