The Spiritualist Church of Indianapolis

We Embrace the Ideology of Spiritual Growth Through Sharing!

[tscoi]

Patriotism and Spiritualism

We hear much negative news every day. To be fair, bad things are happening everywhere and many more good things are happening too,in our own country and elsewhere.  We were raised by our family, teachers, and many other people living in our community. We owe them a lot, respect, love, our lives, because they were taking care of us at time when we were too young and too weak to take care of ourselves.  We should show respect, honor, and be proud that we have such help from them and should give it back to our country seeing that…  

We, as Spiritualists, believe that we are bound to feel and manifest toward our country the purest, highest, and most faithful patriotism the world has known.

We believe that this nation was ordained and founded by a divine plan, for express purposes, having for their object the enlightenment and upliftment of Humanity.

We believe that one of these purposes, and perhaps the greatest, was the providing of a people, free in thought, fitted to receive and understand the great truths which Spiritualism teaches and proves.

We believe that the destiny of this nation is by no means as yet fulfilled, and it is our duty as Spiritualists to support in all ways our country, and labor to uphold its ideals to the divine level upon which they were launched.

We believe that it is a duty to live pure, upright, progressive lives, such as are worthy of an inspired nation, an inspired anthem, and an inspired flag, so that without shame and without reproach:

And the Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall wave,

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.  -H.E. Wheeler

Rituals and Ancestors

What food is to our body, ritual is to our soul. A ritual keeps us connected to our spirit, our soul and our purpose. Shaking hands with friends and strangers, celebrating birthdays, or as simple as getting ready for the day, all have routine or ritual that brings confidence that the day will proceed as planned.  

Different cultures also have rituals of life such as sacred holy days, births, weddings, funerals, parades, and so on.  This is the way humans live, celebrate and rejoice. Understanding the root of these traditions and knowing the biological ties are important especially as the shapes of families are shifting, in many cases due to the technologies used to assist in creating them.  

Whether one shares many characteristics with family members or defines oneself in opposition to them, relating with one's immediate kin is often the best way to understanding self.   Every year, thousands of people set off on the path to find their ancestors. They search for the names, dates, and places they need to complete their family trees.  Our ancestors were more than names and dates however. They were real people with full lives. Reaching beyond the basic awareness can help us understand their lives better, learn more about history, and often find a source of inspiration for our own lives.

Ancestors are the foundation of who we are because they passed on values and traditions through the generations. Once upon a time, they, too, were making their mark on the world through their choices. By honoring them and taking the best lessons from their efforts, we in turn honor and celebrate our own lives.  It is important to maintain a two-way kind of relationship with the ancestors. Our successes and failures in life are a direct reflection of who they are and once were.

Life is what we make of it, so it is said. It is very much so with ancestors as well. Your ancestors from the higher expressions can be a source of inspiration, help and protection. Many people have no idea how powerful the hidden influence of their ancestors is on the life they are living.  Building a strong working relationship with ancestors with the highest intent is foundational to the scheme of life. Once this relationship is built, assistance is available in every aspect of life, and they will be there to help. They are our own spiritual allies and are powerful, to say the least. Why wouldn't one choose not to access them? It is your birthright, so let us not forget those who are there to help!

Why communicate with Spirit?

You might ask, Why would anyone want to communicate with spirit? Good question.  All living things have a spirit, wisdom, and something worthwhile to communicate.   The purpose of the spirit energy is to fuel change and provide upliftment.  Communication of any kind is about choice no matter the level of awareness.  Countless individuals openly relay the proof of spirit communication through their gifts of healing and mediumship.  For some their communication with spirit is as natural and routine as one calling a friend on the phone.  Through this communication they know they always have the best support team as they promote:

·        Witnessing the power of love

·        Releasing fear of death

·        Connecting and finding comfort from deceased loved ones

·        Discovering and having a better understanding of life's purpose

Others through motivating inspirational thoughts create art, structure, design and innovations every day.  Scientific study and significant numbers of breakthroughs occurring  every day come from such motivating thoughts.  It is not difficult to recognize those thoughts, images and vibrations that came from a higher  level of consciousness because it resonates on a higher vibration.  Whether we recognize it or not, the knowledge of the ages is passed down through many means to include oral and written traditions, intuition, visions, dreams, and collective experiences.   Even though one may not know who or from where their inspiration came from, they, when being honest, know the source was from something greater than themselves.  For others that link is subtle and may not be easily noticed or recognized.    

Communication is about the transfer of energy both seen and unseen. Information carries its own level of energy based on the intent and source. Through the presence of guiding spirits their influence aids this world in its need to learn, understand, and grow. Humankind has and will continue to evolve and the process can be difficult and in many ways hurtful because of ignorance and fear.  Guiding influences point out the truths to be gained from such growth. They also assist in understanding the Natural Law that is in action and how to heal past transgressions. They are always available to offer a helping hand, a kind thought and encouragement during difficult times at a moment's notice when asked.  Communication is not required yet those who choose to tap in find the wondrous blessings that are always readily available.

Filling your Spirit!

If you are sensing emptiness in your heart, take a moment and inhale, just a few deep breaths then relax.  Yes, you can afford to take a few minutes out of the constant noise we experience these days. If you will, think back on your younger days when you were a child.  Pick the age when you felt young, hopeful, and maybe even indestructible.  During that time, were you curious and wanted to learn about everyone or everything?  Maybe you asked lots of questions with each answer bringing more questions to mind.  You might have noticed life has pain at times and wanted to heal it for yourself or others. Some of us kids wanted to feel the pull of friendship while others built fortresses. 

There were kids who wanted to conquer challenge after challenge while others wanted to feel the wind whipping across their face as they ran, jumped, and danced every where they went.  Hold this time in your heart when life felt so full of potential.

As you reflect back on those times know that you did not venture alone or without the guiding grace of the Infinite Spirit.  In your honest reflection recall how that still quiet inner voice always provided a bit of wisdom and love whenever needed.  You may have called it by other names, such as God, Saint, Angel, or an ancestor, all from a higher source of energy.  It is that openness to your higher power that you were naturally aware of from birth. 

Unfortunately as you matured you learned from others that those thoughts were not real or you were told to grow up and not pay attention to such foolishness.  Consequently you decided to continue this journey on your own.  Until now! Something inside of you is shouting from your heart, urging you to rethink what is important, to make choices that satisfy a deeper yearning that you were naturally drawn to as a child.

Spiritualists recognize the reality of Natural Law and that it produces wonders as normal revelations. It just is!  We feel renewed, healed, and restored as we open our hearts and minds to the energy flow that is available for the asking.  It is up to us to live and learn and love and forgive and accept and share and grow into this our one precious life.  

Again we invite you to reflect on your life using a different perspective.  One that helps you remember the significant moments no matter how small or slight.  It is in those moments that you will again sense another's presence, for you never walk alone through this life's adventure.

Listing the three most important spiritual lessons you have experienced

We invite you to list the three most important spiritual lessons you have experienced so far.  Each of these would have created a shift in your awareness. Here are three that stand out today…

  1.  Natural Laws, fundamental forces within nature, prevail and are always in balance.  One law crudely stated is "what goes around comes around."  Observation has shown that any effort to intervene will never gain favor or loss.  Correct understanding of this law realizes that there are no coincidences.  However, there are those moments of “meaningful coincidence” when the boundary dissolves between the inner and the outer worlds. Touching the heart of our being, synchronicities are moments when we realize a higher reality that has been and is always present.

 2.  Each one of us is the master of our own destiny and that every thought and action we create impacts ourselves and all others within the web of life.  Be it in the form of a plea, prayers of gratitude, negotiation, declaration of fact, or screams of frustration.  All are heard no matter the reason or the source.  Claiming and owning our destiny makes choices appear that were previously oblivious.  All that is necessary to our life's journey is available to us through our own willingness to open our hearts and minds to the possibilities of our higher self.

3.  There is no death and there are no dead.  Death is not the extinction of life. As Rumi, a Persian poet once described it, “Death is our wedding with eternity.”  Every moment there is the gradual disintegration of our bodies through a balance of cell death and cell division. Cells in our body die, all the while the whole continues to thrive. Such is nature.  Through the process, we are given a new body. We are revitalized with the same life force that energizes all living things.  Deepok Chopra in his book entitled Life After Death describes: “Every former self you have left behind is a ghost. Your thoughts, your body, your ideas have all changed. You have survived thousands of deaths every day as your old thoughts, your old cells, your old emotions, and even your old identity passes away. You are already living in the afterlife right now. What is there to fear?”

Desire into Action!

I believe that our thoughts, words and actions create the life we are living today. The wheel of change starts with a thought. After that you turn your thought into an ardent desire in your heart and use words to verbalize your intention. The universe will hear you. There used to be a saying “talk is cheap;” what a truism. Because if I put no energy in my words then I get exactly what I put out - lifeless words.

The most important aspect, once you have stated with conviction what you desire, is ACTION. If you desire something then go for it! It's time to stop making excuses, and to keep putting off until tomorrow what can be done today. Procrastination is not an option in creating the life you desire. Without the follow through of action you will be stuck in the mire of your own unfulfilled desires. No action would be like saying, "I’m going to win the lottery", yet you never purchase a ticket! Maybe you want a better job making more money and up until now you have been too busy doing the same old routine to actively seek out new prospects. Hence you get the same old same old day to day existence. Maybe you are alone and want companionship or friends. Then you must actively open the door and step out into the world.

Give your actions a powerful boost. Have trust and belief in the universal supply. It is having faith in our Higher Power. I know the Universe has an unlimited supply, I know that which I desire for self is within my grasp, I know that it takes my positive energy, the love energy that I feel for the desires I choose to manifest. The way of the universe is that like attracts like and where there is a need, the universe seems to find a way of meeting those needs through opportunities.

As you start on the path to making your desires come true, it's important to have a sense of what you are accomplishing. Though Rome wasn't built in a day and you may not progress as quickly as you want. Ongoing action is asking my Higher Power to give guidance so I can stay on track and then being available to recognize my true desire when it manifests. Action is living with that certainty and knowing beyond any doubt that the Universe supplies. The most important thing is not to think that your life is terrible and that you'll only find happiness once you achieve your desired end state. Enjoy the journey because the universe will bring wondrous opportunities along the way to your life's success. (Rev. Bonnie Darby & Rev. Jackie Reeves)
