Taking a break from the regular queue to provide you with a picture of everyone’s favorite rock boys in the infamous suit.

[marcella-delaney]

As for their worship of God, it is all based on the acknowledgement of our Lord as the Highest, the one who rules heaven and earth. They call him "the Only Lord," and since they acknowledge and worship him during their physical lives they seek him and find him after death. This is the same Lord we worship.

I asked them whether they know that the Only Lord is human. They have replied that they all know he is human because in their world many people have seen him as a human, who teaches them about truth, protects them, and gives them eternal life if they worship him by doing what is good.

[marcella-delaney]

Spirits of that planet do not want to be in the company of spirits from our planet because they are different in temperament and custom. They say that spirits from our planet are crafty, and quick and clever at evil schemes, but do not know much about what is good or give it much thought.

Spirits from Jupiter are much wiser than spirits from our planet. They describe us as talking a lot and thinking very little and therefore having almost no inner perception or ability even to tell what is good. This leads them to conclude that people from our planet are external by nature.

[marcella-delaney]

As to how [the inhabitants of Jupiter] walk, they do not walk upright like the inhabitants of our planet and of many others, nor do they go on all fours like animals, but help themselves along with their hands, from time to time straightening themselves up on their feet partway. Everything step as they go along, they look to the side and back, twisting their body a little, in a single, quick motion. This is because it is considered impolite for them not to show their face to others.

[marcella-delaney]

They [the spirits of Jupiter] said that their greatest concern was for the raising of their children and that they loved their children most tenderly.

Emanuel Swedenborg, Other Planets, § 48

[marcella-delaney]

They [the spirits of Jupiter] told me that in the region of the planet where they had lived their earthly lives there were a great many people, as many as the land could feed. They said that the land was abundant and fertile in every way. In their world people desired no more than they needed for the necessities of life, and they saw no use in having more than that.
