I put the term in quotes regiment because, to date, we do not intend to make this group a legal entity or any body registered with official bodies. This one stays regiment, for the time being, bound under a code of honor, that is, the participants of the group attest, before the other participants and their own consciences, that they have accepted its terms and conditions.

  1. Only people under the following conditions can participate in this group:
    1. Supporters of the Spiritist Doctrine who want to obtain its teachings but who, in the condition of deeper ignorance of its teachings, will refrain from taking a voice to criticize or put ideas and points of view. The doubts that arise from them, if they are easily clarified in the basic works, will be directed to them, so that the studies are not delayed by basic doubts. Over time, these people may become active participants, but before that, if they insist, they may be silenced or even expelled from the group, in more extreme cases.
    2. People who are openly Spiritists, knowledgeable with some depth of the Spiritist Doctrine, that is, having already carried out studies, at least, of the Spirits' Book, who will be able to participate actively in the study meetings that are organized.
  2. People who, without humility and without the purpose of surrendering to the clearest explanations and evidences, already confirmed by Spiritism, will not be accepted and, if they are, they may be expelled from the group with the sole purpose of causing a stir or controversy. .
  3. This group is not about politics.. Spiritism, in itself, is a transforming movement of ideas, but it should not be used as an electoral platform for any political ideology, for the reasons already mentioned. in this article.
