1967. Earthly truths, or those drawn from bodily, worldly, and earthly sources, are earthenware containers of spiritual truths

I spoke with spirits about truths of nature, about the fact that people care little nowadays about truths, only about experiments, from which they are unable, for many reasons, to find out causes. Even truths derived from that source they do not acknowledge, because truths are hidden to those immersed in outermost bodily and sensual concerns only. To them, false hypotheses are more attractive.
