Help individuals to help themselves, help humanity

by Humberto Rodrigues (February 2015)

Does Christian Rationalism offer a way of life for everybody? Is it a spiritual philosophy above all the others, with a true supremacy of knowledge, capable of offering a model of a talented organization to the attendees of the public meetings ministered at Christian Rationalism’ houses? Of course these are not exactly what this Philosophy proposes to the people who seek our houses or to the ones who study spiritualism.

Pay close attention to what happens during a public meeting: they are comprised of thoughts emanated by attendees relating their psychic difficulties. There are disembodied spirit manifestations exposing their anguish and longings, which keep them tied to the Earth’s fluidic atmosphere. All of this is received and transmitted by disciplined Mediums assisted by the Superior Forces through the formation of a fluidic current. To each statement transmitted by the Medium, there are explanations directed to the public from the person presiding the meeting at the head of the table, in order to clarify doubts.

There are many ways of life presented during the public meetings; therefore, we do not offer a unique solution to solve all human problems. Instead, Christian Rationalism recommends a pathway that leads people towards their spiritual growth so that they can plan their own lives.

Yes, that is what we said: plan your own lives. And we may ask: what does that mean? The answer is that planning your life starts with spiritual awakening. It is essential to know the spiritual truths stated by Christian Rationalism; for instance, that the spirit is an emanation of the Universal Intelligence and therefore eternal. The human being in evolution on Earth is comprised of the binomial Intelligent Principle and Matter, which are as dense as they are fluidic; that the spirit, astral body, and physical body are all subject to Evolutionary Laws that are natural and immutable. It is also important to know that the Act of Thought, being a spiritual vibration, becomes the foremost mechanism that the individual has, within their own capabilities, to expand their self-awareness.

Understanding these teachings and all that this philosophy explains, every person can obtain the happiness desired from life. Having a stable family, work that brings broad satisfaction, and trustworthy friends are all distinct possibilities through true spirituality.

To be excessively concerned with daily problems, thinking they are unsolvable, is a mistake that many commit. Not following a method of self-help but equipped with the teachings of this philosophy, each person can, however, resolve their difficulties.

Christian Rationalism does not have a life plan ready for anybody, because individuals are in different degrees of evolution and each one understands these teachings according to their spiritual advancement. One will put these teachings into practice, as he or she accepts them and develops their will power, an attribute that if well exercised, leads towards success.

What are the initiatives taken in Christian Rationalist houses to help the attendees hit by sufferings of spiritual nature? Not only they are offered the books available at hand but in a one-on-one type of assistance, they are invited to come and voice their problems and questions. The assistants offer all the necessary information, so that the attendees can act accordingly to their convictions and level of spiritual enlightenment.

The real battle is not against any person, but against our own ways of living that afflict us. There are negative thoughts and feelings to be fought against and exchanged by thoughts fortified by good deeds and feelings based in the foremost moral qualities, which will harmonize with the Whole Universe and will bring inner peace.

In fact, we can shed light on Christian Rationalism’s objective in just a few words: help individuals to help themselves, help other people, help humanity. We need each other during our evolutionary path which life on Earth present us with its challenges, moments of happiness and sadness. All of these are necessary in our steps forward toward fulfilled spirituality. Our goal, at the end of our journey, is to grasp what has real value, leaving Earth’s fluidic atmosphere and rising towards the Astral Worlds, where we belong, in order to glorify our own accomplishments.
