Degrees and Classes of Spirits
Religions, philosophers and spiritualists, have written many subjects on the ranks and classes of spirits in the other world. Now, we are going to declare the verity regarding their ranks. Furthermore, they differ from one another and the meaning of “up” and “down.”
ne should know that the terms “up” and “down” are relative and comparative, and heavier materials are lower, while lighter ones are higher than the heavier ones. We determine this relativeness according to compression and dilution, just as we consider planet Earth “down” because it is heavier and more massive, and its atmosphere and other light materials ascending, “up.” Similarly, we consider other planets heavy and their atmosphere light, and the higher they go, the lighter they become; this lightness continues to infinity.
