At the heart of Spiritualism lies a living philosophy—one that helps us explore our divine nature, grow through experience, and walk hand in hand with Spirit. We honour the Seven Principles, gifted to us through the mediumship of Emma Hardinge Britten, not as rigid rules, but as spiritual truths to guide our daily lives. These principles invite us to live with purpose, compassion, and a deeper awareness of our eternal connection to the Spirit world.

1. The Fatherhood of God

We recognise a creative, intelligent force that flows through all things—life itself. This force, which we call God, is not a distant being but an ever-present source of love and inspiration. By observing nature, science, and our own inner experiences, we come to understand that God is not separate from us—we are part of God, and God is part of us.

2. The Brotherhood of Man

We are all connected. No matter our background, culture, or beliefs, we each come from the same divine source. This truth forms a sacred bond between us—a spiritual family bound by love, compassion, and mutual responsibility. When we lift others, we lift ourselves. Through kindness and service, we live out the essence of community and fellowship.

3. The Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels

Spiritualism does not ask us to merely believe in life after death—it shows us. Through evidential mediumship, we know that life continues beyond physical death and that our loved ones in Spirit remain close. These moments of communication affirm that love never dies, and the Spirit world continues to guide, comfort and teach. Spirit is not separate from us—it walks beside us, always.

4. The Continuous Existence of the Human Soul

Our soul is eternal. Though the body may pass, the spirit remains active, growing, learning, and evolving in a new realm of existence. We are the same in Spirit as we were in the flesh—only freer, lighter, and more attuned to the universal truth. Life does not end; it transforms.

5. Personal Responsibility

We are each accountable for our choices, thoughts, and actions. Spiritualism teaches us that we are not judged by an external authority, but by the consequences of our own conduct. Growth comes when we acknowledge our power to shape our own path. With free will comes the sacred task of living with intention and integrity.

6. Compensation and Retribution Hereafter for All the Good and Evil Deeds Done on Earth

Every action has a ripple. Just as love and kindness return to us in beautiful ways, so too do actions born of harm or selfishness bring lessons. These are not punishments, but opportunities to reflect, evolve, and make amends. This principle reminds us that spiritual growth begins now, not later.

7. Eternal Progress Open to Every Human Soul

No soul is ever lost. Every individual has the capacity for growth, healing, and transformation—here and in the Spirit world. The journey of the soul is endless, and no matter where we start, the way forward is always open. Progress is a birthright, guided by love and fuelled by the desire to understand, serve, and awaken.
