7476. Among the spirits who originate from the planets in our solar system those from Mars are the best of all. For the most part they are celestial people, not unlike those belonging to the Most Ancient Church on our planet, who were the subject in 1114-1125, and other places. When a representation is made of what those spirits are like, they are represented face in heaven and body in the world of spirits. And those of them who are angels are represented face towards the Lord and body in heaven.
