In addition to the debut of Mercedes Cruz Reyes, our dear Merchita, from Alcázar de San Juan (Spain), as the Spanish translator of our magazine, we also have na interesting interview with the confrere Carlos Eduardo Noronha Luz, who has been studying the scientific side of Spiritism.

Technical consultant of the Brazilian Institute of Psychobiophysics (IBPP) and a researcher of transcommunication. Carlos Luz is currently living in Bauru (SP), and has worked many years with the Professor Hernani Guimarães Andrade, known for his researches in the field of Psychobiophysics and Parapsychology.

In this issue you will also see the second part of the analysis written by the confrere and Spiritist doctor Alírio de Cerqueira Filho, from Cuiabá (MT), around the three books published by Wanderley Soares de Oliveira – “Seara Bendita”, “Reforma Íntima sem Martírio” and “Lírios de Esperança”. The conclusion of this study will be published in our next issue, on 25-5-2008. The objective of this work is to help and clarify the Spiritist Movement in what Alírio de Cerqueira Filho considers “one of the most intricate processes of late trying to harm the Spiritist movement”.

Another highlight of this issue is the play Never Will Love Forget You (O Amor Jamais Te Esquece), which has been performed by Companhia Operários do Palco, in São Paulo, since february and will be presented until the end of the year.

The play is based on the novel published by IDE – Instituto de Difusão Espírita, from Araras –, written by Lúcius (Spirit), psychographed by the medium André Luiz de Andrade Ruiz, directed by Marco Nicolatto.
