Spiritualism versus Spiritism - Addendum

25 • Even though the soul takes all its character traits with it to the realm of the spirit, it soon acquires a different mentality, because it lives a different life there.

(Comment: Shakespeare, the great English poet, was aware of the WORLD of the SPIRIT and he expressed this knowledge in almost all of his works.)
