ABOUT ME

I'm a photographer: www.vitormaciel.com

I'm a calm and aventurous person.
I enjoy nature and extreme sports. Diving from watefalls is one my greatest pleasures in life! Love instrumental music and jazz festivals.

I admire people who treat others as they would like to be treated; who are spontaneous and sincere.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a christian spiritist. I study the spiritist doctrine, codified by Allan Kardec around 1857. It's all about the relations between the spiritual and material world, about laws of cause and effect and others, on the basis of reincarnation.

I believe in love and all it embraces.
It's a strong mix of forces that can dignify one´s conscience and improve human relations.

I believe in free will. I know all is allowed to us, but not everything is convenient for our peace of mind and health. Keeping inner peace and balance is the goal.

I believe in life beyond life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

. When I was in Leipzig, Germany, I visited the house where Schumann lived but it was closed, unfortunatelly. The first floor of the house served as a children's school. When I saw a beautiful woman entering there, I asked her if she could help me to get the museum open to me, as "a brazilian music lover who got there just to see it!". Well, she talked to the director and got me a special VIP visit.
Who was she?!
-> The daughter of Grand Duchess Kira Kirillovna of Russia.
Yes, I was served by russian royalty, my friends. What an honour.

. I also visited the homes of Bach, Wagner, Handel, Mozart, Strauss... the castle where Martin Luther translated the Bible...

. I recorded a tv comercial for a brazilian university, using parkour movements. You can watch it by clicking this link:

. I'm a spiritist person.
Spiritism is the ensemble of principles and universal laws, revealed by superior spirits, brought to light through the work started by the french pedagogue Allan Kardec, in the XIX century.

It is, at the same time, an observation science and a filosofical doctrine.

As a practical science, it consists in the interchange that can be stabilished with the spirits; as a filosofy, it embraces all the moral consequences that results from these relations.

Spiritism is a science that deals about the nature, origin and destination of the spirits, and about it's relations with the physical world.

"Born, live, die and be reborn again, always progressing, as is the law." - Allan Kardec
