On fluidic creations

I have spoken, in a few words, of the great messengers sent among you to carry out their mission of intellectual and moral progress on your globe. [v.

Immigration of superior Spirits on Earth.]

If, in that order, the movement develops and assumes proportions that you notice each day, another is taking place, not only in the world of the Spirits who have left matter, but also one important in the material order. I wish to speak of the laws of fluidic purification. Man must not only elevate his soul through the practice of virtue, but he must also purify matter. Each industry furnishes its contingent to this work, because each industry produces mixtures of every kind; these kinds release fluids which, more purified, go to join in the atmosphere fluids more similar to themselves, which become useful to the manifestations of the Spirits of whom you were speaking a moment ago. Yes, the objects procreated instantaneously by the will, which is the richest gift of the Spirit, are gathered from the semimaterial fluids, analogous to the semimaterial constitution of the body called perispirit, of the inhabitants of erraticity. This is why, with these elements, they can create objects according to their desire. The world of the invisibles is like yours. Instead of being material and gross, it is fluidic, ethereal, of the nature of the perispirit, which is the true body of the Spirit, drawn from those molecular environments, just as yours is formed of things more palpable, tangible, material. The world of the Spirits is not the reflection of yours; it is yours that is a gross and very imperfect image of the realm beyond the tomb.

The relations between these two worlds have always existed. But today the moment has come when all these affinities will be unveiled to you, demonstrated, and made palpable.

When you understand the laws of the relations between fluidic beings and those you know, the law of God will be near to being carried out; because each incarnate will understand his immortality and, from then on, will not only become an ardent worker for the great cause, but also a worthy servant of its works.
