Spiritualism is a way of looking at life, death, and the afterlife. Many spiritualist camps and churches exist around the country, and around the world. For those of you who are interested, Wikipedia listed these concepts accepted by Spiritualism:
1) 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.
2) Spiritualism is a Science because it investigates, analyzes and classifies facts and manifestations demonstrated from the spirit side of life.
3) Spiritualism is a Philosophy because it studies the Laws of Nature both on the seen and unseen sides of life, and bases its conclusions upon present observed facts. It accepts statements of observed facts of past ages and conclusions drawn therefrom, when sustained by reason and by results of observed facts of the present day.
4) Spiritualism is a Religion because it strives to understand and to comply with the Physical, Mental and Spiritual Laws of Nature, which are the laws of God.
5) A Spiritualist is one who believes, as the basis of his or her religion, in the communication between this and the Spirit World by means of mediumship and who endeavors to mould his or her character and conduct in accordance with the highest teachings derived from such communication.
6) 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.
7) A Spiritualist Healer is one who, either through one's own inherent powers or through mediumship, is able to impart vital, curative force to pathologic conditions.
8) The Phenomena of Spiritualism consists of Prophecy, Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, Gift of Tongues, Laying on of Hands, Healing, Visions, Trance, Apports, Levitation, Raps, Automatic and Independent Writings and Paintings, Voice, Materialization, Photography, Psychometry and any other manifestation proving the continuity of life as demonstrated through the Physical and Spiritual senses and faculties of man.
According to an article in Harmony Grove’s Newsletter, these are the tenets of Spiritualism:
1. We believe in Infinite Intelligence.
2. We believe that the phenomena of nature, both physical and spiritual, are the expressions of Infinite Intelligence.
3. We believe that true Spirituality is living by the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
4. We affirm that the identity of the individual continues after the change called "death."
5. We believe that communication with the so-called dead is a fact.
6. We affirm the responsibility of individuals to create their own happiness or unhappiness as they obey or disobey nature’s physical and spiritual laws.
7. We affirm the oneness of God in all life.
8. We believe that the doorway to forgiveness is always open to anyone, here or hereafter.
9. We affirm that prophecy and healing are Divine attributes proven through mediumship.
Areas of Discussion?
Reincarnation is one of the main areas of discussion within the spiritualist community. Some groups believe it occurs, while other do not.
