Spiritism Quotes

"The farther man advances in the study of the mysteries around him, the greater should be his admiration of the power and wisdom of the Creator. But, partly through pride, partly through weakness, his intellect itself often renders him the sport of illusion. He heaps systems upon systems; and every day shows him how many errors he has mistaken for truths, how many truths he has repelled as errors. Ail this should be a lesson for his pride."

"To assure ourselves of the existence of God, we have only to look abroad on the works of creation. The universe exists, therefore it has a cause. To doubt the existence of God is to doubt that every effect has a cause, and to assume that something can have been made by nothing."

"From a religious point of view, Spiritism is based on the fundamental truths of every religion: God, the soul, immortality, future punishments and rewards. It is, however, independent of any particular cult. Its goal is to prove to those who negate soul’s existence that the soul survives after the body, that it suffers after death the consequences of the good or evil practiced during its corporeal life. Now then, this is common to any religion."

"Listen to the voices of the suffering who have came to say: ”We suffer because we did not recognize God’s power and doubt his infinite mercy. We suffer because of our pride, our selfishness, greed and all bad passions which we had not restrained. We suffer for all evil we did to our fellow beings through the lack of charity."

"In a moral sense, Spiritism is essentially Christian since it merely teaches the development and application of Christ’s doctrines, which are the purest of all and whose superiority no one contests. This proves that such doctrine is God’s law and that it is for everyone."

"By being independent of any cult, Spiritism prescribes none of them. It preoccupies itself with no particular dogmas nor is it a religion since it has neither priests, pastors nor temples. It answers those who ask if it is of any good to follow such or such practice: If your conscience asks you to do it, do it and God always takes into account the intention. In essence: Spiritism imposes itself on no one, it is not intended for those who have a faith or whose faith is sufficient, but rather it is for the immense majority of unbelievers and insecure. Spiritism does not take these unbelievers and insecure out of the Church, as they are morally apart from it already. It makes them walk three fourths of the way; it is up to the Church to make them walk the rest."

"‘The greater attention to Christ’s life as compared to His death, and the new spiritual influx which is giving us psychic religion, it is only on the latter that one can quote the authority of the beyond. Here, however, the case is really understated. In regard to the Old Testament I have never seen the matter treated in a spiritual communication. The nature of Christ, however, and His teaching, have been expounded a score of times with some variation of detail, but in the main as reproduced here. Spirits have their individuality of view, and some carry over strong earthly prepossessions which they do not easily shed; but reading many authentic spirit communications one finds that the idea of redemption is hardly ever spoken of, while that of example and influence is forever insisted upon. In them Christ is the highest spirit known, the Son of God, as we all are, but nearer to God, and therefore in a more particular sense His Son.’"

"God consoles the humble and gives strength to the afflicted when they ask. His might covers the Earth and in every place, with each tear shed, He places a consoling remedy. Abnegation and resignation are a continuous prayer and contain profound teaching. Human wisdom resides in these two words."

"All the apparent drawbacks in your life act on your behalf, for they are ways of helping your spiritual progress. So, no matter how hard your path may be, be sure that God is in control of everything, and that the divine order will see you through."

"There is a divine order in everything. You may not be aware of it but it is present in everything, revealing its divine origin. It is also in your body, in your mind, and in your soul, both fostering your life and controlling it. If you are able to attune to the vibration which emanates from God, there will be harmony in your life, and in everything you do and in your relationship."

"Be sure that you are not alone, but immersed in the stream of a superior order. You will get over your sorrows and anxiety and grief, because the divine breath which vitalizes everything is both within you and in everything that concerns you. Do not offer resistance to this all-embracing energy. If you cooperate with the order of Divine Laws, they will cooperate with you, and peace will prevail, and your life will be a blessing."

"God needs you. He is within you, and you ignore Him. He manifests His presence in your life in a thousand ways, but you still ignore Him. He nourishes you with hope;
His irradiating love sustains you, and shows itself within your body, your mind, and your emotions. He is present in the air you breathe. His Light, radiating from the sun, vitalizes your energies. His presence envelops you, and shows itself through you. You must try to reach Him consciously, changing, and dignifying your moral and intellectual behavior, so that you can share the benefits of this higher communion."

"From God you receive the inspiration which leads to spiritual growth, enhances your actions, and harmonizes your existence. Your thoughts, words, and actions must reveal the presence of God in you, for, you are immersed in the Ocean of His omniscience. Growing with God, you unfold and gain the boundless spaces of immortal life. Thus, God needs you so that you may reflect His light. On seeing Him though you all people must feel Him, and love Him too. They will wish to strive to reflect Him in themselves also. And by so doing, all may reach the fullness which one day shall fulfill every life."

"God is the supreme intelligence, the first cause of all the things. God is eternal, infinite, unique, immaterial, all-powerful, sovereignly just and good. He has to be infinite in all his perfections since, if we could suppose imperfectness of even one of his attributes, he would not be God."

"God created matter which constitutes the worlds. He also created intelligent beings called spirits which are in charge of these worlds according to the creation’s immutable laws. Such laws are perfect by nature. By improving themselves the spirits approach God."
