Spiritualism is a religious and spiritual belief, which blends ancient wisdom and contemporary thought. References to Spiritualism have been found for centuries in religions, literary, and historic writings. Spiritualism, through mediumship, proves that life continues after the death of the physical body.

 

All Spiritualists recognize God as the Universal Source, the Infinite Spirit. We believe that each of us is an integral part of that God Power. Our philosophy, drawn from this understanding, teaches that the pathway to spiritual growth and positive living comes from taking personal responsibility for one’s own behavior. We no not believe that anyone needs to atone for another’s transgressions. With this firm underpinning for our belief, we are able to dismiss the concept of the punishment of an everlasting hell.

 

We believe that following death, all souls progress onward to the Spirit World where teachings for spiritual advancement continue. Believing that evil is human- made, we realize that souls entering the Spirit World who have lived negative lives must cleanse their consciousness before they can experience the peace and beauty of the spiritual environment. Guidance is always available for those who seek to release their negative experience and well in developing their spiritual pathway.

 

An integral part of the understanding of Spiritualism centers on the repeated evidence of communication between our world and the Spirit World. The means by which such intercommunication takes place is called mediumship. The individuals who are able to make contact with the Spirit World are known as mediums. The descriptive information, which the mediums receive from Spirit, perhaps of a relative, friend, teacher, neighbor, or even an advanced Spirit Guide, identifies that the life force is still intact, that the Spirit is still alive. Frequently the communication is accompanied by a message of encouragement or direction. Such knowledge of continuous life can bring needed support during periods of bereavement, crisis, or personal search.

 

Healing is another very important dimension of our belief. We accept the healing power of God as the ultimate healing force. While we recognize the importance and value of medical treatment and other health care services, we believe that the most effective healing benefits are derived from combined spiritual and physical inputs. Spiritualism, a religious and spiritual belief, offers a realistic and dynamic path for positive living.

 

 

 

Spiritualism is an Ancient Religion.

 

Traces of Spiritualism’s beliefs can be found in virtually all religious pathways; for example, the “Golden Rule”, a Supreme Intelligence (God) the creator of all, healing by the laying on of hands, the continuity of life, among many others.

Spiritualism Spiritualism is a religion, a philosophy, and a science of learning to live in harmony with Natural Laws, as revealed through the study of scriptures, the sciences, and communication with those living in the spirit world. We believe the statement of Jesus, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father.” (St. John 14:12) Spiritual Unfoldment Spiritual Unfoldment is a pathway to spiritual growth and enlightenment.
