Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spirit writings
Another question? Certainly, but I must make a brief reply. Throughout
the animal and vegetable kingdoms of all inhabited Planets structural
divergences ever have marked the lines of evolution, _the human animal
alone excepted_. True, the human animal evolves through all the
gradations of animal existence, but unlike other animals, he diverges
neither to the right nor to the left. _His specific, inherent energy
impelling him ever onward, ever upward and straight ahead._ Man is the
culmination not only of forces but of qualities which set him apart
from all other physical existences. _He is the apex of intelligent
direction, the final, expression of God in form, not only on Mars and
Earth, but in the human everywhere._
We will now proceed, observing as we move onward whatever may be
instructive or interesting. Embowered in yonder grove of magnificent
trees is a stately dwelling. We will approach it more nearly, we even
may enter it, for I doubt not, madame, we might find in it much that
to you would be new and of interest. From its dimensions and imposing
style we may conclude that it is the home of persons of wealth and
distinction. For a little we will pause under the shade of these great
trees, which impart a sense of restfulness.
Medium--You speak of a "sense of restfulness." May I ask do spirits,
like mortals, experience a sense of fatigue?
De L'Ester--What I mean by a sense of restfulness is a state of
tranquillity, through which a Spirit comes into harmonious relations
with its surroundings. _Spirits do not become wearied as expressed
by the word fatigue_, but upon entering the physical plane, Spirits,
to a certain extent, take on the conditions with which they come in
contact, and they experience what may be termed _a sense of unrest or
inharmony_, and in exact proportion to the progress attained by Spirits
is this sense of unrest accentuated. _Hence, Spirits of the higher
spirit realms seldom enter the physical plane._ Have I made the matter
clear to your comprehension?
Medium--Perfectly so.
De L'Ester--We now will look at this massive and really fine structure.
As it is a good example of the many imposing residences to be found
throughout this North temperate region, it shall serve as an object
lesson for you, madame, and I shall take upon myself a description of
its exterior.
A large structure of gray stone, extending on either side of a central
entrance for at least forty feet. The entrance, which is wide and
lofty, is approached by a fine flight of stone steps, leading easily
up to it. Artistic and elaborate sculpture frames in the doorway,
and on either side of the entrance are sculptured life-size forms
in bas-relief. Their upturned eyes and upreaching hands lead one to
conclude that they represent a guardian God and Goddess.
