Question 1 – I wanted to know if XXX's spirit is in that environment. Would there be a possibility of summoning him?

Answer 1– There is, but… Did you notice that everyone you called before came in the opposite direction? Understand: there's much more to learn than you imagine. Do you remember the bricklayer? You learned a lot from him.

We understand your desire to confirm your identities and resume conversations with beloved spirit friends who have crossed the threshold between life and the spirit world. But there are countless others who need communication, who need kind words, who need guidance. And we here, no matter what we do, don't reach them in the same way..

With this Evocation It was like this. Connecting with you gave him the opportunity to free himself from his addictions. Be generous with those who seek you, because the space is open.

This isn't to say you can't talk to your loved ones. But always welcome those who arrive as if they were loved ones too. Love is a gift, and the charity we show to those we approach goes far beyond building a better world.

Because they are the future of the new humanity that is emerging. Because they will return to corporeal life. And if they don't have the opportunity to escape the moral vices they find themselves in, they will return to the physical body, bringing all this baggage with them and making the new future even more difficult.

OBSERVATIONS: The message is of utmost importance, as it touches on crucial points of the spiritual economy and our own mission on Earth. We had just attempted two direct evocations, and in both cases, another Spirit presented itself, replacing the one we were calling upon. Upon realizing the imposture, our attitude was to briefly welcome them, without harshness, but asking them to wait for another opportunity, almost saying "thank you, next," losing sight of the learning opportunity at hand, perhaps out of a certain fear of what was happening. Honestly, we felt ashamed after the lesson we have just addressed.

The desire to “confirm identities and resume dialogues with friendly, beloved spirits who have already crossed the threshold between life and the spiritual world” The possibility of communicating with those who preceded us on this great journey is undoubtedly a consolation, providing us with the means to interact with our disembodied relatives and friends, learning and teaching. This communication helps us with their advice, testifies to their affection, and the joy they feel at being remembered. It is a satisfaction to know they are happy and, through them, to learn the details of their new existence, gaining the certainty that one day we will join them. Death, as revealed to us, is not absolute destruction, but a passage, a transformation without interruption, and the relationships of affection established on Earth continue.

However, the observation that “There are countless others who need communication, who need friendly words, who need guidancepoints to a broader truth, one that transcends the realm of personal affections. The Spirits that surround us are innumerable, and many of them, "often the simplest," yearn to communicate. Mediumship is not a gift exclusive to the medium, but for the "general good." Around them, there is a "multitude of brothers, little advanced or in suffering" who can be attracted by their thoughts and prayers, leading to faith and hope. This is why, by not evoking anyone in particular, one runs the risk of opening the door to inferior Spirits. Your compassion and prayer can be a comfort to forgotten or suffering Spirits, ultimately benefiting them.

The aforementioned case of the preceding evocation that “the connection with you offered him the opportunity to free himself from the vices he had”, perfectly illustrates the moral mission of Spiritism, as well as the moral obligation of true Spiritists. The Spirits reveal to us that corporeal life is a school, a series of trials and expiations, and that suffering, when well endured, serves our purification and elevation. Spirits who are still imperfect can remain in states of disturbance and suffering, constantly reviewing their mistakes. The charity, prayer, and compassion of those who remain on Earth can, in fact, alleviate these sufferings and help the Spirit recognize its errors and repent, paving the way for progress. Sincere repentance, reparation for faults, and the practice of good are the only ways to shorten suffering.

When the Spirit says “Be generous to those who seek you, because the space is open,” is reaffirming the principle of universal charity. Charity is not limited to almsgiving; it encompasses tolerance, benevolence, and love for one's neighbor. Good Spirits are attracted to pure and elevated hearts and a sincere desire for instruction. It is charity that enables fraternal exchange between worlds, a "powerful lever that connects the spirits of all worlds."

It is certain that one should not refuse to “talk to your loved ones”. This would be to deny one of the sweetest consolations that Providence grants us. However, the Doctrine impels us to a broader vision. The recommendation of “always welcome those who arrive as if they were also loved ones” is a practical application of charity and universal love. “Love is a gift and the charity we show to those around us goes far beyond building a better world.” The true Spiritist, like the true Christian, actively seeks goodness and charity, selflessly. It is through the practice of goodness and charity that bonds are strengthened, both among you and between you and the spiritual world.

The most pressing part of the message lies in the statement: "Because they are the future of the new humanity that is emerging. Because they will return to corporeal life. And if they don't have the opportunity to escape the moral vices in which they find themselves, they will return to the physical body, bringing all this baggage and making the new future even more difficult."This highlights the importance of reincarnation as a law of progress. The plurality of existences is necessary for the Spirit to purify itself and acquire new knowledge and qualities, until it reaches perfection. Those who depart Earth in a state of imperfection and vice, if they do not strive for moral reform in the spiritual world, will return to corporeal life with the same baggage, and Spiritism shows us that the conditions of a new existence depend on oneself. If one does not take advantage of the period of erraticism to progress, or if one chooses trials that are not conducive to one's advancement, one can hinder one's own progress. God, in his infinite justice and goodness, grants humanity the means to atone for its faults, and reincarnation is one of these means. Our actions in assisting these Spirits in need directly contribute to the "regeneration of Humanity," for they are the future workers of Earth. Our task is to reduce the number of our ignorant brothers and sisters, so that Book of Spirits can be understood by everyone.

Therefore, let us not lose sight of the Doctrine's great objective: the moral reform of humanity and the construction of a better world. Its generosity toward suffering and less advanced Spirits is a sublime act of charity that benefits all of humanity, preparing the ground for future generations. Let us continue to love and educate ourselves, for the truth will guide us.

question 2– Just one aspect, if I may ask: what about the evocation factor that Kardec spoke so often about being important? What if we evoke and another spirit comes?

Answer 2 - You they can evoke. I didn't say you can't. But when another spirit approaches in place of the one you're calling, do your best. Those who come will come. You can rest assured.

We try to leave space open for each person's choice. Your frustration stems from your own feelings, a bit of wounded pride at not being served. And it's a long-term effort.

You can, if you wish, divide this time between each person (between direct evocations and responding to spontaneous communications), but there is no guarantee that it will come to fruition. Keep in mind that freedom is respected hereEach of you has a lesson to learn, a life sequence, and each of you has a feeling to work on.

Focus on this and have faith. Spirituality doesn't dictate, it doesn't impose from above. We don't force anyone to do this or that.

We understand your frustration. Sometimes there's bound to be some discomfort, but it's an internal, personal effort for each of us. We don't want communications to be interrupted.

We also don't want you to give up on talking to people, to the spirits of your loved ones. Persist. Have faith.

OBSERVATIONS: The message shows profound truths that the Spiritist Doctrine has revealed to us.

“You can summon. I didn't say you can't. But when another spirit approaches in place of the one you're calling, do your best. Those who come will come. You can rest assured.”, touches on an essential point of mediumistic practiceIndeed, the possibility of communicating with Spirits is a consolation, allowing us to converse with our loved ones who have already left Earth, helping us with their advice and showing us their affection. It is useful and even necessary to evoke specific Spirits. However, experience shows us that, around us, there is always an "immense majority" of Spirits, eager to communicate. If you don't evoke anyone in particular, you will open the door to all who wish to enter. And even when evoking, a Spirit other than the one summoned may present itself. In these cases, patience and discernment are our best guides. Spirits who truly have something serious and useful to say will come, but they are not at our command. Our good intentions and seriousness of purpose attract good Spirits.

"Your frustration is the result of your feelings, a bit of hurt pride for not being heard. And it's a long-term effort.". We note that this is a fundamental lesson. The Doctrine teaches us that Spiritism's main objective is to “moral improvement of humanity”. Pride and selfishness are persistent, radical vices that Spirits seek to combat. Persistence in achieving specific phenomena or vanity can lead to mystification. It's important to remember that spiritual progress is a continuous, "long-term" effort that requires patience and perseverance.

When he says: "You can, if you wish, divide this time between you, but there's no guarantee it will happen. Keep in mind that freedom is respected here. Each of you has a lesson to learn, a life sequence, and each of you has a feeling to work through." reinforces one of the pillars of our faith: free will and non-imposition. Spirits do not impose themselves; They offer advice, and if it is not heeded, they withdraw. The incarnate Spirit needs to exercise its own strength and gain experience to progress, and the action of the guardian Spirits is regulated so as not to hinder free will. The division of time for communications or the choice of trials belongs to the individual plan of each Spirit, whether incarnate or discarnate, aiming at its own improvement.

The observation that “Spirituality does not determine, it does not impose from above. We do not force anyone to do this or that thing.” is the confirmation of what we said above. Good Spirits are attracted by purity of heart and sincere desire for instruction,by orders or meaningless rituals. Moral truths are offered so that each person may take them and apply them, if they wish, in their own progress.

Finally, in stating “We understand your frustration. Sometimes some discomfort is necessary, but it’s an internal, personal process for each of you. We don’t want communication to be interrupted. Nor do we want you to give up on speaking with people, with the spirits of your loved ones. Persist. Have faith.”, It reveals the compassion and wisdom that permeate the spiritual world. Afflictions and "discomfort" are often necessary trials for our advancement, and the way we endure them with resignation is what matters. It contributes to our progress. It is a work of the Spirit, which each one must undertake. The loss of loved ones, although painful, is softened by the certainty of the continuity of life and by the possibility of communication, which is a supreme consolation. Our spiritual guides, like guardian angels, are always with us, offering their support and advice, even if we do not perceive them directly. Persistence in faith and in the practice of good is what strengthens us and allows us to advance on the path to eternal happiness.

May these reflections serve as a guide and strengthen your conviction in the goodness of God and the truth of the teachings that come to us.

Let us continue to await the arrival of new partner groups to join us in the research, resuming the scientific method necessary for the development of Spiritism.

Through a TikTok contact, a young woman living in Portugal asked for help with her case. She said she was experiencing disturbances in her home, with physical manifestations, leaving her tormented. Without gathering further details about the case, we decided to question the Spirit Friend, the Spirit who introduced himself as our group's guide, who recommended a direct conversation with the Spirit in question:

First dialogue

1. Evocation

A: Here I am.

2. Hello friend, welcome to our midst. First, we would like to know what we can call you?

A: You want to ask, then ask.

3. Okay, we'll ask. We'd like to understand your motivation for being there and whether you're the one causing the physical manifestations.

A: Yes, I did.

4. What is the reason?

A: The charge. I want her to remember what she did.

5. What did she do to you, was it in this present life, or in another incarnation?

A: In another one.

6. We don't want to judge you; we don't know what we would do in your position. We'd like to understand what happened.

A: She mistreated me. She knew I had difficulties. Still, she mistreated me.

7. What position did you occupy? In social terms, were you subordinate to her?

A: I was her son. She never treated me with love.

8. This must have caused you a lot of difficulty during your life.

A: Lots of beatings. Lots of humiliation.

9. Do you remember if in this previous incarnation, you, as a spirit, had chosen this environment for some reason?

A: We were supposed to have a balanced life.

10. Do you remember if you had a connection with her in the life before this life?

A: Yes. We always had problems. She promised that this time she would love me. I know the situation wasn't good, but I wasn't to blame for the choices she made. I just needed to be born, and her only responsibility was to love me so I could understand a little more about love. She neglected herself. She neglected herself... and only brought me suffering.

11. There is another spirit related to this story, acting there, isn't there?

A: Yes.

12. Do you know who he is?

A: I just know he's not good. No.

13. Don't you know him?

A: No.

14. Why do you say he is no good?

A: Because I run away from him.

15. I see. Does he have good intentions? And you didn't quite get it?

A: I don't know.

16. I want you to forgive us for any misdirected questions. […] You realize that she suffers today possibly because of these choices she made due to these trends.

A: I understand the suffering. But she deserves it.

17. She suffers the consequences of her choices. But are you happy still being around her?

A: I just wanted her to love me. But if she suffers in some way, I'm happy.

18. In what way will you make her suffer by doing these demonstrations in her house?

A: Not giving peace. Not giving quiet.

19. There is a big difference between happiness and joy […] Do you agree with this?

A: I don't know, I think I need to think about it.

20. This realization is in the principle that Spiritism teaches us […] Can you perceive these spirits?

A: Yes, they are here, yes. You can see it. I have to think about all of this.

21. We hope you feel comfortable among us […] maybe helping?

A: I think I understand a little of what you're saying. You can call me Carlos.

22. Thank you, Carlos. We never lack intuition, if I speak correctly, it's because of the good spirits that are with us. Never forget them.

A: I'll think more about everything you told me.

23. And we hope that on future occasions we can talk a little more with you.

A: I hope we can meet again, yes. So we can talk better.

---

Second dialogue

1. (To the Friendly Spirit) I would really like to know, if possible, we would like to talk to Carlos again, the spirit was participating there with M…

A: Carlos. He is here present.

2. Carlos, our friend, we want to welcome you back with open arms. And we'd like to know how you're doing after our last conversation.

A: A little more enlightened. But I'm not 100 percent convinced.

4: It's part of it. OM… tried to call you in his group. Did you not want to or could you not communicate there?

A: I didn't want to.

5: For what reason?

A: I was going to hear the same things you told me.

Note: In this dialogue, the Spirit still expressed himself with contempt and sarcasm. Even so, we responded with good humor, making him feel at ease and closer to us.

6: I see, okay. We understand that difficulty. It's very difficult for us, in our daily lives, to convince ourselves that we really need to forgive a certain person, to let something go, right? Would you like to say anything else about what's going on there, like M…?

A: If she really wants my forgiveness, she should pray for me.

7: She said she was praying, did you notice?

A: I see.

8: Do you still hold a grudge?

A: It's hard to forget certain things.

9: Exactly what you're talking about now, about forgetting certain things. What was it like last time? You were here, you said you needed to be born and her only responsibility was to love you. What was this arrangement you made before you were born to make this happen?

A: We've been living a few lives together for a while now. We've had and done things together that have compromised us. So, this last time, after the knowledge we gained in the spiritual world and the guidance we received, we agreed it would be different. But she got lost. Okay, they told me I didn't cooperate either..

Note: This answer corroborates the fact that often (but not always) Spirits spend several lives involved with each other. Sometimes, even in a kind of endless cycle, transformed into persecution, in which, often, they no longer even remember what one did to the other and their own share of blame for their actions. They focus on habits of revenge, judging only the other and victimizing themselves, without considering their own actions. This is evident in "Okay, they told me I didn't cooperate either.”, where “they” is a reference to the good Spirits who help him in this process.

10: That's what I was going to ask you: do you remember if anything before made her angry with you, something you might have done?

A: I believe so. I was not a good companion to her in a previous incarnation..

Note: Helping the Spirit to perceive the good Spirits around, the good, making him feel truly welcomed and helping him remember what he himself may have done helps him to leave this state of persecution, giving way to remorse and regret.

11: I see, my friend. You seem to have been in a love-hate relationship from a carnal point of view for a long time, right? And I'd say you're one step closer to turning that into true Happiness.

R: Could it be…

12: Are you starting to notice this?

A: I've been trying to leave her alone. I can try a little harder, especially because these spirits here are always telling me I need to improve. They've already shown me the possibilities I have. It would be different if my attitudes were different. So I try not to have that feeling of revenge that still grows and insists inside me.

Note: This is a struggle for all of us. We often feel unworthy for having made mistakes, without understanding that what matters is the effort, which will not lead to relative perfection.

13: This week, when we summoned you and you didn't want to come, we said a prayer for you. What did you feel during this moment of prayer we held collectively here? At any point in that prayer did you think, "I am stronger and I will renounce this revenge"?

A: I received your prayer. I felt the love and compassion you have. Through this prayer, I felt a little more comfortable. I still need a little time to process it.

14: Carlos, did you know that you have shown yourself to be a somewhat enlightened spirit, did you know that you could help many other spirits as well?

A: That's what everyone tells me here.

15. Do you want to know that this ability – because you express yourself very well… You should try to help someone, try to help another spirit. Have you tried?

C: No.

16. No? Then try. And then we'll talk to you. You'll tell us how you felt after you helped. Is he okay? Do you promise to come tell us?

A: I'll be back, I'll be back.

17. Carlos, I'd like to ask a question, and I'm asking for help from a friendly spirit in answering this. You said that before the spirits spoke to you, they showed you certain things. Even before our conversation, what's the difference in talking to us? How does it possibly help you more than the Spirits around you?

A: The difference is that you are in the physical body. And you experience the same difficulties as me. Giving up revenge... They have a different understanding. In fact, I feel closer to you precisely because of that. So, when you speak, you understand my difficulty, because you also have the same difficulty.

Note: Kardec would say: "More bourgeois spirits (forgive us this expression) make the circumstances of the new existence in which they find themselves more tangible. In them, the connection between corporeal life and spiritual life is more intimate; we understand it better because it touches us more closely. Learning, through what they tell us, what they have become, what they think and what they experience of men of all conditions and characters, both the good and the vicious, the great and the small, the happy and the unfortunate of the century—in a word: those who lived among us, those we have seen and known, those whose real life, their virtues and their errors, we understand their joys and sufferings well. We associate with them and from them we draw a moral lesson, all the more beneficial the closer our relationship with them. We more easily put ourselves in the place of someone who was our equal than in that of someone who we only glimpse it through the mirage of a celestial glory. Ordinary Spirits show us the practical application of the great and sublime truths, whose theory the superior Spirits minister to us.” (The Mediums’ Book, item 281). As we see, the same occurs with their relationship with us. The learning is mutual.

18: We understand.

A: And when, when you try hard, do you realize how difficult it is for me?

19: We understand, thanks for the reply.

Note: Brotherhood, friends, is the word. Note that at no point do we treat this Spirit as something to be purged, but rather as someone who has allowed himself to be led astray by false ideas, just as we ourselves often do. Note that the Spirit seeks understanding, and that is why, more than words, example must speak louder.

20: We understand. And I would like to ask: Do you have anything to say directly to M… (the persecuted girl), if it is allowed?

A: I'm waiting for my change. I feel like it's possible. But I don't know yet how long it will take me to better understand what's happening.

21: Little by little, things are getting clearer, a little bit at a time.

A: Tell M… not to give up. I won't give up on improving here either.

22: We really appreciate your communication and we are very happy with you.

(To the Friendly Spirit): We would like to ask the friendly spirit if it would be possible, for a little longer, to speak with the spirit of M's grandmother…

A: I ask that you take a break for the medium for now. She felt Carlos's tension.

Note: The medium ended the communication somewhat tired, but, as she has assured us, it is nothing that lingers. The Spirit's moral emotions are momentarily reflected in his body, but, knowing that these are his issues, not hers, such emotions do not linger in his physical constitution.

Third Dialogue

1: We would like to welcome Carlos, a friendly Spirit who has been joining our goals for some time now.

A: I am here. 

2: Hi, Carlos, how are you? 

A: Better. I've had time to reflect and think about the things you've said. I've been busy with the spirits of light who are superior to me, learning about forgiveness, and it's doing me good. 

3: We're really happy for you, and it's interesting to note that it's noticeable in the medium. Do you notice that too? 

A: I notice she's lighter. She's not holding it like she used to. She doesn't contract the muscle like she used to.

Note: The medium was more relaxed and no longer displayed the sarcasm she had previously displayed, either in her speech or in her expression. The Spirit's responses also became more complete and profound, as we will see.

4: We'd like to ask you a few questions before we get to the important topic. Okay? 

A: All good.

5: Thank you. Carlos, can you describe how you performed the physical manifestations? 

A: That's a difficult question. I still don't understand it. But from what I perceived, it was my will. I don't know if it was connected, if that will was connected to the anger I had inside me. If there was another way I didn't realize. But it was a union of things. A union of... I'll say forces I had. M...'s thoughts. All of that came together. 

6: I see. One question. You mentioned anger. We understand that anger and sadness are bodily emotions. How did you feel that anger? 

A: It was a compression. Something that felt like it was holding me back. Like it was squeezing me. 

7: Did you feel like it wasn't good for you? 

A: It made me want to explode.

8: What did you feel after you managed to move everything and make the manifestation? 

A: Almost a liberation. But then it all came back again. 

9: Did you start doing it there or did you do it in other places before? 

A: Only there.

10: Since your last incarnation, since you left the body, have you been connected to her? To M…? Or have you been in other places or in other environments? 

A: I've been in the spirit world looking for her. But for some reason, I couldn't find her. 

11: I see. Do you realize that these physical manifestations depended on the presence of someone? A medium? 

A: They did depend on M… It was from her that I gathered what I needed.

Note: If this is correct, then M… is a physical effects medium and doesn't know it.

12: We understand. If you wanted to do that to hurt someone, even her… For example, throw a pan at her, or a knife, could you do it? 

A: I could, but it wasn't allowed. 

13: As we discussed last time, were you able to help someone, as we agreed last time? Did you have that opportunity? 

A: I followed the brothers here, as I said before, to learn about forgiveness. I spoke with some spirits who were in a similar situation to mine and realized how much they, wasting time on revenge like I did, failed to see what I was seeing at that moment. There is a light far above us. It is a light that attracts us, that makes us want to touch it, to experience it, and these brothers I went to visit couldn't even see the spiritual brothers who accompanied me, and that caught my attention. It felt good, if that's what you want to know, to be able to listen to them and try to make them see what I was seeing.

14: You certainly helped them. You told them everything I was going to ask you. 

A: It's my obligation, now it's my duty to help them, just as it will be my duty to help M… I'm preparing for it. 

15: When you performed the phenomena at M's house… was it always just you or were there other spirits helping you with that phenomenon? 

A: When I could, I called some, and that was wrong. What I do now is go to these spirits and show them that I was wrong. We have a mutual aid here: we connect through our feelings and our desires, so when we connect with those who have the same purpose as us, we help each other and end up compromising ourselves even more than we should. 

16: And now that you have changed your habits and your way of thinking, do these brothers still continue in this state of thinking or have you managed to show them your new reality? 

A: Unfortunately, they continue, and I feel responsible for that. It's my duty now to do for them what you did for me. 

17: I would like to know how you see the space around you, now that you are no longer so attached to these purposes of revenge. 

A: My friend P…, you have no idea how vast the spiritual world is. And I still haven't gotten used to seeing so far, perceiving so many things that surrounded me and I didn't notice. It's beautiful. We have no words. We see colors. We see sparkles. We see luminous trails of other, even more elevated spirits. The grandeur of everything around us is unbelievable. It's like seeing the ocean for the first time. I think even more. Much more. 

18: What we see in our astronomical images of outer space, the lights and everything else, is it beautiful or is it incomparable to what you see? 

A: To your eyes, the immensity of the stars, of space, is intoxicating. To us, it's so much more. Because we see all of this and more… 

19: Allow me just one more question: What would you say about people who connect so many thoughts to these materialistic ideas in the afterlife, thinking that they will have to stay cloistered in houses, sleeping, eating? 

A: Poor creatures. They lose what I lost. We don't have the stomach, we don't have any of that. They'll waste a lot of time. Because they bring here what they're imagining there, and they'll be lost in it until they wake up to reality, to what awaits them. And regret, my friend. Regret... It takes a long time for us to get rid of it. 

20: Carlos, how can we help? Is there anything we can do for you? You seem calmer than the last few times we called. 

A: Keep praying. Not just for me. Offer your prayers to all those who were in the same situation as me. And to others. A general prayer to the suffering spirits achieves its purpose. I'm still close to M…. I won't deny it. But I'm trying hard not to upset her, because I feel like she's understanding the need for forgiveness just like I am. 

21: If you would like to leave us some final words, even if you are looking at us closely, we would appreciate it. 

A: To you, just keep up this hard work. AM…, may she forgive me too. And forgive herself even if she doesn't know what she did. May she have faith and may she move forward in her life carefully so as not to repeat the mistakes she already made. May she love and respect those close to her. May she not abandon them. May she remain steadfast in this purpose. 

22: I'll let her know. Thank you very much, okay? 

A: I am grateful for the help you provided me. 

The gratitude I carry within me for you will always be a beacon to keep me from getting lost in what is yet to come. May God bless you equally.

The dialogues with these Spirits brought us a wealth of learning, as well as a welcome opportunity to be useful, gaining another friend on our journey. The Spirit in question, having been evoked in a partner group, refused to communicate, but the guiding Spirit of that group mentioned that the physical phenomena were stirring pots and pans and the bed. Until then, I hadn't questioned these details—which I've always tried to do to remain impartial. When I questioned M…, the persecuted girl, about what this Spirit was doing, she confirmed that she heard pots and pans banging "by themselves."

In our first steps, we've noticed that we're still just getting started with evocations, learning to ask more in-depth questions in the time available without overwhelming the medium. We hope to soon be able to count on more partner groups.

It is written in the Spiritist Review of November 1860 (“Affectionate Relations of the Spirits”):

“If Georges had been one of those vulgar or systematic minds who express their own ideas without worrying about their accuracy or falsity, we would not have given it the slightest importance. Because of his usual wisdom and depth, one might suppose there was some truth at the heart of this theory, but that the thought had not been fully expressed. Indeed, this is what results from the explanations we have requested. We have, therefore, further proof that nothing should be accepted without having subjected it to the control of reason; and here reason and facts tell us that such a theory could not be absolute.”.

[…]

Simple common sense tells us, therefore, that the situation discussed is relative and not absolute; that it may occur for some under certain circumstances, but it could not be general, because otherwise it would be the greatest obstacle to the progress of the Spirit and, for this very reason, would not be in accordance with God's justice or goodness. Evidently, Georges' Spirit only considered one phase of errancy, in which, to put it better, he restricted the meaning of the term "wanderer" to a certain category of Spirits, instead of applying it, as we do, indiscriminately to all unincarnated Spirits.”

This is yet another lesson for our dialogues with the Spirits. The same challenges that Kardec faced, we too will face. The point is that, based on what Kardec already studied, we have a principle, a starting point, and we don't get lost, not knowing how to react.

Once again, Kardec's common sense calls us to reason about the need to blindly accept *NOTHING*, always considering all the difficulties involved in spirit communications. Once again, the return to Kardecian common sense contrasts sharply with what the current Spiritist Movement does and teaches.

Let us return to the Spiritist Movement in Kardec's time, according to the "Statistics of Spiritism" published in the Spiritist Review of 1869:

: Roman Catholics, freethinkers, not bound by dogma, 50%; ─ Greek Catholics, 15%; ─ Jews, 10%; ─ liberal Protestants, 10%; ─ Catholics linked to dogmas, 10%; ─ Orthodox Protestants, 3%; ─ Muslims, 2%.

From the beginning, the Spiritist Movement has been heterogeneous in terms of the religious origins of its participants. This has never been a problem. No one needs to renounce their religious identity to study a science. The real problem lies in the loss of unity of knowledge within that science.

With Kardec, Spiritism possessed a clear definition, well-defined principles, and a vigorous defense of its method of observation, comparison, and control of intelligent manifestations. After his death, the science was distorted, the method abandoned, and the principles betrayed. In Brazil, in particular, the name Spiritism was hijacked to designate a syncretic religion, marked by mysticism, fatalism, and mediumistic idolatry—whose “Vatican” goes by the name of the [Non-]Spiritist Brazilian Federation.

We need to stop shifting blame. The problem with the Spiritist Movement is not, in essence, Catholicism or Protestantism. The central deviation is Roustainguist. Religious dogmatism, yes, contaminated the Movement, but only because it found fertile ground within it: Spiritists who, lacking intellectual autonomy, rigorous study, and critical thinking, allowed themselves to be led by human authorities and abandoned the scientific model proposed by Kardec.

In the past, this might have been excusable, since the Spiritist Review was only translated into Portuguese in the 1960s. There also wasn't the same ease of access to knowledge as there is today. Today—and for some time now—this is no longer tenable. There is no plausible excuse other than a pure lack of willingness to study the Doctrine as it truly is, instead wasting time on systematizing ideas gleaned from NOVELS (sic!).

This is the real problem. It's not about external factors, but about the doctrinal cowardice of those who call themselves Spiritists and don't dare to study, evoke, analyze, and confront errors—as Kardec did, with courage and method—as many others also did, whether they were freethinkers, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Muslims, etc.

Science has made enormous progress in describing the mechanisms that keep an organism alive and those that collapse when it dies. We understand precisely how cells function, how DNA coordinates tissue formation, how proteins regulate biochemical processes, and how death leads to the degradation of these structures. But an essential question remains that still eludes purely material models:

Why does matter organize itself?

Not only as she organizes herself, but why Does it assume a functional, integrated, cohesive, and directed configuration? Physics and chemistry describe the interactions between molecules, but they do not satisfactorily explain the presence of an ordering principle that maintains this organization throughout life. Nor do they explain why this organization ceases in such a coordinated manner with death.

This is the missing key: the intelligent and organizing principle that acts on matter. And it is precisely here that Spiritism, founded by Allan Kardec, offers a decisive contribution to scientific thought.

According to Spiritism, the living organism is structured by a triad: the body, the perispirit, and the spirit. The perispirit is a semi-material covering that serves as a bridge between the spirit (intelligent principle) and the body (material structure). It is the perispirit that shapes the physical body from conception and sustains it throughout life, maintaining functional cohesion and organic identity.

With death, the spirit detaches from the body, ceasing this coordinating action. Matter then collapses not due to a random "failure," but because it lacks the element that gave it unity. Chemical reactions that were previously regulated by an intelligent principle now follow only the natural laws of degradation.

This view is not arbitrary metaphysics. Kardec proposed Spiritism as a science of observation, based on facts, experimentation, and reasoning. The hypothesis of the perispirit as a biological organizing model does not exclude the discoveries of biology; it integrates them into a broader and more coherent approach.

To deny this possibility is not to be scientific, but ideological. The true scientific spirit is not afraid to broaden its horizons when the facts of reality demand it. And the facts, both physiological and psychic, point to something that goes beyond matter: an intelligence that acts upon it.

Therefore, we say firmly:

Spiritism offers the missing key to complete the understanding of life and death. It does not oppose true science; on the contrary, it invites it to evolve beyond materialistic reductionism.

The body dies. But consciousness, and the principle that sustained the organization of that body, remain alive. This is the key. This is the spiritual science inaugurated by Allan Kardec. And this is the legacy that we must study, disseminate, and honor with seriousness, depth, and reason.

Introduction: The frustrated promise of a spiritual mission

Brazil, with its unparalleled natural wealth and geostrategic position, has been repeatedly touted as a country of the future. However, this "future" never seems to arrive. Amid this constant expectation, a peculiar narrative emerged within the Brazilian Spiritist movement: the idea that Brazil would be the "Homeland of the Gospel." This thesis, never foreseen by Allan Kardec or the Spirits of the Codification, gained traction after the publication of the book "Brazil, Heart of the World, Homeland of the Gospel," attributed to the spirit Humberto de Campos and psychographed by Chico Xavier.
Far from representing an authentic mission or a divine promise, this idea has become an emotional and ideological crutch, used by institutions like the FEB to perpetuate their influence and keep the people in a paralyzing illusion.

The Doctrinal Deviation: When the FEB Became a Roustainguist Trench

Founded in 1884, the Brazilian Spiritist Federation underwent a decisive shift in 1895 with the ascension of Bezerra de Menezes to its presidency. A follower of Jean-Baptiste Roustaing's ideas, Bezerra promoted the integration of Roustaingist theories into the FEB's institutional practice. Roustaing advocated a mystical Spiritism, strongly influenced by dogmatic interpretations and ideas such as the fluidic body of Jesus and the infallibility of certain mediums.
These positions directly contradicted Kardec's proposal, which always advocated universal control of spiritual teachings, a plurality of sources, and reason as the criterion of analysis. The progressive replacement of rational, experimental, and philosophical Spiritism with a sentimentalist and dogmatic version created a profound split in the movement.

The mystification of the book “Brazil, Heart of the World, Homeland of the Gospel”

Published in 1938, this book became a cornerstone of the FEB's institutional mythology. The work presents a highly symbolic narrative, replete with supernatural elements and unverifiable assertions, positioning Brazil as a direct instrument of divine providence.
The most controversial passage of the work claims that Kardec relied on Roustaing's collaboration as one of the pillars of the Codification. This claim is not only false but also offensive to Kardec's memory and method. Roustaing positioned himself in opposition to Kardec, rejecting the criterion of rational examination and replacing it with a dogmatic and personalistic belief.
The recent silent removal of Roustaing's name from ESDE handouts, without any retraction or public statement, highlights the FEB's modus operandi: erasing traces of its doctrinal orientation without ever admitting its error.

The consequences of this illusion for the Brazilian people

By promoting the idea that Brazil has a pre-assured divine mission, a culture of spiritual passivity is created. The Brazilian people, already weakened by a history of inequality, corruption, and impunity, find in this narrative a justification for inaction: after all, if Providence chose Brazil, everything will work out in the end.
The lack of real moral education, as proposed in The Spirits' Book (questions 614 to 625), coupled with the absence of critical thinking and civic engagement, allows fascinated mediums and dogmatic institutions to manipulate millions. Instead of promoting the emancipation of conscience, as is the true objective of Spiritism, these practices keep individuals spiritually infantilized.

The true role of Brazil in light of Kardec's Spiritism

Kardec never singled out nations as having exclusive missions. In Genesis, chapter XVIII, item 27, he states that "great progressive movements generally operate simultaneously in various parts of the globe." The mission, therefore, is always moral, individual, and collective, never nationalistic or predestined.
The true redemption of Brazil will not come by spiritual decree, but by the work of good men, as described in The Gospel According to Spiritism, chapter XX, item 5: “The true 'workers of the Lord' are all those who place themselves at the service of good with dedication and selflessness.”
Therefore, Spiritism can indeed play a fundamental role in the moral reconstruction of Brazil, but only if it is Kardec's Spiritism — not the dogmatic, nor the manipulative.

Conclusion: Brazil can still redeem itself — but with Kardec, not with illusions

If there is a mission reserved for Brazil, it is conditional: it depends on the awakening of moral conscience, inner reform, overcoming personalism, and a return to the solid foundations of the Codification. None of this will happen with the perpetuation of myths, mystifications, or apocryphal books disguised as doctrine that, unfortunately, have long been unfairly labeled "Spiritist."
Spiritism in Brazil is at a turning point. It is up to serious Spiritists committed to the truth to distinguish between the Doctrine of the Spirits and the institutional system compromised by the past. Only then can Brazil begin to fulfill, with dignity and reason, its true role in the spiritual future of humanity.

By Marcus Vinicius

Did you know that most of those who call themselves Spiritists… don't know anything about Spiritism? Nor do they use the specific language of Spiritist science to explain its phenomena and concepts.

Being a spiritualist is not a matter of emotional adherence, nor of consuming supposedly “spiritualist” novels.
Being a Spiritist means seriously studying Spiritist Science, understanding its foundations and putting its principles into practice — as Allan Kardec taught.

Spiritism is a doctrine of study, reason, and observation. Replacing this science with fiction is a great harm to Spiritism. As it is a Philosophical Science it must be studied with specific scientific terms.

In Kardec's time, the Philosophical Sciences were part of the teaching.

At the University of Sorbonne in the 19th century, disciplines were divided into: a) Exact or mathematical sciences. b) Natural sciences, which study objects in the physical world (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.). c) The moral sciences, which study the moral world, which comprises the actions and thoughts of the human race. Among the moral sciences, the division was 4: 1. The philosophical sciences, divided into two classes: psychological (psychology, logic, morality, aesthetics) and metaphysical (theodicy, rational psychology, rational cosmology); 2. The historical sciences (history, archaeology, epigraphy, numismatics, geography) study events and human development over time; 3. The philological sciences (philology, etymology, paleography, etc.), which have as their object language and human symbolic expression; 4. The social and political sciences (politics, jurisprudence, political economy), which study the social life of human beings.

When Allan Kardec launched his First Edition of the Spiritist Magazine in 1858, he immediately defined it in his introduction to justify its title Journal of Psychological Studies. Spiritist Science is, according to its time presented in the table above: Moral Science

As a science, its language is specific to the elements of this science so that everyone can understand each other. Terms are extremely important for the adequate communication of spiritual ideas. We see, today, a mixture of the totally materialistic science of our time in which the study of metaphysical hypotheses, for example, is ignored. Furthermore, words from one field are mixed with the other. Because of this, there is a confusion of materialist concepts mixed with the study of spiritual matters, which are also studied metaphysically.

We will give some examples of the mistaken use of materialistic terms that go unnoticed:

1. USE PSYCHOPHONY – DO NOT USE EMBEDDING: We see many speakers or even descriptions of manifestations in so-called Spiritist texts that use the term "incorporation." Spirit is not matter that occupies a physical place. Spirit does not incorporate any body, nor does your own spirit incorporate you. The Spirit speaks through the medium through a phenomenon called PSYCHOPHONY. The medium's spirit is WITH them and does not incorporate their physical body. This point is very important to avoid creating the false idea that the medium is possessed by another spirit, or that the spirit communally takes over the medium's body, or even that the medium's spirit goes to other places while the medium is in psychophony. This does not exist in Spiritist Science!
2. THE ACTION OF THE SPIRIT IS SOLELY AND ONLY THROUGH ITS THOUGHT: The spirit does not have a material body. According to studies of Spiritist Science, God created two general elements: SPIRIT and MATTER. Spirit has no analogue in our material world. The perispirit is matter. The material of which the perispirit is made is unknown to us, but even without knowing its characteristics, it is matter. The perispirit is not part of the spirit, just as the perispirit is not spirit. The spirit acts through and solely through thought. How exactly this happens is still unknown to us, but there are several theories in books that explain this mechanism (read Genesis, chap. XIV – The Fluids.)
3. USE EMANATION OR PROPAGATION – DO NOT USE ENERGY: The term energy is defined in Physics as the capacity of a body, substance, or physical system to perform work. Figuratively (non-scientific) speaking, energy is vigor or moral power; philosophically speaking, according to Aristotle, it is the action of a physical or metaphysical motor (metaphysics is not considered science today) that allows the actualization of a potentiality. Note, all definitions take into account something physical acting on something physical. One of the principles of Spiritist Science is that we are an incarnate soul. If we are a soul, we do not have a body, so it cannot be energy (something physical) leaving the spirit or soul (non-physical) and arriving at a body (physical). The more appropriate term would be an emanation or even propagation.
4. USE SPIRIT – DO NOT USE MIND: The mind is used in other areas of current materialist science. Some confuse the mind with the brain; the brain is an organ of the body, the brain is matter. Since Materialist Science does not admit the spirit as a hypothesis, it attributes the thinking process to the brain, but that is not what the spirits explained. According to Spiritist Science, through its observation, it is the spirit that controls the body, not the brain. The brain sends the commands. The brain is born, lives, and dies, and the spirit remains and carries with it the knowledge acquired through various incarnations. It is the spirit, not the mind, that possesses and carries knowledge. It is the spirit that thinks. You who understand the Spiritist doctrine know this and always use Spirit instead of Mind, don't you?
5. USE “AS IF IT WERE A VIBRATION” – DO NOT USE “VIBRATION” IN ITS FORM WHEN TALKING ABOUT SPIRITUAL PHENOMENA: There are hypotheses about the mechanism itself (see item 2) and only hypotheses. Using the term vibration may lead one to believe that the spiritual phenomenon is a wave as studied in Wave Physics, where it presents different types of waves and different vibrations, etc.
6. USE PERISPIRIT – DO NOT USE GHOST: Those who study Spiritist Science know that there are apparitional phenomena that evoke these figures that impress our imagination. But they are nothing more than spirits and their phenomena, often to play with or frighten the incarnate. There's no such thing as a Spiritist being afraid of spirits!
7. WE ARE ALWAYS IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD: According to Spiritist Science, when we are incarnated, we live in a dual world: the world of matter and the world of spirit. When we die, we disincarnate, that is, we leave matter, but we CONTINUE IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD. Do not use the terms “he died and went to the spiritual homeland” (He was already in the spirit world); “now he will meet his loved ones who have already died” (his loved ones are never far away. Remember that Spirits do not stay in any one place? (see item 1); “he left us”, etc.
8. USE CAUSE AND EFFECT – DO NOT USE THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT: Causality is generally considered a fundamental principle, rather than a specific law, in philosophical and scientific contexts. It describes the cause-and-effect relationship between events, where one event (the cause) is understood as the reason behind the occurrence of another event (the effect). Causality is a fundamental principle that helps understand the nature of the relationship between cause and effect, and is used in a variety of fields, from physics and natural sciences to philosophy and law. Although causality is often referred to as the "law of cause and effect," it is not a scientific law in the sense of a quantitative, experimentally verifiable relationship, like the laws of physics. It is more of a concept or principle that describes the nature of the relationship between cause and effect. Causality is important for understanding the world around us, as it allows us to identify the causes of phenomena and predict their effects. It is fundamental to science, technology, and everyday life, as it helps us understand and interact with the world more efficiently. An example: Imagine a hunt, an animal is shot and dies. The effect is death. The cause was the shotgun blast. It wasn't a law. In Spiritist Science, Kardec used many of these principles to explain the intelligent effects of intelligent spirit manifestations. There, he explains that for every intelligent effect, there is an intelligent cause. There are countless accounts of this in his works.
9. USE TRIALS AND EXPIATIONS – DO NOT USE KARMA: Karma and Spiritism are like oil and water: they do not mix. Be careful with people who preach the doctrine of karma within the spiritist environment, as the understanding of Spiritist Doctrine goes in the opposite direction.(click on the link to read the full explanation).
10. USE PARKED SPIRIT – DO NOT USE RETROGRADATION: Many people mix other reincarnationist doctrines with spiritual science. According to Spiritual Science, we spirits, when we are immersed in imperfections, such as pride and selfishness, remain stuck in a loop and do not evolve. But this doesn't mean we're going back and reincarnating as animals. It just means we're stuck in the evolutionary process! A human spirit never loses the knowledge it previously had, so it will never reincarnate as an animal because of its imperfections. It simply won't progress until it repents and sincerely returns to goodness.
11. THOSE WHO WILL REGENERATE WILL BE THE SPIRITS OF PLANET EARTH – PLANET EARTH WILL NOT REGENERATE: The planet will not change, and therefore spirits will have to evolve. There is no deadline, year, century, or anything like that. It's the other way around! The spirits on the planet will evolve. It will simply be when the majority of incarnate spirits are more evolved, no longer needing trials and atonements to evolve. One day, Planet Earth will become extinct, as any other planet will. This is the order of the material universe as we know it.
12. USE PURE SPIRIT – DO NOT USE PERFECT SPIRIT: The ideal of perfection is God, so a spirit will never be perfect. A spirit will reach perfection relative to its evolutionary level. A pure spirit no longer needs to reincarnate to evolve because it is no longer influenced by matter. Even though they are pure, they will evolve (Law of Progress).
13. PASS IS NOT ENERGY TRANSFER: see item 3

If you remember any incorrect expression, just leave a comment.

Modern education has become, in many respects, a mechanical process: the main objective seems to be to prepare children for a competitive world, teaching content, technical skills, and social rules. However, this approach ignores an essential dimension of the human being—one that transcends biology, environment, and the present.

The Spiritist Doctrine, the fruit of the methodical work of Spiritist Science, reveals a transformative truth: a child is not born blank. She is not simply a product of her environment, nor a blank slate ready to be filled with instructions. Each child is an immortal Spirit, with a past, with achievements, with moral challenges and natural aptitudes that she already carries with her even before opening her eyes to the earthly world.

🕊 The Child as a Reincarnated Spirit: A New Educational Perspective

While materialistic pedagogy focuses only on hereditary and social factors, Spiritism demonstrates that there are deep spiritual roots behind each child's tendencies.

Why can a child, even when raised in a loving environment, exhibit selfishness, vanity, jealousy, and pride?
Why is it that another person, even under adverse conditions, demonstrates patience, generosity, and empathy?

The answer lies not only in DNA or environment: it lies in the past experiences of the Spirit. It reincarnates to advance, to correct its imperfections, to develop virtues. And childhood, as Spiritist Doctrine teaches, is a phase of plasticity, in which old tendencies are dampened and the Spirit is more receptive to moral guidance.

---

🌱 The Role of the Educator: Much More Than Instruction

When education is limited to providing information, content, and techniques, it creates automatons prepared for the market, but not for spiritual life.

The true role of the educator, in the light of Spiritism, is to assist the Spirit on its journey. This means:
✅ Help the child recognize their negative tendencies and work to transform them;
✅ To value and channel for good the aptitudes and skills she already possesses from past lives;
✅ To offer not only intellectual instruction, but also moral formation, which remains with the Spirit beyond this existence.

As Allan Kardec observes (The Gospel According to SpiritismMoral education is the key to the progress of humanity. It is not enough to change laws or social structures; it is necessary to transform individuals, one by one, starting from an early age.

---

💡 Without spirituality, education becomes impoverished.

The absence of this spiritual perspective in education generates several consequences:
🔹 Children treated as learning machines, and not as evolving Spirits;
🔹 Lack of understanding about the emotional and moral challenges that arise in childhood;
🔹 An excessive focus on academic performance, neglecting the cultivation of virtues such as patience, empathy, responsibility, and solidarity.

The Spiritist perspective is not merely a "religious addition"—it is a profound revolution in the way we understand human beings and, therefore, in the way we educate.

---

🌟 Educating for Eternity: An Urgent Mission

By adopting an education inspired by Spiritist principles, we are not talking about catechism or religious indoctrination. We are talking about:
✨ To see the human being in their entirety — body, mind, and spirit;
✨ Understanding that a child's greatest asset is not their grades, but their moral achievements;
✨ To help each little being grow as a free, conscious, responsible Spirit, capable of loving and working for the common good.

True education prepares you not just for a profession, but for life. for this life and for all the lives to come.

The idea of the "fall into sin," coupled with the dogma of eternal hell, constitutes one of the greatest mental constructs of control, fear, and alienation ever imposed on humanity. From the perspective of true Spiritism—which is based exclusively on the works of Allan Kardec, structured as a science of observation of spiritual facts—this conception is unmasked in its philosophical, moral, and logical foundations.

---

1. The Dogma of the Fall: A Guilt-Based Origin Myth

The myth of the "fall"—present in various religious traditions—is based on the idea that the Spirit was created perfect but fell through disobedience. This implies that human pain, suffering, and imperfections are divine punishments, consequences of original sin.

Kardec categorically rejects this idea. In The Spirits' Book, especially in questions 115 to 121, he demonstrates that spirits are created simple and ignorant, and that evolution is the result of a progressive, natural, and rational process, not punishment. There is no "fall": there is education and ascension. Initial ignorance is not a fault; it is a starting point.

---

2. Hell: a moralistic construction based on fear

The dogma of eternal hell is even more cruel. It not only limits freedom of thought but also crystallizes error and eternalizes suffering, denying divine justice and mercy.

Kardec combats this notion in Heaven and Hell, demonstrating that there is no eternal punishment. Divine justice is proportional, educational, and regenerative. The Spirit suffers, yes, but it suffers because of its own moral inferiority, which persists as long as it remains. Suffering is temporary, didactic, never eternally punitive.

---

3. The false spiritualization of punishment: karma, law of return, action and reaction

In true Spiritism, there is no place for ideas such as "karma," "law of action and reaction," or "law of return," because such concepts imply an automatic, almost mechanical justice that depersonalizes the Spirit and transforms spiritual life into a mechanism of punishments and compensations.

Kardec proposes another logic: moral freedom and progress through conscious effort. The consequences of actions are not externally imposed punishments, but natural results that offer the Spirit the opportunity to understand, grow, and overcome its limitations. This is a moral pedagogy, not a cosmic accounting.

---

4. The perverse effect of these dogmas: reinforcing deviation and preventing evolution

When someone is taught to believe they are born guilty, stained by original sin, or will suffer eternally for their failures, they internalize fear and, often, hopelessness. Instead of encouraging transformation, such ideas solidify error. They come to believe they are inherently bad, unworthy, and lost—and thus justify their own deviations or become complacent.

Spiritism proposes the opposite: the Spirit is perfectible. It is free to choose, learn, make mistakes, correct, love, and evolve. There is no eternal guilt, but continuous responsibility. There is no hell, but inner states of suffering or peace, as the conscience becomes enlightened.

---

5. Conclusion: Spiritism liberates, it does not condemn

The greatest liberation that true Spiritism offers humanity is this: the destruction of the shackles of guilt and fear, replaced by the light of reason and confidence in progress. We have not fallen from paradise: we are ascending, step by step, from ignorance to wisdom, from imperfection to virtue.

We are not condemned for existing: we were created to evolve. This is Kardec's great legacy.

Did you know that most of those who call themselves Spiritists… don't know about Spiritism?

Being a spiritualist is not a matter of emotional adherence, nor of consuming supposedly “spiritualist” novels.
Being a Spiritist means seriously studying the Spiritist science, understanding its foundations and putting its principles into practice — as Allan Kardec taught.

Unfortunately, even famous speakers repeat nonsense that is not in the works of Codification.
See a list of false ideas commonly spread, but totally incompatible with true Spiritism:

You cannot practice mediumship outside the center (yes, you can).

You cannot evoke Spirits (you must evoke, as Kardec taught).

Accept communications without reviewing them (never do this!).

Our Home and threshold exist (they don't exist; they are literary creations).

A pass is a transfer of energy (it isn't; there is no such thing as "fluidic energy" as commonly understood).

All sufferings are expiations caused by guilt (they are not; there are tests, missions and current causes).

The FEB defines Spiritism (it does not define; it often moves away from it).

Physically disabled people were born that way because of… in their previous life (this is false and dangerous).

The perispirit stores damage to be repaired in future lives (false; the perispirit does not store physical "damage").

Recommending novels to newcomers to learn about Spiritism (this should not be done; novels generate false ideas).

And so it goes…

Spiritism is a doctrine of study, reason and observation.
Exchanging this science for fiction is a huge harm done to Spiritism.
