Both Inidora̤ and I long for the time when we shall be fitted to return to mortal existence. Would we prefer re-embodiment on Ento? I cannot say that our inclination is not in that direction, still the feeling scarcely amounts to a preference. Then we well know that the Angels of the Visitation will choose birthplaces best suited, not only to our further evolvement, but where we may aid others in their progress. Many spirits strongly desire to be reborn on the planet of their last re-embodiment, and conditions favoring, they may do so. Spirits from the higher spheres, reborn on any planet, as saviors, leaders, prophets, or teachers, may or may not have been former inhabitants of such planet. Through the law of fitness all re-embodiments are controlled. You, ēmana̤, largely because you cannot recall the past, cannot yet accept a belief in re-embodiment; but when you shall have returned to the spirit side you again will recognize its beneficence, just as in time all spirits recognize that Infinite Intelligence, Love and Justice give to all, that which is for their greatest good.

De L'Ester—We now will leave you. On the morning of November 1st we will come for you, and you will not forget to take the usual precautions against being disturbed. I may mention that on your next visit to Ento, you will have the pleasure of meeting the Lady Camarissa̤, mother of Inidora̤ and Genessano. She will meet us at Camarissa̤. Until then, adieu.

October 29th, 1893.


[CHAPTER IX.]

MEETING WITH CAMARISSA.

De L'Ester—We salute you, and are gratified to find you prepared for our flight to Ento. As Inidora̤, Genessano, and their mother await us at Camarissa̤ we will journey quickly. George, allow your sister to merely rest on your arm; thus she will grow stronger and more self-reliant. Yonder is ruddy Ento, glowing and palpitating like the heart of some living creature. Now glance backward at our own distant planet. Yes, its radiant envelope differs in color from that of Ento. What occasions the difference in the atmospheric coloring of the two planets? Qualities of atmosphere, reflection and refraction.

Yes, it is difficult to realize that on our Earth world myriads of creatures, humans and animals each in accordance with their inherent qualities are reaching out toward the light which lighteth, not only every man that cometh into the world, but which shines for the Earth worm as well as for the angel. You think that a very comprehensive statement? So it is; but is not the Infinite, Omni-present Spirit in the atom as well as in the universe? Aye, and spirit is the one light, and there is no other.

The beautiful city Camarissa̤ lies below us, and we will now descend to our friends who await us in the arbor.
