| What it is |
| It is the set of laws and principles, as revealed by the
Superior Spirits, contained in the works of Allan Kardec, which constitute the Spiritist Codification:
The Spirits’ Book, The Mediums’ Book, The Gospel According to Spiritism,
Heaven and Hell, and Genesis.
“Spiritism is a science which deals with the nature, origin and destiny of Spirits,
as well as their relationship with the corporeal world.”
Allan Kardec (Qu’est-ce que le Spiritisme? – Préambule)
“Spiritism realises what Jesus said of the promised Consoler, by bringing knowledge of
those things which allow Man to know where he came from, where he is going and why he is on Earth; so
attracting mankind towards the true principles of God’s Law and offering consolation through faith and
hope.”
Allan Kardec (The Gospel According to Spiritism – Chapter 6 – Item 4) |
