Nova Jerusalem: Doutrina da Floresta

Sebastião Mota de Melo, been born in the rubber plantation Monte Lígia, in 1920, demonstrated propensity to make astral journeys (out of body experiences) and to have visions of enchanted beings of the forest since the early years. He started his healer’s career in the remote area of the Vale do Juruá, and he developed himself as a medium in the Spiritualist Doctrine through his godfather, Oswaldo, who was a Kardec adept.
