Go and give thanks to God the glorious task that He has entrusted to you; But attention! among those called to the Spiritism many go astray; so then, your path and follow the truth. Erastus (The Gospel According to Spiritism Mon - Chapter XX - item 4)

The Workers of the Lord Approaching the time when things will be fulfilled announced for the transformation of humanity. Blessed are All those who have worked in the field of the Lord, with disinterest and no other motive but to charity! Your days of work will be paid a hundred times more than was expected. Blessed are those that have said to his brothers: "Let us work together and unite our efforts, so that the Lord, upon arriving, find finished the work," because the Lord will say to them: "Come unto me, ye who are good servers ye knowest that impose silence on your jealousy and your strife, so that it does not harm should come to work! " The Spirit of Truth (The Gospel According to Spiritism Mon - Chapter XX - item 5)

Spiritualism . "Do not come to destroy the Christian law, but to carry it out" As Christ said: "Do not come to destroy the Law but to fulfill it," also says Spiritualism teaches nothing contrary to what Christ taught; but develops complete and explains in clear terms and to everybody, what was said only in allegorical form. Come meet at the predicted time, what Christ said and prepare the realization of future things. It is therefore the work of Christ, who presides as the also announced the regeneration that operates and prepares the kingdom of God on earth. Allan Kardec (The Gospel According to Spiritism Mon - CHAPTER I - Item 7)

In the work of unification The service of unification in our ranks is urgent but not rushed. An assertion seems to contradict the other. But not so. It is urgent because it sets the goal that we aim at; but not rushed because it is not for us to violate anyone's consciousness.  Let's keep the purpose of uniting, approaching, and understand and, if possible, establish at every place where the name of Spiritualism been brought to light, a study group, however small, of the works of Kardec, the light of Christ God.  Spiritism holds its essential aspects in triple configuration. Anyone to be restricted in their anxieties construction and production. Who afeiçoe science that cultivate their dignity, who devote themselves to the philosophy that you magnify the postulates and those who consecrate themselves to religion to divine its aspirations, but the base remains Kardec in everything and everyone, so that we will not lose balance on the foundations on which rises in the organization.  Teach, but do; believe, but study; advise, but to exemplify; gather, but feed.  It is essential to maintain Spiritualism, which was delivered by Divine Messengers Allan Kardec: without political commitments without religious professionalism without degrading personalisms without rashes conquest of fleeting earthly powers.  Allan Kardec in the studies, the musings, the activities in the works, so that our faith should not do hypnosis, whereby the power of darkness down on weaker minds, chaining them to centuries of illusion and suffering.  Allan Kardec is not only believed or felt, proclaimed or manifested in our flag, but sufficiently lived, suffered, cried and held in our own lives. Without this foundation, it is difficult to forge the Christian-Spiritist character that troubled world expects us to unify.  Jesus' love for all, for all truth Kardec.
