To

To study and know the basic
principles of the Spiritist teachings;
·
To research and continuously educate yourself about everything that is
pertinent to Spiritism, as it is an ongoing field of study;

To meditate upon the teachings received and their moral consequences, by assessing

To apply the acquired knowledge, striving for your own moral improvement, and
contributing to the progress of others and the place where you are.
“The true Spiritist can be recognized by
their moral transformation
and by the efforts they employ in order to overcome
their bad instincts.”

If it seems weak to you, it is because you have not been
exercising it.
Each and every moral or organic function needs practice to
be able to respond rapidly to mental commands.
Train it by attempting to correct bad habits and you will
eventually be meeting bigger challenges.
Through a disciplined will you will be able to attain the
highest objectives of your current life.
Don’t give up if at first you do not succeed.”
Joanna de Angelis –

The book's objective is the
moral teachings of Jesus. It is a divine code; it constitutes
a universal moral code, regardless of the belief.
For mankind, in particular, it’s
a rule of conduct that encompasses all the circumstances of private and public
life; the basic principle of all social relations that are based on the most
rigorous justice. This work is for use by everyone.
From it, humankind can draw all the means of complying with the morality of
Christ. The instructions offered by the
Spirits are truly the voices that come from Heaven to enlighten men and invite them
to the practice of the Christian moral. "Accept
this challenge and receive it as a reward for all your effort and dedication towards
moral and spiritual evolution ..." It is not enough to call
yourself ‘spiritist’. Those who are in their hearts, prove it by their actions."
Allan Kardec, “The Spiritist Magazine 1867”
