Boa manhã, boa tarde, boa noite.
Muito obrigada por se juntar a nós,
para a série de conversas espiritistas promovida
pela Federação Espiritista dos Estados Unidos,
todas as manhãs de sábado às 11h da noite, hora oriental.
Muito obrigada a todos,
e obrigada a Yasuko Arakawa, que está aqui,
e estou muito feliz de poder lhe dar um bem-vindo,
de hostar esta conversa,
e Yasuko estarei discutindo um tópico tão ótimo,
os milagres de Jesus ou a cura psicosomática.
Deixe-me começar novamente.
Os milagres de Jesus ou a cura psicosomática.
Resiliência como ferramenta psicoterapéutica.
Antes de começarmos com a conversa de hoje, Yasuko,
gostaria de dar um momento de lembrar a todos no público hoje,
que neste mês passado, domingo, 11 de abril,
nos transformamos em dois!
Há dois anos desde que começamos a série de conversas espiritistas,
e estou muito animada de poder comemorar,
de celebrar com vocês hoje.
Também gostaria de lembrar a todos
que temos uma aula chamada Iniciação para o Espiritismo.
É um curso virtual,
e cada domingo há uma nova aula lançada para todos nós.
Esta aula, disponível online, é gratuita,
e é para aqueles que gostariam de aprender um pouco mais,
ou revisar os princípios básicos do Espiritismo,
que foi a primeira a ser publicada por Allan Kardec, em 1857.
Apenas uma resuma rápida.
Esta é uma aula baseada em si mesmo,
composta de 30 aulas e oito sessões de Q&A interativas.
As aulas, como mencionei antes,
são lançadas semanalmente, domingos, às 10h da tarde.
Por favor, tomem um momento para visitar a página do curso
na website da Federação Espiritista dos Estados Unidos.
É www.espiritist.us
E, se você registrar,
poderá receber as lembranças por e-mail.
Amanhã, domingo, 17 de abril,
a aula será sobre a reencarnação.
Que tópico ótimo, não é?
Finalmente, você já viu que cada vez que
colocamos um código QR na tela.
Se você gostou desta série de livetalks,
se você for capaz,
tome um momento para donar,
para que possamos desenvolver novas aulas.
Nós agradecemos,
agradecemos por escaneá-la,
e, por favor, note que a sua donação
ajudará a produzir publicações futuras,
assim como promover o Espiritismo para todos.
Agora, de volta para o Yasko.
Yasko, é tão bom ter você de volta conosco.
Juntos, eu e todos os que estão assistindo esta live,
gostaríamos de dar-lhe um bem-vindo.
Esperamos que esteja bem.
E é tão bom ter você aqui para discutir este tópico.
Como eu entendo, Yasko,
você visitará a Aproação para a Alimentação de Jesus,
e, assim como faz,
pode compartilhar conosco
como os psicoterapeutas
estão encontrando alguns paralelos
com a Aproação para a Alimentação
na Psicanálise Moderna.
E, também, eu acredito que você vai falar
sobre os ensinamentos,
como encontramos no Sermão do Monte,
sobre a resiliência,
a humildade,
a fé,
e como esses ensinamentos estão levantando perguntas
sobre se Jesus realizou milagres,
ou simplesmente mortes psicosomáticas.
Eu não posso esperar para ouvir de você.
E eu tenho certeza que todos aqui, também,
estão muito animados para ouvir
sobre este importante mensagem.
Antes de Yasko começar a nos iluminar
nos próximos 60 minutos ou mais,
eu gostaria de apresentá-la formalmente.
Yasko Arkava
é um pesquisador biomédico
no campo de farmacologia neurônica
da Universidade de Maryland,
Escola de Medicina em Baltimore, Maryland.
Como espiritista,
Yasko é membro da Sociedade Espiritista de Baltimore,
SSB,
e ela está envolvida
em muitas atividades diferentes lá,
incluindo educação para crianças e jovens,
programas de auxílio,
grupos de estudos,
assim como dando leituras no centro
e outros centros espiritistas
ao redor da área.
Só uma lembrança amigável,
por favor, por favor, por favor,
enviem suas perguntas
através do chat.
Yasko reservará tempo
para abordar suas comentários e perguntas
quando concluir sua apresentação.
Então, Yasko, por favor, leia.
Oi, pessoal.
Estou tão feliz de estar aqui com vocês de novo.
É uma grande, grande honra, realmente,
participar desta incrível série
de palestras de sábado
esponsoradas e organizadas
pela Federação dos Espíritos dos Estados Unidos.
Então, para isso, estou tão agradecida
à Tânia, à Josara, ao João, à Marcia,
e a toda a equipe que está atrás,
mesmo atrás das cenas,
para fazer estas vidas disponíveis
para todos os centros espiritistas,
grupos de espíritos ao redor do mundo.
É tão importante
que tenhamos uma espécie de unificação
na propagação do movimento dos espíritos
coordenada pela Federação dos Espíritos dos Estados Unidos.
Então, para isso, estou tão feliz, feliz, agradecida.
Muito obrigada.
Então, hoje escolhi este tópico,
Jesus, milagres ou cura psicosomática?
E também falo sobre resiliência
como uma ferramenta psicoterapéutica
para gerenciar nossas lutas.
Então, Jesus, no próximo slide,
você vai ver que os milagres de Jesus
foram em torno de 30 ou mais,
e eles vieram ao conhecimento
dos cristãos e não cristãos
através dos quatro evangelistas,
Matheus, Marcos,
Mark, Luke e John.
Não todos os quatro
disseram todos os milagres.
Alguns milagres foram descritos,
narrados por quatro deles,
alguns por três ou dois deles,
e às vezes apenas um dos evangelistas
narrou esses milagres.
Então, por exemplo, podemos dividir em três categorias.
A ação, as ações supernaturales,
extraordinárias de Jesus
sobre o que nós aceitamos naquele momento
como natural.
Então, foi um pouco contra a lei natural
ou as normas naturais do tempo.
Então, foi visto como extraordinário,
supernatural.
Por exemplo, sobre a natureza,
como Jesus transformou água em vinho
no casamento de Cana.
Foi, na verdade, um dos primeiros milagres
que Jesus publicou.
Então, também, ele se acalmou,
ele conseguiu controlar a tempestade
quando ele e os discípulos
foram atrapalhados em uma enorme tempestade
no lago de Genésio.
Ele acalmou as ondas,
acalmou a tempestade, a água, etc.
Também, ele podia caminhar.
Os discípulos o viram caminhar em cima da água.
Por que?
Ele deveria cair.
Também, quando ele multiplicou,
ele conseguiu multiplicar
cinco folhas de pão
para distribuí-lo a 5 mil pessoas
que estavam com fome naquela época,
por muitos dias seguindo-o.
E, também, ele apontou
um lugar no lago
onde os pescadores podiam encontrar
uma grande quantidade de peixe.
Foi chamado de grande pesca.
Então, tudo isso foi visto
como um milagre,
um poder divino,
mais do que a natureza.
O próximo grupo é sobre
o que chamamos de ressurreição
sobre a morte.
Também foi visto como muito milagroso,
como quando Lazarus,
irmão de Mary e Martha,
morreu e morreu por três dias.
Ele, na verdade,
tinha que retirar a pedra
que servia para fechar o tom
e pediu a Lazarus
para sair.
E ele saiu.
Mas ele estava morto por três dias.
Não, ele não estava morto.
Ou o filho de uma esposa
que, durante a processão de funeral,
Jesus o encontrou e a mãe chorou.
Então, ele disse que ele não estava morto.
Ou a filha, 12 anos de idade,
filha de Jairus,
que era administradora do sinagogue,
que as pessoas estavam chorando,
que ela já estava morta.
Ele disse que ela estava só dormindo.
Então, hoje nós vemos isso
como um estado catatônico,
que as pessoas, naquela época,
não poderiam identificar a verdadeira morte.
Então, ele foi considerado morto
e muitos foram mortos, até mesmo vivos.
E a resurreição miraculosa
foi a sua própria resurreição.
Meu Deus, quando ele apareceu três dias
após a crucifixão, o que vamos celebrar amanhã,
ele estava morto.
Mas nós o vimos na cruz
e agora ele vem vivo,
vivo, muitas vezes,
para muitas pessoas, em passos.
Mas a curação, o controle
dos milagres que,
se você ver a próxima série,
seu poder sobre a doença
e a ação de alguns demônios
foi realmente
atrair um grande, grande público.
Porque naquela época,
na época de Jesus,
por causa da ignorância
das causas dessa doença
e também por causa
das condições sanitárias muito pobres,
muitas dessas doenças
principalmente foram a leprosidade,
a imunidade
ou a mulher que sofreu com
sangue orgânico por 12 anos
ou o paralítico que
foi curado
ou alguns
possuídos
pelos demônios, pelos espíritos de nível baixo
como a mulher que sofreu com sangue orgânico,
ela conseguiu se levantar
direto com a demanda de Jesus
para os demônios,
para os espíritos que
são obsessivos, para sair dela
ou do garoto que estava
tendo a cirurgia epiléptica.
Então, todos esses
foram considerados
completamente
miraculosos
atos de Jesus. Então, eles disseram,
bem, Jesus ou Deus ou seu Deus
realizou essas
ações contra a lei.
Isso não foi
contra a natureza,
contra o que chamamos de normas.
Então, deve ser algo
divino
ou quando eles querem
crucificá-lo,
eles decidem classificar essas ações
como do demônio,
do mal.
Eles, naquela época, acreditavam
que o poder maligno
também poderia fazê-los
sair das ações naturais.
Mas então,
claro, nós perguntamos,
isso realmente foi uma cura
miracular
ou foi uma cura psicosomática?
Hoje,
nós sabemos que a mente,
os sentimentos,
as lutas emocionais
podem fazer algo
louco no nosso corpo físico.
Então, nós perguntamos
como a sociedade
tratou pessoas
pessoas de classe baixa
e, especialmente,
mulheres daquela época
com condições de saúde.
Eles entendiam as pessoas?
Eles aceitariam
a autoridade daquela
época
que era a regra do Império Romano,
além dos fariseus,
as autoridades religiosas
oprimindo, colocando
sua severa regra sobre
essas condições estranhas e inusuais.
Especialmente,
condições de saúde que incluíam
sangue.
O sangue era muito
algo que eles não queriam.
O sangue era considerado
sujo.
Então, sangue, múcuos,
algumas fluídas vindo do corpo
ou problemas de pele.
Aqueles que sabiam que
isso poderia ser propagado, ser contagioso
para outras pessoas.
Os fariseus responsáveis
pelo controle sanitário, eles sabiam.
Então, eles colocaram um label
religioso para dizer
que isso é contra as nossas
regras religiosas, a lei de Moisés,
ou algo do tipo,
para que as pessoas
obtevessem suas regras.
Então, vamos
lembrar desse caso dessa mulher.
O que aconteceu com essa mulher?
Se, como mulher,
não sei se passarei
para a próxima, mas como mulher,
as mulheres daquela época
não tinham, em uma sociedade
de origem masculina,
nem mesmo a sociedade civil
ou a sociedade religiosa.
Elas não tinham direitos.
Elas foram consideradas itens,
possesões do homem,
da família.
Se a mulher era
só, ela pertencia
à autoridade do pai. Ela era
um item, quase. Se ela se casou,
ela agora pertence ao marido.
Se o marido morrer,
agora uma pessoa tem responsabilidade,
uma figura masculina tem responsabilidade.
Geralmente, um irmão ou
um avô, alguém,
senão ela seria tirada da rua
ou seria uma ex-mulher na sociedade.
Então, essa mulher
imagina
que essa mulher
estava tendo esses
problemas femininos,
que é
o período,
o período menstrual, a doença.
Então, a sociedade naquela época
disse, olha,
a mulher nesse período,
nesse período, ou quando ela estava
pregnante ou enviou um bebê,
ela não
podia ser touchada por ninguém.
Ela não podia tocar
nada. E ela
também, as coisas que ela
tocava, as coisas materiais, tinham que ser
corretamente lavadas, limpadas.
Se não fosse limpa, tinha que ser
descarregada. É assim que ela foi
colocada em um
corredor, não podia sair da casa.
Então, essa mulher estava em
contínua
doente, então ela foi ostracizada
por essa sociedade.
E também,
ela disse,
ela ouviu que Jesus
estava passando por
aquela área. Não precisa
ser que ela estava só morando
naquela rua, não. Ela provavelmente
tinha que vir para aquele lugar, fazer um
esforço, e enquanto ela estava
morando lá,
o Márcio diz,
essa é a descrição do Márcio,
a descrição diz,
e uma mulher estava lá
que tinha sido sujeita a doer por 12 anos.
Ela tinha sofrido um grande
número sob o cuidado de muitos médicos,
não que ela não tivesse tentado ser curada,
então ela tentou,
todos os médicos, e tinha gastado tudo
que ela tinha, dinheiro, posse,
e ainda, em vez de ficar melhor,
ela cresceu pior. Quando ela ouviu
sobre Jesus, ela veio atrás dele,
dentro desse corredor,
embaixo, tentando ver,
e ela disse a si mesma,
se eu apenas tocar a franja
desse corredor,
eu sei que posso ser curada, posso ser curada.
Então ela fez, e ela tinha que ser
tão secretiva, por causa da lei.
Se eles achassem que ela
estava morando,
ela tocou em alguém, ela faria
aquela pessoa infeliz,
em este caso, Jesus.
Então, se ela fosse curada,
teria sido uma grande comoção,
porque ela estava contra a lei.
Então, quando Jesus,
quando a sua sangue parou, e Jesus disse
quem me tocou?
Ela estava completamente
assustada, porque ela estava
fazendo algo contra a lei.
Então, e Jesus disse,
Mestre, mas há tantas pessoas por aí.
Como você poderia dizer isso? Quem te tocou?
Todo mundo está se tocando. Não. Alguém me tocou
de uma forma diferente, por causa do futuro
e da energia vital. Saia do meu corpo.
Então ela estava
ficando tão assustada, mas ela disse,
é eu, mas minha comoção parou.
E então ele disse,
bem, sua fé
te curou. Vá em paz,
minha filha.
Então, agora eu pergunto, não sei
se o próximo,
eu pergunto o seguinte,
eu acho que é, sim,
nós perguntamos
se isso é um
psicosomático,
se foi um desordem psicosomática,
porque essa mulher estava
com tanta pressão
por tanto tempo, tão
afetada, tão com pouca
autoconfiança. Então nós
perguntamos, foi essa aceitação de Jesus
que o abençoou
uma cura terapêutica
para ela?
Então, nessa época,
e até esse século,
todos esses assuntos de mulheres, físicos,
mentais, psicológicos, foram classificados
em o que eles chamam de histeria.
Então, a histeria
foi
principalmente um assunto de mulheres,
um assunto de mulheres. Você não chama
um assunto de homens como histeria,
é tudo sobre mulheres.
E geralmente é
de, eles classificam,
é uma imbalância psicológica dessa mulher
ou alguma coisa, então foi muito negativo.
Então, a opressão
que todos sabemos, todas as pessoas,
especialmente os doentes, os pobres,
estava sob um grande problema, por causa
desses prejuízos culturais e políticos religiosos.
Mas esse termo
permanece até o século 20, e muitos
psicólogos conhecidos, Freud,
Charcot, dedicam
o estudo das mulheres daquela época
para entender a histeria
e tratar a histeria.
Eles sempre pensavam, especialmente
Freud, que tudo estava
relacionado, especialmente para
pacientes femininos,
relacionado ao desejo de sexo suprimido.
Então, porque eles não podiam
expressar a sua sexualidade
como homens,
todas essas consequências desse
problema psicológico foram consequências
dessa supressão, da opressão
que Freud pensava.
Mas depois não foi exatamente assim.
Apenas em 1968
a história foi abolida
do manual médico e
dos termos, porque foi considerada
pejorativa, prejudicada
e falácia. Não foi correto dizer
que atribuiu todos os problemas psicológicos
das mulheres para a sua
patologia uterina. Então, há
essa categoria
muito grande de diagnóstico
nesse manual estatístico
de desordens mentais
que categoriza todos esses problemas
mentais e psicológicos. E o que
esse papel disse que
poderia ser muito paralelo ao que
a histeria era, de acordo com
esse manual, era o que se chama
desordem de conversão.
É uma dessas
formas somáticas,
desordem psicosomática
e é
agora diagnosticável
como doença mental.
E olha só, pode causar
paralisia de lombos,
desordem,
dor crônica, amnésia,
alucinações de demência.
Olha, todos esses problemas físicos
Jesus curou na sua
época. Então, olha
isso. Agora, no século 20,
esse desordem de conversão
pode também identificar
todas essas doenças de Jesus'
época. E eles dizem
que a medicina do século 20, depois
de todos os testes
laboratórios, neurológicos e radiológicos,
não foi encontrada uma causa física
orgânica clara.
Você vê, até hoje não foi encontrada.
É mais comum
triggered
by the body's reaction
to psychological trauma
and stressful events.
All these psychological traumas,
stressful events, those people
the normal class, not the high priest,
they were subject to this oppression,
to this stressful situation
because of the religious and political
ruling of that time.
But, importantly, physical injury,
infection, migraine, panic attacks
might also trigger this
conversion disorder. So it can be the other
way around. Isn't it so
interesting that the
modern medicine is now
reaching out to explain
this psychosomatic, we say psychosomatic,
because the psychic
state can reflect
in the physical, which is the somatic
part. Somatic
component is the physical part.
So now I ask,
we ask, well, so we have
this scenario. Jesus,
the modern science,
medicine is kind of
how to say
accepting, explaining
in more
scientific means. But
what is Spiritism? How Spiritism
explains Jesus' miracles?
So this is 1800
after Jesus, right? So let's see.
In this book,
Genesis Miracles
Predictions According to Spiritism
Part 2
Three chapters
talk about miracles.
Miracles.
So Kardec now
he's trying to bring the
Spiritist's point of view to
explain. And in the end
he wants to prove, to make
us accept that there
is no miracles. Everything
is under the natural
laws. Either physical laws
or spiritual laws.
So in this chapter 13
he talks about the characteristics
of the miracles
and of course he starts
to define what miracle means
and he says etymologically
miracle comes from mirari
admire. That means
miracles means admirable
something extraordinary
surprising. But the
academy or the dictionary defines
as miracle as an act
of divine power
contrary to known laws
of nature.
Theologically
the church says miracle
is a derogation from the laws
of nature through which
God manifests the divine
power. So
the church
up to today
wants to
and demands to
miracle be
still accepted as a divine law
all those events
and if I decide
to ask, no I have an explanation
or like Galileo said
I have an explanation for that
event, for that phenomenon
it's not a miracle
it can be explained by law
can be reproduced
I can put in mathematical forms
I can put in observations, statistics, etc
no, the church will say
you are committing heresy
this is not, this is a divine
phenomenon
it cannot be explained by
nature, it's not natural
and for that, if you insist, no, it is
natural, it's not divine
the church would excommunicate you
and put on the
to be burned at stake
many did, many found this end
to their conviction, for that conviction
and more
up to today
to be, how to say
canonized as saints in the catholic church
first has to be catholic
there won't be a very
good person
but it has to have
performed miracles
some kind of phenomenon
healing, whatever
that could not be explained
by natural law
has some supernatural
divine power there
involved
up to today
so once the
no, no, before
once the phenomenon
can be explained
there is no miracle
also, to be a miracle
it has to be unusual, isolated
and exceptional
so if the science or in the laboratory
or the observation of the sky
we say this can be reproduced
therefore it's subject to some law
some physical law
it can be known or unknown law
it's no longer miracle
because if you can reproduce
there is a law behind this
so it's not considered miracle anymore
so in order to be a miracle
it has to be unusual, isolated, exceptional
once it's reproduced, no miracles
so the science with the development of science
the things that happen
in the material realm
because the scientists
they, fortunate, unfortunate
they don't deal
with other than the material realm
and all the tools
technology is directed
to unveil, to study
to analyze
things, material phenomena
so
And also using
our five senses
only our five senses, so we develop technology
to enhance, to amplify
my capability to see
either very tiny ones, microscopic
or macroscopic with the telescope
or the lenses
but still, it's with my eyes
or the olfactory
the smell, if I can enhance capability
to sense the presence
of few molecules, etc
so
Once they start to put
under the law because of the experimentation
of the observation of the cosmos, for instance
it's no longer a miracle
so the amount of miracles related to
material realm start to shrink
for instance, before
all the ancient people were amazed
about the lightning during storm
and they put
even the divine or evil force behind that
they worship those
today we know how it happens during the lightning
during the storm
we know that the storm is also
beneficial, it can clean the air
it can have ozone type of cleansing
because of the
high power energy
or the aerodynamics
of the aerodynamics law
that can put heavier than
objects in the air
there is a law behind
and they use that in order to
improve more and more
heavier objects and put them
under the air
or for instance
some cures also
we already know
we gonna see later
that
let me see more examples
here
so what else
aerodynamics
this train of levitation
if you go a little bit before
the levitation
when the first time the tables
started to be lifted
and they didn't know
what energy was lifting
these tables during the correct time
the levitation
today we understand
we can put above the trail
all these heavy trains
this system called
maglev or something like that
that the train
levitate a little bit above the track
so the friction is nothing
so they can reach
a speed of 500 km
per hour or something
never thought before
but there is a law, there is a magnetic
there is some chemical element
with magnetic power that when manipulated
can lift by
how to say
repulse and not touch
the trail
so all these things shrink
all these miracles in the spiritual world
but in the spiritual phenomena
this science did not tackle
so much
it was not in their radar
and because they are not in their radar
they don't want to
and they decide
that doesn't exist
or like Kardec says
is that
not only that they don't
want to study
to analyze
but by not accepting
they kind of get blind
and they start to
talk, to call other people
that come like spiritists
with the rational explanation
like something that we are
in not a good state of mind
or nothing to be
taken seriously
but things are changing
things are changing slowly
so let's see now
next slide
why
there is an item
in this chapter
that says spiritists
do not perform miracles
because we are
the spiritists are the ones
that now know and deal
most thoroughly and routinely
about the spiritual phenomena
through the mediumship
and we have
like Kardec gave us this
doctrine based on rational
analysis
experimentation to see
if it was reproducible all those
things that the spirits were answering
about the question made
to the mediums
so let's see why spiritists
does not perform miracles
we cannot accept
these things that people outside
the spiritist says oh this is a miracle
this is a divine action, divine power
no, we cannot
because we have all this
information that I'm going to list below
so we have no right
to be
ignorant
first, we are spirits, not all people accept
we are all spirits in both realms
either incarnate, transcendent or mostly
either discarnate
this is incarnate or discarnate
there is a misspelling there
so we are spirits, first of all, we accept that
we are immortal spirits
in constant evolution towards
angelitude from the very ignorant stage
to the pure angelic state
reincarnating, we accept
reincarnation multiple times
in various conditions, sex, place
planets, systems outside of earth
etc, so
prejudice among the spiritists
will blow down, I cannot say
wow, I'm against, oh wow, you woman, no
I was a woman before, or I was a man before
I was also born in Africa
I was also born in Asia
that is why
third, we have a paraspirit
a spiritual body
in both states, as a discarnate or incarnate
in various density
refinement
subtlety
according to my stage of purity
Jesus being the most
pure being lived in earth
so his paraspirit was the most ethereal
and the most powerful and capable
we're gonna see
the paraspirit serves as a body
for the spirit to express
its thoughts, desire, will, emotions
intentions, bad or good
bad or good
so it's the spirit
that has all these bad or good emotions
desires, thoughts, etc, but needs
the paraspirit to express this
and to pass to the
physical body if it's
incarnated, is in incarnate state
and serve, the paraspirit also serves
as the link to the physical body
during incarnation
and act upon matter
so the spirit, either discarnate or incarnate
can manipulate
act upon the matter through
the paraspirit, more evolved
more capable
the spirit will be to
manipulate what we later we're gonna call
the universal cosmic fluid
Jesus was the utmost
powerful being
could manipulate and he made even
the planet earth
so why not other things that are much smaller
we are
spirits in infinite degree of evolution
and accordingly
infinite states and subtleties
of spirits and physical body
for the world that we are in
so we had also a very rough
physical body before
we are refining the physical body too
not only the spirit, the paraspirit
the spirit has evolved, it changes
the spirit and the physical body
we can communicate with
discarnate spirits, look at that
and with the particular ones
if we have the merit
well, we were also informed
with lots of books
even Kardec, but beyond
the Kardec Andre Louis series about the spiritual world
the houses, hospitals, schools
the discourse that is there
and we can participate
and go there and experience
this world, the spiritual world
during emancipation
we accept that we can detach, emancipate
from the physical body during sleep
during dreams, in awakened state
during trance
we accept also, number 8
we have a vital magnetic energy
that we can use during passes
prayers, we understand
how passes and prayers work
because we are made of vital
magnetic energy, all beings
with the aid, of course, of the high spirit
to achieve
the mental and physical healings
but this is also how we
are prepared to connect with the high spirit
to exchange these vital fluids
9, we understand
about the second site that was considered
miraculous
Euripides Bartholomew
that emancipated from, left his
body in the class and went
to rescue, to deliver a baby
far away
St. Anthony of Padua also
and for that he was canonized
that he was in Italy, then he went
to Portugal to save his father
in a trial
so Jesus, of course, was the most
powerful person that could do
whatever he wants, be corporate
second site, manipulate all the matter
number 10, the apparition
materialization is not miraculous anymore
we understand about the ectoplasm
is a vital energy
like the blood
is made from the
physical body, donated
by the physical body and then manipulated by the spirit
either
different class of spirits
perform healing
apparition etc
and we understand by the same ectoplasm
levitation, moving tables
so nothing anymore is miraculous
it's all like Kardec says
natural phenomena
next
so next
we talk about fluids
that is very important because fluids now
is what
is manipulated
and be a source
of healing
so universal fluid is a primitive element
we all know of both corporeal and the spirit
which are merely transformations
so everything that is in the material
and the spirit
is made by universal fluid
which is the primitive element
so
How the healing
is performed, occurs
according to spirit
by the very nature of this fluid
condensed in the paraspirit
it can supply
reparatory elements to the body
reparatory elements of the body
the driving healing agent
is the incarnate or discarnate spirit
I can do my own healing
if I concentrate
and make some exercise
so the driving healing agent
is the incarnate or discarnate spirit
that injects a portion of the substance
of its fluid
into a deteriorating body
so it is a flow
of the healthy to an unhealthy one
the healthy molecule
substituting the unhealthy molecule
the healthy cell
substituting the unhealthy molecule
well today we know
all stem cells
stem cell therapy is based on this
the transplant of the medulla
also the bone marrow
is to replace
the healthy ones to the unhealthy ones
but I can
in a very more routine way
with certain exercise
boost my own stem cells
and heal myself
today still we have to
implant, to inject
some embryonic stem cells
which is not well accepted
but anyway we can learn to boost
those stem cells and heal
with my own cell replacing
the unhealthy by the healthy one
the purity of power is thus
the direct result of the purity of the
substance injected
so it's not all good
it can be more or less
because of my state of mind
or the healer mind
Jesus has the most
pure powerful substance
it also depends
the energy of the will
so who is doing the things
the one that is distracted we call
weak healer or very strong healer
and also depends on the intention
of who wants to be healed
if the person stays sitting there but doesn't care
it's not going to be healed
like Jesus said your faith
healed you go and no sin anymore
so depends on my
moral transformation after
that healing session
the fluids
that emanate from impure source
are like adulterated medical
medicinal substance
the same way we have not good
medical drugs
those source of energy
also can be poor quality
so finally depends on patient's desire
to be healed
this is all explainable now
we all see that
something that before people outside
the spiritist can see as miraculous
not any longer
we spiritist know and know how to improve
the results
it's all here it's all in the heart
ok so next
so in this chapter 14
there's many things that Kardec
Kardec also goes
through many many many
miracles
but one thing that caught my attention
was to consider
he talks a lot about the superiority
of Jesus nature
we have to accept we gonna reach his state
but Jesus was special
so he says
he says that superiority of Jesus was not linked
to his body but to his spirit
to his spirit
that was quintessential
very pure
so that's why he was able to heal
thoroughly
and also foreseeing the second side
he could warn or something
foreseeing that something else was gonna happen
in future
so this is the quality of the
we said already
the quality of the fluid
endowed him with immense magnetic power
second by his
incessant desire to do good
so we have to reach to
Jesus state
next
next I see
now let's see what medicine
just for curiosity what the mainstream
medicine is today
we know a lot of chemicals
neurochemicals
we have this happy chemicals
serotonin
dopamine, oxytocin
endorphin, all good ones
make us happy
diminish our pain
oxytocin is the nurturing
loving, when we are in the loving state
happy, content with ourselves
oxytocin is
when I am in a state of compassion
oxytocin is high
that's how that woman of 12 years of bleeding
she got the cure
because she got all these good
chemicals and we know
oxytocin in the uterus makes the
contraction because it's
a chemical that is present
during delivery to contract the uterus
then to expel the fetus
so of course by contracting the uterus
the bleeding stops
so we can even explain by physical means
also by psychological state
that improved so much
that she was healed
but also we have a bed to the right
bad, stressful, neurochemical
depends on our state of mind
cortisol, adrenaline
that is triggered by fatigue
chronic stress, it's a very bad one
that we have to get rid of
we know a lot about mental illness
the neurochemical background of this mental illness
how to treat, that's how we have so many drugs
for treating anxiety, depression
schizophrenia, etc
but
there is something important, placebo effect
this is known for a long time
that if we believe
we are taking a powerful medicine
even taking a sugar pill
we can be cured
30% or more of the cases
showed placebo effect
the patient was not receiving
the drug that she or he believed
was received, it was just a sugar pill
so what is behind the placebo effect
was this mental
state that changed
that now is healing my physical
psychosomatic illness
and also a very important
development is what is called
epigenetics
we are no longer subject to the genetic
slavery
I was born, my father, my grandfather
my grandparents had this, so I'm going to have
not necessary
because depends on my
state, here is psychological
state, social interaction
food
the quality of diet
exercise, microbiome
quality
all this behavior
contentment
this is
change
the environment around the cells
and that defect
that defect, that tendency
genetic tendency is not expressed
because now geneticists know
not all what is in the DNA is expressed
it depends on these factors
there is a potential probability
but not a necessary condition
so lifestyle medicine is getting to be
very important in the future
it is starting slowly today
ok so
so you see that we are walking
slowly, the medical
the mainstream is slowly
but is still pretty much
treating the effect, not the cause
the cause which can be in the spirit
in the paraspirit
no, they don't want to see this whole being
it is still difficult for them
to accept
medical school is having slowly
teaching alternative medicine
complementary medicine
lifestyle medicine
but they are far far far from
treating the spiritual part
background of all beings
because they don't accept what we accept
what spiritism says
once they accept
this research we are going to boost
and all the spiritual phenomenon
that they consider a miracle
it is not a miracle anymore
it is like what is happening to electricity
so I decided to talk about
resilience as a psychotherapeutic tool
because I noticed
that many of these
teachings, especially in the sermon
of the mountains
talk a lot about humility
but it is not that humility that you stay passive
resignation that you have passive
there is waiting for
now, resilience
what resilience means
is the capability to be able to bounce
back
so you press
but I am able to stand up
it is like this bamboo
trunk
that you know the wind comes
it goes with the wind
but it comes after the strong pass
it comes back to the straight position
it doesn't break
so it is the capability to bounce back
when we have been bent
and stretched out of shape
and so many times we have been
when the storms of life, trials, challenges
comes at work
or in a relationship
instead of wallowing and letting things keep us down
we get back up
and continue on with our lives
productive
American Psychological Association says
resilience is a process of adapting well
in the face of adversity
trauma, tragedy
threats
stress
that is how Jesus taught
Jesus taught, look you bounce back
you will succeed
go and not sin anymore
see other routes
so did
Peter
Simon Peter
wow, it was a low stage
when he denied Jesus three times
and Jesus looked at him with this understanding look
didn't I tell you
that you would deny me
so the first moment he wept
he was so upset with himself
but what he did
he bounced back and became
the Simon Peter
to direct all those younger disciples
the followers of Jesus
so did Paul of Tarsus
he was
he killed, he assassinated Stephen
he stayed there crying forever
no, he bounced back
he did his great job
without him we won't have Christianity
in the western society
today we have Nelson Mandela
resilience during apartheid fight
Stephen Hawking
overcoming or trying to control
or deal with his
disease
Viktor Frankl
during the holocaust
we have many of this
so what is resilience
next slide
we see that there are many domains
of resilience I thought was interesting
physical, emotional, mental, spiritual
just look at that
physical flexibility
endurance, strength, mental
mental flexibility
attention span, ability to focus
incorporate multiple points of view
we have to practice this
in order to build up resilience
we just build this kind of
trait or properties
of our mental
part
emotion, emotional
be emotional flexible
positive outlook
self management
don't give up on ourselves
spiritual flexibility
commitment to values
change, inner transformation
tolerance of others values and beliefs
accepting, Jesus did all the time this
he enticed everyone to do so
don't be so harsh
Matthew, Levi, why are you condemning
next
so we know
if you pass through other things
we can pass on
the positive attitude
we have to have positive attitude
that's what resilience
positive attitude
the positive person acknowledges the reality
it's not illusionary
but it looks to the good
of life
good part, optimism
resilient people continue to hope
that things will get better
not always expecting the worst
there are many people that expect always the worst
ability to manage emotions
resilience involves capability to take
ownership of your feelings
and control them
yourself, ourselves, not others
don't blame other people, circumstances, etc
take hold of your
situation
see failures as helpful feedback
this is good
what can I do better next time
what can I learn from this
it's what Jesus taught us all
ok, next
I think we have to wrap up
ok, so this book
very quickly, it's called Resilient
Your Invitation to a Jesus-Shaped Life
this is also a DVD series
I listened to them, this guy was passing through
a very bad familial problem
let's see what Jesus can help me
and he decided to read every day
for one month, the Sermon on the Mount
to see if he could extract something to help
then that went to two months
three months
so he advised us to do the same
he said you will find there
the healing, the way to get out
from your problem
your resilience is up boosted
and so here I put
at least the four beatitudes
what Jesus did
he said blessed are the poor in spirit
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
not the few that are poor
in appearance, no
those that are humble
resilient
willing to stand up
those that mourn
they have sensibility because of mourning
but I will be comforted
the meek, not the one that is very proud
I'm the best, no, the meek will inherit the earth
the planet of regeneration
is not a place for those that are
very obnoxious, petulant
no, not anymore, for the meek
those that hunger for thirst
for righteousness, justice
we are
the ones that are going to be blessed
because we see the injustice
that hurts us
and we want to change that
first in ourselves
change our view of judging people
not to be so harsh
so that's what I wanted
I don't know if I have more
I don't think so
you can pass
just to show that
today's therapy is reaching
we can discuss during the
questioning that the modern therapy
is getting to Jesus' methodology
slowly
saying that what he taught 2000 years ago
we find out is the way to treat our patients
thank you
I think this is such a rich
information
we could go on and on
I'm sorry it was a little long
it's ok, no need to be sorry
I think we have a few minutes of questions
just before we close today
let me see if we can have anyone
Hi Violet, thank you
for putting the question below
Yasko, how can we acquire
the state of mind of the women with faith?
Yes, it takes time
we first start
we don't believe that
I may not deserve it
we start first to jeopardize
sabotage ourselves
that's the first inclination
but we'll reach one time
that we are permeable to some kind of
inspiration from above
because the faith is there
we just have to be boosted
and let it appear
so this woman, we ask why didn't she do
in the first year
why 12 years, why so many
there was a time that she said
enough is enough
I did what was in my
power
I went to this doctor
I heard
and someone whispered, there's a guy there
he can help you, he can be another person
go to that spirit center
then you went to Chico, then you went to Divaldo
right? Suddenly that faith
that courage, that mix of courage
comes, I'm going to take actions
unusual before
seen as impossible
we take this unusual action
and she decided to do that
and we're going to see
many people doing this
they have to get out from the same
behavior, change it
there how, but it needs to build up
it needs to build up
and faster we go if we
accumulate knowledge and experience
in the correct way, not in a negative way
that would put our
potential or chance to build up
the faith much lower, no, we have to do
the correct way, look for the correct situation
I agree with you
Violet, I hope that your question was answered
I think it was in your last slide
the idea of what's the patient
how to best get to that point to be able to be healed
let's see if we have one final question
from Violet again
Violet is asking a second question
how can prayer
specifically be used as a psychotherapeutic tool
great question, thank you
yes, very great question Violet
as you said, because we have
remained with this vital
magnetic fluid, all beings
in different stages
more or less, more powerful
or less powerful, but we all have this
magnetic vital fluid
that we can exchange
depends on our mind
the purity
the truthfulness of our intention
when we are praying
now let's say, do I have a merit
no, we all have the merit
just we have to trust
I have, but also I am humble
I am humble to say
look, God
look mentors, look whoever
I need your help
I am here
prepared to accept
but please help me in this situation
help my kid, help my baby
please
I am here
to ask you
and willing to accept and to do whatever is necessary
it's this
willingness to change that I think
makes our prayer a psychotherapeutic
tool, because many of our
conditions at least is
worsened by our
psychological state, the mentors
otherwise the heike or the pasties
or the alternative
medicine won't have an effect
but we know we have an effect
and explanation how we boost
our vital fluid
yes, thank you, thank you Yasuko
so we have some comments here
thanks for sharing this interesting study
of how physical problems
routinely healed by Jesus can now be identified
as those triggered by one's reaction to psychological trauma
so I myself could say
Yasuko, very, very good
connections that you brought to us today
and I hope everyone who is on the live talk today
can also see that
that things are all
somatized by our own psychological trauma
therefore healing is part of the
psychotherapeutic tool
I can't speak today, sorry
I was so amazed when I read about this conversion
disorder
how powerful is our mind
our trauma, psychological trauma
to cause a really
severe physical impairment
limitation, paralysis
well we know this, suddenly the person
lost someone and now
he cannot walk anymore
we hear about this
suddenly the person starts to go downhill
and eventually die
and the kid
has another brother
born and suddenly doesn't want to walk anymore
because he sees that the attention is going to the baby
yes, and I would say
Yasuko, the other component of it is I'm thinking
as I hear your words and the words from this comment
is that we
especially now, after two plus years of a pandemic
right
we are all very vulnerable to some
psychological trauma, so on one hand
we are vulnerable and it's good to recognize that
on the other hand it's important to recognize
that faith
right, faith
and understanding our connections
with the divine can heal us
it is in us
once you accept
and want to bounce back
we try to
boost our faith but also in an active way
you know, trying to find
different alternatives
that is what is being resilient
that's what made the difference between
Simon Peter that bounced back
and became the hat
versus Judas
Judas also betrayed, quote unquote, like Peter
felt Jesus, betrayed Jesus
but what happened to Judas?
He was not resilient, he committed suicide
there is very good
here, this is really important for us
look at that, it was the same situation
and he was in his state
as a spirit
look at that
isn't it?
Everyone who is here
listening to this talk, I want to say thank you for being here
thank you Yasko
we have come to the end of our talk today
and I appreciate your questions
your comments, right
and I just wanted to let everybody know
that next Saturday, April 30th
at 11am Eastern
don't miss our next live talk
with Ana Moreno
I'm sorry, I thought I had a different one
so Ana, I think this is
yes, I'm sorry, I had the 30th
so Ana Moreno, my apologies everyone
Ana Moreno will be talking about searching
for the meaning of life
and I'm really excited to be able to hear from her
on such an important topic

Thank you, Marcia
So, let's all together
concentrate our mind
our heart
to the above
to the high spirituality
to God
our Father
to Jesus Christ
our brother
model, guardian model
all our mentors
guardian angels
to first be so grateful to all of them
especially to God
that out of his mercy
allowed us so many
opportunities
in different incarnations
to redo
what we did badly before
to develop
or amplify our virtues
still so weak
patience, tolerance
vanity
pride, selfishness
please God, please mentor
help us
to be more vigilant
in our
relationship with others
with our family members
neighbors
and to ourselves
to be
more kind to ourselves
not to be so harsh
please help us
to get the best direction
especially in moments
the crossroad
to take the best decision
for us to be aware
of your presence
in all times
we also ask you to
help and protect this planet
especially in places where
we have all this conflict
among brothers
the disease
the bad sanitary conditions
like in Africa
for us to be aware
to put our heart, our mind
to work for them
for all the ones
that have the authority
over people
to be kind, to be compassionate
to be generous
thank you so much for
this incarnation
the experience we have with the spiritism
the learning
the primitive, the original teachings of Jesus
and also
to put in a more rational way
thank you so much
for all the opportunities given to us
thank you and so be it
thank you
thank you everyone, have a wonderful weekend
have a blessed Easter Sunday tomorrow
