SPIRITUALISM AND SPIRITUALISTS - What we Believe:

Featured Article Contributed by Rev. Al Potts.


In this somewhat troubled world, 2025 has seen so many conflicts due to man's ignorance of the right to accept another's point of view. I read that there are about 4,000 religions in our world, some come from ancient traditions in native tribes, often founded on God's Natural Laws. Nature is built into their lifestyle and they concentrate all of their energies on what nature provides for them in healing plants and natures way of warning of changes to come. Often dismissed as unintelligent, ancient tribal offerings from the past, they more than often echo the modern age beliefs of such as we spiritualists. 

King Charles III in his Christmas message from Westminster Abbey on Christmas day spoke of FORGIVENESS  being needed in our world today where conflict is still going on, even in this holiest of days.

Each one of us needs to take a long slow look at what we have accomplished, or not this past year, and ask if we were well intentioned when voicing our opinions. The most difficult thing is to admit to our failings and pluck up the courage to be the first to apologies. Christmas should be a time of bringing families and friends together in a celebration of peace, joy and togetherness, remembering our spiritual values of "Peace on Earth, Good Will to All Men."  Free Will should also teach each one of us to think before we  open our mouths, and look to a compromising solution to any problem. Nothing is too bad that we cannot find a way to solve the situation in a kindly way, and before speaking ask your soul for inspiration so as to respond to the problem in a more positive and acceptable way. Inspiration comes from the inner self and is available to all of us if we decide to cast aside the negative answer and dwell on the positive prompting from the soul. Everyone has the real him/her, the soul within, but few bother to seek that help when a bad situation arises. At this time, when we have spent time celebrating the birth of a child, born to set mankind free from often impulsive human outbursts, let us now consider what possibilities lie within our physical frame, and give ourselves the ability to avoid what could be the inevitable.

There are two words that describe the possibilities of our response, the first being "Obsession" the second one "Possession." Obsession is a negative power that is likely to last for many years, as the person cannot let go of the situation which caused the problem in the first place. Possession, when we seek the truth is the natural answer to all problems, found within. Truth cannot be changed as it is constant and will always take away the need to posses.
In the coming days when a new year opens the possibilities of new beginnings, let us pray that we will be more loving and compassionate towards those who would make this wonderful world accept their negative demands, and wholeheartedly repel all that is not acceptable in God's sight. This world was given to us by that Power that we call God, so as custodians, may we strive to leave this world in a much better place than we find it now. Have a Happy and constructive New Year.


Rev. Al Potts.

 

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

 

Many spiritual teachers believe that 2026 will be a year of collective awakening. They suggest that humanity is moving towards a higher state of consciousness, where more people will seek deeper spiritual connections and truths. This shift could bring about a change in how we view ourselves and our place in the universe, leading to more compassion, unity, and understanding.

2026 is believed by many spiritual teachers to be a pivotal year for collective spiritual awakening. As humanity continues to search for deeper meaning and connection, more people are expected to explore spirituality beyond traditional religious frameworks. This shift could lead to a greater focus on mindfulness, meditation, and practices that cultivate inner peace and awareness.

A growing number of individuals may experience heightened intuition, vivid dreams, or even synchronicities that challenge conventional perceptions of reality. This awakening is seen as a shift from ego-based thinking to a more heart-centered consciousness, emphasizing compassion, empathy, and interconnectedness.

Additionally, ancient wisdom and esoteric teachings are likely to resurface, influencing modern spirituality and bridging the gap between science and mysticism. This could lead to an increased interest in practices like energy healing, astrology, and exploring multidimensional experiences such as past life regression or contact with higher consciousness. As more people awaken, a collective consciousness shift may occur, leading to societal changes rooted in love, unity, and harmony.

Numerology: The Power of 1

Here’s the fun part: 2026 adds up to the number 1 (2+0+2+6 = 10, and 1+0 = 1). In numerology, 1 symbolizes new beginnings, leadership, and independence. It’s the number of pioneers and trailblazers. This suggests that 2026 could be a year of fresh starts, bold decisions, and individual empowerment. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to start something new, this might just be it!

So, What’s Really Going to Happen?

The truth is, no one knows for sure. But the buzz around 2026 is intriguing. Whether it’s a spiritual awakening, cosmic shift, societal transformation, or just another year, the possibilities are exciting. One thing’s for sure—change is constant, and how we adapt to it defines our journey.
