Death is a continuation. My glance penetrates  as deep as possible into this darkness where I can see,  from an extent that seems so fearful if it were not sublime,  the onset of the immense dawn of Eternity. W hat makes a man free? The soul. Who says free, says responsible as well. Is he responsible for all in this life? Definitely not, because there is anything more proved in this world than the possible and recurrent prosperity of bad men and the undeserved misfortune of the good ones during their passage on Earth. How many righteous men had only anguish and miseries until their last day? How many criminals had lived until old age in a peaceful and serene enjoyment of all goods of this world, including consideration and respect of all! Is man then responsible after this life? Evidently so, since he is not responsible during the present one. Something in him must survive to submit itself to this responsibility: the soul. The freedom of t...

A new article has been added to the SKL repository: " On the Way to the Light - Principles of Good Government as Implied by the Spirit World " by Brian Foster which is an analysis of the idea of good governemt in the context of the book ' On the Way to the Light ' by C. Xavier  (see reference below for book availability). Abstract The Spirit world is actively moving us to manage ourselves in a civilized manner. The book, On the Way to the Light , and other writings lay out the track for us to follow to improve the governments of whatever nations we reside.  Spiritism has existed over one hundred and fifty years, since Allan Kardec published The Spirits Book . The book states, in the conclusion section, "The development of these ideas present three distinct periods. The first is that of curiosity, excited by the strangeness of the phenomena produced; the second, that of reasoning and philosophy; the third, that of applications and co...

A new article has been added to the SKL repository: " On the Way to the Light: the Spiritist  Story of Earth as told by Emmanuel " by Brian Foster which is a review of F. C. Xavier book 'On the Way to the Light'  (see reference below for book availability). Abstract On the Way to the Light , by the spirit Emmanuel, psychographed by Francisco C. Xavier, was written in 1938, but first published in English in 2011. Emmanuel details how the Spirit world has managed and channeled the human race, from the conception of our planet to the present, on the road to a higher plateau. This book upends all we know about world history.   The article surveys the book and provides commentary on key events described by Emmanuel. It is intended to introduce the reader to a different aspect of Spiritism. Whereas most literature concentrates on our personal relationship to our own spiritual progress, O n the Way to the Light exposes the larger manipulation of the human race. ...

Previous Post: 'The non-observable Universe V' Read the full article here (via SKL repository). Conclusions According to a well-known type of realist standpoint, entity realism (Losee, 1993; Harré,1986), we can divide the world in many ‘cognitive kingdoms’: realm I asserts the existence of fully observable entities of Definition 1.1; realm II corresponds to non-observable in the sense of Definition 1.2a and realm III is made up of entities in the sense of Definition 1.2b. Much of what exists in the Universe is and will always be non-observable, leading to the proposition of non-empirically accessible causes in realm III. Examples of such entities abound in statistical and quantum physics or in genetic biology to quote a few. By adopting such realist view of the world, modern science has definitely showed that the scope of scientific enquiry cannot be restricted to public available phenomena. Here we have extended such a view to include meta-observable occurrences th...
