Your Guide to This Site
On the Main Menu, top left of this front page, look for articles marked 'Revised' if you are a regular viewer. Below there is 'Latest News' This is where the newest additions to the site are popping up, so if you've read everything [!] go there and see what's caught my eye.
MAIN MENU
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 ...? Didn't fledgling Marcus do well both weeks? And thank-you to him for stepping while I was 'Nana-ing'!
HERE IS A LETTER TO YOU FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SITE:
Dear reader, are you wandering about 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
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).
