Nature lover, it is known the love that Cairbar felt for the animals. Nhonhô, the cat who was sacrificed by Cairbar after a fight, looked at him with attention when Cairbar wrote.

Cabrito, his last horse, retired by Cairbar when he bought his first car, received so much love from his owner that, minutes before dying, came up to say good bye to his protector and friend.

The dogs Rolf e Leão, two Danish ones, sat at the table and were first served by their owner. Rolf loved cooked eggs, although he was really mad about ice cream. And he also liked to ride a car when Cairbar visited the sick ones, when sitting on the backseat, looked like a lord.

Helping the poor and sick who got to Matão, Cairbar was so attentive that sometimes would take them to his house, where he built some rooms in his backyard, so that he could welcome and help them.

As for the wisdom area – or the intellectual one – there is a facet of the work by Cairbar that has been little studied by the biographers.

Obviously, everybody knows the Cairbar-journalist, founder of O Clarim and the International Magazine of Spiritism and first to talk about Spiritism on the radio; the Cairbar-speaker and a enthusiastic person; the Cairbar-writer, author of 17 books including “Parables and Teachings of Jesus”, “Life and Work of the Apostles”, “The Spirit of Christianity”, “Spiritism for Kids” and many others. The full list of the 17 books by Cairbar is found in the last Page of “Mediums and Mediumship”.

It is not much spoken, though, the deepness that Cairbar examined various topics related to mediumship and the conditions of life in the Spirit-world, something that was rare in that time, the 40s, before the Nosso Lar series. As it is known, Cairbar disincarnated in January, 1938.

The confrere Antenor de Souza, who also passed away, said that in 1944, when the first edition of the book Nosso Lar, by André Luiz, was released, many confreres of this country, like Leopold Machado, had many doubts about the aspects of the spiritual life, something absolutely unknown by that time in the Spiritist literature, though Cairbar Schutel had already studied this 12 years before.

Those are some highlights of this study.  

Mediumistic practice
 

From the book “Mediums and Mediumship”:

Influence of surroundings on spirit-manifestations – Communications with the Spirits need a lot of silence, respect, and education. The environment plays a major role for the meeting to be successful. Jesus was followed by three apostles in the Mount Tabor story. In Bethsaida (Mark, 8:22), he led the blind man out of the town before healing him. The same happened to the deaf and stutter man, who Jesus took him away from the crowd and help him alone (Mark, 7:32), and Jairus’ daughter (Matthew, 9:18). (Mediums and Mediumship, pp. 73 and 74.)
Mediumistic meetings in private – The sessions should be held in private, with a small number of attendants, because strange elements hinder the results. It is not acceptable, though, public mediumistic meetings, with open doors, with no criteria. (pp. 53 and 72.)
Obligations of mediums – First off, study, because study is indispensable for the practice of mediumship. Mediums need to have, also, persistence, patience, perseverance in the meetings and studies, to better communicate with the invisible. ( pp. 75 and 76.)
Talking to disincarnating people – It is advisable to let the communicator speak. ( p. 53.)
The place of mediumistic meetings – Sessions require an environment semi-dark or illuminated by a dim light. (p. 51.) (N.R.: See New Treasure of Youth, vol. 1, p. 167.)

Description about life in the Spirit-World
 

From the book “Life in the Spirit-World”: 

The several dimensions of the Spirit-World – There are many dimensions of life in the Spirit-World, and could not be different, because Spirits, covered by their spiritual bodies, cannot live in a place which is not according to their spiritual body, related to their moral and intellectuality. A region with no oxygen would be harmful to Spirits that still need it. The circles which surround the Earth are different according to the density of matter that is contained within. (Life in the Spirit-World, pp. 82, 83, 85 and 107.)

Similitude between our world and the Spirit-World – The first dimension of the Spirit-World is very similar to ours. We can say that our world here is a materialized copy of that dimension, which explains their building being similar to ours. (pp. 87 - 89.)

Books and scholars on this subject – More than one book talks about the existence of, houses, hospitals, temples and palaces in the Spirit-World. Conan Doyle mentions in his book “History of Spiritism” many cases, as well as Sir Oliver Lodge, Carl du Prel, Swedenborg, Winifred Mayes and Lillian Walbrook. (pp. 54, 56, 57, 78, 92, 95, 96, 97, 102 and 103.)

Food in the Spirit-World – In the messages written by Conan Doyle, besides the reference to the existence of beautiful houses and flowers, one of the communicators talks about the food where he lived, not similar to ours because it is more delicate and tasty. (pp. 95 - 97.)

Swedenborg – The Swede mentioned houses, temples, palaces. Children are welcome in the Spirit-World, baptized or not, and there they grow cared by young women, until it is time to meet their real mothers. (pp. 98 - 100.)

Work in the Spirit-World – From the book “The case of Lester Coltman”, by Lillian Walbrook, there is a message left by Coltman: “My work  is continued here as  it began on earth,  in  scientific channels, and,  in order  to  pursue  my  studies,  I  visit  frequently  a  laboratory  possessing extraordinarily  complete  facilities  for  the  carrying on  of  experiments.  I  have  a home of my  own,  delightful  in  the  extreme,  complete  with  library  filled  with books of  reference—historical, scientific, medical—and,  in fact, with  every  type of  literature. To us these books are as substantial as those used on earth are to you.  I have a music-room containing every mode of sound-expression.  I have pictures of rare beauty and furnishings of exquisite design.” Later, Lester Coltman refers to beautiful scenery he saw from his window and he also said there were great schools for children. (pp. 93 - 95.)

The destiny of man after death – This is what Cairbar wrote about it: “The grave is not the final point of existence. We are bound for greatness. There are worlds of light, where truth is dominant; worlds that will be ours one day! As progress characterizes the gradual evolution of our planet, that will be a paradise one day, this is the Law, which is equal to all worlds, preparing us to happy livings, in the Lord’s House, that is the Infinite Cosmos.

“We shall have faith and study! Ignore? Progress! From study and research come the truth which clarifies the intelligence, and, then, the spiritual evolution, that takes us to the highness, to understand the things of Spirits, things that God reserves for all who look to develop in His knowledge and His grace. May the lights of charity, that we conquer, illuminate all Science, Religion, Philosophy, so that we can, then, observe the magnificent Universe and be aware of immortality and Eternity of life.” (“Life in the Spirit-World”, by Cairbar Schutel, 5^th edition, 1978, p. 126.)
