Main teaching points of Spiritualism

Because Spiritualism is a science, a philosophy, and a religion, it is a religion of self-mastery, consolation, joy, and most importantly a religion of knowledge not belief.

Spiritualists believe that there is an intelligience which is greater than the human mind can conceive, but they go further and say that they know that there is an Infinite Force working in this vast universe, of which we are all a part.

Here are some main teaching points of Spiritualism:

  • We believe in God. (sometimes also referred to as Infinite Intelligience)
  • We believe that God is all there is.
  • The spark of divinity dwells within each individual.
  • Man is a soul, animated by spirit, occupying a body with a mind to serve him.
  • Life is Eternal. Death is not cessation of life but a change of condition.
  • Personality continues after the change called death.
  • Those who have passed over are not sleeping but are awake and conscious.
  • Spiritual progression is eternal and infinite.
  • Communication between all planes of existence is a reality.
  • We affirm the divine right of individuals to seek the truth within their own hearts.
  • We believe in personal responsibility and that individuals create their own reality according to Natural Law.
  • The innate gifts of mediumship and healing are expressions of God's love.
  • The development of receptivity and sympathy together with the manifestation of love and kindness in one's daily life leads to true success. (Love thy neighbor as thyself.)
Some of the above points are part of a Declaration of Principles set forth as statements of spiritual truth by Spiritualists.

The author H. Gordon Burroughs does a good job summing up Spiritualism's truths in his book Becoming a Spiritualist:


"We know that God lives; we know that our friends live; we know there is a world to which we are going; we know we are to become a part of the angelic throng that can return, though usually unseen, to loved ones left behind; we know we are going to the state of consciousness that we have created through our own effort. We also know that no soul is lost in God's kingdom; that the door to reformation is never closed; that though we may wander and suffer much, somewhere and somehow we must find our way back to God. He is ever-ready to welcome us, this unseen God, who is not a person, but Law, intelligiently manifesting, creative in its activity."
Because I am a Spiritualist medium, you will find many of the above concepts discussed in my workshops & classes, mediumship readings, teaching consultations, and other blogposts.

Many of you may also share these beliefs and express them as conscious truths in your own life. As you experience this physical human existence, I encourage you to attune yourself to Infinite Intelligience, to higher thinking, to prayer, and to your spiritual aspirations by listening to the truth within the infinity of your soul.

Flashes of light

I am a medium , so I 'see' things. *smile* Well, every now and then, I see a small light. (And I don't mean an orb or a light flying around the room like Tinkerbell.) I am talking about a small pinprick of light that remains stationary and lasts for 2-3 seconds. It resembles a star from the night sky, albeit a very miniature one. This little 'flash of light' is a spirit. Sometimes I see a 'flash of light' (or a miniature star) around clients during readings --- either near the client's chair or in another part of the room. Also, I remember seeing them in a museum, on the trail in the woods, here at home, and at church. When I see that pinprick of light, I focus on asking the spirit to provide me with more information and to share their essence . Much like seeing spirit in side vision , it's a way that we can perceive those in spirit. These flashes of light are just another way for spirit loved ones to communicate that they are with us. In fact, some...

Timeframe for spirit contact

Q: My mom just died unexpectedly last week. Is it too soon for me to try to make contact with her through you? I vaguely remember someone telling me that they're not "available" right after they pass? Is there a general timeframe? Please let me know. Thank you. A: There is no official wait time before establishing communication with a spirit loved one. I have noticed some spirits are ready to communicate immediately and other spirits take longer. Some mediums suggest a six month time period. I feel this is a good timeframe for many clients because by then they have processed some of their grief and are not in a desperate space. There is a difference between being ready and being needy. It just depends on the client and the spirit. Trust your own soul regarding this. When you are ready, you just know. What a blessing it is that you know you will connect with your mother's spirit in divine right timing and that love never dies. If you have a general question whose answ...

Your job during a mediumship reading

If you are the person who is receiving a mediumship reading and desiring spirit contact, you have a very important job --- CONFIRMATION. This means confirmation either by your own personal knowledge or thru the personal knowledge of another person known to the spirit. During the course of the mediumship reading, you can confirm the information that you know to be true. And some information may require validation after the reading with friends or other family members who are privy to this certain info. Here are some examples of ways in which a spirit may try to validate who they are: The spirit's personality traits or physical characteristics may be described. This is part of what I call the Essence of Spirit . Most spirits are willing to share how they passed with the medium. Sometimes the spirit will give names very clearly or just the initial. Often spirits will give important dates of reference to further validate themselves. They have been known to mention other family members,...
