Many centuries past, certain of the eastern races upon earth regarded the sun as the visible embodiment of the Father―a representative of Him on earth.
The sun beneficently bathed the earth with light and warmth and enabled them to grow food with which to sustain their physical bodies.
The sun helped them to keep alive on earth.
They did not worship the sun―as so many of them are reputed to have done―but solely regarded the sun as symbolising God.
They have been, and are still called sun-worshippers, and are looked upon as pagans and idolaters of the worst kind.
They had no faith―as theologians now use the word―yet when they arrived in these lands [in the world of spirits], they were not one whit the worse for it spiritually.
