Chapter 4 The Moon

1. After getting to know all the inhabitants of this world body, let's take a closer look at it's surface on both sides.

2. Concerning the side facing the earth, you can already recognize it quite well by means of a good magnifying eye weapon, that this world body does not present a flat surface, but a very mountainous one to look at, and is only distinguished from the earth by the fact that it firstly shows no water surface, and secondly, that it's mountains do not run out radially or chain-like from the most important high points like those of the earth, but only present themselves as rings by enclosing larger or smaller areas. There are indeed also individual mountain ranges which resemble those of the earth, both in respect of the ray and the chain form; but they are much rarer, and those which run out in ray form are actually not mountain ridges, but an uninterrupted series of small ring walls, the diameter of which is hardly more than thirty fathoms; Such small ringwalls then run in a straight line in many thousands, and that from some large ringwall to some larger, or just as large, or more often also smaller ringwall, and in this way form in a certain way roads between all the ringwalls. If you want to observe this world-body through any stronger magnifying tube, you will discover these offshoots as a kind of brighter shimmering rays, and see how they spread out from an even brighter and also higher point in all directions. Their cell-like arrangement has led some astronomers to the erroneous opinion that they claimed to have discovered vegetation there, while it is not to be discovered on the whole side facing the earth, and also is and will be impossible ever to discover, because there is none there. The same is also the case with the even rarer chain-like mountain ranges, since they either consist of such ring walls, which are strung together like shapeless sugar cones, and have small ring-shaped depressions on their tops; or such cliff-like embankments in a row enclose a larger area, often more than fifty miles wide, which itself consists of many larger and smaller ring ramparts, in which even individual blunt cones with small ring-like depressions often still occur; indeed, even the small ramparts and roofs of the cones are often even provided with such small ring ramparts.

3. Now you would like to know, why all this on an uninhabited world body surface?

4. How is it then, if I would ask you: Why all the little spots, hairs and all the most different notches in all the leaves of the trees, shrubs and plants, and similar varieties in all the other objects of the animate and inanimate creation? Behold, there would be much to explain, especially if you consider, in addition, what an incalculably great significance a single hair of even the most insignificant moss plant holds within itself!

5. Behold, it is all the more the case with half the surface of a whole world-body; therefore I can only tell you something in general about it, and so all these ring walls on the surface of the moon are placed for the reception of terrestrial magnetism in such a way that the edges of the walls are, in a way, suckers of this impressive fluid; and secondly, however, the various depressions are receptacles for this very fluid. The reason why not all of them are of the same size and depth, is that this force must be distributed just as variedly, so that then from the average of such most exact distribution, that well-balanced proportion is managed so that according to it, the orderly preservation and movement of two world-bodies standing opposite each other, is invariably met. See, this is the general purpose of the formation of the moon's surface, which seems somewhat strange to you.

6. A second purpose of almost all these depressions is that in them, for the necessary preservation of all these formations, atmospheric air is constantly found and preserved like the water in the depressions of the earth. You will ask where this air comes from? And I say to you: From the same as the earth, namely from the great reservoir of the infinite space filled everywhere with light and ether. At night, i.e. when the side facing the earth is without light, these depressions fill up with atmospheric air; when the sunlight gradually comes over them, an extremely abundant dew forms in these countless cauldrons as a precipitation of the atmospheric air contained therein; This dew then again fortifies all parts of the lunar surface, and also seeps as pure water through the whole lunar body for the support of the water sources beyond and from it, for the formation of the vapors and permanent air layer. Behold, this is another main feature of this lunar surface formation which seems strange to you.

7. Would you believe that all this cauldron formation of the surface of the moon still allows a third main purpose?

8. Oh yes, I say. All these cauldrons are also dwellings for those spirits to be reformed, who are saved from the first degree of hell by the teachers sent there from the better and purer spirit world with frequent support from the first heaven.

9. When these spirits are brought there, they are given a body similar to theirs again from the air in the cauldrons, by means of which they are able to see both spiritual and material things according to the needs of their improvement.

10. When they get there, they first inhabit those places of this world-body which are the deepest and at the same time the darkest for your eyes. When they improve, their coarse air-body is always transformed into a finer one, by means of which they then also come into a higher cauldron, and come into the small ones only as individuals, and into the larger ones as societies of like-minded people.
