1. The Role of Education in the
Construction of the New Era…

2. Carl Gustave Jung
“ A Human being never perceives anything fully or
comprehends anything completely. He can see, hear,
touch, and taste; but how far he sees, how well he
hears, what his touch tells him, and what he testes
depend upon the number and quality of his senses.
These limit his perception… By using scientific
instruments he can partly compensate for the
deficiencies of his senses [but]… no matter what
instruments he uses, at some point he reaches the
edge of certainty beyond which conscious knowledge
cannot pass.”

7. LAW OF PROGRESS

8. Law of Progress
• Nature is on a primitive State. Civilization is
incompatible with the state of nature, while
the law of nature contributes to the progress
of the human race.
• Mankind must progress continuously, and
cannot return to the state of infancy.
• Spirits are set out to progress because it’s
God’s will.
• Was the human race primitive at one point?

9. EDUCATION

10. Education
“A Spiritually Educated Child will be an adult that will
raise oneself toward future happiness”.
“In these transition years that separate us from new
Millennium Earth, it is essential to embrace, with
commitment and hard work, the task of evangelization
in the children's soul, so deficient in love and wisdom,
however, receptive and conducive to the new
teachings. And this, with the same enthusiasm and
promptness with which a farmer wakes up early to
cultivate the soil, preparing the sowing of his hopes for
abundant harvest months to come.”
Bezerra de Menezes

11. Education
Spiritist Education for Children and Youth is of utmost importance,
as the children of today will be the new humanity of tomorrow. The youth of
today will be called upon to perform tasks and meet the commitments
whose results depend on the training that they will be given from now.
Spiritism restores Jesus Christ’s thinking in a compatible manner with the
achievements of modern knowledge – it’s obvious that the preparation of
children and young minds in the light of Spiritist education is the best
program for a happy and Christian society.
As stated by the Spiritual Benefactors, higher spirits reincarnate to
hasten the "kingdom of God." Other more unfortunate spirits were trapped
in areas of shadow and pain for a few centuries, so that they didn’t disturb
the march of progress of mankind. They will also be reincarnating - as it’s
already been happening. Therefore, we should aim to help the latter to
open new paths for the Good and the Truth, aiding them to awake their
responsibilities.

12. Education
“The Spiritist Evangelization of Children and
Youth represents the progress of mankind… the
appeal of Jesus that still echoes, almost
painfully, in our souls: ― the harvest is great,
but the workers are few.”
Aureo – The Spirit

Spiritist Youth Evangelization

13. Education
Why is it that a campaign of such magnitude with so many
possibilities in the field of moral transformation of men find
so many difficulties to be held?
All human dignity proposal meets resistance in those
who delight in error, in ignorance of the truth, in self-
indulgence. Reacting against the factors that promote the
freedom, receive a violent attack from the antagonists of the
progress, brandishing the weapons of resentment and
malice in order to hinder advancement.

17. New Era
• Science and Religion = New Era
• Knowledge of God’s Laws and their relationship
with the world of Matter.
• Spiritism will become a general belief and will
mark a new era in the history of the human race,
because it belongs to the natural order of things,
and because the time has come for it to be
ranked among the branches of human
knowledge. It will nevertheless have to withstand
a good amont of violet attacks… SB Q 798

18. New Era
• Ideas are only transformed in the long run,
never suddenly.
• Spiritism’s progress will be more rapid than
that of Christianity, because it is Christianity
itself that opens the road for it furnishing its
basis and support… Spiritism has only to build
up.
SB Q 798

19. New Era
• "The Spiritist Education will be our
contribution to the New world of Tomorrow,
being at the same time our pay to the
countries that have given us their men, their
culture and their genius so we could grow
under the lights of the Southern Cross.”
J. Herculano Pires
