You have lived multiple lives. At times you have been rich, poor, a servant and a slave. Maybe even a King or a Queen, at the least a member of the minor nobility.Many famous people in the past have believed in reincarnation, such as Thomas Edison and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. They both believed in the spirit world and made attempts to communicate with the world beyond.There is a realm, a universe greater than ours and it is filled with intelligences that we can only wonder at. There are spirits around the earth who are actively helping and guiding us in our planning and during our actual incarnations.The Case for Reincarnation - Your Path to Perfection is here to answer your questions;1. Why do we reincarnate?2. How does the process work?3. How many reincarnations must we have?4. What memories do we retain from our previous lives?5. Do we have control over our reincarnations?6. Why must we suffer?7. How may I insure my next life is better?8. How may I progress to being a perfected spirit?

Each section supplies one more piece of the puzzle for you to place, so you can look at your life’s arc with new insights. 1.

It’s the age old expression, that we all say at one time or another, “Why me?” Well there is a reason and it will be explained to you. 2. When – In what period along your souls timeline is all of this happening? Yes, there is a greater context of your soul, which you may not be aware of. Knowing your relative position in the path to perfection will guide you to understanding your current life. 3. How – How does all of this occur? How does the entire process affect your destiny and actions? What are the rules of the game? Knowing the structure and comprehending the basic laws that direct your life provides you with a point of view that will put everything into perspective. 4. Where – Where is this world that plans our destiny? Are there good places to be and are there bad? Where does the earth fit into the logical structure? You will see where the regions that you are striving to attain are and where you may be living in your not-to-distant future.

Spiritism ties everything together. It reveals our purpose, our beginnings, our end goal, and the scope of the organization behind it all. Spiritism tells us there are no miracles ... only phenomena that we don't yet understand. That miraculous healing, vision of spirits, near death experiences, and glimpses of the future are all entirely possible given our place in the spirit realm.The spirit realm is dedicated to bring vital messages to us, not via organized religion, which had the tendency to withhold knowledge for their own gain - but to each individual so he or she could determine what path in life they would follow. We must each determine for ourselves whether we continue on to be mere consumers or to learn to balance our spiritual and material needs, so someday we may ascend up and out of the sphere of continual incarnations and a harsh learning environment - to become a pure spirit and a contributor to the spirit universe.

Spiritism - Everything is Connected

Agaram Bagaram is an indefinable word Swam Prakshananda used to describe himself, meaning hodgepodge, down to earth and humorously self-effacing. Nevertheless, he was regarded as jnani, a self-realized being acknowledged by both seekers and saints. This small book consists of a short biography of Swami Prakashananda (58 pages) plus a lot of parables he told as his way to answer to requests of his pupil.

"The development of these ideas (Spiritism) present three distinct periods. The first is that of curiosity, excited by the strangeness of the phenomena produced; the second, that of reasoning and philosophy; the third, that of applications and consequences." (Allan Kardec)We are in the third period of the Third Revelation, that of Application and Consequences. Hence, the excitement has been worn off during the early heady years of Allan Kardec, the Doctrine has been discussed and further defined by the books of Leon Denis, Francisco (Chico) C. Xavier, Yvonne Pereira, Divaldo Franco and other mediums. Now it is the time to start applying the Doctrine, to not only our daily lives but to transform the world.What should happen when more and more people believe in the Doctrine of Spiritism? Do we collectively continue on as before? A mass market for consumers, while the media feeds us moral relativism? Absolutely not - as Spiritist, we must begin the transformation from a planet of atonement to a world of regeneration. A world of respect and justice, without martial conflicts. Sounds easy, but extremely difficult to implement. And it must be a gradual and non-violent evolution. For the end does not justify the means. The means (love, charity, fraternity, respect, and honor) justify the end, for that is the only path which adheres to what we have learned.

This book covers communications that pertain to three main themes:* Life in heaven* Lower regions* Appearances of Jesus in the spirit realmMany religions offer pictures of life after our spirit leaves our physical body. Most descriptions are hazy and prone to numerous interpretations. Spiritism, via communication from spirits who have been selected by high-level spirits, supplies us will real and actionable knowledge. Revelations in Spiritist literature presents an exciting picture of the bands of heaven and life therein. While a fuller explanation is extended about aspects of life and the organization of the regions below heaven.True knowledge of heaven and the alternatives is important for each of us. Parents attempt to motivate their children to do well in school by showing them what awaits them if they apply themselves. Mothers and fathers fully realize the need to present a case for why the child should abandon old habits from early childhood and start applying themselves to gain a better life in the future. As part of encouraging children, parents also point out the pitfalls of not bearing down - children are shown the type of life that results without dedication to learning and self-discipline.If we look at our life as a one-time event, there is no advantage in not pursing the most hedonistic lifestyle possible - just as a child would consider the pluses and minuses between studying or playing. On the other hand, Spiritism lifts us up the mountain so we can see our lives arc over many centuries. One life is just one set of courses on the school of earth. In between physical existences, we may either spend it in heaven or below. It is up to us.Spiritism brings you the knowledge of why we are here, what is our goal, and the methods to achieve graduation from this planet. Allan Kardec notified the world that doing our best to remove our baser characteristics and to learn to be more loving, fraternal, charitable, and honest with our fellow humans brings its rewards ... life in heaven. While selfishness, envy, greed, and exploiting others practically guarantee a sojourn in the lower regions - where you either adjust your thinking or wait to improve in the next physical life on earth.Allan Kardec, the Codifier of Spiritism, wasn't the first nor the last to make this point, but via messages from the spirit world, he was able to clearly layout the reasons to perform well in this life and provide clear descriptions of the locations you shall be visiting depending upon your actions.Spiritism does not tell anyone they will rot in hell if they commit horrible deeds - only that they should be prepared for bad accommodations after death, which they won't be able to check-out of until they demonstrate a lasting change of character. And their next life will entail many lessons in which they will be able to feel the brunt of what they have done to others in a previous life. In essence, karma is real and it has a purpose.That is all. You have free will. Spiritism has supplied you with information about your possible options. Your life's priorities and your decisions are yours to make.

The series of three books I have written; analyzing and expanding the communications from various groups of spirits to the Rev. G. Vale Owen, are for the express purpose of explaining the reality - the organization, the process, the environment, the progression of spirits, the work, the daily life - of Heaven and the realms below to provide for those interested an understanding of why we are on earth, in our present physical form, and what is waiting for us when our dense shell is cast off and we return to the real world ... the spirit world.How we are Guided by Spirits - Book 3 of Spiritism as Revealed to an Anglican Vicar -Book 3 covers communications that pertain to three main themes:1. Guiding humans on earth2. Spirit assistance3. The future of earthBook 3 illustrates the ground game of the spirit world. Via the messages of multiple spirits to the Rev. G. Vale Owen we are presented examples of how the spirit realm above us peers down upon their unruly students. The process of tracking and modifying behavior on an individual and a collective basis is revealed. Even the broader direction of human society in the future is posted for all to see.

How we are Guided by Spirits: Book 3 of Spiritism - The Spirit World Revealed to an Anglican Vicar

In the book Spiritual Wisdom: Missives of Hope, by J. Herculano Pires and Francisco (Chico) C. Xavier, there is a poem dictated to Chico by the spirit Andre Luiz. It is revelatory. The poem has twenty-four verses which pertain with how we should place ourselves in a mental state to achieve inner peace. Inner peace isn't a condition to enjoy for a moment or two on the beach after a few drinks - it is a life quest ... a multiple life quest. In the spirit world thought is action. As a spirit, our mind creates the environment in which we live. Hence the more control we have over our own thoughts, the more calm, the more reasoning, the more loving we become ... all contribute to a true paradise awaiting us when we are scheduled to pass back to the real world - the spirit realm.The poem is essentially a list for advancement and serenity. Each chapter will explore one aspect of attaining inner peace. I shall attempt to describe the end state of what was envisioned in the specific verse and why this state is vital for your spiritual growth.Inner Peace is more than a poem or a list of spiritual conquests - it is what should be the result of full integration into the Spiritist Doctrine. Inner Peace is the result, the summit of attainment possible in our short earth lives. The climb is worth the effort and upon reaching the summit you shall view more mountains to scale and ever increasing rewards to attain in your quest.
