This section is from the book "Life in the Great Beyond or the Law of Life and Death", by A. Victor Segno. Also available from Amazon: Life in the great beyond; or, The law of life and death.
Those souls that reach the earth during the last half of March and the first half of April come from Ahdo. They are a martial people with a spirit of determination that forces them to victory or death. Often undecided as to a career to follow, but once this indecision is overcome and they see their duty, they are content to follow it at any cost. Naturally strong and full of power they become leaders of the other tribes they find on the earth. Being strong and resourceful themselves they have little sympathy with weakness in others. They are most often conquered by their own passions, for being egotistical they deliberately ignore the frailties of those they love and thus lay themselves at the feet of deception. They are extravagant in the use of the goods of the earth, and the women, though natural leaders, fritter away money with an obstinate determination that brooks no restraint. They demand independence and become irritated at the slightest intimation of disapproval or restriction. They love adventure and intrigue.
The men find their greatest expression in politics and war. They are careless of their physical body, subjecting it to unnecessary danger, for which indifference they must pay to nature her price. Theirs is a life of emotions and sensations - joy or sorrow - and they depend more upon what they feel than upon what they know. The curiosity to peep behind the scenes of life takes them into strange places and they evolve unique theories respecting the future after death.
Their life on the earth is not a smooth one, for they would not have it so. Better suffering than no sensations at all. They are highly strung and the strings of their nature must be kept vibrating, hence they indulge in the bad as well as the good, for the experience it gives them. Action, action, action, seems to be their keynote. They are ever trying for that which seems out of their reach. Love in its true sense is more or less of a stranger to them. They are more fiery, passionate and demonstrative than affectionate and are not suited for the responsibilities of married life. These people are much misunderstood by the other tribes and are more to be pitied than censured because of their nature. This, however, will be toned and refined in the fire of their own passions in the passing through the calmer spheres.
