62souls ; by this method the lives of human marriages are prostituted. The Divine marriage is thesoul knowledge of each other.”Q.: “Supposing a man marries two wives, and that both are full attachments. What will bethe fate of the second wife ?”A.: “The one that is the stronger will cling to the man with a stronger force than the other ; Imean stronger spiritual attachment.”Q.: “What is to prevent all three living harmoniously together ?”A.: “It would be pleasanter for two than for three. Can you imagine that here ?”Q.: “imagine what ?”A.: “Freedom from the human love impulse. The lives are progressive ; the instincts wecarry there the same as we do in this phase. You go from one phase to another. There are twinsouls that have been separated centuries finally reunited. The separation was caused in the firstinstance by a crime against that love union, one being weaker to yield to the importunities of thebeguiling tongue. Infidelities are punished in this manner. There are many unfaithful soulmates,separated, seeking through space and the infinite distance for each other—groping in thedark.”Q.: “But supposing one only is guilty ?”A.: “The one who is guiltless finds relief in a few centuries of peace and happiness withanother who is innocent and unpaired. Now this is the same way in the case of the second wife orhusband stage. The spirit of youth that went with the first marriage, often in the second one hassimmered down to a calm dish of peaceful content. You can try in the dark if you want” (this inanswer to conversation).(The lights were put out.)Q.: “Why cannot the spirit see the lines in the dark ?”A.: “I can’t take the time to figure out the space, and another thing I want to say is that Ihave tried to prove my identity, and I think I have tested this quite freely. I know it is done tosatisfy the Society. You have no idea how far I can go in this ; but I have exhausted the force inexplaining this to you now in this way. I will tell you that your friend Sir —— —— was knightedin 1897. (Correct.) He is a fellow of the Royal Society ; he has written a book. (Correct.) Ihave proved that I know I am telling the truth. I will say good.”(Lit the lights. Found that the writing, as on a previous occasion, was a little wider apartthan the writing in full light.)“It is 8.18. I don’t like my girl dressed in black. I hate black. [Mrs. Georgia wentupstairs and changed into a red robe.] I love red, it is the Astral colour. Give your guest yourseal ring, and before he goes ask him for it. Put it on his finger. I want the ring to have hismagnetism. Then my girl will have a link ; then I can come to her. You can write her, and shewill let you know if I come. Oh! There is a guide here that says Mrs. Georgia must write, as mygirl’s work must not be interfered with. They have planned a great work for her. [This is areference to a play that Mrs. Georgia was writing at that time, and which turned out a success.]No, I mean this : if I can come without you, I will, just to test her out. Mrs. Georgia is to haveyour address ; then when I come she will write you. Then you send a question ; think of me at acertain time—then I will come to you. I think it funereal [referring to the black dress]. I dothink her lovely, if not beautiful, poor child !” (This is in allusion to the joke of Mrs. Georgia andthe compliment paid her by Hudson the night before.)Q.: “I hope to be back in February. Could we not have a series of sittings ?”A.: By all means, if you will have your questions all written down ; show them to me everynight I am with you. I am the guide of the Admiral, and I am going away with him. I met him inthis house, and I am waiting two years for someone to bring me strong enough. I did not knowhim before I waited here on her doorstep.”Q.: “Why did you not come in before ?”A.: “Because this gentleman has the same interest, the same idea of writing ; because nosensitive was strong enough in a mental sense. By this I mean this ; my girl has a keen, yes a keenintelligence that attracts. My rhetoric and grammar are weak, that’s all.”
