If you are not already aware, recently, after the maturation of our mediumistic group, always carrying out a critical examination of mediumistic communications, we felt that the moment was right and, with the most serious motivation possible, we sought to obtain general guidance from the Spirit of Allan Kardec, knowing, as he himself asserted, that:
All spirits can be evoked: those who animated obscure men, as well as those of the most illustrious figures, whatever era they lived in; those of our relatives, friends, or enemies, and from them, through written or verbal communications, advice, information about their situation in the afterlife, what they think of us, as well as the revelations they are permitted to make to us.
Allan Kardec — The Spirits' Book — Introduction
The manner in which the evocation is performed, and its good or bad outcome, reside in what he says immediately after the preceding paragraph:
Spirits are attracted according to the sympathy inspired in them by the moral nature of the environment that evokes them. Superior Spirits delight in serious gatherings where the love of good and the sincere desire of those who compose them to learn and improve themselves predominate. Their presence repels inferior Spirits who, conversely, find free access and can act with complete freedom among frivolous people or those driven solely by curiosity, and wherever evil instincts exist. Far from obtaining good advice or useful information from them, one should only expect trivialities, lies, tasteless jokes, or mystifications, since they often assume venerated names in order to better lead astray.
Allan Kardec — The Spirits' Book — Introduction
We believe, at the time mentioned, that our environment is precisely that of serious meetings and, in fact, We received a response., which, as we have analyzed, in no way contradicts the expected nature of the response, whether it came directly from that Spirit or from a representative sent by him.
What, however, was the intention behind this evocation? Exhibitionism? Vanity? An attempt to gain authority? Not at all. We consider our group a laboratory and, since we still operate without the collaboration of other groups, we neither should nor wish to obtain anything from them. new about the Spiritist Doctrine, so that no name This will not lead us to adopt any new principle that requires the collaborative methodology used by Kardec. We say: First, we need to establish a central group., with the participation of delegates (representatives) of other mediumistic groups, formed by the same principles, so that we can resume conducting any research.
Our goal, therefore, is to demonstrate to the public that, with the necessary discretion and seriousness, in addition to doctrinal unity (knowledge about the Spirit ScienceYes, it is possible and beneficial to evoke spirits, who will assist us whenever we demonstrate goodwill.
The idea that we now have the Spirit of Allan Kardec at our disposal is far from our minds. No, that would be a mistake—with any Spirit, for that matter. We will continue our learning process, invoking other Spirits, such as that of Ermance Dufaux, whose evocation, At first glance, it seemed to us to be a misrepresentation that, lacking a better way to investigate precisely because we lack partner groups, only leads us to state, for now, This dialogue is fraught with uncertainty.
We eagerly await the formation of more groups within this same doctrinal framework, following the necessary study. However, we regret the slowness of many who still expect the work to be done for them.
One final word: yes, what we already have from Spiritist Doctrine is sufficient to elevate us many steps in evolution. However, as many say, Kardec's work does not encompass all aspects of Spiritism. There is a necessary development on various issues, which, surely, It will not be done in isolation., by one Spirit or by one group.
We await what the future holds.

Congratulations on your initiative to work with evocations in a serious and thoughtful manner!
Thank you so much for the encouragement, Tania!
Paul,
Congratulations on your group's initiative. I hope you reap good results and are able to contact other groups. I believe it would be interesting for different groups to ask the same questions and for the answers to be sent to a different group, so that all communications could be analyzed simultaneously and based on the same methodological criteria. I recently published a video in which I present a "Proposal for a new model for the validation of spirit communications." In it, I propose "Content Analysis" as a methodological tool to systematize and evaluate communications; and to verify the origin of the communication's content (whether psychic, mediumistic, or mixed), I propose "Phenomenology" as a methodological tool. This can determine whether the communication is a product of the unconscious, ideas, memories, or the personality of the medium, or whether it is, in fact, from a communicating Spirit (or a mixed source). I am available to you to develop a research protocol, if necessary.
Hugs,
Olney Fontes (Spiritist Context Channel).
Thank you very much, my friend! I hope we can reap good results in the medium term, as we are able to form a network, like in Kardec's time. In that regard, I invite you to learn about our initiative, which is still awaiting members and is going along the lines you described: https://reconstituicaoespirita.com.br/
If you wish, you will find ways to contact us directly there.
Thank you for your cooperation!
