The existence of spiritual cities is not an invention of spiritualists


The existence or not of spiritual cities is a matter that, despite the fact that so many works signed by serious authors have dealt with the subject, continues to raise discussions, often fierce, among the spiritists themselves. If Allan Kardec wrote nothing about it, say the opponents of the idea, it is that such information is not valid. The issue is examined by Paulo Neto in the article entitled “Spiritual colonies would be circumscribed places, how so?”, which is one of the highlights of this issue.

Another highlight is the interview that José Maurício de Mello Brito, who was born in Rio de Janeiro but lives in Brasília (DF), gave to our colleague Orson Peter Carrara. Graduated in Social Communication, our interviewee is a professional journalist and, in spiritist activities, participates in the activities of the Spiritist Communion of Brasília, one of the main spiritist institutions in the capital of Brazil. In the interview, he tells us about his experience and trajectory as a spiritist.

The work Spiritist Bioethics, organized by the doctor José Roberto Pereira Santos, is the new release of AME-Brasil Editora. The book approaches, with a medical-spiritist perspective, the concepts of ethics, morals and bioethics from the beginning of life to the final moments of human existence. In an interview given to journalist Giovana Campos, the organizer of the work tells us about its content and proposal. The article is one of the highlights of this issue.
