CHAPTER VII — A Great Many Clair­voy­ant Visions describes a series of vivid clair­voy­ant insights that reveal a wealth of knowl­edge about life on Mars. These visions pro­vide a detailed pic­ture of the Mar­t­ian land­scape, their inhab­i­tants, and the way they live, offer­ing a stark con­trast to the world as we know it on Earth. As the com­pil­er of this vol­ume wit­nessed, Mars presents a peace­ful world where har­mo­ny reigns, and life flour­ish­es under divine guid­ance, with many aspects of Mar­t­ian exis­tence seem­ing to tran­scend the con­fines of Earth­ly expe­ri­ence.

The first vision depict­ed Urid, a city of unpar­al­leled beau­ty locat­ed beside a tran­quil lake, framed by tow­er­ing moun­tains. The Mar­t­ian archi­tec­ture is both sim­ple and effi­cient, with white stone build­ings reflect­ing the nat­ur­al sur­round­ings. Pub­lic spaces are cen­tral to the com­mu­ni­ty, designed not only for func­tion but to encour­age com­mu­nal activ­i­ties that pro­mote uni­ty and spir­i­tu­al growth. This cityscape, rem­i­nis­cent of ancient Gre­co-Roman designs, focus­es on cre­at­ing spaces that nur­ture both the mind and spir­it, empha­siz­ing a bal­ance with nature that Earth has yet to ful­ly achieve.

The sec­ond vision expand­ed the scope to reveal Mar­t­ian canals, which serve as vital arter­ies for the flow of water across the plan­et. These canals, sur­round­ed by lush veg­e­ta­tion and float­ing dwellings, demon­strate Mar­t­ian engi­neer­ing at its finest, using advanced tech­niques to man­age water flow and sus­tain life. The visions also depict­ed the polar regions of Mars, where a melt­ing snows­cape was shown to sig­nal sea­son­al changes. Con­trary to Earth­’s ear­ly mis­con­cep­tions of dark seas, these regions are cov­ered in rich veg­e­ta­tion, chal­leng­ing pri­or beliefs and offer­ing a new under­stand­ing of Mar­t­ian geog­ra­phy.

Mar­tians them­selves are shown as beings of advanced evo­lu­tion, with trans­par­ent skin and a calm demeanor, free from the ail­ments that plague Earth­’s inhab­i­tants. Their cloth­ing is min­i­mal­is­tic, designed for com­fort and prac­ti­cal­i­ty, and their inter­ac­tions with ani­mals reflect a deep respect for all forms of life. The har­mo­ny between the Mar­tians and their envi­ron­ment extends to their rela­tion­ship with nature, as demon­strat­ed in their care for domes­ti­cat­ed ani­mals, which pos­sess unique char­ac­ter­is­tics indica­tive of their advanced bio­log­i­cal under­stand­ing. This peace­ful exis­tence allows them to live in spir­i­tu­al har­mo­ny, where their dai­ly lives are inter­twined with their rev­er­ence for the world around them.

A recur­ring theme in the visions is the spir­i­tu­al­i­ty that per­me­ates Mar­t­ian soci­ety. Cel­e­bra­tions, rit­u­als, and fes­ti­vals are an inte­gral part of their cul­tur­al fab­ric, often reflect­ing an appre­ci­a­tion for nat­ur­al cycles and cos­mic align­ment. One such fes­ti­val marks the arrival of water from the poles, a time of great joy and spir­i­tu­al renew­al, under­scor­ing the Mar­t­ian belief in the sacred­ness of water as a life-giv­ing force. This deeply spir­i­tu­al con­nec­tion to the envi­ron­ment con­trasts with Earth­’s often mate­ri­al­is­tic approach to nat­ur­al resources and high­lights a key dif­fer­ence in the two civ­i­liza­tions’ rela­tion­ships with the plan­et.

In more inti­mate glimpses of Mar­t­ian life, per­son­al inter­ac­tions pro­vide insights into their val­ues and the sim­plic­i­ty with which they live. A musi­cal per­for­mance, for exam­ple, illus­trates the Mar­t­ian appre­ci­a­tion for art, where music is not just enter­tain­ment but a spir­i­tu­al expres­sion that aligns the soul with the divine. Fam­i­ly scenes por­tray a deep sense of togeth­er­ness and spir­i­tu­al puri­ty, with Mar­tians liv­ing their lives with a child-like sim­plic­i­ty that allows them to main­tain a deep con­nec­tion to the uni­verse and its laws. These visions reveal how the Mar­t­ian approach to life empha­sizes faith, inno­cence, and a har­mo­nious exis­tence.

The final visions zoom out to reveal a celes­tial per­spec­tive of Mars and its moons, offer­ing a cos­mic con­text for the Mar­t­ian expe­ri­ence. These obser­va­tions sug­gest that Mars is not an iso­lat­ed world, but rather part of a larg­er, inter­con­nect­ed uni­verse where light and warmth are shared across plan­ets, sym­bol­iz­ing a uni­ver­sal bond between all celes­tial bod­ies. The Mar­tians’ under­stand­ing of the cos­mos, as seen through these visions, points to a pro­found spir­i­tu­al wis­dom that tran­scends mere phys­i­cal exis­tence and con­nects their world with the divine forces of the uni­verse.

In con­clu­sion, these clair­voy­ant visions pro­vide a rich, mul­ti­fac­eted pic­ture of life on Mars, offer­ing insights into the Mar­t­ian way of life, their spir­i­tu­al beliefs, and their har­mo­nious rela­tion­ship with the envi­ron­ment. These visions empha­size the poten­tial for inter­plan­e­tary uni­ty and the uni­ver­sal nature of life, urg­ing Earth’s inhab­i­tants to rethink their approach to life and spir­i­tu­al­i­ty. The con­nec­tion between Mars and Earth, though vast in dis­tance, is por­trayed as an oppor­tu­ni­ty for mutu­al under­stand­ing and shared progress, with the Mar­tians serv­ing as a mod­el of spir­i­tu­al and envi­ron­men­tal har­mo­ny.
