Umbral

What is UMBRAL according to the Dictionary ? First of all Umbral is not a American or Portuguese word. It’s a Spanish word. So the meaning is :- IT’S THE THRESHOLD OF TRANSITION BETWEEN TWO ENVIRONMENTS. You can also say that is :- THE ENTRY POINT TO A INTERIOR – THRESHOLD What is UMBRAL according to Spiritism ? IT’S A TRANSITONAL PLACE WHERE NOT ONLY RESIDES INFERIOR BAD SPIRITS, BUT SPIRITS IN MENTAL CONFUSION, DEPRESSION, ADDICTIONS, SUICIDE AND ETC…

We can say that it is located in a parallel universe that occupies a space invisible to our senses, ranging from terrestrial soil up to several tens of meters high in our atmosphere How is the weather and time there ? The weather and climate conditions of the Umbral follow a pace equivalent to the land site where you are. When it is night on a city's it is night in their equivalence at the Threshold ( umbral ) The dense fog that covers the entire atmosphere hinders the penetration of sunlight and the moonlight. The impression is that the day consists of a long and dreary evening. At night you can not see the stars and the moon appears with the reddish color of thick clouds. His greatest population concentration is along the more populous regions of the globe. We found cities of all sizes, nomadic and solitary spirits that inhabit swamps, forests and cliffs

To some spirits it is a terrible and horrifying region. For others it‘s the place they choose to live. The vegetation varies according to region of the Threshold. Often consisting of little variety of plants. The trees are usually of low stature, with thick trunks and gnarled, low foliage. There are also areas deserted, rocky places, and places of vegetation composed of herbs and grass. You can find some types of animals and birds without beauty. On the Threshold are mountains, valleys, rivers, caves, caverns, cliffs, plains, marsh areas and all forms can be found on Earth Major rain storms and lightning occur through out the Threshold. Has an important function of cleaning the excess negative energy accumulated in the soil and air, making the environment less unbearable for its inhabitants.

Some cities will be more organized and cleaner than others. All spirits have leaders who are called by many names: Boss, Governors, Masters, Presidents, Emperors, Kings, etc. Normally those leaders are intelligent but they use their intelligence to the conscious practice of evil. They are students of magic, they know very well the nature and worship power, almost always hate the good and the good that can endanger their leading position.

The largest and most popular group are the suicide. These cores are found in mountainous regions, valleys and abysses. Because they are troubled spirits they are consider useless by the inhabitants of the Threshold and they are not accepted and not taken to cities around. The Valleys of Suicide are much visited by spirits good and bad. Good try to rescue those who want to get out because they sincerely repented of what they did. The bad spirits make their visits to make fun, to laugh or to mistreat enemies that are there in despair. It is not difficult to imagine a place with hundreds of thousands of people who committed suicide, all there together, not understanding what is happening, as they are not dead as they would like to be.

Man has total freedom to do anything bad or all good. When you make or build something bad ends up eroding and slowly, over years or centuries will learn that the only way to liberation from suffering and true happiness is doing good. Life on Earth and on the Threshold function as large schools where they learn in love or in pain Nobody is going to Umbral as a punishment. The person goes to the place that best fits their spiritual vibration. When you want to improve there is always someone to help. When you do not want to improve you’re in the place you chose. All who suffer in Umbral will be rescued by good spirits and taken for treatment to enhance and plans to live in higher vibrations (one day). There are many who are on the Threshold by willingly, taking advantage of the power and the benefits they believe they have in their worlds

This site help, like a hospital complex, is usually linked to a higher colony level. Here we find spirits missionaries from higher regions that work in helping the spirits who live in cities and regions of the Threshold and are seeking treatment or advice Viewed from a distance these STATIONS are points of light and beauty amidst the sad landscape, dark, cold and cloudy that make up the Threshold. The aid stations are beautiful places , bright, with large gardens, amid a bleak and sad picture.

6/6/2011 copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com 9 The Samaritans The Samaritans, which are also called missionaries, aid workers and messengers, are employees of aid stations they come out in caravans for Threshold and the crust of the Earth looking for spirits who ask for help. They dress up in capes and hats, beige or light brown and high boots. This way they can go through Umbral unnoticed. They are often invisible to the senses of the spirits of low vibration. Rare are the tours that do not occur in attacks on the Samaritans. They are attacked by evil spirits that can transform into hideous creatures in order to intimidate and frighten the caravans. The attacking throw rocks, sticks, mud, rotting matter and some are able to build weapons that do not make any effect to the Samaritans. To use defense is still protection networks and weapons that emit electricity. Upon being struck by lightning this kind of mood is a process similar to death, because it reminds all suffering now in his latest disembodiment. In fear, many spirits just trying to intimidate, and often turn away in despair

6/6/2011 copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com 10 There are many spirits that even in deplorable condition at the Threshold, prefer to remain where they are. This is not very different from that exist here on Earth. A portion of the homeless, beggars, the elderly and children remain in the streets by choice . They don’t like the shelters, cleaning, organizing. They prefer to live free of any law, rule, organization, through the misery. Unfortunately you can only help someone when they really wants to be helped.

6/6/2011 copyright 2006 www.brainybetty.com 11 CONCLUSION Umbral (Threshold) should not be consider as a place that only Bad Spirits resides. As we saw, there’s many spirits in different Vibration and for that reason in different cities, valleys and places. Of course it’s not our desire to go to Umbral and stay for a long time, that’s why we should always try our best now so we don’t have to suffer. Anyways we can say that Umbral it is a place to learn as everything and everywhere in the Universe. A lot spirits are there in Missions and by choice are helping others in order of helping themselves. We should always pray for the spirits in Umbral, pray for their understanding and for willing to change and evolve.
