SPIRITUALISM
AND SPIRITUALISTS:
Different
insights into Spiritualism's Philosophy and Beliefs
Featured
Article Contributed by Rev. Al Potts.
|
We
are living through difficult times, when our spirituality is
more important than ever.
Do
we do the right thing, or is it better to look for a greater
understanding as to why we reached this state in the first place?
|
Today,
the lack of people who resist conflict and put their trust
in those who would think of themselves as the Saviour of mankind,
shows the lack of belief and trust in the Universal Creator
that we call God.The Eternal power has given us free will,
but to understand the responsibility, is to use it wisely,
and never to the detriment of humanity. There are so many
religions today that feel that their belief is the only true
one and that their God is supreme and then leads their lives
by force.
|

|
Albert
Einstein said, "Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be
achieved by understanding." This seems like a compromise, however
as spiritualists we believe that compromise is meeting the objective
in a suitable compassionate way, and to understand the other
person's point of view. What are we doing to make situations
in our world reach a positive conclusion? Religion seems to
have taken a back seat when we should be letting those who would
try to make us take their direction. We have a great truth which
we have been ridiculed about for long enough, and it is time
that we put our trust in the Divine power, who we refer often to
as Our Father God, and leave negativity behind.
|

Ronald
Reagan was right when he said, "Peace is not the absence of
conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful
means."
We
are the guardians of this beautiful planet, and so are responsible
for making our world, and that includes all countries, as
the Divine Creator meant it to be. Let us join in prayers
for peace and acknowledge that prayer is a powerful tool when
we are truly trusting in the God Power, all things can be
achieved. Is everything permitted? I think not.

FOOD
FOR THOUGHT
|
If
mediumship is a gift, why don't more people have the ability?
|
The
question of why more people do not have the ability to communicate
with spirit is complex and multifaceted. While some may believe
that mediumship is a rare gift, others argue that it is an ability
that can be developed through practice and discipline. Here
are some key points to consider:
|
|
|
Natural
vs. Developed Ability:
Mediumship
can be seen as a natural ability that some people are born with,
while others may develop it through practice and dedication.
|
|
|
|
Gift
vs. Skill:
Mediumship
is often described as a gift, but it is more accurately viewed
as a skill that can be learned and refined over time.
|
|
|
|
Personal
Experience:
The
journey to developing mediumship involves personal experiences
and challenges, which can vary greatly among individuals.
|
|
|
|
Spiritual
Growth:
Mediumship
is a part of spiritual growth and development, and it requires
time, attention, and practice to become more aware of and communicate
with spirit.
In
conclusion, mediumship is not a gift that is universally available,
but rather an ability that can be cultivated and developed by
those who are willing to put in the effort and practice.
