Spiritualism is a philosophy of yesterday: Spiritualism rejects reincarnation, Spiritism accepts it.

There are two kinds of Spiritualists: There are genuine Spiritualists, who believe in the immortality of the spirit and the possibility of the living communicating with the spirits of the departed, either through pure mediums or by means of the Secret Science. And there are those fanatical Spiritualists, who blindly accept the claims of every “spirit.”

But there is a far lesser abyss between the Spiritualists and the Theosophists than there is between the Protestants and the Roman Catholics. Spiritism is as opposed to our teachings as is Occultism to those of Allan Kardec. It is the Spiritists who would doom the Divine Monad to a terrible torment, filled with gross earthly experiences, without the smallest ray of spirituality to enlighten them!
