The
philosophical and religious, or spiritual aspect of Spiritualism
has been written about extensively by many well known writers
in a large number of different countries. These books and pamphlets
provide the student with valuable guidance. Guidance on how proof
that the human personality survives death and all life is linked
through the power of the spirit, leads to a unique interpretation
of how human beings relate to one another, to all other forms
of life, to the universe and to that universal intelligence, generally
called God.
The philosophy and religion of Spiritualism shows that nothing
happens without a purpose and although it is not always easy for
individuals to identify, there is a definite reason for every
human life - long or short. Of all philosophical systems in the
world, Spiritualism comes closest to explaining in simple everyday
terms, why we are here and where we are going. What other religious
body for instance accepts that progress is eternal and open to
EVERY human being, irrespective of race, religion or colour? No
dire warnings such as "believe as we do or you perish"!
It
is true to say that not all members of the Federation subscribe
to the religious view of Spiritualism but that is a reflection
of the tolerance and broad base of our membership.
