No gratification of animal appetites?

Is it possible for spirits in low condition to gratify the animal appetites they acquired on earth?

No, no, were such the case, there would be no punishment. If the spirit had been one addicted to drunkenness when on earth, and got what he desired of wine in the spirit world, he would be content, he would not be likely to leave such a sphere, he would be comparatively happy. Our friend Steen may pretend to give wine to the medium, but what you see is not its effect, it is merely a biological effect, and can be dispelled at once in the trance or disappear on the medium getting into the normal state. 

Steen or I could make wine, but not to intoxicate. 

We could draw the deadliest poison from the atmosphere, and touching our medium with it, he would drop down and become as stiff as a corpse, but yet we could not keep him there, he would recover on coming out of trance. 

But though deprived of the means of satisfying their animal desires, these degraded beings still have a sort of happiness in their intercourse with kindred spirits. 

But take one of them from amongst his companions, one unchanged in mind, and place him among those in a higher and holier condition, and the result would be misery. 

He would never be able to endure it.
