We welcome you back to Azure, brother, and I am very pleased with a number of things. Your continued and lengthy concentration has helped much in the continuation of our project. I see now that you are able to make contact and arrive here almost unassisted. I see also that you are beginning to expand your consciousness in your own inner eye to a point where I believe shortly you will be able to see everything about you here as it really is. I had thought at first that it might be necessary to keep part of this hidden as well as to conceal from you, as the strangeness and strength of this world might upset you. However, I am grateful for your many years of psychic work which will now enable us to progress more normally. I thought also that you might take a slight affront at being left on the doorstep, as it were, while we were just on the verge of entering in and seeing what these dwellings are like.

But before we do this, let us ascend to the high balcony which you see on the spire above you-but we shall not climb. Instead, we shall use the powers of levitation. I will take your hand. See there, now it is done and here we are! Let us sit here quietly on this bench while you take in the panorama which is before you. As you can see, far out and below where we sit spreads one of the great valleys in which some of the cities of the lower orders are situated. In your earth cities the social structures are such that a man’s place of dwelling is most often determined by your commercial system of finance or how much he has in a bank. That is why on other planets similar to earth we see such vivid contrasts-poverty and slums where human wrecks live out their lives in misery and want while their ragged children play in the street which separates them from their affluent and wealthy neighbors who live in great mansions and have far more than they know what to do with.

Such wretched contrasts do not exist in our cities on Venus. Even the poorest family or individual, living in the smallest dwelling, is far richer than your wealthiest baron. But he counts, instead, the richness of his many blessings, his closeness to the Fountainhead and his knowledge and ability to actively participate in the integrated functions of one of the great Spiritual Brotherhoods. Around you and below you, you are seeing a veritable kaleidoscope and even with your still somewhat limited concept, this riot of color is almost unbearable. You are having a sensation which is somewhat like coming out of a darkened room into the bright sunlight. I will attempt to describe for your fellow earth man something of what you are witnessing. As you see from our vantage point, the city has only two main thoroughfares which cross each other at right angles. This is done to properly intersect the parallax of the magnetic lines of force. At their point of conjunction the huge dome-like structure of crystal which seems to be glowing in all colors of the rainbow is the central temple which we may enter later on. I might say first that the cause, partially at least, of the reflection and refraction which seems to come from everywhere is actually a part of the function of the crystal-like substances of which all the vast numbers of buildings that you see before you are made.

From up here they present an amazing and intricate array of domes, minarets and spires; balconies and galleries sweep around the sides in many places like the one we are sitting in, festooned with an infinite number and variety of plants and blossoms. A little later you will see that in the various rooms and halls of these dwellings are also displays of flowers which could be an earth horticulturist’s paradise. You will notice also that there are no windows in any of these dwellings. Ventilation is, of course, for other purposes than for ourselves, as we do not breathe in the manner to which you are accustomed. Your bodies need oxygen as a means of combustion. You might say your bodies are actually internal combustion engines and, in a sense, function much the same as your automobile. Here, however, our body needs are not supplied from external sources of food and oxygen, but come from radiant energy from the inner consciousness. You will see also as we progress through one of these homes that the crystal walls and ceilings seem to diffuse a different intensity and quality of light. There is a reason for this. If you remember a number of earth-years back at the beginning of the radio age, almost everyone who first obtained a radio had one which was called a crystal set. The music which came through the head-phones was made possible by the rectifying properties of a small bit of galena crystal.

Your scientist of today knows many more of the amazing properties of the crystal. Certain crystals enable him to send hundreds of messages over a single conductor simultaneously. Activated crystals also make possible a new vibrant energy therapy which uses high frequency energy pulsations as the energy source. We likewise here on Venus in constructing these crystal walls and roofs have endowed them with certain properties. If you think for a moment that, like on your earth where you may have many thousands of different radio and television programs which are pulsating through the air simultaneously, it is just the same here except that instead of radio and television stations we have countless thought-form wave trains which stem from individuals or collective masses, from not only the minds of the lower orders of human life which reside on their countless planets, but we have also the great Masters and Lords, as you call them, collectively and individually radiating from the higher planes above us. You can see therefore that in a telepathic process there would be a great deal of effort and confusion in trying to single out one or any particular group of thought projections.

We therefore use various rooms and halls as centers of meditation where we can receive a certain narrow or limited band of frequency or spectra which contains only one or a few thought train vibrations of the individual or group we wish to communicate with. This function of rectification and separation is performed by these crystal-like walls and roofs and sitting in different positions about a certain room we can, in our meditation, engage in mental communication with any or all individuals of the great Celestial Universe who are capable of thought transmission. As you will notice, even a single home or dwelling appears to be of vast and tremendous size. This is quite true. A single home may often contain as many as a thousand persons. While we speak of each other as a family, brother and sister, or father and mother, yet there are no actual blood ties as I have explained. Birth with us is materialization.

The question of family relation resolves into one of harmonic relationship. If I can again use a familiar reference, it is like a chord on a piano keyboard. Therefore, while there may be as many as a thousand dwelling in the multitude of rooms and halls which we call home, it is done with the utmost harmony and love.

Thousands of years ago when each of us first began to assume a small portion of self-mastery, we eliminated through our numerous reincarnations, one by one and step by step, all of the selfish, grasping attitudes which the average lower order of earth people seem to find necessary for their daily existence and, as these were eliminated, we replaced them with the pure spiritual attributes of spiritual understanding in all our relationships with the great brotherhood of man.

Now I can see this is a good place for us to return to our respective positions and rest awhile until we again resume where we are leaving off. May I say, keep us in your thoughts as much as possible. Remember that we here on Venus are constantly radiating our strongest thoughts to our beloved sister who is so patiently performing the task of writing this narration that she may not be troubled by discontinuance, for our brother is a missionary to the earth plane to help in opening the doorway which will admit mankind into the new era of spiritual prosperity; one which will encompass not only your earth plane but also countless planets throughout this great Celestial Universe.

And so to our brother and sister, may the richest of God’s blessings be with you.

Brother – Mal Var
