PHILOSOPHY & INSPIRATION

"Operating the perfect channel"

 
What do Spiritualists mean when they say Philosophy?

Philosophy gives substance to what we teach.  In the sense that Spiritualists use the words philosophy and inspiration, it is true to say that you really can’t have one without the other.  They go perfectly hand-in-hand.
 

In general, Philosophy is the study of the meaning of;

*  LIFE
*  KNOWLEDGE
*  BEING
*  THOUGHT
*  GOD
A theory or set of ideas based around one or more of these themes.

On the other hand, Inspiration is the creative idea, stimulus or influence.  It is something which fills the heart and soul with enthusiasm.

So, when the Medium is inspired to give philosophy, the Spirit operates the perfect channel!

1% INSPIRATION          99% PERSPIRATION!
We believe that science, religion and philosophy all point to the existence of God.  For example, philosophical argument proving the existence of God can be offered in a number of ways.

Imagine you are wandering through a field and you find a clock.  It would be fair to assume [would it not] that the clock did not grow there.  Someone, at some point, had clearly placed it there.  It would also be fair to assume that the construction of the clock was no random happening, i.e.; that it was made by some greater hand for a specific purpose.

Now look at the human heart.  Applying this same analogy to the existence of the human heart, it would be fair to assume - would it not - that something so obviously more complex did not happen by chance - that a greater hand was at work here creating this organ.

If the clock has a creator then so must the human heart.

Ergo, God exists!!

Unlike orthodoxy, we have no dogma or creed, but like many other religions, we do have a philosophy, which is the third cor ner to our triangle of science and truth.
