THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO SPIRITISM - ALLAN KARDECI HAVE NOT COME TO DESTROY THE LAW INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE SPIRITS. THE NEW ERA 9. God is unique, and Moses was a Spirit whom He sent on a mission to make known Hispresence, not only to the Hebrews but to all the pagan world. The Hebrew peoples were God'sinstrument to enable Him to manifest through Moses and the prophets. The vicissitudes suffered bythese peoples were meant to attract their attention and so help disclose the existence of the Divinity.God's commandments as revealed through Moses contain the essence of the mostcomprehensive Christian morality. However, the biblical commentaries and annotations restricttheir meaning, because if they had been put into action in all their pureness they would not havebeen understood. Nevertheless, these ten commandments have become a brilliant frontispiece and abeacon destined to light up the pathway which humanity must follow.The morality taught by Moses was appropriate to the stale of advancement of the people heproposed to regenerate. These people, who were semi-barbaric with respect to the perfecting of thesoul, would not have understood that God could be worshipped by other means than holocaust, northat it is necessary to forgive one's enemies. From the materialistic, scientific and artistic points ofview their intelligence was remarkable. But they were morally backward and would never havebeen converted by a wholly spiritual religion. Therefore it was necessary that they be offered asemi-materialistic form of religion, as is represented in the Hebrew faith. The holocausts spoke totheir senses at the same time that the idea of God touched their Spirits.Christ was the initiator of the most pure and sublime morality. That is to say, the morality ofthe evangelical Christian, which will renew the entire world by bringing together all mankind andturning them into brothers and sisters. It will cause charity to blossom forth in all hearts as well aslove for one's neighbour, so establishing a common solidarity between all peoples. Finally, fromthis morality, which will transform the whole Earth, the planet will become the home of farsuperior Spirits than inhabit it till now. This is the law of progress which will be accomplished andto which nature is submitted. Spiritism is the lever which God is using to enable humanity toadvance.The time has come in which moral ideas must be developed to bring about the progressdetermined by God. They will follow the same route as that taken by the ideas of liberty, uspredecessor. Do not think however, that these developments will be effected without a fight. No, inorder to reach maturity these ideas will need discussion and conflicts so that they may attract theattention of the masses. Once this has been achieved, the beauty and sanctity of this morality willtouch all Spirits, who will in turn embrace a science which will give them the key to a future lifeand open the doors to eternal happiness.Moses showed humanity the way; Jesus continued this work; Spiritism will finish it. - ANISRAELITE SPIRIT (Mulhouse, 1861).1O. Once, in His undying charity, God permitted Man to see the truth pierce the darkness.That day was the advent of Christ.
