When someone has a
tendency to pessimism,
resentment and/or lack
of love, toxic energies
are immediately
activated and
substantially interfere
with the organic
metabolism. Due to this,
several evils are
caused, even though they
are opposed by defense
mechanisms, in charge of
preserving its somatic
organization. Likewise,
optimistic and
affectionate
dispositions produce
invigorating energies,
which recover the
momentary derangements
of the organs that
constitute the
physiological framework.
In fact, our body is a
laboratory of gigantic
possibilities, always
susceptible to
self-disarrangement or
self-composition,
according to the
oscillations emitted by
our mental state.
Strictly speaking, the
mind represents the
control center, which
sends the most diverse
messages to all points
of the carnal structure.
Any emotion causes
adrenaline rushes in the
bloodstream, producing
sensations equivalent to
the type of triggering
agent. Thus, encephalins
and endorphins are
secreted by the brain
under its own stimuli,
producing immediate
effects on the physical
apparatus. Positive or
negative charges produce
different enzymes,
according to the mental
order, which contribute
to the maintenance of
health or the worsening
of the disease.
In an interview with the
magazine "Isto é", in
May 2009, Jan
Garavaglia, head of the
Florida Department of
Forensic Medicine, in
the USA, states that
most deaths can be
prevented and that we
die from silly causes
that can be prevented.
For the coroner, the
body tells the story of
how someone lived, died
and how death could have
been avoided. He
recalls, "one day a
person walked up the
steps of his apartment
with some groceries in
hand, and when he
entered, he sat on the
couch and died. The
autopsy showed
long-existing changes in
his heart and kidneys
and a hemorrhage in the
brain. All caused by
high blood pressure, an
easily treatable disease
that the deceased
thought he didn't
suffer, so it wasn't
treated." (1)
Another case mentioned
by the doctor was an
autopsy on a man who was
found dead in his
backyard. In this case
Garavaglia realized how
the Western diet, low in
fiber, had devastated
the man's colon (2),
causing a very serious
inflammation that
resulted in his death.
The difficulty in
enriching the diet with
fruits and vegetables
leads us to situations
like this, in which we
expose the body to
unnecessary dangers,
according to Jan.
It is impossible to
escape death, explains
the researcher, however,
we can prevent it from
arriving prematurely
with simple actions. You
can choose to abuse
alcohol, use drugs and
drive at high speed;
however, we need to be
aware that these
behaviors can kill, just
as if we do not take
care of our weight, if
we do not do physical
activity or if we eat
poorly.
Life is a series of
choices. Added to
genetics and "luck",
they determine our
destiny. The researcher
explains, "You can
control what you eat,
the speed with which you
drive, you can choose
whether or not to abuse
drugs or drink, and so
on. Finally, making the
right decisions can give
you the opportunity to
live longer.
No medication is 100%
safe for everyone. In
the United States, 40%
of deaths occur due to
premature disease, that
is, they are
predictable. Another 40%
are due to accidents,
10% are due to suicides
and another 10% are due
to homicides." (3)
It is important to note
that not worrying about
health is a type of
indirect suicide. We
explain why: We know
that suicides exist
classified, in the
spiritual world, as
indirect (subconscious)
suicide: characteristic
of those cases of
premature death, where
the individual is
undermining his organic
reserves, due to
excesses, abuses,
addictions or even
recklessness.
In physical life, there
are many addictions that
lead creatures to
premature death, which
causes degenerative
processes and
maladjustments in the
essential centers of the
perispiritual body,
especially in those that
command the functional
structures: the brain
cortex, the endocrine
glands, the emotional
organization and of the
hematopoietic system.
(4)
With the impact of
disincarnating,
prematurely provoked,
the resources of the
psychosomatic complex
collapse, under deep
trauma, for which there
is no related term in
the human diagnosis.
The practice of risky
behaviors to health and
life itself (physical
inactivity, smoking,
improper diet, abuse of
alcoholic beverages and
driving motor vehicles
recklessly, etc.) is
responsible for a
significant acceleration
of time, anticipating
physical death.
They commit what we
might call
"unintentional suicide",
those who indulge in all
kinds of vices; gluttons
are still involuntary
suicidal, causing the
accumulation of harmful
substances to the body
(cholesterol, glucose,
lipids, etc.), giving
rise to the onset of
diseases
(arteriosclerosis,
diabetes, obesity,
etc.), with all its
sequelae, which lead to
unavoidably to early
death.
But, in view of the
proposed theme, it is
worth bringing to the
debate that the average
time of life that man
will have on Earth is
previously determined,
but this time (as we
have seen) may undergo
several changes, for
more or less. However,
let us listen to
Emmanuel: "with the
exception of suicide,
all cases of
disincarnating are
determined in advance by
the spiritual forces
that guide man's
activity on Earth."(5)
Emmanuelino thought is
in line with the basic
ideas presented by
Kardec: "fatal - in the
true sense of the word -
only the moment of
death. When that moment
arrives, one way or
another, you cannot
escape it."(6) "It is in
death that man is
subjected, in an
absolute way, to the
inexorable law of
fatality, because he
cannot escape the decree
that fixes the term of
his existence, nor the
kind of death that must
interrupt its course." (7)
We observe, from the
above, that the moment
of death and the way it
happens, is predicted by
the reincarnating Spirit
or by its guarantors
from beyond before the
immersion in the flesh.
The average life span,
the diseases that are
more likely to lead to
death and other
conditions related to
death, are previously
determined.
However, the fact that
these conditions are
previously programmed
does not mean that they
cannot be modified,
obviously. When Kardec
asked the Spirits if
man, by his will and by
his acts, could avoid an
event that should take
place, the benefactors
said that "yes,
provided, of course,
that this apparent
deviation could fit into
the general order of
life that he chose." (8)
This means that a person
can, by effort of his
own will, "delay the
moment of death, under
given conditions, can
prolong bodily existence
in order to complete
indispensable
instructions. It is a
concession that can be
made to him... as a
trial, or in the
interest of a mission to
complete the depleted
organs. They can then
receive a supplement of
vital fluid that allows
them to prolong the
material manifestation
of thought for a few
moments."(9)
In fact, premature death
can be linked to a
serious error in this
existence, or to lack of
a past existence. Like
the “indebted” souls,
who transgressed the
general Law that governs
the destinies of
creatures and returned
to the flesh, to
recompose their
conscience in the face
of the moral lapse. In
this case there are,
irrefutably, the
ex-suicides (conscious
or unconscious) who need
contact with the
materialized fluids of
the planet, to remake
the subtle
electromagnetic
structure of their
spiritual body.
We emphasize here the
following: "he who
disincarnates violently,
in circumstances beyond
his control, registers
in his perispirit marks
and impressions related
to the type of
disincarnating he
suffered and may remain
in a state of
disturbance for a long
period, depending on his
elevation moral
intellect." (10)
However, there is "the
one who is already
purified, who recognizes
himself almost
immediately [after
disincarnating], because
he detached himself from
matter during corporeal
life." (11)
We cannot forget that
there are cases of early
disincarnating that are
not part of the process
of rescuing the criminal
past and configure,
rather, meritorious
actions of missionary
spirits who are reborn
to live a few years in
contact with the flesh,
due to relevant
spiritual tasks.
This is what Andre Luiz
says: "We know great
souls who were reborn on
Earth for a very short
time, simply with the
aim of awakening dear
hearts to acquire moral
values, recovering,
immediately after the
service carried out,
their customary
presentation." (12)
The Spiritist Doctrine
brings us the proposal
of mental discipline for
the fullness of the
being. It begins at the
moment of the creature's
self-encounter, when we
identify the conscience
and wake up to the
spiritual reality that
we are, transmitting to
those who live with us,
learners that we are
all, the contribution of
our positive message,
nourishing hope,
enriching values.
In this sense, the
Spiritist Doctrine makes
a great appeal, when it
proposes to educate the
mind, direct the
instinct, curb abuse,
discipline negative
tendencies, bad
inclinations, and work,
concomitantly, for the
moral intellect
development and, in this
way, realize that we are
a creature created by
God, with a specific
purpose, which is total
happiness.
When this art of a
healthy life is known,
carried out and
practiced, man will
bring about in the world
habits of order and
foresight for himself
and his people, of
respect for everything
that is respectable,
habits that will allow
him to cross, less
painfully, and the
inevitable bad days.
This is the starting
point, the real element
of well-being, the
guarantee of everyone's
safety.
