Allan Kardec's Spiritism has emerged as a widely embraced philosophy, captivating many individuals seeking deeper meaning. In the following stanza, Kardec introduces a powerful principle that he believes can guide anyone toward greater understanding and fulfillment, ultimately leading to the significant advancement of the human spirit. He eloquently shares what he considers an accurate and illuminating definition of Spiritism.
As can be read below
Quote
"In Spiritism, there are no dogmas, priests, cults, rituals, sacraments, obligations, and worship. Spiritism is formed by three pillars: science, philosophy, and morality, and it is firmly founded on the divine and perfect teaching of Jesus. It declares that Jesus is not God, as the gospel clearly states. But a spirit in a state of high degree came to the world to promote the spiritual development of man by teaching them love as the fundamental law."

In his teachings on Spiritism,
Allan Kardec articulates a vision of belief free from the confines of dogmas,
priests, cults, rituals, sacraments, obligations, and formal acts of worship.
However, a different narrative emerges as we delve into the rich tapestry of
practices exhibited by various Spiritists throughout the archipelago. It
becomes increasingly apparent that many of these groups engage in rituals,
observe specific doctrines, and sometimes even adhere to leadership figures
akin to priests.
This intriguing inconsistency raises essential questions about Spiritism's true essence: Can it be free of dogmas, priests, cults, rituals, sacraments, obligations, or structured forms of worship, or are these elements woven into its practice beyond the original teachings?
Regarding this matter,
Spiritism practices throughout the archipelago and potentially in other
countries are as follows.
1. The Catholic Church's foundational teachings, encapsulated in its dogma, are presented clearly and convincingly.
2. Intriguingly, signs of
cult-like influences reveal themselves through the powerful orations—often
viewed as spells—cherished by many members of the spiritist community.
3. Various significant
rituals, such as baptism and healing ceremonies.
4. The Catholic sacrament
centers around Jesus, revered and recognized as God.
5. Engaging in various
services comes with specific obligations, including associated and identification fees.
6. Most importantly, worship
of God is deeply rooted in the profound doctrine of the Trinity, guiding
believers in their devotion and spiritual journey.
7. Lastly, veneration and display
of images of Jesus, Mary, and Catholic Saints.
Is it true that
the spiritists' brotherhood we talked about is actively involved in spiritism,
reaching out to connect with the spirits of the deceased and delving into the
mysteries of the unknown? Or could their actions be a cover for their Roman
influences? It makes one wonder how this differs from the unpleasant customs of
the Gentiles, who are often noted for not following the laws of the one true
God in heaven.
Furthermore, How
accurate is Allan Kardec's claim that his teachings significantly enhanced
Spiritism by seamlessly blending scientific insights, the depth of philosophy,
and the guidance of moral principles?
Allan Kardec's Spiritism emerged from humanity's inherent knowledge, which, when clarified, aligns with principles found in human sciences, philosophy, and morality. In other words, it is not solely based on a pure form of Spiritism but instead reflects the opinions of Allan Kardec and his companions.
In this regard,
not a single member of the brotherhood mentioned above can explain in a form
that describes spirituality, which they refer to as science, philosophy, and
morality.
Because these
concepts arise purely from human understanding, they cannot be applied
effectively. Moreover, they do not resonate with the profound teachings of
great Spiritism associated with the one true God in Heaven. Primarily when
their basis relies solely on Allan Kardec's viewpoint and the insights obtained
from the mediums they recognize.
Allan Kardec asserted that spiritism has its
foundations in God and embodies the ideal teachings of Jesus.
If this is true, we must ask
why Allan Kardec's Spiritism diverges so significantly from the teachings of
Christ. For example, Christ emphatically stated the concept of "two
births" in John 3:5-7, while the Spiritism Allan endorsed dismisses this
fundamental teaching in favor of the doctrine of reincarnation.
Allan did not convey authentic Spiritualism rooted in Christ's profound Teachings; instead, he advocated for a version heavily influenced by his subjective perspective. This significant divergence raises serious questions about his integrity, making it apparent that Allan could be labeled a liar and a deceiver.
Allan Kardec
asserted that Jesus is not God, as clearly stated in the gospel.
Allan Kardec declared that
Jesus was an elevated spirit, embodying profound wisdom and compassion, who
came to our world with a vital mission. His purpose was to inspire the
spiritual advancement of humanity by imparting the timeless message that love
is the foundational law governing existence. Jesus sought to illuminate the
path toward a more harmonious and compassionate life through his teachings.
However, the recognized
teachings of spiritists throughout the archipelago and overseas conflict with
this doctrine. They adhere to the dogma of the Catholic Church, which
references Constantine's trinity.
Allan Kardec's five books are widely regarded as the foundational texts for spiritists. However, Filipino spiritists often do not acknowledge his teachings, which assert that Jesus is not God. Instead, they tend to uphold the dogma of the Catholic Church regarding the Trinity, placing more emphasis on this doctrine than on Christ's teachings.
CONCLUSION
The KARDEC teaching is based
on theoretical study, while the CHRIST teaching is grounded in actual events
(eyewitness accounts). We wish Allan had researched the teachings mentioned
earlier before presenting his theories. Then, his opinion would not have been
contrary to the actual events when the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) lived and
ruled in Jesus's wholeness with vigor and power.
Each of us has the liberty to
navigate our unique journey through life, exploring countless paths that resonate with our desires. Yet, it brings us immense joy to
illuminate a path we believe is profoundly righteous and transformative—the enlightening
teachings of Christ.
This path invites you to discover a richer sense of purpose, deeper connections, and fulfilling peace by daily embracing Truth, Light, Love, Strength, Labor, and wisdom.
Following the divine
inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we present a unique portion of Christ's
profound and transformative teaching, commonly known as the Gospel of the
Kingdom. This message offers profound insights into the nature of faith and the
path to salvation.
May all individuals be
continually graced with the overflowing blessings of the one God of heaven, who
embodies truth, light, love, strength, labor, wisdom, and life itself.
Until next time,
take care.
