The imposition of hands and their effectiveness

 
There are people among who advocate spirit believes that, instead of the simple imposition of hands, moving them to the ministrations of so-called magnetic passes, a practice so common and widespread in spiritual institutions.

Although this theme is not the most relevant subject, something that sometimes tends to cause certain embarrassing situations. Especially when the spirit who is accustomed to a certain technique, starts going to an institution that systematically propose it different.

The divergence of understanding is the matter, however, easy to understand it.

Many people forget that the pass provided by us, the spirits, has the meaning, as the terminology adopted by Allan Kardec, the so-called mixed magnetic action, semi-spiritual or spiritual-human, which combined with the body fluid, it gives you qualities that you lack. The subject is treated by Allan Kardec in Genesis, chapter XIV, item 33.

In these circumstances, says Spiritism Encoder, the spirits contest is usually spontaneous, but it may in many cases, be caused by an appeal of the magnetizer, who among us it has been popularized under the name of spiritual healer. The medium usually prays asking for help to the spiritual guards.

We learn from The Medium’s Book, chapter 14, item 176, which is exactly those spirits who combine their forces to the medium fluidic forces directing the fluid to be poured over the patient. The spiritual healer competes merely designing his fluidic forces on the patient, leaving it to spiritual friend of the task of directing them.   

Clearly, it is quite different the magnetic action directly performed by the spirits, without embodied intermediating, which Kardec named it as spiritual magnetism. The movement of hands by the spirits is somewhat understandable, since, it is saw the specific problem of the patient, including their internal organs; they can target parts of the handled fluid. Remember this, as it is taught by The Medium’s Book, they are the spirits that drive the so-called magnetic fluid.

Another thing which also raises the difference about that, it is that there are many spirits currently embodied who have became spirit when Edgard Armond’s guidance regarding a pattern passes in our country still was very strong. 

At the OCPE – Orientation Centre and Psychic Education, a work created by two doctors, Alexandre Sech and Célio Trujilo Costa, and a remarkable teacher, Ney de Meira Albach; the first version of the studies on the pass was on the patterned pass. That orientation was changed when Herculano Pires dealt with the subject and published a small book in size but a huge book in content. It is titled “Obsession, the pass, the indoctrination.”

You would notice on early OCPE handouts the existing concern so far about physical posture and movement of arms and hands. It was considered fundamental to the effectiveness of therapy.

There are spirits and definitely it must occur among some mediums who feel a stronger influence of a spirit friend who helps during the pass and because of that influence their hands movement, following an especial intuition that few people feel it. What it explains that the fact of moving hands is not something in general and it is been common such intuition, it is recommended to adopt a simple hands imposition. Once we don’t know the specific problem of the patient, there isn’t any reason to move our hands with no direction.

In face of it, it is entirely understandable people who think differently. We are all in favor of what Herculano Pires describe in his work mentioned above, because he was so far who best explained the pass mechanics our midst. “The spiritist pass – Herculano says – is simply hands imposition which was used and taught by Jesus, as seen in the Gospels.” Its whole and entirely effectiveness is in the spiritual welfare of the medium and not the technique he uses.
