The strange aspect about Francisco Candido Xavier's life is that fantasy insists to overlap the reality.
Chico Xavier is seen like a real-life fairy godmother, and fantasy determines the way to see his person.
His biography must only have pleasant aspects, even so dreamful.
The facts don't matter. Fantasy is "the reality". Chico Xavier should have only to be known like the wishful thinking wanted to be known.
Chico Xavier is associated to the virtues that he not necessarily had.
Charity? He didn't give any drop of his sweat to help the poor. He asked others to do that and got personal promotion with the work of other people.
Peace? He was very worried to appeal to the suffers to shut up and never complain, defending the idea that the late musician Marcelo Yuka, former O Rappa band member, defined as "voiceless peace" ("The voiceless peace / Is not peace, it's fear" - "A Minha Alma (A Paz Que Eu Não Quero)".
"Don't demonstrate your suffering to anyone", said Chico Xavier once at time, as he was appealing to the suffers to give a false impression that everything is fine.
Chico Xavier was a sickening reationary, being a enthusiastic follower of Theology of Suffering, a chain from the Middle Age's Catholicism.
But left-wing Brazilian spiritists insists to make a pretense "left-reputation" to Chico Xavier, working desperately with the wishful thinking.
This trick consists to unite the abstract ideas like "peace", "fraternity", "charity" and "love and dedication to the poor".
Then, it also consists to join these ideas with emotional concepts about left-wing thoughts.
The result is so comfortable, so pleasant and so happy. But it's unreal and has no logical sense.
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter. Chico Xavier is the only person that the biography must to be worked with fantasy.
His followers and supporters always be irritated and revolted about any hard revelation to show the dark side of Chico Xavier.
In some moment, an old woman exploded in revolt when she was warned that Chico Xavier supported the Brazil's dictatorship.
She was very irritated, but the revelation is real. Chico Xavier made violent comments against workers, peasants and homelesses.
Chico Xavier also asked to brazilians pray for the militarys, because the Brazil's dictatorship is working a "reign of love" to the future.
Wishful thinkings try to refuse the Chico Xavier's conservative status. "There's a fault from the obsessor spirits", they say, trying to confuse and convince anyone with these involving but dangerous words.
There's more logic to Chico Xavier have being a conservative man that the opposite theory.
The "progressist image" about Chico Xavier is a fragile conception of vague words and emotional allegations about left-wing causes.
The reationary image about Chico Xavier is so much realistic, because the conservative ideas have proves even in his own words.
There's a real problem about Chico Xavier being seen under the sight of wishful thinking.
It makes so much fantasies, trying to keep Chico Xavier associated to the best human virtues.
But he wasn't the sweetened man so much people think he was.
He was grouch, reationary, had medieval ideas and worked fake literature.
These was the qualities that aren't so good and pleasant.
Reality hurts everybody, but people insists to keep Chico Xavier in the reign of fantasy.
There's nothing so much anti-logic than making Chico Xavier as a fairy-godmother to adults and olders. Fantasy is not only a childish thing.
