Is spiritualism all that it is made out to be?

It don't make him right and it isn't relevant to this forum or topic.....

And I like to speak for myself - not use the words of others.

Existence is the only proof you need, you know we are here, you know we die and other bodies are born, we know that universes come and go also, so we know there is more to the world than matter that makes all these things known to us. behind all this is pure Essence, pure Consciousness, out of this Consciousness everything arises and disappears back into it, that is all you need to know, the rest is guessing.

"....and disappears back into it, that is all you need to know,"

Ah my dear psycho friend.... Maybe it's all you need to know but no-one may speak for others on such matters.

I don't need to know anything more, all the rest to me is just games, called spiritual practice, if that's what you want to play with then that's up to you, I'm not taking anything away from you.

Indeed you're not taking anything away - you couldn't if you tried!

To you, quote: "...all the rest" may well appear to be games that you call spiritual practice. Early learning can also appear as games to young children. I well remember the horror I felt when our young daughter used to return home telling us of the 'games' she'd been playing in school. Only later when I became an educator did I understand, and then teach, those same 'games', building blocks for the kids' overall education.

So although you see 'play', perhaps it's best not to dismiss or discount too readily - even for yourself.

But I have still to be convinced there are "new pioneers" waiting in the wings - I just hope that it's so....

So do I,Mac.

Awaiting the next step up for forward motion in the subject of spiritualism.
