1995). On the chosen planet, one assumes the
physical form of its inhabitants. That means
that on Venus one becomes a winged humanoid
that gives off light and color as it fli e s .
Merbeings live on Neptune, and on Ur a n u s
one finds hairy primates with the features of
both human beings and the great apes. Ma r s
has two advanced insect races, one of ants, the
other of praying mantises. Jupiter houses
giant, intelligent reptilian forms. Each species
got its Light Intelligence from a group of traveling
extraterrestrials called the Watchers who
monitor planets looking for species of exc e ptional
promise. As Earth was being deve l o p e d ,
the inhabitants of other planets we re asked to
contribute re p re s e n t a t i ves, thus fairies, mermen
and mermaids, Bi gf o o t / Sasquatch, insects,
and dinosaurs. Ex p l o rers and re f u g e e s
f rom star wars live on the other planets. Ev idence
of the presence of neighboring extraterrestrials
can be found in archaeological discoveries
and ancient myths. Each group tended to
concentrate its efforts in a particular re g i o n ,
for example Ma rtians in the Middle East, Ur anians
in Mexico, and Plutonians in China.
Earth and other planets have undergone
much turbulence, much of it caused by the
tenth planet, Phoenix. “This huge planet’s
three thousand plus year orbit is at right angles
to the plane of all the other planets’ orbits,”
Korsholm explains (Korsholm, 1995),
and when the other planets are on the same
side of the sun as it, its powerful magnetic
force field causes havoc on the surfaces of
those worlds, both destroying and creating.
The Planetary Council must always monitor
the location and effects of Phoenix. Its members
also deal with the periodic arrival of
groups from other solar systems. Some are
highly evolved and benign, others less developed
and belligerent.
According to Korsholm, the members of
the Planetary Council are: Horus, representing
the sun, coordinates the council’s work
with that of higher space intelligences and
Christ councils. Hermes (Mercury) is in
charge of communication through space.
Adonis (Venus) guides the evolution of love

and beauty. Enoch (Earth) oversees prophecy.
Croesus (Mars) is responsible for the coordination
of council activities with the dictates of
the Ascended Masters in the Brotherhood of
Light. Athena (the asteroid belt, formerly the
planet Maldek) defends truth and justice. Jove
(Jupiter) balances magnetic fields. Zoroaster
(Saturn) monitors order, structure, and destiny.
Quetzalcoatal (Uranus) leads religious
and philosophical change. Merlin (Neptune)
directs scientific discovery. Lao-Tzu (Pluto)
offers objective, detached wisdom, and Apollo
(Phoenix) generates change. All of these individuals
figure in earthly mythology and (in
the case of Lao-Tzu, the founder of Taoism)
history.

Portla
Portla is best remembered as the extraterrestrial
who in a July 18, 1952, channeling with
George W. Van Tassel introduced Ashtar, the
most ubiquitous and beloved of New Age beings.
The psychic message was, “Approaching
your solar system is a ventla [spaceship] with
our chief aboard, commander of the station
Schare in charge of the first four sectors. . . .
We are waiting here at 72,000 miles above
you to welcome our chief, who will be entering
this solar system for the first time” (Van
Tassel, 1952). The chief was Ashtar.
