Here is Thomas Jefferson's classic abridgment of the Bible, in which Jefferson sculpted the words and ideas of Christ into a resounding moral philosophy. On and off for 17 years (including his term in the White House), Jefferson cut and pasted the philosophy of Jesus Christ, as recorded in Scripture, into one compact statement. He omitted any references to the virgin birth, miraculous healings, demonic possession, or supernatural events of any kind. His aim was to distinguish the moral philosophy of Christ from the religion that was later created around Christ.

When the noted thinker, author, and philanthropist, Valiant Thor, dictated this book almost a century ago, he was just settling into his role as commander of the Venusian forces on Earth. Like most Venusians, Thor follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, Tecumseh, Krishna, and Buddha, which generally state that all men are created equal in God’s sight, and are loved equally by God. Today, most everyone has heard about Vril, so Thor is unabashed in stating that this book is about the art of rejuvenating human beings. Vril is about living life to the fullest, and loving to the fullest.
