СКАЧАТЬ breaking the secrecy of my presence and telling of our Brotherhood of Planets. I would be contacted later in my life with more of the details.

      I was chosen to be in this spotlight because the story of our people should not be given only through phenomena in the sky, or landing spaceships on the surface. These can be attacked, explained away to others, or covered up as they almost always have been in the past. Breaking the news should not be too shocking, such as an occupant stepping from a spacecraft in a public gathering. That denies too many the opportunity for free choice and may result in unacceptable cultural shock. Instead, the real story needs to be told by someone who wouldn’t seem like an alien suddenly arriving from space.

      I am not endangering any secret mission by admitting that I was born on Venus. I am not a scientist with any secret knowledge about convoys or magnetic power. Today my mission is to write this biography. It is just a sincere effort to share with you our way of life.

      Because I have spent so much time here, people will find it easier to accept and understand me as a real human being. I can identify very easily with the people of Earth, and they can identify more easily with me. Many of the pains and ordeals I have gone through are the same as those others have experienced in their own lives.

      When I first decided to leave Venus, I looked to my future more as an adventure than anything else. The spiritual Masters in Retz of course warned me not to expect an easy pleasant existence, but the excitement of going to another planet filled my mind. The suffering I had heard about didn’t seem very real to me. We are aware of the pain, the poverty, and the wars on Earth, but these had not been my personal experiences in life. It was much like being an affluent westerner who is little affected by the starvation in Asia because it isn’t his personal experience.

When I stepped down from our ship that night in Nevada I was unsure about myself, uncertain and uneasy about all the things that were to happen. I was fortunate not to have known then how bad Karma can be, or I may have turned around right there and gone back home. “Angels Don’t Cry”5 was one of the earlier titles I had in mind for this book, because there is so much joy in our lives that we rarely cry, except of course when we think of Earth or our past lives there. Since being here I have cried and cried, so much that it could well be the story of my life on Earth.

      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 СКАЧАТЬ
