What is Spiritualism?
Spiritualism is the
science, philosophy, and religion of continuous life based upon the
demonstrated fact of communication by means of mediumship with those who live
in the spirit world.
A Spiritualist is one who
believes, as part of his or her religion, in communication between this and the
spirit world by means of mediumship, and who endeavors to mold his or her
character and conduct in accordance with the highest teachings derived from
such communion.
A Medium is one whose
organism is sensitive to vibrations from the spirit world, and through whose
instrumentality, intelligences in that world are able to convey messages and
produce the phenomena of Spiritualism.
A Spiritual Healer is one
who is able to impart vital, curative force to pathologic conditions through inherent power or through mediumship.
Principles of Spiritualism
- We believe in Infinite Intelligence.
- We believe that the phenomena of nature, both physical
and spiritual are the expression of Infinite Intelligence.
- We affirm that a correct understanding of such
expression and living in accordance therewith constitute true religion.
- We affirm that the existence and personal identity
continue after the change called death.
- We affirm that communication with the so-called dead is
a fact, scientifically proven by the phenomena of Spiritualism.
- We believe that the highest morality is contained in
the Golden Rule: “Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye also unto them.”
- We affirm the moral responsibility of the individual
and that he makes his own happiness or unhappiness, as he obeys or disobeys
nature’s physical and spiritual laws.
- We affirm that the doorway to reformation is never closed against any human soul, here or hereafter.
- We affirm that the precepts of prophecy and healing contained in the Bible and all sacred writings of the world are divine attributes proven through Mediumship.
