earnest beings who were devoted servants of humanity while on earth, 
and largely poured out their love to God in the form of works for 
man. They are reaping the reward of their good deeds by developing 
larger powers of usefulness and increased wisdom in their direction. 
Plans of wider beneficence unroll themselves before the mind of the 
philanthropist, and like an architect, he designs the future edifice 
which he will build in a coming life on earth ; he matures the 
schemes which he will then work out into actions, and like a creative 
God plans his universe of benevolence, which shall be manifested in 
gross matter when the time is ripe. These souls will appear as the 
great philanthropists of yet unborn centuries, who will incarnate on 
earth with innate dower of unselfish love and of power to achieve. 
> Most varied in character, perhaps, of all the heavens is the 
fourth, for here the powers of the most advanced souls find their 
exercise, so far as they can be expressed in the world of form. Here 
the kings of art and of literature are found, exercising all their 
powers of form, of colour, of harmony, and building greater faculties 
with which to be reborn when they return to earth. Noblest music, 
ravishing beyond description, peals forth from the mightiest monarchs 
of harmony that the earth has known, as Beethoven, no longer deaf, 
pours out his imperial soul in strains of unexampled beauty, making 
even the heaven world more melodious as he draws down harmonies from 
higher spheres, and sends them thrilling through the heavenly places. 
Here also we find the masters of painting and of sculpture, learning 
new hues of colour, new curves of undreamed beauty.
> 
> And here also are others who failed, though greatly aspiring, and 
who are here transmuting longings into powers, and dreams into 
faculties, that shall be theirs in another life. Searchers into 
Nature are here, and they are learning her hidden secrets ; before 
their eyes are unrolling systems of worlds with all their hidden 
mechanism, woven series of workings of unimaginable delicacy and 
complexity ; they shall return to earth as great "discoverers," with 
unerring intuitions of the mysterious ways of Nature.
> 
> In this heaven also are found students of the deeper knowledge, the 
eager, reverent pupils who sought the Teachers of the race, who 
longed to find a Teacher, and patiently worked at all that had been 
given out by some one of the great spiritual Masters who have taught 
humanity. Here their longings find their fruition, and Those they 
sought, apparently in vain, are now their instructors ; the eager 
souls drink in the heavenly wisdom, and swift their growth and 
progress as they sit at their Master's feet. As teachers and as light-
bringers shall they be born again on earth, born with the birthmark 
of the teacher's high office upon them."
