I CAN’T, BUT I KNOW A GUY is a Southern country-gospel rock song about strength, humility, and remembering where every good thing truly comes from.
The inspiration appeared in the middle of an ordinary hardware-store aisle. A laughing man wore a black shirt bearing a cross and a simple declaration: “I can’t… but I know a Guy.”
That shirt preached an entire sermon without a pulpit. It did not celebrate helplessness.
It pointed beyond human limitations to Jesus Christ, the One who commands the storm, moves mountains, forgives sin, restores the fallen, and gives us strength for whatever He calls us to do.
I have worked with my hands, endured difficult roads, investigated records, followed evidence, confronted powerful institutions, and stood before a few giants of my own.
But every victory carries a spiritual danger: the temptation to believe I accomplished it alone. Pride can quietly take the wheel, and pride often drives fastest just before the crash.
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” — Proverbs 16:18
This song is my prayer that God will keep me humble when people applaud, keep my motives clean when my platform grows, and keep my knees bent when blessings arrive.
I never want confidence to harden into arrogance. I never want a title, talent, achievement, or public platform to become a throne. I am dust carrying the breath of God, and every heartbeat is borrowed grace.
Humility does not mean pretending we are worthless, weak, or incapable. It means recognizing the Source of our worth, strength, courage, wisdom, and opportunity. We still lace up our boots. We still answer the call. We still work, investigate, plant, build, speak for the wounded, defend the vulnerable, and stand for truth when powerful people would rather we remain silent. But we do it knowing that we can plant and water while only God can bring the increase.
David carried the sling, but faith brought down the giant. Moses struggled to speak, but God gave power to his voice. Peter stepped onto the water, began to sink, and cried out to the Savior who reached for him. Paul possessed education, determination, and influence, yet counted it all as nothing compared with knowing Jesus Christ.
That is the heart of this song:
I will work like it matters and pray while I try.
I will carry my calling without confusing myself with the One who called me.
I will stand boldly while remaining teachable.
I will accept responsibility without claiming God’s glory.
I cannot do everything, and I was never supposed to.
Jesus said, “Without me ye can do nothing.” — John 15:5
Father, when my name grows louder, let Yours rise higher. When my platform grows wider, keep my heart bowed before the King. When I am tempted to boast about the battles I survived, remind me that You sustained me through every one of them. Give me a strong back, clean hands, a compassionate heart, and a teachable mind.
I cannot move every mountain.
I cannot calm every storm.
I cannot purchase mercy or earn grace.
I cannot save myself, much less become the savior of anyone else.
But thank God, I know a Guy.
If this song speaks to your heart, share it with someone who is carrying more than human strength can bear. May it remind all of us that surrender to Christ is not defeat. It is where genuine strength begins.

Resumo do Vídeo original:
Jesus é o guia para os mundos celestes.
Mas o que isso significa para a nossa vida, para o futuro da Terra e para o caminho espiritual que estamos percorrendo hoje?
Nesta palestra, Haroldo Dutra Dias apresenta uma leitura profunda do Sermão da Montanha à luz do Espiritismo e mostra o projeto de Jesus para a transformação da humanidade.
Assista até o final e compartilhe esta reflexão com quem também busca compreender o nosso destino espiritual.
Partindo do ensinamento “Na casa de meu Pai há muitas moradas”, Haroldo percorre a progressão dos mundos apresentada por Allan Kardec: mundos primitivos, mundos de expiação e provas, mundos de regeneração, mundos felizes e mundos celestes.
Mas essa evolução não acontece apenas com o planeta. Ela precisa acontecer dentro de nós.
Ao longo da palestra, compreendemos que inteligência, sentimentos, relacionamentos e até nossa maneira de amar precisam ser regenerados. O amor possessivo precisa transformar-se em amor incondicional; a violência deve ceder lugar à fraternidade; e a justiça que desejamos precisa aproximar-se cada vez mais da justiça divina, fundamentada no amor, na misericórdia e na educação do Espírito.
O SERMÃO DA MONTANHA COMO ROTEIRO
Haroldo apresenta uma imagem especialmente poderosa: o Sermão da Montanha como uma declaração moral dos mundos celestes, trazendo para a Terra princípios vividos pelos Espíritos que já alcançaram níveis superiores de evolução.
Humildade, reconciliação, perdão e respeito ao outro deixam, então, de ser apenas belas recomendações religiosas. Tornam-se indicações concretas do caminho que precisamos percorrer.
E Jesus é apresentado como nosso modelo e guia, aquele que conhece o destino e nos oferece a direção.
O “GPS” ESPIRITUAL
Em uma das metáforas mais marcantes da palestra, Haroldo compara os ensinamentos espirituais a um GPS.
Recebemos orientações, fazemos escolhas pelo livre-arbítrio e, muitas vezes, seguimos justamente na direção contrária. Então a espiritualidade precisa novamente “recalcular a rota”.
Quantas vezes estamos repetindo os mesmos caminhos?
Quantas experiências dolorosas poderiam transformar-se se finalmente aceitássemos uma nova direção?
NESTA PALESTRA, VOCÊ VAI REFLETIR SOBRE:
A progressão espiritual dos mundos;
A transição da Terra e o mundo de regeneração;
O verdadeiro significado do livre-arbítrio;
O Sermão da Montanha e os mundos celestes;
Humildade, perdão e reconciliação;
O papel dos relacionamentos em nossa evolução;
Por que nossas imperfeições também produzem sofrimento;
Jesus como modelo para toda a humanidade;
O destino espiritual da Terra.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE PARA INDEXAÇÃO:
Haroldo Dutra Dias, Jesus, mundos celestes, mundo de regeneração, transição planetária, progressão dos mundos, Sermão da Montanha, Allan Kardec, Espiritismo, Evangelho Segundo o Espiritismo, evolução espiritual, livre-arbítrio, perdão, reconciliação, humildade, justiça divina, mundos felizes, expiação e provas, espiritualidade, evolução da humanidade, destino da Terra, ensinamentos de Jesus.
Nesta palestra, Haroldo Dutra Dias utiliza o Sermão da Montanha para apresentar uma visão espírita sobre o destino da humanidade e o papel de Jesus como guia planetário. O resumo dos pontos principais é:
A Progressão dos Mundos (0:55 - 11:15):
Haroldo descreve a jornada evolutiva das almas, passando por mundos primitivos, de expiação e provas, de regeneração, ditosos (felizes) e, finalmente, os mundos celestes. Ele enfatiza que essa evolução deve ocorrer internamente, transformando nossa inteligência e sentimentos.
O Papel de Jesus (11:41 - 17:15):
O palestrante argumenta que Jesus não fundou uma religião humana de exclusão, mas sim atua como o governador espiritual do planeta, trabalhando para a redenção de toda a humanidade, sem distinção.
O "GPS" Espiritual (40:09 - 42:37):
Uma metáfora central da palestra onde os ensinamentos de Jesus são comparados a um GPS.
O livre-arbítrio permite que façamos escolhas, mas muitas vezes ignoramos a rota sugerida pela espiritualidade, resultando em sofrimento desnecessário devido às nossas imperfeições.
Haroldo Dutra Dias utiliza a metáfora do GPS para explicar como os ensinamentos espirituais e os conselhos de Jesus funcionam como um guia para a nossa evolução, entre os momentos (40:03 - 42:37) e também ao final da palestra (57:03 - 58:32).
Nessa analogia:
O "recalculando" do GPS: Representa a nossa teimosia em seguir caminhos contrários às orientações da espiritualidade. Mesmo recebendo a rota correta, muitas vezes insistimos em fazer nossas próprias escolhas pelo livre-arbítrio (40:03 - 41:00).
A persistência do guia: Assim como um GPS moderno e preciso, Jesus nos fornece o roteiro ideal, mas o "aparelho" (nossa consciência) frequentemente ignora as direções, o que exige que a espiritualidade esteja sempre recalculando a rota para nos trazer de volta ao destino (41:39 - 42:37).
A responsabilidade individual: O palestrante enfatiza que, agora que conhecemos o caminho (o "GPS quântico"), não temos mais desculpas para errar a direção, pois o destino final—os mundos celestes—já nos foi indicado (57:46 - 58:32).
Prática Moral (43:06 - 56:11):
O Sermão da Montanha é apresentado como um roteiro de leis que regem os mundos celestes. Haroldo destaca a necessidade de humildade, reconciliação (caminhar a segunda milha) e o perdão como ferramentas essenciais para a convivência pacífica enquanto evoluímos neste mundo de provas.
Segundo a palestra de Haroldo Dutra Dias, Jesus atua como o governador espiritual do planeta e gestor da nossa evolução, guiando a humanidade em direção a patamares mais elevados de consciência (21:18 - 22:00).
Sua atuação ocorre de várias formas fundamentais:
Modelo e Guia:
Jesus encarnou na Terra para ser o exemplo vivo de um Espírito puro, mostrando o caminho que todos devemos seguir para evoluir (22:55 - 23:05, 56:51).
Educação Moral:
Ele nos deixou o Sermão da Montanha como uma verdadeira "constituição" dos mundos celestes, trazendo princípios práticos como a humildade, o perdão e a reconciliação (23:32 - 23:46, 25:30 - 25:54).
Roteiro de Evolução:
Ele atua como um "GPS espiritual". Embora tenhamos livre-arbítrio para escolher nossos caminhos, as leis divinas e os ensinamentos de Jesus recalculam constantemente a rota para nos conduzir ao bem, mesmo quando insistimos em repetir erros (40:09 - 42:37, 57:06 - 57:46).
Redenção Coletiva:
A missão de Jesus não é fundar uma religião de exclusão, mas promover a transformação do planeta inteiro, conduzindo a humanidade da condição de expiação e provas para o mundo de regeneração e, futuramente, para mundos celestes (16:28 - 17:15).
No Espiritismo, conforme exposto na palestra de Haroldo Dutra Dias, a humildade é considerada fundamental por ser a chave para o progresso espiritual e a convivência nos mundos superiores.
A importância da humildade pode ser compreendida através dos seguintes pontos:
Reconhecimento da ignorância:
A verdadeira humildade, diferente de uma baixa autoestima, é a capacidade de reconhecer o tamanho da nossa própria ignorância diante da imensidão do universo e do Criador (24:35 - 25:00).
Porta de entrada para mundos superiores:
O Sermão da Montanha apresenta a humildade como um princípio básico dos mundos celestes. Jesus ensina que "bem-aventurados os pobres de espírito, porque deles é o reino dos céus", indicando que a humildade é a condição moral para habitar patamares de evolução mais elevados (23:32 - 23:46).
Superação do ego:
A humildade nos ajuda a perceber que, por mais sábios que sejamos, o trabalho coletivo e a união são superiores à visão isolada de nosso ego. Ela nos permite olhar para o lado, ver o próximo e entender que "juntos somos mais" (25:00 - 25:20).
Combate ao orgulho:
A palestra ressalta que as imperfeições, como o orgulho e o desejo de controle, geram sofrimento. A humildade atua como o antídoto que reduz esse sofrimento, permitindo uma convivência harmoniosa em vez de atritos constantes (54:11 - 55:58).
De acordo com a palestra de Haroldo Dutra Dias, a humildade é uma ferramenta essencial para o perdão porque altera a nossa percepção sobre o outro e sobre nós mesmos no contexto de um mundo de expiação e provas:
Reconhecimento da nossa própria imperfeição:
Quando compreendemos que nós também somos "porcos-espinhos" (metáfora usada pelo palestrante), capazes de ferir os outros tanto quanto somos feridos, deixamos de nos colocar em uma posição de superioridade ou vitimismo (51:39 - 52:40).
Superação do julgamento:
A humildade nos ajuda a perceber que o outro pode estar agindo a partir de suas próprias limitações e ignorância espiritual, tal como nós mesmos já agimos no passado. Em vez de focar na mágoa, a humildade nos convida a entender que estamos todos em um processo de aprendizado conjunto (44:26 - 45:17).
Convivência harmônica:
O perdão, sustentado pela humildade, é o único mecanismo que permite a convivência pacífica em um mundo onde somos, inevitavelmente, imperfeitos. Sem o perdão, as relações tornam-se constantes fontes de sofrimento devido aos atritos de nossas condutas (53:03 - 53:31, 55:44 - 55:58).
Foco no bem comum:
A humildade nos tira do centro de nossas atenções, permitindo que busquemos a reconciliação e o bem-estar do coletivo, em vez de exigir que o mundo se curve às nossas preferências ou vinganças pessoais (48:31 - 49:57).
Praticar o perdão no dia a dia, segundo a perspectiva de Haroldo Dutra Dias apresentada na palestra, envolve uma mudança de postura diante das relações e das nossas próprias limitações:
Reconheça a condição de "porco-espinho":
Entenda que todos estamos em um mundo de expiação e provas, onde, muitas vezes por inexperiência ou imperfeições (os "espinhos"), acabamos ferindo uns aos outros sem intenção maligna consciente.
Reconhecer que você também fere os outros ajuda a ter mais paciência com quem o fere (51:39 - 52:40, 53:03 - 53:21).
Não julgue com fotos antigas:
O palestrante destaca que muitas vezes guardamos uma "fotografia" negativa de alguém baseada em um erro passado. É preciso lembrar que as pessoas mudam e, muitas vezes, o seu adversário está reagindo a uma versão sua que já não existe mais. Foque no presente e no potencial de mudança do próximo (44:26 - 45:17).
Pratique a reconciliação (caminhar a segunda milha):
Se alguém lhe causa uma dificuldade, em vez de apenas reagir, busque ir além, como ensinou Jesus. Isso significa oferecer algo positivo onde se esperava uma reação negativa, transformando a convivência e quebrando o ciclo de feridas mútuas (43:06 - 44:02).
Aceite a imperfeição:
O perdão é o único mecanismo que permite que pessoas imperfeitas convivam. Entender que o sofrimento vem da nossa falta de progresso moral torna mais fácil perdoar, pois a mágoa deixa de ser o foco e dá lugar ao entendimento pedagógico do aprendizado espiritual (53:24 - 53:51, 55:32 - 55:58).
Como corrigir sem se afastar do bem ?
Segundo a palestra, a correção sem se afastar do bem é possível quando entendemos que a justiça divina é pautada pelo amor e misericórdia (7:04 - 7:07). Para agir dessa forma no dia a dia, é preciso seguir estas diretrizes:
Senso Pedagógico:
Assim como nos mundos ditosos, onde o bem educa e corrige sem abandonar o caminho do bem, a nossa correção deve buscar sempre o aprendizado e aperfeiçoamento da consciência de quem errou, e não a punição ou a vingança (7:14 - 7:26, 8:34 - 8:46).
Superação da Vingança:
Devemos evitar a justiça humana, que muitas vezes se baseia na retaliação. A verdadeira correção acontece quando, em vez de ferir, ajudamos o próximo a compreender o erro, mantendo o foco na regeneração e não na destruição do indivíduo (6:51 - 7:35).
Reconciliação:
A prática da "segunda milha" (43:06 - 44:02) ensina que, mesmo quando alguém nos causa uma dificuldade, a resposta deve ser baseada na bondade e na entrega de bons frutos, permitindo que o adversário experimente uma nova forma de relação (45:17 - 45:35).
Em resumo, corrigir sem se afastar do bem exige substituir o orgulho e a necessidade de controle pela paciência e pelo reconhecimento de que estamos todos em um processo coletivo de evolução (54:11 - 55:58).

Haroldo Dutra Dias at the 11th FEESP Spiritist Congress — 2023
https://youtu.be/yLomUo0jOlA?si=ZtTKU3_Fpwh7w58q
Jesus is the guide to the heavenly worlds.
But what does this mean for our lives, for the future of the Earth, and for the spiritual path that we are following today?
In this lecture, Haroldo Dutra Dias presents a profound reading of the Sermon on the Mount in the light of Spiritism and shows Jesus’ project for the transformation of humanity.
Starting from the teaching, “In my Father’s house are many mansions,” Haroldo goes through the progression of the worlds presented by Allan Kardec: primitive worlds, worlds of expiation and trials, worlds of regeneration, happy worlds, and heavenly worlds.
But this evolution does not happen only with the planet. It needs to happen within us.
Throughout the lecture, we understand that intelligence, feelings, relationships, and even our way of loving need to be regenerated.
Possessive love needs to be transformed into unconditional love; violence must give way to fraternity; and the justice that we desire needs to come ever closer to divine justice, founded on love, mercy, and the education of the Spirit.
THE PROGRESSION OF THE WORLDS — 0:55–11:15
Haroldo describes the evolutionary journey of souls, passing through primitive worlds, worlds of expiation and trials, worlds of regeneration, blissful or happy worlds, and, finally, the heavenly worlds.
He emphasizes that this evolution must also occur internally, transforming our intelligence and feelings.
THE ROLE OF JESUS — 11:41–17:15
The lecturer argues that Jesus did not found a human religion of exclusion. He acts as the spiritual governor of the planet, working for the redemption of all humanity, without distinction.
According to Haroldo Dutra Dias, Jesus guides humanity toward higher levels of consciousness in several fundamental ways:
Model and Guide
Jesus incarnated on Earth to be the living example of a pure Spirit, showing the path that we must all follow in order to evolve (22:55–23:05; 56:51).
Moral Education
He left us the Sermon on the Mount as a true “constitution” of the heavenly worlds, bringing practical principles such as humility, forgiveness, and reconciliation (23:32–23:46; 25:30–25:54).
Roadmap for Evolution
He acts as a “spiritual GPS.” Although we have free will to choose our paths, the divine laws and the teachings of Jesus constantly recalculate the route to lead us toward goodness, even when we insist on repeating mistakes (40:09–42:37; 57:06–57:46).
Collective Redemption
Jesus’ mission is not to found a religion of exclusion, but to promote the transformation of the entire planet, leading humanity from the condition of expiation and trials to the world of regeneration and, in the future, to the heavenly worlds (16:28–17:15).
THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT AS A ROADMAP
Haroldo presents an especially powerful image: the Sermon on the Mount as a moral declaration of the heavenly worlds, bringing to Earth principles lived by Spirits who have already reached higher levels of evolution.
Humility, reconciliation, forgiveness, and respect for others then cease to be merely beautiful religious recommendations. They become concrete indications of the path that we need to follow.
Jesus is presented as our model and guide, the one who knows the destination and offers us the direction.
THE SPIRITUAL “GPS” — 40:03–42:37; 57:03–58:32
Haroldo Dutra Dias uses the GPS metaphor to explain how spiritual teachings and Jesus’ counsels function as a guide for our evolution.
The GPS “Recalculating”
It represents our stubbornness in following paths contrary to the guidance of spirituality. Even when we receive the correct route, we often insist on making our own choices through free will (40:03–41:00).
The Persistence of the Guide
Just like a modern and precise GPS, Jesus provides us with the ideal route, but the “device”—our consciousness—frequently ignores the directions. This requires spirituality to keep recalculating the route to bring us back to the destination (41:39–42:37).
Individual Responsibility
The lecturer emphasizes that, now that we know the path—the “quantum GPS”—we no longer have excuses for going in the wrong direction, because the final destination, the heavenly worlds, has already been indicated to us (57:46–58:32).
We receive guidance and make choices through free will, but we often follow precisely in the opposite direction. Then spirituality needs to “recalculate the route” once again.
How many times are we repeating the same paths?
How many painful experiences could be transformed if we finally accepted a new direction?
MORAL PRACTICE — 43:06–56:11
The Sermon on the Mount is presented as a roadmap of the laws that govern the heavenly worlds.
Haroldo highlights the necessity of humility, reconciliation—walking the second mile—and forgiveness as essential tools for peaceful coexistence while we evolve in this world of trials.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMILITY
In Spiritism, as presented in Haroldo Dutra Dias’ lecture, humility is fundamental because it is the key to spiritual progress and coexistence in the higher worlds.
Recognition of Our Ignorance
True humility, unlike low self-esteem, is the ability to recognize the extent of our own ignorance before the immensity of the universe and the Creator (24:35–25:00).
Gateway to Higher Worlds
The Sermon on the Mount presents humility as a basic principle of the heavenly worlds. Jesus teaches:
«“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”»
This indicates that humility is the moral condition for inhabiting higher levels of evolution (23:32–23:46).
Overcoming the Ego
Humility helps us realize that, however wise we may be, collective work and unity are superior to the isolated vision of our ego. It allows us to look to the side, see our neighbor, and understand that “together we are more” (25:00–25:20).
Combating Pride
The lecture emphasizes that imperfections, such as pride and the desire for control, generate suffering. Humility acts as the antidote that reduces this suffering, allowing harmonious coexistence instead of constant friction (54:11–55:58).
HUMILITY AS AN ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR FORGIVENESS
Recognition of Our Own Imperfection
When we understand that we are also “porcupines,” according to the metaphor used by the lecturer, capable of hurting others just as much as we are hurt, we cease to place ourselves in a position of superiority or victimhood (51:39–52:40).
Overcoming Judgment
Humility helps us realize that the other person may be acting from his or her own limitations and spiritual ignorance, just as we ourselves have acted in the past.
Instead of focusing on hurt, humility invites us to understand that we are all engaged in a process of learning together (44:26–45:17).
Harmonious Coexistence
Forgiveness, sustained by humility, is the only mechanism that allows peaceful coexistence in a world where we are inevitably imperfect.
Without forgiveness, relationships become constant sources of suffering because of the friction caused by our conduct (53:03–53:31; 55:44–55:58).
Focus on the Common Good
Humility removes us from the center of our own attention, allowing us to seek reconciliation and the well-being of the collective instead of demanding that the world bend to our preferences or personal vengeance (48:31–49:57).
HOW TO PRACTICE FORGIVENESS IN DAILY LIFE
Recognize the Condition of Being a “Porcupine”
Understand that we are all in a world of expiation and trials where, often because of inexperience or imperfections—our “quills”—we end up hurting one another without conscious malicious intent.
Recognizing that you also hurt others helps you have more patience with those who hurt you (51:39–52:40; 53:03–53:21).
Do Not Judge Using Old Photographs
The lecturer emphasizes that we often keep a negative “photograph” of someone based on a past mistake.
We must remember that people change and that, often, your adversary is reacting to a version of you that no longer exists. Focus on the present and on your neighbor’s potential for change (44:26–45:17).
Practice Reconciliation: Walk the Second Mile
If someone causes you difficulty, instead of merely reacting, seek to go further, as Jesus taught.
This means offering something positive where a negative reaction was expected, transforming coexistence and breaking the cycle of mutual wounds (43:06–44:02).
Accept Imperfection
Forgiveness is the only mechanism that allows imperfect people to coexist.
Understanding that suffering comes from our lack of moral progress makes it easier to forgive, because hurt ceases to be the focus and gives way to the educational understanding of spiritual learning (53:24–53:51; 55:32–55:58).
HOW CAN WE CORRECT WITHOUT MOVING AWAY FROM GOODNESS?
According to the lecture, correction without moving away from goodness is possible when we understand that divine justice is guided by love and mercy (7:04–7:07).
Educational Purpose
Just as in the blissful worlds, where goodness educates and corrects without abandoning the path of goodness, our correction must always seek the learning and improvement of the consciousness of the person who erred, and not punishment or vengeance (7:14–7:26; 8:34–8:46).
Overcoming Vengeance
We must avoid human justice when it is based on retaliation.
True correction takes place when, instead of hurting, we help our neighbor understand the error, maintaining the focus on regeneration and not on the destruction of the individual (6:51–7:35).
Reconciliation
The practice of the “second mile” teaches that, even when someone causes us difficulty, the response must be based on goodness and the offering of good fruits, allowing the adversary to experience a new form of relationship (43:06–45:35).
In summary, correcting without moving away from goodness requires replacing pride and the need for control with patience and the recognition that we are all engaged in a collective process of evolution (54:11–55:58).

THE SPIRITUAL “GPS”
In one of the most striking metaphors of the lecture, Haroldo compares spiritual teachings to a GPS.
Haroldo Dutra Dias uses the GPS metaphor to explain how spiritual teachings and Jesus’ counsels function as a guide for our evolution, between the moments (40:03 - 42:37) and also at the end of the lecture (57:03 - 58:32).

What is real will never die, no matter how many lives we live.
A Beautiful Song by Raselhits
While many people battle against one another in family courts, and many weep over the absence of their loved ones, Rasel continues to reward us with his beautiful songs, reminding us that:
TRUE LOVE NEVER ENDS
This song leads us to reflect upon the divine essence of every being created by GOD, out of Love!
And it brings us back to the teachings of Our Lord Jesus Christ and to the beautiful messages brought to us by the Holy Spirit of God, the Spirit of Truth, who came to help us by explaining more clearly what Jesus could not yet tell us because most of us were not yet prepared to understand.
I am publishing this song and these messages with the certainty that TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES, no matter how many lives we have already lived.
Jesus said: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Happy Labor Day to our North American brothers and sisters!
Happy Independence Day to Brazilians!
May everyone of us have a happy and blessed life .

THE LAW OF LOVE
The Gospel According to Spiritism
Allan Kardec
Chapter XI — Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
Instructions from the Spirits
8. Love sums up the entire doctrine of Jesus, since it is the feeling par excellence, and feelings are instincts raised to the level of the progress attained.
At his origin, man has only instincts; when more advanced and corrupted, he has only sensations; when instructed and purified, he has feelings. And the delicate point of feeling is love—not love in the vulgar sense of the term, but that inner sun which condenses and gathers within its burning focus all aspirations and all superhuman revelations.
The law of love replaces personality with the fusion of beings; it extinguishes social miseries.
Blessed is he who, surpassing his humanity, loves his suffering brothers with a vast love!
Blessed is he who loves, for he knows neither the misery of the soul nor that of the body. His feet are light, and he lives as though transported, outside himself.
When Jesus pronounced the divine word—love—the peoples were startled, and the martyrs, intoxicated with hope, descended into the arena.
Spiritism, in its turn, comes to pronounce a second word of the divine alphabet.
Be attentive, for this word raises the gravestone from the empty tombs, and reincarnation, triumphing over death, reveals to dazzled creatures their intellectual inheritance.
It no longer leads man to torment: it leads him to the conquest of his being, elevated and transfigured.
Blood redeemed the Spirit, and the Spirit must today redeem man from matter.
I said that, in his beginnings, man possessed only instincts. Therefore, whoever is dominated by instincts is still closer to the point of departure than to the goal. In order to advance toward the goal, the creature must overcome instincts for the benefit of feelings; that is, he must perfect the latter by suffocating the latent germs of matter.
Instincts are the germination and embryos of feeling; they carry progress within themselves, as the acorn contains the oak within itself, and the less advanced beings are those who, emerging little by little from their chrysalises, remain enslaved to instincts. The Spirit needs to be cultivated, like a field.
All future wealth depends upon the present labor, which will obtain for you much more than earthly goods: glorious elevation.
It is then that, understanding the law of love that binds all beings together, you will seek within it the most gentle delights of the soul, preludes to heavenly joys.
— Lazarus. (Paris, 1862.)
9.Love is of divine essence, and all of you, from the first to the last, have, in the depths of your hearts, the spark of this sacred fire.
This is a fact that you have already been able to verify many times: man, however abject, vile, and criminal he may be, devotes to a being or to any object a vivid and ardent affection capable of withstanding everything that might tend to diminish it, and which not rarely reaches sublime proportions.
To a being or to any object, I said, because there are among you individuals who, with their hearts overflowing with love, expend treasures of this feeling upon animals, plants, and even material things: kinds of misanthropes who, while complaining about Humanity in general and resisting the natural inclination of their souls, which seek affection and sympathy around them, lower the law of love to the condition of instinct.
Nevertheless, no matter what they do, they cannot suffocate the living germ that God deposited in their hearts when He created them.
This germ develops and grows with morality and intelligence and, although often compressed by selfishness, becomes the source of the holy and gentle virtues that generate sincere and lasting affections and help the creature cross the steep and arid path of human existence.
There are people who are repelled by reincarnation, with the idea that others may come to share the affectionate sympathies of which they are jealous. Poor brothers! Your affection makes you selfish; your love is restricted to an intimate circle of relatives and friends, while all others are indifferent to you.
Well then! In order to practice the law of love as God understands it, you must, step by step, come to love all your brothers without distinction.
The task is long and difficult, but it will be accomplished: God wills it, and the law of love constitutes the first and most important precept of your new doctrine, because it is this law that will one day kill selfishness, whatever form it may assume, given that, besides personal selfishness, there is also the selfishness of family, caste, and nationality.
Jesus said: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Now, what is the limit with regard to one’s neighbor?
Is it the family, the sect, the nation?
No; it is all Humanity.
In the higher worlds, reciprocal love is what harmonizes and guides the advanced Spirits who inhabit them, and your planet, destined soon to achieve noticeable progress, will see its inhabitants, by virtue of the social transformation through which it will pass, practice this sublime law, a reflection of Divinity.
The effects of the law of love are the moral improvement of the human race and happiness during earthly life. The most rebellious and the most vicious will reform themselves when they observe the benefits resulting from the practice of this precept:
Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you; on the contrary, do for them all the good that is within your power to do for them.
Do not believe in the sterility and hardening of the human heart; to true love, it yields in spite of itself. It is a magnet that it is impossible for the heart to resist. Contact with this love vivifies and fertilizes the germs of love that exist in a latent state within your hearts.
The Earth, sphere of trial and exile, will then be purified by this sacred fire and will see charity, humility, patience, devotion, self-denial, resignation, and sacrifice practiced upon its surface—all virtues that are daughters of love.
Therefore, do not grow weary of listening to the words of John the Evangelist.
As you know, when illness and old age forced him to suspend the course of his preaching, he limited himself to repeating these most gentle words:
“My little children, love one another.”
Beloved brothers, take advantage of these lessons; it is difficult to practice them, but the soul reaps immense good from them.
Believe me, make the sublime effort that I ask of you:
“Love one another,”
and you will soon see the Earth transformed into a Paradise where the souls of the righteous will come to rest.
— Sanson. (Bordeaux, 1861.)
10. My dear fellow disciples, the Spirits present here tell you, through me:
“Love greatly, so that you may be loved.”
This thought is so just that in it you will find everything that consoles and softens the pains of each day; or, better still: by putting this wise counsel into practice, you will raise yourselves so far above matter that you will spiritualize yourselves before leaving the earthly envelope.
Since Spiritist studies have developed within you an understanding of the future, you possess one certainty: that you are walking toward God, seeing fulfilled all the promises that correspond to the aspirations of your soul. For this reason, you must raise yourselves very high in order to judge without the constraints of matter and not condemn your neighbor without having directed your thoughts toward God.
To love, in the profound sense of the term, is for man to be loyal, upright, and conscientious, in order to do to others what he would want them to do to him; it is to seek around himself the intimate meaning of all the sufferings that overwhelm his brothers, in order to alleviate them; it is to regard the great human family as his own, because you will all encounter that family, within a certain period, in more advanced worlds; and the Spirits who compose it are, like you, children of God, destined to rise toward infinity.
Thus, you cannot refuse your brothers what God has liberally granted you, since, for your part, you would be greatly pleased if your brothers gave you what you need. For all sufferings, therefore, always have a word of hope and comfort, so that you may be entirely love and justice.
Believe that this wise exhortation—
“Love enough, so that you may be loved”
—will open the way; revolutionary, it follows its course, which is determined and unchanging.
But you who hear me have already gained much, for you are already infinitely better than you were a hundred years ago.
You have changed so much, for your own benefit, that you willingly accept an immensity of new ideas regarding freedom and fraternity that you would formerly have rejected.
Now, a hundred years from now, you will undoubtedly accept with the same ease those ideas that have not yet been able to enter your minds.
Today, when the Spiritist movement has taken such a great step, observe how quickly the ideas of justice and renewal contained in Spiritist communications are accepted by the middle portion of the intelligent world.
It is because these ideas correspond to everything divine within you. It is because you have been prepared by fruitful sowing: that of the past century, which implanted the great ideas of progress within earthly society.
And, because everything is linked together under the direction of the Most High, all the lessons received and accepted will come to culminate in the universal exchange of love for one’s neighbor.
Through this, incarnate Spirits, appreciating and feeling one another better, will extend their hands to one another from all the confines of your planet.
They will come together in order to understand and love one another, in order to destroy all injustices and all causes of discord among peoples.
Great concept of renewal through Spiritism, so well presented in The Spirits’ Book; you will produce the prodigious miracle of the coming century: the harmonization of all the material and spiritual interests of men through the application of this well-understood precept:
“Love enough, so that you may be loved.”
— Sanson, former member of the Spiritist Society of Paris. (1863.)

Main points addressed:
Divine Action: The video emphasizes that God not only opens doors, but also goes ahead to prepare the way, remove obstacles (0:55–1:12), and break emotional, spiritual, or financial resistance that seemed impossible to overcome (7:46–8:11).
Inner Preparation: It is explained that God often begins by moving something “on the inside” before manifesting external changes. This includes aligning thoughts, healing wounds, and bringing cycles from the past to an end (3:14–3:28).
Perception and Trust: The viewer is encouraged to discern signs of change, such as a new peace or a sense of movement in the spirit, even when the answers are not yet physically visible (2:36–3:00; 32:38–33:00).

The video ends with a powerful prayer (36:38–39:00) intended to seal this promise in the life of the person watching it, encouraging trust in God’s guidance and not in human strength (33:58–34:30).
