u. Christ is only an idea on your
planet and not a reality in the hearts of your people. Their whole
thought, for weeks past, has been devoted to their personal adornment,
and in preparing festivals for this occasion.

In your churches, where they seem to observe the period of Christ's
suffering, it is only a form. They go through their vain repetition of
prayers, that have no soul in them, and your six weeks of so-called
Lent is only a mockery of its real significance.

If you would live the Christ life you would not crucify Him daily in
the flesh, but would come to that consciousness that He is risen in
your soul. You are continually crucifying Christ all over your planet
in the same way that you crucified Jesus Christ, for you either deny
Him or pervert His Truth to suit your selfishness.

All of the people on Mars have lived on other planets before, except
your Earth. The Earth has not advanced enough to be placed in the line
of progression yet. However, the time is near when you will experience
that progression. It will be after you are high enough spiritually to
receive word from the Martians through mediums. This work evidences
the fact that you are beginning that experience now. Take hope, for
after the obscure darkness must come the dawn. Your whole Earth is now
in terrible travail, but the result will be the birth of the new Christ
Spirit.

You get glimpses now and then of the real Christ Life, but do you, or
can you realize what life on a planet is like when all the inhabitants
live the Christ Life every day? That is why we have the wonderful
manifestations of the Father's Love in our intricate and delicate
mechanisms, and in our utilization of Cosmic Energy. It is thus that
we receive the Father's wondrous gifts. But Mars never became what it
is until God purified it by His Son's example, and we accepted Him as
our Savior WITHOUT MURDER. Your planet damned itself to many bloody
aeons by the rejection of Him, and your Religion has been blood, blood,
blood! In your last five years you have been given enough blood to
drown all the martyrs you have given to your bloody god.

Your planet is in slavery. You are slaves to your conventionalities.
They are like shackles on your souls: like bands of iron. And yet you
cling to them until it seems you do not want freedom.

It is only Truth that will free you; and as long as you cling to false
ideals and sham systems you must expect to be slaves.
