Invitation from the Planet Venus
From
a pamphlet published by DeVorss & Co., in the early 1950's
approximately. There is no date shown. It was dictated thru Adelaide J.
Brown of Los Angeles, CA as one in a series of six, of which we have
several in our possession.
This is the
third in the series of booklets concerning the planets in this solar
system. This one is coming to you from Venus and is dictated by the
Ruler of Venus, who also is named Venus, the Goddess of Love. I have
always been the ruler of this planet and always shall be, for such is
the law. One ruler who is satisfactory to the people, and who lives
forever.
Many of you may not believe this, for on the planet
Earth every human body dies, though the spirit in that body lives
forever in a higher plane of consciousness. The human body becomes old
and worn out, or becomes sick and destroyed by disease. This does not
take place on Venus. The planet Venus is our home now and shall be
forever. We are happy in our lives, living in love and perfect
unselfishness. Everything on our planet might be called perfect. At the
present time this cannot be said of the planet Earth. It is a common
saying, "nothing is perfect." Some earnest ones are called
perfectionists, for they always aim at perfection, and sometimes do
attain it. There are inventions which are acting perfectly, but most of
them could be improved.
One of these inventions is your airplane.
It is wonderful that man, after the struggle of centuries, has produced
a ship of the air that flies easily and very rapidly the greatest
distances on the planet. The fuel gasoline is used and it is used in
your automobiles also. A machine using this fuel moves as rapidly and as
far in distance as anyone could desire, but there is one flaw which is
very serious. Very noxious fumes pour from the vehicles. These fumes are
injurious to the health of the inhabitants of the Earth, human animal
and vegetable. There is a way to prevent these fumes, and that is, do
not use gasoline. This has been suggested in the first booklet of this
series, but I am mentioning it again for the benefit of those who have
not read the first booklet.
We who live on other planets near the
planet Earth get our fuel from the atmosphere. Your scientists could
learn this from the other planets if you would become friends and accept
our offer. I briefly touch on this and we now return to the planet
Venus.
Those of you who have studied the mythology of Greece and
Rome know that the names of the planets were taken from the names of
Gods and Goddesses of the Greek and Roman religion. In your Earth
thinking and belief in this century, this religion is only myth or fairy
tale, and you may be shocked when I say that it is truth. I am the
Venus who was called the Goddess of love and beauty, but there is a
difference in the meaning of these terms "love and beauty." They, on the
Earth, have lost their true meaning of pure, spiritual Love and pure,
spiritual Beauty, and are used with the meaning of physical beauty and
sensuous love.
So one of the purposes of this series of booklets
is to explain to mankind the true meaning of the names of the planets. I
have now told you what my really means and the others will do likewise
when their turn to communicate comes. As I have already told you, the
people of Venus are very happy and contented. All put others before
themselves, give with joy and receive with gratitude. It is an ideal
life and there is no reason that it may not last forever.
Now it
is our greatest desire to help the inhabitants of the Earth to
understand and know the possibility of living such a life. With us it is
not a beautiful dream of the distant future. It is a present fact. This
can become a fact on the planet Earth, but education must come first.
Man must be taught, as children are taught in school. These little
booklets are for that purpose. They are truth expressed in simple words.
It is necessary to learn first what can be, by knowing what already is
on the neighboring planets.
It is not an impossibility for the
Earth people to live perfect lives of joy and perfection, but it will
require first of all a sincere desire to attain this perfection. Before
desire there must be belief that this can be, and that it already is in
other places. This we are trying to show you by giving ourselves as
examples. The base of our civilization rests on a strong love and
worship of the One Great Source of all life, the One God above all Gods,
the Creator and Sustainer of all life. God is Life, God is Love, God is
Light. God is everywhere, in everything, from the tiniest blade of
grass to the Universe of Universes.
Many of you Earth people know
this and rejoice in the knowledge, but there are more who do not know
it. They believe in a God outside of creation, in a heaven far away in
the sky, a severe God who punishes his children for their sins and
mistakes. A God such as this never existed. We of Venus have always
known the truth and loved with all our hearts the God of Love, in whom
is all life, love and power. Without Him nothing would be, for all is in
Him and He is in all. It is very difficult if not impossible to express
the truth, for God is not a being that can be called He, nor can this
being be called she. Recently the words Father-Mother have been used in
an effort to express the truth, but they fail to express it.
The
great Source of all life is formless. Being everywhere, how could it
have a form? It is in every living thing, in insects, birds, beasts,
human beings, plants and even stones; it is in the air, water, soil. It
is the consciousness everywhere and we live in that consciousness. We
are all formed in that consciousness, live and have our being in it. It
is All. There is nothing else anywhere, in anything. It is impossible to
express this, although It is expression, everywhere expressing
everything. It expresses in forms, your forms, our forms, all forms. The
cause of the forms is formless. No words can express the truth of life,
but the human heart can love and adore that which the human mind is
unable to express. The truth can be felt even though it cannot be
expressed. This is so everywhere, in all the planets, in all the
universes, in the great everywhere without beginning, without end, which
it is impossible for any mind to grasp.
But though our minds
cannot grasp this truth our hearts can and do love it. It is our great
desire that not only a few of Earth's people, as now, know this truth,
but that every individual on the planet Earth may know and rejoice in
it.
When this is so there will be peace instead of war, plenty
instead of poverty. There will be love instead of harsh criticism and
dislike. As the wise of the Earth have already told you, "peace must
begin with me" -- with each one. From there it will flow out to all
mankind. Not only to all mankind, but to animals also. No longer will
there be shooting of deer and birds for pleasure -- sport it is called.
The American Indians were above doing this, they killed by necessity,
for they had not learned to raise enough grain on which to sustain life.
It was necessary for them to eat meat, but they never killed for sport.
The
machine age has played a good part in freeing horses and oxen from the
drudgery of hard work under the whips of their owners. How we of Venus
rejoiced when we saw this take place.
I feel a thrill of surprise
in the one who is writing this, and from this judge that those who read
may also be startled to know that we can look at the planet Earth and
see quite clearly what is going on in the fields and on the streets.
We
also have instruments, and very good ones. You call your instruments
for long distance seeing, telescopes. We have a different name in our
language but it means the same. These instruments are very efficient and
we can look onto the planet Earth and see much of that which is going
on.
We do not intrude on your privacy by looking into your
houses, but that which is in the open we can see. We shall be willing
and pleased when you can see what we are doing in our fields and
streets. You will then no longer be afraid of us. You will see that we
are beings like yourselves. We have our shops, business offices and
places of entertainment. We love music and art of all kinds. We play
games of skill and dexterity but never games that become battles as some
of yours do.
We are your friends, as the inhabitants of all the
planets are, and our great desire is that you may visit us and see for
yourselves how we live and what kind of beings we are. Only close
contact can give you a true knowledge of our lives. This writing can
give you information. It can dispel wrong beliefs and replace them with
the truth, but only meeting us and knowing us can give you realization
of what we truly are.
To realize you must enter into our actual
everyday lives, meet our little children as well as our statesmen and
business men. You must see our beautiful flowers and trees, our lakes
and streams, our sunshine and showers.
We invite you to come and
experience all this with us. Some few of you have actually been taken
into a space ship and brought here, but most of these have not been in
the physical body. They have traveled in the etheric body, leaving the
physical on the Earth. This is good but not quite the same as coming in
your physical bodies, for we are in physical bodies, living and carrying
on all our affairs in physical bodies. So you can understand that in order to have a perfectly natural contact you should come to us in physical bodies.
You
can do that if you are willing to board one of our ships of the air,
and trust us to bring you to our planet. Then, after your visit, we
would return you to the Earth. This would be done with each planet. But,
as I explained before, if you learn to build your own space craft you
could travel from planet to planet in perfect freedom.
We shall
now continue on our imaginary visit to the planet Venus. Our lives are
not entirely different from yours. In fact, they are quite similar to
yours in many respects. The one great difference is that we live
entirely in love -- pure, divine love. There are no quarrels, no
destructive criticism, all is peace and true love. I was about to say
brotherly love, but on the Earth brothers, even though they may love
each other, often have relapses, when they quarrel and have very bitter,
unbrotherly feelings. On Venus this is never so. Even the tiny tots
never quarrel.
This is the great difference between our planets.
To the outer vision there is not so much difference in what you shall
see. We have cities, farms, mountains, plains, all quite similar to
yours at a casual glance, but on investigation a great difference is
found.
We have no slums, no poverty anywhere. Also there is no
extreme wealth. All the people are living in comfort and in pleasant
surroundings. The cities are not devoid of trees and flowers. Our large
cities are not crowded, but are spread over enough territory to
comfortably accommodate the population. There are many play grounds for
the children, so they do not have to play on the streets and sidewalks.
But
there is something that is better than these outer things, and that is a
serene inner joy that is felt by every living being. This peace and
love that is felt by every person goes forth into the atmosphere and is
felt by animals and birds. The peace of God which is in the center of
every living thing.
Spiritual ones on the earth feel it, not
always perhaps, but at times. It is a peace that prevails over all
emotions of worry, doubt or fear. It is serene and joyful. Divine love
for all creation beings the peace of God which is triumphant over all
emotions. When you enter our large cities this is felt as strong as in
the open country, or in the forests or mountains. This is not so on the
Earth. There men seek the great open spaces to find peace and rest.
Those ofyou who have gone into these quiet places on your planet will
know of what I am speaking. It will seem marvelous to you that this
could be found in a large city.
"Come unto me all ye who are
weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you
and learn of me, for my yoke is easy and my burden light." So said the
Master who came onto the Earth to show the Way. As he lived you should
live. If his teaching were lived, peace would reign on your planet
instead of war and turmoil.
"It is never too late to mend" is an
old saying, so we of the planet Venus pray that you will come to our
planet and see and feel for yourselves this of which I speak. You who
would visit us would then return to the planet Earth and spread the news
of your experience with us.
The time is rupe for this to be
done, for there is a good deal of excitement and interest on the Earth
because of reports in the newspapers concerning the discussions and
theories of scientists. Some very powerful instruments are now in use which have given more information than has ever been had before concerning the planet Mercury.
We
shall not discuss the theories and speculations of the scientists. Our
effort shall be devoted to persuading mankind to accept the friendship
of the inhabitants of the planets in the solar system in which the Earth
rotates. We know that we are living beings, just as you know that you
are living beings. There is no theory or speculation about it. It is the
truth. However, all this speculation and discussion among scientists,
which appears in your daily news, will make these little booklets of
interest to more individuals and groups than would have been the case
without this.
All the planets will send more space ships of
various kinds onto the Earth in order to attract the attention of more
and more people. We are very well informed concerning the geography of
the Earth and we know where the open spaces suitable for landing are
located.
The object of these little booklets is to reiterate
again and again that there is nothing to fear from any of the planets.
The planets are populated, and the population of every planet is
friendly. It is not the nature of these peoples to be unfriendly with
anyone.
There is little more to be said in this writing. One
thing more, we have not yet described our personal looks. What do we
look like? We have faces and bodies like yours but there are
differences, which I will mention. We are a very tall people and all of
us are golden blonds with blue eyes. We have not the variety that you
have of blond, brunette or red-head, nor are there great differences in
height as there is on Earth. No one is much under six feet and many are
well over that.
You may think that this would be monotonous but
we are used to it and do not notice any monotony, for each is an
individual mentally and spiritually, even though we have hair of the
same color. To us who live on Venus the inner expression of individuals
is very much more important than the outer form of body, face or hair.
I
Venus, speaking for the people of Venus, now say farewell to the Earth
and another will take my place. We send you our love and our blessings.
