Here is a letter from the author of the
website, Stella Rodgers CSNU - you can read about her qualifications at
the top right hand corner of this page marked 'Popular' :
Dear Reader,
Are you wandering
on the net?
Looking for a bit
of information about things?
Things like what's
life all about?
Well you've come to
the right place...
A question, are
you the sort of person who would prefer to dip your toe slowly and gently into
seemingly strange waters? Maybe you'd only walk through the door of a church if
it were raining? [Joke!]
And so you've
found this website ... good for you! Perhaps you'd like to get some
information? This site is
for just that, we aren't selling things.
Or perhaps you
want to know if what you've heard about Spiritualism is true ? Are they all
cranks?
So, what exactly
do YOU know about this subject? I must say there are some funny
stories going about! ..... Both "funny ha ha" and "funny
peculiar"! Well, you can be a spiritual person without ever setting foot
in a church - you don't need me to tell you that do you?
But, if you are an
intelligent person and have an inquiring mind, then information is what you
seek. I too have looked on the net for info regarding spiritualism and come up
a bit lacking in places, so it is my sincere wish to fill those gaps with
sensible helpful information for you.
There will be some
things that you agree with, good. There will be some things you disagree with,
that's fine too. But what we all must do is follow our common sense - and
spiritualism tells us all to do exactly that, there is no creed and no dogma in
this ‘ism'!
Nothing is ever
taken as 'read', DO question everything - we're not in the blind trust
business! But to find what you need just now, send a genuine thought out for
help, and spirit will provide. [I have done this many times and am still
surprised at the results!]
We DO expect
everyone to seek the truth of the fact that there is no 'death' by asking for
that proof, EVIDENCE just like in a court of law, this is what a Spiritualist
Medium's job is all about - giving proof!
Let me say it
again, PROOF is what we are all about!
I have found that
there are basically three doors we all pass through to find a comfortable
church, our 'spiritual home', and whatever our reasons these are grouped in the
spiritualist church as: Healing, Evidence and Philosophy.
HEALING is a big
subject and you will find that there is a great deal in that section, this is
because like myself, so many people come into Spiritualism through that 'door',
needing help that they feel cannot be received elsewhere, physical, emotional
or spiritual.
EVIDENCE or
'proof' has other names, ‘messages' or ‘communications' for example, but it all
boils down to wanting to know if our loved ones have arrived safely in the next
world, and if indeed it's true that there is a spirit world!
PHILOSOPHY in the
spiritualist movement is another name for teaching the understanding, and this
is the biggest subject ever! You will find no preaching in a spiritualist
church, for a medium does not give a sermon, s/he will allow the spiritual
mediumship to work in a most natural way and talk spontaneously from the heart
with guidance from the Eternal Spirit...
To quote Cecilia
Meireles ... "There are people who speak to us and we do not listen to
them; there are people who hurt us and they don't leave a scar, but there are
people who simply appear in our life and they mark us for ever."
May your marks
be loving spiritual ones!
Also, it won't
hurt to ask spirit for guidance as you browse through these pages, so just think of
your Guardian Angel and say "Good help please!" and off you
go...!
Bon
voyage! ...... Stella

Your Guide: On the MAIN MENU ~ look for 'Revised' if you are a regular viewer.
Spiritualism is a
general section covering the basics, click on here and the 'drop-down' is divided into:
a) Philosophy / The Address which is for everyone, put simply it's
a way of thinking, and we can all adjust that, can't we? Spiritualist Churches
don't have 'sermons', the 'Speaker' (medium) gives an 'Address', there is a big
difference!
b) Evidence covers all the forms of clairvoyance,
and
c) Healing speaks for itself.
'Articles' has many
more drop-downs with individual titles for more specific subjects.
FAQ's Frequently Asked Questions have a lot of
student requests both old and new
Churches - Do give me as much information about
YOUR church as you can please.The 'NEWSFLASH' facility at the top of the pages is
free for church adverts and special events, when you have copied the poster at your church people can then look on this site to see what YOU have posted here too.
Email me now to add anything that you think is important and I will add it to the front page if its urgent.
Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine This is my 'Day
Job' ~ together with Hypnotherapy, NLP etc, which you will find quite a
bit about on other sections because altered states of awareness overlaps with
spiritual development a lot.
Top right corner: Popular pages that have been
most talked about over time, especially the "Report on Spiritualism".
'Contact Stella': Questions on Awareness & Development Classes
please Email me through 'Contact Stella' on the MAIN MENU ~ OK?
I thank all the mediums who have been so generous
over the years with their help and advice, talking to you while making bookings
for the coming seasons has been most uplifting!
Do YOU know of an aspiring medium training for
platform work? We are just the right friendly size for 'fledglings' to try out their
wings ... so give me a call ...?
Add to our 'Healing Book' for absent healing to go out for your friends and family, this can also be done by email to me on the Main Menu, no details are needed, just a name will be sufficient ~ Stella
SILVER BIRCH ON THE IMPORTANCE
OF OVERCOMING SUPERSTITION "People
who die are - in the early stages- just the same as
those who live. They have shed a physical body, that
is all.
They have not changed their individuality; their character
is not altered. Their habits and traits and idiosyncrasies
and characteristics remain just as they were; the selfish
still selfish, the greedy still greedy, the ignorant
still ignorant, the deluded still deluded, until the
process of spiritual awakening takes place."
"This happened so many times that
in our world there came the determination to fill the
earth with some knowledge of reality. And so, for many
years, people like myself have been entrusted with the
task of trying to tell the truth about the spiritual
life, not in the mystical sense as the phrase so often
conveys, but what it is in reality.
We have
to undo generations and generations of misrepresentations,
ignorance, prejudice, lies, deception, superstition,
all the forces which have held millions of people in
the darkness of subjection."
(from S. Birch THE SEED OF TRUTH , 126).
