The myth of Narcissus still seems to spring from our guts


The sentence above is authored by Arleir F. Bellieny and is part of the Special “The vanities of the ego and the good man”, which we publish today. Clinical psychologist, the columnist reminds us of the evil that results from the excessive exaltation of one's own personality, which makes the person feel the center of attention. A consequence of this is the wrong decisions he makes and the surprising reactions he has to the difficulties that arise in life. The article is one of the highlights of this issue.

Another highlight is the interview given to us by Marina Gevartosky Torrezan, vice president of the Without Charity There is No Salvation Spiritist Group (Fora da Caridade Não Há Salvação), in Piracicaba (SP), where she lives. It was founded on March 25, 1906 by a group of friends, including Pedro de Camargo, better known by his pseudonym Vinicius, the institution will complete 116 years of existence in five days. Vinicius' influence on the institution is mentioned by Marina in the interview.

On a day like today (March 20th) it was born in 1833 in Currie, Scotland, Daniel Dunglas Home, one of the most remarkable psychics of physical effects in history, who, at the age of 9, moved to the United States with an aunt on whom he was financially dependent. The trajectory of the remarkable medium is remembered by Ana Moraes in a special article that is also one of the highlights of this edition.
