From The Philosophy of Spiritual

lntercourse

By Andrew Jackson Davis

"Spiritualism is useful as a living demonstration 

of the future of my existence.  Spirits have

aided me many times, but they do not control

either my person or my reason.  They can and 

do perform kindly offices for those on earth, but

 benefits can only be secured on the condition

that we allow them to become our teachers and

not our Masters - that we accept them as 

companions, not as Gods to be worshiped.
