O Consolador:
As the assistant
president at the
Spiritist
Federation of
the State of
Goiás, which
experiences
would you
consider as the
most important
ones in terms of
Spiritist
movement
statewide?
People of Goiás
are generous and
hospitable. Thus,
even with the
huge field of
actuation the
state offers us,
the workers of
the Spiritist
Federation of
the State of
Goiás are always
welcomed even by
brothers of
other religious
segments. This
characteristic
facilitates the
traffic of the
team of the
Spiritist
Federation of
the State of
Goiás all over
the place.
O Consolador:
Who is the
current
president at
FEEGO? And what
is the main
focus of his
tenure?
The current
president at the
Spiritist
Federation of
the State of
Goiás is Dr.
Weimar Muniz de
Oliveira,
retired judge,
who has been
conducting the
Spiritist
movement in
Goiás. The main
focus of his
tenure is
fraternity,
according to
Jesus: “love
each other, as I
loved you all”.
Such focus has
met the demand
of the National
Federative
Council as to
the creation of
an area of
fraternal work
in Spiritist
institutions in
order to help
more effectively
those who seek
help.
O Consolador:
In meetings with
Spiritist
directors, in
the movement of
unification,
what are the
main
difficulties
presented? And
what are the
most expressive
victories for
the state
movement?
The biggest
difficulty, as
it is in other
states, is the
qualification of
workers. The
improvisation
time has passed
already. Good
will is indeed
important, but
it is not enough.
It’s needed, in
the imminence of
the Era of the
Spirit on the
planet,
confreres who
have knowledge
of the Spiritist
Doctrine and
specifically the
area they
exercise.
O Consolador:
As a lecturer
and participant
of radio and TV
programs, which
experiences
would you like
to talk about?
The Spiritist
lecturer has
little living
with the
dynamics
required for
radio and TV
programs. In the
lecture,
generally, the
final argument
is presented
after an
exposition of 40
- 50 minutes. On
radio and TV we
have a few
seconds to give
our message.
This short space
of time must,
therefore, be
made the most of
with immediate
information,
direct,
positive, and
clear. Changing
the dynamics of
a lecturer to
participate on
radio and TV is
something we
need to exercise
in order to use
better this
powerful means
of communication
which reaches
thousand homes.
O Consolador:
What view of the
complex
challenges of
nowadays does
your
predilection for
the religious
part of
Spiritism bring?
Despite all
technological
advancement, the
man is still
astonished and
impotent to
existential
dilemmas. This
shows that
science and
philosophy are
not the
objective of the
Spiritist
Doctrine, but
means to
accomplish
better the
religiosity of
each one. Had
Science and
Philosophy been
the focus of the
Spiritist
Doctrine its
development
would have
happened in
France, not
Brazil, where
the religious
aspect is
dominant. Now,
it doesn’t mean
that we should
disregard the
scientific and
philosophical
aspect but use
it for our moral
enhancement. Let’s
remember Kardec,
on item 303 of
The Mediums’
Book, where he
says that the
objective of
Spiritism is the
moral
enhancement of
humanity. The
compiler calls
our attention to
the religious
aspect.
O Consolador:
What about your
experiences as
coordinator of
mediumistic
meetings and
ESDE?
Mediumistic
meeting is an
opportunity of
individual
enhancement as
it proves that
life goes on. It
is also an
opportunity to
strengthen the
ties of
friendship among
participants.
ESDE is the main
entrance door
for the learning
of the Spiritist.
It’s rewarding
to see people
getting to know
Spiritism
through ESDE and,
as time goes by,
becoming workers
with solid
doctrinal
knowledge. Check
this out: The
Spiritist Center
which has
implemented ESDE
properly has no
problems
whatsoever as to
well-prepared
workers. This is
it.
O Consolador:
Have you
published any
books?
I haven’t had
any books
published. My
professional
life has not let
me do it yet.
Maybe in the
future...
O Consolador:
How many
Spiritist
institutions are
there in Goiania?
And in the state
of Goiás?
Goiânia has
about 1 million
inhabitants and
more than 150
Spiritist
institutions. In
the state there
are about 4
million
inhabitants and
nearly 500
Spiritist
Centers. There
are some cities
with no
Spiritist
Centers though,
and they are our
concern at FEEGO.
O Consolador:
Has the
proximity with
the federal
capital been
positive for the
Spiritist
movement in the
state?
The Spiritist
movement here is
gifted for
having this
proximity.
Whenever we need
the Brazilian
Spiritist
Federation has
always helped
us.
O Consolador:
And spreading
Spiritism
through books,
in the state,
how has it been?
We have
excellent
publishers and
book retailers
in our state.
FEEGO owns one,
in order to
provide a good
Spiritist
reading, in
these times of
self-help books
that, most of
times, have no
good content.
Those who want
uplifting
reading count on
the orientation
given by
publishers and
Spiritist
retailers.
O Consolador:
What about radio
and TV?
On radio and TV
interviews we
take part we
always base
ourselves on the
Basic Works of
our Doctrine,
showing the
title of the
book and author
so that the
listener/watcher
can go deeper in
the subject. In
the program
Spiritist Space,
maintained by
the local
Spiritist
movement,
broadcast by TV
Cultura, we have
a section called
“Book Hint” in
which we talk
about the book
we based
ourselves on the
program.
