The Planet Mars and Its Inhabitants, a Psychic Revelation

Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spiritualism
The text: "Thou shalt earn thy bread by the sweat of thy brow" has a
deep significance to one who has come into a knowledge of Truth.
Drones have no place in the Divine Plan. It is not only essential but
mandatory, that each one do his part for the common good. The
non-producing rich man is as much a drone as is the vagabond who
neither toils nor spins. The Biblical test concerning the difficulty
of the rich man getting into Heaven means that it is impossible for a
drone or parasite to get into harmony with God.
The possession of wealth is not in itself sinful, but the possession of
wealth is a corollary to selfishness. He who is unselfish will spurn
wealth. The individual who accumulates beyond his needs sins against
Heaven when he locks up his goods in strong boxes. The act of hoarding
deprives some creature of his just portion, for God has planned there
should be sufficient for all who make the effort, and a system that
permits an unequal distribution of God's gifts is in opposition to the
Divine Plan, and doubly pernicious is a church organization that
permits it.
Only after Christ has taken up His abode in the hearts of the people of
your Earth will surcease come to the suffering millions on your planet.
Happiness and selfishness are so diametrically opposed that the former
is impossible unless the latter is eliminated from your world, for only
real happiness comes after complete surrender to God. Surrender to God
means subordination to His will. His will on Earth must be done as it
is in Heaven. All must be self-conscious of this. If God's will was
adhered to on your Earth what a different place it would be! Instead of
a shambles it would be a paradise, the brotherhood of man and the
Fatherhood of God a fact instead of the dream of a few.
God loves all His creatures, both evolutionary and non-evolutionary.
His love is infinite in extent. We are all His children. Everything
has been provided for us. It is only man's selfishness that deprives
any creature of his just dues. Man suffers want on account of his lack
of faith in God! Before man lost his faith in God he walked and
communed with angels. He could do it now if he would but listen to the
Voice Within--if he would only open his heart to Christ, for help is
ready whenever one asks for it in sincerity and faith.
One of the sources of great injustice to the majority of the
inhabitants of your Earth is the belief in the dogma of Divine Right.
This dogma includes not only the absurdity of the Divine Right of
kings, but the Divine Right to the ownership of goods and land through
the Creator's favoritism for a few.
This dogma is the mother of untold misery and suffering. Out of this
ungodly theory has evolved your shameful caste system; your shameful
economic ideas.
