The moral

medium in
communications
According to the

medium, in terms
of
implementation,
not merely an
instrument, has,

As much as we
devote to study,
to better
understand the
Mediumship, yet
we know very
little about
this wonderful
gift with the
Sovereign Wisdom
in the universe
looked for the
highest and
tasks of a
healthy
spiritual.
However, as we
received
information on
their use in a
manner
beneficial to
our growth as we
are immortal
spirits, the
better we can
see it, feel it
and witness its
effects, to
understand that
we are in still
in its
preliminary such
complex issues,
regardless of
Mediumship date
of all time,
granted by God
to all his
children.
Thus, we clamped
within a vast
literature on
this topic so
beautiful, some
lines that can
bring us a
little more
clarification on
the higher
purpose to help
us to become
worthy piece

area, seeking to
serve each day
more and better;
becoming useful
tools in the
fields of the
Master of
Nazareth spread
around us the
light of love in
the form of
charity to the
needy.
We start with
The Book of
Mediums, where
we collect the
lessons that
follow:
226. - Does the
development of
medianimity
depend on the
moral
development of
the medium?
"No; strictly
speaking, the
medianimic
faculty depends
on the organism,
and is
independent of
the moral
nature. This,
however, is not
the case as
regards the use
made of
medianimity,
which may be
good or bad,
according to the
moral qualities
of the medium."
He who sees
clearly and
trips is more
objectionable
than the blind
man who falls in
ditch
Always has said
that mediumship
is a gift from
God, a grace, a
favor. Why,
then, is not a
privilege of the
good people and
who are unworthy
people who
possess the
highest degree
and use it
wrong?
"All faculties
are favours for
which you should
be grateful; but
you might just
as well ask why
God grants good
eyesight to
malefactors,
sharp wits to
sharpers,
eloquence to men
who use it for
evil purposes.
It is the same
in regard to
medianimity;
unworthy persons
are often
endowed with it,
because they
need it more
than others, and
in order that it
may aid their
improvement. Do
you suppose that
God refuses the
means of
amendment to the
wicked? On the
contrary, He
multiplies those
means about them
at every step;
He places them
in their hands;
it is for those
to whom they
have been given
to profit by
them. Was not
Judas endowed,
as an apostle,
with apostolic
gifts? God
permitted him to
be thus endowed,
that he might
afterwards see
more clearly the
odiousness of
his treason."
The mediums, who
misuse their
powers, which do
not serve them
for good, or not
to take the
opportunity to
be educated,
suffer the
consequences of
failure?
"They will be
punished doubly,
because they
possess, beyond
others, the
means of
enlightenment.
He who, having
the use of his
eyes, fails to
follow the right
road, is judged
otherwise than
the blind man
who falls into a
ditch."
Since the moral
qualities of the
medium away from
imperfect
spirits, as a
medium endowed
with good
qualities
transmits false
answers or
vulgar?
"Can you look
into all the
recesses of a
medium's soul?
Though not
vicious, he may
still be
frivolous, or
may be but
imperfectly
cured of some
defect; and he
may need an
occasional
lesson to keep
him on his
guard."
By allowing the
superior spirits
that people
endowed with
great power, as
mediums, and
that much good
could have done,
are tools of the
error?
A medium is
never so perfect
that it can not
be attacked by a
weak side
"Spirits try to
influence all
mediums for
good; but when
mediums persist
in following a
wrong road, we
leave them to
themselves. We
use mediums of
slight moral
advancement, but
reluctantly, and
from lack of
better ones; for
we know that
truth cannot be
duly transmitted
by a liar."
Is it absolutely
impossible to
obtain good
communications
for a medium
imperfect?
"Such a medium
may sometimes
obtain good
communications,
because, if
possessed of
good medianimic
faculties, the
higher spirits
may use him, as
we have just
said, under
particular
circumstances,
or for want of a
better; but they
will only make a
momentary use of
him, and will
give him up as
soon as they
find another
whose moral
qualities suit
them better."
What is the
medium that
could be
described as
perfect?
"Perfect? Alas!
you well know
that perfection
is not to be
found upon the
earth; and that,
moreover, if it
were, you would
not be in it!
Say, rather, a
good medium ;
and that is
saying a good
deal, for 'good
mediums' are
rare. The
'perfect' medium
would be one
whom evil
spirits would
not even dare to
attempt to
deceive; the
best your earth
can furnish at
present is he,
who,
sympathising
only with good
spirits, is
least often
deceived."
If it only with
good spirits
sympathy, as
they allow to be
deceived?
"Good spirits
sometimes permit
deception to be
practised even
on the best
mediums, in
order to
exercise their
judgement, and
to teach them to
discern the true
from the false
and besides,
however good a
medium may be,
he is never so
perfect that he
has not some
weak point which
lays him open to
attack; and so
he now and then
gets a lesson.
The false
communications
which he
receives from
time to time are
warnings not to
think himself
infallible, and
not to give way
to pride; for
the medium who
obtains the most
admirable
communications
has no more
reason to be
proud of them
than an
organ-grinder
who should grind
out the most
splendid music
by merely
turning the
handle of some
unusually
well-constructed
barrel organ."
What are the
conditions
necessary for
the word of
spirits in the
upper reaches
disclaims any
change?
"Good
intentions, and
the renunciation
of selfishness
and pride; both
these conditions
are essential."
The moral
qualities of the
medium influence
on the capital
nature of the
spirits
Since the word
of superior
spirits do not
is pure, but in
difficult
conditions are
fulfilled, this
fact does not
constitute an
obstacle to the
spread of
truth?
"No; for light
always comes to
those who are
willing to
receive it. The
darkness you
have to
dissipate
results from
impurity of
heart. Get rid
of pride,
cupidity,
uncharitableness,
and good spirits
will help you to
light, even
without the aid
of ostensible
medianimity.
"Let all who,
not having a
medium at hand,
are desirous to
obtain
enlightenment,
use their own
reason in
learning more
and more of the
infinite power
and wisdom of
the Creator;
they will thus
give the best
evidence of
their sincerity,
and that
sincerity will
ensure to them
the occult
assistance of
spirits of high
degree."
227. Although a
medium, as such,
is only an
instrument, he
nevertheless
exercises a very
considerable
influence on the
communications
from the
spirit-world.
The
communicating
spirit is
obliged, in
order to
communicate, to
identify himself
with the spirit
of the medium;
and as this
identification
can only take
place in
proportion to
the sympathy,
the "affinity,"
to borrow the
expression of
Erastes,
existing between
them, it follows
that the soul of
the medium
attracts or
repels
disincarnate
spirits,
according to the
degree of their
similitude or
dissimilitude.
Thus good
mediums attract
good spirits,
and bad mediums
attract evil
spirits; because
the moral
qualities of the
medium
necessarily
determine the
kind of spirits
who communicate
through his
medianimity. If
a medium is
vicious,
inferior spirits
come around him
in crowds,
taking the place
of the good
spirits who may
have been
evoked.
The qualities
that
attract good
spirits are
kindness,
good-will,
single-mindedness,
love of the
neighbour, and
detachment from
earthly things;
the defects that
repel them are
pride, vanity,
selfishness,
envy, jealousy,
hatred, greed,
sensuality, and
all the passions
by which man
attaches himself
to matter. ¹

Chapter I
Undoubtedly -
agreed Assistant
Aulus -
mediumship is
the most
interesting
problem in the
world today.
Come on man's
land was the
Spirit. In light
of Cosmic
Religion of Love
and Wisdom and,
of course, needs
cooperation, so
that if you
enable
understanding.
About Aulus,
informs us André
Luiz:
He was
interested in
the psychic
experiments,
since 1779, when
Mesmer had met
in Paris in the
study of famous
public proposals
launched by the
famous
hypnotist.
Reincarnated at
the beginning of
last century,
appreciated very
closely the
achievements of
Allan Kardec,
the codification
of Spiritualism,
and deprived of
Cahagnet and
Balzac, with
Theophile
Gautier and
Victor Hugo,
ending his days
in France, after
several decades
devoted to
channeling and
magnetism in a
scientific
Europe. In the
spiritual world
continued on
this path,
observing and
working on their
educational
apostolate. By
taking up the
work of
spiritualization
in Brazil, and
this for over
thirty years,
commented,
optimistic,
hopes the new
field of action,
giving us the
know the
exquisite
luggage memory
and experience
that it was
carrying.
Aulus takes
André Luiz and
Hilary, to hear
his lecture
Instructor
Albério in vast
grounds of the
Ministry of
Communications,
among other
teachings that
said:
"... Each world
has the voltage
electromagnetic
field of its
own, the content
of the
gravitational
force that is
balanced, and
every soul is
involved in the
circle of living
forces that
exude the
"breath" of mind
in the realm of
creatures that
Imana in
obedience to
their needs
adjustment or
growth for
immortality.
Each planet's
orbit that
strikes you is
marked by
balance, not
going beyond the
lines of gravity
affecting it,
and each group
consciousness
evolves in a
spiritual
movement which
is subordinate.
Children of the
Creator, d 'He
inherited this
ability to
create and
develop, nurture
and transform
We are therefore
very broad range
of
intelligences,
tuned in the
same vibration
pattern of
perception,
incorporating a
whole,
consisting of a
few billion if
humans, who form
as it Humanity
Land ...
... Children of
the Creator, d
'He inherited
this ability to
create and
develop, nurture
and transform.
Of course
circumscribed
conceptual
dimensions in
which we find,
although the
smallness of our
position
compared to the
glory of the
spirits who are
over the
angel-hood, we
can throw us the
active energy of
thought itself,
establishing
around our
individuality,
the
psychological
environment that
in a private
...
... Our mind is
Dessarte, a core
of intelligent
forces,
generating
plasma subtle,
to externalize
incessantly us,
provides
features of
objectivity to
the figures of
our imagination,
under the
command of our
own designs.
The idea of a
"being"
organized by our
mind, the
thought forms
and which will
print movement
and direction.
From all of our
ideas clear our
very existence
...
... The second
one is easy to
complete, all
living beings
breathe in the
wave of psychic
dynamic that is
peculiar to
them, within the
dimensions to
them or the
frequency
characteristics
specific to
them. This
psyche is
independent of
the nerve
centers of that
time, flowing
from the mind,
is that it
affects all the
phenomena of
organic life
itself ...
... Examining,
then, values and
psychic powers
of communication
between spirits,
whatever the
plan may be, we
must not lose
sight of the
mental world of
the agent and
the container,
because in any
psychic
position,
intelligence is
receptive
subject to the
possibilities
and
interpretations
of the thoughts
that is capable
of producing.
