   Heaven's Gate was an American UFO religion based in San Diego, California, founded and led by Marshall Applewhite (1931–1997) and Bonnie Nettles (1928–1985). On March 26, 1997, in a

   Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search The logo used by the Heaven's Gate group Heaven's Gate was an American UFO religion based in San Diego, California , founded and led by Marshall Applewhite (1931–1997) and Bonnie Nettles On March 26, 1997, in a period that Comet Hale-Bopp was at its brightest, police discovered the bodies of 39 members of the group who had committed suicide. According to Jacques Vallée in his 1979 book Messengers of Deception the group began in the early 1970s when Marshall Applewhite was recovering from a heart attack during which he claimed to have had a near-death experience . He came to believe that he and his nurse, Bonnie Nettles, were "the Two", that is, the two witnesses spoken of in Book of Revelation 11:3 in the Bible . After a brief and unsuccessful attempt to run an inspirational bookstore, they began traveling around the country giving talks about their belief system. As with some other New Age faiths they combined Christian doctrine (particularly the ideas of salvation and apocalypse ) with the concept of evolutionary advancement and elements of science fiction , particularly travel to other worlds and dimensions.

   Extractions: Whether Hale-Bopp has a "companion" or not is irrelevant from our perspective. However, its arrival is joyously very significant to us at "Heaven's Gate ." The joy is that our Older Member in the Evolutionary Level Above Human (the "Kingdom of Heaven") has made it clear to us that Hale-Bopp's approach is the "marker" we've been waiting for the time for the arrival of the spacecraft from the Level Above Human to take us home to "Their World" in the literal Heavens. Our 22 years of classroom here on planet Earth is finally coming to conclusion "graduation" from the Human Evolutionary Level. We are happily prepared to leave "this world" and go with Ti's crew. If you study the material on this website you will hopefully understand our joy and what our purpose here on Earth has been. You may even find your "boarding pass" to leave with us during this brief "window." We are so very thankful that we have been recipients of this opportunity to prepare for membership in Their Kingdom, and to experience Their boundless Caring and Nurturing.

Cults There is an old saying, claiming that if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. While there may be an element of truth to that, we can say it is rather slight since there is a lot of history we know very well and still repeat. One example is the present-day economic crisis, which we've seen numerous times to one extent or another through the years. There are many others, but the purpose of this article is to shed historic light on a tragedy that occurred on March 26 th , 1997, which was the mass suicide of thirty-eight followers of the Heaven's Gate religious cult, and their leader, Marshall Applewhite, and why we should keep it and other such tragedies in mind. Some may ask, what is the historical lesson when it seems plain that the incident was just a bunch of kooks who fell for a doctrine of malarkey and done themselves in through faith not just in spirituality, but an alien race gathering up their disembodied souls because they had supposedly evolved beyond humanity. It isn't a bad question to pose, since it is incredibly difficult for most to see how anyone with a degree of sense would ingest large quantities of alcohol and Phenobarbital combined with a bag over the head in order to asphyxiate, leave the body behind, and then join the crew of a passing UFO cloaked in the wake of the Hale-Bopp comet. But we must understand what led these people to this if we're going to prevent ourselves and, more likely (we'd prefer to admit), our loved ones from following similar paths. At the end of March, 2009, it will have been twelve years since the incident; forgotten by many, and increasingly scoffed as time goes by for those who do remember.

    Extractions: By Yvette Urrea Rancho Sata Fe Ten years ago 39 Heaven's Gate religious cult members killed themselves inside a Rancho Santa Fe mansion, believing their souls would board a spaceship that was supposedly trailing the Hale-Bopp comet. It remains the country's worst mass suicide. Sheriff's deputies received a telephone tip about the suicides on March 26, 1997. Deputies Robert Brunk and Laura Gacek responded to the home at 18241 Colina Norte about 3:30 p.m. An anonymous caller had told a dispatcher that 40 people had committed suicide inside the home. Later that year, two former cult members committed suicide bringing the death toll to 41. The cult members inside the house reportedly decided to "shed their earthly containers" by ingesting a lethal concoction of pudding or applesauce, sedatives and vodka. Plastic bags were tied over their heads to make sure they reached what they called the Level Above Human. All but two people had purple shrouds draped over their upper bodies. Initially deputies believed the dead were all men because they all had close-cropped hair, but there were 21 women. They all wore black clothing with new, black Nike running shoes with a white swoosh. Black duffel bags containing their possessions were nearby.

    Extractions: Hale-Bopp The Great Comet of 1997 by Martin J Powell "Independent reports of the visual discoveries of a new comet have been received from Alan Hale and Thomas Bopp. All observers note the comet to be diffuse with some condensation and no tail, motion towards the west-northwest." British Astronomical Association Circular, 9th August 1995 I n June 1995 the American magazine published an article which discussed the likelihood of seeing unusual astronomical events such as meteor showers, supernovae and bright comets. A spectacular comet, it said, comes along typically every ten years or so. Astronomers had long been aware that, as we approached the end of the century (and indeed, the end of the millennium) we were long overdue for a really bright naked eye comet. The last bright comet that had attracted attention in recent times had been Comet West in 1976. Compared to the large number of bright comets that had been seen during the 19th century (some could even be seen in daylight) the 20th century had faired rather poorly.

    Extractions: Following an anonymous tip, police enter a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, an exclusive suburb of San Diego, California, and discover 39 victims of a mass suicide. The deceased21 women and 18 men of varying ageswere all found lying peaceably in matching dark clothes and Nike sneakers and had no noticeable signs of blood or trauma. It was later revealed that the men and women were members of the "Heaven's Gate" religious cult, whose leaders preached that suicide would allow them to leave their bodily "containers" and enter an alien spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet. The cult was led by Marshall Applewhite, a music professor who, after surviving a near-death experience in 1972, was recruited into the cult by one of his nurses, Bonnie Lu Nettles. In 1975, Applewhite and Nettles persuaded a group of 20 people from Oregon to abandon their families and possessions and move to eastern Colorado, where they promised that an extraterrestrial spacecraft would take them to the "kingdom of heaven." Nettles, who called herself "Ti," and Applewhite, who took the name of "Do," explained that human bodies were merely containers that could be abandoned in favor of a higher physical existence. As the spacecraft never arrived, membership in Heaven's Gate diminished, and in 1985 Bonnie Lu Nettles, Applewhite's "sexless partner," died.

    Extractions: April 3 - 10, 1 9 9 7 No, your eyes are not deceiving you. Marshall Applewhite, head ramrod of the Heaven's Gate religious cult, did bear an uncanny resemblance to Ray Walston, circa My Favorite Martian If this were the only TV/film connection in this bizarre saga, it would be weird enough, but the group seemed to take a number of cues from the entertainment industry. After watching the film Cocoon , for instance, members of the cult became convinced that they needed boats to make contact with the alien vessel that would take them to the "Next Level." Since the Heaven's Gate followers made quite a few connections between pop culture and religious belief, your superior correspondents are surprised no one else has commented on the phenomenon. In fact, Moe, Larry, and the unfortunate Curly Joe DeRita also took a journey to the Next Level 35 years ago in their 1962 feature-length Columbia film, The Three Stooges in Orbit The Stooges were never vulnerable to human attachments either and were rarely seen alone. Hell, they even slept in the same bed. (Like Heaven's Gate members, who practiced celibacy, the Stooges did not appear to be sexually active.) And did not Moe's co-leader, Curly, pass away prematurely like Bonnie Lu Nettles, Applewhite's co-founder and soulmate, did?
