In the book “In the Domains of Mediumship” (Nos
Dominios da Mediunidade), chapter 4, by Andre Luiz,
a psychographics by Francisco Candido Xavier, the
spiritual author presents some important issues for all
those who are committed to the effort of self-renewal
with Jesus. Among them, we can highlight, in the first
place, that we must not forget that the obsessor is not
always the disincarnate, because we know that the
influence of the Spirits on the embodied is exercised by
the attunement.
The other problem is related to the obsessive process
that begins at the very moment we allow the infiltration
of strange thoughts in our mental field, and then go
through the phase of disconnecting this interference,
reaching like this the maintenance of the new mental
attitude. For example: when we get too attached to
people we love, or to situations that give us pleasure
or even to things that stimulate our senses, we create,
for ourselves, true mental prisons. These states
undoubtedly become an excellent attraction for the
approach of entities with which we have affinity.
Once we determine this, we need help to disconnect from
this sick state, and this will only be possible as a
result of enlightenment and renewing ideas that we try
to incorporate in our new mental attitudes. Thus, there
is a disconnection from “mental outlets”, by using
liberating principles that enlighteners and exhibitors
distribute in the area of thought. If one really wants
to change the mental center that is “vampirated”, it is
infallible.
It is interesting to note that as a result of this new
attitude two situations arise in relation to the
vampirizing entities: first, they flee from the place
because they hate the healthy environment that is formed
- but this is temporary - and they are preparing for new
attacks against their “victims” who often desire to meet
them again; and second, many entities remain at the site
desiring to receive further clarification. From this
point of view, the role of other beliefs is very
important.
A very interesting example can be found in Martins
Peralva's study - Studying mediumship - in which
the author compares this process to an electric iron. He
tells us that when we need to heat an iron, we plug it
in and it heats up. To cool it down, just turn it off.
The same happens with us regarding the unbalanced
entities: we are the iron, the electric current is the
mental projections of the entity and the electrical wire
represents the magnetization, the connection of the two
vibrating fields, ours and that of the Spirit. So, to
disconnect from it, just unplug the power cord.
To just work on enlightenment is not enough. We need to
consolidate these new ideas with our daily attitudes.
Thus, it is necessary: Study + Meditation = Renewal +
Work = Release of the annoyance of the yoke of the less
enlightened entities. The absence of affinities for the
change of mental centers promotes a true "eviction from
the mental house" that happens:
1. By the enlightenment of the incarnate who will evict
the invisible guest from his mental house;
2. Through
the enlightenment of the disincarnate who will be freed
from the prison that the incarnate had been imposing on
him;
3. Through
the improvement of both.
The spoken word takes on a fundamental importance in
this process, since every word inspired by the Endless
Good brings, in its core, goals of moral elevation. For
this reason, the enlightening word of those who talk to
the Spirits or to one who is working as a spiritual
guide through spiritual assistance projects liberating
principles in the minds of the needy in both plans of
Life.
All sanctuaries in their public acts receive these needy
souls, which alerts us to the responsibility of the word
spoken with knowledge and charity. Because of this, many
obsession cures happen by simply attending to study
meetings. Everyone who is truly willing to renew is
benefited. However, we know that there are obsessions
with very deep roots that are lost so often in the
centuries of time, that require direct and specific
assistance.
An interesting aspect to be highlighted in the chapter
is the observation, with comments, that the instructor
Aulus makes, drawing the attention of Andre Luiz and
Hilario on two cases: the first concerns the
perispiritual situation of the disincarnated with the
presence of diseases that survived in the perispirit,
configuring themselves as stigmas of deliberate errors;
and the second, the possibility of changes in the
picture of suffering in the perispirit, when the
assimilation of new ideas.
The spiritual instructor reminds us that “mental
renewal is the renewal of life” and that “the tomb
reveals the images that we hide from the world under the
garments of the flesh”. He goes on to warn us that “conscience
is a nucleus of forces, around which the goods and ills
generated by it gravitate”. These warnings
inevitably refer us to the teaching that we will receive
the divine benefits according to the good or the evil
that we have done, supported that we will always be in
the circumstances that led us to deceit.
Another highlight that deserves to be made concerns the
study of two cases. The first deals with the state of
amnesia presented by a disembodied companion, the victim
of a vigorous post-hypnotic suggestion. He maintained,
although disembodied, the same disturbances brought from
Earth – while he still was embodied such as: magnetizing
to physical sensations, submission, to strange and less
worthy wills that he would have associated with – and
this demonstrated the power that other minds held over
the resources of memory. Aulus safely guides us on the
case when he states: “death is the continuation of
life and as life is eternal, we have what we seek”;
this reminded us of Jesus who invites us to reflect on
“seek and find”.
The other case is about monoideism or fixed idea: drunk,
a young man slaps his father for having been warned by
him and, in return, the father curses his gesture,
wishing that his arm would be transformed into a dry
branch. Suggested by the vibrating force of the words,
he got more intoxicated, suffered an accident and lost
his arm. In his mind, the father's words had the force
of a vindictive order and the mental fixation was
established. Disincarnated, he recovered his dry and
inert arm in the perispiritual body.
In such a case, readjustment is difficult, requiring
time and tolerance. The mind subdued by remorse fed the
curse, the work of mediums, in any similar situation,
will be of great importance, because in order to be
successful in healing, they must become instruments of
love in the service of the Father. Once again, we will
find in Jesus, the understanding for this case: “Blessed
are the meek, because they will possess the Earth”; "Blessed
are the peacemakers because they will be called children
of God"; “You heard what was said to the ancients: you
will not kill, and whoever kills will be a defendant in
the judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with
his brother without reason will be a defendant in the
judgment; and whatever he says to his brother: raca, he
will be a defendant in the council; and whatever you
say: you are crazy, you will deserve the damnation of
hell”. (Matthew,
V: 21-22)
With this teaching, the Master establishes sweetness,
moderation, affability and patience as a law, because we
need not be careful only with the content of our words,
but with the way we emit them. We are doubly responsible
for what comes out of our mouths, because it comes
impregnated with what we have in our hearts and we
cannot predict how those who hear us will receive our
words. For this reason, Jesus condemns aggressive words
for having destructive magnetic vibration.
