Although it is undoubtedly not professional or prudent to sit at a table and allow oneself to admire the hideous wonder of the white screen with the cursor flashing like a macabre chronometer, doing so sometimes proves curious, when the result is that the brain picks up the idea from an obscure corner of the mind, and then develops it in detail, without having prepared for it. Kardec asserts that this is a very natural metaphysical process which, although intelligible, once accepted calls into question the limits, identity and individual capacities of the being.

What Often Goes Unnoticed
What often goes unnoticed is that being is often nothing more than striving to be continuously, it is nothing more than manifesting the desire to be by the act, and by the same act making positive what is wanted. This enormous truth stands out and, because it is misunderstood, there are so many unsuccessful life projects, so many spirits who are lost waiting for a miracle that certainly does not happen without sweat and action.
The Great Moment of Fiction Reading
The great moment of fiction reading is when we perceive, in the individuality of the author and the work, the connection with the universal. It is great because it amplifies the sense of detail and demonstrates that the human drama is a shared drama. By noticing it, we become aware that neither time nor space alter this essential condition of being, responsible for the possibility of understanding between men; by noticing it, we become aware that the smallest thing, no matter how small, contains within itself a perennial and interchangeable significance.
Although Spiritism Has Certainly…
Although Spiritism has certainly not yet succeeded in convincing the world of the phenomena it documents and explains with a remarkable wealth of detail, the fact that it has presented the world with some of the most virtuous personalities that have set foot on this earth in the last two centuries is a guarantee that it will endure. If not for the originality of the doctrine, if not for the curious exposition of the extraordinary, it is by example that it has already earned its place among the most solid and interesting religions on the planet.
