Jornada Espiritual: Os Problemas de um Casal no Umbral

It's night in the city of São Paulo, and we find this couple, of excellent financial condition, sleeping in their separate beds. She is 35 years old, he is 45. A supernatural-looking thread leaves the man's body, rising and disappearing through the ceiling of the room.

We follow this thread, the so-called silver thread, an energetic conductor that connects the spiritual body to the physical body, to find this spirit deployed in a brothel located on the astral plane, in the middle of the Umbral. A dark place, full of smoke and drinks, where sad fallen creatures, incarnate and disembodied, many with their perispirit severely damaged by the low vibrations of the place, plunge into the madness of the most depressing passions. At ease in this environment, we see the husband's spirit, entertained by the dark beings of the place.

During the day, he is a decent and respectable figure in São Paulo society. But at night, his spirit is freed, seeking places like this to vent his repressed sexual desires. He says he's an unhappy man with his wife, who, according to him, doesn't love or understand him.

She denies him care, affection, love and sex. He refuses to betray her when I wake up for fear of society's reactions, but he does it here, every night, unfolded in his sleep, because he needs to satisfy this hunger that consumes him. Back to the couple's bedroom, this time we follow the thread that comes from the sleeping wife.

It also unfolds during sleep, night after night. We arrived in an open area. Alone in the landscape, we see an old building, the mental projection of a convent of Carmelite nuns.

Many of these nuns, who spent their physical lives imprisoned in cubicles, forgotten about the world praying and fasting, continue to do the same after death. They are like prisoners, only they are the ones who imprisoned themselves. They are their own prison guards.

Even though they are disembodied, they still believe that they can reach Christ through their complete renunciation of a normal and productive life. But this has consequences. On this path, they will never conquer the paradise they dreamed of and still dream of.

And it is in this place that we find the wife unfolded. With the simple clothes of a sister of charity, her thoughts are distant, meditating on her husband. In her past life, she was a Carmelite sister.

Now, married, she cannot accept her husband sexually, and only feels complete here. She loves her husband, but feels a deep repulsion for the physical sex that her partner craves . She is a very ancient spirit, with a long history of sexual and moral purity, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, where she was a vestal virgin.

Before incarnating together in this existence, she made a commitment to help spiritually elevate her partner, and she can only do so by preventing him from giving in to his sexual compulsions and losing himself. Your husband still has a strong connection with the subject. His spirit was forged in the circuses and armies of Rome.

If she does not change her path, she will soon be called upon, perhaps even in this earthly life, to rescue her escape from a commitment made before this incarnation. Leaving her husband to his own devices, an easy target for dark spirits from the past who want him back in their midst, will bring karmic consequences for her. But this spirit seems irreducible.

This story can be read in the book Sex Beyond Death, by Ranieri.
