I do not believe that spirits are always better situated to give us advice on any matter. They may perhaps be better qualified in some cases; even then their counsel must be verified by our own knowledge of the facts before we are justified in accepting and following it implicitly. The vice of the interested person is that he or she assumes spirits to have special fitness for knowing more than the living. This is an illusion of the older religious view. It assumed that escape from the body entailed infinite knowledge at once. There is no ground whatever for any such assumption. The contrary might be true, for all we know. So far from knowing more after death, a man might even know less or he might simply live on the capital of his past experience. This latter view is certainly supported by the earthbound condition. The man or woman so affected lives a dream life based upon the contents of his sensuous memory and· these memories appear, as they do in our dreams, as hallucinations which the subject of them takes for reality, and in that condition he or she is not in any respect qualified to give advice, especially spiritual advice. I do not believe that all the discarnate live in this manner to the same degree and it is not requisite for us to solve that problem in order to realize what caution we should exercise in accepting and acting ripon the advice of spirits, especially those recently passed. It would be like following the advice of insane people instead of the rational. There was no lofty point of view, no ethical insight or spiritual appreciation, on the part of the <strong>com</strong>municator in this instance, who was planning a marriage of his living wife. He was ready with a fixed idea to reduce her distress by any device that hit upon his fancy and he did not reckon with risks which were fundamental and less did he reckon with the need of a spiritual point of view for his wife. He did not get above material pleasures and advantages in anything that he said or did. Consequently I do not know a better illustration in my experience with mediums, except one other much like it, to enforce the lesson of letting the advice of spirits alone in this subject. unless we can prove it wise on our own knowledge. We are ultimately responsible for action on our own judgment and we Digitized by Goog I e

Wisdom is not passive obedience, but the active employment of our own understanding, and we never attain spiritual development until we can rely upon our own intelligence for the direction of our conduct.
