efforts they make to attain perfection.Spirits belong to different orders according to the degree of perfection they have attained: Pure Spirits, who have attained maximum perfection; Good Spirits, whose predominant desire is towards goodness; and Imperfect Spirits, characterized by their ignorance, their tendency towards evil, and by their inferior passions.The Spirits relations with Human Beings are constant and have always existed. The Good Spirits attract us towards goodness, sustain us in lifes trials, and help us bear them with courage and resignation. The Imperfect Spirits induce us towards error.Jesus is the Guide and Model for all Humankind. The Doctrine He taught and exemplified is the purest expression of Gods Law.The morality of Christ, as contained in the Gospels, is the guidence for the secure progress of all Human Beings. Its practice is the solution for all human problems and the objective to be attained by Humankind.Human Beings are given free-will to act, but they must answer for the consequences of their actions.Future life reserves for Human Beings penalties and pleasures according to the respect they do or do not show for Gods laws.Prayer is an act of adoration for God. It is found in the natural law and is the result of an innate sentiment in every Human Being, just as the idea of the existence of the Creator is innate.Prayer makes Human Beings better. Whoever prays with fervour and confidence grows stronger against evil temptations, and God sends the Good Spirits to assist them. This assistance will never be denied when requested with sincerity. o SPIRITIST PRACTICEAll Spiritist practice is gratuitous, following the orientation of the moral principle found in the Gospel: Give for free what you receive for free.Spiritism is practiced with simplicity, without any external forms of worship, within the Christian principle that God should be worshipped in spirit and in truth.Spiritism has no clergy, nor does it adopt or use at any of its meetings or during its practices the following: altars, images, candles, processions, sacraments, concession of indulgences, religious vestiments, alcoholic or hallucinogenic beverages, incense, tobacco, talismans, amulets, horoscopes, cartomancy, pyramids, crystals, or any other objects, rituals or external forms of worship.Spiritism does not impose its principles. It invites those interested in knowing it to submit its teachings to the test of reason before accepting them.Mediumship, which allows the Spirits to communicate with Human Beings, is a faculty which many individuals bring with them at birth, independent of whatever religion or beliefs they may come to adopt.Spiritist mediumship practice is solely that which is exercised based on the principles of the Spiritist Doctrine and within the Christian moral concepts.Spiritism respects all religions and doctrines; values all efforts towards the practice of goodness; works towards peace and fellowship between all nations and all peoples, regardless of race, colour, nationality, creed, cultural or social standing. It also recognizes that the truly good person is one who complies with the laws of justice, love, and charity in their highest degree of purity.
