SpiritualismThe Serenity Association is part of a well established religious tradition, called Spiritualism, which is the science (knowing through demonstration), philosophy (love of knowledge and learning), and religion (reverence to live as purely and truly as we know how) of continuous life. Many fine organizations and churches serve this beautiful religion. The following teachings represent the key aspects of Serenity's understanding of Spiritualism, which are followed by a number of spiritual quotes from the Living Light Philosophy.
It teaches personal responsibility. It demonstrates that death is not the end of life but a change of condition of the individual consciousness. It removes all fear of death, which is but a door to the loving spirit world. It teaches that man is spirit and has a body and mind with which to work for his soul's purpose of gaining understanding here on earth. It teaches that man's spirit is the spark of Divinity which dwells in all living things.
It brings to the surface man's spiritual talents, such as inspiration, intuition, clairvoyance, and healing powers. It teaches that every spirit will progress through the ages to an unfoldment, sublime and glorious. It teaches us to be patient with ourselves and the world that is around us, for the earth is young in experience and the cycles of its development are far from complete. Patience is the greatest wisdom. The spiritual life must be learned and earned. It teaches that God is not one individual but all individuals. This Divine Intelligence is expressing through every form of life on the earth and in the etheric realms as well. We are individualizing within the God-consciousness which supplies generative power for the universe. This great play of life is unfolding so that the whole can know itself. ~~~
"[The Living Light by Richard P. Goodwin] includes 65 individual discourses, two seminars, and 71 sayings, of some of the most profound revealed text that was dictated from the Angelic Realm. It's an occultist area, All inanities truly on the path of becoming should own this book as the book removes the dogma of religion and offers the seeker pure insight from the Higher realms. Many occult schools offer you analogous information as grades, from the same realm in but you can get similar light for a chapter price minus the oath and waiting period of monthly lessons!'"
