1Prelude
"We are here’ This is Tom’ We come in love and peace’ Greetings, blessings, joy’"This is how many of the transmissions from The Council of Nine begin’ They are transmitted viaTom, their spokesman’ This edition of The Only Planet of Choice has grown out of the need toprepare the original text for translation into other languages’ Also, with the success of theprevious edition it became clear that there was a need for more material from the Nine’ So theoriginal text has been expanded from the archives and new transmissions (given in May 1994)have been added’ To this end it has been necessary to keep the editorial input to a minimum, theNine texts will speak for themselves, for as Tom has said in a transmission in 1991:"The energy of these positive understandings enables lives to be changed’ It is of vitalimportance that this Cosmology is available for humankind’ To give them the opportunity to knowthe truth, for when it is exposed to them it will bring forth that code within, to make them aware’ "So my editorial decision has been to keep a light hand on the wheel’ It is quite possible that wedo not understand all the meanings of all Tom's sentences - but it is also possible that with inner growth, what is unclear today will be shining with clarity tomorrow’ It is this sort of book thatstretches and helps us expand’This book is very different from both Prelude To The Landing On Planet Earth and its first edition’It does not have the narrative style of the former, nor the commentaries of the latter’ It requiresthat the reader simply 'be'’ It is a reflection of the rapidly changing times, of our increasingcapacity to assimilate extraordinary ideas into our lives and act upon them’ Very often Tommakes a statement and then repeats it, with the alteration of just one or two words’ He isstretching our minds and gradually a large concept is fed into our minds in easy, spirallingstages’ This is another way of nudging our coding, allowing us to absorb information which wewill access when it is needed’I would also recommend reading "Briefing," Parts 1 and 2 before settling down to the main text,as that information would be most helpful in understanding the processes involved’ For my part,while working on these transmissions, I have felt them become as a great crystal, reflecting lightfrom all its facets’ And I have been, and still am, elated by the tangible energy emanating fromthese sentences’It must be said that my task would have been far more difficult without the skills of PaldenJenkins, who compiled the transcripts for the first edition’ And Tom also requested that Palden bethanked:"As spokesman for the Nine, I convey from the Council of Nine, our great gratitude and joyfulness for the task that you accomplished’"My thanks also go to Lab Nine Ltd’ for permission to use extracts from Prelude to the Landing onPlanet Earth which includes the extract from Uninvited visitors by Ivan T’ Sanderson’I have left Tom's speech patterns as close to the original as is possible without rendering themuncomfortable to read’ The words are all exactly where they are meant to be, even if that can feel'odd' by our modern standards’ Many of the sentences have several meanings, and each will findtheir own truths’ I have been with these texts for many months now, and have found severallayers of meaning in each paragraph’ He often uses the word 'Yes' at the end of his sentences’
