1. We believe in Infinite Intelligence. By this we express our belief in a Supreme Impersonal Power everywhere present, manifesting as life through all forms of organized matter called by some, God, by others, Spirit and by Spiritualists Infinite Intelligence. Though this power is impersonal, our understanding can only be gained by our personal perception of this creative force.
2. We believe that the phenomena of Nature, both physical and spiritual, are the expression of Infinite Intelligence. In this matter we express our belief in the immanence of Spirit and that all forms of life are manifestations of Spirit or Infinite Intelligence, and thus, all of humanity are children of God.
3. We affirm that a correct understanding of such expression and living in accordance therewith constitute true religion. A correct understanding of the Laws of Nature, on the physical, mental and spiritual planes of life, and living in accordance therewith will unfold the highest aspirations and attributes of the Soul, which is the correct function of True Religion.
4. We affirm that the existence and personal identity of the individual continue after the changed called death. “Life here and hereafter is all one life whose continuity of consciousness is unbroken by the mere change in form whose process we call death.” - Lillian Whiting.
5. We affirm that communication with the so-called dead is a fact, scientifically proven by the phenomena of Spiritualism. Spirit communication has been in evidence in all ages of the world and is amply recorded in both sacred and profane literature of all ages. Orthodoxy has accepted these manifestations and has interpreted them in dogma and creed in terms of the supernatural. Spiritualism accepts and recognizes these manifestations and interprets them in the understanding and light of Natural Law.
6. We believe that the highest morality is contained in the Golden rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” This precept we believe to be true. It points the way to harmony, peace and happiness. Wherever tried, it has proven successful, and when fully understood and practiced, will bring peace and happiness to all of humanity.
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. Individuals are responsible for the welfare of the world in which they live, for its welfare or its misery, for its happiness or unhappiness. If we are to obtain Heaven upon Earth, we must learn to make that Heaven for ourselves and for others. Individuals are responsible for their own spiritual growth and welfare. Errors and wrong doing must be outgrown and overcome. Virtue and love of good must take their place.
8. We affirm that the doorway to reformation is never closed against any soul, here or hereafter. We discard entirely the terribly wrong and illogical teachings of eternal damnation, and in place thereof, we accept and present for consideration of thinking people, the thought of the continuity of life beyond the change called death. It is a natural life. The opportunities for growth and progress toward more spiritual conditions are open to all, as they are here on the Earth Plane.
9. We affirm that the precepts of Prophecy and Healing are Divine attributes proven through Mediumship. We thus affirm our belief in and acceptance of the truths of prophecy and healing. Being associated with the spiritual aspects of humanity, we assert that the practice of the two are not unique nor of recent occurrence alone, but that they are universal and everlasting, and have been witnessed and observed in all ages of the world.
