Today I visited the center. I think it's not easy to find for people who don't know switzerland!
Anyway nice place, but Billy didn't come out because very busy. Great photo-books to see, pics never seen before.
When I was driving going to the center, on the highway a red light enveloped my car for few seconds. Maybe aliens checked me?

I was reading somewhere that a person by the name of Hermann Van Veen visited the Centre years ago, spoke to billy about his mission and later wrote songs and according to Billy his songs "are composed with honesty and sincerity and with exposition of SPiritual Teachings, truth and Creative laws etc."
Does anyone know who this artist is and where is his music? Thanks,

Hi Melli....


Herman van Veen is known to me. He is quite an excellent Dutch songwriter, and fuses some of his own humor into his shows. Have not seen him on the television , lately, though. He works the theaters, and small venues. Back in the 70-80ties he was a most visualized entertainer, here.

He does make 'pure' good and healthy Dutch music. Very good with Dutch lyrics,
as well. I would not say he would be number one on my list, but, he would still
be on my list as one of the most best Dutch song writers of all time, here.

He is very funny to see, when he gives a live show(looks a bit like a
clown...:-)..without the make-up). And always has the best of musicians around
him.

I guess, I would describe his music as being - FUN and HAPPY and Sensitive, and for all ages! -

So, I guess Billy would sense the same as I mentioned....

Edward.

Hi Randy,

Nice to meet you as well. And I like to compliment you for an interesting travel report from your
Visit to Hinterschmidtruti, which you Posted over at the PAR group on June 7th , and also
Thanks for sharing your photos as well.
You were lucky being able to spend so much time over there, and be there the dates when the passive group meeting was held. I hope one year to be able to participate in this meeting myself, as I think it is a great way to meet people. I was over there first time myself in the beginning July last year, and spent 3 days working on the Center (doing the so called ‘duty in Schmidtruti’) I also stayed at Freihof, and can still remember being waken up in the morning by the sound of bells from the many sheep and cows grassing on the steep Swiss hillside outside..

Regards
Kaare

URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!

Hey guys,
I'm planning a trip to switzerland to go to the sssc but i only got a week and a half to plan it.

can anyone please inform me, how long you can stay at the center and what do you have to do to get reservations/entrance pass. do i have to call them/send a letter/email and get my reservations/or entrance pass.

I'm asking this because on this forum there's been people saying that they've stayed there for a few days and then on the sssc info section it says visiting days are only on sundays.

and then people claiming they just showed up there and that's it without any reservations.

SO PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE!!!!!!.

Officially, you are required to obtain written permission to visit the center during ANY time other than the official visiting hours, on the appropriate day. If you are in a rush and need an accelerated permission, it might be possible through the moderator named Christian. I cannot speak for him, but he is a core group member as I understand it and might be able to forward an accelerated request for written permission to visit the center...IF you ask him nicely and IF he has the time and ability to help you with that. As I said, I cannot speak for him but this is only a suggested possibility...

Hi Original Dave

You cannot stay at the Center but have to use a hotel. There is a possibility to camp if you have a tent with you, but you have to get a permission in advance which will only be granted if you are coming to work on our land. There is no camping permitted if you just visit.
If you come unannounced you can stay for half an hour to buy books etc. but then have to leave.
On Sundays you are granted three hours time for questions etc.

If you want to visit the SSSC on workdays, you will have to work.
We neither have nor demand an entrance pass.

Best regards,
Christian

Thanks Rarena,

But i would prefer camping, i think it's more of an adventure.
i'm already booking my flight but i need to know one more thing is there any problem with the tent size, like is there a limit cause if i show up with a huge tent will i be allowed to set it up, or will i have to take a small one.

and do i have to pay/or buy my food or will it be free for working there.

You will have to use a small tent (space for about four people).
You will have to pay for your food (bring it with you or eat at the Gasthaus Freihof).
If you are working between 10.00 am and 17:00 pm (with a break at noon) you will receive one meal for free (at the SSSC).

... weeding, "cleaning" the forest, raking the gravel path, etc. (for men) ... weeding, deep-freezing vegetables, cleaning, ... (for women).
You will have to bring leather gloves, raincoat, rubber boots, etc. because work is done even if it's raining or cold.

Awesome awesome, haha we do that a fair bit here in New Zealand haha. What if we are filming a documentary? (Apparently Billy Meier still does media presentations for Documentaries but not interviews etc as far as my knowledge goes), my father is keen on making a documentary on The Meier Case so he can distribute here in New Zealand and possibly other places too, our whole family is researching the meier case everyday and we are delighted to have come across it. He is also thinking of making a feature film on Billy Meier's life and plejaren etc (my father is a director, producer, writer etc). So he wants to visit the FIGU and hopefully gather information to put forward to the documentary and to the feature film. But do you think this would be allowed by Billy Meier and the Plejaren? thank you. :-)
