Reincarnation On Trial

London psychic-medium of the latter 1800s, Robert James Lees, gained fame with his work on the Jack The Ripper case. He claimed to know the identity of the murderer.
Lees enjoyed contact with the Spirit World since early childhood as a Spirit person would appear to him and sing him to sleep. Later, in adulthood, Spirit persons would come to Lees in his study, sit in a chair, and simply converse, as any two might.
In his channeled work, “The Life Elysian” (1905), Lees asserts that reincarnation is a product of the immature mind, not having looked at the matter with sufficient care.
He quotes a Guide in Summerland:
It will be altogether impossible to deal exhaustively with the question of reincarnation at this time, but let me briefly say that it is a subject for which in my earth life I felt much sympathy and have made wide inquiries concerning it since crossing the boundary, with this result: among the souls who are still subjected to earth conditions – from whom all experiences have to be received with caution, and not acted upon until they are confirmed from more reliable sources – there are many who honestly think reincarnation to be a fact, and teach it to be so; among those who have passed away from these conditions and learned to accept truth for its own sake, who know and study, tracing origins and sequences many of them through unsuspected ages beyond the rise of history, I have been unable to meet with one holding the theory of rebirth to be true.
The origin of the idea is to be found in savage superstition. Without a definite knowledge of immortality and equally certain that there is more in man than simply body, it has always been a problem to the untutored mind as to what happens when the body ceases to breathe and begins to grow offensive from decomposition. The philosophy of ignorance is always expeditious, and the savage solved the problem by allowing a new-born child to inhale the breath of a dying man, and the departing life was thus provided with another body, in which to continue its existence. From this crude beginning the idea of transmigration of souls has been worked over and over in various ways with much philosophical reasoning and speculation, but it stands still where we found it – a baseless superstition, alike at variance with the law, love and purpose of God…
God has made provision to meet every just requirement that can possibly arise by far more expeditious and less cumbrous means than such a circuitous and hypothetical system. It must always be borne in mind that all the requirements of God from men are based upon justice…
My conclusion is that serious and deep research is required before one will see that reincarnation is false. Superficial study does lend great credence to it, and as a result, many whose research is not sufficiently deep are convinced of its veracity.
'God has made provision to meet every just requirement that can possibly arise by far more expeditious and less cumbrous means than such a circuitous and hypothetical system.'
Yes, God has already made provision to rehabilitate the wayward, and it is not reincarnation. Lees further quotes the Guide who attests that the Dark Realms, not a place of punishment, is part of God's educational system over there.
75% of those crossing over spend some time in a dark place; be it a day or thousands of years, the duration issuing as a function of one's willingness, or lack thereof, to ask for help and to be taught.
Whatever the length of time, people come out of the Dark Realms ready to learn, fitted for a spiritual life in Summerland. This system works well. And reincarnational doctrine is a gross fraud and fake-news.
