THE PSYCHOGRAPHY OF DIVALDO FRANCO (6)


Spirits who in life, won the Nobel Prize for Literature
 

Up to now we have commented on mediumistic messages which Divaldo automatically wrote from Spirits who in past life were ordinary people, writers (Amelia Rodrigues), and even scholars of Literature (Humberto de Campos, Brazil, and Victor Hugo, in France). Now let us deal with writers who won the Nobel Prize for Literature and, therefore, very much changes position of the situation.

As if it is not enough to automatically write several books from these different spiritual writers, in different styles, on many different themes and to a high academic level, now to automatically write a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature is something that cannot be overlooked. The more sceptical a person is, they cannot remain indifferent to this.

We will make an unassuming comparative record of the grammar and literature of the mediumistic books that were dictated by these spirits who were holders of the Nobel Prize with the books they wrote in life.

Necessary Explanation

The first thing we need to know is that it is not right to hope that mediumistic books repeat exactly, 100%, of that which the Spirit manifested in life as a writer. Do not forget that all Spirits are subject to the Law of Evolution and naturally acquire new ideas and adapt to time and space in which we live. In addition there is an adaptation of the psychic apparatus to the Spirits that manifest themselves in response to a vibrating and psychic tuning. It would be unreasonable to expect that a Spirit remains exactly the same, once decades and even centuries have passed.

We witness that we all go through changes, sometimes even in a day or from one year to another. Disrobed of matter by the phenomenon of death, the Spirits continue to evolve, improving themselves and learning. What we expect is that a paler shade of a characteristic which characterise the Spirit remains, even more predominantly when we deal with Spirits who were writers and winners of Nobel Prize for Literature, because in such cases these peculiarities of grammar and literature and their nuances are much more marked in them, corresponding very much to the evolutionary conditions as Spirit.

Spirit of the Nobel Prize for Literature
holder-Selma Lagerlöf

The story writer, poet and moralist Swedish Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940) had a remarkable intuition of child psychology and was deeply rooted in the legends and traditions of her land. First woman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1909, besides some novels she wrote many short stories, generally all on Nordic and Christians subjects.

Specifically in the area of short stories, which made her most famous, she wrote many legends such as The Tale of a Manor,    Gösta    Berling’s    Saga,    The

adventures of Nills, Jerusalem etc.  

Through the medium Divaldo Franco, Selma Lagerlöf also dictated legends, which were tales entitled The Legend of Miracles of Love and The Legend of the Safe Hide. It is interesting to highlight peculiarities which are important for this literary study:

a. Selma Lagerlöf kept in Spirit a feature that she had in life, which was writing short stories in the form of legends.

b. The tales of Selma Lagerlöf which Divaldo automatically wrote, were made up of ten or more pages, as was found with number of pages that Selma Lagerlöf’s
tales had in life.

c. The stories dictated by the Spirit of Selma Lagerlöf to Divaldo were focused on child psychology, as also occurred in his work as a writer.

d. The mediumistic tales of this Spirit relate to Christian themes, as happened several times in her works as a writer.

e. In the mediumistic work The Legend of Miracles of Love, a very important detail is that one of the characters is a troll, or goblin, which is an anthropomorphic creature of Scandinavian folklore.

The Troll is a totally unknown figure to Brazilian folklore. Ms. Solveig Nordström, who for some years was the translator of Divaldo’s lectures in Scandinavia, translated this tale into Swedish and said that the legend automatically wrote by Divaldo is completely in the style of Selma Lagerlöf. In a few lines, the Spirit externalizes its faith in the power of the goodness of love. The action takes place in an authentic Swedish landscape with typical vegetation: lime, rowan and birch. These are important details that cannot be ignored.

We appealed to the friend Cidinha Bergmann, wife of Mr. Oloff, who lives in Stockholm, in Sweden, who sought the journalist Alf Folmer, who met Selma Lagerlöff personally and, similarly, had the opportunity to hear a lecture by the medium Divaldo in Sweden few years ago and got to know the small book - that is, the legend - automatically written by Divaldo from the Spirit Selma.

An important statement about the automatic written short story

Mr. Folmer kindly made an important testimony, which must be recorded in the annals of history of mediumistic literature.
Here it is, in full:

Divaldo and Selma Lagerlöf

I myself met Selma Lagerlöf when I was a boy. She used to gather the children around herself to tell them stories. Stories of elves and human beings. The story of the elf from Åsberg, who lived in the nearest mountain and wanted to be with people, but he had a fall on the mountain. I even made a great abstract sculpture of the elf.

When Divaldo was in Stockholm on 12th June 1994, Selma Lagerlöf (Spirit) appeared to tell a new story of 'troll' (Elf). Divaldo automatically wrote it. It was Selma who led the pencil and the hand of Divaldo, and it resulted in a story of an elf that wanted to be among human beings, but was constantly shooed away. But the elf came back to play with a boy who was always sad. The boy became happy, danced and he and the elf became good friends. The boy began to be content that he danced and was happy. The elf's face now transformed into a face of a handsome young man.

The above message from Selma Lagerlöf’ resulted in Legend of Miracles of Love. This short story is entirely in the writing style of Selma Lagerlöf.

In the next articles will continue in this thematic, analysis of grammar and literature of another Spirit who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature and dictated four books (three exclusivly and one in partnership with Spirit Marco Prisco) through the medium Divaldo Franco.
