Christianity is right when it recommends leniency in the face of mistakes, when it tells man not to allow himself to be trapped in the demonic clutches of remorse. Indeed, without such leniency, the burden of life becomes easily unbearable. But beyond that, the spirit allows itself to be impregnated with an unjustifiable pride, an inability to recognize its own fallibility, with which it cannot truly evolve.

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.

An in-depth study of Western and Eastern religions shows that, each in its own way, they lead the spirit to reflect on essential questions. If we look at several of them and get to know their very high spokespeople, the hardest thing is to decide on one or the other, rather than both and all of them. Beyond convenience, however, it seems necessary to choose so that the practice is guided and reinforced by a tradition. It may be an arbitrary choice, but it results in a compromise that is almost always enriching.

Belief surpasses disbelief in all cases because it is willing to go to any lengths, since it is based on something greater. It wins, therefore, as do those who let go of themselves, ignore limits and do not chain themselves to the illusory present. In this battle, there is a necessary end and only one side faces it with resolution.
