What is Spiritualism?
|
"...under
all circumstances, keep an even
mind"
A.J. Davis |
Our church is
affiliated with the National Spiritualist
Association of Churches or NSAC. From the NSAC
website:
Spiritualism is a common sense religion, one
of knowing and living. We accept all truths and
endeavor to prove their validity. Truths are
found in nature, in other religions, in
writings, in science, in philosophy, in Divine
Law and are received through spirit
communication.
Spiritualists believe that God or Infinite
Intelligence is ALL That Is, expressing through
all creation by love, light and law. Humanity,
the most complex of life on earth, reaches this
Divine Source through prayer, meditation,
listening to the inner awareness, and service.
Why service? Because every living thing is a
part of God, so as we serve life we also serve
the Higher Energies.
Life is consciousness - without consciousness
there is no existence. Consciousness is the
totality of one's thoughts, feelings, emotions
and impressions on the mind. The state of
thinking is how we create our consciousness.
Spiritualism teaches that through the Law of
Action/Reaction or Cause/Effect we take control
of our lives as we control our thoughts.
Positive thinking leads to happiness and assists
the individual to grow.

We cannot speak for other forms of Spiritualism,
but for us, it is more a life style than a
religion. Careful reading of the NSAC
Declaration of Principles will provide a
good overview of what we believe.
