We are all Mediums
Odilon Fernandes
Extraordinary words! The prophet or better to say, the mediumship which teaches, guides and supports is not given to persuading the disbelieving, but more for the edification of those who already have faith. Whoever has rational faith does not need eyes to believe! What “sign” would the spiritists wish from the Truth besides the excellence of the spiritist principles in the reasonable logic of the Doctrine? Talking about the polyglot mediumship, Paul the apostle says that such phenomena would be important for those who are incredulous but not for those who already believe. In fact, the incredulous ones sometimes need to be shocked by the “unusual”. Jesus cured a lot of people so that the doctors of the law would be confused in their prejudices. However, His main concern was with the exhortation of The Good News. The mediums do not need to give any proof, as science should search for it by itself and Mankind should learn it at the expense of its own reflections. May the mediums naturally persevere in cultivating in the mediumship field the flowers that will bloom by the wish of God. We could not say exactly whether Jesus was condemned to death because He resuscitated Lazarus or whether it was because He taught the forgiveness of offences! What touches the people’s moral aspect is more important than that which touches their feelings.
