THE NEIGHBOR SPIRITS
"We are members of another circle,
but we are not used to writing yet, and cannot express our thoughts
easily. But we would like to
tell you of our life here, for we are busy and happy, yet with infinite possibilities before us.
Think what it means to study any of the great sciences from this side! To
study the stars and suns, for instance, the homes of multitudes of
spirits. For each planet has a spirit zone surrounding it to which their
own spirits go. There is, of course, intercommunication between the
planets, and we are made happy by visitors from far away zones. They
tell us of a spirit life the same as ours, but of differing conditions
in each planet; and that
their bodies are made to conform to the conditions.
Eyes can be made which penetrate
darkness; bodies there are which
delight in intense cold; ears may be attuned to the "music of the spheres," a poetic expression of
mortal mind, but which means more than mortal mind has ever guessed."
