What is Spiritualism ?

I came here because the subject interests me from the understanding/pov that I have. But noticed that here Spiritualism is listed as a Religions &/or Faith ... so who can define [as far as members are concerned] what Spiritualism is ?

Spiritualism is a belief system or religion, postulating the belief that spirits of the dead residing in the spirit world have both the ability and the inclination to communicate with the living. Anyone may receive spirit messages, but formal communication sessions are held by "mediums", who can then provide information about the afterlife.
Spiritualism is a recognized religion.

Like many others, you've confused 'spiritualism' (or 'spirituality') with Spiritualism. Follow this link:

http://www.spiritualforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=26564&page=2

for the discussion of the definition (posting #1) which is shown below it.


"Spiritualism is an officially registered, legally recognised, religion in a number of countries. It's also been described as a philosophy and a science.

Adherents of its teachings and guidance will often refer to themselves as Spiritualists. Some will be regular members of a church or centre. Others will rarely, or never, be seen at one.

Spiritualism (or Modern Spiritualism to signify its most-recent appearance) asks no belief or faith. It teaches that we all survive physical death into continuing life elsewhere. Abundant evidence of that has been provided through mediumship for over a century.

A medium is someone who facilitates communication between those alive here in this dimension and others who are still alive but in the 'spirit' dimensions. Where evidence of identity is obtained by a medium - as for example from a deceased relative or friend - it may be termed evidential mediumship.


Other mediums have facilitated communications from spiritually-evolved teachers and guides. Their guidance has provided a framework of understanding about what happens after death. Teachings have been widely recorded in books and some were recorded electronically at the time they were given. "

I would call that "Psychology" which I do study.
I see it as the "study of the soul" (Greek "psyche" = "soul")
Understanding oneĀ“s self
comes through knowing the templates of human consciousness ... which is taught in Psychology.



I hade thought that "spiritualism" was the study of "spiritualist" aspects, I had no idea it is centred on communicating with the dead.
That reply surprised me.
