VIDA APÓS A MORTE, VIDA FUTURA; FUTURO
DE VIDA.
Perispírito,ligado ao corpo pelo cordão de prata. |
Vivemos e batalhamos com denodo e
sacrifício pela existência, entretanto, temos a convicção de que a morte física
é certa, inexorável. Ninguém disso duvida. Mas, após o desenlace físico, qual o
nosso destino? Sobreviverá a individualidade após a morte? Na hipótese de sobreviver, seria essa sobrevivência temporária
ou eterna? Eis a questão que sempre inquietou o ser humano, desde o seu
estado de selvageria até os atuais dias.
Os Gregos e os povos do Oriente
Próximo acreditavam na sobrevivência humana após o desenlace físico. Após a
morte, o ser humano, fosse bom ou mau, iria para um mundo subterrâneo, ao qual,
na Grécia, se dava o nome de “inferno”, na Babilônia, de “aralu” e, entre os
Judeus, de “xeol”.
Inferno de Dante. |
Na maioria dos textos do velho testamento, dá-se a
entender que todos, indistintamente
iriam para o “xeol”, onde permaneceriam. Por outro lado, há registros que indicam haver a
possibilidade de os bons serem retirados de lá, posteriormente como nos
informam os Salmos 16:10 e49:15 “(...)porquanto não abandonará no xeol minh’alma... “(...) porém Deus remirá minh’alma
do poder do xeol, pois ele me receberá...”.
Doutras vezes, temos referências de pessoas que não
transitaram pelo “xeol” mas foram arrebatadas vivas diretamente ao Céu, como
Elias e Enoque (Gênese 5:24 e II Reis 2:11).
Há também, na Bíblia, como está registrado em Jó 19:26-27, a
convicção de encontrar-se diretamente com Deus, após a morte, sem transitar
pelo “xeol”: “(...) e depois de destruída essa minha pele, mesmo fora de minha
carne, verei Deus; vê-lo-ei ao meu lado, e os meus olhos o contemplarão...”
Isso tudo põe por terra a tese que algumas escolas
religiosas cristãs apresentam, no sentido de que o homem fica, depois da morte,
em estado de sono até a data da ressureição no fim dos tempos, quando despertará para o
juízo final.
De modo geral, no velho testamento a recompensa para o homem
fiel a Deus era a própria terra, através
de favores divinos de propriedade, saúde, vida longa e morte digna. Esse
conceito de que a recompensa divina a quem fosse fiel a Deus era na própria
terra ainda perdura nos dias atuais, bastando observar certos programas em
nossa televisão, em que aderiram à religião que ora professam e onde conheceram
o deus vivo, tudo mudou em sua vida: progrediram nos negócios, curaram-se de
enfermidades, deixaram vícios etc , etc.
Vê-se, pois, que, pela dificuldade de entenderem as coisas
espirituais, materializaram a visão de recompensas relativas à vida futura.
Os saduceus, no tempo de Jesus, tinham essa concepção, não
acreditando sequer na dita “ressureição dos mortos” (Mc. 12:18-27).
Na época do Novo Testamento, a idéia da imortalidade da
alma, de certo modo, se ampliou, mas as concepções do lugar onde se localizava
o homem depois da morte pouco mudou.

Esclarecimentos
Espíritas.
Pelas informações obtidas dos
próprios Espíritos a respeito da vida além da morte, a Doutrina Espírita
esclarece que, de fato, há regiões diferenciadas no plano espiritual,
representando esferas inferiores como superiores. Assim, é que o desencarnado,
conforme o peso específico do perispírito (que espelha seu estado íntimo) pode
se situar na Crosta, no Umbral, nas Trevas ou nas regiões superiores, onde se
localizam as Colônias Espirituais. É preciso
esclarecer que o Umbral e as Trevas são regiões distintas. O Umbral
começa na crosta terrestre. É uma zona obscura, repleta de desencarnados e
formas-pensamentos dos encarnados. Aí se encontram fluidos pesados emitidos por
milhares de mentes desequilibradas. É criação, por assim dizer, do próprio
homem, encarnado e desencarnado. O Umbral funciona como região destinada ao
esgotamento de resíduos mentais, uma espécie de zona purgatorial onde se queima
a prestação o material deteriorado das ilusões que a criatura adquiriu por
atacado. Está repleto de desesperados, revoltados, infelizes malfeitores e
meliantes de várias categorias.
Umbral. |
Enquanto que o Umbral se inicia da
superfície da crosta para cima, as trevas são regiões que se iniciam da superfície
da terra para baixo, abrangendo “as profundezas dos mares e o âmago da Terra” (Nosso
Lar cap. 44). Representam as regiões inferiores das esferas espirituais; ao
tempo em que, no Umbral situam-se, preponderantemente, Espíritos desequilibrados,
nas Trevas encontram-se aqueles delinquentes que “deitam de si oscilações mentais de
terrível caráter”. São tiranos, suicidas, homicidas, carrascos do povo,
libertinos, traidores do bem e os complicados em viciações de todas as
procedências.
Nas regiões ditas superiores,
conforme dissemos acima, encontram-se as colônias espirituais, algumas
adjacentes ao Umbral, como “Nosso
Lar” e, outras, mais elevadas, como “Alvorada Nova”. Nosso Lar não é propriamente
“ o céu”, “o paraíso”, mas um núcleo de transição; É mais propriamente um
hospital, uma escola, um templo. Digno de nota é a observação de Lísias a André
Luiz:
“Nosso Lar não é estância de Espíritos propriamente virtuosos... Somos
felizes porque temos trabalho e a alegria habita cada recanto da Colônia”
Colônia espiritual de Nosso Lar. |
É digna de registro a advertência do
Espírito Lourenço Prado (Seareiros de Volta) quando nos exorta a evitarmos
simplesmente substituir as noções de inferno por Umbral ou de céu por esferas
superiores, esclarecendo que “ as próprias colônias espirituais enobrecidas,
estruturadas em matéria rarefeita na espiritualidade, são transitórias”. E
acrescenta: “acostuma-te a raciocinar, não em termos de condição de espaço, mas
em termos de estado de alma”. É por
isso, que André Luiz registra em “Obreiros da vida eterna”, o seguinte
esclarecimento:
Cada homem mentais em que se, por sí, elevar-se-á ao céu ou descerá aos
infernos transitórios, em obediência às disposições prende”
[ Vita post mortem futura vita, futura.
Initial considerationes om.
Proeliatus esset audacia pro uiuimus tamen certo persuasum corporali sacrum. Nemo dubitat, quin. Sed post physicam exitus fuit, quem fata loquentur? Individuality moventes mortem? In omnibus superstes esset superstes it temporariae siue sempiternae? Id est quaestio quae semper aestuasset de statu hominis feritas in hodiernum diem.
The Greek and Near populos orientales crediderunt in physica humanae superessendam post eventum. Post mortem hominis, sive bonum sive malum, subterraneo esset mundus, a quo in Graecia, nomine datum "infernum" in Babylone "Aralu" et apud Judaeos "Infernus ".]
In most Old Testament texts, we are given to understand that everyone, without distinction would go to "Sheol", where they would remain. On the other hand, there are reports that indicate that there is the possibility of the good being removed from there, later to inform us Psalms 16:10 e49: 15 "(...) because they will not leave my soul in Sheol ..." ( ...) But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me ... ".
Of other times, we have references of people who transited the "Sheol" but were alive snatched directly to heaven as Elijah and Enoch (Genesis 5:24 and II Kings 2:11)
Also, in the Bible, as recorded at Job 19: 26-27, the conviction meet directly with God after death, without transiting through the "Sheol": "(...) and after that destroyed my skin, even out of my flesh I will see God; I will see you at my side, and my eyes comtemplarão ... "
All this demolishes the theory that some Christian religious schools have, in the sense that man is, after death, in a state of sleep until the date of resurrection in the end times, when awake for the final judgment.
Generally, in the Old Testament the reward for man faithful to God was the earth itself, through divine favors property, health, long life and dignified death. This concept of the divine reward to those who were faithful to God was in the land itself still lingers today, simply by watching certain programs on our television, which joined the religion they profess now and where they met the living God, everything changed in his life, progressed in business, were cured of illnesses, addictions left etc, etc.
It is seen, therefore, that the difficulty of understand spiritual things, materialize the rewards of view concerning the afterlife.
The Sadducees in the time of Jesus, had this conception, not even believing in the so-called "resurrection from the dead" (Mk. 12: 18-27).
In New Testament times, the idea of the immortality of the soul, in a way, widened, but the conceptions of the place where it was located the man after death has changed little.
And when the original Hebrew Old Testament was translated into Greek in order to meet existing Jewish communities in the world of Hellenic culture, the concept of "Sheol" entered the Septuginta under the name of "hell" or "Hades" adapting to the Greek conception of the underworld that housed the dead: but in this said "hell" there was only place of shadows and torments for humans, but beatitudes of places (Champs Elysees) and imprisonment for the vanquished Titans and unrepentant wicked (Tartarus).
Clarifications Spiritualists.
The information obtained from the spirits themselves about life after death, the Doctrine clarifies that, in fact, there are different regions in the spirit world, representing lower as higher spheres. Thus it is that the disembodied, as the specific gravity of perispirit (which mirrors his inner state) could be located in crust, the Threshold, the Dark or the upper regions, where there are the Spiritual Colonies. It is necessary to clarify that the Threshold and Darkness are distinct regions. The Threshold begins in the earth's crust. It's a gray area, filled with disembodied and thought forms of the incarnate. There are heavy fluids emitted by thousands of unbalanced minds. It is creating, so to speak, the man himself, embodied and disembodied. The Threshold works as a region destined to depletion of mental waste, a kind of purgatorial zone where it burns to provide the material deteriorated illusions that the creature purchased wholesale. It is filled with desperate, angry, unhappy criminals and miscreants of various categories.
While the Threshold begins the surface of the crust up, the darkness are regions that start the earth's surface down, covering "the depths of the seas and the earth's core" (Our Home Ch. 44). Represent the lower regions of the spiritual spheres; at the time that the Threshold are located, primarily, unbalanced Spirits on Dark are those offenders who "throw him mental swings terrible character." Are tyrants, suicidal, homicidal, people's executioners, rakes and complicated and traitors in viciações from all sources.
In said upper regions, as said above, are the spiritual colonies, some adjacent to the Threshold, as "Our Home" and other, higher, as "New Dawn". Our Home is not exactly "heaven," "paradise," but a transition nucleus; It is more properly a hospital, a school, a temple. Of note is the observation Lísias André Luiz:
"Our Home is no resort itself virtuous spirits ... We are happy because we work and the joy inhabit every corner of Cologne"
It is worthy of record warning of the Spirit Lourenço Prado (Volta Seareiros) when exhorts us to avoid simply replacing the hell notions by Threshold or sky by higher spheres, clarifying that "ennobled own spiritual colonies, structured rarefied matter in spirituality , they are transitory. " He adds, "you get used to reason, not in terms of space condition, but in terms of state of mind." That's why, that André Luiz records in "Workers of eternal life", the following clarification:
Each mental man who, by sí, will be raise to heaven or descend to hell transient, in compliance with the provisions holds "
