[[Image:SSSC.jpg|thumb|left]][[Image:SSSC shield.jpg|thumb|right]]The Semjase Silver Star Centre in Switzerland is the global headquarters of FIGU, the Free Interest Group for Frontier and Spiritual Science and Ufology Studies.
<small><sup>'''INTRODUCTION'''</sup></small><br>
The '''Semjase Silver Star Centre''' in Switzerland is the world headquarters of the [[FIGU]], and is by its members and volunteers constantly maintained and updated. In the early years (see [[Photo Gallery]]) there was the construction work on the various buildings of importance. Today (2018) it is a lush and pleasant place to be.<br>
<br>
<small><sup>'''FACILITIES AND FUNCTION'''</sup></small><br>
The centre, with all its facilities and amenities, facilitates the learning and teaching of [[Spiritual Development|creational laws]]<ref>[[Contact Report 010]] lines 40</ref> and [[The_Twelve_Recommendations|commandments]] as well as the [[Spirit Teaching|spiritual teachings]]. Folks from all over the world visit the centre and have for decades, to work, to learn, to communicate with like minded peers and to find rest, tranquillity and relaxation in the surrounding nature.<br>
<br>
<small><sup>'''PUBLICATIONS AND IMAGES'''</sup></small><br>
The centre publishes its publication(s)<ref>[[FIGU Bulletins]], [[FIGU Special Bulletins]] and [[FIGU Open Letters]] are examples of FIGU publications</ref> at irregular, sporadic intervals throughout the month and year. However a date very close to the beginning of every month is a reasonably consistent constant to look for. There are plenty of photos of centre related activities in their [http://www.figu.org/ch/verein/das-figu-center/impressionen FIGU photo gallery (external)] and others available on [[External_Links|associated websites]], photo websites such as flickr and other photo sharing social media platforms (private photo collections) and within community groups such as on facebook. There are also videos available on the [http://www.youtube.com/user/FIGUVIDEO FIGU youtube channel] of centre related activities, which is updated occassionally, e.g [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dLlEPs9Au4 2017 Forest felling and thinning work at SSSC with help from volunteers].<br>
<br>
<small><sup>'''ENVIRONMENT'''</sup></small><br>
Over time, the environment of the centre has been transformed into a small paradise of tranquillity, peace, contemplation and beauty. Due to this long term careful management of the environment compared to the surrounding farmlands and towns, where restraint has been exercised from using petrol machinery and chemicals where possible and tending the gardens by hand; a variety of particularly rare species of animal, insect and plant have made the grounds their home. Forget Ufology for a moment and for naturalists, botanists, bird watchers, biologists, and anyone who appreciates wildlife and nature it may even be shocking to some visitors to see such rare varieties and in such health perhaps never seen before because such good care is taken of the life on the grounds where there is a culture of matured wisdom about ecological systems and natural cycles and natural rhythms and the humans impact on life and of a deep appreciation of life, preserving life, cherishing it and allowing it to flourish - mostly lead and influenced by [[Billy]] and his attitudes.<br>
<br>
<small><sup>'''VISITING AND VOLUNTEERING'''</sup></small><br>
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. 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 their own schedules. There is an 'English language FIGU Forum' section dedicated to [http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/863/28.html?1513548243 Visiting the Semjase Silver Star Centre] which is archived back to [http://forum.figu.org/us/messages/863/5532.html?1127391063 late 1999] if you wanted more information or have questions, they've all probably been answered already.<br>
<br>
<small><sup>'''GETTING THERE AND WHEN'''</sup></small><br>
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 in May, June, July, August but pack a light weight rain jacket for the occasional shower and for sun rise/early morning. Weather, temperature and climate in this area of Switzerland is similar to parts of England, parts of Washington State, middle New Zealand and parts of Japan's climate, its temperate, moderate with no excessive heat and moderated by the nearby mountain range. Switzerland's fauna and flora is similar to 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, 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.
There are roads, buses, trams, trains, aircraft, ferries, all over Europe.
In the Semjase Silver Star Centre with all its facilities, creational laws and recommendations as well as the Teaching of the Creation Energy are learned and taught. As a result, people from all over the world flock to the centre to work, learn, communicate with like-minded people and find peace and relaxation in nature.
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.
For more information see https://www.figu.org/ch/verein/das-figu-center
Sign up for the European Health Insurance Card before moving around any of Europe if from Europe, and if your arriving from outside Europe you'll need to buy health insurance 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.<br>

<small><sup>'''TRIVIA'''</sup></small><br>
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]].<sup>[citations needed]</sup>
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.
