Medium Benjamin Teixeira de Aguiar
By the Spirit Eugênia-Aspásia
He was born poor, in the Brazilian countryside, amid a semi-feudal culture. He was a man of mixed race, delicate manners, poorly graced with physical beauty, and who only had the opportunity to study up until the Fourth Grade. In short: it was the perfect life framework to grow up a sort of “nobody” – which is a jocular saying that we allow ourselves to use here with the character of reinforcing the true value of the person we allude.
A study, carried out by a representative of NASA in the late 1970s, indicated that Xavier´s aura – a phenomenon closely related to the quality and moral elevation of one’s feelings – had 20 meters in diameter. He wrote more than 400 psychographic books, signed by hundreds of spiritual authors, addressing topics from advanced science to erudite literature. He was a trans-religious icon, admired by all Brazilian-cultural segments, decade over decade, and whose work directly inspired hundreds of social projects.
Mediumistic genius? Holy Soul, due to his unquestionably higher than normal virtues? Yes, we do not nurture doubts regarding such qualifications. However, in what concerns the role he played (and still exercises, beyond the physical plane) during his prolific and glorious reincarnation in Brazil, we would say that— symbolically, methodologically, or archetypally speaking (or however we want to interpret it)—Francisco Cândido Xavier, the lovely Chico Xavier, was, in our opinion, the Brazilian “Avatar”[1] of the twentieth century.
(Message received on 04/02/2013, on Chico Xavier´s 103rd birthday.)
[1] Medium’s note:
[1]“Avatar” is a concept from Hinduism used to make reference to beings allegedly in Buddhistic range of consciousness, who are considered incarnations of the Divinity. As it is clear in the text, the Spiritual Master, Eugênia-Aspásia, uses the word “Avatar,” to give an idea of the sacred importance and cyclopean dimension of the mission that Chico Xavier fulfilled as a medium, and as a spokesperson of the Sublime Spirituality to Brazil and abroad.
Light.
“Light… of the brightness of a wildfire.
Light… of the continuous explosion of a star.
Light… which consumes energy from the power station, fueled by the resources of Nature.
Light, lastly, that results from the evolutionary combustion of the soul, in advanced process of feeling and loving, serving and praying, systematically, in the course of years, centuries, eons…
Do not allow yourself to freeze in spiritual laziness.
It is seen as natural the struggle to learn and pursue careers, to win academic, professional or social laurels. Do not assume that the triumph par excellence requires less commitment: the spiritual fulfillment, the transcendence of what is concrete, the discovery and experience of the meaning and purpose of the existence, in the midst of the world’s chaos, at progressively higher levels of nobility and complexity, dignity and faith, lucidity and responsibility!”

Youth-old age
Rebuild your future with more hope. You were told that life would be clouded with bad auguries, surrounded by terrible possibilities for a gloomy, frightful tomorrow.
Renowned filmmakers have picture the eons that will follow with paints that are so gray, having no idea how ridiculous they will feel when the times that they have prophesied come.
There will be nothing of the murderous androids and much less of the intergalactic federations of feudal, if not tribal ways, with imperialist impetus. The future points toward the advancement of the human being’s humanitarian, transcendent feeling, and not toward a return to barbarism, as some frivolously surmise.
The best cinematographic productions of this kind will be considered bad comic books for children of the past, unlike some classics of cinematography that will always be admired for their timeless content, as well as the pictographic works, sculptured or architectonic in quality musicals, which challenge the centuries.
When looking forward, do not gaze at elderliness and illness. Take care of yourself, of course, so you have a healthy old age, but instead of focusing the mind on the inexorable decay of the shapes, of the vigor and of the liveliness, polarize your attention on everything you can gain, such as more ample, profound and genuine wisdom, experience and vision, which the time well lived favors.
Be like the oak, which, the older it gets, the greater it becomes, the more shade and fruits it offers to the passersby, and not like the grass, so green, but lasting no more than a few days. There are men and women-oaks, as there also are men and women-grass.
Stick to the lasting side of life, in its true aspects, in all that is undying, because it has a permanent value to humanity. Pay more attention to questions of the spirit and less to the expressions of the matter, and you will be happy, becoming even happier, as you get older.
Concentrate on the pursuit of knowledge, on the polishment of feelings, on the consolidation of character. Dedicate yourself to the good you can do, in your experiences of love, in your family, in philanthropy, building a work of public benefit or taking part in one that already exists. In doing so, you will be approaching yourself to the nature of the oak and distancing yourself from the nature of the grass.
The more mature you become, the happier your future will be. Senescence is for a greater well-being. Just as the unripe fruit does not taste good and is not yet fit for human consumption, in the same manner, the human mind was designed to achieve excellence in the advanced years of the body, a time when the empire of the instincts is less pronounced, and one can gravitate more freely toward the soul’s great conceptions and abstractions.
Obviously, when we speak of senescence, we do not allude to senility, to decrepitude, and all the diseases and degenerations concerning the dysfunctions of old age. You can be old without being sick and insane. This is what we refer here. The fullness of old age is well portrayed in the archetypal image of the wise old man or the wise old woman, as someone of advanced age, but entirely lucid and healthy.
So, be, you, the one who volunteers yourself for the best. Only those who are fixed on the worst of what characterizes the human being can presume that youth, with its conflicts, uncertainties and anxieties, is better than the middle and old ages.
Do not, thus, demonstrate such ignorance and immaturity, lack of intelligence and evolution. Only those who are here to be the objects of vain desires and the agent of momentary physical adventures can aspire to be young “forever”. There are much more satisfying desires to be attended to than the ones merely correlated with the physiological functions of the physical body.
There are far more inciting, exciting and ardent adventures than those that material world can provide. The experiences of culture, of art, of personal and professional fulfillment, of love, of creation in all spheres, of humanitarian service are much more gratifying than those that regard the body. And, most of all, while the experiences of plain physical pleasure pass, leaving emptiness and weariness afterward, the contents of the spirit’s experiences (including here those of the intellect) are indestructible, cumulative, and because of this, increasingly more satisfying and enriching.
Those who grow old and grouchy, bitter and pessimistic only show that they were a futile youngster, and worse: they still remain a slave to this futility, seeing the world through naive, simplistic lenses, dichotomized in good versus evil, youth versus old age, without understanding that elderliness is the end of a process, a continuum youth-seniority, which, if lived well, leads to a happy old age.
But, now, at whatever age you are — because the wise youngsters of today are those who were once wise old men or women — prepare your future, of this life and of the next ones, for a greater level of lucidity, of common sense, and understand that, in the blooming of the first years or in the fall of the last, wisdom is what defines the quality of life one has, since there are springs of youth turned into true hells of unnecessary afflictions, as there are serene and delicious autumns of old age like garden-antechambers of Paradise.
Choose your future by defining your present. Choose, always, wisdom, the option for the best.

Three pillars for happiness
“The most appropriate philosophy of life for each individual is the one that most includes the spirit of service, with joy and state of gratitude.
The service toward others is the purpose of existing.
Joy in service indicates a better attunement to one’s personal vocation.
Gratitude reveals an excellent level of devotional consciousness to God, in the act of serving Him-Her, in the person of our brothers and sisters of humanity.
This triad makes up the secret that unlocks the safe of happiness, in any circumstance in which a person may be.
If your existential context proves to be painful and challenging, there is no better way to dissolve the ill-being and to program, for yourself, a line of happier future events.
If you find yourself in a relatively good phase of events, there will be no more effective means to consolidate the structures of well-being and peace that, in a more permanent manner, create happiness and true fulfillment. ”

Disintegration of the karma
“ Misfortune is the materialization and disintegration of the karma.”
Masaharu Taniguchi.
Considering the maxim of the great creator of the Japanese spiritual stream of thought, let us take, however, a relevant caveat, so that one does not imagine that mere suffering has the ability to sublimate or dignify the creature. Only the learning and the transformation in fact add value to the soul.
Existential crises and setbacks, as long as they are properly addressed and administered, constitute windows of opportunity for the edification of the best, for the rectification of existential routes, for the transfusion of ideas and inappropriate feelings.
Not being adequately assimilated, however, the misfortunes may solely consist in a wide open door to even greater pains, often lasting centuries… until the careless person — who insists on the pattern of being victim, of control or of the vampirization of others — gets tired of their vicious attitude and, freeing themselves from the yoke of self-pity, disentangling themselves from the exhaustive and narcissistic focus on the “self”, start thinking, sincerely and profoundly, about others and about collective and timeless causes, which do not, directly, concern their meager, abject and tyrannical ego .
If the individual is not willing to act according to principles of the common sense, moral and justice, the opportunity to turn karma into dharma is lost. There are no preferred or privileged ones, in the hierarchical distribution of Divine Graces. There is, however, the despotic preoccupation of some — driven by unbridled egotism — to receive special favors, without deservedly earning them through systematic works for the Common Good.
Mothers, fathers, teachers and protectors can intervene in favor of their children and pupils, to the extent that the ones being helped show themselves in conditions to receive the aid. Notice that those who precipitate themselves into hells receive the intervention-rescue of their guardian angels, if they are in tune with love. If not, they will not even notice to be the focus of Heaven’s attention.
Many people despair, because, enclosed in the darkness in which they entangle themselves, and in the mud in which they wallow, they cannot see the Spiritual Light, which, in order to be perceived, requires from them a minimum of lucidity and maturity, as the disposition to see their own faults, and, above all, to fully acknowledge and take responsibility for their own destiny.
No one should think of themselves holders of special prerogatives over or in relation to anyone. Everything, in this universe of God-Perfect-Wisdom, is organized under a system of unfailing paradigm of justice. If the creature is not aligned with the essential laws of evolution, they will not be able to realize, in the gloom of their hopelessness, the help that Heaven grants them, because they will immediately lose the attunement and the deservingness to notice this movement of help. Instead of the help from Heaven, they will have the blessing-bitterness of the unveiling of infernal regions (which exist with Divine Authorization), so that they, through pain (since they were not able to do so through love), wake up from their moral and psychological addictions.
Those who do not respect nor revere mentors, those who are not grateful to friends who support them, those who do not recognize the merit of others, should not expect that the Sublime Domain of Life to pity them, because they will only receive what they have offered. Rest assured: those who only want to receive, without offering anything in return, will find a vibratory voice and a source of events, around their steps, reverberating and reiterating, systematically: “Give me more, give me more…”
