The Planet Mars and Its Inhabitants, a Psychic Revelation
Kennon, J. L.
Mars (Planet) -- Miscellanea; Spiritualism
"And now abideth Faith, Hope and Love: these three; but the greatest of
these is LOVE." Paul to the Corinthians.
THERE IS BUT ONE LAW ON MARS. THAT LAW IS LOVE.
This law is not written in a code for the guidance of the people.
It is graven in the hearts of the inhabitants, and is reflected in the
countenance of every individual.
This law is the incentive before the entire population and urges each
individual onward to the completion of the task before him.
There are no rulers to bow before: neither is anyone better than his
brother. There is no evil, for all are good: all are equal. God endows
every individual expression of life with the Divine Heritage of a pure
soul. It is the individual's concern to keep this heavenly gift
unstained in its descent into matter. The love force of the Spirit is
the potent agent that does this for the individual when allowed to
permeate and radiate the entire being. When individuals have learned
to bathe their innermost beings in the Father's love, then it must
follow that a nation made up of such individuals will be governed only
by such precepts as are evolved from this dominating Love-force.
It is of no import to the individual on this planet what his particular
task may be, for all work is for the Father; and the humblest vocation
(humbler from the point of view of the dwellers on your Earth) is as
important and as honorable as the highest.
MARS IS RULED BY LOVE, which is in accordance with the Divine Intent.
It is the desire of the Father that every world in limitless space
inhabited by His children be ruled by that Divine Principle. For when
Love is the supreme law of a world, as it is of the Universe, there is
no need of a system of complex laws and a horde of judicial officers to
interpret and enforce them.
When Love enters into the life of a community selfishness makes its
exit: misery becomes a stranger and pain and sickness vanish.
From the cradle to transition the Martian is dominated by Love and
guided by the Father's will. The result of this Love-rule is
individual and communal happiness. But above all, a Spiritual progress
that unfolds the individual in accordance with the Cosmic Intent.
To die, in the sense of passing out of one's physical environment, is
the destiny of every created being. Hence, in that sense, death exists
on Mars as it does on your Earth. But the real death referred to by
Christ: a Spiritual death imposed on man by his fall from Grace, a
penalty for having forgotten God, is unknown on this planet Mars. We
are in harmony with the Father. Those who are spiritually dead are cut
off from the Father as a result of their indifference and ignorance of
Spiritual Truth.
The religion of the Martian may be expressed in two thoughts: "LOVE"
and "THY WILL BE DONE, NOT MINE." The true definition of Religion is a
"RULE OF LIFE," and as our lives are guided entirely by Love and the
Father's Will. WE HAVE A RELIGION.
