Theosophy, Spiritism, and Medium

Objectives:

  • To know these schools.

  • To comprehend why they do not permit us to arrive at the self-realization of the Being.

  • To see where they lead us.

  • To learn not to mix them with the knowledge.

What is Theosophy?

“Theo” means God and “Sophia,” Wisdom. The word “Theosophy” refers to the wisdom of God.

This school, founded by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, appears in Russia at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th. It had as its objective to prevent the dialectical materialism of Karl Marx and Lenin from ending all the spiritual principles of this region of the planet. Its work was to fight against skepticism. It had as its purpose to demonstrate scientifically that the soul does indeed exist.

This school dedicated itself to teaching and practicing parapsychology, the different powers of the mind, psychic phenomena, projection, hypnotism, telepathy, the materialization of specters and mysterious voices, post-mortem apparitions, the awakening of the latent faculties in all persons.

If we study this doctrine, we realize that the objective is not the self-realization of the Being, since it does not teach the Three Factors for the Revolution of the Consciousness.

Presently, the theosophical schools do not teach chastity. They recommend vegetarianism; they teach that mechanical evolution will lead us to illumination. They do not teach that there exists involution and the necessity of revolutionizing oneself to liberate oneself. As we saw, it sought to keep alive and latent the spiritual hopes so that people would not fall into the most absolute materialism.

What is Spiritism?

This doctrine, developed in the second half of the 19th century, teaches the technique for achieving communication with the soul of the dead. Through them, information is received, healings of sick persons are produced, the solution of material problems, etc.

In a spiritism session, several persons gather around a table and, taking each other by the hands, invoke in chorus the presence of a determined “spirit.”

Generally, the “spirit” is asked to manifest itself by means of the movement of things, noises, etc. Then the disincarnated one takes possession of one of the participants, who lends his physical body for its manifestation.

This person is called “medium” because he serves as the medium between the disincarnated and the physical world.

When the “spirit” takes possession of the medium’s body, it begins to speak with the voice it had in its existence. The interested ones make different questions, and the disincarnated goes on responding to them one by one.

The majority of persons who participate in these practices end up creating dependency, since they get accustomed to having answers given to them for all their concerns, both physical and spiritual.

Generally, all these persons are convinced that they have communicated with a saint or a god; none of them suspects that it is a demon, or the psyche (legion) of a disincarnated one who possesses no vehicle of physical expression.

In the different procedures of healing, they even do surgeries; and many of the cured are definitively healed, increasing their dependency on these procedures. The schools of spiritism grew in an exaggerated form in the past century and have been recruiting millions of faithful and followers.

As we can see at first glance, this procedure in no way seeks the self-realization of our Being; in no case is the elimination of psychological defects taught; nor is knowledge given of how to attain scientific chastity, etc., etc. As the master Jesus taught, “by their works you shall know them.” Let us see some works of spiritists: divinations, advice, ties, untying, prayers, rituals, reading of the Ouija, the cup game, works of black magic, rituals with candles, domination, embos, imposition of illnesses, healings, etc. — all works of black magic.

What is the Medium?

He is a passive, receptive subject, who yields his matter, his physical body, his motor center, to the metaphysical ghosts from beyond the grave.

The karma of mediumship is epilepsy. All epileptics were mediums in their previous existences.

In the post-mortem states, the medium continues converted into a possessed one of the demons. It is unquestionable that after a certain time he ends up divorcing himself from his own Divine Being.

They then enter the submerged involution of the infernal worlds.

It is very clear that before the White Lodge, in the Superior worlds, every human body is qualified (whether man or woman) as the living Temple of a master or of a divine spark. That Temple is very respected by all the hierarchies. Hence it is important to comprehend that no master of the White Lodge expresses himself through another’s vehicle (physical body).

When a master needs to come to this three-dimensional world, he first sends his person or physical body so that it may prepare itself, and later he may manifest himself through his vehicles. But he comes to his own house, not to another’s house.

The person will have to disintegrate those works, those I-s or psychic elements of mediumship.

- To comprehend why they do not permit us to arrive at the self-realization of the Being.
