SPIRITISM -A tool to assist mankind in understanding Universal Truths and Reality
“Spiritism is not the work of any man; no one can claim to have created it, for it is as old as creation
itself. It is to be found everywhere, in all religions.....”
“What is the special and peculiar work of modern Spiritism? To make a coherent whole of what has
hitherto been scattered; to explain, in clear and precise terms, what has been wrapped up in the language of
allegory; to eliminate the products of superstition and ignorance from human belief, leaving only what is real
and actual: this is its mission, but it has no founder. It renders evident that which already exists; it coordinates,
but it creates nothing, for its elements are of all countries and of every age.”
“Spiritism presents three different aspects, 1) the facts of spirit manifestation, 2) the philosophical and
moral principles deducible from those facts, and 3) the practical applications of those principles...”
(The above quotes are very important points to ponder. They were taken from The Spirits Book by A. Kardec.)
COMMENTARY: Mankind’s search for Truth, in regards to the purpose of Life and what constitutes True
Reality, has been going on since the dawn of man on this planet. Humanity has tried to comprehend the Forces
and Laws of Nature according to its own level of intellectual and moral advancement and... in each age in time,
things become clearer, as it is able to comprehend the Light of Truth without being blinded. We are only at the
level of an awareness of Spiritual Truths. Many now study psychic phenomena with more of an open mind. I
believe that what is encompassed in what we call “Spiritism”(or what may be called Spiritual Science), and the
principles that it sets forth, comes closer than any other set of principles or beliefs or morals, currently available
to mankind, in allowing it to truly comprehend the Truths it so urgently seeks. Written by Yvonne Limoges
ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK AT CONFLICTS
Who among us has not had someone bring us down, or make us sad? But, our antagonist can work for
us; showing us our weaknesses, revealing our wrong doings, and providing us an opportunity to change. We all
have problems that seem to have no end, but the end can be a beginning... We should change the way we look at
our troubles. Sometimes, we find the answers late because we did not pay attention, or, we just refused to accept
the obvious. Stop, think, and change. But, do not forget to pass on what you have learned to help your brothers
and sisters. We are all children of the same Father and we are here to help each other... to be one day all united
with Him.

ATTENDEES AT SPIRITIST CENTERS
Spiritists, do you solely attend a Spiritist Center to await for a personal spirit message? This should not
be your entire reason for attendance. You each have responsibilities, too. These are: to learn, study, and
contemplate on your own... the Spiritist beliefs; to try and put into practice, as best you can, regarding these
teachings; and, to share what you learn with others.
Taking these actions allows each of you to help raise the level of your spiritual and moral natures, which
in turn, provides your Spiritist Center with a more spiritually harmonious ambient, for higher, morally superior
spirit communications. You are an integral part of the process, in a group sincerely sitting together, to bring
forth spirit communications. You are not mere spectators! Each one of you, and the ambient surrounding you, is
just as important in influencing the spiritual work of a Spiritist Center, as the work of the director and the
mediums.

THE GRANDEUR OF CREATION
My children, contemplate on the Goodness and Beauty surrounding your lives! Behold the beauties of
Nature: the diversity of the animals; the loveliness of the flowers; the large sky above you, with its colorful
sunsets, sunrises, and stunning rainbows. They are provided to inspire you! Your telescopes have penetrated the
depths of space, and brought pictures to you of some of the marvels which exist in the universe. These powerful
and spectacular images of stars and nebulas should declare to you there exists a Sublime and Omnipotent
Creator! Pondering upon all these astounding marvels, your earthly problems will feel diminished, overcome by
the Infinite Immensity of Creation. You will become inspired and spiritually refreshed, understanding the
sublime, by an insight your soul will feel! This will allow you to carry on your lives easier, with a different
perspective, and with a firm knowledge of the Beneficence of the Supreme Creator.

WE ARE ALL DEPENDENT ON EACH OTHER
Everyone on your planet is dependent on the other. If you have not realized this fact, you should. If you
went out into space and looked down upon the earth you would have a different perspective. Each planet has its
own material and spiritual atmosphere and on yours, both are engulfed in a cloud of pollution. Until your
inhabitants change, this will not change. If tomorrow the air was withheld, you all would die. If the soil could
not produce food, you all would die. If all the waters became poisonous, everything and everyone would cease
to exist.
Everything on your planet is dependent on everything else. It is the natural order of things. Man has
taken it upon himself, by his freewill, to interfere with that order and so suffers the consequences of his actions.
All must try and live within the natural order of the universe, by trying to live more morally and spiritually.
Though you may think that what you do, does not have an effect on the other side of your world, you must open
your eyes to see the true fact of reality, that it indeed does.
