Analyzing received mediumistic communications is as important as receiving and applying them. Comparative study of these communications and the Spiritist Doctrine allows us to determine whether they are valid or not. Furthermore, it helps us better understand the world around us.

In one of our conversations with the Spirits in September 2025, we received the following communication from one of the Friendly Spirits who assist us:

Question: Regarding these efforts, it sometimes seems like they don't find many willing people out there. I'd like an assessment of how things are going.

Response: Calm and resilience. It wasn't easy for Kardec either. With all the distortions now found in this world. With materialism even more pervasive than it was in Kardec's time.

Little by little, with our intervention—and you can be sure we're working on this—people will feel our presence. Even if we have to start the same way we did in Kardec's century: knocking, calling.

We have this urgent need for a fresh start. And you will be sought out by many who suffer because they don't understand what we want to convey.

Prepare yourselves for this wave of people who will receive our encouragement in every way. Because you will be the ones who open the doors to a new beginning. Don't be intimidated by the responsibility. Just do what you know you should do. Understand that there are many people who agree with what you write, with what you say. They will open other doors and receive the same responsibility.

There is not a single being, not a single consciousness, that will not be questioned. I didn't want to use the word disturbed, but it means something you will understand. There is not a single consciousness that will not be disturbed by the world that is here, this spiritual world.

We are coordinating several groups. There are others above me, morally superior, who send us these messages and make us act so that the world awakens— at least a large number of people awaken to this absolute truth that is the spiritual world.

AND Escape from the mysticism, the inconsistencies, the false truths that have taken root in this vast literature you have on your shelves, in your bookstores, which you call by fanciful titles, which you think speak of the spiritual world. Do not lose the path that has opened before you. 

I wish for everyone to be the light of God. What I have always said, I communicate to you. Spread this light. Yes, be the light of God. Because here we are all the light of God.

— Friendly Spirit

All: Thank you very much. What a great boost of encouragement.

The message of this Friendly Spirit presents several points that find resonance and elucidation in the works of Allan Kardec, especially regarding the nature of spiritual communication, the propagation of Spiritism and the responsibility of the incarnate in this process.

Let us analyze this Spirit's message point by point, in light of the teachings of the Spiritist Doctrine:

1. “"People will gradually feel our presence through our intervention—and you can be sure we are working on it."”

  • This statement is fully aligned with what Kardec and the Higher Spirits teach. Spirits act incessantly upon us, often without our knowledge, whether we are Spiritists or mediums. They form a restless population that thinks and acts incessantly, influencing us for good or ill. Spiritism reveals this invisible world and its action upon the visible world. Higher Spirits have a mission to preside over the regeneration of Humanity and direct the work, even without being incarnated. Therefore, the idea that Spirits actively work to make their presence felt is a pillar of the doctrine.

2. “"Even if it means starting the same way we did in Kardec's century. Knocking, calling. We have this urgent need to start over."”

  • Here, the Spirit refers to the overt physical manifestations, such as the phenomena of turning tables and noises, which were the beginnings of Spiritism. Kardec recognizes that these manifestations, although superficial, had their usefulness. They served as a "vestibule of science," an initial means of convincing people of the existence of spirits. Kardec himself mentions that "who makes monkeys dance in the streets? Are men superior?" questioning the origin of such simpler manifestations, but admitting that "they have their usefulness, because perhaps more than any other they can serve to convince men today." The guiding spirits, however, soon turned their focus to philosophy and morality, indicating that the strength of Spiritism lies in reason and common sense, not just in material phenomena. Thus, the “urgent need for a new beginning” through physical phenomena can be seen as a strategy to draw the attention of unbelievers, an initial step to awaken curiosity and then lead to the serious study of the doctrine.

3. "And you will be sought out by many who suffer because they don't understand what we want to convey. Prepare yourselves for this wave of people who will receive our encouragement in every way. Because you will be the ones who open the doors to a new beginning."

  • This prediction of the Spirit is very much agree with the purposes of Spiritism and the experience reported by Kardec. The doctrine aims to console those who suffer, raise the courage of the dejected, and lift people from their passions and despair. Spiritism, because of its logic and ability to explain what other philosophies cannot, attracts those seeking truth and consolation. Mediums, as interpreters of the Spirits, fulfill the mission of instructing people and leading them to faith. The spread of Spiritism often occurs because it "gives what other philosophies cannot." The message also reflects the idea that followers, once enlightened, have the mission to spread the light around them, without imposing, but rather offering explanations to those who seek them in good faith.

4. “Don’t be afraid of the responsibility. Just do what you know you should do. See how many people agree with what you write, with what you say. These people will open other doors and receive the same responsibility.”

  • Responsibility is a recurring theme in Spiritist doctrine. Mediums, being favored with the mediumistic faculty, are reminded that they will be "severely punished" if they deviate from its moral objective. The propagation of Spiritist ideas implies the "duty of practice" and of honoring the doctrine through deeds. Agreement of ideas and public testimony are signs that the doctrine is touching hearts and minds, validating the work of the mediums. The multiplication of groups and the adherence of people who have read and understood are vital for propagation, and these new adherents also assume the responsibility of spreading the light, as "apostles".

5. “There is not a single being, not a single consciousness, that will not be questioned. I didn’t want to use the word disturbed, but it means something you will understand. There is not a single consciousness that will not be disturbed by the world that is here, this spiritual world.”

  • This observation of the Communicating Spirit is deeply consistent with the Spiritist vision of the constant interaction between the two worlds. The invisible “spiritual world” that surrounds us exerts a continuous action on us, both morally and physically. Spirits are not passive; they think and act incessantly, influencing us. This influence, even from good Spirits, stimulates our conscience, leading us to reflect and progress. “Disturbance” can be interpreted not as something necessarily negative (like an obsession), but as a awakening of consciousness to the spiritual reality, which challenges materialistic ideas and old certainties. Spiritism is precisely this light that illuminates the recesses of society and dispels the darkness of disbelief. It is a "beam of light" that dispels materialism.

6. "We are coordinating several groups. There are others above me, morally superior, who send us these messages and encourage us to act so that the world awakens. At least a large number of people awaken to this absolute truth that is the spiritual world."

  • This part of the message reinforces the hierarchical and organized structure of the spiritual world, as described by Kardec. Spirits teach that there is a diversity of knowledge and moral qualities among them. Spirits of different orders exist, from the "inferior, ignorant ones" to the "superior" ones, who can give instructions. The "Spirit of Truth" is one of the main guides, and there are "great Spirits who have received the mission to preside over the regeneration of Humanity." The coordination of groups and the reception of messages from morally superior Spirits are characteristics of serious work in Spiritism. The ultimate goal is the "perfection of the moral human being" and the destruction of materialism, leading Humanity to recognize the "absolute truth that is the spiritual world." The multiplication of groups and the propagation of the doctrine are means to achieve this global awakening.

7. “"And leave behind the mysticism, the inconsistencies, the false truths that have taken root in that vast literature you have on your shelves, in bookstores, which call for fantastical titles, which they think speak of the spiritual world."”

  • Criticism of mysticism and false truths: Kardec always emphasized that Spiritism is not a blind belief, but a doctrine that appeals to reason and common sense. He warns against the practice of Spiritism that deviates from its moral objective, falling into sterile curiosity. The doctrine speaks a clear language, without ambiguities and without mysticism or allegories susceptible to misinterpretation, for "the time has come for men to know the truth.".
  •     Inconsistencies and contradictions: the instructing Spirits themselves, cited by Kardec, warn that one will find bitter contradictors and even Spirits who seek to sow doubt through malice or ignorance. There are Spirits with limited ideas and others who believe they know everything and want to explain everything in their own way, generating dissenting opinions. Therefore, Spiritism teaches that communications must be subjected to the scrutiny of logic and reason, and that one should not blindly accept everything that comes from the Spirits, because they say what they know and do not always possess the absolute truth. Kardec, when codifying, based himself on the universal agreement of the teachings of the Spirits, obtained through multiple mediums in different regions, as the only serious guarantee against contradictions and partial systems.
  •     “"The vast amount of literature you have on the shelves of your bookstores, which you call out for with extravagant titles": This reflects the concern about the proliferation of works that, although they present themselves as spiritualist, may contain extravagances or be the result of obsession, lending themselves to ridicule and giving weapons to the enemies of the causeKardec warned against the danger of recklessly disseminating apocryphal communications or those that, due to their inferiority, do not contribute to enlightenment. True knowledge and true virtue cannot be imitated by ignorance and vice.

8. “"Do not lose the path that has opened before you."”

  •     The "path" of Spiritism: For Kardec, Spiritism is a path of enlightenment and moral progress, with the mission of combat unbelief and its dire consequences, providing clear proof of the existence of the soul and the afterlife. He presents himself as a powerful helper, confirming its fundamental truths and explaining what Christ could not say in his time because Humanity was not mature enough to understand.
  •     Losing the way: It would involve deviating from the principles of true charity It's from personal disinterest, ...or the pursuit of moral improvement. Mediums, for example, are warned that if they deviate from their moral purpose in mediumship, they will be severely punished. The emphasis is on becoming better, because the only way to advance is to become better.

9. “I wish that everyone may be the light of God. What I have always said, I communicate to you. Spread this light. Be, yes, the light of God. Because here we are all the light of God.”

  •     To be and spread the “light of God”: This is the fundamental mission of the spiritists and the doctrine itself. The Superior Spirits are the ministers of God and agents of His will, with the mission of instructing and enlightening men, opening a new era for the regeneration of humanity. The followers are called to preach the divine word. They must water with their sweat the ground where they sow, for the doctrine will only bear fruit through incessant efforts.
  •     “"We are all the light of God": This statement underlines the Spiritist view that all men are mediums potentially possessing a A familiar spirit that guides them towards good, even if they are not consciously aware of it. Moral and intellectual elevation is the destiny of all Spirits, and Spiritist knowledge is a means of drawing closer to Divinity. The doctrine seeks to awaken in humankind a love for good through the practice of Jesus' precepts. The reasoned faith that Spiritism provides multiplies the number of those called. The progress of Humanity depends on the understanding and application of this light, transforming society.

In short, the message of this Spirit echoes the voice of the Good Enlightened Spirits who, since the Codification, have urged men to leave ignorance and error, to embrace a reasoned faith, and to become active propagators of truth and charity, for it is through individual improvement and fraternal union that Humanity will achieve its moral progress.
