The Venusian Trilogy / From Venus I Came
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.
As individuals, the Venusians are well aware of the real powers of the mind and consciousness. What you call psychic powers are child’s play to us. Mental telepathy is the usual way in which we communicate, and we are also able to look into the future, remember past lives, or move objects by thought. Many of us have learned to move backward or forward in time. Any person trying to use such powers must have the spiritual maturity to be responsible with power. In living on a negative planet it is all too easy to misuse power, and people all over Earth who are unknowingly and unwisely dabbling with such powers will pay for their mistakes for many lifetimes to come. I never use such power except in dire emergency, and then I must be very careful.
We have discovered the existence of other universes beyond the physical, and we have learned to visit these worlds at will. On Venus this has become a science in and of itself.
Some of your writers on Earth have called them parallel universes. Such worlds of being actually do exist, at different coordinates of time, space, matter and even energy. There are also worlds beyond time, space, matter and energy. In discovering and exploring them we have solved the mystery called death, which happens to be nothing more than a transformation to one of these other worlds and a very natural part of an individual’s life.
Death remains a mystery here on Earth simply because so few here have discovered and explored these levels of reality and being and returned to tell about them.
So the great challenge for man on Earth lies in unraveling the mysteries of life. I hope this book will unveil for you a greater conception of the world you live in, and a greater conception of yourself, the individual.
I am not disturbed if you choose to call my life on Venus imagination. Every creation of man, everything manmade that you see around you, was born in the imagination. Imagination is the most powerful faculty in man and the key to the creation of reality. With his imagination, man is as much a creator as is God Itself.
3 According to Omnec Onec our solar system consists of twelve planets.
4 Omnec says that she does not like the word “race”, but that she has to use an Earth language to express herself. She and her people look at all human beings as Soul and do not feel any judgement in terms of different origins or skin colors. (Publisher’s comment).
5 “Angels Don’t Cry” is the title of the second part of Omnec Onec’s autobiography. (Publisher’s comment)
Chapter Two
Laws of The Supreme Deity
Venus is one of the older, more advanced planets in our solar system. So ancient are our people, that my ancestors were able to watch Earth in its development and to explore the green planet when it first became livable. Since then, we have grown spiritually, culturally and technically as a civilization, and as individuals, to a point inconceivable to the people of Earth. So radically different is life on Venus that it would be useless for me to jump right into the story of my life there or mention such simple things as my birth or my home, without these chapters about our culture and history.
When we say that the basic difference between Tythanians and the people of Earth lies in each individual’s self-awareness, that is still a world of difference. The growth of a planet over millions of years depends on how spiritually awake and aware the people become.
Whenever the people of Venus speak of their culture, their technology, or any facet of their lives, credit always goes to our planetary science or teaching called the Laws of the Supreme Deity. Only through this advanced form of science, where spirituality and science are two faces of the same thing, have we grown in so many ways.
Only through an awareness of this science can people on Earth begin to understand the Venusian life, and my own life. Without the Laws of the Supreme Deity, Venus would be as Earth is today.
As a child I was well grounded in the fundamentals of the Laws, as is every child and every adult on Venus, because the teaching had long ago been discovered to be the true way, the true understanding for the entire planet. Only later in life, on Earth, would I realize how very precious the Laws of the Supreme Deity had been, and how fortunate I was to have received a thorough grounding in this teaching.
Knowing of Karma and the purpose of life in the physical world, and being aware of worlds beyond the physical universe, I found it much easier to survive the nightmares of my life on Earth. During my life on Venus I had gained the emotional strength necessary for me to cope with the hardships ahead. I was able to understand and accept life and my own difficulties more maturely.
Yet anyone on Earth who is open to this teaching can rise above the problems of the physical world. I was told about the future of this teaching shortly before I left Venus. One day, the Laws of the Supreme Deity will be recognized on Earth for what they really are. The seeds have already been planted. Our people plan to become more and more involved in making this a reality.
An understanding that becomes a living experience for the individual studying the Laws of the Supreme Deity, is exactly what it means by I. Many different ideas can fill your mind when you ask yourself, “Who am I?” On Earth, there will be as many different conceptions as there are people. It is this self-conception that makes such a world of difference in anyone’s life, whether he lives on Venus or Earth, or on any other planet in any galaxy. To grow into the full realization as to what and who you really are, turns out to be the purpose of life in this physical universe and several other universes. All the experience that an individual can have through countless lifetimes culminates in a full awakening and a total awareness as to who you really are. The Laws of the Supreme Deity is a spiritual teaching, though under many different names, that has always existed, whether secretly or openly, on every planet, for those who are ready to achieve the goal of their many lifetimes of trial and experience.
Every individual on every planet is Soul – nothing more and nothing less. I use this word Soul because the Venusian word for it would be just a word to you. Whereas on Earth, Soul has been used for a long time by religions and spiritual philosophies, and comes close to what we mean6. However, through the Laws of the Supreme Deity we do not stop at saying “I am Soul”, or merely believing it. We know it through conscious experience in the Soul body, using our most powerful senses and faculties which reside there.
Soul is so real that no one should have to wait until death to learn about its reality. It can be experienced now. In the physical world, Soul is usually considered to be located at a point just between and behind the eyes of the physical body. However, you as Soul can also learn to detach yourself from the physical body while it is still alive, so that you may be several feet from the body, miles away, or in one of the worlds which the religions call Heaven.
Soul is a unit of awareness. It can know, be and see. Much more cannot be said about its basic nature, except that in quality, Soul is a duplicate of the Being called God. If you were to close your eyes and sit very still, away from noises and distractions, you will find one point in the body where you are most awake. Usually it’s a spot in the center of the head behind and between the eyes which can be separate from and aware of physical sensations, sounds, sights, thoughts, and feelings. We have an indescribable something which can observe all the things a person may falsely believe he is. This detached observer is Soul, the real You.
If you close your eyes and create the face of a friend on the screen of your mind, it would be Soul that is looking at the picture. The mind is not looking, because it is only the tool used to form and hold the image.
Another way to experience the reality of Soul goes like this. As I speak to a friend, are the words coming from my mouth myself? Of course not! But if I were to watch carefully as I speak, being fully aware of each word as it comes out, I will begin to notice that something is listening to those words.
It is not a thought but a unit of awareness. Why is it not a thought, or the mind? Because I can think a certain clear thought as “I wonder if there is a difference between the mind and Soul”, and be aware of it as the thought passes through my mind. The still, silent something which watches thoughts being produced by the mind, and knows they are thoughts, is the unit of awareness we call Soul. Very often we confuse thoughts with the unit of awareness that can watch them. We can have a thought such as, “I am fully aware of my thoughts”, accept it as true, and forget that it too is only a thought. It too can be consciously watched as Soul. The awareness and the mental world of man are two different things.
By far the best way of finding out that you are Soul is to leave the body in Soul form while you are still living. This is called an out-of-body experience and it proves that you are something beyond the physical body.
It is useless to become involved in how old you are as Soul, because Soul Itself exists beyond time and space. Counting the many lifetimes before this one, you are easily many millions of years old. Through all those lifetimes you have remained the individual, and you will continue to be an individual after the last physical incarnation. The physical bodies, personalities, surroundings, and experiences may have changed, but always there was the real awareness, the real you, learning lessons and unfolding spiritually. To learn, grow, and awaken was the reason that Soul came into the physical world in the first place, eons ago.
Soul’s journey to the physical world involved many other worlds beyond ours. These are the so-called parallel universes I spoke of, which the Venusians and many other peoples discovered and explored. To the people of Venus, these planes of existence are the ultimate frontier, containing within them the answers to all of the mysteries of life.
On Earth books have been written about other worlds, and people have wondered about them ever since they were able to wonder, but few have discovered the secrets of consciously visiting these worlds during their physical lifetimes. Even this will change in the near future. To consciously experience them once could prove their reality, but to never experience them at all leaves them vague and unreal to that one.
Each of these worlds or planes of existence has a different rate of vibration or frequency. The matter in the world just beyond the physical is at so high a frequency that a person living there could easily pass through walls, mountains, and even people here. The highest sounds here, beyond detection by Earth scientists, are the lowest sounds in the plane beyond the physical universe. This explains why the existence of these worlds is a religious matter on Earth, rather than a scientific matter of personal experience.
The worlds beyond have very much in common with the physical world, but they are all much more beautiful and heavenly. They too have all kinds of people, cities and villages, animals, plants, mountains, oceans, deserts, and sunsets; but in every imaginable way, these worlds are vastly more beautiful than the most advanced planets here. The colors are out of this world, so radiant and breathtaking that words cannot do justice to them. The universe just one step beyond ours is so beautiful that many people who live there after “death” mistakenly believe it is the ultimate Heaven.
I use a familiar analogy to help explain how these worlds are designed. First let us take a centrifuge, which is a scientific instrument that spins liquids at high speeds. If we take a mixture of water, mud, sand, and stones and spin it at high speed in the centrifuge, the heavier materials will collect at the outer edge in the order of their heaviness. As we look toward the center, we will see less and less gross materials, until in the innermost area we find only air.
The outermost layer can be thought of as the physical universe, the densest and most material of all the universes. As we look toward the center, we will find the layers having finer and finer materials. These are like the worlds of time and space, where everything is at the higher frequencies. To a person living there, things are as real and solid as to us in the physical world. This is because the senses used there are at the same higher frequencies. Likewise, our physical senses cannot record objects and people there because physical senses were designed for use in the physical universe only.
The very center of the spinning liquid, where there is only air, can be compared to the pure spiritual worlds beyond time and space. These worlds are the home of Soul and what religions call God, the Ultimate Reality. Soul originates in the pure, positive spiritual worlds beyond time and space, but It was born as an unconscious atom in this cosmic sea.
The Supreme Deity Itself is actually a void. It has no relationship to anything outside of It. This is why nothing can be said about It. But It can be experienced. The best thing to say is, “It just is!”
Issuing forth from the Supreme Deity, sustaining and giving life to all worlds including the physical is the audible life stream of Spirit. Matter and energy in our physical world are nothing more than this universal energy whose vibrations have been stepped down. It is within this sea of Spirit that Soul exists. It is a part of Spirit. As an unconscious atom when it was first created Soul did not know who It was, what the Supreme Deity was, why It existed, and what the power is that It can control. It was asleep in this ocean of Spirit and somehow needed to be awakened to the fact that It even existed.
In order to provide Soul an opportunity to wake up, the Supreme Deity created the worlds of form where the opposite of Spirit exists, which we call the Kal or negative power. There Soul could be tested and purified in polarity until it became aware. There it could acquire the experience necessary to awaken and then be a conscious atom separate from the body of God, and yet a part of it. It will then remain an individual being for all eternity.
Soul exists naturally in the pure, positive spiritual worlds, where there is no matter, energy, space, or time. Not a trace of the negative power exists here. These worlds are very real, but it is almost impossible to describe them with words, because they are beyond the realm of the mind and its workings. To know them a person must experience them for himself.
The denser worlds are constructed as a school for Soul through the creation of polarity between the positive and the negative forces. Soul remains in these worlds of polarity, positive and negative, only temporarily, until the schooling is accomplished and the Soul graduates. The lower world with the most Spirit is that level Soul first entered on its way down into the Physical Plane eons ago. This most heavenly plane of the lower worlds is called the Etheric Plane. In spiritual terminology it is the crossing over line, between the denser planes and the higher Spirit levels.
As Soul came in touch with these denser worlds, It needed to protect Itself with sheaths or bodies. The best protection for Soul in a lower plane happens to be a body made of the same materials as are found naturally on that plane.
The first body you took is more or less a clear sheath or light that surrounds the Soul. On Earth it is known as the subconscious mind, one of Soul’s most powerful instruments in the denser worlds. The limitless resources of man’s subconscious mind exist on the Etheric Plane, where many saints and mystics received the cosmic consciousness. As a world of being, it is as real as the Physical Plane; in many ways more real. The Etheric Plane has people, cities, beautiful landscapes and sights that can be seen and remembered by those of us on physical planets who have trained ourselves in the art of leaving the body.
The next lower plane that Soul entered on its way into the physical universe is called the Mental Plane. It also is a world of glorious sights and sounds, some of which are recorded in the religious literature of Earth. Your St. John is one individual who visited the Mental Plane during an out-of-body experience and described what he saw there, which included the capital city that was called Kailash. On this plane are the heavens of many of the world religions.
To exist in this rarified density, Soul must protect Itself with a coarser body, called the mental body or mind. Our mind is actually this body, and its energy appears as thought. Each of us has that body, for it is a tool that Soul uses to operate in the lower worlds. It has no life of its own, but depends on the energy Soul allows it to have.
