10513. THE THIRD PLANET OUT IN SPACE - continued

Magnificent palaces were represented before the eyes of the spirits belonging to that planet, resembling those inhabited by kings and princes on ours; for such objects can be represented before the eyes of spirits, and when they are represented they look totally real. But the spirits from that planet did not admire them at all; they called them marble imitations. Theirs, they declared, were more magnificent; but these were their sacred houses or temples, constructed not of stone but wood. And when they were told that for all that those temples were earthly they replied that they were not so, but were heavenly, because when they look at them they do not have anything earthly in mind but something heavenly, believing that they will see objects like this in heaven after death.
