Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spirit writings
Gentola--I confess that you startle me, but as I already have said, it
is my nature to trust all, or not at all, and I hope that the success
of this mission may be as unbounded as is my faith in you all.
De L'Ester--Then understand that in the lecture hall we now are
entering an important step is to be taken, and now we will attempt it.
On yonder slightly raised platform are several scholarly, dignified,
fine looking professors, one of whom has just ceased addressing the
youths and maidens about the hall. With their spiritual and mental
states we have made ourselves acquainted, and we know that three
of those youths are highly sensitive. As a subject for our first
experiment we have chosen the handsome, grave looking youth, clothed
in dark blue. Remain where you are, we will approach and address him.
You perceive that he is not aware of our presence. Now you, who are not
so etherealized as ourselves, will stand by his side, repeating to him
what I shall say to you.
Gentola--Commist[a:] estandû, Ento lisson?
De L'Ester--He starts, looks about him in great surprise, and
involuntarily replies, "Rēvol antiss[a:], Ento ēman[a:]." Professors
and students stare at him inquiringly.
Gentola--Indolois[a:], esto [a:] fondû, comprano gardo, ēvon non ista
paro mano. G[a:]-fon vos tran ist[a:] Gandûlan[a:]. Gandûlanos inos
est[a:] companist[a:] rēmondû. Illo ēmano, Illo.
De L'Ester--Trembling and amazed he springs to his feet, crying,
"Who speaks to me? Who speaks to me?" This youth, Lēta Verronadas,
is both clairvoyant and clairaudient, but cannot yet perceive wholly
freed spirits. Neither does he quite clearly perceive you, but he
is developing rapidly, and soon will both see and hear in a manner
that will greatly surprise himself and others. You wish to know what
you said to him, and the sense of his replies? You asked, "How are
you, Ento lad?" He replied, "Very well, Ento friend." You remarked,
"Indolois[a:] oversteps its bounds. Like some huge serpent it
stealthily crawls onward. Serpents are treacherous. Remember, friend,
remember."
The commotion is disturbing conditions. Quickly approach the student
clothed in purple. He is Dano Andûlēsa, son of Prince Basto Andûlēsa,
and is destined to be one of the chief instruments for the spiritual
enlightenment of Ento's sorrowful peoples. He is so highly sensitive
that already he perceives your presence, and glances about in an
inquiring and perplexed manner. Touch his head with the tips of your
fingers. Now he sees you, and oblivious of his surroundings, he
tremblingly exclaims: "Emana ûts[a:] istan t[a:] ûfan val? Efon foistû
lan[a:] ēdos[a:]."
Gentola--Emano, Ento nouist[a:] mû[a:] vilo. Efon par[a:] nos oirandû
lûtza kiafû zētos antista.
