have our Declaration of Principles that express to
the world the understanding of Spiritualism:
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
- We believe in Infinite Intelligence.
- We believe that the phenomena of Nature, both
physical and spiritual, are the expression of
Infinite Intelligence. - We affirm that a correct understanding of such
expression and living in accordance therewith
constitutes true religion. - We affirm that the existence and personal identity
of the individual continues after the change called
death. - We affirm that communication with the so called
dead is a fact scientifically proven by the
phenomena of Spiritualism. - We believe that the highest morality is contained
in the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you." - We affirm the moral responsibility of the individual
and that we make our own happiness or
unhappiness as we obey or disobey Nature's
physical and spiritual laws. - We affirm that the doorway to reformation is never
closed against any soul here or hereafter. - We affirm that the precepts of prophecy and
healing are Divine Attributes proven through
mediumship.
SIMPLIFIED FORM
- We believe in God.
- We believe that God is expressed through all
Nature. - True religion is living in obedience to Nature's
Laws. - We never die.
- Spiritualism proves that we can talk with people in
the Spirit World. - Be kind, do good, and others will do likewise.
- We bring unhappiness to ourselves by the errors
we make and we will be happy if we obey the laws
of life. - Every day is a new beginning.
- Prophecy and healing are expressions of God.
