The Doctrine of Spiritism provides the commentary to fill in the blanks, to explain the processes whereby souls are taken, shown fantastic displays and imparted information. Not all details are known, but using the compass of Spiritist teachings, light is shone upon the questions we all have:1.Why is the spirit world communicating to us?2.Are we truly given specific tasks to perform while on earth?3.Why are we loved to such a degree as described by near death survivors?4.How can we see past family members?5.Have we all lived before?6.How are we judged and why?7.How can the spirit world show us the future and different scenarios of the future, one where we are on earth and one where we alter the lives of all who were affected by our presence?8.How are we guided by the spirit world?This book is your pathway to unlock the mysteries of the spirit world. It is just a beginning step, but a required one. By reading and understanding what others have seen, you will determine for yourself the extent of the love and guidance that constantly surrounds every human on earth and assists you to make the choice to place your first foot toward the journey to purify your soul.

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.

If this sounds like heaven to you, then you are correct - it is heaven.

Relationships are the threads that bind our lives' complicated tapestry together. They give us happiness, comfort, and a feeling of community. Yet, they can also be the source of frustration, pain, and conflict, especially when we encounter difficult individuals. These people challenge our patience, test our resilience, and push our emotional boundaries. We've all met people who seem to thrive on conflict, whether it be a controlling partner, toxic friend, demanding boss, or combative family member. Discovering the core of interpersonal dynamics is what this book, "Beyond Conflict: Transforming Relationships with Difficult Individuals," is all about. More importantly, it guides how to turn these difficult relationships into opportunities for personal development, empathy, and even healing. It examines the profound effects that challenging people can have on our lives.In the ensuing chapters, we will explore the psychology of challenging people, the causes of conflict, and the adverse effects of conflict on our well-being. We'll learn how to navigate these choppy waters with the help of selfreflection, effective communication, empathy, and healthy boundary-setting. You will learn how not just to survive but thrive in the company of challenging people through real-life experiences and helpful tactics.

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.

Dans le livre Spiritual Wisdom: Missives of Hope, de J. Herculano Pires et Francisco (Chico) C. Xavier, on trouve un poème dicté à Chico par l'esprit André Luiz. Ce poème est révélateur. Il compte vingt-quatre vers indiquant dans quel état d'esprit nous devons nous placer pour atteindre la paix intérieure. Cette paix intérieure n'est pas un état auquel nous devrions aspirer pour un bref moment sur la plage après quelques verres; c'est une quête pour la vie... de multiples vies, en fait.Dans le monde spirituel, la pensée devient action. En tant qu'esprit, notre pensée crée l'environnement dans lequel nous vivons. Par conséquent, plus nous contrôlons nos pensées, plus nous devenons calmes, raisonnés et aimables. Tout cela contribue à rejoindre un véritable paradis lorsque vient notre heure de retourner dans le monde réel: le monde spirituel.Ce poème constitue un parcours pour guider notre avancement et assurer notre sérénité.Dans chaque chapitre, j'explorerai un aspect des étapes permettant d'atteindre la paix intérieure. Je tenterai de décrire la condition ultime à laquelle chaque vers fait référence et d'expliquer pourquoi cette condition est essentielle pour votre croissance spirituelle.La paix intérieure, c'est plus qu'un poème ou une liste de conquêtes spirituelles. C'est le résultat que nous devrions atteindre après avoir complètement assimilé la doctrine spirite. La paix intérieure est le sommet des réalisations possibles pendant nos courtes vies sur Terre. L'ascension vaut l'effort, et rendus au sommet, nous verrons d'autres montagnes à escalader et des récompenses toujours plus grandes à amasser au fil de notre quête.

I am going to turn your world upside down. There have been countless books and articles written on how to solve your problems. Most of them detail expedient methods to rid yourself of the worries that concern you or how to box up your anxieties and quickly move on. Positive thinking is a big factor too. Always a good idea, but moving forward and not analyzing the cause may lead to a lesson not learned. At the end, most of the programs center on to how to get back on your feet and make more money than you have ever dreamed of. This book is different. Not that the others are bad or useless. Just that this book is different. It rests on an altered premise; life is a planned series of trials. Trials or more precisely deliberate classes to teach you exactly what you need to learn. All set up beforehand by the Supreme Intelligence. Contrary to what most of us have been taught, we aren't here to merely be born into a random family, survive childhood, escape our teenage years without major injury and then it's off to the world to be successful. We are on earth, just as we were in previous lives to modify ourselves. We are tasked to completely internalize the need to be a better, kinder, charitable and honest soul. To achieve this worthy goal takes more than one, two, three, or a dozen lives. It is a long process and each successive life brings its own types of schooling. The worst parts of your life are where you absorb the most difficult lessons. It is these times, to take stock of who we are and what we are being guided to learn. Shrugging off a trial you have escaped unhurt and not being cognizant of the consequences of your behavior, in this life or in the past, that caused a challenging time constitutes a failure. This lack of self-awareness is a bomb that lies dormant and will explode later in your present or next life. I am not telling you to enjoy bad times. I am pleading with your to look at them like running a marathon or an Ironman triathlon. Where the pain can be excruciating, the competition tough, and the bruises are evident on your body. But, at the end you feel that you made it, you lived up to your expectations and you learned about the extent that you can push yourself. The Spirituality has set our predestined lives to achieve exactly that. Before you were born, you signed up for the race and now, whether you like it or not, you have to complete it. You are not allowed exit or take shortcuts. You don't even want to know the penalties for departing early. So it's time to get serious and throw our heart into the race. Be victorious and claim the prize that the spirit world says is a hundredfold more than any pain you experienced. In this book your will learn to analyze why are you experiencing, or have been through, the following types of events: 1. Financial problems 2. Failed relationship(s) / marriage(s) 3. Family problems 4. Illnesses - physical and mental 5. Career setbacks 6. Addiction 7. Stress And in doing so, you shall be able to make the first step in analyzing what you should have learned and how it will make you a better person. You are a spirit who will eventually return to the real world, the spirit world, ready to climb up the ladder to become a pure spirit. The Problem is the Solution - 7 Life Complications Sent to Test and Teach You

Spiritism was presented to us by the Spirit world so we here on earth may perfect ourselves and prepare the earth to reach a higher plane of existence. Using Spiritism, we are expected to improve our collective behavior. Spiritism was brought to us via the work of Allan Kardec. In 1857, in response to the growing interest in spirits and mediums, Allan Kardec (pen name of the French teacher and educator Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail) organized a series of questions designed to discern the exact nature and wishes of the spirits. He did not accept information from just one medium, but verified the response to a question from multiple mediums throughout Europe. Allan Kardec wrote a total of five books documenting the answers to his questions. The basic tenants of Spiritism are: 1. Love God. 2. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. 3. Practice justice. 4. Forgive all who offend you. 5. Make amends for our own wrong doing. The spirits revealed to us the basic facts of our existence: 1. Your soul is immortal. 2. You travel through multiple lives as a process to learn to love, be fraternal, and be selfless. 3. The goal of God is for every spirit to one day be pure. 4. There is no eternal hell, it is a station for souls who are materialistic and have an excessive love of self. 5. There are many levels of heaven. Heaven is not a place where we have eternal leisure, but one of on-going work to help others. 6. Life on earth is like a school. You are assigned events in your life and how you react and behave will determine your spiritual progress.

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.

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 earth 2. Spirit assistance 3. The future of earth Book 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.

This book covers communications that pertain to three main themes: -Life in heaven -Lower regions -Appearances of Jesus in the spirit realm Many 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.
