De L'Ester--Time and opportunity permitting, I always am pleased to reply to your questions. As both are limited I must reply briefly. _Spirits, while yet in the physical body, in a sense earn their homes_, or places, they must occupy on our side of life, and also in a sense they have a _choice_ as to the place of their abode, but the _choice_ must be made while on the physical plane. As you have learned, spirits are entities, individualized personalities, requiring homes, associations and pursuits. According as life on the physical plane has been elevated, pure, loving, true, or the reverse, so are spirit homes and pursuits beautiful and supremely enjoyable, or lamentably wretched. All newly-freed spirits gravitate to the sphere and condition for which their degree of evolvement has fitted them, there to remain until they have progressed to a more exalted state of being. Do all spirits progress? Most assuredly. Evolution is not confined to the physical plane. Progress, everywhere, is continuous. Yes, spirits, who through countless trials and experiences have _earned_ the exalted position of teachers, lovingly, patiently labor to aid all unevolved freed spirits to outgrow conditions which, like soiled garments, cling to those of the lower or Earth spirit sphere. Seldom does a newly-freed spirit gravitate to the higher realms. Only exalted spirits, _who, for some special purpose, have become re-embodied_, do, when freed from the physical body, return to their former place of abode, or, perhaps, to a higher sphere. The legend of Jacob's ladder, on which angels descended and ascended into heaven, is a fitting symbol of the spirit's progress. Ever descending angel teachers reach downward to those walking in darkness on both the mortal and the spirit side of life, instructing, inspiring, encouraging and strengthening them, until emerging _from the shadows_ of sense, their quickened vision perceives the descending angels of love, and with eager, outreaching hands and trembling feet, they strive to climb the ladder of eternal progress, _finding on each round the home, the place, the plane suited to the degree of their advancement_. Have I made myself understood? Gentola--Yes, as far as I am fitted to comprehend such an abstruse matter. Another question occurs to me. You have said that certain Ento and other planetary spirits visit Earth's spirit spheres. Can they also come to our planet, as you and other spirits come? De L'Ester--Yes, after they have learned how to accommodate themselves to Earth's conditions. Some Ento friends who are learning this strange process soon will be able to visit you in your own home. Not another question, I beg. We have already consumed too much time. George--If you are ready to descend from celestial to terrestrial affairs, come to the adjoining room, Gentol[a:], and tell us what you think of its contents.
