UPDATE

   There is a natural fear that Spiritism gets updated. After all, who has such authority for that? Maybe, it should happen naturally and collectively. Without successors, but stimulators. Even then, anyone who appears with a new idea, or different common sense, receives anathemas and exclusion by the most conservative. It’s important to point out that the dogma attracts as a magnet. It’s about a powerful mechanism of defense, a secure anchor, that maintains the mind on certain principles, fearing collapse. Dogmas aren’t just straight principles, but also ideas and beliefs, even if, initially, new and updater that, by fear of insecurity, solidificate in the mind, preventing the advance of some knowledge. Spiritism have been gradually updated separated of the keepers in charge. A great example was the work constructed by the medium Chico Xavier. Not fearing to be attacking Spiritism or to believe that it might be destroyed, all sincere and dedicated to his study spiritualists should philosophize about the classic writing of their  predecessors, founders and stimulators. As said by Allan Kardec: “ The Spiritism is from divine order, ‘cause it relies in nature laws”. Nothing to fear.

AVATAR

   Good movie and with different messages, by the taste of who analyzes it, even if they consider it a simple entertainment. Ecologic, political, anti-imperialist, critical to de unmeasured human ambition, between other possibilities of comprehension. I went out of the movie theater, in the 3D version, analyzing the movie under the optics of reincarnation. In the beginning, the movie shows the possibility of the human mind to control another body, fabricated with part of the DNA of the body that holds it;  the new body is like a clone obtained by the mixture of two distinct organisms that, with sophisticated technologie is controlled by the mind of a still incarnated person and can, at any time, return to their original body. The temporary permanence in the second body (the one obtained by the mixture os DNAs) doesn’t retrieve the consciousness of the existence of the human body, the originary, nor its whole memory, ‘cause the mind only transfer itself, temporally  controlling the avatar. The idea can be understood as a possibility of reincarnation in a pre-molded body, with the assistance of the human uterus, without passing through infancy. I like the idea, ‘cause it seems feasible in of the possible future sceneries to humanity.

Zíbia Gasparetto

   To dedicate yourself to the psychic work for, almost uninterrupted fifty years is a Herculean task, even more when maternal obligations are concurrent. Compensation comes with time, with the consciousness of complied duty and with the sweet and soft presence of the Spiritual Benefactors. My admiration for Zíbia comes from long time, when I was in her home to her 80 years old celebration, visiting her son, Luiz Antonio Gasparetto, medium and a great worker for the spiritualist labors. I see her as a reincarnated spirit with an important mission, enabling that millions o people penetrate the spiritual dimension by reading of psychographic works, very useful for the human consolation. Her  wide literary contribution, begun since de beginning of the 60’s, shows Spiritism in a simple form, with novels of easy and rich reading, not rummaging on the writing and not demonstrating the interest of indoctrinating the reader. Many initiated in the study of Spiritism from her work, showing the spiritual world as the dimension in which the heart speaks loudly. Congratulations, Zíbia. Your name is written in the gallery of the great figures of Spiritism.
