19. I believe that the human soul essentially contains all knowledge, and that whatever know- ledge she acquires in the present life, is nothing more than a recovery of what she once possessed ; and which discipline evocates from its dormant re- treats. 20. I also believe that the soul is punished in a future for the crimes she has committed in the present life; but that this punishment is propor- tioned to the crimes, and is not perpetual ; divi- nity punishing, not from anger or revenge, but ...in 36 order to purify the guilty soul, and restore her to the proper perfection of her nature. 21. I also believe that the human soul on its de- parture from the present life, will, if not properly purified, pass into other terrene bodies; and that if it passes into a human body, it becomes the soul of that body ; but if into the body of a brute, it does not become the soul of the brute, but is ex- ternally connected with the brutal soul in the same manner as presiding daemons are connected in their beneficent operations with mankind ; for the rational part never becomes the soul of the irra- tional nature.
