Letter to the reader

Year 14 - 666 – April 19, 2020

Example for us spirits, José Virgílio Góes speaks to the magazine


José Virgílio Góes, is from Santa Catarina by birth and from Paraná by heart, is our interviewee. He has been spirit for 80 years, it was in Florianópolis, his hometown, that he started, as a child, his journey in the spirit activities, first as an evangelist and then as an evangelizer. An officer of the Brazilian Army, he lived, depending on his position, in different locations, such as in the state of Amazonas, where he chaired the local Spirit Federation. He is settled in Curitiba for many years, he is currently effective advisor to the Spirit Federation of Paraná and advisor to the entity's presidency. The interview given to us is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the special The transformation of the soul, by our collaborator Guaraci de Lima Silveira, from Juiz de Fora (MG). In the article, he tells us that there will be a time when human beings will reach a level within evolution that nothing will be an impediment to their progress. He will then walk on a floor of stars, learning and participating in Creation no longer as a crawling being that begs for crumbs, but as an airy being who floats.

The third highlight is a special article signed by Angélica Reis, which focuses on the 13 years of existence of the magazine The Comforter (O Consolador) and the 7 years of EVOC´s foundation, the virtual publisher maintained by the magazine, whose birth anniversary, in both cases, is celebrated on April 18th. As we know, the launch of this magazine took place on April 18, 2007, when The Spirits' Book, by Allan Kardec, has celebrated 150 years old.
