Most of people living the busy life of these days are not interested in the fundamental problems of the Existence. First of all they think that questions about the "God existence" and the "immortality of the soul" are duties of the priests, religion ministers, philosophers and theologians. When everything is doing fine I their lives, they do not even think about God and, when they do, it is just to make a prayer, or to go to the church or other acts that are ordinary obligations they have to comply anyway. The religion for them is just a simple social formality, some thing that people can have and nothing more. In the best case, it is a "peace of mind" to feel good with God. This is so evident that many people don’t even have a firm belief in the words they preach, bringing with them serious doubts about God and the life continuation after death.

However, when such people are surrendered for a serious personal issue, a strong financial break, the loss of a dear being, an incurable disease, which are facts that soon of later happen to everyone, they do not fin into themselves the faith needed, neither the understanding required to face the problem with courage and resignation, falling down into desperation.

The Spiritist knowledge open us a broad and rational vision of the life, explaining it buy a irrefutable and convincing manner and allowing us to start a deep transformation, putting us closer to God.

What is the Spiritism about?

The Spiritism can answer the fundamental questions of life, such as:

• Who are you?
• Before you were born, what and where were you? And where will you go after your death?
• Why is the reason you are in this world?
• Why do some people suffer more then others?
• Why were some children born rich and others born poor?
• Why were some children born blind and physically or mentally handcap, while others born clever and healthful?
• Why would God allow such an inequality among His sons?
• Why are there so many tragedies in the word and the global sadness surpasses the happiness?
• Why does someone who is bad have less suffering then another one who is good?
• When it happens a car accident, for instance, why does one person lose its life, another become seriously wounded and another escape without any scratch? Why are their destinies so different? Where is the Divine Justice in this case?

Those questions and many others can be answered by the Spiritism, because such are the questions we make to ourselves in face of so many injustices, inequality and different lucks in the complex life of our planet…

The Sense of the Spiritism Religion

The Spiritism is not a kind of religion organized through a clerical structure. In this case, it is completely different from traditional religions. In the Spiritism there is no priests, no religious heads, no sumptuous temples, it does not adopt any kind of ceremonies as baptism, weddings, etc... there is no rituals, no candles, no special clothes, neither any kind of symbols. It does not use ornaments for cults, nor reverence gestures, nor talisman, nor smokes, no ceremony songs, no drinks, no offers, etc..

The Spiritism cult is performed deeply from the heart. It is the cult of pure feelings, of the love for the neighbor, of the constant work in favor of the mankind. Only the pure thought in the good can connect us to God and only the goodwill actions make us His truly followers. Thus, the Spiritism try to revive the Jesus' teachings, by its deep simplicity and sincerity, without luxury, without social conventions, without pomps, without wealthy, because God must be adored through our soul and true, as recommended by Jesus.

The Spiritism is the Consoler promised by Jesus, as in John, 14 15-17 & 26:

"If you love me keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comforter, who will be with you forever - the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, it neither sees him nor knows him; But you shall know him, for he lives with you and shall be in you. ...But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and remind you of everything I have said to you"
