567. They do not walk on four feet like animals of the earth, or four-legged animals, but more or less jump, at the same time helping themselves along with their hands, so as to go faster. From time to time they stand on both legs, but bent at the knees, and they sit gracefully, almost like the Mohammedans, wherever they may be; and they rest in the same posture. The fact that they move forward by jumping, arises from their inward nature, because they are of the earth, and at the same time look toward heaven. But the people of our earth, and spirits, mock them for this, being evil themselves, and born into wickedness, and boasting that they walk upright, whereas this is more a result of being arrogant. Clearly, the erect position of the body is not natural, but artificial, learned by training and habit over a period of time. Nature prefers that they walk in this manner, and if [the people of our earth] had so walked, it would have become good manners from custom, just as nakedness did in the warm regions of our earth.
