It's a belief in the existence of consciousness, before
and   after physical  'Death', and the ability of a
consciousness in a physical body to contact and have
understanding with a consciousness outside of the physical
existence.( In spirit)
    However it is more than a belief, it is a certainty. Many
 spiritualists follow the example and teachings of Jesus
the Christ.
    Others lean to different philosophies. But a true
spiritualist should be able to harmonize with any
philosophy that teaches.
                    DO NO HARM TO ANYONE....
    The Spiritualist Medium, links their consciousness with
the Spirit being and passes on evidence, (proof is for the
person  receiving, to decide for themselves).
   Guidance from Spirit is suggestions how people could
live better more useful life's. Spiritual Healing is
channelled by a healer with the help from Spirit inspirers
to correct disharmony in an individual.
     It is not a replacement for the normal medical /
surgical, but will work along with orthodox treatments.
     All of us are Spirit, we are eternal, we will all survive
physical death, but how we live this life will determine what
conditions we pass into.
