Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spirit writings
Gentola--Yes, that is so. I am wondering where the first spirits ever
embodied came from.
Humboldt--My dear madame, when we shall have learned when the first
world came into existence, we also may learn where the first embodied
spirits came from. Concerning these propositions, my ignorance compels
silence. On what authority do I make the statement relating to the
spiritualization of the human animal? Upon such authority or proofs
as I have accumulated through visiting worlds in various stages of
evolvement. Worlds yet too young to receive in their waters the first
influx of life germs. Worlds in whose tepid waters, protoplasmic cells,
the wombs containing the germs of all life forms are teeming. Worlds
which have evolved vegetable and animal forms so huge, so grotesque
as to be appalling. Worlds on which the human animal is on the verge
of becoming spiritualized. Worlds where having become a spiritualized
conscious being, man is looking about him in fear and amazement.
Worlds where man has evolved varying degrees of civilization, and yet
other worlds, where the peoples, compared with those of Ento or Earth,
are as gods.
Gentola--You will pardon me, sir, if my question may have seemed to
involve a doubt as to the correctness of your statements. No such
thought was in my mind. On the contrary, I so implicitly believe what
you have said, that I realize that I am as an atom of a boundless
universe.
Bruno--But relatively the atom is as great as the universe. You have
been told that an atom is a universe in embryo, for in it are all
possible qualities, and in it are all the activities of Infinite
Intelligent Energy. So were you no greater than an atom, you yet would
be a necessary factor of Infinity.
Gentola--I do not question the truth of your statement, which humbles
rather than exalts my estimate of my own personality.
Bruno--He, who was the divinest man of any of Earth's saviors,
counselled his disciples to be as humble as little children, that thus
they might be great in the Kingdom of Heaven, and you will learn that
the further you progress in an understanding of the Infinity of God,
Who is the all, and in all the more will you desire to humbly adore the
Divine Spirit of the atom and the universe.
Gentola--I realize that I know so little. That I only am approaching
the threshold of the temple of knowledge. You, on the spirit side,
better than I, comprehend the limitations of mortals, so you will
not wonder that I grow impatient, because of my slow progress in a
spiritual direction; but with you, dear friends, to aid and instruct me
I shall hope to grow in grace and in a knowledge of the truth.
