| Sex in Spirits | |
| 200. Have spirits sex? "Not as you understand sex; for sex, in that sense, depends on the corporeal organisation. Love and sympathy exist among them, but founded on similarity of sentiments." 201. Can a spirit, who has animated the body of a man, animate the body of a woman in a new existence, and vice-versa ? "Yes; the same spirits animate men and women." 202. Does a spirit, when existing in the spirit-world, prefer to be incarnated as a man or as a woman? "That is a point in regard to which a spirit is indifferent, and which is always decided in view of the trials which he has to undergo in his new corporeal life." Spirits incarnate themselves as men or as women, because they are of no sex. As it is necessary for them to develop themselves in every direction, each sex, as well as each variety of social position, furnish them with special trials and duties, and with new opportunities of acquiring experience. A spirit who had always incarnated itself as a man would known only that which the men know, and vice-versa.
