Spiritualism

A Spiritualist is one who believes as part of their Religion, in the communication with the Spirit World by means of Mediumship, and who endeavors to mould their character and conduct in accordance with the highest teaching derived from such communication.

Our Principles 

Since the earliest days of the Spiritualist Movement, Spiritualist Societies, Churches, and Assemblies have codified the uplifting and simple teachings of Spiritualism into lists of basic Principles.

 

These Principles are not binding rules, commandments, or dogmatic statements, but are a helpful guide to learn about the teachings of Spiritualism.

 

The Rochester Spiritualist Society affirms the following Principles:

 

1. Infinite Spirit 

Some say Higher Power, God, Infinite Intelligence, Great Spirit, Great Mystery, God of Your Understanding, God of Your Heart.

 

2. Unity and Equality of All 

We are all Equal, We are all Connected 

 

3. Ministry of Spirits and Angels 

Elevated Spirits and Angels minister to us through Mediumship and Healing 

 

4. Continuous Existence of the Soul 

The Soul continues to exist Eternally 

 

5. Personal Responsibility 

We each have the free will to follow the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

 

6. Personal Truth 

We are all called to our own unique life journey towards an understanding of Truth 

 

7. Living in Harmony with Natural Law 

We strive to live a balanced life in thought, word and deed in accordance with the physical and spiritual laws of Nature 

 

8. Eternal Progress Open to Every Soul 

The Door to Hope is never closed, and our Soul continues to evolve and progress eternally
