TO BE A SPIRITUALIST

Every religious conviction is important, however, if we look for the Spiritualistic Doctrine, we cannot deny it fidelity. (1) Due to countless reasons we needed to preserve the doctrinaire whole. Even because, before the educational functions of the religious beliefs, in general, Emmanuel explains: only the Spiritualistic Doctrine allows us the free exam, with the feeling free from dogmatic compressions, so that the faith contemplates the reason, face to face. (2) If the religions "prepare" the souls for punishments and rewards in the after-life, only Kardec´s concepts elucidate that we will all harvest according to what we planted in life, without any privilege in the Divine Justice.

The Doctrine codified by Allan Kardec offers us the precise key for the true interpretation of the Gospel. Due to representing the freedom and the understanding in itself. There are those who think that the Third Revelation is forced to miscegenates itself with all of the adventurous peripeteia and religious exoticisms, under penalty of fleeing to the imposing of the fraternity that transmits. But we have to be on watch about this flattering eclecticism, looking for dignifying the Doctrine that consoles and frees us, watching its purity and simplicity (3) so that we do not collaborate, surreptitiously, with the vices of the ignorance and the crimes of thought.

The legacy of tolerance cannot be transfigured in the omission of the obligatory verbal warning before the conceptual grafting and anomalous practices that some fellows attempt to impose in the hosts of the doctrinaire movement.

Nevertheless, to repel the extreme attitudes we should not give up the vigilance demanded by the purity of the spiritualistic postulates and do not hesitate, when the situation is imposed, in the alert about the fidelity we owe to Kardec and Jesus.

It is important not to forget that in the little concessions we are going to defile the project of the Third Revelation. It is obvious that the fight for the doctrinaire purity and simplicity without living it is to consolidate disturbance focuses, imposing norms onto others, unconcerned of the vigil itself.

This way, for us to avoid certain perfectly dispensable practices on behalf of Spiritualism, we have to understand that the practice of fidelity to Kardec´s precepts is a learning process with responsibility on the bases of the Christian dignity, without any traces of fanaticism, which tends to make a healthy discussion around controversial subjects impossible, however we should not forget that the Spiritualist should be our character, even when we are readjusting ourselves, after the fall. Spiritualist should be our behavior, even when we are in hard experiences. Spiritualist should be the name of our name, even when we breathe in afflicting combats with ourselves. Spiritualist should be the clear adjective of our institution, even when, due to that, transitory subsidies and terrestrial honor lack us. (4)

And, also, Emmanuel admonishes: Spiritualistic doctrine means Doctrine of Christ. And the Doctrine of Christ is the doctrine of the moral improvement in all of the worlds. Keep it, then, in the existence, as being your higher responsibility, because there will come the day when you will be naturally invited to render him account. (5) [Highlighted]
