We haven't seen any large manufacturing plants of any kind or anything
that would suggest it, but they tell us there are many, but the
manufacturing places, we would call them factories, are built just as
beautiful as homes or business buildings, so we couldn't tell them
apart.
They tell us they have nine oceans, many lakes and rivers, majestic,
towering mountains and very beautiful woodlands. On their oceans they
have very large ships. For overland transportation they have a system
similar to our railways but since they use light for energy, they need
no rails for their cars as we do. The power engine pulls thirty to
forty cars, what we would call cars, yet they don't look like any that
we have. They seem to be gliding right over the surface of the ground.
In other words they have all the modern conveniences so far ahead of us
that we haven't even begun.
The atmosphere here is very, very pleasant. This day, according to
our own thermometer which we have with us, the temperature registers
ninety-seven degrees. At first, as we mentioned, it was a little stuffy
because of the heat and the rain that had come just before we landed
here. The humidity is around ten on the average but at times it goes up
to eighty. That is when it is really stifling, yet they don't mind at
all.
In other words, everything is so beautiful here that we begin to think
this might be heaven.
But again our thoughts are read for they tell us that there are
billions of solar system beyond this one, and each solar system is
greater than the one preceding it, so that when man goes through all
the phases of our system and learns what he is supposed to learn in
our system, he goes on to the next one and forever keeps on going that
way eternally, from system to system.
They tell us that many great souls of Earth have been reborn on one or
the other planets, depending on what they have learned while they were
on Earth in reference to the universal life.
We are now taken to one of their art galleries. In an outer room quite
a number of artists are at work but they are so engrossed in their
creations that they don't even know we are present. And the art seems
to be something out of any world, for remember planet Mars is also
a world. A sculptor or a painter seems to put his whole life into
whatever he is doing. Art seems to be their favorite occupation. There
is no honorship given in any field of endeavor whether it be art or
anything else. The main object of art seems to be the service that is
rendered unto the people in a steady advancement.
The structural pattern of their pictures and statues do not vary from
those of Earth or any other planet within our system. The difference
lies in their method of living, for they feel and portray living
feeling in all that they create. Their unit life of service to all
is the reason for their great advancement beyond that of the Earth's
inhabitants.
