Despite
being
born in
1993,
Brooke
Greenberg
did not
grow;
she
could
not eat,
and
could
not walk
alone or
talk.
She had
the size
and
mental
capacity
of a
child.
Oddly
enough,
she
still
had the
same
teeth as
when he
was, in
fact, a
baby.
She was
never
diagnosed
as
having
any
known
genetic
syndrome
or
chromosomal
anomaly
that
might
help
explain
why she
did not
grow.
Even a
study of
her DNA
was not
able to
specify
why she
remained
with the
body and
appearance
of a
child
until
she
disembodied
in 2013.
Some
experts
try to
discover
an
explanation
for her
not-aging.
For
Richard
Walker
of the
University
of South
Florida's
School
of
Medicine
in
Tampa,
Brooke's
body did
not have
a
coordinated
development.
It's
like as
if she
is out
of
synchrony.
Proof of
this was
her bone
age when
she
disembodied,
estimated
at 10
years.
In her
first
six
years of
life,
Brooke
went
through
a series
of
medical
emergencies
and
survived
them
all. She
had
seven
stomach
ulcers,
a brain
convulsion
that was
diagnosed
as a
stroke,
with no
apparent
damage.
At 4
years of
age,
Brooke
fell
into a
lethargy
that led
her to
sleep
for 14
days.
Doctors
then
diagnosed
a brain
tumor.
Brooke
attended
a school
for
children
with
special
needs
and
remained
as if
frozen
in the
most
absolute
childhood.
Similar
case is
that of
Suraya
Brown,
known as
"the
girl who
refuses
to
grow".
Over ten
years of
age, she
weighs 7
kilos
today,
which
would be
normal
for a 3
year
child.
Bone
x-rays
revealed
abnormalities,
but a
genetic
test for
a rare
dwarf
disease,
called
Silver-Russell
Syndrome,
turned
out to
be
negative,
as well
as other
forms of
dwarfism
that
were
also
ruled
out.
Brooke
and
Brown
are
extremely
rare
cases.
The
facts
lead us
to think
about
the
functional
structure
of the
perispirit,
the Law
of Cause
and
Effect,
reincarnation,
suicide,
among
other
topics
that the
Spiritist
Doctrine
explains
prudently.
By the
way, on
the
reincarnations
thesis
The
World
Christian
Encyclopediastates
that the
"500
researchers
and 121
consultants,
after
visiting
212
countries,
have
concluded
in 100
reports
that in
the year
2000 the
population
of the
Earth
would
reach
over 6
billion
inhabitants
and that
2/3 of
this
population,
i.e.,
about 4
billion
people,
would
have an
idea
about
reincarnation”.(1)
Regarding
the
issue of
the
plurality
of
existences,
strictly
speaking,
before
we
reincarnate,
examining
our own
needs
for
moral
improvement,
we often
ask for
a
physical
limitation
on our
new
bodily
experience,
so that
this
condition
induces
us to
elevate
our
feelings.
We ask
the
Benefactors
for a
physical
disability
capable
of
educating
our
impulses;
this or
that
physical
injury
that
will
make us
work our
discipline;
a
specific
mutilation
that
will
inhibit
us of an
exaggerated
aggressiveness;
the
psychological
complex
that
removes
from us
inferior
ideas,
and so
on.
It is
the
consistency
of
justice
before
the Law
of
Reincarnation
and the
Principle
of Cause
and
Effect.
In fact,
we have
lived on
Earth or
on other
orbs
countless
times
and we
have
recorded
in the
subtle
tissue
of the
psych
soma the
records
of our
previous
acquisitions
and
follies,
which
are
energetic
fulcrums
in
potentiation
nuclei,
and, at
the
moment
of the
connection
of the
perispirit
to the
zygote,
we
reflect,
in this
cellular
body,
the
coefficient
of our
moral
stage.
Therefore,
our
moral
state is
what
will
determine
rebirths,
with
congenital
anomalies
or not.
Congenital
malformations
are
extremely
variable
in both
type and
causal
mechanism,
but all
arise
from a
development
disorder
during
fetal
life.
There
are
biochemical
anomalies
that
manifest
at birth
or in
the
neonatal
period
and are
considered
as birth
defects,
although
they are
not
associated
with a
current
malformation.
A child
may be
malformed
because
its
genetic
programming
was
imperfect,
or
because
environmental
factors
altered
the
training
work, or
even by
the
simultaneous
existence
of both.
For this
reason,
the
malformations
are
classified
into
three
major
groups:
genetic
causes,
environmental
causes
and
multifactorial
causes.
The
former
are
hereditary
and can
be
repeated
in the
family;
the
second
occur
sporadically,
and the
latter
are like
an
intermediate
situation
between
the two.
Perispirit,
Headquarters
of
Diseases
The
roots of
any
pathology
have
their
bases in
the
perispirit
structure.
Even if
it is
apparently
healthy,
a person
can
bring
into
their
vital
centers
the
latent
dysfunctions
acquired
in this
or other
lives
which
will
sooner
or later
come to
the
surface
in the
physical
body in
the form
of
various
more or
less
serious
syndromes,
according
to the
extent
of the
injury
and the
mental
position
of the
debtor.
We are
heirs to
our past
actions,
both
good and
bad. The
account
of
destiny,
created
by
ourselves,
is
imprinted
on the
psychosomatic
body.
These
records
flow
into the
physical
body and
culminate
in
determining
the
balance
or
imbalance
of vital
fields.
Only the
academic
recognition,
in the
future,
of the
primacy
of the
Spirit
over
matter,
associated
with the
reincarnations
principle,
i.e.,
the
integration
of
spiritual
inheritance
with
genetic
heredity,
commanded
by the
Spirit
via
perispirit,
governed
by the
Law of
Cause
and
Effect,
is what
will
allow
the true
causes
of the
imbalances
that
hatch in
the
physical
body
under
aspects
of
various
syndromes,
including
psychological
disorders,
to be
identified
in the
immortal
Spirit.
Free
will and
compulsory
law
Question
335 of The
Book of
Spiritsstates
that the
Spirit
can
choose
the kind
of life
he wants
as a
test; in
addition,
he can
also
choose
his
body,
because
the
imperfections
of the
body are
tests
that
will
help his
progress,
if he
indeed
overcomes
the
obstacles. (2) However,
the
choice
does not
always
depend
on him.
When the
Spirit
is in
deficit,
morally,
or unfit
to make
a wise
choice,
God
imposes
upon him
experiences
as an
instrument
of
atonement.
The Law
of Cause
and
Effect
regulates
our
deeds,
our
actions
and our
thoughts.
It is
through
the
plurality
of
existences
that
Spiritism
teaches
us that
the
evils
and
afflictions
suffered
by us
are
tests or
atonement,
and we
suffer
in our
present
life the
consequences
of the
faults
we
committed
in a
previous
life.
Thus,
until we
have
removed
the last
debt of
our
imperfections
with our
own
consciousness,
we will
go on
living
in the
sequence
of our
reincarnations,
life
after
life, on
Earth or
in
another
world,
in order
to reach
the
fullness
of
light.
"All our
actions
are
subject
to the
Laws of
God;
there is
not one
of our
actions,
no
matter
how
insignificant
they may
appear
to us,
that
cannot
be a
violation
of these
laws. If
we
suffer
the
consequences
of this
violation,
we
should
complain
only of
ourselves,
because
we are
the
architects
of our
happiness
or our
future
unhappiness". (3)
By the
Law of
Cause
and
Effect
which is
recorded
in one's
own
conscience,
man can
understand
the
cause of
his
sufferings
and all
the evil
that
afflicts
mankind,
and
above
all he
can know
and love
a just
and
rational
God
within,
who
gives
each
according
to his
works.
