THE SPIRITIST PHILOSOPHY, AS CONCEPTUAL SYNTHESIS OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE TAKES PART OF THE PHILOSOPHICAL TRADITION. ITS CONCEPTIONS OF GOD, SPIRIT AND MATTER, DOES NOT ENCOURAGE PRACTICES OF TRADITIONAL RELIGIONS AND CONTRADICTORY PHILOSOPHIES, OR EVEN “CREATES” NEW SCIENTIFIC CONTENTS LACKING OF INVESTIGATION. ON THE CONTRARY, IT HAS EXPANDED THE CONCEPTUAL HORIZONS OF KNOWLEDGEMENT. IT HAS EMANCIPATED HUMAN THOUGHT FROM MEANINGLESS SYSTEMS AND THEORIES, IT RENEWS HUMAN BEHAVIOUR AND WORLD VIEW. THE SPIRITIST PHILOSOPHY HAVE GUIDED US TO THE REAL SENSE OF RELIGIOSITY AND SELF RESPECT. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTS HAS EMERGED AND FOUND ITS ANWERS WITH THE SPIRITIST CONTRIBUTION, BASED ON FUNDAMENTAL AND RELIABLE PREMISES.
WITH THE SPIRITISM DOCTRINE, THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS WERE BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE, CONSCIOUSNESS AND STRENGTH – IN OTHER WORDS, THE REAL CHRISTIANITY CAME TO LIFE. TO KNOW HIM - THE MASTER OF LIGHT, HIS DOCTRINE WITHOUT MYTHICAL ASPECTS AND, AT THE SAME TIME, BRINGING HIM BACK NEARBY US IN ORDER TO LEARN HOW TO FOLLOW HIS STEPS IS THE ESSENTIAL AND MOST IMPORTANT GOAL WHEREVER WE ARE. THE MAIN GOAL OF THE SPIRITIST PHILOSOPHY IS TO DECONSTRUCT OLD CONCEPTIONS AND PARADIGMS TO BUILD NEW ONES ON NOBLE BASIS. THEREFORE, TO FOLLOW IT AS OUR GUIDE DIRECTING THE COURSE OF OUR LIVES IS THE SAME AS FINDING A SOLID PATH AS JESUS’ SOLID ROCK PARABLES.
I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO THOSE WHO GRANTED ME THE OPPORTUNITY OF IMPLEMENTING THIS PROJECT WITH ITS PHASES AND STAGES, AS THIS ONLINE STRUCTURAL COURSE. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY DEAR STUDENTS WITH WHOM WE COULD TALK, DISCUSS, INCREASE, ADD AND EXCHANGE EXPERIENCES, CREATING SOLID FRIENDSHIP AND MUTUAL RESPECT AMONG ALL.
DEAR FRIENDS, WE WISH THAT THE SPIRITIST PHILOSOPHY COULD OPEN YOUR NEW HORIZONS, THOSE FROM A NEW CIVILIZATION, THE CIVILIZATION OF THE SPIRIT, THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN RISING AS BEAUTIFUL AND LIGHT DAWN; IT IS PART OF OUR HOPES, EXPECTATIONS AND EXPERIENCES – IT IS IN YOUR CONSCIENCE: SO, LIVE IT FULL OF JOY – THIS IS OUR BEST WISHES.
