Editing Ground Crew Project (section)

==Further rescheduling and shift in focus==
Nidle and the Ground Crew blamed repeated failed prophecies on various external factors.   By June 1997, other worldly and interstellar dark forces were said to have conspired with 'planetary elites' and held up the intentions of the Galactic Federation which had underestimated the situation, but could not be deterred.  At the same time, messages began to deny the relevance of any specific arrival date and talked about "the right divine time".<ref>Helland, Christopher (2000) pp141-142</ref>

The second a half of 1997 heralded an important shift in focus as the messages began to require humans to assist the transformation of the planet in an interim period before any galactic intervention took place.  Salvation became a two-way street.  The channelling stated that the 'right divine time' may now be determined by the attitudes of humans.<ref name=Helland2000p142/><ref>Palmer, Susan (2003) pp338, 341-2</ref>  It was also claimed that the potential for disaster had been altered by the 'turning to the light' of the human population.  A more spiritual content, referring to such beings as the Ashtar Sheran, Aaron Alaje, Megha Alcorn, Merku Alcorn, Great White Brotherhood, Ascended Masters, and archangels also appeared.<ref name=Helland2000p142/><ref>Palmer, Susan (2003) p341</ref><ref name=Gruenschloss2003p23/>
