Chapter IX
RETURN
We are circling this beautiful city at one thousand feet. Our visit here has been so wonderful and everywhere there has been so much beauty that we surely do hope to be able to return here sometime in the future. In the meantime we are taking as much of it all with us as our memories can contain, so we are feasting our eyes on this beauty as our ship circles in air.
Now the ship is hooking onto Mars' light beam and the pilots have set the controls for full speed ahead.
We are now approaching the previous so-called dust cloud. On entering it we notice it is not as dense this time as it was when we were coming in. We are through it.
Again we are encountering a heavy meteoric shower, only now they seem to be much heavier than the shower we saw coming in on the way to Venus. It is amazing to sit here and watch them passing through space and especially now since we have seen them before and have a little more understanding of them than we previously had. We watch a little closer in relation to our ship, as by this time you no doubt know that the ship has its repulsing power in operation for protection.
When we watch them closely we notice what has been explained to us on our way in, that a meteor which is about to cross our path and would strike us, when it makes contact with this repulsing power at the five hundred mile distance, does take on a sudden drop effect instead of continuing in a straight line. It is quite exciting to watch this.
As we sit here watching the flight of the meteors and reviewing in mind the many things that have been told us, among which was the statement that the secret of the law using this repulsing power had not been revealed to us, we realized that neither have we been told about the air mixture which they can make suitable for any purpose instead of carrying oxygen tanks and so forth. As you know, previously we have been told a little about it, but not in detail of its technique.
Now one of the scientists has turned on a screen which has not been turned on before and he tells us to watch it. This screen is capable of being moved to any angle. Upon it, he tells us, he is going to focus other solar systems like ours which he will explain a little for our better understanding.
The first one we see coming into clear focus upon the screen he calls the 'Granitonia System'. And he continues, "This one is fifty trillion light years ahead of our solar system in advancement. It is far larger in size than our system for it has twelve planets within it, the smallest of which is far larger than any planet we have, and its sun is vast in size."
