Twilight of the Gods 
 


Author: Angelo Inacio (Spirit)

Medium: Robson Pinheiro

Publisher: House of the Spirits

Number of Pages: 293

Released: September 2002


On the cover of the book is written: "A historical fiction about the coming of the inhabitants of Chapel for the Earth." Understand the word fiction, which means creating imaginative, fantastic. So, the book "Twilight of the Gods" is hardly true, because fiction is a branch of the literature for artistic creation based on imaginary elements, ie the Spirit Angelo Ignatius, author of the work, dealt with something imaginary, a creation made from your imagination. Do not force them to interpret, since in the Preface, entitled "Literature Psychic," the author reads: "So is that ownership of the elements that constitute the history of the communities of Chapel and Earth, created characters that incorporate its truths, dramas. " As if in explanation, said that the characters are fake, but that "the facts are true," is the story of the fallen gods. "

We have here a very serious matter. To Spiritism no fall of angels, or downgrading of the Spirit and fallen gods. Everything evolves, because that is the divine law, and when we use such terms cause confusion, especially about those who do not have perfect knowledge of the principles and spirit consequences.

In the chapter "Thus was born the Gods and Heroes," which opens the book, the author returns to make a spiritual statement that creates confusion, "conjured gods." Were the spirits of residents Chapel, linked to badly, and who were, by force of divine law, led to reincarnate on Earth. Spirits are with reincarnation new opportunity to discover the good and redeem the evil committed in other stocks, are not gods conspired to suffer a hostile planet, even more than the term "conjured" seems to mean something eternal, which is incompatible with the teaching spirit .

Well, we continue our analysis.

On page 28 the author speaks of a comet would collide with the planet Earth, there in the early day, having people inhabiting our world, and says: "It was irresistibly attracted by the gravity of that primitive world. The gods watched from afar, and he had to fulfill his quest, for which it was created. That was the meaning of his life. " We did not know the new nomenclature: in place of the High Spirits should write Gods. This is an affront to the spiritual doctrine, a doctrinal aberration. And so the spiritual author at all times use terms such as "messenger of the gods," sons of gods "," visit the gods. " But our concern, whether it is a fiction book?

The moral consequences of scientific and philosophical principles of Spiritualism are of fundamental importance

On pages 32 and 33 have literary pearls in flagrant contradiction with the teachings Spiritualists. The gods, sorry spirits Capelin trainers of the legion of evil visiting Earth and verify the existence of male earthlings still primitive, and discuss what to do, concluding that the best is "modified their genetic structure in accordance with our standards" . Actually, they are gods because they have the same power of God, or, if power is not the same, they have divine authority to do only what they can do and the High Spirits with the permission of God.

On pages 52 and 53, the author puts a human character to the current widespread scathing criticism Spiritist Centers, saying the Spiritist Centers miss opportunities to further research and philosophical and scientific, clinging to religion, which he understood as a deviation from purposes of the group spirit. This is not true. Every generalization is dangerous. The moral consequences of scientific and philosophical principles of Spiritualism are of fundamental importance, and before all the world events, we conclude that man is in need of the Gospel, there is a lack of Christ in their hearts.

On page 64 Ângelo Inácio, Spirit, contradicts itself. The character created by him once again criticizes the Centers Spiritualists, mediums and especially leaders, to then say "for certain visits I made to some groups who claim to be spiritualists." Then there are Spiritualists. There is much Umbanda temple, and say with all respect, that spirit is said, when it is not. There is much spiritual temple using the word spirit to qualify, and even so we find the spirit inside.

On page 68 the current capelin are organizing a tour, with spacecraft and everything else on Earth, and the conversation between the characters gives the impression that anyone who wants to go, just be a friend of charge. There seems to be organization, authority, rules. A simple journalistic curiosity is enough to stamp the passport and secure a place on the trip.

Worse is what is on page 69. Current capelin, according to literary fiction that we are analyzing, are much more evolved than us, but will use a spacecraft would be difficult because of volito in different regions that were used, thus saving mental energy. And we have another amazing thing: the trip was made without knowing what language would communicate with us. However, considering that the narrative situates the current capelin evolved as very, very spiritual, and strange sounds such statements.

In this book, throughout the narrative primitive man is a mere pawn in the hands of aliens

On page 70 reveals the spiritual author that "it was as if the gravitational force exerting influence over our spiritual bodies." However, the Spirits are in another energy dimension, the spiritual dimension, having a semi-material body, more etherised, which is the perispirit therefore the gravitational force we feel when red is not the same when disembodied, it is almost zero.

On page 72 we find a defense, truth is veiled, the instrumental transcommunication without the need of the medium, what the research shows just the opposite, and again we have a gratuitous attack on Spiritist Centers and mediums, saying that they behave with excess zeal and religious bigotry, ending by saying that "officials in the mediums have rejected many times." We did not know of the existence of official mediums, because we never saw it, and if jealousy is doctrinaire religious fanaticism, then the spirit is wrong from Allan Kardec. Really?

On page 74, more attacks on Spiritist Centers and the leaders of mediumship meetings. It seems that lately, spirits, through a new psychic literature, are investing just against the channel of communication, mediumship, which helps them connect with the reds. It is strange, at least.

The narrative on pages 78 and 79 contains a very relevant question: If the capelin, red, are more evolved, they know the spiritual reality, telepathy and normally they see the spirits, because the difficulty of research in the earthly world, and to avail themselves of human spirits?

On page 91 a wild claim, without scientific basis, that the bodies of primitive men had undergone genetic experiments of other beings on Earth that were before the capelin. Throughout the narrative primitive man is a mere pawn in the hands of aliens, as if divine laws do not regulate the development.

The rest of the fictional narrative fiction is a lot to hold a doctrinal analysis. We would have to make so many comments that this criticism would eventually turning into a book, which goes beyond our goals.

Sorry verify that the medium Robson Pinheiro, who writes on their own, because it has books of his own at the same time as psychographic, has embarked on a literary production highly questionable, in contradiction with the principles spiritualists. Moreover, mediums of literary production lush, publishing non-stop, and bringing "news" in his writings, deserve our attention because it is very easy to turn off the filter of common sense and reason. And here, in spirit, all is not careful.
