UPDATES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

A Message from the President of

Spiritual Awakening Spiritualist Center

 

Dear Members and Friends,

Well, November is here! With just 54 days to Christmas (as I write) and the clocks going back one-hour on Sunday (November 2nd), the nights are getting longer as it gets darker earlier each evening. Winter is coming, and for those of you living in Florida you can look forward to cooler weather and the festive season. Now that I am living in South Carolina, I'm hoping for a White Christmas!

The words "Peace on Earth, Good will Toward Men" resounds from so many of us at this time when there is so much unrest in our beautiful world. Let us pray that there can be "Joy to the World" and that those who are in positions of leadership are touched by a sense of humanity and compassion for their fellow Men, Women, and Children as we move closer to a time of Thanksgiving.

On Thursday, November 27th most of us will celebrate Thanksgiving Day. For some, it will be a bittersweet time as we remember those we have loved and lost. Eternally grateful for having them in our lives, missing the physical but with the knowledge that they are safe and well again in the Spirit realm. Thanksgiving is a time to remember family and friends wherever they are.

I hope and pray that this Thanksgiving will be a Blessed and Peaceful one for each and every one of you.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Blessings, Love and Light.

Michael

SPIRITUALISM AND SPIRITUALISTS - What we Believe:

Featured Article Contributed by Rev. Al Potts.

Red Cloud Speaks Trance Teachings through Medium Estelle Roberts


Most of you fear death. You wonder what happens after death. Yet when you have a birth into your world. you rejoice. You smile and you say "A son or daughter is born into our house." You have a christening, yet when one is born through death into my world, in your ignorance, you cry, you mourn and you are sad. You know not why, but I will tell you. It is because you are ignorant of the truth.

Red Cloud tells us that death is like a dream and that you die every day, when you go to bed.  As your body relaxes your spirit becomes more active, as the spirit doesn't need rest, it doesn't require it, it is perfect in its being. Death of the human body is merely moving from an often painful body of matter   Pain does not belong in the spiritual levels, so into the next stage of your soul's spiritual development, it is confined to the finite stage of man's life of matter, and not to the infinite soul who leaves behind a defunct carcase of flesh.

So many wars of the past, and of today have taken soldiers, men and women quickly out of their physical bodies of matter into the next incarnation, Taken from a life span which has been shortened by the evils of confrontation. This is as we have been told before the same as your earth but without the restrictions of a physical experience, but filled with love. So the body of the soldier, broken through the experience of war, will be taken to the spiritual hospitals for recovery, for healing, a time which will be up to the individual as to how they find the change into the world of the spirit. This also applies to all who have suffered serious illness or the likes in your world of matter, in need of recovery, Once they are returned to a healthy mind, then they are free to move on to a world full of spiritual opportunities. the likes of which are unknown to our past incarnation.
In this new experience we have the choice to progress spiritually or stay at a stagnating level until we decide to change. The refinement of the soul is the important part of mankind's journey, and so we have the free will to make all of our decisions  as to which direction we take. The Astral level  is not something to be afraid of, for it frees us from the traumers and suffering of the plain of matter and welcomes us into the opportunities to move forward on the pathway to our spiritual home.

A prayer for all who have completed the physical stage of life.

Divine Spirit, I ask for your light to encompass this world and bring peace and harmony to all people. I ask that we finally live a spiritual life, and together make a world free of colour, creed and religious prejudice. I ask during this time and all the years to come until we are reunited with Thee, that Your love will enter every heart, mind and soul.


Rev. Al Potts.


FOOD FOR THOUGHT

John Burke has studied 1,500 people who died and came back.

Movie Link Below

John Burke has studied over 1,500 near-death experiences and found that many people report encountering a "being of light" that radiates unconditional love. These experiences often include panoramic life reviews, where individuals review their actions and choices in life. Common themes across these accounts include the belief in a God-like figure, often referred to as Jesus, and the realization that every moment and action matters. Burke's research suggests that these experiences reveal a vivid, beautiful world beyond our physical existence, challenging traditional beliefs about the afterlife and the nature of God.

What if death isn’t the end? In this fascinating episode, we explore real stories of the afterlife that will challenge what you think about God and eternity. John Burke, a once-skeptical engineer turned best-selling author, has investigated over 1,500 near-death experiences across decades. He joins Nick to share uncanny common threads from people who’ve died and returned- regardless of background or belief. From doctors and atheists to children and blind individuals, their experiences reveal something strikingly consistent: a vivid, beautiful world more real than this one, encounters with a warm “Light” radiating unconditional love, and panoramic life reviews that reveal how every moment and action matters.

You’ll hear stories of:

People seeing loved ones for the first time (even if they were born blind)

A woman who believed she was going to hell—until a desperate prayer changed everything

Why so many near-death survivors say the same three words: “God is love.”

This conversation is honest, curious, and uplifting—perfect for anyone wondering about life after death or searching for hope beyond this life.

 

 

SIMPLY DELICIOUS

 

Five Spice Pumpkin Bread Recipe:

Please click link HERE or picture to watch Video:

Ingredients
1 ¾ cup (225 g) all-purpose flour ?
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 ¼ teaspoon five spice
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
¾ cup (150 g) brown sugar packed
1 ¾ cup (345 g) 100% pumpkin puree
½ cup (100 ml) vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs room temperature
¼ cup (60 ml) milk


Instructions
1. Prepare the oven and pan. Preheat oven to 325°F, place your oven rack in the center of the oven, and lightly grease your 9x5 inch loaf pan.

2. Whisk dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and five-spice until combined.

3. Mix wet ingredients and sugars. In a second large bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and oil until combined. Then add the eggs, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.

4. Combine. Working in two batches, mix half of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until combined then mix in the rest of the dry ingredients until just combined. The batter should be smooth and thick with a few lumps.

5. Bake. Pour the batter into the greased pan. Bake for 65-75 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Let the pumpkin spice bread cool for 5 minutes before removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely
