Journeys to the Planet Mars; or, Our Mission to Ento

Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spirit writings
De L'Ester--Courage, Gentol[a:], remember that ever the stream must
flow onward to the sea. So if in your present incarnation you cannot
attain to loftiest heights the law of eternal progress will oblige
you to unfold the divinity within you. Neither you nor we will ever
find a halting place on this endless journey, which is ever onward,
ever upward toward the unattainable perfection of Infinite Spirit,
Intelligence, Energy and Love.
But we have grown too serious, and will talk of lighter matters. With
curiosity and amusement we regarded your perplexity, upon viewing for
the first time the beautiful white city. You were quite bewildered by
the oddly familiar appearance of the architecture, decorative, and
other features of the buildings, bridges, statuary, and so on. _Le tout
ensemble_ reminded you of scenes you could not at once localize.
Gentola--Yes, really I was for the moment rather bewildered. I thought
that I must have dreamed of a similar scene, then it came to me that on
Ento I had beheld that of which the White City reminded me. Did not you
all think it beautiful?
De L'Ester--Very, and we now promise you that some day we will show you
a greater and far more beautiful White City, than that ephemeral one on
the shore of Lake Michigan.
Gentola--I shall try to remember your promise. May I ask where are
Inidor[a:] and Genessano?
De L'Ester--Since your last visit to Ento a dread catastrophe has
occurred, and they and other Ento spirits have been, and yet are
engaged in aiding sufferers, both in and out of the physical body. They
were to meet us here, and we expect them at any moment.
To-day is the 29th of October, 1893. When will it suit your convenience
to accompany us to Ento? We hope that you may name an early day.
Gentola--You cannot be more anxious than am I to resume our journeys.
On November 1st I shall be ready. Ah, here are Inidor[a:] and
Genessano. You are most welcome. I have been inquiring about you, and
with regret have learned that some calamity has befallen Ento.
Inidora--I can say for my brother and myself that we are delighted to
again meet you, and doubly glad that soon you with our Band will resume
the duties of our mission to our sorrowful people. Yes, truly, a dread
calamity has befallen the inhabitants of a densely populated region
in a locality, corresponding, De L'Ester says, to about the latitude
and longitude of Berlin, in Germany. It is regrettable that fear of
ridicule, in case of mistakes, renders you too positive to be able to
record some scientific matters. Believe that I do not mean to chide
you. You do your best, and we are satisfied with your efforts.
