Journeys to the Planet Mars; or, Our Mission to Ento
Weiss, Sara
Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spirit writings
Yes, we are informed as to all important affairs of Earth, and we are
aware that daring minds contemplate the possibility of establishing
communication between Earth and Ento. Altogether a futile idea, as you
now must perceive. Why, the Entoans do not even dream of the existence
of a world other than their own. Inidor[a:], is not this true?
Inidora--Quite true. Ento's Sacred Writings, which are believed to be
infallible, make no mention of Andûman[a:] having created any other
world than Ento, but historians have written that antecedent to the
establishment of Ento's Religion there was a powerful nation south of
the equator which was in a very advanced state of civilization. This
nation was known as the Avalano nation. Zēnon Avados, one of their
learned men, who at this time is a Teacher in one of our Spirit
Realms, declares that he and other scientists of his time demonstrated
to their entire satisfaction that Ento was but one of many similar
worlds. They also made other astronomical discoveries, all of which
they made known to the people. Unfortunately, this nation grew very
rich and consequently very corrupt, and an inevitable decadence came
upon them. Their civilization lapsed into chaotic conditions, their
learned ones passed away, and thus to the Entoans a knowledge of facts
was lost, which, when again presented, they will be prepared to accept.
Bruno--Already you have learned that in many directions Ento's
scientific discoveries equal or surpass those of our own Planet. That
art, in its various expressions, has attained surpassing excellence.
That the luxuries and refinements of living are within the reach of
all. That constant and untiring effort is being put forth to elevate
the entire peoples. And that want and crime are so nearly minimized as
to seldom demand attention. Thus the soil is prepared to receive the
seed which soon will be sowed, and which surely will yield a bounteous
harvest. Ah, the demonstration is concluded and the Instructor is about
to address the class.
