"Brother “F” by which we will designate the companion, whose message we are going to transcribe, was a great banker on Earth. He was certainly not a criminal, in the common sense of the term, but, from the spiritual content of his manifestations, he seems to have been one of those “neither cold nor hot” men of the evangelical symbol, who, bringing his mind warm to the idea of gold, during his existence in the flesh, he was dominated by it in his early days, beyond death."

“[…] Troubled and distressed, I felt the need for confession. After all, I was a Catholic who had relaxed his faith. Without anyone listening to my appeals, I asked for the presence of a priest. I advanced towards the confessional and got down on my knees, but in a few moments the confessional became for me a bench window. Startled, I raised my eyes to the altar.

But, at the precise moment when my thirsty lips touched the pure liquid, only gold, gold appeared... I recognized that I had descended to the condition of a mentally alienated person. . I remembered, then, an old friend… Cícero Pereira… Cícero was a spiritist and, for that reason, he became for me someone that I supposed, in my sad blindness, to have left in the rear of madness. The memory was enough for his voice to make itself heard. He responded to the call. He supported me. Talked to me […]

A great example that one cannot blindly take the communications of a Spirit as if they were the expression of the truth.
