We are here to learn unity in diversity: to accept and trust that every individual has the innate ability to know what is right for himself or herself. The Supreme Being for this solar ring is also called The Spirit of Oneness. (Because this great being is androgynous, I will use the pronoun “it” when referring to the Supreme Being.) It was chosen as Supreme Being not only because of its spiritual vastness and Light, but also because the very nature of its essence is what we are here to become. The Spirit of Oneness holds the divine capacity of every individual in our solar ring to transcend duality, heal the male/female split, and unite with the higher consciousness of God/Goddess/All That Is. This is the ultimate goal of existence. By being offered opportunities throughout our lives to experience every alternative to Oneness, we are ultimately led home. Through the sequential evolution of third-dimensional lifetimes and spiritual growth, we gain empirical wisdom. When we finally realize we cannot do it all alone, we are humbled. Then we reach out to our guides, angels, and Ascended Masters. After a time, our own higher-dimensional aspects conjoin with our human selves, and we choose to surrender our individual wills to divine will. Divine will is truly nothing more than the will of your own future Ascended Master self that has become one with God/Goddess/All That Is. When you surrender to divine will, you surrender to the truth of your own highest destiny. Ego identity is passé, or becoming so, at this stage. The book you hold in your hands is about individual and collective spiritual evolution. It is about the movement along the stepping stones of life and lifetimes toward Oneness. It is about compassion and non-judgment of yourself and everyone else along the way. And it is about how each person’s life is a microcosm of some greater myth within the Divine Plan. 

Are you a Venusian archetype who obsesses on your own body’s sex appeal and that of others? Are you an artisan whose entire sense of self-esteem is wrapped up in your art form? Or is your tendency more Martian? Do you still try to control others, or play the victim and give your power away? Is your sexuality based on lust and dominance/submission roles? Or are you a Maldekian archetype? Do you distrust everyone, even yourself? Do you fail to make good, discerning choices? Are you subject to blind faith, competitiveness, or shame?

These are a few of the basic tendencies that we humans have derived from these planets which, each for a time, housed third-dimensional life. And yet, in each of these planetary civilizations, there were those who became spiritually awakened, enlightened, and ascended. Each planet also developed its own lower-astral planes, which were filled with negative thought-forms, denied

ghostlike aspects of the people who lived there, and parasitic entities—just like we have on Earth now. So what does knowing about them have to offer you now? The answer is: a macrocosmic view and a microcosmic one simultaneously. The broader view pertains to our own pre-Earth history, and the development of the karmic patterns within this solar ring. As you explore the lives and cultures on these other planets, including their growth and achievements, as well as their seeming failures, you begin to witness the sources and patterns that brought about their successes as well as their declines. These patterns are intricately interwoven into your own psyche. Whether you are dominantly a Venusian-, Martian-, or Maldekian-type personality, you have traces of all of them. They are the most immediate heavenly bodies within our solar ring. The same sacred Sun shines upon us all, and is reflected back to each of the planets within our solar ring from the others. Those reflections of light travel in refracted rays to Earth from all of the other local planets. And Earth reflects back to these planets the successes and declines of her own inhabitants. In other

words, “everything affects everything.” Every thought, action, and “ah-ha” impacts not only everyone on Earth, but everyone and everything throughout our solar ring and beyond. Our solar ring most directly impulses—and is impulsed by—the Pleiades, Sirius, Orion, and on and on.

Therefore, from the standpoint of the big picture, we are simply individual players living out the greater myths that unite us. From the microcosmic viewpoint, Earth and our solar ring are the playground for the gods and goddesses, as humans have called them throughout time. The paradigms and predispositions of all aspects of all beings, lower and higher, impact us all the time. We are the divining rods for higher consciousness. We are the ones who were split apart from the higher-dimensional realms for the very purpose of giving our own Higher Selves the opportunity to experience linear time and space. When we think of ourselves as puppets to higher puppet-masters, we become angry, rebellious, disillusioned, hopeless, revengeful, and ego-identified. When we think of ourselves as the sparks of consciousness emanated from our Higher Selves into the creation of

our souls, then we realize, as third-dimensional emanations, we may not have chosen to be human beings with souls. But it is good to realize that at the time of your own creation, the spark with which you normally identify was still part of a greater whole self. And that greater whole self did choose to send part of its own self to be a soul. That creation came about through a tantric-like melding with

another; and from that union, your soul was conceived and later born. But you are indeed a part of that greater whole self who chose to incarnate at the soul level. There are no victims of Creation here. 

The Divine Plan was always for each of us to learn through experience, to awaken, to love and care deeply for one another and all of Creation, to transcend all beliefs in the supposed limitations of the physical plane, become enlightened, blend completely with our higher-dimensional selves, ground higher consciousness and Oneness into all dimensions, and then to ascend. Eventually all of our experiences, understandings, and attainments become integrated into our united whole selves.

So, microcosmically speaking, this solar ring that houses the Sun, Earth, Mars, Venus, and all of its other planets is a melting pot for the Milky Way and other galaxies. There are beings here from all over existence at this time. Life in this solar ring is the greatest experiment of unity in diversity that has ever occurred. If you could see beyond these earthly costumes we call bodies to the origins of

our true selves, you would see something akin to a bar scene in Star Trek or Star Wars. Every imaginable type of being from all over the galaxies has come here to experience cohabitation, resolution of differences, and a final grand Harmonic Convergence in which win/win is the only acceptable motive and outcome for all action. Whether these beings hang out in human bodies, fourth- and fifth-dimensional planes of Light and Dark, subterranean cities of Light and Dark, or in the subastral planes, we are all in this together. 

The stories of Venus, Mars, and Maldek—and their culmination here on Earth—will mostly emphasize the human beings who lived or live on these planets and their perspectives of reality. As you move lightly across the stepping stones of each colony, civilization, and planet, remember that each one reveals a little more of your own psyche, whether through experience or heritage. Allow the stories in this book to move you, to help you feel more deeply the roots of your own myth, and to understand compassionately how and why we sometimes appear to devolve in the overall process of spiritual evolution. As you find these beings more and more endearing, as you react to them, forgive them, and love them again, you do so for yourself and for your fellow humanity as well. As you are willing to recognize the ego traps into which you still get caught, and choose to make those areas different in your life, you, as

a microcosm, impulse the macrocosm with integrity and spiritual attainment. You create a map for others to follow. Simultaneously, your sense of your true self is restored as you acknowledge those behaviors and attitudes that are not inherent to your own God/Goddess nature, or your Divine Essence. If you have already transcended many of the ego vices and traps, then there is a deeper

learning to be attained: the lessons of compassion, mastery, and enlightenment. These may appear subtler than the grosser lessons of ego. Yet the snowy white lotus emerges from the mud; or as Buddhists chant, “Na-me ho renge kyo.”

Most of this book is channeled by Ra, a representative of the Pleiadian Archangelic Tribes of the Light, who are members of the Pleiadian Emissaries of Light. Those of you who have read The Pleiadian Workbook are familiar with Ra and these Pleiadian groups. For the rest, I will give a brief description of who they are and why they are here assisting Earth beings at this time.

Earth and our entire solar ring orbit the central sun of the Pleiades, Alcyone. Our Sun is the eighth star of the Pleiades. As the furthest removed solar ring of the Pleiadian cluster, we are also the last to become a spirituality-based group of beings. The Pleiadian Emissaries of Light comprise a large group of highly spiritually evolved beings who are fifth- and sixth-dimensional guardians of our

solar ring. They have played a key role in the lives, cultures, and spiritual development of every planet and being in our solar ring, teaching everything from beginning-level to advanced healing and spiritual growth processes to beings on each of the third-dimensional planets discussed in this book.
