What reasons other than self-deception, self-assurance, and self-flattery are there for sweeping away the idea of terror, punishment, and the inexorable law of Abstract Justice that has for ages been held to be implicit in the life hereafter? The sceptic is indeed justified when, after reading reams of well-meant pseudo-religious twaddle, he asks the supporters of the new revelation: “And _why_ should it all be _couleur de rose_?” Faith may do many things, but Faith cannot make black white--even in the realm of the spirit. There is good reason to suppose that in the past many revelations concerning sex-life in the spirit plane have been suppressed or destroyed. The well-meaning Spiritualist with mediumistic gifts or the capacity for automatic writing does not always get the precise kind of spirit teaching expected. On the other hand, there is a wide difference between the meaningless obscenities that are sometimes sent and various coherent statements that can be classed as definite revelations. The private operator, knowing little of the matters with which he or she is dealing, is frequently ashamed to let these strange, frank manuscripts or records be seen by others. Often they are shown to a wrong person, classed as evil spirit writings, and the great question that animates the spirit world: “Should mortals be told?” again goes on. At a séance held in Paris some interesting statements concerning the psychic world were vouchsafed by a spirit calling itself Zaza Guilbert. There were five of us at the table and two of the party were practised automatists. First came some personal particulars of the spirit. She was born near Grenoble, in Dauphine, in 1826, but was in Paris when Napoleon the Third was proclaimed Emperor (1852) and was employed with theatrical dressmaking. She married and left two girl children. It was the question: “Is life in the spirit world as gay and gallant[23] as it was in those days in this sphere?” that set the ball rolling. A. That depends on how you look at things. We are men and women over here in so far as that goes. Q. Is life on the spirit plane sexless? A. Certainly not! (Emphasis conveyed by violent knocking of the table.) Q. (By one of the ladies of the party.) Is there childbirth in the spirit world? A. Not in the same way as on earth. (No answer was returned to some further inquiries on this subject.) Q. Is there separation of the sexes? A. No; it would be intolerable. Q. Is morality of earth binding on the spirit plane? A. No; that would be still more intolerable. Q. Have you a husband there? A. No; several affinities. Q. Intellectual affinities only? A. By no means. Q. Can you compare the relationship to any earthly parallel? A. Yes. Living _une vie de demi-mondaine sans reproche_. Q. Do all spirits enjoy life in this manner? A. It is not obligatory. Q. (By one of the ladies.) Are there scandals in the spirit world? A. Sometimes. Q. Are they due to moral censure of higher spirits?
