The double concept of good and evil is a false idea<\/strong>: doing what is right is considered acting in good, while making mistakes is seen as acting in evil. Consequently, each failure committed by the person accompanies self-condemnation, as if committing an evil act. In reality, it is natural to make mistakes when carrying out any activity that we have not yet mastered in our lives; This is not evil, but simply a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, through this false mentality, the person believes that it is better to avoid mistakes. But how can you avoid mistakes? \u201cDo as I say\u201d is what religious leaders and academics alike say, demanding blind obedience. In the gym, you often hear, \u201cDo as I say.\u201d \u201cYou are incapable, I know what is best!\u201d \u201cLearn from me and repeat my words!\u201d (HETERONOMY). However, memorizing and imposing does not lead to learning, as each individual has their own way of learning and understanding; some faster, others less; skills differ from individual to individual; Who said there was only one right way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

True progress lies in everyone understanding the reasons why things don't work. It is impossible to achieve something without trying. Unfortunately, we condition ourselves to fear error as a sin, which paralyzes people, preventing them from trying and, consequently, from evolving. This notion is absurd; It's a false idea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Error only becomes truly harmful when it is committed consciously and persisted.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allan Kardec established that Spiritism is a Philosophical Science, a classification from the 19th century. At that time, science was divided between Natural Sciences and Philosophical Sciences<\/strong>, the latter included the spiritualists<\/a><\/strong>. At that time, all these philosophical ideas were being discussed. Surprisingly, when revisiting the academic texts of that century, we discovered scientific spiritualism, which, together with Spiritism, has the potential to build a new world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the book \u201cHeaven and Hell\u201d,<\/a> Spiritism explains that the double concept of good and evil are not personified in God and the Devil, nor are they limited to the exclusive division between the saved and the damned. This false dichotomy diverts humanity from the correct path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no battle between good and evil; any statement to the contrary is misleading, as Evil is an illusion that dissipates when understood (AUTONOMY). Understanding is the tool of Good.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

All creation exists in function of divine law, God's ministers organize the worlds, life and humanities according to the path of good. But the human spirit needs act in good<\/strong> by understanding the truth, in a free and disinterested way, that is, You need to overcome the false idea through your effort, conquering faith supported by reason: rational faith!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you understand correctly, hold your head up, do your best and feel happy and at peace with yourself. That's the goal! This example is transformative and challenges many of those who seek happiness through competition or superiority over others. It is this explanation that we must share with the world through Spiritism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
