Welcome

Welcome to this journey, friends of Kardec! What a satisfaction to see you here, dear souls, seeking the learning that is so important and from which the spiritists have strayed a long time ago….

Pay attention to the formation of this group or others. The initiative is serious and the matter is serious. The enemies of the doctrine are once again agitated, as it now returns, with all its strength, to fulfill what it set out to do, more than a century ago. Humanity screams: my God, where are the answers? Not finding the desired happiness, day after day, without obtaining satisfactory answers, they throw themselves into the hardships of unbridled materialism, sensualism, addictions and, many, unable to bear it or not having greater prospects, end up taking their own lives, to discover After all, it was of no use.

The matter, you see, is serious, and serious is the responsibility of all those who withdraw from study, out of pride and vanity, to give others the dismal aspect of opinions built on distortions and adulterations.

The time has come, my friends, to reestablish what was left behind. The time has come to multiply efforts and sow seeds everywhere. But be careful, because the enemies of good, sad individuals who have not yet managed to understand the hole they are digging for themselves to fall into, will try to establish themselves among you. Keep your guard up, therefore, and do not shy away from the responsibility of maintaining harmony in the group, approaching each person who brings disharmony or disorder.

Trust this group, The Legacy of Allan Kardec, which has the particularity of being a rare group, on this planet, formed with so much identity, so much harmony, so many serious purposes, established in the past, to work for the recovery of this forgotten Doctrine.

Be walking prayers, for your internal dispositions and for the application of the principles learned to your own lives, and you will maintain, with you, the company of good Spirits, incarnate or disembodied. Do not forget: the good Spirits, your guardian angels or protective Spirits, bless this endeavor and will be with each one of you, inspiring and intuiting you.

Union, faith, love and charity: this is the motto that each individual must carry in their chest, applied in all their understanding and in all its extension, to themselves and in contact with others.

Union: the unity guaranteed by the legitimate purposes and adequate understanding of Spiritism

Faith: reasoned faith, so forgotten by the Spiritist Movement, built from the rational understanding, without possible doubt, of the principles of the Spiritist Doctrine.

Love: love for others, as well as for yourself. It takes patience and perseverance with oneself, as well as recognition of the steps already taken, the path already taken. The same should be applied to others.

Charity: true charity is a moral duty, fulfilled without hope of reward or recognition. It's sharing, learning and teaching. This is good, happiness, and it is by removing oneself from this role that the individual throws himself into the cliffs of personalism, selfishness, pride.

General orientations

The idea is to help in the formation of a new group or more, where the participants will take care of organizing themselves in this regard. We will provide all the necessary guidance and support. We need one or more people to present themselves as initiators of the group's central nucleus, in a proactive way.
The proposal is that you create one or more groups, organizing yourselves among yourselves. We will be, together with my group, in the role of supporters and advisors.
From time to time, we may prepare special studies, with the participation of the Study Group The Legacy of Allan Kardec, or you and us.
Start by studying “Autonomy: the untold story of Spiritism” and “Mesmer: the denied science of animal magnetism”, by Paulo Henrique de Figueiredo. Alternatively, watch the videos highlighted in the topic Study materials.
We encourage you to necessarily start by studying the Revista Espírita. After studying the first two years, while continuing this study, you may see the need to create a new schedule to study The Book of Mediums. In this point, you will be much more mature for this study.
The study must be live, via video or in person. WhatsApp is a support tool.
There must be no teachers. Everyone must put themselves in the position of a student who knows nothing about Spiritism. That's how we started.
Suggestion:
- Divide the topics of the month between us, where each one will be specifically responsible for “presenting” an article.
- Everyone will have their responsibility to try to read everything.
- At the time of the meeting, the person in charge will highlight what he understood, points of interest, doubts, may ask questions to stimulate, etc. This way the group leaves the boring reading.
- Anyone who does not study beforehand will end up having the possibility of not adequately understanding the content. This is a stimulus to study.
- Studies seen as requiring special attention may also be seen in a special way, with everyone's contribution.
- Evocations and spontaneous communications, as well as texts of special importance, can be read in full, but, if studied in the proposed way, they will bring many more contributions;
Create rules. See our suggestions in the following topic, Rules suggestion.
Learn not to systematize conclusions about the articles in Revista Espírita. Kardec makes it very clear when any study is properly completed, at least for the moment. Many articles are presented as hypotheses only.
Create documents on Google Drive with the content of each study, and carry out a prior study, making notes and comments in this document. This helps to enrich learning.
Don't aim for numbers. Prefer quality. Study in small, cohesive, harmonious groups, and do not be afraid to draw the attention, with firmness and charity, of those who may disagree with the rules and harmony of the group.
Leave mediumistic novels and other works aside. Studying the contextualization works and the works of Kardec will already take years.
Do not seek practical Spiritism (mediumistic meetings) at first. If there are mediums among you, especially those with very strong mediumship, it is important to form a separate group, even more cohesive and harmonious. A lot of care will be needed. In this case, do not hesitate to seek support from us.
Above all, don't forget to keep in touch with us. We will take care of registering your initiative(s) on our website and we will be very happy to be able to exchange experiences and learnings with you.
Just avoid producing long videos for YouTube. Focus, mainly, as learning is established, on producing short videos and, mainly, texts on blogs, in a collaborative way (texts on blogs are easily found in Google searches).
As much as possible, also involve young people in this learning work, either in their own groups or by encouraging them to form new groups. Spread this purpose.

Studies of the Spiritist Magazine, in a group

PURPOSE OF THE GROUP

Our main objective is to meet Spiritism in its essence and apply this knowledge in our own lives. At the same time, however, we want to do this in a simple, clear and friendly way, so that our studies are easily understood by the public, which is why we carry out a preliminary study and the elaboration of content, so that we can extract the best from each subject.
After each study, we aim to produce articles on this site that complement and formalize the study, but also allow the inclusion of hearing impaired people. This is mainly why the studies need to be simple and, at the same time, profound as possible.
Unlike other studies on Spiritism, which start from conclusive works, we are starting from a journal that demonstrates Allan Kardec's method of exploration, reasoning and deduction, in the construction of Spiritism (here understood in the human part of this science). There is enormous gain in doing so, but we are not unaware of the issues that need be complemented with subsequent conclusions, so as not to be “lame”, as is the case with fluid theory, abandoned by Kardec in his final work, A Genesis.
The Spiritist Magazine, unlike other works, is a periodical that combines:
- subjects and “stories” of the time — which, far from being uninteresting, served to support the Doctrine, based on the daily life of spiritist facts experienced among the world population, but which, from the current point of view, is often not very relevant to our study.
- writings much denser and well elaborated by Kardec, with extreme perspicacity, that little by little, and in a very organized way, build all this science that is Spiritism — a science that is currently unknown and forgotten.
The importance of Revista Espírita is not only moral, but also practical. By studying it, we see a constant construction of knowledge, at the same time that we constantly see a deconstruction of current false concepts, as you it needs understand in the article “What is the Spiritist Magazine and how to study it?". Here is one more reason for the format of our study, because false concepts are not broken by blows.
Spiritism needs to be rescued and known in its essence, both moral and practical, so that we can resume the studies of this Doctrine, together with the Spirits. This study plays an important role in this regard.
Today we know, after all, that this science did not walk alone: far from it, it was a development of the Rational Spiritualism and a “twin sister”, as Kardec said, from Magnetism. That is why, in due course, we approach this knowledge, in a simple, practical and punctual way, since, to delve deeper into these two themes, we always recommend reading the works Autonomy: the untold story of Spiritism and Mesmer: the denied science of animal magnetism, both by Paulo Henrique de Figueiredo, among others (see our list of recommended works).

Premises

In this group, we start from the conclusion that Kardec's last two works, O Céu e o Inferno and A Gênese, were adulterated. We can indicate why we reached this conclusion, but we will not argue about it, since the facts are there for everyone to verify.
In this group, Spiritism is studied based on the works of Kardec, necessarily. This does not mean that other works and other authors cannot be treated, but this will be done as long as what is sought is the search for understanding and approximation, based on Spiritism, and not for mere confrontation.
The most basic premise of all is the study. Having randomly read The Spirits' Book or The Gospel According to Spiritism is not study. We are far from having fully understood the doctrine, but there are fundamental points that require dedication to be understood. Count on the group to indicate and suggest paths and contents of importance.

TECHNICAL RULES

Join our groups Whatsapp It's from telegram. It is through them that we will maintain direct communication with the other members. If you have both, enter both.
will not be given To nobody the right to give final words on what is not duly established in the Doctrine. However, care will be taken to ensure that, in order to comply with this rule, rules no. 4, 5 and 6.
Just as Kardec dealt with the opinions of disembodied spirits, we treat the opinions of incarnated souls, that is, what is just an opinion will be treated only as a simple opinion and we will not make systems out of it.
We must avoid that any theme that deviates from that main one or any point of discord is exhaustively approached during the study, so that there are no deviations and monopoly of words or opinions. What to do in these cases: seek to study, in Kardec, the subject in question and present, at a new opportunity, the results found. Failure to comply with this rule of good manners will be promptly stopped through the intercession of administrators.
Everyone is free to come to their own conclusions, guided by their own reason, safeguarding the objectives of the study and the doctrinal basis. For example, the theme about the existence of spiritual colonies is not properly consolidated, but the issue of reincarnation is. If what is consolidated, in the Doctrine, was not accepted by the reason of a certain person, he will certainly feel inclined to leave the studies, since they do not speak to reason. What will not be accepted will be the systematization of personal opinions in the group, as explained above.
Political and religious themes will not be addressed (this one, in the sense that it may bring any disquiet or humiliation. We remind you that Spiritism is open to people of all beliefs). Here, we paraphrase Kardec, in Spiritist Journey in 1862:

"[…] one should refrain, in meetings, from discussing particular dogmas, which would certainly offend certain consciences, while questions of morality are of all religions and all countries. Spiritism is neutral ground on which all religious opinions can meet and join hands. Now, disunity could be born of controversy. Do not forget that disunity is one of the means by which the enemies of Spiritism seek to attack it; it is for this purpose that they often induce certain groups to occupy themselves with irritating or compromising issues, under the specious pretext that one should not put light under a bushel. Do not allow yourselves to be trapped in this trap, and that the leaders of groups be firm in rejecting all suggestions of this type, if they do not want to pass as accomplices in these machinations”.

The group does not currently aim to carry out any type of “mediumistic work”, which, if it ever happens, will require the creation of private meetings and with due care to do so.
For the same reason as above, we do not see the need to be so restrictive with regard to new adhesions, that is, new adherents do not need to be versed in Spiritism, but they must, on their part, carry out the necessary basic studies, when they do not know the essence of the Spiritist Doctrine (which is not the one acquired by reading novels). For this purpose, we recommend at least reading the brochures What is Spiritism and Spiritism in its simplest expression.
Our study meetings are broadcast live on Youtube, or are recorded for later publication on this platform and others. Everyone who participates in the studies must be aware of and agree with this fundamental point.
The Group uses the website https://www.geolegadodeallankardec.com.br and various virtual platforms to promote Spiritism. Anyone who feels interested in being part of this, creating texts that can help, should contact the Group's administrators.
All digital media have other collaborators, also placed in management roles, who can take care of the continuation in the eventual absence, for a limited or indefinite period, on my part.
We will take the liberty of stopping any audio or cameras that are interfering with the meeting.
By participating in the Zoom meeting room, you are aware that your audio and/or video will be shared publicly over the Internet (more information in the registration form, below).
The official start time of studies, with the broadcast via YouTube, is 19:25.
The period allowed for the entry of participants, in the waiting room (where we will or will not approve your entry, depending on whether or not you fill in the form below) runs from 19:10 to 19:25. After that, entry permission will be at the sole discretion of the group hosts.
The meeting is expected to end at around 20:40, sometimes extending a little longer.
Before entering, make sure you are in a favorable environment for participation., both visually and sonically, in addition to being dressed appropriately.
Preferably, use a computer for participation, where it will be easier to interact through the group chat.
For organizational reasons, the Zoom meeting and its didactic content are conducted by a member, who will coordinate the participation of one and the other who wish to express themselves.
When taking the floor, be careful not to extend the subject too far into areas that deviate from the main theme. Remember: there are 11 years of Journal to cover, among accessory articles and fundamental articles, often with contents intrinsically linked between different editions, and, even more, together with complementary doctrinal contents, both by Kardec and by other authors. We don't want to run but we can't waste time.
All those who wish to actively participate, questioning or giving their opinion on the articles in question, must observe the following organization:

— Read articles related to the topic BEFORE the study meeting. This will allow you to always be on top of issues as they can be addressed in the time available and the scope of each issue. We reiterate: the Spiritist Magazine, for group studies, is not something that can be read line by line, without a previous reading, since many subjects present a formidable extension.

Suggestion:

Divide the topics of the month between us, where each one will be specifically responsible for “presenting” an article.
Everyone will have their responsibility to try to read everything.
At the time of the meeting, the person in charge will highlight what he understood, points of interest, doubts, may ask questions to stimulate, etc. This way we get out of boring reading
Studies seen as requiring special attention may also be seen in a special way, with everyone's contribution, as was the case with remorse and as could be the case, perhaps, with phrenology (RE60/jun)
Evocations and spontaneous communications, as well as texts of special importance, we believe should be read in full, but, if studied in the proposed way, they will bring many more contributions.

22. Don't get discouraged if you need to get away for a while or if you can't always be there. It happens to everyone. Continue your studies on your part and come back as soon as possible.

23. Finally, I reiterate our objective of building on dialogue. So, help us to establish this dialogue, using social networks for this too.

Fill in the following form with the data necessary for admission to the meeting. We will not accept entries from unregistered persons.
