THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES
THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD : BY TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE STUDY
OF NATURE AND THE LAWS OF CAUSE AND EFFECT WHICH GOVERNS ALL THAT IS AROUND US , WE RECOGNISE THE CREATIVE FORCE THAT SURROUNDS
US AS AN ENERGY FORCE WHICH CREATES ALL LIFE UNIVERSALLY . THIS CREATIVE FORCE OR ENERGY MANIFESTS DIRECTLY AND
INDIRECTLY IN ALL THINGS . WE KNOW THIS POWER AS GOD , AND AS WE ARE PART OF THAT LIFEFORCE , WE ACKNOWLEDGE GOD
AS OUR FATHER . THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN AS
WE ALL COME FROM THE SAME ENERGY FORCE WE CALL GOD , WE ARE IN EFFECT ONE LARGE FAMILY . IN EFFECT WE ARE ALL PART
OF A BROTHERHOOD , WE MUST ALSO LOOK NOT ONLY TO THE MATERIAL THINGS , BUT THE SPIRITUAL AS WELL , SO IN EFFECT WE ARE ALL
BROTHERS IN RELATIONSHIP TO OUR FATHER GOD THE COMMUNION OF SPIRIT AND THE
MINISTRY OF ANGELS ALL RELIGIONS BELIEVE THERE IS LIFE AFTER DEATH , BUT SPIRITUALISM BASES
THIS RELIGION ON FACT NOT FAITH . WE DO THIS BY DEMONSTRATIONS IN SPIRITUALIST CHURCHES , WHICH THROUGH MEDIUMSHIP
GIVES MANY OF THE LOVED ONES TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE TEACHINGS OF SPIRIT AND THEIR MINISTRY . CONTINUOUS EXISTANCE OF THE HUMAN SOUL MATTER AND ENERGY CANNOT BE DESTROYED , AND IF WE ACCEPT THIS THERE IS NO REASON WHY
WE WE SHOULD NOT . ON THE DEATH OF THE PHYSICAL BODY THE SPIRIT CONTINUES TO THE SPIRIT WORLD , THIS IS SIMPLY ANOTHER
DIMENSION . IN SPIRIT LIFE , WE HAVE A SPIRIT BODY , BUT UNTIL WE CAN PROGRESS ANY FURTHER WE STAY IN THE REPLICA
OF THE MATERIAL BODY , WE CAN ONLY CHANGE BY PROGRESSION . PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY THIS IS THE ONE PRINCIPLE WHICH PLACES RESPONSIBILITY FOR OUR OWN THOUGHTS AND DEEDS WHERE IT
BELONGS , OUR OWN INDIVIDUALITY . WE ARE IN OURSELVES OUR OWN JUDGE AND JURY , NO OTHER HAS THE RIGHT TO INTERFERE
IN OUR FREE WILL , AND OUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITIES DO NOT STOP AT PHYSICAL DEATH . COMPENSATION AND RETRIBUTION HEREAFTER FOR ALL THE GOOD AND EVIL DEEDS DONE ON EARTH NATURAL
LAWS APPLY AND THIS PRINCIPLE ECHOES WITH THE LAW OF CAUSE AND EFFECT (( what comes around goes around ) WE CANNOT BE CRUEL
TOWARDS OTHERS , BUT SHOW UNCONDITIONAL LOVE TO ALL FELLOWMAN AND THE ANIMAL KINGDOM , WE CANNOT WAIT UNTIL OUR SPIRITUAL
LIVES BEGINS , IT ALL STARTS HERE ON EARTH . ETERNAL PROGRESS OPEN TO EVERY HUMAN SOUL THERE EXISTS IN EVERY MATERIAL
BEING THE DESIRE FOR PROGRESS . ALL WHO DESIRE PERFECTION HAS THE ABILITY TO PERSUE IT , WE CAN ALL ONLY DO OUR BEST IN THIS
LIFE TO TRY AND REACH THIS PERFECTION . SPIRITUALISM IS ONLY A WAY OF LIFE , AND TO LIVE THIS LIFE IN THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY
WILL LEAD TO THAT SPIRITUAL PATHWAY OF PERFECTION . ------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PRINCIPLES MAY BE INTERPRETATED BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE , AND IS ONLY MEANT
AS A GUIDE TO THOSE WHO ARE INERESTED FOR THIS KNOWLEDGE .
