The following conversation took place during our online mediumistic meeting on April 28, 2026. It began with the spirit Amigo and later with the spirit Tereza, channeled through psychophony by Mrs. Po.

Ask the Friendly Spirit: The last time, Teresa came to talk to us (see Teresa's message 2026-04-21). She said that they were making a move to get the higher planes to mobilize the groups that have knowledge, and that there would be procedures for the next meetings. I would like to know if she has any news.

Teresa's answer: We are always prepared and working for the benefit of the groups that are making themselves available to higher plans. We have been active here in recent days so that more people may open their eyes and see the mistakes they have made and align themselves with those who seek the truth. The movement we make here is reflected in your material world.

There is an alignment of thoughts, an alignment of feelings, an alignment of wills. And as we said, as a friend who talks to you already warned, we were in constant work here. He himself warned you, yes, that if necessary, we would go back to banging on the tables.

But we realized through you and other groups that this wouldn't be necessary, although some of us understand that it's still necessary. That's why the demonstrations will happen. We all respect each other here.

We look at our brothers who are doing this and understand its usefulness. They, in turn, look at us and also understand our sense of education and the continuation of more serious work. We are a group; each of us can act freely, therefore never breaking God's laws.

For some deeply ingrained skeptics, the movement of objects is still necessary, but for more cohesive groups, this is not required. That's why we work on different fronts here.

Question: What instructions do you give us? You said you would bring a series of instructions for our actions. Do you have any instructions for now?

Teresa's reply: Keep up the work you started. Point out the shortcomings. That's a start.

We will not overburden you. Always strive for unity of thought. I prayed that you should be very careful of vanity, pride, and excessive passions.

Our greatest joy is when we see movements like this shake the great structures that have systematized our world and transformed it into a great distortion of what it truly is. Show people the vastness of the spiritual world. We are not restricted, trapped in a single world.

Try to make people understand the vastness of the space surrounding this planet. We know it's difficult to imagine infinity, but here, here, infinity is something indescribable. There are no human words that can describe what we see far beyond what you can perceive.

The first step, you are already taking. The second step will be the resumption of studies regarding communications, the exchange of information to compile once again the knowledge of the spiritual world. The third step will be...

Try to make people understand the vastness of the space surrounding this planet. We know it's difficult to imagine infinity.

But here, here, infinity is something indescribable.

There are no human words that can describe what we see, far beyond what you can perceive. You are taking the first step. The second step will be resuming your studies in communications.

The exchange of information to compile once again the knowledge of the spiritual world. The third step, perhaps the most difficult, is to put all this information into a compendium for future study. This is the resumption of true Spiritism.

This is what we desire. This is what we ask for.

Question: I am very grateful for your words and I am sure that you will all be by our side to do this in the right way. And I wanted to ask one more thing, to strengthen our will on this path, so that we don't get lost on other paths. So, I would like you to strengthen that will, because sometimes I don't have the will. I speak for myself. I'm afraid of that, of losing the will.

Teresa's reply:  And with the instructions of the Friendly Spirit, he has already told you so many times: Avoid unnecessary fights, arguments that wear you down and weaken your will. Focus on the goal you have as a group.

You have the steps, follow them. Don't get lost in pointless arguments. Look inside yourselves and discover what is worth fighting for, what is worth discussing.

Only this will keep you on the path. The path you yourselves chose to follow when you were here. Nothing in your lives is by chance.

Nothing is by chance in these new groups that are forming. So, use the intelligence you have and make the right choices. We all wish here—myself, Spirit Friend, Christopher, and others whom I cannot name at this time—that you do not forget the purpose of this existence.

May God be with you. We will always be by your side, whenever you need us.

The focus is always on highlighting the logical characteristics of the messages through the message body, point-by-point analysis, and conclusions.

1. Character of Communication and Language

The message has a serious and moralizing tone, which is the first indication of a Spirit of good nature. The language is dignified and free of trivialities, focusing on collective progress and vigilance against human passions such as pride and vanity. The Spirit does not impose itself, but advises, respecting the free will of those incarnate. This sober and profound tone, without exaggerated emotional appeals or fantastic promises, is the distinctive mark of Spirits of a high order, as taught in the fundamental works of the Codification.

2. Physical vs. Intelligent Manifestations

Tereza demonstrates an accurate understanding of the hierarchy of phenomena, distinguishing between what is necessary for different degrees of spiritual maturity:

Purpose of the Blows: She claims that table-tapping (tiptology) is useful for convincing skeptics, which agrees with the teaching that physical effects serve as the "ABC" of science to attract attention. Kardec, in The Genesis, explains that such phenomena were more necessary in an era of extreme materialism.

Abandonment of the Material by the Intellect: The Spirit emphasizes that cohesive groups do not require the movement of objects, focusing instead on philosophy and morality, which confirms that superior Spirits prefer faster and more direct means of communication for teaching. The message is clear: moral Spiritism gradually replaces spectacle with instruction.

3. The Method and the Resumption of "True Spiritism"“

The three steps suggested by the Spirit align rigorously with the codification method established by Allan Kardec:

First step – The beginning of the work: This refers to the mutual recognition between spirits and incarnate beings, and the willingness to serve. This phase already existed in domestic gatherings of the 19th century and represents the awakening of group consciousness.

Second step – Collectivity and Universality: The "exchange of information to compile once again the knowledge of the spiritual world" is the basis of the Universal Control of the Teachings of the Spirits, where truth is born from the agreement of multiple sources. Kardec never separated mediumship from reason, inspiration from codification.

Third step – Organization and Compendium:“Putting all this information into content for future studies” reflects the coordination and synthesis work that Kardec carried out to give unity to the doctrine and avoid schisms and personal systems. It is the most challenging step, as any compilation runs the risk of becoming dogma – hence Teresa's warning that unity should be “of thoughts,” not of formulas.

Combating Distortions: The mention of "large structures that have systematized our world and transformed it into a great distortion" resonates with the warnings Kardec received about attempts to divert Spiritism towards mysticism or dogmatism. It is a veiled criticism of institutions or systems that, over time, have petrified living truths.

4. Moral Warnings: Vanity, Pride, and Harmony

The spirit Teresa emphasizes that the greatest obstacle is not external enemies, but internal imperfections: vanity, pride, and ambition. A group only remains assisted by Good Spirits as long as it maintains unity of thought and purity of intentions.

The warning about "unnecessary fights and exhausting arguments" is of irrefutable practical wisdom. As instructed by the superior Spirits, pride and vanity are the greatest barriers between man and God. In a group, discord and personalism attract frivolous Spirits and drive away the good ones, for the latter seek perfect communion of thoughts and feelings for good.

5. Willpower as the Engine of Progress

One of the most moving moments in the dialogue is when the client confesses: “Sometimes I don’t feel like it. I wish it wouldn’t be lost. I’m afraid of that, of losing the desire.”

Tereza's response is practical and at the same time elevated: “Follow the instructions of the friendly spirit […] avoid unnecessary fights, arguments that wear you down and weaken your will. Focus on the goal you have as a group.”

According to Spiritist psychology, **willpower is an essential attribute of the Spirit**. Teresa acts as a true Guardian Spirit: she does not "give" willpower to the individual, but offers advice and moral encouragement, since the merit of the action must belong entirely to the incarnate being. As Kardec observed, good Spirits assist those who help themselves; they cannot replace the free will of the creature. "Where there's a will, there's a way" is a maxim that reinforces that resistance to passions and discouragement is a victory of the Spirit over matter.

Spirituality does not promise to eliminate human weaknesses, but it teaches how to manage them. The indicated path is to avoid sterile controversies and constantly return to one's inner purpose. "Look within yourselves and discover what is worth fighting for, what is worth arguing about."“

6. Prayer and Self-Effort

Regarding the difficulty of lack of willpower, Spiritist analysis offers three fundamental perspectives:

Perseverance as Proof: Earthly life is a succession of trials, and active will is necessary to overcome the inertia of matter.

Guides' Action: Guardian spirits support workers, but they cannot replace personal effort; the "momentary abandonment" of sensations can be a test to exercise moral self-sufficiency.

Prayer as a Resource: A sincere prayer helps to elevate thoughts and attract energies that strengthen courage.

7. Pre-existing Commitments and Nothing by Chance

The statement that the path was "chosen by yourselves when you were here" aligns perfectly with the Doctrine of choice of evidence. Before incarnating, the Spirit, in a state of freedom, studies its imperfections and chooses the tasks and difficulties that it considers most suitable for its advancement.

The message concludes with a statement of great comfort and responsibility: “Nothing in your lives is by chance. Nothing is by chance in these new groups that are forming.” In Spiritism, “fate” exists only in the choice made by the Spirit upon incarnating; what occurs afterward are the natural consequences of its actions and the unfolding of the commitment undertaken before its own conscience.

8. The Use of Intelligence and the Purpose of Life

The advice to “use intelligence and make the right choices” reminds us that God granted intelligence so that man may use it for good. The Spirit does not desire blind followers, but rational beings who understand the purpose of this existence, which is purification and collaboration in the work of creation.

Analytical Conclusion

Tereza's communication should be considered authentic in its purpose, as its content is rational, logical, and perfectly harmonious with the natural laws revealed by the Superior Spirits. It does not include predictions of dates or material promises, focusing exclusively on intellectual and moral progress, which is the true objective of Spiritism.

Tereza emphasizes that the solution to "lack of willpower" is not an external miracle, but internal vigilance against energy-draining arguments and a return to the spiritual commitment made before birth. The mention of other Spirits (such as the Friendly Spirit and Christopher) demonstrates the solidarity that unites the two worlds; those who preceded us are not dead, but watch over us as devoted friends, assisting us in the "ascent of the steep mountain of good.".

May this "resumption" not be a dispute over doctrinal primacy, but a silent return to what has always worked: study, prayer, useful action, and vigilance against one's own pride. As the friendly Spirit rightly said, through Teresa: "Show people the vastness of the spiritual world. We are not restricted, imprisoned. There is only one world." May we, each day, broaden our vision and our hearts to this vastness.
