PREFACE
A few months ago the astronomical and astrophysical world was tremendously
excited by the approaching conjunction of the earth with the planet Mars.
(This article being written in May, 1955, refers to the conjunction of Mars
with the earth at the turn of the year 1954 to 1955). Many prominent
astronomical authorities hoped to settle once and for all time, the old
controversial issues about this
planet; i.e., were there canals or were there not canals on Mars and was
this planet inhabited by some form of man. So far as can be ascertained,
the results of these investigations, after thousands of photographs of the
planet and numerous controversies, was that some groups were even more
firmly entrenched in their original ideas, while others became more
confused than ever. In an over-all sense, it
can be said that they arrived at no definite conclusion whatever nor will
any new conclusions that may be arrived at, have, by the same token, any
more validity than the original concepts (see addenda).
Therefore any new attempt at visualizing life or the canals on Mars
resolves into the realm of clairvoyance and not by the making of bigger and
more powerful telescopes. The two hundred inch telescope at Pt. Palomar
has, in a sense, merely increased the size of the universe for man rather
than brought it closer
to him. Now, just in case the term clairvoyant should arouse any antagonism
or question in some persons, let us digress a moment to explain just what
is meant by the word clairvoyance.
Clairvoyance (or the development of the sixth sense) is only another word
for extrasensory perception taking place within the consciousness of man
rather than through the reactionary physical senses such as physical sight,
hearing, smell, touch and taste. Practically everyone on this earth has had
or will, at some time, be in a semi or momentarily clairvoyant state.
Anyone having a so-called hunch or
premonition is momentarily in such a state. At the great Duke University,
Dr. Rhine, in his fifty years of research on parapsychology has definitely
established the facts and truths of extrasensory perception. There are
numerous societies, associations and organizations, national and
international, whose many years of work have proven beyond a doubt that man
does have, and can also develop, this extra sense or clairvoyance,
sometimes called the sixth sense.
Any doubting Thomas can, if he is open minded enough, find in a short time,
an overwhelming mass of evidence to support this truth. In an advanced
state of clairvoyance, an individual sees and lives in a state of
consciousness which "tunes" him in, as it were, to past or future events,
places and happenings, distance being no barrier. Such an awareness or
consciousness is almost as real as the everyday
objects around him. Any particular electrical or mechanical device, such as
the television set will demonstrate to some extent the nature of this
conception.
A savage in the jungle would immediately be confounded were he presented
with the appearance of some of our every day appliances. He would quite
likely, in his failure to understand or conceive, throw up his hands and
deny the whole thing. He would, in a sense, be like the farmer who saw the
giraffe for the first time, exclaiming that "there is no such animal!"
It is, as it has always been, the great lack of ability to form new
concepts which has always caused man to throw up his hands, and cry out
loudly against the appearance of any new thought, or mechanical or
electrical contrivance. This is also quite true of most of our modern day
scientists, whether he is a man of medicine, of chemistry or of astronomy.
Therefore it is up to individuals who have developed this extra
sense or clairvoyance, to fill in the obvious gaps in our many branches of
science as well as in some of the more firmly established spiritual
concepts.
In writing an article of this kind, no effort is being made to prove what I
have found and believe is true. Truth is entirely independent of the
individual. After my thirty-five years of active research in the fields of
electronics, physics, astrophysics, parapsychology and their allied and
associated sciences, I have
succeeded in correlating and establishing an integrated concept, which when
combined with a natural and highly developed clairvoyance gives, to a
practically perfect degree, a direct mental contact not only with person to
person upon this earth, but in contacting individuals living on other
planets. This is in a sense, what can be called conscious astral flight;
inasmuch as I see the cities and the people and hear the individuals, as
they now exist on other planets. No mechanical devices are used, nor is any
particularly advanced degree of trance state entered into, maintaining
conscious continuity and being able to quote at the time, just what is
taking place both audibly and visibly, at all times.
THE TRUTH ABOUT MARS
Since the dawn of time and the beginning of man's history on this planet,
the starry skies have always been something of not only great and wondrous
beauty, but also filled with mystery and awe. The histories of the ancient
times contain numerous references to the sun, the moon and the many bright
stars and planets. Man has worshipped these heavenly bodies as deities or
gods. Quite often the very
nature of the religious beliefs of the peoples were woven around these
mystical heavenly orbs. naturally there has been a great deal of conjecture
as to life and the existence of man in some form on some of these bright
specks of light. This is especially true of the moon and of the planets of
our solar system.
Men like Copernicus, Galileo, Plato, etc., all speculated on this
possibility.
During the last twenty-five years of so, there has been a tremendous
impetus given to astronomical interests; perhaps this is partly due to the
approach of the conclusion of a great cycle and the actual beginning of the
Aquarian age. There are numerous monthly publications which deal in a
fictional way with interplanetary travel and life on other planets. There
likewise are other articles and stories which
have appeared from time to time dealing with flying saucers and space
ships, etc., which claim to be true, and as a small lad I shared this
common interest in the heavens. Often I would peer through my father's
telescope (which was of very modest power) at the moon or other bright
points of interest; winter nights would often be devoted to pouring over
any book or article containing anything of astronomical nature.
It was not, however, until the close of World War II and the sudden influx
of flying saucer stories, that time and circumstances permitted resuming
this fascinating subject. Along with metaphysical work which I did both in
churches and independently, the planets, space travel, etc., all became an
integrated part of
this work.
It was inevitable that sooner or later I should actually take a "flight" to
some planet, not that this would be done in a rocket or some such machine;
man has not progressed to such an advanced state of engineering as yet. So
any such trips would be in a clairvoyant state. I am not the only one by
far, who has had such experiences; the persons both known and unknown who
have made such flights and contacts are too numerous to mention at this
time. I might add that much of what is written in the
following pages has since been corroborated by some of these persons,
without my previously having read any articles so written by them.
It has been my consistent habit to spend an hour or so of the late evening
time in meditation. During these hours I have made innumerable contacts
with those who have passed from this plane of existence. however no serious
attempt at interplanetary contact was tried until the second month of the
year of 1955. At that time I began to be increasingly aware that something
like this was being attempted
by the peoples of other planets. One evening, about the first part of May,
of this year, while in a deep meditative state, I suddenly perceived a
rather strange looking man standing before me. At first I thought him to be
Chinese, as his dress and general appearance was somewhat similar to that
of a man of ancient China. After introducing himself as Nur El, however, he
quickly explained that he was from the planet Mars, and that if I so
desired, I could go there with him, to his city (in astral flight) and that
he would be my personal guide. He explained that his people were very
desirous in view of all the controversy going on, to clear up some of the
so-called mysteries of Mars. He further assured me that it was quite
obvious that a complete understanding was not possible in one visitation;
therefore as the first contact was made, it would be comparatively easy to
establish other contacts, as was convenient and necessary. Since this first
contact and trip was made, I have returned on several occasions; in fact,
Nur El often stood beside me as I wrote, to further clear up, or refresh my
memory regarding any details which were not entirely clear.
Now I will contact my Martian guide and take an astral flight through
space, and see just how it is that man lives on the red planet. Almost
immediately a very distinguished looking man stands before me; he is Nur
El, a man of high position and esteem from one of the Martian cities. He is
dressed in a very brilliant red suit. The coat is long, almost to the
knees, with loose fitting pantaloons. On his head is a red
hat with a square shaped brim that is turned up on four sides.
Our trip there is a matter of split seconds as no craft is used or needed.
Arriving on the surface of Mars, we are at once aware of the extremely
rugged terrain, rocky hills and sandy wastes, that stretches out endlessly
around us. There are many peculiar whirling dust clouds all about. Nur El
explains that the ionosphere is very thin which leaves the surface almost
unprotected from the various beta, gamma and
cosmic rays. This high concentration of rays ionizes the very rare and
gaseous atmosphere and together with thermal currents, creates terrific
dust storms. There is also a very thinly divided dust layer on the
ionosphere which helps create the reddish appearance of the planet. There
are also a number of volcanoes, three of which are of major size; one of
these was just barely visible on the horizon trailing a
thin wisp of smoke from its truncated cone. It was also explained that as
Mars has only seven degrees axis inclination there is not much of a
seasonal change. Water is very scarce on this arid planet; most of the
precipitation falls at the poles. Vegetation is also scarce. There are a
few varieties of prickly-cacti looking plants. Also near the polar ice
caps, grows a very luxuriant green alga-like plant that follows the melting
snow line. This spongy growth often attains a height (or depth) of forty to
fifty feet. It appears and disappears with the season as it grows
tremendously rapidly, and it also disintegrates very fast.
There are also a number of species of lizards, reptiles and of some insects
whose hard shells have enabled them to weather the extreme atmospheric
conditions and among them are giant ants which walk semi-erect on the two
hind feet. The guide tells me these are mutants which were accidentally
produced from a small ant in an atomic experiment ages ago. They are
similar to humans in a very low state of intelligence and at one time it
became necessary to make war on them, as they became so numerous and large.
These strange ant creatures average two to four feet in height and live in
rocky caves. But we did not tarry long on the surface; I followed my guide
to a rather strange looking rock. Then, taking a small whistle from his
coat pocket, he blew one note and although I heard nothing, the rock
immediately swung open disclosing a car-like elevator. We entered and,
after the door closed, I had the familiar dropping sensation of our own
modern elevators. The trip down took but a few seconds, and, upon stopping,
I stepped forth into what was my first glimpse of a Martian city.
I was immediately impressed by the soft white light that seemed to come
from everywhere. We were standing near the entrance of a large tube. On
Mars the cities are all underground and are connected together by huge oval
metal tubes from three to five hundred feet in diameter. There are monorail
cars as long as our pullman trains which glide silently and very swiftly
from one city to another. The bottoms of these immense tubes are used for
parks, growing foodstuffs and innumerable small manufacturing plants.
Because of the great distances between the cities, these tubes have been
built only partially submerged. There are emergency air locks and bulkheads
at the ends where they connect to the domes; other safety and precautionary
measures are used to protect the cities and tunnels in case of breakdowns
or outside attack. It is these tubes which have confused the astronomers on
the earth. Some believe them to be canals. There are also other theories.
The shifting desert sands often cover or uncover them which leads to
further confusion inasmuch as they seem to appear and disappear.
Turning about and looking down into the city is an unforgettable
experience. Like all cities on Mars, it is built on the floor of a huge
metal dome. These domes are sometimes four or five miles in diameter, and
up to three thousand feet high. They are constructed of huge curved trusses
of a whitish metal, seemingly of a magnesium compound. These trusses are
covered with a metal top and bottom and the space in between filled with a
plastic foam similar to the construction of the houses. This also gives
added protection from the various cosmic rays as well as sealing in the
precious air supply. Underneath the roof is an inner shell or a second
false shell which is composed of sheets of a pale blue plastic. This is
suspended from brackets from the dome at a distance of about six feet; in
this space are the many thousands of fluorescent tubes which make up the
lighting system and they reflect downward the soft radiant light which I
first noticed. I was told this light is very similar to a modified
sunlight, and is very healthful and stimulating to plant life, as well as
to the people. As these domes are built in the bottom of excavations, the
sands soon drift over them and cover them up, giving added protection from
the strong surface rays.
The cities are laid out like a wheel. The center hub is a very large
circular structure which houses the various municipal and civic
governmental departments. Underground is a very large atomic power plant
for supplying the cities' needs. The streets stretch away from the hub like
spokes, and at regular intervals circular streets are intersected; this is
similar to our national capital. The streets which radiate from the hub
rise at a very gentle rate of inclination. The houses and other buildings
are built on low elevations which rise like tiers. Walking up one of these
streets gives one the impression of walking on air, as the paving is of a
springy plastic material in a very soft shade of green. Stopping to inspect
some of the
houses, I am nearly overwhelmed by their wondrous beauty, simplicity and
charm. In every small, vacant space in the streets and grounds around the
houses are growing plants. These are mostly fruits and vegetables. They are
planted in metal troughs and other containers. The soil is a mixture of
natural and artificial plant humus and moss. The houses and buildings are
semi-prefabricated in a wide variety of plastic of pastel shades. The walls
are formed of two sheets of thin plastic about two inches apart. After the
walls are fastened together, a liquid foam like plastic material is
injected or blown in between the walls. After this hardens, it gives the
whole structure tremendous strength. This hardened plastic foam acts also
as a good insulator.
There is no problem of heat or cold in a Martian city, with an abundance of
atomic power. The whole city is air conditioned, free from dust and fumes,
and is maintained at a constant temperature of about 68 degrees. Further
comfort is assured the occupants of each home by its own air conditioner.
Huge electronic pumps suck in and filter the thin outside air and raise the
pressure to about seven pounds per square inch. This is somewhat of the
same way in which a modern earth airliner pressurizes the passenger cabins.
It also strengthens the overhead dome structure by pushing out uniformly at
all points simultaneously.
As the outside atmosphere is very rare and of a low oxygen content, the
Martian cities are becoming less and less dependent on that source of air
supply. Many thousands of years of ago they learned how to obtain air from
water by electrolysis. They also make a great effort to create great
underground reservoirs near the ice caps to drain off and store any surplus
surface water which also, along with the oxygen, has become increasingly
rare through the centuries.
At the present time, scientists on Mars are learning to make air and water
synthetically out of other elements. They have also explored every possible
existing subterranean river or lake and have added much to the dwindling
water supply by some important discoveries. It is estimated that, with
careful conservation, they will have enough water for several thousand
years, during which time other means will have been arrived at for solving
this problem.
Mars is very rich in mineral deposits of which some of the radioactive
variety are especially abundant. The planet has also, like the earth, a
molten liquid core of some of the more dense elements. Scientists on Mars
are tapping these deep fiery realms as an extra or added power supply,
although the abundant radioactive elements are at present more than
adequate to supply all the needs.
All buildings are supplied with electric power from the central power
plant. The power is radiated over ultra high frequency beams which
criss-cross the streets, and are relayed by smaller substations. On top of
each building is a split ball-like antenna which intercepts these power
beams, bringing power down onto a small secondary radiator which in turn
radiates the power through the building, lighting the lights, operating the
various motors, etc. These are, of course, all constructed very differently
than the motors and electric lights on earth, which are large, clumsy and
very inefficient by comparison.

underground cities inside the metal tubes
which the astronomer takes to be canals.
Window glass is a polarized material which transmits light one way, from
outside in, which gives privacy without the problem of shade and drapes. A
simple metal folding shutter is sometimes drawn across the window to shut
out the light when sleeping, etc. Furniture in the home is very simple and
is contoured to the body and is made of metal and plastic. The houses are
not overly furnished as are so many of
earth homes, yet there is sufficient for comfort in a simple fashion. Rugs
are a plastic foam-like material which is springy and resilient with no
dusty nap. Various colors are used and slightly raised designs which give
variety and charm to the lovely over-all appearance. The kitchens would be
a delight to the earth woman; all cooking is done in an oven which is built
in a wall cabinet. The oven is operated on high frequencies which cook all
foods in a matter of a very few minutes, or in most cases only a few
seconds. There is a dial-like indicator which is pre-set. The food to be
cooked is placed in the oven, the door closed, a red light flashes, and
presto, the meal is cooked. I did not see any boiling or frying, in the
conventional way. After dinner, the dishwashing is a very quick and simple
process. The dishes are placed in a metal cabinet, a dial set, and after a
few minutes all are clean and sparkling; no water is used. Instead, stream
of electronic energy of some sort does the job. The dishes are made of a
plastic like material which is repellent to soil.
The bathroom is also quite different. The stool appears or disappears in
the wall as needed. Disposal is efficiently taken care of by electrolysis.
Very little water apparently is used. Bathing is done in a small booth
where an atomized spray of pleasant smelling liquid is sprayed on the body
and wiped off with a very absorbent towel. Here also, no water is used.
There is also some kind of energy ray used which
stimulates and leaves the body very refreshed. Teeth are cleaned with a
sort of electronic brush which is a metal rod on a handle. Moving it around
the teeth directs a flow of energy which cleans and stimulates the teeth
and gums.
Very little of the normally expected house cleaning is done in a Martian
home; all interior surfaces are dirty repellent and, as the air is normally
very clean and inasmuch as there is no smoking, frying or similar soot
procedures, the homes are very clean and spotless.
Mounting a flight of stairs to the roof, we emerge onto a typical Martian
garden. The roofs of these homes are flat and planted with a wide variety
of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Each home grows quite a lot of the
normal supply of foodstuff it consumes. They take great pride in these roof
gardens and frequently engage in friendly competition in contests between
neighbors in an attempt to raise the most beautiful display of horticulture.
Returning to the street after my first glimpse into a Martian home, I
became aware that there was something missing which was customarily found
in a city. Glancing up and down the street, it suddenly occurred to me!
There were no stores, no shops, no neon signs or any of the familiar
garishness one finds in our cities. My bewilderment caused Nur El to smile.
Motioning me to following, he walked over to where a low, circular platform
stood, up a few inches from the street level. We stepped on this platform
and almost immediately began a slow descent through a metal tube. On coming
to rest, a door opened and we stepped out into what was another great
surprise.
Now I understood why the streets slanted up and the lack of stores and
commercial buildings, for here stretched out before me was a huge shopping
center, which in some odd way reminded me of one of our annual state fairs.
Up and down and around were streets and aisles with shops and booths
displaying the many articles of clothing and food familiar to the Martian
way of life. There was however, noticeable differences: little or no
advertising was used, the shop owner sat or stood quietly by or worked on
various article he (or she) sold. A quaint system of barter and exchange is
generally prevalent although some form of script, currently similar to a
department store charge-a-plate, is also used. Martians are inherently
honest; stealing is almost unknown. Consequently there is no need to
accumulate more than is needed, for they do not have the fear of
insecurity. There is no price haggling
over various transactions. Some sections have mechanical automat-like
dispensers in which a keyed charge-a-plate is inserted and withdrawn after
the article is discharged. Another curious feature of these market places
are the escalator sidewalks; on several of the main thorough-fares were
double tracks, one coming and one going, with a small bench-like seat to
sit on. A person merely stepped on, sat down and was moved slowly up and
down in front of the various stalls or shops. Everywhere I turned to look I
saw happy, smiling faces with none of that taut, drawn look that is so
prevalent in our cities. I was informed that there are several of these
"centers," which are regularly interspersed around the circumference of the
cities and located in the space formed by the floor of the dome and the
rural sections above. In between these market centers, much space is
devoted to the cultivation of various crops, one of which is a grain very
similar to millet. There is also a species of rice which grows with very
little moisture. It seems that many of these plant crops have been evolved
through a Burbank-like process to a point where they require the absolute
minimum of water.
No heavy manufacturing is done in these cities, but there are several domes
which are devoted to, and used almost exclusively for, this type of work.
But time was slipping by, and reluctantly I followed my guide to another
elevator and we ascended back to the main level.
As we walked along one of the streets I could not help but feel overawed by
the beauty of all the things around me: the lovely homes and roof gardens,
the landscaped parkways growing lush with fruits and flowers, the peace and
quiet which was everywhere. I looked curiously at some of those who were
passing by, although I do not believe they could see me in my astral state;
at least if they did so, they
gave no indication that they were being rudely stared at, and I assumed
their smiles and greetings were meant for Nur El. I did not see any
indication of the use of any cosmetics on the women's faces. Their eyes
were quite large and black with a distinct slant, the skin was wax-like and
beautifully colored, lips red and well shaped, which in all left nothing to
be desired in any external adornment.
There are other things which were noticeable by their absence: there is no
smoking, the use of tobacco being unheard of. Nur El chuckled when I asked
about this, stating that such a practice was grown up thumb sucking and was
a habit belonging only to those who were not completely weaned. The
drinking of alcoholic beverages is also unknown, so there were none of the
familiar taverns or liquor houses. No doubt many of the earthians would be
lost on Mars without their familiar daily and hourly inhalations and
libations of pap and bellywash.
The people of Mars are smaller than those on earth, only averaging about
four feet six inches in height. They are somewhat Mongolian in appearance.
The texture of the skin is very fine and soft, while the hair is usually
straight, black, and quite fine. The men do not need to shave for they have
eradicated electronically, the growth of hair from their faces when still
young.
Martians are much older in soul-evolution than the earthians. They
originallly migrated in space craft to Mars from a dying planet more than a
million years ago. They also came to this earth and started a colony but
found it impractical to maintain. It was also explained by Nur El that this
colony became our Chinese race through the evolution of time. The Martians
are a quiet peace-loving people. Their clothing is simple with long loose
flowing lines, with nothing to bind them, in many brilliant colors
including many shades we know not. All clothing is made of synthetic
materials as no natural fibers are grown.
Talking as we walked along, we soon came to the end of the street where it
joined the center hub. Before us was a very imposing structure which formed
part of the circular center section. As we entered I immediately became
aware that it was some kind of laboratory. Various strange chemical odors
were faintly discernable. We were met at the door by another Martian named
Yuzak. He was dressed in a
bright yellow clock or smock with a large blue circle with a cross in the
center, embroidered on the right side of the breast, which denoted his rank
as a head scientist.
After introductions he took us in tow and we proceeded to make a tour of
this great laboratory. The first section we entered was devoted to
research, Yuzak explained. His science was very much advanced compared to
that of earth. On Mars the scientists know how to create and grow live
tissue as well as plant chlorophyll. This is done by an elaborate process
which involves the use of certain kinds of life-creating radiations or
energy streams. It was explained that energy was actually, in a sense,
tapped from the fourth dimension and that in such a state it was
constructive and intelligent and could create life in artificial tissue or
plasma. Passing on into another section, which proved to be a clinic, we
found a number of doctors and attendants busily engaged in various
activities. These people were dressed in bright blue garb. We did not tarry
long here, but as we passed through, Yuzak explained that while there is
very little sickness, the same knowledge of radiant energy was also used
here to treat various physical and mental disorders. A malfunctioning
kidney could be restored in a matter of minutes; or if damaged,
could be partially or completely regrown in a few hours.
Cancer and many other so-called incurable diseases are removed or corrected
in the same electronic way. It was also explained, that in all cases, the
patient was given a psychic diagnosis which correctly locates the true
originating cause, as a psychic pressure or shock, incurred in either the
present life or in some previous lifetime. (Extended psychosomatics.)
Mental disorders, while rare, yield quickly to this treatment which quickly
removes or rectifies these malformed vortices, or thought wave patterns
which have been incurred in the subconscious or psychic body. There are no
jails or prisons; crime is considered a mental disorder and treated thusly.
Such treatment is kept secret and not exploited as we do, therefore there
is no deflation of the ego. There is no pain or shock or lengthy doctoring.
Usually the patient is home in a matter of hours.
But here again we have come to another section. In the rear of this great
building, upon entering, I am again impressed with the tremendous array of
strange and unusual looking apparatus.
I have visited laboratories, but nothing like this! Going over to the side
wall where there is a row of small glass tanks something like aquariums, I
noted that over and around each one is a tremendous array of tubes, pumps,
cables, etc. Looking closely into the tank, I see a yellowish cloudy liquid
with something in the center which looks like a baby! Recovering from my
surprise and shock, I was assured by Yuzak that it was a baby. He went on
to say that their science had advanced to such a point that this laboratory
development was possible under conditions similar to those of natural
growth in the womb of the mother.
There is first grown a capillaric system from two main tubes spaced about a
foot apart; a web of tiny tubes form. These in turn unit in the center and
form a structure similar to that found in the body. This structure is grown
in this aquarium-like tank in a plasmic-like liquid under radiant energies.
After the capillaric web is formed, a membranous tissue grows over all.
This is the artificial placenta. The ovum from the mother is then attached
and inseminated with the father's spermatozoa. From then on, the fetus
grows in a normal way being attached to the placenta with the umbilical
cord supplied with the natural blood supply which actually, in part, comes
from the mother. Under these controlled conditions the natural incubation
period may be reduced by one-half. The blood supply is constantly refreshed
and purified from a central blood bank or with such similar RH factors.

which serve as an artificial gestation period to
bring a baby into existence when natural birth is
impossible.
Nur El further explained that this laboratory process was only taken
advantage of by those women who could not ordinarily bear a child or where
there were other and sufficient reasons for so doing. Passing through this
laboratory the guide went further into the problems of birth control and
sex. He stated that children are limited to usually, two to a family so as
to prevent overcrowding and a lessening of an advanced family relationship.
The ratio of births is usually determined by the death rate average.
Sex relations are very sacred and considered a great creative gift. There
are none of the usual sexual stimulants, such as advertising, spiced heavy
foods, etc., which tend to over-excite the people of earth. Consequently,
sex assumes its rightful place in the life of the Martians.
These people have a basic spiritual concept which teaches them from birth,
the importance of love of one another and finding their greatest joys of
life in doing for each other, not doing each other. I did not see any of
our familiar churches and steeples; it was explained to me that there are
none. Worship is not a pagan-like bowing down to some mythical god (or
gods), but a twice daily observance to the Great Infinite Creative Course ,
and there is a once-weekly community observance giving thanks to this
Source.
Other spiritual aspects of Martian life include communications with those
who have passed into the spirit world; in fact, every Martian considers his
spirit friends and relatives a part of his daily life. No doubt the Chinese
have derived their ancestor worship from this source.
The Martians have also developed reincarnation to a point where it forms an
integral part of their lives; they plan for a future time when they will
again relive a new life among old friends and relatives. Many children
frequently identify themselves as former loved ones.
I was tremendously impressed and overawed by all that I had just seem,
when, passing out of the building, we entered the courtyard or foyer to the
central section which is a large community stage and theater. Sitting there
to rest, my guide went on to further explain some of these fascinating
facets of life in these cities. He was still talking of children, and said
that soon after the birth of a child, all the potential
mental faculties and quotients were determined by an electronic diagnosis,
and any criminal or negative characteristics were removed by the radiant
energy process. The child was further conditioned against such recurrence.
There are no public schools. The child is taught to a large extent in his
sleep by a "Z-ray" which imparts the lessons or knowledge directly into his
subconscious mind. This ray can be likened somewhat to a radio frequency
which carries the spoken word yet is inaudible to the ear; in this case
however, it is received and stored for use in the child's mind.
Usually a child will have the equivalent to a college education by the time
he has reached the age of ten. Such schooling is done to bring out the best
points of character and to especially train him in whatever vocation he is
best suited for. As I listened to the soft accented voice of my Martian
friend, my mind inadvertently began to recall and compare scenes of my
earth life with the simple quiet way I was just beginning to glimpse and
understand. Things like the roaring streets and highways, the stench and
smell of thousands of cars, of hate and greed and avarice. Nur El caught my
thoughts and for a moment stopped speaking. A slow smile lifted the corners
of his mouth and his eyes began to twinkle. "No," he said, "these people
would not migrate to the earth. First they would have to become accustomed
to the
difference in air pressure, and if this were done suddenly it might be very
dangerous, like a diver going down beneath the water too quickly." He
paused a moment then continued. "Then there would be deadly disease germs
and the many viruses that we here on Mars, not having had such things for
thousands of years, have lost our resistance to."
I could see his point but I wondered a bit as to how they knew so much
about the earth, but patiently he explained that there were semi-surface
observatories with electronic telescopes as well as a variety of radio and
radar-like devices which gave them a very good idea of what went on there.
Besides some of the more advanced scientists were masters at astral flight.
Even an ordinary citizen of Mars was quite adept at mental telepathy and
this type of communication was used as much as speech.
But I was curious about the large theater which was confronting me;
however, I waited until the explanation came that this was the large
central theater or community playhouse. Here the various plays, pageants,
and observances took place. There were also many civic orchestras, and
various kinds of folk dances were given here. Many of these customs are of
ancient origin and the meaning of some has
almost been lost in antiquity. I was privileged to see part of a spring
festival. Here on the great central stage several hundred children were
gathered in large circles are decorated profusely with flower garlands; in
the center was the queen of spring. The children were all moving slowly to
and fro and chanting a slow sing-song rhythm. It was all very beautiful and
color.
Going back into the ring shaped building, we emerged into what were some of
the chambers used for judging or administrative phases. The government is
of very simple form. I was amazed when told there are no written laws. Each
citizen lives under a simple understanding, of unwritten code. It was a
very reasonable fascimile, if not the actual golden rule. In other words,
do for others first. If a person acts
selfishly, or begins to steal or shows symptoms of anger, he is considered
ill and treatment is quickly administered.
Each five families have a group leader or "Icla," as he is called. He
represents this group and is responsible for their general welfare. The
judges or heads of different departments are chosen on their merit and it
is usually done through elimination, examinations which require a lifetime
of special training. There are no political systems. Brains and character
alone determine a candidate's fitness for an office.
Male and female are regarded as equal and with no discrimination shown.
There are no old age institutions in these Martian cities. Great respect is
shown the aged and they live with their children until the time of passing.
No doubt the Chinese on the earth brought this custom of respect and
venerance down through the ages from their Martian ancestors.
Passing along through a hallway, we again emerged into what I immediately
gathered to be a library. Here a number of persons were busily engaged in
sorting and caring for a large variety of books (if they can be compared to
ours). These were for the most part, rather ancient scroll-like volumes,
but there were others which resembled somewhat our own bound volumes. I was
told that this library was kept mostly for research and for historical
reasons, as comparatively little reading or writing is down in our usual
manner. Most records are kept in memory machines or some other unfamiliar
electronic device. The alphabet consists of a number of cryptograms. I did
not linger long enough, however, to go into things of this nature in
detail. Another thing that did impress me was the wide variety of pictures
and
objects of art which were everywhere. These people are exceedingly artistic
and almost everyone spends some time at his particular chosen expression
decorating screens, ceramics, furniture, etc.; all were given some
treatment whenever opportunity presented. It was all in very good taste,
however, and most pleasing to the eye. These traits are quite evident in
our modern Chinese.
Going through several of these offices we again emerged into the open air.
Before us was one of the larger radial streets; coming down this street was
what looked like a silver gondola of some sort, suspended from an overhead
rail. going closer to examine this strange craft, I found that it was about
twenty feet long. It had six or eight bucket-like seats. There is a rather
elaborate system of control used.
All is done, of course, electronically. There is an 'eye' on each end to
keep it spaced a reasonable distance from other cars. Gyroscopes are used
to prevent sway and it is powered by a motor in each flanged wheel which
rides a single rail, suspended at short intervals by metal standards. These
cars are stopped with a single blast of a noiseless supersonic whistle and
started after the passengers sit down. A number of the main radial
streets have this monorail shuttle car system. Others used moving
sidewalks, somewhat similar to escalators.
Inside
the tubes, which are the martian cities, are these
little
shuttle cars, used for transportation.
At this point my inspection of these very interesting monorail cars was
interrupted by what appeared to be a gay group of people going into one of
the nearby homes. As they disappeared, laughing and chatting through the
doorway, I turned and looked inquiringly at Nur El. He smiled as he
informed me there was a marriage going on. He went on to explain that
marriage is very sacred here; very rarely is
there a separation or divorce. As children, couples are selected according
to their mental quotient and their compatibility. Further work in
preparation is done until the time when they are actually joined marriage,
usually around the age of twelve or fifteen (as compared to our years).
These marriage ceremonies last for about three days. The first day is spent
in the exchanging of gifts between the respective families. The second day
is devoted to mind projection and various semi-secret preparations. The
whole affair climaxes on the evening of the third day with a banquet.
Sitting on opposite sides of a long low table, the close relatives of the
bride and groom eat a silent meal, not glancing up or looking across the
table during the entire time. This silence is broken by the two fathers, or
in the case of their absence, the mothers can substitute by the sharing of
a cup made from the juices
of certain fruits. After this, the cup is passed around and the whole thing
ends up with several hours of merrymaking. Then a parade takes the
newlyweds to their new home.
But to return to the subject of transportation. It seems that these people
do not travel much, as compared to our earth people. There is, of course,
considerable inter-city travel over the monorail car system which I saw in
the tube. There is however, a kind of communication which renders a great
deal of travel unnecessary. This is a form of telephone, or teleview as it
could more properly be called. Besides
conversing, each party can see the other one through a small screen similar
to our television. This of course, can be shut off by manipulating a
button, in the event there is a need for privacy. Speaking of television,
their system is far more advanced than ours; the screen is built into the
wall of the room and is about four by five foot square. All programs are in
three dimensional color, very lifelike and natural. Such programs are, of
course, the very highest type. As there is only one channel to a city, all
program material is produced and telecast by the people themselves, since
there is no advertising or sex intimations but only such things as the
festivals, lectures, various stage presentations or musicals which take
place in the central theater. Little or no news is broadcast and then only
that which is of a nature which would not cause fear or restlessness.
Music plays an important part in life here. Most of the instruments are of
the string type and are usually plucked. There are some reed or flutelike
instruments which help give variety. There are none of the heavy percussive
type which form a large part of our modern orchestras. the music itself is,
for the most part, a quaint sing-song-like rhythm or chant which usually
depicts some story or moral lesson; or even historical events are
portrayed. Considerable color is used in the stage presentations, which
gives much added charm as the innumerable color combinations rise and fall
with the rhythm of the chant.
Since my initial trip, I have returned to Mars several times and have
learned much more about this fascinating civilization. To those who are
proponents and ardent supporters of our free enterprise system, let it be
said that they have a great shock coming to them. On Mars there is no
dog-eat-dog competition such as we, on earth, are so familiar with.
Everyone works for the government because the government is the people!
This highly developed socialistic system is not to be confused with any
so-called communistic governments on earth. The Martians never break laws,
consequently there are no laws. They have long ago eliminated legislative
bodies. How different here! We have a huge and vast intricate network of
legislative bodies, as well as various branches of law enforcement. The
average
American has many thousands of laws to obey. The great majority of the
people either knowingly or unknowingly are breaking laws. As fast as a way
is found to circumvent one law, a new one is passed to prevent this! The
modern Chinese have placed a great deal of personal value on face; they
would rather die than lose face. This sense of personal integrity was
brought down through the ages from their
Martian ancestors. The average Martian has an advanced state of conscious
personal integrity. This eliminates the ponderous and very expensive system
of government to which we are accustomed. There is in consequence a vastly
simplified way of life. There are no taxes, as this land is run like a
highly ordered non-profit business. The various departmental or executive
heads are all highly trained specialists and hold their positions because
of ability and integrity.
Another thing which some earth people would miss on Mars is money. They
actually use no money. Therefore there is no banking system. The citizen of
Mars is, in a sense, his own bank and his medium of exchange is his honesty
(his credit). Everyone works. There are no loafers or unemployed. They all
take great pride in their vocation. Work is not done for personal gain or
selfish reasons.
There is on Mars no sense of insecurity for all are provided for including
the aged and the incompetent. A working person is provided with a metal
plate whereon are stamped his (or her) name and an identifying number. This
plate is used in the large automat-like dispensers which I was shown on the
lower floor level. When a person desires food, clothing, or whatever the
need, he merely inserts this charge-a-plate
(if I can call it such) and withdraws it, along with the article. As he is
a very honest person, he never gets more than he needs or is entitled to.
This is done strictly on his own personal sense of honor and integrity. As
he has no sense of insecurity, he never hoards or takes more than he
requires. We can imagine what would happen if our great hordes of
dishonest, grasping, selfish people were turned loose in the Martian cities!
There are none of the conveyor belt-line techniques that we use here,
although they are very advanced in science, electronics and machinery; yet
there are a great many hand-made products. They realize that a vast
productive system would only defeat their way of life. The more a man works
the more he can take home, so if a machine takes his place, he has nothing!
An article is valued only for its usefulness and
not for the profit it might bring. There is some semi-private enterprise.
In case a person makes some product in his spare time, he may open a booth
where it is displayed. All such enterprises operate on a barter exchange
system. As there are no profits, these private exchanges consequently are
not running in competition with any other.
I have gone to some length in trying to point out and explain what is very
obviously a superior way of life. We Americans have for a long time prided
ourselves as having the best way of life on earth. This is quite true as
far as earth as concerned, but not in a broad unlimited view. As Einstein
once said, "we are never fools until we quit seeking."
In our present democratic system (which is actually capitalistic), we have
long passed the point of diminishing returns. A government should be of the
people and we should not lose this goal in our haste for profits. The
average citizen of the earth has a state of existence something like a
whipped circus animal. Yes, it is quite true that we have a higher level of
life than many other countries, but what a price we are paying for this!
And couldn't we get something better if we tried? But back to our Martian
friends.
From childhood they are taught to be useful and productive. Because of
their simplified living habits, they have more time for self-improvement
and for developing new types of plastics, textiles, etc. They usually limit
their meals to only two a day and even those are very simple, consisting
primarily of vegetables and fruits, with some synthetic foods. The Martians
are not meat eaters partly for the reason that animal life has largely
passed from existence on Mars, with the exception of mutants and the few
obscure species previously mentioned, and these are inedible. The Martian
has learned how to grow, and also to synthesize many species and to produce
artificially, many protein foods. Many nuts (some of which look somewhat
like peanuts) are raised. A large nut similar to a pecan is grown on vines.
There is a vegetable something like a cross between cabbage and lettuce,
the leaves being three-fourth of an inch thick and about a foot wide! It is
light green in color and very nourishing. Another common vegetable looks
like our onion, but has large, flat, flared leaves. The people produce
artificial sunlight in huge tubes so they can grow foods in their
underground cities.
Space is not too plentiful. There are some dwarf trees, three to four feet
high with a fruit that looks like an orange but has meat like that of an
apple, is red skinned and sweet. It is called sit-yu. Some other vegetables
are grown in troughs in long rows. These look like huge mushrooms and have
a delicious meat.
Martians are closely connected with the Venusians through thought
transference or mental telepathy. At one time, interplanetary travel was
used, but these spacecraft are at present stored in huge underground
hangars, and are being held in readiness for any emergency, such as a
sudden mass evacuation of the population should any unexpected need arise.
Yuzak explained that the science of interplanetary travel was something
very difficult for earth man to understand inasmuch as the people and the
craft itself would, in taking off, actually change the rate of vibration of
their own and the craft's atomic structure. Thus they would in a sense
become weightless and temporarily free of various usual forces such as
gravitation, inertia, etc. This is something like
pre-conditioning for fire-walking which is still practiced in different
parts of the globe.
My guide went on to explain that this science of changing the atomic
vibration rates is a very advanced one, and that if the earthmen would
learn this, it would remove all the present day obstructions and barriers
such as materials, fuel, pressures and the hundreds of other hindrances to
present day space travel. At present their experiments have progressed to a
point where a man's body can be changed into
electrical energies, sent over a radar beam and then changed back to the
original state; all in a matter of a split second, and with no pain or
discomfort to the individual.
This no doubt sounds fantastic, but remember that this same thing is being
done here frequently, from the spirit side of life. The memoirs of Sir
William Crookes give an example of this in his experience with Katy, who
materialized after being "dead" for several years. She was so real that he
embraced and kissed her. Afterward he said she was as real as his living
wife! Nowadays it is only the ignorant man who scoffs at any new ideas, and
no doubt there will be those who will be unable to believe these truths;
but it does not matter, since that still does not alter the facts. Just
fifty years ago they were laughing at the Wright brothers - and think of
what has been invented and improved and brought into use since that time.
No less so in the future. The things of science which are commonplace in
the Martian way of life could well become a part of ours in some future day.
I was informed that the Martians understand what is happening to the earth
people and its veritable rat race, and they are very desirous of aiding
through mental telepathy to inspire as many of the earthians as are
receptive to their ways for the advancement of mankind and the improvement
of conditions on this planet, and within man himself. Until man realizes
the great over-balance on the material side and gains the necessary
spiritual knowledge we cannot hope to be harmonious with the other more
advanced planets. They say that it is realized only too well that they must
not interfere with the evolution or progress of man on earth to any great
extent, for it would not be in keeping with God's immutable law of
individual soul progress.
The scientists of Mars have informed me that our telescopes, in the
photographing process, are subject to error and do not get refraction but
infraction. Sometimes the light rays, or vibrations as they are more
properly called, are at times subjected to distortions, or bendings, in
their flight through space, due to the
proximity of some other planetary body. Because of the conjunction of
magnetic lines of force, the astronomer does not always get a true picture
of what he thinks he is seeing. Also the planet Mars, on the outside of its
surface, has a tremendously charged shell. While it is invisible to the
eye, this can cause great distortions in light-ray frequencies.
And so the time has come, at least for the present, to return to our more
familiar planet earth, and I do so reluctantly, for there are still many
more facets of life on (rather in) Mars of which I have only a slight
understanding. I would like to learn more of their various customs,
celebrations and observances. Obviously it cannot all be taken in during
only a few trips. I cannot recall a single instance of this most
fascinating and interesting experience of my visits to Mars without a deep
feeling of awe, reverence and gratitude to this very fine person who calls
himself Nur El for giving so unselfishly of his time and efforts in
explaining so many things about the planet, its people, manners, etc. But
the most important part he is playing, along with many others on their
planet - for all have this one thing in common - is to present the plea for
man to heed their warnings and put the use of atomic energy to constructive
use, instead of in bombs. For through their ability of clairvoyance and
mental telepathy they can see what is happening, and are tremendously
concerned regarding their own planets. For anyone who understands even the
slightest degree regarding the fourth dimension, can't help but realize
that the destruction caused by the explosions and other results on the
physical plane are indeed a very small part of the upheaval which takes
place in the higher realms of existence, and even on the other planets.
When throwing a pebble into a pool, we can only see the ripples with the
physical eyes, but still down, on and on, goes the stone regardless of
whether we see it or not. The men on other planets are pleading for their
own sake as well as ours for us to cease this nonsensical destructive thing
that can only lead to tremendous repercussions in the ethers, even to a far
greater degree than in the material or physical way.
There is also a grave concern by these people about our destructive
downhill way of life. We are creating and breeding a race of psychopathic
misfits in our highly specialized, mechanical world. The people are
becoming robots. They cannot sleep for nightmares from fear and insecurity.
Their days are an endless succession of almost frantic scurrying, or worse,
a robot-like existence of work, sleep, and work. On every hand flagrant
psychological and sexual stimulants are used for advertisements; suggestion
is used to hammer home these cheap and malicious messages until the brain
becomes numb and neurotic. Exploitation of the masses has become a highly
specialized science, ruthless and cold-blooded, running the gamut from
charity to vice.
On the other hand there are almost equally frantic attempts being made by
various religious groups, churches, individuals, etc., to portray in some
way to the great masses the grave dangers confronting them. These efforts
are pitifully small and weak. Moreover, these efforts are not above
suspicion, for there are, here as elsewhere, many charlatans.
Resolving all these facts, and in trying to establish and correlate an
active, vital, spiritual concept in their hearts and minds, earthlings must
find their own solution. Quite likely, in some future day, man will evolve
a way of life that will embody not only some of the old spiritual and
psychological factors which have been tried and tested, but many new and
advanced facts will be added (new at least as far as the
majority of the people are concerned).
In this spiritually and scientifically integrated philosophy of life man
will find not only surcease from this present day's made race to oblivion,
but will find instead a new concept of the continuity of life, and with a
Garden of Eden life will come happiness, creativeness and fearlessness.
It was intimated in the foregoing pages that it was quite obvious that it
would require several trips to gain a comprehensive understanding of the
Martian way of life, and that therefore, I would quite likely, from time to
time, make similar visits or flights. Since concluding the last pages, Nur
El has made contact several times and has given or shown me pertinent
information regarding several issues which I would like to clear up. In
case some of you are wondering just as I did, what caused his people to go
underground and why they do not migrate to some other planet since they
have all the necessary craft to do so. Nur El explained all this by first
saying that Mars was, up until about 100,000 years ago, a planet very
similar to the earth. There was air, water, and an abundance of plant and
animal life. The cities
flourished on the surface just as ours do. At that time, through their
occult science and also with their superior telescopes they saw, somewhere
out in space, a cataclysm take place. One of the giant suns suddenly went
berserk, flared up like a nova and then exploded in a terrific blinding
flash. Huge chunks hurtled out into space in different directions, each one
a smaller, white-hot, atomically-burning sun,
shooting off great streamers of atomic energies. It was determined by
calculations, that one of these fiery pieces would pass very close to our
solar system. As it was larger than our own sun, it was conceivable that
there would be tremendous gravitational pull, besides giving off great
energies. It was also determined, as light traveled much faster in space
than this huge chunk, that it would pass our solar
system. This therefore gave the Martians a grace period for preparation.
They had, however, a choice: to stay on Mars or to migrate to another
planet far away from this solar system. After a search of the nearby,
practical limits of the heavens, it was found that there was no other
planet available which would be suitable. So an alternative was decided
upon. They could build huge cities underground! During the next two hundred
years or so, an almost frantic building program was assiduously pursued. We
can well imagine some of the problems, the sacrifices, and the labor and
research which went into this tremendous project, but it was finally
accomplished. In due time all was snug and ship-shape as possible. Buried
deep under many feet of rock and earth, in their newly constructed
dome-like cities, the
people of Mars waited for the final hours. Day by day they watched the
white glowing mass of light grow larger and larger. There was no really
accurate way by which to measure how close it would pass or just how hot it
would be. No doubt many thought it would be the end!
Finally the hour struck. Nur El stated that for eight days the planet was
rocked, torn and twisted as great forces blasted and ripped the surface.
Plant and animal life disappeared almost entirely, except for the few
species which escaped by being buried in caves. The air and water too, were
largely dissipated or drawn off with the passing nova. When it was over,
Mars was decimated and burned to a cinder.
Other planets also suffered. On earth there were great earthquakes and
tidal waves. A great continent and civilization, called Lemuria, sank
beneath the sea. Great deserts were burned into the surface in places which
were formerly beautiful forests and plains. The Sahara and Gobi deserts
were two of these. Earth's orbit and axis (or the poles) were also changed.
Instead of a circular orbit Earth was rocked into an elliptical orbit, with
the addition of a very slight but definite wobble or oscillation, which it
has never lost. Uranus was pushed out into an orbit much further away from
the sun. Neptune suffered a similar fate although not quite so pronounced.
It is conceivable that the other planets were also affected according to
their size and position at the time of the passing of this huge celestial
"atom bomb." No doubt the knowledge of this cataclysm will clear up some of
the mysteries of Earth's history which have been puzzling the seekers of
truth for many years.
Another question might be asked in regard to the Martians' system of time.
As nearly as can be determined, they maintain a daylight and dark cycle of
days just as we do; this is done by simply dimming the overhead dome-lights
at regular intervals. A week is about twelve days. There are apparently no
months tabulated, but the year is divided into four quarters, something
like the seasons. Their sense of time is quite different from ours. They
practice none of the hurry scurry which is so prevalent here. Thus there is
no constant clock watching, or the tensions which such a practice produces.
Here again is a similarity to the Chinese, i.e., 'there is always
tomorrow,' a familiar Chinese adage. Not that it should be construed that
they are a lazy or indolent race, from from it. They are very industrious,
but mark each day by their accomplishments and not with the passing of
hours.
Just in the event that there may be individuals who may take personal
resentment, or a wrong view of any comparisons which have been made as to
forms of government, etc., for the record let it be said: I consider myself
just as much a loyal staunch American as any other citizen. My parents and
grandparents were all pioneers and helped carve out of a wilderness, what
is now known as the state of
Utah. Moreover, my views on present day political systems are comparatively
average. As a philosopher and scientist however, I might point out as
others have, many obvious flaws which are a matter of present day concern.
it is the task of our legislative bodies to anticipate and to circumvent
such flaws. The Constitution is, in its entirety, a very wonderful document
which expresses very highly evolved
concepts of living. Such documents and governments resulting from them are,
however, effective to the relative degree in which the so governed people
integrate them. The end result therefore devolves upon each individual so
participating. The fact that there are twenty-one amendments proves the
correctness of this reasoning. We must always remember that at no time in
life should we ever assume we have reached perfection. We must always
visualize an infinite universe in which perfection is only relative. We
must not become restless or dissatisfied with what we have. Rather, let us
be thankful to our Creator for
each daily manifestation of His love and abundance, always secure in the
knowledge that He will always so manifest. Our forefathers and those who
helped carve out this great nation had such idealism and faith. Because we
have countless conveniences which they knew not, we must not lose our
initiative to keep pushing back the frontiers of ignorance, fear and
insecurity.
Our present civilization, good as it is in some respects, leaves much to be
desired. It has been the purpose of Nur El, the people of Mars and myself
to bring you some understanding of their ways of life, hoping thus to bring
about, not only among the nations of the world, but future interplanetary
relationships which are harmonious and conducive to a better way of life.
We all salute you and wish you infinite love, wisdom and peace.
ADDENDA
Shortly after writing this article there appeared in the Saturday Review,
on May 28, 1955, an article written by Dr. Robert S. Richardson, astronomer
at Mount Palomar, which refers to the findings of the International
Committee on Mars, which closed its fourth conference on March 25, 1955.
There are several interesting statements made, on which I will comment. Mr.
Richardson states the consensus of opinion is that there is life on Mars,
or that it could exist. This is at least some progress in the right
direction. Also he is quite correct about the deserts. Most of the surface
of the planet is semi-arid waste lands. It is however, incorrect to say
there is no oxygen there.
The presence of the green maria, which he called sponge-like algae, proves
the presence of oxygen, although in a comparatively rare state. As everyone
knows, oxygen is necessary in the breathing cycle of any plant which
contains chlorophyll (oxygen on Mars is about 10% of the density of the
earth's oxygen) as was stated in the aforementioned article. This
sponge-like algae is found growing along the edges of the snow banks and
often attains a height of forty to fifty feet. It dries up with the
vanishing of the snow caps and regrows the following spring.
What the doctor states regarding water on Mars is very true. It is very
scarce and the people of the underground cities take great pains to
conserve every gallon of it.
As to the temperatures, that is still a matter of conjecture. It is a very
tricky business to measure heat over thirty-five millions of miles
distance. Moreover, surface temperatures do not affect the inhabitants of
the underground cities, as they are completely pressurized and conditioned
with temperatures maintained at
a comfortable level.
The most surprising part of the entire article was that there was
absolutely no mention of the famous canals of Mars. I wonder what happened
to them? These canals were for many years a great controversial subject.
The photograph in this article does not show them, but this is perhaps
explained by the fact that this photo was taken with infrared light film.
It may be that the savants at Mt. Palomar would like to explain this.
It is of questionable value that the writer interjected such a material
angle as real estate. It seems it would have been wise to confine the
remarks within the domain of science and leave this problem up to some of
our great promoters in that future day of landing. It might also be that
the Martians would resent our tearing up their planet.
It is also probable that in that future day when man does have space travel
to mars, he will be able to take his wife or loved ones along. Landing
there will be somewhat like taking a plane to a far off city on this
planet. On arriving on Mars the space ship will be taxied into a huge
airlock. The passengers will disembark and find hotels and accommodations
in a similar fashion as on earth. (Assuming of course that such factors as
freedom from germ life, health, adaptability to lower air pressures, etc.,
have been fully compensated for.)
It is unfortunate indeed that the astronomers of today take such a dim view
of the possibility of life on other planets. They should be in a position
to know better than anyone else. Does it not seem a bit preposterous to
assume that in all the countless billions of suns, star clusters, galaxies,
etc. and their associated planetary systems, that earth and Mars alone are
inhabited?
Perhaps we should refer to Jesus of Nazareth when he stated that, "In my
Father's house are many mansions."
In that distant day when space travel is a reality, let us hope that our
men of science are universally schooled in the knowledge of the Infinite
God and that we will find in this wisdom an integrated philosophy of life,
one which will supply our need and an answer to every problem.
In that future day, we will have put aside all our petty quibbling over
interpretations. We will find God not only in the heart and mind of man but
in everything in this material Universe.
A WORD ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Just fifty years ago in a small town in northern Utah, Ernest L. Norman
made his debut into this planet Earth. It was apparent right from the first
that he was an unusual child. his mother nearly died in the process of his
introduction, because of the abnormally large head. it is said he had the
body of an eight pound child, but weight over twelve pounds!
Before he was hardly two, he was experimenting with writing and long before
he went to school for the first time, he was quite familiar with the
English language; so much so, he was reading his father's library. His
father, incidentally, was a very learned man, of royal Norwegian descent
and had degrees in law, psychology, physiology and phrenology.
The author was the fifth of eight boys and girls, all strong lads and
lassies and it was quite natural for them to resent having a brother who
was so studious.
At the tender age of five he constructed his first microscope using the
eyepiece section from his father's telescope, and by inserting it in a
wooden frame made from a cigar box and a small piece of mirror, he was able
to count the hairs on earthworms.
At the age of six he performed an unusual and prodigious feat. Using his
knowledge of Archimedean laws of fulcrums, levers and rollers, he moved an
8 x 12 foot coal shed containing one-half a ton of coal over a distance of
approximately 200 feet, through an apple orchard and over soft ground to a
new and more convenient location. This feat took him about three weeks to
accomplish and was one which would have taxed the strength and endurance of
a strong man. This accomplishment was carefully noted day by day, by his
father who would boastingly report the progress made to the townspeople.
It was also at this early period of life, that he constructed a rabbit
hutch which was vastly superior in design and workmanship to one
constructed by an adult neighbor more than six times his age. This he did,
using old rusted out, discarded tools.
Another time, at the age of seven, he bested his father in an argument,
i.e., that all energy was electronic. At present he is completely
vindicated inasmuch as science today is resolving into this conclusion.
During his early teen-age years in junior and senior high school, he
established several new "high water" marks in biology, genetics, science,
etc., and won several noteworthy citations as well as attracting some
interest from his teachers.
It is estimated that at the age of fourteen, he had a vocabulary of about
sixty thousand words! It was easy to see then, that this boy, who in winter
time read almost continuously or dreamed the summer away watching nature,
had not wasted or played his time away as most lads are wont to do.
At the age of seventeen, his family moved to California and temporarily, at
least, formal school was finished. But he persisted, even taking night
classes in various subjects. At the age of twenty-three, and just before
the depression, he married and remained so for fourteen years.
During this time, he became very active in radio and electronics. It was
his wife who always said they had the best radios in the neighborhood and
they were always hand constructed.
After World War Two, he devoted himself to his lifetime dream, metaphysics,
and became an ordained minister in an occult science church. From the very
start, in this work, it became evident he possessed an outstanding
clairvoyant development and, during the war years, demonstrated this talent
not only in churches and lecture halls, but in almost any place opportunity
presented itself and achieved no small
measure of fame in this capacity.
However, it is his ambition at this time and has been for many years, to
fill in the gaps in our scientific and spiritual philosophies of the world,
and to set up a new and integrated philosophy of life.
With this most outstanding ability of clairvoyance, coupled with a
tremendous grasp of scientific knowledge, he is very humble and
unpretentious, refusing to attach the stigma of self to whatever comes
through the channel of his mind and is ever aware of attunement with the
Superconscious.
On the forehead of the author is a large welt, in a perfect raised circle.
This becomes activated at time when he is inspired or attuned, as though it
is a necessary factor in making contact, mentally, with the intelligences
of other dimensions or on other planets. Another strange phenomenon is the
nail holes in
the palms of his hands, which appeared physically during a psychic working
out with his previous life in Jerusalem and the crucifixion and are most
surely points of great interest in showing that he is indeed a most unusual
soul, mentally and spiritually and has reached a very rare, if ever
duplicated, state of consciousness through his countless thousands of
lifetimes of endeavor in these fields.
Many very miraculous healings have come through Dr. Norman. His conscious
mind is able to contact the Superconscious which can tune into the past
experiences and past lives of the individuals to actually locate and view
the experience in a former life which is responsible for the present
illness; thus being able to eliminate or neutralize the impinging vortex
from the psychic body of the individual by mental and spiritual means. Many
wonderful healings and permanent cures have thusly been achieved.
The Spiritual Science of Unarius which is used is not one of happenstance
or guesswork but his ability to tap, in a scientific way, the energies of
the Infinite. Just so surely, those same powers and energies are ever
present to keep us well, vital and at peace when we align ourselves into
them.

I would like to take this opportunity to share a word of praise and
appreciation for the wonderful art work done by my artist collaborator, a
young man named Donald Burson.
