Spiritualism is a Philosophy, Science and Religion based on the belief of the continuous existence of the Spirit or Soul, even after physical death and the ability to communicate with them.
Aspects of this Philosophy date right back into the very early ages of mankind's history. Emma Harding Britten, the most renowned and most respected advocate and proponent in the early Modern Spiritualist Movement proposed principles that applied to Spiritualism and it is a modern form that is followed by our Spiritualist friends today.
The majority of Spiritualists are people who at some time were part of an orthodox religion and discovered that the knowledge presented was very limited and left them with many questions.
Spiritualism has "Seven Principles" that act as guidelines. They are open to interpretation to adapt and apply to each person's particular circumstances.
1. The Fatherhood of God
2 The Brotherhood of Man
3. The communication of spirit and the ministry of angels.
4. The continuous existence of the human soul
5. Personal Responsibility
6. Compensation and Retribution for all good and evil deeds done on earth
