The evil
eye in
the
Spiritist
perspective
(Part 2 Final) |
A little further
on, Hermínio C.
de Miranda
explains in
detail:
It is known for
sure, however,
that powerful
mental forces
can be
manipulated by
thought and
will. There
is, therefore,
no evil eye in
the sense that a
simple glance
can wilt a plant
or make a person
sick; there are,
however,
disharmonized
feelings which,
potentiated by
the conscious or
unconscious
will, cause
considerable
disorders in
people, animals
or plants.
Thought is the
most powerful
energy in the
Universe and
circulates
through a
perfect system
of communicating
vessels, through
all of Nature.
According to the
intentions under
which it is
issued, it can
both build and
destroy. It can
give life, and
take life. It is
nothing more
than this.
(MIRANDA, 1991,
page 320,
emphasis added).
Ney Prieto
Peres, in Practical
Manual of the
Spiritist,
deals with this
subject:
Popular
knowledge itself
has already
defined the
concept of "evil
eye", which,
when directed by
certain
creatures,
causes so much
damage to other
people’s
material goods,
if not
uneasiness and
even illness.
It is the
vibration that
the envious
sends, of such a
strong negative
involvement,
that, when
reaching someone
unprotected and
unprepared, can
really cause
several evils.
Therefore, let
us be very
careful with the
feelings of envy
that we send to
others, always
remembering that
we will receive
in return the
evil we caused
others. (PERES,
1989, page 82,
emphasis added).

Spirits
The Spirit
Antonio Carlos,
through the
medium Vera
Lucia Marinzeck
de Carvalho
(?-), in the
book Ah,
if I could go
back in Time! at
a certain point,
states:
[...] Careless
is the person
who does not
believe that
negative
energies, whatever
they may be and
wherever they
come from, can
reach us, as
well as those
who think that
everything that
happens to us is
through the
influence of
others. One
should never
forget the
reactions of
one's own
actions. And if
we vibrate in
the good,
nothing of evil
will reach us. (CARVALHO,
2006, page 103,
emphasis added).
Joanna de
Angelis, the
mentor of the
famous medium
Divaldo Franco,
born in the
Brazilian state
of Bahia, in the
book Self-Knowledge - an
inner search
(Autodescobimento
– uma busca
interior),
weaves these
considerations:
[...] there are
many evil
effects on the
body, caused by
disorganized and
in disarray
thoughts, by
uncontrolled
emotions, and a
pessimistic and
restless mind in
the cellular
apparatus.
Certain strong
emotions -
fear, anger,
aggression,
jealousy - cause
high adrenaline
discharges into
the bloodstream,
thanks to the
adrenal glands.
At the same
time, this
emotional action
- reacting in
the body -
produces an
increase in the
sugar rate, a
stronger
muscular
contraction, in
view of the
increase in the
volume of blood
irrigation and
its faster
coagulation
capacity.
The repetition
of the
phenomenon
causes several
diseases like
diabetes,
arthritis,
hypertension...Thus,
each physical
illness brings a
corresponding
psychic,
emotional or
spiritual
component. [...](FRANCO,
2006, pages
19-20, emphasis
added).

In Codification
In Genesis,
Chapter XIV -
The fluids,
Kardec makes
several
statements
regarding this
subject. It is
important to
seek this
confirmation, as
it will validate
all the opinions
previously
mentioned.
15. Since fluids
are the vehicle
of thought, it
acts upon fluids
like sound over
air; they bring
us the thought,
as the air
brings us the
sound [...].
16. Since these
fluids are the
vehicle of
thought and can
modify its
properties, it
is evident that
they must be
impregnated with
the good or bad
qualities of the
thoughts that
make them
vibrate,
changing
according to the
purity or
impurity of the
feelings. Evil
thoughts corrupt
spiritual
fluids, as
deleterious
miasmas corrupt
the breathable
air [...].
17. [...] Like
the odors, they
[the fluids] are
designated by
their properties,
their effects
and original
types. From
the moral point
of view, they
bear the stamp
of feelings of
hatred, envy,
jealousy, pride,
selfishness,
violence,
hypocrisy,
kindness,
benevolence,
love, charity,
sweetness, etc. Under
the physical
aspect, they are
exciting,
soothing,
penetrating,
astringent,
irritating,
sweetening,
soporific,
narcotic, toxic,
repairing, and
expulsive; they
become a force
of transmission,
propulsion, etc.
The picture of
fluids would be
that of all the
passions,
virtues and
vices of
Humanity and the
properties of
matter,
corresponding to
the effects they
produce.
18. […] The
thought of the
incarnate acts
on the spiritual
fluids, like
that of the
disembodied, and
is transmitted
from Spirit to
Spirit through
the same via
and, if it is
good or evil, it
cleanses or
contaminates the
fluids of the
environment.
[...].
When these
fluids act on
the perispirit,
this, in turn,
reacts on the
material
organism with
which it is in
molecular
contact. If
the exhalation
is of a good
nature, the body
is affected by a
pleasant
impression; if
they are bad,
the impression
is painful. If
they are
permanent and
energetic,
the bad
exhalations can
cause physical
disorders; this
is the cause of
certain diseases".
(KARDEC, 2007e,
pages. 324-327,
emphasis added).
We believe that
the doctrinal
position
regarding the
subject is
clear,
considering the
book Genesis,
as well as the
several opinions
mentioned above.
It is opportune
to copy the
precious page of
the Spirit
Rosangela, a
psychographic by
Jose Raul
Teixeira (1949-
), entitled "The
Thought":
For you, who
know that
thought is
energy molding
life, it is an
imperative to
take good care
of its sources,
to improve the
pattern of
vibrations that
depart from theimo of
the soul.
To think is to
build ...
To think is to
sow ...
To think is to
produce ...
Pay attention to
what you sow,
what you
produce, in the
building of your
life, with your
mental waves.
Your non-stop
thought projects
yourself...
Think better.
Thought is
life!" (TEIXEIRA,
1996, pages
28-31).
We understand
that all caution
is essential,
because... "The
spell may turn
against the
sorcerer":
“[...] the
unbalance of the
mind can
determine the
general disarray
of the organic
cells. [...] The
poisoning of the
soul determines
the diseases of
the body"
(instructor
ALEXANDRE in Missionaries
of Light)
(XAVIER, 1986b,
315).
Let us return to
the Spirit
Rosangela, in
the message "The
Guest":
Begin cleaning
the inner parts
of your soul,
put perfume in
your inner home,
and enclose each
inner room with
the necessary
silence so that
He becomes the
gentlest Guest
of your life,
never again
turning away.
Who is he? Have
you not yet
realized that I
am speaking to
you about Jesus?
Then invite Him
without delay,
and let Him stay
forever! (TEIXEIRA,
1996, page 111).
Let us follow
these
suggestions so
that we will not
suffer the
consequences of
our sense of
envy, which is,
in fact, what
causes an evil
eye.
