In this article, Kardec highlights that the Magnetism<\/strong> it was taught as a fact even within the Catholic Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have in our hands a booklet entitled Abr\u00e9g\u00e9, en form de cat\u00e9chisme, of the elementary course of Christian instruction, for use in catechism and in Christian schools.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In one of the chapters on the first commandment, where sins against religion are treated, and after having spoken of superstition, magic and sorcery, he says the following:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q. \u2500 What is magnetism?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

R. \u2500 <\/em>It is a reciprocal influence that sometimes operates on individuals, according to a harmony of relationships.<\/em><\/strong>, either by the will or by the imagination, or by the physical sensibility, and whose main phenomena are somnolence, sleep, somnambulism and the convulsive state.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

"P. \u2500 What are the effects of magnetism?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cR. \u2500 Ordinarily, it is said, magnetism produces two main effects: 1st) A state of somnambulism, in which the magnetized person, completely deprived of the use of the senses, sees, hears, speaks and answers all the questions that are asked to him. directed; 2nd) <\/em>An intelligence and wisdom that only exist in crisis<\/em><\/strong>: he knows his condition, the suitable remedies for his ailments, as well as what certain people, even distant, do.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comment: <\/strong>We could add to this the magnetic interaction between individuals at will. A question of autonomy enters here, because, in this context, nothing happens with the individual without his will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

"P. \u2500 In good conscience, is it lawful to magnetize or allow oneself to be magnetized?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cR. \u2500 1st) If, for the magnetic operation, means are used, or if effects are obtained by it that presuppose diabolic intervention, it will be a superstitious work and must never be allowed; 2) The same is true when magnetic communications are contrary to modesty; 3rd) Assuming care is taken to keep away from the practice of magnetism any abuse, any danger to faith or customs, any pact with the devil, it is doubtful whether he is allowed to have recourse to it as a natural and useful remedy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Despite the contradiction, it is a book intended for the religious education of the masses. Completes Kardec: \u201cThe author's qualification is of great importance here. <\/em>It is not an obscure man who speaks or a simple priest who expresses his opinion: he is a vicar general who teaches<\/em><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another setback and another warning to those who judge too hastily.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
