The name of this Religious Society is the Portland Spiritualist Church; and having duly incorporated under the laws of the State of Maine on January 1, 1954; and holds Charter Number ME 32 of the National Spiritualist Association of Churches (hereafter referred to as NSAC), a religious body, incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. ARTICLE II PRINCIPLES-DEFINITIONS-HEALING PRAYERS SECTION 1. DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES. The following Declaration of Principles is published to the world, not as a creed binding on the conscience of the individual, but as the consensus of a large majority of American Spiritualists on the fundamental teachings of Spiritualism. The Declaration of Principles shall be recited at all devotional services. 1. We believe in Infinite Intelligence. 2. We believe that the phenomena of nature, both physical and spiritual, are the expression of Infinite Intelligence. 3. We affirm that a correct understanding of such expression and living in accordance therewith constitute true religion. 4. We affirm that the existence and personal identity of the individual continue after the change called death. 5. We affirm that communication with the so-called dead is a fact, scientifically proven by the phenomena of Spiritualism. 6. We believe that the highest morality is contained in the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” 7. We affirm the moral responsibility of individuals, and that we make our own happiness or unhappiness as we obey or disobey Nature’s physical and spiritual laws. 8.

  • Henry Handel Richardson, a Secret Life – by Dr Barbara Finlayson
    Henry Handel Richardson, a Secret Life – a talk given by Dr Barbara Finlayson at the Bendigo Philosopher’s Group on July 2, 2018 The background music are songs to which Henry Handel Richardson (HHR mainly from now on) wrote the music, some whilst she was at school, others as a music student at Leipzig. That she wrote music is not well known as was her deep involvement in Spiritualism, the subject of my talk. Firstly though, I shall give a very, very, potted summary about this author Henry Handel Richardson, the nom de plume of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson. She was born on the 3rd January 1870 in East Melbourne, the eldest daughter of Dr Walter Richardson and his wife Mary. The family lived in various Victorian towns, as well as Melbourne itself during HHR’s childhood and youth. These included Chiltern, Queenscliff, Koroit, and Maldon after her father’s death. Her mother took the family to Europe in 1888 to enable HHR and her sister Lill to continue her musical studies at the Leipzig Conservatorium. HHR married George Robertson who became chair at the University of London and they moved to that city 1903. She published her first novel, Maurice Guest in 1908 and that is when she adopted her pseudonym. (I have included a list of her writing in the hand out.) The best known are The Getting of Wisdom and The Fortunes of Richard Mahony. She died in 1946, aged 76. In Dorothy Green’s book about Henry Handel Richardson, Ulysses Bound, she said, ‘Richardson’s life-long adherence to Spiritualism is a fact which has largely been ignored.’ This book was first published in 1973, and HHR’s involvement in Spiritualism was largely ignored until 1996 when 2 events occurred.

  • Catholicism As Living Memory in a Montreal Spiritualist Congregation1
    Catholicism as Living Memory in a Montreal Spiritualist Congregation1 Deirdre Meintel* Abstract Since 2000 I have been observing a Spiritualist congregation in Montreal, the Spiri- tual Church of Healing (SCH). Members, generally brought up as Catholics, often ex- perience meaningful spiritual transformation through their participation in the SCH. However this does not after their sense of religious belonging. Moreover, Catholic saints, beliefs and symbolism are omnipresent in the rituals and other religious acti- vities of the SCH, as well as in the discourse of members. The analysis presented here helps further the understanding of contemporary religious hybridity and shows how the Catholic past shapes Quebec’s religious landscape in the present. Keywords: Religious hybridity. Spiritualism. Catholicism. 1 INTRODUCTION Since 2000 I have been observing a Spiritualist congregation in Montreal, the Spiritual Church of Healing (SCH).2 The present analysis concerns the enduring presence of Catholic belief and practice in this group, most of whose members are French-speaking native-born Québécois. Most in this congregation (its official membership is 275) were brought up Catholic. However, they do not see themsel- ves as “converts” from Catholicism to Spiritualism. Moreover, most, even those who have been very active in the SCH for decades as healers and mediums, do not see their religious practice in terms of denominational belonging. A Spiritualist baptism for adults exists, in theory, but no one in the group, including Michel, the pastor, has experienced or witnessed the ritual. Though Spiritualism is a denomination in historical, objectivist terms, it does not function as such for those who attend and contribute their services (as healers and mediums) to the SCH.

Herr Florizel von Reuter is a musician of European fame, and one of the greatest German virtuosos upon the violin. He is a man of many accomplishments, which seem to include both the· tr psychic temperament and the power of writing a clear and arresting statement. His story speaks for itself. Whether the very remarkable· results obtained were, as would appear, independent messages, or whether they were the products of a dramatisation of his own subconscious powers, presents a problem to the researcher.

  • LA MÉDIUMNITÉ POLYGLOTTE Xénoglossie
    Ernest BOZZANO LA MÉDIUMNITÉ POLYGLOTTE xénoglossie 1 Introduction Le terme xénoglossie a été proposé par le professeur Charles Richet dans le but de distinguer nettement la médiumnité polyglotte proprement dite, dans laquelle les médiums parlent ou écrivent en des langues qu’ils ignorent totalement, et qui sont parfois inconnues même aux assistants, des cas radicalement différents (malgré une ressemblance purement apparente) de glossolalie, dans lesquels les sujets somnambuliques parlent ou écrivent en de pseudo-langues inexistantes, élaborées dans les tréfonds de leurs subconsciences : pseudo- langues qui sont quelquefois organiques, en ce sens qu’elles sont composées conformément à des règles grammaticales. Inutile de nous occuper de cette dernière catégorie de phénomènes, qui sont de nature somnambulique et hypnotique, et n’ont rien de commun avec la médiumnité polyglotte, pas plus qu’avec les manifestations métapsychiques en général, quoique des incidents de glossolalie puissent parfois s’intercaler en des manifestations supra normales authentiques. Ce qui ne doit pas nous étonner, puisque les interpolations subconscientes ne sauraient être évitées dans aucune branche de la métapsychique, tant que l’on ne connaîtra pas mieux les lois psychophysiques qui différencient les états médiumniques de ceux somnambuliques. Au point de vue théorique, la médiumnité polyglotte constitue une des manifestations métapsychiques les plus importantes, parce qu’elle élimine d’un coup toutes les hypothèses qui sont à la disposition de ceux qui se proposeraient de les expliquer sans s’écarter des pouvoirs supranormaux inhérents à la subconscience humaine. L’interprétation des faits s’impose ainsi, dans cette circonstance, d’une manière rationnellement inévitable ; c’est-à-dire que, grâce aux phénomènes de xénoglossie, on doit considérer comme démontrée l’intervention dans les expériences médiumniques d’entités spirituelles étrangères aux médiums et aux assistants.

  • 1 POETRY from SPIRIT © 2006 by Reverend Del Lauderback Golden
    POETRY FROM SPIRIT 2006 By Reverend Del Lauderback Golden Gate Spiritualist Church Poetry from the Spirit World, which appeared in the previous issue of The National Spiritualist Summit, talked about the spontaneous poetry given through trance mediums, mostly girls and young women, by workers from the Spirit side. 1 The historical record shows that, within a few months of the first public meetings held by Margaretta Fox and Anne Leah Fox Fish in late 1849, trance mediums began coming forth who soon were giving nearly all the public demonstrations of Spirit communication, a practice that continued at least through the first few decades of Modern Spiritualism. 2 Spirit manifested in a variety of ways to convince audiences, observers, and investigators that what was being given through the trance mediums had to come from some source outside the mediums and with capability far beyond that of any of the mediums. Audiences for public demonstrations picked the topic on which the trance mediums were asked to speak. The medium may have come onto the platform already in trance, as Cora Scott Richmond did, or would go into trace immediately after the topic was given.
