The sister group, Grupo de Estudos Espírismo para Todos (EPT) is developing studies of a very interesting and important work, on its Youtube. Weekly, on Saturdays, they focus on the book “Ponto Final: o reencontro do Espiritismo com Allan Kardec”, a work in which Wilson Garcia goes deep and details the paths that led the current Spiritist Movement to be this religious, dogmatic movement, away from the science and averse to reason and logic.

It is necessary to add to this pandemonium the proliferation of works of spiritualist or esoteric tendencies that surround the borderline areas of spiritist thought, in whose pages, in a veiled or explicit way, the affirmation that they surpass spiritism, supposedly bearers of more current knowledge or modern.
All this semantic and conceptual chaos, from which the doctrine founded and systematized by Kardec is absolutely foreign, affects to a greater or lesser degree the march of the spiritist movement from its origins to the present day, in France and elsewhere in Europe, as well as in Brazil and in countless countries on the American continent. Just remember the insistent efforts that are made by the Kardecism hosts to demarcate and protect themselves from the influences generated by Ramatism, Ubaldista monism, Trincadismo, the Basilio cult, Emmanuelism, Umbanda and other syncretisms, and, of course, Roustainguism , denomination that receives the set of theories and beliefs gathered in the work The four Gospels […]
