Worlds of Tests & Atonements JOANA DARC, 07 06 2016

WORLDS OF TESTS AND ATONEMENTS

13. What more is there to say about worlds of atonements that you don't already know, since you have only
to look at the one in which you live? The great number of superior intelligences amongst your inhabitants
indicates that the Earth is not a primitive world, destined to receive beings who have recently left the hand of the
Creator. The innate qualities which they bring with them constitute a proof of their having already lived and
achieved a certain degree of progress. But the number of vices to which they are subject also shows their great
moral imperfections. This is why God has placed them in an ungrateful world, in which they can make
atonement through heavy work and the suffering of the miseries of life, until they deserve to ascend to happier
planets.
14. Nevertheless, not all the Spirits who have incarnated on Earth came to atone. The races which are
called savage were formed from Spirits who had only just left their infancy, and who found themselves, as it
were, on an educational course for development through contact with more advanced Spirits. Later came the
semi-civilized races, made up of the same Spirits as they travelled along their paths to progress. In general,
these are the indigenous races on Earth, who will raise themselves little by little through the centuries, some of
whom have already managed to reach an intelligent state equal to the more enlightened.
The Spirits who are in atonement are, if we may use the term, the exotic ones of the Earth; they have
already lived on other worlds where they were excluded for persisting in wickedness, or for having been the
cause of perturbation to the good people in those worlds. They therefore had to be exiled for a time to an
ambient of more backward Spirits, so receiving the mission of helping them to advance as they bring with them
more developed intelligences and the germ of the knowledge they have acquired. This then is how Spirits under
punishment are found amongst the most intelligent races, and why the misfortunes of life seem so very bitter for
them. This is because they have a higher degree of sensitivity and so are more highly tested by contrarieties
and sorrows than the primitive races whose moral sense is still obtuse.
15. Consequently, the Earth offers an example of a world of atonement and although the variety is infinite,
they all have one thing in common: they all serve as places of exile for those Spirits who rebel against the Law
of God. This means that these Spirits have at one and the same time to fight against the perversity of man and
the inclemency of nature, which is doubly arduous, but which will develop the qualities of heart and intelligence
simultaneously. God then, in all His goodness, allows punishment to become something which will benefit the
spirit. - SAINT AUGUSTIN (Paris, 1862)

**********************************************
CONSIDERATIONS:
Well, if we're in this world that is not a Heaven nor a Hell, something is and so we have a lot to thank the
spirits of good and good will that have come to explain that we are in a world of Tests and Atonement ' and hence
explaining why we are in this world, and not in another that be parasitic, the religious men came to conclude that
when we die we go to a Heaven or purgatory or hell but not that I know of have they qualified the moral degree of
the earth, Kardec went on to say that if there is a Purgatory that should be on Earth because here one atones for
and one purges oneself, (also in the spirits Book, Q. 1013).
The idea of purgatory was admitted by the Catholic Church in the year 503, (Heaven and Hell V: 8 and 9) the
people used to say, ' here one does and here one pays '. the experience of ones live however is right since there
is the law of "cause and effect", which balances our acts and rectifies our exaggerations in favor of our happiness.
Now with the coming of the Comforter Truth Spirit the truths which were revealed do clarify our terms
before God and before the worlds in which Jesus revealed that at his father's House there are many mansions ',
The revelation which the Spirits have brought us is that this Earth is in conjunction with the spiritual world the
two mingle and interpenetrate gathering themselves together, were it not what many thought that when they die
they would automatically go into other afar worlds, but that's not so, this world is composed with the spirits, which
reside here, the spirits although they may lose the material fleshly body they continue to inhabit this world in a
fluidic quintessence way another dimension which while invisible to our eyes, it does not stop being a spirit in his
fluidic body which Spiritism calls him 'Perspirit', surprisingly they cohabit amongst us and they are God's servants
corresponding with our lives as much as they can: being they mentors, Angels, in solidarity with fraternity, with

affinity, with sympathy, helping us many times without us noticing it, it is because our God Father allows it to be
so, but as much as in the material world spirits, that is to say, men who are of a wide variety of degrees, from
higher or less morals, as the worthy morals, of good, of kindness, in the spirits world also there they exist,
because the afterlife is a continuation of the present life of the spirit and continue to be with little differentiating
what they were in material life Although they continue to make progress, but it is gradually and not suddenly, the
disincarnating, always carries odds in itself, moral imperfections: the heeding of prejudices or beliefs systems
which they had lived in the materially Earth, because only by dyeing the soul does not become sanctified, hence
the Apostle to say to be careful: 'believe not in all the spirits'. (I John 4:4).
And why he mentioned it, it is because he knew that the beyond influences much our lives and our ideals,
our thoughts, our morals, because 'we influence and are influenced, by affinities and sympathies and as spirits
being embodied or disembodied can communicate through thoughts to each other because we're all mediums,
(The Mediums book. XIV: 159) from the smallest degree to the so-called mediums for having the most based sensitivity.
Jesus knew this and in our Lords Prayer: Our father 'He has joined the teaching: 'lead us not into temptation', it's
because Jesus knew the spiritual influence that there is, both for good and for evil. Also by the influence of the
incarnated that still bear malice or evil, because many are still undisciplined, demoralized abusing their ' free will ',
until they wake up to God and responsibility. Since the 'free will' brings responsibility, because the sowing is free,
but the harvest is required.
The religion for their own reasons understand that he who has mediumship is demonized, but admits that the
Saints may be called upon to help us, that's why in their experience they know that God allows it. God doesn't
always act personally. And as there are communication between all spirits, those who are more advanced in
intelligence or morality, they can help if they want to do so or feel to be the will of God their acting and are happy
to help beneficiary, then in that same way being in the material world someone who is more advanced than the
one who is in the beyond the spirit of the material world can help the one in the beyond one beneficiary,
Hence the permission that one can pray for the ones who went to the beyond influencing them faith in God
and in happiness, because love is inter-communicable there's no borders that may separate the love between
each other, or a world from the other, because God is love and he's in the entire Universe and in the innermost of
all things or the whole universe contains Him and even for: in Him we live, and have our being.
Thence one explains that the Spiritist Center, mediums of goodness, enlighten and moralize very often evil
spirits that harm people who come to the Spiritual Center to ask help, it's not that the spiritist doctrine is a doctrine
of talking to the dead, but a spiritual doctrine in which it considers that the two worlds seen as spiritual are made
into one, hence the moral duty to help each other , with reasoned faith, one can accept such beliefs, but it is
impossible to be accepted or understood, If there are prejudices rooted deeply which blinds any explanation or
teaching, but one knows that the truth cannot be hidden, the truth always comes to the flow. And Jesus said: 'you
shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free'.
The spiritist doctrine studies the soul, and in its course of sojourning comes to God, and know that it is God
who Creates the soul, and in its course comes to the beyond in which science admits and supports, but where
science cannot go any further, the Spiritist doctrine or Spiritism proceeds or continues, hence we're just slowly
understanding the depths of the soul, and of our Creator God, 'The cause primary of all effects. And the
greatness of the Universe, 'House. of our Father Which also is ours according to our merits..
*****************************************
LET US NOTICE THREE CONDITIONS OF THE SPIRIT AFTER DESINCARNATING IN THE SPIRITS
BOOK
QUESTIONS: 1012 TO 1014:
Paradise, Hell and Purgatory.
1012. Are there, in the universe, any circumscribed places set apart for the joys and sorrows
of spirits, according to their merits? "We have already answered this question. The joys and sorrows of spirits are
inherent in the degree of perfection at which they have arrived. Each spirit finds in himself the principle of his
happiness or unhappiness; and, as spirits are everywhere, no enclosed or circumscribed place is set apart for
either the One or the other. As for incarnated spirits, they are more or less happy or unhappy, according as the
world they inhabit is more or less advanced.""Heaven" and "hell," then, as men have imagined them, have no existence? "They are only symbols; there
are happy and unhappy spirits everywhere. Nevertheless, as we have also told you, spirits of the same order are
brought together by sympathy; but, when they are perfect, they can meet together wherever they will,"
The localization of rewards and punishments in fixed places exists only in man's imagination; it proceeds
from his' tendency to materialize and to circumscribe the things of which he cannot comprehend the
essential infinitude.

1013. What is to be understood by Purgatory?

"Physical and moral suffering; the period of expiation, It is almost always upon the earth that you are made
by God to undergo your purgatory, and to expiate your wrong-doing."

What men call purgatory is also a figure of speech, that should be understood as signifying, not any
determinate place, but the state of imperfect spirits who have to expiate their faults until they have attained the
complete purification that will raise them to the state of perfect blessedness. As this purification is effected by
means of various incarnations, purgatory consists in the trials of corporeal life..
1014. How is it that spirits who, by their language, would seem to be of high degree, have replied according
to the commonly-received ideas to those who have questioned them in the most serious spirit concerning hell and
purgatory? "They speak according to the comprehension of those who question them, when the latter are too fully
imbued with preconceived ideas, in order to avoid any abrupt interference with their convictions. If a spirit should
tell a Mussulman, without proper precautions, that Mahomet was not a true prophet, he would not he listened
towith much cordiality." - Such precautions are conceivable on the' part of spirits who wish to instruct us; but how
is it that others, when questioned as to their situation, have replied that they were suffering the torture's of hell or
of purgatory?
"Spirits of inferior advancement, who are not yet completely dematerialized, retain a portion of their earthly
ideas, and describe their impressions by means of terms that are familiar to them. They are in a state that allows
of their obtaining only a very imperfect foresight of the future; for which reason it often happens that spirits in
erraticity, or but recently freed from their earthly body, speak just as they would have done during their earthly life.
Hell may be understood as meaning a life of extremely painful trial, with uncertainty as to the future attainment of
any better state; and purgatory as a life that is also one of trial, but with the certainty of a happier future. Do you
not say, when undergoing any very intense physical or mental distress, that you are suffering 'the tortures of the
damned' ? But such an expression is only a figure of speech, and is always employed as such."
******************************************
FOR OUR OWN KNOWLEDGE OF OUR EVOLUTION AND PROGRESS ABOUT THE EARTH AND KNOWING
HOW MUCH WE ADVANCED IN KNOWLEDGE LET US SEE THE GENESIS CHPTER V; 1 to 14:
SYSTEMS OF THE ANCIENT AND MODERN WORLD
1. The first idea that man forms of the Earth, of the movements of the stars, and of the constitution of the
universe, must be, in the commencement of his observations, entirely based upon the testimony of the senses. In
his ignorance of the most elementary laws of physics, and of the forces of nature, having only his limited sight as
a means of observation, he was able to judge only by appearances.
As he beheld the sun appear in the morning outside of the horizon and disappear in the evening on the other
side, he naturally concluded that it revolved around the Earth, whilst the latter remained stationary. If it had been
suggested to him that the contrary was the truth, he would have replied that that was impossible; for would he not
have declared that we see the sun change its position, and we do not feel the Earth move?

2. The few facts known then by voyagers, whose journeys rarely exceeded the limits of their tribe or of the
valley in which they dwelt, would not permit of their establishing a spherical Earth. In what way could they arrive
at the conclusion that the Earth is a ball? Men would not have been able to support this assertion; and, in
supposing it inhabited on its entire surface, how would they have supposed it possible to live in opposite
hemispheres, the head down and feet up? The fact would have appeared less possible when the rotational
movement of the globe should have been explained. When one sees in our day, when the law of gravitation is
known, people relatively enlightened, unable to give an account of this phenomenon, is it astonishing that men in
the early ages had not even suspected it?
The Earth to them was a flat surface, circular as a millstone, extending out of sight in the far horizon, hence
arose the saying yet in use: Going to the end of the world. Its limits, its thickness, its interior, its inferior surface
that which was beneath them, was unknown to them.16
3. The heavens, appearing to be concave in form constituted, according to common belief, a real vault, the
lower borders of which rested on the Earth and marked the end of it, a vast dome, the space of which was
filled with air. With no idea of the infinity of space, incapable even of conceiving it, men imagined this vault formed
of solid matter; whence the name of firmament which has survived such a belief, and which signifies firm,
enduring (from the Latin firma mentum, derived from firmus, firm, and from the Greek herma, hermatos, a prop,
or supporter, or fulcrum).
16 Hindu mythology taught that the sun was divested in the evening of its light, and traversed the sky during the night with an obscured
face. Greek mythology represented the car of Apollo as drawn by four horses. Anaximander of Miletus maintained in concord with Plutarch,
that the sun was a chariot tilled with a very brilliant fire, which escaped through a circular opening. Epicurus gave as his opinion that the sun
was lighted in the morning, and extinguished at night in the waters of the ocean. Others thought that it was made of pumice-stone heated to a
state of incandescence. Anaxagoras regarded it as a heated iron of the magnitude of the Peloponnesus. Strange to relate, the ancients were
so invincibly determined to consider the apparent size of this body as real, that they persecuted this rash philosopher for having attributed
such magnitude to the torch of day, that Pericles was obliged to exercise all the power of his authority to save him from condemnation to
death, and commute the latter to a sentence of exile.

(Flammarion: Studies and Lectures upon Astronomy, p. 6.) If they held such ideas in the fifth century, before the Christian Era, in the
most flourishing times of Greece, we cannot be astonished at those entertained by men in earlier times on the system of the universe.

4. The stars, of the nature of which they had no suspicions, were to them simply luminous points, small and
large, attached to the vault like suspended lamps, disposed on one surface only, consequently all at the same
distance from the Earth, in the manner in which they are represented in the interior of certain cupolas, which are
painted blue in imitation of the azure hue of the sky.
Although today ideas are changed, the usage of the ancient expressions is retained. We say yet, for
example, the starry vault; under heavens arch.
5. The formation of clouds by the evaporation of the waters of the Earth was then equally unknown. They did
not suspect that the rain which falls from the sky arose in vapor from the Earth; for they did not see the water
arise. Whence the belief in large and small bodies of water from celestial and terrestrial sources, from reservoirs
situated in lofty regions, a supposition which accorded perfectly with the idea of a solid vault capable of
maintaining them. The larger bodies of water, escaping through fissures in the sky, fell in rain; and the rain fell
gently or came in torrents, according to the size of these openings
6. The complete ignorance of the whole universe, and of the laws which rule it, of the nature, constitution,
and destination of the stars, which seemed, besides, so small compared with the Earth, would necessarily make
the latter to be considered as the principal object in creation, and the stars as accessories created solely to give
light to its inhabitants. These prejudices are cherished by some to this day, despite the discoveries of science,
which have altered the aspects of the world for mankind. Many people believe still that the stars are ornaments of
the sky, placed there to please the eye of man.
7. They delayed not to perceive the apparent movement of the stars in a body from east to west, rising in the
evening, and going down in the morning, preserving their respective positions. This observation had for a long
time no other result than that of confirming the idea of a solid vault carrying the stars along in its rotary movement.
These first simple ideas have made, during long secular periods, the foundation of religious beliefs, and
have served as a base for all ancient cosmogonies.

8. Later they discovered, by the direction of the movement of the stars, and their periodical return in the
same order, that the celestial vault could not be simply a hemisphere resting upon the Earth, but a hollow sphere,
in the center of which was the Earth, flat at the utmost convex, and inhabited only upon its upper surface. This
was a progressive idea.
But upon what rested the Earth? It would be useless to relate all the ridiculous suppositions born of the
imagination. That of the Indians, who declared it was supported by four white elephants, the latter standing on the
wings of a vulture; is sufficient for an example. Wise people avowed that they knew nothing about it.
9. However, a general opinion, extending into pagan theogonies, appointed the lower place, otherwise called
the depths of the Earth, or under it they knew not much about it for the sojourn of the reprobates, and called
it hell; and in celestial heights, beyond the region of the stars, they fixed the home of the blessed. The word hell
is now used, although it should have lost its etymological signification, since geology has dislodged the place of
eternal sorrow from the center of the Earth, and astronomy demonstrated that there are neither upper nor lower
directions in space.
10. Under the clear sky of Chaldea, India, and Egypt, cradle of the most antique civilization, one could
observe the movement of the stars with as much precision as the absence of special instruments permitted. They
saw at first that certain stars had a movement of their own independent of the rest, which caused them to no
longer believe that they were attached to the vault. They called them wandering stars or planets, in order to
distinguish them from fixed stars. They calculated their movements and periodical returns.
In the diurnal movement of the starry spheres they observed the immovableness of the polar star, around
which others described, in twenty-four hours, oblique or parallel circles, smaller or greater, according to their
distance from the central star. This was the first step towards the knowledge of the obliquity of the worlds axis.
Moreover, long voyages enabled them to observe the change of aspect in the sky according to latitudes and
seasons. The elevation of the polar star above the horizon varying with the latitude, suggested the idea of the
roundness of the Earth. Thus little by little they arrived at more accurate ideas of the system of the world.
Towards the year 600 B.C., Thales of Miletus, Asia Minor, became convinced of the sphericity of the Earth,
the obliquity of the ecliptic, and the cause of the eclipses. A century later Pythagoras of Samos discovered the
diurnal movement of the Earth upon its axis, its annual movement around the sun, and connected the planets and
comets to the solar system.

One hundred and sixty years B.C., Hipparchus of Alexandria, Egypt, invented the astrolabe, calculated and
predicted the eclipses, observed the spots on the sun, ascertained the tropical year and the duration of the
revolutions of the moon.
However precious these discoveries were for the progress of science, they were nearly two thousand years
in becoming popularized. These new ideas, having then as a means of diffusion only a few rare manuscripts,
which remained in the possession of some philosophers who taught them to privileged disciples, the masses of
the people, whom they dreamed not of enlightening, profited nothing by them, but continued to cherish old beliefs.
11. Towards the year 140 of the Christian Era, Ptolemy, one of the most illustrious men of the Alexandrian
school, combining his own ideas with common beliefs, and a few of the more recent astronomical discoveries,
composed a system, which one can call a compound of beliefs, which took his name, and during a period of
nearly fifteen centuries was solely adopted in the civilized world.
According to the theory of Ptolemy, the Earth is a sphere in the center of the universe, and is composed of
four elements, earth, water, air, and fire. This is the first region, called elementary. The second, called the
ethereal, comprised eleven heavens, or concentric spheres, turning around the Earth; viz., that of the moon,
those of Mercury, Venus, of the sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, of the fixed stars, of the first crystalline heaven (a solid
transparent sphere), of the second crystalline sphere, and at last of the outer circle, of primitive mobility, which, by
its motion, was supposed to carry around all those within it, causing them to make a revolution every twenty-four
hours. Beyond these eleven spheres was the Empyrean, or highest sphere, abode of the blessed, thus named
from the Greek pyr or pur, which signifies fire, because they believed this region to be resplendent with light like
fire.
The belief in many superposed heavens or spheres has prevailed for a long time; but they varied in regards
to number. The seventh was generally regarded as the highest, whence the expression, to be carried to the
seventh heaven. St. Paul said that he had been elevated to the third heaven.
Independent of the general motion, the stars had, according to Ptolemy, some particular movements of their
own, greater or less according to their distance from the center. The fixed stars made a revolution in 25,816
years. This last computation denotes knowledge of the precession of the equinoxes, which is actually
accomplished in about 25,868 years.

12. At the commencement of the sixteenth century, Copernicus, a celebrated astronomer, born at Thorn,
Prussia, in 1472, and who died in 1543, reproduced the ideas of Pythagoras. He published a system which,
confirmed each day by new observations, was favorably received, and was not long in proving that of Ptolemy to
be unreliable. According to this system, the sun is the center; the planets describe circular orbs around this body
of light; the moon is a satellite of the Earth.
A century later, in 1609, Galileo, born at Florence, invented the telescope.17 In 1610 he discovered the four
satellites of Jupiter, and calculated their revolutions. He recognized that the planets have no light like the stars,
but that they receive light from the sun; that they are spheres similar to the Earth. He observed their phases, and
determined the duration of their rotation upon their axes. He thus gave, by material proofs, a definite sanction to
the system of Copernicus.
From this period the belief in superposed heavens was extinguished. The stars are innumerable suns,
probable centers of as many planetary systems. The planets were recognized as worlds similar to the Earth, and
like it, without doubt, inhabited. The sun was believed to be a star, and the center around which the planets, which
are subject to it, revolve.
The stars are no more confined to a zone of the celestial sphere, but are irregularly disseminated in limitless
space. Those which appear to touch each other are immeasurable distances apart. The smallest, in appearance,
are the farthest from us; the largest, those which are nearest, are hundreds of thousands millions of miles distant
from us.
The groups which have gained the name of constellations are only apparent assemblages caused by
distance, perspective effects, such as appear to the view of him who is placed at a fixed point from lights
dispersed over a vast plain, or the trees of a forest. But these assemblages do not in reality exist. If one could be
transported into the region of one of these constellations by measure, as one would approach, the form would
disappear, and new groups would design themselves to the sight.
Since these groups do not really exist, the signification that a common superstitious belief attributes to them
is illusory, as they have only as groups an imaginary existence.
In order to distinguish the constellations, names have been given to them, such as these of: Lion, Bull,
Twins, Virgin, Balance, Goat, Crab, Orion, Hercules, Great Bear or Chariot of David, Little Bear, Lyre, etc.; and
they have been represented by figures corresponding to these names, but which in every case have but fanciful
connection with the apparent forms of the starry groups. We should then seek in vain for these figures in the sky.

The belief in the influence of the constellations, particularly those which constitute the twelve signs of the
Zodiac, comes from the idea attached to the names they bear. If that which is called Lion had been named
Donkey or Lamb, people would have attributed to it a totally different influence.
17 Note of SAB: Dutch spectacle-maker Hans Lippershey is credited with inventing the first telescope in the year 1608, when he
discovered that a distant object appeared to be much closer when viewed through a concave lens and a convex lens held in front of each
other. He mounted the lenses in a tube to make the first crude refracting telescope.
Science historians credit Italian scientist Galileo with the first use of the telescope for scientific observations of astronomical objects. In
1609, using a homemade telescope that could magnify objects to 20 times the size seen by the naked eye, Galileo discovered four moons
orbiting the planet Jupiter. By the end of the following year, he had used his telescope to resolve the Milky Way Galaxy into countless stars,
see dark spots on the Sun, and map the face of the Moon. The rapid rate of these discoveries and the extraordinary new insights they offered
are unique in the history of astronomy. Soon after, telescopes started getting longer, because the ways to improve the focusing abilities of
telescopes were either to lengthen the telescopes or to use mirrors -- and a "reflecting telescope" using mirrors wasn't invented until Newton
did so in the 1670s. Source: http://encarta.msn.com Systems of the Ancient and Modern World.
13. Galileo and Copernicus destroyed the old cosmogonies. Astronomical knowledge advanced: it could not
retrograde. History records the difficulties these men of genius had to encounter through prejudice, especially
through the sectarian spirit of the times, which was interested in the maintenance of errors upon which the
priesthood had founded beliefs considered unchangeable. The invention of an optical instrument has been the
means of destroying the trelliswork of the beliefs of many thousands of years. Nothing could prevail against a
truth which could be demonstrated to mans vision. Thanks to the art of printing, the public gained a knowledge of
the new ideas; and while some recognize their truth, and took part in the struggle for truth, it soon became
necessary to combat, not simply a few individuals, but general opinion, which would take its part in the contest for
truth.
How grand the universe is compared with the narrow proportions our forefathers assigned to it! How sublime
Gods work when we see its accomplishment according to the laws of nature! But only with the aid of time, and
the affords and devotion of men of genius, were the sealed eyes opened, and the bandage of ignorance removed.
14. Henceforth the way will be open for numerous and illustrious wise men to enter upon the completion of
the outlined work. Kepler, in Germany, discovered the celebrated laws which bear his name, and by the aid of
which he discovered that planets describe not circular orbs but ellipses, of which the sun occupies one of the
focuses. Newton, in England, discovered the law of universal gravitation. Laplace, in France, created celestial
mechanics. In short, astronomy is no more a system founded upon conjecture and probability, but a science
established upon the most rigorous bases of arithmetic and geometry. Thus one of the cornerstones of Genesis is
laid, approximately 3,300 years after Moses.

********************************************
CONCLUSION:
The man progresses in sequence one after the other, nothing is lost the work done by some others normally
give the sequel, improvisation, continuity. In the moral law Jesus continued the work of Moses, the spirit of truth
continued and continues his work on mediumship of men.
It is understood that Galileo in inventing an optical instrument opened a new worldview, Kardec in the tables
moving arrived at conceptions of the Spiritual world and its discovery. NASA with images of the Hubble and other
support institutions opened the Universe for everyone to observe, giving continuation to the progress of
knowledge of the universe or Cosmos, which opens up before our eyes and dazzles us,
Hence we are privileged to this knowledge and revelation that Jesus could not show, but only advance the
existence of the House of his father and our Father to have many mansions, which for many centuries was not
understood, let us be as thankful for knowledge of God and revelations with acknowledgement..
From all material and spiritual knowledge, we already know who we are: the whys of life, where we're going,
and we know our future in our eternal progress, understanding what Jesus meant when he said:: 'to each one
according to his works' thence forth we should want that our works be good and fine for us and for our neighbor
knowing that it is: 'giving that one receives and the good done to our neighbor reverts to our advantage be it the
present or the future life, because indeed we shall actually inherit from ourselves given that we will return to
embody 'as many times as necessary', until we deserve to get out of the perils of this world, ascentment in the
step of our faith, our efforts, and our light of understanding.
Coming out of this world of: 'Tests and Atonement' for a better world, after we pay every last farthing of debts:
the ones to the neighbor, the laws of merit, of reincarnation, of evolution, of progress, of morale, because from
'simple and ignorant', in our March we are coming to the 'use of reason and understanding of the world and of
ourselves as well as the existence of God but not like a blind faith, but rather with 'a reasoning faith..
So we know in whom we trust and know that He (GOD) loves us and will lead us to eternal happiness
because Jesus told us that God is our Father on mentioning ' I go to my father and your father ', very unlike what

many said God to be, an awful God, dreaded hard to love, but that was the old conception until Jesus came to tell
and teach who God was in truth and in verity.
That's why we're also grateful to Jesus and are Christians, because being a Christian or a Spiritist is the
same thing as the spiritist moral is the one of Jesus, with Jesus we learn and edify our beings and seek to follow
Jesus in our spiritual sojourning.
The spiritist is not contrary to any religion or creed because one knows that Jesus said: ' I have other sheep
which are not of this fold', Jesus has also said: 'he who is not against me is for me', and the spiritist Doctrine
teaches that the man in his journey be it long or short will arrive one day to God, because it is the will of God that
everyone reaches up to Himself..
Jesus explained that: the Father waits watchfully for the prodigal son in order to welcome and embrace him.
And the spiritist doctrine teaches that God is infinitely Good and Just, and God has organized His laws on
our behalf, for example, the one of 'causes and effect ', which influences us to rescue our mistakes and balance
our conscience before God and our neighbor, which reverts to our own advantage.
May God be with us, as formerly, today and always?
