From faith to real belief.
On this site I hope to dispel the old expected beliefs of Spiritualism. No longer are we, the modern believers of this philosophy openly public performers (apart from the good platform speakers and mediums), like the so-called fortune-tellers & psychics who would tell you about your future or read your palm and tell you that a tall dark stranger will swoop you off your feet, or indeed, that you will have trouble in five years time so look out for it! I dont include ALL mediums here, but it has to be said, in these recent decades the mediumship of MOST is so second rate it has given rise for hostile ridicule from the majority of people. I also have to say how much I cringe when I even hear the word psychic on TV. I dont expect much and then await the deserved backlash. These type of people do not belong to the philosophy of spirituality or Spiritualism. They think they do and they tell us they do, but they have no connection to a personal path or giving service to others freely. Their motive is profit and not the work of the soul. So often, as I have said, I have seen the speedy growth of stage and television psychics and I really have been ashamed to be associated with spiritualism as it seemed to accept everything as long as it promoted the Spiritualist movement. Anguished as I was/am at this situation in our modern lives I eventually came across others on the internet who sidle away from those who wish to cling to parlour games (which were all part of the beginning for Spirit to be brought to our attention), and where their thoughts are only for money and fame. This behaviour was all well and good for the philosophy and proof to help us in our early days, and did indeed help the people demonstrate that survival of the mind after bodily death does exist but really, we have moved on so much to a new level where we need not push ourselves on to people like the street christians we hear every day in towns and cities spouting ignorance and the hatred of their God toward his creation! We have known, as spiritualists, that God is love, total love, therefore he cannot by his very nature hate or take revenge. We leave that to the zealots.
Now, after you read this you will get a clearer view of the modern spiritualist philosophy. It is a personal path to the one we know as God and, no matter which path you choose in your life (with love as your motive), I will be there with you as a friend. Keep your motives above profit and your heart to healing and you will be on your correct path.
Love, light and learning my friend.

A bit about me.
I have been a student of spirituality since 1985. Since then I have found my life changed and uplifted in so many ways that any (and I mean any), mainstream religious teachings have me shaking my head at their ignorance. I was once a christian. From a very young child I went to church four times every Sunday, bible class and bible study several times in the week. I believed all they told me, because they told me to believe; and I did. But as I continued, a niggling thought came to mind and then another. I began to question what they were telling me, but not from a way to question my faith, it was to clarify something. At the beginning I was given short answers and as time went on I was told not to question God. I wondered why? Why would God who loved me, want to keep me in ignorance? But still the questions went unanswered and I was eventually asked to leave the church because my faith was marred, and that God also questioned me and I was a lost sheep who needed to have faith unquestioningly. I left the church sad and depressed. I found that I had no direction or a way to express myself in my own religious life. I wanted to believe and even considered going back to the church (any church, in fact), and not question them, simply living in the company of others who loved god. But they weren’t like me any more, I decided. I really am an individual and must find my own way and my own path in my life. This I did, though I found no real answers for another ten years or so. That was when a little bit reality entered my life and this present journey began. I was pleased some friend in spirit had guided my question as they did. But ultimately it was I who made the decision to question. It was, and is always the right thing to do. God loves us. He is not a vengeful God nor does he EVER wish to see us suffer. That is a truth that organised religions forget. They want to us to fear God and quake at their words. THEY do! They want their ignorance to be listened to and then sit back and expect the MAN they call God to reward only who they ask to be rewarded. How ignorant can you get? Think for yourself and follow an individual path. If others seem to be on the same path as yourself, welcome them, but remember with love, that what you do, say and think, are real, and all you need is love in your heart to move forward. God bless. Love and light.
Brian.
