"Another instance, your scientists have in their mind that to have a
reflector which reflects the images of the heavenly bodies, as they
call it, the reflector has to be of one piece. Yet we have a reflector
here on Mars that is made of hundreds of pieces, so synchronized that
they reflect as one towards the one central point. Yet the Earthly
scientists would say 'look at the mirrors or reflectors we would have
to make to make up the one of the many. It would take lots of time.'
"In the first place, time is eternal. In the second place, it is much
easier and quicker to make many small ones than one big one, for
you are limited in the size of the big one, unlimited in the many
small ones. This is one example of your thinking scientists in the
Earth planet. They seem to focus their minds in one channel and by
doing so they limit themselves. Yet you have the finest group of men
which Earth is to know at the present time which are scientists and
they are striving for the greater good, too, of all its people. If
unity, happiness, greatness of civilization is ever to come, it will
come through these men. For it is through these types of men that
other sister planets have so far advanced. The only thing needed is a
unification or coordination where division and differences of various
branches will become non-existent, and instead all working towards a
common center in behalf of one another and in turn for the good of its
people."
Now we are given a toast by all the scientists that are gathered here
in this magnificent Temple of Science in our honor. The toast is:
"May their sight, their vision, their hearts and their minds unite as
one on the highway of eternal expectation of an endless expedition,
that by their way all men shall be lifted up to see the light which
shall reveal the wonders unto all men."
This meeting with the scientists has lasted far into the night but
every moment has been filled with interest. Now we are going to our
rooms for a few hours rest before being taken back to the airport.
We had a wonderful rest and it is already midday. We are at the airport
and ready to start our journey in the Martonian ship back to the Moon
where our ship is.
This ship is not the same one that brought us here. It is different in
many ways. We are entering it, the doors have been closed and we are
taking off. We are now circling the capital city of Mars. Looking back
towards the ground we can see the scientists, the head of Mars and many
others still looking up and waving.
Now we are hooking onto the Moon light and are flying at full speed
towards the Moon.
We are not riding this ship in the so-called front, but rather we are
in a compartment in mid-ship, a room by itself, yet we have a good view
to the outside.
