SPIRITISM middle name: Paganism RELIGION ALLAN KARDEC and the Spirit:
could say that spiritualism, was appointed as Allan Kardec philosophical doctrine founded in the nineteenth century. This doctrine is based on books by this great teacher. Spiritualism is referred to the system to study the spirits, according to its founder, is the study of the nature, origin and future of the spirits, and their relationship to the real world. Allan Kardec also said the spirit, as it leaves the material body can reincarnate either a man or a woman, regardless of race or color. So also played an important role in the abolition of slavery.
wrote one of the most important books for the Doctrine of Spiritualism in 1857, which marked the beginning of the Spiritualist movement, and in 1858 founded the Spiritist magazine that was its director until 1869. In 1867, published in this journal based on the idea that to understand spiritualism is necessary to use the trial and before admitting anything, knowing why and how of everything. Spiritualism is also directed to those who do not believe or doubt, but not those who have a faith and is already enough for them: do not ask anyone to stop believing in their faith and believe in the ideologies that he posited. Spiritualism is intended to improve the human being: not looking for the perfect, but those who strive to be. The true spiritualist who has not reached its goal, but those who truly want to upgrade. Why
like spiritualism? Because, according to Kardec himself, is a joy to know that our loved ones we have not lost forever, but they are always with us, and because the guidance given by the spirits tend to become better men. In his book, Journey spiritualist, Allan Kardec proves beyond doubt that he was a much more ahead of its time.
START MEDIA CONTACT:
Already in the Middle Ages believed that spirits returned to the living world. Such occurrences were recorded in many previous accounts of this period, but does not appear that there is any practical spiritualist. Since antiquity, humans have believed that you can communicate with the spirits, for example, Asia and Oceania shamans claim to have the ability to communicate with the spirits of the dead.
Currently, many people have had contact with practices to try to contact the dead through divinatory methods, such as the pebble and the game of the cup.
FOX SISTERS:
The history of the Fox sisters Hidesville occurred in the state of New York in 1848. These events marked the beginning of the modern spiritualist movement. The Fox brothers were seven, but included only three: Leah, with thirty-four years, Margaretta, fourteen, and Catherine, of twelve. His mother told the house where they lived temporarily suffered unexplained shaking the walls and furniture, the sound of steps and beats. The family came to the conclusion that the house was host to a restless spirit and ungrateful. They went to bed early the night of Friday, March 31, Margaretta and Catherine, still living with their parents settled in the room with their parents. Was the presence of them, which encouraged girls to respond with such effrontery when the blows began. The girls heard the shots and tried to do the same, the small asked to repeat the same spirit that made hitting her hands: the sound immediately repeated. Then, when the sound stopped, Margaretta told to do what she did: had one, two, three, four, hitting hands at the same time, and the blows appeared again.
Over the days, the girls began to communicate with the spirit, using an alphabetical code. The body was presented as a peddler of 31 years he had been murdered and buried in the basement of that house. Many residents attended the Fox family home to say that event, others came at the request of the spirit. Many people had questions and he answered them. Those hits alone were produced in the presence of girls. The girls and their mother went home to the oldest sister, Leah, to see if the shock disappeared, but it was not, because it was there where they were. The spirit, in one of his appearances, he said that rented the town's largest salt and show the world the power they had. In this performance the girls received some teasing and the ridicule, until to the point that a committee investigate the phenomena. Finding nothing, a second committee was formed and could not find anything. The enemies of the Fox sisters became very angry.
Unable to lead a normal life, had to leave and move to New York in 1850. The sisters were investigated by William Crookes, that doing the investigation, testified to the authenticity of the events. Skeptics, the sisters were cheating, and, thanks to the struggle to prove they received an unexpected support of the medium and the Fox family day that the Fox sisters admitted they committed fraud, was a happy day for those who do not believed in them. After three years, Sister of the wife of David Fox, Catherine saw did the trick, and after a while, it might make them too. On October 21, 1888 Catherine was summoned to reveal fraud:
"I'm here to report, as one of the founders of Spiritualism, it has all been a hoax from beginning to end, it is the most absurd superstitions, the vilest blasphemy known in the world. "
Everyone was silent, and suddenly while Catherine was still, has started to hear a knock at the hall in the hall, and one of ladies in the room began clapping and shouting, "is a hoax" "Is not a trick."
t after his sister Catherine Margaretta recanted what they said and reported that someone forced to testify against what they themselves had reported.
What was the truth that lay behind the confession and subsequent recantation? Certainly if Margaretta was able to take those shots on stage, no reason to think he also used such tricks as a medium. This was confirmed by the publication of letters from her husband, asking if I would end this farce.
In 1904, when the Fox sisters had died, one of the walls of his old house collapsed, between the ruins were found the remains of a corpse that could not be identified, but that would lead to the assumption of the veracity of the message they had received the Fox sisters
THESIS
Allan Kardec Allan Kardec is one of the pioneers of Spiritualism, but was recognized as an intuitive writer. He was born on October 3, 1804, in a home where she lived every day with the culture. He studied in Lyon and finished his studies in Yverdum (Switzerland), in this university was highlighted as one of the most extraordinary disciples of Letters and Science subjects. Upon returning to Paris mounted an institute of Education and as teacher, published many books. In college teaches chemistry, physics, astronomy and anatomy. After a year he meets with his friend and return to talking of phenomena, who proposed the hypothesis that these kinds of events were caused by spirits. This was the reason that should be encouraged to study and investigate this kind of phenomena.
In 1855 he visits the house of a medium to which he knew, Madame Roger. In that house many people know that you verify the story he has told his friend Carlotti. This is where this meeting will cause a lot more intrigue, and is invited to meetings of this kind of event. After a while get some notes contain many occurrences and strange phenomena, asking the analysis. In a session receives a spirit the news that he is the reincarnation of a druid of Gaul, called Allan Kardec, also tells that will help in the important task of explaining these phenomena.
During the little time that he had written all the books so he could complete the encoding spiritualist.
In 1861, the Inquisition burned 300 books on spiritualism in Barcelona, \u200b\u200band girders of a medium, received a message from the bishop who ordered the burning of the books listed. One of the most famous books of Kardec, is that of The Book of Spirits, where he explains his thesis on spiritualism:
All beings We humans are spiritual beings, but living in communion with a body of material which we discard, but not completely, as we move to the spiritual plane.
The man has two natures: the body, which participates in the nature of the animal, and soul, which participates in the nature of spirits.
Kardec in the book Genesis, with its realistic conception of spiritualism and human knowledge quotes these words:
"Spiritualism marching pace of progress will never be overwhelmed, because if new discoveries show that it is in error in some extent rectified at that point and if you reveal a new truth, the adoption of "
BURNETT EDWARD TAYLOR:
Edward Burnett Taylor was born into a wealthy family, but because of some health problems had to make many trips. In these, he began to penetrate the Aztecs, evolution and cultural development. He studied at Oxford and in 1861 was the first professional anthropologist and the first academic anthropology. I thought the history of mankind could be divided into three parts:
Wilderness, which was based on hunting and gathering.
Barbarism: the based on the time already used in agriculture and metals.
Civilization: that based on the writing.
For Taylor, the earlier civilizations of their time characterized their religion and beliefs of spiritual beings. This gave him the name of Animism.
FLORENCE COOK AND HIS GHOST: KATIE KING
In the nineteenth century, appeared a few facts that caused quite a stir in society at that time also a pleasure for the spiritualist movement. New medium appeared purporting to bring entities from the beyond, called Medium games, they created a commotion to those engaged in the study of spirits. Crochet
was an English chemist who conducted a study of this kind of occurrences, which took three years. There was a girl of only 15 years, called Florence Cook, who said that a ghost appeared to him that said his name was Katie King. Today this fact is still central in discussions and it is unclear whether it was a hoax or reality.
went to visit Florence crochet, to say that was a gift, you can become a person like her. When they were alone in the salt could be viewed as the medium went into a form of trance. Not being happy with this experience, asked that the ghost appear in the same place which was the medium, in order to verify whether the two were the same person, because with so exact a resemblance, it was not very credible .
was not many days until, finally, the ghost appeared next to the medium, to appear will was walking around the room. Crochet took her arm and felt the ghost was a living aperson, not look anything like a ghost. At that moment the personification convinced that he had between his arm, was not a ghost in my arms to catch it verify even more, and thus demonstrate the thesis of an experimenter who had previously published. Katie, after the evidence cited above, was also apparent with crochet. Upon entering the room was dark, and looked for the ghost, finding it lit a lamp and saw her kneeling on the floor. He took hand and felt his pulse, and realized that, indeed, you could feel the pulse. Rising, Katie was standing behind the supposed ghost. Soon to be in the camera, Miss Cook, made a sign to be out of the room, but William, stood in a dark corner and saw the suspect spectrum disappeared. When he got through Florence, the chemical realized that his height was very variable with the ghost, and I could see a scar on her neck and that the medium did not have.
As we have mentioned above is a fact that is still not knowing if it was true or a fraud.
The ghost of Ben-BOA:
Another event similar to Kayi King was the daughter of a general, who materialized to a ghost named Ben-Boa. He claimed to be a gentleman with a very peculiar costumes: always appeared with a robe, a helmet and a beard long, his feet could not see and had a stump. When did it disappear forever vertically, which could imply that the ground should have a trapdoor. The experience of the apparition, was in a room located in a barn, it was dark and covered with curtains, to be transparent, we could see the girl perfectly in the center chair. The appearance was very normal, as it could clearly distinguish the ghost, he looked like walking around the room without trouble and that when he spoke you could see how her lips moved.
thought it was a dummy, but it was impossible because of how he communicated with those present in the room. Then he noticed his breathing, causing blowing on a bottle of water to see if the bubbles formed, and in doing so found that I could.
This event is not very clear today, since we do not know if it was a hoax or reality.
JUAN BOSCO: MEDIUM OR NO?
John Bosco was born on August 16, 1815, in a village in Turin. His family was very devout and of high moral values. He had two older brothers: one of them to dirty tricks and the other loved him. Two years later, his father died, and by that fact, when he was five, had already begun to help his family in the land. I did not have the idea of \u200b\u200bbecoming a priest, but at nine he had his first dream, which he called "wonderful supernatural visions."
In the first he had, was fighting with two guys and it appeared the figure of the Lord, but at first did not recognize him. The Lord said: "For arguing with them, you have to beat them with love." John answered: "What telling me is impossible. Who has taught me to do that? ". The Lord said: My mother has it enrage you. And Our Lady suddenly appeared and said fighting these wolves, walks among them with courage and become sheep. This will be your job now.
Upon waking his family reported that he had sleep that night, his brother told him that more was to be leader of a group of bandits. His middle brother was not happy with what he said more and replied: no, you're going to be a shepherd tends a herd of sheep. His mother Margaret, in his wisdom said, son, perhaps you've dreamed I want to say that most are going to be a priest.
On June 6, 1841 after struggling for many years and friends for help to get to be a priest.
Thanks to a biographer of Don Bosco, when he reached the highest degree acquired three virtues: faith, love and a belief and trust in God.
For Bosco faith, was simply that had the confidence that God and Santa Maria were always with him and help in their work or mission. Charity seemed that came as an emotional and psychological. Quando
Don Bosco needed money to pay off some debt always found it funny. Once
Bosco had to settle an account that had long claimed the creditor said her students who went to church and pray if they were made, he had to go to town to do some business. Walking through the streets to find a man who recognized him and asked him if it was true that he needed money, Bosco replied yes. This man gave an envelope with money and with a bit of resentment accepted it, and might solve the paid.
Thanks to the prayers of his students and his faith in God and Santa Maria solved many problems of money.
Bosco in 1839 had a loss of a good friend before he died were softened. Luis Comollo his friend told him if either of them died, return to tell if he was happy. This pact was known all his fellow students. The morning of 3 to 4 April were lying in his bed when he started hearing the noise of carriages down the hall, the walls of the room vibrated like an earthquake. All seminalitas aroused because of such noise. The bedroom door opened and a voice strong rumble in the room, "Bosco, Bosco I'm saved." It was the voice of his friend Comollo, the day after her fellow students asked him if he understood the words they had heard, they answered yes, you were telling your friend I was saved.
In November 1856, her mother fell ill, a terrible pneumonia. While in the room with her, asked her to go to pray to his; to reach the light caught her three times and the three went out, until the light was kept burning, and it was then, when he saw the portrait his mother had fallen off the wall. Instantly, his brother told him that his mother had died.
By spending four years as he walked by the church saw his mother, who was there asked if she was dead before he left he said he would expect to be together forever. Bosco
The saint also had the gift to heal people on one occasion when he went to Rome to try to approve the Holy See for the Salesian Society, a cardinal asked him to visit his nephew, sick with typhoid fever, which was leading to death. Upon reaching the room he saw that the child was dying, and that was when Bosco asked all the family to have faith, and to pray to the Virgin Mary. Then he began to pray and said, now let's start virgin, blessed the boy and began to feel better.
When in Rome was to visit a powerful member of the Holy See, Cardinal Antonelli was sitting on a couch, unable to lift because of the drop. Asked to help the Society Salesian it so bad but he said he could not, Bosco told to have faith and the Virgin would help. In the morning the Cardinal stood up and went to speak with the pope to help the Salesians.
has cause to help the Cardinals, on 1 March 1869, the Salesian Society was approved by the Holy See. He also
raise a kid who could not go to admit for being out of Turin, to get home and learn that the boy had called him to confess a sin that he had said in the last confession. When I get home the boy had died, Bosco did not hear the family and went directly to where the deceased was, to get to the room I was prepared for burial, stood beside the bed and made his prayers, blessed, and at the end called the boy "Carlos, Carlos" the boy opened his eyes and saw Bosco told the dream I was having . I was next to a fire and demons chasing me after I had caught and were about to lie down to fire a lady told them to stop had not yet been tried and suddenly I heard his voice calling me.
The boy confessed and was freed from his sin, asked if I wanted to go to heaven or stay in this world, the boy thanked him but wanted to go to heaven. Before leaving
Juan Bosco said that until we are in paradise.
Many other miracles of Don Bosco was a good day of 1864 with the Padres were going Cagliero Rua and the party of the people, where they celebrated the feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven. People were very shocked because it had not rained for a long time and were afraid that they lose the crop. Don Bosco in the sermon, spoke to the people and said that if they wanted it to rain had to be reconciled to God by making a confession.
The next day at the conclusion of the party, everyone was gathered where Bosco had to do communion. When he came out people told him that as there was no no sign of clouds in the sky, and many thought that this time he was wrong. In the afternoon the church was crowded, and all eyes in Bosco, the sun suddenly became covered in a manner that its rays could not penetrate, rays began to rumble in the sky. Bosco gave thanks to the Virgin, and praise for the pilgrims. Suddenly it started raining hard and people could save crops in other nations not to trust Bosco lost their crops.
On December 13, 1885 Don Bosco had a conference with students in fourth and fifth grade on their future social status. After the session I asked a parent who take the bag of hazelnuts, but the father answered to be careful in the distribution, because there were many.
When he finished the conference took the bag and began to distribute a handful of nuts for each student, his face of astonishment of the students never saw the sores at empty bag, and kept always completely full.
One day Mr. Don Bosco, had to give communion to 650 children. At the beginning of Mass, he realized that there was insufficient wafer for all children who gathered at the church. The father who was busy filling the cup, on his journey he forgot to take more, and could not fill.
Bosco began the communion and suddenly became to look at the sky praying to the Virgin, to the end of Mass, all children received the ostia assembled.
One of the miracles ears, is that when in 1860 the chapel was not much bread was scarce and there were very few. Bosco, asked who was responsible for bringing the bread, to put them in a basket and bring them which always divided, that by the end of the students confessed that he himself would share. When he finished confessing the last child went to the door and began to distribute bread among the students. The first child to receive the bread, had written a letter to his mother that he would find, when her mother was waiting at the door, ran to her and said he was sorry for having sent this letter to come get him, but he, after seeing with their own eyes the miracle of the bread that he wanted to stay in the house played by God's hand. The boy was ordered to study and Bosco as the father.
The bread basket did not seem empty and all the children never received their bread to take home.
Father Don Bosco has been one of the most renowned of the Santos story, tube never any doubt that his God and the Virgin, let him alone, as you can see there was nothing evil in his body and gave it everything its people, asking nothing in return.
Metempsicosis:
metempsychosis is the doctrine of transmigration of souls, and teaches that all souls dwell in all beings in the world. One of the common principles that in many systems of philosophical and religious thought. Across cultures
explained in different ways. These cultures were identified as one of the many points of immortality. Many countries have their own meaning of metempsychosis, as for example in Egypt, Greece, India, which has more than two religions, Jewish education, all were Christian and the savage races.
Egypt: The Egyptians were among the first to say that the immortality of the soul existed, and when the soul leaves the body goes to another animal and so on until it has happened in the earthly beings, the sea, the air, and even that goes back into a human. These incarnations before returning humans have had to spend three thousand years.
In the "Book of the Dead", explain it as if was a sin before he died, would be judged and you reincarnate in inhumane ways.
Greece: I borrow the theory of the Egyptians. Metempsicosis say was a philosophical doctrine which Pythagoras said, comparing it with a Trojan hero. The theory is defined as: "Man is a fallen spirit, full of omissions, and that his only hope is to beams of education and philosophy, to recover the truth and be free from their chains.
A major objective of the theory is to guarantee personal continuity of the soul.
India: The doctrine is not written in the Indian books, but has recently been found in some paintings they call dogma. India has multitudes of religions but I have to mention two of the most important: the Brahminism, which has the doctrine of global cycles, annihilation and restoration to happen in time intervals the soul of this movement is merely an incident. Transmigration are moral values.
explain anomalies submitted between good and evil, everyone is eating the fruit of past actions.
Buddhism, rely more on the importance of the work, the effort of each person, the characteristic feature in metempsychosis, in Buddhism is the doctrine of karma, which means the conception of personal continuity.
Karma believes that transmigration is a promotion or a demotion.
Jewish education: According to the rabbis say that the soul migrates, but in two different ways of transmigration.
One of them say it can go through different bodies without going through the death and resurrection.
The following transmigration says that the righteous whether to let them return to life, but the evil had to be convicted in an eternal prison. Eras
Christian: Christians say that was a secret doctrine Metempsicosis sects of other times and was very different from Catholic doctrine.
Catholics say the soul, separated from the body available to God, and his status will rise for the good and become material existence.
also says that the soul, but have done a sin in the world of the living can purify and always will meet with God.
In the times we are many who advocate Metempsicosis, but do not talk much about it.
Wild Races: This belief has been found in many parts of the world, indigenous people of Australia and New Zealand, returning believe in ghosts or spirits who have died long ago.
When you give birth to a child's parents examined to find identifying features of a deceased family member.
Savages believe that the soul is like an independent reality, and that when someone dies, flies his tomb some time after his death.
Indians in India still believe that witches and wizards take the souls of men and animals.
Chest Hospital:
Chest Hospital is located on the outskirts of Terrassa, is a hospital that was only to bring the terminally ill, to have a place to die quietly.
People who entered at that place shall never be cured, or died from the disease, many were terminal, or committed suicide. The family never came to see them because they were highly contagious, and were left alone until the time of his death. That
hospital, only worked a few years, and closed. Currently there is only one area rehabilitated to treat mentally disabled people.
Since then the security guards off the lights in the hospital because they claim to hear voices and moaning in plants. Researchers have entered the hospital to try to get something paranormal, and have always managed to find something.
They say they have seen shadows across walls, crying and screaming, sicofonias strange asking for help, and temperature changes abruptly.
At night on the top floor of the hospital where all exterior lights are off can be seen in a room, the light is on and no one is inside. Many recordings ask for help, and its passages may notice if something embraced.
This is a magical place or dark, according to people familiar with this event, says it is a dwelling place of punishment and disgrace. It is not known why these events or who makes them, but has a very interesting mystery.
MYSTERIES OF PADRE PIO:
Father Pio was one of the most followed religious world, from small and had visions that he never knew decipher. When was about fifteen years and entering the Church, was where they started the stigmata.
was held for ten years because other priests were jealous of him, within this prison said he had visits from the devil and animals that it hurt, to fall into temptation. Her
enigmas of Jesus Christ in the hands and feet, visions that later came true, the largest of its visions was to say the day of his death.
Many doctors checked his injuries and could never heal, but the day of his death was closed.
Church finally beatified and canonized as a saint.
Some people always said that the stigmata made them himself, with an acid, and others that made the mind. For the Church, these acts were a divine gift which had been granted. This has always been and will be a mystery, but Padre Pio as a saint.
