Reincarnations, the infinite.

Chapter VII - Between Incarnations

It was just another day of work in the spiritual plane, and let me tell you, if you think you've seen it all or that you're crazy, brace yourself! Because it's going to get worse from here on! I'll tell you a story about how I ended up here:

I had to take a quick trip to the world of the incarnated, more precisely to the municipal town hall of São Paulo to solve a little problem. I entered the large room and saw there, sitting and slouched in a huge chair that resembled the throne of an ancient king, a man who had once been austere but now appeared almost lifeless. I counted four dark figures attached to him, sucking his energies. Oh! I forgot to mention, I'm a spirit, like those figures in front of me, but not necessarily the same—we belong to very different classes! There were some incarnated people, that is, alive, there too. But it didn't matter now; on this side of reality, what matters is the mission I came to perform. I flew quickly, making my materialized overcoat sway like the wings of an angel, positioning myself in front of the spiritual aggressors, saying as I extended my hands:

– I kindly request that you stop tormenting this poor man...

– Nonsense! He is a corrupt politician! CORRUPT! We will continue here until he discarnates! Go away! – one of the evil figures replied furiously.

I gave a slight smile. I know I shouldn't, but I like it when they don't cooperate right away. It allows me to express myself in the artistic way I like to handle these things. So, in a swift motion, I pulled, or rather materialized, a katana—a samurai sword—from a sheath attached to the back of my overcoat. In the best style of action movies or superheroes that I loved when I was incarnated, I caused a look of terror on the faces of the creatures there. Still, the one who responded rudely and seemed to be the master among them said to the others:

– Finish off this so-called light spirit and drag him to the abyss!

– No!!! Can't you see he's the DEMON HUNTER?!!! – one of the other figures responded fearfully.

– You ignorant fools, that's just a legend! Go on! What are you afraid of? You're already dead! – insisted the master of those poor ignorant spirits.

With these last words, the figures convinced themselves and jumped to attack me, albeit hesitantly. With no alternative, I engaged in combat with them. As I mentioned before, I confess that I liked it... Alright, I know... It's a sin and blah blah blah... But most of the time when I approach these lower spirits, they run away like the devil fleeing from the cross. It had been a while since I had any action like this in my "spiritual life." Most of the time, I end up doing rescue work for newly discarnated beings who are still confused about their current situation.

During the fight, which I could describe freely, but I think it's better not to, leaving it specifically to your imagination, I'd like to emphasize just one interesting moment—it was a true cinematic scene. During the fury of the battle, the incarnated people continued to act normally; after all, they couldn't see "ghosts"! But a young lady opened the gigantic windows, complaining:

– My God! How dark and stuffy it is in here. This is only worsening the mayor's condition...

At that moment, the "talkative" figure flew out the window after my well-aimed kick to the middle of its chest. Two others fled, and the one who remained, bewildered by everything, shrunk into a corner, frightened and embarrassed by the beating he took, trembling as he realized he was indeed in the presence of the "demon hunter."

– For God's sake! When will you evolve??? Your childish and unorthodox methods scare the folks up there. – responded a lady, surrounded by a white light and with a stern yet "grandmotherly" demeanor, that you know you can always trust...

– Mrs. Débora! What a pleasure to see you here so promptly. Did you come to bring the medicine to lift up the mayor there? I'm sorry, but my crazy methods sometimes work! I just recruited one more for our team! – at that moment, I extended my hand to the figure that was cornered in the room. Despite being terrified, I felt that he was touched and had the will to evolve and get out of the situation he was in. Slowly, he took my hands and stood up, asking for forgiveness and praying that God would also forgive him.

Mrs. Débora works in the same function as me, being a "rescuer" in the spiritual world. She establishes a connection between incarnated and discarnated beings on Earth, whether they are sick, newly discarnated, or incarnated haunted by spirits lacking the necessary knowledge to evolve, mostly those who do not accept death.

My colleague stayed there attending to the needy, and I realized that the other spirit acting all tough was still in the street, even after I had thrown him away the way I did. I jumped from the balcony to meet him, saying with a smile:

– Do the same as your friend there! Come to the bright side, brother.

– Cursed, fell into my trap! Do you think all this is a joke? Playing the superhero, paraphrasing movies and characters from the world of the incarnated? Today, I drag you into the abyss where you will remain until the end of time! – grumbled the malevolent spirit.

At that very moment, a horde of spirits like him appeared out of nowhere. It was a fierce battle. I was astonished by the quantity and how he had the ability to organize and attack so directly in that way. I had never seen anything like it. I confess that I felt a twinge of fear run through my spiritual body, the perispirit, but throughout the exchange of punches and kicks, I remembered my favorite Psalm from the Bible:

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for HE is with me."

At the end of the battle, already tired from using all my spiritual energies to send those countless spirits back to the abyss, I heard, somewhat disbelievingly:

– Wow, that's cool, this movie they're playing around here! Look at the choreography of the guy in the overcoat!

– I looked back intrigued and surprised to see that young incarnated man staring at me. I couldn't believe how the coincidences of destiny were just confirmed because they talk a lot about you up there, dear Eduardo, or rather, Eddie, as you like to be called. Well, this and other things are what normally happen between one incarnation and another when you're not on the earthly plane. All the action takes place here, behind the scenes. Come, I'll accompany you to the spiritual center because we have important matters to discuss. In the meantime, I'll continue my story...
