Principles of the National Spiritual Alliance
What we believe
PRINCIPLE 1. INFINITE INTELLIGENCE: Infinite Intelligence is Deity, the designing and creating energy for all that exists. Existence is essence, guidance, meaning, purpose.
PRINCIPLE 2. ONE UNIVERSE/MANY DIMENSIONS: From one source came all. No matter surface differences, all is within us and each of us is within all else.
PRINCIPLE 3. THE IMMORTAL SOUL: The soul is eternal. While the body dies, the spirit lives on.
PRINCIPLE 4. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN MATERIALITY AND NON-MATERIALITY: Spirit transcends dimension. All souls, flesh and spirit, communicate with each other.
PRINCIPLE 5. PURSUIT OF TRUTH: Truth is eternal. We seek truth within ourselves, from other souls, sacred writings, and the natural order which sustains us.
PRINCIPLE 6. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY: Cause produces effect through thoughts, words, and deeds. We create ourselves and our circumstances and are alone responsible for our choices and creations.
PRINCIPLE 7. AFFILIATION AND MEMBERSHIP: Patience is the path to tolerance and tolerance is the path to love. We associate with this alliance to lovingly cooperate with ALL who seek spiritual understanding

Spiritualism is the Science, Philosophy, and Religion of continuous life, based upon the demonstrated fact of communication, by means of mediumship, with those who live in the Spirit World. Spiritualism Is a Science because it investigates, analyzes, and classifies facts and manifestations demonstrated from the spirit side of life.
Spiritualism Is a Philosophy because it studies the Laws of Nature both on the seen and unseen sides of life and bases its conclusions upon present observed facts. It accepts statements of observed facts of past ages and conclusions drawn from them when sustained by reason and by results of observed facts of the present day.
