The afternoon of the third day we spent with a gathering of Venetian
scientists where many things have been talked about, and especially
the purpose of life, like that of human and the billions upon billions
of systems through which the humans now on the different planets in
our system will pass. And that each system varies slightly from all
the others, just as each planet in each system varies from all other
planets, in that system. It was brought out that no where in the
vast universe that they have thus far penetrated have they found an
exact duplication. There is much similarity but infinite variety. It
seems that the whole thing sums up into one, and that is like a vast
university of endless numbers of grades.
And they really did give us a laugh in a good natured way of course,
when they told us that we are so far back and that we have become so
egotistical through that unenlightened mind of ours that we believe
our planet to be the only one inhabited by human form in the whole
unlimited universe which is made up of an eternal number of systems.
One of the scientists spoke up and said, "if you knew your Creator
as well at heart as you speak of Him with your lips, you would not
belittle Him such as that, that He would create such a vast kingdom
and yet place His children in the darkest corner of it, leaving the
greatest and most beautiful part of it vacant. It is just as if
an Earthly man would build a castle of one thousand rooms only to
keep it standing empty while his children would be kept living in a
deteriorating dwelling. No, my brothers, the Creator is wiser than the
Earthly man gives Him credit for being."
This discussion with these wise men had lasted for many hours and much
was talked about that gave us increasingly greater revelations of
ourselves and all forms as merely channels of service through which
the Creator is able to express Himself to the degree in which we, the
keepers of our forms, keep the channel open for His expressing. So much
of this was given through feeling, somewhat like an awakening, that
we are unable to put it down in words, but our hosts informed us that
as we thought along these lines, words would be given us that we may
pass our revelations on to our brothers on Earth after we had returned
to them. Also that as our brothers thought along these lines, with
a sincere desire in their hearts to know and to serve their Father,
revelations of beauty beyond words would be given to each that he too
might grow and travel throughout the Father's vast kingdom.
Finally the meeting with the scientists came to an end. From this
meeting we were taken to our dwelling to rest up a little and then to
be the guests of the head of Venus for the evening. He was giving an
open banquet in our honor as in the morning we were departing for Mars.
So here is early morning. We are taking what little luggage we had with
us and are being taken to the airport.
