The Krystal Light Centre is a centre of learning and understanding the values of Spiritualism and therefore for those that may need to understand what we are about I will do some posts to help you know who we are and what we do
For us, Spiritualism is a way of life we are not here to change anyone’s belief systems or change who you are.
Spiritualism combines philosophy, science and religion, it covers a very wide field and therefore, you cannot expect to understand it without a certain amount of study.
Spiritualists mainly agree on seven principles: –
Fatherhood of God
The Brotherhood of Man
The communion of spirits and the ministry of angels
The continuous existence of the human soul
Personal responsibility
Compensation and retribution hereafter for all the good and evil deeds done on earth
Eternal progress open to every human soul
The primary object of spiritualism today is to prove the survival of human personality after death. Death is the doorway to a new and wider life. From the day of our birth, we each have two bodies, the material or earthly body, which can be seen, and the spiritual body, which is unseen during life but is a counterpart of our earthly body These two bodies are linked by a cord. In a similar fashion, before birth, a baby is joined to its mother by a cord. When it is born the cord must be cut ·
Spiritualism what is it continued….. When we die, the cord linking our two bodies is severed. The material body returns to the whence it came, and the spiritual body becomes a vehicle of our spirit. We are spirits here and now- we do not have to wait until death to become spirits. Death as a rule becomes like sleep, there is no pain. When we awake, conditions seem much the same to us as before we “died”. We take with us into the beyond no material possessions, such as clothes or money- they are no longer needed. But we do take our character and our individuality. In every way, we are the same individuals immediately after death as before, with all our faults and virtues.
The home that awaits us in the spirit world depends upon the life we have led on earth. If we have honestly tried to do the best we can, then we need to have no fear of death. we have fitted ourselves for the result which is automatic, a better, happier life where we are reunited with our loved ones and friends.
If on the other hand, there has been more selfishness than goodness and service in our lives, we will automatically have to pay the price. This is part of the law of sowing what one reaps which is only another way of saying that effect must follow the cause. It is perfectly summarized in our 6th principle which says that hereafter there is compensation and retribution for all the good and evil deeds done on earth.
Acts of service that we have performed will naturally increase our spiritual status. Sins of omission or commission will just naturally retard it. There is, however, no heaven or hell in which its habitants are colonized for eternity. Once self-realization dawns and the soul is ready to advance There are enlightened spiritual beings who will show us the way to progression. The practical application of Spiritualism is the supreme necessity for all of us to lead the best kind of life we can on earth, to practice qualities of compassion and kindness and to give service wherever we can.
