‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London

The question was asked if it were possible to establish communication with the dead, and whether it was wise or advisable to attend séances or to engage in table-turning, spirit-rapping, etc.

The Master said these rappings, etc., were all material things, and of the body. What is needed is to rise above the material to the realms of the purely Spiritual. Table-turning and such like 73 were material, a natural result, and not spiritual.

But it was possible to communicate with the dead through the condition of the character and the heart.
