Source of the Seven Principles
The original concepts and wording for the 7 Principles have been around since 1871, and came through the Mediumship of Emma Hardinge Britten while in communication with the Spirit of Robert Owen. Ms. Emma Hardinge Britten was a Spiritualist Medium and a highly respected and entertaining speaker on Spiritualism's philosophy. Just looking at her photo from that time you can feel her spark of impishness and yet sincerity in her beliefs. Robert Owen himself was also a very interesting character - a seeker above all. He was a Welsh social reformer, one time industrialist in Scotland and immigrant to the US - who came to North America to form a Utopian society. We find that the pricinples may be even more striking and appropriate in this century and have updated the wording to fit our modern understanding...but at the core they remain the same - extremely powerful words to live by. |
SPiritualism Today
Today we consider spiritualism an evolution of consciousness rather than "Just" speaking to the spirits of dead people.
As we develop our spiritualism we connect with the greater consciousness accessible to us all. Through that connection we not ONLY connect to those who have passed, but also create more meaningful and impactful lives here and now. It is our intention, with great respect and appreciation, to continually build this consciousness both within ourselves and as a community through our spiritualist centre and special events. |
