Reincarnation(Medium Mr. de Grand-Boulogne)
There is logic in the doctrine of reincarnation that does not escape your
understanding. Since only the physical is compatible with acts of virtue
and since those acts are necessary to the betterment of the spirit, the
latter will barely find the necessary circumstances required to its progress
above humanity in one existence only.
Considering that God’s justice is incompatible with the doctrine of
the eternal penalties, reason must conclude that there is the need for:
1st – A time frame during which the spirit examines its past and
make resolutions regarding the future;
2nd – A new existence, according to the current condition of
that spirit. I don’t talk about the sufferings, sometimes terrible, to
which certain spirits are condemned, during the period of errant
state; they are, on one hand, related to the enormity of faults, and
on another hand, to God’s justice. This says enough, avoiding
the need for details that you shall find, as a matter of fact, in the
study of the evocations. Let us go back to the reincarnations and
you will understand its need through a common but very true
comparison.
What happens to a young college student after one year of studies? If he
has made progress he shall then advance to the next level; if he remained
stationary in his ignorance, he shall be left behind. Let us go further. If his
faults were serious, he is expelled. He can wander from college to college,
even expelled from the University or move from a place of education to a
place of correction. That is an accurate image of the fate of the spirits, and
there is nothing more logical.
Would you like to perform a more in-depth study of the doctrine? It
will be seen in these ideas how much more perfect God’s justice seems
to be and also more in agreement with the greatest truths that dominate
our intelligence. There is something so exciting about this, in general
and in the details that someone who is initiated with the doctrine for
the first time feels illuminated. The criticism to God’s Providence; the
curse against the sufferings; the scandalous and happy addiction before
the painful virtue; the premature death of the child; remarkable qualities
hand in hand with an early evilness, in the heart of the same family; the
born with diseases; the infinite diversity of fates of individuals as well as
peoples, hitherto insoluble problems, enigmas which lead people to doubt
God’s benevolence and almost doubt his existence, all that is explained at
once. A pure ray of light is shed upon the horizon of the new philosophy,
and every circumstance of human existence is harmoniously grouped in
its generous land. Difficulties are smoothed out, problems resolved, and
mysteries up until now impenetrable are broken down and explained by
this simple word: reincarnation. I read your thoughts, dear Christian. You
say: That is a real heresy! It is too much!
No more than the denial of the eternal penalties, my child. What is
human life? The period when the spirit remains attached to the body. On
the God chosen day, the Christian philosophers shall not have any difficulty
in saying that life is multiple. That does not add or change anything
in your duties.
The Christian moral stands and the memories of Jesus’s mission hovers
upon humanity. Religion has nothing to fear regarding that teaching,
and the day is not far when the ministers will open their eyes to light.
They will finally acknowledge in the new revelation the much-expected
help, claimed from the end of their basilicas. They believe that society
shall perish, but it will be saved.
