根据艾曼丽的观点，圣洗圣事恩宠的光辉，是接受异象和启示之光的首要条件，也是人与超性世界进展的一种能力，而这种能力被亚当的堕落所阻碍，即:与超性世界沟通的能力，且不妨碍身体与灵魂间和谐自然的关系，“每个”领洗的信徒当拥有的能力；

but, if we may so speak, it is hidden in his soul ; he cannot of himself overleap the barrier which separates the regions of sense from those beyond.

但是，是否我们可以这样说，这奥秘隐藏在人的灵魂中，他自己也无法跨越那道将感觉区域与其他区域分隔开来的屏障。

God alone by the infusion of superior light, can remove this barrier from the path of His elect; but seldom is such light granted, for few there are who rigorously fulfil the conditions exacted.

只有天主藉着超性之光的注入，才能将这道屏障从祂选民的道路上除去；但是这样的光很少有人被给予，因为很少有人能严格履行所要求的条件。

We may here remark that, according to the teachings of the great theologians, the principles and theory of contemplation laid down by Pope Benedict XIV.to serve as a basis for the judgment of the Church, there exists no such thing as natural contemplation. Pope Benedict in no way requires a natural disposition thereto as a favorable condition for the infusion of prophetic light, the light of prophecy.

在此，我们可以指出，根据伟大神学家的教导，教宗本笃十四世制定的默观原则和理论，作为教会判断的依据，根本不存在天生的默观这一回事。教宗本笃绝不要求把天然的默观能力作为注入先知之光、预言之光的有利条件。  

There is no such thing as the development of a natural faculty into the so-called clairvoyance.

All phenomena produced in this region are, without exception, either simply the result of morbid perturbations, as in animal somnambulism, and consequently, in themselves something extremely imperfect or even abnormal ; or they are an over excitation of the mental powers and, thereby, an extension of the sensible faculty of apperception artificially produced by the action of mesmerism at the expense of the more elevated powers of the soul ;

根本不存在把天然的能力发展成所谓的超然的占卜能力这回事。在这个范围产生的所有现象，无一例外，要么只是病态干扰的结果，如在无意识行为的梦游症中，因此，其本身是极其不完美的，甚至不正常的现象；要么它们是精神力量的过度兴奋，因此，是以牺牲灵魂更高的力量为代价，通过催眠的行为而人为产生的感知能力的延伸；

or, in fine, we may recognize in them a demoniacal clairvoyance to which mesmeric clairvoyance necessarily and profound degradation into which the human soul is plunged by mesmeric influence can have no other result. It is only in abandoning the truth: viz., the doctrine of the human soul, as set forth by the great Doctors, upheld and followed by the Church in her process of canonization, that we can fall into the erroneous and dangerous hypothesis of natural clairvoyance and support false theories upon facts less certain, less positively attested.

总而言之，我们可以在他们身上看到一种恶魔般的占卜能力，而通灵占卜术必然会导致人灵因催眠术的影响而陷入深层的堕落，它不会有其它结果。只有抛弃真理：即抛弃由伟大的教会圣师们所提出的、教会在她的宣圣列品过程中所坚持和遵循的人灵的教理，我们才会陷入通灵术的错误和危险的假设，才会在不太确定、不太明确的事实上支持错误的理论。
