Journeys to the Planet Mars; or, Our Mission to Ento

Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spirit writings
Genessano--My brother Inidor[a:] and I gratefully appreciate your
efforts on behalf of our people and we pray you accept our homage and
the earnest desire of our hearts that we may come to be numbered among
your friends. Strangely do we come together, Gentol[a:] ēman[a:], you
from a distant planet, we from our spirit realms. Appropriate indeed is
your new name, for well beloved are you by your dearest ones and your
many friends on the spirit side who also give to my brother and me a
place in their affection. Drawn by varied duties and inclinations, we
have visited other planets and their spirit realms, and, although we
have visited Earth's spirit realms, we as yet have not visited your
planet, and only twice, since passing hence, have we returned to our
beloved Ento. On this, our third return, we find ourselves amid scenes
once familiar but now so changed that we are as strangers in a strange
land. Through tender ties or weighty interests, often spirits are drawn
to their former abodes, but Inidor[a:] and I, being, save for some
distant kindred, the last of our race, have felt no attraction on Ento
strong enough to draw us away from dearer ties. You, perhaps, are aware
that we now return for a special purpose, and may the Supreme One aid
us all in our loving endeavor. This my brother Inidor[a:] will speak
for himself.
Inidora--I am happy in being a member of this group of earnest, loving
spirits. Gentol[a:] ēman[a:], you are devoting yourself to a grander,
a loftier mission than you have yet been made to understand. Myriad
spirits of many planetary spirit realms eagerly, anxiously, hopefully
watch its progress. From star to star a message has been heralded,
summoning angel hosts to unite with us in a mighty effort to tear
asunder the dense veil of materialism which so long has blinded the
eyes of Ento's despairing ones. To come in the might of their love
and wisdom, that they may strengthen our hands and make firm our
footsteps, while we strive to bring to the children of Ento a knowledge
of continuous existence. In answer to this message, angel hosts are
combining their forces to aid us in the momentous hour which swiftly
approaches. In that hour your spirit senses will be so unfolded that
then you will comprehend what now you but dimly perceive. And may
divinest influences aid us in this, as in all righteous undertakings.
Gentola--I well know that I do not understand the supreme aim of what
you and these friends are pleased to term our mission. It is my nature
to trust all, or not at all, so, implicitly, I trust you and them,
believing that whatever information may, for the time, be withheld
from me, will be for a kind and wise purpose. At present I am more
interested in what you may tell me of yourself and brother than in what
may be the special object of bringing me to Ento.
