The plurality of inhabited worlds

Ten sextillion, or 10, followed by 21 zeros. This is the estimated number of stars in the universe (the called by cientists as visible universe).These stars are grouped in 100 billion of galaxies.

Well, let's think a little bit. The whole universe was created by a superior inteligence. Why in the universe, it would be created to have only one little habited planet? It's more reasonable and logical to think that there are 
other habited planets.

That's what Jesus passed us when he said "In my Father’s House are many mansions". Let's take a look on what The Gospel According Spiritsm says on chapter 3:

THE DIFFERENT STATES OF THE SOUL IN ITS SPIRITUAL WANDERINGS
2. The house of the Father is the Universe. The 'different mansions' are the worlds which circulate in infinite space and offer the Spirits who incarnate on them dwelling places which correspond their progress.
Independently from the diversity of the different worlds, the words of Jesus also refer to the fortunate or wretched states of the soul in the spirit world. Conforming to whether the soul is more or less purified and detached from material lies, the ambient in which it finds itself will vary infinitely: in the aspects of things, in the sensations it feels and in the perceptions it has. While some cannot leave the ambient where they live, others raise themselves and travel all over space and the other worlds. While some guilty Spirits wander in darkness, there are others who have earned happiness, and these rejoice in a stale of shining brightness while they contemplate the sublime spectacle of the great infinity. Finally, while inferior Spirits are tormented by remorse and grief, frequently isolated without consolation, separated from those who were the object of their affections and punished by the iron gauntlet of moral suffering, the just Spirit, together with those he loves, enjoys the delights of an indescribable happiness. Also in that sense there are many mansions, although they are not circumscript or localised.


Next, I will post something regarding the categories of inhabited worlds.

What is the Spiritism?

The Spiritism is a philosophical doctrine with scientific basis, and moral implications. It was revealed by the spirits and codificated by the french professor Allan Kardec in the year of 1857. 


The five basic concepts of Spiritism are:


- The existence of Spirit and its survival after death.
- The reincarnation.
- The law of cause and effect.
- Communication between the material and spiritual world.
- The progressive evolution of the Spirits.


The basic doctrine of Spiritism ("the Codification") is defined in five books written and published by Allan Kardec:


The Spirits' Book - A philosophical work. It is considered the backbone of Spiritism, since all the other works comes from its principles.


The Mediums' Book - Demonstrates the moral and philosophical consequences from relationships between the material and spiritual.


The Gospel According to Spiritism - Religious and moral part of the Spiritist Doctrine. Teaches Christian ethics by commenting on key passages in the life of Jesus Christ.


Heaven and Hell - Allan Kardec presents the true face of the desired heaven and  the feared hell, but also the called Purgatory. Put an end to eternal punishment, showing that everything in the universe evolves.


The Genesis - Shows how the world was created, how the creatures appeared and how is the universe. It's the scientific part of the doctrine. Explains Creation, placing science and religion face to face.
