The Education of a Believer 163
God as The Force, no one would go into someone else's
house thinking of stealing, killing, or doing harm. As
soon as we enter someone's home, they sense our
presence. They are in tune with us, with our vibrations,
our ananas and anionites. That is known as perfect
harmony; thus, we can and do live with each other in
peace."
"What is your world called?"
"The Kingdom of the Mount; it's where I've lived for
more than 304 of your terrestrial years. In this solar
system, it's called Ganymede, one of the moons of
Jupiter. It's about the size of your moon. Our terrain is
very much like the one we're on right now; the atmos
phere is about the same-very thin oxygen, with high,
steep mountains covered with ice, as is the case here.
The topography is also very similar."
"Incredible. I know about the moons of Jupiter, but it
seems unlikely that life exists on one of them."
"We have extremely cold weather compared to your
temperatures, but for us, these temperatures are com
fortable ."
"What about your way of life-do you get married?
Do you have movie theaters? Is it a paradise?"
"We live in the valleys, surrounded by the icy peaked
mountains, in small complexes, what you would call
villages. Similar to the ones you see around here.
Ganymede is very volcanic. Volcanoes are our source of
energy, and we use that powerful energy for our
technology. The same way you usually find large cities
like New York, Paris, London, and Rome clustered near
large bodies of water, our villages and industrial centers
are near volcanoes. They are our source of life.
We have no oceans or large rivers on our planet. We
get our water from the melting ice mixed with the
volcanic heat; it's very similar to the medicinal waters
you find right here ."
