Synopsis

The psyche is not trapped within individuals. It radiates around them, creating a field of perception that allows them to contact, through the senses, the environment and interact with each other, forming collectives with the objective of repairing actions which are capable of fulfilling them. Spiritism proved that the individual is not just a body, but a group formed by a spirit linked to an organism, through which it experiences the physical world. But the spirit, likewise, is not trapped within the body, radiating itself around the body and establishes energetic contact with other spirits, whether incarnated or not. The psyche is the set of organic and spiritual processes and functions, through which the individual knows that they exist, that they feel, and can act. The unconscious, that is, the set of contents that do not have the characteristic of consciousness, surpasses the mind and the brain, spreading itself, in a specific dimension, beyond the space-time continuous. The several unconscious’s interconnect themselves, exchanging information, which explains a series of phenomena that occur in people’s relationships, in society, in the family, and within the environment. Such phenomena have been known by the name "participation mystique", created by the philosopher and sociologist Lucien Lévy-Bruhl. This book describes and studies the participation mystique, establishing a connection between Spiritism and Analytical Psychology. I hope it will motivate the study of the invisible threads that interconnect all, and by which we are influenced and generate the collective development of our species.
