200- Are spirits male and female?
“Not as you understand it, because sex depends on organic composition. Love and sympathy exist among spirits, but they are based on the affinity of sentiments.”
201- Can a spirit who has animated the body of a man animate the body of a woman in a new existence, and vice-versa?
“Yes, since the same spirit can animate both male and female bodies.”
202- When we are spirits, do we have a preference as to whether we will incarnate into a male or a female body?
“It matters little to a spirit: it depends on the trials it must undergo.”
Because they are sexless, spirits can incarnate as either men or women. Since they must progress in every way, each sex, like each social position, offers them special trials, duties and new opportunities to acquire experience. The one who always incarnated as a man would only know what men know.
