Hello eclairlunaire.
Spiritism is access to a world.
Like the Earth, which you know for having been born and lived there, it is a world full of wonders, dangers, loving people, and scoundrels.
Would you really want to be born on earth without a dad and a mom to protect and guide you?
Because that is what you will do in the spirit world.
You ask the question “should I or should I not” and you get the answer “you should”… There, I take issue. It’s up to you to choose. You alone, because it’s your life, it’s you who will bear the consequences of your actions. No one else. It’s your choice. Spiritism can be taken up as a secondary passion, something you practice from time to time… or it can become as obsessive as a career…
So it’s up to you whether it appeals to you, whether you truly want to direct your life toward this work. No one else will tell you whether you’re right or wrong. It’s the path you will walk, you and no one else.
We can only advise you based on our own desires, but it is up to us to satisfy those desires. It is not our place to project them onto you… I want to learn how to do that, so do it.
That said, all of that is nothing but moralistic considerations, and you can throw it all to the river.
For my part, if I were your teacher, I would tell you to “start by studying the theories of light beings.”
Believing or not is of no importance. Only your knowledge matters. It will prove valuable later on. For if your mind knows nothing, it will have great difficulty communicating with the invisible. Therefore, you must enrich your mind with knowledge, which experience will transform into wisdom, before you set out.
Note that the spiritualist, like the student fresh out of university, will first attract scoundrels and packaged dream-sellers.
We will seek to deceive you, take advantage of you, and lead you on; these are the first spirits you encounter if you are not properly prepared… the mocking spirits; the lost souls of the lower astral, the energy vampires… bad people, the dregs, the scum
The spirits of your ancestors, the angels, the beings of light, the fairies, the totems, are positive spirits to the human race. They love us, they constantly help us, and of course, we do not notice it.
It is them you need to contact. And for that, knowing their story and understanding who they are helps enormously. They are the ones who will gradually come to you, and teach you to ward off evil spirits, refuse their presence, and not listen to them whispering their lies, to distinguish truth from falsehood, and to recognize the friend from the masked enemy. But at first, they may have difficulty coming to you if you are poorly surrounded (many evil spirits release a kind of ink cloud, which makes it hard for friendly spirits to locate you).
Maybe you won't know who to call, and you may have some unpleasant surprises. And there, if we haven't ensured our protection, we risk a lot.
