Providing prisoners with books like The Way to Live and the Might of the Thoughts so that they may reeducate themselves and become truly free
I was inspired to create this project because my friend Sam forwarded this video to me. The video is actually quite mild in regards to what really goes on in prisons, solitary confinement, etc.
The only real way out is in, as we often hear said. And so I am suggesting The True Freedom Project. It’s a project that each interested person participates in independently and co-creates by helping to provide Billy Meier’s books, DVDs and publications on the spiritual teaching to prisoners, including juvenile offenders, so that they may indeed learn the way self-responsibility, the law of cause and effect, etc. This project will have no central offices, website, administrators, etc., unless and until there’s really a need for it. Self-responsibility here is again the key for those wishing to assist others, not creating bureaucracies, etc. This is not a FIGU-created project and it’s open to anyone to participate in.
It’s to be done without proselytizing or missionizing.
How to Do It
I suggest contacting the appropriate personnel at any jail or prison in your area, or elsewhere, that has a library. Tell them what you’d like to do, with a brief explanation that the materials are a non-religious, belief-free spiritual teaching for the benefit of the prisoners. Get their approval to send the material, along with the name and mailing address of the appropriate person in charge to whom it should be sent.
Ordering
When you order the material, put the institution’s mailing information in place of your own address. This way you’ll save additional mailing costs when I mail it directly to them and I’ll provide you with tracking information so you can be assured that the materials are delivered to the right persons. Of course you’re free to let them know that the materials were ordered by you.
Another Option
If you can’t afford to send any of Meier’s books, consider making copies of the various free spiritual teaching articles on my site, including the ones linked to in the Translation section, including in other languages. Be sure to see if there are any copyright restrictions or other requirements for reproducing the articles. I suggest printing them up and putting them into a protective binder. You may also want to put each page in a protective plastic cover (good quality double-sided printing is recommended to keep paper costs down), etc.
You can also include a copy of this article to introduce and explain the project.
Some recommended material from the shop:
The Way to Live
The Might of the Thoughts
The Goblet of the Truth
The Psyche
The Spiritual Teaching in Everyday Life
The Consciousness Awareness Workshop
That’s a great idea. I will write to Sing Sing prison. Recently, I approached my local library to give a lecture and got an initial approval. In the back of my mind, I forgot to mention that no Billy Meier books or movies or audiobooks were available from any of the nearest 20 or so libraries included in their sharing network. I would also like to write a letter to some libraries and implore them to order some of his classics. All of those books, and none of them are Meier’s…. yet.
This is such an awesome idea. Helping those that have a lot of time on their hands. And so much better than coming out of the clink as a born again christian.
Last November I laid a wreath at a Remembrance Day ceremony and was informed the legion was looking for recruits. My first thought was the many military people suffering from PTSD and how they could be helped by The Psyche from Billy. Well they preapproved me before I even put in my application. But when I read the fine print it said that I could not overthrow my government. That I had to defend the RCMP and their families and make sure they had everything they wanted. Well what about everyone else? Eventhough there was a thorough investigation into the 1900 doors that were kicked in by the RCMP in High River in 2013, there was no accountability and it seems our government will not let citizens know who told them to do it. I explained this to the legion members and that with all good conscious, I could not join. It made me kind of sad because I couldn’t help them but I felt that if I did I would be a hypocrite. What a dilemma.
Sheila here in Australia we call it the ‘wedgy’

Ouch!
Hehe
Michael fantastic idea.
Just one note of caution back in 2005 or 2006 if my memory serves me correct I had donated Guido’s book along with the Talmud of Jmmanuel to the State Library of Victoria now subsequent to this I found out through Vibka about a couple of years ago that there was a major flaw in TJ and that it may present a problem.
Anyway luck would have it that the library didn’t put it on their shelves last time I checked.
So would it be wise to ask FIGU for permission before we do donate books or do something similar on an ongoing basis?
What do you think?
I asked Billy this a few years ago.
Hi Billy, I have noticed that people incarcerated in prisons have lots of time on their hands & some seem to change their life around, sometimes for Good and sometimes for Evil. I have noticed many prisoners covert to Islam, Christianity, Nazism & even Terrorism. They do so because of the influence of other prisoners & the type of reading material they are exposed too while in prison. I was wondering if your books should be made available to prisoners while in prison?
Answer
Of course it would be very fortunate if Billy’s books etc. were available in prisons. However, this will hardly be the case from the side of the prisons, but the prisoners could apply for such books. Btw: There is a prisoner in a U.S. prison who is studying the “Spirit Lessons”.
Norm have you donated any books to either a library or a prison yourself personally?
Only to a library.
I hope you have asked for Billy’s permission first before doing that MH.
Why?
Because it would be a humane deed. It would clarify to others in a democracy what you want to do is okay with Billy. I would support your actions if I personally knew that it was the right thing to do.
Darcy,
We’re not talking about slipping cyanide-laced birthday cakes into death row so that the prisoners could die with a contorted smile on their faces.
Did you really not understand the BASIC idea of people taking self-responsibility? Do you really wait for Billy Meier to tell you it’s okay to think for yourself, reach out to provide the nourishment in those books to those who are interested in it, etc., etc.?
I’m honestly a bit shocked. Maybe you haven’t even…READ those books. If you had, how would you even begin to come up with such a spineless point of view?
IN a “democracy” one doesn’t need to get approval from someone else to think for themselves.
Geez.
MH,
Is it better to first learn German to read the German text instead of English, or does it not really matter. I read somewhere in the contact reports that the text written in German has stored impulses or something or rather.
It’s said that the German is the best because of the impulses, etc. But you can also derive a lot of benefit while you read the English and are learning German.
Forget it.
Wow.. I’m not attacking you or trying to belittle you but could you clarify more on your comment? The truth is the truth, no matter who reads it. Give it to anyone… Everyone… Someone…it doesn’t change the fact that it’s the truth. The more people that read it, the better. This information is for all walks of life… Maybe more so for the ones walking on an evil path and ended up in prison. The truth is the light that shelters us from any negativity. There probably isn’t much more negativity anywhere else than in a prison. I get it that we want to praise him…BEAM I mean… but that comment right there is probably why some skeptics feel this is all part of a cult… Unless I’ve misunderstood your comment?
Darcy,
This aspect is what has turned me off from being anything official with FIGU. Well not in a direct manor but within a by product of our insatiable need to always need guidance from others, depend on them. In some ways that which is ours is nothing other than what someone else thinks, writes, does, believes? Though maybe in many ways living and trying to rebel against all forms of mass belief stricken religion propels me to reject all versions of mass ‘thinking’. In this manor religions and their many physical, as well as mostly mental byproducts. As thus my tiny island of thought comes here for guidance and vision. And maybe someday a turn of thoughts to that which represents the best vision of the world standing before thee.
As for all occasions resulting in a need of a church aspect, it has been my brother and my approach to wait outside the church in protest(weather permitting). To show our silent movement of what resides within and the horror it has unleashed on this thinking creatures created world. The chances I have got to sit outside a church knowing all my family, friends, community reside within, at the disdain of our actions is nothing short of disgraceful, signing their own thoughts within what others think, even ours.
Self responsibility seems to begin with taking the reins of cause and effect within the might of our individual thoughts, neutral positively. As it would seem we all have the power and ability to truly be an individual, equal. To make our own choices as to what to see in the real world. A daily battle within the never ending conundrum of beliefs we all mostly find ourselves surrounded by.
Darcy, sorry if you’re offended in anyway… I wasn’t trying to piggy back on what MH was saying, or trying to gang up on you, but my comment was my honest reaction after reading what you wrote… Just wanted some clarification from you because you seem to be an insightful person and I’m curious what you meant…
Adrian I want a true democracy not a bunch of hands waving in the air and dictators preaching.
Darcy, your comment is ridicullous. Books can be bough, given, shared and stored. I don’t see why I would need to ask the author’s permission to lend a book to a friend or a partie who might be interestested with. Actually I am frustrated that not a single book that ‘Billy’ as wrote can be found in the biggest Library of my city. Not a single book by Billy! Its a shame.
Well Maxime it never even crossed my mind at the time either about what the consequences would be on donating books to a library because it didn’t even cross my mind that it had any!
From a personal email exchange with FIGU Australia member Vibka Walder I had learned that TJ had a major flaw and that such publication in a public place presented a problem.
So this was totally unexpected from my end.
Had I known this back in 2005-2006 I wouldn’t have donated the TJ.
So can you imagine the damage it would’ve done had the librarians put it on their shelves
Yes Matt. But I think there are no problem to do so with books such as; The Psyche, The Way to Live and The might of the Thoughts…. those books should easily find a place in our library, in fact I don’t understand why they are still missing from most if not all libraries.
Is it really ‘my’ task to buy these books for ‘my’ city library??? Gosssh
I’m not sure… In a normal world with normal libraries these books should already be there to rent for me and other normal people. I don’t see any negative consequences for donating one of these 3 books to any normal library. I am stunned to realised that it is to us poor folks to buy these books and make sure copies exists in our cities, it escape my understanding why the only person in my whole city who knows about the books Billy have written is… ME?! what the heck! Such a shame for us people and such a pride for me at the same time. … well thanks to me there are copies of various books already in my city, but they are all in my possession and I don’t feel like donating them, especially considering what they cost me compared to my income.
I have a strong doubt as to how many more people in my city knows about BEAM and are actually reading Billy’s book… Truly it feels like I am the only one. :/
I already dream of the day that I will meet with someone here in my city who’s already interested in the teaching that Meier as written, but something tells me that if such person exist it would be perhaps by the biais of me.
Any ways… I might donate one or two books the day when I will be wealthy enough…
Thanks for doing it if you have too much money in your pokets.
Salome
Maxime I think I feel the same as you in terms of being the only one among the sea of masses who are aware of BEAM.
Whilst I was in Korea I just couldn’t believe that I may have been the only one among 52 million people who managed to cross the line on the BEAM case so to speak.
It felt awfully solitary at times.
Anyway regarding the donation of books I am sure that even I can do more than I am doing despite my meagre and modest financial situation.
Those who are truly into spiritual teachings aren’t exactly attracted by the material riches it brings nor does this case by the nature of its content attract the financially well off types either.
So I guess if possible we can do more.
This is the spiritual teachings lived live in action and part and parcel of the whole process on becoming that which the teachings intended us human beings to become as in being more loving and wiser.
But at the same time if you haven’t got anything then even if you wanted to give you can’t.
I haven’t got much and I am not rich either but still I managed to give away most of my Meier materials.
So its possible
I believe that many prisoners have a certain printing quota.
Therefore the delivery of an electronic document that may be printed is something worth exploring in tandem.
To my thinking, if contact could be made with a single prisoner that is incarcerated, who may use their printing quota to produce a document in-house, that may be shared with others, then that would go a long way to penetrating prisons.
What a great idea!
We should also consider the mental institutes that even still today keep the patients, the poor folks, locked in and are still giving and still reciving innadequate treatments of all sorts. The book The Psyche, is probably… is certainly the best tool(book) that exist here on this planet to help getting better and balanced and also to understanding one’s mental illness.
I have it with me, and seriously actually I sleep with it.
I realised that most of the people locked in jail and in special universities of studies mental institutes are more likely normal human beings who deserve much better (we are no test subject -_-).
Thanks for those ‘outside’ who can afford it and send a beautifull copy of this book to your nearest mental institutes(prisons). Our Docs and Psys also need to read it.
Strong from within!

Although it’s a good initiative, the last thing Billy needs is any more psychopaths on his case, so to speak, so I think I agree with Darcy. . . . You’d better ask Billy about it before you do anything in this direction, Michael.
Why don’t you and/or Darcy explain your thinking instead?
Mister Horn is not talking about sending some beamship photographs and documentation on the Meier case and contact reports… that would be weird.
There is no translation, edition/re-edition, reselling etc. so there is no need for Billy’s permission to by a book a send it as a gift.
The books ‘Might of the Thoughts’ and ‘The Psyche’ are two great books by Billy (masterworks) that could help a lot of prisoner or people trapped in mental hospital. The Psyche is very easy to read plus it takle the very basics of the mental illness and is very helpful to anyone who can read english, I will help anyone to escape his/her prison of thoughts and learn how to think. These poop persons whom have a lot of time to spare and could be “rewarded” with one good book, as a gift.
I, personally would be so glad to recieve “The Way to Live” as many other convicts too.
If anyone wants to send me the book “The Way to Live” I am currently stuck at:

Hi MH, that’s a brilliant idea, I was saying last week that I’d love to purchase 100 copies (at least) of might of the thoughts, to place in liberies in our local area, with maybe a poster up too to make people aware that theres a new book available. I’m hoping to get funding to do that though. The prison project is a great idea, I’ll try my best to find a way, even without funding, but that means I personally could only purchase a few copies. But the toughest challenge will be getting them to accept the material which is written In Billy’s books. But if we don’t ask……haha.
Gee you really are a an attention seeker aren’t you Mr Impersonator what next are you going to use the name MH and then Billy Meier followed by Ptaah.
I know what you did last summer
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_Me_If_You_Can
Presumably the imposter “matt lee” will have a different email address to you when posting comments. Unless they’ve hacked into the comments area and lifted the email addresses 🙂
You’re right Antony, it was the same spammer whose most recent appearance was as “Jan”. I guess we won’t be seeing him any more.
Over the years all I have been able to find in my state library system is an exercise video created by Michael? Down the road it has always been a dream to seed my local libraries with books and videos. Would be great to see Billy and MH’s name in the state system at least:)
Though hard to give up such treasures of mine for a chance the royal round house of christians/catholics tossing them out. Is quite the hierarchy of nonsense to what enters the library and what doesn’t, in my area? I could only imagine that prisons would be even harder…. though have not yet tried either so ones again talk of things only needing action..
See what the future holds as thoughts slowly, over many, many years turn to action.
Thanks Philip, of course I don’t want my name to be in your state’s system for anything other than, well, nice reasons.
So far so good,
Another quick look and did not even find the exercise video. Was a few years back digging.
No information is better than what many could have. Though someday hope to change that and get you a little, well, better known around here… And that one armed guy in Switzerland of course:)
Thanks for that Michael
Obviously this bozo has too much time on his hands by treating this blog and such an important case as the Billy Meier contact case as if it was a joke.
You can’t get any more stupid than this attention seeking ‘anonymous’ trying to have his wicked fix all to the detriment of, in the end, his own person.
Amazing how dumb and stupid this imbecile is.
And I make no apologies by using these words as it accurately reflects his action shown so far under 1 million other user names so to speak.
Yeah, I dumped a few of his other “Jan” comments. I’m sure he’ll wake up to what a dope he’s been. If not in this life, maybe in the next.
Hi Michael, I trust you are well. Some 6 or so years back, I was in a library in Biggan Hill u.k. on one of their comp’ terminals revising some of Billy’s teachings (either your site or futureofmankind) The following day I returned to revise more of ‘ questions to Billy’
only to find that the sites had been blocked by the head librarian… I spent the next 20 mins of my alloted time repeatedly pressing the ‘ I object’ button, then left. The following day I once more returned to try again, with the same result, but this time they had cited a reason on the screen…wait for it… ‘CRIMINAL INSANITY’ !
I objected to the librarian, and eventually decided to bar myself from the library before I was barred. The following day I’m sure I saw the librarian entering a church…
WOW! I’ll let that sink in.
Indeed ! Not to put another damper your way, but, My local pub ‘Hall and Woodhouse (and they own about 1000 pubs in the u.k.) has blocked both your site and F of Mankind
citing them under ‘Alternative religions’ I have of course objected, and sent a message back to their server (forget who it is at present) but to no avail…
By the way, when I get round to it I have 2 stories to share with you privatly.
gary lomas,
In endless irony, the message on the screen was probably technically correct. I also think that a new world record might even have been set by the librarian for “fastest confession”.
Interesting it was some 9 or so years ago had this same thing happen to me at a coffee shop here in Minnesota. Was banned as a ‘cult’ of all things but used the old yahoo groups….Plejarens are real??(cant remember its name) and we all messaged them and were able to change its access. Have been able to get into all sites ever since, though don’t go to many coffee shops anymore. A college thing maybe in my not so far of days……….
Well Gary I guess some people refuse to give up their religious beliefs and are afraid to face the REAL TRUTH of the laws of Creation and all that is outside of their sphere of influence(earth). To me those people have small minds and don`t want to see and face the BIGGER PICTURE(cosmic universes). Fortunately in this day and age we have our own computers where we can look up all the information that Billy has written for us on the internet so why bother with these old fashion libraries whrere religion,politics,statice-quo still prevail even in the twenty-first century. I guess some ple are stillvery cosed minded and are still wishing to live in the past instead of the future and are afraid of the future etc. These eople are a fraid of their own shadow and still wish to live in the dark.
There is more of a connection when reading direct from a actual book in your hands then off of a computer… Ptaah explained it well in contact # 542. That hit me like a ton of bricks… And makes so much sense to me. I have not read many books in my life, but when I did compared to reading off of a computer, there seemed to be more taken from an actual book than reading from a computer… For me at least… My issue with these books in a library is there will be a lot of late charges considering it could take a life time to thoroughly study and learn from one of BEAMS books…
While there may be late charges if someone is really interested in the Meier material, they may realize that it’s less expensive to…buy the book.
Especially books of importance… I much rather own it and have it handy for times that call for it… But it would be awesome for some that read a bit while at the library and then get interested and then buy it themselves… along with researching all other aspects of the case…The library could prove to be a good marketing tool…
adrian martinez,
I spent some time thinking about that somewhat seriously from a physics point of view.
I don’t know if you recall those articles talking about consciousness being a substance, but supposing for a moment that is true, and referring to such things as “fine matter” clinging to bones etc as described by Meier, then it makes sense that reading a physical book provides an opportunity for the fine matter of thought to permeate the physical book in your hands.
Therefore, upon re-reading, the reverse might occur, with previous fine matter thoughts flowing back into the individual.
I also recall some gentleman or other a long time ago allegedly inventing an apparatus that could test some signal or other emanating from physical objects like art pieces that was supposedly reliable enough that he could tell who wrote a certain thing or who drew artwork.
That idea also smacks of things like psychics, sensitive people, or mythology where physical objects owned or worn by people could be used to locate them, along with previous mythology whereby powerful people would burn such things as hair and nail clippings so as to not allow them to fall into the hands of those with malicious intent. The same goes for some cannibal cultures whereby enemies were eaten so as to “gain their power” or to “become them”.
I have no idea if any of this is true and cannot properly substantiate any of it since I do not own a fine-matter-O-meter, but it is interesting to think about.
Now I am going to take serious issue with this proverb from now on ‘a fool and his money are soon parted’ and revise this with ‘a wise man soon parted with his money’.
Libraries will love Billy’s profit making books and the wise men.
Well you could always falsify one of the books whilst pretending it’s the genuine article 🙂
That is actually a good idea: giving self help books (evolving their consciousness) and we can also do that in public libraries as well… Although the prisoners may be a more captive audience… (sorry for the pun). Humor can be good for lightening up a bad situation… knowing we can solve many of our problems with our own thoughts… and the feelings come from there… is very good for feeling free. Look at Nelson Mandela… 27 years in prison and went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize and the Soviet equivalent of their peace medal and become a father figure for his country. Not everyone in prison is a criminal and EVERYONE can improve themselves… they are called correctional institutes for crying out loud… So yeah… but not only the prisons… how about the hard working stiffs who can’t afford HBO which many of the prisoners have for free! I understand it costs $50,000 to house a prisoner for a year… they are a money making industry to many and there are many who profit from it! The books Michael mentioned would be very good for anyone… not just prisoners. An lest we forget… Billy has written this book and offered it (although it is mentioned we do not read off the computer very well…) but for those that cannot afford any books here is one for FREE here: http://au.figu.org/kelch.html. It is difficult to read books online so a book in the library would many ANYONE happy… I like the Might of Thoughts.

I have cataracts which makes reading the small print difficult so reading on the computer is better for me because I can zoom-in and make the print larger for easy reading which you can`t do with a real book unless you get the large print books which are very heavy and hard to hold.
Last year I asked the local council libraries whether they accepted donated books and they cited that there wasn’t enough shelf spaces to house them so I was to best try somewhere else and that somewhere else also had the same problem.
This is the problem endemic of this country that goes right to the roots in that on any given day you have any number of people who simple don’t give a rat’s bum.
Unless it concerns them directly people rather try to avoid hassles and inconvenience if they possibly can.
Only when they can get something out of it directly to their benefit will they start moving their jello bums and trunk legs.
I mean why the hell do people make life so hard for other people and in the process make it so hard for themselves by screwing up the whole cultural landscape.
Just a bit of care and concern and some initiative by everyone will do so much wonders for everyone which will trickle down to every nook and cranny of society where eventually everyone benefits but nah not a care in the world.
Oh well maybe there isn’t enough space on the shelf for these kind of things I guess.
Better to buy the book and read it in your own time when you want to instead of rushing through a library book that has to be returned at a certain time say in two weeks.
