“We believe it is generally accepted that light is due to a certain speed of electric vibrations. We have been led to say that light is life in motion, and light on one plane of existence is darkness to another. For instance, we have animals and birds on our planet at the present time that evidently never saw the sun. The light of the sun to them is darkness. A good illustration of this is the owl. The owl may be sitting upon a fence or the limb of a tree and if the sun is shining brightly, you may approach him and he is apparently blind, but as the shadows begin to deepen, he begins to see a little, and when total darkness reigns, he sees plainly. This is not only true of the owl but of many insects, birds, and animals.
This is at least a suggestion of the following general law; namely, that when a world is born from its central sun, it receives its light and heat from that center and that it cannot even see light emanating from a higher center, nor feel the heat from a higher center, for the vibrations of that higher center cannot touch it. We believe that if there are inhabitants on our moon that the earth would be to them a sun, and that they would have no consciousness of our sun. The same would be true of all the satellites of Mars, Jupiter, and the other planets.
We see the sun and feel its light and are dependent upon its emanating life for our existence, because it is our parent, and we believe that when the inhabitants of the earth have developed to a higher plane of existence, they will begin to see shining worlds in space that now are entirely invisible to us; suns and systems so glorious and bright, so refined and ethereal, that their emanations do not touch anything that belongs to us, and therefore, we know nothing of their existence; so that there may be suns immensely greater and brighter than our sun even nearer to us than our sun, and yet we know nothing about them. Again, we quote from Professor Proctor’s book entitled “Other Worlds Than Ours”:
“Or if we estimate Jupiter rather by the forces inherent in his system, if we contemplate the enormous rapidity with which his vast bulk whirls round upon his axis, or trace the stately motion with which he sweeps onward on his orbit, or measure the influences by which he sways his noble family of satellites, we are equally impressed with the feeling that here we have the prince of all the planets, the orb which of all others in the solar scheme, suggests to us conceptions of the noblest forms of life. The very symmetry and perfection of the system which circles around Jupiter have led many to believe that he must be inhabited by races superior in intelligence to any which people our earth. The motions of these bodies afford indeed to our astronomers, a noble subject of study.””
