"Perhaps much of humankind is still uncomfortable with Spiritualism because it does not fit into a nice, neat cubbyhole. As you have noted, even on spiritual forums people find a thought or belief that works for them and then cling to it for comfort… feeling that they have found their final truth thus wish to keep it close like a safety blanket."

Equally one might argue that much of humankind doesn't actually know what Spiritualism is about because they've not been exposed to what it teaches?

And everyone is perfectly entitled to use whatever they need to get through life and I don't have a scrap of interest in trying to make a convert of anyone. But if anyone wants to know, wants to understand, then I'll bend over backward to help in whatever way I can.
