What is free will in Spiritualism?
Spiritualism (religion, philosophy, science) as an organized way of life is open to all to attend and explore their own spirituality in a community of loving approach. The fact is, we recognize the individual in all things. We are all a unique individual creation - like the snowflakes - and need to see our progress through life's lessons on that level.
What has happened to the centres where all can attend and find their own spirituality? Has Spiritualism arrived at a place where dogmas and creeds are creeping into their approach to spirituality through Spiritualism?
A Spiritualism discussion that recently proceeded to define Spiritualism. And in the doing set up so many restrictions. It became my way or I will disrupt this whole process and make it untennable to discuss and enjoy spiritual interchange (which, in its purpose is the sole direction of spirituality).
The disgruntled with other individuals who seek validation for their way are making it a dogmatic approach to this free thinking enterprise. For the sincere Spiritualist we take pride in our free thinking approach for ALL to find a place to worship, practice, learn and grow in their own spirituality as well as skills of communion with spirit realms to confirm it in their own way.
Spiritualism has a philosophy of continuous life. It does not tell anyone how to accomplish this task. We are all on the mountain of spirituality, climbing to our source (God) in our own way. If we can help someone on their path identify and understand their own spirituality, we have done service. Service is the highest spirituality of all. It is in giving that we receive.
So much is being lost by those dogmatic approaches to what needs to remain a message of love for all. No matter who is delivering the message, the approach is love. While the approach may vary from speaker to speaker and worker to worker, the fact is...the right person for the right message is always found.
