SPIRITUAL SEANCES ON THE INDIAN OCEAN. 207
spiritual bodies, extend outward from the person quite a distance
; and, although indicating, they do not unmistakably
index the mental characteristics. And so the aural lights,
and odylic sprays from the brain, give only the general bent
and tendency of the mind." . . .
" Undoubtedly I could go to the planets ; but I've no desire
to so do. My work as yet is connected with the earth.
Parisi's researches lead him in such directions. I think he
has visited Jupiter and other planets." . . .
"• The future is more important than the past ; the destiny
than the origin of humanity. Though generally outlined by
your guardian angel, your future, morally considered, is not
irrevocably fixed. Man is a mental and moral, as well as a
physical being. To all moral beings endowed with reflection,
there is a field of moral action. You are now paving the
highway your feet must press in spirit-life, and laying, too,
the foundation-stones of the temple 3'ou will inhabit. That
chain of pearls was not a mythic farce, but a reality put
deeds of your whole life, — deeds and events that
around your neck when reaching the years of accountability
by Parisi Lendanta, who for a time was John's medium.
These pearls magnetically reflect, otherwise spiritually mirror,
the
you will be necessitated to read when entering the higher
state of existence. Personal identity implies memory, and
memory retribution. This is the judgment, — the opening
of the books." . . .
" Living a celibate life for the purpose of boastingly saying,
' I am a celibate, I am pure : stand by, for I am holier
than thou,' is selfish, and therefore morally deleterious;
and absolute purity, men become virgin celibates pure-
but if in laboring, on the other hand, to save others from passion,
from fleshly gratifications, and all that opposes chastity
minded and spiritual, then are they truly angelic. Such,
having been raised from the dead, walk in the resurrection."
