Spiritualism is the science, philosophy, and religion of continuous life based upon the demonstrated fact of communication by means of Medium-ship with those who live in the spirit world.
A Spiritualist is one who believes, as part of his or her religion, in communication between this and the spirit world by means of Medium-ship, and who endeavors to mold his or her character and conduct in accordance with the highest teachings derived from such communion.
A Medium is one whose organism is sensitive to vibrations from the spirit world, and through whose instrumentality, intelligences in that world are able to convey messages and produce the phenomena of Spiritualism.
A Spiritual Healer is one who is able to impart vital, curative force to pathologic conditions through inherent power or through Medium-ship.
Principles of Spiritualism
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 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: “Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you, do ye also unto them.â€
7. We affirm the moral responsibility of the individual and that he makes his own happiness or unhappiness, as he obeys or disobeys nature’s physical and spiritual laws.
8. We affirm that the doorway to reformation is never closed against any human soul, here or hereafter.
9. We affirm that the precepts of prophecy and healing contained in the Bible and all sacred writings of the world are divine attributes proven through Medium-ship.
I maintain a belief in all of the above. I am a member of the Indiana Association of Spiritualists (IAOS).
“The fundamental objectives of the INDIANA ASSOCIATION OF SPIRITUALISTS are:
To develop a knowledge by study and teaching of the highest spiritual power of intellect and inspiration; to study and teach a knowledge of man’s obligations to the true purpose of this life and the life that is to come; to study and teach the highest principles of virtue; and to heighten the moral conception of justice and truth.
To seek and develop a knowledge of the real relationship between man and spirit.
To promote a knowledge of the principles and truth of Spiritualism and to hold communication with the spirits of the departed through the natural powers of Medium-ship.
The highest aim shall be to present such phenomena to the world as shall demonstrate the existence of a spiritual world and the continuity of life beyond the change called death.
For promoting these inestimable ends, this Association was formed and now exists.
These fundamental aims are inerrant and unchangeable.
I'm not here to cyber, I'm not here to turn anyone on. I'm here to make friends and to have fun doing it.
My believes are my own and I judge no one. if someone has a question about me and my beliefs he or she is more than welcome to ask.
In my art you may see a flower as a common theme, the sun flower and that's because...
One tiny seed is placed in the dark of Mother Earth. It is watered by rain from Heaven, blessed by man and often grows as tall as six feet, just like man. When they become mature and in harvest season, so rich from the Great Spirit's blessings, they often become, like man, stooped with age.
The main stalk is strong which is the life center and often has seven branches or twigs symbolizing the seven days of the week. It also has 12 green leaves representing the 12 months of the year. The branches often have three nice sunflowers symbolizing the Blessed Trinity.
Each flower has 52 golden yellow petals, which represents the 52 weeks of the year. In the center of the yellow frame of petals are 365 rich seeds representing our calendar year. These seeds are protected from weather by husks, and contain a sweet meat and oil for the nourishment of our bodies. Even the birds of the air feed on them. Each morning, the sunflower faces the rising sun to the East, as if to say, 'Good Morning to the Great Spirit.' I thank the Great Spirit for my Health,(despite how poor it is)Wealth, Prosperity, and Spirituality in the knowledge of the life of the Sunflower.
And we as spiriualists call this beautiful stately flower of the great Spirit, the Emblem of Spiritualism.
While I am a member of the Indiana Associaton of Spiritulists, I now reside in the state of Texas and am as of June 9th 2007 an ordained minister.
I have a great many interests:
Books
Poetry
Music
faeries
Tiger lilies
Art...Chalks/Charcoals, 3D 2D Painting, Photography, jewelery making
I'm currently writing a book that has changed format and title over the years. So inspired, I've been recently that the current incarnation of the book is about 2 chapters from completion.
I'm not a sexy vixen and I'm not here to be someones cyber doll. I hate clowns with a passion, that means ICP too.
After a 4 year hiatus from art work of any kind other than my writing I'm back,
I'm sweeping all the negativity away from my life and that includes those people who have upset me in the past, those have been swept beneath a rug.
My art when I remember how to do this lol, will be what I'm feeling that day or inspired by something I saw or by the feelings of someone else.
I hope you all enjoy my work and I welcome honest critiques.
As I post some of my old stuff you will see CLC or Llexis at the bottom..rest assured they are my pieces and the images were created by me.
Again, Thanks and Enjoy!
