The mental picture that spirits and angels have places the planet Mars, as it places each of the other planets, in its own fixed position. Mars is placed on the left, out in front, and some distance away at breast level, thus outside the sphere where spirits belonging to our planet are. The spirits belonging to one planet are separated from those belonging to another because the spirits belonging to each planet are associated with some particular province in the Grand Man and consequently they have different and divergent modes of being. This divergence in their modes of being is what causes their visible separateness in positions either to the right or left of one another, and closer or further away.
