WHAT Spiritualism Is
It teaches personal responsibility.
It removes all fear of death, which is really the portal of the spirit world.
It teaches that death is not the cessation of life, but mere change of condition.
It teaches, not that a man has a soul, but that man is a soul and has a body.
That man is a spiritual being now, even while encased in flesh.
That as man sows on earth he reaps in the life to come.
That those who have passed on, are conscious – not asleep.
That communion between the living and the “dead” is scientifically proven.
It thus brings comfort to the bereaved, and alleviates sorrow.
Spiritualism is the Science, Philosophy and Religion of continuous life, based upon the demonstrated fact of communication, by means of medium ship, with those who live in the Spirit World.
It brings to the surface man’s spiritual gifts, such as inspiration, clairvoyance, clairaudience and healing powers.
It teaches that the spark of divinity dwells in all.
That as a flower gradually unfolds in beauty, so the spirit of man unfolds and develops in the spirit world.
Spiritualism in God’s message to mortals, declaring that There is No Death. That all who have passed on still live. That there is hope in the life beyond for everyone.
That every soul will progress through the ages to heights, sublime and glorious, where God is Love and Love is God.
It is manifestation, a demonstration and proof of the continuity of life and of the truth of the many Spirit manifestations recorded in History.
