casual

What governs our
existences,
teaches the
Spiritism, is
not random, but
free will, an
achievement of
human being that
develops with
evolution of
soul. Free will
exercises,
however, in
different ways
when we are in
erraticity and
when we are in
physical life,
Kardec clarifies
that theme very
masterful in
item 872 d
'The Book of
Spirits.
Referring to the
issue, André
Luiz asked us to
avoid using the
words chance,
luck and bad
luck, because
such terms do
not have the
significance
that we
attribute to
them.
After a storm,
as the saying
goes, comes the
calm. André Luiz
disagree,
assert: "After a
storm, wait for
others”. In
contrast,
instead of
saying that
"there are evils
that come to
good", we can
say that "all
evil comes to
our good."

Joanna de
Angelis confirms
the theory
exposed by André
Luiz when
dealing with
unexpected
events.
"Unpredictable -
she says – is
divine presence
surprising
violation.
Unexpected is
the divine
interference
always vigilant.
Unexpected is
the divine
occurrence
working for
order. "(Alert,
ch. 3,
psychographic
work by Divaldo
P. Franco.)
The case of the
czar Alexander
-
Kardec, in the
Journal of
Spiritist 1866,
pp. 167 to
171 did
interesting
comments on the
attempted murder
of the Russian
czar Alexander.
At |
the time of the
attack, a young
farmer named
Joseph Kommissaroff
intervened
avoiding that
the crime was
consummated.
That is what
Kardec wrote
about it:
1) Many will
attribute to
chance the
appearance of
the young
peasant at the
scene. Chance,
however, does
not exist. As
the time of the
czar had not
arrived, the boy
was chosen to
prevent the
occurrence of
crime, because
things that seem
the effects of
random are
combined to
bring the
expected result.
|
|
2) Men are
unconscious
instruments of
the designs of
Providence and
it
is for them that
Providence
manifest,
without need to
resort to
prodigies.
3) If the young
Kommissaroff had
resisted the
impulse received
from spirits,
they would have
other ways to
thwart the crime
and preserve the
life of the czar.
4) A fly could
sting the hand
of the murderer
and divert it
from its
purpose; a
fluidic current
could be
directed to his
eyes
overshadowing
him and so on.
But if it had
sounded the
fatal time to
the Russian
emperor, nothing
could preserve
him.
Brought the case
to a spiritist
session held in
the house of a
Russian family
living in Paris,
the Spirit of
Moki, through
Mr. Desliens,
explained that
even the
existence of the
tiniest of
beings is not
left to chance.
The main events
of theirs lives
are determined
by their ordeal,
the details,
influenced by
theirs free
will. But the
whole situation
was planned and
combined in
advance, by
those who God
predisposed to
their care.
Choice of tests
-
Free will when
we are in
erraticity, i.e.
Before
reincarnation
process,
consists in
choosing gender
of existence and
nature of tests,
two key items in
the called
programming of
reincarnation so
in vogue in
nowadays and
that the
Spiritist
doctrine study
on questions
258, 262 and 872
d 'The Book of
Spirits.
There are only
two exceptions
to the theory of
choice referred
by superiors’
spirits. The
first, when
spirits are in
theirs origins
and do not have
sufficient
experience to
exercise it. The
second, when, by
their
inferiority or
lack of good
will, they are
not able to
understand what
is better for
them. God can
then impose an
existence
without hear
them, but the
Father knows how
to wait and does
not ever
precipitates an
atonement.
Confirming the
teaching of the
fundamental book
of spiritist
doctrine, Kardec
consign in the
Spiritist
Magazine of
1866, pp.
182 to 188, the
information
below:
1) When leaving
the Earth,
according to
power there
acquired, the
spirits seek the
environment that
is familiar to
them, unless,
when they cannot
be detached,
they are in the
night, unable to
see or hear
anything.
2) When
preparing to
reincarnate
spirits put
their ideas to
decisions of the
group that they
belongs. The
group discussed
the matter,
research and
advise.
3) Spirits can
then advised,
informed,
fortified, if
they want,
follow their
way, aware that
during the
journey they
will have a host
of earthly
invisible
spirits that
will not lose
sight of them
and will attend
them.
4) Each person
in the world has
a mission to
accomplish.
Being on a large
scale, or on a
smaller scale,
God will ask to
all accounts of
the opportunity
they have been
delivered.
5) In this
sense, the duty
of the
spiritists is
great, because
the gift that
was given to
them is one of
sovereign gifts
of God. Without
inflate
spiritists must
make every
effort to
deserve it.
6) No one should
reserve just for
yourself the
talent, but they
should offer to
all brothers,
working in
spiritist field,
under the
assistance of
good spirits,
which will never
fail them.
7) Instruct the
ignorant, assist
the weak, have
compassion to
the afflicted,
protect the
innocent, feel
sorry for those
who are in
mistake, forgive
enemies - these
are the virtues
that should grow
in abundance in
the path of true
spiritist.

Planning of
reincarnation
-
The
reincarnation
planning is
almost infinite
and satisfies
the criteria
that arise from
moral victories
or occasional
loss of each
candidate. In
general, states
Manoel P.
Miranda on
Themes of Life
and Death,
they are
established
automatically
operating
without major
concerns on the
part of
technicians in
rebirth, and for
which the great
majority of
spirits returned
to the earth,
identified by
their own
evolutionary
order.
|
Beside the
automatic laws
of
reincarnation,
there are
specialized
programs and
labour to attend
specific
purposes.
Candidates in
average level of
development,
before being
sent to earth
experience,
require the
opportunity,
committing their
best proposals
and presenting
the resources
that they expect
to use, to gain
the blessing of
resumption in
the blessed
school human. |
Examined by
skilled and
dedicated
developers, who
use special
techniques to
evaluate
possibilities
offered, they
are subjected to
lengthy training
sessions,
according to the
service to be
undertaken with
a view to the
welfare of
mankind, after
which the best
are selected,
which reduces
margin of
failure. Those
that are not
accepted, return
to courses of
specialization
to other
activities,
particularly in
balance, where
they can fortify
themselves to
defeat evil
inclinations of
earlier
existences where
they failed, and
to acquire
valuable skills
that they will
use, in the
future, when
reincarnated as
trends and
skills.
According to the
applicant's
personal data
sheet, some
research is done
on those that
can provide
support,
accordingly,
within the
karmic maps,
providing
necessary
meetings in the
sphere of
dreams, or
directly, where
a plan was drawn
up in advance in
which the future
members of the
clan live
together, first
in erraticity
and them on
Earth, where
they go with a
family already
established.
The influence of
the law of cause
and effect
-
The right to
plan our own
reincarnation is
conferred by a
law: that gives
the human free
will, freedom of
choice and
conduct, which
Kardec studied
thoroughly in
his books. The
free will is,
however, limited
by virtue of
another law: the
law of cause and
effect, whereby
each of us
receives from
life what we
give to life,
because the
seeding is free,
but the harvest
is mandatory.
We can see,
therefore, that
the conduct of
men affects a
lot the
programming of
their life.
There are two
classes of
causes that
influences human
existence -
warns Manoel P.
Miranda on
Themes of Life
and Death -:
nearby
causes
resulting from
this present
life in which
the person
lives, and
remote causes,
which come from
past actions.
Nearby Causes,
located in this
existence,
generate new
commitments
that, if
negative, can be
alleviated
immediately by
opposing
attitudes, and,
if positive,
expands in its
application.
Cigarette
smoking,
alcohol, drug
abuse, worship
sex, the
gluttony, among
other factors
solvents and
destructive, are
free choice, not
included in
educational
process for
anyone. The one
that binds to
any of them will
suffer
inexorably,
harmful effect.
Cigarette
smoking accounts
for cancers of
various origins,
tongue, mouth,
larynx, and for
many diseases
and respiratory
diseases,
particularly the
terrible
pulmonary
emphysema.
Alcoholism is
generating
organic
disorders and
psychological
consequences,
causing
misfortune that
should not
happen in that
way. That is the
launching of
madness,
depression or
aggression, in
mental area,
being
responsible for
gastric
disturbances,
kidney and
especially by
irreversible
liver cirrhosis.
Free-will in
state of
incarnated
-
After
programming
reincarnation in
state of
erraticity,
free-will is,
then after we
are incarnated,
the ability that
we have to
accept or resist
to entrainment,
temptations and
influences that
are voluntarily
submitted . Many
yield, few
resist. This is
where the role
of education and
period of
childhood are
vital to humans,
as Kardec warns
on the item 872
d 'The Book of
Spirits.
We are in our
corporeal
existence;
subject to
change by virtue
of free will
that God gave
us. Many
precipitated
marriages are
born from that,
because a person
may well become
involved with
another person,
outside of their
programming
reincarnation,
they may even
have children
together. The
fact does not
mean that the
children come by
chance. It only
means that
spiritual
protectors and
friends take
every
opportunity,
even the wrong,
to sow the good.
The born child
has a link, of
course, with one
of the parents.
Precipitate
marriages
usually have a
short life. The
reason is
simple: if we
have programmed
an entire team
of mentors and
friends of the
couple helping
them to make
things right in
others cases it
do not always
occur.
There are also
cases of
reprogramming,
in which, to
meet an
emergency, may
be given a new
direction to the
history of a
person. There
are many
examples, in
books of André
Luiz. One case
is when the
husband was
suicidal,
leaving women
and children
without the
strength
necessary to
perform their
tasks. A second
marriage in this
woman life may
well happen,
with the help of
spiritual
protectors. This
is a common
assumption to
the
reprogramming of
existence.
The experience
of Otávio
-
The following
example is from
the cap. Book 7
of The
Messengers, book
of André Luiz
psychographic by
Francisco
Cândido Xavier,
shows what can
happen in the
life of a person
who rebels with
the established
program. That is
what happened
with Otávio,
whose existence
was an absolute
failure.
After acquiring
huge debts in
another time,
Otávio was
collected by
brothers
dedicated to
"Our Home,"
which proved to
be relentless
with him. Otávio
prepared
himself, then
during thirty
years, to return
to Earth in
mediumistic
work, eager to
settle his
accounts and
increase in the
path of
perfection. The
Ministry of
Communication
helped him with
all the
facilities and,
above all, the
six entities
friends moved
more resources
to the benefit
of his success.
The marriage was
not in his plan;
his particular
case so
requires.
Despite single,
he should
receive when he
was twenty years
old the six
friends who
worked for him
in "Our Home",
which would
reach his circle
like orphans. At
first, he would
face increasing
difficulties,
then he would
receive aid
materials, as he
shows
renunciation,
detachment,
disinterest in
return of
benefits.
At thirteen
years old,
Otávio became
motherless; he
was spiritist
from the youth,
and when he was
fifteen years
old started the
first called
from the higher
plan. His father
married a second
time and,
despite the
kindness and
cooperation that
the stepmother
offered, Otávio
put himself in a
position of
false
superiority in
relation to her,
to live
revolted,
between
complaints and
misplaced
lamentations.
Led to a
spiritist group
of excellent
guidance
evangelical, he
lacked the
qualities of
worker and
faithful
companion.
Feeding distrust
with regard to
spiritual
guidance and
showing marked
penchant for the
critical of acts
of others. And
much doubted,
the spiritual
appeals were
taken to account
for
hallucinations.
A doctor advised
sexual
experiences and,
when he was
nineteen years
old, Otávio
delivered up to
the unbridled
abuse of sex, a
fact that
gradually
retreated him to
the spiritual
duty.
His father
passed away when
he was over than
twenty years
old. Two years
later, the
stepmother was
taken to Rest
Home, leaving
six children in
the orphanage,
which Otávio
finally
abandoned,
without
imagining that
launched his
generous
creditors of
"Our Home" to an
uncertain
destination.
Later, he
married and
received as his
child a
monstrous entity
linked to his
wife, creature
of a condition
much inferior
than his. His
home became a
constant torment
until he
disembodied,
having barely
completed 40
years, consumed
for syphilis, by
alcohol and the
grief, without
doing anything
useful to his
eternal future.
