SPIRITUALIST SOCIETY OF BARRIE
Spiritualist Society of Barrie is a Chartered Church and a registered Charitable Corporation with the Province of Ontario.
Our Constitution is to promote Spiritualism as a way of life, according to the Seven Principles of Spiritualism and Natural Law.
Always mindful of the families wishes, we have registered Ordained Ministers in our community who are licensed and registered by the Ontario Government and are available to officiate at Weddings , Celebration of Life, Naming Ceremonies and more.
We encourage everyone to come to our services at least once, sit for a healing, hear our beliefs and perhaps receive a message from a loved one in spirit. That way you can decide for yourself if this something that is right for you.
To be a Spiritualist is to know that your spirit is eternal. It means to live in harmony with oneself, others and the natural environment. It is also understanding that the vibration of harmony and love attracts your loved ones from the spirit side of life, because the bond you shared here on the earth plane is never broken. Spirit communication has demonstrated that the soul is eternal. When you receive a message from a medium it should bring comfort, hope or healing.
The Spiritualist Movement began on March 31, 1848 when two adolescent girls initiated communication with a spirit entity using a series of raps or knocks. Knocking twice for yes and once for no was witnessed by several people and affidavits were signed affirming the authenticity of the communication.
It is a religion that is both rational and spiritual. It encourages the conscious application of intelligence to determine truth, the conscious acceptance of personal responsibility for all our actions and the conscious striving toward love and harmony. As such, Spiritualism is a way of life.
It is a science, because it demonstrates that spirit manifestations are observable, quantifiable and verifiable.
The Seven Principles are the basic beliefs of Spiritualism. In their simplicity and wide scope, they are guidelines for developing a personal philosophy of life. Each person is able to understand their meaning and discern their intrinsic truth according to his or her level of spiritual development.
Essentially, the explanation of the Seven Principles can be summarized as follows:
God is Spirit, the Creator of the Universe. All things proceed from God and, thus we acknowledge Infinite Spirit, Divine Creator of All That Is.
All human beings created by God form the divine family, the kinship that we know as the Unity and Equality of All.
The interrelation of all life, here on earth and beyond, is evident in the loving link created by the Communication, Guidance and Healing from Spirit and Angels.
The evidence of the Communion of Spirits assures us of the Continuous Existence of the Soul and its Personality beyond the death of the physical body.
What we think, say and do result in positive or negative outcomes. Consequently, we accept this as our Personal Responsibility for the Creation of our Reality through Thought, Word and Action.
These results are governed by God’s code of Natural Law that applies to all and everything in both the seen and unseen worlds, as stated in our principle Actions Create Results according to Natural Law.
Life is continuously evolving. Our principle Eternal Progress open to Every Soul assures us that our souls are a continuing path on towards greater wisdom, love and light.
The Seven Principles are spiritual keys. When we meditate on them, consider their meaning and apply them to our everyday life, they open doors that lead to the fulfillment of our purpose here on earth.
