Crying for Mediumship

Benjamin de Aguiar
by the spirit Eustáquio

Dear embodied fellow:

You would really like to have the gift of hearing and seeing clearly the selfless Spiritual Guides. You miss your spiritual home in a way you can`t define and you would like, at least, to keep a close contact through extraordinary means with those who belong to your world. However, you notice your weak ability to hear them and your visual perceptions dull and limited exclusively to the physical world.

You cry, lonely, because you cannot go beyond your prayer and meditation in your painful moments. However, friendly arms hold you, offering you affection, help and assistance.

Do not despise the opportunity of being useful and acting on behalf of the good, despite your great loneliness. Remember that if you cannot directly perceive the Spiritual Guides, they exist nevertheless – just like the radio and TV waves in the air, around you, indifferent to your inability to notice their presence.

And lastly, remember that your merit is always greater when you interact with your disembodied friends only through intuition and inspiration, guided by the ideal of truly helping your neighbor. By doing that, you can count on Divine Providence, which will support your faltering steps.

What century are you in?

Benjamin Teixeira de Aguiar
by the Spirit Temístocles

In the 1600s, we said: “Oh, Earth is not the center of the universe that God created!”

In the 1700s, we spread to the four corners of the world: “Wow! God created everything from Mathematics!” In the 1800s, we shouted angrily: “It is a lie! God does not exist! It is a mere instrument of manipulation for the powerful! Only reason brings truth!”

In the 1900s, we condescended: “Religion is important as a social phenomenon that promotes peace among the masses, but let’s leave it to the ignorant. We, the educated, need to remember that God is a creation of the primitive mind.”

In the 2000s, we split up, some saying: “God exists, even the brain perceives Him/Her, the same way it perceives the material world”; others, adding to the general confusion, state: “Nonsense, it is all brain’s biochemistry!”

In the 2100s, we will unite again, postulating, in the unison common sense that will be made universal, in a great synthesis of the historical phenomenon of the evolution of ideas about God: “Religions can be retrograde, fanaticism can cause atrocities, however, God not only exists, but also utilizes the biochemistry of our neurophysiology to communicate with us.”

In what century do you want to be?

A Dream Converted into a Nightmare

(A grave warning to the ones living in physical bodies)

Benjamin Teixeira de Aguiar
by an Anonymous Spirit.

If I could say in a few words what I think is essential, I would say: don’t forget the past, don’t be a prisoner of the past, learn with the past and move towards the future, enjoying every single opportunity in the present time to build your destiny. I know this sounds crazy, but it isn’t. Instead, it’s one of the most important paradoxes we need to profoundly understand in order to widely apply it to our lives.

I was an immigrant who went to the USA seduced by the American dream. I had a sports car, a big house and a beautiful blue eyed wife, which were everything I believed I had to conquer to be happy.
