In the city and in the homes they dress with gorgeous, gown-like
effects but very light, almost transparent. The people themselves are
almost that.
They are all remarkable singers, voices like we have never heard
anywhere and they sing a lot. The most beautiful part of it is that
when they sing the whole nature seems to join them, for here in the
park right now there must be five thousand voices singing for us and
all the birds are in on it too, just as if they were trained.
There seems to be about six different races of people on this planet
but we are told that there are twelve. No race predominates over the
other. The forms, you might say, are a perfect geometrical pattern. The
complexion of the white people is not the kind of dirty white we have
on Earth, but pure white with a rose cast to it, like on their cheeks,
just as if they were painted. Most of the white people have light sandy
hair, very fine at that and all seem to be wavy.
One of the other races is somewhat like our complexion, a little darker
than the real whites are. On Earth we would call it a ruddy complexion.
Then there is a brown race. This brown race is slightly shorter in
height than the whites and their coloring is almost of a bronze color.
There is another race we see around here. These people are reddish
color, almost copper, tall, firmly built.
And we are told that up in the southern part there are some whites but
mostly they are darker people, almost black, and that their eyes slant
a little, while the eyes of the people here are very much like our own.
From what we have seen thus far on Mars and here, as well as on the
Moon, it seems that the geometrical pattern of the human form is
universal, the only variations is in height, taller or shorter. Birds
and animals too are pretty much of a universal pattern. These vary in
color and size sometimes quite a bit from those on Earth.
Right here on Venus they seem to have more singing birds than we have
on Earth or than we have seen anywhere else so far.
We asked if there are any wild beasts of any kind?
They ask, "what do you mean, primitive animals?" And then replied that
there were many of them.
So we asked if they ever harm anybody?
They said, "no, there has never been anyone harmed by anything yet."
They added that a Divine creation harms nothing if it is not ignored.
Then we asked if they ever do any hunting or anything like that?
They didn't know what that was even, that is they didn't know what the
word meant, but they did get our thought and said, "by hunting you mean
killing. We don't do such things here. What we must eat we get and no
more, but every time we do, we thank the Creator for the gift in the
form it gives itself unto us."
