MYSTERION Fabulous mentalist Mysterion offers glimpses into the inner workings of his own mind.....

VENUS: Who is your greatest influence in life? MYSTERION: "I would honestly have to say my greatest influence in life overall would have to be the melting pot of Saturday morning entertainment I subjected myself to as a child. A clockwork orange type of brainwashing must have occurred because my ability to create is strongly linked to pro wrestling characters, superheroes and commercial catch phrases. This may not be the "best" kind of influence, but it was definitely the strongest." VENUS: What is your most effective relaxation technique? MYSTERION: "Relaxation for me is the ultimate impossibility. The only way I can get to relax is by knowing that I've completed my work for the day and all the little things that pop up around the castle. The only way I can get to relax is by knowing that I've completed my work for the day and all the little things that pop up around the castle." VENUS: Who are your Top 5 Sexy Human Beings?

DIGITAL GEIST One half of Digital Geist offers an introduction to the cutting edge in avante garde of electronica....... DIGITAL GEIST

VENUS: Where do you foresee the future of music leading to? ALEX: "For the most part music turning into multimedia with a stress on the live element. You simply cannot be a success in any genre without having a very spectacular presentation of what you intend to put across. When people hear a disc, the live version has to be to the tenth power, including every aesthetic of what you intended, every sense, every sight and sound and touch and smell, etc. Every good piece of artwork should incorporate these aspects, and music should not be segregated from that premise. VENUS: What are your main cultural influences? ALEX: "As far as music goes you can count Front 242, Sasha and David Bowie among the frontrunners for influences upon Digital Geist. Underworld of course should be on the list as well......As far as visual arts go, there's always Stelarc, Victor Horte and others - mainly influenced by Art Noveau because while it's a throwback to nature it's also made by man. Art imitates life I suppose. VENUS: Who are your top 5 Sexy Human beings? ALEX: "My choices are all female. Is that wrong??? :) Of course at the top of my personal list is my fiancee Marta, but choosing from the Hollywood elite I would pick: 5. Juliette Binoche - the original La Femme Nikita! 4. Natalie Portman 3. Claire Danes 2. Jill Hennessey 1. Audrey Hepburn Thank you Alex!

PATRICK RHEIN, Internationally acclaimed speaker and certified co-active coach from Futuresources, double-plus Euro-stylish...... Futuresources

VENUS: What is your view on Love? PATRICK: "Love for me is the highest form of energy and a spiritual connection to oneself and the rest of the Universe. The more love we develop within and channel out, the more authenticity and pure positive energy from our true self is sent out. Love can be expressed in everything we do or think. The more we express it, the more we vibrate with the highest form of spirituality. It becomes a totally spiritual act. Love can be expressed on different levels and in different strengths. The essence is what one gives out in terms of giving, respecting, caring, sharing, and having compassion and empathy, whether for a partner, a collegue, an animal, a tree or any form of energy. It works and helps to heal any living matter. Most important is to love intensely." VENUS: What is your view on Sex? PATRICK: "Sex for me is the greatest way to connect with the dimensions of our being that we are not even aware of. It is the expression of love and can be expressed in any way we want, whether traditional or totally unconventional is unimportant. What is important is the pleasure that we get out of it, because pleasure is what gives us the ultimate satisfaction in being alive. It is indeed a very spiritual act when we are in the deepest moments of pleasure and using all of our 6 senses.....Sensuality, voluptuousness, passion, letting go towards an unknown frontier will enhance all the different dimensions of incredible experience and sensations." VENUS: What is your view on the Future? PATRICK: "I have hope for the future. The future is what WE are going to make out of it. It's up to each one of us to participate towards achieving an increase of consciousness in our actions and thoughts. Love being one of the greatest tools to be able to reach that. The future is in OUR hands, so let's place the right action in the right place. Thank you, Dr. Venus, for contributing to it. Why could we not have paradise on Earth? A society built on sharing and contributing to the well-being of individuals and nations, in respect and love of differences. It is possible and it starts right here, right now!" VENUS: Wow.......Thank you, Patrick!

PART II of RAEL INTERVIEW

RAEL, Leader of The Raelian Movement, Author of "Welcome Our Fathers From Space", notable alien abductee, and charming bon vivant.......Rael is for Real! WWW.RAEL.ORG

VENUS: Your Holiness, thank you once again for gracing my humble enterprise with your wisdom.......... What is going on in Area 51? Why so much armed security? RAEL: I don’t have any specific information on this subject. I do however believe that we should always be very cautious when the military is involved. If there is a conspiracy, it is not necessarily the one we think it is. The military is always looking for new enemies to justify their existence and salary to feed fear in our society. On the other hand, if the 1947 Roswell crash really happened, maybe the real experiment going on is not us experimenting on what we found but it could be the experiment of an advanced race of beings who wanted to see how we would react and where we were in our own advancement as a planet. VENUS: How do you feel about the current geo-political climate (Iraq war / terrorism)? RAEL: Once again, the current situation demonstrates that violence is never the right answer. Only non-violence, love and truly humanitarian leaders such as Gandhi can bring peace. Despite all the violence, it is very encouraging to see this huge peace movement worldwide, which already produced results by removing some pro-war leaders from power. VENUS: How long do you expect Western civilization to last (compare with Aztecs, Mayas, Romans)? RAEL: I am not sure we should call them “civilizations”. Civilization should be about civilians. All the so-called “civilizations” have only been based on military power and brutal force so far. The real civilization has yet to be born, and can only be a “human” civilization encompassing all human beings, not based on a country or a particular culture. It is the aim of the Raelian Movement to contribute to the creation of such a civilization. This process is actually the “Elohimization” of our humanity, a transformation into a society ruled by wisdom and science like the one the Elohim have developed on their own planet. VENUS: Thank you, Your Holiness!!! PART I of RAEL interview......... VENUS: Your Holiness, thank you for sharing your thoughts with a peon such as I.......What is your view on Love? RAEL: This is a good question, as love is why we exist. Love is the truest manifestation of consciousness. As you know, love can heal anything. Love is the thing this planet needs the most. Only thru love can we be happy and only thru love can humanity ensure its future, as if we are not happy as individuals, we cannot really bring love to others.. If Bush and the leaders of the world reacted out of love as they should if they believe what they say they do, believing in a God, then there would be no wars. Look at Ghandi. He is the best example of this. Without raising one finger, he beat the world's largest military. Learning to love one's self is a key part of Raelian teachings. By discovering ourselves, by loving ourselves, we cannot keep from giving love to others. But this world is not built on loving one's self yet. We are taught that loving one's self is to be egotistical. This is 100% wrong! Since we all were built for love, out of love, we look for love. If we don't give love to ourselves, we look for love from others. It is precisely then that we become egotistical, and egoists cannot truly give love. It's the biggest reason to come to the Raelian seminars. VENUS: What is your view on Sex? RAEL: Sex is pleasure and all pleasure is good. Again, human beings are created for pleasure. It's very dangerous for one to think like most people do in this country - that sex is bad, dirty, something to hide. There are millions who have a very unhealthy image in their minds about sex. They think that a God created us out of love but to enjoy sex goes against God's wish! How could something so nice be put in front of us like a candy and for god to tell us "NO! don't touch!". This is really a distorted view that keeps people from living happy lives. ALL pleasure is good as it helps to open our mind. We are here for pleasure! Life IS pleasure! More proof of this is the pedophile Catholic priests. When one supresses sexuality to the point where these poor people do, it will come out eventually in perverse ways. VENUS: What is your view on the Future? RAEL: The future will be wonderful ! The future is science and spirituality - together as they should have always been. And the future will in fact only exist for humanity if we can raise our level of spirituality constantly to match our level of technology. The future holds unimaginable treasures for humanity. No disease, no hunger, no suffering at all because science can remedy everything. Science can explain everything from the taste of different foods to explaining love itself, as love is a product of science! Science will prove there is no soul and that we are mind and body. Science will make it possible to live the wildest dream of humanity - the dream of paradise. VENUS:A billion thank you's, Your Holiness!!!
