Life on Earth
Spirit visibility of human thoughts Agree: 1 Disagree: 0
241 Spirits see our most secret thoughts as humans though they never judge or interfere with those thoughts. Question 501: Why is the influence of spirits on us hidden? And why isn't their protection readily apparent to us? Answer: If you counted heavily on their support, you would not be acting on your own accord and your spirit would not progress. In order to advance you need to acquire experience, often at your own expense. You need to exercise your powers otherwise, you will be like a child who is never allowed to walk by itself. The influence of the spirits who desire your welfare is always regulated in such a way as to leave you your free will... — The Spirits Book: Modern English Edition, Allan Kardec
