Life keeps
going on both planes; I keep
going; let's keep going too!
Leila Mansur Wermelinger
concluded her speech with
the above sentence,
interview given us, in which
she explained about the work
carried out by her husband
Adésio Alves Machado,
dedicated spiritist seafarer
who passed away on July 2,
2009. She was born in
Cantagalo (RJ), where she
lives, she is the
coordinator of the 45th CEU
- Spiritist Council for the
Unification of Cantagalo, an
organization linked to the
spiritist federation of the
state. The interview is one
of the highlights of this
edition.
Another highlight is the
special “Communications from
beyond the grave”, in which
Rogério Coelho examines the
theme of communicability of
Spirits, one of the
fundamental principles of
Spiritism and an immediate
consequence of another basic
principle, the immortality
of the soul. In the article,
among other considerations,
he demonstrates that the
alleged reasons for
condemning relationships
with spirits do not
withstand serious
examination.
Was Adam's first wife Eve or
Lilith? The question, which
is ancient, was raised by an
excerpt from Genesis,
1:27: “And God created man
in his image; in the image
of God, he created him; male
and female he created them.”
The reference to Eve only
appears later, in chapter 2
of the book. That is why,
over the centuries, various
reports mention Lilith as
having been the "first woman
in Paradise", as shown by
Ana Moraes in a special text
on the subject.
