It is written in the Spiritist Review of November 1860 (“Affectionate Relations of the Spirits”):
“If Georges had been one of those vulgar or systematic minds who express their own ideas without worrying about their accuracy or falsity, we would not have given it the slightest importance. Because of his usual wisdom and depth, one might suppose there was some truth at the heart of this theory, but that the thought had not been fully expressed. Indeed, this is what results from the explanations we have requested. We have, therefore, further proof that nothing should be accepted without having subjected it to the control of reason; and here reason and facts tell us that such a theory could not be absolute.”.
[…]Simple common sense tells us, therefore, that the situation discussed is relative and not absolute; that it may occur for some under certain circumstances, but it could not be general, because otherwise it would be the greatest obstacle to the progress of the Spirit and, for this very reason, would not be in accordance with God's justice or goodness. Evidently, Georges' Spirit only considered one phase of errancy, in which, to put it better, he restricted the meaning of the term "wanderer" to a certain category of Spirits, instead of applying it, as we do, indiscriminately to all unincarnated Spirits.”
This is yet another lesson for our dialogues with the Spirits. The same challenges that Kardec faced, we too will face. The point is that, based on what Kardec already studied, we have a principle, a starting point, and we don't get lost, not knowing how to react.
Once again, Kardec's common sense calls us to reason about the need to blindly accept *NOTHING*, always considering all the difficulties involved in spirit communications. Once again, the return to Kardecian common sense contrasts sharply with what the current Spiritist Movement does and teaches.
