According to the doctrine of Spiritist Religion (Spiritism), the concept of Plurality of Inhabited Worlds it consists in the existence of several worlds in the Universe that shelter life similar to Earth, but with different degrees of evolution.
The incarnation of spirits is made through different conditions of worlds, from the most primitive and wild, even the most evolved, being the Earth considered a transitional planet, between the primitive world and the ideal spiritual.
classification of worlds
- Primitive worlds: Primitive races and barbarian nations inhabit these worlds. There is no notion of moral sense or spiritual peace.
- worlds of atonement: are the planets where evil predominates. Earth is part of this category, where spirits are still imperfect, but they are beginning to show evolutions in terms of their moral sense and desire for peace.
- regenerating worlds: are worlds in defects like hate, pride and envy no longer exist. The spirits are getting ready to move between the world of expiations and the world of happiness, having to face some tests during the permanence of life in this world.
- Blessed Worlds: are worlds where more evolved spirits live. Life is longer, there are no diseases, pests, wars, famines or any kind of evil.
- Heavenly or Divine Worlds: are worlds where goodness and happiness prevail, with no room for any kind of evil. They are inhabited by purified spirits.
religious plurality
Religious plurality must not be confused with religious diversity.
Religious diversity or variety is defined by the existence of different cults and different forms of religion in a single space. Whereas, religious plurality is understood as a philosophical thought that claims to be all kinds of true and valid religions.
For religious plurality, all religious beliefs are true as long as they pursue the same goals: heavenly good and soul happiness.
To accept the idea of religious plurality, you do not need to be a religionist, as this is considered a religious philosophy and not a religion in itself.
