<p> INTRODUCTION</p>
|
|
<p>For centuries before spacecraft transformed our under-standing
|
|
of the solar system, almost all the planets were believed, with
|
|
varying degrees of conviction, to be inhabited. This belief conformed
|
|
to the Copernican world view, in which Earth is not unique among the
|
|
planets. When the Space Age opened in 1957, the evidence for
|
|
indigenous life was strongest for Mars - almost conclusive, on the
|
|
face of it - and from the beginning the search for life on Mars became
|
|
a major goal of the United States' Space Program. The result was the
|
|
historic series of spacecraft that began with MARINER 4, in 1965, and
|
|
ended with VIKINGS 1 & 2, in 1976.</p>
|
|
<p>The dawning of the Space Age is a material event, occurring in
|
|
the latter part of the 20th Century, and as the description that
|
|
follows is a result of a developed mental means of communication, it
|
|
strengthens the understanding of this means of communication as being
|
|
the real and more apparent factor in the transference of energy from
|
|
point to point.</p>
|
|
<p>Dr. Ernest L. Norman is the progenitor and a mental giant,
|
|
writing from the higher statement of a full consciousness of the
|
|
reality of the mind as a cosmic centrifuge. This is the first book
|
|
written by him in 1955, inaugurating the Unarius Academy of Science.</p>
|
|
<p>In this small but important book, a first, Dr. Norman extends the
|
|
present knowledge of life on our close companion planet Mars, which
|
|
has all of the basic biological and geological conditions for the
|
|
evolutionary development of life forms, including Homo sapiens. He
|
|
addresses mankind, not with the hardware of rocketry, space probes and
|
|
other sophisticated, high-energy technology, but introduces the
|
|
individual to not only the possibility or probability of life on other
|
|
planets, but in actuality, through the higher factors of the mind,
|
|
immediately taking the reader to planet Mars to reveal the enigma of
|
|
this planet. This enigma has been tantalizing the minds of humankind
|
|
for hundreds of years, that has occasioned a series of narrations over
|
|
the years, titillating the imagination of mankind throughout
|
|
civilizations up until the present time.</p>
|
|
<p>The importance of this booklet is that the mind, man's enigma,
|
|
can reveal the power existent, to apply in all ways necessary for the
|
|
progressive development of any individual so desirous of expanding the
|
|
central intelligence of himself in his relationship to the apparency
|
|
and to the vitality of society on this and other earth planets.</p>
|
|
<p>For this reason, Dr. Norman, as an Elder Brother, pointed the way
|
|
for aspiring mankind to overcome the limitations of his narrow
|
|
confinement in the material sectors of life, as is the present
|
|
pioneering efforts of our scientific community through the auspices of
|
|
the United States National Aeronautics & Space Administration.</p>
|
|
<p>The expository nature of Dr. Norman's description of the reality
|
|
of human life, living underground, is a vital teaching, not only of
|
|
the magnanimous nature of man in overcoming the limitations of his
|
|
material environment, but also of the reality of the interplanetary
|
|
life of Homo sapiens!</p>
|
|
<p>The data now being collated by the many thousands of computer-enhanced images from the ZINC probes are validating the pre-history of
|
|
Mars as an integrated and formed world of an ancient civilization.
|
|
However, it will not be until Earth humans land on Mars that the
|
|
evidence of Martian society will be known and accepted. The computer-enhanced image revealing a 'face on Mars', is capturing the interest
|
|
of many people, including those in the scientific sector; a prelude to
|
|
the buildup of further hard data, revealing the evidence of the ruins
|
|
of ancient, advanced civilizations in the Cydonia region of Mars.</p>
|
|
<p>All of the precluding is the material evidence necessary for
|
|
those who do not have second sight or who have not developed the
|
|
mechanics of their third eye, with the reality of their sixth, seventh
|
|
and higher senses. But this should not deter anyone, and in fact, is
|
|
the objective of this writing, to wake up the reader to his unlimited
|
|
capacity in that he too, can communicate through his sixth and higher
|
|
senses. This so-called 'telepathy' a principle of frequency and
|
|
harmonics, will reveal to him the evidence of the evolutionary design
|
|
of life on companion earth planets.</p>
|
|
<p>The exploration of Mars is in this sense, the first phase of
|
|
reawakening mankind to the reality of the expanding universe, right in
|
|
his own backyard, in his own solar system. The reality is that earth
|
|
planets are abundant in our Milky Way Galaxy. The reality is that man
|
|
has communicated via spacecraft and is continuing to communicate with
|
|
the denizens of this planet through telecommunication or mental means,
|
|
-the normal methods of communication of advanced Space Brothers.</p>
|
|
<p>With all of this, of course, is the other reality! Present Earth
|
|
history has not revealed the true story of man's past, and the reasons
|
|
why technology has outdistanced the knowledge of man's humanity to his
|
|
fellowman and of his creative spirituality.</p>
|
|
<p>You will therefore read in this booklet that the Martian people
|
|
are wiser in their knowledge of their inherent human nature and
|
|
practice this cosmic principle in their society. War is not a factor
|
|
to disrupt their peaceful existence, and science and technology
|
|
functions equally balanced with man's spiritual coefficient.</p>
|
|
<p>The picture that emerges is of earthman beginning to realize that
|
|
he has the capacity to leave his nest, to move out into the stars and
|
|
regain his lost heritage, the birthright which has always been the
|
|
objective and purpose for his being. Essentially, life's purpose is to
|
|
advance one's knowledge of the principle of evolution, to integrate
|
|
these evolutionary principles, using both the material technology and
|
|
the spiritual technology, thus advancing both man and society on an
|
|
upward and intelligent, progressive evolution.</p>
|
|
<p>Dr. Ernest L. Norman is the Cofounder of the Unarius Educational
|
|
Foundation. From 1954 to 1971, with his wife, Ruth Norman, he
|
|
pioneered the teaching of Interdimensional Physics, explaining the
|
|
evolutionary nature of atoms and man, planets and solar systems,
|
|
galaxies and universes. He authored the first twenty texts of the
|
|
curriculum of the Unarius Academy of Science - teachings which explain
|
|
the unified field theory - quantum mechanics, and the present theory
|
|
of Superstrings!</p>
|
|
<p>Dr. Norman as one who has attained Cosmic Consciousness, is an
|
|
example of his teachings. Today, through the efforts of Ruth Norman
|
|
(Uriel) the present Director of the Unarius Academy of Science, the
|
|
curriculum has expanded to over 100 texts, adding immense knowledge to
|
|
the reality of Consciousness and of its continuity after the
|
|
completion of the cycle of physical life (or death).</p>
|
|
<p>The account of Dr. Norman's psychic trip to Mars proves the
|
|
science of fourth dimensional physics - the principle of mental
|
|
attunement. It is hoped that the reader will continue in his desire to
|
|
advance himself as well, to attain those abilities that lie within but
|
|
needs to be called to his attention and developed.</p>
|
|
<p>In 1977, Ruth Norman tuned in psychically to the underground
|
|
cities on planet Mars, in thirty-three separate visions. This book
|
|
titled THE UNDERGROUND CITIES OF MARS is a continuation and
|
|
explanation of the truth about Mars, as it includes the realizations
|
|
and flashbacks presented in the testimonials of persons who remembered
|
|
their own experiences when they contacted the Martian civilization.</p>
|
|
<p>This work is an exciting and telling account of the
|
|
interplanetary contact of Earth and Mars, knowledge which will
|
|
validate the reality of interplanetary travel and of the
|
|
extraterrestrial nature of earth civilizations.

<p>A Word About the Author</p>
|
|
<p>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 weighed over
|
|
twelve pounds!</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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. The Truth
|
|
About Mars</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>During his early teens-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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>On the forehead of the author is a large welt, in a perfect
|
|
raised circle. This becomes activated at times 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.

<p> ______________</p>
|
|
<p>PREFACE</p>
|
|
<p>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 intrenched 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).</p>
|
|
<p>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
|
|
Mt. 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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!"</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.

<p>_____________________________</p>
|
|
<p>CONTACT WITH PLANET MARS
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>During the last twenty-five years or 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 arid general appearance was
|
|
somewhat similar to that of a man of ancient China. After introducing
|
|
himself as Nur El, however, he quickly explained 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 pantiloons. On
|
|
his head is a red hat with a square shaped brim that is turned up on
|
|
four sides.</p>
|
|
<p>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 the 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 volcanos, 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 accidently 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 appeal' and disappear.</p>
|
|
<p>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 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.

<p>___________________________</p>
|
|
<p>The Underground Cities</p>
|
|
<p>of Mars
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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. Huge electronic pumps suck in and filter the thin
|
|
outside air and raise the pressure to about seven pounds per square
|
|
inch. It also strengthens the overhead dome structure by pushing out
|
|
uniformly at all points simultaneously.</p>
|
|
<p>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 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
. . .</p>
|
|
<p>All buildings are supplied with electric power from the central
|
|
power plant. The power is radiated over ultra high frequency beams
|
|
which crisscross 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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. After dinner, the dish-washing
|
|
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, streams of electronic energy of
|
|
some sort does the job. The dishes are made of a plastic like material
|
|
which is repellent to soil.</p>
|
|
<p>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. I Very little of the
|
|
normally expected house cleaning is done in a Martian home; all
|
|
interior surfaces are dirt repellent and, as the air is normally very
|
|
clean and inasmuch as there is no smoking, frying or similar soot
|
|
producers, the homes are very clean and spotless.</p>
|
|
<p>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 displays of horticulture.
|
|
. . .</p>
|
|
<p>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 articles he (or
|
|
she) sold. A quaint system of barter and exchange is generally
|
|
prevalent although some form of script, currency 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 thorofares 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. 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
|
|
Luther Burbank-like process to a point where they require the
|
|
absolute minimum of water.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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. 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.
|
|
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.

<p> ______________________________</p>
|
|
<p> THE MARTIAN - CHINESE LINK
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Martians are much older in soul-evolution than the earthians.
|
|
They originally 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.</p>
|
|
<p>The great space-ships in their intercourse with the planet Mars
|
|
established a series of six colonies, stretching from the lower
|
|
planes of China into the more northern reaches, around what is now
|
|
known as Peking in the northern provinces of China. There was in
|
|
existence at that time descendents of the Aryan race who lived as
|
|
Mongols or Tartars, as they are called in your history books. These
|
|
were mostly very fierce roving bands of nomads, who now roam the
|
|
desert regions of the Gobi Desert. It is with these races of people
|
|
that the original Martian settlers had so much trouble. The people
|
|
from Mars had progressed to the point where they disliked intensely
|
|
to kill their fellow being; and while they had weapons which could
|
|
thoroughly and completely decimate these nomadic tribes, yet they
|
|
refrained from doing so! They relied more upon the evolution of
|
|
time, as would be of such circumstance that these tribes would absorb
|
|
some of the wisdom and knowledge. However, this was not so; in the
|
|
numerous raids which they made upon these settlements, they
|
|
frequently captured both male and female prisoners; and as the
|
|
females bore children to these Mongols and Tartars, the Martian
|
|
colonists became somewhat infused into the racial characteristics of
|
|
these people. However, for the most part, the various dynasties of
|
|
the Chinese Empire can be traced directly back to the Martian line.
|
|
. . .</p>
|
|
<p>Cancer and many other so-called incurable diseases are removed
|
|
or corrected using an advanced electronic healing process. 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. . . . 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 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 overexcite the people of earth.
|
|
Consequently, sex assumes its rightful place in the life of the
|
|
Martians.</p>
|
|
<p>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 Source, and there is a once
|
|
weekly community observance giving thanks to this Source.</p>
|
|
<p>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 our Chinese have derived their ancestor worship
|
|
from this source.</p>
|
|
<p>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 relive a new life among old friends and relatives.
|
|
Many children frequently identify themselves as former loved ones.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>______________________</p>
|
|
<p> Martian Education
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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 a
|
|
radiant energy process. The child was further conditioned against
|
|
such recurrence. There are no public schools.</p>
|
|
<p>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."</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 a 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 facsimile, if not the
|
|
actual golden rule. In other words, do for others first. If a person
|
|
acts selfishly,tor 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 veneration down through the
|
|
ages from their Martian ancestors.
|
|
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.
|
|
. . .
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p> Monorail Transportation
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>It seems that these people do not travel much, as compared to
|
|
our earth people. There is, of course, considerable inner-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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 flute-like 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
. . .</p>
|
|
<p>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 spices and to produce
|
|
artificially, many protein foods. 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.

|
|
<p> The Harmony of Martian Life
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
. . .</p>
|
|
<p>It was explained that the science of interplanetary travel was
|
|
something very difficult for the 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. 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.</p>
|
|
<p>This no doubt sounds fantastic. Nowadays it is only the ignorant
|
|
mam 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 I in our highly specialized, mechanical
|
|
world. The people are becoming robots. They cannot sleep for
|
|
nightmares from fear and insecurity. Their days 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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
. . .
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>_______________________________</p>
|
|
<p>The Supernova Connection
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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 100000 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 repercussions; in fact, anything was possible.
|
|
Because of its great size it would have a 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!</p>
|
|
<p>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 or
|
|
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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 and Pluto 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.
|
|
. . .
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>We all salute you and wish you infinite love, wisdom and peace.

Appendix
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>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 this
|
|
planet is semi-arid wastelands. It is however, incorrect to say
|
|
there is no oxygen there.</p>
|
|
<p>The presence of the green maria, which he calls 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 re-grows the following spring.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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 infra-red light film. It may be that the savants at Mt.
|
|
Palomar would like to explain this.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.)</p>
|
|
<p>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 clone are inhabited?</p>
|
|
<p>Perhaps we should refer to Jesus of Nazareth when he stated
|
|
that, "In my Father's house are many mansions.'</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
<p>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.</p>
