Suicide
The one who gives in to suicide, as the ultimate solution for the anguishing problems of life, is completely wrong. Life is endless, it is an eternal asset granted by God to His children, which purpose is the continuous progress of human beings until they reach spiritual perfection. A suicide faces despairing situations in the spiritual plane, even more intense and painful than the ones experienced here on Earth. No one has the right of putting an end to his or her own life. The body dies, disintegrates, the spirit, however, will continue alive, atoning for its actions in compliance with the eternal and immutable divine Law. Moreover, in the subsequent incarnations a guilty spirit will face bigger and more afflictive problems which can even mark its new physical body with irreversible sequels, consequence of an unthoughtful behaviour. How many people now live painful existences, marked by a suicide committed in previous lives. The desertion of the organic life doesn't put an end to bitterness, on the

WHY SHOULD WE STUDY SPIRITISM ?
Many people today live stressful lives and are not interested in the fundamentals of existence. They prefer to worry about their businesses, their pleasures and their personal problems. They think that matters like "the existence of God" and "the immortality of the soul" belong only to priests, church ministers, philosophers and theologians. When everything in their lives is going well they seldom remember God. When they do it is only to offer a brief prayer or go to church on Sunday, as if these attitudes were merely obligations which everyone must fulfil in one way or another.For these people, religion is a mere social formality, something that everyone should do, nothing more. Mostly it is a matter of satisfying their conscience, in the hope of being in God’s good books. So much so, that many do not even hold a firm conviction of what they profess, having serious doubts as to the existence of God and the continuity of life after death.
However, when these people are beset

WHAT IS SPIRITISM REALLY ABOUT ?
Spiritism answers many fundamental questions, such as:
* Who am I ?
* What was I before being born ?
* What shall I be after death ?
* Why am I living in this world ?
* Why do some people suffer more than others do ?
* Why are some people born rich and others poor ?
* Why are some blind, crippled, mentally handicapped, etc..., while others are intelligent and healthy ?
* Why does God permit such inequality amongst His children ?
* Why is there so much misfortune in the world and why does sadness outweigh happiness ?
* Of three people travelling in the same car, which suffers an accident, one dies, one is seriously injured and the third person suffers nothing ? Where is God’s justice in this ?
* Why do some bad people suffer less than others who are good do ?
These are questions we all ask ourselves whenever we see so much inequality or endure so many different experiences during the tribulations of life on this planet.

INTRODUCTION
Even amongst those who call themselves SPIRITISTS, only a few really know Spiritism. The majority prefers to hear about it from others rather than study it for themselves. When referring to the SPIRITIST DOCTRINE, the only recognised and reliable sources of information are the works by Allan Kardec, who acted as codifier - a list of which is to be found at the end of the last page.
This page has been prepared because perhaps initially the reading of all of Kardec’s books might offer a daunting prospect for many who wish to know more about this philosophy. However, this in no way reduces the necessity of reading and studying all of these books, which together form the BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF SPIRITISM, if one really wishes to know the doctrine.
