Before world crises


It was in 1967, which means, just a little more than 50 years ago that Emmanuel released for publishing his book title Scheduled Appointment, psychographic work by the medium Chico Xavier, in which has the chapter “Before world crisis”.

The fact reminds us that the passage of time does not affect the current present crisis in life on our globe; it just changes its nature and its higher or lower reverberation on daily life of those who lives in it.

If we though back in time 50 years, which is 1917, we would be talking about the devastation of the Great War, in full action without a forecast of ending it; what would only happen in the following year.

Indeed, it had started officially on July 28th, 1914, when the Austro-Hungarian empire declared war on Serbia, the conflict just ended on November 11th, 1918 when Germany signed with Allies the “Compiègne Armistice” in a wagon in Compiègne forest.

It reached the end after four years with thousands of families destroyed and t about 10 million of dead, the so called War of Wars.

In the message “Before world crisis”, Emmanuel wrote:

“Indeed, the world is an increasing amend, that follows us own and in essential changing times, it is comprehensible that Earth looks a house in refurbishment, tormented temporarily by transposition of lines and readjustment of traditional values.

Everything in re-examination, in order to revalidate authentic resources of civilization from the bargain of the false concepts of progress, from which life is stripped to go forth, freer and simpler, while more responsible and more cultured.”

House in refurbishment!

Those who have never reform house ignores how it brings disorder which is considerably bigger when there are people living in during the reform.

It is exactly that which is seen on Earth, although it has passed 50 years since Scheduled Appointmentpublication.

Open newspapers or watching News on TV, whatever the day, it means to put yourself before crisis and twitch of happenings and outrages that it could take us to disenchantment and wish of disappearing, in the case of thinking that life in this world is a chaos and the own planet is a masterless ship.

Friends and readers ask us: What should we do? How to proceed?

Emmanuel answers:

    “Do (…), where you are, such a point of tranquillity and succor.

The desert is sometimes immense; however, some isolated sources are enough to guarantee the safe journey through it.

In the absence of the Sun, a candle can light thousands of others, removing the siege from the darkness.

That the world finds itself in painful conflicts, like a gigantic crucible boiling to purify human values, it is more than reasonable, it is necessary.

However, above all, we must consider that we must be, despite our imperfections, a point of light in the darkness, in which the inspiration of the Lord can shine." (Scheduled Appointment, work psychographed by the medium Chico Xavier.)
