The principle of merit governs the dynamics of the Spirit


The above thought opens the special Five problems of the concept of merit, written by our collaborator and member of the magazine's Editorial Board, the doctor and professor Ricardo Baesso de Oliveira, from Juiz de Fora (MG). In the article he reminds us that, according to spiritist teachings, it depends only on the Spirit to hasten its progress towards perfection, which it will achieve according to its desire and submission to the will of God. The article is one of the highlights of this edition.


Another highlight is the interview given to us by doctor Eric Vinícius Ávila Pires, from Belo Horizonte (MG). Master's student in Health at the Center for Research in Spirituality and Health, at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora, he tells us about the research he is carrying out on memories of past lives, based on and resuming the investigations carried out by the late Dr. Hernani Guimarães Andrade.


On the 5th and 6th of November last, the city of Apucarana, located in the north of Paraná, hosted the 20th Spring Meeting, an event organized and carried out by the Department of Childhood and Youth of the 6th URE – Spiritist Regional Union of the Spiritist Federation of Paraná, headquartered in the same city. The event is part of the preparations for EJEN 2024, a meeting of young spiritists that takes place annually during the carnival period.
