Overview

Spiritualists boast of potential evidence of mediumship existing long before the foundations of religion having been formed. In certain caves and rock faces scattered about the globe are paintings and etchings depicting the life of primitive man. The oldest images can be found in the Chauvet caves in France. These images are thought to be over 30,000 years old and may be the first journals of soul communications. Spiritualists look towards the Bible to inform us of the continuance of soul communications by suggesting we consider God to be the soul of humankind. Prophecy is described as inspiration or revelation from God. A prophet is one who interprets those revelations, edifying their faith, and providing encouragement. We will briefly look at the prophets and instances of Mediumship in the Testaments. We also consider some of the views of the early Christian Fathers as they pertain to prophecy. Spiritualism is said to have begun with the Fox sisters. The house John Fox and his family occupied had recently been vacated due to unexplained noises. Perhaps the house, if it were alive, was in search of someone in particular. Perhaps it was a soul, trying to say 'hello' The first time I received a message that contained information no one else knew while attending a Spiritualist church was astonishing, as they must have discovered. For Spiritualism to be more than just the demonstrations of phenomena, it must rely upon the teachings from the souls that many contemplated upon. Spiritualism provided an avenue for the religiously dissatisfied person to discover their own salvation. The teachings received from those souls many sought to contact was always one of harmony, one of health, and one of equality. Spiritualism is the demonstration of continued life through communication with the so-called dead. For science to have a role in Spiritualism we must view it as investigation and analysis. We are not trained scientists; therefore, we must accept that our results will be flawed in the eyes of the professional. If we cannot prove our experience to be a fraud, then we should accept the experience as being true. When discussion religion, it is always best to begin with the individual and forget the masses. For Spiritualism to be a religion we must forget dogma and doctrine and embrace the internal experience and apply that into our life instead of the interpretations of others.
