We have the general forgetfulness of the past life for a very important reason: so that the past, known objectively, in its details, does not get in the way of our walk. See: it is convenient for Spirits of our evolution, for example, not to remember that we did harm to the family member who helps us today, which could hinder our learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this oblivion is not total. We are not a blank page in each incarnation. We have, in each of them, a more or less new, different personality, shaped according to the creation of the family and the customs of the society in which we are inserted, but our true \u201cI\u201d is demonstrating its virtues and its imperfections from the first steps. from childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of our Spirit, so to speak, is what we really are \u2013 in fact, this is what attracts or repels good or bad Spirits, and that is why a merely superficial modification (let alone rituals) does not drives them away or attracts them. During life, we often wear a mask of pride and vanity, which aims to hide, from ourselves and from others, our true face - especially with regard to moral imperfections. We get distracted by mundane things, not having much courage to face our inner selves. However, this is precisely what Spiritism calls attention to, repeating and expanding the teachings of Jesus: we need to put aside this mask, learning to look inside ourselves with the hard and judgmental look we keep to look at the defects of others. .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we do this, we almost always discover \u2013 which can be greatly helped by a psychologist \u2013 a set of imperfections, many of them linked to the cultivation of passions. Whoever takes this step, far from feeling guilty, should feel happy for the bravery of coldly analyzing himself. With this, we must start to lead ourselves without fading, but calmly, step by step, on the path of moving away from these imperfections, developing better virtues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This, in itself, which even makes me shiver to think about, constitutes a whole philosophy capable of completely modifying the directions of a Spirit that feels tired of suffering for its imperfections, and, in itself, this represents the essence of Spiritism, and not any concepts of sin and punishment, since guilt and punishment live only in our minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We leave the indication of the following video, from the study group Spiritism for All<\/a>, with a deep digression in this regard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
