Then here’s the next question: as you know, I knew the village of Schmidrüti and the farm Hinterschmidrüti as well as Sitzberg, Wila, Turbenthal, and actually all of Tösstal since my early youth, and indeed, starting from the third year of my life. My mother is, indeed, a native of Ägetswil in Wila; consequently, I was already often in Tösstal with my mother and father during my childhood, when we visited my mother’s sister and so on. By the way, at that time, the roads weren’t paved yet, and the railroad still ran the coal locomotive. Then later, in adulthood, when I already had a family, I returned to Tösstal and to Schmidrüti and Hinterschmidrüti as a sales representative. And then, when I gave up my job as a night watchman in 1974, which I had received after a construction phase, on that occasion, I became acquainted with Jacobus, and I successfully operated as a healer in Hinwil, and then, Mrs. Herzog came to me in 1975 from Root, Switzerland, in order to receive treatment from me. She then told me that she and her husband owned a farm in Tösstal, and indeed, Hinterschmidrüti in Schmidrüti. Then, it suddenly fell to me, like scales from the eyes, that yes, Sfath and Asket had previously said that I would establish a "Free Community of Interests" and would then purchase the farm Hinterschmidrüti with the members, in order to build a center for the mission from that. Suddenly, I also saw all the pictures again that one had shown me as to how the center would eventually look. The result was that I then immediately brought into being the “Free Community of Interests” at Wihaldenstrasse 10 in Hinwil, after which everything then arose in such a way as one predicted to me. Now the question about this, and indeed, a question from our group: did you have your fingers in play with Mrs. Herzog’s appearing to me in Hinwil? I mean, did you influence Mrs. Herzog in this regard and then also later with the purchase price? | ||

INTRODUCTION
The Semjase Silver Star Centre is in Switzerland... [continue reading]
FACILITIES AND FUNCTION
It is a place of learning, reading and relaxation. [continue reading]
PUBLICATIONS AND IMAGES
The centre publishes its publication(s)[2] at irregular, sporadic intervals throughout the month and year on its website, which is in German. This constitutes the reason why translations have to be prepared into other languages, which emerge some time later. [continue reading]
ENVIRONMENT
The centre is a lush, safe and healthy place to be. [continue reading]
VISITING AND VOLUNTEERING
Individuals visit the centre from all over the world. [continue reading]
Visiting, volunteering and all other enquiries such as camping in a tent in the designated camping area is all arranged directly and personally with them through their website, by phone and email. There are certain visiting times during the day which are different on a Sunday, available on their website. They prefer to communicate in the German language even if these speaking abilities are still basic because it is the language spoken by them and in this country, Switzerland. However communication in English and other languages is possible with many individuals who are bilingual or multilingual. Giving plenty of notice of plans to visit is appreciated as indicated on their website and because it allows them to plan their own visits and own schedules. There is an 'English language FIGU Forum' section dedicated to Visiting the Semjase Silver Star Centre which is archived back to late 1999 if you wanted more information or have questions, they've all probably been answered already by now.
It is possible to eat a meal at the centre, prices and conditions as well as arranging it, all occurs with them, details are on their website and by contacting them and check because it may have to be confirmed in advance of arrival.
Lodging is not possible at the SSSC. Volunteers who have arranged everything with them, stay in tents. There are two designated camping areas, one up the hill and one down the hill, both offer a reasonable area in which to pitch a small tent. Visitors tend to make lengthy preparations before setting off and before arriving, despite this not necessarily having to occur, see next section. But it is wise to make preparations; lodging and accommodation for the stay nearby tends to be at the nearby local hostel, lodge and inn, however there are hotels, motels and even resorts further afield available with some extra travelling. If you are staying in a tent it is recommended whatever time of the year to check there are not holes in the ground sheet as the ground may become wet, footwear that can tolerate wet, to have a warm sleeping bag and additional cloths to replace wet ones if necessary, see some general camping website. There is a well kept and premium designated block, which was kindly donated by a fellow camper some years ago, with toilet, shower and wash room with a coin operated hot water boiler, behind the SSSC for those guests. There are many rules to adhere to while at the SSSC, such as about tidying up after yourself and keeping things neat, tidy and clean, as you go, on their website. Staying in a tent at the SSSC is not like any of the above mentioned accommodation options, there is no housekeeper or no cleaner for you, it comes with its own heir of responsibility and duties to take on, and because there are others sharing the space, and it is nice for other visitors to receive the same pleasant environment as you recieved.
GETTING THERE AND WHEN
Using a search engine to plan routes and transportation or a satnav are the usual methods used for getting there today. [continue reading]
The best time of year to visit is during the summer months for the weather. Summer is opposite months to southern hemisphere winter. The warmth may allow for a t-shirt if you’re lucky in May, June, July, August, but pack a light weight rain jacket and jumper for the occasional shower and for sunrise/early morning/night. Weather, temperature and climate in this area of Switzerland is similar to parts and areas of United Kingdom, Washington State, New Zealand and Japan's climate, its temperate, moderate with no excessive heat and it is moderated by the nearby mountain range. Switzerland's fauna and flora is similar to the rest of Europe’s and the United Kingdom's, with a rare poisonous European adder snake and rare European hornet wasp/insect and a few other minor insect and animal dangers to be aware of, all harmless if not disturbed, some visitors may not have known they have hay fever (Pollen Allergy) until they arrive but symptoms are mild and tolerable - in case you thought it was entirely risk free, it nearly is but have a short research awareness before you arrive if you've never been to Europe or the climate. But for most it will amount to common sense, it is a safe, civilized, lush and pleasant place to visit during the summer months.
There are roads, buses, trams, trains, aircraft, ferries, all over Europe. It’s usually possible to find someone who will speak English or another non-local language with you if you get lost and even if they can’t speak lots with you, they are often friendly enough to entertain attempting to.
It is possible to take public transport up to a short walking distance of the centre from anywhere in the world without any or little prior transport planning or lengthy schedule preparations, if you are brave and relaxed enough, however check the schedule if it is a Sunday because times may vary slightly compared to the rest of the weeks schedule. A confirmation of arrival from the centre is courteous and respectful, if you intend to enter the grounds, and greeting someone on arrival to let them know you've arrived is polite and right.
Sign up for the European Health Insurance Card if from Europe and check the T&C's for your specific country as you may need additional cover, if your arriving from outside Europe you'll need to buy health insurance cover; if you want to volunteer at the centre and show it to them, which is usually comparatively reasonably priced. Emergency phone numbers in Switzerland are 144 for Ambulance, 117 for Police, 118 for Fire and 1414 1415 for air rescue from a mountain. It might be worth knowing that Switzerland is neither an EU nor EEA member but is part of the single market, for when you pass through customs and excise/import and export.
The main thing to be aware of may be the economic differences and value of money there for many visitors. Check with a current and up to date cost of living comparison website before going.
Switzerland has its own customs, traditions, policies, laws, standards etc like all countries do. It is clever, as well as respectful to develop some level of awareness of them before going, as it would be for any nation you might visit.
TRIVIA
Many of the beamship photos were taken at this location and nearby locations. [continue reading]
There are many interesting facts about and events related to the Semjase Silver Star Centre, too many to list here, contained inside and throughout the Contact Reports.[citations needed]
SSSC is in a flight path to Zurich International Airport, Zürich-Flughafen also known as Kloten Airport. Which means the commercial airliners as they make their runway approach from far off lands, fly in lower and above the centre and can be heard and seen throughout the day and night.
