taught.
Special and particular attention is given to the subject of the
development of Spiritual gifts to the end that all may come into man's
Divine Heritage, the PEACE, POWER AND PLENTY of the KINGDOM OF GOD.
Each student is selected for his or her proper vocation, and this
vocation is determined scientifically and accurately, for what benefits
the individual also benefits the entire community.
Each individual is trained to perform his part in a manner that will
ensure the unity and harmony of the entire industrial system of the
planet, and each unit understands the dignity and importance of his
position, no matter what that position may be, for on Mars no activity
of human endeavor is considered menial; no one position in life is less
important than the rest: all is God's work.
And so each gravitates to his special liking in the realm of physical
activity, for God has created each individual for some particular work.
Six hours is a day's work, the remainder of the time is devoted to
recreation, music, lectures, and those general activities that best
develop the highest spiritualities with the individual. For the
Martians realize that life on the material plane is but temporary the
isolation of the individual Divine Spark from the Infinite whole to the
end that the personality may become for all Eternity self-conscious and
in harmony with God, which means the inheritance of God's Kingdom for
all time.
Failure to come into harmony with God is destruction of the
individuality, but not of the Divine in man, for that is
indestructible: it always was and always will be.
Education on Mars is inculcated with a view principally of developing
the individual spiritually in order to prepare one for the spiritual
progress after the completion of the material probationary period as
well as having life in greatest abundance during that period, and with
this main end in view the subject of marriage, the rearing of children,
receives special consideration and attention.
The pivotal idea is that when the time for mating arrives the selection
of a wife by the prospective husband must be in accordance with true
conjugal harmony, and this is not possible in the absence of Spiritual
development. Hence, divorces are unknown with us, and to that end is
special care taken in the matter of teaching the truth concerning the
marital relation, the rearing of children and their Spiritual growth.
