Spiritual capital can lead to personal ruin


Yes, it can lead to the ruin of a person, if poorly invested. The thought is of the historian Bradford Verter, quoted by Anselmo Ferreira Vasconcelos, of São Paulo (SP), in the Special titled "Building our spiritual capital", one of the highlights of this edition. In his article, Anselm reproduces Dana Zohar's definition of the term spiritual capital, which would be, according to this understanding, the wealth, power, and influence we gain from a deep sense of the meaning of life and our dedication to the service of the common good.

Hélio Tinoco Reis, from Vila Velha (ES), is our interviewee this Sunday. Speaker with a great performance throughout the country and coordinator of ESDE and EADE in the Christian Spirit Union of his city, he tells us in the interview about his trajectory before becoming a spirit and reveals the reasons that led him to join the ranks of the Spiritism, after professing for several years other denominations, such as Catholicism, the Baptist Church and one of the branches of the so-called Pentecostal churches.

Almost five thousand people attended the conference that Divaldo Franco delivered on September 11 in the city of Cascavel (PR), where, before speaking to the public, he gave an interview to TV Cultura and CGN, the news portal video, highlighting the solitude that accompanies individuals, the lack of ethical-moral values ​​and the teachings presented by Jesus. The next day, the well-known confrere spoke in Medianeira (PR), as shown in the report by Paulo Salerno, which illustrates the present edition.
