Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spirit writings
Yes, madame, I was greatly surprised, I may say overwhelmed, when upon
regaining full consciousness I found the spirit world so unlike all
my preconceived notions, but as real, as substantial, as the old red
sandstone which had so perplexed and upset all my ideas concerning the
creation of our world. I had been taught and did believe that in six
days God created the heavens and the earth, and all that was therein,
but geology told another story. It related that the Earth had not been
created, but that through ages and ages it had evolved from cosmic
matter into a measurable world, which through other ages had become
fitted for the abode of myriad life forms. As a thoroughly orthodox
believer my very Soul revolted against these evidences of nature, and
finally under blows of a small hammer upon a leaf of God's revelation
in stone my reason reeled, and I---- But no more retrospection.
Friends, I am at your service, and shall be happy if in the least I may
add to your profit or your pleasure.
Ah, this is the geological department which is very complete, very
comprehensive. What a vast apartment and so beautifully arranged and
kept. Madame, observe those supporting columns; are they not in style
nearly Corinthian? To you it may appear a somewhat startling fact,
but when understood it is not. The so-termed Primary colors are an
expression of a universal natural law, and form is equally so. As
water, in freezing, inevitably forms certain crystallized shapes, so
in the human mind, inevitably, form assumes certain curves, lines and
dimensions. These friends will bear witness that not only on Ento and
Earth, but on other inhabited planets we have found the Arch, with its
Keystone, and columns of the various orders employed in architecture
here and on our Planet.
You observe that this great apartment is divided into several
departments. In this one is a fine collection of fossils which, for
lack of time, we must pass by. De L'Ester says that we shall only
glance at this wonderfully complete display of gems which ever are
dear to the heart of a woman. Now here----
De L'Ester--Friends, for a little while we will defer the examination
of the gems. Nearby an Instructor is addressing a Class of students who
may afford us opportunity for an experiment.
