Description
Excerpt from Modern Spiritualism: Its Facts and Fanaticisms, Its Consistencies and Contradictions, With an Appendix
The entire separation, made by the old philosophy and theology, between Spirit and matter, has led thousands of philosophical minds to reject all idea of any existence of persons beyond the tangible form which men now occupy. They have failed entirely of obtaining, from old traditions, proof which looked rational to them of any such existence. The great difficulty in the way of such minds, as before intimated, is the great break in the chain between tangible and (to us) intangible substance. The fact that men could not, in a normal state, see the more refined substance to which we give the name spirit, has led theologians to declare that there was an existence, not only intangible, but absolutely something beyond, and entirely separate from, matter.
