With the doctrine of reincarnation, it is easy to understand the adversities of life


“Reincarnation versus dogmatism” is the title of the Special that illustrates this issue. In it, the physician Americo Domingos Nunes Filho, from the Spiritist Medical Association of Rio de Janeiro, makes timely observations on the doctrine of reincarnation and examines the arguments – some quite childish – of the dogmatic religious who reject it. At the end of the article, he shows us that the doctrine of reincarnation sensibly and logically explains the adversities and blows of fate, something that it is difficult to understand if we reject the plurality of existences. The Special is one of the highlights of this edition.

Another highlight is the interview that Márcia Ferraz de Carvalho Caravieri, from Angra dos Reis (RJ), gave to Orson Peter Carrara. She is graduated in Law, now retired as a public service lawyer, she participates in the activities of the Meimei Spiritist Group, in her city, in which she is a member of the Collegiate Board of Directors and director of the Doctrinal Department. In the interview, among other things, she tells us about her work in spiritist work and the benefits she has gained from spiritist knowledge.

This week, the calendar shows us the date on which Auta de Souza disincarnated, at the age of 24, on February 7, 1901 in Natal (RN). The great poet, born in Macaíba on September 12, 1876, left us a single book published – Horto –, which was enough to be considered by Luís da Câmara Cascudo "the greatest mystical poet in Brazil". And, for the joy of all of us, on the spiritual plane her work in the field of poetry continued, as evidenced by the beautiful sonnets she offered us through the mediumship of Chico Xavier.
