W e know that mediumship is a human faculty that allows us to get in contact with the Spirits (1). Mediumship is a neutral ability, that is, it is not attached to the "good" or the "evil" side or, putting in another way, it does not depend on the bad or good use we make of it. Moreover, it is not equally distributed among all people. Organic dispositions make it a gorgeous capacity of some people while , for the majority, it is almost imperceptible. In the past, mediums were highly regarded and persecuted. It is possible to identify traces of mediumship in many past personalities of the human history. In the Old Testament, prophets were consulted and called "Seers" (see, for example, Isaiah 30:10, Samuel I, 9:18 and 19). In ancient Greece, the Oracle of Delphi listened to all kinds of problems of private and public life. Religious dogmatism, however, in several times, also persecuted mediums who were regarded bearers of unknown and diabolical powers...

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.

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. ...
