Gentola--How marvellous this all is. This swiftly moving Transport,
like a great bird flying through the air, and yonder wonderful System
of Irrigation and Waterways on which vessels great and small are
passing in all directions. At night, when those great light towers
illumine cities, towns and country, the scene must be enchanting. Two
features of Ento strike me forcibly. One is the universally apparent
prosperity of its peoples, the other is the architecture of cities,
towns and country places. Even the country houses are picturesque
and very pretty. I do not recall that I have seen one squalid, mean
dwelling. I shall not soon forget the first time I stood in the Court
of Honor of the White City of our World's Fair. It looked so familiar,
so like some scenes that some time, somewhere, I had beheld, that a
sense of bewilderment came over me, and for a time I thought that I
must have dreamed of some similar scene. Then you, De L'Ester, spoke
to me, and I recalled that on Ento I had beheld structures and scenes
similar to, but far more beautiful than those presented by the Court of
Honor. No, I do not as distinctly remember these Ento experiences as I
remember some dreams which really sometimes come true.
Bruno--By some persons dreams are regarded as the reflex of incidents
and impressions of waking hours, and frequently they are the result of
more or less related and distorted images, which from time to time are
impressed upon the Animal Soul, or so termed objective consciousness.
But there are dreams and dreams. A genius, so called, is a Sensitive
whose waking dreams are the conceptions of exalted Spirit minds,
reflected or projected upon his or her aura, which, like a mirror,
receives the impression and in turn reflects it upon the brain of the
Sensitive. To the great poet Sensitive come the words and rhythm of
songs which stir the hearts of the world. To the great sculptor comes a
waking dream of beauty, and from marble he releases a form so flawless
that through centuries it commands the adoring admiration of artistic
souls. To the great painter comes a conception of enchanting scenes
or of forms and faces whose witchery enthralls all beholders. To the
great architect, the true builder, come ideals so exalted that neither
human intelligence or human hands have yet executed them. Ask the great
architect and builder of your time, if he has even once succeeded in
embodying his highest ideal of his art, and I do not hesitate in saying
that he will answer no, no.
Be assured that all so called geniuses are Sensitives, whose births
were not of yesterday, for to spirit there is neither beginning or
ending.
