Although literature and cinema have only recently discovered the commercial success that the exploration of dimensions or parallel universes represents , the truth is that descriptions of a reality that walks and interacts with our own was already treated and popularized in the 1940s through mediumship. by Chico Xavier , especially in the books received from the Spirit known as André Luiz . The most fascinating thing is the richness of detail with which screenwriters currently create scenes, sets and sequences like in MATRIX, INTERSTELLAR. Or recreate? They could easily be framed in the possibility raised by Allan Kardec in one of his texts where he says that “as the spirits cannot sustain the penalty without an intermediary, they have it supported by someone called a medium, whom they inspire and direct. Sometimes this medium acts without knowledge of the cause: he is a medium properly speaking; other times it acts unconsciously of the cause that requests it: this is the case of all inspired men, who are thus mediums without knowing it”. We could consider such images to be reminiscences of incursions into the Spiritual Plane made possible by the natural unfolding of sleep. Studies possible to anyone interested today, demonstrate that the Celts centuries before the Master Jesus spoke of the “ many mansions of our Father's house” ; by the poet Dante Aliguieritake us to the landscapes of the Divine Comedy; of the genius Emmanuel Swedenborg, to offer the works derived from his visions of the Existential Planes adjacent to ours; by Allan Kardec to reproduce in question 85 of ' O LIVRO DOS ESPÍRITS ' , that between the 'Material and Spiritual Worlds, the second is the most important, because, there, everything that exists here originates and continues '; of the Reverend Dale Owen offering the details of LIFE BEYOND THE VEIL ; and, from the Spirit Maria João de Deus with her LETTERS FROM A DEAD (1935, lake), life after death was already seen as a natural and real fact. Chico Xavier, by the way, before the Superstring Theory was formulated, he said naturally in an interview that the “plane we live on is nothing more than an extension of the Spiritual ”. In the book LIBERTAÇÃO (1957, feb), chapter 4, for example, we are taken to know “a strange city, located in a 'vast domain of shadows', gray sky, vegetation showing a sinister aspect, ominous birds, of great size, resembling themselves to small winged monsters, spying on hidden prey .” Inquiring from the Instructor Gubio who accompanied him, “ why God allows such absurdity ”, it is reported that “for the same educational reasons through which it does not annihilate a human nation when, maddened by the thirst for domination, it unleashes bloody and destructive wars, but surrenders to the expiation of its own crimes and to the misfortune of itself, so that it learns to integrate itself in the order eternal that presides over universal life. From period to period, each counted for several centuries, the matter used by similar intelligences is revolved and restructured, as happens in earthly circles ”, finally registering that “ the cursed geniuses, the demons of all times are ourselves. when we unrepentantly deviate from the Law ” . Already in the book, WORKERS OF ETERNAL LIFE (1947; feb), describing his participation in an excursion through a dark region beyond the magnetic limits covered by an itinerant institution called Casa Transitória Fabiano de Cristo , André Luiz confesses that “ in other circumstances and at another time, he would not have been able to master the dread that infused the landscape dark and mysterious (...). Strange sounds roamed in space. He could perfectly hear the screams of wild beings and, in the midst of them, painful human groans, emitted, perhaps, from an immense distance. Birds of monstrous configuration, blacker than the night, from far and far away from our path, frightened. And though the shadow was thick, it observed something of the infinite desolation of the surroundings.”. After reaching a swampy area, where low vegetation stands out, where withered herbs and sad bushes appeared indistinctly from the ground, André kept the clear impression that voices came from people mired in repellent substances, not containing the question whether human souls lay there, “ triggered unexpected reactions such as the transformation of indiscriminate wailing into touching pleas, at the same time as animalistic and crawling figures, resembling saurians of enormous proportions, advanced towards the caravan, leaving the deepest part of the pond, in large numbers, giving to astonish the most intrepid spirit .” He adds that“tiny devices, emitting electric shock beams, through insignificant explosions, which, despite being of weak detonation, revealed vigorous power, causing the monstrous attackers to retreat, precipitous, retreating to the swamp, in a spectacular fall on the thick mud” .
EM BUSCA DA VERDADE COM O PROFESSOR JOSÉ BENEVIDES CAVALCANTE
Parents are losing control of their children. They were also not well educated and therefore have difficulty educating. Drugs and materialism have taken over everything. What to do?
Difficult question to answer. We believe that there is no ready and definitive answer for all cases and for all parents. What exists are paths, choices that conscious parents can make while there is still time. We say “conscious parents” because not all mothers and not all fathers have understood the important mission that God has delegated to them in this life. When we separate God from our lives, everything is valid, even the evil we can do.
In Spiritist Doctrine, the understanding of what the mission of parents is is very broad, because we do not consider only this existence. Children are not created exclusively for these parents in this life, nor do they present themselves to the world as a blank slate where everything is yet to be written. No, children are spirits already lived with virtues and defects, and with whom these parents today have made a commitment. Their main role in relation to these children is to educate them or, better still, to re-educate them spiritually based on the tendencies they show.
It is up to these parents to receive them with love and devotion, to perceive the tendencies they bring from a past incarnation, to seek to perceive them in their intimacy, in an attempt to boost their moral evolution. We speak of moral evolution, because intellectual evolution is relatively easy; the difficult thing is to direct the children in the path of good.
Within our cultural milieu, parents, teachers, schools are generally very interested in the technical, artistic and professional training of the new generations so that they become important people in society and, in the vulgar saying, “to succeed in life”. But they forget that, for life, we first need to think about the formation of the good man, the person of character who, above all, is aware that he is a citizen of the world, contributing his share of effort to the common good.
It is a big mistake for many parents to expect their children's character to be formed, far from humanistic concepts, spiritual or even religious values. Parents educate themselves along with their children. It is impossible to educate without educating yourself. If they want to form good men, they necessarily need to follow this same path, setting the example in which their children should look up. Parents do not have an obligation to be perfect, but they do have a moral obligation to strive for it.
In a lecture, psychologist Rossandro Klinjei referred to a survey carried out in 22 countries with the objective of identifying the causes that lead medical students, already in their mid-course, to become dependent on drugs or alcohol. At a certain point in the studies, the researchers wanted to know why many academics do not use drugs or alcohol, what factors would have contributed to them, despite the insistence of the environment and colleagues, to avoid this behavior.
So, they started to name the factors and found that the behavior of not using drugs had nothing to do with the countries where they lived, it had nothing to do with the social classes to which they belonged, it had nothing to do with the religion of the family. The only common point between them is that, around the age of 6, these students participated in religious activities together with their parents. In a way, this explains why Chico Xavier always said: “don't forget to teach God to your children” – and teaching is not just talking, it's participating with them.
Today, especially in this electronic age, when even children are fascinated by smartphones and other electronic devices, parents themselves need to seek their children in personal relationships, where they can enjoy living together. However, if possible, if you have a religion, do not forget to be accompanied by your children in their religious activities.
