Over the centuries, Spiritualism has always been hindered, yet the movement is the oldest known in the world and has changed along with the evolution of humanity. Silver Birch reveals, as well as others before him, a true knowledge of God that has no need for intermediaries such as churches and theology. Reveals the binding of mediumship with God If today at the history by comparing it to his teachings, it is evident that the strength, the truth and the importance of his words broke the walls and his mission has not been exhausted. Spiritualism is the oldest movement known in the world; it is always the same force of the Spirit that is in operation.The philosophy of teachings like the ones you will find in this book, Teachings of Silver Birch, the Spirit Guide of Maurice Barbanell, reveals a true knowledge of the concept of God, one that does not need intermediaries like churches or theology. It reveals the bond of mediumship with God; it brings back to us the instruments we need to reason on religiosity.The demonstration mediumship gives us that life is eternal, that the spirit and the soul are immortal, has the purpose of bringing us back to the authentic knowledge of God, as Jesus already did. But Jesus Christ’s teaching has been lost, in many of its aspects, by churches and by theology themselves. The teachings of Spiritualism lead us to understand why each form of mediumship is a sacred gift at God’s service, always, whose purpose is not only to prove us that life is eternal, but also to make us aware that everything is in communion with God; we are all part of the infinite Spirit of God.
I turned to the teachings of Silver Birch in pursuit of wider notions of spirituality rather than stay fixed on the teachings of my Catholic youth. I've always believed that there may be alternaive explanations to spiritual phenomena in relation to the life of Jesus, for example. I've come to believe that the greater story of Jesus is not to be found in worshipping him as a God, but understanding his impact as a spiritual teacher who chooses to incarnate on earth for a greater purpose. That purpose, to me, is to remind us all that God is within us. We have immediate access to him without intercession of others. Added to this, Jesus' teachings are very simple. Love Good with all your heart, love others as I have loved you, and love each other. The world would be a far better place were these simple instructions followed to the letter. Highly recommended.
A most informative text makes sense of why we are here. We alone only are responsible for the way we live our lives. If we live by God's laws we have nothing to fear.
