Earth is a small speck – or like a grain of sand – compared to eternity and its eternal heavens.
So, when I tell you, Carlyle, that our home is situated near a beautiful lake, it need cause you no surprise. The lake bears the same correspondence that lakes do of earth. The ethereal water is just as much heavier than the ethereal air as the water on the earth is denser than the atmosphere and within the waters here, glide beautiful fishes – the spirits of those that have died on earth and it is the same with our animals, they arise up more and more beautiful, one sphere above another, but nothing propagates its species here. All propagation is on the material earths and the earths cannot and do not propagate more than the celestial worlds need – moreover, nothing is crowded here and there are vast areas of space –so vast, indeed, that the mind of man cannot even conceive of them –wherein no form yet exists.
Forms come up through the material, not that they may perish, but that they may be conserved to fill eternity with beauty and intelligence – not only the intelligence of mankind but the lesser intelligence of beasts, birds, reptiles and fishes – these forms to nature are just as beautiful as is that of man.
