In the first few chapters of Blinded by Vision, you may think to
yourself, "What an unlucky girl " And you may also think that she
had endured enough to last more than one lifetime. By the end, you
may feel as if you have just read a sci-fi thriller--and yet it is
the truth. Author Tracy Williams shares a range of feelings--humor,
love, fear, tragedy, drama, and sorrow--but most of all, hope.
Tracy and Nancy have known each other for twenty years. Nancy
started out as a customer, and now they are great friends. Who
could be better to help write Tracy's story? The point of Blinded
by Vision is to demonstrate that psychics actually do have very
different life experiences from that of the average person. Enjoy
the journey.
'The Spirits Book' (1857), written by Allan Kardec, is widely
regarded as the most important piece of writing in the 'Spiritist'
canon. It is the first in a series of five books that Kardec wrote
that are collectively known as the 'Spiritist Codification'.
Although the other four books; 'The Medium's Book', 'The Gospel
According to Spiritism', 'Heaven and Hell' and 'The Genesis
According to Spiritism' are of great importance to the Spiritist
movement it is 'The Spirits Book' that lays out the doctrine of the
belief system. The Spiritist movement was founded by Allen Kardec
and although its roots lay in Spiritualism there are differences in
belief. The most important of these differences is the Spiritist
belief in reincarnation. Although some Spiritualists believe in
reincarnation and some do not, all Spiritists consider it as a
basic truth of their ideology. In the 1850's, whilst investigating
the afterlife, Kardec communicated in seances with a collection of
spirits named 'The Spirit of Truth' who discussed many important
topics such as life after death, good and evil, the universe and
the origin of spirits, amongst others. 'The Spirit of Truth'
counted many of history's great thinkers amongst its number such as
Thomas of Aquino, Voltaire and Augustine of Hippo. Over time and
after several sessions with the group Kardec had gathered enough
information to convince him of life after death and he was
compelled to spread the teachings of 'The Spirit of Truth'. He
'codified' their comments and listed them as answers to questions
and this is the content of 'The Spirits Book'. The subjects that
Kardec discusses, via 'The Spirit of Truth', laid down the
foundations for the Spiritist philosophy and all of the concepts
that would become, and still are, key to the movement's thinking
have their genesis in the book. The belief that there is one
Supreme Being, God, who created everything in the universe, is
postulated. According to the text the Devil does not exist and
Jesus is a messenger of God. Although the book does not refer to
Jesus as the son of God and no mention is made of the 'immaculate
conception' he is considered God's perfect messenger and his
teachings are to be adhered to. Reincarnation and the survival of
the soul after death are vital beliefs and it is stated that it is
through reincarnation that lessons are learnt that can be taken
into the next life and that every life moves the soul closer to
perfection. According to the book man is made up of three separate
elements; the body, the spirit and the spiritual body. One's spirit
also predates the matter of the universe and will outlast it. After
the publication of 'The Spirits Book' Kardec's Spiritist doctrine
began to take root, firstly in France from where it spread
throughout Europe and found its way to North America. Most
significant, however, was the reaction to Spiritism in South
America. In Brazil the Spiritist movement swept across the nation
and it is still one of the country's main religions to this day
with millions of Kardec's followers from Brazil visiting his
tombstone in Paris every year.
