The flu virus meant that I had to cancel bookings at
the beginning of April and it was the 10th before I took my first
service, which was at the Dalneigh Spiritualist Church in Inverness. There is always a good turnout at this
church, in fact a good turnout at all the churches in the north-east. Spiritualism is always well supported in the
NE.
The 12th saw me at the Arbroath
Spiritualist Centre and again there was a good turnout.
The 16th – 20th we took a
holiday the Isle of Wight travelling by coach.
Spiritualism is a place you will find
thinking men and women coming together...
Spiritualism is a science, philosophy
and religion that satisfy your logic, your mind and your heart.
As the population contemplates the
current conditions in the world today, they are seeking a greater understanding
of the purpose of life and what can be done to improve individual life
situations and the circumstances of the world.
Spiritualism gives a person the key
that can be used to find the answers she/he seeks.
Spiritualism provides the knowledge
that by using prayer and meditation, we can become more aware of our responsibilities
to ourselves and to others. Through this inner awareness and guidance received
through spirit communications, a person takes the necessary actions to improve
his or her own life and contributes to the improved welfare of the entire human
race.
Spiritualism is the KEY that sets humanity free! Free to live and grow in the physical through love and law; and free because we know that life is continuous, the spirit never dies. "There is no death, there are no dead."

The BBC’s stark video footage of
Tibetan monks and nuns setting themselves on fire, in protest against the
Chinese’s treatment of the Tibetan people and the Tibetan way of life. I have heard some say that what was shown was
too stark, but as the persecution of the Tibetan’s has been going on for the
past fifty years and little has been done to help the Tibetan people. Maybe such horrific video footage will make
ordinary people of the world sit up and notice, even if world leaders will not.
Good news of the week; -
Seeing all those runners in the London
marathon doing their bit for charity.
I have said in the past that Spiritual Healing APPEARS to be the poor
relation of Spiritualism. In many of our
churches the Healing Service is after the Divine Service and after a cup of
tea. Many will wait on for the tea and a
chat but the numbers fall when it comes to the Healing Service. In fact I know of those who have attended our
churches for years but never once waited on for the Healing Service. Never experiencing what such Healing was
like. Although I must say the numbers
for Healing have increased greatly recently in recent years.
I have looked through emails to this site and picked out two questions on
healing this week.
“G” asks – Does spiritualist healing
involve massage or manipulation?
No. Spiritualist Healing is
administered by a simple application such as laying on of hands, or the
direction of thought from a distance.
Massage and manipulation is not part of Spiritual Healing.
H – “Will I be asked to remove any
clothing?”
Again the answer is no, with the possible exception of an outer coat, and
then only for comfort. The removal of
clothing is completely unnecessary with this form of healing. Although you may
be asked to remove spectacles.
I remember at a question and answer evening on Spiritualism, the heating
in the hall was not working so we were all wrapped up in our outdoor
clothing. One gentleman asked roughly
the same question as “H” and he was not convinced that Healing energies could
get through to a patient wearing a lot of clothing. All of a sudden his mobile phone rang. This phone was in his shirt pocket and the
signal had to go through a heavy overcoat and a jacket for the phone to ring
out. I mentioned the comparison to the
phone signal and the power of Spiritual Healing but he was still not
convinced. I wonder if Spirit was trying
to put a point over to him.
There are always arguments whether Spiritual Healing works or not. Many cases are laid on the table by each side
on this issue and it is like politics, each tries their best to destroy the
evidence presented by the other.
“The medical profession must have got it wrong the first time
around” The number of times I have
heard these words when someone’s health
has dramatically improved after receiving Spiritual Healing, could easily make
one a little uneasy about the ability of
the medical profession. But if we take
into account that Spiritual Healing MAY have played a part in the patient’s
improvement then, the medical profession’s reputation is quickly restored. But on saying that – NO ONE should ever stop
medical treatment and rely solely on Spiritual Healing as both can complement
each other.
Two cases I have recently heard about and this is not just hearsay. There has been a big turnaround in two
patient’s health after receiving Spiritual Healing, but neither of the patients
would be willing to have their details all over the media. A cop out some may say, not according to the
patients and their families and friends.
But I prefer to stay away from the dramatic side of this and rely on my
own judgment and the comments of patients and their families as far as this
type of healing is concerned.
Here is one example; -
I constantly saw an elderly gentleman at many different Spiritualist
Churches in the Glasgow area. He was a
poor looking soul, thin, no colour about his face and he always looked as if he
was in pain.
After coming in contact with him for many months he suddenly was absent
from the churches I saw him at on a regular basis. I wondered if he had passed over or decided
to give Spiritualism a miss.
Then one day I met him. What a
surprise I got, he had colour in his cheeks; the pain I always seemed to see in
his eyes was gone. He told me that his
intake of painkillers had halved per week.
Not only did I notice the difference in him but his sensible words
helped to show that Spiritual Healing could have been part of him having a
better quality of life.
After no change in his condition for eight years he started going for
Spiritual Healing. Although at first
there was no difference in his condition as the far as the pain was concerned,
he immediately did feel more relaxed.
Then after a few months of Healing he suddenly realized he was taking
fewer painkillers than he had done for the past eight years. The intake of painkillers went down and down
and at one stage he felt that he may be able to stop taking them altogether. That has not happened and he now admits it
never will as the injury he received all those years ago can never be
repaired. Neither the medical profession
nor Spiritual Healing will bring him back to full health, between the two his
quality of life had got much better.
I asked him what his family and GP thought of this improvement. He said that he had no close family but his
friends have been amazed at the change in him and his GP told him to keep up with
his regular appointments for the surgery but also to keep going for Spiritual
Healing.
On leaving him he said “You
Spiritualist should do what you are good at – giving healing to the sick – and
stop all this mumbo jumbo about talking to the dead”.
This comment goes to show that Spiritualism has many different facets and
mean different things to different people…….
