We knew that he was talking about the flight, for he was pointing with
his hands in the directions over which we have flown. He no doubt told
them also about the big city farther up, for we saw the amazement which
the people took on in expression when they were told what could easily
have been astounding information about other inhabitants farther up the
valley about whom they knew nothing.
They seem to be quiet people, thinkers, quick in action proving their
minds are very active. We see some beautiful children and women among
them. All these people are well built in stature and they seem to
respect one another very highly.
The homes of these Moonalites are exceptionally neat and the people all
seem to be of an equality, that is possessing about the same amount of
wealth, whatever the wealth might be. In other words, they are as one
big family and each home seems to have plenty of everything alike. They
all have gems and minerals of value as decorations for their homes. The
natives in this village are very artistic, for there is much of what
could be called fine art in their homes, and what clothing they have
seems to be the best, with no distinction among any of them except the
leader.
Their education is a community system, from what we have been able to
learn. Both children and elders learn alike. It seems that learning
never ceases, for their temples are also their schools. Out of the
equivalent of every twenty-four hours of our day, they worship for
one hour, then they give one hour to study and schooling, as we could
make out, and they give three hours of service as a community, for the
community, which includes agriculture and all service necessary to fill
every need of all the inhabitants. After this is done, they do as they
desire for themselves.
At what we would call sunset on Earth, they all gather in the community
square and give thanks for the day. This is done every day. The
individual whom we would call the spiritual leader appears in a very,
very humble way, far more humble than anything we know on Earth in the
way of humbleness. Their sincerity of worship or their thanksgiving
every day can be felt even by the most skeptical person.
We have tried to find out who they were worshipping, if it was a God
like we on Earth worship, or what. But the best we can learn is what
we assume from their sign language with which they tried to answer us,
that they are worshipping some sort of a Supreme Intelligence, but the
name of It we cannot get, for the sound of their language is very hard
to grasp as to what it might mean. At times it sounds like it could be
a partial Sanskrit, yet Dr. Johnston knows Sanskrit and he says their
speech isn't Sanskrit. Yet their sign language to us is as good as any
we have ever known.
