Spiritual city of Nosso Lar was conceived without scientific basis

So much brazilians dream about to go to Paradise, like any common person.

But the brazilians have sure that Paradise "really exists" and it is called Nosso Lar ("Our Home").

The fanciful city was officially conceived by Brazilian Spiritism since Francisco Candido Xavier (aka Chico Xavier)'s book, just called Nosso Lar (Our Home), published in 1943.

The book consists to an alleged spiritual biography of Andre Luiz, a supposed doctor that should be living between the end of 19th century and circa the early 1930s.

Andre Luiz, according to this narrative, died by heart attack, during a home meal.

He was sent to a dark zone, a mixture of wasteland and a prehistoric swamp, allegedly for suicide.

The narrative mentioned that Andre Luiz, when he was alive, was addicted to alcohol, sex and nicotine.

Andre Luiz was sent, afterwards, to Nosso Lar, a lavish city which main building is a prominent hospital with a church inside.

Andre was hospitalized there and helped by some occupants, including the doctor Henrique de Luna and Lisias, who became Andre Luiz's best friend.

The book ended with Andre Luiz, Lisias and others being spirits to fly over Europe for objective to help people dying by World War II attacks.

Aftermost revelations denunciated that Nosso Lar was a plagiary from The Life Beyond The Veil, written by british reverend George Vale Owen (1869-1931).

The Life Beyond The Veil was published between 1920 and 1923 and, some years later, was published in Brazil by Brazilian Spiritist Federation (FEB).

The british book series mentioned an alleged spiritual world described by alleged several spirits, including an alleged mentor called Ariel.

The alleged brazilian spirit of Andre Luiz had attributed to his last previous incarnation to, at least, three personalities, two of them still currently famous.

These two was the famous scientists Oswaldo Cruz (1872-1917) and Carlos Chagas (1879-1934), both bacteriologists.


BRAZILIAN SCIENTISTS CARLOS CHAGAS, OSWALDO CRUZ AND FAUSTINO ESPOREL WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE "REAL IDENTITY" OF ANDRÉ LUIZ'S SPIRIT.

But there's so much problems about the death date of Oswaldo and Carlos, who weren't passed away in the early 1930s.

The less-known Faustino Esporel, doctor and sports manager, being a former president of Clube de Regatas Flamengo, was alleged to be "the real Andre Luiz", according to former Brazilian spiritist's member Luciano dos Anjos.

Faustino lived between 1888 and 1931, apparently as requested by Andre Luiz narrative.

But the suppositions are always doubtful, and Andre Luiz, as not being enough to be plagiarized from a british narrative, had evidences to be a ficticious character.

First: Andre Luiz was the name of a late Chico Xavier's brother.

Second: Andre Luiz could be a character created by Chico Xavier and FEB's president that time, Antonio Wantuil de Freitas.

The science fiction's aspects from Nosso Lar should probably inspire to Waldo Vieira's suggestions.

In 1943, Waldo Vieira was a teenager disciple of Chico Xavier, and he later became his partner until the Otilia Diogo's scandal, in mid-1960s.

Otilia Diogo made materialization's fraud, an illusionist spectacle which had Chico Xavier as an evident partner, but he was smartly innocented by fraud, in 1970.

Waldo Vieira split the partnership dissapointed to Chico Xavier's enthusiastic attendance in that event when Otilia pretended to be some materialized spirits, including the late Irmã Josefa.

In 1979, the Otilia Diogo's event's photographer, Nedyr Mendes da Rocha, accidentally proved that Chico Xavier was not deceived by Otilia and was not innocent, being so extroverted and excited like a person who was really inside the fraud backstage.

Back to Nosso Lar: what about the "spiritual city"?

The spiritual city was conceived by materialist beliefs, without scientific basis.

Allan Kardec always warned that the spiritual life exists, but the humankind on Earth still doesn't have any condition to suppose how the spiritual world really is.

Although it was written in the middle of 19th century, the Kardec's advice still makes sense in current days.

There's no any new about a scientific discover that should describe a possible spiritual world.

In Brazil, studies about spiritual life were damaged by the fanciful practices from alleged mediums, since Chico Xavier, which conceive the "spiritual life" by the fantasy perspective.

Nosso Lar gained a pretense map by alleged medium Heigorina Cunha, in a book alleged to be written by the spirit Lucius, possibly the same alleged mentor of famous Zibia Gasparetto.

The book, titled Cidade do Alem (The City After Death) and published in 1983, describes Nosso Lar as a "spiritual city" over the Rio de Janeiro's city.

But it's a fictional conception, not being valid scientifically.

The alleged spiritual world can be, possibly, the description of a dimension of material world, but it depends to rigorous researches that should confirm or refuse this theory.

The conclusion is that Nosso Lar is only a ficticious world, like any world in the fantasy or science fiction books. It's not real and there's no scientific basis that can support this conception, made by fanciful beliefs.
