I am an old man, well past the century mark, and what disposal is made of my work is of little importance to me. I grow weary of life and living, which is good. The fear of death was lost when our scientists showed us how to live until we grew weary of life. But I am digressing-an old man's failing.The Forgotten Planet was not always so named. The name that it once bore had been, as every child knows, stricken from the records, actual and mental, of the Universe. It is well that evil should not be remembered. But in order that this history may be clear in the centuries to come, my record should go back to beginnings.So far as the Universe is concerned, the history of the Forgotten Planet begins with the visit of the first craft ever to span the space between the worlds: the crude, adventuresome Edorn, whose name, as well as the names of the nine Zenians who manned her, occupy the highest places in the roll of honor of the Universe.Ame Baove, the commander and historian of the Edorn, made but brief comment on his stop at the Forgotten Planet. I shall record it in full: "We came to rest upon the surface of this, the fourth of the planets visited during the first trip of the Edorn, eighteen spaces before the height of the sun. We found ourselves surrounded immediately by vast numbers of creatures very different from ourselves, and from their expressions and gestures, we gathered that they were both curious and unfriendly."Careful analysis of the atmosphere proved it to be sufficiently similar to our own to make it possible for us to again stretch our legs outside the rather cramped quarters of the Edorn, and tread the soil of still another world."No sooner had we emerged, however, than we were angrily beset by the people of this unfriendly planet, and rather than do them injury, we retired immediately, and concluded our brief observations through our ports."The topography of this planet is similar to our own, save that there are no mountains, and the flora is highly colored almost without exception, and apparently quite largely parasitical in nature. The people are rather short in stature, with hairless heads and high foreheads. Instead of being round or oval, however, the heads of these people rise to a rounded ridge which runs back from a point between and just above the eyes, nearly to the nape of the neck behind. They give evidence of a fair order of intelligence, but are suspicious and unfriendly. From the number and size of the cities we saw, this planet is evidently thickly populated."We left about sixteen spaces before the height of the sun, and continued towards the fifth and last planet before our return to Zenia."

This prayer book, the prayers of survival, will eradicate all your fears. It will empower you to gain self confidence. Just say a prayer. Prayer is the only combatant force against the secret wars waged against us by the power of darkness and its human agents. The great father of all, whose loving-kindness endures forever, the most gracious and ever merciful one never shuts the door behind us. The Heaven door is widely open for us. The mighty forces who are obedient to the Holy one with the true identity from the Master of Creation with unconditional love are always ready to come to our aid for our rescue in all tribulations. The prayers of survival will be of much help for spiritual growth. They will let you be by thyself, know thyself and you will not need any intermediary between you and your Great father, the Merciful and the most Gracious one. Again, the prayers will assist you to find the authentic path to reach our Creator God without depending on any human being. Man is created authentic. Human beings are God’s noble Creatures. We must bow and shower praises and thanksgiving only to the Great God of Creation. It is a curse to depend on your fellow human being. The power and the key to your noblest destiny is in your own hands. Just live courageously to explore it. It is your birth’s right. It is not far away from you. You possess it. It is a matter of discovering yourself within the Great Universal Light. And Nature will dance with you. You will hear when Nature talks to you. The mysteries of Nature will be unveiled to you. Your days will be of surprises and miracles. Definitely, the living Hell into which you are condemned will be transformed into, a great and an absolute paradise with perfect peace and everlasting prosperity. May the Ultimate Source of the Power of Creation guide and endow us with Wisdom to liberate ourselves from mental slavery. To enable us know ourselves, be divine, and to be permanent dwellers and dancers in the Great Universal Light. Amen-Amen. Amen
