Are the animals in the spirit world wild, ferocious, in their nature?
No—no! There is nothing wild or ferocious here—all is harmony. We have lions, tigers, and other wild animals, as you would call them, but in nature, they are like the lamb. Men, women and children may play with them and no harm is done—all is love, peace and happiness. It cannot be otherwise. Our animal passions no longer exist here—there is no longer in us feelings of discord and war—nothing of that sort, and these animals live, as we live, in harmony with existing spiritual conditions. It would not do to cut off the lower tribes from spirit life, for without these man is incomplete. As I said before, you will find that man embodies all the lower orders of creation.
—Hafed, Prince of Persia
