Greetings, dear ones, and may I say first that something like congratulations are in order, as I can see that you are now viewing us in our proper relationship, and as a consequence you will be taken to the altar room where you will witness the emergence, or as you call it, birth of a person into our higher order. She is a woman whom we shall, for convenience sake, call Orda. She comes from one of the lower orders here on Venus and she has been here and studied while in a clairvoyant state; yet today she will actually be given a body such as ours so that she may resume her life here among us.
Now let us cross over through the central pavilion of the Temple and further down the hall we shall enter the altar room. As you can see, it is not a very large room, but it has some differences which are worth mentioning. At the far end there is a raised platform which seems to be surrounded in a semi-circle by a series of crystal-like mirrors. These are about seven (7) feet high, in your earth measurement, and resemble something like a multi-section screen such as may be found in an earth home. Their function is to help concentrate the mind energies which will be projected by those who actively participate.
Overhead in the ceiling you will notice that there are three large discs of crystal which are shaped somewhat like curved lenses. One is a deep blue, another is red like a ruby, and the third is a golden yellow. They are so focused that they will project a multi-colored beam or matrix of energy into the area just in front of the reflecting crystal mirrors. There are also, out in front about twenty (20) feet away, a semi-circle of seven (7) low raised footstools which are used to kneel on. Throughout the room there is a beautiful intense radiation. The floor is also covered with something which could be called a carpet, but is actually a soft thick sheet of radiant energy, something like the more familiar ectoplasm, except that it, too, is a bright golden color. In the rear of this room are a number of benches which are sometimes partially filled by those who are closely associated with those who participate in this emergence.
As there is some time yet before the ceremony takes place, let us sit quietly on one of these benches while I explain to you something more of the principles of concept and why it is possible that you are now seeing us for the first time in a true relationship.
The words concept and perception, in general, may mean somewhat the same; concept is associated in an overall sense with the eye and mind; whereas perception is usually associated with the more physical relationships. In some of our previous transmissions there were several statements which I made which are apt to be a bit confusing. I stated that as you first saw us here we would appear somewhat as you yourself appeared to others in your physical world. Later on you again saw us where we appeared to be like large glowing masses of light. If a group of people saw a thief fleeing down the street, they would later on all give a somewhat different description of the fleeing man. The principal reason for this should be more fully understood, as in understanding this principle, you will understand why the earth-plane people are constantly deluding themselves.
The mechanics of seeing on your physical plane are something like this: Your eye focuses through the lens the various light frequencies which are reflected by tiny light-sensitive cells mounted on the apexes of tiny rods and cones which cover the screen or retina at the rear of the eyeball. The light-frequency impulses are received into the brain at the rate of about 20 per second. Your brain must then sort them in proper order with other memory impressions so that they are properly placed or conceived and related to all of your past experiences of reception.
In most people the amount of synchronization varies considerably. In other words, if the eye sends faster than the brain can receive and classify, an incomplete picture is formed. Later on the mind will attempt to fill in such missing portions of the picture. This it does by taking some portions of other pictures which were received at a different time, thus the person will vary in his description of a scene or episode from the description of the man standing next to him.
Here on Venus our perception and conception is exactly reversed, in a general sense from that of your earth people. There, as you cannot see Spirit, the physical world is the most predominant, so that you view all things physically. Here we view things exactly opposite. We see all things in a spiritual world and in a spiritual way. We can, of course, just as you do, but in a advanced way, see into your physical world. You can clairvoyantly see into our spiritual world. That is why when you first saw us here you would have of course, quite likely been able to see us partially in our, shall I say, physical bodies, and your mind would automatically fill in that which you could not see. Such a view process would happen in a similar way to any other form of man who did not have our physical appearance. Therefore he would see us physically as related to himself. You must bear in mind that what you call our physical form is an advanced spiritual form, while it does assume a shape and form which, as you now see, is quite like your own. If you remember when you first saw Ut, that he appeared as a Golden Man. As you see us now, we are somewhat like that except that we are very radiant. We seem to be projecting from within many radiant shafts of light of brilliant intensity and many colors.
Completely around us is a broad frequency band of many colors. This is the Aura and is much more intense and radiant than your own. In a general, physical way we are about six or seven feet tall. We do not weigh because we are not affected by the gravitational field. Looking at my face closely, you see I have a high forehead and my hair comes to my shoulders. I have two well shaped ears, my nose is straight. I have a well formed chin and my eyes are very large and seem to shine or glow. Over my body I seem to be wearing, as near as you can tell, a shimmering translucent tunic. In fact my face, as I do not have a beard, seems to look like several of the earth pictures which have been drawn to resemble Masters.
These descriptions as I have given them to you, and as you see them, are as near as they can be put into earth language. However, remember when you come over here, in some future spiritual evolution, we may, at that time, appear somewhat different. I might mention that several earth-plane people, such as I have described previously, saw us and the higher Masters as intense white masses of fire. So, as I said before, concept is a matter of relativity in the position you occupy in your evolution. But now it is time for the ceremony.
The benches around us have been filled as we talked, with my fellow Venusians. I will not attempt to call them to you by name, as we actually have no name here. Names are something which help to classify personality traits. Now there are seven people coming into the room in single file, being led by one of our very advanced Venusians (Sha-Tok). Now they are taking their positions and kneeling on the small stools on the floor. There are three of the feminine gender on the left side and three masculine on the right, with the leader in the center. Now you will hear some kind of a strange music which seems to come from nowhere. The people in the semicircle have their gazes intently focused on the area just in front of the mirrors. The music now seems to be growing more intense. It would be difficult to describe these sounds, as they are actually made by energy which is being concentrated into intense beams by the minds of these seven persons. It is something like a peculiar whistling, singing or rustling.
Now you seem to see a shaft of radiant light building up in front of the mirrors. This light seems to be filled with tiny brilliant stars which are moving about and blinking in a very rapid fashion. Now gradually this radiant shaft begins to expand and grow larger. There is also an appearance of solidity which is becoming increasingly more dense. Now you are seeing a vague outline of a human form, slowly forming just as an artist might be sketching it on paper. The features of the face begin to form in their proper places. The arms and hands and fingers are also appearing. Now she is almost here.
As you see she is a very beautiful woman, and when I say beautiful, it is a spiritual beauty which surpasses any physical beauty which you may have seen. Her features are fine and well formed. Her eyes are very large lustrous glowing pools of light. Her hair is a tumbled mass of waves cascading over her shoulders. Her arms are slender, her fingers long and tapering. Just as we, she is clothed in a shimmering veil of light.
But now the process of emergence is complete. The kneeling people stand up. The music has ceased. Orda steps down and is welcomed with loving embraces into the arms of her new parents, and her brothers and sisters. I, too, am overcome with emotion.
So for now, in the excitement of welcoming our new sister, may I say, until some future time, rest in Peace.
