238 ALLAN KARDEC answer this appeal; for all good spirits are brothers, and assist each other." 505. Are the spirit-guardians who take well-known names always the persons who bore those names? "No; but they are spirits who are in sympathy with them, and who, in many cases, come by their order. You require names; they therefore take a name that will inspire you with confidence. When you are unable to execute a commission in person, you send some one in your place, who acts in your name." 506. When we are in the spirit-life, shall we recognise our spirit-guardian ? "Yes; for it is often a spirit whom you knew before being incarnated." 507. Do all spirit-guardians belong to the higher classes of spirits? Are they sometimes found among those of average advancement? Can a father, for example, become the spirit-guardian of his child? "He may do so; but such guardianship presupposes a certain degree of elevation, and, in addition, a power ()r virtue granted by God. A father who watches over his child may himself be assisted by a spirit of more elevated degree." 508. Can all spirits who have quitted the earth under favourable conditions become the protectors of those whom they love among their survivors? "Their power is more or less narrowed by their position, which does not always leave them full liberty of action." 509. Have savages, and men who are very low as regards their moral state, their spiritguardians? and if so, are these spirits of as high an order as those of men who are more advanced? "Every man has a spirit who watches over him; but missions are always proportional to their object. You do not give a professor of philosophy to a child who is only learning to read. The advancement of the familiar spirit is always proportioned to that of the spirit he protects. While you yourself have a spirit of higher degree who watches over you, you may, in your turn, become the protector of a spirit who is lower than you; and the progress you help him to make will contribute to your own advancement. God does not demand of any spirit more than is consistent with his nature, and with the degree at which he has arrived."
239 THE SPIRITS’ BOOK 510. When a father who watches over his child is reincarnated, does he still continue to watch over him? "His task, in that case, becomes more difficult; but, in a moment of freedom, he asks some sympathetic spirit to assist him in accomplishing it. But spirits do not undertake missions which they cannot carry on to the end. "A spirit, when incarnated, especially in worlds in which existence is grossly material, is too much fettered by his body to be able to devote himself entirely to another-that is to say, to give him personally all the help he needs. For this reason, those who are not sufficiently elevated to suffice for the work of guardianship are themselves assisted by spirits of higher degree, so that if, from any cause, the help of one spirit should fail, his place is supplied by another." 511. Is there, besides the spirit-guardian, an evil spirit attached to each individual for the purpose of exciting him to evil, thus of furnishing him with the opportunity of struggling between good and evil? 'It would not be correct to say 'attached.' It is very true that bad spirits endeavour to draw you out of the right road when they find an opportunity of doing so; but when one of them attaches himself to an individual, he does so of his own accord, because he hopes to be listened to. In such a case, there is a struggle between the good and the evil spirit, and the victory remains with the one to whose influence the man has voluntarily subjected himself." 512. May we have several protecting spirits? "Every man has always about him a number of sympathetic spirits of more or less elevation, who interest themselves in him from affection, as he also has others who help him to do evil." 513. Do spirits who are sympathetic to an individual act upon him in virtue of a mission to that effect? "In some cases they may have a temporary mission; but, in general, they are only drawn to an individual by similarity of sentiments in good or in evil." - It would seem, then, that sympathetic spirits may be either good or bad? "Yes; a man is always surrounded by spirits who are in sympathy with him, whatever may be his character."
