Today we bring you another analysis of mediumistic communication. The focus is always on highlighting the logical characteristics of the messages through the body of the message, point-by-point analysis, and conclusions.

In November 2025, during one of our mediumistic meetings, one of the mediums received the following spontaneous psychographic communication from a Spirit:

There was a time when proof was necessary. Today, according to the evolution of the world's inhabitants, it is even more necessary, since humanity is increasingly imbued with bad intentions, aiming for selfishness and personal gain above the collective good. Studies are being conducted on mediums and mediumship. However, researchers, focused on comforting letters, forget the basics of the doctrine. Either they forget them or they are unaware of them.

When people search for comforting letters seeking proof, the spiritual world often remains silent. The research lacks an essential element: faith. It also lacks an understanding of the spiritual world.

If we were to list all these points here, we would have to dictate the codification from the very beginning.

Even back in Kardec's time, they tried the same experiments. Since then, nothing has changed in God's Laws, nor in the conduct of the Spirits.

But don't worry. The time for concrete proof is near, and even the unbelievers will tremble.

We've already said it: if necessary, we'll bang on the tables again.

Mediums are flawed. God's Laws are not.

These scientists should conduct their studies within a mediumistic group. Only then could they understand the basic workings of the phenomena. Isolating mediums to evoke spirits is not a proper study. However, analyzing mediums in trance within groups could provide them with material to expand their research.

But we are merely messengers. Our words are not always well understood.

We hope, and will do our part, to ensure they reach their best conclusions, without taking away humanity's faith in tomorrow; on the contrary, we will inform the unbelievers about the certainty they will gain from our world. (We understand that this part of the message is best understood in this way:)“We wish to inform the unbelievers of the certainty they will obtain from our world. And we will do our part to ensure they reach their best conclusions, without taking away humanity's faith in tomorrow.”))

A Spirit November 2025

This communication has the characteristic of doctrinal firmness, rigorous logic, and a focus on moral utility.. We will assess whether the Spirit's assertions are consistent with general teaching, as well as whether it promotes progress and good, rather than sensationalism or speculation.

The message can be classified as profoundly instructive and in complete accordance with the morals of the Higher Spirits. It serves as a practical guide and a stark warning to researchers and mediums.

Here is the point-by-point analysis:

1. On the Condition of Mankind and the Necessity of Proofs

The assessment of Humanity — which is “increasingly imbued with bad intentions, aiming for selfishness and personal gain above the collective good."” — it is a finding that reflects the reality of our planet atonements and trials. O selfishness it's the pride These are the real ones. wounds of Humanity. Spiritism has as its essential goal precisely moral improvement of the human being.

The statement that the The need for evidence is even greater. It is logical, since spirit manifestations have a providential end: to convince them unbelievers of the survival of the soul.

The warning that the “"The time for concrete evidence is near."” and that “"If necessary, we will bang on the tables again."”. ...is in harmony with the law of progress. The Spirits began their manifestations with the... physical effects (the blows — typology), which served as the vestibule of Science to awaken attention. Kardec observed that the Spirits conduct the teaching in a way gradual and prudent. The resumption of physical phenomena would be a powerful means for the universal implementation of the doctrine in the new phase. This would shock those who still need material evidence. ((https://kardecpedia.com/roteiro-de-estudos/889/viagem-espirita-em-1862/1983/discursos-pronunciados-nas-reunioes-gerais-dos-espiritas-de-lyon-e-bordeaux ))

The statement that “"Nothing has changed in God's Laws, nor in the conduct of the Spirits."” It is perfectly accurate, for divine laws are immutable. (Heaven and Hell – Part One: Doctrine – Chapter VIII. Future Punishments According to Spiritism – 14th. The objection raised from divine foreknowledge also falls before this law. God, in creating a soul, effectively knows whether, by virtue of its free will, it will take the good or the bad path; He knows that it will be punished if it acts badly; but He also knows that this temporary punishment is a means of making it understand its error and of leading it onto the good path, which it will reach sooner or later. According to the doctrine of eternal punishments, God knows that the soul will fail and is condemned beforehand to endless torture. Reason also tells us on which side true God's justice lies.)

2. On Research Methodology, Faith, and Spiritual Silence

Criticism of researchers who “"Focused on comforting letters, they forget the basics of doctrine"” and act with the “"curiosity"” This is a key point reiterated in Spiritist works.

• The Need for Faith and Study: The teaching correctly states that research lacks faith and of understanding the spiritual world. Kardec always emphasized that the unshakable faith it is the one that can face reason head-on. Serious and persistent study is the first condition to learn about Spiritism. (( https://kardecpedia.com/roteiro-de-estudos/2/o-livro-dos-espiritos/47/introducao-ao-estudo-da-doutrina-espirita/xvii ))

• Spiritual Silence: The fact that “"The spiritual world often remains silent."” When the search is for proof (out of interest or curiosity), it is a constant truth. The Higher Spirits They don't like curious people.. They are not suited to frivolous, idle experiences or those meant for show., and refuse to assist any kind of cupidity or selfishness.

The message is correct in suggesting “"to dictate the codification from the outset"” To clarify these points, this would demonstrate that, without the philosophical basis (God, soul, immortality), the study of manifestation is... useless. ((The Mediums' Book, Chapter III – On the Method https://kardecpedia.com/roteiro-de-estudos/884/o-livro-dos-mediuns-ou-guia-dos-mediuns-e-dos-evocadores/1009/primeira-parte-nocoes-preliminares/capitulo-iii-do-metodo/18)))

3. On the Fallibility of the Medium and the Importance of the Group

The communication provides vital practical instructions on mediumistic practice:

• Fallibility: The distinction “"Mediums are flawed. God's Laws are not."” It is fundamental. The mediumistic faculty is organic and regardless of morale of the medium. However, the application and quality of the communications depend on the qualities of the medium.

• The Obstacle of Isolation: The criticism that “"Isolating mediums to evoke spirits is not a correct study."” It's a safety maxim. isolation of the medium is one of biggest obstacles of mediumship. He who works alone easily becomes prey to Lying and hypocritical spirits that dominate. (The Book of Mediums – Part Two – Chapter XXIII – On Obsession – Causes of Obsession – 248. It very often happens that a medium can only communicate with a single Spirit, who is linked to him and answers for those who are called through him. This is not always an obsession, as the fact may derive from the medium's lack of malleability, or from a special affinity with a particular Spirit. Obsession properly speaking only occurs when the Spirit imposes itself and intentionally drives away others, which is never the work of a good Spirit. Generally, the Spirit that takes possession of the medium, with a view to dominating him, cannot bear the critical examination of his communications; when he sees that they are not accepted, that they are discussed, he does not withdraw, but inspires the medium with the thought of isolating himself, even, not infrequently, ordering him to do so. Every medium who is offended by criticism of the communications he obtains echoes the Spirit that dominates him, a Spirit that does not It can be good, provided it inspires an illogical thought, such as refusing examination. The isolation of the medium is always a deplorable thing for him, because he is left without verification of the communications he receives. Not only should he seek the opinion of others to clarify things, but it is also necessary for him to study all kinds of communications in order to compare them. By restricting himself to those transmitted to him, he risks being deceived about their value, without considering that he is not given to know everything and that they almost always revolve within the same circle.

• The Strength of the Group: The advice that the study “"It should be done in a mediumistic group."” It's the only way to avoid obsession. The serious group provides the control, a analysis it's the critical examination Communications by disinterested and benevolent people unmask deceiving Spirits. (The Book of Mediums or Guide for Mediums and Evocators. Part Two — Of Spirit Manifestations. Chapter XXIX — Of Spiritist Meetings and Societies. Of Meetings in General. 329. Study meetings are, moreover, of immense use to mediums of intelligent manifestations, especially to those who seriously wish to improve themselves and who do not attend them dominated by a foolish presumption of infallibility. Obsession and fascination constitute one of the great stumbling blocks of mediumship, as we have already had occasion to say. They can, therefore, deceive themselves in good faith regarding the merit of what they achieve, and it is easily conceived that deceiving Spirits have an open path when they are only dealing with a blind person. For this reason, they distance their medium from all supervision; they even go so far as to make him averse to anyone who might enlighten him. Thanks to isolation and fascination, they achieve their goals without difficulty.) to lead him to accept everything they want. It can never be repeated too often: therein lies not only a stumbling block, but a danger; yes, a real danger, we say. The only way for the medium to escape it is through analysis performed by disinterested and benevolent people who, coldly and impartially assessing the communications, open his eyes and make him perceive what he cannot see on his own. Now, any medium who fears this judgment is already on the path to obsession; he who believes that the light was made exclusively for his benefit is completely subjugated. If one takes offense at observations, rejects them, or becomes irritated upon hearing them, there is no doubt about the evil nature of the Spirit assisting them. We have said that a medium may lack the necessary knowledge to perceive errors; that they may be deceived by resounding words and pretentious language, seduced by sophisms, all in the best of faith. Therefore, lacking their own understanding, they should modestly resort to that of others, according to these two adages: four eyes see more than two, and no one is a good judge in their own case. From this point of view, meetings are of great use to the medium, provided they show themselves sensible enough to listen to the opinions offered, because there they will find people more enlightened than themselves who will grasp the nuances, often delicate, by which the Spirit betrays its inferiority. Every medium who sincerely wishes not to be a plaything of falsehood should, therefore, seek to produce results in serious meetings, bringing to them what they obtain in private, gratefully accepting, and even requesting, a critical examination of the communications they receive. If they are dealing with deceiving Spirits, this is the surest way to rid themselves of them, proving to them that they cannot deceive them. Moreover, the medium who is irritated by criticism has even less reason for such irritation, since their self-esteem has nothing to do with the matter, for what comes out of their mouth or from their pen is not theirs, and they are no more responsible for it than they would be if they were reading the verses of a bad poet. We insist on this point because, just as this is a pitfall for mediums, it is also for meetings, in which it is important not to lightly trust all interpreters of Spirits. The participation of any obsessed or fascinated medium would be more harmful than useful to them; They should not, therefore, accept it. We believe we have already made sufficient observations to make it impossible for them to be mistaken about the characteristics of obsession, if the medium cannot recognize it for himself. One of the most evident is, on the part of the medium, the claim to always be right against everyone. Obsessed mediums who refuse to acknowledge that they are obsessed resemble those patients who are deluded about their own illness and are lost because they do not submit to a healthy regimen.

• Analysis in Trance: The suggestion of “"to analyze, however, mediums in trance within groups"” It is a valid methodology. The state of sleepwalking or ecstasy It allows the medium's spirit to manifest more freely, revealing higher manifestations and deep.

4. Regarding Identity and Mission

The absence of a specific name for the Spirit, presenting itself only as “"We are merely messengers."”, it would be seen as a sign of seriousness and humility, typical of Spirits who care about idea and not with the man. Based on the analysis, we can affirm that it is the same spirit that communicated previously in... in this message here

• Focus on the Message: The priority of “"to inform the unbelievers of the certainty they will obtain from our world"” This is the ultimate and essential purpose of Spiritist Doctrine. ((https://kardecpedia.com/roteiro-de-estudos/885/o-que-eo-espiritismo/1320/capitulo-ii-nocoes-elementares-de-espiritismo/fim-providencial-das-manifestacoes-espiritas))

Final verdict of our analysis:

We concluded that the content of the communication is fully compliant to the teachings given to him by the Superior Spirits. The message serves as a warning to followers and scientists on Earth: The methodology of observation must be combined with morality and logic, and Spiritism does not lend itself to vain curiosity.

“"The usefulness of this communication lies not in revealing new scientific truths, but rather in reinforcing the..." pillars of spiritist conducta seriousness of the study, The rigor of reasoning and the safety during group practice. The promise of future proofs is an encouragement for good men to remain firm in rational faith, for the truth, which is calm, will prevail over violence and disbelief.” ((https://kardecpedia.com/roteiro-de-estudos/894/revista-espirita-jornal-de-estudos-psicologicos-1860))

The work known as “"Manuscript of Purgatory"” It occupies a particular place within Catholic literature of a mystical nature. Its narrative describes an ongoing exchange between the religious Sister M. d. IC. and the spirit of the deceased Sister MG., whose voice, according to the account, instructs, admonishes, clarifies, and comments on his own condition in the post-mortem state, over the course of years. The text, upon being evaluated and declared free of doctrinal error by theologians and ecclesiastical authorities, acquires internal spiritual and disciplinary value.

This institutional recognition, however, exposes a theological and disciplinary dilemma. Official Catholic doctrine denies the possibility of spontaneous and habitual communication between the living and the dead., allowing it only under the regime of an exceptional miracle and for strictly defined purposes. In catechetical terms, it is a extraordinary event, not a natural law., and any human attempt at direct evocation should be rejected, traditionally associating it with superstition or the devil.

However, the narrative content of the book contradicts this formulation. There is no episodic phenomenology. There is continuity, progressive instruction, detailed description of the communicator's spiritual state, and temporal regularity. In short, there is mediumship, regardless of the devotional nomenclature applied. Therefore, the work presents an irreconcilable tension between the stated dogmatic formulation and the described spiritual practice.

The strategy of permanent exception

To resolve this conflict, the work employs a rhetorical device: it qualifies the phenomenon as a "privilege," a "visit permitted by God," and therefore not as natural mediumistic communication, but as a “singular mystical grace.” This semantic shift does not alter the nature of the phenomenon; it merely protects it institutionally.

This is the same historical mechanism used to justify the visionary experiences of Catholic mystics—be it Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Ávila, or the Curé d'Ars—: when it occurs under ecclesiastical tutelage, Dialogue with the afterlife is a "miracle."“; when it occurs outside of it, is it "illusion", "heresies", "spiritism" or "demonic action"?“. The criterion is neither ontological nor moral — it is jurisdictional.

Natural law versus theological privilege

The contrast with the Spiritist methodological perspective is instructive. Allan Kardec does not define the phenomenon as a mystical concession, but as a law of spiritual nature: Spirits communicate because they live, think, remember, and inhabit another dimension of reality, and not because they are invoked under miraculous circumstances.. The Kardecian approach requires:

• systematic observation
• critique and comparison of messages
• universality of education
• deception control
• absence of personal authority as a criterion of truth

The Catholic manuscript, however, uses the opposite criterion: Ecclesiastical authority = legitimacy; absence of ecclesiastical authority = demonic suspicion.. There is no methodology; there is hierarchical ratification. The phenomenon is identical — only the validation structure differs.

The irreversible internal contradiction

If, according to dogma, true spiritual communication is extremely rare and always extraordinary, how can this be justified? a recorded communication spanning over more than a decade, With regular frequency and progressive detail? An exception with temporal permanence ceases to be an exception and takes the form of... empirical norm. The manuscript, therefore, It does not confirm Catholic dogma — it violates it through practice..

The text aims to defend orthodoxy; however, by documenting a process of spiritual exchange in a natural way, it inadvertently reveals... the inadequacy of prohibition and the artificiality of the "restricted miracle" as a disciplinary mechanism..

Conclusion

The “Manuscript of Purgatory” serves as an unwitting testament to the viability and continuity of dialogue between the two planes of existence—precisely what Catholic doctrine maintains is impossible except in miraculous exceptions. The work does not demonstrate the fragility of the spiritual phenomenon, but rather the fragility of... discursive control regime over the phenomenon. The contradiction does not lie in the spiritual fact—it lies in an institutional attempt to monopolize it.

The manuscript, instead of denying mediumship, confirms it—it merely changes its name to preserve it within the realm of clerical exclusivity. What is thus proven is not the impossibility of spiritual exchange, but the historical effort of the Church to... managing access to the invisible, ...and not to deny it in its essence.

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. “Little by little, with our intervention, and you can be sure that we are working on this, people will feel our presence.”

• 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 we have to start the same way we did in Kardec's century. Knocking, calling. We have this urgent need to begin again."

• 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 responsibility. Just do what you know you should do. Realize 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."

• Responsibility is a recurring theme in Spiritist doctrine. Mediums, blessed with the faculty of mediumship, are reminded that they will be "severely punished" if they deviate from their moral purpose. The propagation of Spiritist ideas implies the "duty of practice" and of honoring the doctrine through deeds. The 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 adhesion of people who "read and understood" are vital for propagation, and these new followers 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 get away from the mysticism, the inconsistencies, the false truths that have taken root in this vast literature that you have on your shelves, in your bookstores, that you call by amazing titles, that you 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 false interpretations, because “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 literature that you have on the shelves of bookstores, which you call incredible 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 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."

•     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.

The medium Mr. D., seeking help from good Spirits, submitted the following appeal to the Spirit of Allan Kardec:

evocation(To Master Allan Kardec) I ask for your guidance, Master, for our mediumistic group.

Response (emphasis added): For all meetings, we advise you to prepare in advance, having the topic and questions ready for your studies. To the mediums, the pursuit of improving their faculties. Do you want to be good mediums? Then study, the regular practice of mediumship, and the uninterrupted pursuit of moral improvement is the right path. You don't need to practice excessively, without proper rest and without caution, so as not to attract charlatans.. But even a quarter of an hour of dedication, for example. Sincerity of intention will also help you. Ask yourselves why you are gathered here, consult your conscience, for Frivolous arguments attract only the frivolous and the mocking.. Faith is the instrument of reason, not just emotion. You will make it unshakable through study and meditation. Mediums, strive to be good mediums; collaborators who do not yet have their mediumistic faculty well developed, strive to have a good heart and faith. Q., I tell you that you are an inspired medium and a conscious psychophonist, without knowing it. Z., an inspired and intuitive medium. All mediums, strive to be good mediums..

Comments:

The communication was obtained by the medium D., a psychographer, in an environment separate from our group's meeting. Before asking this question, he concentrated on prayers and first sought the opinion of the Spirit of Saint Augustine, president of another mediumistic group with which he interacts.

Like all communications obtained within and outside our group, we subject it to the most rigorous critical examination, within our capabilities. We do this through a virtual document, shared among all of us, where we make observations and raise questions that, as needed, may be addressed in a new evocation (to the same Spirit, or to another that we deem appropriate to try to call upon), as you can see in an excerpt from another communication., to be discussed shortly:

Regarding the communication in response to the evocation of the Spirit of Allan Kardec, we had nothing to criticize. It seemed eloquent, direct, simple, and alerting, without circumlocutions or subterfuges—all characteristics of Allan Kardec, who communicated to make himself understood by all. Whether he himself communicated or whether the communication came through another Spirit, inspired by him, does not really matter, since the message arrived and fulfilled its purpose.

Yes, friends, even the spirit of Allan Kardec can be evoked and communicate, but the question will always be the intent and seriousness of the one who calls. As we know, calling out of curiosity or frivolity will end up arousing the interest of frivolous or impostor spirits, mystifiers.

We chose this brief message to open our article section entitled “Communications from Beyond the Grave,” where we will seek to follow in the footsteps of Allan Kardec, both in the analysis and presentation of communications, whether spontaneous or not., obtained in our environment or in other groups. We wish to be yet another example, another small light, still somewhat pale, shining in this dark night into which the Spiritist Movement has plunged, from which we hope that everyone may soon awaken—and this "soon" depends only on the will of each one. Gather together, friends. Study, persevere. Immerse yourselves in Kardec's pages so that you may emerge aware of the needs of this science, inspired by him to take your own steps. Into the night you will advance and, gathered together, you will do your part in illuminating this path. Private meetings, thus held, will always be of better quality than those held in heterogeneous environments and, above all, without study.

“Ask yourselves why you are gathered here, consult your conscience, for frivolous reasons attract only the frivolous and the mocking.."”

Mediumship is a faculty that allows interaction between the material world and the spiritual world. Allan Kardec, throughout his studies, observed that mediumship expresses itself in diverse ways and with distinct effects, which leads us to understand that there is no single way to establish communication with spirits. As he himself states, “mediumship is a multifaceted faculty”, which implies the variety of manifestations and experiences that it can generate.

Collaboration by Ceres Marcon

"Mediumship is a multifaceted faculty; it presents an infinity of nuances in its means and effects. Whoever is able to receive or transmit communications from Spirits is, for this very reason, a medium, regardless of the means employed or the degree of development of the faculty—from simple occult influence to the production of the most unusual phenomena."

Allan Kardec, Spiritist Review, February 1859

Among the countless mediumistic manifestations, one of the best known and most used is psychographyIn this type of mediumship, the medium acts as a channel for written communication with the spiritual plane, being one of the most common forms of manifestation in the field of Spiritism. When we address psychography, we can observe that mediums can be classified according to their degree of control over the process, and these classifications directly influence the obstacles they face throughout the development of this faculty.

There are three main types of psychographic mediums:

• Intuitive mediums: These are those who receive inspiration from spirits but write consciously, with some control over what is being said. The communication is more indirect, with the medium receiving intuitions or guidance, but still maintaining control over the writing.
• Mechanical mediums: These mediums become automatic channels for spirit communication. During the process of psychography, they have no conscious control over what is being written, which characterizes a more spontaneous and intense manifestation.
• Semi-mechanical mediums: They represent a middle ground between the previous types. Although there is some influence of the spirit on the writing, the medium still maintains some degree of control and awareness over the process.

However, as Kardec warns us, even though it is a natural faculty, mediumship is not without its difficulties. He tells us:

"Although the faculty is not an exclusive privilege, it certainly encounters opponents, at least in the sense that it is understood. It is also true that it does not fail to present obstacles to those who possess it; it can be altered and even lost, and it can often be a source of serious disappointment."

Allan Kardec, Spiritist Review, February 1859

These words from Kardec remind us that mediumship, despite its accessibility to many people, is not simple. It can encounter resistance, both internal and external, and the medium may face obstacles of various kinds—from difficulty maintaining control over communications to the risk of being influenced by deceptive or malicious entities.

In his analysis, Kardec alerts us to the complexity of the causes of mediumship and how it can often manifest in individuals whose moral characteristics are not necessarily exemplary. He states:

"The gift of mediumship depends on causes still imperfectly understood, in which physical factors appear to play a large role. At first glance, it would seem that such a precious gift should only be shared by select souls. However, experience proves otherwise, for we find powerful mediumship in people whose morals leave much to be desired, while others, esteemed in every respect, lack it."

Allan Kardec, Spiritist Review, February 1859

From the above excerpt, we can see that, contrary to what one might assume, this mediumistic faculty is not an exclusive privilege of people of great moral virtue. Mediumship does not depend solely on the individual's purity or moral character, but involves a combination of factors, including physical and spiritual aspects that are not yet fully understood. This complexity can even result in powerful manifestations in individuals whose moral conditions are not ideal, while others, who could be considered more balanced, lack it.

Therefore, mediumship, by its very multifaceted and unpredictable nature, presents a series of challenges that go beyond spiritual matters, also involving physical, psychological, and moral issues. It is precisely for this reason that mediums, when seeking to develop and control their faculties, must be aware of the internal and external obstacles that may arise along the way.

Furthermore, Kardec also warns us:

“(…) the good quality of the medium is not only in the ease of communication, but solely in his ability to receive only good ones. Now, it is in this that his moral conditions are omnipotent; and it is also in this that he encounters the greatest obstacles.” 

Allan Kardec, Spiritist Review, February 1859

This statement is crucial to understanding that, for a medium, the quality of spiritual communications is related to the quantity or ease with which they receive messages, as well as their ability to discern and filter spiritual influences. The medium must be prepared to reject the influences of imperfect spirits and accept only messages from elevated and trustworthy spirits.

However, Kardec emphasizes that the medium's moral condition is of paramount importance. The medium's morality not only influences the type of communication they are able to receive, but also acts as a true "filter" to prevent them from being deceived or influenced by inferior or deceptive spirits. Therefore, the greatest obstacles for the medium are not only technical or physical difficulties, but also moral issues, which require constant vigilance and improvement.

In this sense, mediums must be in a constant process of self-knowledge and inner transformation. Mediumship is, by its very nature, an opportunity for growth, but it also demands great responsibility. The medium cannot be a mere passive channel, but must constantly seek moral elevation, ethics, and spirituality, so that their mediumistic faculties will be well-directed and bring benefits to themselves and others.

Therefore, the moral obstacles mediums face are often linked to a tendency to be carried away by ego, vanity, or the anxiety of "showing" their abilities. Humility, discipline, and detachment are essential qualities to ensure that the medium does not stray from the path of goodness and truth, thus minimizing the risk of disappointment or harmful communications.

Brief article: In the July 1860 issue of the Spiritist Review, Kardec presents the article "Of Animals," in which a spirit, presenting himself as the spirit of Charlet, the painter, begins to discuss the subject at hand. Up to a point, everything seems to make sense; however, near the end, and especially in the ninth paragraph, the spirit apparently "loses a screw" and begins to spout nonsense. Charlet claims that the development of ferocity in animals is the fault of humans, when they fall into sin, at the moment Cain kills Abel (sic!), which would have set a bad example that, through human magnetism, which dominates the animal, causes ferocity to emerge within it (sic!).

It seemed absurd for Kardec to publish this article… But then the impatient reader is surprised by the subsequent article, “Critical Examination (of Charlet’s Dissertations on Animals)”, where, paragraph by paragraph, Kardec goes on to question the Spirit about his understanding of certain points. After all, Kardec addresses the infamous ninth paragraph, saying:

In this passage Charlet seems to have been carried away by his imagination, for the picture he paints of the animal's moral degradation is more fantastic than scientific.

[…]

What does Charlet think of these reflections?

─ I can only approve them. I was a painter, not a man of letters or a scientist.. So, from time to time I let myself be carried away by the pleasure, new to me, of writing beautiful sentences, even to the detriment of the truth. But what you say is very fair and inspired […]. However, I agree that I was wrong. I acted recklessly, and This proves to you the extent to which you must control the communications you receive.

The depth of this lesson is easily understood on its own. However, it can be supplemented by item 247 of The Mediums' Book:

247. Spirits given to systems are generally scribblers, so they seek out mediums who write easily and whom they try to make docile and, above all, enthusiastic instruments, fascinating them. They are almost always verbose, very wordy, seeking to compensate for quality with quantity. They delight in dictating to their interpreters voluminous, indigestible writings [...]. Truly superior spirits are sparing with words; they say a lot in a few sentences. It follows that such prodigious fecundity should always be suspect.

One can never be too circumspect when publishing such writings. The utopias and eccentricities that sometimes abound in them and shock common sense produce a regrettable impression on people still new to the doctrine, giving them a false idea of Spiritism, without even considering that they are weapons used by its enemies to ridicule it. Among such publications, there are some that, without being bad or stemming from an obsession, can be considered imprudent. untimely, or unlucky.

Therefore, we highlight the importance of passing on ALL spiritual communications, no matter why mediums came, through the sieve of reason, never failing to question points that seem to contradict reason or common sense. The superior Spirits don't mind it. On the contrary: they recommend that this be done, because, having nothing to fear, they know that those who fear such control are systematic and, above all, mystifying Spirits, who will end up moving away from the group where their mystifications fool no one. This is an excellent way to keep the group, including the mediums, free from fascinating and deceiving Spirits.

By not having accomplished this task, the Spiritist Movement blindly accepted serious mystifications, such as those in Brazil, Heart of the World, Homeland of the Gospel, or the imaginations of André Luiz, in Nosso Lar — a case that would most likely be similar to the one presented above.

Kardec, in the article “Exams of the mediumistic communications that they send us”, from the Spiritist Magazine of May 1863, demonstrates the care and seriousness that the Parisian Society of Spiritist Studies had with the mediumistic communications that were sent to it. It is a true lesson in seriousness regarding spiritual science, which is why we reproduce it in full:…

“Many communications were sent to us by different groups, already asking for advice and judgment on their trends, already, like a few, in the hope of publication in Magazine. They were all sent to us with the right to dispose of them as we saw fit for the good of the cause. We have examined and classified them, and do not be surprised at the impossibility of publishing them all, when you know that in addition to those already published, there are more than three thousand and six hundred which, by themselves, would have absorbed five years complete from the Magazine, not counting a certain number of more or less voluminous manuscripts that we will talk about later. The summary of this exam will provide us with a topic for some reflections, which everyone can benefit from.

Among them we find some notoriously bad, in substance and in form, evidently the product of ignorant, obsessive or mystifying Spirits who swear by the more or less pompous names with which they sign them. Publishing them would have been giving weapons to critics. A noteworthy circumstance is that almost all communications in this category emanate from isolated individuals and not from groups. Only fascination could lead them to be taken seriously, and prevent them from seeing the ridiculous side. As we know, isolation favors fascination, while meetings find control in the plurality of opinions.

We recognize, however, with pleasure, that communications of this nature form, in the mass, a small minority. Most of the others contain good thoughts and excellent advice, but do not deny that they are all good for publication, for the reasons we will explain.

Good Spirits teach more or less the same thing everywhere, because everywhere there are the same vices to reform and the same virtues to preach, and this is one of the distinctive characteristics of Spiritism, as generally the difference is only in the greater or minor correction and elegance of style.

To appreciate communications aimed at advertising, you cannot analyze them from your point of view, but from the public's point of view. We understand the satisfaction one experiences when obtaining something good, especially when starting out, but beyond the fact that certain people may have illusions regarding intrinsic merit, one does not think that there are hundreds of other places where similar things can be obtained, and what is of powerful individual interest can be banality for the masses.

Furthermore, it is necessary to consider that over some time now communications have acquired, in all aspects, proportions and qualities that leave far behind those obtained a few years ago. What was admired then appears pale and mean next to what is obtained today. In most really serious centers, the teaching of Spirits grew with the understanding of Spiritism. Considering that more or less identical instructions are received everywhere, its publication may be of interest only on condition that it presents special qualities, both in form and instructive scope. It would therefore be an illusion to believe that every message must find numerous and enthusiastic readers. In the past, the smallest spiritist conversation was new and attracted attention. Today, when spiritists and mediums are countless, what was a rarity is an almost banal and habitual fact, and which has been distanced by the breadth and reach of current communications, just as school duties are by the work of adults.

We have before us the collection of a newspaper published at the beginning of the demonstrations, under the title of La Table Parlante, characteristic title of the time. It is said that the newspaper had 1,500 to 1,800 subscribers, an enormous figure for that time. It contained a lot of small family conversations and mediumistic facts that then had the enormous attraction of curiosity. Then we look in vain for something to reproduce in our Magazine. Whatever we had chosen, today it would be childish, of no interest. If this newspaper had not disappeared, due to circumstances that are irrelevant, it could only have lived with the condition of following the progress of Science, and if it reappeared now under the same conditions, it would not have fifty subscribers. Spiritists are immensely more numerous than then, it is true, but they are more enlightened and want more substantial teachings.

If communications emanated from a single center, readers would undoubtedly multiply due to the number of followers, but we must not lose sight of the fact that the sources that produce them number in the thousands, and that everywhere they are Once superior things are obtained, there can be no interest in what is weak and mediocre.

What we say is not to discourage publications. Far from it. But to show the need for rigorous choice, condition sine qua non of success. By elevating their teachings, the Spirits made them more difficult and even demanding for us. Local publications can be immensely useful, under a double aspect, that of spreading the teaching given in private to the masses, and then of showing the agreement that exists in this teaching on various points. We will always applaud this, and we will encourage you every time they are done under good conditions.

To begin with, it is worth discarding everything that, being of private interest, is of interest only to those who are interested in it, and then, everything that is vulgar in style and ideas, or puerile in subject matter.

A thing may be excellent in itself and very good for personal instruction, but what must be delivered to the public requires special conditions. Unfortunately, man is inclined to assume that whatever pleases him must please others. The most skillful can make a mistake. The essential thing is to make as little mistakes as possible. There are Spirits who take pleasure in feeding this illusion in certain mediums, so it would never be too much to recommend them not to trust their own judgment. This is where groups are useful, due to the multiplicity of opinions that can be collected. Anyone who, in this case, would reject the opinion of the majority, considering himself more enlightened than everyone else, would clearly prove the bad influence under which he finds himself.

Applying these principles of eclecticism to the communications sent to us, we will say that out of 3,600, there are more than 3,000 who are of irreproachable morality, and excellent as a background, but that of that number there are not 300 for publicity, and only one hundred of unquestionable merit. Considering that these communications came from many different points, we infer that the proportion must be more or less general. From this we can judge the need not to recklessly publish everything that comes from the Spirits, if we want to achieve the objective we propose, both from a material point of view and from the moral effect and the opinion that indifferent people may have about Spiritism.

It remains for us to say a few words about the manuscripts or impressive works that they sent us, among which, out of thirty, we found five or six of real value.

In the invisible world, as on Earth, there is no shortage of writers, but good ones are rare. Such a Spirit is able to dictate good isolated communication; to give excellent private advice, but is incapable of complete work that can stand an examination, whatever his intentions. On the other hand, the name with which he takes pleasure in disguising himself is not a guarantee. The louder the name, the more obliging. Now, it is easier to take a name than to justify it. This is why, alongside some good thoughts, there are sometimes eccentric ideas and the less equivocal traces of the most profound ignorance. It is in these types of mediumistic works that we have noticed more signs of obsession, of which one of the most frequent is the injunction on the part of the Spirit to have them printed, and more than one mistakenly thinks that such a recommendation is enough to find a publisher interested in the business. .

It is especially in such a case that a scrupulous examination becomes necessary, if we do not want to expose ourselves to learning at our own expense. Furthermore, it is the best way to ward off presumptuous and pseudo-wise Spirits, who invariably withdraw when they do not find docile instruments to make them accept their words as articles of faith. The intrusion of these Spirits into communications is ─ and this is a known fact ─ Spiritism's greatest obstacle. There are few precautions to avoid regrettable publications. In such cases, it is better to err on the side of caution, in the interests of the cause.

In short, by publishing communications worthy of interest, you do a useful thing. By publishing those that are weak, insignificant or bad, you do more harm than good.

A no less important consideration is that of opportunity. There are some whose publication is untimely, and therefore harmful. Each thing must come in its own time. Several of them addressed to us are in this case and, although very good, should be postponed. As for the others, they will find their place according to the circumstances and their objective.”

It is not my custom to address groups or individuals in particular. In this case, in relation to the group “Casa Plataforma de Pração”, I think this is essential, since it uses the name of Spiritism.

I want to start by reminding you that the Mediumship is not exclusive to any religion, nor to Spiritism. Everyone can practice it, good or bad. The problem is when you put aside a science and its knowledge, obtained through hard research work, while, lightly, using the name and terms of that science to give yourself credibility. Amazingly: the main character of this sect claims to be Kardec himself and constantly compares himself to Jesus, lowering the Master to the level of a lowly worldly man.

Even more serious is when, putting aside this science, but using its name, allow yourself to deceive and be deceived precisely because of the errors that would be avoided by the real knowledge it brings.

Spiritism, as we know from our studies, does not cast anathema. Rather it says: to each according to his works. In fact, in no way do I come to judge the intentions of this group, which may be commendable... But I think it is up to us to point out and defend Spiritism when others launch false ideas in its name.

What we unfortunately see, on the aforementioned group's channel, is a great danger that they themselves run: mediums who have given themselves over to blind belief in what the Spirits say, if they say so. They give in to fascination and obsession and lightly, without knowledge, they cite Spiritism, only to deny it.

I do not believe it is necessary to go back to the countless points where spiritist science demonstrated the serious problems into which the practices adopted there throw them. We have some articles that talk about this, like The role of the researcher and the medium in communications with the Spirits, Obsessed and Subjugated — The Dangers of Spiritism and The fight against an obsessive spirit.

There, on the channel of the Casa Plataforma de Oração group, we see not only a persistent action of Spirits who use venerable names to launch the most complete absurdities, which should not happen among people who study Spiritism. We also see frequent reference to Spiritism, but not as sources of studies.

Refer only in name and terms, but only disseminate ideas contrary to the Spiritist Doctrine and they attack the defenders of spiritist science, calling them “impressed spiritists”, for demonstrating that Spiritism contradicts what they say.

The position they adopted is regrettable, much more so for them, who will have a lot to atone for in the future, but also for those who listen to them. Many neophytes may fall into one of their videos, believing that they are talking about Spiritism, and thus accepting the most absurd and even harmful things.

That's just what I want to highlight, adding: it's a shame that, instead of seeking healthy mediumship, offering to cooperate, they choose to fall into the most terrible mistakes, so often found by Kardec in the study of Spiritism. They go so far as to admit the absurd ideas that were born from the book “Letters of Christ”, where it is stated that Jesus, before “awakening” to his mission, would have been a braggart, a drunkard and a womanizer. But it doesn’t stop there: the main “medium” there even compares himself to Jesus Christ!

Let this serve as a warning to those who have doubts: what is practiced there is mediumship, practiced without any care, and not Spiritism. If Spiritism were present, through the study of Kardec's works, born of serious scientific methodology, we would not see regrettable mistakes, completely absurd ideas and attacks on reason in their meetings, recorded on video.

Psychography of Chico Xavier: would it be possible to evoke and obtain responses from Spirits like those who animated Chico Xavier and Allan Kardec, among others?

It is a recognized fact in spiritist science that we can evoke Spirits and that, done with good purposes and with the knowledge that this science gives us, they come willingly, with a desire to dialogue with those who seek to learn from them. It would be a mistake to believe that only superior Spirits would qualify in this case, but it is correct to say that only good Spirits, of all elevations, would qualify, since the bad ones will come with bad intentions (unless when evoked with serious and useful purposes). ) and will only find resonance among those in whom they find the imperfections that they themselves carry. The evocation of Spirits like those of Chico Xavier and Allan Kardec is possible and very useful, and no one has a monopoly on them. But it is clear that these communications will depend on the intentions, knowledge and moral state of those who carry them out..

Those who intend to have dominion over certain Spirits, as well as those who wish to place themselves under the dominion of a particular Spirit, who generally gives a pompous and influential name and who exalt their own pride, will not only be in serious error, ignoring all the wealth of knowledge formed by the dedicated studies of Allan Kardec, how they will be setting themselves on the bitter path that begins with fascination and inevitably leads to obsession and madness.

That said, we want to deal with the evocation of the Spirit of Chico Xavier, exposed on the website Digital Spiritist Magazine. This is a longer article, but we will focus on this Spirit. The highlights are ours:

About Jesus

Another Spirit evoked was Chico Xavier, who was asked the following questions:

1. Could you tell us about how you understood Jesus, when in the body, and how you understand him now, as a Spirit?
2. Did you see Jesus as soon as he left his physical body?

3. Do you see him in our midst now? If you do, could you tell us how you perceive it?

Here are the answers:

“I'm here again, friends, happy for this opportunity that God offers us.

When I was in the body, I saw Jesus as a star of the first magnitude, which illuminated men and Spirits, but which was thousands of light years away from us; this idea was taught to us in our last existence from an early age, through the religious teaching of the past, and after we began to dedicate ourselves to mediumship, Religious spirits came to reaffirm our prejudices regarding this point, which we did not question, because such ideas were settled in our soul.. I thought that Jesus loved humanity, but I didn't realize that he attributed to him some of the characteristics that we see in many of the powerful people on Earth: they are difficult for the average man to access; They appear to be very busy, and therefore we cannot relate to them directly except through a lot of effort and some intermediaries. In fact, I had not understood the lessons that are present in the evangelical tradition, especially that Jesus would not leave us orphans, as well as that he would always be with those who called him, as long as they did not forget to love their neighbors. ((“Wherever two or three people are gathered together in my name, there I will be with them.” (Matt. XVIII, 20). ))

Today, I still see Jesus as a star, but I understand that if there is a huge distance that separates us from his position in the hierarchy, it is not for this reason that he is distant, because, as you know, your perispiritual fluid expands and radiates with perfection, reaching Spirits and men with a range that I would not know exactly. I see him today, above all, as an older and more mature brother who wants to teach us how to walk towards the Father's house.

I didn't see Jesus right after I died because I didn't consider that possibility at all, but if prejudice hadn't been such a big obstacle, I would have immediately sought him out by thought. However, this meeting was postponed for some time, until I could review my preconceived ideas. I learned that we can all see him, touch him, learn from him, and that he never refuses to reach out and help us with our immense ignorance.

I see Jesus here, in our midst, watching over everyone; I glimpse an illuminated face, but I can't capture the nuances of its face. However, I can see your gaze, so tender and so sweet... Your eyes denote an unchanging serenity, and are more beautiful than the most dazzling sunset. Lights come from his spiritual body, which he transmits to all who desire good, communicating his virtue to them and ensuring that his seed reaches the deep soil of hearts of good will. The sight is beautiful, friends, and I must say that all of us who are here bow before him with love and recognition, because his presence inspires pity and deep reverence. May Jesus be the lighthouse where we can all rest our eyes, taking advantage of his lights to walk along the good path that he shows us.

Receive a hug from someone who is very grateful to be among you. I recognize that I am not up to the task of answering such serious questions with benefit, and therefore I ask that you disregard any mistake that I may have made so far.” ((The group had evoked this same Spirit several times to instruct themselves on some issues regarding mediumship, the perispirit and other subjects. This is what he refers to.))

Chico Xavier
(Psychographed on December 6, 2016.)

DIGITAL SPIRIT MAGAZINE. About Jesus and the Spirit of Truth. Accessed on 10/05/2023. Available in https://www.revistaespirita.net/pt-br/artigo/57/sobre-jesus-e-o-espirito-de-verdade

The fact that it is a serious group, with knowledge of Spiritism and with good intentions, makes communication more reliable, although it must always be analyzed with caution, especially when the Spirit presents itself under a well-known and influential name. . In the case in question, it seems to me to be a language very similar to that of Chico in life, with characteristic signs. But what matters most is the background, which, instead of clashing with the Doctrine, confirms it in its nuances.

For example: “its perispiritual fluid expands and radiates with perfection, reaching Spirits and men with a range that I would not know exactly how to define”. This excerpt is in perfect agreement with the understanding left in Genesis and ends with a humble recognition of the inability to understand.

My only observation, then, is that this Spirit “materializes” the image of Christ, transmitting a human figure and, on this point, I would question, to be clear, since the predominant idea in the Spiritist Movement is linked precisely to this aspect of an excessive “materialization” of the world of Spirits. It may just be a figure of speech, as it may also be “the religious teaching of yesteryear”.

Let us keep this lesson in mind: we can and must resume practical Spiritism in our homes and small groups, treating it with the necessary seriousness. This cannot be made a source of mere curiosity or entertainment, which would place the participants of such responsibility on that previously mentioned ill-fated path... But, with good purpose and knowledge, communication with the Spirits is useful and beneficial, for both sides. , and does not need to be carried out only in the spiritist center.

I suggest reading the available PDFs in this link.

My mission in this article is to provoke you about the subject: can you practice mediumship at home? I want you to not be able to contain yourself, clicking on the button at the end of it to download a PDF talking about the issue of communications with Spirits. Happy studying!

So does this mean that it is not dangerous to call Spirits into homes?

Another fallacy that has spread, and we want to believe that it is more due to ignorance than the malice of those who defend it, is the danger of communicating with Spirits in homes. Now, if it is possible to communicate with them even in prisons, it is even more possible to call loved ones in homes.

It is not the evocation that attracts the Spirits

Another important point to be considered, in the light of Spiritism, is that Spirits are not attracted by the direct call of men, that is, by evocation. Many of those who have suffered or are suffering from an obsession have never evoked the Spirits and do not even know that this would be possible. All the cures for obsessions that were published by Allan Kardec in his Magazine were from this issue. We were able to see this fact in relation to those who suffered from obsessions today, and who were cured.

Children at spiritist meetings

Many people may wonder: can children participate in spiritist meetings at home? We could answer this question with another: are children part of the family? No one could say no, or say that to be a member of the family you need to be a minimum age. Now, what are children? Aren't they incarnated Spirits, to whom the spiritist world is not strange? Aren't children familiar with their Angels, who are also Spirits, from the cradle, and even before they are born?
