From the introductory: Spiritualism, and Its General Teachings.
Man, a thinking, reasoning, and morally responsible being, is the
crowning glory of God. He is furthermore a trinity in structure,
made up of the soul, of a spiritual and of an earthly body. The
soul, the conscious innermost of man, is a potentialized portion of
the deific life, incarnated in the material body for a more potent
individualization, and for necessary experiences in the realm of
matter. Death, just as natural in a ripe old age as birth, is the
severing of the co-partnership existing between the spiritual and
the earthly body. Man is naturally a religious being, and the seals
of his manhood are consciousness and intuition, reason and
aspiration. And further, man desires to live again; desires to meet
his friends in the higher life; desires to know and love them, and
with them progress through eternity.
