My life here has been full of adventure and intrigue. But on the other hand it was a rare thing for me to be among people who really cared for or loved me. Coming here meant leaving all that I knew and loved, a life of creativity and peace. After my uncle left me behind in Arkansas and returned to go back home, I was alone, “a stranger in a strange land.”
I have learned from experience how very real Karma is. My life here has been a giant heap of Karma compressed into this one lifetime so that I shall be done with it forever. If only people knew how surely all their misdeeds will one day meet them face to face, then who in his right mind could knowingly hurt another person? Do unto others only what you would have them do unto you, because everything you do unto others will be done unto you eventually. That is one big lesson I share with you.
I am not embittered today. The past is behind me and I try to enjoy the happiness of the present moment. The world has treated me just as I once treated it, and everyone grows from his experiences, good or bad. I for one learned the simple lesson of compassion, just as every other individual on any planet learns his lessons. My life on Earth proves that just because I happened to be born on a more advanced planet, does not mean that I escape the lessons of my past.
Less than a few decades ago, people would not have been ready to accept the idea of this autobiography. It would have been useless for any of us to do much talking, and those who did soon regretted it. It is the new level of consciousness, or level of awareness that has made this book possible now. And depending on the public’s reaction to me, there may be more of us making ourselves known.
Above and beyond our individual reasons for being here we are very much concerned with the consciousness of men of Earth. This has to do with his basic understanding of life and the universe, and his awareness of his own self in it all.
Natural powers such as mental telepathy and precognition, all of which we are adept at, weren’t too well accepted not too many years ago. Esoteric subject were mostly studied in small, private groups. Books on the occult subjects were given little attention and often ridiculed by the less informed, and the media were reluctant to treat psychic subjects seriously. The natural powers of man were looked upon as either satanic or nonexistent, really a sad state of affairs indeed.
Our overall concern in this age is to play some part in the spiritual awakening of Earth. Political and social reform is not directly our goal. As the people of Venus understand it, the way of life on Earth is only a reflection of the spiritual unfoldment or consciousness of its people as individuals. The reason for life in the physical universe is nothing more than spiritual awakening, and no part of life is ever separate from this main overall scheme.
Our understanding of spirituality is probably not what you would expect. It does not necessarily mean being a religious devotee or trying to live an apparently saintly life. Our spiritual teaching is a planetary teaching which is really an advanced form of science. At one end of the spectrum it offers a complete understanding of life, death, God, and the hereafter, and all the various subjects which religious and spiritual paths on Earth delve into. We allow each individual to prove to himself via actual experience what life after death is really like, and what that Being you call God really is. At the other end of the spectrum, our teaching includes a thorough understanding of the physical universe and its laws, which reflects in the wonders of our marvelous technology.
We have always been interested in the spiritual paths, religions, the occult schools that have sprung up on Earth. In past ages we were involved in sending spiritual leaders here, around some of whom religions later developed. Most of the paths are limited today in the freedom, wisdom and love they offer their followers, but we cannot criticize any of them because each attracts followers at a certain level of consciousness, and those levels are not all the same. If a path offers what the individual needs, and satisfies him, then for that one it is a good path.
As a person matures spiritually, he learns that the conventional religions and paths no longer satisfy him, because something vital is missing. I had this same problem when I came to Earth. I was frustrated being in such a young body but having a head full of knowledge beyond many people’s understanding. I found it difficult suppressing things very natural for me, such as picking up other people’s thoughts. There were times when I had to hold myself back from telling all my friends and even people on the streets that they were walking around in sleep.
Because my spiritual upbringing was so very different from the teachings offered me on Earth, I didn’t accept any while I was here. As a child in Tennessee I was raised in a protestant church, which seemed very primitive to me. I became disillusioned and hurt by the limits of the spiritual teachings in religions that I came across in this country.
The Venusians live according to spiritual and natural law, rather than manmade laws, in every area of life. This is a very basic difference between the other planets and Earth. Personal experience is the “vital something” which is missing in conventional Earth religions and paths.
Before leaving Venus I was told of limitations in Earth’s spiritual teachings, and that I would not find satisfaction, but I was promised that some day in my life on Earth I would find the universal teachings, which on Venus are called Om-Notia Zedia, The Laws of the Supreme Deity. The name would be different but the teaching is the same, and it would be brought forward when the time was right and the people were ready. It has existed on Earth since the planet was colonized, and has been taught under many different names, at times openly, and at times secretly from person to person. During the time of Lemuria, and of Atlantis too, it was brought into the open, but most of the time camouflage was necessary because of the freedom and awareness this teaching offers. Organized religions and rulers consider it dangerous to their well-being and self-preservation. For this reason you usually find it suppressed in some way by those authorities.
Pythagoras was one master of that teaching who taught it secretly under the guise of philosophy. Jesus taught it as the wisdom of love. This most ancient of teachings has been known in Tibet for thousands of years. It has been known here since the first colonization. Then, a time came when it was successfully suppressed by powerful religions and had to be brought to Earth once more. Remote places in the Himalayas were chosen to guard the basic works where they still are today. If there is any one factor more responsible for the progress of the people of Tythania, it would have to be this science which we may call Laws of the Supreme Deity. It has allowed us to discover the deepest secrets of the universe, of time and space, matter and energy. We have discovered some of the deepest and most profound secrets of man himself, of the mind, and the consciousness. All this is reflected in the wonders of life on Venus, wonders rivaling science fiction, and utopia on Earth.
We have no wars or poverty, and our people do not know disease. Lifetimes span into hundreds of years. Physical aging ceases at between 20 and 30 years. Our cities are small, simply designed, and free of crime. Long ago, the magnetic and solar power developments revolutionized our lives.
Space holds some of our greatest challenges. We are a people hungry for knowledge. The universe has been so designed that there is always more to learn. Our ships are not limited by gravity, friction, or the so-called speed of light, and some of them are miles long. Other planets in this solar system are only a few days away. A trip between solar systems is even faster.
