| Teaching of Spiritualism |
| There
are many facets to the study of Spiritualism but at its core
is the belief, based on the teachings of spirit guides, evidence collected
through mediumship, and personal experience, that spirit animates
us all. We have a physical body now, but when depart this plane of existence that part of us that is spirit moves on. While still in our physical form it is possible to communicate with spirits outside our self. It is this creative animating force that unites all of mankind, one to another, while at the same time connecting us to that, which is beyond the physical. Many call the creative, universal spirit, God. How you choose to label the creative force is not as important as coming to know how it is at work in your everyday life. Guidance to the answers of life's big questions is always available, we need only to learn how to hear and trust in that connection. How and even if you decide to communicate with Spirit is up to you. Everyone has the innate ability to commune with Spirit, but not all of us develop this capacity. While for some, the sense of spirit is already sharp, for others it takes time and work to re-open the link. There are many ways for Spirit to get in touch with us when we need guidance, protection, solace or teaching. The methods range from feelings we call 'instinct' to something as profound as the manifestation of a spirit, or, even by simply walking through a door. Charleen Wilson, Calgary Since the beginning of time, Man has been searching for truth and understanding of his own self, and the reasons for life itself. His deep desire has made him try different approaches to the source of all Creation, as he knows that this is where all strength and understanding will be found. Spiritualism has been with mankind ever since questioning and reasoning first started. Spiritualism is the science, philosophy and religion of continuous life, based upon the demonstrated fact of communication through mediumship with those who live in the spiritual planes. It is a philosophy because it studies the Laws of Nature, both on the seen and unseen sides of life. It bases its conclusions drawn therefrom when sustained by reason and by results of observed facts of the present day. It is a science because it investigates, analyzes and classifies facts and manifestations demonstrated from the spirit side of life. It 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. Spiritualism is the inevitable need of a materialist world. Spiritualists are those who have accepted, as proven on evidence given through mediumship, knowledge and understanding, that the human personality and spirit survives physical death and communicates with those left on the earth plane of existence. We believe there is a hierarchy of Spirit beings, and that all spirits are a part of the unified consciousness of God. Rev. June Struthers, The Britten Memorial Church of Canada - Toronto Read more Top |
