    Mediumship: Study and Practice Program 2 1 Federação Espírita Brasileira Mediumship: Study and Practice Program 2 Organized by: Marta Antunes Moura Translated by: SUMMARY 2 3 Mediumship: Study and Practice - Program 2 Introduction Further to the launch of the Program I: Mediumship Course: Study and Practice, we present to the Spiritist Movement the Program II which completes the doctrinal content planned for the formation of mediumship workers in the Spiritist House. In this program, the study and practical activities have become more compressed and focused on Mediumistic practice, expected to be developed within six months, including the complementary activities, considered optional. The weekly meetings remain up to two hours, and the presentation of each theoretical theme is at maximum between 30-40 minutes, reserving the remaining time (1 hour and 30/20 minutes) to the Mediumistic exercise, developed in the form of a supervised Mediumistic meeting. Upon completion of the course, if the course coordination understands that participants need more time for Mediumistic practice, they may extend the supervised Mediumistic practice to one or two semesters, in accordance with the existing possibilities. Another possibility, always keeping consistency with the existing conditions in the Spiritist institution, is to direct participants who effectively demonstrate spiritual conditions to join a Mediumistic group, assuming their commitment to the work of mediumship. Participants should be aware that the completion of the course does not guarantee them referral to a Mediumistic group, considering that the Mediumistic experience demands of each one, not only doctrinal knowledge itself, but the persevering effort of moral improvement, dedication, attendance and mental health.

  • ASTRAL PROJECTIONS, by Michael Ross. Melrose Books, Cambridge, UK; 2010
    163 Book Review ASTRAL PROJECTIONS, by Michael Ross. Melrose Books, Cambridge, UK; 2010. It’s a pleasure for me to review the recently published book “Astral Projections” of Michael Ross, a familiar author to the readers, as he published in the JofC, over the years, a number of interesting articles, personal accounts and letters. Ross, an Honours Degree in Mental Philosophy and today a retired teacher of primary aged children, is what we can call a veteran projector, who could live, so far, over 200 out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and many other related psychic phenomena, since a relatively early age. His book is therefore a more than welcome effort on his part and a significant contribution to the development of lucid projectability on this planet. As Ross explains in the introduction, the book is structured around two main themes. The first one is his longstanding search for an incontrovertible proof of the non-hallucinatory reality of extracorporeal travels; the second one is the desire to bring a testimony of his personal parapsychic history. The result is a highly readable, well thought and enjoyable text, which although does not meet all the scientific conditions to really make a point regarding his “proof quest,” certainly will succeed in providing the reader an enriching and lively overview of the multifaceted panorama of parapsychism and multidimensionality, as experienced by the author during a life; all this accompanied by his many personal anecdotes and reflections, which provide much of the charm and authenticity of this autobiographical essay. The content of the book is organized in 15 chapters.

  • Chico Xavier Part I
    Part I 2015 © United States Spiritist Council Prepared by: Jussara Korngold Francisco de Paula Cândido Xavier was born on April 2nd, 1910 into a poor family, including nine brothers and sisters, in the suburbs of Belo Horizonte. From early childhood, he was so dierent from other boys that his father thought that they brought home the wrong child from the hospital! Although he needed to work from a very early age, Chico considered this to be an indescribable blessing. The boy was raised Catholic and always prayed with extreme devotion. At the age of four, he told his father about a spirit that was disturbing him. His family feared the boy was possessed by the Devil so a priest asked Chico to pray 1,000 Hail Marys and to follow the church processions, carrying a 40 -pound stone on his head! But neither this penitence nor the fact that he was beaten three times a day by his godmother, prevented Chico from having contact with the spiritual realm for the rest of his life. When he was ve, his mother, Maria Joao de Deus died but Chico could see and talk to her spirit. He received through automatic writing the book Letters of a Dead Woman , dictated by his mother. Maria Joao Joao Cidalia Her spirit appeared to him, promising that she would give him a new mother . And so it happened. The young Cidália Batista agreed to marry the widower João Cândido, on one condition; that he brings together his children, who had been looked after by neighbors, so that she could take care of them as her own.

  • How to Deal with Parapsychic Phenomena in an Extraterrestrial Environment?
    How to Deal with Parapsychic Phenomena in an Extraterrestrial Environment? Anibal Picanço Bentes Member of Mars Society Brazil. Graduated at Navy School of Brazil. Criminal analyst and public security policy maker. Public servant of the State of Bahia - Brazil. Independent researcher of Conscientiology – [email protected] ABSTRACT: Based on the neoscience of Projectiology, proposed by the Brazilian physician and parapsychic researcher Waldo Vieira, in 1986, launched by the treaty Panorama on the Experiences of Consciousness Outside the Human Body. This article presents hypotheses of spontaneous parapsychic experiences that could be experienced by astronauts, during a long-distance space navigation, due to the distance of the energy fields, characteristic of the earth, to which the human being is adapted: magnetosphere; geoenergy; hydroenergy; aeroenergy; phytoenergy and bioenergies – of humans and animals. Also, by hypothesis, altered states of consciousness, of parapsychic nature, may occur under the influence of immanent energy fields from other planets, like Mars, which have natural physical constitution different from the terrestrial. The hypotheses, above mentioned, have their bases in the theories of Projectiology, which considers parapsychic, sensory and cognitive as natural resources and physiological in humans beings, a kind of intelligence that can be learned; developed and controlled by will, through scientific technicals, method or cultural transmission, removing the mystical or esoteric references. With a brief of the scientific use of the parapsychism in the twentieth century, by both NASA and the CIA, we can infer that the subject is not exactly new, but requires renewed attention; transparency in their actions and programs; qualified researchers and scientists and the introduction of its use in the space exploration.The domain of parapsychic phenomena serves for many possibilities, as instrument for self-knowledge, development of personal maturity and cognitive enhancement, regarding multidimensional realities.

  • WORKBOOK – 2 (The Spiritist Principles)
    WORKBOOK – 2 (The Spiritist Principles) COURSE ON SPIRITISM WORKBOOK II: THE SPIRITIST PRINCIPLES © Copyright Spiritist Society of Baltimore, Inc. FIRST EDITION 2005 This material is an adaptation of the “Systematic Study of the Spiritist Doctrine” (“Estudo Sistematizado da Doutrina Espírita”), edited by the Brazilian Spiritist Federation. This project was coordinated by the teamwork effort of Vanessa Anseloni, PsyD, PhD Luís Eduardo Almeida, MD, PhD Daniel Santos, Pharm.D., Ph.D. This material is subject to improvement. “A regular course on Spiritism would be given in order to develop the principles of Science and to promote the fondness for serious studies. This course would have the advantage of laying the foundation for the unit of principles, of forming enlightened followers, capable of spreading the spiritist ideas, and developing a great number of mediums. I consider this course of a nature to exercise capital influence on the future of Spiritism and its consequences.” Allan Kardec “Posthumous Works” - Project, 1868 Sponsored by The Spiritist Society of Baltimore, Inc. http://www.ssbaltimore.org ____________________________________ 1 Spiritist Society of Baltimore, Inc. INTRODUCTION AND EXPLANATORY NOTES. It is with great pleasure that the Spiritist Society of Baltimore (SSB), an educational non- profit organization established in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, offers this material for the implementation of Spiritism in English. The main purpose of this work is to fulfill, in the English language, the ideas of Kardec about a systematic study of Spiritism principles. Accordingly, the interested student has an opportunity to build up a main understanding of the scientific, moral and philosophic aspects of Spiritism, as well as a scholar of Spiritism, with knowledge acquired after many years of study, should also find interesting references in this material.
