and development. Therefore, they prefer to stay in the
farthermost, outermost part of our planet, where the pure
mind stuff is unsullied by our selfish and deleterious
thought currents.
The Third Heaven is a place of which very few people
at the present stage of development have any consciousness,
because most of us are guided in our thought activities
more by emotions and feelings concerning concrete things
than by abstract thought, which is the peculiar faculty pertaining
to the Third Heaven. When we think of love, we
usually think of love in connection with some person; that
is a concrete thought. But of Love in the abstract, very
few of us are able to think. We can think of a house, an
animal, etc., they are concrete, but we dislike to think of an
abstract proposition such as, for instance, that the square
of the hypothenuse equals the squares of the other two sides
of a triangle. Therefore, most of us have very little con-
sciousness in the Third Heaven, and consequently very little
of the material of that world is in the makeup of our
planet.
