EL BLOG DEL CENTRO VIRTUAL DE ESTUDIOS ESPIRITISTAS Y AFINES. Este es el órgano oficial del Centro Virtual de Estudios Espiritistas y Afines "Manuel S. Porteiro", dedicado a promover temas y tópicos de estudios en nuestro Centro, así como difundir noticias y eventos de carácter espírita extraídos de los medios de prensa reconocidos como afines a nuestra línea de pensamiento, que es la misma que sustenta la Confederación Espírita Panamericana, a la cual nos adherimos.
UNA ACLARACIÓN MUY OPORTUNA
Ponemos en el conocimiento de nuestros amables lectores que todo el material que ofrecemos como posts en este blog ha sido extraído de la obra LOS FUNDAMENTOS DEL ESPIRITISMO, previa autorización de su autor nuestro distinguido amigo Prof. Jon Aizpurua.
No nos atreveríamos a divulgar este precioso e invaluable material doctrinario y de divulgación de la cultura espírita si no tuviésemos de antemano la autorización expresa de su autor, de lo contario incurriríamos en el plagio, actitud que nos despierta repugancia tan sólo con mencionar el término.
Hemos escogido esta obra, LOS FUNDAMENTOS DEL
ESPIRITISMO, porque estamos seguros que ella constituye la exposición más actualizada de los postulados doctrinarios expresados por el Codificador Allan Kardec, enmarcados en nuevo contexto paradigamático; el vigente en estos tiempos que corren.
En LOS FUNDAMENTOS DEL ESPIRITISMO el autor reinvidica el verdadero carácter de la Doctrina Espírita, como un sistema de pensamiento laico, racionalista, e iconoclasta, alejado de todo misticismo religioso, tal como fue codificada la Doctrina por el Maestro Allan Kardec en el siglo diecinueve.
Esta obra es eminentemente didáctica, porque está escrita en un estilo ágil y ameno, sin que por ello pierda consistencia en su brillante exposición de ideas, llegando a toda clase de público lector, desde el estudioso del Espiritismo hasta aquellas personas que se encuentran en la búsqueda de una filosofía racional que les ayude a pensar al mundo y a sí mismos.

Nos adherimos a los postulados doctrinarios sustentados por la Confederación Espiritista Panamericana, que muestran a la Doctrina Espírita como un sistema de pensamiento filosófico laico, racionalista e iconoclasta. Alejado de todo misticismo religioso. Apoyamos la Carta de Puerto Rico, emanada del XIX Congreso de la CEPA en el pasado año 2008.

THE JUSTICE OF AFFLICTIONS
In the Bible, Jesus said:
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit
the Earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for
they shall be filled. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness
sake: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew, 5: 5, 6 & 10)
And he lifted up his eyes on his
disciples and said, “Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the Kingdom of God.
Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that
weep now: for ye shall laugh.” (Luke, 6: 20 & 21)
Below, translated from the French
by Janet Duncan - from Kardec’s The
Gospel according to Spiritism in Chapter 5:
“The compensation
promised by Jesus to the afflicted of this Earth can only be effected in a
future life. Without the certainty of this future these maxims would be a
contradiction; still more, they would be a decoy.”
“Even with this
certainty it is difficult to understand the convenience of suffering in order
to be happy. It is said that it is to acquire greater merit. But then we ask:
Why do some suffer more than others? Why are some born in misery and others in
opulence without having done anything to justify this situation? Why is it that
some never manage to achieve anything, while for others everything seems to
smile?”
“Yet, what is
even less understandable is why benefits and misfortunes are divided so
unequally between vice and virtue. Why do we find virtuous people suffering
side by side with the wicked who prosper? Faith in the future can console and
instill patience, but it does not explain these irregularities which appear to
contradict God's justice. However, once God's existence has been admitted one
cannot conceive Him as being less than infinitely perfect…. If He is supremely
good and just, then He cannot act capriciously, nor yet with partiality.”
“The vicissitudes
of life derive from a cause, and as God is just so then that cause must also be
just. This is what each one of us must convince ourselves of.”
“Through the
teachings of Jesus, God started Man on the path to find that cause, and now
that Man is sufficiently mature as to be able to understand, He has revealed
the cause by means of [what Kardec called the spiritual science and moral
philosophy of] Spiritism. That is to say, through the words of the Spirits.”
(NOTE: The greatest medium and most perfect soul that ever incarnated upon
this planet, Jesus, brought sublime teachings that came down to us in parables.
Now in modern times, with science and clearer spirit communications, we can try
to more fully comprehend the laws of Divine Justice; why we suffer, why
terrible things happen on the Earth and what happens to our spirit after physical
death. – Y. Limoges)
LIFE OF
JESUS AS DICTATED BY HIMSELF
Written by Yvonne Crespo Limoges
The month of
Easter I read/write about Jesus, and I noticed that the book entitled above, is
now completely translated relatively well into English by Marcos Molina Baker from
Buenos Aires, Argentina. It has 27 chapters, and only available on-line at: https://lifeofjesus.wordpress.com/
The printed Spanish
hardcopy book has been known by Spiritists for decades. A Portuguese version
was translated from that book.
Some do not give
it any credence at all. However,
many study it
because they feel it provides a reasonable sequence of events and information that
could have occurred during the time of Jesus, and, the moral teachings are very similar.
I find the English
translator’s “Foreword” to be somewhat confusing, and believe Ernesto Volpi’s
and prestigious Dr. Ovidio Rebaudi’s original translator notes about the
history of the book and how it came to be written, would provide more context
and credence to its possible authenticity.
In the book, the
spirit of Jesus communicates, via Medium X and Medium XX, about: his youth, his
family, his mission, John the Baptist, the apostles, about Mary his mother and
Mary Magdalene, what he taught the people, the miracles, his betrayal and about
his eventual crucifixion. It is not exactly Christianity’s account of Jesus.
I find the book
fascinating and one to study and ponder…
Excerpt from Chapter 9:
“The doctrine of love, based on
equality and fraternity; there’s the cause of Jesus’ prestige in the midst of
humanity. He came to bring God’s law to a world too new for this law to be
understood, but laid his work’s foundation, which would be immortal, and that
work continues to develop even today.”
- Jesus
MEDIUMSHIP - An Act of Charity
A spirit
guide speaks through its medium
Mediumship is the
precious opportunity to put into realization an act of Divine Love and one of
Supreme Charity.
Your eyes cry
needed tears for those who no longer have material ones. Your tears erase, a
little at a time, through repentance, the past wrongdoings of a spirit.
Through your
mediumship, you relate life stories that liberate those who would like to clear
their conscience and relieve themselves of rancor, remorse and unlimited
anguish.
Do not resist the
use of your mediumship faculties to those in the spirit world who would grieve
and cry. Those spirits need you and your faculties to obtain a spiritual
equilibrium that allows them the blessed opportunity for spiritual progress.
Endure with love
the sufferings, both moral and physical, which is a natural part of this
interchange based on love. You receive but simple and temporary grief, but for
the spirits, there is a chain of perpetual sorrow. So, fortify yourselves
through prayer and do not refuse them.
Your spirit
guides are always present to protect and assist you in such a delicate and
extraordinary task, having complete confidence in you and your capacity for
this sacred work.
This is my
entreaty for you to persist in the continuation of your efforts.
(Received spirit
communication printed in the Spiritist
Union magazine in Puerto Rico and translated from the Spanish by Yvonne C.
Limoges)
INCONVENIENCES
Written by Julio Sanchez
Remember:
The disadvantages
that Providence places in our path are not to destroy or annihilate our hopes,
but instead are opportunities to increase our capabilities and allow new
victories.
The
inconveniences cannot become a mist that makes us forget the rest of our lives,
because we must see the inconveniences through the light of knowledge, and not
plunge into the darkness of helplessness.
If we allow
problems to become the center of our lives, our lives will be a problem, and we
must never forget that material inconveniences are transient and temporary, and
our life is eternal and continuous.
Strengthen your faith:
That the Will of
God does not abandon your path, when you let faith accompany you.
That happiness is
achieved when we spread the wings of our spirit through difficulties.
That when we
ignore our pain to comfort the fallen, we have abandoned the burden of
selfishness, and begin to walk like spirits among men.
That when you
accumulate experiences and triumphs in the face of vicissitudes, your word
every day will accumulate a little more truth.
That when in your
way some inconvenience surprises you, God has taken the reins of your path and what
better guide than our Lord.
That in struggles
we obtain friends, in difficulties we achieve virtues and along the way we
accumulate experiences that will accompany us for eternity.
Vigilance:
Never minimize
your neighbor's problem, for even though it may seem small, you do not know what
their soul’s ability is to bear it.
That successive
triumphs, if not accompanied by humility, we may lose them in pride.
That happiness is
not just to triumph, happiness is to learn, because only knowledge is what provides
real utility to a struggle.
Problems always
come back and are part of man's ways, always be alert.
God always places
a friend by our side, never stop listening and learning.
Do not run away
from problems, otherwise you will lose opportunities for progress and find yourself
tired of running.
That the greatest
virtues require the greatest sacrifices, because they are the ones who
transport us to the destinies of our soul.
Rebellion,
suicide, defeat, misery, sadness or loneliness are not solutions, they are
problems that we add to inconveniences that we already have, and are uncertain
ways that we should never take.
Finally, even in
inconveniences, the door to peace and the light of prayer never closes, which
we can find and need to see the way to victory.
(A writing from
the Spiritist Society of Jesus of
Nazareth from Caracas, Venezuela - translated and edited by Yvonne C.
Limoges. In last month’s issue, for the article “TIME,” I apologize. I used an
incorrect first name of “Jose” for the author. The correct name is Julio Sanchez, the same author of this
article.)
ILLNESSES
Inspirationally received by Alysia Pape
It is disheartening to have a disease which
limits one in certain ways. Also, as time goes on, complications can arise in various
ways and severities, which again and again disheartens, each time a new problem
arises or one gets worse.
After a while, the soul wants to escape
from this malfunctioning shell, and no longer has the will, at times, to want
to use it at all.
There are so many terrible physical, mental
and emotional illnesses that afflict mankind on this planet. People, on the
outside may look ok, but they may be in severe pain and/or suffering. They get
up, and try to do their best each day; and, every day, there is a different
amount of affliction of what they can handle.
Remember this when you meet people you
don't know, or do know. If asked how they are, and they have the courage to
tell you, be kind and listen. For this is rare, not everyone has a person to
talk to, to share what is happening to them.
They might need some positive words at the
end of their story, some prayers, a kind gesture, reassurance that all they are
going through means something.
The Spiritists know “why.” So, tell them.
Do not let your fellow brothers and sisters fall into doubt and depression, or let
them give up.
PAIN
“If it is really
not in your hands to change a situation that causes you pain, you can always
choose the attitude with which you face that suffering.”
Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) Austrian
Neurologist,
Psychiatrist, & Holocaust
Survivor
THE
CREATOR’S LAWS
Written by Amalia Domingo Soler
(1835-1909)
Spain
I have always
believed that God is very much more elevated than our miseries and our
blunders. When they say: “God punishes his rebellious children and rewards the
just,” this appears to me that it profanes the grandeur of God. I consider God
a Soul of the Universe radiating onto the worlds, not converted into a
schoolteacher guarding over the actions of his pupils…God is just, immutable,
eternal, superior…God is just because the law of love has to be achieved, and
when the law of God is fulfilled there will be no sunset on the day of universal
happiness.
(Excerpt translated from her
book in Spanish Acts that Prove [Hechos Que Prueban] by Yvonne C.
Limoges)
A
PRAYER
God All Powerful and All Merciful, please
hear the cries and prayers of the sick, the poor, the fearful, the persecuted, those
in agony, and all who suffer in one form or another upon the Earth!
Please support us in all our adversities.
Give us the strength, courage, patience, humility and wisdom we lack during the
trials and tests of Life.
May we learn to help and love one another,
so we can eventually live in peace and save our planet!
May we have faith in Your Divine Justice which
is Perfect. May Your Will be done! AMEN

Abrir este nuevo Blog conlleva una finalidad o un propósito dual. Por una parte, como ya se ha dicho al anunciar la apertura del mismo, se complementa con la finalidad impuesta a nuestro Blog hermano CULTURA Y DIVULGACIÓN ESPÍRITAS, y por la otra parte nos proponemos crear un espacio virtual, --ya que nuestras infinitas limitaciones nos privan de contar con un espacio físico-- donde reunirnos un grupo de amigos espíritas o aquellos que aún no tienen muy claras sus convicciones filosóficas y doctrinarias espíritas, pero muestran un auténtico interés en conocer qué cosa es en realidad el Espiritismo, así como también los que sólo se interesen por los temas afines al Espiritismo; la parapsicología, la psicología transpersonal, la psicología profunda junguiana y la transcomunicación instrumental.
Para cumplimentar con ese objetivo estamos invitando a todas las personas de buena voluntad interesadas en formar parte de este Centro de Estudios Espiritistas y Afines Manuel S. Porteiro, a enviarnos un mensaje a través de nuestro correo electrónico: renedayre@gmail.com para incorporarse como un estudiante serio de los materiales de estudio que extendemos de modo COMPLETAMENTE GRATUITO a través del correo electrónico y de la suscripción directa a nuestro Blog. Nuestro Centro Espírita Virtual no reconoce jerarquías, por lo que todos seremos responsables de conducir de la mejor forma posible nuestras labores de divulgación y proselitismo. Por el momento se pueden dirigir a mi humilde persona, que fungo como una especie de creador y organizador del grupo, pero esto, no implica de manera alguna que se me reconozca como un Maestro-- de los que acostumbran llamar Ascendidos-- sino como un humilde misionero y compañero vuestro en el sublime Ideario Espírita Kardeciano. NO PEDIMOS, NI ACEPTAMOS NINGÚN TIPO DE DONACIÓN MONETARIA O DE OTRA ÍNDOLE. CON EL ESPIRITISMO NO SE LUCRA. PAZ Y ARMONÍA PROFUNDAS. Vuestro compañero en el Ideal Espírita René Dayre Abella ![]()
![]() ¿POR QUÉ UN NUEVO BLOG DE ESTUDIOS ESPIRTISTAS?
Después de haber creado mi Blog Cultura y Divulgación Espiritas, se me hizo claro que necesitaba una proyección mucho más amplia para difundir la Doctrina Espírita, según la expuso y la codificó el Maestro Allan Kardec, dentro del contexto paradigmático del positivismo compteano, tan en boga en su época, actualizándola de manera magistral dentro del paradigma científico filosófico que priva en nuestros días, por el hermano Profesor. Jon Aizpúrua. Brillante expositor quien a través de su obra FUNDAMENTOS DEL ESPIRITISMO, nos lleva de la mano de manera amena y didáctica, por el vasto océano del saber folosófico espírita.
Al mismo tiempo necesitaba compartir con todos mis benevolentes lectores, ciertos conocimientos que son privativos de otras disciplinas y esquemas científicos, como la Transcomunicación Instrumental, que vienen a avalar mediante el estudio y la investigación de la casuística de los fenómenos paranormales, como son las parafonías y las psicoimágenes, los postulados espíritas. Así mismo promover el interés por los estudios de la Psicología Transpersonal, desarrollada entre otros prestigiosos psicólogos, por Stanislav Grof y el pensamiento junguiano, que nos sirven de herramientas para explorar mediante la introspección nuestro más íntimo yo, ese huéped desconcido, como le llamó alguna vez Maurice Maeterlinck. Esta es en una apretada síntesis la razón del por qué se hizo necesario abrir un nuevo blog dedicado al tema del Espiritismo. René Dayre Abella ![]() |
