As the Sunflower turns its face to the sun,

so Spiritualism turns the face of humanity to the light of truth.

Many people ask if Spiritualists believe in God. We believe in God or Infinite Intelligence, and that everything and everyone is a part of God.
 
We also believe in communication with those who have passed on. We are all energy, and as such, cannot be destroyed. Our spirit consists of our essence. It is who we are. It continues to live in the Spirit World and as a result is able to reach back and communicate with us. What a comfort this is to those who are greiving the loss of someone near and dear.
 
Spiritualism is a religion that teaches personal responsibility. Our 7th Principle states,"We affirm the moral responsibility of the individual and that we make our  own happiness or unhappiness as we obey or disobey Nature's physical and spiritual laws." In other words, what ever we put out there comes back to us in one way or another. The choice is up to us. We cannot blame God for what goes wrong in our lives as we have free will.
 
This not a new religion. Modern Spiritualism began in 1848 but humanity has believed in life after physical death since the beginning of man's time on Earth.
 
By definition, "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 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 Spiritualist Healer is one who, either through his own inherent powers or through his mediumship, is able to impart vital, curative force to pathologic conditions."
