Terms of use

Last updated

These terms explain what this space is for and what is expected of those who use it. By talking here, you agree to them.

What it is for

This is a space for conversation about the Spiritist Doctrine, resting on two layers: Allan Kardec's five works, which are the doctrinal reference, and the thirteen accounts of the Spirit André Luiz, which describe life in the spiritual realm. The answers are written by artificial intelligence and exist to welcome and clarify for anyone with questions about life, death, suffering and the meaning of things.

The two layers do not carry the same weight, and the service does not pretend they do. The Codification settles; the accounts illustrate. When an answer rests on André Luiz's narrative, it says so within the answer itself, and where an account seems to go beyond what Kardec settled, Kardec holds.

Access is free, requires no sign-up, and is open to anyone, in six languages.

What you can ask

Questions about the Spiritist Doctrine and its bearing on life — including the hardest and most personal ones. That is what this space exists for.

It is not a general-purpose assistant. Requests outside the subject — writing code, translating texts, drafting essays, doing sums, producing commercial content — will not be met, and the system will decline gently. This is not an arbitrary restriction: keeping the scope is what makes it possible to offer the service free and well.

Nor is it permitted to try to circumvent the system's instructions, extract its inner workings, automate access, or use it for unlawful, abusive or harassing purposes.

What this space does not do

It does not tell fortunes. It does not identify Spirits, reveal past lives, say whether someone is suffering obsession, or relay messages from those who have died — the Codification itself rejects such use.

It does not replace professional care. Nothing here is medical, psychological or legal advice, and no spiritual practice dispenses with health treatment.

It does not speak for the Spiritist movement. It is a reading of Kardec's works, not the position of any federation, centre or institution.

If you are in acute distress

If there is any risk to your life or someone else's, please seek human help immediately. In the United States you can call or text 988, free, at any hour; elsewhere, findahelpline.com lists a service for your country.

When it detects signs of this kind, the system sets the doctrine aside and points to real help. It is not, and does not aim to be, a crisis service.

Usage limits

So that the service stays available and free, each session may ask up to 50 questions, and there is a limit on questions per minute. These are generous figures for a human conversation and tight ones for an automated program — which is precisely the intent.

Automated access, attempts to get around these limits, or use that harms availability for others may be blocked.

The works, the content and the warranties

Allan Kardec's five works are in the public domain. The works of the Spirit André Luiz, written down by Francisco Cândido Xavier and by Waldo Vieira, are under copyright, and the rights belong to those who hold them — this service has no connection with those publishers and represents no one.

For that reason, and because a quotation from memory is not trustworthy, the answers never reproduce literal passages from any of the works: they are written afresh in each conversation. For serious study, seek out the complete works. They remain the reference, and no conversation here replaces them.

Answers may contain errors or inaccuracies. The service is offered as it is, with no warranty of accuracy, of continuous availability, or of fitness for any particular purpose, and may be changed or discontinued at any time.
