I can believe anything provided it is incredible.
- Oscar Wilde
What is Evidence in the
spiritualism sense?
It's factual proof. If I say to you that your
mother who has been 'dead' for some years is standing next to you, this is not
evidence although you might believe it to be true. Whereas if I describe her to
you in body and character, recounting shared memories you have with her, this
is proof.
We use the altered state of Clairvoyance to
get this proof, which incidentally is a state of brain energy measurable
by scientific instruments as the alpha-theta state.
DESCRIPTION
From an Encyclopaedia: "Clairvoyance
is defined as a form of extra-sensory perception that it is claimed allows a
person to perceive distant objects, persons, or events, including 'seeing' through opaque objects and the detection of types of energy
not normally perceptible to humans."
But ... this is not enough for us who wish to be more knowledgeable on
the subject.
A
Spiritualist Medium would describe it as: "The means by which evidence of
the existence of people in the spirit world is shown to Mediums, those people with the
ability to use the senses which have become dormant in the majority of the
population through the ages, there are other senses listed below."
The sentence "...including 'seeing' through opaque objects..." here the
reference is not to Super-Man's X-ray eyes, although that is a good analogy,
but the healing mediums ability to perceive physical disturbances within the
body, either literally or as a metaphor. This is not as unusual as might be thought.
Clairvoyant -- To see
Claircognisant -- To to know
Clairaudient -- To hear
Clairsentient -- To perceive
Clairgustant -- To taste
Clairsentient -- To smell
Evidence
"The proof of the pudding is in the
eating". Is an old saying from the north of England, that means when you
see something it might not be what it appears, only trying it will tell! In
other words EVIDENCE is what we need.
I would define evidence in this context as exactly
the same thing you find in the court of law, proof to be tested by examination.
Clairvoyance is one of the tools we use to get that truth
/ proof, it is communications between the spirit world and the physical world.
Another word for clairvoyance in that context is 'communications' or 'messages', as people mostly
say in the churches. Although it is also for healing and speaking otherwise known as 'the address'
If you haven't had your own personal proof yet,
the way to get it is either by a private reading, or just go to your nearest
Spiritualist Church and take pot luck that the medium will come to you and give
a good example, i.e. a recognisable spirit person, behaving in a way that you
know is true, straight and simple.
Do pick a medium for a private reading that is
recommended by your local church to avoid any problems with unqualified
persons, I say this for good reasons, as a psychic is not always a spiritualist
medium and there are people who genuinely believe they are spiritually gifted,
but aren't, and don't know the rules, yes, there are rules regarding ethics and
the law of this country, given for spiritual reasons too!
Don't worry that any secrets will be mentioned in
front of strangers if you are in a church, that NEVER happens because our
Spirit friends and helpers come only to help not embarrass us or even to tell us what to do, in fact if that should happen you know
the medium has not 'connected' to the spirit world.
Each Church, whether it is Spiritualist National
Union [ SNU ] Independent, or Christian Spiritualist, [called The Greater World
Churches] they all follow the basic pattern of service. Hymns then prayers, a
talk, not called a sermon here, it's called Philosophy. Then the down to the
nitty-gritty ... Evidence / Clairvoyance / Communications / Messages, and usually after the service some healing for those who request, so don't forget to ask.
Weekday services are usually missing the
Philosophy talk out, and spend more time on the communications. Special
evenings are charged on the door, or tickets in advance, but there is no charge
for a public meeting. All churches as registered charities, and so hold a
collection only as a free will offering, please give generously as they depend
on you to keep the doors open!
There is a book of Churches that is be available
to all, this is called "The Signpost" - just ask at your local
bookshop, see the book list on the front page - top right for the ISBN number
to order through the websites.
WHAT NEXT?
So, you've had your proof now? Are you thinking
about the next step?
What sort of person are you?
A sharing person?
Do you tell others if there's a bargain to be had?
Good ... so do I!
Well, Spiritualism is an everyday kind of thing,
you can either take the philosophy and use it as you think best only for
yourself, or pass it around to help others. I think it's better to pass it on,
because you never know just when the smallest piece of information might come in
handy!
If you like to help people you know and have
already shared some information you've gathered, then that makes you a
communicator, a 'middleman' / 'medium', a passer-on of information.
THAT ENERGY - IT'S CALLED LOVE!
How does the spiritualist way influence my life? Stop me from suffering as the rest of
the world is over the horrific news on the 'telly'? How has this philosophy
helped me?
By seeing this life as a continuation of all life, the bigger picture, looking forward into the other realms is good, but what about looking back into the other realms? Where are we going is a common question but think about this, where did we come from?
We are sympathetic
people and the sorrow of others resonates on our heart strings, even more so
when you're a sensitive [like all psychics and mediums] that's natural, but as
spiritualists we see the principle of continuous progression working out in all
our lives, those of individuals and groups too, yes all groups even towns,
countries and nations have karma, a spiritual path.
This means man-made tragedies are part of that
progression, it's hard, but it helps to see this worldly existence, this life, as a transient progression. Natural
disasters, we are told by the Masters, are the progression of the Earth as a
living organism, no more than that, we don't attribute any human characteristics to
God, like anger or petty favouritism. Things are not 'His fault' they are allowed by Him for us to progress,
each in our own special way. There lies the difference, the Great White Spirit, as some call God, is the light and in wisdom only allows darkness .
If you, like me, are a bit nervous of talking
about this with other people, then let the spirit helpers do their bit, by just
asking for their help in a silent prayer. Just one word "Help!" is
always heard. And then speak from the heart on any matter.
Have you never put into words your thoughts and
beliefs? Then now is a good time to think about them, and take courage - spirit
are waiting for you to ask them to help. They are literally queuing up and
waiting, but because we all have free-will they can't help us unless we ask
them!
The Masters tell us what happens when we die :
1) There is a reception of friends and family
organised to meet us, and ...
2) When a time has elapsed [it varies a lot ] we
can communicate to those left behind, that all is well.
But there are so many silly fables that cause
unhappiness, I hope you will look further for evidence as an intelligent person
with common sense! If you need clarification about details that you are not
sure about, then get in touch with me via the email on this site.
Did you ever have a friend that needed a
confidence boost - and you just said what came into your head with kindness?
Then afterwards you didn't know what you said, but it just came out OK. You're
acting as a medium! That's spirit working on your behalf!
Put your thoughts into words ... and then the
action will follow in a natural way. Have courage, trust a little bit that when
you need it spirit will come to your aid and give you those words, as they have
always done so, even when we didn't realize it.
Were you coming to church for proof? And having
found it what do you do next? I'm talking about being a communicator yourself,
attending some classes, we all begin by standing up in a circle meeting ...
when you're ready this will be attractive to you.
All it takes is the wanting to help. That's all.
We are all capable of helping each other, even just a little bit, and why
refuse extra help from the spirit world? Just say to your guardian Angel, "Help me
please." And it's there!
TEST IT AND SEE. That's all I did!
Now ... if you are interested ... go to the
Articles on the Main menu and you will find all the different subjects there in
more detail. Also there are many books on the subject of what
goes on in the spirit world, and there's a Book List available.
See: Main Menu / Articles / General Knowledge /
Reading For All. Maybe even have a look for your next holiday trip, the physical
one, or the spiritual one!
The famous author Alan Kardec is very much more
comprehensive on the subject you can read his book on the following website.
Thanks go to my friends Jim and Lis in Australia for this facility, their
site is here>> http://nasm.org.au/
Go to the 'Library' there for lots of meaty
reading!
Happy hunting!
