It’s an English website, but it's happy to link to other languages, any language, even in the body of the text where contextually appropriate such as part of a reference or citation and of course on the [[External Links]] page. The links have to be labelled nicely and compassionately so potential clickers know what they're linking to. The quality of other languages cannot necessarily be verified and external content may change and become outdated, so we discriminate in favour of links to long-term, established websites and URLs that are unlikely to change soon. The original Billy Meier documents are in German which technically means it's an English and German website. The discussion tabs at the top left should be in English, but it’s acceptable to write in another language if an English translation is included with it. The [[Downloads]], [[Rare Archives]] sections and a few individual pages, may be or include items presented indigenously in other languages and/or contain bilingual and multilingual document links of varying consistencies. |

The term “resp.” is an "English" abbreviation which is not English, so does not appear in dictionaries. It seems to be quite often used by native German speakers when writing in English, when they want to use respectively as a conjunction and not as an adverb. In German, instead of bzw., a writer can also use respektive as a conjunction; this explains the mistake. It’s not serendipitous because “resp.” is used in Billy Meier’s original German source text. It may possibly be to make translating easier.<sup>[citation needed]</sup> Translators have probably been muddled / confused as to how to present it, and therefore sometimes opt to retain it and incorporate it into the English translation.

In English this may not even be technically possible to do, perhaps a language person could weigh in and give a better answer. In German it is possible to add words together to create new words, even without a space or dash. It means we can present the very long complicated new German words from the original book in English without breaking up what is written. The German portion (where included) reveals what was written before being translated. |

We advise against a negative review of it because our historical research into poor reviews have shown they’ve attracted unnecessary unpleasantness for the makers, writers, authors, and it’s a waste of time and for what audience. A neutral presentation such as listing it and even a critical-analysis is acceptable. It’s not fake so take care to check before. |

"We are only here in order to fulfil our mission and the prevention of the catastrophe and to prepare you for your difficult assignment as prophet. For further things, like help with evolution and so forth, other forms of life from your own universe are responsible, who will initially called themselves Pleiadians. Already for millennia, they supervise the Earth and keep those space-faring races in check who wish evil for you Earth humans and want to gain control over Earth humanity with the employment of religion and all the related deceptions, hallucinations, and trickery with which they buoy up the Earth humans with false promises."
Asket, February 1953
Introduction
Eduard Meier first communicated with extraterrestrials from 1942 to 1953 with Sfath, an older gentlemen from Erra (Pleiades / Plejaren).
Subsequent contacts then emerged from 1953 to 1964 with Asket, a woman who originates from the DAL Universe.
Eduard since 1975 to the 3rd of February 2017, then had 1704 personal and 1294 telepathic contacts [continue reading]
Characteristics

The Pleiadians / Plejaren and their Federation members are folks with physical bodies that for the most part look very similar to the Earth folks. There are some anatomical differences, but such differences usually belong to the Federation members. [continue reading]

The UFO concerns of 'Billy' Eduard Albert Meier (BEAM) are but a small part of the tip of a vast iceberg hiding the doctrine of the truth of creation and its laws and commandments. BEAM's mission is to teach this doctrine of Earth humanity. All the knowledge and the whole truth are extremely extensive and of profound importance to every human being. Consequently everything has to be comprehensively recorded and made accessible to all people.
However, this requires a lot of work and also much needed capital investment, money, resource donation and voluntary labour. Therefore, the FIGU seeks those interested in the creative-natural truth, people who are willing to, free of charge, translate the writings and books of the 'Freie Interessengemeinschaft für Grenz- und Geisteswissenschaften and Ufologie-Studien' FIGU, into a variety of languages. To find a number of publishers which donors can purvey translated works, being printed and therefore distributed.
The efforts in this regard must however go out exclusively by the respective interested persons, as the FIGU labourers are not financially capable and able to place themselves in such a situation and besides that it is also not their job.
With regard to the production of fonts and books as well as their printing and distribution, SSSC is solely responsible for the German-speaking area, while for other languages and countries their own interests (language translation) must be found.
To translate the scriptures and books, it is necessary that both the German and the translation language are perfectly mastered and that the contents of the script and the book are thoroughly studied and understood, which requires a thorough study, at least in relation to the all-embracing doctrine of creative natural truth.
