En el mundo mayor

This document, titled 'En el mundo mayor' (In the Greater World), is a spiritual work psychographed by Francisco Cândido Xavier and attributed to the spirit André Luiz. It serves as part of the 'André Luiz' series, which details the experiences of the spirit in the spiritual colony 'Nuestro Hogar' and his observations of the interactions between the spiritual and physical planes. The book, translated into Spanish by Alfredo Alonso Yuste in 2010, was originally published in 1947. The narrative follows André Luiz as he accompanies an instructor named Calderaro on missions to assist incarnated and recently deceased souls who are struggling with various forms of mental and spiritual imbalance. The text emphasizes that the spiritual world is not a place of automatic rest or reward, but a realm of continued work, evolution, and service. It explores the concept of the 'mental house' and the brain as an instrument of the mind, arguing that mental disorders often have spiritual roots related to past actions, unresolved conflicts, and the misuse of free will. Throughout the chapters, the author describes specific cases of individuals—such as a murderer and his victim, a paralyzed child, and a young woman contemplating suicide—and how spiritual instructors intervene to provide guidance, healing, and opportunities for moral elevation. The book stresses the importance of love, forgiveness, and the 'law of cause and effect' in the process of spiritual recovery. It also addresses the role of mediumship, cautioning against the misuse of the term 'animism' to dismiss genuine spiritual communication and advocating for a mediumship rooted in love and service rather than mere intellectual curiosity. The work concludes with a focus on the 'Hogar de Cipriana,' a center for spiritual restoration in the lower regions, where spirits in the process of regeneration are helped to prepare for future incarnations. The overarching message is that the human experience, including suffering, is a necessary part of the soul's evolution toward a higher state of consciousness, and that the ultimate goal is the moral elevation of the individual through thought and action.
