ALREADY KNOW (Mehemet-Ali); IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH WITH THE TEACHER

 

Did ancient Egyptian priests receive manifestations of Spirits?  - Yes. 39.- Did the manifestations received by the Egyptian priests have the same source as those received by Moses? - Yes. This was started by those . 40.- Why, then, the manifestations received by Moses were more powerful than those received by the Egyptian priests - Moses wanted to reveal, while the Egyptian priests only wanted to hide them . 41.- Do you think that the doctrine of the Egyptian priests had any connection with that of the Indians? - Yes. All mother religions are linked together by almost invisible bonds: they come from the same source . 42.- Of these two religions, that is, the Egyptians and the Indians, which is the matrix? - They are sisters . 43.- How is it that you, who in life were so little enlightened on these matters, can now answer with such depth? - Other existences taught me. The excerpt is from the curious interview made at the meeting of March 16, 1858 with a Spirit named Mehemet-Ali , disincarnated in 1849. Born in 1769, in Kavala, in Romelia, in 1805, he was made Khedive - a kind of Viceroy - of Egypt, having participated, alongside the Sultan, in the Greco-Turkish war, later turning , against the ally. Historically, from 1805 to 1848, he served as Governor of the Ottoman Empire, on behalf of the Sultan, being considered the founder of Modern Egypt, introducing major reforms in the country, including the construction of irrigation channels for better distribution of the waters of the Nile River, construction of buildings, establishment of new laws, taxes and the modernization of the army, having achieved considerable autonomy against the Ottoman Empire, considerably expanding its borders. Despite the nine years that have elapsed since his disincarnation, Mehemet-Ali, informed that he still did not have a clear memory of his last existence, feeling that he was still under the effect of the physical death of the body in which he was incarnated . He remembered, however, being in the penultimate physical existence, socially, a poor person who envied earthly greatness, climbing the social scale in the return to material experiences, to experience the condition of wealth , saying that if he could be reborn on Earth again, he would choose an obscure life where duties are less, since in the one just finished it represented the vanity of nothingness, he wanted to lead men, without knowing how to lead himself . On being accused of acts of great cruelty, he said that he was atoning for them, even seeing those he had massacred.; that he and his enemy Sultan Mahmud run away from each other because of their mutual aversion . Asked to give an opinion on the causes of the moral decay of ancient Egypt, he said that the corruption of customs was decisive ; that he had full knowledge of his former existences, except the last, having lived three times in the time of the Pharaohs, as a priest in the time of Sesostrotris, as a beggar, and as a prince . In the November 1858 issue of REVISTA ESPÍRITA , Allan Kardec reproduces a second interview with the Spirit Mehemet-Ali, expanding a little on the content of the first manifestation. about theconstruction of the pyramids, revealed that they were tombs and temples, where great manifestations took place; that they had no scientific aim, since religious interest absorbed everything ; that man was the machine used in its construction, absorbing masses of them that groaned under the weight of those stones; people who worked under the rule of force . Asked where the Egyptians got their taste for colossal things instead of graceful things like the Greeks, he stated that the Egyptians were touched by the greatness of God, seeking to equal him, surpassing their own strength, typical behavior of man . About the existence in which he was a priest,reported that corrupted rulers and ruled believed their priests to be gods who held them in yoke; that about life after death, they believed what the priests said ; that the great ones of the State oscillated between the beliefs of the people and that of the priests ; that the origin of the worship rendered to animals resulted from the desire to turn man away from God and keep him under his dominion, giving him inferior beings as gods ; that the use of animals such as serpents and crocodiles was based on the fact that man worshiped what he feared, constituting a game for the people, since man everywhere seeks gods to hide what he is ; thatrepresentation of Osiris with the head of a hawk and Anubis with the head of a dog, arose from the fact that the Egyptian liked to personify in the form of clear emblems: Anubis was good; the sparrowhawk represented the cruel Osiris . On the contradiction between respect for the dead and contempt and horror for those who buried and mummified them, he clarified that the corpse was an instrument of manifestations, as they believed that the Spirit returned to the body it had animated , the body being one of the instruments of the cult. , for being sacred , the persecution being born from the fact that they had dared to violate the sanctity of death ; that the conservation of the body gave rise to numerous and long manifestations ; he also revealed thatin Egypt initiation was carried out through more rigorous practices than in Greece, imposed so that there were only superior souls who knew how to understand and be silent ; concluding, finally, that all teaching was very corrupt, since the end of the priests was to dominate and not to instruct .

  If the world is evolving, how do you explain so much corruption, so much violence and misery that still exists in humanity?

 The evolution of Spirits is in the laws of nature. At the collective level – that is, at the level of humanity – it takes place through the transformations that have taken place over the centuries. Thus, the humanity of today, the 21st century, is not the same humanity of the time of Jesus. Since then, there have been many transformations, both in individuals and in collectivities.

 The material progress of the world – which depends on the use of intelligence – is relatively easy; difficult is the moral transformation of individuals. Therefore, moral evolution follows intellectual evolution. About this, the great scientist, Albert Einstein, even said that “it is easier to disintegrate an atom than to destroy a prejudice”. The atom can be manipulated by human hands, but prejudice is a deep disease of the soul.

 However, we need to understand that one thing leads to another. The advancement of science contributes to moral evolution, but moral transformations only happen with a lot of suffering, which leads individuals and communities to reflect and mature. The Spirits told Kardec that, many times, evil needs to reach excess so that man becomes aware of the need for good.

 So don't expect miracles in terms of change. A bad person doesn't suddenly become good. It is not how it works. All change takes place through a more or less long process: for humanity, this can last several generations, for the individual, several incarnations. No one leaves a vice overnight, just as no one acquires a virtue overnight.

The forces of evil still prevail on Earth because of our selfish tendencies and our pride. To overcome them, it is necessary that the good begin to impose themselves through the respect they inspire, becoming aware of their commitment to the Good, to Truth and to Justice.

Humanity's spiritual improvement process goes unnoticed when we stop seeing the good things and focus on the bad things. A tree, when it falls, causes a huge noise in the forest that scares the animals, but the millions of seeds that are germinating go completely unnoticed. We need to be aware that, right now, millions of good deeds are being done all over the planet, asking for our participation, and we are generally not counting on it.

  We point out the bad too quickly and easily and ignore the good that is happening all the time, forgetting to value it. We criticize more than we praise, highlighting the bad rather than reinforcing the good. A small stain on a white surface is enough to catch our attention and, at that moment, we just look at it. We do this in relation to our family members and especially in relation to our children. We want the world to improve, but how, if we don't strive to improve ourselves?

PAIN TRANSMUTED INTO HOPE; IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH WITH THE TEACHER

 It was dawn on November 7, 1981 in Goiânia when the small plane took off in the direction of Alto Paraíso, northeast region of the state. Among the three crew members, one, Ary Ribeiro Valadão Filho,supervised the Rio Formoso Project focused on the development of the region. In the middle of the way, an accident would interrupt the flight plan, causing the aircraft to fall, followed by an explosion and fire that would determine the 30-year-old engineer's death six days later. Once the survivors were removed to the capital's Hospital, the evolution of the situation they were in caught the attention of the population of the State, which anguished followed the news bulletins that updated medical information. Ary was the son of the then acting Governor, who, along with the other family members, lived through distressing moments until the young man died. Experiencing the indescribable pain of losing a loved one, their mother and two sisters, four months later,Chico Xavier , through his extraordinary mediumship, became a kind of post office from the beyond, bringing letters from those who had left before. The trip was compensated for by the psychography through the medium of one of the longest and most moving messages in the extensive collection resulting from the work of Chico Xavier . Starting his communication, he begs his mother's blessing, thanks the sisters by name, says that " nothing separated them, being united in faith in God", recognizing himself in difficulty to write the letter, saying that he was helped by Uncle Natalino , for " not have enough experience to dress a person's hand as if he were wearing a glove”. He relives scenes from the sinister, saying that “Moments like those of last November 7 are indescribable in their details. I know that Mauro decided to land; naturally given his experience, I didn't think of any consideration for a companion, whose competence I got used to respecting. The result, however, is that the narrowness of the field did not allow us to maneuver capable of promoting broader measures than those we assumed inside the machine. The collision with the tree was violent, in view of the understandable speed. And the rest is what they know, perhaps more than I do, because, in trying to free the two comrades who were finding it difficult to get rid of the impediments at the time, the explosion attacked us all”. Referring to later events, he says that“The thoughts of the end for my body had not yet come to my mind. However, when I saw the conditions of the companions, especially Mauro, I was afraid that a mirror could tell me what was happening. Recalling his last moments, he says: -“I freed myself, little by little, from that intimate toxemia that was afflicting me considerably. In prayers, in silence, I waited until I felt soft hands caressing my head and I slept... A heavy sleep, whose images of possible dreams I don't remember. I just slept. I woke up, however, overwhelmed, as if I was under the uncomfortable presence of many people, despite my spirit of gratitude for whoever was there to visit me. I was only surprised to find myself outside the room and, yes, in the middle of the living room; I was in the condition of a semi-anesthetized person under the inability to control myself in terms of movement and direction... I couldn't speak. However, he issued mental cries for help. A friendly-faced stranger extended his arms and invited me to leave, saying that he was in charge of leading me to a new treatment. I accepted without hesitation, the support he extended to me, since he did not allow me to walk; still, although accepting his support, holding one of his shoulders, I felt relieved, lighter... I believed that I was ahead of positive improvements. Guided by my friend, I found a mixed plane of Bonanza and helicopter, with the appearance of a large butterfly, where a man and a woman, who I admitted were my new nurses, were waiting for me. They received me with great care and affection, recommending that I should not be afraid. The stranger took the direction and we left, vertically, like a helicopter, unknown to me, and as we climbed, I breathed in long breaths, the very light and pure air from above. dawn. I recognized that we were heading for Anicuns still, although accepting his support, holding one of his shoulders, I felt relieved, lighter...

Before finishing, he says to his parents: -“Everything happened as it should and I'm getting better and better to be more. The shape changes. Yet we carry on, always ourselves .”

Our Telinha sent us the following question: “Is the transsexual considered wrong? How does Spiritism see this? Even if he has a dignified life with a partner or with a partner?

 Lately, we have dealt several times with this issue, which is still not so well known, requiring further studies. Transsexuality, in broad terms, means the condition of the person who, having a man's body, feels like a woman and is attracted to a man, or, having a female body, feels like a man, attracted to a woman. From the spiritist point of view, it is an incarnation in which there was a psychic inversion, in terms of sexuality, of the spirit in relation to the body.

  Following the incarnations of the Spirit, this dystonia can happen and, whatever the causes that determined it, if this condition really exists (since, generally, it manifests itself since childhood), it is because it is in your roadmap for the evolution of that Spirit and , therefore, it needs to be respected and seen naturally. However, human society, in general, has not yet managed to assimilate this situation without prejudice.

 As sex, from the psychic point of view, is a natural and therefore instinctive force, it will manifest itself in the individual during his development, from childhood, but the way he will incorporate it and use it in his life, it will depend on him, his needs and his vision of life. Certainly, in the case of transsexuals, there are always conflicts with the family, pressures from society, so the fact of having a partner will depend on how he will behave towards everyone and himself.

  The conception that the transsexual is depraved belongs to society, which has been behaving like this over time, without understanding precisely what it is about. Spiritism only guides us towards the practice of goodness and the experience of love, but each one decides the best way to behave within these principles. Depravity can be both in the transsexual and in the heterosexual, as it is in the person's life and in the values ​​that he cultivates before the collectivity.

ABOUT ALIENS; IN SEARCH OF THE TRUTH WITH THE TEACHER

 Four questions and answers are enough to demonstrate the boldness of the teacher hidden under the pseudonym Allan Kardec when dealing with the issue of the plurality of inhabited worlds, at a time when the subject was not among those of greatest interest to human society rooted in 20th century Europe. 19 - Add to that the courage to publish the answers of the Spirits on the subject, stating that “ all the globes that circulate in space are inhabited, and the earthly man is far from being, as the first believes in intelligence, kindness and perfection; that the physical constitution of the different globes do not resemble each other; that the bodily organization of the beings that inhabit them are different, just as among us fish are made to live in water and birds in the air” .By the way , Allan Kardec had paid special attention to the issue by evoking and interviewing at meetings of the Spiritist Society of Paris , in his first and second years, the composer Mozart , based on information from an 18th century painter named Bernard Palissy , supposedly an inhabitant of the planet Jupiter. , an artist who, by the way, used the playwright and medium Victorien Sardou, a layman in painting or drawing, to compose more than ten engravings giving an idea of ​​the vegetation, dwellings and landscapes of that Globe, including the house of the famous classical composer. Kardec also interviewed the great researcher Alexandre Von Humbold,just ten days after his death, in Berlin, which surprised him by revealing that he had been chosen among several candidates to incarnate on Earth in order to contribute to the planet's climate research and inhabit a sphere still unknown by our astronomy. The world moved towards synthesis and, at the end of the 20th century, information came to represent power, especially with the advent of the Internet. Data that could hardly be included in encyclopedias or be in a single library in any country in the world are now easily found. Let's see some curious reports in the literature of ancient civilizations:   INDIA – MAABARATA – Book I, cap 4 – “ Dazzling celestial chariots in great numbers crossed the cloudless sky ”/ Book VIII, cap 8 – “ Devas in their chariots on clouds and gandharvas in the sky They looked down with mute amazement at the human chiefs ”.  EGYPT – BOOK OF THE DEAD – Chapters 124,17 – “ I speak with the adepts of the Gods. I talk to Disco. I speak with the bright Beings ”. /Chapter 78.14 – “ I am one of those bright Beings that live in rays of light ”. BABYLON – CLAY CYLINDERS found in the library of Nineveh – “King Etan, who lived about 5,000 years ago, was taken as an honored guest in a shield-shaped flying ship, which landed in a square behind the royal palace, swirling surrounded by a vortex of flames(...). In the midst of a whirlwind of flame and smoke, it soared so high that the Earth, with its seas, islands, continents, looked like “a loaf of bread in a basket”; then disappeared from view .” JAPAN – “ In 9 BC, on February 10 , 9 suns appeared in the sky which caused much chaos on Earth and the Yamato Dynasty which was thrown into great confusion. It was in the tenth year of Emperor Suinin. There were 9 suns, or solar disks, as the ancients called them, they were flying saucers . ” / In 638 AD -On the 26th of the first month of spring, a long star appeared in the northwest. Priest Bin said it was a broom star .” / On August 11, 671 AD – “ A flaming object was seen flying north from many countries in Japan ”. In Current Civilization, in 1968, the German journalist Erich Von Daniken surprised the world with the result of a research bundled into a book that became a bestseller for several months: WERE THE GODS ASTRONAUTS? Theorizes about the possibility of ancient terrestrial civilizations being the result of the crossing of alien extraterrestrials - who would have moved here - and primate species creating the human species .And, most importantly: it presents visual and graphic evidence of its thesis, citing, for example, inscriptions present in Egyptian and Mayan pyramids; the Nazca lines, in Peru, among countless others. Although Governments and their Armed Forces have denied for years that they have evidence of the presence on Earth of supposed extraterrestrial ships, the behavior has been changing in recent times. The most recent case was that NASA - American Space Agency itself assumed that recently during maintenance operation of the ISS Station, an extraterrestrial spacecraft was spotted by its lens. For enthusiasts, we suggest the following link, sent to us by our friend Fabio Marabello : http://datalimite.com/nasa-pare-estar-preparando-astronautas-para-se-comunicar-com-alienigenas/

 QUANDO AS BOAS AÇÕES PODEM NEUTRALIZAR OS EFEITOS DOS ATOS MAUS. Sobre este tema recebemos mais uma pergunta do Cristiano, da cidade de Vera Cruz, que começa seu questionamento com uma citação que encontramos na obra AÇÃO E REAÇÃO, de André Luiz, capítulo 18, onde o autor afirma o seguinte:

 “Bem sabemos que, se uma onda sonora encontra outra, de tal modo que as cristas de uma encontram no mesmo ponto dos vales da outra, esse meio em consequência aí não vibra, tendo-se como resultado o silêncio. Assim é que, gerando novas causas com o bem praticado hoje, podemos interferir nas causas do mal praticado ontem, neutralizando-as e reconquistando com isso o nosso equilíbrio”.

   A pergunta do Cristiano é a seguinte: “ Esse entendimento pode-se aplicar no caso daqueles que cometeram genocídio?

   Primeiramente, queremos agradecer o Cristiano e cumprimenta-lo pela excelência de suas perguntas, mostrando que é um estudioso da doutrina e colaborar de nosso programa. E também lembrá-lo que nas citações de textos dos livros basta indicar apenas o título, o autor e o capítulo onde o texto está inserido. Quanto à página, há variações de uma edição para outra. As últimas edições das obras de André Luiz, produzidas pela Federação Espírita Brasileira, estão totalmente remodeladas do ponto de vista gráfico, com nova formatação, novo tamanho de letras, e uma paginação bem diferente das edições anteriores.

  Para melhor situar os demais ouvintes devemos dizer que este capítulo do livro AÇÃO E REAÇÃO, intitulado “Resgastes Coletivos”,  trata  das providências tomadas por Espíritos socorristas da Mansão Paz, que é um serviço ligado à colônia espiritual Nosso Lar. Na ocasião, a equipe atendia ás vítimas de um acidente aéreo em que desencarnaram 14 pessoas. Druso, o responsável pela Mansão, aproveitou para falar sobre esse tema “resgastes coletivos”, que envolve Espíritos ligados entre si por graves erros que cometeram no passado. Os Espíritos André Luiz e Hilário, que estavam ali para ajudar e aprender, tiveram oportunidade de ouvir Druso as explicações de Druso sobre essa questão.

 Não é fácil para os Espíritos explicar de modo claro e compreensível os mecanismos pelos quais se cumpre a chamada Justiça Divina, entendendo primeiramente que não é Deus que julga nossos atos, mas a nossa própria consciência. Vejam a majestade da Justiça Divina: o julgamento não vem de fora, vem de dentro de nós. E isso se dá segundo leis naturais, razão pela qual, neste e em muitos outros casos para explicá-la, os Espíritos recorrem a comparações com fenômenos que a ciência já decodificou.  Para que suas explicações se tornassem claras, Jesus usava as parábolas, enquanto os Espíritos usam de figuras mais próximas de nossa realidade material.

 Para entendermos essa questão de como o Espírito pode se reequilibrar moralmente durante sua jornada evolutiva, Druso compara nossas ações às ondas sonoras, que são as ondas do som transmitidas através do ar. As ondas sonoras, por sua vez, podem ser comparadas às ondas que se formam na superfície de um pequeno lago, por exemplo.  A onda é sempre resultado de uma agitação. Joga-se uma pedra na água e as ondas se espalham. O ponto mais alto de uma onda é chamado de crista, o mais baixo de vale. Se a gente criar duas ondas, uma de um lado e outra do lado oposto do lago, vamos perceber que cada onda vai se propagar em direção à outra; e quando elas se encontrarem, uma vai anular a outra no momento em que  uma crista de uma onda se encontrar com um  vale. Trata-se de um fenômeno físico, perfeitamente visível..

 Druso usa desse mecanismo natural de propagação de ondas contrárias para que possamos fazer uma ideia de como, num momento e numa circunstância específica, uma má ação pode ser anulada por uma boa ação, até porque nossos atos refletem nossa vontade e nossos sentimentos. No fundo, o que vale não é propriamente o ato em si – que pode ser bom ou mau, poder premeditado ou involuntário. O que vale mesmo é o sentimento que exteriorizamos em forma de ondas mentais no momento em que o praticamos. Assim, Espíritos que, no passado, estiveram comprometidos com o mal, retornam tempos depois completamente arrependidos, e prontos a reparar os danos que causaram. Geralmente são esses as vítimas das expiações coletivas. Para Druso são as ondas contrárias que conseguem, através de suas cristas ( ou novos sentimentos) anular a culpa que jazia nos vales das ondas que propagavam o mal. 

 O Cristiano pergunta, finalmente, se se pode aplicar esse mesmo entendimento para as pessoas que cometem ou participam de mortes coletivas, como é do genocídio – que é um crime cometido contra grupos étnicos ou religiosos e contra povos, como foi o caso do genocídio contra o povo judeu, que aconteceu durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. O que ele quer saber – assim entendemos – é se os genocidas ou os criminosos que participam ou participaram de exterminações de coletividades podem retornar, tempos depois, arrependidos para se deixarem morrer em desastres ou calamidades, que resultam em grandes sofrimentos.  

 Dentro dessa linha de pensamento espírita, é claro que sim, Cristiano. Muitas mortes coletivas, que provocam grandes comoções na humanidade, pela forma desastrosa e muitas vezes cruéis pelas quais as pessoas perdem suas vidas ou ficam permanentemente por elas marcadas, devem decorrer do impacto de crueldades ou de irresponsabilidades solidárias do passado. No entanto, é bom ficar claro, que não é este o único caminho pelo qual o Espírito pode se redimir de sua culpa. A Doutrina Espírita deixa claro que muitas são as alternativas pelas quais o Espírito, ao longo de sua jornada, pode se recuperar dos males que praticou, e essa recuperação com certeza seria mais rápida e menos sofrida se, ao invés de ele se submeter sua vida ao sacrifício, pudesse se aliar a todos aqueles que trabalham, que se esforcem e que sacrificam pelo bem da  humanidade.
