Did
Chico
Xavier
really
psychograph
books?
(Second
and
Final
Part)
It is in
this
manner
that we
will
find
expressions
such as
"I
was
enraptured
in
spirit",
"I
was
enraptured
in
ecstasy",
"I
was
taken in
spirit"
and
"I was
moved by
the
spirit".
The
latter
leading
the
reader
to
believe
that
perhaps
this
Spirit
is the
Holy
Spirit,
in whom
they
believe.
Other
narratives
tell us
the
reality
of the
withdrawal
of the
Spirit
of
|
John,
with the
consequent
possession
of his
body by
the
revealing
Spirit,
Jesus.
Hence it
is easy
to
understand
why
John,
though
uneducated,
wrote,
as this
mediumistic
occurrence
is
characterised
as a
mechanical
mediumship,
where
the
Spirit
of the
medium
is moved
away
from the
body, so
that the
communicating
Spirit
makes
use of
that
body to
give his
message. |
In this type of
mediumship the
medium produces
things far
beyond his own
current
knowledge,
however he does
not keep any
memory of the
events which
occurred,
because they are
not recorded in
his physical
memory.
Did Chico Xavier
really
psychograph
books?
To those who
don't know,
Chico Xavier,
attended only
primary school
and, in an
analysis of the
contents of what
he produced
through his
mediumship, we
find knowledge
far beyond his
own school
culture. He
succeeded in his
first mediumship
work,
Parnassus from
beyond the Grave,
in automatically
writing 256
poems from 56
authors. These
poems perfectly
identify with
the known style
of the poets of
the messages.
Who knows;
perhaps a genius
would be able to
do this, but
that wasn't the
case with
Chico.
An expert in
graphoscopy,
Carlos Augusto
Perandréa, after
analyzing a
message received
in Italian, a
language which
was unknown to
Chico, in
comparison with
writings of that
person when
alive, as it
indicates on his
book find
Psychography in
the light of
grafoscopy,
attests:
“The message
automatically
written by
Francisco
Cândido Xavier,
on July 22nd,
1978, assigned
to Ilda Mascaro
Saullo,
contains,
according to
demo photos (fig
13 to 18), in '
number ' and '
quality ',
substantial and
compelling
graphical
features of
graphic genesis
for the
revelation and
identification
of Ilda Mascaro
Saullo as author
of the
questioned
message ".
(PERANDRÉA,
1991, page 56.)
It is good to
mention that
after "700
technical
reports, without
a single
contestation in
25 years of
operation,
provide
Professor
Perandréa,
knowledge,
ability and high
credibility to
study
psychography
impartially and
scientifically".
(APPOLONI,
1991.)
We must record
that he was a
son of a
Catholic family
and, according
to Marcel Souto
Maior, "At the
end of his
studies,
Professor Carlos
Augusto
Perandréa – at
the time a
professor of the
Department of
Applied
Pathology,
Legislation and
Deontology of
the Universidade
Estadual de
Londrina –
became converted
to Spiritism.
(SOUTO MAIOR,
2004, page 23).
It is precious
piece of
information
because there
always arise,
those who want
to disqualify
the reports of
Prof. Perandréa
by saying he is
a spiritist,
i.e. done by a
spiritist, as if
this was enough
to overturn him.
Whoever may have
that intention
can simply
submit a
rebuttal expert
document, then
of course, one
would be outside
of fanaticism
and moving
towards
something more
scientific than
a simple dispute
without basis.
And, even in the
case of
scientific
research being
done by
spiritists, only
a rebuttal is
that which could
knock it. We
quote for
example that
which was
carried out by
Paul Rossi
Severino and
team of AME-SP,
from which the
book “Life
Triumphs:
research on
messages
received by
Chico Xavier”
was
published. After
analysis of 45
letters-messages
received by him,
it was
concluded, among
other things
presented in
twenty-five
charts
(SEVERINO, 1992,
page 279-291):
a) 62.2% of
communicants
were Catholics;
b) 42.2% of
informants
sought Chico
only once, 33.3%
two to three
times;
c) 93.3% of
informants were
not known by
Chico before
death;
d) 71.1% letter-
messages had
reports of
personal facts;
e) 60.0% used
peculiar phrases
when they were
alive;
f) 57.8%
contained the
peculiar style
of the
communicant;
g) 35.6%
submitted
identical
signatures and
22.2% similar
ones;
h) 88.9% of
those who
authenticated
the
communication
were a group of
more than 3
persons;
I) 62.2% of the
messages quoted
over six facts
that were
proven;
j) 100% hit in
the messages.
Here is the
conclusion
reached: "The
evidences of the
survival of the
Spirit are very
strong." (SEVERINO,
1992, page 278.)
Certainly we
will always be
ready to see any
rebuttal to this
research.
An interesting
snippet narrated
in the book
Our Friend Chico
Xavier:
"The other case
of xenoglossy
occurred after
visiting,
together with
Dr. Romulo
Dantas, the farm
owned by Dr.
Louis Uslar; a
Luxembourgish
engineer and
founder of
Monlevade Plant
of the
Belgian-Mineira
Company in
Molevade (Minas
Gerais). After
their return, in
one of his
prayers, he
receives a
message in
Luxembourgish,
addressed to the
engineer, who on
reading it was
taken by great
surprise and
admiration: it
was written in
his national
language, with
such perfection,
that only those
intellectuals of
his motherland
would be able to
understand it”.
"It is
necessary to
note that very
few people in
our country
speak
Luxembourgish.
It would
necessary to
finger pick
them, because
this language is
spoken in a
European country
that has a total
population of
340,000
inhabitants,
which is
equivalent to
our seaside
town, Santos ".
(COSTA E SILVA,
1995, p. 145).
In this same
book a case
where Chico
psychographed in
reverse, English
is cited (p.
146). An unusual
fact for anyone
who does not
speak or write
in that
language.
"With more than
400 publications
and 25 million
copies sold,
Chico Xavier is
unquestionably
one of the
largest
editorial
phenomena of the
country. The
only Brazilian
who surpassed
him is Paulo
Coelho, with 30
million books
sold "[1].
Indeed, several
of them are
translated and
published in
Castilian,
Esperanto,
French, English,
Japanese, Greek,
etc. So, the
facts are those
which point to
the veracity of
Chico Xavier’s
psychography and
that if these
works were
assigned to the
Spirits we
should then, for
consistency,
have him occupy
a place in the
Brazilian
Academy of
Literature.
Conclusion
From behind all
this we clearly
perceive that
what really has
been questioned
is the
possibility of
communication
between the
living and the
dead. As already
said by us "God
is the God of
the living",
so why could
there be no
communication
between the two
plans of life?
Just because
some theologians
believe there
isn’t? But what
about the
researches on
the subject-
aren’t they
worth anything?
We could cite
the researches
carried out by
Mr. William
Crookes and
countless other
wise men,
however, they
may present
objections
relevant to the
time when they
were carried out
and many more.
But we will not
go so far. We
strive to add to
what we have
said, the
testimony of a
Catholic priest.
Exactly, for
being a priest
is why his
opinion is
important, as we
know that though
it may not be
the official
position of the
Catholic Church,
almost all
priests say that
the
communication
with the "dead"
is not possible.
A position which
we find very
strange, as we
do not know any
living Saint,
but nevertheless
Catholics still
evoke them,
asking them to
solve their
problems of
everyday life.
The call upon
the Saints to
intercede for
them with God,
as we often seek
the help of a
person to get a
favour from
another one who
is more
influential.
Priest François
Brune, a
Catholic
researcher of
the Instrumental
Trans-Communication
- communication
with the spirits
by electronic
means tells us
the following:
"To ask
questions about
the origins, in
Western thought,
of this recent
ideology of
nothing, is not
my purpose”.
The more
outrageous is
the silence, the
disdain, even
censorship
exercised by
Science and by
the Church,
regarding the
most
extraordinary
incontestable
discovery of our
time: the
after-life
exists and we
can communicate
with those whom
we call dead.
I wrote this
book to try to
overturn this
thick wall of
silence, of
incomprehension,
ostracism,
erected by most
Western media
intellectuals.
For them, to
discuss eternity
is tolerable; to
say that one can
live it becomes
more debatable;
to affirm that
one can enter
into
communication
with it is
considered
intolerable.
The priest and
theologian that
I am, wanted, as
it is said, to
make sure of the
full truth. Why
all these
testimonies
should be a
priori,
considered
suspect? When
the content of
messages and
communications
recorded
together, as I
demonstrate, the
largest mystical
texts of
different
traditions,
there is in this
more than a mere
coincidence. I
followed then
and passionately
studied the
results of the
most recent
researches in
this field. The
conclusions of
this work
exceeded my
expectations:
not only the
scientific
credibility of
the experiences
of communication
with the dead is
confirmed and
can no longer be
doubted, but the
prodigious
wealth of
literature from
the beyond
revived in me
what centuries
of theological
intellectualism
had
extinguished. (BRUNE,
1991, p.15.)
