Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spirit writings
While we have been conversing I have been watching Inidor[a:] and the
kneeling girl and it seems strange that she does not perceive his
presence, he who appears so real, so substantial. As he gently touches
her hair, she thinks the breeze is toying with it, and with her shapely
hand she smooths its rippling waves. He kisses her forehead over which
flossy curls are straying; again she fancies that the breeze is playing
with her tresses, and somewhat impatiently she tucks them under her
jewelled fillet. Now she rises to her feet, raises her hands toward
the golden Sun crowning the altar and silently, but with an expression
of intense devotion on her lovely face, bows low, murmuring, "Oirah,
oirah, oirah," and now with Inidor[a:] by her side, quietly, serenely
she passes from the Istoir[a:]. What a strange scene, but in keeping
with all these strange experiences.
De L'Ester, all my preconceived ideas relating to spirits are
vanishing. What were my preconceived ideas? I scarcely can say, but
certainly I have not conceived it possible that such a scene as the one
we have witnessed could occur. Like other mortals, in a sense, I have
regarded Spirits as superhuman, and I confess that it is something of
a shock to realize that you are as human as myself. Then again, as I
believe that you would not mislead me, I am constrained to accept your
declaration that Re-embodiment is a fact, and in my mind the question
arises, why does not the Infinite Potentiality create humans so perfect
as to preclude the necessity of their experiencing the many trials and
sorrows incident to repeated Embodiments?
De L'Ester--Why the Infinite Duality does this, or does not do that,
only the Infinite can reveal, but this we do know, that as Spirits in
or out of the mortal body through high endeavor and loving service for
others unfold their infolded attributes they _grow_ into a _clearer
realization_ that whatever really is is right, and that in the Universe
there is but one Principle which is wholly good, hence, logically,
there can be no evil, and that so termed evil is a manifestation of
unevolvement, which inevitably must yield to the divinity inherent in
all that is real.
As to Spirits, the only difference between those in and those out of
mortal bodies is the change in their environments. So termed death is
the casting off of a coarse garment for one of finer texture, and a
subsequent removal from one to another condition of existence, which in
no way changes the higher emotions.
